Here's the business.

Chen Ming, who was about to leave, suddenly paused, stopped in place, turned around and strode to the front row of the conference room.

He knew that this kind of review meeting would not call him over for no reason, it should be the order given by the leader in front of him.

The observers in the director's department were so anxious that they dragged him from the Blues' baggage warehouse to a meeting that he shouldn't have been there.

When the other party came to the stage to speak just now, it was shown on the big screen that the introduction of Feng Hongyi, the chief director of the director department of this large-scale military training.

Therefore, Chen Ming knows him.

Coming to the front and standing still, Chen Ming reported in a generous voice.

"Hello chief, Chen Ming, chief staff officer of the Fifth Composite Battalion of the 169th Synthetic Brigade of the 71st Army of the Eastern Theater of Operations, is here to report, please instruct."

Chen Ming stood up meticulously, with a serious expression, without the slightest panic and uneasiness in the face of a person of this level.

Feng Hongyi didn't say anything, his eyes looked at him seriously from top to bottom.

For a long time, no sound came from the conference room.

Maybe it's the last thirty seconds, maybe it's a minute, maybe it's three minutes.

In short, for Chen Ming, after a long period of time, Feng Hongyi finally had a move.

got up as if talking to himself, and also seemed to say to Chen Ming.

"I'm old, I've had a day's meeting, and my body is a little unbearable, so let's go out for a walk."

After speaking, Feng Hongyi got up and walked towards the outside of the conference room, and the staff of the director department behind him hurriedly waved at Chen Ming, and his body cooperated with the movements, as if he was silently urging him: "Keep up, hurry up."

That look, even more anxious than his client.

This kind of thing, without being reminded by them, Chen Ming also knew what to do, nodded slightly, and strode to keep up with Feng Hongyi's footsteps.

Don't look at the other party's age, but the legs and feet are quite neat, after leaving the organ building, the two went straight to a grass outside.

The guards followed in the rear, and Chen Ming followed silently three meters behind, and he didn't know what the other party was looking for him, but he thought it should be related to the performance of the fifth battalion of the big training.

Other than that, I really can't think of anything else that I can get noticed.

It's still southern Xinjiang, and it's still a beautiful night, with silver-white moonlight sprinkled on the grass, peaceful and quiet.

Without the roar of artillery and the tense atmosphere of large-scale military training, this night scene appears more tranquil and the scenery is more pleasant.

It's a burst of relaxation for no reason.

"Chen Ming."

"Here."

"Well, don't be nervous, although this is the first time we have met, it is not the first time I have met you, and we are also fated."

"I don't have to be restrained here."

"Okay" Chen Ming originally wanted to respond "yes", but considering the tone of Feng Hongyi's conversation just now, he finally responded, "Okay." ”

He has been in the workplace, or officialdom, he has been in the workplace, and he knows a truth.

That is, when a leader takes the initiative to pull a relationship with you, don't be deliberately reserved, thinking that this is very well-behaved, but in fact, it can only have the opposite effect.

Because the higher the position, the less you need to ink.

The people of the army, even less.

"Did you listen carefully to today's review meeting?"

"What do you think about this large-scale military training or today's meeting?"

"To tell you the truth, it's okay to be wrong, I know that you are a very assertive person, and your information has appeared in the military department when you were in the National Defense Science and Technology Sharpening Sword Program."

"Say what you really think in your heart."

"Yes."

Chen Ming nodded, did not rush to speak, pondered for a while, and Feng Hongyi did not urge, it seemed that he liked the scenery of southern Xinjiang very much, and kept looking into the distance.

It wasn't until Chen Ming sorted out his language that he spoke: "Chief, the core of today's review meeting is to re-examine and not re-evaluate, and re-examine rather than win or lose."

"The core of this kind of meeting sounds like no problem, and it is true that we should not attach too much importance to winning or losing in exercises and operations, and military training is embodied in a training, and training is not a matter of looking at battles."

