Chapter 184 The Devil's Week is Over, Back on Track
If it weren't for the medicinal food for lunch and dinner and the menu for improving physical fitness that Lu Kai got from the Shemale Island, which restored a lot of physical strength to all the soldiers and stimulated their potential, I'm afraid not many people would have been able to hold on on the first day.
But after only sleeping for less than three hours, everyone was called up at six o'clock the next day to start a new day of training. From the second day on, everyone's training was directly increased to 20 hours.
After three days, half of the people couldn't take it anymore and some even had mental breakdowns. After seven days, two-thirds of the people couldn't take it anymore and some even hid in their beds and cried after the training.
During this process, more than one person had the idea of quitting the 'Iron Army' because it was too painful. Those who failed to meet the training standards would be punished by additional training, making many people even more miserable.
Lu Kai also kept telling everyone that they could quit at any time and that it was not too late to leave. In the process, he beat and scolded the soldiers, making everyone doubt their lives.
What happened to Lieutenant General Lu Kai, who was said to be gentle? What happened to his promise to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers?
Under the intense physical and mental torture, many people were numb, but I don’t know if it was the words Lu Kai said to everyone before the training that worked, or if it was the effect of the medicinal food and recipes that made everyone feel the progress, or if these people were really mentally determined.
After seven days, not a single person quit.
Although Lu Kai could clearly feel that most people were about to collapse, they all managed to hold on, which was beyond Lu Kai's expectations.
Lu Kai even thought that one-third of the people might withdraw and be sent back to the reserve for retraining, but he didn't expect that there was not a single one.
The worst sufferers were not the soldiers, but the captains and squad leaders.
In order to make the team leaders more aware of the duties they need to perform and the responsibilities they need to bear, they will be taken away for individual training after training every day, and each training session will last for an hour.
After the captain has completed the training, he will immediately call together the team leaders under his command and give them training, which also takes one hour.
That is to say, the team leader sleeps at least two hours less than everyone else every day, and the team leader sleeps one hour less than everyone else.
Sleeping two hours less during such high-intensity training can drive people crazy.
But what no one expected was that all the captains and team leaders held on, and no one complained at all, which made many people admire the captains and team leaders.
The reason why the others did not leave was largely due to the leadership played by the team leader and the team leaders. The fact that the team leader and the team leaders all held on and had no complaints was also due to the content of the training.
After all, the duties that need to be performed and the responsibilities that need to be assumed can be covered in one training session. It was mainly Lu Kai who provided the team leader with a shocking ideological education.
Then, after these team leaders return, they will provide ideological education to the team leaders, constantly encourage them, make them understand their mission, and build up faith in their hearts.
Of course, it is also done for everyone to see, to let everyone know that the position of team leader and squad leader is not just a right. What they need to bear, fulfill and pay are far beyond what others can compare to.
The effect is very good. At least for ordinary soldiers, after such hard training, no one would be willing to be deprived of two hours of rest.
After seven days of training, Lu Kai gathered everyone together again. Looking at the 500 people standing below, Lu Kai felt very pleased.
In fact, Lu Kai did not want to torture the soldiers like this, mainly because this was the first batch of "Iron Army" soldiers formed too hastily.
There may be no problem in other aspects, but their willpower and spirit are indeed not satisfactory, so Lu Kai and Fu Ya specially designed a seven-day devil week training, in order to hone their will with training volume and mental torture far beyond what the soldiers can bear.
Of course, it is also for screening purposes.
During this process, if someone couldn't stand it and wanted to leave, Lu Kai would feel happy instead and would let the other person leave in a generous manner without making things difficult for them. However, the result made Lu Kai even happier because everyone actually persisted.
However, seeing that many soldiers had numb expressions, and even a hint of confusion and decadence, Lu Kai couldn't help but want to laugh.
Then Lu Kai said loudly: "First of all, I have good news for everyone. The seven-day Devil Week training has officially ended today. Such high-intensity training is not a regular training. It will only happen once a year in the future."
As soon as Lu Kai finished speaking, the eyes of those numb, decadent and confused people suddenly lit up, and then many of them shed tears unconsciously.
It was really not easy. Many of them could not hold on any longer and would have collapsed in a few days. They did not expect Lu Kai to tell them at this time that this torture was over.
Moreover, such an intense training volume will not be used as normal training in the future. It made many people come alive instantly, with joy in their hearts that was difficult to conceal.
"Yes, I believe everyone has already seen that these seven days of training have a purpose. I call it rust removal, removing the rust and leaving the essence. Congratulations, you have persisted, and each of you is an elite who has passed the test.
“Because of your hard work and perseverance, everyone here will become a true member of the Iron Army from today on. I congratulate you all.”
"justice!"
"justice!"
"justice!"
The soldiers all roared like crazy, as if they wanted to completely vent all the emotions that had been suppressed for the past seven days in this way.
"However, the end of Devil's Week is just the beginning..."
Lu Kai started a new round of lectures. After the lectures, Clyde read out the management regulations, training regulations and training requirements in regular training.
Starting from today, everyone will get up at six o'clock every day, wash up and have breakfast, and then officially start the day's training.
The training will be divided into several modules.
The first module, jointly led by Chief Instructor Latilos and Deputy Chief Instructor Adelman, is the basis for everyone to train together for three hours. The basic training is the same for everyone.
The training content involves explosive training, strength training, physical training, flexibility training, balance training, reaction speed training, relaxation training, practical training and other aspects.
After the basic training, the two instructors will personally guide everyone in combat training in swordsmanship, boxing, and leg techniques. Those who want to use weapons they are proficient in can also train at this time until noon.
There is an hour at noon for lunch and a short rest.
Starting from one o'clock in the afternoon, everyone including the deputy captain, the chief and deputy instructors, the captain and the team leader will undergo two hours of targeted training, and the one who will guide them in the targeted training is Lu Kai himself.
No one understands training better than Lu Kai, and no one is better at coaching than him. For Lu Kai, training or coaching has long been something that has penetrated into his bones and soul.
