Chapter 26: The Sword of the Madman

  Staring at the military exercise being broadcast on the screen, Ji Huai was shouting in his heart: "Awesome, really awesome!"

  The military exercises of Whirlwind Witch and Mu Honghua made her famous in all four wars. The challenge letters from those commanders who were confident in their own command abilities came pouring in, and the Whirlwind Witch accepted them one by one, taking her company that had already become a veteran special forces unit to fight in all directions.

  On this vast and boundless virtual battlefield, the dancing fairy is like a magician who can turn her hands into clouds and cover them with rain, causing her opponents to spin around in confusion. She has pushed the combat capabilities of the 5th Special Forces' individual soldiers, high-end weapons, and information equipment to their limits. Her tactics are bold and unorthodox, often deviating from conventional norms, but she often achieves unexpected results.

  In small-scale battles where the number of troops was similar, the 5th Special Forces under her leadership launched a fierce attack, and no battalion could withstand the stormy attack for more than an hour; when facing a large-scale siege, she turned into a cunning fox, elusive and unpredictable, with all sorts of strange and unbelievable information emerging one after another, occasionally followed by a virtual attack that would catch off guard those staff officers who were fighting against her, leaving them exhausted. She truly embodied the essence of Sun Tzu's Art of War, "invincibility lies in the defense; the possibility of victorious attack lies in the defense".

  The temperature of the exercise is constantly escalating, and the number of opponents of the dancing fairy is also rising, until finally upgraded to a confrontation between a division and a company. Although it is no longer possible to give a fatal blow to an opponent with too many numbers, there is no commander who dares to say that he can annihilate this small unit of just over 100 people with the strength of one division.

  General Yuehua smiled while paying attention to the development of the battle, "She's really not a bad student, she can apply the knowledge you taught her to actual combat exercises so quickly. These few months have been truly baptism by fire for her!"

  "In commanding a company, I'm already inferior to her!" Ji Huaicheng said honestly: "Those war strategies were all taught by me, but I absolutely can't reach her level. The 5th Special Forces is China's most elite unit, without her personal charm as the core, that company wouldn't be able to achieve this level. And I also couldn't do things like she does, shocking and astonishing, disregarding consequences."

  Yue Hua nodded and said, "Yes, this child is too reckless. When confronting the entire division, she dared to use biochemical poisonous gas, and disregarded the lives of soldiers by dispatching a dare-to-die squad, constantly creating terrorist activities within the opponent's jurisdiction. What's even more frightening is that she forcibly took control of the equipment fund of the 5th Special Forces, purchased small nuclear bombs through mercenary organizations, and smuggled them into the country. If we hadn't discovered it early, I'm afraid she would have already set a precedent for using nuclear weapons in military exercises."

  "Now our country's 5th Special Forces are internationally renowned, I estimate that half of the participants in the competition are watching this match between the company and the regiment. To be able to use terrorism, guerrilla warfare, positional warfare, bird war, biochemical warfare, close combat, and even nuclear weapons with ease in a single exercise, I'm afraid only our Whirlwind Witch Company Commander can do it."

  An aide rushed over with a strange expression, shouting: "The US National Security Agency requires immediate contact with our highest commander. Their strategic laser satellite in outer space has been hijacked and controlled by someone. According to their analysis, the laser emitter of this satellite is now pointing at China, but the specific target has not been determined yet!"

  Ji Huai only felt a cold sweat all over his body, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh and said: "It seems that I still didn't say one thing. This bold and daring young lady has already extended the battlefield to outer space. If I'm not mistaken, this satellite's target is 90% likely aimed at her opponent's command center."

  "What a sharp sword!"

  Yue Hua fell silent, this is a sword that once goes crazy and cannot be controlled. In this world, there are still too many mediocre people, which official would like a sword that he cannot control, and may even hurt himself? After a long time, Yue Hua quietly said: "The strong are easy to break, people like her have no room for development in peacetime, even the military can't accommodate her. The chaotic world is her true stage!"

  Five minutes later, the commander of the Shifu department surrendered with a white flag after practicing against the Whirlwind Witch. Seven minutes later, the White House handed over to the Chinese military the most severe diplomatic condemnation! Demanding that the Chinese military immediately resolve this crisis and hand over the mastermind behind this incident, otherwise it will be listed as China's most serious provocation and threat to the United States.

