The report of the motorized unit received considerable attention, and a group of generals who did not personally participate in the exercise of the century raised many questions, and Lieutenant Colonel Qi Rui answered them according to the content of the exercise that had already been conducted.

Perhaps wanting to completely dispel the pain, Qi Rui's attention was extraordinarily focused. Now that his attention is highly concentrated, Qi Rui can even feel where his rationality lies. It's something that has nothing to do with the flesh, it's simple, calm, logical, and even has an eternal flavor. And the flesh on which reason rests is so active, so unpredictable, so impulsive, so vulnerable. This uncertainty of the physical senses brought Qi Rui all kinds of excitement and even pain.

No matter how much pain the body brings to Qi Rui, a drill with too much content still needs the brain in the body to store information. Too much information to memorize, too much information to be sorted out and combined according to the situation at the time, and even to make improvisational judgments.

Qi Rui found that he had never been in such a state, and for the first time, reason prevailed over emotion. This is of course the first time that he is well prepared, and the information and intelligence that those generals who once made Qi Rui feel unattainable are under Qi Rui. Qi Rui also found that he had asked the generals before, as if they could always give Qi Rui more. At this time, the position of the two sides has changed a lot, and the importance of past experience is greatly reduced in the same completely new field, and the person who has first-hand information is the more advanced representative.

Then Qi Rui felt pride, no need to deliberately, in the face of a group of people who are not as good as himself, pride will naturally arise. It's just that Qi Rui, who is in the position of a student and a subordinate, didn't have the opportunity to have proud capital in the face of a group of generals before. Once he has capital, even in the face of a group of generals, that kind of pride naturally makes Qi Rui instinctively want to show his superiority. Just like when comparing marksmanship with others, Qi Rui had emotions countless times.

"Others think that humility and prudence are a virtue, but I don't think so. Humility, prudence, conscientiousness, and responsibility, all kinds of so-called virtues are just the basic qualities that must be possessed in order to do one's job better. It's just that some people have never been able to be truly proud of their capital. "This is what his father Wei Ze said, as for when he said it, or what he said about it, Qi Rui forgot it. The only thing that can be remembered is this passage, and the reason why he thinks of this passage is that Qi Rui needs this passage to guide his actions.

In any case, a lieutenant colonel's arrogance and arrogance in front of a group of generals is only the way to die. Qi Rui didn't want to ruin his future, he just wanted to step on his grades step by step and rise steadily, and finally rise to the supreme position of his father. On this road, it is not that Qi Rui wants to be a modest and cautious person, but that this road will not allow a proud and arrogant person to pass. That's all.

The report can be said to be quite successful, and when the head of the military academy, Ke Gongyu, took the lead in applauding, the generals applauded together with satisfaction and encouragement. Qi Rui suddenly realized that these people were not actually applauding Qi Rui, but were satisfied with the progress of the motorized infantry unit. So after a slight pause in applause, Qi Rui said calmly: "Thank you for your support and concern for the motorized exercise, and I implore the leaders to give us more support and care for the exercise." ”

If it was before, Qi Rui would feel that what he said was too hypocritical, but now he no longer thinks so. Without the consent of the chief, can Qi Rui ask for a penny from the military finance department? Don't even think about it! Of course, Qi Rui laughed at these people in his heart, hoping to use the success of the motorized infantry to achieve their wishes, accumulate merits, and continue to be promoted. When laughing at others, didn't Qi Rui do the same thing himself? Purely from a personal point of view, Qi Rui is even more despicable than others. Others have to rely entirely on themselves, and Qi Rui can also get the support of his father Wei Ze behind him. How many things in the concept of the motorized infantry were taken out of his father Wei Ze, Qi Rui, as the person concerned, could not be clearer.

If we don't talk about personal morality, we can only talk about the progressive significance of motorized infantry. Even a genius like Weezer was able to push forward only after countless warriors began to follow Weze, and then military progress changed the fate of these people, bringing them from one victory to another. No single person can promote social progress in any way. From this point of view, Qi Rui must have respect for this system, and he must be sincere and respectful!

This kind of heartfelt respect was exchanged for enough kindness, and the generals first looked at each other, and then someone laughed and said, "We don't participate in this drill because we want to give you young people a chance." It is not appropriate to give us a share of credit. It is not appropriate to give us a share of the credit. I really want to be twenty years younger. ”

Qi Rui knew that this was not within the scope of his intervention, so he maintained a upright posture and did not say a word.

