Zhao Weihong also noticed the sharp gazes directed at him, but he didn't care.

As the report progressed, the tone gradually rose, and the manner of speaking became more composed.

Zhao Weihong rediscovered a pure, familiar feeling.

This caused his thoughts to gradually rise, above the podium where everyone was focused, above the silent stage, and finally above the entire venue.

It was a phantom that looked exactly like Zhao Weihong, but only he himself could see it.

When Zhao Weihong spoke, he spoke; when Zhao Weihong remained silent, he remained silent.

His words were silent, yet they resonated deep within Zhao Weihong's chest.

It was like a fire, a fire that burned ever brighter, as if it would burn Zhao Weihong completely.

When Zhao Weihong had to stop and catch her breath because of her long speech.

He raised his head as if struck by a sudden inspiration.

And the illusory figure that extended from his body and was now burning fiercely also happened to lower its head and look at him.

"The purpose of the exercise has never been to determine a winner or loser, much less to pursue a vague ranking."

"It is not so much to seek out those problems that have always existed, but which we have always ignored."

At this point, Zhao Weihong's voice paused noticeably again.

Along the way.

Countless people told Zhao Weihong that she needed to be worldly-wise, tactful, and learn to blend in with the crowd.

Among these people were Zhao Weihong's comrades-in-arms, Zhao Weihong's elders, and Zhao Weihong's superiors.

Zhao Weihong could clearly sense that, regardless of the initial intentions of these people in saying these things, they were indeed doing it for their own good.

That was a sincere expectation.

A hope that one does not want to be trapped or let down by the conventional rules of this world.

gradually.

Zhao Weihong toned down her sharp edges and, in the process of traveling to various remote and difficult units, gradually learned to "compromise".

Compromise with yourself, compromise with the ideal version of yourself.

But Zhao Weihong's sharp edges were not smoothed out.

He simply realized that he shouldn't insist on things that are unimportant.

But on matters he considered important, his stubbornness, his fortitude, and his integrity remained unchanged.

Just like now.

Zhao Weihong knew very well that if he were to reveal all the problems he had discovered in detail, he would offend every single one of the cadres in the audience.

This is clearly not the kind of behavior that aligns with those patient and persuasive "teachings".

A voice echoed in Zhao Weihong's mind.

The voices belong to Zhou Kehu, Chang Dingfang, and all the people who have guided and helped him along the way.

The voice kept saying that there are many ways to raise issues. Zhao Weihong could take a roundabout approach and raise the issue privately with Deputy Chief Wei.

In this way, if any problems arise in the future, the participating cadres will not blame Zhao Weihong.

If I hadn't come up on stage and stood in this position.

Zhao Weihong might do that.

But when Zhao Weihong took this position, he could feel a burden falling on his shoulders.

this moment.

Zhao Weihong suddenly understood why Deputy Chief Wei had asked her to give this report.

It's not just because Zhao Weihong is capable of discovering problems that many senior commanders might not even notice.

Furthermore, it was because Deputy Chief Wei knew Zhao Weihong's personality well and knew what Zhao Weihong would do in such situations.

A score of 7 out of 10.

The 93-point question.

This statement itself speaks volumes.

If even Zhao Weihong cannot face the problem squarely, but instead hesitates and speaks vaguely.
Is there any need to continue this exercise?

Fortunately.

Thousands of sails have passed.

Zhao Weihong remains true to herself!
At that moment, the phantom in the sky burst into flames, eventually transforming into a leaping flame that plunged into Zhao Weihong's chest.

This flame seemed to infuse Zhao Weihong with strength and courage, enabling him to speak without changing his expression, words that were destined to resonate throughout the audience!
"And in the exercise that just ended..."

"There are many such problems!"

"Especially the 149th Division, which was on the defensive!"

One second. Two seconds. Three seconds.
Zhao Weihong's voice was like a high-yield thermobaric bomb, instantly sucking away all the oxygen in the venue and making everyone feel suffocated.

A heart-pounding, suffocating experience!
After a silence that went unnoticed by almost everyone, even though Deputy Chief Wei was still sitting at the front of the stage, and even though many people were very familiar with Zhao Weihong's style, the venue was filled with circles of very obvious discussions!

