Chapter 302 Can't Afford to Lose? Instructor Han Makes False Accusations! 9:00 AM, in the command center's conference room.
The air felt like solidified lead, so heavy it was hard to breathe.
A long table made up of four or five old marching tables, like a dividing line between Chu and Han, clearly separates the two camps.
On the left is the command structure of Battalion No. 2.
Head instructor Han Feng sat at the very front, his face as black as the bottom of a pot, his eyes sinister, like a hungry wolf ready to pounce and bite at any moment.
Behind him stood Yuan Bao, the commander who had been so spirited yesterday, clamoring to make the Third Battalion kneel and beg for mercy. Now, his face was pale, his lips were tightly pursed, revealing a sickly stubbornness and resentment.
His gaze darted away, avoiding eye contact with anyone. Only occasionally did he glance up, his eyes filled with humiliation and resentment that almost materialized when he looked at Jiang Yan and Su An across from him.
Zhou Lang, who was defeated by Su An alone, was different from the others in his excitement and resentment. He simply lowered his head, making it impossible to see the expression on his face.
Following them were the other three squad leaders from the Second Battalion, each looking like a defeated rooster, dejected and crestfallen.
On the right is the representative of Battalion No. 3.
Commander-in-Chief Jiang Yan sat upright, the fatigue from not sleeping all night and the small scars on his body could not hide the sharpness in his eyes.
Gao Kai, Zhuo Yue, Xu Gaogui, and the others also looked serious, their joy of victory somewhat diminished by the oppressive atmosphere.
Su Tang sat quietly on the other side of Jiang Yan, slightly behind. She still had that inconspicuous appearance, with her head slightly lowered, as if she didn't care about anything in front of her. She listened to everyone's debriefing and statements, only occasionally raising her eyes.
At the head of the conference table sat Vice Minister Zheng Hongyi from Beijing, and Lei Kuan, the chief instructor of the Third Battalion.
Zheng Hongyi had a dignified and imposing face, and his fingers tapped the table rhythmically, making a "tap, tap, tap" sound.
Lei Kuan remained expressionless as always, his weathered face revealing neither joy nor anger, only a deeper gaze than usual.
The silence lasted for a full three minutes.
Finally, Zheng Hongyi stopped knocking. He surveyed the room, his voice not loud, but carrying an undeniable authority.
"The exercise is over. There are winners and losers. Today's meeting is a debriefing and a responsibility demarcation meeting. Who performed well and who did not, we need to put it all on the table and discuss it clearly. Battalion Two, let's start. Comrade Han Feng, as the chief instructor, what do you have to say?"
Han Feng suddenly raised his head and stood up abruptly, the movement so large that the chair beneath him made a screeching sound.
He didn't look at Zheng Hongyi, but stared intently at Jiang Yan and Lei Kuan opposite him with bloodshot eyes, his voice hoarse and filled with suppressed anger.
"Reporting to Minister Zheng! I believe the results of this exercise are unfair! On behalf of all seventy soldiers of the Second Battalion, I express my dissatisfaction with the exercise results!"
He practically roared out the words "I'm not convinced."
Yuan Bao and several squad leaders from Battalion No. 2 also raised their heads, their eyes filled with humiliation and resentment.
On the Third Battalion's side, Gao Kai's eyebrows instantly furrowed into a knot, and his clenched fists cracked loudly.
