Chapter 58 Week
This move made Cui Jian very greedy. He learned that Li Ran's group had a reward and punishment system. People who made fatal mistakes would be expelled or fined 10 yuan. Those who made mistakes in principle would be fined 5 yuan, and those who made the same mistake twice would be fined 10 yuan. If they made the same mistake three times, they would be expelled directly.
Every day of training, top students will receive a bonus of 20 yuan, and average students will receive a bonus of yuan. During the exercise, the bonus is even higher, and the amount is entirely up to Li Ran.
It is said that all the bonuses were paid out of Li Ran's own pocket. During his tenure in the United States, Li Ran's annual salary was two million US dollars. After being poached by the Hancheng Security Company, his income must have increased.
In contrast, everyone in Ellie's team felt the gap between the two. Ellie's team spent three days training drifting and turning, while Li Ran's team did not conduct special training for special driving, but strengthened the teamwork between vehicles. There were only three or four people in Li Ran's team who performed well, and most of them were average, but it was these few people who improved the overall strength and brought out a team of sheep led by a lion.
Whether it is the captain or the bodyguard, they all have a certain degree of job flexibility. The captain looks at the map, and when he is too busy to contact the first and second cars, he will give the right of execution to the driver. Li Ran was not satisfied with the driver's panic after receiving the captain's order. It was obvious that he had been mechanically executing orders before, without thinking about the known information.
Ellie left after watching the first exercise. Before leaving, she asked Li Ran if he could transfer a few people he liked to her. Li Ran asked her to talk to the driver herself. He did not require the bodyguards to be loyal to him, but required them to be professional.
The second exercise was held in an abandoned factory. Four bodyguards protected the VIPs as they retreated. Two of them retreated in an orderly manner with guns, not seeking to hurt the enemy but to force the pursuers into the bunker. One of the two bodyguards was the bodyguard leader, the core of the bodyguards. He dispatched vehicles, connected to the command center, and determined the support situation. The other bodyguard supported and guided the VIPs to evacuate.
The third exercise was held in an office building of an abandoned factory. Corridor surveillance was installed. This time, there were two bodyguards and six assassins. The bodyguards relied on electronic eyes for assistance. The technicians at the command center used surveillance to command the bodyguards and VIPs to avoid the assassins and find an escape route for them. In a dilemma, the head bodyguard also had his own ideas. He asked the technicians to provide the location of the power distribution room to cut off the power supply, and at the same time set up various illusions to confuse the assassins.
The bodyguards did a good job, and the technicians were also good, but the killers were too strong. The killers were led by the car captain who performed well in the first exercise and caught up with the VIP who was about to flee. Although the VIP was finally sent to the car, both bodyguards died.
Li Ran criticized the process. He believed that there was no law or professional ethics requiring bodyguards to take bullets for their employers, and that the two bodyguards' suicide counterattack, at the cost of their own lives, in order to delay the killer's time was a very stupid decision. Li Ran believed that under the current circumstances, the bodyguards and VIPs should insist on evacuating, and it was acceptable for someone to be shot dead during the evacuation process, but what he did not accept was suicide as the rear guard.
Some students raised objections. From the news, movies and TV shows, all bodyguards protect their employers with their lives. During the discussion, the student even cited the Italian Prime Minister incident as an example. Li Ran told him that it was two completely different things. After the Prime Minister was attacked, the bodyguards did surround him with their bodies, but it was not a dead end. One reason was that the bodyguards wore bulletproof vests, but the Prime Minister did not. The second reason was that the bodyguards were all young and strong, but the Prime Minister was not. The third reason was that someone was dealing with the criminals, and the bodyguards had an absolute advantage.
Li Ran advocated that bodyguards surrender when they were absolutely passive, but it also depended on the specific situation. Anyway, he did not approve of any bodyguard doing something that would surely lead to his death for his employer.
Shi Feng said to Cui Jian: "I am so excited after hearing this. I want to stay in this group."
Cui Jian shook his head: "I don't want to."
Shi Feng: "Why?" Cui Jian: "You can't slack off. Have you noticed? Li Ran has one requirement for everyone: think. Everyone must be clear about the situation they are facing, where they are, what their goals are, and what to do next?" Putting yourself in the role of a killer, it is quite difficult to take on Li Ran's bodyguards. Because everyone is thinking, it is difficult to standardize their behavior, and the difficulty of capturing the king increases accordingly.
However, assassins are flexible and have all kinds of means, from guns to poison. Li Ran's group showed strength in resisting external attacks, but we have not seen Li Ran's group's ability to deal with internal infiltration. If the behavior is standardized, it is easy for assassins to attack from the outside. If the behavior is not standardized, it is easy for assassins to infiltrate. This may be one of the reasons why Li Ran emphasizes professionalism.
Watching Li Ran's group's one-day exercise is better than six weeks of training.
Not only Shi Feng had this idea, but everyone else in Ellie's group felt the gap between the two teams. Especially since four people had died yesterday, the team's morale was extremely bad.
For the rest of the week, the Ellie Group did not conduct drills, but instead conducted shooting training. The biggest change was that Ellie selected eight new members from the regular class to join her team, and added two foreign players, one was a tall and strong 8-year-old woman named Jin Zhenzhu, and the other was a slightly overweight 35-year-old man named Jin Zaiqing.
Ellie immediately announced that Jin Zhenzhu and Jin Zaiqing were the deputy captains of the Ellie team. Their identities were not secret and were soon exposed. Jin Zhenzhu was the operations director of the security company under the former Jumu Group. She was responsible for coordinating and commanding the bodyguards at work, such as personal bodyguards asking for help. She was also responsible for delivering information intelligence to the bodyguard team.
Jumu Security Company will also be merged into Hancheng Security Company when the time is right.
Jin Zaiqing, a senior police officer, is the head of the witness protection team of the Hancheng Police Department.
They were all recruited by Hancheng Security with a large sum of money. On the first day they met, they were rather cold to Ellie, not to mention to others. Jin Zaiqing was even more outspoken, he thought that the people in Ellie's group did not meet the basic requirements of the police officers he once worked under.
In the seventh week, Jin Zaiqing served as the acting instructor, practicing how to protect the VIPs and escape from the pursuers, and send them to the safe house safely. At the same time, Jin Zhenzhu also served as the acting instructor, practicing the scenes of protecting celebrities, how to identify criminals among crazy fans, and how to prohibit fans from approaching celebrities.
All this gave Cui Jian the feeling that Ellie had a split personality.
The two deputy captains taught completely different things. As the captain, Ellie felt a little exhausted after four students were assassinated. However, Shi Feng told Cui Jian some inside information that Ellie's group had strong reinforcements and they were already excellent bodyguards without training. The reason for training ordinary students like Cui Jian was to hope that Cui Jian and his team could take on basic missions outside the city and package their team as one of the security teams in Hancheng.
The seventh week came to an end, with only the last week left. Cui Jian was not concerned at all about the construction of the bodyguard team. He drove to the supermarket to buy food, then changed to a farm vehicle in Xiaowan Town and drove back to Xifeng Mountain.
