Chapter 1057 Can't afford to lose

2days ago Science fiction 3
The crowds on the long street were bustling, but they consciously made a way to the 178th Fortress memorial bell for Ren Xiaosu and Zhang Jinglin.

Everyone knows this routine. The first thing the young marshal did when he entered the city was to pay tribute to the pioneers who died in the battle for the 178th Fortress.

Zhang Jinglin looked at the residents on both sides of the street as he walked. He suddenly asked Ren Xiaosu: Do you know why our 178 Fortress is fighting?

I almost knew, Ren Xiaosu smiled: But I haven’t figured out how to protect them and how to be the master of the northwest.

Zhang Jinglin smiled and said: I was like you at the beginning. When the old commander asked me to take over the 178 Fortress, I was confused and thought to myself that I was just a medical soldier. Why did I become the commander of the Northwest Army?

What happened later?Ren Xiaosu said curiously.

Later he put me in a lockdown room and told me that the commander was my only one, and that I could only lead everyone to survive. If I didn't agree, I would keep me locked up. Zhang Jinglin recalled: He also enlightened me. It is said that when his previous commander asked him to take over, he was not prepared, but he was hung up and beaten and agreed.

Ren Xiaosu was stunned. Why did the 178 Fortress Commanders have such tortuous roads to take office?

Seeing him surprised, Zhang Jinglin smiled and continued: It's strange to say that none of the commanders of the 178 Fortress were willing to be at first. They were all old commanders who forced the next one to submit like hooligans. Speaking of which, I am considered the gentlest current commander to the next one. How about it? Are you moved?

Mr. Zhang, you have not changed at all, Ren Xiaosu sighed.

When he was in the restaurant in the market town, Zhang Jinglin would grow vegetables in the yard by himself and smoke cigarettes. Although he was serious, he would never be depressed when getting along with him.

Ren Xiaosu said curiously: But why do you have to choose a candidate whom you don’t want to be the commander? There should be many people with strong abilities.

What the old commander told me was that you must choose someone who does not have this command position in your eyes, because the commander of Fortress 178 does not need ambition or desire for power, Zhang Jinglin explained.

Why?Ren Xiaosu was surprised.

Because the responsibility of Fort 178 is to protect, its commander must not have the intention to expand territory. Zhang Jinglin said seriously: The meaning of our existence is the people around us. If one day this chariot begins to be activated for one's own desire, then Fort 178 will open the countdown to its demise.Of course, this method of choice is not necessarily correct, but this is how I choose in previous generations. If I make a choice, it won’t be my fault. It was the old commander who asked me to do this.

Wait, why did you suddenly start to blame?!Ren Xiaosu was stunned.

But that being said, you must do a good job. Zhang Jinglin seriously explained: Of course, you are doing very well now. I have been paying attention to the barrier No. 144. I was worried that you were too young and could not manage a barrier well, but I found that I was overly worried.

Zhang Jinglin continued: Using the contract system to boost everyone's enthusiasm for clearing land is considered a right medicine for the entire Northwest. It must be admitted that you are much better than when I first took over.

Ren Xiaosu said curiously: What did Mr. Zhang look like when he first took over the 178 Fortress?

At that time, I had only the 178 Fortress, but just such a fortress made me very busy. Today, some people said they wanted to improve their military equipment and expand their troops. Tomorrow, some people said that there was not enough food. Anyway, these government affairs alone were like fighting wars. Zhang Jinglin sighed: At that time, there was also Zong who was making trouble secretly. There were many problems inside the 178 Fortress. Fortunately, they were all solved, otherwise they would be shameless to go down to see the old commander.However, after experiencing these things, I also concluded that no one is born to be a commander, and when he reaches that position, he will naturally make progress, and pressure will make people grow.

Although Zhang Jinglin sounds easy, Ren Xiaosu knew that Zhang Jinglin must have been difficult at that time.

Zhang Jinglin continued: Now you have a team, there are many talents in government affairs, and there are even command geniuses like P5092 in the military, so I am more at ease.What I am more interested in now is your plan for Daxing Northwest 20. Do you have any clues about the 30 version now?

10 is to lead high-end talents, such as Wang Yun, P5092, Ji Zi'ang, etc.

20 is to cast a wide net, bringing a large number of refugees to support the construction of the northwest, reclaim land and farm, and supplement technical talents.

This 2020 is still a surprise, because those refugees are not all refugees, and a large number of them are technical workers, engineers, university professors and other highly educated professionals from Tinder and Kong. Some of these people even hold patent projects, which is very strong for the technical supplement to the Northwest.

For example, one of the scientists is one of the project leaders of the micro pacemaker, and another is the project leader of the disposable endoscope.

Although these talents did not significantly help the war, a force cannot always think about war. Comprehensive development is the serious matter.

Only those who truly care about the development of forces will understand how important these people are.

Zhou Qingyang is really a fool. The other party only thinks that refugees are a burden, but never thinks that there is wealth in this refugee.

Therefore, Zhang Jinglin will praise the 20th version of Daxing Northwest. This abduction of refugees has really brought great surprises to the Northwest.

As for 30…

Ren Xiaosu shook his head and smiled bitterly: There is no clue yet to plan 30.

It's okay, no hurry, Zhang Jinglin smiled and said: Life is still long.

At this time, the two had already walked to the memorial bell. The huge bronze bell was hung above the square. Eleven tall stone tablets were scattered on the square, recording the eleven wars experienced by the 178 Fortress.

Behind the two were densely packed with 178 Fortresses standing, everyone silently staring at the backs of Zhang Jinglin and Ren Xiaosu in the square.

Zhang Jinglin said: Under this monument is a list of pioneers who died in previous wars, with a total of 279,281 people killed.The 178 Fortress was riddled with holes in the Eleven War, but we won every time.Xiao Su, as the current commander, I actually have nothing to teach you, but there is only one thing you must remember. Although victory or defeat is common in military affairs, Fortress 178 cannot lose. If you look at the people behind you who look at you with anticipation, you should understand that Fortress 178 cannot afford to lose.

Behind them are millions and tens of millions of Northwest people, and they really can't afford to lose.

Everyone says that a person must have the courage to accept failure. It doesn’t matter if he fails. The most important thing is whether you have the courage to get up.

But the Northwest Army is different. They must use courage, determination, wisdom, and even life to ensure the final victory of each war.
