Chapter 293 Internal Dispute
Chapter 293 Internal Dispute
The Chinese team consists of 10 official and reserve players. After reading the contents of the competition manual, they all felt quite stressed.
I also admire the person who designed the rules of the competition. It really shows how fun it is to make it so complicated.
In order to meet the rules of the competition, the first thing to do is to fill in the team roster and submit the rosters of China Team 1 and China Team 2 on time.
This matter is very important!
The organizers of the event have always been biased against the Chinese team, and it can be seen from the competition rules that time is very important. If the Chinese team fails to submit the roster in time, the organizers will definitely find fault with it.
If the Chinese team is unable to participate in the competition due to the time limit for submitting the list, they will have to go back after just showing up here.
That would be really embarrassing.
Don’t think that the event organizers are incapable of doing such a thing. These days, the foreign countries’ malice towards China is so great that they can do anything you can’t imagine.
Let’s not talk about what happened before this, what will happen next is even more outrageous to both humans and gods.
The embassy was bombed in 99 and the fighter jet crashed in 01.
Both of these incidents were instigated by a certain country behind the scenes, which deliberately and forcefully suppressed China. Its arrogant behavior is simply outrageous.
China decided to participate in this international special forces competition in 1998, taking advantage of the information-based military reform.
There is only one core reason.
In fact, it is to expand international influence.
By demonstrating China's military strength, China can have enough say in the world without being smeared and suppressed by a certain country.
If you want to have enough influence in the international arena, everything else can only stand aside, and the only truth is a strong enough fist.
and so……
Chen Jun and his team's participation in the special forces competition is far more than just superficially about winning the championship.
There is an extremely far-reaching meaning behind it. It is the game between major powers, the country's foresight, and the beginning of its formal march toward the world.
Only when Chinese soldiers are strong enough and the Chinese army is powerful enough can the world respect China.
It is precisely because of the significance of this that Chen Jun feels so much pressure in his heart that he dares not relax even a little bit.
This is the first time that Chinese soldiers will compete abroad, and they must make a good start in the first match.
There is no second way!
If the Chinese team fails to achieve good results, it will not just be a disgrace abroad, it will also affect its international reputation.
The negative impact of this level cannot be described in words.
Therefore, the slogan shouted by Chen Jun when he went to war was the military order with the determination to die bravely and burn his boats -
"Either win or die!!"
With this determination to fight to the death, Chen Jun set his sights directly on winning the championship. No matter which country it was, he would kill all those standing in his way.
In order to achieve this ultimate goal, Chen Jun must make a bias in the team division.
That is to gather all the essence and form the strongest blade.
Select the four strongest and most suitable players from the eight people for this primitive jungle competition to form the strongest Chinese team.
This team will be responsible for winning the championship and bringing the country its first title in an international military competition.
The second team serves as a supporting team, with the goal of striving for second place, while also trying to protect the "main team" and making sacrifices when necessary.
Chen Jun’s idea is very extreme, and it is also the approach with the highest success rate.
However, Colonel Li Dayong disagreed!
As the head of the Chinese delegation, Colonel Li Dayong has a certain say in the arrangements of the competition and has enough power to restrain Chen Jun, the team captain.
Colonel Li Dayong has a typical Chinese character, which means he tends to be moderate as advocated by Confucianism.
In Chen Jun's opinion, this configuration of one main and one auxiliary is too radical. If something happens to the main team, the Chinese team will have no chance of winning the championship.
Colonel Li Dayong prefers a moderate balance and distributes the strength of the eight people evenly.
Put the eggs evenly into two baskets so that even if one basket falls over, there are still eggs in the other basket.
This means that if two teams move forward at the same pace, there is more hope than if one team charges alone.
As for the problem that the strength of the two teams is averaged and cannot reach the peak, Colonel Li Dayong has a reasonable explanation for it.
At least he thought it was a reasonable explanation!
First of all, the rules of this competition are very clear. You cannot arrive early. In the opinion of Colonel Li Dayong, you don't need to be too strong.
It mainly tests the contestants' persistence and perseverance, and whether they can last for 78 hours without rest.
And this is something that all Chinese soldiers have.
Next are the ten players of the Chinese team. In his opinion, the strength of each player is similar, the only difference is their specialties.
