From the 7th Steel Company to the Synthetic Division

Chapter 516 Then let's take them all down.

Brigade Commander Wang directly addressed Xiahou Lan's words, as he was genuinely angered. Hong Yi and the others were also displeased with Xiahou Lan's direct intimidation.

The atmosphere, which had been relatively calm, quickly turned tense and hostile.

However, Xiahou Lan was not afraid at all, nor was he afraid of being beaten for provoking others on their turf. Instead, he added fuel to the fire and continued to provoke them, saying, "Hey, yes, that's the idea. Your description is very brilliant."

"Brigade Commander Xiahou, according to you, humph, then we don't need to come at all? You're going to win anyway." Tian Baoguo's face darkened.

Xiahou Lan's words are truly infuriating; they can even stir up emotions in those involved in political work.

"Your purpose in coming here is to be defeated by us. That's your meaning and value. Otherwise, what do you think you're here for? To come here halfway and expect to get something for nothing?" Xiahou Lan said sarcastically.

"Are you so sure you can win?" Brigade Commander Wang laughed, laughing in exasperation.

"You think you can win against our Mountain Eagle Brigade? Don't think you're so great just because you've won a few games before. That's just because your opponents were too weak. When you get to Wufeng Mountain, you'll see who the real Blue Army is."

Xiahou Lan was not only mocking, but also expressing confidence, and even employing some kind of psychological tactic.

Similar to PUA.

By forcefully attacking and humiliating the opponent, a powerful seed is planted in their heart, so that when the real confrontation comes, they will be at a disadvantage.

If one side in a war lacks morale, it will affect the effectiveness of their combat.

"If Brigade Commander Xiahou, you came all this way just to show off how powerful you are and demonstrate what it means to be arrogant, then it's a real waste of our hospitality," Hong Yi retorted coldly.

Hong Yi was a stubborn man by nature. He had never even given face to his own brigade commander, so how could he possibly give face to Xiahou Lan?

"I didn't want to see you. I came here just to see your Chief of Staff Chen and see if he is as amazing as the rumors say. Since he's not here, there's no need for me to stay here any longer."

After Xiahou Lan finished speaking, he picked up his hat and walked out. He stopped deliberately at the door and said, "Brigade Commander Wang, please pass on a message to your Chief of Staff Chen Jun. He wants to stay one more day and doesn't want to be fired early."

Then stay here obediently and don't move. After I finish dealing with the Tsunami Assault Brigade, I will personally send you away, which will be a dignified way for you.

If you're in a hurry to get back to your date, we'll start fighting first thing tomorrow morning; you can even skip lunch.

Xiahou Lan boasted that he could defeat and eliminate the Steel Seventh Brigade in just half a day. It has to be said that his confidence was truly baffling.

"Brigade Commander Xiahou, since you're so kind, I'll give you a piece of advice: if you want to fight us, you'd better tell your troops to have a more substantial lunch. My soldiers won't eat anything too meager."

Wang Qingrui countered sharply, his words also carrying a strong suggestive tone.

It means that if you dare to fight us, we can take over your entire territory in just half a day, and the food you cook will be the same food we cook.

"Your joke isn't funny. You'll only stay here for a day at most."

Xiahou Lan left after saying that.

"Take care, and don't bother seeing me off," Wang Qingrui said casually.

"Get out of here now," Hong Yi said, his words even more direct.

Once Xiahou Lan and his men left, everyone could no longer contain their emotions and began to launch into a frenzy of complaints.

"I've seen plenty of people who spout nonsense, but I've never seen anyone this arrogant."

"Where did this lunatic come from? He acts like he's not on his medication."

"This bastard isn't here to talk, he's here to issue a challenge."

……

As everyone chattered and vented, more than twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and a military vehicle appeared outside the tent.

Chen Jun and his two companions, who had flown to the Army Aviation Battalion's helipad and then transferred to a car, got out of the car.

Unaware that Xiahou Lan had come to cause trouble, Chen Jun jumped up and down with joy as he entered the room, handing over the documents and saying, "Brigade Commander, I've got something good."

"What is this?" Wang Qingrui asked after taking it.

"This is an operational plan document of the Mountain Eagle Brigade that the Tsunami Assault Brigade obtained. The Mountain Eagle Brigade plans to annihilate the Tsunami Assault Brigade in the Third Division tomorrow. This is an operational plan that they submitted to the Theater Air Force Command, but it was intercepted by the electronic warfare unit of the Tsunami Assault Brigade."

