The Strongest Soldier: From Being Specially Recruited into the Army

Chapter 94: Differences! (Subscribe)
Seeing his comrades looking at him cluelessly, Su Chen frowned and pondered...

The only thing he was thankful for now was that this map was not hand-drawn like the one in the TV series "Special 1" that he had seen in his previous life. If it was a hand-drawn map, Su Chen would really be helpless.

Su Chen stared at the map, and began to think about the representative and most impressive places he had passed during the previous half hour of detour.

Suddenly, Su Chen's eyes lit up, and he looked up at his comrades, "Do you remember that when we came here, there was a small lake?"

Jiang Cheng nodded, "Remember!"

Major Shen Hang looked at Su Chen in sudden realization, "You mean..."

Seeing Su Chen nod, Shen Hang quickly turned on the flashlight and shone it on the map. He checked it carefully, and rubbed his finger upwards from the place where they climbed the mountain. Finally, he pointed at a small lake mark on the map and said in a deep voice:
"right here!"

Yan Ziqiang seemed to have understood Su Chen's intention, and he asked:

"Chen'er, do you want to re-plan the route to Lone Eagle Ridge based on the information you already know?"

"That's right!"

Su Chen nodded and pointed at the map, saying, "Look, the route arranged by the instructors and the photos in the intelligence are completely inconsistent. If we continue to follow this route, I have a strong feeling that it will end up as a dead end!"

"But if we re-plan the route, how can we guarantee that we can find the way to Lone Eagle Ridge?"

At this time, a team member raised a question. He was a corporal. He frowned and expressed a different opinion: "I think it is not appropriate to re-plan the route. At present, it is certain that the intelligence is wrong, but we also have no evidence to prove whether it is the reference of the photo or the route! If the photo is fake, then we made a mistake in judgment, and we have to take too many wrong routes?"

As soon as the corporal expressed his opinion, another team member agreed with him.

Another team member said, "Yes! This is a vast mountain with an area of ​​more than 600 square kilometers. If we make a mistake in re-planning the route, who knows what detours we will take. Isn't this too risky?!"

What the two team members said made sense. Yan Ziqiang, Jiang Cheng and Shen Hang also looked at Su Chen.

"I think it's impossible that the photo is wrong!" Su Chen shook his head firmly.

Seeing everyone looking at him in confusion, Su Chen explained: "The third item in the mission intelligence says this: Cuiya Mountain is a primitive jungle. Based on the currently known intelligence, it is roughly determined that the most likely place for Scar Rat and his men to hide is Lone Eagle Ridge. Based on this, a safer route is marked on the map for us!

"Everyone, please pay attention to this 'based on known intelligence'. The following words are all the headquarters' judgment, including the planned route!
"On the contrary, the photo is included in the mission briefing and is one of the accurate intelligence.

"To sum up, I think the inference that the photo is wrong is impossible!"

They were not filming a TV series, and Su Chen's judgment was not entirely based on the so-called intuition or sixth sense. That thing was too unreliable. Facing the reasonable doubts raised by his two teammates, Su Chen should have made his own judgment.

Su Chen's analysis also attracted the approval of most people.

"I still disagree." The corporal shook his head. "What you said may make sense, but we have no reason to question the plan formulated by professional instructors. They are veterans who have fought in actual combat. Isn't their judgment less accurate than ours?"

The subtext of his words was that compared to Su Chen's analysis, he believed in the instructors' professionalism more.

"Did you let them train themselves silly?!" The corporal had just finished speaking when Yan Ziqiang looked at him speechlessly.

Jiang Cheng asked back: "Have they lied to us less?"

"That's different!" The corporal shook his head stubbornly, with a sense of his own reasoning, "It was training before, but this time it's a simulated war exercise. Exercises are real combat, that's what they always say! Can they really harm their comrades in real combat?! Anyway, I don't think it's appropriate to re-plan the route!"

There is a disagreement!
Su Chen rubbed his eyebrows with a headache. He was afraid of this situation.

Because everything he has said so far is based on the interpretation of intelligence, and he does not have any substantial evidence that can completely convince people.

"Corporal, let's all take a vote and let the minority obey the majority. What do you think?"

At this time, Major Shen Hang stood up and proposed, and then, without waiting for the corporal's agreement, he continued:

"If you agree with the captain's point of view, please raise your hands!"

As he spoke, Shen Hang raised his hand to show that he stood on Su Chen's side.

Jiang Cheng and Yan Ziqiang also raised their hands. After hesitating for a moment, two other team members also raised their hands.

Now there were only three team members left, led by a corporal.

