Chapter 61 Self-recommendation as Chief Commander
"Drill? What drill?"
When Yun Mo heard that there was still a chance, her eyes widened immediately.
"After every military training session, there are drills. The most common one is the Red and Blue faction battle. However, that's a place for conspiracy. Simple soldiers like me can only develop in a timid way."
Yun Mo stroked his chin. "Where do the weapons come from? How will the winner be determined?"
Huo Chuan lowered his head and played with a blade of grass, without even looking up: "Congratulations, you finally got to the point."
"The equipment for the exercise is most likely allocated based on points. If you don't have enough points..." He glanced at Yun Mo and said, "It's most likely the standard equipment."
"What is the standard configuration?" Yun Mo continued to ask.
"Basic firearms."
“Are there any non-standard ones?”
"Yes," Liu Yueban explained, "This year's base is a little different. I'm thinking it might involve street fighting."
Lin Fancheng nodded: "Isn't that the case?"
"Which one? Don't keep me in suspense." Yun Mo urged.
Liu Yueban was quite excited: "The XZ09 85mm individual multi-purpose assault ammunition that was shipped over from the base the day before yesterday..."
Huo Chuan: "What the hell? Rockets specifically for street fighting? It can't be that real?"
"I only know that Longyao Base is very rich."
Yunmo also remembered that the Type 09 rocket, weighing 7.5kg, had insufficient armor-piercing capability, but each person could carry one, enough to deal with all kinds of buildings. Could it be that it was really prepared for this incident?
"So, I didn't?" Yun Mo couldn't believe it.
"You probably don't," Liu Yueban punctured her wishful thinking. "Not only that, given your score, you might be holding your team back, causing them to be slightly inferior in terms of equipment..."
Yunmo: ...Did you minor in face-slapping?
"Let's not talk about that. What about the winner? With so many of us, how can we determine the winner?"
Liu Yueban said, "This is quite complicated. It's not just a simple head count competition. The instructors have a whole set of judging criteria, both qualitative and quantitative."
"Qualitative?" Yun Mo felt uneasy again. Quality means it can be manipulated...
"Don't worry," Liu Yueban seemed to see through her thoughts and continued, "We have a complete set of rigorous judgment logic and a patrol team. The possibility of behind-the-scenes manipulation is almost zero."
Yun Mo nodded and waited for him to continue.
"First-year courses should cover this. Victory or defeat will be determined by weighted factors such as firepower, mission, military type, and tactics. Ultimately, a comparison of the Red and Blue teams' combat effectiveness will be determined."
"For example, in a mountain offensive, if the Red Team's combat effectiveness = Firepower Index 148 * Tactical Level Optimization 1.3 * Tactical Nature of Offense 1 = 192.4.
At the same time, if calculated, the Blue Army's combat effectiveness = Firepower Index 77*Tactical Defense Nature 2.5*Hills 1.1*Defense Preparation Time 1*Tactical Level Worst Strategy 0.7=148.225.
So we can conclude that the Red Army's combat effectiveness is greater than the Blue Army's, and the Red Team wins."
Huo Chuan interrupted him: "There's no need to elaborate on this. As long as we make sure we capture enough heads and equipment, we can roughly estimate our own victory or defeat."
Yun Mo figured it out: "That is to say, tactics play a considerable role in determining victory or defeat."
Liu Yueban nodded: "Yes, but tactics are a matter of command."
Lin Fancheng felt a little melancholy. "We all eat whole grains, so why does commanding get to show off during exercises?"
Liu Yue patted him, "Don't be discouraged. If the commander lacks extraordinary control, it will be difficult to execute the strategy. Then it won't be a show, but a disgrace. Maybe he will even envy you for the pleasure of hand-to-hand combat."
"Commander? Where is he from? Who are the red and blue camps?" Yun Mo asked.
"All of us freshmen will gather together for an exercise at the end. The commander will be nominated by the instructors first, but he will most likely come from the command department," said Liu Yueban.
Yun Mo understood that mecha design and military command were almost the two most valued majors in the school.
Students in other majors at the Leicester Military Academy may have ordinary backgrounds, but the vast majority of students in the Military Command Department have backgrounds.
This is actually easy to understand. Generally, students have to start from the grassroots level after graduation. If they don’t have the ability to command others, it will be difficult for them to even be the leader of a team.
Therefore, for ordinary people, the profession of command is somewhat useless. It is better to start from the grassroots level and use military achievements to speak for yourself. This path is actually easier to follow.
Moreover, it is definitely not easy to enter the command department of Leicester. In addition to passing the physical fitness and theoretical course tests, you also have to pass the interview. There are six interviewers. They are not only the top leaders of the school, but also the top leaders of several major legions. The examination questions are practical combat strategy analysis. The performance of the candidates must satisfy more than four interviewers.
So, theoretically speaking, Yun Mo's background meant that she would never be able to pass the assessment of the command department.
However, this also shows from another level that most of the students in the conducting department of their school are quite capable.
"Actually, it can't be said so absolutely," Lin Fancheng leaned over and analyzed seriously.
"I think Millia may also become one of the commanders this time."
As soon as these words were spoken, Huo Chuan and Yun Mo looked at each other and shuddered.
"Isn't it possible?"