Chen Jun walked to the side to pour himself a glass of water and continued, "There's another combat plan that the Tsunami Assault Brigade came up with specifically to counter their plan."

They plan to take this opportunity tomorrow to utterly annihilate the Mountain Eagle Brigade, leaving them bald and battered.

"I've reviewed the battle plan, and I don't find it particularly interesting. If the two sides really start fighting, we'll have a good show to watch."

Hearing that what Chen Jun brought back was so crucial, everyone's attention was drawn to it, and they all forgot about the trouble Xiahou Lan had brought.

"Such an important thing, you just gave it to me like that? Something doesn't sound right," Wang Qingrui said suspiciously.

"It's actually very easy to understand; it has only two meanings."

Chen Jun drank the water he had poured out and said, "One is to tell us not to get involved, let the Tsunami Assault Brigade take the lead, and they already have the victory in mind against the Mountain Eagle Brigade."

Another option is that if we want to join, we should join his side and take out the Mountain Eagle Brigade first.

"I really want to join, let's take down the Mountain Eagle Brigade first," Hong Yi said angrily.

"What's wrong with you? Something seems off. Did something happen while we were gone?" Chen Jun asked, keenly aware of the situation.

"If you had come back half an hour earlier, you could have caught a good show," Wang Qingrui said with a smile.

"It's Xiahou Lan, right? What's he here for?" Chen Jun asked, frowning slightly.

"He's incredibly arrogant."

Hong Yi couldn't hold back any longer and said indignantly, "He's not like the Tsunami Assault Brigade. He's extremely arrogant and doesn't need any help from us at all."

They came here to tell us that whether they attack us or the Tsunami Assault Brigade, it's all child's play, and they're leaving us to choose whether to die sooner or later.

"Heh." Upon hearing this, Gao Cheng rolled his eyes, a surge of anger rising to his head.

I only regret that I wasn't there at the time; I didn't even have time to retort.

"Hey, is it sooner or later? Does this guy talk so arrogantly? Does he think we're made of paper?" Chen Jun couldn't help but laugh.

Starting from the original Steel Seventh Company, the Steel Seventh Brigade has overcome numerous obstacles and challenges to reach its current level. The number of opponents it has defeated is countless, and no one has ever dared to be so arrogant in front of the Steel Seventh Brigade.

Even Zhurihe, which is known as the number one blue army in China and whose unit designation is the number one blue army brigade, did not dare to say such a thing when it fought against the Steel Seventh Brigade.

"Xiahou Lan is really inexplicably confident. He even made us make our own choices. If we wanted to get out of here as soon as possible, he would fight us first. After he finished dealing with us, he would then deal with the Tsunami Assault Brigade. It's as if he is the only one who is powerful in the world."

As the political commissar, Tian Baoguo should have calmed down, but at this moment he simply couldn't hold back anymore. "From what you're saying, I can imagine that he really is putting on an invincible act. He is indeed an interesting opponent."

Chen Jun grinned and asked curiously, "They've come to our door to provoke us, so don't you have to fight back?"

"Haha, it's all talk, we can't actually beat them up, even though it's on our turf, right?" Wang Qingrui said with a smile.

"But they only gave us one day, and at most they'll kick us out after one day."

Hong Yi spoke loudly, sounding very angry.

"They've already put their attitude right in our faces. Are we supposed to keep watching the show tomorrow? I don't care what you think, I'm not going to swallow this insult. I have to give that Mountain Eagle Brigade a good beating," Gao Cheng said with a gloomy face.

"Yes, we must wipe out the Mountain Eagle Brigade, and they must die at our hands," Hong Yi said fiercely.

"Looks like tonight's work wasn't in vain."

Chen Jun was the calmest of all. He walked to the conference table, sat down, and said, "Based on the intelligence we have obtained, we can basically make a judgment."

Both the Tsunami Assault Brigade and the Mountain Eagle Brigade are full of confidence in this exercise.

As the ace units that the Navy and Air Force have poured all their efforts into developing, their strength is definitely among the top of these two branches, and they certainly have the capability to back it up.

However, we're not made of clay. If they think they can swallow us whole, they'll have to see if they have strong teeth; otherwise, they might end up with a mouthful of blood.

Every word Chen Jun uttered in his seemingly casual remarks exuded strong confidence.

There's no need to belittle the other person; it comes from their very core.

