Ballistic Silence of Special Years

"Minister! I'm here."

Wen Zhaohui excitedly knocked on Long Gang's door. Before the other party could speak, he saluted and walked inside.

"Has the 'Sword Forging' exercise plan been approved?!"

Long Gang withdrew his gaze from the document, looked up at his capable man, and motioned towards the chair in front of him.

"Sit first."

Wen Zhaohui was a little anxious, but still obeyed the order and sat down in the chair in front of Long Gang.

"minister……"

"and many more."

Long Gang raised his hand and interrupted him: "Don't worry, I have good news and bad news to tell you. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Wen Zhaohui's expression froze for a moment, then he squeezed out a smile and said, "Then let's hear the good news first."

Long Gang said: "You are right, the 'Forging Sword' exercise plan has been approved and will start in two months."

"So fast?!"

Wen Zhaohui was a little surprised.

After all, this exercise involves too much, and the exercise plan has been prepared for a long time. However, it will take at least a week to forward the draft for comments, prepare all theaters and arms, and then submit the list of participants.

After the participating troops are decided, the specific time for the exercise plan must be finalized. It is estimated that it will take half a month after it is formally written.

There is only one and a half months left for each region to prepare.

Of course, the most terrible thing is not here, but the time is too short, which means that the participating units have very little time for joint training and running-in with each other.

This is a great test of the joint training and joint command operations capabilities of various combat units in peacetime training.

"Hurry up, it will be more challenging."

"So..." Wen Zhaohui asked with slight hesitation: "Which theater will the red side lead this time?"

What he looks forward to most in his heart is of course the war zone where Li Zheng is located.

As long as Li Zheng's G theater takes the lead, it means that the two will meet again on the training ground.

"I know what you are thinking." Long Gang saw through Wen Zhaohui's thoughts: "This is the G theater, and my senior brother is the supreme commander of the Red Side Joint Staff Headquarters. Of course, this means that Li Zheng will also be involved. As an important member of his staff."

"Great!" Wen Zhaohui blurted out, not hiding his excitement.

After waiting for so long, aren’t you just waiting for today?
In the past few years, I have dreamed of playing against Li Zheng again.

Li Zheng has been promoted from the position of commander of the 433rd Brigade to the director of the Operations Bureau of the Theater Joint Staff Headquarters. It is difficult for him to find opportunities to confront him head-on.

The top commander of the blue side's joint staff for this "Sword Forging" exercise is Minister Long. Of course, he is also a member of the joint staff, which means he can compete with Li Zheng.

Seeing the excited Wen Zhai, Long Gang picked up the tea cup next to him, took a sip of tea, and then asked: "After hearing the good news, do you want to hear the bad news?"

Wen Zhaohui's originally relaxed expression suddenly became tense again.

In fact, if he had a choice, he would rather not listen.

But not possible.

"Minister, how bad is this news?"

He asked cautiously, his eyes focused on the minister's face, trying to find some clues.

"Actually, it's not bad news, maybe it is for you." Long Gang said, "You will not participate in the 'sword forging' exercise for the time being."

"what!?"

Wen Zhaohui suddenly stood up from his chair.

It almost bounced.

He couldn't believe what he was hearing.

The "Forged Sword" exercise is a direction that has been planned since the establishment of the White Eagle Brigade. This was the ambition that Minister Long had for himself when he was promoted from the coastal defense force to come here.

That's a general direction.

Over the years, Wen Zhaohui has been moving unswervingly in this direction.

When the White Eagle Brigade was first established, Wen Zhaohui suffered a lot of hardships and suffered a lot when faced with a situation of having nothing.

At that time, Minister Long told himself that after the White Eagle Brigade was completed and completed, it would combine with Steppe Wolf, Theater Blue Army Simulation Force, etc. to organize the largest military exercise.

At that time, my blood boiled with excitement when I heard that one, and I wished that time would come to a few years later so that I could show my talents.

Today, the dream seems to be within reach. The "sword forging" plan has been approved, but the minister suddenly said to himself that he no longer needs to be responsible?
Wen Zhaohui soon felt that he had lost his composure. He tried hard to suppress his turbulent emotions, calmed his mind and asked, "Minister, why don't you let me participate in the 'sword forging' plan?"

"Because of this, you passed."

Long Gang opened a drawer next to him, took out a notice, and handed it to Wen Zhaohui.

Wen Zhaohui took the document doubtfully and browsed the contents carefully.

The more he looked, the more complicated his expression became.

Happiness, hesitation, loss, regret, unwillingness, reluctance...

It's all written on his face.

He just took the notice and stared at it blankly without saying a word.

After a long time, Minister Long said: "Do you know the reason now?"

Wen Zhaohui handed the notice back to Minister Long and nodded: "I understand..."

This sentence is a bit difficult.

Minister Long said: "What do you think?"

Wen Zhaohui felt his mouth was dry. He wanted to speak several times, but his mouth was blocked several times. In the end, he could not say anything.

Minister Long stood up, walked to the water dispenser, poured him a glass of water, put it in front of him, then looked at his watch and said, "I have a meeting in half an hour, so I can wait for you for half an hour."

"minister……"

Wen Zhaohui finally said two words, but the next words were still broken and did not come out.

Long Gang continued: "Going to the Joint Campaign Command Training Course at the National Defense University is not an easy opportunity to wait for. How many people wait until they change careers but never wait for this opportunity. You are not young. If you miss this opportunity, everything in the future will be ruined." Promotions and promotions will be delayed. One step is delayed and the other is delayed. Generally speaking, the sooner you go, the better. You have to wait for a position when you come back. It is one thing that you are reluctant to leave the White Eagle Brigade, but do you have to think about your military future? It’s the same thing.”

"Thank you Minister."

Wen Zhaohui's words were sincere.

Long Gang is his boss.

Not only did it give him the opportunity to be transferred out of the coastal defense force, but it also gave him the opportunity to move to a higher level.

So……

go with?
Still not going?

Wen Zhaohui was in a dilemma.

Seeing him in a dilemma, Long Gang said: "The list will be submitted in three days. Will you go or not? Give me the answer within two days. If you don't go, I will give the opportunity to others."

Wen Zhaohui still couldn't make up his mind right away. Seeing what Long Gang said, he could only nod and said: "Thank you, Minister. It's hard for me to make a choice all of a sudden. I disappoint you."

Long Gang smiled and said: "I'm not disappointed. This is your normal reaction. This is indeed a difficult decision. You need some time to think about it. No matter what decision you make, I will support it."

"Thank you Chief!"

Wen Zhaohui stood up and saluted.

"If nothing happens, I want to go back first."

"Go." Long Gang said, "Go back to your own brigade, think about it carefully, and make the choice you think is right." (End of Chapter)
