Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 460: Eagle and Snail

In front of the console, Li Lan continued to choose to build an amphibious dock landing ship and two fast combat support ships among other naval units, and then chose to build four air-cushion landing craft.

By the time he left, the daily capital consumption of the base had reached three million.According to the daily normal mining income of the base, it would not take a few days before he would go bankrupt.

However, this situation is no longer possible. Starting tomorrow, the import of refined iron ore will resume, and the capital income will soon recover to more than five million yuan per day.

After leaving the console, he did not return to the office, but returned to his room, and again put on the commander marshal uniform that was exclusive to him.

Today is the day when the Somali military officially opened the school. The college has all enrolled. In order to show the government's importance to the military school, he will personally preside over the opening ceremony.

Located at the junction of Laguda Bay and Bagua City, at the confluence of the Persian Gulf tidal return and tropical warm current, it is well-known by Somali fishermen for its dangerous sea conditions and undercurrent reefs.On the edge of this bay, a triangular convex land was used. After two years of construction, a college surrounded by walls was officially completed.

The entire college is not completely enclosed. The side facing the sea is open. Only the iron fence prevents pedestrians from accidentally falling into the water.The gate faces south. Like many building names, in addition to a row of Somali characters, there is also a row of Chinese characters.Somali National Defense Forces Military Academy-ten shining pale gold fonts shone dazzlingly under the sun.

When the time came to ten o'clock in the morning, the students who had already entered the school had completed their first exercises at eight o'clock. After a brief understanding of the instructors, the time for the first school opening ceremony was also approaching.

Some of the 3,000 students enrolled in the first batch came to colleges and universities, and some were directly transferred from colleges. There were men and women.These three thousand students.It is selected from tens of thousands of applicants. In addition to academic performance, they must have certain physical qualities.

Regardless of their previous studies, they are all the same now, they are all cadets of the military academy.And their instructors are all officers from the front-line troops of the Red Police Corps, and some of them have applied for transfer.Some were discharged because of injuries.But one thing is the same. Every instructor here is beaten out of blood.When the two kinds of people who are not in the same dimension meet, just a look from the instructor will make these students shudder.

The military academy’s rules are very strict, and the 24 school rules customized by the school are no worse than the West Point Military Academy.Of course, the two rules also have basic similarities.

Every student who enters this military academy will automatically become a member of the Somali National Defense Forces.The Somali National Defence Force is the name of the Somali army announced by Li Lan and is a regular Somali combat force.There are the National Defence Forces reserve forces and the National Defense Forces garrison units, and to the outside world, the Red Police Corps is directly called the Somali National Defense Forces.

These students will join the Red Police Corps as soon as they graduate.Not to enter the garrison.Therefore, Li Lan attaches such importance to them.

Building a military academy is not because he has nothing to do and waste of money, but because he hopes to select more outstanding personnel to join the military.At the same time, this is also an explanation to the Somali people, so that they can have more thoughts.And the construction of the military academy is not limited to this one, there are three other military academies.There are the Army Command Academy, Air Force Pilots, and Naval Ship Academy. In the future, more arms academies will be established, such as the Armored Forces Academy, Submarine Academy, and Missile Force Academy.

The military academy opened today is a comprehensive command academy.The aim is to cultivate a group of students with comprehensive command capabilities, who will join the Red Police Corps and become basic commanders as fresh blood in the future.

It's ten one.Three thousand students and the assembly was completed. On the playground surrounded by boulevards, three thousand people waited silently for Li Lan's arrival.Today’s school opening ceremony is not open to the public, so no reporters can enter the college.

Li Lan was very punctual and did not keep the students waiting. Accompanied by Natasha, he walked up to the height of the school. As the Somali national anthem sounded, the four flags were slowly raised at the same time.One Somali national flag, and the other three are the military flags representing the Somali navy, army and air forces.It also means that the professional knowledge of the armed forces will be imparted here.

Of course, in this military academy, these students will also enjoy hell-like training, in order to enable them to match the combat literacy of the Red Police Corps soldiers.

