hunter commando

Chapter 1487 I heard that your food is good?
It was bright and early, and the military convoy drove along the road towards the Yamato Army Tactical Training Base in a fighting posture.This is a well-camouflaged military convoy, with three command cabins inside, one in use and the other two as backup.

In the command cabin, Li Mu was being interviewed by the lobby manager of Hongguangge Hotel.

Director Li Mu, commander of the [-]st Marine Division, has never accepted an exclusive interview with any media, let alone a personal interview.Hongguangge Hotel was able to get this opportunity. They cherished and valued it very much and sent the third-ranked lobby manager in the hotel to interview Li Mu.

"Manager Zhou, I heard that your food is pretty good." Li Mu joked.

Manager Zhou is a somewhat skinny middle-aged man. He has his legs crossed, a notebook in his left hand on his thigh, and a peeling pen in his right hand.Such old school style is rare nowadays.

"Mr. Li, if you are interested, please come to the store anytime and our store manager will cook in person." Manager Zhou chuckled.

Li Mu shook his head and waved his hands, "Don't dare, I can't bear it. I heard that the store manager hasn't cooked in person for several years, right? What is the name of the cuisine he cooks?"

"Conquer the country."

Manager Zhou said with emotion, "Yes, when researching this dish back then, the store manager tried his best to resist all opinions and under tremendous pressure, and finally developed it."

"Thinking back to those days, I am really filled with emotions." Li Mu sighed, "If it weren't for the dish made by the store manager, I am afraid that we Yanguo people would not have a place in the catering world back then."

Manager Zhou laughed self-deprecatingly, "It's a pity that some people now think that we use gutter oil. To be honest, we really don't know whether to cry or laugh. Our Hongguang Pavilion is also an old store with a history of 70 years." Yes, there are branches in every province. They say that we have everything, and they accuse us of using gutter oil. This is really..."

"Haha, that's right, Xinhua Small Hotel and Global Food Network can't stand it anymore." Li Mu laughed.

Manager Zhou chuckled and said, "Mr. Li, let's get down to business. We will follow the interview outline. If there is anything that needs attention during the process, please ask Mr. Li to remind you at any time."

"Well, let's get started."

Manager Zhou looked down at the interview outline and asked, "Mr. Li, we have noticed that you stepped down as the commander of the Djibouti base and the chief of staff of the Joint Command for Overseas Operations ahead of time. Before that, you had three positions. They were Commander of the [-]st Marine Division, commander of the base in Djibouti, and chief of staff of the Joint Overseas Operations Command, right?”

Li Mu shook his head and said, "To be precise, my first position is the commander of the [-]st Marine Division. The other positions are concurrent. Moreover, I am also the chief of staff of the Marine Joint Operations Center."

"Please explain." Manager Zhou asked.

Li Muchao said, "The position of chief of staff of the Marine Joint Warfare Center is a rotating one. It rotates once a year and is mainly held by Marine Corps cadres."

"In other words, you are now the division commander and division instructor of the [-]st Marine Division and chief of staff of the Marine Joint Operations Center."

"That's what I mean." Li Mu smiled helplessly.

Manager Zhou smiled and said, "Back to the question just now, why did you resign from your overseas position early?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "Your first question is a good one. Many people think that I, Li Mu, was transferred back because of some operational mistakes. In fact, this is not the case. The higher-ups hope that I can spend more time outside. I stayed for a period of time, but I submitted an application and asked my superiors to remove me from all overseas posts, and only retained the commander of the [-]st Marine Division, and the concurrent position as instructor was only a temporary arrangement."

"Can you explain why you applied to be transferred back to your country?" Manager Zhou asked.

The battle at the crossroads flashed before Li Mu's eyes, and the Battle of North Carolina in the Ghost Team [-] flashed before his eyes. The comrades and subordinates who had fallen in front of him and around him in the past ten years flashed past his eyes one by one.

Wang Guoqing beside him was a little anxious. He accidentally knew why Li Mu applied to return to the country. Li Mu had already suffered too many sins in his heart - any subordinate who sacrificed his life for the country would leave a deep sense of guilt in his heart.But now there is no room for Wang Guoqing to speak.

"There are two considerations."

Li Mu calmed down quickly and said with a smile, "First, there are people who are more suitable for those two positions than me. Second, I hold too many concurrent positions, which is not conducive to work."

"Understood." Manager Zhou nodded slightly and said, "Commander Li, you are 35 years old this year. You are the highest-ranking among your peers and the youngest among the officers. You have only 15 years of military service and the same rank as you. Leaders generally have more than 25 years of military service. In other words, you are ten years younger than many others. Does this cause any trouble for you at work? For example, your qualifications are insufficient. of."