Shen Hang glanced at several team members including Su Chen, and said to the corporal: "The six people who agreed with the captain's plan, the minority should obey the majority!" "It doesn't make sense for the minority to obey the majority!" The corporal clearly did not want to implement Su Chen's plan.

Yan Ziqiang was a little impatient. "No, buddy, why are you so stubborn? Why doesn't this make sense? Isn't it a rule since ancient times that the minority obeys the majority? And Chen'er is the captain. What did you say before the training camp? Unconditional obedience to orders. This is not allowed, and that is not allowed. What do you want?!"

As for the corporal's temper, in Northeastern dialect, he is stubborn and one-track-minded. This kind of temper is quite irritating.

Jiang Cheng, Shen Hang and others also looked at the corporal with some annoyance.

Compared to Su Chen's well-reasoned analysis, this corporal is just damn stubborn and insists on believing in the instructors' judgment. It's amazing that two people agree with his stupid idea. Otherwise, how can Qin Hui have two friends? This guy is undeniable!

The corporal took a deep breath. "You can't change my opinion, and I don't agree with yours. How about this, let's split up into two groups! The three of us will continue along the original route. In the end, we will all meet at Lone Eagle Ridge anyway!"

Split into two groups?!
The corporal's words startled Yan Ziqiang, Jiang Cheng, Shen Hang and the others. The operation hadn't even started yet, and they were already separating. What was going on? !
"Are you sure you don't want to work with us?" Finally, Su Chen, who had been silent all this time, spoke and asked in a deep voice.

"Captain, we have different opinions now." The corporal shrugged his shoulders, implying that I don't agree with your plan at all.

Su Chen looked at him deeply and said, "Haha, OK, let's split up into two groups!"

Su Chen's words stunned Shen Hang and others. They obviously did not expect that Su Chen, as the captain, would agree to split the troops into two groups so quickly and decisively!
.........

Just like that, Su Chen and his team were separated from the other three team members led by a corporal.

After separating, Su Chen and others began to turn back and walk towards the lake they came from. They had to go back first, and then find the corresponding key points on the map based on the details in the photos in the intelligence and re-plan a route.

"Oh! Walking back, we spent half an hour in vain!" Shen Hang complained.

Yan Ziqiang smiled, "That's fine. Sometimes actions are like life. It's not terrible to take the wrong path during the process. On the contrary, it's a pity to go all the way to the end and find out that you took the wrong path at the end! This is what we call, success or failure, life is heroic, the worst that can happen is to start all over again!"

Jiang Cheng complained: "Is this how you use Liu Huan's lyrics?"

"Isn't it?" Yan Ziqiang asked disapprovingly, and then noticed Su Chen walking in front of him. "Chen'er, why did you agree to split the troops into two groups so readily? Why didn't you try harder?"

Su Chen in front heard this and said with a smile: "In our Northeast, there is a saying that it is better to fight with a smart person than to argue with a fool. From the moment he said that the instructor could still deceive us, I knew that this person could not be persuaded, so forget it! We are short on time and have a heavy task. How can I have the time to wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep?!"

"That's right..." Yan Ziqiang nodded. It made sense.

Just as he had just said to the corporal, hadn't these instructors lied to them enough?!

But Su Chen saw more deeply than him.

War is never a joke. The corporal said it right: exercises are wars. So, is the intelligence in wars necessarily accurate? People are also responsible for setting the route, and as long as they are human, mistakes will occur.

People who are too dependent on others and don't know how to analyze and make decisions on their own, are these the kind of people that special forces really need?
Su Chen couldn't figure out the instructors' thoughts, but he believed that in addition to strong physical fitness and military skills, if one wanted to join the special forces, one should also have an independent combat mindset, rather than just obeying orders from superiors like regular troops.

At this moment, a flash of lightning flashed across the distant night sky like a spider web.

After a few seconds, there was a muffled thunder, causing the team members to look up.

"What terrible weather!" Shen Hang said worriedly, "It looks like it's going to rain tonight!"

"The weather is not good!"

Indeed, what awaits them will be a day and night wilderness march. In these vast mountains, once it starts to rain, it will undoubtedly have a significant impact on their marching speed. The stuffy weather at this time also makes the soldiers feel as if a layer of haze has been cast over their hearts!

…………

training base.

Judging from the satellite aerial footage, the corporal and others had a disagreement with Su Chen. As they walked along the preset route alone, Gao Yi sighed, "Another soldier who follows the rules!"

Lin Yudong asked: "Feihu, they are almost reaching our preset ambush point."

Gao Yi hummed, and said helplessly: "I saw it..."
