158: Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-Seven: Resentment 158: Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-Seven: Resentment Arthur and Hill led Gao Yang and the others into a large locker room.
Gao Yang glanced around and noticed that the lockers were numbered up to three hundred.
Arthur pointed to a row of lockers and said, “According to the information I have, you are a Mercenary Group.
From now on, you’re a combat squad.
Locker number one is for the commander, and lockers two to five are for you to divide among yourselves.
Additionally, you have three bedrooms—commander gets one for himself, and the others can pair up freely.
Each shower time must not exceed five minutes.
Okay, you can start now.
You have fifteen minutes.”
Gao Yang and his team were in civilian clothes, but they all brought their tactical uniforms and combat boots.
As soon as Arthur and Hill finished speaking and left the locker room, Gao Yang and his team took quick showers and changed into their brought tactical uniforms.
They temporarily stored their changed clothes in the lockers to retrieve after a day of training.
However, Gao Yang and Cui Bo were both carrying their sniper rifles, which couldn’t be left in the locker room.
As for the other three, they had no special requirements for weapons and would just use those provided by the training camp.
Gao Yang’s modified M1A and Cui Bo’s TAC50 were kept in special rifle cases.
After the two carried their cases out of the locker room, Arthur, who had been waiting outside, said, “Follow me.”
When they entered a room with nothing but a table, Arthur stood on the other side of the table, put down the file folder he had been holding onto, and said, “Now tell me your names.
If you need confidentiality, give me the nicknames you’d like to register.
Real names will be omitted from the records.
Of course, you aren’t ordinary students here, so we will return all records to you when you leave.
Also, tell me your strengths and weaknesses, the roles you play in the team, the weapons you’re specialized in, and the areas where you hope to improve, starting with the commander.”
Gao Yang stepped forward and said, “My nickname is Ram.
My strength is rapid precision shooting, and my primary role is Marksman, but I can also serve as an assault gunner.
My current main weapon is a customized M1A, a Benelli M4 shotgun for a secondary weapon, and an M1911 pistol.
I want to improve in close-quarters combat and command abilities.”
After quickly taking notes, Arthur said, “Next.”
“Big Dog, specialized in machine gun shooting, serving as a machine gunner, using the current mainstream light, general purpose, and heavy machine guns.
No secondary weapon.
I hope to improve the rapport with my team.
I don’t know what else needs improvement, but I hope you can help me find out.”
“Toad, an assault gunner, strength is close combat, my weakness is I am only familiar with the Huaxia-made Type 95 5.8mm caliber assault rifle, Type 81 7.62mm rifle, and also with M4 and AK series of rifles.
Secondary weapon is an M9.
I wish to become proficient with all light weapons in the world.”
“Rabbit, currently no specific position, hoping to use the TAC50 large-caliber sniper rifle as my main weapon, currently using a Sig P226 as a secondary.
My strengths include knowledge all snipers should have and if physical fitness counts, then mine is very good.
I hope to become a sniper, but for now, I can only accurately shoot fixed targets within 300 meters.
I also want to learn how to use mines and bombs.”
“Little…
Little Fly, no particular strengths, only able to use the MP5 submachine gun and M9 pistol, currently serving as Big Dog’s machine gun assistant gunner.
I am not sure which skills I need to improve upon specifically.
Boss, no, my superior officer, whatever area you need me to improve in, I will focus on learning that skill.”
After Frey spoke, Gao Yang immediately said, “Sir, I request to add something.”
Arthur nodded, “Proceed.”
Gao Yang pointed at Frey and said, “His grenade throwing is very accurate.
I think that counts as his strength.”
Arthur glanced at Frey and noted what Gao Yang said on his behalf, then said solemnly, “I think that having a dedicated assistant gunner in a small team of only five people is a bit of a waste, you lack heavy firepower, which is a serious shortcoming.
I suggest Little Fly could try to become a dedicated heavy firepower, so your team will have full squad functionality.”
Without hesitation, Gao Yang said, “Sir, that’s what we’re planning to do.
Please proceed as you suggest.”
Arthur nodded, snapped the folder shut, and said loudly, “This is just a preliminary understanding of you.
I still need to see you in action before I can fully grasp your abilities, so we will conduct a series of tests.
The tests will begin immediately after Ram’s competition with Simon.”
After Arthur finished, Gao Yang wasn’t quite sure how to respond, but thought for a moment before asking, “Sir, should we salute you or not?”
“We’re not the military, and there’s no need for salutes.
If you have any questions or requests, feel free to approach me.
Any other questions?”
Gao Yang responded loudly, “No, sir.”
Arthur nodded and said, “Good.
I need to add one thing, Ram.
Simon is my comrade-in-arms, as well as my good friend.
But now you are my student, so I hope you can defeat Simon, preferably trounce him thoroughly and stomp on his dignity, so I can proudly claim my student beat him and prevent him from ever mentioning the word ‘shotgun’ in front of us again.
