Chapter 206 Prelude to the Grand Competition

Persia was also surprised by the achievements of the Spider Squad. The ambassador who had advocated the purchase was now really proud. When he came to see Li Jingwen, he came with light steps... This time, the ambassador's visit was a conventional nature. As the dispute between Assyria and Persia gradually escalated, the two sides were not only busy fighting, but also sent elite troops to destroy each other. This time, the ambassador came to conduct regular visits to His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Empire, and informed some inconvenient information to convey in writing, and exchanged some issues of concern to each other.

Li Jingwen met Ambassador Hassan Ali Maharat in the east hall of Wanshou Palace. The ambassador first submitted a letter of state. The Persian king also attached great importance to the achievements of the Spider Squad this time, but he cared more about establishing a closer relationship with the Han Empire. Li Jingwen knew that Persia is now betting on two sides, and while contacting Russia, he also tried to get close to the Han Empire. However, he didn't care about this. Anyway, Persia suffered a loss from the Russians and had to come back again. This is not the first time that the bearded men did this.

After Ambassador Hassan sat down, he first said some diplomatic conventions and then mentioned the conflict. His main purpose this time was to explain this matter. The ambassador expressed deep apology for the matters of Titanium Star Industry and Trade without prior notification of the imperial government and the training and logistics support. He hoped that His Majesty the Emperor would be magnanimous and criticized a small group of opposition politicians with ulterior motives in Persia.

Li Jingwen did not express any clear views, but expressed his understanding of the situation at that time and hoped that this kind of thing would not happen again. Of course, Ambassador Hassan could only say it repeatedly, but in fact he had no choice but to decide whether it would work. Before leaving, Ambassador Hassan sent Li Jingwen a document containing the report of the driver involved in the war at that time, which was a top secret that the intelligence department could not find.

As soon as Hassan left, Li Jingwen opened the document. He learned from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Royal Bureau of Investigation that the incident was more than an hour later than Liu Jinpeng, mainly because the coaching staff of Titanium Star Industry and Trade were in Persia, and the news he received was of course faster than diplomatic channels and intelligence channels. There was a photocopy of the surviving driver of the Spider Squad's handwritten report. Persian and Arabic are about 60% similar. In addition, Li Jingwen himself can speak a superficial Arabic. He put on a translator and could read the document by himself without translation.

The pilot named Abu wrote: "When the armed helicopter fired a missile at me, I even thought I was going to see Allah soon, but compared to the tank, the spider system has a powerful jammer, so I was lucky enough to dodge the missile and shot down an enemy plane. I sincerely thank the Lord for his care."

Next is a passage of scriptures. Li Jingwen skipped over and looked directly at the point behind: "David of the Assyrians is indeed a threatening weapon. Their raid caused us great damage and chaos. Fortunately, when the missiles on the opposite side were fired, I finally released smoke bombs, which saved me from bringing bad news to my family. The next battle was almost one-sided. David's bipedal system could not be compared with spiders that could move at multiple angles, and their weapons could not cause damage to us. If the enemy's reinforcements were not coming, we would have been able to wipe them out."

There are several tables attached to the back of the document, including the overall cost table, action schedule, loss, etc. for this dispatch, but the data is not very accurate. Fortunately, none of the drivers died, and the seriously injured have received the best medical treatment in the hospital. However, this time, Persian proposed to supplement the spider team to its original system rather than continue to expand the organization, which shows that the Russians have put forward very attractive conditions, which has made the Persians, who are not financially wealthy, feel embarrassed.

Li Jingwen was too lazy to say that his influence was not that great. Anyway, it was not the first time that the Persian bearded man suffered a loss. However, the Emperor's side must give an explanation this time, otherwise where would the emperor's face be put? So Li Jingwen called Yan Yuanyi and asked him what he thought about the 422 incident. Of course, Lieutenant General Yan knew what Zhong Ze did, but he couldn't say bad things about his deputy. He could only agree to initiate a proposal at the equipment procurement meeting first, and proposed to establish a mechanized unit mainly spider in a certain unit of the Army.

Li Jingwen thought his method was good. It took time for a new weapon to be accepted, so he agreed. However, the changes in things were always unexpected, and no one expected that the Navy would jump out first. General An Minghui took the lead in proposing that the Navy would purchase a batch of spiders for the new mechanization of the Marine Corps. General An of course would not have jumped out by himself. There must be the command of the Old Marshal He Feihu, so no one was willing to come forward and sang the opposite. This matter was just passed.

