But when Cheng Dongming listened to Zhao Zhongyao's story, he couldn't help but ask again: "Director Zhao, you said that you became a professor at Jiang Institute of Technology at the age of twenty-two, what is going on!"

After hearing this, Zhao Zhongyao smiled and said: "This matter is quite complicated, and I am afraid that I will not be able to finish talking about it in a few words! Now that you are about to go to the exercise site, you don't have much time left, and we will talk about it again when we have a chance in the future!"

Cheng Dongming saw that Zhao Zhongyao didn't want to say how he became a professor at such a young age, and he didn't want to ask anything, after all, people didn't want to say, why do you have to know!

"Oh, I'm sorry, but I won't talk about you being a professor. Let's talk about this exercise!" Cheng Dongming saw that Zhao Zhongyao was reluctant to say anything, and it was not good to ask any more, so he changed the topic and began to talk about the exercise he was going to face now.

"Okay, Master Cheng, I don't know, what are your plans this time! You also know that your opponent this time is not just Li Tianhong! There are also two military industry experts! They are also from military backgrounds, so they know too well about the exercise!"

Zhao Zhongyao also knew that this time Sun Guowei and Yao Hongjun were helping Li Tianhong to deal with Cheng Dongming! These two people were not easy to deal with!

Although last time, he helped Yan Mingcheng defeat the two of them, but at that time, the two of them were not together, they were in two armored divisions, and they also participated in two exercises and had a contest with them!

But this time it's different. The two guys were beaten together, and it was not easy to deal with now. As the saying goes, 'three stinkers, one Zhuge Liang'. The two of them plus Li Tianhong, the three of them were beaten together, but it was really difficult to deal with!

"I'm also worried about this! I've also heard that Sun Guowei is a combat hero! He has been on the battlefield and made meritorious contributions! I'm afraid that such a person will not be easy to deal with!" Cheng Dongming listened to Zhao Zhongyao's words. He also said helplessly.

Actually, he didn't have any good way to do it himself! After all, it was just a drill! And it wasn't really a war. Cheng Dongming really doesn't pay much attention to it!

"Senior Commander Cheng, why don't you attach importance to this exercise? Why don't you have your own exercise strategy!" Zhao Zhongyao listened to Cheng Dongming's words, and he felt a little puzzled. I don't understand, a division commander is about to participate in a military exercise, how can he not pay attention to it at all!

"Director Zhao, is this just an ordinary exercise? If you lose, you will lose. I don't care!" Cheng Dongming looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said his views on this exercise. It makes people feel that he does not attach importance to this exercise at all, and feels that he participates in the exercise. It's just to complete the tasks of the superiors!

"Division Commander Cheng, why don't you attach importance to this exercise? Do you know that this exercise has a bearing on your future?" Zhao Zhongyao had participated in two exercises with Yan Mingcheng before, and he knew that although the higher-level leaders did not say what the real purpose of this exercise was. But after the exercise, all rewards and punishments can be carried out according to the results of the exercise.

Yan Ming's achievements were due to the victory in those two exercises, so he removed the hat of the acting division commander and became an official division commander!

In fact, Yan Mingcheng didn't pay much attention to those two exercises at first, but it was Zhao Zhongyao who reminded him to pay attention to them. Go all out with Zhao Zhongyao. Defeated Yao Hongjun and Sun Guowei!

The final result was that Sun Guowei and Yao Hongjun were transferred to local military factories by their superiors, but Yan Mingcheng became an official division commander!

"Director Zhao, what do you mean by that? Isn't this just an ordinary exercise, how can it be related to my future!" Cheng Dongming still couldn't understand Zhao Zhongyao's words, and felt that he was a little alarmist!

"Master Cheng, you don't know yet! Now the higher-level leaders only need to conduct one exercise. That is, it is necessary to promote some young cadres and eliminate some old cadres! Young cadres like you are naturally among the personnel that the higher-level leaders want to promote and reuse!

