In order to form a special force, other than the selection of soldiers and the construction of the training base, there was another topic that needed to be tackled, and that was the innovation of weapons and equipment.
They had to be equipped with backpacks, water bottles, ropes, military shoes, first aid kits, military shovels, and other auxiliary supplies, in addition to the Gold Sore Medicine, military rations pills, and military tents that Shanhai County already had. Other than armor, Tang Saber, God's Crossbow, and Green Beetle Horse, they also needed to develop military daggers.
Therefore, the formation of a special force was a comprehensive project. If it was successful, it would be a comprehensive upgrade for the Shanhai County army, officially embarking on the fast track of elite soldiers.
Ouyang Shuo's idea of elite soldiers had not been implemented. Due to the need of territorial defense, the number of territorial troops had been fluctuating around the danger line of one in ten. Under the guidance of Ouyang Shuo's idea of professionalizing the army, the increasing size of the army brought a huge financial burden.
At the same time, a large number of young laborers joining the army was detrimental to the territory's economic development. Ouyang Shuo's goal was to control the number of troops to one in fifteen, or even one in twenty.
Gaia's first year, October 20th, in the western suburbs of Shanhai County.
In four days, the Construction Division set up a temporary military camp in the western suburbs. 3,250 participating soldiers, together with the instructors, had already entered the military camp.
The instructors, with Viper and Cobra as the captains and vice-captains, would conduct the first round of elimination of the participating soldiers.
To select a special force soldier, physical fitness was the foundation. In modern military selection, physical fitness subjects included five-kilometer weight-bearing runs, parallel bars, 400-meter steeplechase, push-ups, and other contents.
These subjects were very unfamiliar to the soldiers.
Therefore, the instructors did not start the selection immediately, but carried out adaptive training instead. Using this opportunity, the instructors could also understand the physical fitness of the soldiers and formulate the elimination criteria that met the ancient requirements.
According to Ouyang Shuo's additional requirements, in addition to adaptive training, the instructors would also conduct more basic training, including formation training, emergency assembly, housekeeping, and other recruit training subjects.
In fact, the temporary military camp in the western suburbs bore the responsibility of a recruit camp.
Not only did Ouyang Shuo want to form a special force, but he also wanted to integrate modern military training methods into the Shanhai County army to improve their discipline and science.
Previously, Ouyang Shuo's military drill was the embodiment of this idea. Unfortunately, Ouyang Shuo was a layman and could not practice what he preached, so the effect was not good.
The arrival of the teaching team was an opportunity.
Even if the soldiers who participated in the recruit camp were eliminated in the end and did not make it to the special forces, they could still bring the training subjects they learned in the recruit camp back to their respective units and promote them to the entire army.
According to Ouyang Shuo's request, each brigade had to send at least one battalion commander and at least five platoon leaders to participate in the training. They would become the backbone of this training, and they would also be the backbone of the new recruits' training in the future and would be the backbone of the entire army.
Because the officers and soldiers participating in the training were the elites of the army, Ouyang Shuo and the instructors agreed to set the training time for the recruits to be one month. One month later, the first round of the Elimination Test would officially begin.
On the day that the new recruit camp was established, Ouyang Shuo personally came to the camp and strictly enforced discipline. He demanded that all the officers and soldiers strictly follow the instructions of the instructors and that no one was allowed to cause trouble. Otherwise, they would be punished according to military law.
After that, Ouyang Shuo focused his attention on preparing for the battle on Moon Island.
During this time, there was also a small incident.
Song Jia suddenly returned to the Marquis Mansion. She found Ouyang Shuo and said, "Wuyi, I want to recommend someone to you."
"Who is it? He actually invited our Sect Leader Song to come down the mountain in person. "Ouyang Shuo joked.
Song Jia hit him and said coquettishly, "Stupid blockhead, I helped you out of kindness, and you still teased me?"
"Okay, okay! Tell me, who is it? "Ouyang Shuo raised his hands in surrender.
"A few days ago, Tan Xiaoli and Meng Feifei came, and I accepted them into the Eastern Fence Sword Faction. After they settled down, they also brought their families to the territory. Guess what, Meng Feifei's father is called Meng Zhida. This person is not simple at all. In reality, he has always been a senior manager of the Jiaozhou Bank. When I heard that he should be a financial talent that you urgently need, I specially came down the mountain to tell you about it, "Song Jia explained.
As the Bank of the Four Seas grew stronger, Ouyang Shuo had always wanted to find a real talent to take over the Bank of the Four Seas. He wanted to end the current extensive operation of the Bank of the Four Seas and develop it in the direction of fine management.
There were financial experts in the expert group that settled in Shanhai County, but they were only engaged in theoretical research. Basically, they had no experience working in banks or other financial institutions.
The Song Family did have such a talent, but in order to avoid arousing suspicion, both Song Jia and Ouyang Shuo consciously avoided this topic. They had never thought of asking the Song Family for help.
This matter gradually became a sore point for Ouyang Shuo, and Song Jia was very clear about it. Therefore, after learning about the origin of Meng Feifei's father, she hurriedly went down the mountain.
