Chapter 840 Death Ceremony
The content of the "Sports and Strength Festival" is actually quite simple, with only two projects.
But the content is very fatal.
First, you can slap your flippers in the sea. The straight line distance is 10 miles (about 20 kilometers). From the sas training camp pier on Island R, you can reach the sat (underwater assault) training camp pier; second, after resting for 20 minutes (including meal time), carry a 30kg backpack and running 25 kilometers off-road in the rugged mountain road.
The reason why this traditional fixed assessment is called a "death ceremony" is that in the past years, the number of students died in this project was the largest number of students.
Relying on the sas army, the "Death Ceremony" is a project that everyone is still scared when they mention it, but it is also a project that everyone wants to try their skills.
Just as men always have a heroic complex, in the special forces, everyone wants to prove themselves.
There are many ways to prove it, but the most direct and simple method is like playing extreme sports and doing things that others cannot do.
The "Death Festival" provides such an opportunity, similar to the "Hell Week" in China. Although this project only lasts one day, not many people can survive it after one day.
There are only 15 people left in the entire C-rank now. No one knows how many people will be eliminated tomorrow.
That night, all the fun I had after I returned from training.
There was silence in the tent, and everyone was making final preparations for tomorrow's fatal challenge.
The "Death Ceremony" is paired in groups, with Qasim and Zhuang Yan in groups, Cui Weinan and Wei Shuping in groups - in fact, it has been used to this a long time ago.
Because Wei Shuping's speaking is not good, there are certain difficulties in communication, so it is most appropriate to pair him with Cui Weinan.
The solemn spoke well, so there was no obstacle to partnering with Qasim. In addition, the two of them were both foreign students, so the pairing was also very suitable.
When Kasim and Zhuang Yan were studying tomorrow's physical distribution plan that night, they sat on the floor, wrapped their heads with a towel wet with cold water, crossed their feet and placed their hands on their knees, just like meditating, their eyes slightly closed, and looked exactly like an old monk entering into meditation.
Whatever Zhuang Yan said, he agreed with a "hmm" and couldn't even give up his head.
"What are you doing? Meditation?" Zhuang Yan finally noticed the strange movements of his classmate, so he couldn't help asking.
"I'm meditating, which helps me concentrate, quickly recover my energy, and be able to perform better tomorrow," said Qasim.
"Nonsense." Zhuang Yan finally reacted for a long time and said, "Where did you learn these messy things?"
Qasim opened his eyes and said seriously: "Don't disbelief. I have to do this every time I want a big exam. It's very effective."
Zhuang Yan doesn't want to meddle in other people's business.
How can Qasim do toss it is his own freedom.
"You have heard what I said just now?"
"Um."
Qasim is still the same.
Zhuang Yan knew that nothing he said to him was useless.
Fortunately, I am the team leader and I have to listen to myself tomorrow. Qasim's physical strength is first-class, and partnering with me will not drag my back.
So I felt relieved, went back to my floor, took out my notebook and paper from my backpack, and started writing letters to Lin Qingying through the light.
It has been almost a year since this.
Both of them rely on the most primitive method of communication for communication.
Fortunately, Country T is not far from Moscow, and the communication can be received within half a month.
Lin Qingying sent Zhuang Yan a lot of military books.
Some books do not have Chinese translations. Fortunately, Zhuangyan is in Country T. There are more than a dozen countries here to train. Students from some countries are proficient in English and can ask them for advice.
Since sas training has double breaks and weekends, there are two days a week to rest.
During the break, Zhuang Yan, in addition to Cui Weinan and Wei Shuping, had been out a few times, basically stayed in the camp.
Later I went to R Island. Since it was a tourist area, there were many beaches to visit, and it was a well-known diving place. Unfortunately, swimming and diving had to be paid for tourists, and it was free for the solemn. In addition to the two days, I had to stay in the water for several hours every day, and I had to get tired of it.
In this way, Zhuangyan will basically not go out, and she will read books in a tent or in the pergola on weekends.
In this way, not only can foreign language proficiency improve by leaps and bounds, but also has a broad vision.
Those foreign military books opened another door to the horizon.
Foreign special operations concepts, special forces construction, the application of multi-army synthesis tactics, electronic warfare technology, etc., all make them solemnly obsessed.
Through each detailed comparison, Zhuangyan saw the shortcomings of the Pla special forces. He suddenly understood why Han Zixuan came back after participating in foreign military exchanges and decided to form a special combat team with a "new model", perhaps just like he was sitting on the beach of T country today.
The entire world's army is constantly developing, and the international situation, combat concepts, tactical concepts, tactical means applications, etc. are constantly being updated. To be comparable to world-class special forces, Pla must open the door to communicate with a modest attitude, rather than staying on the old combat concept, overemphasizing the quality of individual soldiers and ignoring the application of technical means and combat concepts.
During the summer vacation, Lin Qingying wanted to come to T Country, but she could only go to R Island solemnly. The training was too tense and she had no time at all. In the end, Lin Qingying had to give up.
Sometimes, the relationship between a soldier is just like the life of the army, boring and monotonous, and it is really boring and monotonous, but it can make this relationship more precious.
Zhuang Yan once asked Lin Qingying why there are so many excellent boys outside who choose a soldier who cannot meet once a year as the partner of their relationship.
Lin Qingying replied to Zhuangyan that distance is not a measure of love. If a relationship becomes weaker because of distance, it is because we don’t love each other deeply enough.
At the end of the letter, Lin Qingying said sincerely that she had seen many charming people outside, and the men wearing green military uniforms were the most masculine.
This is so confident that he said solemnly that he had to stop and look at the mirror several times when passing by the place with a mirror. The more he looked, the more he felt that Lin Qingying was right.
No matter how handsome Zhuangyan thinks he is, he can’t be a good person. He has to pass the assessment before he can graduate.
The next morning, we woke up at 7 o'clock, and everyone had to sort out the necessary equipment in the dim tent.
Since you have to swim for a long distance of 20 kilometers and stay in the water for at least several hours, you must wear a professional diving suit so that your body temperature will not be lost too quickly.
If your body loses heat during long-distance swimming, it is easy to cause collapse and shock.
The school arranged a group of two people, which was to take care of them.
When eight o'clock arrived, the instructors distributed high-calorie energy bars to everyone.
Since you have to swim for a long distance, you cannot eat too much food, but the calories must be maintained in place.
Everyone in the tent was preparing their own - those who wiped "futalin", those who put on plasters, those who tied bandages, those who repaired flippers, those who adjusted their masks, those who took vitamins, and those who drank power-bar (stimulant-like).
Some T-jun students even secretly used their mobile phones to call their families...
No one knows what danger will be today, and no one dares to say that they must be without danger.
Maybe this is the final farewell.
But no one has withdrawn for the time being. This is the territory of men. Men's hormones are flying everywhere and they escape at the last minute. They will never look up in their lives.
The atmosphere is extremely tense, and Vaseline is applied solemnly on your neck, chest, shoulders, armpits and mouse streams. This can prevent diving suit from scratching the skin and is also of great benefit to subsequent long-distance heavy-bearing raids.
As a result, 15 people used up 3 large cans of Vaseline.
At 8:30, the time for the decisive battle finally came.
The instructor blew a whistle, gathered the people, and brought them to the beach where they usually trained, and everyone stood separately in groups of two people.
Chapter completed!
