Although when talking about Africa, everyone will think that this place is a barren place, and the black uncles either live in the grasslands or in the virgin forests. In fact, it is almost the same, but this does not mean that all the black uncles are masters of survival in the wild.
Countless black uncles die in forests and grasslands every year, and the causes of death are various. Some are attacked by wild animals, and some get lost and starve to death. Therefore, in fact, the survival ability of black uncles in the wild is not necessarily that good. Except for a few hunters, they make a living from forests and grasslands and are familiar with every plant and tree, but there are not many such people.
However, it is not impossible. There are still many hunters who are forced to join the army because of their livelihood, and a considerable number of them have been sent to Shepard. Shepard also uses the spirit of using it to death. The top performers were appointed team leaders.
In addition to receiving additional military training every day, these team leaders are also responsible for teaching the survival skills they know to their team members, including finding water and food, how to make fire and identify directions, etc. Shepard also introduced KPI assessment , and this time the punishment is more severe. The team that falls behind will be thrown directly into the depths of the forest by a truck, and then let them come out bit by bit.
Although it is quite risky to survive in the forest, fortunately, these unlucky people are thrown in in groups every time. The more people there are, the greater the probability of survival. In addition, there are teams and survival smoke bombs. If In the event of a dangerous situation, the Bird Helicopter, which patrols on time every day, will provide timely assistance. Whether it is transporting personnel or dropping supplies, it can be completed in a short time.
After repeated field training, the survival ability of the black uncles has also made a qualitative leap. Although they still cannot reach the level of regular armies in developed countries, at least they have learned to identify directions and the most basic survival skills. .
And another benefit of endless boring physical fitness is that black soldiers will be very active in learning things that have nothing to do with physical fitness, even though most of them are illiterate and can only rely on oral teaching and movement gestures to understand the specific meaning of those things. , but it is much better to sit on the ground and learn something than to run three kilometers cross-country with arms.
The instructors also discovered this situation, so when they were teaching military theory, once someone made a mistake, they no longer provided any spiritual education. Instead, they asked the other person to run physical fitness. If they couldn't do three kilometers, they would run five kilometers. Five kilometers If you can't, just run ten kilometers. It doesn't require how long it takes you to finish, but you can't stop. Others are learning from you and you run. Others take a break and you run. Others eat while you are still running!
The advantage of this is that these two hundred black soldiers learned the correct aiming posture in less than a week and understood what three points and one line are.
At this time, Shepard distributed the weapons, but even if the guns were fired, it was still very early before live ammunition shooting. The black soldiers still had to learn how to disassemble and maintain the guns, and this work was difficult for both students and instructors. It's a more painful process.
After all, in addition to their low cultural literacy, the black uncles also believed in the truth that great strength can produce miracles. The process of disassembling and assembling the rifle took a full two weeks, and by the time they were able to master the assembly and disassembly of the weapon, A full third of the year has passed!
"Okay, I can finally teach them how to shoot!"
"But Colonel Kent will be here tomorrow. Isn't it a little too late to teach this now?"
"It's too late, we don't have to teach shooting just because he's here!"
"But he has to inspect tomorrow. It's hard for us to explain to the Pentagon!"
"It's okay, there's someone above us!"
This is not because the commanders are alarmist, but Shepard's training progress is really behind. He spent nearly two-thirds of his time on physical fitness, and they only managed 200 people, and there are still some left. The 600 people down there haven’t even started yet!
"Believe me, once these two hundred people are taken care of, the rest won't be a problem!"
Shepard also knew that these commanders had different opinions from his own, and he did not force them to accept them. After all, everyone was trying to complete their work.
The next day, the expedition team from Kinshasa arrived at the training camp in a military vehicle. Before entering the camp, Colonel Kent's eyes lit up when he saw the energy of the black soldiers standing guard outside.
"It seems like our little friend can really give us a surprise!"
Colonel Kent was immediately full of expectations. After all, to judge the combat effectiveness of a unit, the difference can be seen from the mental outlook of the soldiers.
But Colonel Kent didn't know that Shepard had more surprises for him.
As the Katanga Province Garrison's best project, the first thing Shepard showed to Colonel Kent was the physical fitness of black soldiers. The colonel sat under a shady umbrella with several US military officers and senior defense officials from Kinshasa. Enjoying drinks, the black soldiers rushed outside the training camp carrying their weapons and personal belongings.
Colonel Kent nodded repeatedly as he looked at the flying black soldiers. This training is really good. It seems that Shadow Company does have some skills. But I don't know why, the training subjects of these black soldiers are not in the US military, but they are a bit similar?
As a veteran military training instructor, Kent is quite familiar with the military training subjects of infantry from various countries. The five-kilometer armed cross-country at the beginning was just familiar to him, but after that, Shepard actually made another four-kilometer Watching Uncle Black running happily in the 100-meter obstacle course, the senior officials of the National Defense Forces from Kinshasa applauded repeatedly, but now Colonel Kent couldn't sit still.
"John, why do you think your training mode looks a bit like Russians?"
"After all, our enemies are the Russians. There is nothing wrong with us learning how our enemies think. We have also adopted many Western-style training methods, but I still retain these Russian styles. After all, only in this way can you Know what Russian training is like!”
Kent took a deep puff of the cigarette, then puffed out the smoke through his nose while frowning and asking Shepard in a low voice.
"Did you do that on purpose or by accident?"
"It's intentional!"
Shepard replied quite proudly.
Kent, on the other hand, looked solemn. He looked at Shepard silently and finally said helplessly.
"But if something goes wrong, I won't be able to report to the Democratic Republic of the Congo!"
"Ah, are you so responsible?"
"What nonsense is this? Do you think I'm here for vacation?"
