Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1908 Starlight
The conversation ended around eleven o'clock.

"Xiao Tao, go and rest tonight."

Yang Xiaotao stood up immediately, "You should have a good rest! Your health is important!"

The old man smiled and shook his head, "It's okay. Although I'm old, I can still handle this."

"You have to take care of your health, because your body is not only yours, it belongs to the revolution."

Yang Xiaotao persuaded with a smile, but the old man shook his head indifferently, "I am old, and this era will eventually be handed over to you young people."

"You are still strong and healthy."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Remember to say hello to your uncle next time you see him."

Yang Xiaotao's expression changed, and then he asked in a low voice, "Is uncle coming back?"

The old man laughed. This kid was very cunning. He figured out everything he said just by looking at what he said.

If he had been born thirty years earlier, he would definitely be a good candidate.

"I want to go."

The old man said this with a smile, and Yang Xiaotao immediately walked out happily.

Then the old man and Secretary Guo sent Yang Xiaotao out.

Instructor Gao led Yang Xiaotao in front without saying a word. After the two left, the old man immediately turned around and walked into the study.

"Commander, you should take a rest!"

Secretary Guo said worriedly behind him.

The old man waved his hands, and the elegant demeanor he had just displayed was gone, replaced by an unquestionable majesty.

"Go to the study!"

Secretary Guo swallowed his saliva after hearing this, then trotted into the study to prepare paper and pen.

The old man stood at the window with his hands behind his back, gazing at the vast night sky, which was full of stars.

'There are so many talented people in the world! '

After a long time, he returned to the study and sat on the chair.

Pick up the brush and ponder for a moment.

Then he solemnly wrote eight words on the side.

"On the significance of special operations!"

After Instructor Gao took Yang Xiaotao away from the old man's residence, he remained silent all the way, but his pace was a little slow, as if he was thinking carefully, or as if he couldn't get out of his own world.

In fact, he kept recalling the conversation between Yang Xiaotao and the leader in his mind.

If the information was just one or two sentences, he could still understand it thoroughly, but if he had to understand it in a connected way and draw inferences from one instance to another, he felt that his brain was not enough!
Some reconnaissance type, some information type.

There are even regional classifications such as mountains, plateaus, deserts, rainforests, islands, etc.

Each one has its own unique side, each one is different.

After reading the long list of information, he felt that the special forces were more complicated than the army subjects offered in the academy.

All this made him feel at a loss.

As an instructor, he was attending this conversation today because he was supportive of this special operations approach in the academy.

Moreover, because of his kung fu skills, he likes this kind of elite fighting force very much and hopes to pass on this combat mode.

But what he heard today, which was beyond his understanding, made him realize that the special forces he thought of and the special forces the country needed to develop were two completely different concepts.

Perhaps, the special forces he firmly believed in could only be regarded as a type of armed work team, which was far from the real special forces.

This is painful for him.

Walking down the mountain, the trees on both sides of the road cast shadows on the road ahead under the moonlight, causing him to slow down his pace!
Yang Xiaotao, who was behind him, noticed something unusual about Instructor Gao and slowed down his pace as well. The footsteps of the two were particularly clear on the empty mountain road.

Instructor Gao realized Yang Xiaotao's presence when he heard the noise behind him. He then came to his senses and frowned again.

Yang Xiaotao was behind him, so he could ask about anything he didn't understand.

But I don’t know how to start, because there are so many things I don’t understand.

"Coach Gao, do you have any doubts?"

Seeing that Instructor Gao was worried, Yang Xiaotao took the initiative to ask, then walked aside and the two walked side by side!

Instructor Gao nodded and said, "I have heard a lot from you this time. I have a lot of things on my mind, but I don't know how to say them!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded and said, "Actually, you don't need to worry about this!"

"No need to think so much!"

Instructor Gao was startled. "Why?"

Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "Do you think you can participate in those strategic matters and route matters?"

"Besides, without practice, the so-called theory is nothing but a castle in the air. Maybe some things sound like one thing, but when they are actually put into practice, they are completely different."

"So I think, if you really want to do this special operation, you should start from the actual situation, find problems while doing it, and then improve the system while solving the problems!"

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Instructor Gao's eyes lit up.

Only then did he realize that he had indeed reached a dead end.

Strategic matters will naturally be decided by the leader.

What he needs to do is to put these things on paper into practice.

Thinking of this, he looked at Yang Xiaotao and asked, "Comrade Yang Xiaotao, can I ask how the team in your machinery factory is trained?"

"And is there anything you should pay special attention to during your training..."

Faced with Instructor Gao's questions, Yang Xiaotao did not intend to hide anything.

Anyway, a lot has been said, so he doesn't mind how much.

"When we formed a special operations team, the first thing we considered was the selection of personnel!"

"Initially, they were all from the factory security department, and later they were formed from some teams..."

"Later, we began to focus on educated people, because some instruments and equipment require literacy..."

"As for physical exercise, in addition to keeping up with the necessary nutrition, you also need to practice eating in special circumstances, such as eating raw earthworms, rats and snakes..."

"There's another 400-meter obstacle course, followed by a rapid shooting..."