"I believe everyone knows this truth, even comrades who have not been soldiers can say the truth."

"The reason why I mention it every year and say it every year that many units and units still have the same problems may not only be the fault of the commander, but the atmosphere of the troops, and this is the case."

Speaking of this, Chen Ming paused and did not continue.

Because if this kind of topic is discussed in depth, the reason is very simple, and he does not need to analyze it more here.

"Well, go ahead."

Feng Hongyi didn't intend to stop there, but opened his mouth with interest and let Chen Ming continue.

"Yes, Chief."

"Chief, take me as an example, from the first day I entered the army, my recruit squad leader told me that we are an ace army, and to be a soldier is to be a good soldier and a role model."

"If you come to the barracks and still live a mess, then it is better not to come, and you can't treat the military as a profession, as a profession for eating and living, because soldiers have to go to the battlefield and live for war."

"If you treat it as a profession, it will change, which is not a bad phenomenon for soldiers."

"Soldiers are divided into good soldiers and bad soldiers, and troops are divided into ace troops and hero troops, as well as ordinary troops."

"Even the regiment is divided into A and B, and in this environment, starting from putting on military uniforms, whether from education or training, all we talk about is to be stronger, strong to become a benchmark, and to be a strong backbone."

"This is the bloody nature of soldiers, and if you let the troops fight in this situation, it is a very difficult thing in itself to not care about winning or losing."

"If there is no blood, then naturally it will not care about winning or losing, but if there is no blood, is it still a soldier?"

"Haha, okay, it's a good sentence without blood, is that still a soldier?"

Feng Hongyi laughed, and seemed to be very happy with Chen Ming's unreserved explanation.

The eyes are shining with deep meaning.

For a long time, no one dared to talk so loudly in front of him.

"You're right, being a soldier requires blood, but there's one thing you don't understand."

"Not focusing on winning or losing, it is not that we do not talk about winning or losing, meritorious service should be rewarded, and punishment should be imposed, and the review meeting does not mean that all commanders should not talk about winning or losing in the end, this is an honor and the glory of the troops."

"You can't get around, you can't leave it behind."

"The core of the review meeting is to let these commanders throw away their ideological baggage, throw away the kind of burden of wanting to win and being afraid of losing, and embody the real core of military training."

"If you can express your thoughts, it means that today's meeting is very rewarding, which is very good."

"As a commander, if you keep your eyes on winning, you will ignore many details in the battle, for example, when you led a team to attack the Blue Army material warehouse, you just thought about what would happen if you won."

"It will bring you the establishment of the five battalions, it will make you receive attention as a whole, and it will bring you glory and honor."

"But have you ever thought about it, if this battle is a real battlefield, then as a commander, the order you give is no less than sending more than a thousand soldiers to death."

"Even you can't come back."

"Taking a step back, if this were a real battlefield, would you do it the same way if you weren't sure if you could blow up the enemy's warehouse?"

"Do you want to give the same order?"

When this sentence came out, Feng Hongyi, who was still kind just now, suddenly turned his gaze sharp, and suddenly turned to stare at Chen Ming.

If you were to be another captain at this time, you might subconsciously shake your head and not do this.

Because a drill is a drill after all, and if you know that if you do this, if you succeed, you will get honor and applause, and what you will get is real benefits.

Even if it doesn't succeed, it's nothing, it's a big deal to wait for the end of the big training, and the firepower of one of their battalions has really little impact on the entire battle situation.

But if it is a real battlefield, knowing that it is impossible to come back, how many people can make this choice without hesitation?

Soldiers are also people, of course, it does not mean that no one will do it, there are still a lot of people who can do it, but it is not without hesitation, and it is always necessary to hesitate.

Facing the pressure of Feng Hongyi.

Chen Ming did not back down in the slightest, and his eyes firmly met the other party's gaze.