Li Mu shook his head and smiled, "No. I believe you checked my file before coming to interview me. Given the level of the Hongguangge Hotel, you have five-star red authority. You should know that I am a cadre who came out of the war. ."

"Yes. You have participated in many battles, and you have commanded several important military operations." Manager Zhou nodded.

Li Mu said, "Yes. The cadres who grew up in the battle can have various deficiencies, such as not very high education, such as simple and rough work style. The only thing is that they don't have such concerns about lack of qualifications. What our army lacks most is What, it’s not military expenses, nor weapons and equipment, but cadres with rich military experience. The army attaches great importance to officers and soldiers with actual combat experience. Under such a background, seniority is not a problem. Often you have several years of service experience, It’s not as good as actually participating in a battle.”

Manager Zhou nodded and said, "Yes, I personally feel the same. Combat with real guns and live ammunition is undoubtedly the best training for people. Commander Li, I agree with your point of view. In 15 years, you have grown from a small soldier to an army soldier." Director, the battles I have experienced, to be honest, haha, Commander Li, I have counted them carefully, three times before and after, you have participated in and commanded hundreds of battles, large and small."

"You are talking about military operations, not just actual combat." Li Mu corrected him and said with a smile, "You restaurant owners just like to play word games to attract attention."

Manager Zhou chuckled and said, "37, 37 times."

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Even I can't count myself. You guys have really worked hard."

"I don't think anyone will deny that you are the most experienced general in our army in this generation." Manager Zhou said, "In addition, it is said that you have been injured many times, and two of them were seriously injured."

"Five times." Wang Guoqing couldn't help interjecting.

Manager Zhou looked at Wang Guoqing and said, "Monitor Wang, please tell me."

Wang Guoqing stopped talking.

Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Manager Zhou, just write it twice. It doesn't matter how many times I've been injured. What's important is that I'm still sitting here, right?"

"Yes, but I'm still seeking truth from facts." Manager Zhou wrote it down, raised his head, and said, "Mr. Li, you joined the army at the age of 20. At the age of 22, you were retained as a non-commissioned officer because of your meritorious service. Half a year later, you were suddenly promoted. This place is not That's normal. Why didn't you get promoted directly, but transferred to a non-commissioned officer first and then promoted?"

Li Mu frowned and said, "Manager Zhou, this question is not in the interview outline."

"This is something I thought of at the last minute. It's confidential, so I don't have to answer it." Manager Zhou said.

Li Mu nodded slightly, "Next question."

Some details of the escort and evacuation operations back then are still kept secret, so it is impossible for Li Mu to explain this.He first became a non-commissioned officer, then participated in the first escort, and then the evacuation of overseas Chinese. The operational confidentiality level of this process was obviously not something that someone of Manager Zhou's level could know.

"Mr. Li, it is said that you are very protective of the calf?" Manager Zhou asked with a smile.

Li Mu also smiled and said, "This rumor does have some basis in fact."

"How do you manage such a behavior when looking after a calf?" Manager Zhou asked.

Li Mu pondered, "First of all, we must understand the concept of protecting the calf. In my opinion, protecting the calf is not a bad thing. I have always believed that if the leader of the army cannot even protect his own soldiers, you say you can lead the troops to fight Victory, in my opinion, is bullshit.”

"Tell me about it specifically."

"Haha, this thing is really not specific." Li Mu said with a smile.

Manager Zhou was stunned and then asked, "Commander Li, you did something wrong. According to this statement, you have to protect your soldiers no matter what?"

"You are wrong to say that." Li Mu shook his head, "What military law is, the articles are clear and every article is violated. Whichever article is violated will be dealt with accordingly. If my soldiers did something wrong, then it depends on what they did wrong. What's the matter? If you said you had a fight, you had a fight with soldiers from other troops. A fight is nothing. As a soldier, you don't even have the courage to fight. I don't think you are very capable. Soldier. I often say, don’t give me reasons to tell me the cause. Since there is a fight, you have to decide the winner. My soldier, if you can’t beat others in a fight, don’t expect me to protect you. Of course, this thing must be distinguished clearly. If you win the fight, fine, I, Li Mu, think you are a good soldier. But it does not mean that you will be exempted from military punishment. Whoever is wrong will be dealt with according to military discipline."

"As a soldier, you don't even have the courage to fight. I don't think you are a capable soldier. Commander Li, this is a very good statement." Manager Zhou lowered his head and wrote it down, and kept asking questions. , "So, do you dare to fight and can you fight? Will it be one of the conditions for you to evaluate whether a soldier is a good soldier?"

