New Army barracks.
Yang Gan stood on the podium and began to give a speech. He didn't say much, but he was cruel.
"Everyone has doubts. The military order said to recruit five thousand people, but there are fully ten thousand people here."
"Actually, the military order is not wrong. The number of people recruited is indeed five thousand. This means that five thousand of you will be eliminated."
"From today on, your life will not be easy. You will undergo the most severe training. In a short period of time, you will not be able to return home."
"However, any daily necessities, food and drink that need to be purchased will be provided by the military camp for free, and the monthly salary will be paid to your relatives on time."
"In one month, there will be one test every three days and one test every five days. When there are only 5,000 people left, the new army will be established."
Yang Gan opened his hands and said with blazing eyes, "From today on, I am the commander-in-chief. On weekdays, Krisna, Belika and the generals from the Tri-Service Academy are responsible for your training."
When the army speaks, it is enough to be simple and easy to understand. Those who don't care about anything can understand it. Very few people can understand it.
Yang Gan pointed to a row of small houses next to him.
"Today is the official day for the selection of new troops. To celebrate, let's do a 5-kilometer cross-country run with weights. Everyone, let's start!"
Everyone was discussing in their hearts.
"What a celebration."
"Damn it, I hate cross-country travel with a heavy load."
"Hey, I heard that the food here is very good."
Under the guidance of their subordinates, all the soldiers began to receive a pair of shoulders at the door of the small room, which they had just carried on their bodies.
Some soldiers felt very relaxed, while others looked distressed. It was obvious that the weight was putting a lot of pressure on them.
Carrying twenty kilograms is no joke.
Who can't carry twenty kilograms of weight?
However, under strenuous exercise, the weight gradually makes people feel heavier and heavier. Only people who have run cross-country can realize this.
Ten thousand people were divided into formations and began to run around the military camp.
Yang Gan waved his hand, and one of his subordinates brought him a chair. After sitting on it, he leisurely put on his sunglasses and began to take a nap.
I took a medicinal bath using the powerful dragon and bird technique this morning. It felt like my whole body had been pricked by needles. All my strength was exhausted in a single medicinal bath.
Fortunately, I had just rested for a while and drank some nourishing medicinal food during the morning meal, which immediately made me energetic.
But as the weather got hotter and hotter, Yang Qian felt a little like sleeping.
He stretched out two fingers and gestured to his subordinates.
The men immediately brought over a large awning made of coir rain leaves.
When the shadow covered Yang Gan's face, he felt relieved.
Yang Gan decided to come over for half or an hour every day to cheer everyone up. During the rest of the time, he still had a lot of things to do.
It is still very necessary to show your face appropriately in front of the soldiers.
When everyone ran back, Krisna started timing, and the sound of gasping for breath was amplified by the number of people.
Yang Gan smacked his lips, woke up faintly, and turned to look at Krisna.
"how's it going?"
"The fastest one will arrive in 21 minutes, and the slowest one will arrive in 30 minutes."
Yang Gan rubbed his sleepy eyes, his face full of surprise, not bad, almost everyone's physical fitness was similar.
If Yang Qian remembers correctly, in the modern army, a person who can complete a 5-kilometer cross-country run with weights in 26 minutes has reached the qualifying line.
Unfortunately, not enough~~~~~!
An ordinary soldier would be proud of such endurance, but the new army is Yang Qian's future trump card, his invincible trump card.
How can it be the same as an ordinary army?
After everyone had rested, Yang Gan curled his lips and shouted loudly.
"You're done running, right?"
"Yes." The soldiers shouted.
The expression on Yang Gan's face changed, and he said with strong ridicule.
"I thought the elites selected from the entire army were so powerful, but now I see~~~Humph, they are far from satisfactory."
Suddenly some people were unconvinced. Even the king could not slander their efforts at will.
"Your Majesty, our physical strength is already outstanding among the vassal states. Aren't you satisfied with this?"
Yang Qian glanced at him and said calmly, "Who is the speaker?"
A man with a mustache stepped forward and said loudly.
"Tri-Service Academy, Sima Xin!"
"Yes, if you have any opinions, please raise them. I can tell you that I am very dissatisfied."
"The goal of the new army I selected is to train the best army in the Central Plains, to be outstanding? That's bullshit. The Polu Army is not outstanding among the vassal states? Isn't the Xuanjia Army not outstanding?"
"I want you to become the strongest army there is. This effort is not enough. Watch out!"
Yang Gan put on his backpack, and Krisna kept putting heavy iron ingots into it.
"You are carrying twenty kilograms of weight, and I am carrying the weight of one stone now. Boys, watch out."
Yang Qian rubbed his fists, moved his ankles, jumped down the stage, made a big hole, and then started running wildly into the distance.
