Reborn as Zhao Ruilong of Handong, I will defy fate.

Chapter 376 A Bright Future Awaits! Good News for the Zhao Family!

As the sun sets, the sky is ablaze with rosy clouds.

The helicopter roared, its rotor blades spinning at high speed, tearing through the air.

"Everyone has it!"

"Attention! Salute!!"

Gao Cheng stood tall and saluted.

Behind him was not just the Steel Seventh Company, but the entire armored division.

He originally just wanted Zhao Ruilong to give the soldiers of the Steel Seventh Company a popular science introduction to electronic warfare. Even if they couldn't grasp the complex and profound knowledge and principles, it would be good to improve their understanding of modern warfare.

To everyone's surprise, the news spread like wildfire.

The Red Force suffered heavy losses in the exercise due to its lack of expertise in electronic warfare, which has piqued the curiosity of many who want to know what high-tech electronic warfare is and where the gap lies between the two sides.

There were so many diligent and eager learners that the division simply had the engineers build a high platform, install a loudspeaker, and set up a temporary lecture stage for Zhao Ruilong.

Zhao Ruilong and his team brought some equipment to the stage and gave the officers and soldiers a vivid and easy-to-understand electronic warfare training lesson through popular science introductions and physical demonstrations.

Although the May sun wasn't particularly scorching, talking for nearly four hours straight under the sun was undeniably exhausting.

And... it's completely free!

Words cannot express my gratitude.

Therefore, all officers and soldiers stood at attention and saluted, watching the helicopter disappear into the distance.

As the helicopter flew further and further away, the hum of its engine gradually faded away.

The battalions and regiments returned to their posts one after another, preparing to set off back to their garrisons.

Dust billowed and tanks roared.

Both the red and blue forces began an orderly withdrawal.

As the division's ace unit, the 702nd Mechanized Infantry Regiment was the last to withdraw.

However, the entire group did not simply stand still and wait; instead, they organized discussions.

We discussed the gains and losses of this exercise, and the insights and experiences gained from the electronic warfare class this afternoon.

Mutual learning and progress are among the fine traditions of the People's Liberation Army.

As the sun disappeared below the horizon, only a wisp of evening glow remained on the sky.

After the regimental meeting ended, Wang Qingrui called Gao Cheng, who was about to leave, to a stop.

"Did you know Zhao Ruilong before?"

Gao Cheng shook his head and extended his right hand.

"I don't know him. We bumped into each other when I went to the restroom at noon. What's up?"

Wang Qingrui handed his large water jug ​​to Gao Cheng.

"You bumped into him while using the restroom! Do you know who he is?"

After gulping down several mouthfuls of tea, Gao Cheng said while unscrewing the lid:

"He did say that; he works for Handong Huilong Electronics."

"I suspect he's not just the company owner, but also the CTO; he really knows a lot about electronic information technology."

Wang Qingrui took back the large water bottle and gestured for Gao Cheng to walk outside so that the orderly could pack up the tent.

After walking a few steps outside and gazing at the magnificent sunset, Wang Qingrui decided to stop beating around the bush.

"While you were listening attentively in class this afternoon, I specifically asked someone about it."

"He is indeed the owner of Huilong Electronics. Many of the best-selling electronic products on the market today were developed with his investment."

"However, he also has an identity you wouldn't expect..."

At this point, Wang Qingrui glanced around to make sure no one was nearby, then lowered his voice and said:

"You would never guess that his father is actually Zhao Lichun, the top official in Handong Province!"

"And his father-in-law is General Lu Changsheng, who pushed forward this large-scale military reform!"

"What you might not expect is that he is also particularly favored by President Shen, and the bodyguards around him are all arranged by President Shen!"

Gao Cheng was dumbfounded.

I never imagined that I would "catch" such a big fish while I was using the restroom.

What I didn't expect was that the other party was so powerful and influential, yet they were so unpretentious.

When asked to give a lesson to the officers and soldiers, he not only readily agreed, but also taught with exceptional seriousness despite the scorching sun.

"Isn't it a bit of a surprise? You never expected someone with such a powerful background to be giving us a lesson, did you?"

Gao Cheng's lips twitched.

"Yes, it was such a surprise."

"Logically speaking, someone with his background and qualifications should be considered a top-tier member of the elite."

"As a result... as a result, I invited him up on stage to give our entire division a lesson just because of one cigarette."

Gao Cheng knew this, of course. Although his background was also good, with his father being a military commander, he was still far inferior to Zhao Ruilong.

Not only because there are many army groups, there are also many army commanders, who seem to hold high positions and great power, but their actual power is not much except for commanding training and personnel transfers.

In contrast, Zhao Ruilong's father, Zhao Lichun, was a high-ranking official in charge of a region.

During his tenure in Handong Province, he wielded unparalleled decision-making power over many crucial matters, including personnel appointments, project approvals, and financial allocations.

Besides having a father who was like a local tyrant, Zhao Ruilong also had a father-in-law whose official rank was higher than his own father's.

With such background conditions, it would be hard to find another like it in the entire Dragon Kingdom.

Unfortunately, Zhao Ruilong himself proved to be very capable.

He is not only an outstanding entrepreneur, but also a high-tech expert.

"With such excellent conditions and such an approachable manner, Zhao Ruilong has a very promising future!"

Upon hearing the remark from Regiment Commander Wang Qingrui, Gao Cheng gave a cold snort.

"If he truly had a bright future, he wouldn't have chosen business over politics."

"I think that his purpose in coming all this way to help the Blue Team win the exercise was to help his father-in-law, Lu Changsheng, push for military reform."