  Ten minutes later, the Whirling Witch forcibly landed on all broadcast channels of the competition platform through military satellites. Her words scared all Chinese participating soldiers to gasp in unison, and several officers with poor hearts were forced offline, not knowing if they needed to be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.

  The dancing fairy princess held up a remote control in her hand, first saluted with a military salute and solemnly said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am the captain of China's 5th Special Forces, Dancing Fairy Princess. The military satellite is under my control, and if I press this button, it will shoot out a super-strong laser beam capable of destroying the White House in the United States within ten seconds."

  "This is like the prelude to a declaration of independence by some terrorist organization. The dancing fairy's face suddenly changed, and she exclaimed in an impassioned tone: 'This powerful weapon has been taken control of by just one laptop computer, if it really falls into the hands of terrorists, wouldn't it be a sword of Damocles hanging over all humanity? Moreover, the more precise the weapons are, the easier they are to malfunction. Missiles can mistakenly destroy another country's embassy, who can guarantee that this iron thing in the sky won't suddenly go crazy and trigger World War III? Where is our safety? As military personnel, we have a mission to protect our homeland, which makes me feel compelled to remind the US military: you must, absolutely, and necessarily be careful with this weapon that could be seized by others at any time. Otherwise, the consequences are unthinkable!'"

  "I give up! Now she's clearly a terrorist, using the strategic satellite worth tens of billions of dollars to force the White House to make a statement, making them choose between destroying their own expensive strategic satellite and pursuing her mistakes, or swallowing this breath and keeping the deterrent power for future wars."

  In front of the computer, I slapped Yang Qing's shoulder wildly and shouted: "Good kid, you damn genius, you can even handle such a perverted thing!"

  Yang Qing said in a low, worried tone: "The pervert is you, boss! Although it was just on the competition platform that you forcibly took over the US strategic satellite, this is enough to make them vigilant. Boss, aren't you playing with fire? I estimate that the US National Security Agency will soon use force to track down the IP address of your network."

  "Isn't there a genius like you?" I smiled and looked at Yang Qing, asking: "How much more time can you guarantee for me?"

  Yang Qing thought for a full ten minutes before making up his mind, "I will do my best and add the security of the Dragon Shield system. I can guarantee that within a month, the other party won't be able to track down my IP address. I'll install an alarm device in the system with ten green lights on it. When the ninth light turns red, you must immediately log off and leave this competition."

  "A month?" I said in a low voice: "It's enough, I will conquer the world and gain enough war experience within this one month!"

  Chapter 27: Battlefield of Carnage

  After this battle, I directly rose to become the most dazzling active figure in the competition area. According to Yang Qing's analysis, it is possible that in reality, I have already been listed as a dangerous person on the blacklist by various national security departments. In order to strengthen confidentiality, Yang Qing directly installed a self-written voice frequency conversion plug-in on the computer, preventing some intelligence agencies from identifying my identity through the sound return system.

  As I slowly walked into the military conference room, everyone was quietly staring at me, with all sorts of gazes, some admiring, some fearful, some accusatory, and some supportive. But no matter what, I felt like they were all looking at a dinosaur that had crawled out of the primordial era. Only Mu Honghua gave me a thumbs up and showed an "you're awesome" expression. I smiled slightly at him and walked in standard military step to General Yue Hua's side.

  Taking a deep breath, I handed a wooden box containing 254 pure gold five-pointed stars to Yue Hua and said: "This is the insignia of our entire regiment. From this moment on, we are no longer soldiers of the Chinese army!"

  Deserter? Traitor? The entire venue was in an uproar, Yue Hua gazed at me quietly, although it was just a 3D image projected by the computer, but I felt his piercing eyes had already shot into my innermost heart. He asked in his usual low and solemn voice: "Have you made up your mind?!"

  "Yes!" I said loudly with my chest out.

  "No regrets?"

  "I'd rather die than surrender!"

  "Alright, from this moment on, you and your squad are no longer soldiers of China!" Yue Hua waved his hand fiercely and said: "Ji Huai, immediately contact the American side and tell them that our country has dealt with the Whirlwind Witch. To express our apology, we will disband the 5th Special Forces from today on, hoping to reach an understanding with them!"

  I gave this venerable elder a final military salute, turned around and walked towards the gate. Yue Hua suddenly shouted: "Everyone stand up, to see off our hero!"

  Frenzied applause erupted in the auditorium, and Yue Hua yelled: "Remember, you must blow their accursed Yasukuni Shrine to smithereens for me!"
