Guan Jiwu stared in astonishment at Wang Chuan, who was both angry and nervous, not understanding why his casual remark had elicited such a strong reaction from Wang Chuan.

He didn't say anything he shouldn't have!
Seeing that Guan Jiwu did not answer immediately, Wang Chuan became even more nervous!
"Guan Jiwu, I'm giving you a very serious warning!"

"If you dare to instill any fallacies or heresies in Wei Hong, and try to mold him into a stubborn person like you."

"I don't even need to lift a finger, there are plenty of people who will take care of you!"

Upon hearing this, Guan Jiwu finally understood what Wang Chuan was worried about, and immediately shook his head with a smile.

"Sir, you're overthinking it."

"How long has this junior brother of mine been under my command?"

"Judging from this, you should know him better than I do."

"He's not the kind of person who can be easily persuaded by others."

Recalling their previous heated debate, Guan Jiwu's tone revealed a clear sense of emotion and mutual appreciation.

"He and I did have discussions about the future development of the military."

"But as for the result, I think you can guess it without me saying it."

"Neither of us can convince the other."

"Although we hold very different views, even to the point of being irreconcilable."

“But sir, I can sense that Wei Hong and I are actually the same kind of people.”

"They are the kind of people who will stick to the path they have chosen, even if they hit a wall, they will not turn back."

"You don't need to worry about what influence I might have on him."

"Even if we take a step back and say that Wei Hong really does end up on a path that goes against the will of the people like I do, it can only be because he makes his own choice out of his own conscience, and not because he was instigated by anyone."

In the end, Guan Jiwu even seemed very gratified, as if he was delighted to have met such a "rough gem" as Zhao Weihong at the end of his military career.

Guan Jiwu's thoughts have not changed.

He still didn't think that motorized infantry units like the 149th Division were suitable for Zhao Weihong's development.

This is not only Guan Jiwu's recognition of Zhao Weihong's talent, but also Guan Jiwu's adherence to his own ideals.

Actually, it doesn't matter whether it's Guan Jiwu or Zhao Weihong.

The stubbornness and obstinacy they often display to the outside world are not because they are inherently stubborn, but rather because they adhere to their beliefs.

Without him.

It's simply a matter of being realistic.

Wang Chuan: "."

He looked at Guan Jiwu, who had a calm expression, with some annoyance.

Wang Chuan didn't say anything, but his heart was in turmoil!

Isn't this wrong?

When two stubborn people like you clash, shouldn't it be a clash of titans, a battle of wits, with neither willing to give in?
How did this "heroes cherish heroes" scene suddenly come about?
However, I was somewhat surprised by the unpredictable development of the relationship between Zhao Weihong and Guan Jiwu.

But Wang Chuan also felt a little relieved of his tension and anxiety.

The arrangement for Zhao Weihong to work under Guan Jiwu was made jointly by Deputy Chief Wei and Old Yu, and no one else was allowed to interfere.

Although Wang Chuan appeared to support the arrangement, he still had many concerns in his heart.

Let talented people compete against talented people, and stubborn people fight against stubborn people. This idea seems pretty good.

But Wang Chuan has always been worried that the ultimate "winner" between Zhao Weihong and Guan Jiwu might transform into a "combination" of the two of them, or even a super-enhanced version of ProMax.
Guan Jiwu alone has already given the Bashu Military Region, along with its leaders at the level of Deputy Chief Wei, a major headache.

If a "super-enhanced version" were to appear, wouldn't that cause a huge uproar?
What Wang Chuan fears even more is that the person who will become this person is very likely to be Zhao Weihong!

In terms of how troublesome Zhao Weihong is, compared to Guan Jiwu, she's like a "good baby" in kindergarten who always wears a little red flower.

But how old is Guan Jiwu this year?
How old is Zhao Weihong?

If Zhao Weihong starts to get stuck on trivial matters under Guan Jiwu's "inspiration," then for the next few decades, the Sichuan military—no, the entire Yan Kingdom military—won't have a moment of peace!

Fortunately.

Zhao Weihong was very determined and resolutely resisted the "bewitching" from Guan Jiwu.

At least that's the case for now.