Ke Gongyu said with a smile: "Don't be foolish, you don't dare to say anything when you scare the young people." Besides, when you go to report to the governor, you run faster than anyone else. ”

Of course, the old guys can make such jokes, and in a burst of laughter, Ke Gongyu said to Qi Rui: "You go down." ”

Qi Rui saluted and left the conference room obediently. At the door, Ke Gongyu's secretary stopped Qi Rui, "You go and wait for him outside Principal Ke's office now, and report to Principal Ke for some specific situations." ”

Ke Gongyu's office is in another building, and the campus of the military academy is very green, with lush shade and lawns, and there are even signs on some tall trees, which are planted by a group of veterans of the Liberation Army. After almost twenty years, they have grown very tall. On the wide and flat asphalt road, a group of young cadets in crisp uniforms passed by in groups. The standard soldier's pace, energetic appearance and demeanor all made Qi Rui can't help but think of the four years he spent in this military academy.

Qi Rui was born on January 1, 1862 and is 26 years old this year. In a few months, he would be 27 years old. Seeing that there were no cadets in these class chapters, Qi Rui couldn't help but think back to his past self. He entered the military academy as a cadet ten years ago. When I was in school, everyone imagined what would happen to me ten years later, when a group of students felt that according to the regulations, if they didn't make mistakes, they would graduate from military schools in four years and have six years of work experience, and everyone was a captain at that time, and they were fighting for the rank of major. And where did the Min Dynasty fight, and what kind of war will everyone face. What a deed it will be.

This kind of discussion is not small, and the closer to the reality of the discussion is the rushing exam. What will be examined? When I really can't stand it, how to get through the questions, and how to help a little during the exam. This is also very important homework. There are also more gratifying contents than this discussion. For example, the large rows in the cafeteria are not well served, either too oily or too salty. There is also which girl in the girls' class is super good-looking. A very important part of the daily entertainment is also who writes letters to female classmates who are good in junior high school or high school. Really carefree good time.

After graduation, he served in the South China Sea Military Region, participated in the war of the Republic of China against the Indian Ocean, and fought against the enemy in Ceylon. Served in North America and built railroads. He went to Japan twice to observe the war. Fight, read, study, work. When I think about it, it seems like I've done a lot, but time has leapt by like a white horse. Even if you look back, you can't grasp the slightest bit of the past.

Thinking of these, Qi Rui's rationality was also slowly sleeping, and the sensibility from the body gradually took over most of his thinking. That figure resurfaced in Qi Rui's mind again. In fact, Qi Rui doesn't have so much time to spend on personal matters, and the two don't see each other much. Every time I go out with her, whether it's eating, watching the scenery, or simply pressing the road. There is no need to do anything special, as long as the two of them are together, Qi Rui can give birth to a feeling of being so leisurely and leisurely that it doesn't matter if he is old in the wilderness.

It's a feeling that can only be felt when you're with her, and the mood is so relaxed, you don't want to think about anything, you don't want to think about anything. Whether it's words or actions, they all seem so redundant when they get along. However, this feeling of relaxation is always short-lived. Whether it's waiting for her to show up at the appointed time, or watching her leave. all made Qi Rui feel inexplicably heavy.

By the time Qi Rui finally understood that he was probably in love with her, it seemed that it was too late. But even after experiencing a lot of pain, Qi Rui did not regret this feeling in the slightest. Even if there is no way to get in touch with each other, when memories occasionally come to mind, that warm feeling still occupies Qi Rui's heart vividly, and can even dispel all the unhappiness in his heart.

Sadness and pain did not occupy Qi Rui's heart again, although he still had the urge to cry, but Qi Rui resisted it this time. At this time, Qi Rui even gave birth to a kind of courage. I want to rush out of the military school desperately now, find her at all costs, and tell her my feelings in person. And don't say "I like you" almost incoherently, like last time.

But at this moment of full emotion, rationality but inexplicably popped out. That calm voice whispered in his head, falling in love with her was his own business, so why let himself be hurt again! Isn't it good to keep that warmth? If even these last good memories are shattered, it will not be a good thing for anyone. Wouldn't it be a nuisance to her even to let her know exactly how she feels? If you have a feeling of peace from your loved one, what is the legitimate reason to throw your troubles and heaviness on your loved ones?

Just when reason gradually gained the upper hand, Qi Rui also walked outside the office of the principal Ke Gongyu. Military schools are very disciplined, so there are also a lot of very humane arrangements. For example, there is a shiny bench outside the door. Qi Rui straightened up in the chair. Qi Rui, who was surrounded by the feeling of love, gradually fell asleep, and the officer Qi Rui waited seriously for the call of his boss.

It took Ke Gongyu more than half an hour to return to the office, looking at Qi Rui who stood upright, he waved his hand to let Qi Rui sit down first. Then he took two other generals into the office. After waiting for more than half an hour, the secretary came out to let Qi Rui in.

