The people were all here, but Shepard still didn't directly send these guys out to work. It wasn't because he was kind-hearted, but because as a responsible capitalist, Shepard hated the most wasting capital at will, and the lives of employees were The boss's gold coins must be spent with value!
Therefore, after these employees from South Korea arrived at the camp, they had to undergo two weeks of adaptability training. Otherwise, if someone got their head kicked off by Uncle Black on the first day at work, it would be a waste of Shepard's time. He had already spent nearly half of the 750,000 yuan from the contractor, and he might still have to spend more money in the future.
Fortunately, it is relatively easy to train the Korean army. In terms of spirit, the Korean army during this period was still much more energetic than the younger generations who were addicted to girl groups and could not extricate themselves. This is partly because of this. At that time, South Korea was in the period of the Fourth Republic. Most of the senior military generals came from the old Japanese Army period. Therefore, the troops trained had some legacy of the Showa era, such as the relationship between superiors and subordinates and the relationship between the military and the people. The subordinates treated their superiors more than their own fathers. We are sincere and frightened. As for the military's treatment of civilians, it cannot be said that it has never done anything wrong, but it can be regarded as a fist-fight.
However, for the overlord country, the Korean soldiers were as obedient as ever. After Shepard divided these big soldiers into the American commander's squads by lot, there was not a single thorn in their side. Everyone only obeyed the commander's orders. This is also That's a good thing.
After fixing the establishment, it's a matter of training. In fact, there is no rigorous training. Shepard does not expect these guys to be able to train to the level of one against twenty, as long as they perform normally, most of the training he requires is It's about surviving in Africa.
Although European colonists have destructively exploited Africa for hundreds of years, much of the continent's landscape remains unchanged. It is a home for animal friends rather than a playground for humans.
Therefore, jungle survival training is very necessary. In addition, daily drills and shooting are also indispensable. On the one hand, it is to ensure the combat effectiveness of these guys, and on the other hand, it is to ensure the reputation of the company.
In later generations, when everyone mentions contractors, they will immediately think of the notorious Blackwater company in the Middle East. Although the bad things they do are also done by the regular army, but the regular army has public announcements to wipe their ass. What does Blackwater have? Shepard does not expect his men to do it. I can do no harm to the common people, but I also beg these guys not to think of being like thieves and soldiers, and people hate dogs. Then on the one hand, these guys have no energy to do bad things, and on the other hand, strict punishment regulations are formulated. As long as they do bad things, If the company's reputation is damaged, you're going to lose everything. In addition, he also strictly controls the alcohol standards during the mission. Anyone who enters a war zone and drinks and gets into trouble will also have to lose everything.
The company hired you to fight the war. If you want to drink, go back and drink yourself to death. No one will care!
This measure cannot be said to have immediate results, but it does have a very big effect. Now the three-year-old child in Katanga Province also knows that there is a new wave of mercenaries in this place who do not go to brothels or pubs. The reputation of Shadow Company , so it spread first.
"Hannibal!"
"Boss!"
Hannibal, who was watching his men's shooting training, heard Shepard greeting him, and immediately left the work to the noncommissioned officer beside him, and he trotted over quickly.
Because of the tropical rainforest climate in Katanga Province, most company employees have abandoned their heavy helmets and put on comfortable bunny hats. Even Shepard is no exception, but everyone usually puts their hat brim down. The only one who came down to block the sun was Hannibal. He rolled up the brim of his hat on both sides, like a Western cowboy.
"How about it?"
"It's not bad, these guys' shooting skills are barely up to par!"
"Is there anything better?"
"I marked a few of them as you said!"
"Well, let me see!"
Shepard took the booklet, looked at it for a few times and then nodded with satisfaction.
"That's good. These guys look pretty good. I just happened to have a batch of new guns that can be used by these guys!"
"New gun?"
"It can't be considered brand new, it's an old gun modified!"
Shepard said with gestures and explanations.
Although Knight Firearms Company was already in his hands, it was sheer fantasy for Knight to come up with a new era-defining gun in a short period of time. Shepard also wanted to get the mk17 or hk416 in one day. guy, but it is simply unrealistic. Knight's firearms currently have limited strength. Therefore, if Knight wants to get military orders, it can only start by modifying the guns.
Shepard didn't want to let Knight make a fuss about the AR15. Instead, he first modified the M14 that the military had piled up.
To be honest, as a weapon, the m14 still has something worthy of recognition, otherwise the civilian version of the Springfield m1a would not be widely praised by the market.
The high power and high precision are commendable advantages for the m14. The reason why it was so criticized in Vietnam is mainly because it was used in the wrong place. Otherwise, in the mountainous areas of Iraq and Afghanistan, seals and fourth-class people would not be able to Pick up the m14 again.
Knight's modification of the m14 was also based on Shepard's suggestions and requirements. As for Shepard's requirements, it was natural to figure it out on its own based on the answers of future generations.
According to Shepard's request, Knight's technicians re-ordered a batch of competition-grade barrels with high accuracy, then replaced the aluminum alloy gun body, added a pistol grip, and replaced the original heavy wooden stock. The alloy telescopic stock, coupled with Colt's triple sight, although it is not comparable to the later M14 modifications, is still enough to stand out in this period.
"The army should turn all those M14s into this!"
This was the first thing Hannibal said after seeing the new gun that had just been flown in. From a certain perspective, the saying that appearance equals combat effectiveness is actually not wrong, because a weapon with strong combat effectiveness does not necessarily have high combat effectiveness. It looks good, but the combat effectiveness of a weapon with good looks is generally not that weak.
The subsequent firearms test made many veterans praise it. Several guys even felt that they could kill a running rabbit at a distance of 400 meters.
Being able to get a vote of praise from the veterans showed that the direction was right. Shepard immediately distributed these modified m14s to each team, and did not forget to give the shooters a thick book to write their feedback. , so that he can continue to improve, and then use it to make money from the military.
“There are not many contractors with a conscience like me these days!”
