2449 Make Everyone Proud
After the exercise ended, Ye Jian slowed down her pace. Even the sharpness in her eyes disappeared. She only smiled calmly. "I thought that I would fail, but I believed in the abilities of the technical students. I figured we might as well give it a try and challenge ourselves. It wouldn't matter if we failed. After all, we can find the root of the problem from failure.
"Success means change, progress, and breakthrough. Failure means discovery, and success means victory. Hence, whether we fail or not, we aren't at a disadvantage. The existence of exercises is to 'discover' and 'win'."
The existence of exercises was to 'discover' and 'win'…
The commander-in-chief of the blue team thought long and hard about this sentence. Gradually, his expression became more and more solemn.
He realized that he was different from Ye Jian. He participated in the exercise for the sake of determining the winner and loser, while Ye Jian fought for the sake of 'discovery' and 'winning'!
The former was conservative while the latter was innovative!
Information warfare didn't need to be conservative. It needed to be innovative!
Just now, he was relieved that the blue team won this exercise. Now, he knew that he had lost. He lost completely.
When they reached the main tent, the commander-in-chief of the blue team said, "On the surface, we did win. However, I feel ashamed. The blue team still lost."
The leader in the military tent couldn't help but look at Ye Jian. This female student's influence… was extraordinary!
She was able to make the winning party feel ashamed.
However, it was true. Although the blue team won, they lost. The leaders thought so too.
Based on Ye Jian's 'military deception' strategy, the conservative strategy of the blue team made them lose. Just like Ye Jian said, the exercise was not about winning or losing. The exercise itself was a risk. Discovery, innovation, change, improvement… This was the meaning of the exercise.
Failure meant discovery. Success meant victory…
Ye Jian's sentence later became a quote for every first-year student of the National Science University. It was passed from the fourth-year students who graduated to the first-year students. It would become a tradition in the future.
Those leaders who didn't think highly of Ye Jian's strategy and even thought that she was bold felt their faces burning.
Even a student had such a broad perspective. As leaders, they were still guarding their goal of 'winning'. They didn't even think of innovating or challenging…
Their awareness was not even comparable to a student!
The three-day exercise ended very quickly. That night, the train brought the freshmen and third-year students back to school.
In the carriages, the students were still discussing the exercise in detail. Ye Jian was the one who was mentioned the most among the third-year students. It was difficult for the third-year students to win, but even though they won, they weren't too happy about it.
During the exercise, the third-year students who fought with Ye Jian were in the most authoritative positions to speak on this matter. He Qun told his comrades seriously, "Ye Jian's skills are quite impressive. I lost to her in less than three minutes. She can fight and command, and she's only a first-year junior!"
The entire carriage fell into silence. Only the rumbling of the train could be heard.
The ten seniors who supported the first-year students also had the right to speak, especially when they mentioned that Ye Jian was the one who proposed the establishment of the 'pseudo-base station'. Later, when the brigade commander praised her, she even pushed all the credit to them. This behavior made the third-year students in the carriage admire her even more.
