Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 141 The Unique "Three-Before-Three-After" Mechanism (Please Subscribe)

"I can't give you an answer right now. I'll go to the quartermaster department later and ask. I'll give you a definite answer by tomorrow morning at the latest," Yuan Lang said.

Yuan Lang was able to answer military questions fluently.

The buying and selling of goods in the local community was truly a blind spot for him.

Fortunately, the brigade has a dedicated procurement department—the Quartermaster Department—which handles all external material procurement work, except for that of the Equipment Department.

"Okay, tomorrow is fine too."

Jackie Chan then placed a large stack of design drawings for the Killing House in front of Yuan Lang and said, "I designed the Killing House. All the necessary items are definitely not available in China. Ordering from manufacturers would require creating new molds, which would be too slow."

I suggest you find some welders and carpenters; I'll personally guide them, which will be better and faster.

Something I designed myself.

The advantage is that it can perfectly meet your needs, but the disadvantage is that you can't buy a finished product at all.

"Welders, carpenters, and bricklayers—we don't need to look outside for them; the engineering corps can handle it. We can just apply to the military region to transfer engineering soldiers over. It's just that…"

Yuan Lang frowned and said worriedly, "You're personally supervising the entirely handmade production? Won't that be too troublesome? Will you have enough time?"

The military is a small society.

Soldiers not only know how to shoot guns and cannons and fight on the battlefield, but they also have all sorts of strange and wonderful talents. There's nothing you can't find among them.

Let alone finding a few carpenters and welders, you can even find inheritors of ancient crafts.

"Don't worry about the time; I've calculated it in advance, there won't be any problems."

Jackie Chan confidently patted his chest and said, "Whether it's the walls, doors, windows, or the various furniture and decorations needed during training, we only need them to be functional; there's no need for elaborate finishing."

The materials used are basically light steel materials such as angle steel, round steel, and iron plates, plus various boards, wood, and hardware accessories.

As long as there are skilled craftsmen and enough manpower, I can give them the blueprints and it will be done very quickly.

It should be completed in no more than a month.

Once the walls and doors of various sizes are made, they can be easily assembled on any setting, such as a karaoke bar, dormitory, or office.

Fortunately, Jackie Chan had experience in his previous life of building a special operations brigade from scratch.

Otherwise, assigning so much basic work to a soldier who spends every day learning how to fight and kill would be a real torture.

"As long as you think it's okay, that's fine. After all, you're the one in charge, I'm just your assistant, haha."

Yuan Lang made a humorous joke, then turned to the second core section and asked, "How do you plan to arrange personnel?"

Should the entire Third Squadron participate, or should a select group be chosen first for experimental training?

It's a pilot reform.

Everything is subject to uncertainty.

How to arrange the personnel participating in the special training in a way that is most beneficial to this pilot reform plan without affecting the original operation of the Third Squadron?

This is a very important issue and needs to be carefully considered from multiple perspectives.

"I've already considered the trainees and have some ideas. You can listen to what I have to say."

Jackie Chan organized his thoughts and slowly said, "I considered it from two aspects."

First of all, this is just a pilot reform. The main purpose is not to train a large number of people, but to test whether my plan is feasible and suitable for large-scale promotion.

Secondly, the training equipment and facilities were too limited, and we had to make everything ourselves, which was simply not enough to support an entire squadron.

Unless the training program is widely adopted and mass-produced by specialized military factories, it will be impossible to guarantee the training of more people.

Based on these two considerations, I think...

The number of trial trainees should be small, and not too large; a small team is sufficient.

A company has three squads. One squad was used for trial training and reform, while the other two squads remained unchanged, which was just enough to maintain the normal operation of the company.

A team of 15 people is a suitable number to meet the various requirements of the trial training.

"You've considered everything very thoroughly, and your suggestions are very insightful. We can do as you say, but..."

Yuan Lang emphasized, "Without rules, nothing can be accomplished. Without a reward and punishment mechanism, special training will lack a sense of urgency and pressure, and will not be able to unleash their potential."

Therefore, I think the number of trial participants is acceptable; let's keep it at 15 as you mentioned. However, the trial list must be more flexible. Those who are not suitable should be removed and replaced with others. It shouldn't be a fixed set of 15 people.

Yuan Lang is quite experienced.

His suggestion concerns human nature, which is indeed a crucial point that cannot be ignored.

There is no doubt that the team members will train hard and diligently. No soldier who can enter the A team will slack off.

Without competition, the team members won't feel any pressure.

They will work hard, but they won't work themselves to the bone.

To achieve the best training results, simply working hard is not enough; you must push yourself to the limit and unleash your body's potential and talent.

"This is indeed a problem. Only with enough pressure can there be enough motivation. We need to increase the pressure on them." Jackie Chan deeply agrees with this issue.

The instructors always rack their brains to find ways to torture the trainees during various special training sessions.

It's not their sadistic fetish.

Rather, it's to unleash the potential of the trainees.

Jackie Chan has now become a special training instructor for the pilot reform. He has changed from a trainee to an instructor, so his perspective also needs to change. He needs to find ways to torment the trainees during the trial training.

"How about we use a points system? Once the points are deducted, we can replace them with someone else," Yuan Lang suggested.

"It's not very suitable."

Jackie Chan pursed his lips and shook his head, saying, "The veteran team members are all losing points, while the newly added team members are getting full marks. If this continues, the probability of newcomers being eliminated will decrease significantly, and all the veteran team members will be eliminated."

We are testing the feasibility of the special training program, which requires most people to participate in the entire training process in order to see the results.

