They are all in the army, who is in love?

Chapter 261 Review meeting, what is the cheating Blue Army?
"what happened?"

Du Longfei, who was organizing a roll call in the distance, noticed something was wrong here and trotted over to ask about the situation.

"Hello comrade, the director's department has invited Comrade Chen Ming to attend the review meeting."

The observer patiently explained it again.

"Should Lao Chen go to the review meeting?" Du Longfei was also stunned by the sudden news.

What is review?

To put it bluntly, it is a review. Reviewing in front of the head of the director's department, whether it is the Red Army or the Blue Army, will be like on the battlefield, except that the command of the battle will be replaced by words, and the mistakes and shortcomings of the other party will be pointed out mercilessly.

In other words, it was just a verbal spat in the past, but what's the use of Chen Ming going there?Everyone there is at the level of the commander-in-chief of the military region. Who does he dare to criticize?Who can I spray?

Spray the Eighth Master?There is a high probability that the Eighth Division will not go.

The review meeting of the director's department is a meeting with a high price and a small number of people. Considering the overall battlefield situation, the following units will naturally have their own meetings.

As for getting to the battalion level, don't even think about it. They basically just hung their heads and listened to instructions to organize themselves. How could there be any review meeting for them to attend?
Not at all.

Just wait to be scolded.

Du Longfei was stunned for only a moment, but he quickly reacted and poked Chen Ming with his elbow: "Go, Old Chen, leave this place to me and Old Zhang."

"We'll take people there to gather"

"You should study hard when you get there, listen to the explanation of the big military training from above, and talk to me when you come back."

"Let me also feel the atmosphere of the review meeting."

"Comrade Chen Ming, let's go. The meeting will start soon. Let's not be late."

The observer urged again.

Chen Ming nodded, exchanged a few words with Du Longfei, and strode out of the Southern Xinjiang Military Region campus.

Along the way, many familiar Blue Army soldiers raised their hands to say hello. Although this place is big, there are 2 people crammed into it. No matter how big it is, it will be crowded. Now I can finally leave.

Follow the observers from the director's department on the helicopter.

With the rumbling sound, the helicopter took off. Chen Ming stared at the surrounding environment in mid-air in boredom. He was not familiar with southern Xinjiang and did not know where the director's department was located.

Troops everywhere on the ground were retreating. Looking down from his perspective, tanks, armor, artillery vehicles, and missile vehicles looked like toys, and the crowds were even more densely packed.

Everywhere.

The consumption of a large-scale military training is absolutely astronomical.

Chen Ming sighed with emotion. He waited for about five to 10 minutes. The helicopter flew at least hundreds of kilometers before landing on the apron of a military area.

Under the guidance of the observer, Chen Ming followed and stood in front of an agency building in the military region.

"Comrade Chen Ming, um, please wait here for a moment. The meeting may take a while. The commanders-in-chief of each military region will come over later. Just follow them to the conference room."

"Okay, please, comrade."

Chen Ming nodded and looked around the surrounding environment. This should be a military division headquarters in southern Xinjiang. It covers a small area.

They were all in the director's department, so there was no need for any disguise. Chen Ming took out the epaulettes from his pocket and put them on his camouflage uniform again.

Facing the military mirror in the hall of the agency building, she looked so pretty inside and out that the soldiers on duty at the door couldn't help but look sideways, and then she gave up.

Wandering around the military area again.

Fortunately.

Not long after, several more helicopters landed from high altitude on the tarmac in the distance, and several commanders-in-chief walked towards the agency building with smiles.

The military training had just ended, and many personnel had not had time to come back. There were almost no people in the entire military division.

The figure of Chen Ming strolling in front of the government building is extremely unique. He is the only one looking left and right with his hands behind his back.

It quickly attracted the attention of Feng Chunyang, the commander-in-chief of the 71st Army. He knew that the director's department had notified him to go to the Fifth Battalion.

But when it came to Chen Ming coming to attend the review meeting, Feng Chunyang didn't know because it was a short notice.

"Why did this kid come here?"

Feng Chunyang glanced at him in shock, raised his head and shouted: "Chen Ming."

"arrive."

"Come here."

Feng Chunyang waved, and the commanders following him all raised their heads and looked at Chen Ming.

