"Sir, do you think we should notify the family to come over?"
Someone suggested in a low voice.
When it comes to notifying the family to come over, it usually means that it has been confirmed that they have died in the accident, and the family is asked to come and collect their belongings to take them home.
Zhang Xianming, 67 years old, with gray hair, should be retired at his age, enjoying his grandchildren and living a peaceful old age.
Unfortunately, there is a shortage of talent, especially someone like Mr. Zhang, who has rich practical experience, command and management skills, and a solid professional foundation.
Their moral character and awareness are something many young people can only dream of.
So even at this age, he continues to work because the country is short-handed.
Those who were transferred to the capital were all top figures in this system, holding high positions and wielding great power.
No matter how the application process for this exercise in the southwest goes, it will not require any intervention from Mr. Zhang.
However, on the third day of the exercise, Mr. Zhang suddenly appeared at the exercise site, saying that he had come to watch the exercise in person.
Grandpa Zhang was like a qualified chess spectator, watching without speaking, and never using his high position to interfere in the exercise.
After the Sharp Knife Squad successfully brought all 620 people from the Red and Blue armies out of Death Valley, he had been secretly looking forward to seeing the Sharp Knife Squad perform again.
The two regiments that the Red and Blue armies sent to Death Valley this time are both main force regiments with outstanding combat capabilities.
But they were trapped in Death Valley, nearly causing a tragedy.
Zhang Jizhou, who was also visiting this area for the first time and came from the Northwest, was able to lead his elite squad to successfully find a path to survival in Death Valley.
They also evacuated two regiments, totaling 620 people, from the danger zone.
Remembering what Xu Zhimin said, this young man named Zhang Jizhou is very likely to be the child left behind by the eldest son.
As soon as Old Master Zhang received the news, he immediately set about having people secretly investigate.
Over the years, they have mistakenly identified people for others. Some people with ulterior motives discovered that they were secretly looking for someone and arranged for people to come to their door to claim them as relatives. There were dozens, if not more, of them. Old Master Zhang's joy and excitement were worn away.
In addition, for those who have long held high positions, every decision they make has a significant impact. They intentionally maintain a rational and calm demeanor. The trials and tribulations they have experienced in the past have all become rich life experiences, laying the foundation for their ability to remain calm and rational at all times.
Therefore, upon hearing Xu Zhimin's words, Old Master Zhang did not get excited or happy and immediately went to check Zhang Jizhou's information, nor did he go to see him directly.
Someone of his status, investigating a young military officer from within the organization, would eventually be discovered, no matter how careful he was.
Regardless of the final outcome, whether it is true or not, there will always be various rumors circulating in the shadows.
Out of consideration for the protection of both the Zhang family and Zhang Jizhou, Old Master Zhang did not rashly launch an internal investigation.
Instead, they had someone secretly investigate from the outside.
The investigation has been ongoing for a short time, but based on the feedback received so far, there is a 70-80% chance that it is true.
With a 70-80% chance—a higher probability than any previous "family reunion"—Old Master Zhang, no matter how calm and composed he was, finally couldn't resist making the trip to the southwest himself.
He knew that an exercise was being conducted in the southwest, and Zhang Jizhou and his elite squad had been seconded there.
As expected, the elite squad led by Zhang Jizhou did not disappoint him; their performance as soon as they made a move amazed everyone in the command post.
Both were visiting Death Valley for the first time, and the two main regimental commanders of the red and blue armies were trapped inside, at their wits' end, unable to find a way out.
Zhang Jizhou's ability to successfully rescue them demonstrates just how outstanding he is.
Before even meeting Zhang Jizhou, Old Master Zhang was already secretly proud.
But who would have thought that the next day, two days, three days, four days...
There has been no further news of the elite squad.
He finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked them, "Where is the elite team now? What's their next mission?"
Only after asking did they learn that the elite squad had been out of contact for more than half a month.
Death Valley has a complex and treacherous terrain, and is fraught with danger.
Neither the Red nor the Blue Army dared to send large forces to rush in rashly.
More than a dozen groups of people were sent in to search, including the two regiments that had been rescued by the Sharp Knife Squad last time, who also went into Death Valley more than a dozen times.
The reconnaissance company of the 107th Regiment spent more than ten days inside, but still couldn't find the whereabouts of the elite squad.
The elite squad, including Zhang Jizhou and his partner, a total of ten people, simply vanished without a trace.
"Sir, we have found the most experienced mountain patrolman in the area. He has crossed Death Valley three times and said that no one can stay in Death Valley for half a month."
One reason is that there is miasma everywhere in Death Valley;
Secondly, there is no water source inside.
Such a large forest, yet there is not a single water source.
Trees and wild grasses can survive on rainwater, dew, frost, fog, and snow, but other organisms cannot.
Thirdly, many of the plants inside are poisonous in their entirety, and a slight mistake could be fatal.
Why is Death Valley called Death Valley?
Because there are no living animals in there.
In other words, no living animal could survive in it.
The original plan was that after quickly dealing with the 107th Regiment, Zhang Jizhou and his men would be able to move to a new position immediately, so they were just reminded to prepare two days' worth of food.
It's been more than half a month already, and they...
Seeing that Grandpa Zhang didn't say anything, the Blue Army's highest commander spoke again in a low voice.
He knew that the old man was probably thinking that it was unreasonable to say they were dead when neither they were alive nor their bodies were found.
So he made a point of repeating what the patrolman had said to him.
Although, I have never met Zhang Jizhou.
However, after the elite squad led the 620 people out of Death Valley, Old Master Zhang specially asked someone to retrieve Zhang Jizhou's resume. The more he read, the more satisfied he became, and the appreciative smile in his eyes was impossible to hide.
Zhang Jizhou is actually the only champion to graduate with a perfect score since the establishment of the Devil Training Camp.
To this day, no one has surpassed him.
Why is it said that he graduated with a perfect score?
During the graduation assessment, Zhang Jizhou not only completed all the assessment items, but also took the opportunity to pluck three hairs from Gao, the former commander of the devil training camp, as a symbol of beheading.
This is not within the scope of the graduation assessment.
However, their class was utterly humiliated by this commander, and everyone secretly plotted to "decapitate" him.
In the end, only Zhang Jizhou managed to do it quietly.
The commander was a magnanimous man and greatly admired Zhang Jizhou's upright conduct.
Not only did they not criticize him, they also gave him a perfect score.
Such a courageous and resourceful person, is he really gone just like that?
