In mid-November, Lord delivered the guns and other supplies ordered by Zhao Zhenzhong to the dock at the southwest end of Nanyao Island.

"Zhao, the Mauser pistol you need is currently being produced and has not been delivered this time. However, it will be shipped from Germany in at most three months." Lord said after seeing Zhao Zhenzhong, "Also, Mauser is very interested in your improvement plan. Not only is this batch of goods cost-effective, but he also hopes to buy this design."

"Haha, Mr. Lord, thank you for your help and the support of Mauser Company. However, I keep my word. Since I told you last time that I gave you the rights to this design, it should be up to you to decide now." Zhao Zhenzhong first gave him a sweet spot, and then said: "However, I hope that Mauser Factory can provide us with a batch of equipment at a discounted price every year, and the supplier group will replace the training consumption."

"This should be fine. But, Zhao, how much equipment is needed every year?"

"There is now a 600 business group, and it will definitely increase with the expansion of Sihai Industry. Let's set aside 800 Mauser rifles and 120 improved Mauser pistols every year at a discounted price. If necessary, it will be added in the future." Zhao Zhenzhong proposed a number that can be accepted by the Germans but will not be too noticeable.

"Mr. Lord, although the Western powers now have an arms embargo agreement on China, you have your shares in Sihai Industry. I buy a certain amount of equipment and supplies from Germany to protect their own interests. I don't think anyone else can say anything. Then, why don't we take advantage of this opportunity to carry out small-batch equipment transactions? As far as I know, German rituals and foreign companies have been secretly conducting this transaction, but everything is done very secretly." Zhao Zhenzhong made another suggestion.

"Zhao, they have their own advantages." Lord sighed helplessly and shook his head and said, "They have their own ships traveling between Europe and Qingdao, and they can transport some unauthorized materials in a very concealed manner. Our Lulin does not have their own ships for transportation. If they are transported through other people's ship companies, nothing can be concealed and will cause unnecessary trouble. For example, this time there are only 400 Mauser rifles, which means that they will not be noticed by others. But if the number is large, there will be trouble. Especially those damn British, French, and Japanese, they are all staring at them."

After listening to Lord's explanation, Zhao Zhenzhong stopped secretly introducing large quantities of German armies through Lulin. However, it should not be a problem to introduce thousands of firearms and corresponding ammunition every year. However, Zhao Zhenzhong was not worried about the equipment needed for future early development. If the west side is not bright, the east side is bright, the Germans cannot do it, and there are Americans. Calculate the time, White should arrive next month.

In the following time, using the newly arrived Mauser rifle and scope and other equipment, Zhao Zhenzhong began to conduct sniper training on some candidates selected from the Rangers. Zhou Hao was also transferred to join the sniper training ranks.

There were about 120 people in the Rangers. After selection, except for the 45 people who were not suitable for snipers due to various factors such as personality, expertise, and cultural level, all 75 people, including Zhao Zhenzhong, participated in the sniper training. The remaining 45 people were adjusted to be responsible for the subsequent training of the trainees of the business group.

Zhao Zhenzhong made full preparations for this winter sniper training. Not only did everyone carry the essential materials for winter mountain training in their canvas backpack, but he also established a small supplementary base in the mountains.

Standing in this simple small base, Zhao Zhenzhong looked at the 74 people in front of him and said, "Let me first talk. The training we will conduct in the next 30 days is very difficult. Now I will give you a chance to choose whether to stay or exit. Those who exit will be adjusted to the guard team or the business group to be established; those who stay will die in the training even if they die in these 30 days of training! I cannot guarantee that everyone will be able to do anything after this training. The only thing I can guarantee is that those who complete this training can live better than others in this troubled times!"

"Okay, please leave the list if you choose to exit!"

After a while, the 74 people in front of Zhao Zhenzhong remained motionless.

"No one chooses to quit? Well, don't complain about the training in the future!" Zhao Zhenzhong named, "Jiang Yishan, tell me, why did you choose to stay?"

Jiang Yishan said quietly: "Sir, we are almost all people who have died once. Is it even more painful to train harder than starving to death or freezing to death? Although you are younger than most of us, you not only have more skills, but also teach us to read and read without reservation. We invite teachers to teach us culture. Now we want to teach us the ability to live better in this troubled times. Do we not even have the courage to suffer a little?"

"If you want to say that I am one or two years younger than most of you, don't call me a sir, just call me my name." Zhao Zhenzhong was a little unable to accept the title of sir for a while.