If the veterans are trained for half the time, they will be eliminated later due to lack of points. If the newcomers are not trained at the beginning, they will definitely fall behind in the second half.

In this way, the old ones left, and the new ones weren't up to par, completely deviating from the purpose we wanted to achieve with this special operations training.

"What should we do then?"

After listening to Jackie Chan's analysis, Yuan Lang also felt that this wouldn't work and was at a loss for what to do.

"Don't worry, I've thought about that too," Jackie Chan said with a smile.

"You've considered this issue too? I mean, don't you have any issues you haven't considered? I really want to crack open your head and see what its structure is like."

Jackie Chan had a solution to every problem, leaving Yuan Lang completely exasperated.

"It's nothing, just a slightly higher IQ, it's something I was born with, there's nothing I can do about it."

Jackie Chan made a humorous gesture, then said seriously, "I've come up with a pretty good mechanism, I call it the 'three-in-the-front, three-out-of-the-back' mechanism."

"Three in the front and three in the back? What does that mean?"

Yuan Lang couldn't understand at all.

This is the umpteenth time Yuan Lang has been unable to understand the various strange words Jackie Chan utters since they began cooperating with Jackie Chan's special forces training reforms.

"It's actually quite easy to understand."

Jackie Chan explained in detail: "Every training session, each trainee is scored. A summary is done once a week, and the top three are put on the honor wall, while the bottom three are put on the shame wall. Every two weeks, the bottom performers are eliminated."

The person who enters the bottom three the most times within two weeks will be eliminated. If several people are tied for last place, then all members will vote to eliminate them by secret ballot.

Those who have been in the top three enjoy special privileges; their vote is equivalent to two votes.

Those with good grades have the privilege of being featured on the honor wall, while those with poor grades are eliminated. Under the dual stimulation of honor and pressure, the team members will definitely do their best to improve their training performance in order to stay.

Because after three months of training, at most 6 team members will be eliminated, leaving 9 veteran team members, which is still enough to form a standard CQB team.

After the special training, we will have a combat exercise with the other senior members of the squadron to test the effectiveness of my training plan.

This way, pressure can be applied to the team members without affecting the pilot reform.

Jackie Chan is actually quite looking forward to the final showdown, even though the pilot training is still in its infancy.

But just thinking about how the "new special forces" he personally trained and brought out with the most cutting-edge technology could utterly defeat the old A-team in combat is enough to make them run for their lives.

Jackie Chan was very excited!

It's a hundred times more exciting than personally taking down the old A team.

"You, you..."

Yuan Lang pointed at Jackie Chan with his finger and said with a laugh, "He looks like a big, dumb guy, but he's actually a cunning old fox with a lot of tricks up his sleeve."

If I had known this would happen, I should have made you an instructor back in the special training team.

"Without you constantly disrupting my plans, I can relax. I don't have to rack my brains every day trying to figure out how to torment you bunch of pumpkins; it's driving me crazy."

The better Jackie Chan performed, the happier Yuan Lang was.

He's becoming more and more relaxed around Jackie Chan.

This is a behavior that only occurs when one genuinely acknowledges the other person, treats them as a true friend, and completely lets down their guard.

"This can't be called a clever idea, this is wisdom, the crystallization of intelligence. There's no way around it, it's just that outstanding."

"Hahaha!"

Jackie Chan's formal and serious attempt to show off, combined with the words he uttered, created a strong contrast that made it all the more hilarious.

Yuan Lang was amused again and made a decision, saying, "Okay, then let's do it your way."

Tomorrow I'll have Qi Huan assemble the Third Squadron. You can choose whoever you want yourself; you don't need to report to me. Once you've chosen, write down a list and leave it there.

When I return from my business at the quartermaster's office, I will submit the list to the battalion commander.

After saying that, Yuan Lang raised his wrist to check the time, stood up, picked up his water glass, took a sip of water, and said, "That's all for now. I need to hurry up and prepare the things you need."

You'll be very busy next, but I'm busier now. Not only do I have to go to the quartermaster's office, but before I go, I also have to coordinate with the battalion commander.

It was no use for Yuan Lang to go to the quartermaster department first. The quartermaster department chief didn't dare to make a move when so many things needed to be purchased at once.

We definitely need to go to the brigade headquarters first and get the approval slip from the brigade leader, Railway.

Furthermore, the manpower and funding needed to build the killing house must be reported by the captain, and the sooner the better.

Because it still needs approval!

Ideally, we should be able to expedite the process and use a direct route!

"Are you going now? My training course is already scheduled, and training starts tomorrow. Don't you want to take a look?" Jackie Chan asked.

"I don't have time to watch. You can make the arrangements. You are the person in charge of the special training. You don't need to report these things to me."

After Yuan Lang finished speaking, he picked up his hat from the coat rack and said as he walked out, "I'm leaving. I might not be back tonight, so don't miss me too much."

"..."

Jackie Chan was speechless!

I got goosebumps all over my body and felt nauseous!

Yuan Lang's personality is so unpredictable that he always does strange things, making him really hard to figure out.

Seeing that Yuan Lang had left in a hurry, Jackie Chan didn't want to stay in the office alone.

After tidying up the documents on the table, I left and returned to my dormitory.

Tomorrow marks the start of the pilot reform training program. As the first lesson of the training, Jackie Chan cannot afford to be careless and must prepare thoroughly.

I recommend a book by a friend, "Special Years: The Silent Trajectory of Ballistics," by Yan Qiguan, a retired soldier. His military books are very rigorous, realistic yet exciting.

I recommend everyone check it out!
