Chapter 348 The boy who slays the dragon finally becomes a dragon!
Chen Jun spoke a lot, from practical approaches to playing styles. Every word he said made sense and there was nothing wrong with it.
This is the unique advantage of knowing Russian. If someone else were to translate it, the meaning would definitely be very different.
Russian Major General Andrei is a typical example. He wanted to refute and shirk Chen Jun's words, but after searching his head for a long time, he couldn't find a suitable entry point.
Since there is no way to refute the incident itself, there is naturally no way to continue to shirk responsibility.
This made General Andre very uncomfortable.
Now that the exercise plan has been sent to the headquarters, General Andre knows better than anyone how complicated it will be to change the exercise plan.
General Andre was really reluctant to get himself into trouble for no reason.
So General Andre had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "It's not that I don't want to help you, but even if I help you apply to the higher-ups, your proposal will definitely not be approved.
The troops participating in the exercise need to be dispatched in a unified manner. This is the highest instruction from above, and even the headquarters must follow the order."
Andre had no way to shirk responsibility, so he pushed his superior to serve as a shield.
It is a common means of rejection.
Chen Jun was very good at dealing with this kind of trick, and said confidently: "Just report our plan to your superiors, I believe your superiors will agree.
On the contrary, if you don’t report it to your superiors, and they find out that you didn’t use a better plan, I dare say that your superiors will definitely hold you accountable, and you will be in trouble.”
"Ok?"
Chen Jun's confidence was so strong that Andre couldn't understand it. He frowned and couldn't help muttering in his heart: Will the higher-ups really agree to it?
The people below him couldn't guess what the leader was thinking, and Andre really didn't dare to take the risk.
Seeing that Andre had been intimidated by him, Chen Jun immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "The latest plan we applied for does not change your overall combat layout, but only requires changes to the operations of our Chinese troops.
You can completely change your thinking and position our troops as foreign military support forces. Joining the exercise in this capacity will be more meaningful to both our two countries' militaries.
To be honest, our troops came here from afar with the same attitude of learning, hoping to use this exercise to strengthen the troops and make them more mature.
If I were just acting out a play with you, and it was an exercise that had no sense of existence.
We are definitely not satisfied with the results of the exercise, and the top leaders will definitely hold a new round of meetings. By then, not to mention you, even your superiors will probably not be able to report to you."
Chen Jun’s final trump card was intimidation, which brought the situation to the level of countries.
General Andre was really scared.
As a middle-level officer in the Russian military, he knew the value behind this exercise. If the exercise was messed up, the consequences would be serious.
The more Andre thought about it, the more scared he became.
I completely fell into Chen Jun's routine and had to follow Chen Jun's rhythm.
"Okay, I'll help you this time."
Andre, who was undecided for a moment, had to accept the application of the Chinese troops and send the new plan proposed by China to the headquarters of the directorate.
Having accomplished their purpose, Chen Jun and Fang Zijian left the branch with satisfaction.
“Will they really agree to this?”
On the way back with Fang Zijian, Fang Zijian was still very nervous.
After all, the plan they requested to be modified this time is very different from the original plan, especially the positioning of the Chinese troops has been completely changed.
They originally became troops under the Red Army and could only accept the unified dispatch of the Red Army commander.
There is basically no freedom and you can only be an NPC.
The 7th Steel Battalion was now affiliated with the Red Army, but it did not accept any dispatch orders from the Red Army.
As a mobile combat force, it can independently decide all combat plans, assist the attacking Red Army troops, and defeat the Blue Army to win.
It was just like what Chen Jun said at the end, which made the Seventh Battalion of Steel return to its original identity.
Foreign military support troops from China!
Foreign troops came to help the Russian army fight, and although both sides were indeed on the same Red Army camp, they would certainly not be under the command of the Russian army.
Only with this identity can the 7th Steel Battalion completely throw off its shackles and exert its maximum combat effectiveness during the exercise.
however.
This plan is perfect for China, but the opposite for Russia.
Allowing Chinese troops to move freely will make the exercise uncontrollable, and the already planned exercises are likely to go wrong.
Moreover, the Chinese troops were not under the control of the Red Army, which would cause great dissatisfaction among the Red Army commanders.
No one wants to have a disobedient subordinate.
