Chapter 2246
"Accelerate the pace, don't stop! Adjust your breathing and master the rhythm!"
With the instructor's loud shouting, Andao Shi used all his strength to climb over a log roadblock and continued to stagger towards the next target. Behind him were a dozen other panting soldiers. Although they were all exhausted, no one dared to relax under the instructor's eyes and could only hold on to complete the current training task.
This kind of long-distance weight-bearing obstacle course requires training with combat weights, which places very high physical demands on the trainees. Many new trainees are simply unable to complete the training requirements of the instructors in the early stage. Although Andoshi was born as a hunter and was best at cross-country marching, he still couldn't bear it when he first started training. However, Haihanjun was able to complete the same training program in one go, which also made them more aware of the gap in strength.
Even after more than half a year of training in the military, this project still makes many foreign military trainees complain. Although Ando Shi was able to complete it relatively smoothly, his results were never particularly outstanding. And as far as he knew, there were several students from Annan and Fujian who performed much better than him in this project.
However, this event was one of the events to be competed in this competition among students. Although the prince had promised generous rewards to the North Korean students who were being trained, saying that as long as they could win the first place in each event in this competition, Fame will bring rewards, but Andao Shi knows very well how difficult it will be to win the first place in a competition with so many strong players. Even in the event he is best at, he can't say he is sure of winning the first place.
But it was this atmosphere that made Andoshi realize that he must strengthen his own strength as soon as possible in order to narrow the gap with other forces.
Not long after he entered the military academy, Andosi realized that North Korea was not as powerful as he thought in the past. There were actually so many countries in the world whose military strength was not weaker than North Korea. The only good thing is that the forces we have come into contact with so far seem to be allies of Haihan, and North Korea and Haihan have already formed a military alliance, so there seems to be no need to worry about these forces becoming North Korea's opponents.
Of course, the premise is that North Korea must always stay in the same camp as Haihan. Otherwise, you have to think about the multinational coalition force that Haihan brought to North Korea last year, which was more powerful than the Qing army.
Andao Shi finally crossed the finish line with a heavy breath. He put the rifle in his hand on the ground and supported his body so as not to fall. It took him a while to adjust his breathing evenly. Then he straightened up, took off his backpack, and took the I took a big gulp out of the kettle and poured the remaining water on my head. Only then did I feel a little better.
Running a full ten miles with heavy obstacles is no joke. When Andao Shi was hunting for a living in his hometown, he would rarely run so far in the wild with dozens of kilograms of equipment on his back. Although he can complete such intensity of training now, it is still very difficult to enter combat status immediately after completing the march.
"Ando Shi, third place, your performance this time is better than last time, but your speed in climbing over obstacles is too slow, and you need to continue to strengthen your training. Do you understand?" The instructor walked up to him and announced to him that this time Test results.
"Yes, instructor!" An Daoshi immediately raised his chest and raised his head and responded loudly.
After the instructor walked away, Andao Shi slowly lowered his head and sighed. He also knows that his shortcoming lies in his ability to overcome obstacles, but his parents only have this innate condition. He is not tall enough, so it will be difficult to overcome those obstacles. No matter how hard he practices, the level of improvement can only be achieved. It will still be extremely limited.
The two people in front of him have never changed since this group of students started this training. One is an officer from Fujian Xu Jiajun, and the other is an officer from Annan Kingdom. These two people can use Andao Stone every time. He was left behind for at least twenty or thirty feet, and only his back could be seen, but he never succeeded in catching up.
And Ahn Do-seok is already the Korean with the best performance in this event. There is still a clear gap between his other teammates and him. If we want to fight for the ranking in this event, we can only compete for third place. location.
Of course, if North Korea can perform better in other events, then it may be able to make a difference if it can take third place here. But the problem is that according to what An Do-seok knows so far, the strength rankings of North Korean students in other events are not even as good as the long-distance weight-bearing obstacle course. It is difficult to squeeze into the top three.
This means that if the competition does not go well, it is likely that this will be the only event in which North Korean students can compete for rankings.
