Since external problems will not affect internal affairs for the time being, their emergence also signifies that the shadow of war is gradually approaching.
This is a harbinger of war. Even though Uchiha Takashi is doing his best to avoid war, it is still drawing ever closer to the Uchiha.
Uchiha Takashi couldn't help but turn his gaze to the army. Had the Uchiha army been properly built up? Could it withstand the coming war?
Although the Uchiha army successfully crushed the Hagoromo Clan, their combat prowess was also formidable.
But that was the peak combat power unleashed when Uchiha Takashi commanded the charge, personally led the charge, boosted morale, and completely crushed the enemy.
Under normal circumstances, with the Uchiha army under the command of its various commanders and the enemy's morale not having collapsed, could they truly unleash such formidable power?
Uchiha Takashi was unaware that matters concerning the military could not be taken lightly. He could not entrust the future of the Uchiha to an army with unknown combat capabilities. He had to find a way to test the current combat strength of the Uchiha army.
Then, one word popped into Uchiha Takashi's mind... exercise!
That's right, it's a drill! In ancient times, this would be called training; in modern times, it's called a drill.
As a modern person Uchiha Takashi had watched quite a few military films, among which the most common were red-blue force-on-force exercises.
This involves dividing the army into red and blue forces, placing them on a battlefield, and having each side treat the other as an enemy, allowing them to fight freely until a victor is determined.
There was no script, nothing else; only the directing department was involved. It was a complete confrontation between the two sides, treating them as mortal enemies.
This is used to test the army's combat effectiveness and the commander's command ability.
Although the mindset of the troops being tested might differ slightly due to the nature of the exercise, it still provides a general assessment of their combat capabilities.
Furthermore, if the exercise were to be conducted against the Uchiha Uchiha, given their competitive nature, they would most likely genuinely treat their opponent as an enemy.
Without hesitation, Uchiha Takashi immediately began formulating a military exercise system.
First, the training ground needed to be large. Fortunately, there was a wooded area near the Uchiha headquarters, so we could simply drop the troops in there for the exercise.
Next, it's crucial to ensure the safety of the soldiers while simultaneously engaging in Ninjutsu combat; this is somewhat complex.
After all, many Ninjutsu cannot be fully controlled, and during the exercise, the directing staff needs to monitor the situation in real time to confirm the number of soldiers killed.
In modern times, this is naturally not a problem. Real-time monitoring is easily achievable using satellite surveillance and electronic communication technology.
But the problem is, this is ancient times, where did these technologies come from?
They had already figured out how to ignite the Uchiha's fighting spirit and how to inspire their enthusiasm for the exercise.
Simply tell them that the winner is more outstanding, stronger, and has superior overall strength, and will receive rewards from the family and the country.
Those who lose don't need any special punishment; they only need to see the rewards the winners receive, and that will put pressure on them.
This is the Uchiha's underlying code. Running the underlying code directly will achieve the desired effect, without any penalty.
Therefore, the most crucial aspect lies in how to conduct real-time monitoring; that's the key point. Ninjutsu and similar techniques are not actually that important.
As long as real-time monitoring is possible, then let these people keep their tempers in check, and the directing department can make the final decision. So there aren't actually many restrictions on Ninjutsu; the main issue is real-time monitoring.
Just then, Uchiha Takashi thought of the Hyuga Clan's Byakugan. Could he send the Hyuga Clan onto the battlefield as surveillance, letting them monitor the armies' battles?
Thinking of this, Uchiha Takashi's mind suddenly cleared. That's right, aren't the Hyuga Clan members capable of conducting surveillance over a wide area? And it's surveillance without any blind spots!
Wouldn't this be perfect for surveillance? And real-time surveillance at that, allowing the command headquarters to monitor the battle situation in real time.
As for how to report the battle situation immediately, it's actually quite simple: place a mark on each Uchiha who participated in the battle.
Each mark is different; when a mark disappears, it makes a "pop" sound and releases a large cloud of smoke.
Furthermore, each person carries a unique mark, which can be activated individually for a specific person. When the command department is monitoring, whoever is determined to be dead can simply have their mark removed by releasing smoke.
With these, all that's needed is to control the battlefield and keep it completely under the Hyuga Clan's surveillance. If they want to expand, there are many ways to do so.
For example, setting up multiple director monitoring stations, with a member of the Hyuga Clan assigned to each station, would allow for wider-area surveillance.
Alternatively, after the Uchiha Yamanaka Clan Uchiha clan in the future, their Mind Body Transmission Technique could be used to expand the range of real-time monitoring.
Sure enough, as long as we don't give up, there's always a way. The current situation and conditions are rather rudimentary, so let's just do it this way for now.
Soon, a notice was posted in the Uchiha military camp. "Notice: All Uchiha soldiers will be participating in a large-scale military exercise soon."
The so-called exercise involves dividing soldiers into two teams, one designated as the Red Team and the other as the Blue Team, and placing them in a battle across a 60-kilometer radius battlefield.
Please note that while the opposing force should be treated as an enemy during the exercise, you must ensure that no one in your tribe suffers casualties.
The command headquarters will monitor the battlefield situation in real time and report who has been killed immediately to ensure the fairness of the exercise.
The purpose of the exercise was to assess the combat effectiveness of the troops and the command and control capabilities of the commanders. This exercise primarily tested the combat capabilities of individual soldiers and the on-site command and control capabilities of the commanders.
Further tests will be conducted on the commander's command abilities in various aspects.
The winning side in this exercise will receive the title of Family Honorary Soldier, and will be rewarded by the family with a cash prize and a special iron medal. Those who perform exceptionally well will be awarded a silver medal.
The losing side shouldn't be discouraged; there will be no punishment, but they will also miss out on any rewards.
The purpose of this exercise is simply to test everyone's combat capabilities and select the teams with stronger teamwork. Everyone should participate in the exercise with the mindset of "friendship first, competition second".
We must all help each other and be united and friendly!
--Uchiha Military District General Command "
Overall, the notice seemed fine. It first explained the rules and then mentioned the rewards.
But why do the Nara Clan responsible for posting it feel like the last few sentences are stirring up trouble? It must be just my imagination...
