After the training of the independent division officially began, Wu Lai also trained with those recruits, he was the division commander and should be a good example.

During the training, Wu Lai was very strict and very strict with the soldiers, because he himself had to participate in the training, so those soldiers had nothing to say. But after the training, Wu Lai cared about the soldiers very much, as if he was a completely different person.

In separate divisions, the salaries of the soldiers are all high, three times higher than in ordinary units. The food in the canteen is very good, and Wu Lai basically eats in the canteen every day. At first, when he was in the special forces recruit training camp, Wu Laina deliberately went to the officer's window to eat, but now that he has become the chief, he did not do anything special, and he wore a camouflage uniform to eat at the ordinary window every day.

Originally, Wang Dong and the others were all eating at the officer's window, but seeing Wu Lai like this, they all ate at the ordinary window, so that the officer's window finally stopped.

When Mr. Wang Rong came to inspect the troops as Chairman Li's representative, they were all entertained at the ordinary window. Wang Rong said with a smile: "It seems that Xiao Lai is a qualified general!"

Wu Lai said modestly: "Grandpa, you have won the award, in fact, the food in this canteen is really good, isn't it the same where to eat?"

The old man spent a day in the independent division, inspected the training of the troops, and was very satisfied with the independent division.

Before leaving, Wang Rong said to Wu Lai: "Xiao Lai, for the sake of the independent division, Chairman Li has taken on a lot of pressure, but you did not disappoint him, you deserve to be my good grandson!"

"That's actually all my uncle's work. ”

"Just him, not a general!" In fact, the old man knew in his heart that his son Wang Dong was capable, but he was not a general who could completely take charge of himself, if there was no Wu Lai, he might only be a major general for the rest of his life, but now I can't say for sure.

Subsequently, General Liu Ke, vice chairman of the Central Military Commission and minister of national defense, also inspected the independent division, and Wu Lai was also entertained at the ordinary window of the canteen.

Liu Ke asked a soldier in private: "Doesn't your canteen have a special window?"

The soldier replied: "Originally, there were, but the division commander and other leaders ate the same food as us, so the special window was finally withdrawn." ”

Liu Ke continued to ask, "Then when will your division commander be in the cafeteria?"

"The division commander is in the cafeteria every day! He trains with us every day, and then eats together in the cafeteria. The soldier was still very proud as he spoke, and that kind of demeanor did not look like he was pretending.

Liu Ke was afraid that he had spoken well in advance, so he asked a few other people, and the answers were basically the same. In fact, he knew in his heart that when he came to inspect, he had not been notified at all, and it was a surprise attack, so it was impossible for those soldiers to speak well in advance.

In Zhongnanhai, Chairman Li convened a meeting of the Central Military Commission, which was attended by General Wang Rong, chief of staff of the General Staff Department, General Liu Ke, vice chairman of the Central Military Commission and minister of national defense, General Lu Fei, director of the General Armament Department, Lieutenant General Jiang Fei, director of the Logistics Department, and General Qin Yu, director of the General Political Department. It can be said that the top leaders of the major departments of the Central Military Commission have all come.

Chairman Li said: "The meeting of the Central Military Commission was convened to discuss the situation of the independent division. As he spoke, Chairman Li introduced the situation of the independent division to everyone.

Next, Wang Rong also introduced his inspection of the independent division, he said: "Although Wu Lai is my grandson, I absolutely did not protect him. ”

Chairman Li smiled and said, "Lao Wang, I believe in you, otherwise I wouldn't have sent you to inspect." ”

General Liu Ke also reported on his inspection of the independent division, and he had no friendship with Wu Lai, so his words were naturally very credible.

For the independent division, Chairman Li was under a lot of pressure, but at this moment, his pressure was reduced a lot. Seeing the generals present talking about each other, he was still a little proud in his heart. The independent division finally did not disappoint him.

However, the real combat effectiveness of the independent division still needs to be tested, and only by relying on inspection can we see one-sidedness.

Chairman Li then raised the question of how to test the combat effectiveness of the Independent Division, and after some discussion, they decided to have the Independent Division and the 38th Army engage in a big contest.

After the order of the Military Commission was issued, Wang Dong and others were shocked. How can they compare with the 38th Army, which has a profound accumulation and is powerful in the world, since the 38th Army is called the "Long Live Army," "the trump card of the trump cards, and the first class of the first class" Among the group armies, it has the largest number of troops, the most complete arms, the best weapons and equipment, firepower, mobility, surprise attack power, defense power, rapid reaction capability, combined combat capability, independent combat capability, in-depth strike capability, combat support capability, logistics and technical support capability, automatic digital combat capability, and so on, all of which are second to none in the whole army, and it is a first-class fist unit with the strongest comprehensive combat capability in China.

Wu Lai smiled and said indifferently: "Martial arts competition, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, are you afraid that they will not succeed?"

Wang Dong said with a bitter face: "I said Xiaolai, if it is other troops, I am afraid of hair, but the 38th Army is full of talents, and it is estimated that our independent division will not rank in the 38th Army at all." ”

Wu Lai patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Uncle, don't be ambitious and destroy your own prestige!"

"You don't know what the 38th Army represents!" Wu Lai is ignorant and fearless, but Wang Dong knows how powerful the 38th Army is.

Wu Lai said earnestly: "Uncle, if the 38th Army is really invincible, then there is no point in Chairman Li asking me to form an independent division. Let me tell you the truth, I must defeat the 38th Army in the big contest this time. In addition, it is estimated that they will still conduct exercises, and I will also shake the 38th Army during the exercises to let them know the strength of our independent division. ”

However, Wang Dong really couldn't believe that the army that had only been established for a few months could compare with the 38th Army, and he said repeatedly: "Crazy, you are crazy." ”

"Uncle, just wait and see. "In Wu Lai's eyes, nothing is invincible, even if he is invincible now, he is only on the earth, and invincibility is only temporary, the 38th Army is powerful, it does not mean that it cannot be surpassed. The Chinese sword he wants to establish cannot be compared to the ten thirty-eight armies, it is the Chinese Divine Army in the true sense of the word, and it is the guardian saint of China.

Major General Chu An, commander of the 38th Army, was surprised when he received the order. Wouldn't it be ridiculous to have a contest with a division? If it loses, the 38th Army will lose face and win, and if it wins, there is nothing to show off, just like a lion and a rat in a contest, a smart lion will not agree. But the order of the military commissar had to be obeyed. He began to prepare for the joust.
