Gao Yang was led into General Wolfgang’s office.
There was no suspense; it was certain that what General Wolfgang wanted to discuss with Gao Yang was related to the training of the Satan Mercenary Corps.
“Today is May 2, 2013.
You and your team can train here until July 29.
Any problems?”
Gao Yang immediately smiled and said, “No problems at all, thank you, General.”
General Wolfgang waved his hand and said, “Don’t thank me; it’s the same old rules.
While undergoing training, you will also serve as the opposing force.
Also, I heard you did something quite impressive in Syria?”
Gao Yang was slightly startled and asked, “What are you referring to?”
General Wolfgang shrugged and said, “You killed over three hundred people; that definitely counts as a major event.”
Gao Yang smiled and explained, “Oh, you mean that.
Actually, it wasn’t anything significant.
Those killed were mere cannon fodder who neither knew how to take cover nor were willing to retreat.
There’s nothing to be proud of.”
General Wolfgang looked unsatisfied and said, “Even if it were target practice, there aren’t many who could achieve this in such a short time.
Don’t be too modest.
Excessive modesty doesn’t always leave a good impression.
How about, sharing your experience with my men?”
It was not surprising that General Wolfgang knew what he had done in Syria; Cui Bo and the others had already bragged about it to Destin.
Gao Yang chuckled and replied, “Of course, no problem.”
General Wolfgang nodded and sighed, “That machine gunner, what a pity.
He’s Russian, uses Russian tactics and movements, which don’t really match ours, but he still needs to have an in-depth exchange with my men.
After all, there are certain things that are universally applicable.”
“Of course, that won’t be a problem.”
“Aside from you, I’m particularly interested in that mortar gunner.
I’ve heard he comes from unorthodox training, yet his gunmanship is quite exceptional.
He’s a newcomer I know nothing about.
There will be instructors assessing his skills.
We take mortar operations very seriously here.”
“No problem.”
Having received satisfactory responses, General Wolfgang nodded and said, “Those three are my main concerns; as for your team, I don’t know how formidable they’ve become, but I guess they’re not bad.
So, if there’s nothing else, your men will come tomorrow and can start training immediately.
However, I must remind you, there are things you should not discuss; don’t disappoint me.”
Gao Yang assuredly said, “Rest assured, General, we will watch our mouths.”
“Alright, you can leave now.
Someone will arrange a place for you to rest.”
“General, I have another question.”
“Speak.”
After hesitating for a moment and with some embarrassment, Gao Yang said, “It’s like this, General.
The students I once taught, the members of the Kicking Squad, seem to attract quite a bit of animosity.
I was wondering, we won’t encounter any unnecessary troubles, right?”
General Wolfgang smiled and said, “My men always know where to draw the line, and I will remind them not to go too far.
You know, it’s not good for a unit to be too isolated; it becomes stagnant.
Therefore, interaction is necessary.
I hope your guys can be the wasp that stings the horse’s ass, bringing some motivation and freshness to my men.”
After finishing, General Wolfgang spread his hands and added, “Surely, you won’t reject training that’s even more serious and rigorous?”
Gao Yang put on a strained face and said, “I won’t.”
“Then there’s no problem.”
“Yes, General, goodbye.”
Gao Yang had already anticipated that the following days would be tough.
With the Kicking Squad drawing ire, many were waiting for a chance to vent on him.
General Wolfgang had given the Kicking Squad an amulet but wasn’t willing to extend a similar protection to him, which was quite telling.
As he was being led out of the office building by the lieutenant, just as they stepped out, the lieutenant suddenly said, “Kick Ram, your training starts tomorrow, right?”
Gao Yang sighed inwardly; it seemed he wouldn’t have to wait long before meeting those eager to teach him a lesson.
Gao Yang thought the lieutenant would immediately challenge him or something, but instead, after uttering that single line, the lieutenant remained silent until they arrived at the dormitory area and the lieutenant handed Gao Yang over to another officer.
Finally, the lieutenant spoke again.
“This one here is Kick Ram!
He won’t start training until tomorrow, and the time is yet to be determined!”
The lieutenant enunciated the words “Kick Ram” very clearly.
The lieutenant officer prepared to receive Gao Yang was eager upon hearing the name “Kick Ram,” and his eyes immediately lit up.
“Hello, from now on, I’ll take care of your daily living and arrange your training schedule.
You can call me Lieutenant Frostan.”
After saluting Gao Yang, the lieutenant introduced himself and then reached out to shake hands with Gao Yang.
