Chapter 249 Special Forces

On October 14th, Ouyang Shuo received the blueprint and reply letter from his aunt Lin Jing.

Ouyang Shuo first threw the architectural drawings to Bai Nanpu in the next room, and asked him to transfer them to Beihai County, and told Beihai County to start the upgrade work of the shipyard immediately.

Back in the office, Ouyang Shuo opened the letter.

In the letter, my aunt stated that she had already connected with the head of the [Rattlesnake Mercenary Corps] Black Mamba, and that the other party was also very interested in his proposal and was willing to visit Shanhai County.

Ouyang Shuo nodded, as expected, the current Shanhai County can no longer be ignored by anyone. He immediately wrote a letter to Black Mamba, inviting him to Shanhai County tomorrow to discuss cooperation matters.

While there was still time, Ouyang Shuo went to the military factory in the outskirts to collect a batch of military ration pills to prepare for the upcoming Battle of Yue'er Island.

In order to increase the chances of winning, the shipyard is upgrading the twenty-five Mengchong battleships serving in the North Sea Fleet according to Ouyang Shuo's request, adding iron plates and iron rams.

The bigger secret weapon is fierce oil. Ouyang Shuo wanted to see how the pirate's wooden warship would deal with the arrows poured with fuel oil.

The next day, the Black Mamba went to the meeting on time, and Ouyang Shuo met the mercenary leader in the side hall of the Hou Mansion.

Along with the Black Mamba, there were two other people, introduced by the Black Mamba, namely Viper and Cobra. Ouyang Shuo knew that in [Rattlesnake Mercenary Corps], those named after poisonous snakes are the absolute core of the team.

In Shanhai County, only Ge Hongliang, the Director of Military Affairs, accompanied him.

"The Marquis of Lianzhou invited us here, what is the purpose?" the black mamba cut to the chase.

Ouyang Shuo knew that the other party had a lot of doubts, and he couldn't cooperate sincerely if he didn't get rid of their wariness. He nodded and said, "Don't talk dark words in front of Ming people. I know that your mercenary group is an international mercenary in reality. I hope you will return to your old ways.”

The black mamba's eyes froze, and his premonition came true.

In fact, mercenary is not a shady profession, especially after interstellar immigration, there is nothing to hide. What the black mamba was surprised about was how the other party knew his details.

Ouyang Shuo made it clear that he didn't want the two parties to get too entangled in their identities.

The black mamba is indeed a hero. After making it clear, he did not hide it artificially, and said frankly: "The Marquis of Lianzhou really deserves his reputation. Now I am really curious about what kind of cooperation we can carry out."

"It's actually very simple." Ouyang Shuo explained: "I hope that your mercenary group can send a teaching team to stay in Shanhai County. How about helping the military of Shanhai County to train an elite special operations force?"

Ouyang Shuo's idea is very simple, he wants to transplant the concept of special operations in the modern army to the ancient cold weapon army. It's difficult and a bit whimsical, beyond the reach of non-professionals.

As a well-known international mercenary, Rattlesnake is also the elite of the elite mercenaries. His combat strength and combat methods are comparable to those of ordinary special forces.

The black mamba was really stunned, he couldn't help being shocked by Ouyang Shuo's whimsy. This is the advantage of being a layman. Ouyang Shuo didn't understand anything, so he dared to think about it.

Of course, this is also closely related to Ouyang Shuo's precise understanding of the game. In Ouyang Shuo's concept, there is no rules and regulations of the game at all, it is completely interpreted as the real world.

Ouyang Shuo also didn't think there was any sense of disobedience in transplanting modern knowledge to the ancient background. He was a complete pragmatist.

The Black Mamba and the others have a mindset that a game is just a game and should be decoupled from reality. The background of the game is ancient society, so the game should be played according to the ancient mode.

Ouyang Shuo noticed that there was a light in the eyes of Viper standing behind the black mamba, as if he was excited by Ouyang Shuo's wild idea.

The members of [Rattlesnake Mercenary Corps] are all mercenaries. They don't need special training in the game. Their thinking mode and action mode are actually unconsciously moving closer to special operations. Perhaps they themselves are not aware of this, because this way of thinking has penetrated into their bones and become instinct.

The topic proposed by Ouyang Shuo is undoubtedly a great challenge to these militants. In their bones, they are not afraid of challenges, but enjoy challenges very much. The more difficult they are, the more fighting spirit they have.

As the group leader, the black mamba has the most intense instability in his bones.

He is also the calmest. Although he wished to help Ouyang Shuo complete this interesting project for free right now, his rationality reminded him to fight for the interests of the team.

The black mamba tried hard to control his emotions, and said calmly: "Lian Zhouhou's proposal is really interesting. I just don't know, what reward are you willing to pay?"

Of course Ouyang Shuo knew what the Rattlesnakes desperately needed, a reward they couldn't refuse.

"I'm willing to use the god arm crossbow as a reward, that's the amount." Ouyang Shuo stretched out five fingers.