This name was really not very famous before, at least in their circle, it was unknown.

But today is different.

In this major military training, the Red Army was able to completely defeat the "cheating" Blue Army on the frontal battlefield with overwhelming force. The reason was that it could not bypass the famous bandit brigade among the Red Army.

The leader of the bandit brigade is Chen Ming.

This is something that has been spreading on the battlefield recently.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the Blue Army is cheating. Whenever red and blue fight, the Blue Army always has the home field advantage, except for professionally trained Blue Army units like Zhu and Rihe.

The standard for evaluating the Blues in other battlefields is that whoever has the home field advantage is the Blues.

For example, in this major military training, the eastern theater traveled thousands of kilometers to fight with the western theater. On other people's territory, the western theater was designated as a blue army unit.

The advantages of cheating don’t end there. The home court means familiarity. The Blues are familiar with the flowers, grass, ravines, and even where there are rat holes. The Blues’ soldiers know it.

They were not tired from the long journey and did not have to adapt to this unfamiliar climate. The Red Army was unable to gain a stable foothold.

In addition to these, the director will also favor the blue army. It is common for tanks to be knocked down on the battlefield and then "resurrect" in an instant to continue firing at the red army.

The helicopter was blown up and took off again in the blink of an eye, firing at the Red Army, which was also a routine operation.

The Blue Army is all kinds of unreasonable, all kinds of magical operations, and all kinds of preferential treatment.

Are you not convinced?

It's useless. The Red Army soldiers were so angry that they jumped up and shouted, "It's unfair. Is it useful?"
Still useless.

why?
The reason is simple. In red and blue operations, it is the Red Army troops who are tempered, not the Blue Army.

There is no reason at all on the real battlefield. The blue army simulates the enemy army. They want to push the red army into a desperate situation. All kinds of unreasonable things will happen on the battlefield.

Faced with these unreasonable situations, the Red Army had no way to resist. It had only one choice, and that was to accept it.

And stood up to defeat him.

The conditions of the Red Army in all aspects of the exercise were extremely harsh. The rear transportation baggage line was stretched the longest by the director, making supplies the most difficult.

The road where they were assigned to be stationed had been destroyed by the Blue Army in advance, almost to the extent that every section of the road required the tanks to use their maximum strength to complete.

Many Red Army units were eliminated without ever seeing the Blue Army.

The Blue Army has a flat terrain and huge advantages, and these problems do not exist at all.

With sufficient firepower and short supply lines, the Red Army was once overwhelmed by the infinite resurrection of the Blue Army.

There were soldiers holding explosives and diving under the 99A main battle tank to blow up the Blue Army tank completely. The director was so frightened that the director had to order a ceasefire.

Why do you do this?Why does the director's department favor the Blues?

Because only Red Army troops who have undergone such training can face the real enemy on the battlefield in the future.

Many times the Red Army cannot defeat the Blue Army in large-scale training, not because the Blue Army is strong, but because the conditions are too harsh for the Red Army.

Harsh to the extreme.

But this time, although the notice for the major military training in the two theaters was relatively urgent, the preparation time before starting was also very short.

However, the Blue Army still "cheats" many times on the frontal battlefield. Soldiers "resurrection from the dead" and Blue Army tanks that were blown up by bombs inexplicably "recover as before". There are countless examples.

They still lost.

If the reason is investigated, it must be partly due to the bandit brigade.

Because the war was late, the Red Army troops were freed up in advance by the 71st Army and joined the battlefield to encircle the Blue Army troops.

Coupled with the fact that the opponent's supplies were not replenished in time, even if there were infinite resurrections, they would be overwhelmed.

Under such circumstances, could Chen Ming, the leader of the bandit brigade, not be noticed?

Watching Chen Ming trot over.

Several commanders in chief stopped and looked at him with interest. "Why are you here?"

Feng Chunyang looked Chen Ming up and down, and he was really surprised.

On the second day after the war started, Chen Ming went to the military region headquarters to report on his work, so he naturally recognized Feng Chunyang.

He quickly stood at attention and raised his hands in salute.

"Hello, Chief."

"The leader of the report is the observer comrade from the director's department who informed me to come over and attend the meeting."

"From the elimination camp, brought me here."

"Oh, I see."

