The Long Formation Conference Room was filled with smoke. Nearly 20 senior generals were sitting there. They came from various military regions, including several garrisons. Some came to support their generals, and some came to learn from and study the highest-level confrontation in the military.
But without exception, their focus was on the battle between the Long Formation Battalion Leader, Jiang Qing, and the tactical expert, Wei Jiang. As for the group of veterans led by Xiao Zheng —
No one denied Xiao Zheng's military talent. During his two years in the 10,000-years-old Army, although he did not have many opportunities to show it, everyone in the room believed that if Xiao Zheng did not commit a crime and was dismissed, his influence and reputation in the military would not be lower than Wei Jiang's. Even entering the Long Formation was a piece of cake for him.
Of course, Xiao Zheng had also made a name for himself in the military. He also entered the Long Formation, and even directly entered the management, with the halo of an honorary instructor. However, he took the unorthodox way, or even the back door. He did not make it through the regular way.
For thousands of years, Hua Xia had been paying attention to legitimacy. Xiao Zheng had the status and influence he had today. Indeed, he lacked an opportunity to prove himself.
Today's autumn maneuver was an opportunity.
An opportunity provided by General Qi for him!
An opportunity to prove his ability to the entire military!
He did not need to win. As long as he could create a living space between the two strong teams and lead the veterans to a beautiful battle. That was victory. It was more dazzling than winning the championship.
"Old Jiang. Your favorite disciple is going to fight in person. You won't just watch and not bet, right? "An old general with eyes like an eagle took a drag of his cigarette and looked at General Jiang with a Smile.
"No." General Jiang had not been so excited for many years.
Xiao Zheng led a team that was about to retire to the second line. It seemed that the resources were not matched, and there was no chance of winning. He was even criticized by the generals as a sh * t-stirrer. But what Xiao Zheng lacked was an opportunity.
He did not expect Xiao Zheng to win the actual battle. As long as he could perform well in the battle, he would have a bright future in the military.
The position of Long Formation instructor. From a certain perspective, it was a negotiation and compromise between him and General Qi. General Qi needed Xiao Zheng. General Jiang wanted to fight for a new future for Xiao Zheng. The Long Formation was the perfect springboard.
"How boring." General Ying shook his head and drank a mouthful of tea. "Everyone, I favor Wei Jiang this time. In terms of experience and qualifications, he could be considered Jiang Qing's senior. In terms of tactics, he could be considered a genius player. Jiang Qing was not weak, and he had the support of the Long Formation Warriors. But they had to win in this exercise. It's very difficult. "
He explained the situation of the battle and then pointed at the sand table on his desk. "I firmly believe that the Long Formation will be wiped out by noon at most. They will be forced into a corner by Wei Jiang."
General Qi sneered, "Old Peng. It's true that Wei Jiang is your favorite general. But you're still speaking in a bureaucratic tone here, saying some high-sounding words. Isn't that too much? "
General Ying chuckled and said, "Old Qi, I'm just speaking the truth. I don't mean to look down on the Long Formation. Besides, your Long Formation won ten championships in a row. It doesn't matter if you lose one, does it? "
"The Long Formation is the highest lecture hall in the army. It has never lost, and it won't lose. "General Qi lit a cigarette and said calmly. "Instead of discussing how Jiang Qing and Wei Jiang will fight, let's see how well they'll fight. Why don't we see how Xiao Zheng will perform in this actual battle? "
"Yes. Xiao Zheng does have some military talent. If he had brought an elite general with him, it would indeed affect the outcome to a large extent. But this is also the reason why we accepted the formation of three teams this year. General Eagle smiled faintly. "He is the Long Formation instructor after all. If he has fierce generals under his command and is biased, wouldn't Wei Jiang be fighting one against two? "
After a pause, General Ying continued, "In my opinion, even if Xiao Zheng commands well, I'm afraid he'll lose more than half of his men in the first confrontation. Then, he'll engage in guerrilla warfare and stall for time. It'll be difficult for him to influence the overall situation. Even Han Xin wants to have as many soldiers as possible. No matter how talented Xiao Zheng is, he has no soldiers to use. What can he do? "
The generals in the conference room were divided into two factions. One faction favored Wei Jiang. They also wanted to vent their anger on Wei Jiang and the other military regions. The other faction was led by General Jiang and General Qi. They spoke with their strength. They spoke with their past records. They didn't flatter him or beat him to death. Impartiality.
Seeing his beloved disciple being mocked by General Ying, General Jiang, who always played the good guy, snorted. "Although I don't like to boast, if Wei Jiang wants to defeat Xiao Zheng's team, he must pay a price." It's impossible not to pay a price. "General Jiang, who was outstanding in military affairs, paused for a moment before he continued. "Old Peng. Leading troops to war doesn't rely entirely on military strength. Command, morale, and dispatch are all indispensable. Otherwise, how could there be so many classic examples in history of winning with fewer troops? "
General Ying smiled and didn't bicker with General Jiang. He had faith in General Jiang's ability to lead troops. Although his military rank was lower than everyone else's. His prestige in the military was extremely high. Many of the young and strong leaders had been trained by him. They had to be impressed.
Furthermore, he had a reason to bicker with General Qi. It wasn't malicious, but he wanted to get back at him after suffering for so many years. It was a healthy competition. There was no conflict between him and General Jiang, so why did he have to fight until his neck was red?
To be able to hold an important position in the military, how could he not have some tricks and brains, and only know how to act recklessly?
"Let's just wait and see." General Qi took a puff of his cigarette and said with a smile. "Although Wei Jiang is outstanding. But the soldiers I lead aren't to be trifled with. "
…
The drill started at 9: 30 am sharp. There was no time limit. If they couldn't finish, they would fight through the night. With the physical strength of this group of super soldiers, it wouldn't be a problem even if they fought for three days and three nights.
But based on past experience, this land battle of the highest level in the military would basically end before dinner.
At 8 am, the soldiers of each team gathered at the Long Formation cafeteria for breakfast. The atmosphere was heavy and solemn even before they entered the battlefield. Not to mention that they each had their own formation, even the veterans led by Xiao Zheng and the elites under Jiang Qing, although they all belonged to the Long Formation. Today, they didn't communicate at all. Even if they met face to face, they deliberately avoided eye contact. They showed a tough attitude.
The soldiers each had their own formation, but the three captains were arranged by their superiors to eat at the same table. It was subtle and tempting.
Wei Jiang was 32 years old. Colonel. He was also a young leading officer like Jiang Qing. He was highly valued by the military, and his future was bound to be bright. Xiao Zheng also obtained the rank of major. But he didn't have any soldiers under him, and he didn't have actual command. Basically, he was a low-level government official. If he couldn't produce outstanding results. In the future, he would only be further and further away from these two, and there would be no intersection.
Wei Jiang, with a resolute expression, drank a mouthful of porridge, and glanced at Xiao Zheng with an expressionless face. His thin lips slightly pursed. "Instructor Xiao. Please be tactful when you go to the battlefield. Just do your job as a green leaf. Don't let your imagination run wild. Maybe in this way, I will save some face for you. "
