Chapter 180: The troops are just beginning to form, and they are in disarray
After entering the 'Iron Army', a special points assessment system will be adopted, with dedicated personnel responsible for statistics, which will be summarized every six months.
Only when the score reaches 90 points can you continue to stay in the "Iron Army". If the score is below 90, you will be directly sent back to the reserve, and then the best soldiers will be selected from the reserve as supplements.
In order to better stimulate reserve training and to gradually enhance the strength of the 'Iron Army', in the next five years, Lu Kai will add 50 'Iron Army' places every six months. These 50 places will only be selected from the reserve forces, and will be admitted on a merit basis after assessment until the number of Iron Army members reaches 1000.
There is only one situation in which the Iron Army will directly promote outstanding talents from the reserve forces during the non-assessment period, and that is to replenish personnel after the Iron Army has reduced its personnel.
Although Lu Kai hoped that this day would never come, the army had to fight, and his soldiers in particular had to carry out dangerous missions, so there was this exception.
Unlike the Iron Army's point system after its quota is reached, the reserve force always adopts a model where the most capable are promoted.
G1 conducts an assessment of the Iron Army reserve every six months. After the assessment, an internal competition is held. Those who pass the reserve assessment can challenge anyone in the reserve.
As long as you defeat the challenger, you can join the reserve team in place of the defeated person and get the opportunity to join the "Iron Army".
There is no restriction on military branch to participate in the reserve selection, anyone who wants to participate can do so.
Whether you are a handyman or a logistics soldier, or a warship maintenance soldier, carpenter, blacksmith, cook, tailor, military doctor, or intelligence soldier, it's all possible.
Lu Kai has only one goal, which is to form a super elite force and use this elite force to stimulate others to train harder.
Anyone who can enter the 'Iron Army', no matter if it is a cook or a military doctor, must have extremely strong personal abilities, because this 'Iron Army' will follow Lu Kai to carry out various high-risk tasks in the future.
However, the treatment of the "Iron Army" is obviously better than that of ordinary soldiers.
First of all, the 'Iron Army' was trained and led by Lu Kai himself.
In fact, whether it is the military pay they receive, the daily food, clothing, and other expenses, the training grounds they use, or the opportunities to gain merit and be promoted, they are not comparable to those of ordinary soldiers.
The only treatment that ordinary soldiers had in common with the 'Iron Army' soldiers was the death pension. Lu Kai and Fu Ya discussed this for a long time, but in the end they did not raise it for the 'Iron Army' soldiers. The deaths of ordinary soldiers were equally tragic, as they were also killed in action.
What if someone is jealous or dissatisfied? It is useless to be jealous or dissatisfied, because G1 is a place where you have to make a living based on your ability. If you don’t have the ability, you deserve it.
Those who are capable can drink wine and eat big chunks of meat, while those who are not capable can't even drink the soup. If everyone has this awareness, it will only stimulate more people to work harder.
Lu Kai would never allow anyone who had connections or did not pass the strict screening to enter the 'Iron Army', including himself, Xiaolong and Fu Ya, who also needed to participate in the selection.
Therefore, everyone who enters the "Iron Army" relies on their own strength. Don't accept it? All right, practice hard for me. Anyone who is strong enough will be given a chance.
However, if someone clearly has no ability and is unwilling to train hard, and just complains and curses, that's fine. But if someone deliberately stirs up trouble behind the scenes, Lu Kai will immediately kick this person out of G1.
Lu Kai's report caused a huge sensation among the top brass of the Navy Headquarters, and the Navy Admirals headed by Cyborg launched a heated discussion on the issue.
Because Lu Kai's training measures can be regarded as an unprecedented feat. In fact, this is what Lu Kai came up with based on the methods of the special forces in his previous life.
The navy also has special forces, as well as elite troops formed to carry out special missions, but none of them are as systematic as Lu Kai's "Iron Army".
After all, even in the five thousand years of history of the previous life, systematic "special forces" were only proposed and promoted for more than a hundred years.
In the history of the past, there have indeed been many armies similar to the "special forces", but such armies, because they rely too much on the personal ability and personal charm of the commander, are often completely ruined when a new commander is appointed.
Once Lu Kai's plan is implemented, it will stimulate all members of G1 to engage in healthy competition. After a few years, G1's power will reach a terrifying level.
The top leaders discussed it for a long time and finally unanimously approved Lu Kai's application. They also considered whether it was possible to promote it in other troops.
However, Lu Kai knew that although this report seemed very feasible, it was almost impossible to promote it on a full scale.
Such a strong man should not have come to G1 as a soldier, but he admired Lu Kai too much. He said that Lu Kai had saved his hometown. As long as he could join Lu Kai's team, he didn't care about his identity at all.
After hearing Latilos' description, Luke remembered the infamous Dark Pirates that he had conquered last year.
The island that the Dark Pirates occupied as their base was Farmani Island. Although the Dark Pirates did not exterminate the residents of Farmani Island, they enslaved them inhumanely, turning Farmani Island into a living hell.
Later, Luke single-handedly wiped out the Dark Pirates and saved the island.
Lu Kai was naturally overjoyed by the joining of Latilos, as such a master is hard to come by.
In addition to Latilos, who has the strength of a newly promoted vice admiral of the navy, there are four masters with the strength of rear admirals among the people who came, one from the North Sea and three from the Grand Line.
Apart from these masters, the others are not weak either. Among the 3000 people left behind by Lu Kai, the weakest has an attribute value of 200, and the average level is 453, which is very terrifying.
After all, except for a small number of Lu Kai's super fans who just came to see Lu Kai, most of the people who came to G1 are confident in their own abilities.
And among them are 7 devil fruit users, some of whom are very familiar with devil fruits, such as the Quick-Slash Fruit and the Wax-Wax Fruit.
The other five devil fruits were ones that Luke had never heard of before. They were the Sound Wave Fruit that could emit sound waves from its mouth, the Clone Fruit that could continuously create clones, the Animal-type Lizard Fruit·Chameleon Form, the Animal-type Bull-Bull Fruit·Rhino Form, and the Animal-type Insect Fruit·Bumblebee Form.
Luke also felt that the world was truly wonderful. The previous user of the Quick-Slash Fruit was the bandit leader Origi of Itachisia.
Origi was killed by Luke himself. Six years later, the Quick-Severing Fruit reappeared in the world, and its user actually became Luke's subordinate.
The user of the Wax-Wax Fruit was originally the devil fruit ability of Mr. 3, the vice-chairman of the Four Emperors Buggy. Unexpectedly, he has appeared here now. All of these devil fruit ability users have joined the 'Iron Army' without exception.
In addition to these people, there was another person who was recruited into the Iron Army by Lu Kai as an exception. He was one of them with the rank of major general, and was one of the 3000 people recruited by Lu Kai, so he was nicknamed '3001', and he was also the 501st member of the 'Iron Army'.
