Chapter 732: I’m Not His Match Yet Ye Jian got exposed but she kept her composure and maintained the smile on her face. She replied calmly, “Just now, I really did want to have a duel with Captain Xia. However, I know that I’m not his match so I gave up the thought.” Commander Xia had been in the military for half his life. He wasn’t someone who liked to listen to flatters. He always admired broad-minded and upright people. Hence, he was surprised when Ye Jian didn’t hide the matter and spoke about it openly. This young lady was very mature and didn’t curry his favor. She was frank and forthright too. This was very rare. It wasn’t strange that his son, someone who had high expectations, would fall for this lady. “We’re just talking casually now. Little Ye, you don’t have to be nervous.”Commander Xia looked at her back which suddenly tensed up again and then turned to see his son who was frowning and worried about his future girlfriend. He decided that he should be a kind and friendly elder. In the past, his father and mother, who are Xia Jinyuan’s grandparents, didn’t object to his marriage although they didn’t agree with it. They even asked him to take care of his wife after she got pregnant. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂 Their family culture was like this so Commander Xia didn’t think of separating the two of them. “I might be a commander but I’m a father and an elder too. This isn’t working hours. Little Ye, you don’t have to be nervous. Just take me as your elder.” If it wasn’t for Xia Jinyuan, how would Ye Jian know that the powerful Commander Xia on the stage was so warm and kind? Ye Jian, who had a good psychological quality, started to relax because of his laughter. Besides the first half an hour of the journey from the chemical defense regiment to the provincial capital, Ye Jian didn’t feel any stress the rest of the time. Since he was a soldier, Commander Xia was short and sweet in his speech, especially when he was analyzing military affairs. All his words hit the nail on the head. His view of the wars, including the current wars and the battles in the future, made Ye Jian respect him even more. “In less than 10 years, the entire world will use information as their main battle plan. From scouting in the sky to ground combats, everything will be digitalized. This can be observed after the Gulf War. We observe that non-contact warfare will be an important operation. It will become one of the tactics in high-tech warfare.” “There will always be casualties in a war. But, how to lower the number of casualties is a difficult problem the militaries of all countries need to solve. Non-contact warfare is an advantageous tactic. Whether it’s our country or other countries, everyone strives to use these tactics which can harm their enemies while protecting themselves.” “You are still young so while you’re learning military theories, you should find out more about information warfare too. There are a few research departments in the National Science University that are leading the research in this area. It’s good that you are hot-blooded now but you must look further into the future. The wars that now are unlike the wars that happened in the past.” “You’re born in a peaceful era so you must remember that while mankind is advancing, wars are advancing too. What kind of wars will happen in the future...” Commander Xia actually wanted to remind Ye Jian to study hard but as he spoke, he naturally linked it to future warfares. He paused for a moment and smiled. He decided to test Ye Jian. “What do you think future wars will be like?” At this moment, Ye Jian was dumbstruck by what Commander Xia said. That was because he was actually right. In less than ten years, all the powerful and big nations would start digitalizing their wars. The appearance of drones, stealth fighters, and electromagnetic interference were all instances of information warfare.
