The gunshot was not loud, but it was extremely sharp. Not to mention Xiao Zheng, even Lin Xiaozhu on the other side of the phone heard it clearly. She hurriedly asked, "Brother-in-law, what's going on? I think I heard a gunshot. "
"Don't talk nonsense." Xiao Zheng said seriously. "That's firecrackers."
"Really?" Lin Xiaozhu asked curiously. "It's not Chinese New Year. Who would set off firecrackers?"
"Kid." Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "Okay. I'm just harassing a talented student like you. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first. There's a high-level meeting later. Just thinking about it gives me a headache. "
Lin Xiaozhu said crisply, "Brother-in-law, don't pretend in front of me. I've long heard that you have a high position in Xin Ao, and you've become a big shot under one person. Why? Are you looking down on a student like me? "
With a smile, Xiao Zheng told Lin Xiaozhu to study hard and live a good life. Then he hung up the phone.
Just as he opened the door and was about to go downstairs to find out what was going on, a strong male voice came from behind.
"Don't go downstairs."
Hearing that, Xiao Zheng turned around with a puzzled look, only to see a middle-aged man in a military uniform standing behind him.
He was about 50 years old, with a star on his shoulder. He had a medium build, but he exuded a strong aura. It was awe-inspiring.
"You are?" Xiao Zheng looked at General Qi and asked tentatively. "General Commander of the Long Formation?"
General Qi Smiled and nodded. He walked toward Xiao Zheng and said, "It's fierce down there. You just stay upstairs like a good boy. Going downstairs will only intensify the conflict. "
"It's my fault after all. It's not right to keep hiding. "Xiao Zheng said respectfully. "Moreover, I'm not a Long Formation person. How can I let you protect me all the time? "
"If you become a Long Formation person, isn't it natural for me to look after you?" General Qi said with a Smile.
"But-"
"Don't stand here talking." General Qi waved his hand and smiled. "Let's go to my office. The following matters will take some time. "
Xiao Zheng had no choice but to follow General Qi into the commander-in-chief's office.
The decoration was very simple, but it was filled with a solemn aura. The desk lamp on the desk was rather dazzling, taking away the brilliance of the chandelier on the ceiling, making the entire office appear rather dim. He slammed the huge figure against the cold wall.
It was eight o'clock in the evening, and it was already pitch black outside the window. In addition, this place was rather desolate. At a glance, there were only sporadic street lights, and it looked very lonely.
When General Qi returned to the office, he sat straight on the chair, took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer, and asked, "Do you want to smoke?"
"Smoke." Coincidentally, the cigarette in his hand was finished. Xiao Zheng didn't stand on ceremony.
"Take it." General Qi threw the whole pack of cigarettes to Xiao Zheng. Then he asked with a smile. "What do you think? Are you interested in the Long Formation? "
Xiao Zheng lit a cigarette and said with a rather strange expression, "I am no longer a soldier."
"The Long Formation is not an ordinary military establishment. We are not picky about identity, we only value strength. "After a pause, General Qi continued. "Of course, there is also a heart for the country and the people."
"For the country and the people?" Xiao Zheng couldn't help but laugh. "That's too big of a statement."
"It's not big of a statement." General Qi wasn't surprised by Xiao Zheng's reaction and shook his head. "It's just that people nowadays structure this sentence too heavy, too big. In my opinion, these four words are not difficult at all, nor are they big of a statement. "
Xiao Zheng sat up straight and asked with a serious face, "What do you mean?"
"When the police catch thieves, it is for the country and the people. When businessmen do charity, it is also for the country and the people. No matter what their intentions are, as long as they do it and do something practical, it is for the country and the people. In other words, in the future when the enemy invades and the country goes to war, if you dare to go to the battlefield to fight the enemy and wave the flag, it is for the country and the people. This is also my understanding of the greatest for the country and the people. "General Qi said with a Smile. "What, you are from the 38th Division's artillery battalion, the best soldier Old Jiang has ever trained, don't you even have this little bit of awareness?"
Xiao Zheng opened his mouth and then said with a serious expression, "That's it?"
"What else do you think we can do?" General Qi countered. "You young people dare to fight and fight, it is a good thing, but your brain is full of useless conspiracy theories. If you do your job, you are dutiful. If you do a little more, you are outstanding. In this day and age, no one is forced to be a hero, whether for public or private reasons. Heroes can be mass-produced after the country advertises it. In the army, the real mainstay are the soldiers who dare to fight and fight. Of course, if you want to argue with me about the phenomenon of good people and bad people in the army, then I can only tell you that it is not only in the army. As long as there are people in the world, there is no absolute fairness. Truth, kindness, and beauty are things that can be conned. How can people not have selfishness and bad habits? Saints are saints because they know how to control their selfishness better than ordinary people. "
"Do you understand what I'm saying?" General Qi smiled and took a drag of his cigarette.
Xiao Zheng nodded and said with emotion, "After listening to what you said, I really feel that I live too narrow-minded."
"Narrow-Mindedness is not wrong, nor is it a crime." It's not a crime, "General Qi said with a smile. "Don't look at me talking non-stop, talking about a lot of principles in my head. But if you want me to do it, I still can't do it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have snatched you from Old Jiang's hands. "
"Snatched?" Xiao Zheng asked with wide eyes. "When did I become so popular?"
"Don't be humble, kid. Just like what you did abroad. Although it is not a good thing, your ability is still worthy of recognition. If you can change the direction and do something different, maybe I can benefit from it. "Whether it was the way General Qi spoke or his attitude, it made Xiao Zheng feel comfortable. No matter how he looked at it, it seemed like a casual chat between friends. It was not listening to the teachings of a high-ranking military general.
Xiao Zheng was soft, but not hard. Even if the old director whipped him or hammered him with a big stick, he would not be obedient and surrender. But as long as he was reasonable and moved, Xiao Zheng's psychological defense would usually be broken by the old director, and he would be ashamed.
Just like how Jiang Qing used his arrogant attitude to fight for a legal status for her, but he did not care at all. Not only did he not care, but he also mocked him. He did not appreciate it at all. But at this moment, the old general only needed a short conversation to move Xiao Zheng, and it also convinced him of some of the prejudice he had before.
"But I am usually very busy," Xiao Zheng said regretfully. "Maybe I don't have much free time."
"I understand." General Qi nodded with a smile and took a puff of his cigarette. "After all, you are a billionaire boss now. Of course, I can't let you go to secret training and start from scratch. With your level, there is no need for that. "
"Then you mean —" Xiao Zheng asked tentatively.
"The country has been disarmament. The goal is to take in the elites and remove the useless and worthless organizations. You also know that the war now is fought with high technology, unlike the previous human wave tactics. But in addition to high technology, many of the tactics and experience left by the older generation are also crucial and indispensable. For example, the most advanced Marine Corps in the United States, their equipment is world-class, right? But Iraq can't take down the short guns and cannons. Why? They rely too much on technology and weapons, resulting in the lack of tactics and troops. A small street fight can beat them back to their original state, a group of headless flies. "General Qi lit up his cigarette and stared at Xiao Zheng with a burning gaze. "Do you know the value of a well-rounded soldier like you to the troops?"