The three generals sat in their offices, and after Qi Rui saluted, he listened to Ke Gongyu say: "The situation in North America is not particularly stable now. Therefore, the school has decided to evaluate your comrades in the intermediate training class who participated in the motorized drill. If you can pass the exam, you will first return to the Xinxiang Military Academy in North America to participate in the work of establishing new subjects. ”

Qi Rui was taken aback, this order was too abrupt. With Qi Rui's personality, since he took the exam, he must pass. This is not just a matter of face, Qi Rui has not been blocked by the exam so far. But he felt a little panicked in his heart, if he went to North America again this time, the chance of seeing her again would be very small. The formation of motorized infantry has just begun, and at the moment it is just a regiment gathered together to participate in the exercise, and it will take several years to come up with a set of effective tactics.

"Take the exam after five working days, and the results will be released within about fifteen working days. Once approved, we will immediately set off for North America. This is the document, you will bring it with you when you go back to inform everyone. Ke Gongyu said as he handed a signed document to Qi Rui.

As soon as Qi Rui took the document, Ke Gongyu's secretary brought a signature book and instructed Qi Rui to sign the matter of receiving the document.

After signing, Qi Rui looked at Ke Gongyu. Ke Gongyu said: "Hurry back and inform." This matter cannot be delayed. ”

After a night of confusion and bumps in the car, Qi Rui finally arrived at the drill base in the early morning. Just in time for breakfast, Qi Rui gathered the students of the intermediate class and read the order to them. The students were surprised and delighted, and originally thought that they would have to toss here for another two months to be busy, and then it was naturally time for the evaluation. With the work that everyone is engaged in, it is basically a sure thing to pass this evaluation.

"How hard is this exam?" Money mostly feels a little wrong. As the saying goes, if the evaluation is made after two months, it depends on everyone's contribution to the construction of motorized infantry. This contribution depends on the performance of the day. He is not afraid of evaluation at all, and in fact all the members of the intermediate training class are not afraid of evaluation.

The problem is that when you take an exam, it is difficult to determine the factors involved. What is the test? What to write a dissertation? In addition to the navy, the group of people participating in the motorized infantry exercise has all branches of the army. Infantry, cavalry, railway soldiers, logistics personnel, and even mathematics majors in the army. In the face of such a group of officers who are serious in their subjects, can the one-paper examination be fair?

"things stop? Are you focused on taking the exam? Hu Xingzhi also has opinions. Qi Rui glanced at Hu Xingzhi and probably understood Hu Xingzhi's thoughts. Everyone is good at and what they are not good at, and Hu Xingzhi may be attributed to people who have no merit and hard work. It is not easy to expect him to put forward very insightful ideas, but Hu Xingzhi has done a very good job in implementing the results of the discussion of the party committee. So Hu Xingzhi wanted to accumulate more experience instead of taking the exam immediately.

But this group of lieutenant colonels said that it was useless, the lieutenant general spoke, and they had nothing else to do but obey orders.

Under the leadership of the party committee, Qi Rui, deputy secretary of the party committee who wrote a paper on motorized operations, was elected as a member of the study committee. Led a group of students from the intermediate class to summarize and review.

The characteristic of the examination in the Republic of China is "one paper". The great Governor of Wezedu made it clear that there were many problems with the "one-paper" examination system, but the "one-paper" examination was the fairest model known. At least everyone can't find a fairer selection model for the time being.

Before the exam at 8 o'clock in the morning, Qi Rui took the lead in checking whether all the stationery of the reference personnel was brought and whether it could be used normally. The other sets of spare stationery are placed on the invigilator's desk, and if something goes wrong on the way, you can go and change them. After making the preparations, the intermediate students were nervously waiting for the exam to begin.

A stack of exam papers was placed on the student's desk at the door. Just when everyone thought that it was inevitable that there would be suspicion of thorough questions when the exam papers were released like this, the orderly soldiers rushed in with thick exam papers. This TM is a paper, and everyone has a stack of exam papers of about 100 pages on their desk.

When the students were dumbfounded, Ma Xiaoming laughed, "Is this asking us to write until we are old?" ”

No one thinks this statement is too abrupt, and it is difficult to plagiarize so many volumes. The atmosphere in the examination room immediately became inexplicably relaxed.

"Everyone stayed up all night, so I'm going to give you 16 hours from now on. Within 16 hours, if you feel that you can withstand it, you can answer the questionnaire. I feel that I can't stand it, and I can hand in the paper whenever I want. "The invigilator doesn't seem to be under much psychological pressure.

"What about going to the toilet and eating?" Ma Xiaoming asked.

The invigilator replied with a smile: "Someone will follow you when you go to the toilet, please feel free to urinate as many times as you like." Food, you will be given field rations. If there are no problems, start answering them now. ”

The regulations are already there, Qi Rui doesn't care so much, untie the rope on the scroll, Qi Rui picked up the pen and began to write his name on the first page. Someone took the lead, and the students followed suit. Not to mention whether this large stack of papers can be answered. Just writing your name on each page is a lot of work. Time is limited and there is no room for delay.
