"I want to complain to your superiors! Want to open the box? No way!"
At this point, anyone who is not blind can see that this is an artificial and deliberate obstacle.
Zhong Zhipeng is angry for a reason. He is the director of the shooting teaching and research section of the military training department of the military region. Even with the sensitivity of these firearms and equipment, this batch of ammunition is a new type of ammunition with extremely high precision. Not only is it well-made, the material is also pure copper, and the craftsmanship
It is even more precise. If there is a slight difference due to the limited conditions in actual combat, there is nothing we can do about it. But this is an international sniper competition, and all the players are the best among the masters, so the level of everyone is not very different.
, so the quality of equipment and ammunition is particularly critical. A little difference may lead to a difference in performance, and one or two points can determine the outcome.
What's more, he has never seen one that needs to be unpacked.
It doesn't matter if you open the first large box of these ammunition boxes, because there are still small boxes inside, and the bullets are in the small boxes.
But once the big box is opened, there is no guarantee that people from country H will not open the small box.
Judging from the current situation, these guys probably dared to open the small box and even register the ammunition number.
In this way, all the bullets were exposed.
The adaptation period is five days and the competition is at least three days.
It is the rainy season now, and the weather is humid. Will it have any impact on ammunition? How much impact will it have?
No one can guarantee that.
In this compartment, the PLA team members finally heard clearly that they were going to open the box to check for ammunition, and immediately gave up and refused to get out of the way.
However, Country H insisted on opening it. The reason given was that this was their country's policy and law and could not be violated.
The two sides were at a stalemate for a while, and began to talk and negotiate in this hall.
The translator accompanying the team was extremely busy, talking to one person now and explaining to the other.
Zhuang Yan asked Qasim: "It seems that you are targeting our representative team? Are you sure you can't be accommodating and follow the usual rules?"
Qasim said: "Zhuang, please understand our difficulties. In our country, the military also has to abide by the customs border inspection regulations. This is the law."
solemnly said sarcastically: "You mean our country won't abide by it? The problem is that you and I are not newbies participating in the competition for the first time. We know the rules very well. If you insist on doing this, I can only refuse to test and submit the contradiction to
Your superiors, let them communicate with our superiors, otherwise I won’t be able to convince my team members.”
Qasim said: "There's no need to go to this point, right? But...if you insist, I can only agree."
Zhuang Yan was slightly startled.
Now he understands.
It seems that it was not Qasim's idea alone, but the unanimous opinion of their military. It can even be said that Qasim's superiors agreed with what he did.
Otherwise, this guy definitely doesn't have the confidence.
Sure enough, Qasim quickly picked up the phone and actually took the initiative to call his superior.
He deliberately showed great sympathy for the PLA team on the phone, also stated the practices of past international military competitions, and requested to be exempted from inspection.
Zhuang Yan watched Qasim's performance coldly from the side.
A double act!
Who the hell doesn't?
Not knowing why, Zhong Zhipeng came over and quietly said to Zhuang Yan: "Captain Zhuang, I think this matter can be improved?"
He solemnly shook his head: "No, I still have to check it in the end. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."
The result was as expected by Zhuang Yan.
After the call ended, Qasim came over to apologize with regret: "Zhuang, I'm very sorry. I have communicated with our chief of staff. He is the chairman of the organizing committee of this event, but he is also very helpless. The customs does not belong to us.
Within the scope of jurisdiction, if you want to be exempted from inspection, I am afraid that the matter will have to be brought to the parliament that issued this temporary inspection order. I don’t know how long the dispute will last. I think you don’t want to be in so much trouble, right..."
The implication is that since you are all here, you can't just turn around and leave, right?
You PLA will not do this either, I know very well!
Qasim is considered a China expert.
He had a relationship with Zhuang Yan, and over the years he also had joint training and exercises with the PLA's special forces.
He has a good understanding of the way the Chinese people behave.
Zhuang Yan looked at the old classmate in front of him. Everything seemed to be unexpected, and everything seemed to be expected.
This is what happens between soldiers and soldiers.
Everyone is their own master, there is no right or wrong.
From his own point of view, Qasim is shameless, including the military behind him.
But from Qasim's point of view, this is a "technical" trick.
The reasons for moving out are also broad-based, including laws and parliamentary bans.
In fact, it's all nonsense.
The military establishment of any country will never fail to handle such a trivial matter.
If you really want to make an argument, it means that the drunkard's intention is not to drink.
Zhuang Yan didn't pay any attention to Qasim.