He said loudly: "Report to the chief, if this time is a real battlefield, I will also take the risk of choosing such a combat method." ”

"But I won't choose to force the order, I will tell the stakes to every fighter."

"I'll let them make their own choice, go with me or not."

"As long as there is a war, there will be sacrifices, and if I can sacrifice one person, or sacrifice one of the five battalions, I will not hesitate to make the frontal battlefield more smooth and more comrades can survive."

"Fart." Feng Hongyi scolded, but the momentum that had just risen had eased a lot invisibly.

Because he could see that Chen Ming didn't say this to cater to him.

If it is to cater to it, there is no need to give this answer at all.

Feng Hongyi didn't stay on this topic for long, and as soon as the conversation changed, he said in a faint voice: "We haven't been on the battlefield for too long."

"When it comes to the real battlefield, the combat method of the Fifth Battalion this time will not work at all, because the Red Army and the Blue Army are not enemies, and many aspects are not well considered."

"I didn't think too much about arranging the rear, I just thought about pushing the Red Army into a desperate situation in accordance with the regulations of the director's department, and to stimulate the troops' adaptability under difficult conditions to a greater extent."

"But I didn't expect that after an inadvertence, you little guy seized the opportunity and gave the Blues a hard blow."

"As a result, the deployment that had been formed by the Blue Army collapsed overnight, but the Red Army drove straight in, pressing the Blue Army to fight, which also led to the accelerated end of this large-scale military training."

"However, you don't have to have a psychological burden, no matter what the final result of this large-scale military training is, it has nothing to do with you directly."

"What is needed on the battlefield is all kinds of unbridled operational thinking, and any commander can command any commander in conventional operations, and this is not the key to determining victory or defeat."

"What's more, all kinds of incredible things will happen on the battlefield anytime and anywhere, and the director department can't direct them all."

"You did a good job, and it is not easy to do this level without regulations, script restrictions, and troop transfer order restrictions."

"Whew!"

Chen Ming took a deep breath.

Chatting with a leader of this level, although the other party's tone has always been very kind.

But it's also a lot of pressure.

"Well, I've read your information, you haven't participated in professional staff officer training, and at present, the theater and military regions have not organized professional staff officer training programs."

"The next two days of review meetings, you just listen here, it may be more rewarding than if you participate in the training."

"Yes, Chief."

Chen Ming saluted.

Even if he doesn't explain, he won't be able to get out of here.

After the evacuation of the fifth battalion for such a long time, I am afraid that it would have already joined the brigade headquarters, and he had to have tools to leave here alone.

If you don't attend the review meeting, you can only wait for the commander-in-chief to attend before you can return to the military region together.

It's definitely better to be able to continue to participate.

"Chief, then I'll go back first."

After Chen Ming said hello, he was about to leave, when Feng Hongyi suddenly said with a smile: "If you let your five battalions be incorporated into the combat sequence this time, I'm afraid today will not be a review meeting."

"At least not so quickly."

"But then again, if you fight with a script, you can't find a whimsical command talent."

Listening to the words, Feng Hongyi's mood is really good, Chen Ming also laughed dryly, what can he say?

"Do you know why we have been fighting strictly according to the script during the large-scale military training?"

"The reason for the report is to sharpen the combat effectiveness of the Red Army to the greatest extent and exchange the minimum military expenditure for the greatest training effect."

Chen Ming pondered for a moment before trying to respond.

It has long been no secret that this kind of thing is fighting a war with a script, and almost all countries in the world know about it.

There are even some people on the Internet who guide the direction of the wind indiscriminately, saying that this kind of exercise is a pure waste of resources, just like playing house, and it is completely ineffective.

Chen Ming didn't know what was in mind when he said these words, these trolls were the people who picked up the steel gun to protect them.

It is a soldier who stands on the front line of national defense and defends the country, even if it is not good, it should not be sprayed like this, they are soldiers who rushed to the battlefield as soon as the war came.

Dogs are not too poor.