Colonel Li Dayong was sent by the Military Commission, and his knowledge of the contestants was entirely based on paper information.
From the data...
Except for the captain Chen Jun, who is a bit abnormal, he is almost a flawless octagonal warrior, which makes Colonel Li Dayong sigh:
"Are young people nowadays so fierce?"
The personal information of each of the remaining team members is basically the same, but they have different strengths, and they are all excellent players.
Based on his experience and logic, Colonel Li Dayong believes that every player has the potential to win the championship.
Since every player has the strength to challenge for the championship, all we need to do is to form two balanced teams based on their individual strengths.
There is absolutely no need to take risks and pick out the four strongest people to form a team.
Colonel Li Dayong has never been to the grassroots level and has always worked in government agencies. He does not understand the mechanism of the competition, so it is completely normal for him to have such a judgment.
If you are looking for security and stability, for example, being in the top three is enough.
Colonel Li Dayong's moderate choice is indeed more prudent. As long as there are no major accidents, it is indeed more advantageous to be prepared for both scenarios.
If we analyze it from a normal person's perspective, we will also agree with Colonel Li Dayong's decision.
After all, it’s my first time participating in the competition, and it’s really too crazy to aim for the championship.
According to common sense.
For a country that was participating in an international competition for the first time and where modern special warfare was still in its infancy and still in the process of development, being able to place in the top three was already a great success.
After all, the participating countries this time are all European and American countries, and their modern special warfare started earlier than China.
The most important thing is that as Europeans, they have grown up here since childhood, they have natural geographical advantages and are more adapted to the climate here.
Therefore, Colonel Li Dayong had sufficient reasons to choose to maintain the third place and fight for the first place.
However, Chen Jun is a cheater. Whenever he appears, we cannot judge him by common sense. It would be too embarrassing to cheat and still only want to get third place.
Therefore, Chen Jun opposed Li Dayong's "moderation" without even thinking about it.
The captain and the group leader could not reach a consensus, and after talking for a long time, no one could convince the other. This was really a troublesome matter.
Finally, Chen Jun could only suggest: "Captain Li, since the two of us can't convince each other, let's stick to the old tradition. The team competition will be decided by the team. How about we all vote together to choose which path to take?" "Okay, let's do it this way."
Colonel Li Dayong thought for a few seconds and had no choice but to agree to Chen Jun's proposal.
"Comrades, you should all have heard of the plan Captain Li and I have proposed. Whether to defend the third place and fight for the first place, or to fight hard to win the championship, the choice is yours. Now let's vote by raising our hands."
Chen Jun looked around at all the team members present. He was still not completely confident. He hesitated for a moment and announced, "Raise your hands if you support Captain Li's plan."
……
The audience was silent.
Only one hand was raised, and the owner of that hand was Colonel Li Dayong.
Seeing this, Chen Jun raised his lips, raised his voice, and announced again: "Those who support my proposal, raise your hands now."
After Chen Jun finished speaking, he took the lead in raising his hand.
brush brush...
Nine hands were raised at once.
The result is obvious. Chen Jun won the support of all team members and obtained the final voting rights with a huge advantage of ten to one.
Li Dayong shook his head helplessly when he saw this scene. Chen Jun's influence was beyond his imagination.
"Well, it seems that everyone trusts you. Since this is a decision made by everyone, I naturally have to respect it. Captain Chen, let's do as you say."
Li Dayong is a free and easy person after all. If he loses, he will just admit defeat without any hesitation.
"Yes!"
Chen Jun won the victory, raised his hand to salute, and then began to arrange the team.
Considering that the competition venues are all in the primitive jungle and that one has to travel 150 kilometers within 78 hours, the test on physical fitness is the greatest.
After analyzing the situation of each team member, Chen Jun finally wrote two lists on paper.
China Team 1: Xu Sanduo, Chengcai, Wu Liuyi, Chen Jun.
China Team 2: Wu Zhe, Tuo Yonggang, Battelle, Qi Huan.
If this was an actual combat operation, or a commando assault, Chen Jun would definitely not bring Xu Sanduo and Wu Liuyi with him.
Instead, they will be replaced by Wu Zhe and Qi Huan!
