51 Becoming a Machinery Engineer Again (1/2)

Laughing, Compton said to Tian Xing Jian, ”First Lieutenant, since there is an input and an output from the analysis you did on the data of the plans, then just explain it to the rest of them to placate their feelings. I shall not dabble in this matter anymore.”

Glaring at that major, Compton immediately turned around and walked away.

Starting to feel restless after the director walked out, the people from the 2nd Research Unit in the office shouted out, ”That’s right! Clearly explain how you got your results!”

”If you don’t explain it carefully, then you should just get ready to kowtow and admit your mistake!”

Thinking that their director had silently approved of their actions, looks of sneers and ridicule formed on their faces as they waited for the first lieutenant to make a fool out of himself.

Tian Xing Jian projected the map of New Rome within his computer before asking these people, ”Will all of you kowtow and admit your mistakes if my words are correct?”

That major and Ke Lun looked at each other before resolutely replying after hearing the encouragement from the other staff officers. ”Certainly!”

”Very well!” Tian Xing Jian did not want to tangle himself with this group of brats. Pointing to the simulated map displayed on the computer screen, he explained, ”Do you see this particular enemy base located at about 200 kilometers perpendicular to the defense line from Point E to point H?”

The staff officers from the 2nd Research Unit looked over, and their expressions immediately changed. The location pointed at was a temporary Imperial armored division base. According to intelligence, this division was currently reorganizing themselves; however, this particular location was only 200 kilometers away from the lateral direction of the defense lines of New Rome with the area in between being flat ground. With just two hours, this group of soldiers could definitely enter the battlefield. It was completely impossible for a fully mechanized reinforced infantry regiment to obstruct this armored division for an hour!

Hugging his upper arm, Fatty looked towards those staff officers, whose expressions had changed, as he laughed mischievously. ”If this plan isn’t trash, then what is trash? Even a plan thought up by this father’s little brother [1] is much better than all of yours!”

Ke Lun looked downwards in shame. That major did not want to give in yet and retorted, ”I don’t think someone who only knows how to criticize others is that amazing. If we don’t move the soldiers away and instead face the enemy with a force three times larger, how else could we defend against it?”

Fatty laughed coldly. ”When I said you have a pig brain, you truly have one. This father only cares about deduction. Anything other than that is an issue that you have to solve by yourself. When your bra is torn, does taking off your pants to cover your chest mean you aren’t revealing yourself anymore [2]? Furthermore, you have even stripped yourself so cleanly that not even a single piece of underwear is left behind, stupid c***!”

After saying that, he picked up a pen and drew a line on the combat map before throwing it over to that major. ”Do you really think that it’s possible to overwhelm these two armored divisions, who hold the high ground, from a distance of 10 kilometers by just simultaneously attacking with three divisions [3]? Do you think that Battle Mechas are as big as a rat? If the defenses for the infantry at the right flank aren’t built on this piece of high ground one kilometer away, there will be no way they could be called the heroes of the flat ground since they would just get slaughtered. Even if the enemy’s assault broke through the line, the team defending at Point T could still reach the defense line within three minutes and provide support by going over to Point R. Thus, all you have to do is change the direction of the artillery. What kind of greenie staff officer are you to not even see this!?”

Seeing them keeping silent, Fatty waved his hand before saying, ”I do not want all of you to kowtow to me. Today, this father will just treat all of you as mere farts. The next time you dare to treat tactical planning as a game, then I’ll just use those documents to wipe my snot before throwing them back to you. If you don’t have the confidence of getting through this father’s examination, then think it over again. Right now, all of you should just scram for me!”

The 2nd Research Unit felt ashamed and indignant, but the moment they heard that they need not to kowtow anymore, they felt a burden being relieved. Pulling that major and Ke Lun, who had his ears turned red, they turned around and left the place.

The staff officers from the other research units, who had come over to enjoy the scene, left awkwardly as well. This time, they discovered that their plans would ultimately have to pass through the deductions done by the 6th Research Unit, the very people they had always looked down on and bossed around. If their plans were picked out to be used for wiping snot, then their reputations would immediately be destroyed.

The staff officers from the 6th Research Unit, however, only felt that they had blown off some steam. All the injustices they had suffered over the past few days had been returned to the others in a single go. The originally dead atmosphere immediately became buzzing with activity as they uncontrollably went over to give Tian Xing Jian a hug. The more mature ones merely smiled, while the less reserved officers just laughed out loud in celebration for their joy.

Pater had similarly laughed and decided to ignore these brats who seemingly had their dreams come true—throwing a sentence of having a dinner at 6 in the evening, he left with a snort. This old man was truly a nasty person underneath the amicable personality.

Those from the 6th Research Unit asked Fatty, ”Fatty, how did you spot the mistake with Ke Lun’s plan?”

Simple-mindedly, Fatty waved his hand before saying, ”Damn, this father had initially thought that this plan was good, but after excitedly walking over to get some opinions from the forward command, I ended up being scolded. Since I had the chance, why shouldn’t this father scold them back? However the forward command scolded me will be how I would scold him!”

The people from the 6th Research Unit perspired profusely from that statement, feeling glad for themselves inwardly.

After this incident, the staff officers from the 6th Research Unit had transformed into a group of fragrant steamed buns [4], especially when several irregular plans had been thrown out after they were examined by them. As a result, there were many who would come to treat these staff officers out for a meal or would plead for leniency. After all, the reputations of these military staff officers were quite important, and if they offended the 6th Research Unit, their plans would certainly be placed under a magnifying glass where every single detail would be scrutinized—even when there were no issues with the plan, an issue would still be squeezed out.