Among soldiers, a salute was usually enough, especially since they were not from the same unit, so shaking hands was a bit unorthodox.
Gao Yang returned the salute and then gripped Frostan’s hand, which, unsurprisingly, was too forceful.
“Hello, I’m Ram!”
While speaking, Gao Yang put all his strength into the handshake, feeling like his hand was about to be crushed.
But fortunately, he was also strong, and although not as strong as the lieutenant, he was not completely overpowered.
Looking at the expression on Frostan’s face, it was clear that he too wasn’t finding the handshake easy.
Lieutenant Frostan didn’t intend to intimidate Gao Yang with a handshake; it was just his way of showing that Gao Yang was unwelcome there.
Gradually, as they both relaxed their grips, Lieutenant Frostan said in a serious tone, “Here’s the thing: I have received orders to devise a training program for you, so, how about we take the opportunity to spar today while we have the time?”
The lieutenant who had brought Gao Yang said pensively, “Since he’s Kick Ram, he must be very good at legwork.
Yes, Mcann would be more than willing to help test that.”
Gao Yang promptly responded, “Let’s skip it for today.
I’m already exhausted and sleepy.
Before training begins, I would like to get some proper rest.”
Lieutenant Frostan smiled slightly and said, “Alright, then let it be tomorrow.
We’re not in a hurry; there’s plenty of time ahead.
Since I’m in charge of devising the training program, starting the tests tomorrow won’t matter.”
Resentment—Gao Yang felt a strong sense of resentment.
Gao Yang had made up his mind not to engage in any physical altercation until Li Jinfang arrived.
Without the element of surprise and not being able to just take hits without retaliating, sparring with a bunch of Special Forces fighting experts was just asking for trouble.
Gao Yang wasn’t afraid of pain, but once a fight got serious, there would be no holding back.
If he got injured, that would affect his training.
A broken arm or leg could ruin months of preparation, and that was something Gao Yang was not willing to risk.
Gao Yang knew his unique status meant no one would gang up on him for a beating.
If someone really wanted to vent their frustration, they would have to do so through the proper channels.
In such cases, he wasn’t too concerned—he’d just have to meet force with force if necessary.
With Li Jinfang, his top-notch fighter, by his side, he had nothing to fear.
One must recognize one’s own capabilities; openly engaging in hand-to-hand combat was not Gao’s style.
However, if someone wanted to challenge him in gunmanship, Gao would welcome that.
Once brought into the officers’ dormitory, Gao Yang took a bath and then lay down to sleep, exhausted.
These past few days he could only sleep sporadically, which left him utterly fatigued.
Gao Yang’s good times didn’t last long.
Until the official start of training, he was no more than a guest and beyond anyone’s control.
But once the training officially began, every person involved in his training would have authority over him.
So, early the next morning, after waiting for two vehicles to deliver all members of the Satan Mercenary Corps, Gao Yang’s ordeal began.
Gao Yang and four officers waited at the vehicle yard.
When two cars stopped, a person came down first, then handed a stack of folders to the officer in charge.
After confirming everything was correct and all member files of the Satan Mercenary Corps were available, a high-ranking officer, a major, took over the training mission for the Satan Mercenaries.
Once everyone was brought down from the vehicles and lined up, and their black hoods removed one by one, the major said in a deep voice, “Starting now, I will be the overall commander for all of you.
Specific training will be managed by appointed individuals.
Gentlemen, if you have any complaints about your instructors, you can report them to me, but I won’t likely take any actions.”
After the major finished his statement, he shook his head looking at Gao Yang and said sternly, “Fall in.”
After Gao Yang joined the lined-up formation, the member glanced at Destin’s carefully crafted training plan and progress, smiled faintly, and said, “You’ve just been through extreme training, so you’re in luck.
The next few days will be relatively easy for you.
Now, you will go to get your uniforms and have a physical examination.
Once the preparations are complete, your training will officially start at one o’clock in the afternoon.”
After the major finished, a lieutenant whispered something to him, causing the major’s expression to change as he looked at Gao Yang, “You’re Kick Ram?
Very well, excellent!”
After speaking, the major’s tone turned threatening as he said, “Change of plans, your primary task now is to undergo a combat skill assessment.
Kick Ram, you’re first.
Now, we go to the combat training room where I will personally test your fighting ability!”
The major was quite young, looking at most in his mid-thirties.
Achieving the rank of major at that age was already quite remarkable, especially within a Special Forces unit, which was extremely rare.
However, it was obvious, even to a blind man, that the major was seething with resentment and fury.
Gao Yang realized his situation was looking rather grim.