This was the first time Wang Chuan had ever seen Guan Jiwu show such admiration for someone, even to the point of being completely convinced.

".snort."

"Junior Brother? You're calling me that so affectionately!"

"I'm his uncle!"

Meeting Guan Jiwu's sudden gaze, which was a mixture of shock and suspicion, Wang Chuan rolled his eyes and continued irritably.

Why are you looking at me like that?

"What? Can't someone with the surname Zhao have an uncle with the surname Wang?"

Guan Jiwu: "."

"As long as you're happy."

Upon hearing this, Wang Chuan seemed about to speak again.

But the figure rushing towards them on the mountain road in the morning light instantly caught their attention.

That was Wang Fei from the Second Company, who was running at the front and responsible for pacing the entire team.

As the squad leader of the elite squad, Wang Fei, who is nearly 30 years old, is no longer at his peak in his youth.

But when the company needs him, this veteran squad leader is still able to step up and shoulder the responsibility for the entire company!

Behind him were several figures spaced far apart.

Compared to their orderly and uniform departure, these figures appeared sparse and disorganized.

It is clear.

This 5-kilometer assessment is about to end.

The difference in physical fitness among the members of the Second Company was thus clearly demonstrated.

Someone with exceptional skills like Wang Fei could carry two guns and still move with incredible speed, leading the entire company.

Behind him, two other people worked together, carrying an extra backpack. Although they looked a bit strained, they still made it to the front.

On the other hand, Wang Chuan didn't see a single one of those people whose burdens had been relieved and who were now relatively lighter.

Needless to say.

They must have fallen behind.

It looks like it will take another two or three minutes.

Wang Chuan will then be able to know the result of this assessment.

Wang Fei also noticed Guan Jiwu and Wang Chuan on one side of the mountain road.

Seeing that his own top leader and the other top leaders present had actually come here, Wang Chuan's heart tightened. He then squeezed out the last bit of strength from his already exhausted body and roared as he began his final sprint!

The figures following behind him were also quite impressive, sprinting in the last few hundred meters, determined to make a good impression on their leader!
Wang Chuan never hesitates to express his respect and admiration for these tenacious and hardworking soldiers.

He smiled and nodded at the figures passing by him.

Wang Chuan turned his gaze and looked towards the end of the mountain road, but he still couldn't see that familiar figure.

Think about it too.

Zhao Weihong's status is different now.

He was no longer the ordinary soldier who could receive countless praises and honors simply by performing well.

Instead, they are "quasi-officers" who must shoulder leadership responsibilities and lead their entire team forward on the path of serving the people!

It's impossible to run ahead all the way; instead, one should follow alongside those comrades who are physically "weaker" and fill in the gaps.

More figures rushed past him. Wang Chuan knew that if he waited any longer, it would be too obvious, so he simply turned around and slowly walked back to the starting point.

Seeing this, Guan Jiwu immediately followed. Just as he arrived behind Wang Chuan, he heard a somewhat ethereal voice.

"Wei Hong will not be you, and you will not be him."

"If you want your ideas to be implemented and even recognized, don't expect others to do it for you."

"It's up to you to keep going, just like you've done over the past few years."

"gone back."

The words fell.

Guan Jiwu suddenly stopped in his tracks.

The burly man stood there for a moment, lost in thought by the mountain road, before striding after Wang Chuan.

"Yes."

at the same time.

With four guns slung over his shoulder and an extra backpack on his head, Zhao Weihong was pulling the political instructor of the Second Company forward with all his might, using the strap of his backpack at his waist.

Occasionally, the gazes of those around Zhao Weihong would fall upon her, their eyes filled with shock and deep respect!
That platoon leader... he's a complete beast!

Live!

Carrying so much extra weight, and even dragging someone along.

Zhao Weihong still had the energy to cheer on the soldiers beside her!

"Comrades! Hang in there! Only a few hundred meters left!"

"Keep the pace and get ready to sprint!"

The reason why the soldiers next to Zhao Weihong were left behind was not entirely due to a lack of competence, but because their mission was more arduous than that of the other members of the company.

For example, the soldiers in the heavy machine gun squad, although in terms of load, the average load per person in the heavy machine gun squad is not much different from that of other people in the company.

