Accompanied by the sound of P5092 and the others in the meeting, Ren Xiaosu started reading the newspaper calmly. His deputy commander next to him thought to himself, 'Aren't you being too friendly? Do you think you can just listen to military secrets? Can't you just avoid it?'
However, when he remembered P5092 said he wanted to instigate a defection, he shut his mouth and did not say anything.
Ren Xiaosu was reading the newspaper. In the past, Hope Media's newspaper had 16 pages. But now, its content had been temporarily expanded to 24 pages. Eight of them were about the war in order to provide a comprehensive report on it.
To Ren Xiaosu's surprise, the newspaper actually reported that Fortress 178 had also sent troops to the Central Plains. They were expected to arrive in seven days, and the commander of Fortress 178, Zhang Jinglin, had already held a conference call with Wang Shengzhi to come up with a joint battle plan.
In this piece of news, Ren Xiaosu was surprised to see Brigade Commander Zhang Xiaoman's name. He thought to himself, 'Wasn't Zhang Xiaoman getting promoted too quickly? He's already become a brigade commander?
But the barbarians were not easy to deal with. I wonder if the troops from the Northwest have any good countermeasures? ' To be honest, Ren Xiaosu was a little tempted to leave the Pyro Company and join forces with Fortress 178.
How could fighting alongside the Pyro Company be as satisfying as fighting alongside their brothers from the Northwest?
Ren Xiaosu got up and left. He said goodbye to P5092, who was in the middle of a meeting, "I'm leaving."
P5092 said with a smile, "Drop by often."
This casual greeting was like an old friend bidding farewell to the boss of a noodle shop he frequented.
After Ren Xiaosu left, his deputy commander could not help but say, "Sir, why do you think so highly of that kid?"
"Let's continue the meeting." P5092 said calmly, "In my opinion, the plan to instigate him to defect to our side is very necessary. The 3rd Division lacks high-end individual combat power, so we can't always rely on those special forces, right? I've already applied to headquarters to send a T5 combatant over. But the problem is that there are so many of our main forces, so everyone's applying for it."
Times had changed. As a high-ranking officer with war wisdom, P5092 naturally knew that high-end combatants could also play a great role in group warfare. That was why he was so eager to instigate Ren Xiaosu to defect.
Furthermore, he was holding the meeting in front of Ren Xiaosu because he thought even if he did not succeed in instigating a rebellion, Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin would at least know what the Pyro Company was preparing to do if they really got into a fight.
The good thing about this war was that they did not have to worry about spies. At least the barbarians did not have time to develop spies.
On the way back to the field hospital, Ren Xiaosu muttered to Yang Xiaojin, "Don't you think P5092's attitude towards me is a little strange?"
"I can tell." Yang Xiaojin said nonchalantly, "He even allowed you to sit in on the meeting where the officers were formulating their battle plans. It'd be a lie if I said it wasn't strange."
"And he even gave me my P5 military ID and allowed me to freely enter and leave the military base," Ren Xiaosu continued muttering.
"What are you trying to say?" Yang Xiaojin raised an eyebrow.
Ren Xiaosu pondered it for a moment. "Could he like me? That won't do. I have to find a chance to tell him that I already have someone I like. "
Yang Xiaojin said, "… Is that what you think?"
"Ahem, I'm just joking." Ren Xiaosu said, "I mean, could that guy have already guessed that we helped him at Mt. Dashi and the forward operating base?"
"That's possible." Yang Xiaojin said, "After all, we were suspected of going out of the forward operating base to gather medicinal herbs at Mt. Dashi."
"So he guessed that we were the two snipers." Ren Xiaosu nodded. "Then he might have guessed that we're from the Northwest just like Wang Yun?"
Yang Xiaojin frowned. She could not rule out that possibility either.
Ren Xiaosu continued, "So now that he's showing his goodwill to us and allowing us to freely enter and leave, he's even letting us sit in on the military meeting. He might be thinking of … rejuvenating the Northwest?"
In Ren Xiaosu's opinion, if the other party had already guessed their identities and was still showing such goodwill, it was as though he was saying, "Instigate me, quickly instigate me!"
In Ren Xiaosu's mind, P5092 had become a good comrade who wanted to take the initiative to rejuvenate the Northwest. He had never thought that the other party was actually trying to instigate him to defect.
Ren Xiaosu had not even considered this at all!
What he did not know was that although P5092 was talented at commanding, he did not have a strong memory like Wang Yun. From a different perspective, P5092 was a tactical genius on the macro side, while Wang Yun's abilities focused on the details. They were completely different.
Therefore, P5092 did not know that Ren Xiaosu belonged to the Northwest. He was purely trying to instigate Ren Xiaosu to defect to him.
When they returned to the field hospital in the evening, Ren Xiaosu saw a group of students gathered at the entrance of the field hospital. They were being held back by a platoon inside.
These students had all been assigned to the field hospital to receive some simple medical training before the full-scale war broke out. When the war started, they would become the most basic medical personnel and be responsible for cleaning and bandaging some simple wounds.
Although it seemed a little rushed to train them, the problem was that they had no other choice. They could not possibly be allowed to continue singing and dancing at the front lines in the north, right?
At this moment, a Pyro Company soldier explained in a loud voice, "Martial law has been imposed on the field hospital. Everyone is not allowed to leave the field hospital after 7 PM. Our military base is right outside, and this matter involves military secrets, so we can't accommodate you."
One of the students shouted, "Why are we locked inside? We just want to visit the Great Wall."
"Sorry, we can't do that," the Pyro Company soldier said.
Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin did not say anything and went straight into the field hospital. They headed straight for their temporary dormitory. When some of the students saw them, they asked the Pyro Company soldier, "Didn't the two of them just go out? Why can they go in but we can't?"
However, the Pyro Company soldier said, "They're friends of our 3rd Division's commander, and they even have black IDs with them. If you also have black IDs, you can also go in and out freely."
The students were speechless. They had all come to the North together, so how did that young man become a friend of the 3rd Division's commander? Also, what the hell was that black ID? No one had ever heard of it before.
Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin did not care about this. When they returned to the entrance of their tent, Yang Xiaojin went straight into her tent. Ren Xiaosu also planned to go in with her.
However, Yang Xiaojin turned around and said with a half-smile, "Why are you going into my tent? Your tent is right next to mine. You're not allowed to enter my tent."
Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment and said, "I have a little black ID. They said I can go in and out of the military base freely with this ID."
Yang Xiaojin stared at him with a smile without saying anything. In the end, Ren Xiaosu admitted defeat and went back to his tent.
