25 Chapter 25: End of Training Program

The cadets training went on for two whole weeks of shooting practice. Razlov let them engage in many different situations to further hone their skills in using guns. Their training also went to various fields like diving underwater to infiltrate the enemy defense or base, rappelling and climbing from a high cliff, etc, etc.

As much as Razlov want to train the cadets in more wider fields, he is limited by resources or more like limited in money since he couldn't buy the all the equipment necessary for their training even though its just needed one press to buy. He could only provide limited resources right now but in the future when they are already starting earning money those types of equipment would no longer be a problem.

He once heard from a mercenary back at the Mercenary guild in Sanloris that in wars they could earn as much as thousands of golds and depending on the situation it could even reach tens of thousands of gold.

That's why all he could do right now is be patient as there will come a time that he would be able to provide the necessary training and equipment.

After two whole weeks of firearms training, Razlov started giving lessons again to the cadets but this time it's different. Previously the cadets were learning how to read and write and the basic protocol of the military but this time they are about to start learning of how to use call signs, about phonetic alphabets and codes, and character encoding like 'Morse code' for communication whether it is a normal or an encrypted message.

For these lessons, Razlov bought the necessary equipment for them to study like the telegraph for sending morse code and a multi-band handheld radios with matching earpiece as the static of radio will create noises that will give out its location.

Razlov decided that morse code is the most appropriate means of communication for them as there is a long distance between the island and the mainland; more than 150km. Radio communication requires a large power of electricity and frequency to send radio waves over a long distance while Morse code has a low requirement of electricity and frequency needed to send radio waves since it's only code signals that are being transmitted rather than actual conversation.

He would also need to set up communication stations on the island and various places like Sanloris. But that is a matter in the future when he has already enough money, right now all he can afford is multi-band handheld radio used for field communication, telegraph for transmitting Morse code and a small radio tower.

Now, Razlov has only 40 CP left after all the spending he did and even after all of that spending he still could not provide equipment for every single cadet. If he manages to equip every one of them, their efficiency would definitely rose up and they would be able to do missions simultaneously while maintaining close communication with each other or to the command center.

Razlov could only sigh at how poor he was. The lack of money is what keeps him from providing good quality equipment for the cadets even the AK-47 that they are using right now is not the most suitable weapon for its low accuracy especially in long-distance shooting although it has high penetration capabilities it would be useless if you cannot hit your target.

There's also another issue which is 'self-sufficiency' regarding weapons and ammunition. Right now, Razlov is buying all of it in the system's Item shop which is not good in the long run. That's why in the future, Razlov's plans to create their own weapons and ammunition factory or rather their own arsenal.

The cadets continue to study and learn all the things Razlov have taught them. At first, they were all having a hard time remembering all that he taught them but eventually they manage to remember and learn it.

Then after 5 straight days of lesson Razlov implemented all the cadets have learned during the lessons while doing firearms training.

"This is fireteam leader; I'm in position." Adam said through the radio.

""I'm also in position"" said the other members

"Ready your weapons, on my signal"

"GO!, GO!, GO!"

"Breaching, Breaching"

"Tatatata!!!"

Hearing the sound of the guns firing and observing the cadets, Razlov nodded in satisfaction at their teamwork.

The cadets were amazed at how it is easy to communicate with each other without shouting by using the radio. It also made their teamwork even more in sync and flued.

After each fireteam had each taken their turns of using the radio, Razlov called them over for an announcement at the training field.

When the cadets arrive at the training field they immediately formed a line in an orderly fashion.

Razlov went up the platform and look carefully at the 20 cadets.

"After more than two months of training and learning, today will mark the end of it. All of you have already completed the Army Basic Combat Training and tomorrow will be your graduation day."

He looks at the cadets and seeing that they did not make a commotion and only stayed silent made Razlov nodded approvingly. This indicates that they are disciplined soldiers but Razlov know that deep inside they are truly happy.

"But the training doesn't end just there. Like the name of this training program 'Army Basic Combat Training', this means that what you all have learned are only the basics and there more specialize training program for you attend but of course, this training program will be voluntary instead of compulsory. This means that it will be up to you whether you want to undergo this kind of training program or not."

At first, when the cadets heard that 'the training doesn't end', although they manage to hide their anxiousness in their faces their eyes did not. But after they heard the 'voluntary' word, all of them heave a sigh of relief in their hearts.

"So tomorrow you all have to take a bath and dress up in your officer uniform. As tomorrow will be your graduation day."

"Oh, before I forgot. If you want to, you can bring your families here on the island since this island is too big for us to occupy alone. So why not bring your family members here and let them reclaim the lands around here or you can also let your families establish a fishing village here on the island if you don't want to reclaim any lands. That way, you won't have to travel far just to see your families and it would also make the island livelier than just us living here."

After making his announcement, Razlov dismissed the cadets and went to the cafeteria to tell Carla and the other cooks that they should prepare a sumptuous meal tomorrow for the graduation party.

As they heard what Razlov said. The cadets started to consider whether it is good to bring their families here on the island.

From the two months of staying here on the island, they could see that their families would be able to live here since there are drinkable water and food on this island or they could just do some fishing and they would have enough food. They could also reclaim the lands nearby to provide enough food so that they would not only be eating fish and fruits. Their life on the island would probably be easier than their life in the slums since almost all of the cadets that Razlov recruited are from the slums of Sanloris.

It didn't take long of deliberation before almost all the cadets decided to try to bring their families on the island as they still need to convince their families to follow them and as for the others, they are still hesitating.
