"What, kid, are you interested?" Yu Zhiliang asked with a smile.
“Yes, we won’t be going back until Monday morning, so we have time from tonight until tomorrow night,” Jiang Chu said.
"Oh." Yu Zhiliang nodded slightly, but his gaze had not left the containers carrying the dark gold.
"Commander, how about we make a deal?" Jiang Chu saw through Yu Zhiliang's idea at a glance and immediately smiled, "The hidden gold in the container will be 60% of yours. You can take our brothers to train and learn from us. Consider it tuition."
Upon hearing this, the members of the Band of Brothers looked at each other, their eyes wide.
They weren't afraid; they were excited.
Jiang Chu's decision at this crucial moment was indeed very bold.
According to Xia Kingdom's military law, even if Jiang Chu and the others handed over all of this dark gold, they would still receive a large portion of it.
Jiang Chu had also calculated that even if 60% of these dark gold items were given to the Wild Wolf Gang, he wouldn't suffer any loss. On the contrary, training together with the Wild Wolf Gang would bring them a greater benefit than the dark gold items, namely, experience in high-level battlefields.
Given the strength of the Wild Wolf Gang, the battleground they're going to will definitely not be an ordinary area like the Yellow Zone; they'll most likely train in more dangerous places.
Jiang Chu's operation this time was incredibly daring; it's highly likely that some of his comrades will sacrifice their lives there.
However, if they don't go, the team will suffer greatly if they encounter a bigger crisis in the jungle in the future due to a lack of sufficient countermeasures.
Therefore, Jiang Chu made this decision.
When Jiang Chu's gaze fell on Tuoba Rouyun's face, Tuoba Rouyun looked at him with certainty and admiration: "That's how it should be done. If the higher-ups blame you, I'll take the blame for you."
"Hehe, thanks for taking the blame, Chief Instructor!" Jiang Chu revealed a childlike smile.
At this moment, Yu Zhiliang nodded and said, "Jiang Chu, won't you reconsider? We're going to the deepest part of the Yellow Zone, and we might even have to go to Zone 14, which is the Orange Zone. It's even more dangerous there, and we might not be able to protect you new recruits."
"Commander, there's no need to consider it. New recruits need experience, and it's our honor to train alongside such a strong veteran!" Jiang Chu said firmly.
“There might be casualties.” Yu Zhiliang’s eyes flashed like lightning. “You led a group of new recruits with an average combat strength of no more than 500 deep into the orange zone without authorization. Did you think you would be court-martialed? Or are you trying to drag down your grade’s chief instructor?”
Just as Tuoba Rouyun was about to speak, Jiang Chu said, "I am very grateful to my instructor for being willing to take the blame for me, but while I appreciate the kindness, if this training exercise results in any personnel loss, I, Jiang Chu, am willing to accept military law!"
"Very good!" A hint of appreciation flashed in Yu Zhiliang's eyes. "I've never seen such a wild recruit before. Interesting, just my type! Kid, get your super psychic potion ready, get ready to come with us!"
"Yes!" Jiang Chu replied readily.
At this moment, the members of the Wild Wolf Regiment noticed that the new recruits of the Brotherhood were all showing extremely excited expressions.
These ignorant little brats!
Lieutenant Yang inwardly grumbled, but then she suddenly realized that she seemed to quite like these reckless kids, as if she saw a reflection of herself in them from her younger days.
...
Ten minutes later, the engineers from both teams returned and excitedly reported the situation.
They discovered a small dark gold mine about one kilometer from the ore processing plant, with proven reserves of around 2,000 tons.
Don't underestimate these 2,000 tons. Even if only half of them can be mined, it will be enough to equip at least 10 full regiments. Jiang Chu has made a great contribution this time.
To avoid any unforeseen complications, Jiang Chu had Tuoba Rouyun contact Qin Feng directly and inform him of the matter.
Of course, Jiang Chu didn't mention the training exercise with the Wild Wolf Gang.
When a general is in the field, he may not only disobey military orders, but also conceal them in good faith.
Qin Feng was very excited and praised Jiang Chu repeatedly. He immediately dispatched an elite team from the Military Academy to District 13 to carry out rapid mining.
The garrison in District 13 was originally under the command of the Thunder Legion. After receiving orders, they immediately rushed to the ore processing plant to take up their posts and wait for the arrival of the elite troops of the Dragon Capital Army.
Meanwhile, Jiang Chu and the others were already on their march.
Suddenly, the military watches of Jiang Chu and the other members of the Brotherhood, including Luo Xiaonan and Tuoba Rouyun, all vibrated. Two pieces of good news had arrived!
"You have completed the [Gathering Herbs] task. Due to the exceptionally high quantity and quality of the herbs submitted, your task difficulty has been upgraded to A-level! You are rewarded with a 1-level rank increase and 2000 KP military merits!"
"You have completed the [Ore Search] quest. Due to the exceptionally high quantity and quality of the ore submitted, your quest difficulty has been upgraded to A-level! You are rewarded with 2000 KP military merits and a piece of A-level top-tier equipment!"
