37: Special appointment: Chief Advisor for Eastern Front Operations!

A great wind rises, clouds fly!

How can a "mengshi" be found to guard the four directions!

Undoubtedly, General Xu Liyou held incredibly high expectations for the Mengshi Composite Brigade.

In his eyes, the Mengshi Composite Brigade was destined to become a true "mengshi," guarding the nation's gates and annihilating enemies from a thousand miles away!

And Comrade Peng Lin, upon hearing the Old General's arrangements, was incredibly excited.

The concept of a "composite battalion" was still incredibly advanced at the time.

In his estimation, the Army Headquarters would likely only allow him to form one battalion for testing.

But what Comrade Peng Lin never expected was that General Xu Liyou would directly give him an entire division with a wave of his hand.

He even allowed Comrade Peng Lin to select elites from it to form a Composite Brigade.

This trust put Comrade Peng Lin in a state of exhilaration.

Because he knew that the Composite Brigade was key to Dragon Country becoming the world's number one Army in the future.

Moreover, the Light Combined Arms Brigade was best suited for complex battlefield environments like Yue Hou Country.

This battle, Dragon Country's "Mengshi Composite Brigade," would surely shake the entire world!

"Yes, Chief!"

"Mission accomplished!"

Comrade Peng Lin assured General Xu Liyou.

The Old General's excitement was not much less than Comrade Peng Lin's.

He even casually asked his orderly for a map and began studying it on the spot.

This was a habit he had developed over many years of leading troops in battle.

Whenever a major battle was to be fought, he absolutely had to carry a map with him.

The purpose of doing this was to be able to mark and verify new tactical ideas and thoughts anytime, anywhere.

"Once the war begins, our main forces on the Eastern Front can launch a large-scale feint attack."

"Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Mengshi Composite Brigade will be deployed to the rear of Yue Hou Country in batches, using composite battalions as units."

"Yue Hou Country will absolutely not expect that we have successfully reverse-engineered the Chinook and mass-produced heavy transport helicopters like the Z-8."

"And they will be even less likely to imagine that, in addition to the Z-8, we also possess the ""mengshi"" and Lynx All-Terrain Assault Vehicle to go with it."

"The rear of Yue Hou Country is mostly jungle and mountains, so the Mengshi Composite Brigade's mobility advantage can be maximized."

"The subordinate composite battalions can complete tactical maneuvers in a short time, quickly occupying key nodes via roads or hidden routes in the Yue Hou mountainous areas."

"And by raiding supply hubs such as Yue Hou's rear roads and ammunition depots, they can paralyze the material supply of their front-line troops."

"Then, by destroying bridges and roads, they can cut off support from the south, leaving their northern forces completely isolated and helpless..."

General Xu Liyou drew line after line on the map, planning the operation.

And Comrade Peng Lin at this moment had clearly become his operations staff officer.

For example, regarding the passability of a certain terrain or the firepower situation of a certain unit, he consulted Comrade Peng Lin in detail.

Only then would he carefully make markings on the map.

Several hours later, a preliminary operational plan for the "Mengshi Composite Brigade" had taken shape on the map.

"Yue Hou Country claims to be a military power in the Third World?"

"Do they think they can defeat our Army with the support of the Soviet Union?"

"This time, we will paralyze them as soon as the war begins!"

General Xu Liyou slapped his broad palm on the map, full of confidence in this battle.

With new weapons like the Z-8, Sniper Grenade, and Individual Thermobaric Weapon, his original guarantee to the Military Commission was to reach the Viet Cong Capital in two weeks.

But now, he felt that within a week!

Or even five days, they could be at the gates of Hanoi City, the Viet Cong Capital!

...General Xu Liyou only stayed at Changhe Factory for one day before leaving in a hurry.

And Comrade Peng Lin, after testing the ""mengshi"" and Lynx All-Terrain Assault Vehicle, also received a system prompt:

Project Name: ""mengshi"" High-Mobility Wheeled Tactical Vehicle Platform

Difficulty Assessment: C

Mission Progress: 100%

Mission Reward: 500 Research Points

...Project Name: Lynx All-Terrain Assault Vehicle

Difficulty Assessment: D

Mission Progress: 100%

Mission Reward: 200 Research Points

Although Comrade Peng Lin spent 400 Research Points to directly purchase research progress and results for the development of the ""mengshi"" and Lynx All-Terrain Assault Vehicle.

However, after successful development, he directly earned 700 Research Points in one go.

