Chapter 1006: Calm Before The Storm
Principal Chen felt rest assured when he noticed that her gaze was clear without a hint of negligence.
He patted her shoulder and said in a meaningful tone, “Good child. A human must always remember why they started doing something. They mustn’t lose their goal either. You must keep your pureness as a child and chase after your dream bravely without fear so that you can reach your goal. That is what I called real life. That is how your life can be magnificent.”
“Since you know what you’re doing, I will not say much. Let’s talk about our training. A few days ago, I watched a military exercise and it gave me a huge shock. The current military unit is not like the military unit I used to be in anymore. The arrangements of the snipers and the way they used them are different too.”
After changing from a personal topic to the topic of training, the expressions on the old and young people’s faces changed similarly. Their gaze turned cold and they were serious as they talked about the content of their training.
“For instance, in the mechanized infantry unit, every division will be assigned a sniper squad. The assignment will be directed by the commander based on the mission, enemy, topography, time, and other detailed factors.”
“The sniper squad is a combat unit. It’s made up of two three-sniper teams and a leader. This is different from the past where there were only one sniper and an observer. Sometimes, we don’t even have an observer.”
“From this point alone, we can see that there is a huge change in our military! In the past, my training was always focused on single-person combat. It seems like I have to teach you how to work in a team in the future. In the military unit, you are not alone. You belong in a team. The soldiers of a team can work together and work alone when the time comes.”
Principal Chen told Ye Jian everything he saw during these few days of military exercises. This will allow Ye Jian to have a better understanding of what snipers do in the military unit.
“I also saw snipers using all-terrain vehicles. These vehicles can carry weapon systems, fuel, water, food, and communication devices. From this, we can see that the military isn’t just looking for a sniper that can snipe. They need someone who can provide more important information for the units at the rear.
Ye Jian didn’t know about this. Through Principal Chen’s analysis, she started to form a concept. This was the day when Ye Jian stopped thinking that she was a sniper who could just go for combat alone with a sniper rifle in her hand. She started to have the idea of ‘informative’ sniping.
From one military exercise, Principal Chen analyzed that their country’s military was starting to move towards ‘informative’ combat methods. It wasn’t like what all the international news said. They weren’t an underdeveloped country that didn’t even have their own fighter planes!
The huge nation has risen!
From the moment she returned to school until the moment she prepared to start her mid-term exam, Ye Jian attended lessons in the morning and revised at night. Within one night, she finished revising all the new knowledge she learned within these eleven days. She had already done her revision but she went through everything again so that she could strengthen her foundation.
The atmosphere in the class was extremely nerve-racking. In order to get the direct admission slot, everyone put their heart and soul into this mid-term exam.
The atmosphere of the grade twelve classes was even more anxious. They will be participating in the senior high school entrance exam next year. If they could get the direct admission slot, they wouldn’t have so much pressure. Because of the anxious revision of the grade eleven and grade twelve’s classes, the school became quiet three days before the mid-term exam.
They started their exam on the 3rd. An Jiaxin’s eyelid started jumping uncontrollably. Before she started the exam, she told Ye Jian, “I think that my grades this time will be bad… My left eyelid keeps jumping.”