"Is this kid crazy?"

"Having just finished harassing their own unit during the exercise, are they now attacking their new unit?"

Zheng Zairong, who already harbored resentment towards Zhao Weihong, acted even more dramatically, standing up halfway off his chair!
If someone hadn't been quick enough to pull him back, he probably would have run onto the stage!

"Don't pull me! I have to have a serious talk with him today!"

"Even if this kid has the deputy commander backing him up, he still has to be reasonable, right?"

"We've already won the war! What are you still trying to say to me?"

"Even if these problems really exist, I can still win the battle!"

In fact.

It wasn't just Jung Jae-young who had this idea.

Apart from most of the cadres of the 346th Regiment.

Almost everyone present from the 149th Division was glaring angrily at Zhao Weihong!

The military is actually a place that is "results-oriented".

The treatment of two people who fight, the winner and the loser, is completely different.

The most obvious manifestation of this characteristic is in assessments and exercises.

If your grades are bad, don't mention how hard you usually work; no one will care.

Similarly, if you lose an exercise, even breathing is wrong!

But if they achieve remarkable results, the treatment will be reversed.

Praise and commendation go without saying.

Mistakes and problems that occur during this process are usually wiped clean and no one will bother to dwell on them.

And now.

Zhao Weihong broke this "consensus".

He showed everyone present through his actions.

Grades are grades, problems are problems.

Problems cannot overshadow achievements, and achievements can never solve problems!
During this process, Zhao Weihong simply stood there quietly, and Deputy Chief Wei did not help him tidy up the situation.

The elderly man who brought Zhao Weihong to this stage seemed to firmly believe that Zhao Weihong could handle such a "small scene." And Zhao Weihong did not disappoint Deputy Chief Wei.

The angry stares and excited discussions did not change Zhao Weihong's expression in the slightest.

As the noise in the venue gradually subsided over time, Zhao Weihong spoke again, her voice still steady and powerful, carrying a sense of composure and determination!
A sense of composure and determination that belongs to a living father!

"Insufficient initiative and a lack of adequate understanding of information-based warfare."

"In particular, the commanders were not adequately prepared before the battle! They were not serious enough about the exercise! They did not have enough trust in the rank and file commanders!"

The problems Zhao Weihong mentioned earlier are common issues in the 149th Division.

But the points he pointed out at the end were highly targeted and had a very clear objective!
Pointing directly at Guan Jiwu in the audience!

It is clear.

Zhao Weihong offended the "god" in the hearts of countless cadres of the 149th Division.

This time, even the cadres of the 446th Regiment changed their expressions, and their gazes toward Zhao Weihong became increasingly hostile!

Only Chen Zheng, who had fought alongside Zhao Weihong, stared blankly at Zhao Weihong on the stage.

The eyes are complicated.

Many people also looked at Guan Jiwu in the front row.

But they found that this veteran who had experienced the baptism of war, the biggest troublemaker in the Sichuan military region, and a recognized master of positional defense warfare, did not get angry.

Instead, he slowly closed his eyes, revealing an expression of "it should be this way".

No one knows what Guan Jiwu is thinking at this moment.

His behavior was seen by many as an example of "not arguing with others".

But Guan Jiwu's indifference doesn't mean others don't care.

This time, Jung Jae-young finally stood up from his seat.

But before he could even speak, he was met with Peng Jia'an's fierce whip kick that came flying through the air!
"Snapped!"

The whip kick aimed at Jung Jae-young's calf knocked him to the ground.

Covered in dust and dirt, he hadn't even figured out who had attacked him when he heard Peng Jia'an's voice, suppressed with anger, coming from above.

"roll!"

After saying that, Peng Jia'an glanced at Guan Jiwu, but quickly looked away.

Jung Jae-young left.

Zhao Weihong, Deputy Chief Wei, and many others left.

Many people looked at him with bewilderment, not understanding why he would do such a thing.

Even if you don't take Zhao Weihong seriously, you should at least take Vice Chief Wei sitting on the stage seriously, right?
But when you think about it, Zheng Zairong was the regimental commander under Guan Jiwu, and all of this suddenly makes sense.

