It was the team from country j that requested to withdraw from the competition.
Country j is not a big country and its strength is not strong, but the adaptability training in these two days benefited from the same advantages of the natural environment of country j and country h, and it has certain advantages in cross-country comprehensive sniping.
Not getting the first place is a luxury, but at any rate, being in the top three in a certain event will be a good thing, and it is a seal that beats Pla or Da Mao or Ying Jiang in such a competition where experts gather. Once you get it home, you can use it to brag about for a lifetime.
After changing the rules twice in a row before, Country J was already buzzing. This time it refused to allow ammunition testing in an open field. The last hope was extinguished. It is understandable that the reaction was huge.
The J country team was booed to withdraw from the game, and several other teams that were already angry for various reasons also asked to withdraw. For a while, the situation got a little out of control.
"We have to withdraw from the competition too!"
"You can play this kind of game by yourself!"
"I have never seen such a rule change. We will withdraw from the competition in protest!"
"Death to the organizing committee!"
They are all old men from various countries, and they are all masters who kill with guns without batting an eyelid. The scolding of each one is harsh and unpleasant.
Kasim's face looked a little ugly.
But he said nothing.
The scolding was already expected.
At critical moments, staying calm is crucial.
He couldn't help but look at the solemnity.
There was nothing on his solemn face, and he stood there looking at himself.
When Qasim and Zhuang Yan were studying together as special operations students abroad, he was very appreciative of Zhuang Yan's concept of war, and thus developed a strong interest in Chinese culture, especially some of the history books and war art mentioned by Zhuang Yan. Theory, and I admire him even more.
After returning to China, he actually bought some ancient Chinese military and history books to read. After reading this, he did learn something, but he used it incorrectly after learning it.
He remained silent, just waiting for everyone to scold him.
At this time, any explanation is useless. It is obvious that it is cheating, which is unreasonable. How to explain unreasonableness?
Not only is it ineffective to forcibly comfort him at this time, but he may also add fuel to the fire.
He can wait.
So we waited.
He waited until the teams that asked to withdraw from the competition cursed for more than ten minutes, and the curses became quieter and quieter, before he spoke.
"Everyone, I share your dissatisfaction. I am on your side in this matter. I have severely criticized the base's logistics support officer, reported the matter to my superiors, and requested that he be disciplined. This kind of mistake really shouldn't happen. However, the matter has come to this, and arguing will have no effect. I think so, I personally urge them to seize the time to repair the venue, repair it as soon as possible and provide it for everyone to train. Now you go to the 100-meter shooting range. Let’s calibrate the gun first. Once the gun is calibrated, it may be maintained over there and ready for use.”
"You said hurry up, hurry up? Give me an accurate time, how many hours will it take for the maintenance and repairs to be completed?" Jeffrey first raised an objection: "Otherwise, if you keep saying the repairs are not done all day long, we will wait in vain for a day!? Your people I have practiced countless times with your ammunition on different shooting ranges. Of course you don’t care. Do you want us to believe you? Then show your sincerity and tell me an accurate time."
Kasim smiled bitterly: "I can't give the most accurate time. I can only say that I will do my best and as soon as possible! Please believe that I am sincere."
Jeffrey mocked: "For an organizer that can change the rules twice in a row, is talking about sincerity as ridiculous as a bitch talking about being a chaste and martyrdom woman?"
Qasim looked at Jeffrey and cursed.
The scolding continued for another five minutes.
Zhong Zhipeng said to Zhuang Yan: "This classmate of yours is really thick-skinned. They represent the military. Why don't they have a sense of honor?"
Zhuang Yan said: "The inner spiritual core of the military of each country is different, and the values and sense of honor are also different. Some people are willing to abandon everything in order to win. Of course, the ultimate goal on the battlefield seems to be to win first and achieve the established strategy. Purpose, any infamy behind you, that’s secondary.”
Zhong Zhipeng felt that he could not accept Zhuang Zheng's theory for a while, but he did not want to delve deeper into this issue and asked: "Now that so many people are withdrawing from the competition, I want to see how he solves it."
"No." Zhuang Yan said, "The matter will definitely be resolved in the end."
"How to solve it?" Zhong Zhipeng asked curiously.
"One surge of energy will lead to failure, and three times it will be exhausted." Zhuang Yan asked Zhong Zhipeng: "Which book does this sentence come from?"
Zhong Zhipeng said: "The "Controversy of Cao GUI" in "Zuo Zhuan: Ten Years of Duke Zhuang".
Zhuang Yan said: "My classmate is very interested in Chinese culture. He often asked me to ask my friends in China to buy books for him. I think he is just waiting for these people to get tired of scolding him. Believe me, he will give it to everyone later. A little sweet."
Zhong Zhipeng said: "No wonder he speaks Chinese so well..."
Zhuang Yan said: "I taught..."
Zhong Zhipeng: "..."
As Zhuang Yan expected, when Jeffrey got tired of scolding, Qasim did speak.
"Okay...Colonel Jeffrey, I respect and value your opinion very much. I decided to violate the temporary decision of the organizing committee..."
He turned to the support officer next to him and said fiercely: "Go, immediately stop the repairs and maintenance of the shooting range below 400 meters, ask them to stop work, and say that we will immediately provide support services to the national teams. Today, we will not temporarily stop the maintenance of shooting ranges below 400 meters." The shooting range is undergoing maintenance. After everyone has finished training, we will work overtime tonight to complete the maintenance work!"
"Is this okay...Colonel..." The security officer looked embarrassed.
"It's okay if I say yes. I am the specific organizer of the event. If you think there are any problems, you can reserve your opinion, but you must carry out my orders now!"
Qasim spoke righteously and looked upright.
"Yes!" The security officer saluted, turned around and ran away.
Zhuang Yan said to Zhong Zhipeng: "Well, did you see? This is the time for the real performance."
Kasim turned around and said to Jeffrey: "Colonel, many subjects in this competition are within the 400-meter range. You can go to the 400-meter shooting range for training first. I will let them pay attention to the rest of the facilities." After completing the maintenance, I will hand it over to you for your use. Please believe in my sincerity.”
Jeffrey thought for a while and felt that there was really only one way to retire if he continued to fight.
Although he knew that the Kasim in front of him was not trustworthy, compared to withdrawing from the game, Kasim's concession was now acceptable.
"Okay! I don't want to waste time with you here. I hope you are sincere and repair the facilities in other shooting ranges as soon as possible so that we can train early."
After that, he left with his men.
As soon as he left, so did Da Mao.
As soon as Da Mao left, more than a dozen other representative teams also left one after another.
Only the pla team and Kasim were left in the audience.
Kasim smiled and asked Zhuang Yan: "Zhuang, aren't you going to train? Go there early, there aren't many places."
Zhuang Yan applauded a few times and smiled.
"Kasim, have you read the books I gave you all these years?"
Kasim nodded in acquiescence.
Zhuang Yan said: "You have learned so thoroughly."
Qasim smiled and said, "The teacher taught me well."
Zhuang Yan said to Zhong Zhipeng: "Take everyone to the shooting range, start training early, record the ballistics within 400 meters, and then go back."
When Zhong Zhipeng heard this, he was slightly startled: "What about the ballistics at other distances?"
Zhuang Yan said: "There will be no testing opportunities at other distances. Today it will be below 400 meters."
He turned to look at Qasim and asked him in Chinese: "Am I right, my old classmate?"
Qasim didn't answer the question, but the smile on his face answered everything.
