Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 327 Melancholy Tagore
“There is no end at all!”

The personnel test of the new 191st Brigade does not use the standard timed test of conventional special forces, nor does it contain any overly complicated items.

It is to use various basic tests to form a circular test site, and then start the circular trial.

Although each project has a time requirement, this time requirement is a very loose standard for soldiers from any country.

And you can take a 5-minute break after each project!

After a set of tests, there is a one-hour break during which soldiers can eat, drink water, and even sleep.

But when the time is up, you have to keep playing!
The test was set by Shanying. Since he had limited time, he did not have much time to think about it, so he chose the least technically demanding items and then used endless high-intensity cycles to break the will of these soldiers.

This high-intensity cycle will continue until only 200 soldiers are left.

Then these 200 people will fly to Krabi with him and receive special training from the U.S. Navy SEAL Team Six in a newly built military camp. In the end, only 100 people will be able to become official members.

Tagore, who was furious, used his uncle's connections to send 90 test invitations to Thailand's most elite troops, including the 31st Special Operations Division and the 900rd Special Operations Group of the Thai Army Special Forces, the th Task Force Company of the Army's Counter-Terrorism Unit, and the st Infantry Regiment of the Thai Rapid Reaction Force.

These invitations were accompanied by a list of benefits for the new 191st Brigade...

There is a reward of 5 baht for taking the test and baht for passing the test...

Entering formal training and passing the Devil Week to become an official member of the 191st Brigade will be rewarded with 5 Thai baht.

At the same time, the salary standard of the 191st Brigade increased by 30%, and there were also various training and mission subsidies.

These invitations were snapped up by Thai soldiers as soon as they were sent to the troops, because they could get 10,000 yuan just by participating, which was really a good deal for soldiers who had trouble supporting their families.

The test started at 6 am and lasted for 1 hours by 7 pm...

Because there is an hour's rest between each round, not many people are eliminated. The fastest group has finished the fifth round and is preparing to sprint to the sixth round.

Shanying and several officers were driven to the training ground by Tagore, and were dragged under a parasol...

Several trucks loaded with supplies drove to the end of the training ground, and then the simple emergency foods were replaced by a variety of fresh seafood, meat, vegetables and fruits.

Shanying watched Tagore open several large lunch boxes with his own hands and extend his hand to invite him and several officers to have dinner together...

He looked at the mark on the lunch box, then at the chefs and waiters who jumped off the trucks, and said jokingly, "You paid for so many people to have a big meal, and you can't make ends meet?"

As he spoke, he picked a lobster, put it on the lid of the lunch box, and placed it on an empty chair for Barron to start eating...

Tagore picked up a huge hamburger with wagyu beef and took a bite. He wiped the grease off his chin with his hand and said while chewing: "The best soldiers should get the best treatment!"

Shanying saw that Baran was eating happily. He glanced at the officers next to him who looked very excited, shook his head slightly, and said nothing...

He lowered his head and scooped up half a lobster, then pulled off the huge, steaming lobster meat along with the cheese. Shanying heroically stuffed the lobster meat into his mouth, setting an example for the officers who were a little overwhelmed...

Seeing their future boss eating without any manners with Shanying, several officers looked at each other, then opened their lunch boxes and started to eat.

It doesn’t matter whether it tastes good or not, or whether you like it or not, you just have to eat it more roughly and deliciously than Tagore did.

When someone in a high position puts down his airs, it is either because he is very angry or because he wants to show his people-friendly attitude in order to win over some people.

When Shanying saw this, he naturally had to cooperate with him!
This guy has been in a very good mood ever since Samantha was rescued.

The state of a man whose self-esteem has been satisfied cannot be hidden from others.

But there were many things he couldn't tell other people, not even his family, and Shanying became almost the only person he could confide in.

This kind of talk includes work, life, emotions...

Tagore regarded the mountain eagle as a true friend!

Because of his recent success, he even developed a certain reliance on Shanying when it came to work without realizing it...

Seeing the officers eating happily, Tagore put down the half-eaten Wagyu burger, picked up a bottle of soda water and took a sip, then said to Shanying: "Is this test you made okay?
Aren't those SEALs supposed to listen to you? Why don't you let them test according to SEAL standards?"

Shanying looked at the complacent Tagore with disdain, waved his hand and said, "That's something we'll do after we go to Krabi.

Only the 200 people who persist the longest will remain from this test, and then they will go to Krabi and do it again according to the SEAL standards.

At that time, another 100 people will be eliminated, and formal tactical training will not start until they have gone through the Devil’s Week.”

Tagore looked at the soldiers struggling on the training ground and smacked his lips and said, "Isn't that a bit of a pity?"

Shanying was choked by Tagore's tone, and then said unhappily: "What a pity? Do you know how much it costs to train a member of SEAL Team Six?

Thai soldiers are of course much cheaper, but if you want to maintain such a team, you also need the corresponding basic logistical facilities.

Canteen, hospital, mental health, rehabilitation, equipment logistics...

You cannot afford the same level of electronic logistics as the Americans, nor can you provide strategic delivery, but you cannot do without basic command centers and tactical vehicles.

A squadron of SEAL Team Six has 2500 to 3000 people, but only 35 to 40 of them are responsible for front-line combat.

There is no need for SEAL Team 100. A 500-man Ranger-level special operations team requires 800 to professional logistics personnel to operate.

Go back and check the budget. How much of what I just mentioned can you handle?"

Shanying looked at Tagore's slightly disappointed expression and said with a smile, "Don't blame me for being harsh. Actually, those old 191s of Supa's team are not that bad...

