Chapter 739

"As for the 'safety' issue, squad and platoon leaders need to pay attention."

"But we absolutely cannot sacrifice training quality to ensure safety."

"Training must be serious and earnest, with the main goal of improving combat effectiveness."

"Example: The entire battalion has a total of nine 99A main battle tanks."

"Every month, except for 'symbolic' movements, the fuel tanks are empty."

"If there were a real need, may I ask how long it would take for the whole battalion to move out?"

"Being able to move out and win a battle isn't even a slogan in the Fierce Tiger Regiment!"

"I don't care about other battalions in the future."

"The First Battalion must be ready for battle, maintaining a combat state where we can mobilize urgently at any time."

"One last sentence: as long as no one dies, any situation is acceptable."

Once these words were spoken, the entire battalion's officers and soldiers couldn't help but feel their hearts skip a beat.

Listen to that: as long as no one dies, it's fine.

This absolutely signaled that the new Battalion Commander was a super ruthless person!

As for slacking off, who the hell would dare?

Lin Feng had just laid out the ugly truth beforehand; if anyone dared, he'd ask them to leave the First Battalion's ranks...

"Report," the Second Company Commander said sheepishly: "Battalion Commander, is it necessary for the losing side to do a ten-kilometer armed cross-country run?"

Lin Feng replied: "A small punishment helps improve memory."

"And physical fitness is the foundation of all military training. Next."

"Report," Second Company Instructor Cao Xinming stepped out from the crowd.

He saluted and then stared: "Battalion Commander, in peacetime, steady improvement is the main theme."

"And frequent confrontations, besides increasing various burdens, don't have much real meaning, right?"

Hearing this, Lin Feng couldn't help but narrow his eyes and sneer repeatedly.

"Cao Xinming, how long have you been serving in field units?"

"Reporting to the Battalion Commander, one year and two months."

At this moment, Lin Feng sneered and shook his head: "The time isn't long, but it's not short either."

"The key is that your thinking hasn't shifted yet."

"The four words 'peacetime' were learned in a school classroom, right?"

"Hmm, I think you should serve in logistics; field units aren't suitable for you."

"Superficial, pedantic, thinking is seriously lagging behind, unable to keep up with the pace of the times."

While speaking, Lin Feng scanned everyone.

"Many of you must have the same thoughts."

"Taking advantage of today, I'll finish saying everything at once."

"Because from now on, I don't want to hear similar voices again."

As he spoke, Lin Feng turned to look at the clerk beside him: "Go, get me a megaphone, quickly."

Following the order, Wang Shuhe left quickly and returned just as fast.

Lin Feng took the megaphone and turned it to the maximum volume.

"Attention, everyone, listen carefully; I'll only say this once."

"For soldiers, there are only two states."

"Fighting and preparing to fight; there is no other."

"For soldiers, from ancient times to the present, there has been no such thing as 'peace'."

"Equipment is updated, personnel are replaced, but training remains the same."

"If it weren't for fighting and preparing to fight,"

"why would the country increase military spending year by year?"

"Conversely: if it's all peaceful, what do we need you and me for?"

"Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use them for a thousand days."

"Without a million elite troops, what stability and security would the common people have?"

"If war breaks out tomorrow,"

"can the First Battalion move out to participate? Answer me!"

"Yes, yes, yes, the Fierce Tiger marches out, invincible..."

Hearing the thunderous, unanimous answer, Lin Feng almost laughed until he cried.

It was funny, ridiculous, and even shameless!

"First Company, First Platoon Leader Pang Xin, step out."

Staring at Pang Xin, who had stepped out, Lin Feng said: "You were the one shouting the fiercest and loudest just now."

"Then I ask you, why is the Fierce Tiger Regiment invincible?"

"Report, by relying on tenacious will, I have the confidence to defeat the enemy!"

"Ridiculous," Lin Feng said with disdain: "That's also a superficial and foolish perception."

"In wartime, our army never lacked will and confidence."

"In the end, the will was shattered, and confidence disappeared."

"The result was: most of the territory was lost, and the people suffered."

"You might say, now is not like before."

"Fine, then let's talk about the present."

·· ···Seeking flowers··· ····

"It's true that the Fierce Tiger Regiment is a heroic and meritorious unit."

"But how many years has it been since we fought a war?"

"In other words: how many years has it been since we seriously participated in a military exercise?"

"Taking you, Pang Xin, as an example, do you know how modern warfare should be fought?"

"Can you even imagine the terrifying scene of ten thousand cannons firing at once?"

"Peace-time pampered soldiers, besides shouting with your mouths, what else is left?"

"Asking a more ridiculous question: how many times have you thrown a real hand grenade?"

At this moment, Pang Xin felt embarrassed and humiliated.

Without a doubt, everything Lin Feng said was correct, and very practical.

Of course, he wasn't the only one with a flushed face.

Because the Fierce Tiger Regiment, being part of the 11th Group Army, had been too comfortable for too long.

So long that they had forgotten the smell of gunpowder.

But this was holistic, and also related to guarding the security of the capital.

It was the political center, and under the Emperor's feet.

The military didn't dare to make big moves, waving guns and sticks in large-scale drills.

Even the occasional one or two times, it was all thunder and no rain!

No more talk; Lin Feng waved his hand, signaled for him to return to the ranks, and continued.

"Lastly, two points: First, for soldiers, there is no peace; war has never stopped."

"Second, defending the country doesn't just rely on will and confidence."

"It requires exquisite tactical skills, supplemented by sharp weapons and equipment."

"Anything else is just empty talk and a mirage!"

After a pause, Lin Feng said coldly: "I won't say more, and I won't give any extra explanations."

"Next, I'll announce a few orders."

"First, after dismissal, each unit will collect the relevant training ammunition."

"Second, company, platoon, and squad-level cadres will launch in-depth safety education."

"Plan: Normal training injuries, whether light or heavy, are acceptable."

"If it's intentional or due to carelessness, then it will be severely punished."
