"But Captain, we've always selected a team from the elite squad to represent our War Dance Troupe in the competition, and we've already won three championships in a row. Will sending Wu Jie and the others now disrupt the streak?"
Xiska, who was called in, was now sitting on the reception sofa in the office and said with a worried look on his face.
Mingxi held a cup of coffee and a thick stack of files and handed them to Xiska.
Xiska took it and looked at it, constantly switching between documents. After patiently reading it all, he nodded, but then shook his head. "Indeed, the military achievements are sufficient, and the battlefield command ability is also amazing. However, the rules of international military exercises are completely different from the ones we usually use here. There, it's not just a competition of strategy and tactics, but also includes the individual abilities of the war dancers, including a comprehensive test of equipment, combat skills, reaction, and awareness."
"Xiao Xi, the Silver Falcon Squad has only been here for a month, and the commander is also a newcomer. He needs to be tempered a bit more, and then..."
Xiska was about to say something else, but was suddenly interrupted by Mingxi waving his hand.
Xiska was stunned. She didn't expect the team leader to be so rude. Wu Jie did have some skills. She had defeated Firefox in the flag-grabbing competition, and her performance in this month's mission was indeed impressive. However, she had participated in international military exercises before. That was a real game of technology and perseverance. It was definitely not a test that a new team like Silver Falcon, which had just joined the team, could easily pass.
Could it be? The leader thought?
"Xiao Xi, do you want to promote Wu Jie?"
Mingxi smiled: "As expected of you, Xiaoxi, you saw through my thoughts right away. Yes, I do want to promote Wu Jie."
"Xiao Xi, are you so optimistic about him?"
"Well, the situation on the front lines is getting increasingly tense. Although our Suzaku Battle Dance Troupe has been staying on the second-line battlefield, specifically responsible for dealing with those who slip through the net, this comfortable life won't last long."
As he spoke, Mingxi handed several more military briefings to Xiska.
After taking a few glances, Siska said doubtfully, "Just like usual, a friction battle with Auroramon on the front line, nothing special."
"Take a closer look."
Seeing Mingxi so serious, Xiska was also alert enough not to be careless and looked through the book carefully, but as he read deeper and deeper, Xiska's expression became more and more solemn.
"Tell me what you think."
After carefully considering his words, Siska slowly said, "At first glance, these military reports are about the frictional battles with Auroramon over the past ten days. Auroramon hasn't made any significant moves, but I've noticed a consistent trend in all the reports."
"Go on."
"The rates of minor injuries, serious injuries, and deaths among these war dancers are increasing across the board and getting higher day by day!" The more he spoke, the more alarmed Siska became, thinking that he had stayed on the second line for too long and had lost the vigilance he should have had before.
"Auroramon has changed. I can't say exactly what has changed, but from the increasingly pessimistic battle reports from the front, I have a premonition that something bad is about to happen. Now it seems that we can rest and recuperate on the second-line battlefield for a while, but I believe that it won't be long before our Suzaku Battle Dance Group will be dragged onto the front line. Don't forget how terrifying the front line battlefield is. It's a real meat grinder!"
When it comes to the word "meat grinder", even someone as strong as Mingxi's face becomes a little gloomy.
"What does the captain mean?" Xiska no longer called Xiaoxi, but called him the captain directly, and she also became serious.
"We must promote talents regardless of their background. Now is the time to employ people. The death rate on the front lines is constantly increasing. We must do everything we can to reduce the death rate of the War Dancers, and Wu Jie is our new hope."
But why did it have to be Wu Jie? Why couldn't it be herself, or another War Dancer? Did the leader really trust this new student so much? She always had a lingering suspicion in her heart.
In fact, since joining the Suzaku War Dance Troupe, her ideas and concepts have also undergone major changes. Siska believes that the War Dancer is at the forefront of the battlefield and has unparalleled experience in how to fight Auroramon, because that is the experience gained from fighting in the field of life and death.
The feeling during combat, the ability to predict every move of the enemy, and the understanding of every enemy, these are special advantages that ordinary people cannot comprehend or understand.
Wu Jie's command ability is indeed outstanding. Xisca has read the briefing and admitted it, but the battlefield is not a joke. It is estimated that many dancers in the Suzaku War Dance Troupe will find it difficult to accept that the lives of so many war dancers are handed over to him, a new commander.
If it were in the new United Nations, it would be fine. After all, there is an actual complex command system there, and Wu Jie might be at home there.
But when she came to their Suzaku Battle Dance Troupe, to be honest, she was not very optimistic about Wu Jie's situation.
Let’s not talk about what all the dancers in the team think of Wu Jie, but now he can’t even pass this hurdle, so how can he be promoted?
Even if the team leader recognizes Wu Jie and, against all odds, promotes him to company commander, what then? Can this easily change the other dancers' opinions of Wu Jie?
But don't forget, this is a battlefield. No one is willing to put his life in the hands of a commander he completely distrusts. If Wu Jie's discord with Zhan Wu Ji eventually leads to the collapse of the team, it will be extremely fatal on the battlefield.
"I understand, Captain. So you're going to send Wu Jie to participate in this international military exercise, have him win the championship, and then use this as an excuse to force him to be promoted to a higher military rank, right?"
Xiska is not stupid. When she thought about this, she naturally understood what the leader meant.
"That's right, but not the champion. As long as he can get into the top three, I will promote Wu Jie as an exception and promote him to company commander." Ming Xi said confidently.
Xiska shook his head and said solemnly, "I'm not optimistic about this gamble. Captain, it's true that Wu Jie is capable, but he still needs experience and military achievements that will convince the public. Only then will people be convinced and avoid resentment."
"Yes, Xiska, you are always so perceptive and always able to grasp the key points. If it were that woman, she would definitely object vehemently, but she is not here now. This is a good opportunity. If we miss this opportunity, we will never have another one."
Xiska held her forehead and thought that her captain was really calculating. That person was still on the front line of the battlefield, and she took the opportunity to promote a talented person out of turn.
"Captain..."
"Don't say anything, Xiska. Let's make a bet. I bet Wu Jie will definitely be in the top three. If I lose, I will let Wu Jie gain experience. If I win, everything will be done according to my way."
Seeing Mingxi's determined face, what else could she say?
"Well then, little Xixi, don't cry when the time comes, hehe..." Siska returned to his usual non-serious image.
