Chapter 1647: Chapter 828: Final Preparations_2

When Lin Beichen spoke, the people around looked bewildered and at a loss. Perhaps this was the most thorny and realistic problem at the moment; if it couldn’t be solved immediately, the consequences were simply unimaginable.

"I hope everyone will seriously think this through. How do you really view this matter? If you think it’s insignificant, then I’m sorry, I won’t concern myself with it anymore. If something goes wrong, I believe you’ll understand in your hearts."

As soon as Lin Beichen finished speaking, everyone immediately became nervous.

"No, no! That’s not how we think. If we can really solve the problem, that would be great. But how are we supposed to do ideological education? After all, we come from a military background."

"Let me handle it."

Chen Lin looked helpless, after all, being the captain, the responsibility on her shoulders wasn’t just about leading the team well.

In the evening, Chen Lin began to communicate with the captains of each team, focusing especially on the captain ranked eighth.

"I know you’re quite conflicted inside, right, Mr. Muhammad?"

"Yes, we aren’t as strong as you are. Just making it into the top eight feels like an achievement for us. So when this match is over, we can give our officers an explanation."

"Hmm!"

Chen Lin smiled slightly.

"The problem is, this match isn’t just about deciding the first place; second, third, and fourth places also need results. Do you really want Francis and those teams to win the championship?"

As soon as Chen Lin said this, the other party’s face showed an embarrassed expression.

"You can’t say that. Of course, we can’t let them win. Otherwise, they’ll really think they’re formidable and walk all over us like we’re nothing."

"Exactly! That’s a possibility. I’m here today because I want to have a proper talk with you. Are we just going to sit here and wait to be eliminated, or go back with the shameful eighth place to explain ourselves?"

Chen Lin’s words made the captain realize immediately.

"Our country has a saying, ’Are generals and ministers born that way?’ Are they naturally kings, and are we supposed to be cowards? If that’s the case, we might as well not compete for the championship in the first four rounds and just stay as eternal runners-up like before."

It seems Muhammad understood.

"You’re indeed a clever woman. I know what to do. I’ll have a good talk with my brothers. But you know our tactical skills are far behind yours."

"I know there are still a few more opportunities to practice before the finals. During this training period, I’ll get to know each member’s situation. Actually, everyone has their own strengths, and understanding how to use them wisely is my responsibility as a commander."

With that, the captain nodded and left.

Actually, it’s pretty much the same with other teams, and the current situation is indeed very critical. However, for Francis and their team, the situation is quite different.

"I’m telling you, making it to the top eight this time, especially the first four rounds, is to filter out those teams. From now on, our goal is first place. Remember, no matter what, we must defeat Huaxia’s team and everyone across from us; this is the purpose of your presence here."

The soldiers just chuckled when they heard this.

"What are you laughing about? Do you really think you’re here for a vacation? Look at your performance in the first four rounds; you didn’t make the cut. You’re the worst batch I’ve ever led. If this news gets back home, how can I explain to the leaders and generals?"

This team is actually strong, but this year Huaxia’s team performed exceptionally well.

"You’ll probably say this year’s Huaxia is different, and I don’t know what they’ve done. But they are our opponents. We’ve been the champions for years; even if there’s a little hiccup this time, at the final critical moment, I hope everyone can show our nation’s bravery."

However, the word "bravery" didn’t seem to stir much enthusiasm among them. Instead, Chen Lin’s speech after gathering the four teams left a deeper impression.

"You all come from different places, and this morning, I’m not planning any military training for you. I don’t see the need."

This announcement shocked everyone in the four teams.

"I feel that tactical training is almost there for you all, right? Why not take this opportunity to open up and chat about the stories in each of your hearts? At the very least, I want to know why so many in the army are unwilling to move forward now."

This kind of talk left everyone present stunned. It was the first time a commander dared to speak openly in front of everyone like this.

"Then you start."

This time, everyone opened up, sharing their most tormenting pasts. Clearly, everyone understood that the atmosphere was not very harmonious.

"Sigh! Honestly, we all just want to get what we long for, but it’s too difficult. I really don’t know what to do because it’s going to cause a chain of troubles for me. I just hope to find what I want in the military camp."

Indeed, this is the most concerning issue for every soldier at the moment.

"Does everyone think we’re in peaceful times? Especially those participating in the special forces competition, seeing the domestic situation as stable, so feeling that war is far away? But have you thought, maybe a sudden conflict could bring trouble someday?"

Chen Lin continued to inspire. In this regard, she indeed had the most authority to speak, having been stationed at the border year-round, often encountering terrorists.

"If that’s the case, let me tell you a story."

...

The entire morning, Chen Lin did only one thing — a spiritual cleansing for every member, making them understand the meaning of war and why they are participating in the special forces competition.

"Is the championship that important? Indeed, it concerns national honor. But is everything else just a side note? Can we really win? Perhaps everyone feels our Huaxia is the strongest; I can’t deny that. Our tactical skills might be outstanding, but the final championship might not be ours; maybe it will come from our four teams, right?"

Chen Lin as usual glanced around at everyone.

"What I want to tell you is that since we came together, we are one family. I hope we can achieve the most brilliant championship with the least casualties."

The competition rules are set this way: if there are multiple winning teams, the championship and runner-up are determined by the number of teams.

This marks a new beginning.

"Also, I’m telling you, our teams will definitely regroup. Look, beyond that mountain is the real terrorist gathering place. Do you know why the special forces school is chosen here? It’s to strike against them."

With this said, everyone suddenly realized. This is a real rehearsal before actual combat. If not taken seriously, it could cost lives in real warfare.

"Alright! I think this is more effective than countless trainings."

Indeed, there was no need to overthink it at this moment. The trouble this matter brings might just inspire new strength at critical moments.

"Alright! I’ve said everything that needs to be said. What happens next depends on your own thoughts. I think I’ve found a relative breakthrough."

This is the most critical element at the moment. Everyone understands how to act under this situation to solve all problems.

Next is a real challenge.

"How should we deal with that country? Even now, we’re clueless; we can’t just do nothing, can we?"

Muhammad finally touched upon the main issue.
