Chapter 1933 Don’t Take It Seriously

Xie Zhenqi was just about to give an order to notify all troops not to pay attention to the condolence delegation and to set off immediately on time.

Xie Zhensheng next to him suddenly asked: "Which five troops are there with the consolation delegation?"

The staff officer was about to reply, but Xie Zhensheng shook his head again and said, "Tell me, has the Haizhou Garrison District sent a consolation delegation?"

The staff officer thought for a moment and said, "Reporting to the commander, there has been no report from Haizhou regarding the presence of a consolation delegation."

No?

Xie Zhensheng turned to look at Xie Shengchen, who smiled at him.

Xie Zhenqi also began to react. He said in surprise, "Could it be..."

Xie Zhensheng smiled and said, "You have already agreed that the headquarters and the director team will not interfere with the military exercise, so you must strictly implement it!"

Then he said to the staff officer: "Closely monitor the movements of all troops, especially those in Haizhou."

"Ok."

The staff officer nodded immediately and left quickly.

As soon as midnight passed, the staff officer came to report: "Report to the commander, the five troops sent to the condolence group did not leave in time because the performance was not over yet, and they were embarrassed to refuse the goodwill of the military region and the enthusiasm of the masses. In addition, the troops in Haizhou have already set out and are heading straight to the exercise site at full speed."

After hearing this report, Xie Zhensheng and Xie Shengchen all burst into laughter, but Xie Zhenqi's expression turned a little ugly.

Xie Zhensheng said: "You are wrong again. Liu Fusheng and Zehua are not the kind of people who want to take advantage of others. They are clearly using all means to grab this first battle."

Xie Zhenqi sighed, "They are really brave."

In fact, Xie Zhenqi knew his son very well. Given Xie Zehua's character, if Liu Fusheng hadn't instigated him, he would have only played it safe and would certainly not have fought hard for this first battle.

Given the current situation, the sudden appearance of a consolation and encouragement team at the base of the five troops was clearly the brainchild of Liu Fusheng and Xie Zehua.

Their goal was to slow down the marching speed of the five teams so that the Haizhou Garrison District could arrive at the training ground first and confront the Blue Army.

Liu Fusheng and Xie Zehua want to fight one against nine and achieve complete victory.

Regardless of the final outcome, just this kind of courage made Xie Zhenqi unable to help but nod secretly in his heart.

But on the surface, he would never show it.

Xie Zhenqi said coldly, "Zehua has been led astray by Liu Fusheng. He is plotting against friendly forces before the battle even begins. How disgraceful! Second uncle, big brother, let's take a break first. We will go directly to the exercise site tomorrow morning. By then, I will definitely criticize Zehua and Liu Fusheng."

Xie Shengchen said, "Are you so sure that the troops we will see tomorrow morning must be Zehua's troops? Even if the visiting performance group can delay the time, it cannot affect the overall situation. The troops closer to the training ground may catch up and overtake Zehua and his men."

Xie Zhenqi said: "Zehua is risking criticism to get the first move. They will definitely rush forward with all their strength. If they scheme against their allies and still can't get first place, won't they become a joke?"

In fact, Liu Fusheng's arrangements were one thing after another, and it was definitely not just about visiting the performance troupe...

The purpose of the consolation performance troupe is to allow Xie Zehua's troops to set off first and thus seize the initiative.

In addition to the performance troupe, Liu Fusheng had more arrangements. For example, the other teams also encountered various situations.

Some encountered a large group of wild animals on the road, some had to stop because of traffic accidents, and some encountered road maintenance and were delayed for several hours.

In short, all the troops that were close to the training ground encountered various situations.

The next day, Zhao Qiumin got up early and went to the exercise command center to attend the director team's meeting.

At this time, Xie Zhenqi, Xie Zhensheng, Xie Shengchen and others were all waiting for him in the conference room.

Xie Zhenqi said: "Qiu Ming, you came quite early. It's a pity that your first opponent hasn't arrived yet... Who do you think will arrive at the exercise site first?"

Zhao Qiuming smiled and said, "Need I say that? Of course it's the three teams closest to the exercise base! They have two teams, both of which are fast-moving troops."

"The marching speed of this group of people is faster than that of other brother troops. In addition to the advantage of distance, I feel that they are a bit slow for not arriving yet. According to their previous speed, they should arrive at the exercise site before dawn."

After hearing this, Xie Zhenqi couldn't help but smile.

Xie Zhensheng said: "Brigade Commander Zhao, do you think it is possible for the troops from the Haizhou Garrison District to arrive first?"

"Ah? Haizhou?"

Zhao Qiuming was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. Commander Xie's troops are good at positional warfare and have a lot of heavy weapons. Their marching speed must be slow. In addition, they are not far from the exercise site, so they have no advantage. The three mobile troops I mentioned, even if they travel around and have a hot pot on the way, will arrive earlier than them!"

Xie Zhensheng smiled and said, "Those troops that should have arrived a long time ago have never arrived. Don't you want to think about what happened? I have to remind you that Secretary Liu Fusheng has now joined the Chaozhou Garrison's exercise troops as a military reporter!"

Zhao Qiu Ming heard this and grinned, "Old Chief, are you teasing me? Even if Liu Fusheng joins Brigade Commander Xie's troops, so what? Can he make Brigade Commander Xie's troops grow wings and fly to us?"

Xie Zhensheng laughed without explaining anything.

Xie Zhenqi said: "Qiu Ming, don't be so confident."

Zhao Qiuming smiled and said, "Commander, do you also believe that Brigade Commander Xie can arrive first? If the Haizhou Garrison District is really capable of arriving at the exercise site before the three motorized troops, I will take the initiative to give up Hill No. 1 and hand over the defense of my left half to him!"

Xie Zhenqi frowned and said, "Don't be so reckless and talk nonsense."

Zhao Qiu Ming patted his chest and said, "A real man's words are as good as his deeds. There is no such thing as joking in the army. I'm sure I can do what I say..."

Before he finished speaking, a communicator suddenly trotted in, stood at attention and saluted, "Reporting to all the leaders, Brigade Commander Xie Zehua of the Haizhou Garrison has led his troops to the exercise site first. They are gathering and waiting, and Brigade Commander Xie is also on his way to the headquarters!"

"What?"

The room became quiet in an instant.

Zhao Qiuming stared with disbelief, "Impossible! How can they be so fast? No! What are the other troops doing? Why are they so slow!"

Xie Zhenqi laughed loudly: "Commander Zhao, if you give up Hill No. 1, then the positions around you will probably become sitting ducks. You've already lost half the battle before you even start it!"

Zhao Qiuming grinned and said, "I, I was just joking, Commander, please don't take it seriously!"
