Principal Chen and Xia Jinyuan had a night talk before the winter break. After sending Ye Jian home, Xia Jinyuan actively sought out this World-class sniper and told him all of his suggestions in bringing Ye Jian up as a jack-of-all-trades soldier.
Principal Chen was not opposed to his suggestions. Instead, he agreed to all the suggestions without any hesitation.
Ye Jian’s capabilities weren’t just a little bit. The more he spent time with her, the more he was able to see her extraordinary talents and her remarkable adaptability. Moreover, he was able to see the toughness that was not in line with her frail appearance.
Like a tree, firmly rooted as it stands erected;
Like an ocean, expanding vastly beyond the horizons;
Like a well, unfathomably deep;
Making it so that her teachers will come to cherish her talents, making them want to give her their best knowledge in the world, and sometimes make them worried if they were even qualified to teach her! Because her speed at digesting knowledge had shocked everyone who had ever taught her.
From military maps to starting military commanding lessons, then military tactics, Ye Jian’s entire winter break was spent in the hellish training of “Between Ice and Fire,” while also absorbing knowledge from domains that she had never touched before at an insane speed.
Principal Chen marveled at the speed she was absorbing all this information, while Ye Jian marveled at Principal Chen’s erudition.
“Tactics are also called ‘Commanding Techniques’ or ‘Art of Commanding,’ and are divided according to basic combat styles. Tactics can also be divided into offensive tactics and defensive tactics, according to the army types, soldier types, and tactics involved in the planning. It can be divided into army tactics, soldier tactics, and hybrid tactics. According to the scale of battle, it can also be further divided into regiment tactics, platoon tactics, and squad tactics.”
After finishing the intensive training that lasted the whole morning, Ye Jian entered the Central Eastern mountain area of Hainan island. Instead of the sun overhead, water drizzled onto her as she sat under a big banana leaf in her camo raincoat, her lips pursed together as she listened attentively to every word of Principal Chen’s lecture.
In her eyes, Principal Chen, a world-class sniper, was no different from a walking textbook of military knowledge. Regardless of military tactics or military commanding, he was able to do it all!
Currently, he was talking about military tactical knowledge and suddenly plunged Ye Jian into another domain. She was extremely interested in the types and styles of combat that he had just said.
“During combat, it doesn’t matter whether you’re on the offense or defense, you should instill the dauntless mentality of proactively exterminating your enemy and the spirit to not fear sacrifice and the conviction to fight bravely. However, little lass Jian, you must remember this, the reason our country cultivated you is not for you to sacrifice yourself, though you must be prepared to face death, but the end goal is to exterminate all enemies!”
“You must look after your own safety during each and every operation, especially by strengthening protection against the assault or interference by your enemy’s high-tech weaponry and equipment! A commanding officer must be well-organized and well-prepared. More than anything, they must know how to examine the situation and fight their battles with flexibility.”
“You are commanding from the backlines, while the soldiers in the thousands, tens of thousands spearhead enemy lines. Every step they take is within your decision making, that is why the commanding officers are in the backline, but their responsibilities are immense! Be sure to keep in mind not to make any unrealistic military deployments in battle! Once you make a big mistake, it won’t be just the death of one soldier, tens of thousands of soldiers will die!”
“Little lass Jian, you must always remember that strategy needs to be synergistic. The moment your synergistic strategy gets damaged, you must repair it promptly, keeping the death rate at its lowest! Only by safeguarding every aspect, can you guarantee your victory!”
The commanding officer is the whole army’s soul and brain. Without a commanding officer in the battle, they’ll become like scattered sand, rushing into battle mindlessly, losing all of their combat effectiveness. After Ye Jian listened to the one and a half-hour lesson until its end, the more she understood that the role of a commanding officer was extremely hard!
