Chapter 1906 Graduation Assessment
Andao Shi couldn't say what he liked or disliked about this kind of military parade with a strong Haihan color, but he knew that he would have to pass this test in the future, so he still watched the whole process carefully.
After the military parade, the foreign military cadets returned to the stands and lined up. Yan Chujie stood up and delivered a brief speech. Because of the use of loudspeakers, North Korean students who were slightly farther away could clearly hear the content of the speech.
"There is a saying in our country that fate will always favor the bravest! I think that everyone here is one of the bravest warriors in their respective countries, so they have the opportunity to come here to receive training! But I hope that in the future you will not only have the experience In addition to human courage, you must learn how to be a brave and strategic commander and lead your troops to win every battle! ”
"I hope you can take back all the skills you have learned here and build an invincible strong army for your country! Today's assessment is just a small test. From now on, when we fight side by side on the battlefield, we will be able to This is the time to truly test your learning results! Everyone, please do your best next time!”
Although Yan Chujie's speech was short, it was extremely inspiring and pointed out the bright future of the trainees. Even the North Korean trainees who had not yet officially enrolled were affected. Andao Shi secretly clenched his fists. He actually had experience fighting with the Haihan Army, but that experience was far from being called "fighting side by side". He just acted as a guide and translator for the Haihan Army. But one of the purposes of coming to Sanya for training this time is to truly cooperate with the Haihan Army in future joint military operations. When the post-war merits are judged and rewards are given, the North Korean soldiers can confidently claim their iron-blooded military merit. .
Of course, to achieve this, it is not enough for North Korea to simply send a group of officers to Sanya for training. The establishment, training, equipment, and command of the combat troops must be gradually integrated with the Haihan Army in all aspects. These matters are beyond the capabilities of an officer of Andao Shi's level. The funds and time required to achieve these goals are not small, and North Korea still has many specific difficulties that must be slowly resolved.
Considering North Korea's conditions, Ando Seok is considered a very lucky person. He has good qualifications and has attracted both countries to invest resources in him at the same time. As long as you work harder and don't take the initiative to commit suicide in the future, it will only be a matter of time before you become a senior general of the North Korean army. But now he has to complete the training course here to qualify for promotion to a general officer.
After Yan Chujie's speech ended, Gu Wei announced the start of the assessment. In fact, the assessment of foreign military cadets is also divided into two parts: a literary test and a martial arts test. However, the literary test, which tests military theoretical knowledge and command ability, ended three days ago. Today's outdoor test is all about It’s the “martial arts test” part.
The so-called martial arts test is mainly to test the individual combat capabilities of foreign military students. Although these trainees will be promoted quickly after returning to the country and may not have many opportunities to fight on the front line in person in the future, they are still required to master basic combat skills so that they can pass these skills on to the troops they are responsible for training and commanding.
The assessment items are also some basic items, such as fixed-point rifle shooting, armed cross-country, hundred-foot obstacle course, etc. These are almost all contents that these students have to practice all the time during their studies abroad.
Ahn Do-seok had seen similar training subjects at the Taedong River base, but at that time there were no dedicated instructors to provide detailed guidance to the Korean soldiers. They watched the Haihan soldiers practice and then followed suit. It's okay to learn a superficial knowledge through this kind of imitation, but it's impossible to master the technical essentials. This is why they have to travel thousands of miles to Sanya to obtain the true scriptures. And the current assessment can just prove to what level the trainees' military skills can be improved after receiving the orthodox Haihan military training in Sanya.
The rifle used by foreign military cadets is the Sany-type flintlock rifle, which is currently Haihan's main export flintlock model. Even this group of North Korean officers have used this rifle in the military. This kind of rifle has a simple structure and is easy to maintain, and its accuracy and range are also good, so several of Haihan's military allies have purchased them in large quantities.
However, North Korea's economic conditions are limited, and most of the individual weapons purchased from Haihan are still mainly matchlock guns. So far, it has only purchased less than 200 Sany-type rifles, almost all of which are equipped in the Imperial Guard. These North Korean officers had only practiced shooting at targets, and were not very familiar with the performance of this rifle.
North Korean officers soon discovered that the loading and shooting postures of these foreign military cadets were slightly different from the movements they had figured out on their own. Although everyone imitated the Haihan Army's tactical movements, Andao Shi could feel that the operations of these foreign military students were closer to those of the Haihan Army. This may be one of the results of coming to Sanya for training.
The subsequent target shooting results seemed to confirm this. After listening to three rounds of target reports, Andoshi thought that his marksmanship was still difficult to reach the average level of these foreign military students. In addition to using a large number of bullets to practice hand skills, perhaps more importantly, the orthodox combat skills learned from the Haihan Army play a role in this gap.
Adoshi recalled hearing Takahashi Minami talk about the differences in military training levels when he was at the Taedongjiang base. A major problem of the North Korean Army is that daily training is not close enough to actual combat, but their actual combat experience is far from enough to refine and summarize effective training methods. The Haihan Army's actual combat experience is quite rich, and it has encountered all kinds of opponents. , the training methods summarized from this are more effective in actual combat, and can even prepare different training methods for different opponents, but the North Korean army does not have such strength.
Of course, this is only at the level of individual combat skills. If it rises to the level of command, tactics and even strategy, the gap between the North Korean army and the North Korean army will be even greater. Takahashi Minami told Adoshi and others clearly at that time that even if they wanted to learn, what they could learn at the Datongjiang base was extremely limited. Only by going to Sanya to receive more professional training could they improve their combat skills. and military literacy have been truly improved.
The same is true for the next few other assessments. These basic combat skills may be known to all the soldiers present, but it is hard to say whether they can meet the assessment standards.
