Rebirth at the end of the world: I report to the country!

Chapter 49 49· “They never turned bad.”

"Okay, no matter whether you stay or not, we will start later. We have a lot to be busy with." Zhuang Zhihong looked at Team 21 again and ordered:

"Everyone, rest where you are! Wait for the logistics team to distribute equipment. If I don't come back later, follow the instructions on the radio!"

"yes!"

After responding neatly, everyone sat on the ground with almost the same movements.

In the military camp, resting in place is not really resting, it's just that the body no longer needs to be tense.

Several soldiers around Wu Ziquan were talking quietly.

Zhuang Zhihong himself left here directly and went to one of the row of buildings next to the camp.

"Report!"

Zhuang Zhihong walked to the door, which was ajar. Seeing that there seemed to be no sound of conversation inside, he said.

"Please come in!"

Someone responded immediately.

Zhuang Zhihong pushed open the slightly heavy door and let the sunlight shine into the room. He came to the soldier on the main seat who was dressed differently from himself. He first saluted, then looked forward and answered seriously and sonorously:

"Reporting to Deputy Commander Yu, the 21st Company has a total of 129 people. There are actually 129 people. There are 129 people who are willing to stay in Zhonghe City! The following is the list of company members!"

Yu Pansheng, who seemed to be about the same age as Zhuang Zhihong, raised his head when he heard this, looked at this subordinate and former comrade-in-arms, faced his eyes without even looking at him, and said with a smile:

"Okay, it's just the two of us, stop pretending to be respectful, and who is as respectful as you?

A few days ago, I had to ask you to write an 800-word self-reflection letter. "

"Deputy Commander Yu, this is what you said. I would rather obey your orders than respect you."

Zhuang Zhihong was not polite, but he just relaxed his upper body posture a little, and he still stood in front of the long table without sitting down.

Although he knew that his old friend would not care, he had to know something in his mind.

"To be honest, Lao Zhuang, these children are really beyond my expectations. The one who is willing to stay in the whole team like you is already the third one." After taking out a pen and paper and making a simple record, Yu Pansheng said.

"Although the rest of the team is not full, nearly all of them are willing to stay. Those who don't stay probably have physiological reasons."

"We always say that the generation that entertains themselves to death is the worst generation, but now it seems that is definitely not the case."

Yu Pansheng put down his pen with emotion.

He always felt that the new generation in the East was poisoned by entertainment, but now, he has changed his mind.

"Some things will not change as the environment changes. She will always be rooted in the hearts of all us Easterners. Their generation is not bad at all, and may be even better than us."

Zhuang Zhihong's smile became much gentler, and Wu Ziquan's look appeared in his mind again.

"Of course, it is more likely to be survivor bias. After all, we are here in a military camp."

Survivor bias means that when information is obtained only from survivors, the information may deviate from the actual situation.

For example, during the Spring Festival travel rush, you asked everyone on the bus if they had bought tickets. As expected, everyone's answer was that they had all bought tickets.

But it cannot be concluded that the probability of success in buying a ticket is 100% - the person who answers is the "survivor".

"But I believe that the new generation of the Eastern Kingdom who did not choose to be soldiers are not bad." Zhuang Zhihong continued.

"Just like we don't understand why today's children who have never experienced war like to watch animations and watch things called dramas made by those we hate.

But then I realized that what they like is just the animation itself, this kind of entertainment, not the enemy. On a righteous level, their thoughts have never changed, and they stand firmly with us.

If there is a conflict between justice and animation, they will abandon animation and choose justice without hesitation.

So why should we be pessimistic? In fact, we have never abandoned the things in our hearts. We just keep them in our hearts when we don’t need them. "

"Very good." Yu Pansheng nodded, "Originally, I was still worried that after a hundred years, our Donghui would gradually decay into what we once hated, but now it seems that it probably won't."

Zhuang Zhihong blinked and added: "The end has come, and you are still a hundred years from now? Are you overthinking it?"

"Captain Zhuang! Stand still! Who told you to behave like this in front of the commander!?" Yu Pansheng sneered at his old friend who deliberately choked him.