Hong Yi and Gao Cheng, who were initially very agitated, were infected by Chen Jun's strong confidence, and their emotions gradually calmed down.

"now……"

Chen Jun continued, "We have grasped the basic situation of the Red and Blue armies, so let's sit down and discuss how to fight tomorrow."

It's not just about defeating them, but about making them truly convinced and understanding that strength is earned through fighting, not just words.

After Chen Jun said those words, most of the negative emotions in the crowd dissipated.

The remaining negative emotions were transformed into motivation, giving everyone present a strong push to teach the Red and Blue teams a lesson they would never forget.

"Chief of Staff, what's your plan?" Wang Qingrui asked expectantly.

"The basic operational strategy will not change. We still need to follow the tasks assigned by Team Leader Tan and Chief of Staff Shen and act as a disruptor in this exercise," Chen Jun said.

"Still just stirring things up."

Hong Yi frowned, not liking it very much. Right now, all he wanted was to thoroughly annihilate the Mountain Eagle Brigade.

“Although disrupting things is a task assigned by the leader, now that they’ve bullied us to our doorstep, if we just keep trying to stir things up, wouldn’t we become troublemakers?” Gao Cheng also expressed his opposition.

While a troublemaker can disrupt things, they end up stinking the whole time.

This is too frustrating!

"Your thinking is wrong."

Chen Jun deliberately gave a serious critique, then laughed and said, "Suppose you were fighting with someone and you were defeated head-on, you would feel even more satisfied and more accepting, right?"

Is it more painful to be tricked and defeated by others through various means?

Chen Jun's words had a very good effect. Gao Cheng and Hong Yi, who were originally the most emotional, immediately felt the effect after hearing these words, and their furrowed brows relaxed.

Gao Cheng burst out laughing and said, "Haha, I knew it! When it comes to being a bad guy, it has to be you, Chief of Staff Chen Jun."

Hong Yi and the others all had relaxed, curled eyebrows.

Chen Jun's words are easy to understand.

Even if the loser is very unwilling to accept defeat in a head-on confrontation, it is due to a lack of strength, and they can only accept the defeat without any complaints.

But if you were to die from being tricked, you would definitely feel extremely frustrated and upset.

This anger just won't go away.

It will definitely be painful for a long time.

Seeing that his words had an effect and everyone was excited, Chen Jun continued, "The commander is generally satisfied with our actions this morning. At least it has resonated with the Tsunami Assault Brigade and the Mountain Eagle Brigade."

But now that the Mountain Eagle Brigade has already laid its cards on the table and the Tsunami Assault Brigade has also expressed its stance, our approach must change accordingly.

The first thing that needs to be changed is definitely the objective of this exercise.

Originally, we were just thinking that as long as we didn't lose, we could focus on doing our disruptive work, survive to the end of the exercise, and show our unique style.

But now that they've come so arrogantly to our doorstep, if we don't win this exercise, won't we become a laughing stock?

Our goal now is simple: not only do we need to be a troublemaker, but we also need to win the exercise. Only one unit can survive at Wufeng Mountain, and that will be our 7th Steel Brigade.

……

Based on the results of tonight's operation, Chen Jun completely changed the objectives of the exercise. After an hour or so of discussion, he quickly drafted a new combat plan.

By the time the Seventh Steel Brigade delivered the plan to the directing department, the Red and Blue Armies had already sent theirs over first.

Having received the operational plan for the three-service exercise, the directing department, under the call of Commander-in-Chief Tan, immediately convened a small meeting in the conference room.

Only three people attended the small meeting: Team Leader Tan, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Qian, and Chief of Staff Shen.

"So far, the Red Army's Mountain Eagle Brigade, the Blue Army's Tsunami Assault Brigade, and the Gray Army's Steel Seventh Brigade have all submitted their combat plans. It's just that the Steel Seventh Brigade, the Gray Army, sounds a bit unfamiliar, haha," Deputy Commander-in-Chief Qian laughed.

"It's my fault, haha."

Team Leader Tan also said with a smile, "When we arranged for them to enter the field, we didn't consider that there would be no third-party forces in the traditional red-blue confrontation."

The 7th Steel Brigade is, after all, a professional opposing force, and a genuine blue force. It's actually quite difficult to force them into the existing red-blue force confrontation and assign them a color.

The current tentative gray color doesn't sound quite right, and it doesn't sound good either. Maybe we should just use the code names directly.

"So this exercise won't be called Red and Blue Army anymore?" Deputy Commander-in-Chief Qian asked.
