820: Chapter 811: Hell is Waiting for You 820: Chapter 811: Hell is Waiting for You After retiring from the military, Arthur’s main job was to be an instructor at the training camp.
Gao Yang’s compliment was well-received.
Glancing at the car behind him, Arthur chuckled and said, “This kid may look a bit delicate, but he’s got guts.
Alright, I’ll observe him first and then tailor a training plan for him.
However, if he can’t withstand my training, you can’t blame me.”
Gao Yang replied solemnly, “If he can’t satisfy you or endure your training, then let him get lost.
I can accept his lack of ability because what he doesn’t know, he can learn, and what he lacks, he can practice.
But if he can’t endure intense training, then he’s truly a wimp, and I don’t want a wimp.”
After reaching an agreement, Arthur smiled slightly and said, “Let’s go then, everyone is waiting for you.
These days, your men have been trained silly, maybe your arrival will make Destin take pity and give them a half-day rest.”
Gao Yang grimaced and said, “Buddy, I need to stay and train too.”
Looking at Gao Yang again, Arthur’s expression was odd as he said, “You’re staying to train?”
“Yes, because there are newcomers, we all need a period to familiarize and adjust.
So, no matter how long it takes, I need to stay and train for a while.”
After sniggering for a few moments, Arthur looked at Gao Yang differently, patted his shoulder, and said darkly, “Before, I wasn’t sure if you were here for training or to lead the team away.
Now that I know you’re here to train, very good, very, very good.
Let’s go, the training camp is eagerly waiting.”
Once he had settled into the passenger seat of Arthur’s car, Gao Yang casually mentioned, “I urgently need to find a good dentist, then we can talk about training.
But you can first tell me, what has everyone been practicing lately?”
Laughing as he started the car, Arthur said, “Right now, our training mainly focuses on fostering a rapport, without practicing any particular tactics.
However, Big Dog said that once you arrived, you could work together on helicopter airdrop combat simulations.
I hear you have a pilot now and even a helicopter on hand.
But most of our people are infantry and lack experience in helicopter insertions.”
Gao Yang nodded, “Indeed, we need to practice helicopter insertions.
Eileen is a pretty good helicopter pilot, and we can get a helicopter.
If we don’t practice, it would be a waste of these resources.”
Arthur shrugged and said, “Big Dog, being from the airborne troops, also wants you guys to practice parachuting, high-altitude parachuting, not just insertion or rappelling.”
Gao Yang took a sharp intake of breath and said, “Big Dog sure thinks big.
I’m a bit afraid of heights.
I can barely handle a helicopter insertion, but jumping from thousands of meters high, I’m not sure I have the guts.”
“No worries, as long as you don’t wet your pants just by getting on a rooftop, you don’t really have acrophobia.
High-altitude parachuting won’t be a problem, I assure you.”
Gao Yang said in surprise, “From your words, have you performed high-altitude parachuting?”
“Yes, I’ve done about one hundred and eighty high-altitude parachute jumps.
My highest was five thousand five hundred meters, and the lowest was one hundred twenty meters.
Buddy, high-altitude parachuting isn’t really a big deal.
What’s really life-threatening is performing a jump from ultra-low altitude and deploying the parachute at ultra-low altitude.”
Gao Yang smacked his lips and said, “Even if I wanted to undergo parachute training, it would have to be in America.
This place can’t possibly accommodate high-altitude jumps from fixed-wing aircraft, so I don’t need to rush.”
“Who told you it’s not possible here?
No problem, Destin has already applied to the air traffic control unit.
Lucky for you, you’ve been authorized to practice high-altitude jumps using a civilian aircraft.
As long as you dare, you can jump.”
Gao Yang replied with a wry smile, “Alright then, it looks like you’ve all prepared everything.
What else can I say except thank you.”
“You’re welcome.
We all want to see you make a fool of yourself.
If you get on the plane and don’t dare to jump, I’ve already reserved the task of kicking you out.
I’m really looking forward to it.”
Gao Yang said dismissively, “Don’t worry, if I have to parachute, it will definitely be me jumping out willingly, not being kicked out.”
“Don’t speak too soon.
Before they actually get up in the sky, every airborne guy says the same thing.
But once they’re up there, at least eight out of ten are kicked out by the instructors.
Buddy, I’m waiting to see whether you jump on your own or get kicked out by me.”
If you’re afraid of heights, it’s hard to say how you’d react once you’re up in the sky.
Some folks who are fearless on the ground might end up wetting their pants up in the air, so Gao Yang didn’t dare to make any guarantees.