"Everything is possible. Her score is not low." Liu Yueban sat up and said seriously.
"If she were to take command, and the two of you were assigned to her side, I think she would send you both to your deaths without hesitation. By then, Yunmo's score would be..."
Yun Mo seemed to sense a deep malice coming from an unknown source, and she didn't like the feeling of not being able to control the overall situation.
It seems that she not only has to pin her hopes of scoring on an unknown conductor, but also has to pray that this conductor is not Millia.
"However, you can also recommend yourself to be the commander-in-chief," Liu Yueban suggested.
"Oh?" Yun Mo's eyes lit up at the idea.
"Anyone can do it? How do I recommend myself?"
Yunmo jumped up from the ground, and became energetic.
"Just find Instructor Zhang to sign up," said Liu Yueban.
"So easy?"
She found it a little unbelievable. If it was so easy, wouldn't everyone recommend themselves?
Just when Liu Yueban said the first sentence, Huo Chuan was choked by his saliva and coughed repeatedly before finally catching his breath.
While catching his breath, he pointed at Liu Yueban and tried to stop Yunmo, "No... cough... you can't go!"
"Why can't we go?" Yun Mo asked.
Lin Fancheng also sighed deeply and continued with Huo Chuan's words, "There are only two commanders-in-chief. You know that, right?"
Yun Mo nodded.
"With so many people applying, how do we choose a school? Where are the resources?"
"So what?" Yun Mo asked.
"Therefore, anyone who nominates himself to be the commander-in-chief, regardless of whether he passes or not, will have 50 basic points deducted first, and the points will be added back if he passes!" Lin Fancheng breathed a sigh of relief.
"How much?!" Yun Mo felt stars in her eyes.
Liu Yue stood up and held her shoulders. "Actually, this is a difficult choice for ordinary people like us. After all, in a military training, getting 30 points is considered a lot. Fifty points is a negative score. If we are not selected, it will be a big loss."
"Yeah!" Huo Chuan stared at Liu Yueban with a scorching gaze, as if protecting a child. "Then why did you cheat her? For those 800 star coins?"
"How am I cheating her?"
Liu Yueban said slowly, "For us, minus fifty is hard to accept. She already has minus thirty, so what's the big deal about minus fifty?!"
Yun Mo: ...Fuck! Don't poor students have dignity? How can fifty steps be the same as a hundred steps?!
"That seems to be true," Huo Chuan slapped his head and turned to look at Yun Mo, "What do you think?"
His own skills are not good enough, but there is a person here who claims to be good at fortune-telling. He can calculate a few so-called "lucky positions" and hide there, then he can kill a wave of people by ambush.
Instead of pinning your hopes of victory on a stranger, it is better to trust the charlatan next to you.
"There is no time to lose, we must hurry up," Lin Fancheng followed decisively.
"I can be your deputy commander then." Liu Yueban also said.
Yunmo: ...
Zhang Ge had thought that someone would recommend himself as the commander-in-chief, but he didn't expect that the first person to come to him would be Yun Mo.
"Want to be the commander-in-chief? Do you know your share?"
Zhang Ge sat down, flicking the records in front of him, his expression unclear.
"Instructor, command relies on brains, not brawn!"
Yun Mo pulled out a chair and sat down opposite Zhang Ge without any hesitation.
When I speak while standing, I always feel like I am reporting on work, and it is more comfortable this way.
Zhang Ge's expression was somewhat moved.
He remembered what expression he had when he saw his superior when he first joined the army.
Seemingly cramped? Adored? In desperate need of affirmation?
Even though he wasn't Yunmo's superior, it wasn't something that ordinary people could achieve for a girl to be so calm. Besides, they had a feud.
"Do you know the price you have to pay for recommending yourself as the commander-in-chief?" Instructor Zhang asked.
"Isn't it just a score?" Yun Mo nodded.
Zhang Ge felt annoyed by the distance. "Points"? "Isn't it just that?" Don't you know your points?
"Instructor, I think you should give your soldiers comradely trust! You don't disbelieve in the abilities of the people you train, do you?" Yun Mo said confidently.
Instructor Zhang had no idea where her confidence came from. Was it just because of that fight?
Did she think that a single fight could support an entire exercise? Had she ever learned how to conduct?
"If you insist on signing up, I won't stop you. But as your instructor, I want to remind you to weigh the pros and cons and not act rashly. Even though your score is low, you'll have the opportunity to make it up later. Giving up on your score is not the military style."
Instructor Zhang spoke to her earnestly and said so much to her for the first time.
Unexpectedly, Yun Mo was so stubborn. "I understand. Thank you, instructor. Weighing the pros and cons and avoiding the disadvantages is my greatest strength in winning the exercise. Please help me sign up!"
Instructor Zhang felt a little tired. This girl was hopeless. He waved his hand impatiently and motioned her to go out.
"Then instructor, you agreed, right?" Yun Mo asked.
"Wait, there will be a unified assessment in three days!" said Instructor Zhang.
"Then considering your students' negative scores, could you reveal a little about the test content?" Yun Mo said shyly.
"A practical case study, go back and study past battles!"
Zhang Ge threw down a sentence and stopped talking. This student, talking to her is simply shortening your life.