Many people, through this brief interlude, understood Zhao Weihong's intentions and why he would say such a shocking thing!

Zhao Weihong's "output" on Guan Jiwu is far from over!
A full twenty minutes!

Zhao Weihong was talking about the problems of the 149th Division, especially Guan Jiwu, in this exercise.

His tone was impartial, yet his words were like constantly wielding sharp knives, completely stripping away the "new clothes" that shrouded Guan Jiwu and everyone in the 149th Division!

"If this weren't a drill."

"If the attacking side is an American force with equivalent equipment."

"If this battle involves air force, or even the cooperation of other units."

"Then I'm afraid I won't have the chance to stand here and speak so eloquently."

"And many of our comrades in the audience will not have the opportunity to sit here either!"

"."

Chang Dingfang and the others stared blankly at Zhao Weihong.

Zhao Weihong's family members couldn't empathize with her outburst; they were simply shocked by her audacity!

At first, Chang Dingfang and the others didn't think much of it after hearing these words, but the more they thought about it, the more uneasy they felt!

Why does it seem like we're involved too?
This is not an illusion.

After delivering this concluding speech, Zhao Weihong turned her attention to the 116th Division!
"As the attacking side in this exercise, the 116th Division also has many problems."

“Don’t underestimate it!”

"The use of information technology equipment is not proficient enough, there is no defense against infiltration operations in an information-based environment, and there is no in-depth research on combat in an information-based context!"

"The entire exercise was not a contest between informationized forces and motorized forces."

"It is a contest between mechanized forces equipped with information technology and motorized forces!"

"."

Now everyone present understood.

Is Zhao Weihong not planning to go back alive today?
One exercise, two units.

They were all scolded by Zhao Weihong! And every single unit had some connection with Zhao Weihong!
What is a "living father"? What is a "troublemaker"? What is a "stubborn person"?

this moment.

Everyone regretted that their knowledge was too lacking, and they really couldn't accurately describe Zhao Weihong at this moment. They could only choose a few from Zhao Weihong's past titles and stick them on like labels!
Let's take another look at Zhao Weihong on the stage.

Still showing no inclination to "give up," they resumed their highly aggressive summary and analysis of the 116th Division, adopting the same approach they had taken with their lengthy critique of the 149th Division!
Even though Zhao Weihong hasn't been back to the 116th Division for a long time.

But when it comes to "discussing issues," Zhao Weihong has even more to say than the 149th Division.

As the saying goes, "The one who knows you best is always your enemy."

Zhao Weihong took advantage of these problems within the 116th Division to formulate those brilliant combat plans.

Now, analyzing and explaining these issues, I naturally have a very clear understanding of them!

If we were to give a brief yet precise summary of the problems existing in the 116th Division,

Then it has to be Zhao Weihong's next sentence.

"Wearing new shoes but walking the same old path!"

"In fact, although we now have a batch of information-based equipment that can be applied to actual combat, we are still in the early stages of building an information system."

"I urge all comrades to seriously consider the questions I have raised, to think about how our enemies might use these questions, and how we should solve them!"

Zhao Weihong paused at this point.

Looking at the faces below the stage, now filled with astonishment after the initial anger and shock, Zhao Weihong took a deep breath and prepared her next words.

He never expected the people in the audience to understand him, let alone expect everyone to like him.

But at least they need to understand what kind of mission they are facing.

And in what ways does this mission relate to this land, this country, and every person they once swore to protect with their lives?
"Comrades."

"A strong nation must have a strong military; only a strong military can ensure national security!"

"The tasks we are undertaking, the cause we are trying to accomplish, will never truly end."

"But all our efforts and every problem we solve will bring each of us, and our team, closer and closer to our goal!"

Problems can never defeat us; the only thing that can defeat us is ourselves!

this moment.

Zhao Weihong and Guan Jiwu, who was sitting in the audience, made eye contact.

Without any hesitation, Zhao Weihong shouted to Guan Jiwu and everyone present in the most impassioned tone!
"The journey to building a strong military is never-ending!"
