407: Chapter 407 The First Emperor's Unreasonable Request

Zhao Fusu led the First Emperor and General Wang Jian to an open training ground, preparing to let them witness the power of Hand Grenades and the type 92 heavy machine gun.

The drill began. A special forces member skillfully picked up a Hand Grenade, pulled the pin, and threw it with all his might.

The grenade traced an arc through the air, then exploded with a roar at the designated spot.

"Boom!"

A massive explosion, deafening like thunder, sent a powerful shockwave radiating frantically from the blast center.

In the instant of the explosion, flames shot into the sky. The searing heat distorted the surrounding air, and the immense impact blasted a deep crater into the ground, sending earth and stone flying high into the air like falling rain.

Immediately after, the type 92 heavy machine gun began to show its might.

The gunner and the loader worked in coordination.

The gunner pulled the trigger, and the heavy machine gun roared like an angry beast.

"Da da da..."

A dense hail of bullets sprayed out like a torrential storm, carrying a momentum that could destroy everything.

Under this fierce firepower, the targets ahead were instantly riddled with holes, wood chips flying everywhere.

The once sturdy targets became precarious within seconds and finally collapsed with a crash.

Standing to the side, the First Emperor witnessed this scene, his eyes filled with shock.

General Wang Jian was also stunned speechless by the scene before him. He had always believed the AK47 was a rare and sharp weapon in the world, its powerful lethality leaving a deep impression on him.

However, the destructive power displayed by the Hand Grenades and the type 92 heavy machine gun at this moment completely shattered his perception.

He looked at Zhao Fusu and asked, "Are all these weapons to be equipped for the Special Forces Battalion?"

"Yes."

Zhao Fusu nodded and replied, "If the equipment isn't good, how would we dare to carry out decapitation strikes!"

"Mhm."

The First Emperor and General Wang Jian both nodded upon hearing this.

Zhao Fusu looked at the two and couldn't help but ask, "General General Wang Jian and Imperial Father, why did you end your tour so quickly?"

In his understanding, every time the First Emperor went on a tour, he would surely visit several commanderies, and a single tour would last at least half a year.

But now, only half a month had passed; why had they suddenly returned and ended the tour?

This was truly too unusual, leaving Zhao Fusu full of suspicion.

General Wang Jian's expression looked slightly helpless. After a sigh, he slowly said, "We hadn't even left Xianyang yet when we encountered highwaymen in Lanchi."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Fusu's expression instantly became solemn. He knew well that Xianyang, as the capital of the Great Qin Empire, was at the foot of the Son of Heaven and should have been the place with the best security.

Yet, for highway robbery to occur right under the Emperor's nose showed that the bandit problem in the Great Qin Empire was far more serious than he had imagined.

He thought to himself: if Xianyang was like this, wouldn't the banditry be even more rampant in those remote areas where 'the mountains are high and the Emperor is far away'?

This was undoubtedly a massive hidden danger to the rule of the Great Qin Empire!

General Wang Jian continued, "The First Emperor heard that you formed the Black Dragon Special Forces Brigade and intended to handle our Great Qin's bandit problem, so he hurried back to take a look."

Zhao Fusu understood and couldn't help but nod.

He had long had the idea of sustaining war through war, using actual combat to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Black Dragon Special Forces Brigade, and those bandits who ruled the mountains were undoubtedly excellent combat targets.

The bandits were entrenched in the mountains and forests, familiar with the terrain, and often committed arson, murder, and robbery. Fighting them would both train the members' combat skills and rid the people of a scourge, solving Great Qin's bandit problem—killing two birds with one stone!

"Fusu, this bandit problem concerns the state of our Great Qin. You must strike down their arrogant spirit!"

The First Emperor said.

Zhao Fusu replied, "Please rest assured, Imperial Father. The Black Dragon Special Forces Brigade will certainly not disappoint your expectations. I have already formulated a detailed plan to start with the bandits around Xianyang and gradually clear out the bandit forces within Great Qin. This will allow the people to live and work in peace and make Great Qin's rule more stable."

The First Emperor nodded slightly, a hint of relief and expectation flashing in his eyes.

General Wang Jian also showed a look of admiration. He believed that with Zhao Fusu's ability and the strength of the Black Dragon Special Forces Brigade, they could definitely solve this thorny problem for Great Qin.

"I have a presumptuous request,"

the First Emperor said with a smile.

"Oh?"

Zhao Fusu asked curiously, "What is it?"