However, transporting a heavy machine gun that needs to be carried on the shoulder is undoubtedly much more strenuous than carrying a rifle on the shoulder or a backpack on the back.

A five-kilometer race.

The soldiers in the heavy machine gun squad felt that the supporting hands of their heavy machine guns were about to lose sensation, and their shoulders were constantly burning with pain.

Even with soft padding for protection.

These soldiers, who fought desperately for honor, still wore out their shoulders.

The rocket launcher operator wasn't much better off; the rocket launcher would strike his hip bone from time to time, each strike sending piercing pain through him.

By the end, the rocket launcher operator was numb, just holding the rocket launcher steady as he desperately ran towards the starting point—no, the finish line—that he could already see!
The area near the camp gate is now packed with people!
The soldiers of the Second Company, who arrived ahead of time, didn't even have time to rest. They stood on both sides of the mountain road, waving their hands and shouting desperately at their comrades who were still running!

"Platoon leader! Just past twenty-two minutes!"

"Come on!"

To tell the truth.

This was the first time Zhao Weihong had ever been expected to cross the finish line on the track.

But Zhao Weihong didn't feel ashamed at all; instead, she let out a roar!
"Red Second Company"

"Must win!"

Amid Zhao Weihong's impassioned shouts.

The heavy machine gun crew, along with the instructor who was being dragged along by Zhao Weihong, crossed the finish line almost simultaneously!
Director Lin, who had been standing near the starting line with a serious expression, also pressed down hard on his stopwatch!
Near the entrance to the camp, a series of panting sounds suddenly filled the air.

I can tell.

The soldiers of the Second Company were all exhausted.

But they paid no attention to rest, instead staring intently at Director Lin, whose expression was inscrutable.

at last.

After a brief silence.

Director Lin took a deep breath and loudly announced the achievements of the Second Red Company.

"The result of the five-kilometer armed march in the mountains was 22 minutes and 18 seconds."

"Excellent everyone!"

Almost the instant the words landed.

The entrance to the camp was immediately filled with cheerful cheers!

Three months of hard work, three months of effort, three months of sweat, and now we have finally reaped abundant rewards!
The political instructor of the Second Company was overjoyed and almost burst into tears!

"Old Hu! Did you hear me?!"

"I didn't let our company down! I ran it in under 22 and a half minutes!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Yiming could hardly hide his disdain. He thought to himself, "You practically had Wei Hong drag you the whole way, and you even divided up most of your load, leaving you with just a water bottle and a shoulder bag."

How could you say such a thing?
At this critical juncture, Hu Yiming couldn't say much, so he could only give his partner an awkward but polite smile.

Hu Yiming also did not forget the biggest contributor to this assessment.

But to Hu Yiming's great surprise...

As he turned his gaze, preparing to properly thank Zhao Weihong...

Zhao Weihong stood there with a furrowed brow, deep in thought, a stark contrast to the cheerful demeanor of the people around her.

soon.

More people in the Second Company noticed Zhao Weihong's "strange behavior".

Within seconds, the crowd, who had been immersed in joy, suddenly fell silent due to Zhao Weihong's silence.

Zhao Weihong seemed to have no intention of paying attention to them, and instead walked straight up to Director Lin.

"Comrade examiner."

"I want to know what score our unit got on this project."

Only a very few people noticed the key point in Zhao Weihong's words.

Score.

Rather than grades.

As for the results, the word "excellent" is sufficient to describe them.

However, there is still a significant gap between excellent individuals.

"The standard for excellence is 23 and a half points, which is 90 points."

"On the basis of excellence, one point will be awarded for every ten seconds less, with any fraction of a second counted as a full second."

"Based on your company's performance, your score in this event is 97.2 points."

"A very good performance."

In fact.

Director Lin was being conservative.

Based on his years of experience, he judged that the Second Company of the Red Army was likely to be the best performer in this assessment!
But what he didn't know was.

Regarding this seemingly outstanding result.

Zhao Weihong was not very satisfied.

After a brief thought.

Facing the gazes of everyone present, Zhao Weihong made a startling statement!

"Comrade examiner."

"Can we run it one more time?"
