Chapter 121 Report! Still need to improve myself...! (4k) Su Chen shook his head and said, "I really don't feel anything, but I can understand your feelings." Shen Hang was shocked and said, "You are so cold-blooded. After all, those are lives! They were taken away from you like that, and you don't even feel anything?" "Then how do you think I should feel?" Su Chen looked at them and asked back. Seeing that everyone was silent, he said in a deep voice: "This is what we do. From the moment we want to join the special forces, we should prepare ourselves mentally. In the future, we will become the deprivers of other people's lives! Every skill we learn is to make it easier to reap the lives of the enemy. We will never sympathize with criminals, right?" In fact, everyone of them understood what Su Chen said, but they were human beings after all, with emotions and empathy. There was no doubt that this incident had a great impact on their three views! Come to think of it, although most soldiers know better than anyone that the essence of learning various military skills is to reap the lives of the enemy on the battlefield, there are some things that they will never be able to empathize with unless they experience them. For example, in On War, there is a summary of the nature of war: "War is a violent means of forcing the enemy to obey our will!" At first glance, it may sound like nothing, and some people may think this is a good statement, but from another perspective, aren’t they also perpetrators of violence from the other party’s perspective? ! "I know what you are saying is right, but Chen'er, I..." Shen Hang didn't know how to start for a moment. It's not just Shen Hang, everyone else is more or less the same. They certainly know that those bandits deserve to die, but the feeling of depriving others of their lives... is really unpleasant! Su Chen patted his shoulder and sighed, "I understand. But since we have chosen to do this job, we have to face some things. In fact, I have always believed in the principle of life first. Since we can easily deprive others of their lives, we should also understand the preciousness and fragility of life better than others! For the motherland and the people, we often say this. This is not a slogan, but a vow that we need to practice for a lifetime! So I think that instead of thinking about how many people we killed, you might as well think about how many people we saved. Using the rotten lives of those scumbags to protect our people, isn’t this something to be happy about?" “…………”Su Chen’s words caused his comrades to think.
Indeed, they were too focused on killing people today, and neglected the people they saved. After Su Chen's reminder, they suddenly realized: Yes! It turned out that they saved more than a dozen compatriots and civilians! ………… Seeing that they had listened to his words, Su Chen felt slightly relieved. In fact, psychological counseling was not his responsibility. Every soldier who participated in the war for the first time would receive special psychological counseling after the war to avoid post-war stress disorder trauma. However, seeing that his brothers were all depressed, Su Chen only said a few words of comfort. How effective would it be? How effective would it be? Su Chen couldn't say for sure. After all, psychotherapy is a very complex professional field, and what Su Chen said can only make them feel better temporarily. As for Shen Hang asking why he acted as if nothing had happened, Su Chen did not bring up the two actions in Yunhai and Myanmar. It's not about leaking secrets or anything, but Su Chen has always been annoyed by those people who, when others encounter something, would say things like, "That's nothing. I went through this and that, and it's not much worse than what you're experiencing." Like a big idiot, what you experience is just your own experience, so what others experience is not a big deal? It won't provide comfort, nor will it make others empathize with what you're going through. It's pure bullshit. At this time, Su Chen suddenly noticed that Shen Hang was looking at him strangely, and not only Shen Hang, but other comrades also looked at Su Chen in surprise. Su Chen was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?" "Chen'er, you can do it!" Shen Hang took a deep breath and said, "You can say such high-level words just after being promoted? You are better at political work than a major like me!" "Uh..." Su Chen smiled, "You mean I'm more suitable to be a political cadre?" ………… After such an actual combat mission, their vacation was completely ruined, and their planned trip had to be temporarily shelved, so they returned directly to the Northeast Tiger Special Operations Brigade’s base. As the first person in charge of this operation, Su Chen had to report the details of the operation to Gao Yi. So he reported the entire process of the operation, all the details, from beginning to end to Gao Yi. in the office. Gao Yi listened carefully to Su Chen's report and reviewed Su Chen's description of the rescue plan in his mind. "Well done! Better than I thought. The rescue plan was well formulated and the operation was excellent. I can give you 10 points out of 8!"