“Once the military reform is implemented, his father-in-law will be promoted again, and will have more power and energy, which will in turn help his father, Zhao Lichun, to advance.”

Wang Qingrui frowned.

“His father is already the top official in Handong. If he were to advance another step or two, wouldn’t that be…”

Gao Cheng smiled knowingly.

I stretched as I watched the sunset.

"Many people say that the sunset in the mountains easily evokes memories of the past. Does it remind you of anything?"

Wang Qingrui stood with his hands behind his back.

Looking at the crimson sunset, and the various tanks lying like iron dragons in the distance.

"I suddenly remembered the time when I led troops to garrison this place."

"Back then, conditions here were very harsh. There were no extensive underground oil pipelines; instead, underground oil depots were built."

"In order to ensure the fuel needs of vehicles stationed in the field, the oil depot was built to be very large and has important military value, so we must be careful to prevent it from being bombed after the start of war."

"So at that time, I wanted to build a road, but I couldn't, because I was afraid that if the road was built, it would expose the location of the oil depot. Gradually, this road became a great regret in my heart."

Gao Cheng chuckled, "So the road you couldn't repair, Xu Sanduo finished, and you just forced him on me..."

Wang Qingrui immediately retorted, "I transferred him from the Fifth Platoon of the Grassland to your Seventh Steel Company not because he repaired the road I wanted to repair."

"I think that a soldier like him, who is calm, patient, and persevering, can unleash great potential if he is properly inspired."

Yes, that's right!

Gao Cheng took off his helmet and blew away the dust.

"In this exercise, our division's greatest achievement was that he led Shi Jin, Wu Liuyi, and others to infiltrate and outflank the enemy's rear camp over 50 kilometers and launch a surprise attack."

"If it weren't for this outstanding achievement, we would have really lost in a very embarrassing way this time. I bet the division commander and army commander wouldn't be able to hold their heads up in meetings."

Wang Qingrui laughed and said, "You, as the company commander, deserve a lot of credit for their tenacious fighting spirit and outstanding combat skills!"

Gao Cheng gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"What merit did you make?"

"Compared to Zhao Ruilong, who is humble, down-to-earth, and honest in his work, I'm nothing!"

After putting on his helmet, Gao Cheng glanced at the convoy of the Seventh Steel Company.

"I'm leaving now."

"let's go!"

Wang Qingrui waved his hand, watching Gao Cheng leave, muttering to himself:

"Zhao Ruilong only wants to help his father succeed, but you, Gao Cheng, have a bright future!"

"This military reform will remove many glorious old units and many unnecessary agencies and units."

"However, with the Seventh Military Region being transformed into a theater command and the heavy armored divisions being transformed into combined arms brigades, the troops are younger and more efficient, and it's also more likely that younger officers will be able to take the lead!"

Moments later, infantry fighting vehicles and main battle tanks roared across the bumpy, muddy road.

As night fell, the training ground, which had been bustling for two days, returned to silence.

at the same time.

Zhao Ruilong arrived safely at the military airport in the southern suburbs of Yanjing by helicopter, along with Lu Changsheng.

They walked away from the roaring helicopter and headed towards the jeep that had been waiting in the distance.

As they were about to part, Lu Changsheng hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help speaking up.

“Ruilong, strike while the iron is hot. With military reforms imminent, I simply cannot spare the time to return to Jingzhou.”

"Go back and tell Xiao Ke to have a peaceful baby. I'll come back to see them once I'm done with my work."

Zhao Ruilong stopped in his tracks.

"Dad, don't worry, I'll tell Yike that I'll take good care of them!"

"Don't overwork yourself. Make sure you eat and sleep on time every day!"

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly.

"I know, you should hurry up and leave, or you'll miss the last flight back to Jingzhou."

"There's still plenty of time, we can make it."

Zhao Ruilong smiled, waved, got into his car, and drove away.

Half an hour later, the military vehicles sped to Yanjing International Airport.

After passing through security at the terminal, Zhao Ruilong and his two companions went to the VIP lounge to wait for their flight.

The two guards, naturally, tactfully dined at the table next to Zhao Ruilong.

Zhao Ruilong put on his headphones, ate something, and called Lu Yike's phone.

"Ruilong?"

Upon hearing his mother-in-law Wu Xinyi's voice, Zhao Ruilong's heart skipped a beat.

"Mom, is it okay if it's me?"

"She's already in the delivery room, and I'm waiting outside!"

"What? Does that mean she's going to give birth tonight?"

"My cervix is ​​dilated. Regardless of whether I can have a natural birth or not, I definitely have to give birth tonight."

"Okay, okay, oh right, I'm at the airport now. My flight is at nine o'clock, and I'll land at eleven. Also, we won that exercise."

Overwhelmed with excitement, Zhao Ruilong spoke with an almost unparalleled flair.

Before transmigrating, he worked hard for half his life and achieved success in his career, but he did not meet his ideal love, so he did not get married, let alone have children.

Having transmigrated to this world, he became the son of a powerful and wealthy family, surrounded by beautiful women, but becoming a father was a first for him, so how could he not be excited?

Wu Xinyi, on the other end of the phone, was also extremely excited.

"That's great! Her dad must be so happy!"

Suppressing his excitement, Zhao Ruilong sat down and said, "It was a great victory as expected. Dad wasn't too excited, but he asked me to tell him that he'll come back to see his wife and son when he's done with his work."

"What mother and child? It's not certain yet!"

Wu Xinyi's words immediately shocked Zhao Ruilong.