This old classmate used to be a classmate, but is now his opponent. If unfortunately he meets him on the battlefield in the future, Zhuang Yan believes that his old classmate will also shoot him without hesitation, but what about himself?
Is there any point in asking?
Of course I will do that.
This is the position and view of right and wrong as a soldier.
There is only the position of the country and the nation, and there will be no personal position.
He said to Zhong Zhipeng: "Old Zhong, you stay here to stabilize the situation. I'll go out and make a phone call."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the hall.
Li Zheng and other team members watched Zhuang Yan leave with suspicion in their hearts. They didn't know what the brigade commander was going to do. Everyone was talking in low voices, speculating on the uncertain outcome.
Hou Jun was so angry that he kept scolding his mother in Chinese. Fortunately, the other party couldn't understand it, and even the translator understood it and didn't dare to translate it, so he just let it go.
Outside the hall, Zhuang Yan answered the domestic phone call.
He told what happened, and then asked for instructions: "Chief, the situation is like this. Do you think we should communicate with them directly through our headquarters, or let them open the box and check it?"
There was silence on the other end.
"Before I make a decision, I want to hear your opinion first, Zhuang Yan. After all, you are experienced and are on the scene. If you need me to do something for the representative team, I will do it. Before that, I want to know what you want to do.
What a choice.”
He solemnly raised his eyes and looked into the distance.
In the distance is the greenery of early spring, and above the mountains, the mist is lingering, floating like a fairyland.
His mind was racing.
Just like facing a military exercise, he must make tactical decisions.
An intuition suddenly came to my mind.
Soon, he got the result.
"I agree to unboxing."
"Um?"
The leader on the other end of the phone seemed a little surprised by the solemn decision.
It’s not that I didn’t expect Zhuang Yan to make such a decision, it’s that I didn’t expect Zhuang Yan to make such a decision so quickly.
"Don't you think it hurts your self-esteem?" the chief asked.
Zhuang Yan said: "Chief, this is not hurting your self-esteem. It only hurts your self-esteem if you can't win the game."
The chief said: "Are you so sure you can win?"
Zhuang Yan said: "In all these years, I have never lost."
The chief laughed heartily on the other end of the phone.
"Okay, then I'll do as you say and pay attention to comforting the team members. They are all young guys and they may be emotional."
Zhuang Yan said: "Don't worry, chief, I promise to give the organizers a surprise."
After hanging up the phone, Zhuang Yan returned to the hall.
"Old Zhong, come here."
Zhuang Yan called Zhong Zhipeng over, and the two discussed in a low voice in a corner of the hall.
Qasim kept watching Solemn's every move.
He saw that Zhong Zhipeng seemed to be very excited, his hands were gesturing constantly, and his expression was very angry. On the contrary, he was solemn and calm, and he could not see any inner changes.
This made him feel a little uneasy.
Looking back on those days, he was most afraid of the solemn expression.
Whenever he shows this look, it means that he is sure of victory.
What confidence does he have?
Qasim became confused.
After a while, the old clock seemed to quiet down.
He solemnly returned to Qasim and said to him solemnly: "I reported to my superiors and agreed to you opening the box and inspecting it as you please."
This time, Qasim was dumbfounded.
It took him a long time to react, and he said in disbelief: "Really checking casually?"
"Yes, but you must ensure not to cause any damage to our equipment and ammunition. I am watching from the side!"
Qasim felt the warning in the solemn tone, but the goal had been achieved and he was satisfied.
"Of course! Zhuang, who do you think we are!? I guarantee that they will do it very carefully and professionally! Don't worry!"
Zhuang Yan smiled and said nothing.
Qasim turned around and said to those at customs and security inspection: "You must be extra careful when inspecting. These are sophisticated weapons and equipment. If there is any damage, it will affect our relationship with the PLA. It is a matter of great importance and must be completed strictly."
Check the process.”
As if he was putting on a show to show off to Zhuang Yan, Qasim's words were righteous and solemn, and every letter was full of seriousness and solemnity.
The customs and border inspection officials nodded one after another, took out their white gloves and put them on, looking extremely dedicated, and began to unpack the boxes in front of the team members...
Li Zheng looked at them working with a confused look on his face. He looked at Zhuang Yan, not daring to ask why, and then looked at his squad leader.
"Old squad leader, did the brigade commander really let them drive?!"
Hou Jun shook his head: "I don't understand either..."
Please give me a monthly ticket. Currently, the monthly ticket category is ninth. If you climb up, you can get an additional display position. Hard-core military troops are rare. I hope everyone will support me!
