Chapter 198: Treat With Caution
After the combat meeting, Chang Ning and the others collected their weapons and ammunition and entered the forest overnight.
At this point, the military region’s annual confrontation exercise officially began.
In the early morning, black sedans streamed into a tourist resort, all with civilian license plates at a glance.
Those unaware of the situation would think it was some large corporation holding a year-end meeting here.
As soon as the sedans stopped in front of a European-style building, a bodyguard dressed in black clothes stepped forward. They opened the car doors and escorted the people inside into the building.
Standing at the highest point of the resort and looking down, every key traffic route and blind spot in the resort was guarded by three to five bodyguards wearing sunglasses and dressed in suits.
They had strong, muscular builds, expressionless faces, and were well-trained. Their waists bulged noticeably, undoubtedly carrying weapons.
Holding a meeting in such a heavily guarded place indicated that the meeting’s content and attendees were no simple matter.
In the meeting room, middle-aged men in suits were either sitting or standing, gathered in small groups chatting.
At this moment, a bodyguard entered from the entrance and shouted loudly: “Stand up!”
Hearing the bodyguard’s voice, the chatting middle-aged men instinctively stood straight.
After the bodyguard shouted, an elderly man with graying temples strode to the front of the table like a dragon or tiger. Looking at the group dressed like businessmen, he smiled wryly: “I’m not wearing my military uniform today, so no salute. Everyone, sit down! Is everyone here? Let’s start the meeting now.”
Once the elderly man sat down, a man wearing glasses stood behind him.
Who else could it be but Black Tiger Detachment Captain Lei Keming?
After the officers sat down, the bodyguard instantly drew the curtains and turned to exit the meeting room, his movements crisp and swift.
The host of this meeting was the Blue Team commander, Commander Wen.
At this time, Commander Wen had not yet transferred to the public security system.
Commander Wen looked at the officers of various levels with sharp eyes: “Now, the first combat meeting of the Spring Thunder Exercise Blue Team Headquarters is officially in session!”
His gaze was piercing, but his expression was bitter. “Do you know why I chose to hold the meeting here?”
Without waiting for anyone to answer, he continued: “Because Wolf Fang Special Forces Detachment is everywhere! They are the Red Team, specialized in gathering intelligence on the Blue Team.
I know this unit very well. I only resorted to this sneaky spy meeting because they pushed me to the brink, sparing no expense!”
At this point, Commander Wen lost his temper and slapped the table, feeling frustrated.
Of course, it was unclear how much of it was genuine and how much was acted.
However, seeing the middle-aged officers seated below all looking ashamed, Commander Wen had achieved his goal.
“Let me introduce everyone. This is the captain of the special forces detachment I borrowed from the northwest war zone. I plan to use them to counter Wolf Fang.
Come and introduce yourself to everyone.”
Seeing Commander Wen introduce him so solemnly, the officers looked up and sized up the man standing behind Commander Wen.
The middle-aged man stepped forward and looked at the officers before him: “I am the captain of the Black Tiger Special Forces from the northwest war zone, Army Colonel Lei Keming.”
After Lei Keming finished his self-introduction, the meeting officially began.
The army commanders and division commanders from the participating group armies took turns reporting their advance plans in front of the map. Commander Wen listened carefully.
Lei Keming sat beside Commander Wen, impassive.
Most of the time, he wouldn’t speak up with any opinions. Because this data had little to do with him. If needed, he would apply to the Blue Team Command.
Right now, he only wanted to clash with He Da Dui.
“He Da Dui, it’s been five or six years since we last met. I wonder how your Lone Wolf compares to my Cobra?
Interesting!
Interesting!”
Once the officers finished reporting, Commander Wen invited Lei Keming to report his operation plan to everyone.
Upon receiving Commander Wen’s invitation, Lei Keming didn’t explain his plan directly but teased: “Everyone will know my plan soon. For now, I think the Blue Team should pay attention to one person.”
“One person?”
The colonels seated below showed puzzled expressions. They were now discussing combat plans involving tens of thousands of people, and suddenly someone told them the Blue Team should pay attention to one person.
It was simply absurd!
This was no joke!
“Colonel Lei, please explain in detail.”
Commander Wen’s mind was also full of doubts, but he believed an Army colonel wouldn’t make baseless claims.
If he said something puzzling, there must be a reason.
“I won’t introduce this person. I believe everyone knows him as well as I do. After all, he’s from the Southeast Military Region.”
Lei Keming pointed at the photograph projected on the screen and said.
Seeing that young face, the officers smiled.
Lei Keming was right; the person in the photograph was indeed from their Southeast Military Region, and his name had recently appeared frequently in some important meetings.
“Colonel Lei, no need to make such a big fuss.
In large-scale wars, an individual’s influence is very small.” Someone raised an objection.
“But sometimes, an individual can play an unimaginable role.
Just like this person on the screen, Chang Ning.
A year ago, Chang Ning had just been assigned from the new recruit company to the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company when a military exercise happened. As a result, he went missing behind enemy lines and caused huge losses to the enemy.
And at that time, Wolf Fang personnel were encircling and intercepting him from behind. I won’t say more about the outcome; those present should know.
Note that Chang Ning was just a new recruit who had enlisted at the time. Now he has undergone Wolf Fang’s training.
Letting this guy loose on our turf will make him even more destructive than before. Plus, he definitely has an elite combat squad with him now.
Allowing such a team to infiltrate would have unimaginable consequences.” Lei Keming said slowly.
Although his remarks emphasized Chang Ning’s great destructive power, Lei Keming’s face showed no particular worry.
Clearly, he already had a plan in mind.
With Lei Keming’s reminder, everyone recalled Chang Ning’s past glorious battle record.
Just as Lei Keming said, letting Chang Ning in would definitely make them suffer greatly.
“This is why I called in your Black Tiger Special Forces. I want to use special forces to counter special forces.
Don’t tell me you, Lei Keming, can’t handle a little Army second lieutenant.” Commander Wen said to Lei Keming.
Commander Wen’s words had backed Lei Keming into a corner. At this moment, he couldn’t say he couldn’t beat Wolf Fang.
Besides, it was still uncertain who would come out on top.
That said, he really liked daring and action-oriented people like Chang Ning.
If not for his short time in service, how could he be just a second lieutenant?
He Da Dui, you’ve got another good prospect!
Thinking that Chang Ning was Wolf Fang’s soldier, even Lei Keming’s steady temperament began to show jealousy.
“I, Lei Keming, can’t guarantee taking down Wolf Fang for sure, but I can help Commander Wen gain an advantage on the battlefield.”
He knew Wolf Fang well; it was an extremely tough nut to crack, so he wouldn’t make any guarantees.
Anything could happen on the battlefield, with too many variables.
All Lei Keming could do was give his full effort!
