Chapter 239: Solving the Case, the Scholar with a Slightly Upper Hand
"stop!"
"No, I'm stupid. I'm still standing there."
"Don't let me catch you, you bastard."
"Old man, I definitely can't let you catch me." Chen Mo blurted out, wanting to curse "Old man, you have no martial ethics", but after thinking about it, he couldn't curse out loud after all.
This is in the director's office. He can run away, but he absolutely cannot curse back. Otherwise, if the superiors hear it, who knows how they will deal with him later.
After all, some people are not very broad-minded, and they are more likely to get beaten if they say something wrong.
Most of the people who were passing by for breakfast didn't even eat their meals. Some of them squatted in the shade of the trees in groups of three or five and watched the show live.
"Old Wang, come on, you're old, and your legs aren't as agile as before. I remember you were the fastest runner in our division back then."
"Stop talking nonsense, help me hold this guy down."
Wang Songhe responded angrily.
You’re right.
The commander's network of contacts was truly incredible. After just a few words, several veteran cadres stood up and smiled as they helped to stop the man.
Fortunately, Chen Mo fought hard enough in the reconnaissance company. Even when he was intercepted by four or five people, he managed to avoid them by dashing left and right.
"Oh, this kid is a talent."
In the distance, at the entrance of the auditorium, the chief director Fu Hongyi spoke with a smile.
A group of people nearby laughed.
There isn't much fun to do in the military camp, and having this spectacle performed early in the morning brings a different experience to the garrison.
Everyone present knew why Wang Songhe was angry. This was an experimental-scale exercise for the second phase of the mechanized transformation.
The entire division, from top to bottom, has been preparing for nearly nine months. They rely on this exercise to gain honor and apply for more resources next year.
If we really want to discuss it.
In the Seventh Operations Zone, the Red Army Division's overall strength was no match for the Blue Army Division, and not just because the Blue Army was the host.
Even though they are both Type A divisions, the 61st Division is known as the Northern Motorized Infantry Division and represents the face of the Jincheng Military Region. This is not an honor that can be shouted out.
But it is real combat results.
Now, he has become the first division commander to have his command center wiped out among the nine combat zones. This grudge is quite big.
The two sides chased each other for about six or seven minutes.
Fu Hongyi waved his hand and said, "Alright, stop making trouble. It will be bad if you continue making trouble."
"Let them both come over."
"yes!"
Xu Wuan, commander-in-chief of the 47th Army, nodded in response and strode to the edge of the square west of the 10th Company in front of the auditorium.
No need to say anything.
The coming of a leader with a star on his shoulder was more effective than any words. Chen Mo saw someone interfering, grinned, and quickly ran to Xu Wuan.
Stop, stand at attention, salute.
"Hello, Chief!"
"Um!"
When Commander Xu saw the boy in front of him, he didn't have much of a good temper and responded indifferently.
After all, the 61st Division is a unit under his jurisdiction. Who would be happy to see it being messed up like this by the Information Battalion?
In other words, he was proud of his status and didn't want to argue with the younger generation.
Otherwise, he would want to use his big feet to measure the size of Chen Mo's cheeks and kick him to vent his anger.
When Wang Songhe saw his immediate superior coming, he knew that this farce had to end.
He stopped chasing, walked over, glanced at Chen Mo and snorted coldly.
The dissatisfaction and resentment were written directly on his face.
"Alright, Lao Wang, don't get angry with the youngster. You also have an unshirkable responsibility. Think about how to respond to the chief's inquiries later."
"Both of you, come here. Aren't you ashamed of chasing each other here so early in the morning?"
Xu Wuan yelled twice in annoyance, then turned and walked towards the auditorium.
Wang Songhe quickly adjusted his military uniform. He was really angry. He turned around and saw that the boy named Chen was actually imitating his movements and also adjusting his military uniform.
Lao Wang bared his teeth and forced himself to suppress his anger.
Quickly follow Xu Wuan's footsteps.
Chen Mo hesitated for a long time, deliberately kept a distance from the two of them, and walked into the auditorium.
At this moment, it was lunchtime and there were not many people in the auditorium.
Fu Hongyi, the commander-in-chief of the Kyoto Military Region, is here, as is Pang Haifeng, the commander-in-chief of the Jincheng Military Region.