Su Chen, who was standing opposite Gao Yi, couldn't help but ask, "Captain Gao, where did the two points go?" "What's the matter?" Gao Yi said jokingly, "You have to get full marks every time, otherwise you won't be satisfied, right?" "No!" Su Chen shook his head and said seriously: "I want to know the shortcomings of our operation this time. This is the first actual combat of our Group B. Although the ending was a success, I think that since Captain Gao only gave our operation an 8, it means that we still have shortcomings that need to be improved! I am the leader of Group B, and I hope that every action of ours can be triumphant and complete the task perfectly!" Gao Yi's eyes flashed with approval when he heard this, "Well said! This is the awareness that a commander should have!" Gao Yi was really afraid that if he praised Su Chen a few words, Group B would lose their way and think that war was nothing more than that. Originally, he said that he would give Su Chen and his team an 8 for this operation, and he was ready to point out their problems later. However, he did not expect that Su Chen would be able to remain calm and unperturbed by his praise. He just wanted to know where their shortcomings were! Good job! He is worthy of being the commander he personally selected and trained! After a pause, Gao Yi asked, "Want to know the shortcomings and problems in your actions?" "Yes!" Su Chen nodded and said, "Please give me some advice, Captain Gao." "Okay, then I'll tell you!" Gao Yi thought about Su Chen's report and said slowly, "You just mentioned that when you were about to get close to the enemy, you looked at the map and suddenly realized that the bandits might have taken the villagers in the mountains as hostages?" Su Chen nodded and said, "Yes, although we have already guessed it before, we only confirmed it from the map!" As he spoke, Su Chen's face showed a look of sudden realization, "Captain Gao, you mean that we didn't do well in this area?" "To be exact, it's not good enough!" Gao Yi asked with a smile, "Do you know what preparations I would make before taking action if I were you?" Su Chen shook his head, "Captain Gao, you decide." "It's pretty much the same as what you can think of. But the only difference is that I will give priority to the hostages and have a comprehensive understanding of the combat terrain. In other words, the bandit leader Wang Biao is injured and his movements are slow. They need to hide in the mountains to avoid being hunted down. I will think ahead of you about water and food. Including the marking of the village on the map, I will also consider it as the primary factor." Having said this, Gao Yi paused for a moment, and then said: "You didn't think ahead enough in this operation. You were still thinking about fighting a war of annihilation first, and subconsciously ignored many details. You yourself said that you expected the enemy to take control of the hostages, but you still chose to hunt them down based on the traces left by the enemy, right?" Su Chen understood a little bit and nodded: "That's true." "That's the lack of experience!" Gao Yi smiled. "If you were experienced enough, when issuing combat deployment, the first step should be to go to this village first, confirm that the bandits did not control the hostages, and then search for the enemy along the surroundings. Fortunately, you reacted at the critical moment and made a very good rescue plan. Otherwise, think about it, if you were later, would the hostages be in more danger?" Su Chen suddenly realized, "Yes, I really don't have enough experience in this area, and I haven't considered it so comprehensively!" "So you see." Gao Yi smiled and said to Su Chen earnestly, "During the training period, your command ability was perfect. I gave you questions and simulated a war environment for you to answer, and you were able to hand in a perfect answer later. But that was only on paper after all. When you got to the real battlefield, you still overlooked some seemingly small details, right?" Su Chen nodded and said, "It's true..." "That's what people are like! No matter how smart they are, they can't avoid making mistakes! This is understandable." After a pause, Gao Yi changed the subject and continued, "But as a special operations commander, you can't make mistakes! Because you are not only responsible for yourself, but also for your comrades and hostages! So, you have to continue to improve yourself and strive not to make mistakes next time, and never make mistakes in the future!" "Yes! I understand!" Su Chen said immediately: "I still need to work hard." Gao Yi said it well! Being a special operations commander is different from other identities. It is not like everyday mistakes where you can just correct them next time. Every mistake on the battlefield may lead to sacrifice and bloodshed. This really reminded Su Chen. Even though he had scored full marks in the command assessment during the special operations training, and even though he had now been promoted to the rank of second lieutenant, he was still a rookie who had just joined the army for less than a year. In terms of experience and combat awareness, he was still far behind. He must not become complacent because of a small achievement! Gao Yi said: "Keep a humble and positive attitude towards learning, I believe you will become more and more outstanding!" Su Chen responded: "I will!" "To sum up, this is why I deducted two points from your Group B for this action!"
Gao Yi smiled and said, "But I still have to praise you. To be honest, your performance in this operation exceeded my expectations. I guessed that you would complete the mission. But I didn't expect you to complete the mission so well, with zero casualties among hostages and team members. In this battle, you played like our tigers! You deserve praise! You may not know that Director Zhao from the province personally called our brigade commander and highly praised you, saying that you are the most professional special forces members he has ever seen! The brigade commander was very happy and said that he would reward you for your meritorious service!" Su Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this, "That's great! This should be considered the first achievement of our Group B, right?" "Really?" Gao Yi smiled, "You guys really make me proud!" What Su Chen didn't know was that Brigade Commander Zhao Jinsong originally intended to send out Group A of the Tigers for this operation, with Gao Yi leading the team personally. After all, Group B had just passed the selection and were a group of newcomers, so it was inevitable that there would be some concerns about using them. But Gao Yi said that Su Chen and others were the best special forces soldiers they had ever trained, and he believed in them! Therefore, Su Chen was fully responsible for this operation. In Gao Yi's words: They are not a group of newly hatched chicks and cannot be protected all the time. Now it seems that Gao Yi was right about the team. Well done to the Tigers Group B!!! ………… Su Chen was naturally unaware of all this. After leaving Gao Yi's office, since his comrades had already been arranged to receive psychological counseling, Su Chen didn't know what to do. He simply changed into his training uniform and ran to the training ground to practice physical fitness! In front of the horizontal bar, Su Chen was holding the bar with both arms, straightening his body, and doing pull-ups one by one. With his current physical condition, pull-ups are not a problem. While doing strength training, Su Chen reviewed the rescue operation in Wolong Mountain in his mind. He took Gao Yi's words to heart, but Su Chen still had some shortcomings in some aspects. Su Chen reviewed the situation in his mind, simulated other plans, and made repeated corrections to see if the rescue plan he had formulated at the time was the optimal solution. After a careful review, Su Chen indeed found some shortcomings, and he felt that he had understood a lot more. Pull-ups, parallel bar curls, 400-meter hurdles, cross-country... After doing all kinds of physical exercises, Su Chen, who was sweating profusely, felt out of breath and his heart rate increased. He stopped training, went back to the dormitory to take a shower, then sat in front of the computer and summoned the system panel with his mind. In this mission, he also obtained a random top-quality treasure chest. Su Chen was going to open it and see what good things could be found inside. [Player: Su Chen 【talent】 Vision: Hearing: 15 Smell: 15 Taste: 10 Stamina: Perception: [Currently available talent points: 0.] [Temporary storage box: 1 top-quality treasure box] "Would the player like to open the treasure chest?!" ...