Feng Chunyang smiled and looked at Chen Ming with an even more appreciative gaze, as gentle as looking at a piece of jade.

The director's arrangement was based on the instructions of the chief director and analyzed the results of this major training. Although the fifth battalion participated for a short time, the decline of the Blue Army was related to them.

The people above wanted to take this opportunity to meet him.

It also saves you having to make an extra trip to the military area later.

After figuring out the reason, Feng Chunyang waved to the guards behind him. One of the soldiers quickly took out a pen and a notebook from his backpack and handed them to Chen Ming.

Chen Ming quickly took it with both hands.

"Let's go, you go to the review meeting with me. Remember, you have to listen more, watch more, learn more, and record more there."

"Listen to the review experience and combat arrangements, which will be helpful to you in the future."

"Yes, Chief."

Chen Ming saluted again, put away his pen and notebook, and followed the commanders in command.

Come to the director's department.

To be precise, the training was over at this time, not in the director's department, but in the large conference room.

When I was outside the agency building just now, I didn't know that it was already busy. Many staff were retrieving information. On the big screen were data about the military training, combat assessment reports, exercise images and video materials, as if they were just watching a horse. Play in rotation on the big screen.

After following Feng Chunyang into the conference room, Chen Ming stopped following. The people sitting in front had epaulettes that were more scary than the last. They were all holding wheat ears and stars, and no one had a bar.

He, who only had one bar, was considered the only one in the entire conference room. He just found a corner and sat there quietly.

Spread out your notebook, take off the cap of your pen, sit up straight and wait for the meeting to begin.

Anyway, whether you can understand it and record it, at least your posture must be adequate.

After waiting for about half an hour, a chief with the same level as the commander-in-chief of the military region stood on the stage and glanced around the audience.

According to the introduction of the character on the big screen behind him, Chen Ming recognized that this person should be the executive director of the directing department.

The so-called executive director is responsible for arranging filming, retaining and analyzing some combat footage of mistakes on the battlefield.

The power is far less than that of the chief director.

The other party first asked the busy people to stop what they were doing and return to their seats. Then he adjusted the microphone in front of them and said in a deep voice: "Comrades, this Peace Envoy training has come to an end."

"Let me first briefly describe some of the remaining issues that arose during the battle between the red and blue armies."

"This is an old problem of all armies. It has appeared frequently in the past, and it has not been avoided this time."

"The first point is to train for war. Don't cover up the purpose of training for the sake of winning or losing. This issue has been raised in conferences many times before. There have been rectifications in recent years, but it still appeared this year."

"In a major military training, if there is a confrontation, there will definitely be a winner or loser. Our soldiers have always respected honor and naturally attach importance to victory and defeat. This is understandable."

"But what I want to say is that the exercise ground is not a battlefield after all, and winning or losing is not the ultimate goal of the exercise. We use the forces of the two theaters to engage in a free-spirited war, not to achieve a result. The eastern theater wins, or the western theater wins. Does winning make sense?”

"Discovering problems through exercises, making up for shortcomings, and then improving the combat effectiveness of the troops are the fundamental issues of military training."

"For a long time, there has been a very strange phenomenon in the training grounds of some troops, that is, they only look at the results but not the process, they only look at the wins and losses without considering the gains and losses, and they only seek influence regardless of combat effectiveness."

"I can understand all of this. What's even more egregious is that some units even resort to fraud for the sake of so-called winning or losing."

"During the operation, the director's department arranged a supervision team to conduct temporary surprise inspections at some headquarters and found many problems."

"I will announce the specific units that were raided and inspected later."

"As for the fraud, the reasons are nothing more than serious thoughts of fame and fortune, vanity, and incorrect views on political achievements. The growth of these phenomena will greatly reduce the effectiveness of the exercise and do great harm to the building of the combat effectiveness of the troops."

"Soldiers are born to win. If they cannot win on the battlefield, even if they become victorious generals in exercises, so what?"

"For the military, and for us commanders, discovering problems and summarizing experiences and lessons learned during exercises is far more important than winning or losing itself."

"The last thing I want to say is that if we want to truly practice combat, we cannot be influenced by the temporary victory or defeat on the training ground, let alone stop training out of greed for vanity."

