Chapter 688: Knowing the shame and then being brave
"Everyone must have seen and understood the results of the US Army's victory. I won't recount it again here. I didn't call everyone here to criticize the soldiers of the Tiger Regiment."
Under the heavy atmosphere in the command room, the commander-in-chief of this exercise, the commander of the 38th Group Army, was the first to speak out. He looked at the defeated Tiger Regiment commander and political commissar, and then said,
"There is no need for everyone to be so depressed. The facts have come out and we know our shortcomings and our problems. That is actually a good thing!"
Hearing the commander say this, some junior officers present lowered their heads in embarrassment.
"Lift your heads up!"
When the commander saw this scene, his smile suddenly disappeared. He slammed the table with a solemn face and shouted angrily, "Do you still have any courage and courage as a soldier? Do you still have any blood of a soldier? As the saying goes, after knowing shame, you will be brave.
It's not scary to know the gap. What's scary is that we lose the courage and motivation to move forward because of the gap! We Chinese soldiers have never been afraid of difficulties and faced them head-on. What's wrong?
When it’s our generation’s turn, it won’t work?
Is it over?
I don’t believe in this evil!!”
The commander's words made many officers feel uncomfortable.
The leader of the Tiger Regiment stood up abruptly, holding back his energy and venting, "Commander, it's me who didn't fight well. It was me who embarrassed the 38th Group Army and the Chinese Army! I didn't expect the American Army to be so...
Amazing... I defeated the Blue Army so quickly, I..." "I didn't ask you to come to a confession meeting, let alone a criticism meeting for you!"
The military commander pointed at the leader of the Tiger Regiment and said loudly, "Remember, what I want is to summarize experience and lessons. I hope that if you are naive on the battlefield and face these American troops, it will not be like today.
, I was beaten so hard that I lost my armor and couldn’t hold my head up! If that were the case, I would really be sorry for the army and the martyrs who died!”
The commander's words were so harsh that the tall and strong man in the regiment had red eyes.
Sitting in the corner of the conference room, Chu Nan inevitably felt a little uncomfortable.
In fact, the soldiers of the Tiger Regiment are not bad. The reason why they fail and lose is just because of the irreparable gap in equipment.
If the Tigers were given such advanced armed helicopters, such large-capacity advanced transport helicopters, missiles and artillery fire that can be precisely guided, as well as communication information and laser guidance devices that are accurate to human beings, the Tigers would definitely not be more powerful than others.
The army is in need.
Therefore, all this is just a gap in weapons and equipment, not caused by human factors. It is not actually his fault that the leader of the Tiger Regiment has lost face.
Yang Qingnan stood up at this time, came to the army commander's side, smiled and said, "Old Zhao, okay, let me say a few words."
Commander Zhao glanced at Yang Qingnan, nodded and sat back down.
"Comrades from the 38th Group Army, I am Yang Qingnan from the General Assembly Department. Many of you may know me, so I won't introduce myself much here."
When Yang Qingnan said this, he suddenly stopped smiling and bowed deeply to the officers present! This frightened the grassroots officers of the army. They stood up in a hurry, full of confusion and confusion.
"Lao Yang, what are you doing?
Just talk, why are you bowing?"
Commander Zhao next to him was also anxious. He quickly helped him up and said dissatisfiedly, "You, a dignified minister of the general assembly department, why are you bowing to us? Are you making us make mistakes?"
"I bow this way to express my apology to everyone.
I bow this way to show my respect to everyone."
Yang Qingnan glanced at the officers present seriously and said loudly, "It is our General Assembly Department that did not provide our ace army with the best equipment, and did not provide our troops with weapons and equipment that can win modern wars and digital wars.
We failed in this exercise."
"Commander Zhao just said it very well, know your shame and then be brave. What our army got in front of the American army today is indeed humiliation.
Do you know why the US military, which has always maintained a strong principle of secrecy, was willing to accept this exercise?
Didn't they see that we had the intention of stealing from others?
No, they are not stupider than anyone else, and the reason why they blatantly used their strength to defeat us even though they knew we were testing their true identity, do you know why?"
Having said this, Yang Qingnan glanced at all the officers again, then gritted his teeth and said, "Because they know that even if we know their fighting style and their tactics, we still can't defeat them, and we still can't learn them.
That’s their philosophy!”
"Why?
Comrades, the reason is very simple, because our skills are inferior to others! Our weapons and equipment are one to two generations behind theirs, not to mention their rapid development! Yes, many people say that we should not focus on weapons alone, but I want to ask
Everyone here, when you see the American army defeating the Blue Army, which we were originally proud of, was defeated, shouldn't we face the problem squarely?"
"Our soldiers are not at fault, the fault is that our national strength is weak, our scientific and technological level is not developed enough, and our weapons and equipment lag behind others.
On the contrary, due to these objective reasons, our tactical thinking has stagnated, and some of our comrades are still dreaming about the Spring and Autumn Period, always thinking that the methods and patterns of war are still on par with what they were decades ago, so they can sit back and relax!"
"It is true that man can defeat nature, but human life is more precious than any weapon and equipment. Doesn't it take more effort and time to cultivate a soldier who is not afraid of death and fight bravely than to produce weapons and equipment composed of a bunch of parts?
Therefore, today’s defeat lies with me, not with the 38th Army, and certainly not with the Chinese Army! I am here to assure you that if this lagging situation of weapons and equipment is not improved during my term of office, I will raise my voice to see you! But
, I also hope that everyone will remember that if I let our weapons and equipment go up, but everyone does not work hard to train and produce results, you... are not worthy of being soldiers of China!"
Faced with Yang Qingnan's frankness and determination, all the soldiers present stood up instantly, saluting with admiration in their eyes! Chu Nan also stood up. He was suddenly very moved. It was precisely because of these selfless contributions that he was willing to sacrifice his life for the country.
Only those soldiers will have the future of China.
Even if their equipment and technology are backward, as long as they have a heart that never admits defeat and a courageous spirit that knows shame and courage, it is not a delusion to surpass the American army.
"Minister Yang has already said this. As soldiers of the 38th Army's Ace Army, what reason do we have to retreat and not defeat our opponents?"
Commander Zhao said impassionedly, "I can understand that you lost in the exercise, but if you still lose in the individual soldier competition in the afternoon, it would be unjustifiable! We have to let those arrogant Americans see the strength of our Chinese soldiers!"
The officers in the entire conference room suddenly burst into thunderous roars, and for a while, the momentum was like a rainbow. The grassroots officers of the 38th Group Army asked for a fight, asking to take the initiative to compete with the American army.
When Commander Zhao saw that his officers had regained their fighting spirit, he couldn't help but feel happy and glanced at Yang Qingnan.
Yang Qingnan smiled at him, took the initiative to walk to the corner, and came to Chu Nan.
"Did you see the scene just now?"
Yang Qingnan was amused as he watched Commander Zhao quarrel with his subordinates. He smiled at Chu Nan beside him and said, "I boasted about Haikou in front of all the officers of the 38th Army and wanted to improve their equipment."
Chu Nan nodded and said, "You are right. Once a soldier loses his future, he loses his military soul. These outstanding soldiers should not be chilled."
"Yeah...the 38th Army is the ace force of the Huaxia Kingdom. The soldiers here are all extremely good. We can't let them feel cold because of their backward weapons and equipment..." Yang Qingnan said this and looked at Chu Nan mysteriously.
Eyes said, "Chun Nan, do you know why I asked you to come?"
