The smile on the Navy Commander’s face was quite evident; even he laughed because of Ye Jian’s final ‘bear-hug’ attack. “It’s not considered a foul, but it’s an undesirable move. We don’t suggest that our frogmen choose to perish with their enemies. As long as their stamina allows it, as long as they have an opportunity to counter-attack, they must fight with the determination to win.”
“A frogman’s operation strategy is by adhering to quick judgments, quick reactions, and quick executions. Ye Jian adhered to those initially, but near the end, when Li Jinnian started counter-attacking, though there was a difference in strength, she was still able to escape from the fishing nets. After training for more than a month, she’s gained some results!”
The Ground Forces’ Major General wore a slightly solemn expression; indeed, perishing with the enemy wasn’t a suitable strategy in modern warfare, especially for talents like Ye Jian. If they were to really die, then that would be a significant loss for their country!
“You ah, don’t wear such a scary face, it’s already amazing enough for Ye Jian to be able to hold on for 12 minutes in Li Jinnian’s grasp! Also, the main focus this time was to examine her underwater combat results after a month, and not her overall results, so don’t expect too much.”
“True underwater combat, in reality, isn’t just a duel between two people, and everything’s over after winning or losing. Nowadays, during the early stage, frogmen trackers would figure out the enemy frogmen’s general location and their direction of travel through technology such as underwater sonars and sensors. While the enemy is underwater, our side will stay hidden from behind or the flanks as we wait for the enemy. Once the enemy enters our range of attack, we’ll use underwater weapons to shoot them. Very rarely would there be face-to-face combats.”
Ye Jian and Li Jinnian broke the water one after the other. The Navy Commander made a ‘go-ahead’ motion and left the surveillance room along with the Ground Forces’ Major General. About Ye Jian’s results, as her direct commander, he was delighted with it!
“The time she spent during training is too little. Slightly over a month is like a kindergartener that just entered the school for us frogmen. Although she had some fundamentals, she’s still a long way away from truly passing.”
The Navy Commander gruffly said while walking as he straightened the smile on his face. His voice that was filled with prestige contained a cool sharpness as he spoke with a gruff voice: “Since World War II, Frogmen Special Forces had become the most important unit in each nation’s military. Our country had a slow start, but we had invested large amounts of money and supplies into cultivating and training frogmen.”
“Along with the informatization of war, there’s already modern weapons for anti-frogmen operations while the probability for underwater combat wasn’t very high. Even so, to improve our frogmen’s survivability and anti-frogmen strategies, underwater combat training was a necessary round.”
“Ye Jian is already not bad; she’s grasped the essence of underwater combat techniques; all she needs is more tactical leveling. If you place her here with me during Winter Break, if you come and take a look, she’ll be much more improved.”
Major General Yang nodded his head and asked after pondering for a while: “Say, do you think she can participate in next year’s competition with the American Special Forces? Sending her to train in your unit, we’ve already considered sending her to attend the competition with the Americans.”
She’s also arranged to go overseas to participate in such an important event? The shock on the Navy Commander’s face was very hard to hide.
“We actually do have such decisions, that’s why, even if you didn’t mention bringing her here for training during winter break, I would still discuss that with you.” It was currently noon, with his skin being in pain after being scorched under the sun; the Major General walked under the sunlight. The two golden shoulder badges shone with cold golden sheens, emphasizing the Major General’s majesty, “This year’s winter break, next year’s summer break for two months, after that was September’s competition, there’s about half a year’s time to train her.”
The Navy Commander didn’t have any objections about that; he does not have the authority to interfere with matters that were arranged by the Ground Forces. “I can cooperate with the Ground Forces’ arrangements, and I can allow Ye Jian to return here for training at any time; it’s just that she’s going through interrupted training. The moment she starts, the amount of hard work she would go through would very likely be multiple times of the other frogmen.”
