When you're in the Wolf Pack, your ability to obey orders becomes stronger.

Chapter 271 Thor's Dilemma

"I think I'm fine," Xu Ge said seriously.

What a joke! If he were really in charge, he would definitely warm up several times before taking action.

Tactics, shooting, physical fitness, combat... add all those boosts to the team members' stats!

Everyone can gain skill points, and everyone's strength is temporarily boosted – it's definitely a win-win situation!
Xu Ge knew he lacked practical experience, but he wouldn't give unsolicited advice.

He had also gone on official business with the Hidden Wolves and knew that these people would definitely make detailed plans in advance before taking action, and most of the time Old Wang would also keep an eye on things throughout.

To put it bluntly, once you get to the scene of the operation, the role of on-site command isn't that significant.

"What do you think? A commander can't just think he can; he has to be responsible for other people's lives!" Old Wang's expression also turned serious. "Do you think you have that ability?"

"He's just the deputy team leader, not the team leader. Why make such a big deal out of it?"

Xu Ge looked at Lao Wang and said, "Lao Wang, don't forget, I was originally going to the Special Forces Brigade. It was someone who insisted on driving to the training camp to invite me to Hidden Wolf. Is it too much for me to ask for a deputy team leader position now?"

Old Wang: "You son of a bitch..."

"Dog Baby!"

"To!"

"Who are you talking to there, calling him 'Old Wang'?"

Old Wang craned his neck and glared at Xu Ge, "Back when you were in Class 9, you could call me Old Wang and I wouldn't care. But now that you're a member of the Hidden Wolf Squad, what should you call me?"

Xu Ge curled his lip: "Boss."

Old Wang tilted his ear: "What did you say? Speak louder!"

Xu Ge took a deep breath, just about to give Old Wang a loud shout, when Old Wang immediately took a step back: "Forget it, don't do it again!"

"Boss, are you going to give me the position of deputy team leader or not?" Xu Ge pressed.

Old Wang: "What, are you threatening me? What can you do if I don't give it to you?"

Xu Ge: "Last time, Vice Luo said that I was welcome to visit him anytime."

"You son of a bitch..."

Old Wang was also rendered speechless.

He truly hadn't expected Xu Ge to care so much about the position of deputy team leader; in his view, it was a trivial matter.

Because here at Hidden Wolf, nobody really cares about this thing.

Old Wang could even guess that if he asked Jiazi and 619 at this point, neither of them would be willing to be the deputy group leader.

"Well, the deputy team leader is chosen by the team leader, so I can't really interfere." Old Wang passed the buck to Thor.

Xu Ge immediately looked at Thor: "The boss has already agreed, what do you say?"

Lao Wang:? ? ?
Thor: ? ? ?
Old Wang was so angry he laughed. When the hell did I agree to that?

"Hey Goubao, the deputy team leader only gets an extra hundred or two yuan in allowance each month, but the responsibilities are exactly the same as mine as the team leader's. It's all thankless work, so why are you doing this... Holy crap?"

Thor suddenly realized something halfway through his sentence, "You're not planning to use your position as deputy team leader to train everyone all day, are you?!"

Li Dongshui's expression changed: "Holy crap! That must be it!"

It has to be said that Thor's thinking and reaction are still so quick; he actually guessed Xu Ge's true purpose in an instant.

Seeing that Lao Wang and the others were about to ask what was going on, Xu Ge immediately said to Thor, "If you don't let me be the deputy team leader, then I'll go to the healer's team!"

Thor: "You fucking..."

Old Wang was getting impatient: "You've been going on about choosing a deputy group leader for half an hour already! Aren't you tired of this? The readers are tired of it. Just decide already!"

“Boss, how about this: next time we operate, let Goubao try to lead first. If he can really do it without making mistakes, then I won’t object to giving him the deputy team leader position,” Thor said.

Old Wang looked at Xu Ge: "What do you say?"

Xu Ge: "I'm fine!"

"Alright, that's settled! Next, Thor will arrange for the new recruits to familiarize themselves with the environment and training procedures. I still need to go to the brigade headquarters!"

"Yes!"

. . .

. . .

Over the next few days, Thor led Xu Ge and Wan Xiaofei on a tour of the base, explaining the functions of each area before the three arrived at the equipment room.

"Wow!!!"

Wan Xiaofei's reaction was similar to when Li Dongshui first came; his eyes practically sparkled with excitement.

"Holy crap! A helmet with a receiver! This must be an intelligent tactical system!"

"Four-eye night vision goggles!"

"Holy crap! Automatically recognized eyepieces and gloves..."

Wan Xiaofei, a man of considerable experience, exclaimed in astonishment, "If this were connected to the drones in the sky, it would be like opening up the entire map!"

Thor smiled and led the two of them further into the armory.

"You must learn to use all the weapons and equipment here. In addition to our own standard equipment, you must also be proficient in at least two sets of foreign military equipment."

