The weapon of the country

Shen Han pushed away other documents on the table and looked at her, "Do you want to listen to my opinion? Of course, you can definitely tell me that you don't want to."

"I'm afraid to listen to your opinion. You are so eloquent and point to people's hearts. I'm afraid that I will obey you like Colonel Zhuang." She looked directly at Shen Han, but admitted, "But I want to hear your opinion."

She made no secret of being wary of Shen Han, after all, she had stated in the first official reply that she and Shen Han belonged to different factions.

"You are a pioneer, and you think about your latecomers. So you deny the facts, so that when they choose this path, they can't see what path they chose?"

Channing lowered his head, but breathed heavily, suppressing the emotional shock.She could understand what Shen Han meant.

"This is a road full of thorns. The road of female soldiers is more difficult than that of male soldiers. Is this situation right or wrong? Is it wrong? I want to put an end to this kind of thing, I want to change the environment, but even if You and I have tried our best, and it is impossible to succeed in a few years. All female soldiers who choose this path today and tomorrow, before changing, have to face this status quo, discrimination and even hatred , you should not deprive them of their right to know. What happened to you will not happen to each of them, but the same bad thing may happen to one of them. Only the most tenacious and tenacious really Only people can go on, if you don’t tell them this possibility, let them think that a thorny road is full of flowers, how many people will be broken and bloody by your concealment, and fall into despair after recognizing the reality?”

When he said the last two words, his tone was stern. He just sat behind the desk, the lines of his shoulders and back in the shadows were like a mountain, and Channing had the illusion that the mountain was pressing down on her.

She closed her eyes, clenched her fists, and said in a low voice, "Why... are you forcing me like this."

"You refuse anyone's comfort, refuse anyone to sympathize with you because of your gender, because of what happened to you. Then today I only regard you as a future commander."

Qian Ning suddenly looked up at him, Shen Han said in a more soothing tone, "Don't look at me like that, you have self-knowledge, you know that you have the qualities required by a commander, and you also have the confidence to be an excellent commander. No matter what you do No matter what choice you make at one time, don't forget this." Then he gestured to the door with his palm.

After all that was said, she hadn't left yet.Shen Han looked at her again.

"In this matter, everyone who talks to you has their own position and interests. The commander-in-chief of the Central Military Academy told you to think about the female students in the future, because you don't want to make a big scandal; I tell you to hide it. The fact that they may have harmed them is because I don’t want to take joint and several responsibility for your withdrawal of the accusation. But every sentence that you can listen to has its truth. There are so many truths in the world, and there are also many contradictory truths. Don't try to make a perfect choice, there is no perfect choice, every choice requires you to carry something and live up to something else. You just make, Channing's choice."

She seemed to take root under her feet, growing in front of Shen Han.

"...If you were me, how would you choose."

What a ridiculous question.

How could he be her? How could Shen Han think about things in Qian Ning's situation.

Shen Han could only say, "Sorry, I can't be you."

That night, the lights in Shen Han's dormitory were on for a long time, and Zhuang Ye and Shen Han didn't see each other until they turned off the lights.

The night was quiet and gentle, and it was hard to imagine that after such an incident, it still enveloped the base as peacefully and silently as every day before.

Deep and shallow darkness outlined the lines of their bodies, Zhuang Ye blinked, "Are you drafting your resignation letter?"

Zhuang Ye's special status in the Southern faction will always allow him to be shared with specific information in time, such as the conversation between Shen Han and Major General Wu today.

"Still making drafts." Shen Han looked normal, but his mind was tired, so he leaned on the railing and joked with his words, "Being kicked out from here, I have to make connections and find my next job as soon as possible."

Zhuang Ye couldn't help chuckling, "Where do you want to go, maybe I can help you?"

Shen Han rubbed his chin, "The military academy is good, but you don't need the help of Colonel Zhuang, it's not your Central Military Academy. I'm going back to my National Defense Military Academy. There should be a market for a 30-year-old brigadier general. Some people still praise me for my eloquence today. "

Zhuang Ye burst out laughing, "It sounds like you have a lot of prejudice against our Central Military Academy."

But when he turned his face, he saw Shen Han's expression froze, Zhuang Ye restrained his smile, and asked seriously, "Why?"

Shen Han held onto the railing, logically saying that he shouldn't speak ill of Zhuang Ye's faction, this is to seduce Commander Zhuang's son and instigate other people's father and son to separate themselves.Qian Ning's phrase "obey what you say" has already reflected the southern party's dissatisfaction with Zhuang Ye being influenced by him.

But he wanted to be honest with Zhuang Ye.

"The Central Military Academy is a very good school. I have no doubt that the cadets it trains are soldiers with honor and fear of death."

Zhuang Ye said calmly, "I'm waiting for your 'but'."

Shen Han said, "'But', it emphasizes too much honor, and the students it teaches are too fearless of death."

Zhuang Ye didn't speak for a while, pursing his lips, showing a thoughtful expression.

"Perhaps the biggest difference between the Southern faction and the Northern faction is this." Shen Han said, "The Central Military Academy emphasizes honor, the justice of soldiers, and the glory of soldiers. When there is justice and glory, you sacrifice and dedicate. When there is no justice, what do you do? ?”

Zhuang Ye knows what the situation is "when there is no justice and glory", spreading revolution in the land of other countries, causing a large number of civilian deaths, or the secrets he has heard before, the northern military steals the scientific research secrets of the empire, and assassinates scientific research talents .

That project is not even a military project. Scholars who have nothing to do with war have devoted themselves to research, but the research results have great potential in military applications.Therefore, it is not just and honorable for the Federation to steal scientific research results and assassinate scholars involved in the research.But if there is no one to complete these unjust and dishonorable tasks, the Empire will bring great casualties to the Federation on the battlefield.

"Emphasis on justice and honor makes it easy to romanticize the battlefield. Going to the battlefield is not about 'sacrificing oneself with lofty beliefs', and death is not about 'a red flower blooming from the chest'." Shen Han looked into the distance and said He pursed his lips to lighten the heavy topic, "Maybe my prejudice against the Central Military Academy is just a prejudice, but I have witnessed with my own eyes that soldiers who had romantic illusions of justice and glory on the battlefield committed suicide in despair after being disillusioned."

"You hate the romantic fantasy of the battlefield, so you don't want Captain Qian to deny the truth, so that the female students who follow her as an example can't see the cruelty of the truth." Zhuang Ye said softly.

"Maybe I'm just too lazy to write my resignation letter."

"What would you do if it were you?"

Zhuang Ye asked similar questions to Qian Ning, but what he asked was what Shen Han would do, not what he would do if he were Qian Ning.

"One thing, it's not a big deal, but it's my pride." Shen Han said, "As a commander, I have the lowest casualty rate among my own. Brutal soldiers have been on the battlefield."