A group of high-ranking leaders were present at the scene. Chen Mo just looked up and sighed.
A feeling of "my life is over" arose in my heart.
He had followed the leader and served as a confidential secretary, so he knew very well what the military style of the field army was like.
That is completely different from what is portrayed in TV dramas. In front of these old men, the vulgar idea that a great man can be made by beating him with a stick is always prevalent.
Looking at Chen Mo standing at the door of the auditorium, he was afraid to come in.
Fu Hongyi grinned and said, "This kid is quite a thief."
"Come here, why are you standing so far away?"
"Don't worry, no one will bother you."
"It would be strange if there weren't any." Chen Mo muttered to himself, but he couldn't show it on his face. He looked like he was obediently doing what he was told and was extremely touched.
Walk quickly into the auditorium.
As Chen Mo walked in, Fu Hongyi's kind and friendly face gradually froze.
Then he stood up and slammed his hand on the conference table.
Outside the door, five or six guards heard the noise and rushed over.
"Can you dodge it? You're the tough one, aren't you, you bastard?"
"You dare to use the idea of casualties during non-wartime? I think you are tired of living. Let me show you the ruthless side of the field army."
"Catch this guy and give him a good beating!"
Fu Hongyi gave the order personally.
How could the guards dare not disobey? In an instant, the entire auditorium was filled with screams like pigs being slaughtered.
It sounds like he got beaten pretty hard.
In fact, people like Chen Mo are just like an old sow digging the ground, and their skills are just talking.
He dodged here and there throughout the auditorium. The guards didn't really want to beat him, and the people above him didn't really want to beat him.
It's just that people from the Kyoto Military District borrowed the Jincheng Military District's exercise site to conduct experiments, and ultimately put the other party's Type A division in a difficult position.
People from the Jincheng Military Region should be able to handle this kind of situation, right?
The information technology experiment was led by you people in Kyoto. Why did you mess up our division?
The unit known as the Northern Type A Motorized Infantry Division was defeated in the exercise, and the division commander was almost captured. The impact of this is not just a matter of victory or defeat in the exercise.
It was reasonable and logical for Chen Mo to avoid this beating. Of course, he was beaten in front of so many people.
Privately, everyone in the Jincheng Military Region, from the chiefs to the cadres and even the soldiers, could no longer complain about this matter.
There must be no private revenge or anything like that. This is to protect Chen Mo and also to allow for better cooperation in the future.
Chen Mo knew this would happen, so he shouted so happily.
He was hit by three punches and two kicks. Even though his skin wasn't broken and his flesh wasn't red, he screamed like pus was being squeezed out. It was so fucking miserable.
Even the resentful Wang Songhe couldn't help but feel a sense of grief for the other party.
The system experiment failed, and he admitted the power of informatization, but he was angry at Chen Mo's behavior on the battlefield.
To be able to reach the level of division commander, he had been beaten up by the old men from various military regions many times before.
Even among the cadres present, there were very few or almost no one who could squeeze into such an occasion at Chen Mo's age.
Pang Haifeng, the commander-in-chief of the Jincheng Military Region, was beaten until he picked up the water cup on the table and took a sip of tea.
Fu Hongyi waved his hand and signaled the guards to leave.
After being beaten up, Chen Mo reached out and tugged at the corner of his clothes. There was no youthful resentment on his face, but instead a look of relief.
Because in this kind of situation, if there are any signs of young people being arrogant and unwilling to accept the result, it may be the last time such a situation occurs.
Pang Haifeng had never seen this young man before. Seeing him so calm, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes. He took a cigarette from the cigarette box on the table and handed it to Fu Hongyi.
Then he laughed and said, "Lieutenant Chen, you have offended a lot of people this time."
Chen Mo straightened his chest. It was inevitable to offend people, it was normal.
All the hard work of tens of thousands of people over half a year has been wasted. If some senior officers have no emotions, that would be weird.
I have no emotions. Why did I get beaten just now?
No one is perfect, and it is impossible for them to be without faults. It is understandable that they have emotions, but we cannot agree with them.
He came from the future and knew very well that the organization and combat methods of the Blue Army Camp were the most mature.
What's more, the Blues were born without a bottom line, which is why they are regarded as the real bottom line. It is not without reason that the Blues can become a whetstone.