"Yes, yes!" Zhuang Zhihong smiled and stood up straight.

"You are still in this position after so many years just because you have always looked like a military gangster. Look at your colleagues in the same position. Which one is not ten years younger than you?"

"There are even soldiers who have served under you, and they have come over to you!"

Later, Yu Pansheng also found it funny and said with hatred for iron.

With Zhuang Zhihong's qualifications and abilities, he definitely shouldn't be in his current position.

It's not just because of inappropriate personality, it's mainly because Zhuang Zhihong himself doesn't care.

"This position is so comfortable. There are few things to do. And you know, I am more suitable for following orders than making decisions. I have tried my best to manage more than a hundred people. If you let me sit in your position, we will It’s probably a mess here.”

Zhuang Zhihong said with an indifferent smile.

"A guy with no ambition." Yu Pansheng smiled and shook his head, then knocked on the table:

"The number of people who voluntarily stay has far exceeded our needs. Now we are not choosing those who stay, but those who leave."

"My personal idea is to give priority to those children who are not only children, so that... if something happens, we can... minimize the impact on their families."

As Yu Pansheng spoke, his voice gradually weakened, a little regretful.

"Deputy Commander Yu, I have said before that I am not suitable for making decisions. You can make up your own mind." Zhuang Zhihong shook his head and did not answer.

The grief and pain of losing a child is never diminished by the fact that the child was not an only child.

As long as it is death, it is sad.

Zhuang Zhihong, who has experienced the war, knows it very well.

So he didn't want to make such a decision that affected many people's lives.

"You kid." Yu Pansheng saw Zhuang Zhihong's thoughts and sighed.

Then his voice was a little soft and he asked:

"Then let's change one thing, Lao Zhuang, do you want to continue with your transfer? Forget it, let's be blunt, do you plan to stay here?"

"What else can I adjust?" Zhuang Zhihong waved his hand without hesitation.

"You know, I have always been very cruel to the soldiers under my command. Just now a child said in front of me that he was afraid of me."

"You're afraid and you can't beat me, what can you do? These little bastards can only say bad things about me behind my back, tsk, that's called dirty!" Zhuang Zhihong seemed to be reminiscing.

"During ward rounds several times, I heard them say, 'If I die, I will not let you go even if I'm a ghost.' Deputy Commander Yu, you know, I have been a timid person since I was a child, and I rarely see ghosts." Yes, they all stayed. I will definitely be resented if I leave. I will really be tortured when the time comes. No, no, no. "

"So, I have to stay and be with them!"

Zhuang Zhihong waved his hands faster and faster.

"Are you afraid of ghosts? Zhuang Zhihong, do you want to listen to what you are saying? Aren't you a fucking lunatic who was the first to rush forward when you heard there was a ghost in front of you? I couldn't stop you at that time! Mom! ! I was forced to start a street fight with you!

You fucking made me write a self-reflection letter with you and read it aloud in front of everyone! Now you tell me you are afraid of ghosts! Zhuang Zhihong! Where is your face! "

After hearing Zhuang Zhihong's reasons, Yu Pansheng remembered this old incident and immediately laughed angrily, even wanting to pick up the pen on the table and throw it at him.

"Hey, Deputy Commander Yu, don't say bad words, and pay attention to your image! Be careful of being caught by the disciplinary inspection!" Zhuang Zhihong turned his head, and then explained: "This is different, one is a devil, and the other is a ghost,"

"Do you still know about discipline inspection? Then do you know that superstition is also a violation of regulations!" Yu Pansheng asked rhetorically.

"It's the end of the world, let me be superstitious." Zhuang Zhihong just said with a smile.

"But your transfer was originally arranged before, and now you..."

"No need to persuade."

Zhuang Zhihong looked serious and stood up straight:

"Report to the deputy commander, please allow me to stay in Zhonghe City! Join me in Team 21!"

Yu Pansheng looked at Zhuang Zhihong, silent for a few seconds, and then shook his head:

"Just like decades ago, I can't stop you even if I want to."
