Chapter 1343 A Mixed Bag of Opportunities

"Greetings, Commander!"

Qin Feng entered Ge Hongbin's office and saluted.

But then they discovered that Wei Shanhe was also there, and his expression was just as unpleasant as Ge Hongbin's.

This made Qin Feng a little curious: had the army encountered some new trouble?

"sit down."

Ge Hongbin told Qin Feng to make himself at home, and his secretary poured him a glass of water and left.

In the past, Ge Hongbin would always make coffee when he came here, and very rarely tea.

This is probably the first time I've ever drunk plain water directly.

Is the problem that serious?

They've stopped even making coffee and tea.

Ge Hongbin first inquired about Qin Feng's health: "How's the recovery going? Are you alright?"

Qin Feng stretched his arms: "Everything is fine, and the parts work as usual."

Ge Hongbin nodded: "In the future, we still need to be careful when trying these dangerous training programs. After all, we are the army, not the air force, and this is not our forte."

"If it weren't hanging from a tree, but from a high-voltage power line, that would be the most serious situation."

"Yes, I will definitely pay attention in the future."

If you're going to put on a show, go all the way.

Ge Hongbin knew it definitely wasn't from a parachute jump.

Qin Feng was also well aware that the leader knew.

But there are many things you have to pretend you don't know when you do.

After exchanging a few brief words of concern and inquiring whether Qin Feng was doing well at the hospital, Ge Hongbin then got down to business.

"I called you here because there's something I'd like to talk to you about."

"Ok?"

"Do you remember when I mentioned to you before that the war zone was preparing to form a new unit?"

"remember."

"It's about to begin."

Qin Feng was overjoyed; was this a sign that he was about to be entrusted with an important task?

But he didn't understand why the two leaders didn't seem happy about what was clearly a good thing.

Qin Feng asked in confusion, "Were there any difficulties during the process?"

Ge Hongbin remained silent, but it was Wei Shanhe's turn to speak: "This project was not initiated by the war zone, but by headquarters."

"Headquarters is going to form a new unit?"

Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, feeling that something was off.

Because previously, Minister He had summoned him and the poisonous snake to his office.

I told him about preparing to form a secret force, so he's wondering if this is the same thing.

So Qin Feng tentatively asked, "Since it's headquarters taking the lead, shouldn't there be more guarantees in terms of support policies, benefits, and facilities? Isn't that a good thing?"

"What size and nature is this team, and where is it located?"

Wei Shanhe said helplessly, "It is indeed a good thing for the overall development of the troops, but it will also greatly weaken the strength of the theater of operations."

"What makes you say that?"

"The higher command requires each war zone to select 2,000 elite soldiers to report to the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps in half a month. After centralized training and comprehensive selection examinations, a brand-new heavy-armored combined arms division will be formed to shoulder the important responsibility of developing and defending the border."

Now Qin Feng finally understood why the two commanders looked so grim: they were going to transfer two thousand elite troops from here.

This has a huge impact on the overall strength of the war zone.

If the order had only involved deploying two thousand soldiers, it might have been better.

Two thousand elite soldiers are equivalent to twenty thousand ordinary soldiers. Who wouldn't feel the pinch?

"Only our war zone?"

"more than."

Ge Hongbin responded: "All war zones are treated equally. They all received the same orders: to select 2,000 elite soldiers and send them over in 15 days."

"Although some may eventually be eliminated and brought back, the vast majority will probably have to stay there forever."

Although everyone knows that the military belongs to the country and the soldiers belong to the people.

These elite soldiers were painstakingly cultivated and nurtured over many years.

Now, an order has been issued from above to remove the entire plant, pot and all, making their years of hard work go to waste.

Not to mention the two leaders, even Qin Feng felt a pang of pain, because this was like bleeding the war zone dry.

Such a severe blow will likely take at least a year or two to recover.

Qin Feng comforted him, "Since headquarters has issued such an order, it must have been after careful consideration by the top leaders. In addition, considering the turbulent situation of continuous fighting outside, that area does need to be fortified in advance."

"Fortunately, the order did not favor any side, and the impact on other war zones was the same."

"If the overall decline is not a decline, then it is the same as no decline at all. Although we have drawn blood, it has not yet reached the point of serious damage. I will talk to a few military academies to see if we can bring in more good candidates next year to replenish our strength."

In the past, the two leaders' expressions would have softened somewhat upon hearing these words.

But now, the two men's expressions became even more unpleasant, and the way they looked at him became very complicated.

This left Qin Feng completely baffled. He had already reached this position; surely he shouldn't be overwhelmed by something so trivial?

As a commander at the general level, his considerations would naturally prioritize overall national defense and security before considering his own interests.

Qin Feng asked, "Sir, are there any additional conditions?"

Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Ge Hongbin could only sigh deeply: "Headquarters has called your name and wants you to go with them."

"I?"

Qin Feng was taken aback for a moment, then a possibility occurred to him: "Let me assemble this heavy armor synthesis division???"

It would be a lie to say I wasn't excited!

A combined arms division is a large unit, and being a heavily armed force, it must number at least 10,000 to 20,000 people!

This means that the leader must be a general!

Qin Feng even suspected that this was a special opportunity given to him by his superiors, who recognized his hard work and achievements, to legitimately take that step!

But Ge Hongbin poured cold water on his enthusiasm: "Stop dreaming. You're only a senior colonel now. Do you know how many senior colonels are stuck at this step?"

"Furthermore, do you know how many heavy armor synths engineers are needed, and what level is required to mobilize them?"

Qin Feng chuckled: "I was just asking casually."

Ge Hongbin waved his hand helplessly: "Forget it, I knew you wanted to go. If it's going to rain, it's going to rain; if a mother wants to remarry, she can't stop her."

Wei Shanhe also sighed and said, "Although we are all very reluctant to part with you, we still have to tell you what the specific orders and tasks are."

"Your superiors have specifically requested that you go there to join forces with different teams from other war zones; of course, two senior colonels from this war zone will also be going with you."

"During the comprehensive training, the headquarters will give a comprehensive evaluation of all commanders, especially the selection of the commander of the combined arms division."

"Your opponents are players of the same caliber from other major war zones. Their experience in leading troops and their command and combat skills are no less than yours."

"This is a battlefield, it all depends on whether you can break through the encirclement and seize the throne of the Synthesis Division Commander."

"If you lose, you still have to persevere; if you win, congratulations, the Yan Kingdom army has gained its youngest general!"
