This was the first confrontational exercise between Zhuang Yan and the Red Army that he fought at the Grassland Town Base.

This is also a significant exercise for the Blue Army.

You know, before this, although the Blue Army had more than two years of preparation and training, you would have won more experience by hitting sandbags a thousand times in the training room than you would have to go to the ring and play a serious game with others.

That day, Fan Mingjun kept Xia Chenglong, Zhuang Yan and others, and set up a table to sit together for a meal.

Eating mutton, two opponents who fought to the death on the exercise field began to speak out from their hearts.

"Old Xia..."

Well, Fan Mingjun has called Xia Minglong "Old Xia" this time.

"To be honest, I was absolutely unwilling to accept it when I announced that I failed in the exercise operation in the morning. Do you know?"

Xia Chenglong nodded: "I know, of course, and understand."

"You are saying good things to me." Fan Mingjun said: "We are opponents, not superiors and subordinates, so you don't need to say good things to me. You did teach me a very vivid lesson in this exercise."

Xia Chenglong shook his head: "Of course not. There is no need for me to do this. I just think that you are indeed excellent. I have learned a lot from you."

He looked at Fan Mingjun and said sincerely.

Fan Mingjun saw this sincerity on Xia Chenglong's face. He knew that as a soldier, this sincerity could not be pretended.

"Old Fan, it's not just that our Blue Army is your whetstone, but your Red Army Brigade is also helping our Blue Army grow. You know, before conducting a confrontation exercise with you, we were really unsure. No, we should say that we didn't even understand mine."

Fan Mingjun smiled and said, "I am so scary?"

Xia Chenglong said: "Your brother is a famous tiger general in the military region. He commands an old ace division. After so many years of family background, not to mention anything else, just equipment and tactics are much more skilled than us. What are we? More than two years ago, it was just an ordinary tank unit. When the base was established, the leaders felt distressed and refused to say that the good troops were put here. At that time, many people thought in their hearts that the Blue Army, which simulated foreign troops, wanted such a good unit to act as it? Wouldn't that waste talents and organization? We were..."

Speaking of this, shake your head.

"It's really a big shot!"

Fan Mingjun said: "Lao Xia, what you said is wrong. If the leaders do not pay attention to the Blue Army, do you think there will be the current synthetic training base? Do you think--"

He couldn't help but point his fingers solemn and serious.

"I understand seriously. I used to be a company commander under my command. I know his value. If I don't say anything else, you are willing to give him to me. I will go to the military region to find the chief, and I will dig him over even if I am silly. And this-"

He pointed to the solemnity again.

As he said that, his face turned to solemnity, and his eyes were brightly staring at the latter.

This made Zhuangyan so embarrassed to watch the game.

Fan Mingjun said: "I have never been in contact with Zhuang Yan. This exercise is the first time I have been in contact. However, my intelligence collection was done in full before. Let me ask, if the leader does not pay attention to your Blue Army, he will be transferred directly from the southern troops? And it is such an old special forces talent, without the approval of the head of the headquarters, he may not let anyone go."

Xia Chenglong was speechless.

Fan Mingjun's words came to the point.

Fan Mingjun suddenly sighed and said, "Before you came here in the afternoon, I was so angry that I was about to smash the table in my room. But then as I thought about it, I seemed to figure it out again."

"General Director Shi is right. I won the battlefield situation, but lost on the real battlefield. I just inertially thought about taking up more space. I never thought that if I was beheaded in actual combat, the consequences would be disastrous. This was an unfinished battle. Even if my traces were not captured, I could only say that I had won a game for the time being. At first, I felt that we had been tossing from the camp by the director department, bombing various chemical weapons attacks and avoiding them, and even being bombed once by tactical nuclear bombs. In the subsequent battles, the battle loss rate was lower than you, and I was the absolute winner. But what I didn't think was that your Blue Army had only been established for more than two years, and our troops had a history of decades."

"More importantly, your Blue Army has just completed its organization and many of its equipment have not been equipped. Although it has been strengthened in the digital combat system, some disadvantages cannot be changed in the end. For example, night vision equipment is not as advanced as ours, for example, the cooperation between your battalions is not as skillful as us, etc. I have seen your weaknesses to fight. One day, we really encountered opponents on the battlefield who do not have any generation gaps, and are even much stronger than us. Can we still win? At least our advantages in this exercise no longer exist."

"For example, I found that in actual combat, you have no advantages except for tank enhancement. For example, the range of various firearms is no different from that of us. However, on the actual battlefield, the X army you simulated has more advanced weapons than us. If we really fight against them in reality, we will actually suffer a loss. So I decided-"

He picked up a piece of mutton and put it in his mouth and ate it with relish.

"I plan to write a report to the expert group of the director department after the exercise, write down these existing loopholes, and let them pay attention to adjusting the data."

Xia Chenglong and others were stunned.

The solemnity is even more unexpected.

Fan Mingjun is not only a tiger general, but also an open and upright gentleman.

His proposal is actually to strengthen the Blues.

In doing so, when his troops come here to continue to fight against the Blues in the future, the difficulty will be much greater than now.

He is asking for trouble!

From another perspective, Fan Mingjun really figured it out.

He realized that he didn't really need to care too much if he lost here.

The stronger the Blue Army, the more beneficial it is to the Red Army, and the effect of training will be more obvious.

In the exercise field, in order to compete for Xu Ming'er, he gave up fighting with a powerful simulated opponent. If he really goes to the battlefield in the future, is Xu Ming useful? That will kill him!

That supper took more than three hours.

The two sides were in a hurry to have an interview, from the training of soldiers to equipment shortcomings, from tactical application to battlefield layout, and finally the political commissar of the Blue Army could not stand it anymore, reminding Xia Chenglong that the Red Army Brigade would have live ammunition assessment tomorrow. Only then did everyone get up and say goodbye without feeling satisfied.