Because actual combat situations are more complicated, more changing factors need to be considered, and various tactics need to be coordinated, experience and wisdom are more valuable.
Wu Zhe is proficient in blasting, computers, chemical engineering, etc., and has unparalleled advantages.
Qi Huan has participated in a large number of actual combat operations and is definitely second only to Chen Jun in terms of experience. He would also be more suitable than Xu Sanduo and Wu Liuyi.
However, this is a competition, and a competition where fighting is not allowed.
This gives physical fitness an absolute leading position in terms of priority selection weight.
Xu Sanduo and Wu Liuyi, who have better physical fitness, more energy, and are younger and more energetic, have become the best choices.
The remaining Chengcai's physical fitness is slightly worse than the other two, but he has an absolute advantage in reconnaissance.
Except for Chen Jun, no one in the entire Chinese team has outstanding skills in reconnaissance. He is the contestant who best fits the theme of the competition - reconnaissance and infiltration.
He has absolute advantages in skills and tactics, and has superb marksmanship.
There is no reason for Chen Jun not to bring Chengcai along!
The remaining people were assigned to the second team. They also have strong competitiveness, and the configuration of four of them is also very good.
In terms of IQ and strategy, there is the academic master Wu Zhe, in terms of all-round ability with firearms, there is Tuo Yonggang, in terms of experience, there is Qi Huan, and in terms of comprehensive personal qualities, there is the tough guy Bater.
The only thing they were inferior to the pair was physical endurance, and all four of them were lacking in this aspect.
It is hard to say whether we can last four days and three nights.
but.
As long as the four of them can squeeze out their potential, have a burst of energy in the competition, and survive seventy-eight hours, it is not impossible for them to get second place.
After reading Chen Jun's grouping, Colonel Li Dayong carefully compared it with the information and found that it was reasonable.
The little bit of resentment in her heart for losing the vote to Chen Jun completely disappeared at this moment.
As for the eight participating team members, they did not have any objections and everything was done in accordance with the instructions of the leader.
After all, I have long been accustomed to Chen Jun's command!
The only players whose expressions changed slightly were Coyote and Sirius, who were reserve members of the Wolf Fang Special Operations Brigade.
As reserve members, the two really wanted to participate in the competition and win honor for the Chinese army abroad.
But they didn't want to participate.
Because if the two of them participated in the competition, it would mean that one of the official team members must have had an accident, which is something they don't want to see.
It was this contradictory mood that seriously affected the emotions of the two people.
Chen Jun, with his keen and meticulous observation, noticed the change in their emotions. He walked over, patted their shoulders, and encouraged them, saying, "You two don't need to lose your mind. You are our strongest protection. With you, we can charge forward fearlessly.
If something unexpected happens, it will be up to you two to make up for it, so you have to stay in shape and be ready to join the game at any time."
According to the rules in the competition manual, each team is allowed to replace one player if force majeure dangers and accidents are discovered during the competition.
This is why the organizers require that each country bring two reserve players.
"Okay Captain, I'll adjust."
"Thank you for your concern, Captain. I am available to play at any time."
Ran Feng and Chen Xiaopan answered in a resounding voice, and were very grateful to Chen Jun for taking care of them.
The most important part of confirming the list was thus completed, and Colonel Li Dayong handed it over to the event organizer, and the work on the first day was almost over.
There was no welcoming banquet organized in the evening and the meal was served buffet style.
Because the Chinese team arrived relatively late, the teams from other countries had already finished eating. By the time the Chinese team came for dinner, there was almost no one in the restaurant.
The food in the restaurant tends to be European and American, mostly high in sweetness and calories.
The Chinese team including Chen Jun really couldn't get used to the food. Thinking that they needed to maintain good physical fitness before the game, they had to force themselves to find something barely edible.
For example, you can reheat a medium-rare steak to a medium-rare level and sprinkle some salt and pepper on it and eat it with bread.
It was almost eight o'clock when I returned to the dormitory after dinner. The organizer then sent someone to inform the Chinese team that they would organize the collection of supplies at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.
The twelve participating countries and twenty-four teams are Estonia, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, Finland, the United States and China.
All the supplies and equipment needed for the competition will be collected at the designated central playground of the base camp.
