Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

As a time traveler, Jackie Chan naturally understands the importance of the command system.

If the First Division wants to become a qualified combined arms division, the first thing it must do is change its command system and upgrade the battalion level to a unified division command.

So when faced with Long Xiaoyun's gaze, Jackie Chan did not hesitate to support her.

"Technology is advancing, times are progressing, and the military needs to advance as well. Future warfare is already foreseeable; it will definitely be an information and digital age. The purpose of the military region establishing the First Division is not simply to add another division, but to adapt to future warfare and to explore combat tactics for the entire army. Therefore..."

Jackie Chan scanned Liang Hang, Fang Yaqiu, and Gao Da with a serious gaze.

He solemnly stated, "The E5W system, developed under the leadership of Captain Long, will ultimately achieve full divisional integration in terms of command, communication, intelligence analysis, and real-time battlefield control."

Every department must participate; there is absolutely no way you can be separated from this system.

This ensures that the firepower and effectiveness of each unit are at their best during wartime, and that troop coordination is maximized.

Only those First Division members who meet this standard can be considered qualified new-type digital synthesizers.

Jackie Chan was telling the truth about the First Division, but people are selfish after all. After hearing what Jackie Chan said, everyone's expression became more and more embarrassed.

"Commander Cheng, according to your logic, if all our units have entered this E5W system, then what will we battalion commanders be able to manage? Won't we become mere decorations?" Fang Yaqiu was the first to raise an objection.

"Captain Long, is your E5W system designed to tether all the planes and fly them like kites?"

Liang Hang dared not direct his firepower at Jackie Chan, so he could only use Long Xiaoyun as a breakthrough point.

"So, when the time comes, I'll just activate the system, have Commander Cheng operate it, and then I can go fishing? And after you guys finish the war, I'll make you all fish soup?"

Gao Da spoke with a smile as if he were joking, but his words were actually full of barbs.

All combat orders can be issued directly from the division level to each battalion and company through the online command system.

As the commander of a brigade or regiment, their value would indeed be greatly reduced, and their power and status would be significantly diminished.

The people here are all team leaders, and none of them want to become mere figureheads, so naturally they will have strong resistance.

Jackie Chan is able to understand people's emotions.

After all, everyone worked hard to climb up the ranks and finally became a regimental commander. They all wanted to lead troops into battle and prove themselves on the battlefield.

Nobody wants to be just a puppet, with their troops completely outside their control.

But the era of war has changed.

Reform is imperative.

The captains are currently quite resistant and are taking this matter too seriously. Explaining things at this point is pointless, and they probably won't listen anyway.

Even if the new command system is implemented, the battalion commander will still be very important.

Furthermore, since the E5W system is not yet fully implemented, Jackie Chan has plenty of time to educate everyone, allowing them to gradually move from fear to acceptance, and eventually come to like it.

Therefore, Jackie Chan did not confront them directly, but instead used a high-pressure approach to order everyone present to obey.

Instead, they chose to go with the flow.

Since everyone present was joking in response, Jackie Chan also displayed his high intelligence by expressing his attitude in a joking manner.

"I want fish soup, and I want to fly a kite, and there's no room for negotiation."

Jackie Chan chuckled and joked, then changed the subject seriously and said, "I have to tell you now that the division has held a meeting and decided that the application of the E5W system will be the focus of the next phase of work."

Captain Long is in charge of the entire research and development. I hope that the entire division can work together to overcome the difficulties.

Each unit should complete its preliminary preparations in accordance with the requirements of the overall design.

The three of you are the backbone of the First Division, and the most crucial units that require unified command. I hope you can seize the time to make preparations.

Jackie Chan, as the division commander, has made a clear statement, and this decision was made on behalf of the private sector.

Despite their disagreements, Liang Hang, Gao Da, and Fang Yaqiu had no choice but to comply with the overwhelming military orders and stand at attention to receive instructions.

After finishing the meeting at the Missile Division, Jackie Chan went on a tour of various departments.

The main purpose was to check on the construction progress of the camp area.

The first priority now is that all the battalions under its command, from the regimental headquarters to the battalion and company levels, are actively building their own camps.

Civil engineering projects are flourishing everywhere.

