Xue Ming, dressed in civilian clothes, came to Beijing, and as soon as he got off the train, he was taken to the outskirts of Beijing by a car of the General Staff Officer.

It is close to the foot of the mountain, and the path leading to the mountain is lined with thick trees that block the sky above. There are many dormitories and yards on both sides of the road, and most of the men and women in green military civilian clothes come in and out, which clearly shows that this is the military compound of the local garrison. Xue Ming was taken to the second-floor office area in an auditorium here.

When Xue Ming was looking outside an office with only three simple words written "Preparatory Office", the door opened, and a young, quiet girl walked out.

"Comrade, who are you looking for?" The girl asked.

"Excuse me, is Comrade Gu Minghui here? I'm here to report," Xue Ming said, taking out his letter of introduction.

"Xue Ming is here, come in." A familiar voice came from inside the room.

Xue Ming pushed the door and walked in.

"Report, division commander, Xue Ming is here to report."

Gu Changhui, who was sitting behind a large desk, was also dressed in casual clothes, and he looked at Xue Ming a little strangely, "Xue Ming, are you okay?" ”

Xue Ming was a little confused, looked at Gu Changhui, and then at the girl beside him, "It's okay, Uncle Gu, what's wrong?" ”。

"What's wrong? You also asked me what's wrong, you and I are both in civilian clothes, how can there be any division commander, this is not the division headquarters, what kind of report is being shouted, and you are shouting loudly, you can't hear anyone else when you shoot it? It really doesn't make sense. Gu Changhui said half-truthfully.

When Xue Ming heard this, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "After so many years, I'm used to it, and when I see you, I want to report immediately."

"Habits, habits, there are a lot of things in the future that we have to slowly get used to again, how about it, is it smooth along the way?" Gu Changhui asked.

"It's going well, by the way, how long have you been here," Xue Ming asked.

"It didn't take long, a little more than a month, oh, let me introduce to you, this is Comrade Zhang Yi of the Foreign Affairs Department of the General Staff, who was assigned to the army after graduating from university, I considered that we will have a lot of foreign materials here to learn and understand in the future, and it is not easy to get them outside, so I asked the head of the headquarters for support, and the leaders strongly supported and sent Comrade Zhang Yi, who had the best English proficiency there, she is also a military family, very smart and quick to respond. Xiao Zhang, his name is Xue Ming, he seems to be some kind of combat hero, and nothing else. You guys familiarize yourself with it first, there's still a lot to come, we have to hurry. Gu Changhui did not change the usual vigorous and resolute style of soldiers, and returned to his desk after introducing it in one breath with a little humor.

The girl was amused by Gu Changhui's words, "Hello, my name is Zhang Yi, if there is anything you don't understand in the future, please give me more advice." Zhang Yi smiled and generously stretched out his hand to Xue Ming.

Xue Ming, who has been dealing with guns since he became a soldier, has rarely had contact with female comrades, and in the face of Zhang Yi, he stretched out his hand with some embarrassment and held the other party tightly. "Hello, Comrade Zhang Yi, don't give advice, I will definitely trouble you in many things in the future, and I will ask you for more advice."

"Oops." Zhang Yi frowned and whispered. Only then did Xue Ming realize that he had exerted too much force and hurt the girl. He hurriedly let go of his hand, and his face, which was already very embarrassed, suddenly turned red to the base of his neck, and he said sorry, sorry repeatedly.

Gu Changhui raised his eyes and glanced at them, and snorted: "Look at your little bit of talent, you are holding a submachine gun, and you don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade." ”

was sarcastically ridiculed by the teacher, and Xue Ming was even more at a loss.

Zhang Yi said generously: "Chief, it's okay, I'm still too squeamish, I will train more when I go to the base in the future, and I will ask Comrade Xue Ming for more help when the time comes." ”

"Certainly, definitely," Xue Ming hurriedly said.

"What must be something, you treat her as your soldier, and you are responsible for the training?" Gu Changhui did not give up.

"Chief, I'm not so squeamish, I'm also a soldier." Zhang Yi said with a smile.

"Uncle Gu, why do you keep squeezing me today?" Xue Ming, who had been uncomfortable with Gu Changhui's words since he entered the door, began to steal white.

