Chapter 2129: Leader
Xia Jinyuan hadn’t contacted Ye Jian yet, but Commander-in-Chief Xia had already instructed his assistant to call the office of the commanding dean of the NUTD to make an appointment first.
The strict management of the NUTD did not allow students to use mobile phones. At this time, few students had mobile phones. Even if they did, they would honestly and proactively hand in their mobile phones when they arrived at school.
Ye Jian, who finished the report yesterday, took the initiative to hand in her mobile phone immediately. The Commander-in-Chief, who knew the rules, did not dial her mobile phone directly. Instead, he dialed the dean’s office.
Anyway, it was not him to call; he let his assistant dial first and then transfer the call to his office.
The military department called to look for a student in the school, and the person they were looking for was not someone else but Ye Jian, who most of the school teachers knew. The dean, who also knew Ye Jian, looked at her course schedule and asked the teacher to tell Ye Jian after class.
Ye Jian was sitting in Library No. 3 and discussing projects with several other top students in the class.
On the first day of school, the students were still in the New Year’s holiday mood, and the tasks belonging to the freshmen were assigned. The freshmen had to go to the northern part of the province for practice on May 1st, Labor Day.
As the leaders of future battles, they needed them to feel the battle atmosphere on the front line of life and death. When the order was given, each squad was divided into the “red and blue” armies to start preparations in advance.
In the first class, the task was assigned, and the red and blue troops used less than two minutes to send their representatives to meet for discussion during the short break between classes.
“We will not have time to prepare in advance for a real battle. The real battle will determine the winner or loser.” A top student from the School of Science spread out the map of the training base where they would go on May 1st. “The school suddenly told us about the May 1st exercise. Why do I feel that the map given to us is not a real map?”
“Two armies will be fighting for positions. Who has the opportunity to go to the position and observe the terrain first? Who may know in advance that the position he has captured is the position the Blue Army needs to fight for? I asked a senior from the School of Science. After looking through some information, I found that the school really had never mentioned drills a few months in advance; at most, they would announce an approximate time.”
“Now, when it’s our turn, they told us about the time, location, and a number of people, and even let us have time to prepare in advance. Don’t you feel something is a little strange?”
The students of the School of Science were all engineering sciences, with very rigorous logical thinking and a thick book of cryptography. Ye Jian and the others just started to learn the command class, and they had already finished their self-study.
Another student said, “It’s better to have a direction than no direction. Let’s not talk about strange or not first. We can fully understand the Northland training base and the surrounding terrain first. Then, no matter where the exercise is carried out, everything will be okay.”
“You can’t always keep watch in the north. Our school has exercise bases in the east, west, south, and north. In my opinion, we can’t just cover the north; we must also cover the east, west, south, and north exercise bases. This way, we can be prepared wherever the practice will be.”
“Sun Tzu’s art of war is to plan and then make a move, and knowing to stop fighting and gaining; I agree with this student’s point of view.” Only if the student agreed and did not fight unprepared battles they could remain invincible. This was true for wars.
Ye Jian did not immediately speak. Although she had actual combat experience and had a real match between two teams, she had not participated in an exercise involving hundreds of people at once. For this, she still listened to her rest for the time being and then only expressed her thoughts.