Besides, there is an even more cruel future Blue Army brigade commander who has not appeared yet. He always simulates nuclear strikes and cheats by announcing the Red Army’s losses.
Which one is not more infuriating than the so-called "non-wartime damage" created by ourselves?
The field army has not experienced a large-scale war since the advent of the mechanized era, so it is better not to have some bottom lines.
"Chief, I have reasons!" Chen Mo responded with his head held high.
"oh?"
Pang Haifeng, the commander-in-chief of the Jincheng Military Region, didn't expect the young man in front of him to actually defend him. He looked at Fu Hongyi with interest and said with a smile, "Shall we talk?"
"Then let's talk." Chen Mo said sincerely.
"Commander, I know about the experimental process of this information battalion. Some battles were too extreme."
"Commander Wang is still upset about it."
When Chen Mo said this, he deliberately glanced at Wang Songhe. This guy made Wang, who had been listening attentively, suddenly said angrily: "What are you looking at me for? Go ahead and talk."
"Yeah! Okay."
Chen Mo responded and continued, "When I first joined the army, my squad leader was a second-class professional sergeant, and now he has been promoted to a fifth-class non-commissioned officer."
"My squad leader is a very good soldier. He once told me a story when I was just commissioned and became a real soldier."
"This story was said to have been told by my squad leader."
"That's about the enemy's shape."
"The enemy's shape?" Pang Haifeng narrowed his eyes. It was an interesting statement.
"Go on."
"yes!"
Chen Mo nodded: "This story takes place during a conflict in a certain region. It's just a small episode in the entire war."
"There are only a few enemies. They can't even be described as an army. At most, they are just a group of militants."
"They were bored, so they caught a girl, about eight or nine, at the scene of the conflict. They told her that if she could hold back from crying, shouting, blocking or cursing while they chopped off her legs, they would let her go."
"The child was very scared and agreed to all the militants' demands."
"But the knife struck the knee too slowly and it was too painful. The child couldn't help but instinctively raised his hand to block it."
"At this point, the militants were furious. The little girl had dared to disobey."
"Commander, this is the enemy's shape. The exercise is not an actual combat, but we must conduct it on an actual combat scale."
"Since this is an actual battle, the enemy I face, even if it is an imaginary enemy, should be this kind of imaginary one."
"That's why I will do whatever it takes, spare no effort, and try every possible way to kill the enemy."
Chen Mo let out a long sigh and finished his story.
During the experimental period of the Information Battalion, he accepted the punishment and was willing to be beaten no matter how many mistakes he made in tactical arrangements.
But he couldn't admit this mistake.
Otherwise, if we go to the battlefield next time, will we have to hang a banner, beat drums and gongs, write slogans on them, and tell people that we are here to fight?
Chen Mo told this story calmly.
However, many leaders present were furious after hearing this, and even the air conditioning in the auditorium seemed to drop by several degrees.
Because most of the leaders present had experienced similar wars, they knew that the story was true.
It was even ten times more cruel than what Chen Mo described.
I have to say that there is a reason why Chen Mo is called a scholar after listening to this story.
Even Wang Songhe's inner anger had mostly disappeared and was almost negligible.
Pang Haifeng looked calm and said nothing.
Instead, Fu Hongyi, who had been silent for a long time, nodded slightly and said, "I agree with Lieutenant Chen's point of view."
"In every peaceful period in history, ordinary people have believed themselves to be in a civilized society, but they are not. Otherwise, what would a two-legged sheep be throughout history?"
"War is a catastrophe. We have suffered more than any other nation. Our population has been reduced by tens of millions."
"And the little girl that Lieutenant Chen just told us about, her experience was not someone else's, but exactly what we went through decades ago, and it feels like it happened just yesterday."
"This hatred will never be forgotten. When it happens to one person, it's a tragedy. But when it happens to a nation, it's a shame that can never be washed away or forgotten!"
There was no sound in the auditorium for a long time.
It is indeed a bit heavy to bring up this topic so early in the morning.
But this is Chen Mo's true words. Giving up illusions and preparing for war is what a soldier should do most.
How many normal people would dare to look at the declassified materials of Unit 731 from a certain experimental unit?
But the enemy dares to do it.
After a long silence, Chen Mo finally spoke: "Commander, you think the combat process of this information experiment was too extreme. Please forgive me for being frank. I accept the punishment, but I do not agree that it was excessive."
