Principal Chen noticed that her eyes were bright and clear; there wasn’t any sliver of intention to slack off; only then did he feel reassured.
Patting her shoulders, he said in an advising manner: “Good child, humans must always remember their initial resolution and must not lose sight of their goal. Keep your heart innocent and pure to chase after your dreams bravely and without fear and achieve your goals. Only by living such a life can you say that you have truly lived, only then, would your life become magnificent without bounds.”
“Since you have your own plans for your own affairs, then I won’t speak much about it, let’s talk about the training in the future. I watched a military drill a couple of days ago, and it gave me such a huge shock. The current military is no longer what I knew all those years ago; a sniper’s deployment and usage is much more different now.”
Changing the subject from private affairs to training matters, the expression on the old man and young woman changed at the same time. Their pupils gleamed with a cold light, their expressions were serious, and they started talking about the contents of the training.
“For example, in the mechanized infantry unit, a mechanized infantry battalion will be arranged with a sniper squad. Their commanding officer will direct Their configuration according to their mission, enemy, terrain, time and other detailed conditions.”
“The unit’s sniper squad is a relatively independent combat unit. Each squad is made up of two to three sniper teams and a squad commander. This aspect is very different compared to what we used to do. In the past, we used to have one sniper and one spotter; sometimes, we didn’t even have a spotter.”
“Solely judging from that aspect, we’ll be able to see how big of a change our military has performed since then! In the past, I’ve always trained you for solo combat, but from the looks of it, I’ll have to teach you how to perform well in team combat. In the military, you are not just an individual. Instead, you belong to a unit. Soldiers who belong to a unit must be able to fight alongside each other and fight solo if their situation requires it.”
Principal Chen told Ye Jian everything he had seen from the military drill he had seen in the past few days, all to inform and give Ye Jian a better idea of how a sniper works in the whole military.
“I’ve also noticed snipers would have a military ATV, all-terrain vehicle, and the front and back platforms of these vehicles can carry weapon systems, fuel, water, food, communication equipment, and personnel equipment. From this, we can see the role of a sniper in the military is not just a soldier who knows how to snipe people; they’ll also have to provide precious intel to the main force of their unit.”
These things weren’t things Ye Jian knew about. Through Principal Chen’s analysis, only then did she have a concept of things, and it was from today onwards, that Ye Jian did not box herself in as a sniper who only fought solo in combat with just a sniper rifle by her side. Instead, she started to develop the concept of an ‘information-based’ sniper.
Just by viewing one military drill, Principal Chen had managed to analyze that our country’s military had started a type of ‘information-based’ combat. It was totally different from the reports of those international news about a country that didn’t even have their own fighter jets, a country that was lacking in the military department!
The great power has risen!
From returning to school to starting her preparations to enter the midterm exams, Ye Jian went for classes in the day and utilized the time at night for revision. Before the first night had passed, she had already revised the new material she had missed in the past eleven days. She had already learned everything beforehand; she revised it once more just to solidify her knowledge.
The atmosphere in the classroom was quite tense. To attain the admissions slot, everyone had poured their heart and soul into the upcoming midterm tests.
The Grade 12 classes were much more nervous. They’ll be taking the university entrance exams next year, and if they could get admission directly, then the Grade 12 students wouldn’t be this stressed out. The anxious revision of the Grade 11 and Grade 12 classes had plunged the school in a state of peaceful serenity three days before the exam.
The exams started on the 3rd, and An Jiaxin’s eyelids were twitching nonstop before the exam had started. She told Ye Jian: “I think I’m going to get terrible grades this time…, my left eyelid has been twitching nonstop.”
