Who taught you to be a soldier like this!

Chapter 596

Yanjing.

China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation, Second Academy.

Having just returned to the research institute after his trip to Southeast Asia, Wang Zhenggang opened his eyes and saw his disciple standing at the door, swaying back and forth like a scarecrow guarding a wheat field.

What are you standing there for?

Wang Zheng rubbed his eyes hard, took his glasses from the bedside table and put them on, a sharp glint flashing in his aged eyes.

"What's wrong? Is there a new mission?"

"Is there a new requirement for the security system for the Olympics? Or is there some new research and development task that requires our assistance?"

"Could it be that they've finally achieved some success in the Northwest?"

At this point, Wang Zheng suddenly stood up from the bed, his movements so nimble that one would never guess he was an elderly man nearing eighty.

The disciple, who had been standing there for an unknown amount of time, saw his teacher's "as if facing a formidable enemy" expression and immediately realized that his posture had caused Wang Zheng to misunderstand. He quickly said...

"Teacher, please don't get agitated."

"It's really not a big deal."

This statement came out.

Perhaps because he got up too quickly, Wang Zheng, feeling a little dizzy, slowly sat down on the edge of the bed, looking his closed-door disciple up and down with a slightly disdainful gaze.

"Then what are you doing standing there like a gatekeeper? What are you doing!"

In his excitement, Wang Zheng even blurted out his hometown dialect, revealing that he was also from Sichuan and Chongqing. No wonder he had such a close personal relationship with Pei Tianren!
"I think you just have nothing to do and are too idle!"

"Perfect timing. The institute needs to collect opinions and suggestions from grassroots officers and soldiers regarding the new low-altitude air defense missile."

"It won't be long, just a few months. I think it's perfect for you to go!"

"So you won't have anything to do all day!"

Seeing that he was about to be "sent down to the grassroots" by his teacher, Wang Zheng's disciple trembled and immediately cried out pitifully.

"Teacher! I don't want to just stand there like an idiot in front of your door!"

"Chief Pei told me not to disturb you! He said he would inform you about this as soon as you woke up."

"So what am I supposed to do, stand guard at the door?"

Wang Zheng: "."

"Pei Tianren?"

"What's that old man up to now?"

"Are you still thinking about his large model?"

"If it's still this kind of thing, you don't need to tell me, just call him back!"

"We don't have the time or the resources to verify it for him right now!"

"Damn it, I get so angry just thinking about it! That old man is getting more and more unreliable!"

"They have the nerve to come to me for verification with a solution from who-knows-who? Anyone who didn't know better would think their military district is some kind of research institute!"

At this point, Wang Zheng took a breath. Seeing that his disciple was still standing there dumbfounded, he transferred all his resentment towards Pei Tianren onto him, looking at him with increasing disdain!

What are you still standing here for?

"Call them?"

"teacher"

She glanced timidly at Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng's disciple quickly handed over the report in his hand, and said cautiously.

"According to Chief Pei, their model has already been validated in practice."

"The purpose of this message is to share some relevant experience with you, and see if it can inspire us."

Actually, this way of putting it is quite tactful.

Pei Tianren's original words were clearly, "Let your teacher, that arrogant guy, take a good look! Let him learn something!"

"Verification is complete?"

Wang Zheng frowned in surprise, took off his glasses, wiped them carefully, put them back on, and then accepted the report from the student.

I watched it for a full half hour.

This report, not written by Zhao Weihong, systematically explains the model Zhao Weihong constructed from a highly professional military perspective, combined with Zhao Weihong's speech at the General Headquarters.

The report concluded by mentioning the recently concluded "verification phase," specifically the operation that just ended in Mangtianlian, which irrefutably demonstrated the practicality and value of Zhao Weihong's system.

It's just a few pages of content.

Wang Zheng, however, looked at the report over and over again, and finally handed it to his disciple whose legs were numb.

"Look."

"This document says that the Sichuan-Chongqing military region has developed a large-scale model for analyzing border crossing routes?"

"That's how it is."

"Was the author of this model just a platoon leader at the grassroots level?"

"Chief Pei already mentioned this matter regarding the teacher last time."

