Capítulo 1675: Chapter 1618: Chu Xianling Admits It (2)

Yang Yushi said with a smile, “Alright, Ruonan, don’t glare at Xiaodong like that every time you see him, as if you two are so old. Come on, let’s sit down and chat. The way Xianling explained earlier was too general. I still don’t understand how you two broke the ice.”

The four of them sat down, and Chu Xianling began to talk about how the two practiced kung fu. Then, when they were practicing combined strikes, not only did it require physical contact, but also a synchrony of minds. Unconsciously, the barrier between them was broken.

Zhao Ruonan snorted and said, “That’s his tactic, to deceive you on purpose. You, this emotional fool, have fallen for it.”

Chu Xianling said somewhat helplessly, “Ruonan, even though I haven’t had a boyfriend before, don’t I know in my heart what should or shouldn’t be done?”

“Humph, you may know, but you should also see what kind of person he is. This guy is an old hand with women. You’re no match for him—he could sell you off, and you’d still help him count the money.”

Song Xiaodong also felt a headache, unable to fathom why Zhao Ruonan had such a poor impression of him, almost as if they were enemies.

Yang Yushi said curiously, “Is this just like the Twin Swords Combined of Yang Guo and Little Dragon Maiden?”

Chu Xianling said, “Yes, it does mean something like that. It’s much more powerful than the two acting together normally. But we still have many issues to resolve, which can’t be done in a day.”

Song Xiaodong also said, “It’s a new kind of kung fu, so it can’t succeed so easily. Even if we feel it’s going well, we still need to test it, to spar with real experts. Only then can we know if what we’ve practiced is truly effective.”

Zhao Ruonan suddenly asked, “Could this combined strike method be useful in the military? If the warriors learned this method, would it greatly enhance their combat power?”

Zhao Ruonan suddenly asking this question made Song Xiaodong pause for a moment, but he soon thought seriously and then slowly said, “I also come from the military, especially in our kind of units, normal coordination is emphasized. But now that I think about it, the previous coordination was lacking in many aspects and had much room for development.”

After a slight pause, Song Xiaodong continued, “But because the soldiers in the military, even those in Dragon Thorn, don’t really have many true experts, this combined strike method should be simplified and not too complicated. It can still greatly enhance their combat power.”

Zhao Ruonan immediately said, “Alright, then this matter is for you to handle. Develop a plan well and then try it out in the military. If feasible, we’ll promote it widely in the military because we need to enhance our warriors’ combat power.”

Yang Yushi said, “Ruonan, in modern warfare, isn’t it just about missiles flying around? Is there still frontal warfare with close combat?”

Zhao Ruonan said, “If the sole objective is strikes, then yes, it’s the kind of missile warfare you mentioned. But if we need to occupy a place, beyond destruction, there must be ground troops to occupy it. In such situations, ground combat involves more than just simple gunfire sweeping; there are situations of face-to-face combat down below. In those times, the ability for close combat is crucial.”

Song Xiaodong nodded in agreement, “Apart from occupation needing ground troops, we also have many special missions. In this world, war is just the surface; there are many hidden wars that ordinary people cannot see. Such wars are extremely covert and carry high risks. The difference in combat power is substantial.”

Yang Yushi said, “I understand, it’s like last time when Ruonan was in danger and you went to rescue her.”

Song Xiaodong and Zhao Ruonan both nodded simultaneously.

Zhao Ruonan turned to Song Xiaodong and said, “Xianling mentioned earlier that your combined strike requires such tacit understanding. But in our military, surely we won’t arrange male and female soldiers in pairs for this, right?”

Song Xiaodong immediately said, “Of course not. Xianling and I aim to perfect this combined strike formation for greater power. But for regular soldiers, as long as they grasp the essentials and can display a portion of this formation’s power, achieving where one plus one is greater than two would be a very good effect.”

Having finished discussing business, Chu Xianling asked, “Why have you two come together? Is Ruonan so idle now? I remember in Beijing, we wouldn’t meet for months at a time.”

Zhao Ruonan rolled her eyes at Song Xiaodong and said, “Isn’t it because of this guy?”

“For him?” Chu Xianling asked puzzledly.

Zhao Ruonan nodded, her expression growing more solemn, and said, “This guy isn’t he the Young Master of Dragon Gate? The higher-ups now want me to liaise with Dragon Gate, and if there’s anything for Dragon Gate to do in the future, it’ll be me who handles it.”

Chu Xianling smiled and said, “Isn’t that better? Everyone knows each other, so everything will be easier to discuss in the future.”

Zhao Ruonan immediately shook her head decisively, her expression becoming even more solemn, “I represent our country, while he represents Dragon Gate. No matter what, everything needs to be clearly stated.”