"Okay, here are the various problems that arose when the supervision team raided the red and blue headquarters. These will be discussed and resolved at the conference first."

After the executive director finished speaking, rows of videos divided into countless pieces appeared on the big screen at the back.

Chen Ming has never participated in a meeting of this level, but he also knows that those combat units that can be shown on the big screen will probably suffer.

He looked up at the video divided into sections and casually observed that Chen Ming himself had a headache.

The supervision team's record arranged by the director's department is indeed very strict. It can be seen from the video that there is a war outside and the combat readiness level is in rotation. Some company leaders are still entertaining the supervision team and pouring water for them.

There were also some brigade headquarters combat meetings. The content of the meetings was clearly about how to fight, how to attack, and how to deploy firepower, but the minutes of the meetings were projected onto the large projector screen.

Not showing the combat situation map is like having a sand table in front of you and a group of people not using it, but turning around and sitting on the conference table to talk about combat deployment.

In addition, the coordination between tanks and infantry on the battlefield was not in place, and the infantry did not follow the tanks in the attack. Especially when fighting at close range, the tank's blind spot could reach as high as three meters and everything within three meters could not be seen.

Including when evacuating and hiding, the distance between S car and G car was too close, and the main attack direction was not considered carefully.

Good guy, Chen Ming was so surprised when he saw him sitting in the corner. He always thought that many details of the battle would not be paid attention to by the higher-ups.

Unexpectedly, these coordination issues were first highlighted at the review meeting.

At first, Chen Ming didn't know what he should record, but as he listened, he realized that among the problems currently faced by many troops, there were aspects that even the fifth battalion had not overcome.

He also started recording.

The longer the meeting lasts, the more review questions will be raised.

At the end, the chief director Feng Hongyi appeared and stood in the front and shouted harshly. He was merciless and hit the mark everywhere.

The commander-in-chief Chen Ming, who was sitting at the front, could not see it. Anyway, the members of the brigade-level unit observation group who were relatively close to him were said to be sitting on pins and needles and sweating profusely.

Feng Hongyi is worthy of being a veteran who has been on the battlefield. His white hair shows no signs of losing his momentum. His categorical speech brings endless majesty, and his penetrating eyes analyze various problems.

Originally, Chen Ming thought that a review meeting like this would end in two or three hours.

But what he never expected was that the meeting started in the afternoon and lasted for seven or eight hours. It didn't end until late at night.

The commander-in-chief who came with him always sat in the front row without any rest time.

The main theme is just one: when you are hungry, you hold it in, and when you have urine, you hold it in.

During the review meeting, the commanders of the red and blue sides fiercely exchanged words, criticizing each other's combat plan for being backward and inadequate. There were several times where they grinned and made their faces red and thick-necked.

If Chen Ming hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have expected that the usually so kind commander-in-chief would be quite powerful after arriving here.

His mouth was like a machine gun, continuously pointing out more than 30 problems when the Blue Army was fighting.

The commanders of the Blue Army who insisted on speaking lowered their heads and remained silent.

Later, the chief director Feng Hongyi used video playback, example evidence, data analysis, etc. to expose the shortcomings and corrections of the red and blue sides one by one, instruction by instruction, subject by subject, action by action, and equipment by piece.

There was not a single word of praise during the whole process, and the red and blue commanders were all talked about so hard that sweat broke out on their foreheads.

Even Chen Ming, who was sitting in the corner, grinned when he heard it. It seemed that the commanders-in-chief of the military region had a hard time. When I had never been in contact with him before, I always thought that they just sat in the command room and gave orders.

Unexpectedly, one thing is good for another, and even in a larger meeting, he will still be scolded.

The meeting lasted until after eleven o'clock, and then it was finally adjourned temporarily. Yes, it was adjourned temporarily.

Because the executive director said that he would continue to come over for the meeting at eight o'clock the next day, and the review meeting was expected to last three days.

Chen Ming stood up and stood in the corner to stretch his body. He didn't care. Anyway, he took care of food and housing here, so he had gained experience.

Just as the commanders-in-chief of all military regions left the conference room, he was about to leave.

As if he suddenly discovered him, Feng Hongyi, the chief director of the rear area, waved and said with a smile: "Little comrade, are you Chen Ming?"

"Come on, come on, wait a moment."
