Chapter 1056: One Speech, One Part Of HistoryTranslator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Individual combat was much easier than being a commander!
During individual combat, you would be able to make decisions that benefit you quickly based on your prediction. However, a commander couldn’t. A commander had to control the entire situation and needed to understand deployments. He needed to know how to coordinate. When the coordination was broken, he had to fix it immediately or change his tactics quickly to ensure the victory of this battle.

At the same time, Ye Jian became a little curious about Principal Chen’s past. He was so amazing… Why did he choose to retire?
In the past, she naively thought that Uncle Chen was just a world-class sniper. Now, after the inferno training this winter break, she understood that this retired soldier who still had his soldier’s aura around him wasn’t as simple as he looked.
He was a world-class sniper that understood military commands. How could he be a simple person?
“Uncle Chen, can I ask you a question?” Ye Jian hesitated as she asked. She kept the light-alloy bench and continued, “I want to know why… you chose to retire.”
Principal Chen turned around after keeping the rain cloth. He teased her, “You restrained yourself for so many days before asking this question. Has it been hard for you?”
“A little. I was afraid that it would be inappropriate to ask you so I held myself back.” Ye Jian pursed her lips and smiled. Uncle Chen had already noticed her curiosity. He was just waiting for her to ask. Did this mean that he could answer the question?
Indeed, he could. Principal Chen felt that it was good to let her know some things too.

In the past, we weren’t considered Special Forces soldiers. We were just the ace soldiers in the military. The earliest Special Forces unit was formed in 1988. I had already retired at that time.”
“At that time, as an ace soldier, we need to know things our comrades don’t. Our bodies must be strong and our intelligence must be high. We were able to go through swamps, walk through frozen rivers, climb up cliffs, annihilate packs of wolves, and destroy snake caves alone. We did not have so much high-performance equipment in the past. All we could rely on were our abilities.”
“We needed to understand military commanding as well as combat tactics. If you were picked out, you could lead a team in combat. If you were deployed, you could destroy your enemies secretly in an individual mission. During the 70s, we executed a big mission. Ten ace soldiers went on the mission but only four came back alive.”
“I managed to come back alive but my identity was exposed. Hence, I got the title of a ‘world-class sniper’. This title wasn’t given to me by the country. It was internationally published. Because of this title, the military used three months to erase my identity in order to ensure my safety. To the world, I have already sacrificed. However, I’m actually still alive.”
“I have many enemies so once my identity was exposed, the best choice for me was to retire.”
His speech tells a part of history. It allowed Ye Jian to know the difficult times the country had in the past and how careful they were. She also understood why they had to keep a low-profile now as they hide the military power of a rising great nation carefully.
This was all because the time wasn’t right yet. Everything was because there was still a distance between them and the developed nations. It was because they still had to work hard secretly before they could raise their heads to show the world!
It wasn’t far away! From the launching of the satellites to the launching of the rockets, from the appearance of an aircraft carrier to the flight of the automated jet and the technology of ballistic missiles… They would start to display their military power to the world slowly as they enter the 20th century. At that time, it will be the real rise of a great nation!
