Chapter 2129: Leading Soldiers
Xia Jinyuan had not contacted Ye Jian yet. Commander Xia instructed the staff to call the dean of the National Science University and arrange a time.
The strict Chinese Academy of Science did not allow students to use their phones. At this time, not many students had phones. Even if they did, once they arrived at the school, they would be honest and take the initiative to turn in their phones. They would only be able to take their phones when they went out, were on vacation, or were on official business.
After reporting yesterday, Ye Jian took the initiative to turn in her phone. Knowing the rules, Commander Xia didn’t call her phone directly. Instead, he called the dean’s office.
It was not him who dialed the number. He asked the clerk to dial first before transferring the call to his office.
The military called to look for a student. They were looking for Ye Jian, whom most of the teachers knew. The dean, who knew Ye Jian as well, looked at the cla.s.s schedule and asked the teacher to tell Ye Jian after cla.s.s.
Ye Jian was sitting in Library 3 and discussing with a few other top students.
On the first day of school, the students had yet to shake off the New Year festive vibe. The task for the freshmen was issued. The freshmen would practice in the north of the province.
As the future leaders of the front lines, they were required to experience the atmosphere of life and death. As soon as the order was given, the various teams began to prepare in advance.
The task was a.s.signed in the first cla.s.s. It took less than two minutes for the two groups to send out representatives from each cla.s.s to meet during the short break.
“In a real battle, we won’t have time to prepare in advance. A battle is decided by a single round.” A top student from the School of Science spread out the map of the training base that they were going to visit. “The school suddenly told us about the drill. Why do I feel that the map they gave us isn’t a real map?”
…
“With the two armies confronting each other and fighting for the position, who will have the chance to run to the position and observe the terrain first? Who will know in advance that the position they’ve taken is also the position that the Blue Army needs to compete for? I asked the seniors at the School of Science and found that the school didn’t tell them about the positions or details. At most, they just gave them a rough time.”
“This time, they told us the time, place, and number of people. They even gave us time to arrange our troops in advance. Don’t you find it a little strange?”
The students of the School of Science were all in engineering. Their logical thinking was quite rigorous. Ye Jian and the others had only started learning a thick book on coding. They had already completed their self-study.
Another student said, “It’s better to have a direction than no direction at all. Putting aside the fact that it’s strange, we can first understand the entire northern training base and the surrounding terrain. When the time comes, we can start the exercise wherever we want.”
“We can’t always keep an eye on the north. Our school has training bases in the east, west, south, and north. In my opinion, we can’t just focus on the north. We have to figure out all the training bases in the east, west, south, and north. Only then will we not have to improvise no matter where we start.”
“I agree with this cadet,” some of the students agreed. Only by being prepared could one be invincible in battle. This had been the case since the beginning of time.
Ye Jian didn’t speak immediately. Although she had actual combat experience and had partic.i.p.ated in two real compet.i.tions, she had never partic.i.p.ated in a drill with hundreds of people. She would listen to them for the time being before expressing her intentions.