"If it weren't for this, you wouldn't have been so resolute in refusing last time."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zheng acted as if he hadn't heard at all, continuing to express his doubts.

"And in the past few days, they have completed the initial verification of this model and successfully discovered a group of drug traffickers who were hiding very well?"

Seeing Wang Zheng talking to himself, his disciple felt a chill and was about to say something when he saw Wang Zheng glare at him and slam his hand heavily on the table next to him!

"Is this outrageous?!"

"The officers in the army aren't thinking about leading troops into battle; instead, they're getting into theoretical research!"

"Then what are we supposed to do?"

"Call that old bastard Pei now! Immediately! Right now!"

"I must see for myself who this platoon leader who came up with this model really is!"

"Good teacher!"

It is still unknown who Wang Zheng's last disciple is.

Wang Zheng, who was acting "angry" at the moment, had actually already considered making him his "senior brother".

at the same time.

Having already gotten up and washed up, Pei Tianren was sitting in the conference room, happily watching the phone displaying the "caller ID" notification. He was as happy as an old man who had just won a game of chess in the park.

"Old Pei, what are you grinning about?"

"The phone's ringing! Didn't you see it?"

"pick up!"

"Eh!"

Hearing the puzzled reminder from the armed police commander, Pei Tianren gave him a "you don't understand" look, waved his hand, and continued to explain excitedly while staring at the constantly flashing phone screen.

"I'm going to make Old Wang really experience what it's like to be torn apart!"

"So that he won't be so arrogant and look down on people!"

Just then, the constantly vibrating phone suddenly went silent.

Pei Tianren immediately pointed to the phone and boasted to the armed police chief.

"I bet you!"

"Within five seconds! Old Wang's call will come right back!"

The words fell.

Just as the armed police commander was about to reply, Pei Tianren's phone started beeping again, just as he had said.

"Hey! See! What did I tell you?"

"Just look at Old Wang, I know what kind of shit he's going to take the moment he bends over!"

Rolling his eyes at Pei Tianren, the armed police chief replied with a mixture of disdain and amusement.

"Alright, I know Wei Hong has really made you look good in front of Comrade Wang Zheng this time."

"Stop being so vain! Answer the phone quickly, Comrade Wang Zheng is getting impatient."

"Hey, I'm only doing this because of you."

"Otherwise, I'll definitely leave him hanging for half an hour!"

He picked up the phone with a smug look on his face and pressed the answer button.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Pei Tianren couldn't stop showing off!

"Oh? Who's this busy person?" "Why did you suddenly decide to call me?"

"Huh? A model?"

"Hey! Comrades at the grassroots level, these are just small fry, not worth your attention, Academician Wang!"

Wang Zheng, on the other end of the phone, was so angry that his teeth itched, and he immediately retorted!
"Hey Pei! Don't try to act all high and mighty with me!"

"It's not even the model you made, so what are you bragging about?"

The two old acquaintances then started catching up on the phone, chatting back and forth.

After a heated exchange of words, Pei Tianren, having had his fill of showing off, finally spoke slowly.

"Would you like to meet the model's creator?"

"Sure! But you'll have to wait!"

"As you know, we have a mission now."

"We can't just remove someone from their position because of one sentence from Academician Wang, can we?"

"Oh! I almost forgot, even after the mission is over, you might not be able to see him again."

"This kid is still an intern. After his assignment is finished, he still has to go back and defend his thesis!"

"I estimate you'll have to wait a while longer."

This statement came out.

Even though Pei Tianren didn't turn on speakerphone, the armed police chief clearly heard Wang Zheng's furious roar!

However, the "instigator" who angered Wang Zheng felt no remorse whatsoever. Instead, he listened with a slightly intoxicated air for a while before hanging up the phone with a satisfied expression.

"Look at Old Wang!"

"How old are you! You still can't get rid of this bad temper!"

The armed police chief was utterly contemptuous of Pei Tianren's "getting the benefit and then acting innocent" attitude, but on the surface, he still had to agree with Wang Zheng.

"He's really done for this time!"

"However, I won't ask him what he wants to do with Wei Hong."

"But don't forget, you promised to lend Wei Hong to me for a while."

"This kid is really capable!"

"Besides me, now Comrade Wang Zheng has his eye on me too!"