The two of them talked as they walked, and it was mostly Yang Xiaotao who did the talking while Instructor Gao listened attentively.

This time, Instructor Gao's mind was clear and his eyes were brighter.

They have already been doing some things, but they have not summarized them in such a systematic way.

Some things only require slight improvements, and some aspects, in his opinion, can be done better.

"When I get back, I'll ask Captain Liang to give you a training manual."

"Let me tell you, our Captain Liang is a veteran in the army. His combat effectiveness ranks second in our security department..." Yang Xiaotao said casually when he arrived at the door of his residence.

Instructor Gao did not ask who was first, but was immediately delighted when he heard there was a training manual.

With these experiences, it will be much easier for the college to carry out its work.

However, there was one thing he could still distinguish clearly.

What is suitable for a machinery factory may not be suitable for their college.

Just as Yang Xiaotao said, different environments produce different needs.

Jinling and Sijiucheng, one in the south and one in the north, represent different regions.

In this regard, learning from the experience of the machinery factory and then developing the characteristics of the college will be his main work in the future.

Instantly, Instructor Gao had a goal in his work and his expression was no longer serious.

The two then had a brief exchange and left.

After Instructor Gao left, Yang Xiaotao looked back at the room which was still lit, then walked inside with his hands behind his back.

Even though I was so exhausted from talking that night, and even though I had to rack my brains to finish what I said, at least I managed to make things clear.

And I also met the person I admired.

In the future, China will have a place in international special operations.

Yang Xiaotao walked to the door with his hands behind his back, and suddenly thought of what the old man said about his uncle.

Although his expression was very happy at the time, he was still a little worried in his heart.

Shensheng died inside, while Chong'er was safe outside.

Right now he didn't want his uncle to come back so early.

Even under his deliberate targeting, two out of four pieces were taken away, and the whole mahjong table was torn in half by him.

When faced with this inertia, even a time traveler cannot change it.

So until now, Yang Xiaotao has been afraid that new accidents will occur in order for history to return to the original timeline.

This is something Yang Xiaotao would never allow.

I looked up at the cold moon in the sky and the distant stars around me.

He knew that it was not that there were no stars around the moon, but that the moon's light blocked the stars' brightness, making it difficult for people below to see clearly.

In fact, what is blocked is only the human eyes, while the starlight is always there.

Turning around, Yang Xiaotao pushed open the door and walked into the room.

"Boss Yang, you're back."

In the room, Wang Hao and Xu Han were still waiting. They had not slept yet. When they saw Yang Xiaotao, they showed excitement on their faces.

Chen Chonghan's voice was heard from outside the door, holding an enamel pot in his hand.

Yang Xiaotao took it directly after seeing it. Although he had drunk a lot of tea from the old man, he had eaten too much mutton in the evening and was still very thirsty.

"How was it, did you see it?"

Chen Chonghan said hopefully. Yang Xiaotao drank all the water in the cup, wiped his mouth and said, "Of course."

"You asked me to come here, how can I not see you?"

"Not only did we meet, we also ate mutton hotpot together, wow"

Yang Xiaotao had an expression that looked like he deserved a beating, which made several people want to punch him.

Unfortunately, not only do I not dare to beat him, the key is that I can’t beat him.

"Isn't he very majestic?"

"What's so majestic? That's called kindness. Can you speak?"

"Yes, yes, it is kind, uh"

"Okay, let's stay here, maybe we can see each other tomorrow."

Chen Chonghan said this at last, very hopeful.

He felt that there was a good chance he would see him when Yang Xiaotao left.

"Okay, let's go to bed."

Yang Xiaotao urged, and several people hurried back to the house to rest.

Soon lying on the bed, Yang Xiaotao closed his eyes and fell asleep.

In the next room, Hao Pingchuan and Xiaobo were lying on the bed, neither able to sleep.

"Xiaobo, do you think we should do it secretly tomorrow?"

Xiaobo shook his head and said nothing.

"Do you want to tell your superiors about the situation?"

Xiaobo continued to shake his head. Hao Pingchuan lay on the bed and watched, frowning immediately. "You keep shaking your head here and there. What do you mean?"

"I don't know. I don't know either."

Xiaobo said helplessly, "We were originally protecting them in secret, but now we have to do it in the open."

"If we continue to follow the old thinking, we might be targeted by the other side and die without knowing how."

Hao Pingchuan nodded silently after hearing this. The most taboo thing in their line of work is deceiving themselves and others.

No matter what happens, you must face it squarely, otherwise it will only hurt others and yourself.

"I think we should just follow them openly."

"No matter what, protecting him is the first priority."

"What do you think?"

Xiaobo nodded and said, "Then follow me first."

"If the other party really wants to take action, two more won't be too many."

Hao Pingchuan nodded, then realized, "What do you mean two more is not too much? Do you know how to speak?"

Ouch
Just as Hao Pingchuan was about to get up, he felt pain in his back and fell back down on the bed.

Xiaobo saw it and laughed, "How about you rest here first and then go?"

"Stop talking nonsense, get a good night's sleep, and tomorrow will be fine."

"Okay, let's go to sleep."

After that, the room fell silent.

After a while, snoring sounds were heard.
