Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

"Instructor Zhao, I have to say that the people you trained are indeed much stronger than those of Duan Peng and his group. They are even stronger than the special forces company of the Dongshan Military Region!" Zhang Dabiao sighed.

"I know Liangshan, but who is in charge of the special forces company of the Dongshan Military District?" Zhao Cheng asked curiously.

"Oh, I don't know that either. I just know it originated from a special agent squad in Shandong!"

"Let's not talk about him for now. Did Captain Zhang notice anything about our confrontation drill this time?" Zhao Cheng asked.

"What do you see?"

"Special forces are fundamentally different from ordinary field troops! The missions and combat situations of special forces are also completely different, so they must be trained using different methods!" said Zhao Cheng.

"But Instructor Zhao, you have to know that I spent a lot of effort to recruit these soldiers from various troops. Wouldn't it be a pity to eliminate them like this? The most important thing is that we have been training for such a long time and have spent a lot of resources. Don't you think it's a pity?" Zhang Dabiao asked.

"Comrade Captain, I think you are completely wrong. This group of students has already been trained. Even if they are eliminated, although there are confidentiality regulations, these training methods are no longer within the scope of restriction!" said Zhao Cheng.

"You mean, they can spread this training method after they go back? Or even let more people use this training method?" Zhang Dabiao asked.

"Of course, our army doesn't just need this group of people. My plan is that our brigade needs at least three hundred people to support the size of the brigade! In order to better perform the tasks, after all, they need to be on combat readiness duty!" Zhao Cheng was thinking about the content of the TV dramas he saw in later generations.

At that time, the special operations battalion usually consisted of three to four combat squadrons, and each squadron had to have at least 80 to 90 people to be effective. This did not include the logistics and support personnel!

"Do we need so many people? Is it worth it for us to train with such materials?" Zhang Dabiao exclaimed.

It's no wonder Zhang Dabiao screamed in surprise. After all, according to his previous understanding, the training funds for this batch were equivalent to the training costs of two regiments in the same period of time. Two regiments had more than 3,000 people, while they had less than 100 people!

And this was just the selection and training work during this period! How much funding would it cost? How much supplies? Zhang Dabiao had never imagined that Zhao Cheng's plan would actually involve the selection and training of over 300 people!

Doesn't this mean that the annual consumption of his special operations battalion is equivalent to that of an entire army? Is it worth it to use the supplies of an army to support such a 300-man combat unit?

Zhang Dabiao hesitated. It wasn't that he didn't want to be the captain, nor was it that he couldn't bear to part with the supplies. He was wondering if this 300-man force was really necessary. Could such a small force really be used by an entire army?

Zhao Cheng, of course, didn't know Zhang Dabiao's concerns, but continued, "The cost of maintaining this unit is definitely not as high as the cost of training and selection. Is it worth it?"

Zhao Cheng turned to look at Zhang Dabiao. "Captain Zhang, when do you think we'll need the army?

"That must be war!"

"So what causes the greatest casualties in war? Let's imagine we're at war with Country A. The two sides are now at war, and they've even reached our doorstep. We're not fully prepared. What should we do?"

"Since the war has already started, we must use small troops to hold on first, use blocking to delay the enemy's attack, and buy time for the large troops to gather, right? This is basically what we did when fighting the Japs!" Zhang Dabiao's face was full of disdain when he mentioned the Japs.

They suffered a lot from the sudden attacks of the Japanese at that time, but in the end they were able to defeat the Japanese and make them behave themselves!

"What if there is a force that can eliminate the enemy's headquarters and occupy or destroy the enemy's advance route in the shortest possible time? How much loss can we avoid?" Zhao Cheng asked.

"This..." Zhang Dabiao stopped talking. He could calculate how much trouble this would save.

"This is the role of special forces, to attack the enemy's headquarters, attack the enemy's logistics supply lines, and delay the enemy's attack! It is commonly known as decapitation! Attack the enemy and rescue them!" said Zhao Cheng.

"How cost-effective is it that a small force of three or four people can accomplish something? What are the funds and supplies needed to maintain such a force in normal times? Special forces means that even one person can play the role that a company or even a battalion can play! It's comparable to unconventional combat forces!" Zhao Cheng said, looking at the troops gathered in front of him and the other two.

"Comrades, many people who came back just now said that the two instructors were too mean, and they used all kinds of tricks on you! I want to say, don't you feel ashamed? You are all veterans who have participated in battles. Do enemies on the battlefield follow the rules with you? It's like two people fighting, will they listen to you and say no to kicking in the crotch or poking in the eyes? No way?" Zhao Cheng felt very satisfied when he saw the students lowering their heads in shame. As long as they still had a sense of shame, it would be fine.

"The special forces we have selected are not the ordinary field forces you know before, and our combat method is not face-to-face regular combat. Therefore, after you come here, you must change your mindset. Our training methods may make you feel uncomfortable and suffocated. But I hope you all can hold on! Persevere! And eventually become an excellent special forces soldier! Do you have confidence?" Zhao Cheng finally shouted loudly.

"Have confidence! Have confidence!" Everyone answered loudly with their necks stretched out!

"Okay, each team will take their troops back, take a break and have lunch, and continue training in the afternoon! Starting tomorrow, we will train according to our new training plan! I hope to see each of you at the end!" After Zhao Cheng finished speaking, he asked Long Chenggong and the other two to take the troops back.

"You changed it now?" Zhang Dabiao asked curiously.

"Captain Zhang, you are the chief officer of the special forces, but they are not yet. So, you just wait to receive the troops. I will definitely hand over the trained special forces to you!" Zhao Cheng interrupted Zhang Dabiao with a laugh. Although Zhang Dabiao was a colonel and Zhao Cheng was only a major, the training method still had to follow Zhao Cheng's.

"Well, okay, I look forward to your training results! But I still reserve my opinion! We must not waste precious funds and materials! After all, we are still too poor now." Zhang Dabiao patted Zhao Cheng on the shoulder and left.

What happened today dealt a heavy blow to Zhang Dabiao. He needed to do his job well and figure out the problems mentioned by Zhao Cheng as soon as possible.

Zhao Cheng looked at Zhang Dabiao who was walking away, his eyes full of relief. This man was a real soldier, a real fierce general, but it was a pity that he was not a good special forces commander!
