Chapter 3 (10)

  Xiao Hei's face also slowly turned red, looked at Wan Ba Tian, then looked at Xin Deputy Commander and others, said slowly: "Of course there is a difference... At least these few disabled people successfully took down the Blue Army Command..."

  Xiao Hei's words were not yet finished, when Zhao Tielong, who was sitting next to him, hastily pulled his sleeve. Jin Cheng, the chief of staff, who was sitting opposite them, quickly picked up his cup and pretended to lower his head to drink water, hiding the change in his expression. Xu Chunlai, the deputy chief of staff, who was sitting on the other side, wiped away the few strands of hair that had stood up on his head, with a wronged and aggrieved expression.

  "Is this the capital you're so proud of? You're now representing the company commander, not a platoon leader. You need to take a broader view and grasp the problems that exist in your company!"

  Xiao Hei said: "Report to the captain, from a global perspective, the second company had no problems during the exercise."

  Wan Ba Tian's hand holding the cup was trembling slightly as he stared at Xiao Hei, remaining silent for a long time.

  The scene was filled with gunpowder, and everyone turned their heads to look at Xiao Hei. The whole team was almost captured, yet he said it was no big deal - wasn't this guy talking nonsense?

  The investigation team's Tian consultant cleared his throat and asked, "You said the company was fine, but the company was captured during the exercise. Where do you think the problem lies?"

  This seems like a simple question of one plus one equals two, but Tian Canmou is trying to get Xiao Hei to understand that as a person with normal intelligence, he should know how to answer without making a fool of himself.

  Xiao Hei looked at Tian Canmou who asked the question and said slowly and seriously: "If... you really want me to say it... If I have no choice but to say it..."

  Zhao Tielong, a battalion commander next to Xiao Hei, pulled his clothes in annoyance and whispered, "Shut up, what are you babbling about?"

  Then Zhao Tielong stood up and said: "The second company has never had a formal commander, the problems that arose during the exercise were discussed in our regiment and a written report was made..."

  Tian Canmou, who had previously asked the question, bluntly interrupted Zhao Tielong, "Let this deputy battalion commander answer instead."

  Zhao Tielong sat down with a huff, and everyone looked at Xiao Hei.

  Xiao Hei stared at Tian Canmou and said, "The 2nd company's eight squads were captured, including the Blue Army headquarters being raided. If this is considered a problem, then the responsibility does not lie with us, and the blame cannot be placed on us."

  As soon as Xiao Hei finished speaking, the meeting room fell into a brief **. Deputy Commander Xin looked at Xiao Hei with a cold expression, but didn't say anything. After clearing his throat, Tian Canmou asked sarcastically, "You've caused problems yourselves, yet you don't take responsibility - what kind of logic is this?"

  Xiao Hei continued: "I hope the leaders can understand, we are a special forces unit, a strategic-level combat force of the country and the military, not just an ordinary army infantry unit. But this time's exercise arrangement, what's the difference with ordinary infantry exercises? A target that doesn't even count as tactical level, yet we have to mobilize battalion companies to do human wave tactics, it's strange if we don't get captured..."

  With a "slap", Wan Ba Tian suddenly slapped the table, stood up and shouted at Xiao Hei: "Alright, stop spouting your nonsense!"

  Everyone was shocked, but Deputy Commander Xin sat motionless in the chairman's seat.

  "Sorry, Commander, I was wrong in my guidance. I will make sure to educate him properly next time."

  Deputy Commander Xin waved his hand and said, "Let him finish speaking, you should give grassroots comrades the opportunity to speak." Then he picked up his pen, ready to take notes, and said to Xiao Hei, "You continue to speak."

  "Reporting to the superior officer, I've finished speaking."

  Xin's deputy commander put down his pen with some disappointment, "That's it, I thought you had a lot to say."

  Xiao Hei still stood upright and replied, "Reporting to the superior, I really have finished speaking. What I said is not to shirk responsibility, since we are looking for problems, then we must find out where the problem lies."

  "Do you think the problem lies with the top leadership, with the guiding organs, with the decision-making level?" Deputy Commander Xin asked.

  Wan Ba Tian stared at Xiao Hei anxiously, as if wanting to convey with his eyes that he must not answer Deputy Commander Xin's question directly, lest he be accused of being disloyal and suffer the consequences. In the imperial court or in the strict hierarchy of the military, how many people had ended up well after committing such an offense?