Fang Zijian has thought this through thoroughly. As an officer who grew up in an agency, he understands the ins and outs of this better. It is precisely because he understands this that he is worried.
Chen Jun and Fang Zijian were just the opposite. They didn't feel any pressure at all.
Just full of confidence.
Chen Jun believed that as long as the plan was submitted, even if the Russian military leaders did not want to agree, they would eventually have to agree when they thought about what they wanted.
Because the Russian military top brass wanted to learn from the 7th Steel Battalion, the 7th Steel Battalion had greater freedom of operation and authority, which better met the needs of the Russian military top brass.
Just focus on this.
The Russian army had no reason to refuse.
As for the Russian army's desire to steal our skills, Chen Jun had no worries at all.
JW is the highest military institution of our army. Outsiders do not need to doubt their intelligence and means. From the moment they were willing to send out the 7th Steel Battalion, it was enough to prove that they must have anticipated and known the Russian army's intentions long ago.
Since the Russian army's intentions were known, the higher-ups sent the 7th Steel Battalion to participate.
There must be a reason for doing this.
As a small deputy battalion commander, Chen Jun didn't want to guess the existence of the top of the pyramid, so he didn't care at all, let alone think about reporting the matter.
There was only one thing he had to do—
That is to conduct this exercise well, to show the indomitable spirit of Chinese soldiers, and the military soul and strength of the 7th Steel Battalion.
In layman's terms.
I just want to beat the Russians up and vent the anger that has been pent up in my heart for a long time.
The most important issue of modifying the exercise plan has been resolved. There are still three days before the formal exercise, and what follows is a variety of miscellaneous trivial matters.
For example, negotiating combat plans with the Red Army.
Although the new plan is for both sides to fight each other, there are still many things that need to be done, such as planning their respective camps, confirming the troop deployment and personnel of both sides, etc.
For example, the collection and distribution of logistical supplies must be coordinated between the two parties.
For example, in the few days before the exercise began, the Russian army had to take care of the daily eating, drinking, defecating and urinating issues of nearly a thousand people in the 7th Steel Battalion.
Although the 7th Steel Battalion was well prepared before they arrived, those were emergency supplies and would not be moved unless it was absolutely necessary.
Dealing with all the big and small things takes a lot of time, and before you know it, a day has passed.
The 7th Steel Battalion was very busy throughout the day, and the senior management of the Russian Army's directing department was also very busy.
Busy in meetings!
The exercise was to begin in two days, and the Chinese troops proposed to modify the exercise plan at this time, which was indeed beyond the expectations of the Russian military top brass.
In particular, the new proposal put forward by China can be said to have completely overturned the original plan.
This is indeed a big deal for the Russian military top brass.
Not surprisingly, it split into two factions.
However, after their heated discussions, they finally agreed to China's new proposal, but only made a few symbolic changes for the sake of face.
The reason why the Russian army agreed to the new plan was exactly what Chen Jun expected.
What happened in Kuwait really woke up the whole world. The Chinese military began military reforms, and the Russian military did the same.
The Russian military is also carrying out a modern military reform, and synthesis is one of their reform directions.
The reason for inviting China to participate in this military exercise is, as Chen Jun guessed, to witness the vigorous development of China's military reform and to achieve remarkable results in a very short period of time.
The Russian Army is jealous!
Want to "learn from others"!
But for the sake of face, they cannot be so blatant, so they limit the invitation to only one battalion to participate in this large-scale strategic exercise of the Russian army.
It's just a battalion of troops coming here for an exercise, so even if the outside world has something to say, it can be easily covered up.
After all, the scale is so small that the influence is not worth mentioning.
Now that China has taken the initiative to propose modifying the exercise plan, the Russian military top brass are very happy about this because they can learn more technology and experience.
However, they are also worried that the Chinese military will be unrestrained and this well-scripted "play" will end in an uncontrollable outcome.
However, a large number of senior officials in the Russian army have very traditional and rigid thinking. They only seek stability and nothing goes wrong when doing things.
It's simply called muddling through.
It was this group of traditional and old-fashioned Russian military senior officials who strongly opposed the new proposal submitted by China.
However, in the era of technological explosion, the military cannot be stable at all. Stability will only die in silence. Only by rushing forward can there be a future.
