In the middle of winter, it is in the inland sea, so naturally there is no possibility of war. There is no doubt that it is impossible for the current warships and various forces to conduct a naval battle in winter. So Lihui's concerns are obviously unnecessary.

As long as Mao Wenlong can let the soldiers train, a hundred steam engine warships will be completed and launched by the beginning of spring next year. At that time, these selected elite soldiers will be the first to eat crabs, the old order is being broken, and the new order is coming. What awaits these officers is a bright future, and as long as they can finally complete their training and be recognized by Mao Wenlong, they will be the new leaders in the navy.

The soldiers present still haven't understood this truth yet, but the three Lihui brothers have already smelled the Tao inside. Based on their understanding of Mao Wenlong, this time Mao Wenlong came for real, not on impulse.

The three of them all raised their hearts, a new naval team is about to be born, and whether they can become the best in the navy depends on the success or failure of this training camp, and whether they can successfully complete it.

The main purpose of this training camp is to teach the soldiers how to operate the steam engine warship, and there is no need to test their physical fitness. After all, they are all leaders in the navy, so there is no need to test this point again.

After asking about the fact that training can still be carried out at sea, Mao Wenlong explained the soldiers that day, and then discussed with the three Lihui brothers.

Mao Wenlong muttered: "At present, there is only one steam engine warship, and it is only a medium-sized warship. If you want to train on it, there will be only 500 people at a time. However, there are 20,000 soldiers in the intensive training, and if they are allowed to take turns on the ship, it is obviously not enough to have only one winter. ”

20,000 people trained, and only 500 people could board the ship at a time, so that the score was divided into 40 batches. Even if you train a batch of 500 people a day, it is not enough to take a round in a month, which is a huge problem.

Everyone in the room frowned and pondered, this problem must be solved, otherwise this training camp will only be a joke in the end.

Licheng suggested at this time: "Chief soldier, or we can directly cut off half of the people first, so that we can offset the lack of time." ”

Without waiting for Mao Wenlong to speak, Lihui shook his head and denied: "No one has tried it now, and we don't know who is more talented." If we arbitrarily retire people, it is very likely that we will bury real talents, and this method is not feasible. ”

Li Xuan immediately echoed: "What the eldest brother said is extremely true, or the second brother will set an example, is it good to be the first to quit the training camp?" ”

Licheng glared at Li Xuan viciously, his eyes full of warning. However, Li Xuan completely ignored it, and Li Cheng was helpless against him, after all, what he said just now was indeed a little inappropriate.

However, Mao Wenlong suddenly laughed at this time: "The sum of your ideas is actually a good way. ”

The three Lihui brothers were confused, not knowing what Mao Wenlong was saying.

Mao Wenlong proudly explained: "At present, there is one warship, but it is only temporary, and with the passage of time, the number of warships in the future will inevitably increase." We could have let the 20,000 soldiers board the ship hastily, and then select the more talented ones according to their performance. ”

"I see, the general soldier's meaning is to divide these 20,000 soldiers into different ranks. Only the best ones will have more opportunities to board the ship for training, and those who are further behind will have to wait for the steam engine warship behind to be built before training, right? Li Xuan said suddenly.

Mao Wenlong threw an appreciative look and said, "That's true, just let them divide them into a precedent order." ”

Obviously, there is still a big loophole in this approach, after all, such a point, those who already have some talent can get more training opportunities. And those who are inferior will have fewer opportunities to train, so the good ones will be better, and the bad ones will definitely be worse in the future.

When Mao Wenlong first thought of this method, he still felt that it was not fair. However, this is a world where the law of the jungle is the strongest, and fairness is built on strength. Only when you have enough strength is the time for you to talk to others about fairness, otherwise it's just a joke.

The three Lihui brothers don't have such concerns as Mao Wenlong, and the three of them agree with this method. The law of survival on the battlefield is like this, only if you can have a chance to leave the battlefield alive, and those who can't support the wall can only resign themselves to fate.

After the four of them negotiated, Mao Wenlong ordered Lihui to announce the plan to the sergeants who were about to participate in the training. Facts have proved that Mao Wenlong's previous concerns were superfluous, and those sergeants did not feel that there was anything inappropriate or unfair about this method of selection. On the contrary, they all felt that this was the fairest way to select.

After all, whoever goes up and down at that time depends on their true ability, everyone doesn't go through the back door and doesn't rely on relationships, just by strength, no one will be dissatisfied.

The next morning, the screening training began, and it was already frozen to the point of verbose on land, and when it came to the sea, the biting cold wind was like a knife, directly freezing into people's hearts. All the 500 sergeants who participated in the screening training were wearing leather battle armor, but their hands and feet were still numb from the cold.

Mao Wenlong himself put on the battle armor, and only then did he deeply experience the difficulties of the sergeants. I also realized that I couldn't do normal training anymore with such a dress. So, he gave an order to transfer 20,000 coats from the munitions warehouse, and let the soldiers directly wrap them in thick cotton coats for training.

In this way, the sergeants were warmer, but then another problem arose.

Lihui put on a thick coat, and his whole body was bloated and not stopped, and he couldn't walk normally, obviously he couldn't train like this, and he couldn't give full play to the original skills of the sergeants.

"Chief soldier, this may not work! Why don't we all change into thinner clothes and train again? Li Hui said, and tried to move his body, showing Mao Wenlong that the thick cotton clothes were too inconvenient, which seriously hindered the performance of the sergeants.

Mao Wenlong said indifferently: "There is no problem, anyway, everyone is wearing the same coat like this, and when the time comes, everyone is in such a situation, so there is no such thing as unfairness." ”

Listening to Mao Wenlong's explanation, the three of Lihui were relieved. Indeed, everyone dresses like this, and they train at the same height.