Although there is no such word as "nothing to be missed" in Li Zhi's instructions, if this group of elites who have been selected through layers of training have received military training in Haihan for more than half a year, they still can't even show a decent performance in the competition. If you can't even get a ranking, then it will probably be difficult for you to report to Li Xie afterwards.
But this cannot be blamed on Andao Shi’s group for not working hard during the training. In fact, they still worked hard, but their own strength is limited, and they are not like the trainees sent from other places because they have the experience accumulated in the past many years. , thus having better adaptability to Haihan's military system and training methods.
With such an advantage, it will be difficult for Andoshi and others to catch up in the short term through hard work. Perhaps in five or six years, the soldiers sent by North Korea for training will no longer be inferior to other countries in this regard, but not yet. Whether North Koreans admit it or not, the strength gap does exist objectively.
Of course, the gap in strength between trainees from other countries does not mean that Andoshi and others did not learn real skills while studying abroad. In fact, during this period of more than half a year, individual combat skills training was only the entire training subject. They also learned a lot of military theory and combat command skills. Just listening to the analysis of battle cases explained by the instructors in the past six months was enough to raise his command level to a higher level.
Although these things he has learned have not yet been tested in actual combat, Andao Shi can also feel that after learning these things, his understanding of military affairs has been greatly improved than before. Combined with the experience of fighting side by side with the Haihan Special Regiment last year, he also had a deeper understanding of some of the Haihan Army's tactical arrangements.
At this time, if Ando Shi is asked to command another unit, even if it is a traditional unit without muskets and artillery, he is confident that he can perform better than before going abroad for training.
But after all, Andao Shi must perform brilliantly in the upcoming competition, so that he can be reused by the court after returning to his country.
Compared with the hard-working North Koreans, the soldiers sent by Fujian for training are obviously more relaxed. The group of students sent by Xu Jiajun was headed by Dong Shangyi. As the fourth son of Dong Yanyun, Xu Xinsu's capable staff member, Dong Shangyi was one of the young officers of the Chongwu Institute of Qianhu in Yongning, Fujian Province. He was one of the young officers promoted very quickly in the Xu family army. After being promoted to Qianhu, he was immediately sent to Haihan to study abroad.
Dong Shangyi is not just a second-generation official who rose to power by relying on his family background. In fact, his personal strength is quite good. He has practiced martial arts since he was a child. At the age of fourteen, he was specially approved to join the army by Xu Xinsu, and he was taken by his side as a soldier. At the age of sixteen, He transferred to the combat unit and climbed up the ranks by relying on his military exploits.
Dong Shangyi is one of the two people who are always ahead of Andoshi in the long-distance weight-bearing obstacle race, which shows that his personal combat ability is not ordinary. "Brother An, I saw you running faster than usual today!" Dong Shangyi came over at this time and took the initiative to greet An Daoshi. He and An Daoshi had already known each other when they entered the camp, and they had developed a good friendship after getting along for more than half a year.
An Daoshi smiled bitterly and said: "I tried my best, but I still can't catch up with Brother Dong. I'm really ashamed!"
Dong Shangyi said: "Brother An, as long as you practice this kind of event frequently, you will naturally become better and better, so there is no need to be ashamed. I have told you before that our Xu Jiajun will arrange similar training in our daily training. Content, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is familiar with this, and An Nanjun must be similar. Brother An had never done this kind of training before coming to Sanya, but now he can surpass most people. This strength cannot be underestimated. ! ”
An Daoshi understood that there was some truth in what Dong Shangyi said, but the objective fact now is that his performance in this training program was far inferior to that of the other party, and the prince was probably not interested in knowing how much later An Daoshi came into contact with this training program than the other party. . Only the results of the great competition have practical significance to Andao Shi.
An Daoshi said: "My body is limited, so it will be extremely difficult every time I climb over obstacles. No matter how hard I train, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make any big improvements!"
"Brother An, you can't give up on yourself!" Dong Shangyi said sternly: "Brother An should know General Gao Qiaonan of the Haihan Army Special Forces, right?"
