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

Chapter 364 The competition is fair and just, and the competition reveals true talent and learning

There was a lot of movement from the vehicles outside. Without waiting for notification, Chen Ming got up from his dormitory and quickly got dressed.

Yesterday, the conference did not say where this competition would be held, nor what specific subjects it would include.

But it was clearly pointed out that this competition, from the content setting to the examination room structure, from the selection of examiners to the refereeing rules, all adhered to one principle.

That is, the competition must be strict, difficult and based on actual combat.

Randomly screen peripheral personnel and temporarily arrange competition test questions, including selecting the location of the competition, the method of competition, and the personnel of the referee team. These are all temporarily selected.

No one will be told in advance what events will be played next.

All written notices and document notices only provide a general introduction to the projects that need to be participated.

It's just that there are more than [-] people, and it is impossible to participate in every event. Instead, they choose a random selection method.

It can be said that no one can escape this battle.

It all depends on their luck.

If you are lucky, you may get a subject that you are good at. If you are not lucky, you will have nothing to say.

The above meaning is obvious. To strengthen the army, we must first strengthen the generals, and to assess the officers first, this can never be circumvented.

As mentioned at the meeting last night, this competition includes both traditional physical skills subjects and satellite positioning operations with a high degree of information technology.

There are both single-subject competitions and group assignment competitions, with continuous assignments lasting up to thirty-four hours.

There is also one of the competitions, which is a map without any prompts and is identified solely by recording. All participating comrades are required to have skilled operating skills of the integrated command platform.

What else needs to be done in four hours to continuously complete basic theory, remote sensing image interpretation, measurement and analysis integration to generate situation maps, and computer plotting and other subjects.

In short, the news that all participants have received so far is that this competition is very difficult and the subjects are randomly selected.

The purpose is to effectively test and improve the theoretical foundation of combat planning and business skills of those who come here to participate in the competition.

Chen Ming was unsure about the subjects selected for this competition.

For example, all the drawings are based on recordings and remote sensing images. These are equivalent to integrating the previous staff methods into the current unified assessment.

The skills of the new era and the techniques mastered by the previous staff are integrated and unified.

If you have not prepared in advance.

No matter how experienced the veteran is, he is more likely to capsize in this kind of competition.

It was still dark outside and light rain was falling, but rows of vehicles were ready to go.

When Chen Ming ran to the water room to wash up, he was still thinking about the subjects of this competition. It wasn't that he was big-hearted. He was wandering around in circles yesterday. He only realized how nervous he was when it was time to take the test today.

But this is the design this time.

There are more than two hundred people, randomly divided into groups, random subjects, there are group competitions, individual competitions, and unified all subjects.

This thing is not a [-]-meter obstacle course, nor is it a five-kilometer cross-country race. Chen Ming is confident that there is no pressure to win against a group of older men.

It’s all about experience and technical skills.

I don’t know if Vice President Lin of the Joint Warfare Academy, who is the main person organizing the competition, will be able to see him today.

"Pooh!"

Chen Ming quickly spit out the toothbrushing water in his mouth and stuffed the cup, towel, basin, and other toiletries together.

As mentioned in the meeting last night, this competition is going to be round the clock and last for three days. Who knows if there will be a chance to come back in the middle.

He regretted taking the suitcase with him before going out. Although it looked good and had enough style, it was inconvenient for emergency use.

Fortunately, there was a prepared backpack in the dormitory. Chen Ming stuffed all these things into it, put it on his back, opened the dormitory door, and came outside to prepare for gathering.

I thought he was fast enough.

Good guy, after arriving in the corridor, Chen Ming discovered that dozens of people were already standing in the dark corridor on the first floor, including Liu Zhiyang next door, who was also carrying a backpack and was ready to participate in the competition.

"What's going on?" Chen Ming walked a few steps quickly and came to Liu Zhiyang to ask.

He only heard the movement of the motorcade outside, but did not hear the whistle blowing for a gathering.