"Of course, if you have any weapons or equipment that you're good at but we don't have here, you can report it. Someone will be in charge of purchasing them, and we'll also consider any reasonable modification suggestions." Wan Xiaofei immediately raised his hand: "Thor, I think I'm pretty good at archery, like the kind we encountered during the selection process. Can we purchase those arrowheads?"

Thor: "Those arrows are too expensive. We have crossbows here that are just as useful in special situations and for silent kills."

Xu Ge asked, "What exactly did you mean by 'new recruit training'?"

"For the next month, your task is to become familiar with all the weapons and equipment and adapt to the offensive rhythm of the other team members, and complete the tactical integration as soon as possible."

Thor looked at the two and said, "When I said 'completing tactical coordination,' I meant that you two must be able to take on any assault position!"

Wan Xiaofei was taken aback: "Won't everyone's position be fixed?"

Thor shook his head: "No! We only recognize positions, not people. Anyone can be in any position."

Both of their expressions turned serious.

"From now on, every morning will be physical training. In the morning, you will practice the use of all weapons and equipment on your own. In the afternoon, you will practice tactical movements with others. In the evening, you will conduct training debriefing and study theory."

"What about the weekend?"

"Newcomers don't have weekends."

Xu Ge: ...

Wan Xiaofei: ...

Thor snapped his fingers: "Now, grab your first set of weapons and equipment and assemble at the indoor shooting range!"

"Yes!"

Xu Ge still chose the SCAR, and for the pistol, he chose the G17, also known as the Glock 17, on Thor's advice.

In Thor's words, although the gun is made of plastic, its strength lies in its stability, making it a perfect fit for Xu Ge, who excels at rapid fire.

Wan Xiaofei immediately grabbed a crossbow.

After entering the shooting range, Thor first let the two practice on their own for half an hour before giving them a simple assessment of their shooting skills.

At this point, Wan Xiaofei's strength as the first-place winner of the group army's competition became apparent.

Although Xu Ge's shooting skills have improved considerably, he was completely outmatched by Wan Xiaofei, only gaining a slight advantage in close-range pistol shooting.

Da da da!
Bang bang bang!
clap clap clap!
The two newcomers continued firing at the target, while Thor sat to the side wearing headphones and sketching.

He is developing a training plan based on each of their strengths and modifying previous tactical configurations.

This is something we do every time a new employee arrives.

After drawing in the notebook for a while, Thor took out a magnetic clasp and added two more round badges representing the team members.

After writing down the initials of Goubao and the sheepdog's names on them, Thor began to work out the possibilities in his mind.

Wan Xiaofei is a well-rounded individual who can adapt to almost any position. He is currently mainly considering Xu Ge's position.

Although he had previously said that the Hidden Wolves only recognized positions and not individuals, as the attacking team, they definitely needed to prepare one or two of the most powerful tactical configurations.

Thor sat there for more than ten minutes, lost in thought, without even noticing that Xu Ge and Wan Xiaofei had finished their training and come over.

To his utter surprise, Thor discovered that the reason he had been so indecisive was whether or not he and Xu Ge should switch positions!
This discovery instantly piqued Thor's interest.

It's worth noting that after Lao Lian's sacrifice, with Li Dongshui filling in, Thor moved from the number one position to the observer position.

Of course, the overall strength of the attacking group has also decreased significantly, as they are missing their two strongest positions: the sniper and the number one assault soldier.

In fact, after Xu Ge passed the selection, Thor's first thought was to make Xu Ge an observer, while he himself would return to the number one position. In this way, the overall combat power of the group would instantly return to what it was before.

Thor was conflicted because he suddenly realized that putting Xu Ge in the number one position seemed to work very well!

As for how good it is, he cannot be sure until he has actually used it in a real battle.

"Cousin, what are you doing here? Deploying troops?" Xu Ge asked, carrying the SCAR.

Thor then snapped out of his daze, took off his headphones, and asked, "Are you two done training?"

"Yeah, didn't you check the time? Dinner's ready!"

Xu Ge tilted his head and looked at the tactics board for a while. "Hey, why did you single us out?"

Thor's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Dog Boy, in which position do you think you can maximize our team's offensive power?"

Xu Ge paused for a moment: "That depends on the situation, on the nature of the action."

Thor: "Since we're only pursuing combat power, it must be done through a strong offensive!"

Xu Ge replied without hesitation: "Then it must be position number one."

To Thor's surprise, Wan Xiaofei nodded in agreement: "Yeah! I think so too, Goubao is very suitable for position number one!"

"why?"

"I fought alongside him, and his close-range shooting was practically unbeatable—fast and accurate!"

Thor pondered for a moment and said, "I can do that too, and I can do it better than him."

Wan Xiaofei: ? ? ?

He didn't know Thor's strength, but when he realized that Xu Ge didn't refute Thor's words at all, he was immediately taken aback.

Goodness, no wonder he's the team leader!