"Grandpa Li told us that the reason why we were taken here was mainly your idea and effort. It can be said that without your efforts, these more than a thousand orphans may have been gone now. Moreover, you not only tried to take in many orphans and rescue refugees, but also tried your best to start a school, teach us how to learn culture, and teach us all kinds of skills. Although many of us are older than you, it is not too much to call you "Mr." Jiang Yishan insisted stubbornly.

"I think it's easier for everyone to be brothers and get along better." Zhao Zhenzhong persuaded. But looking at the expressions of Jiang Yishan and others, thinking about his actual age is much older than them, Zhao Zhenzhong also felt helpless and obeyed everyone's meaning.

In the following month, the 75 people stayed in the mountains, training for disguise, concealment, trap production, long-distance sniping and other content. Some of them were taught by Zhao Zhenzhong before, but when it was winter where snow was covered in mountains, everything they learned must have new changes. At least the training of hiding the snow with white cloth is something that other seasons cannot be carried out.

In a month, only a little food stored in the supplementary base when entering the mountain was used as a supply, and the other food was solved by the team members themselves. During this period, various animals around were affected. Wild wolves, wild boars, foxes, rabbits, pheasants and other animals became excellent targets for the team members to train. They not only practiced a variety of subjects, but also provided a rich source of meat to supplement the team members' physical energy consumption.

After this period of hard work in the snow all over the mountains, 75 people were more or less injured. Many were frostbite caused by the severe wind and snow, and also bruises caused by various collisions and blows during training.

In a month, all of these people have undergone great changes except Zhao Zhenzhong. In addition to their spirit being tempered and improved like tempering, the biggest change is that more than 70 people are silent and much more restrained.

There is no way to remain silent. After 30 days, after being squeezed out from morning to night, every day, every day, when anyone is so tired that he moves like a dead pig and doesn't want to move, he will consciously save his strength to speak.

Unlike the people who get training and improvement, Zhao Zhenzhong also gained something. He won two nicknames, one is "King of Yan Zhao" and the other is "Shenxian Zhao". Although everyone treats Zhao Zhenzhong as a gentleman, they are all young people after all, and their minds are much simpler. Every day, they are trained to death, and after grinning, they often complain and mutter behind their backs. The nickname is born under this situation.

Every day before dawn, Zhao Zhenzhong got up from his sleep for various adaptive exercises. When the sky was brighter, he would routinely cross-border 5 kilometers of mountainous areas and specially picked up snow-covered places. In addition to the half-hour rest time after three meals a day, he would endlessly train various subjects such as physical fitness, fighting, assassination, shooting, disguise, concealment, crossing obstacles, crawling forward, sitting and practicing. He did not sleep well overnight, and was bombarded from his sleep every now and then for emergency gatherings. I don’t know how "King of Yan Zhao" came up with so many bad ideas.

However, Zhao Zhenzhong's performance also made all the trainees admire him. When they were training in winter, they took off the weight bag in order to avoid unnecessary damage in cold weather. However, Zhao Zhenzhong still carried 40 kilograms and then fully armed and conducted the same training with everyone. However, they were the first in every subject and had a second place in the second place. Armed with the cross-country team, when the team members ran back panting, Zhao Zhenzhong was already calm and restless.

The camp has been waiting for a long time; in shooting training, Zhao Zhenzhong even refers to hitting wherever he hits the gun; in fighting training, even when everyone takes turns to fight, they are not Zhao Zhenzhong's opponent... Faced with Zhao Zhenzhong's many outstanding skills, the team members were just impressed, but they were powerless like a mountain. Is this still a human? It is simply a magical method. In this way, the nickname of "Zhao Shenxian" was born after "Zhao Yanwang". Of course, in Zhou Hao's words, "Old Zhao is simply not a human."

In fact, during this period, Zhao Zhenzhong only asked everyone to conduct some high-intensity comprehensive basic training, and focused on strengthening basic subjects such as concealment, disguise, survival, and sniping in winter sniper tactics. However, considering that most of the team members are underage and still have insufficient physical strength, and lack of logistics and medical insurance, Zhao Zhenzhong did not conduct the overload, large exercise, and long-term training like later generations. But even this simplified version of winter special combat training has exhausted everyone from every day and died.

The 30 days of training have passed. Although it is not long, during this period, Zhao Zhenzhong has given these 74 people a new change. It has basically achieved the purpose of Zhao Zhenzhong's training this time.

When they returned to the cave, Li Laodao and others almost didn't recognize the 75 people. In addition to the one-month training that made the team members look particularly sloppy and ragged, and it was difficult for people to recognize them, the changes in everyone's spirit surprised Li Laodao even more. Except for Zhao Zhenzhong still not much changes, the 74 people seemed to have undergone tempering training, emitting an alternative brilliance, something that made ordinary people feel stressed quietly.
