The loud music from the speaker interrupted Wang Genbao's thoughts." He looked up and saw that it was the Black Water Army's turn to enter the venue. He saw that in the doorway made of bamboo with many flowers on the side of the command platform, the Black Water Army was lined up neatly. In front of it was a bright red flag raised high. The words "Zhoushan Self-Defense Regiment Black Water Army Battalion" appeared from time to time with the breeze…Wang Genbao knew that this was the name of the team that everyone had discussed at that time. The Self-Defense Regiment had saved this name for the Black Water Army. He was so excited that he kept thanking Big Boss Xu Bao!

Following behind the red flag were three rows of Black Water Army troops in black clothes and pants, with a small triangular red scarf around their necks and straw sandals on their feet. In front of them were people with spears in their hands, and behind them were people with snow-white sabers in one hand and round Teng cards in the other. It turned out that these guns were given by the Self-Defense Regiment. They had replaced the original muskets. The brothers of the Black Water Army were very grateful for this. With these guns, they would be more confident in fighting the foreign devils in the future! Some of the brothers even cried bitterly after they got the guns. They sobbed and said that if they had such guns earlier, their good brothers would not have died so early…

Seeing the team that was now known as the Black Water Army first come to the command platform and pay tribute to the big leaders on the stage, then go around the exercise ground to pay tribute to the surrounding crowd, the villagers at the side immediately waved their hands to welcome them! The villagers in the distance were also discussing.

"Look! Those were the Black Water Gang who killed the foreign devils!”

"Look! They were all dressed in black! They all looked like the Black Fiend God who had descended to the mortal world!”

There were also some who felt a little regretful.

"No wonder they are so good at killing foreign devils! It was a pity that there were too few people. Otherwise, how would those foreign devils dare to attack? You even occupied this Sea Calming Sea?"

The people who were listening to him were not convinced.

"Isn't there a self-defense group now? Those foreign devils were still killed!”

There were also people who argued,

"Who do you think is stronger, the Self-Defense Forces or the Black Water Gang?”

Immediately, someone asked as if he was an idiot,"

"Why are you so stupid? Aren't they eating in the same pot now? Who was stronger? I think they're all powerful!"

Someone analyzed,"

"I think this self-defense regiment is amazing! Otherwise, why would the Black Water Party join them?”

Someone immediately agreed.

"Yes, yes, yes! I think so too!"

"Alright! Stop arguing and look! He's already here!"

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted,"

"Everyone, look! Aren't they the Bao brothers who captured the white devils on Green Ridge?”

"Where, where?"

"Which one?"

Some people recognized him."

"Yes! It was him! It had been years since she last saw him! Her expression was still the same, there wasn't much change! However, she looked even more impressive in this black dress!”

"You guys are talking about the incident at Beimen Mountain. He killed a black ghost and captured a white ghost and sent him to the mainland government. His house was burned down by the white ghost and his entire family was sent to prison. The young man who rescued all 27 Bao clansmen captured by the British army?”

"Yes! This old uncle, how could he remember so clearly?”

"Oh! We can spread this matter in detail over there! Everyone admired their family! And that cousin of his! He was also a powerful figure! Unfortunately, he didn't know her. He wondered if she was also in the Black Water Army.”

"I've only heard about that. I really don't know him. I'll definitely ask him when I have the chance!”

"That's what I meant too. You don't know, but after my child heard about this, he kept asking around and wanted to learn a skill! After running to a few places, they were all empty! It was said that Xia Xiaobai's family was very poor, but he had a chivalrous heart and the ability to fly on roofs and walk on walls. At that time, Xiang had snuck into Denglong Bridge Prison alone and saved her family! Unfortunately, there was no news of them. So they had run to the Black Water Army. How could they find them again? I can't lose this opportunity now. Otherwise, my child will definitely blame me…"

At this moment, someone from the side suddenly interrupted,

"Uncle! Then you might as well send your children to the Black Water Army. Not only can they learn their skills, but I also heard that they will soon learn to read and write in the future!”

"Oh? Where did you hear that…How could this brave soldier let them learn to read?”

"It's what the person who supported the ferry boat said. He also said a lot about the Black Water Army! This is the first time we've heard of some of them. If you don't believe me, you can ask him yourself!”

Suddenly, someone else interrupted,

"I think it's better to join the Self-Defense Corps! Think about it, ever since we came to the Self-Defense Forces, when have we ever lived such a good life? No one dares to bully us anymore! Those bullies were so scared that they didn't dare to come out. It turned out that all the foreign devils in the city had been arrested! I also heard that they are about to go out and eliminate all those foreign devils! If you want to be a soldier, you have to be a soldier of this self-defense regiment!”

