He immediately smiled and said, “Thank you for your love, leaders. It seems that I will not only learn a lot from this observation trip, but I will also be able to meet many interesting friends.”

“Haha, no problem. I’ll bring you in now to have a look at the Third MR.”

The forthright Company Commander Zhang waved his hand, and the guards in front of the gate immediately separated. The heavy gate was opened, and the two leaders, Wu Mo, and Sun quickly followed them inside.

The military region was a place for the soldiers of the Nine Provinces to recuperate, fight, and learn. At the same time, it also bore the burden of supporting the war zone at any time.

There were generals who made plans and stratagems, as well as brave soldiers who killed the enemy. Although it was only the Third Military Region in North China, it housed an endless stream of living forces. They silently shouldered the responsibility of working with the major battle zones.

There were major areas such as the headquarters, the Political Department, the Logistics Department, the training field, and so on. It was able to accommodate nearly 100,000 soldiers.

There were high walls at the edge of the military area, and its interior was like an independent society. Since there were aircraft, artillery, and other equipment inside, it was highly confidential. There was a guard every five steps and a sentry every ten steps. It was almost impossible to enter unless one was related personnel.

However, with Company Commander Zhang and Deputy Company Commander Ren Bin leading the way, Wu Mo’s journey was almost unimpeded. He had also received the t.i.tle of Scientific Research Paragon. He was also respected by many when the staff checked his ID.

After they completely entered the military area, there were no more sentries around.

Looking at the rows of modern tanks and armored vehicles parked on both sides of the street not far away, Wu Mo felt very excited as a blacksmith.

These armored vehicles and modern tanks not only relied on the best modern technology but also used a lot of forging technology.

That allowed the tanks to run smoothly in extreme cold or heat. Moreover, the speed of the armored vehicles did not decrease due to their weight.

Looking at the s.h.i.+ny armored vehicles, Wu Mo could not help but sigh in his heart. Compared with other disaster-stricken countries, the Nine Provinces could be regarded as the light of mankind.

They had always held the front line and never let the people of the Nine Provinces suffer the disaster of the Ten Thousand Races’ invasion.

“These are combat vehicles developed by our military region. Not only can they perform well in all kinds of situations, but their defensive capabilities are also excellent. It’s just that there aren’t many of them currently being ma.s.s-produced. Only the elite troops can use them.”

Company Commander Zhang, who was standing at the side, noticed that Wu Mo seemed to be very interested in them, so he smiled and explained.

Hearing this, Wu Mo nodded in realization. If combat vehicles with excellent defensive capabilities were to appear on the battlefield against the Ten Thousand Races next time, their army would be able to display a greater advantage.

The increase in the speed of armored vehicles meant that the delay in the transportation of materials in the future would no longer be a problem on the battlefield.

These two innovative inventions could make them more active on the battlefield and allow them to be more at ease in the face of unexpected situations.

As a blacksmith, Wu Mo naturally understood what such innovative equipment meant to the cultivators on the front line.

With that thought, he looked at the latest armored vehicles with a solemn look.

These were all real works that could make Nine Provinces more stable and powerful. They must have combined the painstaking efforts of many scientists and master blacksmiths.

To be able to use one’s own abilities to make the country stronger and protect every inch of the country’s land was undoubtedly the highest honor for every blacksmith.

However, the only thing that Wu Mo could present at the moment was the undeveloped Invisibility Armor.

“Let’s go. I’ll take you to the drill site to familiarize you with it in advance.”

Ren Bin, the deputy company commander, saw Wu Mo’s realization, and a trace of appreciation flashed through his face.

He spoke softly with a smile, and Wu Mo instantly snapped out of his state of enlightenment.

He replied apologetically, “I’m sorry, I was in a daze for a moment—”

Before Wu Mo could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Company Commander Zhang.

“Those who partic.i.p.ate in this exercise are all our friends. There’s no need to be restrained. Let’s go.”

As Company Commander Zhang spoke, he walked forward with a smile.

Wu Mo welcomed the commander’s friendly gaze and immediately followed him.

“Little Sun, you can carry on with your work. I’ll make arrangements for the rest,” Ren Bin turned his head and said to Sun Siqin, who was following him.

The latter immediately nodded and left in the opposite direction.

Company Commander Zhang and Deputy Company Commander Ren Bin soon arrived at their destination with Wu Mo. The military exercise would be held the day after tomorrow.

It was a place with a complicated terrain and a vast area.

The entire military exercise location covered an area of more than 10 kilometers. The simulated terrains consisted of deserts, gra.s.slands, mountains, trenches, and so on. There were also hidden jungles and mountains.

The soldiers would be divided into two teams—red and blue—and their strongholds would be set up on both ends of the drill area. Once all the people in one team were eliminated, the exercise would end, and the remaining team would win.

The actual combat practice tested the teams’ tactical arrangement, as well as the ability of the commander in the rear to take charge of the overall situation.

Many problems that did not appear on the battlefield would be magnified infinitely in actual combat exercises. It not only improved the physical fitness of the soldiers but also increased their tactical awareness.

Looking at the gra.s.sland before him and the continuous jungles, as well as mountains that blocked his vision in the distance, Wu Mo had a general understanding of the battlefield.

After learning the rules, he had great expectations for the exercise that would take place the day after tomorrow.

“These are the battle zones that we built eight years ago. For so long, hundreds of tactics such as our lightning a.s.sault and seizing control of key points have been born from constant combat exercises,” Company Commander Zhang explained in a gentle tone as he looked at the green mountains far away.

Deputy Company Commander Ren Bin looked around and found that the monitoring and information transmission functions had been set up. He immediately nodded in satisfaction.

At this moment, there were still many people standing in the exercise area. Most of them were staff members in the military. Of course, there were also many leaders in charge of related work.

When those leaders saw Company Commander Zhang and Deputy Company Commander Ren Bin explaining the relevant matters of the combat exercise to a young man in his 20s, they immediately revealed a trace of surprise in their eyes.

Company Commander Zhang was known for his selflessness. Only those who had made outstanding contributions to the theater of operations or the country could get his preferential treatment.

Normally, even if his subordinates made a mistake, they would be criticized. They would be punished and made to reflect on their mistakes without any protection.

He would only treat older researchers with a friendly att.i.tude.

They did not expect Company Commander Zhang to treat a young man in his early 20s so nicely and even call him an honored guest of the Third Military Region.
