On the 14th of October, Ouyang Shuo received the blueprints and a reply from his aunt, Lin Jing.
Ouyang Shuo threw the blueprints to Bai Nanpu in the next room and asked him to send them to Beihai County. Then, he told Beihai County to start the shipyard's upgrade immediately.
Ouyang Shuo returned to his office and opened the letter.
In the letter, his aunt stated that she had contacted the leader of the Rattlesnake Mercenary Group, Black Mamba. Black Mamba was very interested in his proposal and was willing to visit Shanhai County.
Ouyang Shuo nodded. As expected, no one could ignore Shanhai County now. He immediately wrote a letter to Black Mamba, inviting him to Shanhai County the next day to discuss the cooperation.
Since he still had time, Ouyang Shuo went to the military factory in the suburbs to retrieve a batch of military pellets to prepare for the upcoming battle on the Moon Island.
In order to increase the odds of success, the shipyard was following Ouyang Shuo's request to upgrade the 25 battleships of the North Sea Fleet by installing iron plates and collision rams.
The bigger secret weapon was the Fierce Fire Oil. Ouyang Shuo wanted to see how the pirates' wooden battleships would deal with the Fierce Fire Oil arrows.
The next day, Black Mamba arrived on time. Ouyang Shuo received the mercenary leader in the side hall of the Marquis' Mansion.
Following the Black Mamba were two other people. According to the Black Mamba's introduction, they were Viper and Cobra. Ouyang Shuo knew that the members of the Rattlesnake Mercenary Group were the absolute core members of the group.
On the Shanhai County side, only Ge Hongliang, the head of the military bureau, accompanied them.
"Marquis of Lian Province, why did you invite us here?" Black Mamba went straight to the point.
Ouyang Shuo knew that the other party had many doubts. If he didn't dispel their wariness, there would be no way to cooperate sincerely. He nodded and said, "I know that your mercenary group is an international mercenary group in reality. This invitation is for you to return to your old profession."
Black Mamba's eyes narrowed. His premonition had come true.
In fact, being a mercenary wasn't a shameful profession. Especially after the interstellar migration, there was nothing to hide. What Black Mamba was surprised about was how the other party knew his background.
Ouyang Shuo had made things clear because he did not want the two sides to be entangled in a dispute over their identities.
The Black Mamba Serpent was indeed an ambitious and ruthless person. After making things clear, he didn't try to conceal anything and frankly said, "Marquis Lian Province truly deserves his reputation. I'm really curious about what kind of cooperation we can carry out now."
"It's actually very simple." Ouyang Shuo explained, "I hope that your mercenary group can send a team of instructors to be stationed in Shanhai County. Help the military of Shanhai County train an elite special forces unit. How does that sound? "
Ouyang Shuo's idea was very simple. He wanted to transfer the concept of special operations from the modern army to the ancient cold weapon army. This was very difficult and a little whimsical. Non-professionals could not do it.
Rattlesnake was a famous international mercenary group, and it was the elite among the elite mercenaries. Its combat strength and combat methods were comparable to ordinary special forces.
The Black Mamba Snake was really stunned. He couldn't help but be shocked by Ouyang Shuo's wild imagination. This was the advantage of being an outsider. Ouyang Shuo didn't know anything, so he dared to think.
Of course, this was also closely related to Ouyang Shuo's precise understanding of the game. In Ouyang Shuo's mind, there was no such thing as a game. He interpreted the game as the real world.
Ouyang Shuo didn't think that there was anything wrong with transferring modern knowledge to the ancient setting. He was a pragmatist through and through.
The Black Mamba Snake and the others had a fixed mindset. They thought that a game was a game and should be separated from reality. The setting of the game was ancient society, so it should be played according to the ancient model.
Ouyang Shuo noticed that the eyes of the Viper, who was standing behind the Black Mamba Snake, lit up. He seemed to be excited by Ouyang Shuo's wild idea.
The members of the Rattlesnake Mercenary Group were all mercenaries. They didn't need special training in the game. Their way of thinking and action had subconsciously moved closer to the special operations unit. Perhaps they didn't even realize it, because this way of thinking had already seeped into their bones and became instinctive.
The topic proposed by Ouyang Shuo was undoubtedly a great challenge for these warmongers. They weren't afraid of challenges in their bones. Instead, they enjoyed challenges. The more difficult it was, the more fighting spirit they had.
As the leader of the Black Mamba Snake, the unstable factors in its bones were actually the most intense.
He was also the calmest. Although he couldn't wait to help Ouyang Shuo finish this interesting topic for free, his rationality reminded him to fight for the interests of the group.
The Black Mamba Snake tried hard to control his emotions and said calmly, "Marquis Lian's suggestion is interesting. I just don't know what you're willing to pay. "
Ouyang Shuo obviously knew what the Rattlesnake Snake Snake needed urgently. It was a reward they couldn't refuse.
"I'm willing to use the God's Crossbow as a reward. This amount." Ouyang Shuo extended five fingers.