Fortunately, there is this new force among the Russian military's top brass. They know that only by breaking the stability can they keep pace with the times.
In addition, all the senior Russian military officials unanimously agreed that this was a large-scale exercise involving tens of thousands of people, with six Russian military regiments and more than a dozen battalions participating.
There was only one battalion from the East participating in the exercise, even if it was given absolute freedom to fight.
There's nowhere to turn this day!
Could it be that just because he is a reinforced battalion and has the authority to fight freely, he can spread his wings and fly into the sky and defeat a reinforced regiment?
This is impossible.
The Russian military leaders would never believe it!
You can get more value from it, and what you need to pay is within an acceptable range.
Then this wave can do it.
So after some heated discussions, the meeting finally voted that the minority should obey the majority, and the new proposal submitted by China was passed by the meeting.
The third day in Russia.
That is June 4th.
Chen Jun and Fang Zijian, on behalf of the entire 7th Steel Battalion, formally submitted the new exercise plan to the Russian side, which was approved and officially conveyed to the 7th Steel Battalion.
"Hey, now we have something fun."
All the restraints on his body were removed, and Chen Jun couldn't help but grinning.
Those bright white teeth.
But at this moment, there was a hint of eerieness in his expression.
Gao Cheng, Man Guangzhi and other officers of the 7th Steel Battalion were also all smiles after receiving the news, and their impatience was almost turning into flames.
It is in this kind of impatient and heated atmosphere that the day seems to pass especially quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was March 4th.
After finishing breakfast at 6 o'clock in the morning, the exercise entered the final preparations before starting.
"All units, proceed to the exercise area, set off!"
Following an order from the directorate, all troops from both the red and blue sides set out from the training ground.
Under the guidance of the staff sent by the director's office, each department went to their respective exercise areas and took their positions.
A large force of more than 10,000 people was mobilized collectively, and the scene looked really shocking, which was not something that could be portrayed in movies or TV series at all.
The 506th Steel Battalion was assigned to the area, which will serve as their exercise base.
Under the guidance of the staff of the director's office, after more than an hour's march, we arrived at the exercise site a little after 8 o'clock.
It was a basin between two mountains, plus several nearby hills, all of which were allocated to the 7th Steel Battalion.
When they set out to arrive at this place, the 7th Steel Battalion received a topographic map of the exercise area, on which they could see the scope of the entire exercise zone.
Each unit can only move within the exercise scope and is not allowed to exceed the area specified on the topographic map.
After what they saw and heard along the way, Chen Jun and the soldiers of the 7th Steel Battalion realized that the exercise area they were in was a mountainous area.
When Chen Jun saw this mountain training ground, he thought of the mountain training he had with Lao A.
At that time, the 702nd Regiment was a heavy armored regiment. The fully mechanized force was very restricted in the mountains. If it were not for Chen Jun, it would definitely have lost badly.
The Russian army is now conducting an exercise in a mountainous jungle terrain.
For the fully mechanized 7th Steel Battalion, this will indeed have a certain impact.
But at this moment, the 7th Steel Battalion, which has "grown up", is no longer the Wuxia A'mon of the past. Mountain warfare is indeed a bit difficult for them, but the difficulty is completely controllable.
In fact, by making good use of the characteristics of the mountainous terrain, the tactics of the 7th Steel Battalion could become even more secretive and varied.
To know.
The most abnormal thing about the 7th Steel Battalion is that, as a combined battalion, it actually has a special operations force, and even a special reconnaissance company that has undergone special operations training.
When a platoon of standard special forces leads a whole company of "semi-special forces" in this mountainous terrain, what a terrifying existence it is.
With the natural cover of mountain jungles, wouldn't the Russian army be completely infiltrated?
When Chen Jun thought of this, he couldn't help laughing.
When Gao Cheng saw the jungle-covered highlands, he also smiled happily, because seeing this place reminded him of the past.
"Old Chen, do you think this Russian army unit is similar to the 702nd Battalion before the reform? And does our 7th Steel Battalion look like the old A of the Blue Army back then? If we also play like the old A, wouldn't it be very interesting? Hehe."
Gao Cheng seemed to be unable to bear it any longer as he spoke, and a wicked light flashed in his eyes. (End of this chapter)
