(Supplement 2nd Update)

After the end of the first all-army-enlargement-congress-meeting, more than 100 seats in the command hall of the Praetorian Guard were already empty, and with the departure of these middle- and low-ranking officers, the content and spirit of this meeting were bound to be clearly transmitted to every soldier at the bottom through their tongues.

A special and important mid-term assessment is coming!

Whether the quiet lake is deep or shallow can only be detected when a few stones are thrown into it, and after the news of the mid-term assessment spread, the whole army talked about it, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was an uproar.

For a time, whether overt or covertly, the topic of discussion was always inseparable from this mid-term assessment, which attracted everyone's attention like a bottomless pit, or more precisely, what attracted them was the highlight of this assessment -- the live military exercise

Of course, after the notice of the meeting was issued, the eyes of a very small number of people converged on the thorough investigation of military expenses, and when they heard the specific content of the meeting, they undoubtedly did not look solemn as if they were dead, and while sweating profusely, they hurriedly reined in what they had done before, but a storm aimed at rolling up the bottom of the lake was blowing towards them, and any attempt to hide the black behavior was nothing more than wishful thinking.

Against this background, the results of the training on the second day were noticeably raised to a higher level, and the whole army was full of high morale, as if they were studying intensely before the examination.

In the next few days, this atmosphere that enveloped the whole army did not diminish in the slightest, but intensified, and the day before the assessment, Lu Shuangming, the pipe band of the machine gun battalion, was secretly called to the office by Ye Kai, and the instructions he received were: Don't tell anyone, the rank is top secret.

"The last general has seen the ruler!" As soon as Lu Shuangming came up, he gave a standard military salute, and the temperament of a soldier was undoubtedly revealed.

"You're welcome, Lu Guan." Ye Kai, who was sitting on the desk, looked up, this officer, who was a few years older than him, was tall and tall, his face was slightly dark, but he was capable and tenacious, Ye Kai had flipped through his information before, he had previously served in the first town of the Beiyang Army, and he had indeed risen to the position of the pipe belt step by step.

"Sit" Ye Kai pointed to the guest chair in front of the table and said briefly, but in exchange for the latter's uneasy heart.

Lu Shuangming sat in front of Ye Kai with a little trepidation, his entire spine was straight, and he could see that he was a little nervous, all of which was due to the deep impression that Ye Kai left on him that day.

"You don't have to be too restrained." Ye Kai smiled and reassured, "I called you here because there are important military affairs to be handed over to you, and I won't let you leak it, and it's also because of this military affairs." ”

"The last general will listen to the orders of the commander" Lu Shuangming's voice was loud, although he was not good at dealing with his boss and colleagues, but when it came to military affairs, he immediately showed the purity of a soldier.

Nodding, Ye Kai said straight to the point: "In this live exercise, your machine gun battalion does not belong to either side of the red and blue. ”

As soon as the words fell, Lu Shuangming looked at Ye Kai, and his doubts were written on his face.

"Of course, neither party is subordinate, it doesn't mean that you won't participate, Lu Guan Belt, I have more important tasks for you." Ye Kai turned his head to Lu Shuangming, and looked at the doubts on the other party's face a little thicker.

Ye Kai opened the drawer, took out a battle plan that had already been arranged, and then handed it to the other party, of course the plan was a deleted version, only involving Lu Shuangming.

"This plan, you go back and read it again, and the day after tomorrow you must strictly follow the instructions above, remember to keep it confidential." Ye Kai reminded, "You can go back if there is nothing to do with the land pipe belt."

What can make this ruler repeatedly admonish? , but also to keep it a secret, Lu Shuangming took the plan with surprise, and always felt that the weight in his hand was getting heavier and heavier

The day of the mid-term assessment is coming as scheduled, on this day, there is no imaginary group of emotions boiling, but the scene is calm, maybe the big event is approaching everyone's hearts, are more or less nervous.

The first day was a routine inspection, purely to test the basic skills of the recruits' training these days, from shooting to riding, everything was involved, and from eight o'clock in the morning, these tests began to be carried out in an orderly manner.

Around the established assessment venue, there are members of the jury stationed to monitor every move on the field, including all the data including the performance discipline, will be recorded in detail, in addition, they are also burdened with a non-negligible task to prevent all cheating from happening.

As the chief judge of this assessment, Ha Hanzhang's burden is not light, and more than 10,000 people from the Praetorian Guards have to pass through his eyes, but he has served as the judge of Zhangde Qiucao, and he still has some experience in this regard.

From morning to eight o'clock in the evening, the day-long routine inspection came to an end, and a large number of assessment results were gathered to Ha Hanzhang, this night, for the members of the jury, was destined to be a busy night, because they had to sort out and classify these data in the next two days, and convert them into concise and clear written words, and submit them to the Supreme Command where Ye Kai was in charge.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, many ordinary soldiers lying on their beds could not sleep, because in another six hours, the long-awaited exercise of the actual soldiers would have to start completely.

Not only them, but also Lu Shuangming, who came out of Ye Kai's office, rushed back to his military camp without stopping, and after making sure that there was no one around, he carefully opened the plan sealed with top-secret contents.

On that thin page, the tasks of the officers and men of the machine-gun battalion, their staffing, the location of their garrison, and the targets of the attack were clearly indicated.

The more Lu Shuangming looked at it, the more shocked he became, and his hands couldn't help but tremble, the content of this plan was not only bold, it was simply incredible!

Indeed, the machine-gun battalion did not belong to either side of the Red and Blue Army, and in the plan, they were named the "Black Army", and the brief explanation at the bottom was that the army that existed for the accident was, to put it bluntly, a spoiler.

Locking this plan in a drawer, Lu Shuangming recovered his mood for a while, and then forced himself to fall asleep on the bed, no matter what, he needed to rely on these few small sleeps to save up his energy, as long as he could complete the task instructed by Ye Kai in tomorrow's challenge

However, contrary to everyone's expectations, it was as if the heavens were deliberately trying to increase the difficulty, and as the morning dawn came, it was not the warm sunshine that greeted the 12,500 soldiers of the Praetorian Guard, but a drizzle of rain and cold and heavy air.

Everyone was dumbfounded, this kind of weather is simply terrible, not only the effect of the exercise will be greatly reduced, but even the review work is extremely difficult to carry out, all this is in front of them, I am afraid everyone is thinking about the same question, will the exercise be canceled?

Standing on the edge of the windowsill, Ye Kai tasted the coldness coming from outside, and the drizzle mixed with bursts of cold kept hitting the window, shaking the dew on it, and he cursed in his heart.

This kind of weather was also unexpected by Ye Shi, of course he knew what this bad situation meant, but soon, his mind made a big turn of one hundred and eighty degrees.

The battlefield is inherently ever-changing, and all kinds of sudden situations emerge one after another, and people are not as good as heaven, so this is not a good opportunity.

"Everything went according to plan!"

Ye Kai's order was quickly conveyed to the three armies, and it seemed that the exercise had not officially started, and it had directly entered difficult mode, as for the consequences, Ye Kai, who was sitting in the command headquarters, always kept his eyes open.
