Chapter 29 The Second Day

Li Ran continued his lecture, "The security team is composed of three departments. The first department is the command center, which is equipped with at least one global commander and one communications technician. The second department is the personal security personnel. The third department is the backup security personnel."

"The role of the command center is to constantly convey information to the heads of the other two departments, collect feedback information, and pre-detect and avoid dangers based on the information from the technical staff. The work of backup security personnel is relatively complex, including but not limited to perimeter reconnaissance, vehicle supply, etc. Today we will focus on the work of personal security personnel."

"The driver of the main car has bodyguards, the captain has the co-pilot seat, and the client has the back seat. The other bodyguards are in other vehicles. The captain has many jobs. The first job is similar to that of a racing navigator, which is to navigate the driver when he encounters trouble and try not to let the driver find the way by himself. The second job is to maintain contact with the backup personnel and the headquarters."

Che Wei, who was attending the class together, raised his hand, and after getting permission, he stood up and asked, "Why not put the backup team directly into the security team?"

Li Ran replied: "There are two types of attacks. One is an unexpected incident, which can usually be handled by the driver and the team leader. What we really need to consider is a premeditated attack. The criminals in a premeditated attack know themselves and the enemy, and know the security forces, and then launch the attack based on this. The purpose of the reserve team is to take the criminals by surprise and disrupt the criminals' premeditated environment."

Che Wei: "Is it possible that after strengthening the security of the front-line team, the criminals will give up attacking customers?"

Li Ran replied: "It is possible, but from my observation, it is not common. On the contrary, as the front-line team becomes stronger, the number of criminals and their weapons will increase sharply. For example, if there is only one car, two criminals will use pistols to control the bodyguards. If there are three cars, eight criminals will be needed to control the whole scene with guns. And because the environment is unstable, the criminals cannot fully control the situation, so the possibility of killing will increase."

Li Ran said: "As for whether we need to strengthen the front-line team or prepare a backup team, we need to make specific arrangements according to the specific situation. Information in this regard involves the intelligence department of the security company."

Che Wei shook his head: "I still insist on protecting my clients with a strong security team, rather than laying traps to eliminate criminals to protect my clients."

Li Ran said: "Your idea is correct. Everyone has different styles. You should not listen to my opinion. I suggest canceling this class. After the teams are divided, each supervisor can create a security team with his own style."

Che Wei nodded and sat down.

Yu Ming whispered, "Li Ran has a strong sense of attack. The teams led by this kind of people have a characteristic: they are either unpopular or very powerful."

Cui Jian: "Aren't bodyguards supposed to focus on defense?"

Yu Ming: "You can use your hands to defend yourself when boxing, but how can you defend yourself when someone uses a gun? Che Wei's idea belongs to the typical traditional security concept. Once you encounter a strong enemy, there may be corpses everywhere. If a strong enemy dares to attack, he must be sure to take down the team. On the contrary, the strong enemy dare not rashly attack Li Ran's team, and if they do, they may be bitten back."

Cui Jian: "But it will be troublesome for Li Ran's team to encounter weak and medium enemies."

Yu Ming: "The people thank you for inventing new words. You are right. This requires frontline bodyguards to have stronger capabilities."

Cui Jian: “Which one is better?”

Yu Ming: "From a strategic point of view, it is hard to say who is better or worse. The key lies in execution. From the perspective of our bodyguards, if we are protecting ordinary targets, Che Wei's group is definitely better. He has fewer responsibilities and simpler work. If we are protecting high-risk targets, it must be Li Ran's group." Li Ran on the podium looked at his phone: "The company has received news that the Hancheng City Council passed Resolution 211, and bodyguards who have obtained bodyguard qualification certificates can carry guns while on duty. Seoul has also submitted a similar proposal."

Li Ran: "We will use the rest of this class to talk about the guns that are allowed to be equipped. There are roughly three categories: pistols, shotguns, and non-automatic rifles." Automatic rifles can fire continuously by holding the trigger, while non-automatic rifles fire one bullet each time the trigger is pulled.

Li Ran was not a good instructor. His lectures were too bland and some students fell asleep within five minutes. In contrast, Ai Li's classes were boring and everyone listened with great interest, especially the male students.

The last class in the morning was Ai Li's class, which was about safety inspections. It included vehicle safety inspections, room safety inspections, etc., which included dangerous goods inspections, renovation hazard inspections, eavesdropping device inspections, etc. During Ai Li's class, all the instructors except Su Chen were in the classroom listening to the class.

Yu Ming still went to the physical training class in the afternoon. The first class today was physical training. Che Wei tailored a physical training plan for Yu Ming. It was no longer limited to intensive training in the afternoon, but to enhance physical fitness through daily training.

The second class was a fighting class, with Lin Chen as the instructor. Today, she chose Wang Ping, who lived in the same dormitory as Cui Jian, as her sparring partner. This training went wrong. After assessing Wang Ping's pain tolerance, Lin Chen increased the intensity of the fight, which eventually led to Wang Ping's arm being fractured and he was sent to the hospital.

For this scene, no one blamed Lin Chen, but praised Wang Ping for being a real man. Wang Ping was thrown around by Lin Chen, and he did not utter a groan until his bones were broken. Even though the pain was so severe that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he still insisted on standing up and continued to be Lin Chen's sparring partner.

Cui Jian also applauded and cheered, not because he was not the one who suffered, but because he remembered the dead bomb a year ago. He vaguely felt that Wang Ping was somewhat similar to those people, but he did not dare to draw a conclusion. He just took the time to call Liu Sheng and told him what he saw and thought.

The last class was still a physical training class, and some students raised questions. Ellie told everyone that the first week's practical classes were all fighting and physical training classes, and there would be no more physical training classes after that. The second week began to divide the classes into five classes in total, with four instructors leading each class, and the courses were arranged by the instructors themselves. The fifth class was for students who were not selected for the instructor class, and they would be led by several new instructors hired by the group.

If necessary, the instructors will arrange for their students to attend other instructors' courses, or accept other students to attend their own classes. However, after the division of classes, the four instructors have the power of life and death. They can not only select students from the ordinary class to join their team, but also transfer people from the team to the ordinary class.

Only three teams will be retained from the four teams, and students in the three teams can directly obtain bodyguard qualification certificates. If students in the general class and the fourth team are not accepted by the three teams, they will not be able to obtain bodyguard qualification certificates.

To put it bluntly, in the next seven weeks, four instructors will compete for three positions. As for which team will be eliminated, it will depend on the final simulation exercise.

The instructors will take the initiative to select people, and students can refuse to join a team or apply to join a team. Students are not allowed to take the initiative to contact the four instructors privately, but students are not prohibited from showing themselves and promoting themselves.

Ellie finally told everyone that bodyguards with bodyguard qualification certificates will 100% get the opportunity to join the Hancheng Security Company, and the minimum basic annual salary for full-time bodyguards is million. In other words, as long as you get a bodyguard qualification certificate, you will have a job with an annual income of million.

This explanation made the trainees nervous. They didn't know the number of security guards in each team, but they knew that some of them would be eliminated. At the same time, some trainees seemed particularly excited. The annual salary of 100 million exceeded the median income in Hancheng. And 100 million was only the minimum basic annual salary.

After the physical training class today, the ten students with the worst physical fitness were arranged to go to the yoga room in the gym for muscle breathing training. However, unlike what Cui Jian and his friends heard in the early morning, these ten students were not eliminated. It seems that the black card instructor did not put drugs in the water dispenser in the yoga room as agreed with Ellie.
