Chapter 276: Benefits from Tang Ziyi's innovation
Or would she piss herself and embarrassed her dignity? Well, the latter was what she wanted to avoid most.
The elite Special Air Service during the 1980s had described some of their training routines vaguely, which included the use of flashbangs.
What Tang Ziyi decided to implement exactly resembled one of these SAS drill. Resistance to flashbang and stun grenade.
Ling Qingyu already imagined the wild thrilling scenes of her heroically standing still calmly, in the face of multiple violent explosions, bursting out extremely accurate shots on the targets. Nothing outside of her world affected her concentration, as if the world collapsed she remained stoic like a Valkyrie.
Wiping off the saliva with the back of her hand, Ling Qingyu came into the present again. She wasn\'t as frightened as before. Since SAS operators accomplished them, why couldn\'t she?
She had asked Tang Ziyi if the guards were also undergoing such training but received Tang Ziyi\'s gaze of looking at an idiot.
"Of course not until I try it out first with the best physique among us." That was Tang Ziyi\'s words.
Ling Qingyu didn\'t know if they were supposed to be praising her worth or treating her as a guinea pig. She almost cried out her desolation
But she remembered Tang Ziyi was the one who cared deeply about her even without showing too obviously. Perhaps, this training hadn\'t been tried yet but Tang Ziyi must have experienced them herself first.
Well, technically, Ling Qingyu was correct in her guess. Tang Ziyi had toughened her ears\' and eyes\' sensors to abrupt dire changes in the surroundings. She had trained with real flashbangs but not too often.
However, Ling Qingyu\'s was incomparable with hers because training flashbang was designed to care for the well-being of the recipient.
While the two walked back, Ling Qingyu glanced through the thick window and saw her guards training inside the cleanhouse. Her face looked stunned.
Cleanhouse served as a simulated room to train close-quarter battle. Usually, Ling Qingyu wouldn\'t be too surprised. She had seen many videos shown online and her personal guards training once before.
This time she saw several guards in formation wearing tactical clothing and vests. Two columns paving the way.
Each had three guards, one with the large ballistic shield at the forefront, followed by two others peeking out their rifles on both sides, firing at the practice targets.
Shield training drill. This was the first time Ling Qingyu saw. With common knowledge, she knew it was hard for women to hold the heavyweight with the given upper body strength. How on earth were her guards able to achieve easily without burden? Were the shields fake? No way, no one in the right mind would simulate the battlefield with fake ones.
Tang Ziyi also stopped her footsteps when she saw Ling Qingyu interested in the training below. She walked to the window and leaned her arms on.
Noting Ling Qingyu\'s astonished expression and her eyes mostly drawn to the shield, Tang Ziyi understood. "It seems you have questions."
Ling Qingyu nodded. The guards advanced with shield protections, their tactics resembling Russian national guards\' slow and methodical approach.
With sufficient protection, there weren\'t any worries, regarding spray and pray behaviors from the enemies.
For instance, the enemy could merely put the rifles outward without exposing their bodies and pull the trigger recklessly. Without shields, this made the operators difficult to advance forward, especially in law enforcement environments where grenades and other violent methods were supervised and restricted.
"I thought you only liked the American one. Here, I saw you teaching them Russian." Ling Qingyu teased.
"When did I say I like Americans?" Tang Ziyi humphed. "It\'s just their methods are based on experiences and several real tests. They are definitely more reliable in terms of combat strategy and tactics."
Ling Qingyu nodded. Country A in this world also resembled America. Some might consider them as warmongering but which superpower wasn\'t accused of such titles?
With power came great responsibility and these drew the country to wage war, regardless of national interest or out for its survival.
Right now, most in her past world were eager for their country to stay completely out of conflicts. Although it might upgrade the image, in Ling Qingyu\'s opinion, the result would be disastrous and the country wasn\'t far from collapse.
Staying out meant an isolation policy, which never worked when one studied any nation\'s history. Only stupid people believed, that focusing on oneself completely would be beneficial in the long term.
Of course, stretching everywhere without solving internal issues was also a problem. The conflict between the two strategies became too overwhelming even for the global superpower.
Now, based on a news outlet, Ling Qingyu also discovered Country A has the same problem. As for Country R in the Bear continent, she had no idea because she found no resemblance at all.
The autocratic government remained the same but the ruling party wasn\'t a political party. The country was ruled by a monarch after slowly encroaching away the powers of various parties.
These cases were too far away for Ling Qingyu to intervene and contemplate. Even the City N wasn\'t under her influence yet.
The Russian methods displayed by her guards were extremely effective in the scenario likely played out in the future in Province N. The exchange of fires between the parties, likely the situation fighting against criminals, under the cover of shields gave them an additional edge. (There is no bazooka or RPG)
"Well, how about Russian?" Ling Qingyu asked.
"Although most of their logic and plans seem feasible, it is very hard in reality. Except for show effect and propaganda, their tactics are mostly hmm." Tang Ziyi showed a difficult expression, which Ling Qingyu could guess. "However, coins always have two sides, including a rusted damaged one.
In terms of shield tactics, their national guards are more experienced compared to other units around the world."
"So, our Sister Tang only brings out the advantages. I must thank you for your thoughts." Ling Qingyu said with a sigh. "Let\'s forget about the tactics. I\'m curious how in the world can my guards, especially females bear the weight of the shield. If I\'m not wrong and I remember correctly, the shield weighs 20 kg at least."
"18 kg to be exact." Tang Ziyi corrected.
"Yeah, but it\'s still heavy. Soldiers are trained to carry around 27 kg. In my opinion, don\'t get me wrong, it must be hard for our female guards." Ling Qingyu expressed her doubt.
The shields Ling Qingyu\'s guard used were similar to the Russian version, only slightly wider and taller, covering more angles. The rest remained the same in terms of design.
"What you meant is impossible, right?" Tang Ziyi wasn\'t angry. Ling Qingyu nodded, beckoning for more explanation.
Tang Ziyi added: "I also know the problems. Even among Russian elite units, very few were capable or eligible for long combat with shields. But you have to know, it\'s not the upper body\'s strength, like the style used by the West. Look carefully at their waists."
Tang Ziyi pointed at the shield-bearer figure and Ling Qingyu\'s eyes followed. Indeed, the shield was lifted up by one arm while there was another connection to the tactical belt.
In other words, even without the use of arms\' strength, the shield was attached to a person\'s waist.
A look of understanding flashed on Ling Qingyu\'s face. In this way, even females could lift the shields, without burden on their upper body weight.
Of course, the theory wasn\'t new because Ling Qingyu had seen, some SWAT members experimenting on the shields.
"I see. The old fashion." Ling Qingyu said. The old fashion sacrificed maneuverability for protection. Chapter Discover:
"Russian way works." Tang Ziyi said with a smirk. "But my shield is different. You already knew the special ballistic protection clothing, worn by your subordinates. They were light yet extremely resistant to impact. There are other benefits but they aren\'t important in our context."
"So…" Ling Qingyu guessed what Tang Ziyi wanted to say next but she wasn\'t sure.
"Since I can manufacture light bulletproof armor clothing, what makes you think I cannot do the same for Kevlar-like vests, shields, and helmets." Tang Ziyi smiled and spread her hands.
F**k. Ling Qingyu already felt like Tang Ziyi was too cheating!