Instead, he changed the subject and said, “Besides these, is there anything else?”
“Um, yes, the General summoned Toad to the base once, you know why.
But Toad’s legs have some issues, so, the General hopes that once you get there, you could visit the base because without comparison, they don’t know how well those new recruits have learned the despicable and shameless Lower Body Kick.
That’s the name, right?”
Gao Yang sheepishly said, “Is that necessary?”
“It’s necessary, very necessary.
There are some people who want to meet you and, um, spar with you.
I don’t know exactly who, but I do know that everyone at the base is talking about the Lower Body Kick.
Kick Ram is still considered the toughest, so, the General hopes you can spar specifically with some people.
Don’t worry, the General has assured there will be benefits for you.
But I must warn you, although I don’t know who you will be sparring with, since the General highly regards them, well…
you’d better be mentally prepared.
Hell is waiting for you.”
Listening to Arthur’s words, Gao Yang felt like he had boarded a pirate ship, but since he had come for training with the intent of improving, leveraging General Wolfgang’s base for joint training was too good an opportunity to miss, even if it meant getting thrashed.
Gao Yang wasn’t afraid that Destin or General Wolfgang would push them to the limits in training; his real fear was that they wouldn’t train them diligently.
The only hardship would be suffering for a few days.
As for the capabilities of Destin and his team, Gao Yang never doubted them.
First of all, he knew that these individuals were from Israel’s most elite Special Forces, already possessing formidable skills.
If it weren’t for Morgan’s help in connecting them, even with all his wealth, he couldn’t have entered Destin’s training camp.
Moreover, without strong connections, Destin wouldn’t impart the real tricks, let alone granting access to General Wolfgang’s base.
The Satan Mercenary Corps were now incredibly capable, but in terms of small-team cooperation, Gao Yang and his team still fell somewhat short of Destin and his colleagues.
During operations in Mexico, although it was Gao Yang and his team who eventually rescued Destin and Simon, the situation that Destin and his team faced was much more challenging than what Gao Yang and his team encountered.
To put it simply, Destin’s team was playing in ‘hell mode’, while Gao Yang’s was only challenging ‘hard mode’.
While there are similarities between the combat styles of regular military Special Forces and mercenaries, their roots are fundamentally different.
Military Special Forces operate with small, precise teams, focusing on specialization, which is what a national military force typically needs to address specific problems by deploying specialized units.
Mercenaries, however, cannot afford this luxury.
For mercenaries, any lucrative job must be taken.
If they have a small, well-rounded team, they can take on more tasks.
If like regular forces, they only specialized in certain tasks, the number of tasks they could undertake would be significantly fewer.
The current Satan Mercenary Corps can fight in urban settings, as well as in the wilderness, in jungle warfare, and even in the desert, because the corps includes specialists adapted to various terrains.
For instance, if now there was a need to fight in the jungles of South America, even if most aren’t familiar with jungle warfare, having Lucica lead would keep them from being completely in the dark.
Satan has preliminarily acquired the capability to fight in all terrains.
In some extremely unique environments like rainforests and cold regions, they naturally have shortcomings compared to teams specialized in those terrains.
However, they still have a significant edge since Satan’s Corps includes experts proficient in various terrains.
If these experts lead the others, not everyone might become an expert immediately, but major mistakes can surely be avoided.
Having an all-terrain combat-ready mercenary group is incredibly rare, or extremely so, to Gao Yang’s knowledge.
There are very few mercenary groups that dare to claim all-terrain combat capabilities.
Apart from knowing about the Angel Mercenary Corps, he hasn’t heard of any other small mercenary groups possessing this ability.
Gao Yang has his reasons for willingly coming to Destin’s training camp.
Apart from the fact that the instructors there are indeed among the best in the world, Destin’s experience also highly suits mercenaries.
Speaking of desert combat, globally, there’s simply no stronger force than Israel’s Special Forces.
In situations of being outnumbered and in chaotic environments surrounded by enemy forces with no allies, Israel’s troops also excel.
A powerful Special Forces unit isn’t just strong because of the soldiers’ basic skills but also their experience.
Combat strategies tailored to various scenarios are crucial parts.
If you’ve never fought such a war, you won’t know the proper way to fight it.
But if you haven’t experienced it firsthand yet learned about it, it’s a different story altogether.
When there’s someone willing to teach what can only be learned through battle, costing blood, one mustn’t miss the opportunity.
You must learn well and earnestly.
