Shimono Port, Marine Corps training base.
He Sandao held a Mauser rifle like a child holding his favorite toy. He looked at it over and over again, touched it here and there, and occasionally put it on his shoulder to take a look.
Chief of Staff Tang Qianjun curled his lips and said, "Commander, you've been fiddling with this for an hour. Isn't that enough?"
He Sandao grinned: "Xiao Tang, you don't understand a man's happiness. A man's happiness is very simple. For example, holding this thing makes me feel full of energy!"
He held up his gun, looked at Tang Qianjun's dark face, and laughed heartily, "A few days ago, Tang Zhuguo sent me a letter, asking me to train you hard... Did you offend your grandfather? Or does he not know what I'm like when I train people?"
Tang Qianjun was in a terrible state. Ever since this unreliable commander came to the Marine Corps, he had been taking advantage of him, and he had no way to deal with him - they were all at the first-rate level, but they couldn't beat this guy!
He Sandao's swordsmanship is extremely fierce, and every time he strikes, it seems to contain a breathtaking sword intent!
It was so frustrating to fight with this guy. In short, he, a top-notch master, was a little different.
"Aren't you just forcing me to go back for a blind date? Besides, haven't you tortured me enough these days?"
He Sandao immediately became interested. He leaned forward and asked curiously, "Whose daughter is this?"
"Meng Yilian, the granddaughter of Prime Minister Meng."
"That's great! You two are a perfect match. When are you going on a blind date? I'll give you a month off!"
"No rush, wait until the training is complete. Let's go, this gun is different from the old one, we need to let the soldiers get familiar with it quickly."
"Okay, but I'll remember this. After this training session, you can go back and go on a blind date to finalize this important matter. A man should start a family and build a career. Starting a family comes first, and it's more important than building a career!"
The two walked out of the barracks and headed towards the camp. "For example, I'm now the commander of two armies. Isn't it because I got married? Xiao Tang..."
"Don't call me Xiao Tang, I'm already twenty-two!"
"Okay, okay, Xiao Tang, a man's heart will settle down only after he gets married. I'm telling you, before I got married..."
He Sandao didn't finish his words because Hua Nanxun, the chief of staff of the Third Navy Army, rushed over and said, "Report to the commander, an urgent document from the Ministry of National Defense!"
He Sandao grinned, "Any work?"
Hua Nanxun nodded very carefully, "I'm afraid it will be a huge job!"
He Sandao was overjoyed. He took the document and opened it to see: Order No. 1 of the Ministry of National Defense requires the Marine Corps to familiarize themselves with the new firearms within five days. The Marine Corps is on standby and awaiting instructions!
Just a few words, but the message contained is by no means simple.
He Sandao frowned and handed the document to Tang Qianjun. "You've read a lot of books. Can you analyze what this means?"
Tang Qianjun thought for a moment. "First, this is the Ministry of National Defense's Order No. 1. It's unprecedented, which is enough to show the importance of this document from the Ministry of National Defense. Second, five days to familiarize yourself with this Mauser rifle... It's very urgent. There may really be a big job."
"Third, stay put... That means the Ministry of National Defense's battle plan is still under discussion. They might already be on their way. Commander, we need to quickly familiarize the soldiers with this rifle!"
He Sandao was stunned for a moment, "That's not right. We only delivered a thousand guns, and I have 20,000 people here. What should I do?"
"This is a new weapon. I'm afraid the General Armament Department hasn't bought enough yet. So let the soldiers take turns training. Don't we have 20,000 rounds of ammunition?"
He Sandao glared, "Twenty thousand rounds of ammunition are useless. Each person can only fire one round. How can this be familiar?"
"This bullet is new too. It's incredibly lethal, and it must have been difficult to manufacture. Let's first let everyone touch the gun and get a feel for it."
What else can I do?
He Sandao had no choice but to say, "Let's do this first! You go and make the arrangements, I'll be there soon."
After saying this, Tang Qianjun left. He Sandao looked at Hua Nanxun and said, "Old man, I've handed over the Third Marine Corps to you. If you train it into a bunch of idiots, I'll make you drink up all the water in the sea!"
Hua Nanxun smiled bitterly and said, "I'm the chief of staff, the one who gives advice and plans. You just throw a training manual at me and ask me to train the Third Army into the navy's top combat force... Aren't you making things difficult for me?"
But he couldn't reason with He Sandao, this guy never reasoned!
"Anyway, I'll do my best."
"Bullshit! I want results! Train those new recruits hard. Oh, and when the shipyard builds the first battleship, you take your troops aboard and take it back for me. If it falls into the hands of Zuo Mu or Peng Lang, hey, you know what I'm going to do!"
He Sandao carried his gun and left after saying this.
Hua Nanxun looked miserable. With such a commander, had he made the wrong choice to join the army?
It seems that we need to arrange someone to keep an eye on the dock at all times, and as for the sea trial... let the Third Army handle it.
He Sandao came to the training ground and laughed foolishly when he saw the 20,000 men he had personally selected.
Twenty thousand first-rate masters!
I estimate that more than half of the top masters in the entire Daxia are now in my hands.
The only regret is that the ages of these soldiers are very different. The youngest is only twenty years old, and there are only three of them. The oldest is fifty-six years old, and the majority of them are between thirty and forty years old.
These people were originally in the various armies and navies. They were familiar with the training methods of the former Excalibur Army. The only problem was that their minds were a bit rigid. He Sandao felt that these people were a little dull, lacking the youthful vigor and vitality, and their ability to accept new things was not very strong.
For example, they find it easier to wield a knife than a gun.
madness!
Even if these guys have received firearms training, if a war breaks out, they will probably choose to draw their swords and rush forward to chop after firing two shots.
The situation has changed. If you don’t change your mindset, you will lose your life!
What if the enemy also has a gun? Even if you are wearing bulletproof armor, there will always be exposed parts.
Wouldn't it be more relaxing and enjoyable to just shoot it from a distance with a gun?
As for martial arts, they are relied upon when entering the melee stage.
Now the power of this gun is many times greater than that of a flintlock rifle. He Sandao has already tried it and found that its effective range has reached a full 400 meters, which is half the distance of a flintlock rifle.
No matter what, these guys must be made accustomed to using guns. After all, they are top-notch masters, and he would feel the pain if one of them died.
"The whole army has it!"
He Sandao roared loudly, and 20,000 people stood there in silence.
"From now on, the entire army will enter combat mode!"
"This thing is called a rifle. It will protect your lives. There are only a thousand of them. Now, group by group, familiarize yourself with the rifle!"
"My requirement is this: You must be as familiar with this gun as you are with a woman's body! Just touch it and you'll know which part it is and what it's used for!"
