Chapter 182: Review After the Exercise

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The end of the exercise also meant that the observation trip was basically over.

Most of the leaders and distinguished guests had gone to the reception hall in preparation to leave.

Wu Mo was, of course, not among them.

At this moment, Wu Mo followed Company Commander Zhang, Platoon Commander Ren Bin¹, and the two Arms Department commanders to the military selection square.

As soon as he arrived at the square, he saw 30 soldiers and related staff gathered there.

Many people were also heading to the exercise area, as well as the temporary camp, to deal with the supplies that had not been taken away. Once all that was taken care of, they would be able to welcome the next exercise in a few months.

Wu Mo saw that the members of the red and blue teams were still discussing the Invisibility Armor on their way.

However, when the two commanders and the company commander approached, they all obediently shut their mouths.

Looking at the soldiers who stood straight, the two commanders nodded.

“h.e.l.lo, everyone. I’m Zhang Jianfeng, the commander of the first company. I witnessed the combat exercise between your two teams earlier. The whole process was exhilirating, and the leaders of both teams did a good job too. Next, I’ll check on a few soldiers to hear what thoughts both teams may have. ”

Company Commander Zhang approached the 30 soldiers and spoke in a loud voice.

No one spoke, but it was obvious that many of them had looks of disbelief in their eyes.

There seemed to be quite a bit of murmuring.

“Well… From the blue team, Lin Zhe, Li Yi, Zhu Xuan, you three come up.

“From the red team, Shen Qing, Guan Mu, and Lin Ping. The three of you, come up and express your views and thoughts on this exercise.”

The six people whose names had been called stepped forward.

Company Commander Zhang walked to the side and gave them the floor.

Right then, the three from the red team were smiling proudly.

As for the three people from the blue team, their expressions were somewhat unsightly. There was also a trace of indignance at the same time.

“Let’s talk about your views on this exercise. Let’s start with the blue team,” Company Commander Zhang said immediately when he saw the six of them look at each other and not say a thing.

“Oh, thank you, Company Commander.”

Li Yi nodded and responded in front of the crowd.

“We can’t accept it. The exercise was unfair. Why did the red team get such good equipment?”

Li Yi’s words immediately triggered the remaining two individual’s anger, especially Lin Zhe’s. He had clearly gained the advantage with great difficulty, but a piece of clothing completely turned things around. No one could accept it.

“I’m not satisfied either. Those guys from the red team are basically cheating. What’s the point of winning with just a piece of clothing? If it weren’t for that thing, we would be the winners now.”

Lin Zhe’s words caused a thousand ripples that spurred the blue team members to speak up one after another.

“Right! It’s not fair at all.”

“If they’re capable, give one to each team. When the time comes, we will definitely win.”

Company Commander Zhang did not get angry when he heard the commotion. He just reached out slowly and brought his hand down slightly. The voices of the people before him instantly disappeared.

Zhu Xuan saw Company Commander Zhang looking at him, so he quickly expressed his opinion.

I have the same opinion as the captain and Lin Zhe regarding this exercise. I think it’s not a fair exercise. But I still want to know who invented the invisibility cloak.

After listening to the three of them, the head of research and development, Zheng Shaowei, nodded with a smile.

“Alright, I’ve taken note of your questions. Next, let’s let the red team speak.”

After Zheng Shaowei finished speaking, the three red team members who were standing at the side immediately grew interested.

Captain Shen Qing spoke first. “A loss is a loss. There’s no need to find an excuse. The ability to become invisible is powerful, but if it falls into the hands of someone who doesn’t know how to use it, it still won’t turn the tide.

“Besides, the power from equipment is still considered power. Your blue team has five five-star cultivators. Can’t you allow our red team to have a piece of trump card equipment?” the team captain said straightforwardly.

His blunt words caused the expressions of the three blue team members to change slightly.

After all, no one would look good if they were criticized in public.

At this point, Shen Qing paused for a moment and looked at the young man standing at the side.

“But that aside, Cannoneer Lin Zhe is quite powerful. When we were hiding at the bottom of the slope, we were worried that Cannoneer Lin Zhe would annihilate us with one shot.

“Alright, Commander Zheng, I’m done.”

“Okay, next.”

Commander Zheng waved his hand, signaling for the next person to speak.

The young man named Guan Mu scratched his head and said with a somewhat embarra.s.sed expression, “I feel that the blue team members are all really powerful. I was a sniper at a high vantage point, but I didn’t even see the enemy and got ‘killed’ in one shot.

“We won this time thanks to Captain Shen Qing’s strategy and the invisibility cloak’s power. I hope that there will be another opportunity to fight the blue team.”

Wu Mo was standing next to the commander. He listened carefully to the soldiers’ words, trying to find some useful opinions.

At this moment, it was Lin Ping’s turn to speak. The tall and thin Lin Ping was the one who followed Captain Shen Qing to the end.

He had been disdainful of the Invisibility Armor before, thinking that it was useless, but the cloak ended up changing his mind.

“I think this confrontation was very exciting. I haven’t been as nervous as I was today in a long time. If I’m given the opportunity, I’d also want to wear the invisibility cloak and fight.”

Soon, the six of them finished expressing their opinions, and the leaders chuckled.

“Comrade Wu Mo, since they haven’t returned to their teams yet, do you have any questions to ask?” Department Head Chu Yi promptly asked.

Wu Mo nodded immediately. After receiving permission, he walked forward and asked the six people, “I’d like to ask, if the red team didn’t have the Invisibility Armor’s help, would you be confident about winning?

“If the military develops a new weapon in the future, what functions would you like the weapon to come with?”

Wu Mo’s two questions were very suitable for the current situation because the main point of their discussion was the Invisibility Armor’s effect on the current battle situation.

Therefore, when Wu Mo threw out his questions, the blue team’s leader, Li Yi, replied instantly.

“I’m sure that without the invisibility cloak, the red team would have lost.”

When he said this, his expression was full of pride and certainty.

“Why? That’s because, at that point, both teams had almost exhausted their resources. Moreover, the blue team was at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, and its members were surrounded by us. They could only hide at the bottom of the slope and stall for time.

“As for why the invisibility cloak was so effective against the red team, I think it’s because, in the later stages, both sides had almost run out of ammunition, leaving only things like the ion cannons, which slowed our movements.”