Someone immediately agreed.

"This self-defense regiment is really not bad! They even helped us fix the door and windows. It turns out that the roof keeps leaking when it rains. They fixed it as soon as they arrived! If I had children, I would definitely let them join the self-defense group. I don't worry about these people!”

"That's true! It turned out that the people who smoked here were disgusting. Now, look, as soon as the Self-Defense Forces came, they forced these people to quit! The outside world didn't even allow them to buy and sell this big smoke. How many people had they saved! For example, my neighbor Ah San, who went to this smoking house every day, pawned all the valuable things in the house to smoke. His mother was so angry that she went crazy! Now, he was locked up by the Self-Defense Forces and was trying to quit smoking. He even sent this doctor to treat his mother and gave her food and supplies without charging a single cent! Where else in the world would there be a self-defense group that was so considerate to us poor people? This is to let us poor people live a good life!”

It turned out that the old uncle didn't know who to listen to after hearing everyone's words.

"I say, fellow villagers, I'm confused by your words. After hearing what everyone said, it seems that both teams are very good, but I only have one person who wants to be a soldier.”

"Be a black water army! The Black Water Army is good!"

"Become a self-defense regiment! The Self-Defense Forces are a force that truly cares about us civilians!”

"Black Water Army is good!"

"Self-Defense Corps is good!"

"Black Water Army is good!"

"The Self-Defense Force is good!"

….

The two groups of people that the hosts thought highly of became excited and wanted to fight for this old uncle!

At this moment, a village chief noticed the abnormality here and hurriedly ran over. After asking about the whole story, he laughed so hard that he could not even stand steadily."You guys! He really had nothing better to do! Wasn't the Black Water Army a part of the Self-Defense Forces now? You joined the Black Water Army, which means you joined the Self-Defense Army! I thought it was something. Alright, let's go! Take a good look at how the Self-Defense Forces are practicing!”

It turned out that with these few people stirring up trouble, the Black Water Army's show had long ended! Now it was the turn of the Self-Defense Forces to make their appearance!

When the Self-Defense Forces appeared, Wang Genbao recognized Li Hailong and Zhao Liang who were walking in front of the team. Thinking that he could guess some of the actions of the Self-Defense Forces, Wang Genbao was a little proud. However, he could only be surprised. It turned out that the troops that appeared this time were all transmigrators. The weapons they held were the same 56 and a half series. The bright bayonet was so dazzling that people did not dare to look at it. The members were dressed in camouflage uniforms, armed belts around their waists, hanging grenades, wearing training shoes on their feet, and wearing steel helmets on their heads. They looked as capable as they could be! Moreover, when he walked, he only heard a sound, as if there was only one person walking…

The audience, which had been discussing animatedly, suddenly fell silent with the appearance of the Self-Defense Forces! Everyone was shocked by this image…Even the noisiest children widened their eyes and forgot to make noise…

Li Hailong and Zhao Liang, who were leading the team, watched all of this. The fatigue and mental pressure brought about by the continuous training in the recent period were now swept away! Most of all, he felt gratified that his efforts had been recognized by everyone! They were even more happy for the good performance of their team members.

Until Li Hailong and Zhao Liang led the team around the field and returned to the command platform, and then entered the designated positions, everyone still had not recovered from their shock!

Li Hailong, Zhao Liang, and the others returned to the command platform and reported the situation to Chief Commander Wang. Then, they sat in their seats. Now that they had gotten to know the leaders of the Black Water Party, they were no longer as excited as when they first met. After greeting each other, they waited for the official start of the exercise.

At this moment, the leaders of the Black Water Party sitting on the stage finally realized the true strength of the Self-Defense Forces. Just from the appearance of these soldiers, their own people could not even be ranked as soldiers, let alone those weapons. Now, they truly recognized this Self-Defense Forces from the bottom of their hearts…They were also glad that they could become a member of it…

Just as someone said the word " be good " and before he could continue, Commander Wang had already given the order " begin the exercise "!

It was time for the drill team to appear again. Then, they first performed some group activities in front of the command desk, such as lining up, marching, military boxing exercises, and so on. It made everyone's sensory organs accept the test again...

With the three red flares in the air, the real exercise began. The leaders of the Black Water Party received a notice for the exercise: Many of the projects that were originally scheduled were now canceled at the last minute. The reason was very simple. The command center had received news that an emergency had occurred at Ganlan on Zhoushan Island. A group of unidentified armed forces had suddenly landed there, killed, and looted. They had to send troops there next. In order to preserve the strength of the soldiers, they had no choice but to take such measures!