Some people may ask, now it’s all information-based warfare, using advanced weapons and equipment, and you will have to use computers in the future. If a commander has the opportunity to conduct battlefield command on the basis of learning to use these weapons, wars like those in the past , Such as street fighting, encounter battle, gun-to-gun war will still exist?

Once a soldier told the instructor who trained them to shoot, what is the use of practicing shooting, now they are all high-tech, artillery, missiles, etc. to fight.The instructor said, as long as you kill the enemy with one shot, so that he can't launch missiles, it's fine.

It is important to master information-based weapons to fight in the context of informationization, but basically the same as street fighting cannot be lost... The US military is sufficiently informationized. After the invasion of Iraq, it will eliminate armed personnel who resisted, and there will be many scenes of street fighting in the end.Although advanced military weapons can provide precise positioning and strikes, advanced military equipment cannot replace all...

Teaching soldiers' combat abilities is also training their mental qualities. The combat literacy of a commander, especially the combat literacy of a basic-level commander, more often determines what kind of results the soldiers under his command can achieve.

In Li Lan's eyes, there are fewer than 1,000 of the three thousand students who can truly graduate from the college.Because once the academic and training do not meet the standards, they will be ruthlessly eliminated and return to their original school.

This cannot be said that Li Lan is too harsh, but a powerful force, and the better the commanders at the grassroots level.A strategist is very valuable, but those grassroots officers who thoroughly implement the strategy are the factors that determine the success or failure of the strategy.

If these students can't catch up with the quality of the red police soldiers and the basic-level officers and soldiers in their training and learning, then Li Lan can do nothing else.From the very beginning, he always wanted to keep improving, but he needed one better soldier instead of ten soldiers.Especially for regular combat troops, the word elite has always been the standard.

Stepping onto the podium in the national anthem, Li Lan slowly scanned the neat team on the playground, watching all the young students in military uniforms, there was no pride in his heart.If all the colleges in front of him can graduate successfully, then he will have the idea of ​​pride.

After the national anthem was over, the four flags rose to the top of the flagpole.

The playground fell silent again. At this time, Tan Ya, who was the principal of the military academy, also stepped onto the podium, standing right and left behind Li Lan with Natasha.

"There is a story that there are only two animals that can reach the top of the pyramid. One is the eagle, which flew up with its own talent and wings. I believe that in my eyes, there are many eagle-like characters and many students. Learning does not need to be too hard to reach the peak. Many students may easily go abroad to enter Harvard, Yale, Oxford, Cambridge and other prestigious universities for further study after graduating from the original school.

Therefore, talented people are like eagles.However, everyone knows that there is another animal that has also reached the top of the pyramid.That is the snail.The snail can only climb up.It may take a month, two months, or even a year or two to climb from the bottom to the top.At the top of the pyramid, people did find traces of snails.I believe that snails will never climb up smoothly. They will fall, climb, fall, and climb again.

However, what we need to know is that as long as the snail climbs to the top of the pyramid, the world it sees in its eyes and its achievements are exactly the same as the eagle.So, maybe some of our students are eagles and some are snails.All the time, including to this day, I have always thought that I am a snail.But I have been climbing, maybe not to the top of the pyramid.But as long as you are crawling, it is enough to leave yourself a day that touches your life."

There was no speech draft, nor did he say anything about military affairs. On the podium, Li Lan just casually told a little story, a little story that many people have heard of.

Maybe it was a little out of focus, and it didn't fit the serious atmosphere of the scene, but the effect was very good. After Li Lan finished telling this story, the applause immediately rang through the entire academy, including the instructors.

This is a very interesting story, and the truth is very simple, but in this simple truth, it has aroused the resonance of everyone.There are only four words in everything, and that is unremitting efforts.

Dreams may have an end, but efforts are endless. The reason why mankind has everything today is due to this unremitting effort for the future.No matter which industry or type it is, the so-called three hundred and sixty lines are the top picks, and the top picks are unremitting efforts.

This story is a powerful inspiration for these students who have just arrived in a new environment.Especially at the end, Li Lan took herself as an example and told every student that she was also an ordinary person.As long as they are like that snail, they will reach his place one day.

At the same time, Li Lan was also telling herself that there are more peaks for him to challenge in the future, but now there is just a new starting point, and the true peak is still higher.