"Fifty?" The black mamba was a little dissatisfied.

Indeed, as Ouyang Shuo expected, as mercenaries, the divine arm crossbow is the most suitable magic weapon among the cold weapons. Fifty, almost approaching the psychological expectations of the Black Mamba.

"No." Ouyang Shuo shook his head and said, "It's five hundred."

"Hiss~~" Even with the calmness of the black mamba, he couldn't help but gasped.

Five hundred god arm crossbows can basically be equipped with [Rattlesnake Mercenary Corps]. At the current market price, the total value will definitely not be less than 8000 gold coins, and there is still a price but no market.

"Okay!" The Black Mamba jumped up and said excitedly: "The Marquis of Lianzhou is really proud. We have accepted this business. Please rest assured that Rattlesnake will definitely send the best instructors to Shanhai County." Ouyang Shuo's boldness completely convinced the Black Mamba and made him approve of this cooperation from the bottom of his heart.

Ouyang Shuo nodded, it was exactly what he expected.

Next, the two sides conducted further discussions on the details of the cooperation.

The two parties agreed that Rattlesnake would send ten core members, including Viper and Cobra, to Shanhai County until a special operations force was trained for Shanhai County.

At noon, Ouyang Shuo hosted a banquet for the three Black Mambas at Sangu Restaurant.

At the banquet, the black mamba was not without emotion. He raised the Sanhua wine in his glass and said with a smile: "It is worthy of being the number one county in the world. It really opened my eyes."

Ouyang Shuo nodded, smiled without saying a word.

After the banquet, the black mamba returned to Jianye immediately, and the viper and cobra stayed behind.

To train a special operations force, the first step is to select soldiers, which must be selected from the best. Undoubtedly, the first thing Ouyang Shuo thought of was the Imperial Guard Brigade. All soldiers of the Guards Brigade will participate in this selection.

At the same time, in order to avoid being said by other troops that he is partial to the lord. Ouyang Shuo stipulated that each of the five brigades of the First Division is allowed to recommend soldiers from one squadron to participate in the selection. The three city guard brigades in Shanhai County, Yushui County, and Youyi County can recommend 50 soldiers to participate in the selection.

In addition, Ouyang Shuo also asked the secret agents of the Military Intelligence Department to participate in the selection. One of the most important skills of special operations personnel is reconnaissance, and the military intelligence department undoubtedly needs this kind of professional training.

After understanding the situation, the three giants of the Military Intelligence Department unanimously applied to join the ranks of trainees. Ouyang Shuo's encouragement from before is still vivid in his memory, now that they have the opportunity to receive professional intelligence investigation training, they certainly don't want to miss it.

Considering that the recent intelligence work is not urgent, Ouyang Shuo agreed to their application.

So far, more than 3,250 soldiers have participated in the preliminary selection. Ouyang Shuo didn't set a specific quota for elimination, it was completely based on the instructor's assessment, the qualified ones stayed, and the unqualified ones were eliminated.

After determining the soldiers to participate in the selection, the second step is to build a special training base.

The training base must be built in the wild, and Shuishui County, backed by mountains and forests, is an ideal choice. In the afternoon, Ouyang Shuo personally took Viper and Cobra to the southern suburb of Yushui County to choose a site.

Under the professional guidance of the two, a mountain forest was selected. The most special thing about this mountain forest is that it has a pond, which is not only conducive to water collection, but also conducive to the development of related training subjects.

In addition, a fixed sea training base will be selected in Beihai County.

Ouyang Shuo specially invited Sun Xiaoyue to draw the architectural drawings of the training base under the guidance of Viper and Cobra, and then handed it over to the Construction Department for construction.

The training base is very professional and needs to be equipped with many specialized training facilities. Some modern facilities, such as high-pressure water guns, cannot be realized under the existing conditions, and we can only find alternatives.

Whether a qualified training base can be built is the key to realizing Ouyang Shuo's vision. This requires Viper and the others to use their brains, give full play to their professional expertise, and transform the modern special training subjects so that they can meet the requirements of the training subjects and can be realized under the existing conditions.

Not only that, the construction of the training base also requires the cooperation of various departments. It not only involves the construction department, but also requires the participation of departments such as weapon workshops and carpentry workshops.

In fact, Ouyang Shuo specially invited weapon master Liu Mo to temporarily put aside his research work in the No. 7 Research Institute and concentrate on cooperating with Viper and the others to carry out limited modernization of the training base.

In order to build a training base, Ouyang Shuo spared no expense in mobilizing various resources in the territory.

Ouyang Shuo's full support made Viper and Cobra very motivated. At four o'clock in the afternoon, another eight members of the Rattlesnakes came to reinforce, and the teaching team began to devote themselves to the preparation of the training plan.

The selection of soldiers and the construction of training bases will be carried out simultaneously. The soldiers recommended by each brigade also need an internal selection process. Before the training base is completed, the Vipers will conduct a physical fitness test in the western suburbs of Shanhai County, which is also the first round of elimination.
