2862: Unprecedented Problem

Unprecedented Problem

It had been too long. If it wasn't for this old photo, Major General Yang would have forgotten that he had met Martyr Sun Xueqing. However, now that he tried to recall what had happened more than 20 years ago, Major General Yang couldn't remember the details clearly.1

"My retention isn't as good as Ye Jian's. Commander-in-chief, I really can't remember how many times this Senior Colonel Li has come to the port." Major General Yang put down the old photo and sighed. "It was only half a year. I was still adapting to it the first few months. When I finally got used to it, I left with the transfer order. My working time at this port was the shortest. I don't have any impression of some people and things.

"It's the same with this Senior Colonel Li. I really can't remember if I've seen him before. I might have, but at that time, I was a primary-level military officer. I didn't have any impression of Senior Colonel Li… I'm very sorry. I only saw him once. Other than that, I don't have any other impression."

It was enough that he saw him once.

Commander Xia kept the photo and gestured for Major General Yang to sit down. He walked out of his desk and sat on the guest sofa. "Don't tell anyone about this."

"Yes." Major General Yang nodded. Now that he was in his position, he knew what he should and shouldn't say.

The commander-in-chief took up the matter personally and asked about an old photo. His facial expression was also exceptionally solemn. From this, one could tell the importance of this matter. It mustn't be spread.

After talking about some work matters, Commander Xia asked Major General Yang to leave. From the start to the end, Commander Xia didn't ask about Xia Jinyuan's situation. He seemed to be at ease with the special forces soldiers who went overseas for the competition.

Major General Yang didn't leave immediately. Instead, he took the initiative to bring up the special forces soldiers who were participating in Eka Assault. "From the moment they got off the plane, the competition had already started. I contacted Q King for the last time, and he said that they only had one map in their hands. They have to use this map to go to the primeval forest in the east 300 kilometers away. Commander-in-chief, our special forces soldiers have encountered an unprecedented problem. I'm afraid the situation isn't optimistic."

"It's a good thing if they really encounter unprecedented problems. They haven't joined any international competitions in the past. The most important thing for them now is to study hard. They can't be stuck in a rut and keep to themselves.

"The bigger the problem, the more valuable this opportunity will be. They can take this opportunity to surpass themselves. If the problems they faced were ordinary, this competition would be no different from a domestic competition. In that case, there'd be no need to join."

Commander Xia wanted to see the special forces soldiers sent by the country encounter setbacks. If they wanted to improve their combat ability and reach international standards, they had to interact more with the outside world and learn more from other people's strengths. They had to deeply understand their shortcomings.

"Although the Xueyu unit is the elite military unit of our country's special forces, and we've always thought that they're the best special forces in our country, we don't really know how good and powerful the Xueyu unit is. Let them compete with the elites from 11 countries in willpower, stamina, tactics, and strategy. Only then will we have a more accurate answer."

The competition had already begun. The process and outcome would be known five days and four nights later. Now, they just needed to wait for the news in the country.

At 2.30 pm in the afternoon, the special forces soldiers from 12 countries completed an inventory of all their equipment. They focused on infiltrating the enemy's rear from afar, kicking off this five-day and four-night competition.