When An Daoshi heard this, he perked up and said: "Last year, I had the honor to fight alongside General Takahashi against the Qing army. Naturally, I know him!"
Dong Shangyi nodded and said: "General Takahashi is probably a little shorter than Brother An, but he is a famous fierce general in the Haihan Army. I was fortunate enough to see him demonstrate how to overcome such tall obstacles in the past few years. Then It’s so fast that I can’t even match it.”
Andao Shi said: "General Takahashi is a first-class fierce general. With my qualifications, how can I imitate him? Brother Dong is joking."
Dong Shangyi said: "Those of us present at the time also made similar remarks, but General Takahashi said that what he was able to achieve did not rely on extraordinary talent, but was achieved through continuous hard training in the Haihan Army. An Brother, you don’t think I’m born to be good at this project, do you? I just practice more than you and others!”
An Daoshi was silent for a moment after hearing these words, and then thanked Dong Shangyi for the suggestion. When he was chasing the Qing army with the special operations group last year, he saw the majestic appearance of Gao Qiaonan commanding the troops in combat, and he also heard many anecdotes about these short generals from the soldiers in the Haihan Army.
One thing is undoubtedly that General Takahashi is not just a verbal commander. There are many stories in the Haihan Army about his early years of fighting on the front line and killing enemies, and this general also relied on his With solid military exploits, he was promoted step by step from an ordinary soldier to his current status. An Daoshi knew that many soldiers in Haihan regard him as a role model. Now it seems that people who have this idea are not only in the Haihan army. Dong Shangyi is obviously one of his supporters.
However, as a foreign military student, it is somewhat taboo to talk about the senior generals of the Haihan Army in public. Xu Jiajun and Haihan have a close relationship. Maybe Dong Shangyi doesn't have to worry about these small things, but Andao Shi doesn't dare to make mistakes.
An Daoshi took the initiative to change the topic and said: "The time for the competition is approaching, and it's almost time for Brother Dong to show off his skills!"
Dong Shangyi waved his hand and said: "Brother An, please don't tease me. This big competition is just for me. I don't dare to think too much."
An Daoshi knew that this was Dong Shangyi's deliberate modesty, and he didn't tell him immediately, so he asked him if he knew what was special about this event.
Dong Shangyi looked around, lowered his voice and said: "As for what's special, I heard that Haihan invited several times more guests this year than in previous years. It seems that he wants to continue to expand the influence of this event."
An Daoshi said: "Could it be that we are planning to recruit more foreign military students through this?"
"Probably more than that." Dong Shangyi's knowledge and understanding of Haihan were obviously far greater than Dong Shangyi's. He shook his head slightly and said: "If Haihan plans to expand the scale of training, there is no need to make it so complicated. As long as the news is spread, everyone can Everyone will try to send more people to Sanya for further study, and I believe your country, North Korea, will be no exception.”
An Daoshi secretly thought that it was hard to say. There were only a dozen soldiers sent by North Korea to study abroad. One of the main reasons was the limited funds. It is still unknown how many people will be selected for the next batch and when they will be dispatched. In terms of financial resources, North Korea, which just experienced a national war last year, is obviously not as wealthy as the Xu family, the local tyrant of Fujian.
Then Dong Shangyi continued to say: "Haihan invited more people to watch the battle, probably for the purpose of expanding his influence. This will let the world know that Haihan is the core of the multinational alliance, and the operation of the alliance, What’s more, Haihan was able to follow his lead! ”
An Daoshi thought for a while and felt that this was indeed the case. When the time comes, everyone in the world will know that the armies of all countries are trained by Haihan. What this means is self-evident. And the reputation Haihan gained from this was much more valuable than recruiting more military students.
An Daoshi couldn't help but have a thought in his mind. With such prestige and influence, even the Ming Dynasty, Korea's former suzerainty, would be hard-pressed to reach the same height! From this point of view, it is indeed a wise move for North Korea to abandon the Ming Dynasty and switch to Haihan. But after knowing these actions of Haihan, what will Daming think about it.