"Soldiers, it's boring to talk about bottom lines and high-sounding things on the battlefield. Now that the troops have been pulled from their bases to the battlefield, why not have a big fight?"
"Winning or losing depends on your own ability."
"I really like Commander Wang at the beginning of the war. At that time, in order to destroy our entire battalion, he mobilized an entire fighter formation."
"But I don't like the later Division Commander Wang. The armored firepower on the Eastern Front was depleted and without support, he became timid in the fight. Even though the Eastern Front had no firepower support, he decisively abandoned the Eastern Front."
"Gather the main forces in the northwest and the southern front to penetrate the Red Army. With the advantage of the Blue Army's aviation division in gaining air superiority, this battle can still be won."
Upon hearing this, Pang Haifeng glanced at Wang Songhe, then signaled Chen Mo to continue.
"Commander, my knowledge is limited, but I believe that since there are red and blue forces on the battlefield, we should fight tooth for tooth and repay evil with evil."
“Use the dirtiest means to deal with the enemy, because no matter how dirty we are, we are not even one tenth, or even one hundredth, of the real enemy.”
"We lack such people. Soldiers, whether they are used to defend peace or to attack, is a matter of opinion."
"But war cannot allow the Confucian scholars to rise up and brave men to die. From then on, the Shenzhou boasted of benevolence and righteousness."
"Benevolence, righteousness, and nobility are all illusions of the military. As long as war breaks out, there's no need to talk about bottom lines. If the bottom line is too high, we'll forget what it means to be shocking."
Chen Mo continued speaking alone.
Everyone in the auditorium was listening.
Of course, as leaders, few people would be happy to be lectured by a junior from the bottom of their hearts.
But Chen Moxian used the enemy's shape as the starting point for the topic, and successfully cleared up all the illegal operations of the Blue Army Camp in this operation.
As early as the last time I left the 184th Regiment’s base.
Chen Mo had a vague feeling that the Blue Army Camp should no longer exist on the battlefield.
First of all, if they come here under the name of an experiment, they should withdraw after the experiment is over.
Secondly, once the balance of a combat zone is broken and a Type A division fails to perform to its full potential for various reasons, not only will months of preparation be wasted.
Not only did many officers feel bad, but defeat also meant that by the end of the year, thousands or even more soldiers would leave the army.
The price is too high and too heavy.
I waited until I got outside the auditorium, and the people who had breakfast came back one after another, and the sound of their footsteps could be clearly heard inside.
Pang Haifeng waved his hand and said, "Lieutenant Chen's point of view is correct, but you are still young and don't understand the details of some situations."
"But I approve of your report."
"Wang Songhe."
"arrive!"
Hearing the leader calling him, Lao Wang quickly straightened his chest.
"Chen Mo is young, and perhaps he wasn't thoughtful enough. As a senior, you should have given him guidance and warnings, instead of causing a farce like today."
"Report, no, I realized my mistake."
Wang Songhe hurriedly shook his head. This damn scholar had persuaded the leaders above him. What else could he do?
"Not only must you recognize this, but you must also conduct a profound self-examination to reflect on your mistakes in command this time."
"Alright, the morning's battle is about to begin. Both of you go back and write a serious report on this battle."
"During the review meeting, I will call on you to speak on stage."
"yes!"
Wang Songhe's face darkened. Damn, it's useful to be able to talk.
After all this time, I still have to do a deep self-criticism and write a battle report, but that guy named Chen has nothing to do?
What the hell is going on?
But since the leader had spoken, Chen Mo had to leave. However, before leaving, he looked up at Fu Hongyi who was sitting in front of him.
I noticed that Commander Fu had a smile on his face, a victorious look on his face, and waved his hand slightly to signal me to leave.
Only then did Chen Mo stride out of the auditorium with his head held high and his chest puffed out.
To put it bluntly, what happened today is that the higher-ups want to decide the "case" of the Seventh War Zone's operations.
If Chen Mo fails to grasp the key point and is scolded by people from the Jincheng Military Region, Fu Hongyi will also feel embarrassed privately.
But let him mess it up like this.
No matter what the head of the Jincheng Military Region thinks, this is Kyoto.
This can be regarded as a complete closure for their gossips.
