"Good! Since Zhiping trusts me so much, I won't let you down! "
In the tent of the Black Armored Army, Sun Zhiping stepped forward and took the lead in accepting the new drill. Although this was a pre-arranged "scene", Li Zexuan still clapped his hands excitedly and said, "From today onwards, all the soldiers of the Wu Battalion will start training according to the new drill. I will supervise and guide the whole process. I believe that in less than half a month, the results will be seen!"
"Yes, Sir!"
Sun Zhiping clasped his fist and said loudly.
Li Zexuan glanced at Sun Zhiping and Sun Tao and Zhang Kangnian and said, "Second and Third Battalions will train according to the previous method. After half a month, we will see the results of the Wu Battalion's training. Then you two can decide if you want to accept the new drill! Even though I won't force you on this matter, I still have to remind the two of you that the Black Armored Army has only been expanded for a short period of time. The training will affect the reputation of the Black Armored Army over the past decade. The war two months later will affect the survival of the Great Tang. I hope that the two of you won't mix your personal feelings with this matter and ruin the reputation and glory of the Black Armored Army over the past decade! "
Li Zexuan's words clearly had a hidden meaning. Sun Tao and Zhang Kangnian's expressions froze when they heard this, their faces filled with embarrassment. But at this time, they couldn't say anything, because this kind of matter would only make things worse.
Li Zexuan looked at Zhang Shigui and Lu Da. These two didn't belong to any specific faction and should be able to persuade them. He thought for a while and said, "General Zhang, Lieutenant Lu, what's your decision?"
In the tent, everyone's eyes focused on Zhang Shigui and Lu Da. After a moment of silence, Zhang Shigui clasped his fist and said, "I think the new drill is feasible. I'm willing to accept the new training method on behalf of the soldiers of the First Battalion!"
As one of the earliest generals of the Black Armored Troops, Zhang Shigui was still able to differentiate between the importance and importance of the situation. Although most of the soldiers in the A Battalion were veterans of the Black Armored Troops, they were all wearing the new plate armour and wielding vanadium steel horse lances. Different equipment would lead to different training methods and battle strategies. Zhang Shigui thought about it seriously and realized that if the Black Armored Troops wanted to quickly adapt to the new equipment, they would have to follow Li Zexuan's training methods!
That was why he stood out to support Li Zexuan!
"Good!"
Li Zexuan's spirit shook as he nodded approvingly.
Seeing that Zhang Shigui had expressed his stance, Lu Da also bowed to Li Zexuan and clasped his fist. "I'm willing to accept the new training method on behalf of the soldiers of the Fourth Battalion!"
Lu Da was considered a veteran of the Black Armored Army. However, the Fourth Battalion under him were almost all "new recruits" who had just joined the Black Armored Army. New recruits and new equipment. If they wanted to quickly develop their combat strength, they had to use the new training method. Of course, the most important thing was that Lu Da had always respected Zhang Shigui. Since Zhang Shigui had agreed to the new drill method compiled by Li Zexuan, then what was there to hesitate about? As long as it could help the soldiers of the Third Battalion increase their combat strength, there was nothing that Lu Da couldn't agree to. He wasn't loyal to Qiu Xinggong, nor was he loyal to Duan Zhixuan. He was only loyal to Li Er!
Seeing that Lu Da had also stood out to express his willingness to accept the new drill method, Li Zexuan couldn't help but be overjoyed. Before this, he had already prepared for the worst, which was that only Sun Zhiping stood out to support him. The other four strongly opposed the new drill method. But he didn't think that the final result would far exceed his expectations. Out of the five captains, three of them were actually willing to support him. How could he not be overjoyed?
"Good! I am indebted to the three of you for your trust! Since that's the case, then from today onwards, the soldiers of the Black Armored Army's First Battalion, Fourth Battalion and Fifth Battalion will all strictly implement the new drill method. Those who train diligently will be heavily rewarded. Those who slack off and cheat will be severely punished and will not be tolerated! "
Li Zexuan was energized. Looking at the crowd, he spoke with full vigor.
"As you wish!"
Zhang Shigui, Lu Da and Sun Zhiping clasped their fists and replied in unison.
"Good! Then everyone will follow your own plans and return to the barracks to arrange the training for the soldiers! "
Li Zexuan waved his hands and ordered them to leave. The main thing was that it was getting late and the soldiers should be training.
"Yes!"
The five of them each had their own thoughts as they clasped their fists and left.
…
Half an hour later, all the soldiers of the Black Armored Army gathered on the drill ground once again. A day of training had begun.
But today's training was a little different.
"All soldiers of the First Battalion, attention!"
"Turn to the left!"
"Run five laps around the drill ground. If you don't finish within half an hour, you will be punished with two extra laps!"
In the past, at this time, the soldiers of the Black Armored Army would start their training in formation. But today was different. Following Zhang Shigui's series of orders, all the soldiers of the First Battalion were stunned.
"Run five laps around the drill ground?"
"What's going on? Why do we have to run today? "
"But we are all wearing armor right now. How are we going to run? "
The Black Armored Army's drill ground took up a huge area. One lap was at least two miles long. Ten laps would be more than ten miles long. Logically speaking, ten miles of running wasn't a difficult task for the soldiers of the Black Armored Army. But they were all wearing heavy armor right now! How are we going to run?
Hence, the soldiers of the First Battalion looked at each other, not knowing what to do next!
"What are you all standing there for? Do you think it's too long? Everyone, record down. If you don't finish the five laps in half an hour, you will be punished with two extra laps. If you don't finish after two laps, you will not be allowed to eat lunch! "
Zhang Shigui's face was cold as he shouted loudly in the face of the soldiers' discussion.
"Yes!"
The soldiers were startled, and they hurriedly started to run.
The soldiers of the Black Armored Army weren't alone. After they got up and started running, the Fourth and Fifth Battalions followed closely behind. After the initial shock and disbelief, the 3,000 soldiers of the Black Armored Army began a vigorous and exhausting day under the morning sun!
"Eh? Isn't that Zhang Shigui? What's he doing with his men? "
Qiu Xinggong, who had just finished his breakfast and came to the drill ground to observe the training, saw the 3,000 soldiers running around the drill ground. He couldn't help but frown and ask curiously.
"Go and call Zhang Kangnian over!"
After thinking for a moment, Qiu Xinggong ordered his personal guard behind him.
It was a little unrealistic to ask someone to call Zhang Shigui over directly. Firstly, Zhang Shigui wasn't on his side. Secondly, Zhang Shigui's seniority and status in the Black Armored Army was not lower than his. If he sent someone to call Zhang Shigui over, Zhang Shigui would probably ignore him. Hence, he could only call his' little brother 'Zhang Kangnian!
"Yes, sir!"
The personal guard cupped his fists and left.
