Chapter 238 I See the World as a Chessboard
Military chess is quite interesting. Shen Xingchen has watched others play it before.
He remembered that once, while walking in the park, he saw some old people playing this chess in the park.
He probably knew how to play it, since this was his first time playing military chess.
The two men sat cross-legged on the deck and placed the chessboard on the ground. They placed the blue and red chess pieces on the board respectively.
Shen Xingchen played chess with Old Qi, but Old Qi was indeed not interested in playing chess and his mind was not on the chessboard.
He placed the chess pieces and explained to Shen Xingchen some things about the military.
"The army, division, brigade, regiment, battalion, company and platoon, each has a corresponding role."
"Their chief commander is the commander, and the commander is responsible for every soldier and controls the entire battlefield."
"The commander is the leader of our war pavilion. He has the mission of protecting our homeland and being responsible for every soldier."
"It is glorious to be a soldier. When a soldier defends his country and his territory, he can not only train himself, but also temper his character and guard his mind."
"My dear friend, are you interested in going north and becoming a northern warrior? I can introduce you to a place to hone your character."
Facing Mr. Qi's gaze, Shen Xingchen smiled and shook his head gently.
He is a member of the Shen family, a family of loyal warriors. He must first find out what the final outcome was before planning his future life.
"I don't want to think about this right now. Let's talk about it later." Shen Xingchen retracted his gaze slightly.
After hearing what Shen Xingchen said, Mr. Qi's face suddenly darkened.
"You are such a talented young man, why don't you think about serving the country?"
Shen Xingchen tilted his head back, chuckled and asked, "Mr. Qi, you should know who I am, right?"
With someone of Mr. Qi's status, he should know his own identity. After all, from what he said, we can tell that he is from the War Pavilion.
"Haha, I know you have never been a soldier. Only when you become a soldier can you know your mission."
Old Qi smiled gently, looking towards the sea, in the direction where Xiao Rizi was.
"Become a soldier to serve the motherland. Become a soldier of our Dragon Country to deter foreign enemies and defend our homeland."
Old Qi said that bombs and mines were used to isolate the commander.
"If the leader is in danger and there are no warriors charging, the team will lose command, the scene will be defeated, and the territory will be lost."
"If you want to defend your country, you must become a warrior and keep training in the team until you become a commander of a team!"
Shen Xingchen looked at his commander who had nowhere to go and frowned slightly. If there was no rescue, the commander would have no choice but to wait for death.
His brother was also a commander, and he had an uncle who was a commander-in-chief in the North, but neither of them came back from that battle.
There are only two solutions at the moment!
In this military chess game, only engineers can clear mines, and engineers who clear mines are almost always doomed.
Moreover, Shen Xingchen's engineers are now very scattered, and it is very difficult for them to come back to clear mines and rescue people.
Can't move!
Shen Xingchen smiled slightly and could only transfer the soldiers over.
There is still a chance. As long as the commander is not bombed and hides in the camp, he will not die.
Of course, a trapped commander is equivalent to a dead commander, and we must find a way to rescue him.
Old Qi was not in a hurry to take down the commander, but instead mobilized his generals to surround Shen Xingchen's generals.
"If you don't break the impasse, you will lose your territory." Old Qi reminded.
Shen Xingchen took a deep breath, smiled, and used his brigade commander and division commander to hit the mines one after another.
Seeing how Shen Xingchen played, Old Qi's expression suddenly changed slightly: "You are kidding! Military chess is like a battlefield!"
"Haha." Shen Xingchen chuckled and said, "On the battlefield, brigade commanders and division commanders will also encounter conflicts."
Old Qi frowned slightly and said, "You are being too reckless. If the brigade commander and the division commander were gone, wouldn't the situation be in chaos?"
Shen Xingchen's eyes moved slightly, and his thoughts became a little distracted.
A gleam of determination flashed across his eyes: "In order to defend my mission, not to mention the division commander, even the army commander will not hesitate!"
"In order to defend our country's territory, even the commander will do it without hesitation!"
Mr. Qi's expression changed slightly. He sighed in his heart and continued playing chess.
Shen Xingchen tried his best to break the situation and rescue the commander.
He started to move.
When Mr. Qi saw this scene, his face darkened: "You are just a coward!"
"The commander is the brain of the army. If the commander dies, the entire team will be like losing its mind, and the team will be paralyzed instantly."
Shen Xingchen didn't say anything and continued playing chess with Mr. Qi.
His commander charged into the battlefield, and without the hindrance of mines, he killed people everywhere.
The battle situation instantly turned one-sided in favor of Shen Xingchen, and Old Qi was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
He immediately mobilized the division commander to join the battle, but it was like an ant trying to shake a tree, and it was unable to change the situation at all.
Shen Xingchen's workers rushed down and directly pulled out the last landmine and pulled out Qi Lao's military flag.
Old Qi's face suddenly changed. He lost. He lost to a young man?
He couldn't accept it. How could he lose?
Seeing Mr. Qi’s unconvinced expression, Shen Xingchen smiled faintly, stood up, walked to the deck, and looked at the vast ocean.
"Master Qi, it's not that my military chess skills are better than yours, but that your commander was reluctant to go out. That's why you lost to me."
Old Qi looked at the pulled-down military flag and muttered to himself.
"How can the commander go out at will? If the commander is gone, the entire team will lose cohesion and its combat effectiveness will be weakened."
In a real battlefield, the commander cannot be dispatched at will. After all, if the commander dies, how can the battle continue?
However, in today's wars, those who can become drivers are top-level fighters and can play an immeasurable role on the battlefield.
"As a commander, he is the soul of the army. He is determined to sacrifice his life for the country! If his charge can save more lives and help win the war, then he will certainly do it without hesitation."
Shen Xingchen's eyes were firm. Perhaps his family knew that this war would cause them to lose their lives, and they would not hesitate.
Defending the country is their mission!
Every inch of land is soaked in blood. As the gods of war of the Dragon Kingdom, they have the mission to uphold!
but!
As relatives, he would never let their deaths be in vain. They could die fighting for their country, but they must not die in obscurity!
Shen Xingchen took a deep breath, then exhaled heavily, then turned and looked at Mr. Qi.
"Besides, this is just a game of chess. Mr. Qi thinks too highly of the commander, which has become a burden on you."
“Only by letting go of the burden in your heart can you better see the overall situation and let every chess piece play its due role!”
Shen Xingchen's state of mind was sublimated at this moment, and he was only one step away from reaching the realm of grandmaster.
A sense of determination emerged in his heart, and a heroic word came out immediately.
"I see the world as a chessboard, and everyone in the world is just a chess piece on my chessboard!"