"Okay, come over quickly, I have a lot of things to discuss with you here, we are very short of time, many things need to be determined as soon as possible, and the most important thing is where the people to be recruited come from, what are your plans in this regard?" Gu Changhui went straight in.

Everything was to the point, Xue Ming immediately came to the spirit, and the discomfort just now was swept away.

"I was just about to report to you, and I've been thinking about this on the way here, I'm not mature yet, what are your plans? How did it end up being deployed? Xue Ming's answer was very cautious, not only because this task was extremely arduous, but also if obvious results could be achieved, it would provide the most direct reference for our army's future training and preparations.

"Well, it's not just you, it's all of us, it's a whole new subject, and it's all from scratch. The above just said let us go and do it, as long as it does not violate our party's policy and the discipline of the army, everything can be discussed, you don't have an ideological burden, as long as it does not touch the bottom line, I will coordinate the rest. Gu Changhui's answer was loud, reflecting the courage of a veteran soldier.

"Come, drink some water first, sit down and talk slowly." Two glasses of water were served to the two of them at the right time, and then they went to the side to sort out the collected materials.

"Thank you". After speaking, Xue Ming and Gu Changhui looked at each other and smiled, and they were all appreciating this meticulous and decent girl in their hearts.

"Since the chiefs told us to do it, then I don't have any worries. I think so, if you want to build an all-weather combat force that is proficient in various skills, I suggest that it is still selected in the whole country, and a group of children of appropriate age and excellent conditions in all aspects should be selected, so that we can start from the basics, in the first few years, we will focus on the training of culture and basic knowledge and skills, and in the next few years, we will focus on the training of actual combat, and the number of people will not be too many. With this as the backbone force, various independent army, navy, and air force special operations units will be formed, and after several years of accumulation, the whole army will be able to form an echelon building, and at that time this will be a sharp blade that will make the enemy fearful, and once it is unsheathed, it will kill the enemy invisibly. Xue Ming was a little excited, he was completely immersed in this grand idea.

Gu Changhui looked at Xue Ming, not only happy for his input, but also worried that he would collapse once he was frustrated. It can not only let him do it passionately, but also not deviate from the predetermined track, how to grasp this degree, Gu Minghui knows that he has a great responsibility, and he can't be sloppy in the slightest.

"Why do you have to recruit soldiers in society, and it's still a child? Isn't it possible for the existing troops to have so many personnel of appropriate age, many of whom have actual combat experience and excellent conditions? Gu Changhui directly said what he was thinking, and it was also a question that other army leaders would ask in the future, and he had to Xue Ming give him a reasonable and convincing explanation.

Xue Ming didn't evade, obviously he had thought about it many times, and the answer was clear.

"I don't deny that many fighters are really good, including combat heroes, training pacesetters, but they have a common flaw is only outstanding in some aspects, some people charge into battle and are unstoppable, but it is likely that they are not suitable for infiltration, penetration, and lurking tasks, some people are good at planning and coordination, but hand-to-hand combat may be powerless, and so on, one aspect may be excellent, but the shortcomings in other aspects are difficult to make up, the reason is that years of training make their bodies react, The motor function has been finalized, and then it will be difficult to adapt to new things, it is difficult to train these people together, it is difficult to achieve coordination, and the time and energy may be longer, even if some people can succeed, but by then age is a problem, and age is also an insurmountable hurdle for them, the most important thing is that the knowledge structure is uneven, which is not a day or two can be changed, and we will form this force in the future, Being able to fight around the clock and achieve rapid response is only one of the most basic requirements, and they need to master advanced scientific and technological knowledge and master all kinds of high-tech cutting-edge weapons and equipment, not only can they be proficient in mastering them, but also know how to destroy them, and there will be fewer and fewer opportunities for real confrontation in future wars, and if we do not go ahead of others, we will become more and more passive, and I cannot predict what form the future war will take, but I am sure that with the current personnel composition of our armyIt will be difficult to adapt to future wars under high-tech conditions, so I think it is better to jump out of the framework of the army and select materials for the society, which may produce faster results, because they are a blank sheet of paper, and a blank sheet of paper can draw the most beautiful picture. As for the original personnel of the troops, they can be combined into a new combat unit with the nature of special forces on the basis of our original reconnaissance unit as a transition to prepare for the future connection. Xue Ming finished speaking in one breath, picked up the cup and took a sip of water.