In addition to General An's support, General Zeng of the Navy also proposed a military competition at the command and staff meeting of the entire army. His original words were: "After so many years, there have been many internal exercises and competitions within each branch of the military, but there are almost no horizontal comparisons in the three armies system, which is very abnormal. I suggest that a large-scale competition across the army will be held in May, so everyone can check the achievements of their respective soldiers."

The old man was also depressed. Of course he was sure of his suggestion, but if other units did not dare to respond, his face would be completely lost. No one could ignore such things. Even if he was a swollen person, he would have to bite the bullet. However, he secretly scolded Mr. Zeng, a slippery man, who must have had secret weapons to make such big talk. Some are cautious and some are stupid and bold, and they feel good about themselves. They think that Mr. Zeng made a good suggestion and threatened to show off in the competition.

The final decision of the meeting was that the three major military groups each sent five teams, with members screening the Air Force's airborne troops, Navy Marines, and major armies of the Army. The fifteen teams will compete in various projects such as technology, skills, and collaboration, and the time will be set on May 5th. Leaving the preparation and selection time, leaving only five days for the internal running-in of major military branches.

In other words, if the team members come from different troops and do not have combined training, then all participating teams should be basically used to familiarize themselves with their teammates within five days. As for coordinated actions, don’t think about it. All military branches have their own tricks, and of course there are policies and countermeasures at the bottom. The best way is to directly recruit a team of soldiers who have been training together. This coordination is the best, but the quality of individual soldiers is definitely not as good as the top candidates selected.

Due to the urgency of time, this means that if you want to score in collaborative combat projects, you must give up some technical and skilled projects. The top soldiers produced by others must be more comprehensive in professional projects than ordinary soldiers. This regulation obviously puts higher requirements on talent reserves.

It's okay for the Air Force. After all, the airborne troops account for a small proportion of the entire Air Force, and the Air Force is more of a technical branch. But for the Army, if they lose this competition, it would be very embarrassing. The Army relies on the quality of its troops. If they lose to other troops in this regard, their existence will be shaken. Therefore, the huge army forces also put aside the grudges of the past and the entire machine operated efficiently.

As for the navy that made this suggestion, its marines cannot account for 20% of the entire navy, so even if they lose, they will not be hurt. However, since this competition was proposed by the navy, it is unacceptable to them to lose the game. According to the idea of ​​ordinary naval soldiers, even if they lose to the army, it is not embarrassing, but they must not lose to the air force, absolutely not!

Shen Yue, a second lieutenant of the Marine Corps, received such an order, asking him to report to the Guam Navy Command immediately, and only after the specific tasks were found. The navy now believes that this competition is the product of the upper-level fighting spirit, but even so, for the soldiers who hone their skills all day long, it is also a great time to show themselves. Therefore, Shen Yue did not hesitate to pack up his luggage and took a warship from Ryukyu to Guam.

Guam now doesn’t see any nervousness, but Shen Yue was taken to the playground to give a lecture as soon as he arrived at the base. He also had elites transferred from other troops with him. Ordinary non-commissioned officers have speculated about the naval strategy, and they must not be able to choose one of the two elites and gangs. The advantage of elites is that they are top-notch in technology, and the advantage of company is that they are skilled in cooperation and have their own advantages.

At present, it seems that all of this group of people are top soldiers of each unit, the lowest rank is second lieutenant, and the highest one is actually a school official. It can be seen that the Navy attaches great importance to this competition. Shen Yue also thought to himself that it seems that the Navy chose to be elite this time, focusing on technical and skill competitions. However, the Navy is originally a technical army, and its knowledge level and practical quality have always been very good, so this choice is normal.

For the navy, individual soldiers' coordinated operations have always been a weakness. Everyone is a knowledgeable person, and they are inevitably a little dissatisfied with each other and need more time to get familiar with each other. In addition, there is not so much time and money for soldiers and non-commissioned officers to train tactical training. Daily training is more about familiarizing themselves with job operations and accustomed to various regulations. Some troops even rarely touch a few shots a year. How can there be a sense of individual soldiers' coordination in this situation?

Shen Yue's opinion is almost the consensus of the participants this time. These people are elites selected by various troops, so they still don't know the characteristics of their own military branches. Anyone who is familiar with the army knows that the so-called elites are basically synonymous with thorns. Honest soldiers are indeed disciplined, but if they say that combat effectiveness is not satisfactory, and those who can really fight are those unruly guys.

Marshal He Feihu visited the scene in a rare manner, but he just looked at the window of the side building. He said proudly to General An and General Zeng: "These kids are energetic, I like them! Pull them out of the black nest, practice hard for half a month, and release them on the fifth day."