"If I don't urge you, you might just forget about it!"

"Look what you said!"

Faced with the questioning from the armed police chief, Pei Tianren was extremely indignant, puffing out his beard and glaring, and said excitedly.

Am I that kind of person?

The armed police commander didn't rush to reply. Instead, he looked Pei Tianren up and down very carefully for a while before answering very seriously.

"I think it looks like it!"

"Screw you!"

"Hahahaha!"

The two leaders sat together, laughing so hard they could hardly breathe.

Only after laughing until he was exhausted did Pei Tianren wipe away his tears and ask the advisor beside him.

"Where is Wei Hong? Where is he now?"

"He doesn't need to handle the trivial matters like wrapping things up!"

"Tell him to rest for two days and then return to headquarters immediately!"

"I want to personally commend our great hero!"

Seeing that Pei Tianren had finally brought up Zhao Weihong, the staff officer, with a furrowed brow and a worried expression, knew that he couldn't delay any longer and had no choice but to tell the two leaders the news he had just received from the grassroots.

"Sir, the final work is progressing very smoothly."

"According to feedback from comrades at the grassroots level, the amount of contraband seized this time is probably the largest in nearly ten years."

"only"

"But what? Stop being so indecisive!"

"Speak directly!"

Seeing that Pei Tianren seemed to be getting angry, the staff officer steeled himself and spoke with some difficulty.

"However, according to other comrades who participated in the mission..."

"Comrade Zhao Weihong is not in very good condition right now."

"."

"what?"

at the same time.

Mangtianlian County.

The mountains near the border have returned to tranquility.

The bodies of the drug traffickers, the contraband they left behind, and even the bullets embedded in the trees have all been cleaned up.

If someone came here, they would never know that a thrilling gunfight had taken place here just a dozen hours ago.

However, Zhao Weihong, who was always conscientious and responsible, did not participate in these tedious follow-up tasks.

Do not misunderstand.

Zhao Weihong was not injured.

However, Zhao Weihong's current condition is far more worrying than her "injury".

At this moment, he was sitting quietly on the top of the cliff that had influenced Tao Jianguo's entire life, facing the ever-rising sun.

After the operation ended, Zhao Weihong came here and sat there for more than ten hours.

The sun has passed, and the moon has passed; not a drop of water has been consumed, not a grain of rice has been eaten.

Some people were worried about Zhao Weihong's condition and wanted to persuade him to go back.

But Zhao Weihong doesn't seem to have much desire to communicate with others.

Neither Chen Zheng nor Qian Wanli could get Zhao Weihong to speak, nor could they get her to leave.

No one knows what Zhao Weihong is thinking.

Meanwhile, the team members responsible for guarding the cliff top stood not far behind Zhao Weihong, feeling extremely guilty.

They stood for as long as Zhao Weihong sat.

During this period, they also tried to communicate with Zhao Weihong and admit their mistakes.

However, Zhao Weihong treated them all the same and did not respond to any of them.

For the team members...

Zhao Weihong's "indifference" and "ignorance" were far more distressing to them than direct scolding or even punishment.

Wu Fengxu, who had finally managed to free himself from the busy cleanup work, came here.

Things finally took a turn for the better.

"Regarding the arrangements for Comrade Tao Jianguo's funeral, the local authorities have initially put forward some guidelines."

"Give me some advice."

As he spoke, Wu Fengxu sat down next to Zhao Weihong, his gaze inadvertently sweeping over the distant mountains.

Wu Fengxu had no choice but to admit it.

The scenery here is indeed beautiful.

The vast mountains and magnificent scenery can make people forget their troubles and also make them realize their own insignificance.

"There is a martyrs' cemetery in the local county."

"However, as you know, Tao Jianguo's situation makes it impossible for him to be recognized as a martyr."

"In response, the local comrades came up with a compromise solution."

"A separate area was set aside a few dozen meters outside the martyrs' cemetery as the burial site for Comrade Tao Jianguo."

"The epitaph will also detail Comrade Tao Jianguo's deeds."

Wu Fengxu seemed to want to continue speaking.

But Zhao Weihong, who had been silent for more than ten hours, spoke up in a hoarse voice after hearing this.

"This is enough."