"I don't know. Just wait. Who knows which leaders will be attending this competition? Don't worry if they didn't say they would gather."

"There's no point in being anxious." Chen Ming shrugged with his backpack on his back. Knowing whether he would set off or not, he opened his mouth and yawned.

I got up just now because I was awakened by the noise and thought the competition was about to start.

Now that I understand the situation and know that the time is not up, I am no longer tense. After relaxing suddenly, I really feel a little sleepy.

Hear the movement here.

Liu Zhiyang muttered for a while, and the officers waiting in the corridor all frowned into the character "Chuan". Dozens of people stood in the narrow corridor, all of them with solemn expressions.

Are you tired of watching this one?

Although he had been in contact with Chen Ming before, he didn't have much friendship in private. It was all work-related knowledge.

In my impression, Chen Ming was young and promising, he was steady and resolute in his actions. He was able to keep the entire fire department in order at a young age. He was a rare general. However, after two days together this time, something didn't feel right.

Maybe it's because he's too young.

"Chen Chu, are you so confident about this competition? I see you don't care at all." Liu Zhiyang asked in a low voice. He was just waiting here anyway.

I plan to talk to Chen Ming.

"Confirmed? How do you say that?" Chen Ming was a little confused. He didn't even know which group he was assigned to, so how could he be sure about it?

"Didn't you hear what the head of the combat bureau said about the assessment subjects yesterday? There are many things that we have never been exposed to in the army. Don't you worry?"

"What's the use of worrying." Knowing what Liu Zhiyang was asking, Chen Ming shook his head.

"This competition has been prepared for such a long time. The supervision team and the referee team were all temporarily transferred. The purpose is not to let the officers participating this time have more time to find connections and get some news in advance."

"The above arrangement is also to test everyone's ability. The purpose is so obvious, just to test the ability, what do I have to worry about."

Chen Ming said it lightly. In fact, it is useless to talk about worrying at this time.

Faced with such a "frank" response, Liu Zhiyang was speechless.

In fact, hushed conversations like the one between the two of them were everywhere in the hallway.

No matter what position you are in or how old you are, you cannot be too calm when faced with sudden assessment competitions.

Chatting about one thing or another can always relieve this depressing atmosphere.

It was still raining outside, and rows of military vehicles had been ready to go, but there was no order from above to set off.

They couldn't go back to the dormitory and wait for fear of missing some important notice.

What's more, there is a certain reason why so many investors are worried at the scene. Previous drills also paid attention to situation integration.

But at that scale, intelligence and operations are all completed by multiple staff officers.

Nowadays, as informatization becomes more and more developed and operations become simpler, these tasks become completed by one person. The requirements for the comprehensive quality of staff personnel have indeed improved a lot.

But that was an exercise. There were real objects to refer to and battle situations to analyze. These veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles were not worried.

Chief of Staff, who can't fight?

It's just that this time it's not a war, it's a competition. It's a competition for the brigade-level chiefs of staff of the entire army. Who knows what subjects they will get.

The traditional measuring and calculating tasks such as rulers, compasses and pens that were often used in the past have been almost thrown away.

All operations are done by computer.

Now, who would be able to lay down on the table with a map and draw around?

Over time, the chiefs of staff at all levels have become familiar with this method. It is really a fierce combination of earth and foreign for them, and they have to pick up traditional things and draw on the computer.

That is much more difficult than before when informatization was not so developed, and it was much more difficult to come into contact with computers for the first time.

After all, the people who asked the questions were from the Military Staff Department. Those people had experienced two eras of staff work, so the subjects would be very targeted.

Just when everyone in the corridor was waiting anxiously.

The harsh emergency assembly whistle sounded outside the dormitory building. As people at their level, many people may not have experienced this kind of atmosphere for a long time.

"Beep-beep!!"

"All comrades participating in the competition will line up in the lobby on the first floor and prepare to board the train and head to the competition location."