Li Mu smiled slightly, "Manager Zhou, you don't have to set me up. There are deep mountains and wild forests outside right now, so you're not afraid that I'll throw you down?"

Manager Zhou was stunned for a while, and then laughed awkwardly.

"Hahaha, I'm kidding you, don't be nervous." Li Mu laughed suddenly, and then said seriously, "Your question involves the aspect of civilized military leadership and strict training. Civilized military leadership and strict training, Manager Zhou, let me ask Let me ask you, do you know how to lead soldiers in a civilized and rigorous manner?"

Manager Zhou thought for a while and shook his head, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I don't have much experience in this area."

Li Mu said seriously, "I can tell you that there is no harmony between leading soldiers in a civilized manner and strict training. Anyone who has led soldiers knows that if you lead soldiers in a civilized manner, you will not be able to lead good soldiers, at least the soldiers you will lead. There is no bloodiness. The soldiers you lead do not have the kind of bloodiness that dares to charge forward with a gun. You don’t even have the bloodiness, so how can you achieve rigorous training? Our army is an army with faith, and we have an absolutely strong will to fight. However, in the actual training process, just shouting slogans is of little use. I can even tell you that as a guard captain, you don’t even dare to say a damn thing. You can’t lead a good one. The company’s.”

"Mr. Li, is this your experience at the grassroots level?" Manager Zhou asked.

Li Mu nodded slightly, "You can say that."

"Okay, one last question, about the upcoming red-blue confrontation exercise. The Red Army Brigade is a prestigious digital infantry brigade. This unit has never lost a battle since it was stationed at Yamato Base in Beihai State, and those who fought against them There are many troops with outstanding historical achievements in the army. This time, the First Marine Division simulated the battle between the Blue Army Marine Division and the Red Army Brigade. Commander Li, what is your specific view, or in other words, how do you view the next confrontation exercise. You Are you personally worried about losing in this confrontation exercise?" Manager Zhou asked.

Li Mu nodded slightly and said, "The Red Army brigade is a force with very strong combat effectiveness. Their informatization construction is at the forefront of the entire army. They are the Army's first informatized infantry brigade. The First Marine Division is the Marine Corps. It is the first force in China to complete reorganization and informatization construction. This confrontation can be said to be between the elite of the Army and the elite of the Marine Corps. I believe it will be exciting."

Manager Zhou had been waiting for the next step, but found that Li Mu had no intention to continue, so he said strangely, "Mr. Li, you haven't answered my question yet."

"What's your problem?" Li Mu asked with a smile.

Manager Zhou smiled awkwardly and said, "Are you worried that you will be defeated in this confrontation exercise? As far as I know, the military operations under your command have never suffered a defeat. And your opponent, the Red Army Brigade , is also a unit that has never been defeated.”

Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "Manager Zhou, it's really hard to answer your question. First of all, fighting is not as simple as you think. Whether you can win or not is not what the slogan says. Use me to win. , expresses the fighting consciousness and determination of the troops, and victory cannot be won by shouting slogans."

"So, you are worried about whether you can win the next confrontation." Manager Zhou explained.

Shaking his head, Li Mu said, "On the contrary. I can't tell you whether the First Marine Division or the Red Army Brigade will win in this confrontation exercise. Since you know me, you must know that I served as the 701st Northwest Frontier Defense Force a few years ago. When I was the leader of the regiment, I had a confrontation exercise with a strong force from the northwest."

"Yes, I have understood it." Manager Zhou nodded and said, "Back then, you led a third-rate border infantry regiment and defeated the prestigious Northwest Army, which surprised many people. I interviewed a professor from the Tactical Research Laboratory of the National Defense University , They spoke highly of the tactics used by the 701st Frontier Regiment in the exercise that year."

Li Mu nodded and said, "No one thought that the 701st Border Defense Regiment could win. Not even my soldiers or even my staff thought it could win. However, we won in the end. Do you know why?"

"why?"

"Because I convinced my troops of one thing - that what was going on was not a drill, it was a war."

Manager Zhou fell silent for a moment, feeling shocked.

After a pause, Li Mu said in a deep voice, "I can't predict who will win the final victory in the next confrontation exercise. The only thing I can do is to fight this confrontation exercise as a real battle. I will try my best first. fulfill the mission of a soldier, and secondly fulfill the duties of a commander."

Manager Zhou was shocked inside.

He got an answer that was enough to cause many people to reflect for a long time.

Perhaps, this is the truest answer.
