399: Chapter 399 Black Dragon Special Forces

After Zhao Fusu finished testing the stability of the AK47, he patiently began to explain its usage to General Wang Jian.

"The principle of shooting is to align three points into one line."

"Once the target, the front sight, and the rear sight are aligned, you can fire!"

"It has quite a bit of recoil, so you must press the stock firmly against your shoulder."

"When firing, the muzzle must not jump; you need to try hard to keep it down, otherwise your shots will be inaccurate!"

Zhao Fusu explained the function of each part of the AK47 in detail.

"Old General Wang, this is the trigger, which controls firing; this is the magazine, which holds the bullets."

General Wang Jian listened attentively, nodding from time to time, his eyes filled with curiosity and focus.

After the explanation, Zhao Fusu handed the AK47 to General Wang Jian and said, "Old General Wang, you give it a try."

General Wang Jian took the gun and, following Zhao Fusu's instructions, pressed the stock of the AK47 against his shoulder.

After chambering a round, he aimed at the target using the three-point alignment method.

The principle of three-point alignment is the same as that of a bow and arrow, so General Wang Jian picked it up quickly.

As he pulled the trigger, a loud "bang" rang out, and the powerful recoil of the AK47 hit him instantly, causing General Wang Jian's body to jolt.

A flash of surprise crossed his eyes; this recoil was far beyond his imagination!

Fortunately, he had practiced martial arts for many years; otherwise, he would never have been able to handle such a strong recoil.

Seeing this, Zhao Fusu was also taken aback.

He hadn't expected that although Old General Wang was advanced in age, his physical fitness was so outstanding that he could quickly adapt to this powerful recoil and control the muzzle very steadily.

After adapting to the recoil, General Wang Jian began to try shooting.

Following the techniques taught by Zhao Fusu, he first tried single shots, and he could see the bullets flying accurately toward the target, hitting it steadily.

Then, he tried continuous fire; although the gun barrel kept jumping, he still held it firmly, and the bullets poured onto the target like raindrops.

After General Wang Jian finished a magazine of bullets, Zhao Fusu couldn't help but exclaim: "Old General Wang, you are truly vigorous in your old age! Your accuracy is quite good; you hit the target every time."

General Wang Jian put down the gun, a gratified smile appearing on his face as he said, "His Majesty the Head of State is too kind..."

"However, this novel weapon is truly extraordinary in power."

A look of hesitation appeared on General Wang Jian's face.

He looked at Zhao Fusu and said, "His Majesty the Head of State, this old man has a request, but I do not know if I should speak it."

"Does Old General Wang have some difficulty in speaking?" Zhao Fusu asked.

"Yes," General Wang Jian said. "This old man would like to boldly ask for one of these AK47s."

"After the New Year passes, it will be spring, and the First Emperor has invited this old man to go on a spring excursion together."

"There are many bandits on the road, and this old man would like to ask for an AK47 for self-defense."

Fearing that Zhao Fusu might not agree, he specifically added, "If we have this AK47, the First Emperor's safety could also be greatly improved!"

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Fusu agreed.

He warned, "Try your best not to let it fall into the hands of the common people, otherwise the consequences will be very serious."

"This old man understands," General Wang Jian said with a smile.

"Then I will leave the AK47 in your hands for safekeeping."

"Yes!"

General Wang Jian stroked the AK47 in his hands, unable to put it down, his face full of joy.

Zhao Fusu looked at General Wang Jian and said, "As for the bullets, I will have someone deliver them to your residence."

"Very good," General Wang Jian replied.

After saying goodbye to General Wang Jian, Zhao Fusu pondered that the production cost of the AK47 was higher than that of the revolver.

Given that the revolver had only recently been issued to the million-strong army, it was impossible for him to issue the AK47 to the entire army.

Therefore, Zhao Fusu thought of first issuing it to one unit.

Preferably a special forces unit.

Although Great Qin currently appeared to be peaceful and prosperous, in reality, it was not so.

Many bandits were entrenched in the mountains and forests, frequently attacking passing merchant caravans and surrounding villages.

This was also the reason why General Wang Jian asked Zhao Fusu for an AK47.

Zhao Fusu pondered, planning to select soldiers with strong physiques from the entire army to form a Special Forces Battalion.

As for the number of people, it was tentatively set at three thousand.