"Please note that there are raincoats hanging on the wall in each dormitory. Please wear them by yourself. Cell phones, photography, or any other electronic equipment are not allowed during the competition."

"Start gathering."

The harsh whistle, mixed with the coolness of the rainy night, set the whole building into action.

Even Chen Ming himself felt a little distant when he heard this voice. Many times, he was the one who arranged emergency gathering instructions. I haven't heard this kind of sound for a long time since I moved out of the fire department dormitory in the past six months.

But it's okay.

His youth, combined with the instincts he had been practicing for a long time, still made him rush back to the dormitory quickly, grab the mechanical watch in his backpack and buckle it on his wrist.

He took off the raincoat hanging on the wall and started rushing outside.

Regardless of the fact that the people participating in the competition are not low-level and young, when they take action, they really show the courage of each veteran.

Bang bang bang bang
  The lights in the middle hall on the first floor were turned on, and dazzling light shone on the assembled people.

No matter how many people were worried and unsure when we were in the dark corridor just now, under the light now, the calmness in this eye, the rising belief in victory, and the burning fighting spirit are enough to see through the rainy night. Dispersed vividly.

This is the soldier.

Competition is a battle on the field.

No matter how worried or worried you are before the game, once the time actually comes.

There’s nothing to say, just do it.

Step on.
  The procession in the lobby on the first floor had just finished when Wang Haisheng, the head of the Operations Bureau of the Army Staff Headquarters, came in from outside wearing a raincoat.

He glanced at all the gathered people and nodded slightly.

"Hello comrades, I know that most of the comrades participating in the competition this time hold important positions in the army."

"The level is also very high, but this time the competition is directly selected by the military. Comrades who meet the requirements must come to participate in the competition regardless of any other reasons."

"You should have been informed of this rule before departure. I hope that all comrades can cooperate well in the competition."

"There will be competitions in eleven subjects later, and the organizational form, assessment content, etc. will be different from the past."

"Every subject can be said to be an uphill battle."

"All comrades, get ready. Next is our first 3-kilometer cross-country trip. To ensure fairness and justice, the disciplinary inspection and supervisor will strictly supervise the work of the recorder."

"We will also observe the conditions of each comrade during the competition. The assessment will adopt the timing method of a marathon, and the system will calculate the gunshot time and static running time."

"This competition is to achieve zero cheating and is strongly supported by a third-party supervision system."

"Each set of test papers is printed, transported and distributed, as well as collected, graded, ranked, and the disciplinary inspection and supervision personnel track the entire process."

"Before each assessment, the disciplinary inspection and supervision team will inspect and review the examination venue, assessment, and candidates and examiner information in advance."

"Including the design of the assessment area at the back, examiners, candidates, and disciplinary inspection and supervision personnel must go out together to pick up targets before the results can be finally recorded."

Along with the instructions issued one after another.

Chen Ming stood in the crowd and grinned. What he said before was probably directed at everyone present except for those who made up the numbers like him.

The latter ones are for everyone.

If these third-party inspection teams didn't keep a close eye here, there would be no cheating during the game.

After all, there are more than [-] people.

This can be said to be a fair and just comparison, showing true talent and learning.
  Even cross-country running is done. Cross-country running is a bit bullying in a competition of this level.

In fact, Chen Ming suspected that someone might have interfered with the rules of the competition. Otherwise, the cars outside would have arrived a long time ago. Isn't this a clear sign of pulling people in?
  As a result, the car arrived. After waiting for a long time, there was no movement. Finally, there was movement and another cross-country run took place.

Chen Ming guessed that there was a high probability that the people above made the change deliberately. After all, the competition was a job that was gritted and persevered throughout the whole process, and he didn't mind adding this extra cross-country run.

Three kilometers is nothing.

After Wang Haisheng introduced the rules of this competition, he cleared his throat and continued: "Okay, comrades, let's divide into groups in a moment."

