What happened to the staff officer who couldn't get a word in during their first joint military exercise?

Some say he is the "vanguard of assault"

And he himself says

"I am someone who has already submitted to the country"

Today, let’s get to know

"the most beautiful revolutionary soldier of the new era"

Joint Operations Staff of the Central Theater Command

Li Can

Li Can is from Huoshan County, Liu'an, Anhui

He grew up listening to the stories of "advancing into the Dabie Mountains"

After graduating from high school, he successfully entered the Artillery Academy

Due to his outstanding academic performance

He was awarded third-class merit in his sophomore year

In 2022

Li Can studied at the National Defense University for a year

With an aura of excellence, he arrived at the theater command

However,

During his first joint exercise

Li Can was splashed with cold water

He found himself unable to contribute to the discussion

How to coordinate the ground equipment of the army

With the equipment at sea

Li Can recalled that at that time

He had no specific scenarios in his mind

Faced with the requirements of joint operations

He felt somewhat at a loss

Li Can set a goal for himself

To frequently enter the joint command hall

To actively sign up for all exercises

……

Hard work pays off

After a year, he became someone who could take the lead

Li Can said:

"As a staff officer involved in joint operations

It is essential to thoroughly understand

All branches of the military

Only after mastering it

Can you engage in deep communication with experts in these fields"

Walking into the office of the joint operations staff

The reporter found the desk very empty

Only a computer

A water cup, and a few books

But there are a suitcase and a folding bed

Li Can introduced that

Eating, sleeping, working, and training

Often all happen in this building

"When encountering special tasks

It can be as short as half a month

Or as long as a month

Without leaving this building"

He also said

That the commonly used information is all in his mind

"A large amount of information

Global hotspots

And some information we have on our own military

Are constantly changing"

Always on standby, ready to depart at any time

Is Li Can's work norm

Once there is a situation, he must immediately take his seat

He said:

"For those engaged in operations

The greatest ideal ambition

Is to truly step onto the battlefield"

Li Can's state

Is precisely the professional characteristic of a joint operations staff officer

"It's not about being on 24 hours a day with eyes wide open

It's about keeping your eyes wide open during work hours

And maintaining a state of vigilance during non-working hours

When you need to spring into action immediately

You can spring into action"

Colleagues say

Li Can's "drive" is all-encompassing

He is always the one who actively steps forward

Those who know him

All admire his tenacity and perseverance

……

Over the years

He has focused on combat and diligently strategized for war

He has been awarded first-class merit once

Second-class merit twice

Third-class merit twice

Thumbs up! Salute!