Even if you want to set up a top special forces team, there is no need to expand the business too much all at once.

In my opinion, 20 to 30 people are enough!
To be honest, there are not many working SEALs. Even if I push their wounded to the training ground in wheelchairs to help, they can only train 100 people at most.

This is their limit! Unless you can accept that they cut corners on the training content..."

After hearing this, Tagore gritted his teeth and said, "100 people cannot be less!

I have suffered enough from the lack of combat effectiveness, and this time I must take this good opportunity to solve the problem of insufficient combat effectiveness of the police force."

Shanying actually doesn't think that Thailand can train a team at the level of SEAL Team Six within a year. The resources and funds are not enough. Even if they train for ten or twenty years, they can't do it.

For this type of strategic-level T1, personnel quality is only one aspect; what really makes them strong is the support of strategic logistics and intelligence systems.

The combat capability of Mountain Eagle is actually magnified. Without Crow, Cicada and flexible armor, he would only be slightly stronger than those members of SEAL Team Six.

Putting aside those things that are not available on the market, the weapons and equipment used by the SEAL Team Six are no worse than those of the Mountain Eagle.

But it’s not my own money anyway…

This time, the United States spent a lot of money and arranged for an international defense company to come and connect with it. It will provide a full set of equipment to this new batch of soldiers from the 191st Battalion, as well as a tactical command system.

As for the remaining things, given the Thai people’s character, they can always find ways to make do with them.

Anyway, as long as they have adequate food, drink and medical care, soldiers driving pickup trucks can wipe out criminals.

These are already the best soldiers in Thailand. If they can go one step further, it will definitely satisfy the leaders of the police force.

Nodding his head, Shanying acknowledged Tagore's ambition. He ate the food in the lunch box in two or three bites, then wiped his hands and said, "These are all your problems. I will rest in Krabi for a while and think about the pirate problems in the Andaman Sea..."

How you want to train is your own business, I won't get involved!"

As he spoke, Shanying pointed in the direction of Sam and the others, and said seriously: "Those soldiers are powerful, but what is really powerful is their logistics system.

See that bearded guy? You have to arrange for people to closely monitor and learn from them. No matter what they want, try to satisfy them as much as possible...

They represent the most technically demanding part!"

After hearing this, Tagore said with some regret: “Can’t you really help?
I trust your vision, and I still need your opinion on the establishment of the headquarters of the 191st Brigade!"

Shanying glanced at the officers next to him whose eyes suddenly lit up, smiled and shook his head, and said, "We'll see when the time comes. You have to figure out the selection of the brigade commander yourself, but I can help with the squad selection.

I have a few guys who used to be signal flag players. When the time comes, I'll find a place for them to practice with me.

With Signal Flags and SEAL Team Six as the sieve, the top ones will emerge quickly."

Tagore understood Shanying's attitude. He sighed with regret and said, "I think you are the best candidate for commander. It's a pity that you..."

Shanying waved his hands and said, "Are you kidding me? How much does the commander of the 191st Brigade make a year?

I make hundreds of thousands of dollars a minute now, and hundreds of people depend on me for food. I'm so busy, how can I have the time to lead a group of soldiers to spend the whole day in the training ground?"

After hearing this, Tagore took the eagle aside...

Looking at Shanying's puzzled expression, Tagore hesitated for a moment and said, "I want Samantha to go to Krabi to give birth, and find something for her to do..."

Shanying was stunned for a moment, frowned and said: "Even if your family members are against your marriage, they should not be against you having a mistress..."

Tagore waved his hand with a somewhat melancholy expression and said, "Samantha is too depressed in Bangkok...

Although she didn’t say anything, I knew she was unhappy in Bangkok.”

Tagore looked at the mountain eagle and said seriously: "I know that the Prime Minister's Office gave you a large piece of land...

I knew that place, it had an undeveloped bay in it.

I'll invest part of the money and let Samantha build a resort there.

Krabi's tourism industry is rising against the trend at this time, so this is definitely a good investment."

Shanying looked at Tagore's serious expression, thought about it for a moment, nodded and said, "Let's do it!
In a while, I will have a large amount of public funds in my hands. I will figure out the infrastructure, and you can let Samantha plan the resort with confidence.

No matter how much you pay, Samantha gets 50% of the shares!
But you have to think carefully, do you really want to tie Samantha up in Krabi?"

Tagore nodded in distress and said, "My mother introduced me to several girls, and we all know what this means...

If I put Samantha in Bangkok, I would feel like I am not a human being..."

Shanying sighed and said, "It seems that you really like Samantha...

All right, let her go with me, so she can be out of sight and out of mind."

Shanying looked at Tagore who nodded and said with a smile: "Do you think it is difficult to be a good man?"

Tagore sighed helplessly and said, "It's really too difficult!"

When Shanying heard this, he cursed and laughed, "You f*cking took it seriously..."

Tagore spread his hands and said, “You don’t understand. If you look at the girls that Devika introduced to me, you will know that it is really difficult for me!
I just want to find a beautiful and virtuous girl to be my wife. I don’t like those women who graduated from Harvard or Oxford at all…

I have also studied abroad, and I know what these second-generation students did when they were studying abroad.
What do you think an Asian girl can learn by traveling thousands of miles to America to study Asian history?

Shanying has seen this kind of people before, and knows that the so-called liberal arts departments of famous European and American universities are mostly important positions for their ideological output...

Imagine a Thai bureaucrat having to face a girl who has been influenced by democracy and freedom for many years, and even marry her...

Shanying shook his head sympathetically and said, "Be more open-minded. Things like marriage will pass if you endure it. Haha..."