"After we are divided into groups, since it's raining outside today, we need to warm up in advance and check out the equipment."

"Guard shoes and raincoats, all comrades must wear these things."

"Of course, wearing these will definitely make this competition more difficult, but the same difficulty is the same for every team."

"Come on, the first group." Wang Haisheng took out a roster and started calling the names.

When Chen Ming looked at the roster in the opponent's hand, he was speechless.

The grouping was really random. The booklet he held in his hand was the one he signed during the meeting last night.

However, he did not read them in order, but distributed them according to the vertical names, in groups of twenty.

"Okay, the first group of people will check the equipment and set off. There will be personnel from the supervision team outside to lead the team to board the vehicle."

"Continue the roll call. The second group. Let's go."

"Group [-], let's go."

"Group [-], let's go."

Since the roster was read vertically, even though Chen Ming arrived late, he was ranked high in the group and was divided into seven groups.

With this order issued, all members of the seventh group stepped into the rainy night. Winter had just entered at this time, and the weather in Shimen was not as comfortable as Fuzhou.

As soon as he came out of the hall, Chen Ming was hit by the cool breeze and felt goosebumps all over his body.

He originally thought he would run when he came out, but Chen Ming found that he had thought too much. The first event was cross-country running, but not now.

He followed the members of the seventh group and boarded the military vehicle one after another. The vehicle started and roared away from the academy.

He guessed this correctly. The location of the competition was indeed not in the academy.

Chen Ming didn't know any of the people sitting in front of him. The space in the small military vehicle was not spacious. There was also a member of the inspection team sitting in the front passenger seat.

This also resulted in people who had just been grouped into groups unable to introduce themselves to each other and discuss the next competition with each other.

I can only sit in the car and wait.

When I first left the academy, the conditions on the road were pretty good, but after running for half an hour, the road became increasingly deviated.

Chen Ming was really glad that he was building this kind of small military vehicle this time, and it was also an off-road type. No matter how muddy the road was, it could not stop the vehicle from traveling.

If you take a large truck specially used to transport troops, you will suffer a lot.

No one spoke during the whole process, and no one discussed where the competition was going.

About five fifty.

The convoy finally stopped in a relatively flat area.

Opening the car door, Chen Ming quickly took a look at the surrounding environment, and a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

Judging from the situation, this local college has already made arrangements.

Not far from where they are, a dozen large red tents have been set up. Next to the tents are power supply trucks and machines that provide network signals.

A group of staff were sitting under the tent, typing away at the keyboard. The competition hadn't even started yet, so I didn't know what they were busy doing.

In addition to these staff members, the most numerous people around were the disciplinary inspection and supervision personnel wearing red armbands on their left arms. They took a cursory look at them.

The number of people far exceeds the number of participants.

There were figures of discipline inspectors swaying inside and around the tent, if they hadn't known in advance that this was a place used for competitions.

Chen Ming almost thought he had arrived at a secret base.

Because these soldiers with red armbands, apart from not carrying guns, have a very strict defense level.

The total number of people exceeded an infantry battalion.

It seems that in the meeting just now, we repeatedly emphasized that this competition will be fair and just. It is really not just talk.

Obviously a lot of effort has been put into it.

The rain outside is getting heavier and heavier, and it still shows no sign of letting up.

The inspector who got off the co-pilot pointed at the national flag in the distance and reminded: "All people who come after grouping must assemble there."

"The competition will officially begin after the oath is taken."

"Oath?" Chen Ming looked up and saw that the first groups to set off had already arrived.

All the personnel stood uniformly under the national flag, seemingly waiting.

This made Chen Ming sigh with emotion. It was indeed a competition based on the opinions of the military department. The process was really strict.

The seventh group set off, and Chen Ming followed behind. He stepped on the ground, and the mud stuck to the sole of his shoe, and he couldn't shake it off.

This left Chen Ming speechless for a while. This was probably their competition area for the next three days.

It’s not easy.
