Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

“You yourself work part-time in the Public Security Department, don’t you know the current situation in the country? You’re sending your juniors to take the police academy entrance exam, aren’t you putting them on a risk?” Tian Dan said anxiously.

"No way, Sister Dan, don't you know what our kids are like? They've never appeared that can threaten them!" Zhao Cheng looked at Tian Dan with some surprise.

Tian Dan would never have said such a thing before. Is it because she is older now?

"What are you looking at? I just feel sorry for those kids. Don't forget, their oldest, Weixin, is only sixteen, younger than your eldest grandson!" Tian Dan muttered, feeling a little uncomfortable under Zhao Cheng's gaze.

“Zhiwen and Zhiwu are almost of college age, but unfortunately their physical condition is not as good as their uncles’!” Zhao Cheng said helplessly.

If one's own genes are strong, the second generation is still okay; at best, they can inherit 60% of their strength. However, by the third generation, they basically only have 30% of their strength left.

Although he's only slightly better than some ordinary special forces soldiers, by the fourth generation, he'll probably just be an ordinary person.

"Stop! Don't you dare lay a finger on your two grandsons!" Tian Dan immediately stood up and said sternly.

Tian Dan could tolerate Zhao Cheng sacrificing his sons, but her grandson was absolutely unacceptable. That was Tian Dan's bottom line.

He and Zhao Cheng had already shed blood for the country, and their sons had also dedicated themselves to the country. Now, in his old age, he only had a few little ones to keep him company, and they would probably have to give up their lives when they grew up.

But the grandchildren can't continue like this. The Zhao family can't dedicate everyone to the country. It's not that Tian Dan has low ideological awareness, but because times have changed, and Tian Dan doesn't want the Zhao family's children to participate in that kind of fighting and killing anymore.

"We'll see. Let them choose for themselves; I won't interfere. But Wei Xin and the others either need to go to the police force or the military. The positions outside are no longer suitable for them!" Zhao Cheng said with a serious expression.

"Brother Cheng, isn't this a bit too cruel? Can't we let them choose for themselves?" Ye Juan asked with some concern.

"The country's future development will require more outstanding talents. The outside world is full of materialism, and places like the military or police, which require hardship, need talented people!" Zhao Cheng said.

Tian Dan did not refute Zhao Cheng's words, because such signs were already emerging.

Originally, those children of high-ranking officials would compete to join the army, but now very few do. There's no way around it; the outside world is much more exciting!

"So who do you plan to send to the police?" Pingping asked.

“Look, there’s still more than a year left, enough time for them to choose. And physical training can’t stop, including the grandsons! All of them need to keep training! When there’s an opportunity, I’ll take them to the headquarters to practice shooting and other tactics, and send them to the military camp for training during winter and summer vacations!” Zhao Cheng said.

Hearing his words, no one, including Tian Dan, objected. After all, it was for the good of the children; even if they didn't join the army, they could still get some exercise.

"Dad, Mom! I'm back!" Just then, a man's voice came from the front door. Zhao Cheng recognized the voice as that of his third son, Zhao Weijun.

"Why is the third brother back?" Zhao Cheng asked, somewhat surprised.

"Let's go out and take a look." Pingping was the first to step out of the room.

"Mom!" Wang Nana's voice followed, indicating that the couple had returned together.

A short while later, Wei Jun led Wang Nana to the living room of the main house.

"Dad!" As soon as Wei Jun entered the room, he immediately put down his luggage and gave Zhao Cheng a standard military salute.

"Hmm, why did you suddenly come back? You didn't say anything?" Zhao Cheng smiled and nodded, asking with some curiosity.

"Isn't it almost time for my performance review? I came back two days early so I could see you and the kids!" Wei Jun said with a smile.

"Wei Jun and Nana haven't eaten yet, have they? I'll go cook now!" Xiu Zhi stood up and said with a smile.

"Let's go cook and let the father and son talk!" Tian Dan and Ye Juan stood up, and Pingping took Wang Nana's hand and went out, leaving the father and son alone.

"Is there anything important for this performance review?" Zhao Cheng asked.

“There are indeed some things going on; things have been a bit turbulent on the border lately! I’ve come back to request orders!” Wei Jun said with a somewhat serious expression.

"About those organizations?" Zhao Cheng knew what it was about as soon as he thought about it. These past few years had been the time when those organizations were rampant, and many of them came from overseas, causing sabotage everywhere.

“Yes, they’ve become increasingly brazen in recent years. If we don’t deal with them seriously, things could get really bad!” Wei Jun said.

"What does the government mean?" Zhao Cheng asked.

“They are still mainly using blockade as their strategy, and some people are even advocating for a peaceful solution!” Wei Jun said.

"No, the more we do this, the more arrogant they become. Have you forgotten what I told you before?" Zhao Cheng immediately became angry.

"Father, how could I forget! But we are under dual leadership after all, and we dare not act unless the government makes a firm decision!" Wei Jun's face was somewhat grim.

"There's no room for negotiation on this! I'll formally bring this up at the meeting in a couple of days. We can't let them continue to act so recklessly; we must use strong measures to knock down their outstretched claws!" Zhao Cheng knew all too well how dangerous they were, which is why he was so resolute.

Moreover, it was precisely because of our severe crackdown that those with ulterior motives gave up their attempts to stir up trouble in our country, and that the border regions were stabilized.

"Dad, you'd better have clear instructions on this matter, otherwise I'll be at their mercy again when we get back! You know, we've already lost several men. Those guys are too dangerous; they'll use any means necessary!" Wei Jun said angrily.

"Alright, I'll bring this up later. This time you're back, just stay home and spend time with your mother and the children. Don't feel burdened. When you go back, I'll make sure you return with orders!" Zhao Cheng knew the seriousness of the matter.

"That's great! I'll be waiting for your good news!" Wei Jun was much happier after hearing his father's assurance.

When the children got out of school, Zhihua and Zhiqi were so happy to see their parents that they sat down next to Wang Nana for dinner, their eyes filled with longing for their mother.

"Dad, Mom, I want to take Zhihua back to the border region. What do you think?" Wang Nana looked at her eldest daughter and couldn't help but ask her parents-in-law for their opinions.

"Nana, you'd better not think about taking the child back right now, since the situation there is still unstable! If it weren't for my duty, I would have had Wei Jun transferred to another post long ago!" Zhao Cheng said with a serious expression.

Seeing her father-in-law's serious expression, Wang Nana knew her wish had been dashed. She could only hug Zhihua tightly, her silence speaking volumes.