In addition to this, Comrade Peng Lin had other unexpected gains.

Project Name: Multi-Barrel Rocket Launcher Container

Difficulty Assessment: E

Mission Progress: 100%

Mission Reward: 100 Research Points

...Project Name: 120mm Mortar

Difficulty Assessment: E

...

These were all projects that Comrade Peng Lin had assigned to the Military Industrial Design Institute of the Changhe Weapons Manufacturing Branch Factory for development.

He had only tentatively created research tasks within the system at the time.

But what Comrade Peng Lin didn't expect was that he only provided some conceptual guidance during the development of these weapons.

And after the projects were successfully developed, the system actually gave him Research Points rewards as well.

Although these research projects were only assessed as the lowest E-level difficulty by the system.

But there were a total of eight projects combined.

The Research Points obtained from these research projects alone were even more than what Comrade Peng Lin gained from doing his own research.

Now Comrade Peng Lin was practically an overnight millionaire.

Coupled with the previously accumulated Research Points, his total Research Points reached 1800.

"The technical backbones and R&D personnel of the various branch factories can currently only tackle projects assessed with E-level difficulty."

"If they are further cultivated, and once they can independently tackle C-level difficulty military industrial projects, then I..."

Comrade Peng Lin was somewhat expectant.

He believed that he should pay more attention to the cultivation of talent in the various branch factories and the Academy of Weaponry Science in the future.

Once enough Research Points were accumulated, he could even directly challenge military industrial projects assessed with A-level or even S-level difficulty!

By then, would it still be a dream to have the H-20 soar in Dragon Country twenty or thirty years ahead of schedule?

Over the next few days, Comrade Peng Lin would take time out to give lessons to the technical backbones of the various branch factories.

As the various branch factories were currently in a state of competition.

Therefore, the learning atmosphere in each branch factory was very strong.

The technical backbones not only took notes themselves, but they also discussed and learned from each other.

Generally, all technical backbones were able to thoroughly understand the courses Comrade Peng Lin taught by the next day.

This made Comrade Peng Lin very satisfied.

In addition to helping the Changhe Automobile Factory formulate production processes to accelerate the production of the ""mengshi"" and Lynx All-Terrain Assault Vehicle.

He focused his main energy on compiling courses and teaching.

Comrade Peng Lin believed that as long as he put in a little more effort to teach this batch of technical backbones well.

Then, in the future, once the tradition of the old leading the new is formed in the various branch factories, the entire Changhe Weapon Industry Group will have a continuous stream of talent emerging.

One week later.

Just as Comrade Peng Lin was diligently compiling courses, several Army Headquarters vehicles arrived at the Changhe Factory.

"Comrade Peng Lin, upon General Xu Liyou's recommendation, the Army Headquarters has decided to appoint you as the Chief Operations Advisor for the Eastern Front, a full Army-level officer!"

"And orders the 163rd Division of the 55th Army of the Yangcheng Military Region to be at your disposal for deployment and training!"

"Currently, the 163rd Division of the 55th Army has rushed to Changhe and set up a field division headquarters forTraining!"

"Here are your letter of appointment and uniform!"

The people from the Army Headquarters spoke to Comrade Peng Lin with exceptional courtesy.

At the same time, they were somewhat curious, as this was the first time they had heard of the military position of Chief Operations Advisor.

Especially since the main responsibility of a full Army-level officer was to train a division?

This made it even more perplexing.

However, the few people did not ask further, as this matter clearly involved secrets that they were not privy to.

"I understand!"

"Comrades, you have come a long way and worked hard."

"Sit down and have some water."

Comrade Peng Lin took the letter of appointment and said to the people from the Army Headquarters.

"It's our duty!"

"We won't disturb you any further!"

After speaking, the few people saluted Comrade Peng Lin and then got into their cars and left directly.

After seeing off the people from the Yan Capital Army Headquarters, Comrade Peng Lin returned to his office and opened the letter of appointment.

"Chief Operations Advisor for the Eastern Front?"

"Full Army-level officer?"

The latter was clearly prepared for him to select and train the Mengshi Composite Brigade.

After all, if he didn't have a military rank, how could he command respect?

As for the Chief Operations Advisor for the Eastern Front, there was only one explanation: the Self-Defense Counterattack!

Thinking of this, Comrade Peng Lin stood up, changed his clothes, and prepared to immediately begin the work of forming the "Mengshi Composite Brigade"!