Why would your superiors make you an acting division commander? That's the trust in you! I think you're capable, and I want to promote you.

But if you want to reuse you, you must also have the ability to show your superiors! Whether you have the ability or not is not up to you! This will have to be proved through a drill!

The purpose of the higher-level leaders asking you to participate in this exercise this time is to test you and see if you are qualified for the position of division commander! If you win this exercise, then you will be officially appointed as division commander! But if you lose this exercise, then you may have to be your regiment commander again!

And if Li Tianhong loses this time, then he will not be able to be the division commander! He can only be transferred to a local job like Sun Guowei and Yao Hongjun! But if he wins this exercise, then he will be awesome and may be promoted!

Therefore, this exercise is related to the future of both of you. This is by no means an ordinary exercise, it is part of an army reform!"

Zhao Zhongyao saw that Cheng Dongming did not attach much importance to this exercise, so he said a lot of enlightening words.

As soon as Cheng Dongming heard it, he felt a little enlightened. It's really like clearing the clouds and seeing the day!

"Director Zhao, you really woke up the dreamer with a word! Hearing you say this, I feel that this exercise is very important!"

Before Cheng Dongming, he felt that this exercise was just a test exercise of a new weapon, and it had little to do with his future at all. But after listening to Zhao Zhongyao's words, he understood that this exercise had another deep meaning!

"Yes! Higher-level leaders must have many purposes for doing something. It can't be a single purpose. Otherwise, then you are not worthy of being a leader. When a leader does things, he has to spend a lot of things at one time. This is a capable leader!

As you know, every exercise costs a lot of military spending! Higher-level leaders can't spend huge sums of money just to test new weapons! They must have many purposes in doing so!

Zhao Zhongyao told Cheng Dongming what he thought again.

After Cheng Dongming heard this, he believed Zhao Zhongyao's words more and more.

"What Director Zhao said is great, I also thought it was too simple before! This time, I must attach importance to this exercise, and I must defeat Li Tianhong!"

After Zhao Zhongyao's enlightenment, Cheng Dongming was also determined to defeat his opponent in the exercise. Otherwise, he wouldn't even be the acting division commander.

"Good. Division Commander Cheng, let's study the combat plan for this exercise together!" Zhao Zhongyao saw that Cheng Dongming understood what he said, and he wanted to study the plan for this exercise with Cheng Dongming.

"Director Zhao, do you already have a good plan!" Cheng Dongming listened to Zhao Zhongyao's words, and felt that he might have already thought of a good plan.

"Division Commander Cheng, where is this exercise going on!" Zhao Zhongyao knew that the terrain of the exercise had a great deal to do with the success of the exercise.

During the last exercise, Sun Guowei thought that the position he occupied was very good, and it was an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, so he deployed six lines of defense. Don't worry about boldly starting to smoke and chat with one of his regiment leaders named Ma Daha!

But when Yan Mingcheng suddenly appeared in front of him like a god, he was dumbfounded.

He couldn't understand why the dangerous terrain he occupied couldn't stop Yan Mingcheng's sneak attack!

All this is that Zhao Zhongyao was very clear about the terrain occupied by Sun Guowei before, so he had already prepared for a sneak attack. In advance, Yan Mingcheng had already made some rafts and placed them in the forest opposite the puddle.

When the drill starts. Yan Mingcheng and a dozen warriors climbed from the back of the 168 Heights to the top of the mountain on a raft.

Of course, there is another important point, that is, Zhao Zhongyao uses a new type of communication radio developed by himself. The signalman of Sun Guowei's ordinary radio station was developed.

When Sun Guowei's communications troops saw Yan Mingcheng and those soldiers and wanted to report to Sun Guowei, they couldn't communicate with Sun Guowei! Unable to communicate, they had no choice but to watch Yan Mingcheng and the dozen or so fighters. From the back of the mountain, he climbed to the top of the mountain, and then directly surrounded Sun Guowei and Ma Daha. The two of them had to surrender!

Zhao Zhongyao drew an experience from the last exercise. In what kind of terrain are the exercises conducted. What kind of solution should I use?