Ouyang Shuo nodded with gratification and said with a smile, "Madam knows me best."
"Pfft! You're talking nonsense again. "Song Jia was a little helpless, but she couldn't conceal the happiness in her eyes. Undoubtedly, Song Jia was very happy to be able to help Ouyang Shuo.
After Song Jia returned to the sect, Ouyang Shuo found someone to invite Meng Zhida to the Marquis Mansion.
Meng Zhida was a little surprised by Ouyang Shuo's invitation. Although he knew that the Lord of Shanhai County was his daughter's junior high school classmate, he had never thought of finding a job there. He was prepared to retire in Shanhai County.
Ouyang Shuo received Meng Zhida in the side hall.
Meng Zhida was forty-five years old. He was in the prime of his life. Being an elite for a long time had formed his unique temperament and charisma. He was calm and passionate, and his character was firm and refined.
It was the first time they met, but Ouyang Shuo had a good impression of this all-powerful bank elite. He smiled and said, "Uncle Meng, are you used to living in Shanhai County? Please forgive me if I'm not a good host. "
Ouyang Shuo usually didn't put on airs in front of players. Moreover, Meng Zhida was Meng Feifei's father, so he could be considered his elder.
Meng Zhida looked at the young man in front of him and felt a little emotional.
This person was the same age as his daughter, but their achievements were like heaven and earth. At such a young age, without any background, he was able to stir up the storm in the game and become the overlord of a region. He was really a young hero. It was inevitable that a young man with such achievements would be arrogant. What was rare was that this person was not arrogant at all. He was humble and polite, which was really amazing.
Meng Zhida smiled and said, "Nephew, don't say that. It's all thanks to you guys taking care of Feifei."
The two of them started chatting. Other than talking about life, Ouyang Shuo would occasionally ask for Meng Zhida's opinion on some economic issues in the territory, especially the operation of the bank.
As they chatted, Ouyang Shuo realized that Meng Zhida was indeed not simple. He had his own unique views on economic issues, which often made Ouyang Shuo's eyes light up. He felt enlightened and benefited a lot.
Without hesitation, Ouyang Shuo made up his mind and said, "I would like to invite Uncle to take charge of the Bank of the Four Seas. I wonder if Uncle is willing to accept this position?"
Meng Zhida was shocked. He had a hunch that Ouyang Shuo wanted to recruit him to work in the government department. However, he never expected that Ouyang Shuo would entrust him with such an important task.
Although he had just arrived in Shanhai County, Meng Zhida already had some understanding of the Bank of the Four Seas in Shanhai County due to his professional habits. In addition, when they were chatting, Ouyang Shuo had intentionally or unintentionally revealed some information, which made him realize the importance of the Bank of the Four Seas in the system of Shanhai County.
Meng Zhida didn't know how to judge such an important task given to someone he had only met for the first time. It was hard to say whether it was willful, frivolous, or ambitious.
As far as Meng Zhida was concerned, being able to take charge of the Bank of the Four Seas was far better than retiring in Shanhai County. As an experienced banker, it was undoubtedly very interesting to be able to take charge of an ancient bank and inject modern management concepts into it.
Needless to say, taking charge of the Bank of the Four Seas would not only help improve the living conditions of his family in the game, but it would also be extremely beneficial to the final evaluation of his Achievement Points.
Meng Zhida took a deep look at Ouyang Shuo and calmly said, "I am indebted to nephew's appreciation, I dare not decline." Then he stood up and bowed to Ouyang Shuo, "This humble subject greets Marquis!"
This bow signified the difference between a ruler and a subject.
Ouyang Shuo panicked and quickly got up to avoid it. He said, "Uncle, why do you have to do this?"
Meng Zhida shook his head and said stubbornly, "Since I have already accepted the task, I am naturally a subordinate. The rules cannot be broken." He bowed again with a firm attitude.
Ouyang Shuo had no choice but to turn his body sideways and accept it.
Meng Zhida was the first player to hold an important position in the government system of Shanhai County. It was a landmark. Previously, the members of the team of experts had only served as consultants, which was completely different from Meng Zhida.
Of course, Meng Zhida knew what kind of impact it would have on other players if he was put in an important position. It was precisely because of this that he had to abide by the rules of a subject and protect Ouyang Shuo's authority as the Marquis of Lian Zhou.
If he used his status as an elder to break the rules of the government, he would definitely be ostracized by his colleagues and it would be difficult for him to integrate into the government of Shanhai County. As time passed, even if Ouyang Shuo was unwilling, he would have no choice but to remove him from his position.
Ouyang Shuo was also well aware that the current situation was no longer something that could be changed by his will.
While he was building the government system, he would also be bound by it. He would have to follow the rules of the government and wouldn't be able to do as he pleased.
All of this was originally hazy, but now, it was torn apart by Meng Zhida.
What Ouyang Shuo didn't know was that the manager of the Bank of the Four Seas that he had appointed today would bring the Bank of the Four Seas to a new height in the future. (To be continued.)