Just before a cup of tea was served, Yang Qian ran back. His face was not red, he was not out of breath, and he was not even sweating.
"Christina, how long?"
"Time for a cup of tea."
In an instant, everyone began to communicate with each other. These are still humans.
Soldiers are not stupid. They can run ten miles in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. What is the concept of that? If we say it is not heavy-bearing and there are no hills, low-lying areas or pools in the middle, then that's okay.
But after all the conditions are added together, the time for a cup of tea is simply impossible.
The sound of swallowing continued, and many people felt that they had exerted all their strength to suck milk, but Junshang's face was not red and he was out of breath, which really hit them hard in the face.
What are these people? That was a wolf. They were selected from an army of 300,000 people. They were the best among the best. But at this moment, Yang Gan alone slammed their faces to the ground and stepped on them several times.
"Bang" sound.
The backpack hit the ground.
This sound seemed to hit the soldiers' hearts hard.
Yang Gan came to the stage, looked around and said loudly.
"In Yuntong County, the weight of one stone is converted into 120 kilograms, and 120 kilograms can be converted into 60 kilograms. The weight you are carrying now is 20 kilograms, which is forty kilograms."
"But you need to know that the new army's future armor will weigh 70 to 80 kilograms. Do you think that with your current strength and endurance, can you wear such heavy armor and go into battle to kill the enemy?"
Yang Gan's words caused them to explode instantly.
"What, why is it so heavy?"
"No way, this kind of heavy armor will make you exhausted."
"I thought the armor of the Xuanjia Army was heavy, but I didn't expect the armor here to be even heavier. As expected, it's as high as a mountain. I'm willing to let you down."
"What can we do?"
Everyone was panicking. They were all people who had fought in the war. If you put this armor on, you would be an iron bastard. You don’t know how you will die in the end.
Listening to everyone's discussion, Yang Qian did not blame them.
He knew the soldiers he was training, and all the soldiers were panicking because they couldn't wear their armor perfectly.
"Generals and soldiers, do you think I am a stupid person?"
Everyone was stunned, and someone spoke directly.
"How is it possible? Your Majesty is extremely intelligent and strategizing. If your Majesty is stupid, are there still smart people in this world?"
"Yes, your Majesty has been fighting for so many years and has never been defeated."
When everyone came back to their senses, they realized how could your Majesty not know about the problems they could discover.
Yang Qian looked at Sima Xin who had objections in the second row and said.
"Tell me, am I a stupid person?"
Sima Xin cupped his fists and said, "Everyone knows that your Majesty is loyal to the country and destroys enemies. How can he be such a stupid person?"
"Hahaha, I have never had to listen to other people's words. Now I want you to tell me whether you think my words are credible."
Sima Xin said loudly, "I absolutely believe whatever your Majesty says."
Yang Qian nodded with satisfaction, but this person kept it in mind.
These days, the polarization is very obvious. Smart people are almost like beings. There are also many stupid people. I have seen some particularly stupid people.
Yang Gan patted his chest and said, "Remember, you are soldiers. Soldiers should obey military orders as their first priority. If you want to persist, just persist. If you don't want to persist, you can leave now."
"When there are only five thousand people left, it will be the time when the new army is truly established. At that time, everyone can easily equip heavy armor."
"Although these armors are heavy, they can ensure that you survive as much as possible on the battlefield. What I want are soldiers who can defeat the enemy, not let my own soldiers die."
Other words may not arouse the soldiers' military morale, but the latter sentence, which said that they would not let their soldiers die, deeply moved them.
After Yang Gan finished speaking, he directly handed the task to Krisna and Belika.
The composition of the entire training team is very simple. Krisna and Belika are responsible for physical training.
As for martial arts, it will be handled by the people under Baili Shuang's command.
Tactics, battle formations, and officer-level strategic training were handed over to retired generals from the Tri-Service Academy.
These generals are either disabled or quite old, and some have hidden illnesses due to years of fighting.
In order to arrange them properly, Yang Gan selected some people and asked them to pass on their experience and various situations on the battlefield.
In this way, he will have more and more generals under his command, and these are all his direct descendants.
Yang Qian once naively thought that as for military generals, he should go and find out if there were any who were in the field.
But after sending people to search for it, they discovered that famous generals had vassal states.
There are no famous generals with only mediocre skills, and not many of them are worth looking at.
As time went by, Yang Qian also gave up his plan to recruit military generals. Later, he found that it would be easier to train them himself.
After Yang Gan left, new torture began. In Krisna's eyes, these were all big treasures.
She has excellent physical fitness and strong plasticity. It is a pleasure for her to have so many people letting her train.
Just now, she was already thinking, what would happen if these ten thousand people were put in Sparta?