And the people they admire are always thinking about aggression and plunder, and what is even more sad is that this argument is still quite marketable, and many people support it.

Indeed, fighting a war with a script doesn't seem to have much effect, but so what?

Could it be that we should not let peace go, but not cause war, let countless soldiers die, and let the situation be turbulent?

No reason is an excuse to spray these soldiers, at least they are working hard, doing it again, and getting stronger step by step.

How can people who have done nothing open their mouths to judge those who are working hard?

Feng Hongyi seemed to see that Chen Ming's mood was fluctuating, and reached out with a smile and patted him on the shoulder.

said meaningfully: "It's not that complicated, now fighting with the script is indeed the same as you said, it is for better sharpening, of course, this is only part of the reason."

"You'll understand later."

"It was different before."

"At that time, because of poverty, the scale of training could not be large, and it was necessary to control the cost and control the consumption of ammunition."

"Because we are poor, many firepower equipment always can't keep up with the pace, and we are ridiculed by the outside world, your generation of soldiers is a soldier in the new era."

"You may not understand our time."

"But these don't need to be understood, because we were backward back then, we had to be wronged, we had to be bullied, and we knocked out our teeth and swallowed blood and tears into our stomachs."

"You soldiers in the new era must inherit the will of a strong country and go on firmly."

"We are all old and can't fight anymore, and the future of the motherland, the future of national defense, and the future of the people must be supported by your generation."

"Chen Ming."

"Here."

"I have seen the shadows of many old comrades-in-arms in you, and I can talk to you so much today, not to give you advice, nor to guide you on what you need to do in the future."

"I will not change your life plan, let alone forcibly intervene."

"But you have to remember that the road to a strong army is under your feet, step by step."

"Use our strength, use our roar, and use the dragon chant of our great power to tell the world."

"We have stood up, and we today will never suffer the humiliation of the past again."

"Today, the clarion call for our strong country and army has sounded throughout the barracks, and today, we are unprecedentedly close to achieving the goal of great national rejuvenation."

"A generation of soldiers has the mission of a generation of soldiers, a generation of soldiers has the responsibility of a generation of soldiers, and the mission and responsibility of contemporary soldiers is to continue to escort the journey of national rejuvenation."

"You, can you understand?"

"Yes, chief, I understand."

Chen Ming's eyes responded firmly, and Feng Hongyi's words gave him unlimited motivation.

No one had ever told him about this since he entered the barracks.

Zhao Lifei, the squad leader of the recruits, told him to work hard to become a good soldier.

Recruit platoon Jiang Peng taught him to work hard, become an officer, and stay in the army to continue to develop.

Chu Xiongqiao, the commander of the first company of the second battalion of Yuanhuo, told him to work hard, be a backbone in the company, and strive to be an excellent soldier.

Wang Junwei, commander of the 169th Synthetic Brigade, told him that he had to do everything possible to keep the five battalions, bring them out, and become an organized unit.

Tao Sheng, the captain of the Dragon's Tooth Brigade, told him to train hard, sweat more when practicing, and bleed less during war.

Professor Wan Lewan, a tutor at the National Defense University of Science and Technology, told him that the subject is the epitome of the command of the army and the development of science and technology, and he should take it seriously and become an excellent commander in the future.

And today, Feng Hongyi told him that they are a new generation of soldiers who want to escort the rejuvenation of the nation.

People are always growing step by step in cognition, and things outside of cognition are difficult to touch.

It's hard to understand when you're in contact, and it's hard to do what you do, because there's no one to push you to, no one to tell you you need to do it.

Chen Ming is also a human being, he is growing step by step, and today's conversation is the one that touches him the most.

It was also the most memorable conversation for him, and it was also the conversation that changed his military career all his life.

This night, under the starry sky in southern Xinjiang, on the grass, Chen Ming really felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier.

Not because of a few simple words, but precisely because of a veteran's expectations of himself, of his generation.

Make his mission clearer and clearer.
