After Liu Jintang withdrew, not a single one of the hundred students below withdrew.
All the students are willing to obey Liu Jintang's command. These students are all passionate men. After listening to Liu Jintang's story, they are attracted by Liu Jintang's masculine charm. Even some of Grant's students admire Liu Jintang and think what if What a blessing it would be to be able to follow Liu Jintang.
Delafield praised him repeatedly, but he didn't expect the situation to change so quickly.
In the blink of an eye, Liu Jintang impressed all the students.
It is foreseeable that these students who follow Liu Jintang are determined to participate in the competition as much as possible. Delafield looked at Li Zhen and Liu Jintang with a look of emotion on his face.
China has Li Zhen, and Li Zhen has Liu Jintang. China is blessed.
Delafield stood up and ordered loudly: "The location of this competition is in the mountains to the west of West Point Military Academy. After their respective armies enter, divide the mountains to the west into north and south areas, and station each side. Then your commanders will have One day's time is set up. Starting from the next day, the student monitoring personnel will be evacuated, and then the war can begin."
After a pause, Delafield continued: "In addition, you will have three days of dry food, and each of you will also have a shovel, dagger and other basic weapons, but there will be no extremely lethal weapons or firearms. Everything, Win by surprise."
After hearing this, all the students looked serious. They had to survive in the mountains to the west and only had three days of food. Not to mention fighting and war, food was a big problem in the first place.
This battle is not only a test for the commander, but also for the trainees.
Liu Jintang looked at Delafield and said loudly: "Mr. Principal, I would like to ask if there is a detailed map of the mountains to the west of the military academy. If there is a map, I hope that Colonel Grant and I will each have a copy to ensure fairness. If so, Without a map of the mountains, there is nothing. As for me, I am blind to the mountains to the west and know nothing. But for Colonel Grant, he definitely knows the topography of the mountains to the west better than I do. ."
Grant smiled lightly and said seriously: "Commander Liu, please rest assured. I have been to the mountains to the west several times, but I am not familiar with them and have no detailed maps. Moreover, our soldiers have not trained in the mountains and forests. Everyone is similar. The mountains to the west of the plane are extremely vast. Once the soldiers disperse, it is very difficult to find them. It is the same whether there is a map or not."
"Okay, that's good."
The corners of Liu Jintang's mouth raised, with a look of success on his face.
The purpose of his words was to find out about Grant. Now that Grant had taken the initiative to reveal his knowledge of the mountains to the west, Liu Jintang knew even more.
Li Zhen interrupted: "I have a question."
"What did President Lee want to say," Delafield asked.
Li Zhen chuckled and said loudly: "Colonel Grant's words reminded me that the mountains to the west are huge and the forests are dense. Once a hundred people enter the mountains and forests, once they disperse, it will be difficult to search. If one of them deliberately hides , it is very likely that the other party will not be able to find it, making it difficult to engage in combat in a short period of time."
After a pause, Li Zhen continued: "Although we have three days of food as a constraint, I think it is necessary to delineate a farthest range to prevent the warring parties from escaping unrestrictedly. It must be within a range. Fighting allows both sides to hide while being in danger of being discovered at all times, which makes it more interesting."
Lincoln smiled slightly and said, "I agree."
Delafield said: "President Lee's suggestion is very good, and I agree with it."
Liu Jintang said: "I also agree."
Naturally, Grant could not object and agreed.
At that moment, Delafield, Li Zhen and others agreed on the location of the war, and determined that the fighting area must be within ten miles of entering the mountain area. Once it exceeds ten miles, it will be lost. In this way, a large area is defined and guaranteed. Competition, for Grant, Liu Jintang, and Chen Yucheng, both sides feel the pressure.
Next, Grant and Liu Jintang each took their own cadets to collect dry food, weapons, etc. The two armies composed of cadets left the military academy and ran towards the mountains and forests.
Lincoln asked: "President Lee, what do you think the final result of this competition will be."
Li Zhen laughed and said loudly: "Mr. President asked me this, so what else can I say? The final result must be that Liu Jintang wins and Colonel Grant fails. I believe Liu Jintang can do it."
Lincoln smiled, knowing that he had just said the wrong thing.
Ask Li Zhen, isn't this a clear result?
…
Liu Jintang, Chen Yucheng, Rong Hong, and a hundred students quickly entered the forest.
In the mountain forest, Liu Jintang asked the team to stop.
He looked at the 100 students around him and said in awkward English: "Everyone, my English is very average and I can understand it, but there are a lot of things I want to say, but I may not be able to express myself clearly. I hope you can understand." After that, he looked at Rong Hong and said: "Mr. Rong Hong is proficient in English. If there is anything I don't understand or you don't understand, you can communicate through Mr. Rong Hong."
The students nodded and looked very excited.
This battle has finally begun.
Liu Jintang changed the topic and said: "This competition is very challenging, and everyone here must be excited about it. Now, we will divide the current number of people. One hundred people is the number of people in a company. According to the configuration of army soldiers , Thirty people form a platoon, and a hundred people are divided into three platoons, so three people need to be selected as platoon leaders."
As soon as this was said, one hundred students began to discuss it privately.
If you can serve as a platoon leader, you can communicate with Liu Jintang at close range and learn more things.
Liu Jintang said: "This battle is related to my glory and your honor. Therefore, I do not encourage everyone to stand up. I hope that those of you who think you are qualified can take the initiative to stand up. Of course , I’m not saying that you can’t serve as a platoon commander, on the contrary, every one of you who has graduated now is more than enough to serve as a battalion commander.”
After saying this, one hundred students beamed with joy.
Liu Jintang smiled and continued: "The 'platoon leader' I mentioned is different from an ordinary platoon leader. An ordinary platoon leader leads more than thirty people. If you serve as a battalion commander after graduation, then you can be restrained here. A 'platoon leader' of more than thirty students theoretically commands not more than thirty people, but nearly ten thousand soldiers."
These words made the students laugh again.
However, there is some truth to it.
Liu Jintang said: "In other words, we are not a hundred people here, but close to 30,000 soldiers. Your future future is limitless. You cannot always be a battalion commander or company commander after graduation. As your military exploits increase, Accumulate, and the troops to be commanded in the future will be in units of tens of thousands, because, as a platoon leader, you are shouldering responsibilities and pressure, so please consider it carefully."
All the students' expressions were extremely cautious.
ps: Eighth update, call it a day. As of now, my brain is confused and I can’t afford to wake up. I wrote this chapter for nearly three hours. I feel ashamed.