In doing things, we must combine them with reality! In particular, we must proceed from the field in such a way as conducting exercises and fighting wars. Instead of just sitting in the room and taking it for granted some battle plan!

Cheng Dongming listened to Zhao Zhongyao's question, and he really couldn't answer for a while.

This is because he still does not know the specific location of the exercise! The higher-level leaders only said where they were in some mountainous areas, and said that they would not be notified until the moment when the exercise troops set off!

The army is the army, and secrecy discipline is the first thing.

Although a troop exercise is an exercise, the requirements are the same as fighting a war. If the troops are going to ambush, how can they tell the soldiers where they are going to fight a long time ago? Is this also a military secret? Only at the moment of departure will the soldiers be told!

In fact, even if the troops really go to war, they will not directly tell the soldiers below that they will go to fight that day!

If that's the case, wouldn't it have been leaked a long time ago!

Therefore, even if the troops really want to go there to fight, they will not directly notify the troops below. It is to convince the soldiers that the troops are not going to fight, but to exercise.

When the leaders of the troops say this, one is from the perspective of secrecy and discipline, and the other is that if you directly tell the soldiers where the troops are going to fight tomorrow, won't that make some soldiers very afraid?

There are some timid soldiers who may even become deserters! In that case, it is equivalent to saying that the troops have not yet gone to the battlefield and may have lost a lot of troops.

Therefore, if the troops want to fight, they also mean where they want to go for exercises. And not to say that it is a real war!

But it doesn't matter if it's a drill or a real war. Higher-level leaders must abide by the discipline of confidentiality and not tell everyone first. I will tell you when you are ready and go to the exercise site!

It's the same now, Cheng Mingdong's troops are going to a certain place for exercises. But until now, he doesn't know exactly where to go! Only tomorrow when the troops are assembled at the gate will the higher leaders inform them!

Thinking of this, Cheng Mingdong said to Zhao Zhongyao helplessly: "Director Zhao, I'm sorry, I don't know the location of the exercise we are going to yet! I won't know until tomorrow morning!"

"That's right! Then I won't be able to make a plan for the exercise. If we don't have a topographic map, how can I make a plan for the exercise! Let's wait until we get to the exercise site together!"

Zhao Zhongyao knew that in order to formulate a plan for the exercise, the first thing is to understand the situation at the exercise site, and if he does not understand the situation at the scene, then how can he formulate a combat plan!

"Okay, let's go to the exercise site together tomorrow!" Cheng Mingdong listened to Zhao Zhongyao's words, and he had no choice but to wait until tomorrow to discuss the exercise plan.

"Okay, that's all. Zhao Zhongyao had no choice but to say this-

The next day, the weather was good, and Zhao Zhongyao got up early. He did not return to Jiang Gongda, but lived in a guest house in Cheng Mingdong's army. Because he will be at the exercise site tomorrow, Zhao Zhongyao doesn't want to run back and forth. So he stayed in the army's guest house.

After Zhao Zhongyao got up, the soldiers of the army had all assembled on a cement road at the gate one by one in full gear according to Cheng Mingdong's order.

Although they were infantrymen, they didn't walk to the exercise site.

The modern army has long been the era of motorization. Even if the equipment of the Chinese army is not the best in the world, ordinary infantry units still have vehicles. Going to the exercise site is also a motorized march, so it can't be driven by the '11'!

Now tens of thousands of troops are gathered at the gate of the army, a straight road, from the gate of the east gate to the westernmost part of the army compound, about a kilometer long!

These fighters are all holding the 'AZ-47' assault rifle developed by Zhao Zhongyao, which is the world's most famous 'AK-47' assault rifle before Zhao Zhongyao's death.

More than 10,000 soldiers, neatly lined up on a straight cement road, and all of them held brand-new 'AZ-47' assault rifles with jet-black and shiny hands, that kind of scene was really shocking! Zhao Zhongyao had never seen such a scene! (To be continued......