"Fifty?" The Black Mamba Snake wasn't satisfied.
It was just as Ouyang Shuo had expected. As mercenaries, the God's Crossbow was the most suitable weapon among the cold weapons. Fifty was close to the Black Mamba Snake's expectation.
"No." Ouyang Shuo shook his head and said, "It's five hundred."
"Hiss ~ ~" Even with the Black Mamba Snake's calmness, he couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
Five hundred God's Crossbows could basically equip the Rattlesnake Mercenary Group. With the current market price, the total value wouldn't be less than eight thousand gold coins.
"Good!" The Black Mamba Snake slapped the table and said excitedly, "Marquis Lian is really generous. We'll accept this business. Don't worry, the Rattlesnake Mercenary Group will definitely send the best instructors to Shanhai County. "Ouyang Shuo's forthrightness completely convinced the Black Mamba Snake, making it approve of this cooperation from the bottom of its heart.
Ouyang Shuo nodded. This was exactly what he hoped for.
Next, the two parties discussed the details of the cooperation further.
The two parties agreed that the Rattlesnake Mercenary Group would send ten core members, including Viper and Cobra, to Shanhai County until a special force was trained for Shanhai County.
At noon, Ouyang Shuo hosted a banquet for the Black Mamba Snake and the other two at Sangu Restaurant.
At the banquet, the Black Mamba Snake couldn't help but sigh. He raised the Three Flower Wine in his cup and said with a smile, "As expected of the best county in the world. This has really opened my eyes."
Ouyang Shuo nodded and smiled without saying anything.
After the banquet, the Black Mamba Snake immediately returned to Jianye, while Viper and Cobra stayed behind.
To train a special forces unit, the first step was to select the best of the best. Without a doubt, the first one that came to Ouyang Shuo's mind was the Imperial Guards Brigade. All the soldiers of the Imperial Guards Brigade would participate in this selection.
At the same time, in order to prevent other troops from saying that he was biased. Ouyang Shuo stipulated that each of the five brigades of the First Division was allowed to recommend a platoon of soldiers to participate in the selection. The three city guard brigades of Shanhai County, Pool Water County and Youyi County could recommend 50 soldiers to participate in the selection.
Other than that, Ouyang Shuo also requested for the spies from the Military Intelligence Department to participate in the selection. One of the most important skills for a special force member was investigation. The Military Intelligence Department undoubtedly needed such professional training.
After understanding the situation, the three heads of the Military Intelligence Department applied to join the training. Ouyang Shuo's urging was still fresh in their minds. Now that they had the opportunity to receive professional intelligence investigation training, they definitely wouldn't want to miss it.
Considering that the recent intelligence work wasn't urgent, Ouyang Shuo agreed to their application.
At this point, the number of soldiers participating in the preliminary selection had reached more than 3,250. Ouyang Shuo didn't set a specific elimination quota. It was entirely based on the assessment of the instructor. Those who passed would stay and those who didn't would be eliminated.
After confirming the soldiers participating in the selection, the second step was to build a specialized training base.
The training base had to be built in the wilderness. Pool Water County was backed by a mountain forest, making it a more ideal choice. In the afternoon, Ouyang Shuo personally brought Python and Cobra to the southern suburbs of Pool Water County to choose a location.
Under the professional guidance of the two, they chose a mountain forest. The most special part of this mountain forest was that it had a pond. Not only was it good for water collection, but it was also good for the training.
Other than that, they would also choose a fixed training base in Beihai County.
Ouyang Shuo specially invited Sun Xiaoyue to draw up the blueprint of the training base under the guidance of Python and Cobra. Then, they handed it over to the Construction Division for construction.
The training base was very professional and required many specialized training facilities. Some of the modern facilities, such as high-pressure water cannons, couldn't be implemented under the current conditions. They could only look for alternatives.
The key to realizing Ouyang Shuo's vision was whether or not a qualified training base could be built. This required Python and the rest to use their professional expertise to modify the modern special training subjects so that they could meet the requirements of the training subjects and could be implemented under the current conditions.
Not only that, the construction of the training base also required the cooperation of various departments. Not only did it involve the Construction Division, but it also required the participation of the weapons workshop, carpentry workshop, and other departments.
Ouyang Shuo even specially invited Weapon Master Liu Mo to temporarily put down the research work of the No.7 Research Institute and focus on cooperating with Python and the rest to carry out the limited modernization of the training base.
In order to build the training base, Ouyang Shuo didn't hesitate to mobilize all the resources in the territory.
With Ouyang Shuo's strong support, Python and the rest were full of energy. At four o 'clock in the afternoon, the other eight members of Rattlesnake came as reinforcements. The instructors began to devote themselves to the preparation of the training plan.
The selection of soldiers and the construction of the training base would be carried out simultaneously. The soldiers recommended by the brigades would also need to go through an internal selection process. Before the construction of the training base, Python and the rest would go through a physical fitness test in the western suburbs of Shanhai County. It was also the first round of elimination.