As the division commander, Jackie Chan, even if he doesn't know everything perfectly, needs at least a general understanding in order to better control the First Division.

After touring all the brigades, the day was over.

After returning to the division headquarters and having dinner, Jackie Chan, who rarely didn't have to work overtime that evening, turned on his dusty computer out of boredom.

It's been a long time since Jackie Chan has engaged in an online martial arts competition, and he's really itching to get back to it.

Jackie Chan is still unaware that the Rocket Force officer who can hold his own against him online is actually Vice Commander Chung.

He only knew that there was such an opponent, which aroused his interest in going online.

So as soon as I turned on the computer, I went straight to him.

Sure enough, there were messages from the Rocket Force.

"Heavy tanks, where have you gone? I've been challenging you from outside the city for days, but you haven't dared to even show your face. Are you too scared to fight me?"

"Haha, what a strange kind of confidence."

Upon seeing the Rocket Force's message, Jackie Chan burst into laughter and immediately began typing furiously.

"It's not that I don't dare, it's just that I'm too busy. You, a nobody of the third rank, dare to challenge a top general under the city walls? You're overestimating yourself."

Levels like "Level 3" and "General" are classifications used in forums for two-player games.

"Hahaha."

At that moment, Deputy Commander Chung was in front of his computer. Upon seeing Jackie Chan's arrogant reply, he couldn't help but burst into laughter and immediately retaliated.

"It seems you are indeed very busy, you don't even have time to check the forum, otherwise you would know that I have already reached level 25."

Deputy Commander Zhong typed with a broad smile, thoroughly enjoying this clash of masters.

"When the tiger is away, the monkey is king. I'm the moderator, you know. If I step in, watch out, I'll kick you off again, haha," Jackie Chan jokingly threatened.

"Let's put aside whether you dare to kick me down for now, let's exchange a few moves first."

The deputy commander was equally impatient and immediately typed out a long message.

"Judging from the trend of the world's military revolution, the combined arms division will become the most basic tactical unit in war, and the informationized battlefield will become the main battlefield of future wars. Such a battlefield will be difficult to delineate its boundaries."

Soldiers have lost the opportunity to display heroic feats in close combat. What do you think?

Deputy Commander Chung expressed his views on information warfare, believing that future wars will be high-tech operations, and the role of soldiers will be greatly diminished.

This viewpoint is theoretically sound.

After all, science fiction films from decades ago already featured plots where robots replaced soldiers and wars became robot wars.

Jackie Chan traveled from more than ten years in the future.

He knew that in his lifetime, machine soldiers could never replace human soldiers; at most, they could only serve as auxiliary tools for them.

He even dared to predict that the robotization of the military would not occur during his lifetime.

So he immediately retaliated.

"The informationized battlefield is destined to have richer data and more accurate positioning, which will provide soldiers with a broader scope for performance."

The organizational structure of future warfare will transition from a hierarchical structure to a grid structure, extending from the command center to the lowest level. Every weapon and every soldier will become a grid node, forming a crisscrossing whole on the entire battlefield.

From generals to soldiers, everyone will have a stage to fully demonstrate their abilities, and the role of soldiers will be amplified accordingly…

Jackie Chan and Vice Commander Chung hadn't spoken up for a long time, but once they started, it was like the Yellow River flowing down from the sky—they talked non-stop and were incredibly enthusiastic.

I was struck by Jackie Chan's profound theoretical foundation and his advanced understanding and awareness of future warfare.

Deputy Commander Zhong felt even more at ease!

I firmly believe that under Jackie Chan's leadership, the First Division will definitely become an excellent compositing team, and I look forward to the day of acceptance even more.

The work of the First Division officially got on track, and nothing major happened in the next two days.

Until the third day.

Long Xiaoyun, whom he hadn't seen for two days, suddenly ran to Jackie Chan's office.

"Hey, Captain Long's here pretty early."

As soon as Jackie Chan entered, he saw Long Xiaoyun sitting on the sofa, made a joke, and walked towards his desk.

"Commander, it's not that I'm early, it's that you're late," Long Xiaoyun said, standing up.

Seeing that Long Xiaoyun's expression wasn't good, Jackie Chan knew that something must have gone wrong again, so he invited her over and said, "Come sit down and let's talk."

