3023 Those Who Humiliate Our Country Will Receive Karma
Their country didn’t lose. They simply chose the wrong person. They shouldn’t have let Lieutenant Colonel Saluk lead the team. It was because of his mistake in the combat plan that the SFS border defense soldiers were defeated.
After returning to the country, Senior Colonel Amitabh needed to report the situation to the president. He needed to improve the training of the SFS border defense soldiers!
Before he could go back, Senior Colonel Amitabh had already started to reflect deeply.
He also felt that China entered the top five because the higher-ups chose the country’s most elite special forces soldiers. Their country didn’t specially choose the soldiers participating in this competition. The SFS border defense soldiers who were sent out this time weren’t the best.
Hence, they lost.
What Senior Colonel Amitabh was thinking represented the thoughts of some Western countries that were still biased against China. In their eyes, China was a backward country that only won the war decades ago. It was impossible for China to suddenly become a country with powerful military power.
Prejudice didn’t come to be after just a day or two, especially since China hadn’t had a war with other countries for decades. Many countries and media outlets didn’t know much about the actual combat power of Chinese soldiers. Moreover, China was used to keeping a low profile and adhering to the principle of lowering their heads while making a fortune silently. They deliberately hid their actual combat power so that those Western countries who were full of prejudice against China wouldn’t know about it. Hence, it was normal for prejudice to exist.
Although Xia Jinyuan didn’t completely erase this prejudice when he led the team, it was enough to let all countries know that China’s strength wasn’t as weak as they thought. Although these people’s prejudices still existed, they were no longer so biased.
On the other hand, the real combat strength of the Chinese special forces would continue to be veiled. No one would be able to easily find out about it.
China silently made a fortune and strengthened itself with its soldiers. It continued to develop silently. In the end, once it attacked, the world would be shocked.
A cameraman at the venue interviewed a member of the Italian commando team and asked him what he thought of the performance of the Chinese soldiers.
The member of the commando team replied seriously, “Their appearance made me understand that the Chinese soldiers aren’t what I thought them to be at all. I have to admit that my previous understanding was ridiculous.”
Although prejudice existed, as long as there was change, it was enough!
At the award ceremony, the commander-in-chief of the Estonian National Defense said to Xia Jinyuan, “You won respect with your ability. Your ranking has changed many people’s prejudice against the Chinese soldiers! At the same time, I’m sorry for weighing your luggage. I’m very, very sorry.”
The Chinese soldiers who represented the country in their first Eka Assault competition received an apology from the commander-in-chief of the host country. They used their capabilities to prove that the Chinese soldiers were not inferior to the special forces of any country.
That was right. Not only did they get a good ranking, but they also used their ranking to protect the dignity of their country.
Those who humiliated their country would be punished!
This was how the Chinese special forces soldiers returned the favor to the SFS border defense soldiers. They wanted them to understand that they shouldn’t embarrass the Chinese soldiers.
12 countries participated in the competition, and two Western countries withdrew. In the end, only ten countries’ participants persevered. Out of all of them, China was ranked fifth. Although their results were not shocking and their results were still far from the top four, they suppressed the SFS border defense soldiers and obtained the result Xia Jinyuan and the rest wanted.
This was the first step for the Chinese special forces to go overseas. As the captain of the navy’s amphibious assault team, Li Jinnian learned a lot.