Using combat to train by clearing out bandits could win the favor of the common people, reduce the bandit threat, and achieve the goal of training troops—it could be said to be killing three birds with one stone.

As for casualties, Zhao Fusu did not need to worry.

The people in the Special Forces Battalion were elites selected from the million-strong army, and with such lethal weapons as the AK47 in their hands, it would be a dimension-reduction strike.

It was the bandits entrenched in the mountains who should be worried, not the Special Forces Battalion.

Zhao Fusu took out paper and pen and wrote down the training methods for the Special Forces Battalion.

Obstacle course running was a core training subject carefully designed by Zhao Fusu for the Special Forces Battalion; it was not only an extreme challenge to the members' physical fitness but also an all-around tempering of their willpower, adaptability, and teamwork spirit.

Starting with the initial low-crawl net, members needed to quickly pass through in a prone position, simulating dodging intense enemy fire on the battlefield.

Next were continuous high walls, ranging from two to three meters in height, requiring members to quickly climb over them by relying on their own jumping ability and climbing skills.

Following that was a single-log bridge dozens of meters long, simulating crossing obstacles in dangerous environments.

Zhao Fusu knew deeply that through such high-intensity obstacle course training, the physical fitness, endurance, agility, and adaptability of the Special Forces Battalion members could be greatly improved.

Afterward, Zhao Fusu began to develop the training methods in depth.

He divided them into four major categories.

1. Extreme Physical Tempering

Before dawn every day, the members of the Special Forces Battalion would be assembled to begin a cross-country run with heavy loads for dozens of miles. They would carry heavy equipment and shuttle through rugged mountains, muddy swamps, and steep canyons.

Zhao Fusu knew deeply that strong physical fitness was the foundation for executing all missions.

In addition to cross-country running, members also had to undergo training such as climbing sheer cliffs and swimming across rivers; these trainings not only tested their physical strength but also tempered their willpower.

2. Firearms Proficiency Training

Zhao Fusu equipped the Special Forces Battalion with the most advanced firearms, such as the AK47. Members not only had to master the operation, disassembly, and assembly of these firearms but also had to shoot accurately in various complex environments.

In simulated battlefield environments, they had to quickly identify targets and hit them accurately under harsh conditions such as darkness, heavy rain, and sandstorms.

At the same time, they also had to learn the characteristics of different firearms and quickly switch between them according to mission requirements, achieving unity between person and gun.

3. Wilderness Survival Tempering

The Special Forces Battalion had to undergo long-term survival training.

They had to learn to find water sources, identify edible plants and animals, and build simple shelters.

Without any outside support, they had to rely on their own wisdom and skills to survive.

At the same time, they also had to learn how to hide their tracks in the wilderness, avoid enemy tracking, and use the natural environment to conduct ambushes and counterattacks.

This kind of training not only cultivated the members' survival abilities but also made them familiar with various complex geographical environments, laying a solid foundation for future missions.

4. Psychological Stress Resistance Special Training

Zhao Fusu knew deeply that members of the Special Forces Battalion would face huge psychological pressure when executing missions, so he specially set up psychological stress resistance special training.

By simulating extremely dangerous and terrifying scenarios, such as enemy torture and the sacrifice of teammates, the members' psychological quality was tested.

Members had to remain calm in these scenarios, hold fast to their beliefs, and not be defeated by fear and despair.

At the same time, they also had to learn to cope with various emergencies and make correct judgments and actions quickly under pressure.

After such special training, the members' psychological endurance would be greatly improved, enabling them to remain calm in the face of any hardships and obstacles and complete their missions excellently.

After finalizing the training methods, Zhao Fusu asked General Wang Jian to summon the elites from the army.

General Wang Jian had just received the AK47 given by Zhao Fusu and was very happy in his heart. Therefore, he had no objections to Zhao Fusu's request.

Zhao Fusu also began to allocate funds, having people build living quarters and training grounds for the Special Forces Battalion.

At the same time, he also needed to give this special forces unit he had formed a designation and a totem.

This designation and totem could greatly increase the cohesion of the Special Forces Battalion.

After thinking for a long time, Zhao Fusu decided to use the Black Dragon as the totem for the Special Forces Battalion.

At the same time, he named this special forces unit the Black Dragon Special Forces Brigade!