After Long Xiaoyun sat down across from him at the desk, Jackie Chan put away his hat and briefcase.

He picked up the hot tea that the messenger had prepared in advance, took a sip to moisten his throat, and said, "Speak, what do you need me for?"

"It's still about the E5W system," Long Xiaoyun said, frowning.

"Oh? What's wrong now?" Jackie Chan asked, puzzled.

"The software development is basically complete. Now we are facing the question of how each brigade will operate and use the new software after it is developed."

As Long Xiaoyun spoke, she not only frowned, but also showed a hint of anger in her eyes.

He said angrily, "Fang Yaqiu doesn't operate or debug the weapon systems on his ship himself; he expects me to do it for him."

"Without upgrading and modifying the communication systems of Liang Hang's imported aircraft, the precision guidance systems they carry will be unable to read our real-time intelligence analysis data, rendering them completely unable to perform their maneuver combat capabilities."

"You mean...?"

Jackie Chan placed his fists on the table, his eyes sharp and serious, and said, "They're outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant; they haven't cooperated with your work?"

"Fundamentally, they are not cooperating with your work and are deliberately complicating things."

Long Xiaoyun specifically corrected the key point, saying, "I don't know if the division commander has realized that the E5W system network command system faces great resistance."

Aside from technical issues, the main reason is that your authority as acting division commander has not been established, and the subordinates simply do not take your orders seriously.

Jackie Chan's expression changed several times upon hearing Long Xiaoyun's last two sentences.

Finally, he laughed, a bright and cheerful laugh.

He gestured very kindly, "Come on, continue."

Long Xiaoyun couldn't understand why Jackie Chan could still laugh. He thought that Jackie Chan would definitely be angry after hearing what he said, or at the very least, his face would turn very ugly.

but.

Jackie Chan did not lose control of his emotions on the spot, and even gave himself a chance to continue speaking.

Long Xiaoyun couldn't help but look at Jackie Chan with newfound respect. From that moment on, she understood what it meant to have the mindset of a mentor, and she felt more confident in solving the problem.

Therefore, her mood suddenly improved, and the resentment in her eyes gradually disappeared.

He said in a relatively calm tone, "As a division commander, you have too many things to do, and there are some situations you may not be fully aware of."

I'm sure you're aware of the open challenges you've faced, and you've probably heard about them as well.

For example, Boldav has stated publicly on multiple occasions that he is also a colonel, with a rank no lower than yours, a better resume than yours, and experience as a regimental commander, making him more suitable to be the acting division commander than you.

You can simply treat such simple-minded and naive ravings as a joke and don't need to take them seriously.

But you might not know those who outwardly cooperate but secretly do the opposite, or even have ulterior motives.

If these people don't cooperate with your work, it's simply impossible to manage the First Division well and complete the military region's acceptance inspection on schedule.

You must find a way to completely resolve these problems as soon as possible.

Long Xiaoyun genuinely cares about Jackie Chan, and in some ways, she's even more worried than Jackie Chan himself about his inability to remove the "ghost" prefix from his name.

Otherwise, she would never have said such things, as they could easily be misinterpreted as disunity or internal strife.

"As expected of the captain of the information brigade, you have all kinds of information. Having you by my side to help me is the greatest blessing I can ever have."

Jackie Chan secretly remembered Long Xiaoyun's words, but he made sarcastic remarks without revealing his true feelings.

One's thoughts and ideas should not be manipulated by subordinates.

This is a fundamental requirement for being a teacher!

"It's not just because I'm the head of the information team, but also because I'm the only woman among all the warlords, so I have more and easier ways to obtain intelligence than you."

Long Xiaoyun's words carried a hint, as if she were explaining the pursuit of Gundam.

"What you said actually makes a lot of sense. Otherwise, why are most of the spies in movies women?"

Jackie Chan made a light joke to shift the focus, then composed himself and asked seriously, "So, my dear Captain Long, do you have any good suggestions regarding the issue you just mentioned?"

"In my opinion, the problem lies in the fact that you are currently only an acting teacher, which gives others room for speculation and puts you in a dilemma. I can't help you with that."

Long Xiaoyun shook her head with a wry smile; she truly didn't know what to do. (End of Chapter)