If you win, you won’t receive any reward from me.
But if you lose, I will give you a punishment for failures.
That’s it, head out.”
Gao Yang hastened to say, “Excuse me, sir.
May I ask why?
Is this a personal feud between you two?”
Arthur looked at Gao Yang, gave him a pat on the shoulder, and said, “No, this isn’t a private matter; it’s a matter of public outrage.
Simon’s shotgun skills are indeed very good, so the guy likes to bet with everyone.
He won my most precious thing, which was supposed to be me asking a certain beautiful female soldier out, but instead, that bastard Simon dated her.
Although she’s now my wife, it still bothers me when I think about it.
So, Ram, you must beat him.
Let’s see what you’ve got.”
“Well, could you tell me what he’s good at?
That would give me a better chance,” Gao Yang said with a chuckle.
“Although I really want to teach that guy a lesson, and we all want to see Simon’s frustrated face, I can’t betray a comrade, so you can’t get any hints from me.
I can only wish you good luck, Ram.”
Hill also stepped forward, patted Gao Yang’s shoulder with a serious face and said, “If you win, I’ll pay out of my own pocket for a feast for all of you, but if you lose, believe me, you’ll suffer.
Good luck.”
Gao Yang shrugged and said, “Alright, I’ll give it my all, now I just hope that Simon doesn’t take the opportunity to make a bet with me.”
Following Arthur and Hill, a group of people returned to Destin’s office.
Simon had somehow already changed into the green uniform of the Israeli National Defense Forces.
Seeing Gao Yang, Simon smiled and said, “Gao, what gun will you use?
What will you shoot?
How will you shoot?
It’s your choice, I’ll use the same as you.”
After thinking for a while, Gao Yang said in a deep voice, “I want to use a double-barreled shotgun, model and caliber don’t matter, um, let’s shoot multi-directional clay pigeons.”
Simon’s smile disappeared, and he frowned and said, “Double-barreled shotgun?
Multi-directional clay pigeons?
Smart choice, how did you know that this is the shotgun category I am least skilled in?”
Gao Yang shrugged and said, “I don’t know whether you’re good with double-barreled shotguns or not; it’s just that’s what I’m best at.
And by the way, I practiced multi-directional clay pigeon shooting for three years.”
Simon frowned and said, “Alright, one event will be double-barreled shotgun clay pigeon shooting, but just one event isn’t enough.
How about this: you’re currently using a Benelli M4, so let’s add another contest with the Benelli M4.
You choose the event.”
Gao Yang nodded and said, “Sure, clay pigeon shooting again, but let’s shoot successive clay pigeons.”
Simon took a deep breath with a constipated look on his face and said, “Can’t you choose something other than clay pigeons?”
Gao Yang said with an innocent face, “I could, but if I lose to you, it’s going to be bad for me, so of course I’ll choose what I’m best at.”
When Arthur heard Gao Yang mention that he had practiced multi-directional clay pigeon shooting for three years, his eyes lit up.
After Gao Yang chose two events involving clay pigeons, Arthur immediately said, “Simon, make a bet, what are you wagering on this time?”
Destin was nodding repeatedly and said, “Bet, you must make a bet, Simon, I’ve lost 1,600 shekels to you before, now I bet 16,000 shekels that you lose.”
Hill rubbed his chin fiercely and said viciously, “Simon, I bet you lose, if you win, I’ll streak around Disen Goff Square in front of you; if you lose, you’ll streak around Disen Goff Square in front of us.”
Everyone gasped, and Simon said in surprise, “I really didn’t expect you to hold such a grudge against me.
Is it necessary?”
Hill said viciously, “Back then, you made me streak in the military camp, and I ended up in solitary confinement for two days.
The worst was that my vacation got canceled.
Only by making you streak in Disen Goff Square can I alleviate some of my bitterness.”
Arthur also raised his fist and said, “Good, Hill, well done, I’ll bet with Simon too.
Whoever loses has to write their own name on their body, along with their phone number and home address, and then streak.
That’s the way to do it!”
Simon hesitated for a moment, and Destin immediately said, “Simon, don’t say you’re afraid.”
Simon shrugged his shoulders and said, “As far as I’m aware, there’s no trap machine here, so although I don’t want to, it looks like we really do have to change the event.”
Destin immediately said, “I’ll go buy one right now, there’s a shooting club very close by, I’ll get it!”
Hill instantly reached out to Arthur and said, “I didn’t drive here, give me your car keys, I’ll go buy it right now.”
Destin excitedly said, “You have twenty minutes, I’ll call the others, hurry, hurry!”
Simon stopped Hill, who was about to run out, and said, “Add a simulated combat shooting at human targets, one minute time limit, whoever knocks down more targets wins.
Three events, best two out of three.
Gao proposed two events, I must add one to be fair.”
Hill couldn’t help but look at Destin and Arthur, and then the three of them said in unison, “Let’s go for it, otherwise we’ll never get the chance!”