Andao Shi relied on his good ability in armed cross-country, and he should be able to meet the standard relatively easily in this aspect, but he never thought that Haihan would also shoot targets several times during the armed cross-country. If he did not hit the target, he would not be able to continue marching. It's not a big or small problem, I'm afraid it will delay a lot of time on the way.
Due to the small number of participants, the assessment did not last too long and ended in more than an hour. Judging from the results, everyone's assessment scores passed the passing mark, and everyone was happy. Of course, the passing line set by the Haihan military is relatively low, and it will not artificially create too many obstacles for these foreign military students. As long as they can complete their usual training tasks, they can basically pass the test easily.
In addition to the passing level, the military has also set up an "excellent" level. Students who can enter this level are considered to be above average even in the Haihan Army. Among the more than 40 students who participated in the assessment today, only two met this standard. The Fujian Ming Army and the Annan Army had one family, while the Champa Army had a blank slate.
According to past practice, trainees who achieve "excellent" results are eligible to receive a completion certificate personally issued by Yan Chujie. This is considered a great honor for the trainees, and is even enough to make the watching North Korean military officers jealous. But the honor does not stop there. Yan Chujie then announced in public that Haihan and various military allies have initially agreed to establish an organization specifically responsible for liaison, coordination and command of allied operations next year. Its headquarters will be located in Sanya , and foreign military trainees who have achieved "excellence" in training over the years will receive invitations to serve in this organization.
"Yes, that's right. We will open more military resources to various allies, and these outstanding officers selected by us will even have the opportunity to command a Haihan army in the future. It will be a true sense of shoulder to shoulder. Fight!”
Yan Chujie's words immediately attracted the attention of everyone present. If they could command a Haihan army to fight in their lifetime, it would undoubtedly be an extremely rare situation for these foreign military students. Of course, the threshold for this kind of treatment is quite high. Even if they are already considered elite soldiers in their respective countries, if they want to enter the organization that Yan Chujie mentioned, they may have to go through another fierce competition to be the best of the best.
Andao Shi could hardly believe his ears. He thought that if such an arrangement could really be realized, wouldn't it be a disguised form of allowing foreign soldiers to serve in the Haihan Army?
But I am afraid that no one can refuse such a temptation, and Haihan's allies should not have too many objections to it. After all, almost all countries that have formed alliances with Haihan regard Haihan as a protective umbrella. If Haihan is allowed to If there are people in the Haihan army who can speak out, there will be an additional effective channel for communication with Haihan no matter what happens in the future. And by arranging for senior military officers to maintain such a close cooperative relationship with the Haihan Army, they may be able to learn more than military observers and overseas students.
Yan Chujie was quite satisfied when he saw the reaction of foreign military cadets. The Ministry of National Defense has been planning this matter for a long time, and negotiations with all parties have also continued for a long time. Only recently has the general framework been drawn up.
To put it simply, this is to separate the military cooperation in the South China Sea Alliance led by Haihan and form a closer and more efficient military organization. Haihan will take the lead in establishing a joint command to be responsible for planning and commanding the coalition's military operations. action.
Such a military institution will definitely require the contribution of people from all countries, and Haihan's requirement for candidates is of course that they must be able to connect with the country's military system. Military talents trained for all parties over the years naturally become the first choice. Of course, Haihan's approach is not without the intention of "making all the heroes in the world available to me", gathering military elites from various countries under his command, and allowing their talents to fully play their role in Haihan's military system.
As for whether there will really be foreign military officers commanding Haihan Army operations in the future, this is only a theoretical possibility. Direct command on the battlefield may not happen. For example, in the future, the foreign military staff officers under the Joint Command will formulate a certain combat plan, and the specific executor will be a certain unit of the Haihan Army. This indirect completion of command operations will probably be regarded as fulfilling Yan Chujie's words.
But few of the foreign military students could take these situations into consideration at the moment. They even automatically ignored the words "there is a chance" that Yan Chujie said and directly regarded this possibility as an objective reality. Just thinking about being able to command a Haihan army to attack a city on the battlefield, this is simply the pinnacle of one's military career.
An Daoshi was calmer than most people. He was not dreaming about how he would command a Haihan army in the future, but he was thinking about the purpose of the Haihan people to establish this organization. But with his vision and knowledge, even if he could think that the Haihan people's purpose was not that simple, it was still difficult to get to the truth of the matter.
The current group of foreign military cadets who are undergoing the graduation assessment are already congratulating the two lucky ones who have qualified in advance. If things develop as smoothly as Yan Chujie said, they should already be serving in this coalition organization by this time next year.
"Andao Shi, as a group of us, it all depends on your performance!"
The words of his colleague made Andao Shi wake up from his deep thoughts. He quickly shook his head and said: "As you just saw, it is not easy to achieve excellent standards. I think I am not at this level yet."
"You are the first in the martial arts competition in Datongjiang. If you can't do it, then we can't do it..."
"You have to work harder. Our country in North Korea cannot be like that country in Champa, without even one person who stands out!"
But his colleagues refused to let him go. Every word you said to me encouraged Andao Shi to do his best. Only then did Andao Shi realize that after Haihan established this organization, it would undoubtedly become another stage for competition in the military strength of various countries. Whichever country received the largest number of people invited by Haihan would naturally have the light to lead the wind. If there is not even one qualified candidate by then, and you have to make do with selecting someone to occupy a position, it will be difficult for you to have a say in this organization.
As a latecomer, North Korea's military strength is undoubtedly inferior to that of Haihan's other allies, and it may not even be comparable to a small country like Champa. If it doesn't work hard, it is really possible that it will be defeated by An embarrassing situation arises due to the selection problem.
