Chapter 160: Convincing the Public

Looking at the tens of thousands of soldiers below the stage, Shen Zheng pondered what he should say.

After thinking about it, he finally understood what these soldiers wanted to hear most.

It was not encouragement for them to bravely rush to the battlefield and sacrifice themselves in the insect tide to protect their relatives and friends.

Nor was it the promise of a salary increase.

What they needed was faith, faith in their own body - faith that it could overcome all difficulties and transform into a divine body through their continuous efforts. [

"I was also a soldier." He stood on the stage and said loudly. "You may not believe that I was just a soldier who could not even go to the battlefield, because at that time I was only matched with foundation-building insects."

Many soldiers were stunned. They had heard a lot of legends about Shen Zheng, such as the extremely young insect controller, the insect controller who made terrifying progress, and the super modulation master...

But they could not imagine that Shen Zheng had such a past.

"You may not think that my family background is not noble. I am even just a high school dropout who works everywhere." He continued, "I was bullied by those hooligans and looked down upon by those rich people. In the end, I joined the army to support my only sister and get money for her medical treatment. It was just for the military assistance fund."

Some soldiers have already shown surprise in their eyes.

But more people have a good impression of Shen Zheng, a kind of sympathy. Most of them have a bad family background and are just ordinary civilians. When they heard that their immediate superior, the powerful insect controller, had such a past and had the same family background as themselves, they immediately felt a kind of intimacy with Shen Zheng.

"But I never gave up!" Shen Zheng said loudly, "I firmly believe that as long as I keep working hard, I will eventually become a strong man! I didn't give up on myself, so God didn't give up on me either. He gave me a chance, a chance to become a strong man! And who do you see now? Answer me!"

"The commander of the Seventh Defense Zone!" Led by some officers, the soldiers answered loudly.

"I believe that one day, one of you can also stand on such a parade stand and review your soldiers!" Shen Zheng said loudly: "Persistence, confidence, and hard work can defeat the enemy!"

"Persistence, confidence, and hard work can defeat the enemy!" Nan Feng repeated this sentence again, raising his arms and shouting.

"Persistence, confidence, and hard work can defeat the enemy!" Tens of thousands of soldiers straightened their chests and shouted loudly, the sound was loud and clear, and it made people's blood boil.

From that day on, this sentence became the eternal motto of the Seventh Defense Zone Corps. Every soldier kept it in mind, and the first officer would convey this sentence that became the soul of the corps to the new recruits.

Before leaving the reviewing stand, Shen Zheng couldn't help but look back at the tens of thousands of soldiers.

As military personnel and soldiers in the military region, they are destined not to live a peaceful life. When the insect tide surges, it is time for them to fight on the battlefield. At that time, how many people can I save from death?

"Nan Feng." He said softly.

"Yes." Nan Feng followed him closely.

"Convene a formation leader meeting." Shen Zheng said, "I want to know all the details of the legion."

"Yes!" Nan Feng nodded, "But before that, can you arrange your family first?"

"Just arrange someone to help me do this, they can understand me." Shen Zheng said. [

"I understand." Nan Feng nodded.

Becoming the legion commander does not mean that your power becomes greater and you can get more, but also means that the burden on your shoulders is heavier.

The fate of tens of thousands of people is in your own hands. Do you treat them like ants, or treat them as people with flesh and blood, families, lovers and friends?

Shen Zheng doubts that he will choose the latter. He didn't want to be separated from his family, so he didn't want these people to be separated from their families. But fighting is inevitable. In order to give them a higher chance of survival, Shen Zheng decided to really take responsibility for them and really shoulder the burden of the legion commander.

Nan Feng arranged for someone to bring Shen Ying and others to the legion headquarters, the legion commander's residence, and personally summoned ten formation leaders and corresponding officers directly under Shen Zheng to the headquarters' large conference room.

After Shen Zheng sat down in the chairman's seat, the other officers sat down neatly. Shen Zheng looked at these military elites and said slowly: "What I want to say is very simple. Although I am an insect controller, I am also a human being. As a human being, I will not be willing to see my own kind shed blood on the battlefield fighting against the Zerg. I don't know you yet, and you don't know me, but today I will only let you understand one thing: Anyone who doesn't take ordinary soldiers in the legion seriously, I won't take him seriously either."

"Yes!" The officers responded loudly.

"In the future, we must pay attention to the training of soldiers." Shen Zheng said, "More sweat in peacetime, less blood in war. But we can't just focus on training without paying attention to nutrition and rest. I don't have much experience in this area, I just put forward this suggestion, and I hope everyone can grasp it well. Nan Feng, you also help me to formulate a detailed training plan, and all officers also help, brainstorm, and build our seventh defense zone into the strongest military zone with truly elite soldiers and strong generals."

"Yes!" Nan Feng nodded solemnly.

"I actually know nothing about managing the army." Shen Zheng relaxed again and smiled at everyone. "So I usually have to go ahead of everyone to help me. I would like to thank everyone in advance."

"You're welcome, Commander." The officers waved their hands one after another, with smiles on their faces.

"Why, a military meeting is being held now?" At this moment, a loud voice sounded, and then Lu Jin opened the door and strode in.

"Deputy Commander? Why are you here?" Shen Zheng stood up with a smile.

Other officers did not dare to be as casual as him. These officers could only watch Lu Jin on TV. Only a few of them had had the opportunity to see Lu Jin in real life. At this time, Lu Jin came to their conference room, one by one. Both nervous and excited, they stood up in a hurry.

"Stand at attention and salute!" Nan Feng straightened his body and shouted loudly, and all the officers stood up and saluted Lu Jin.

"I'm sorry, everyone." Lu Jin said with a smile, "A little girl said that today is his brother's birthday, and it would be boring for them to celebrate it as a family, so he invited me over. I was thinking about things in the legion. Although it is important, we cannot delay such an important event as a birthday, so I want to borrow your legion commander without delaying your affairs, right?"

"No delay!" Nan Feng shouted excitedly.

"You talk quickly." Shen Zheng smiled, shook his head, and turned to Lu Jin. "Deputy Commander, you can't do this. Your subordinates are actively working, but you come here to hold them back. What does it sound like?"

"Haha!" Lu Jin couldn't help laughing and patted Shen Zheng on the shoulder. "Shen Zheng, the biggest task of an insect controller is to continuously improve his own strength. It's not good to be distracted by these things all the time."

"That's someone else." Shen Zheng said with a smile, "But it doesn't apply to me, right?"

"Indeed." Lu Jin looked at Shen Zheng and nodded slowly. "With your rate of progress, you can do nothing for two years, and your progress is faster than other insect controllers. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Xiaoying and the others are impatient, so you can just leave the legion's affairs to us. Give it to your adjutant. Da Lan told me that this guy named Nan Feng is a good man and he will not distract you."

"Then it's all up to you." Shen Zheng nodded to Nan Feng. [

Hearing the deputy commander personally praising himself, Nan Feng couldn't help but get excited, and immediately stood up and saluted again: "Yes!"

"Let's go, let's go." Lu Jin smiled and pulled Shen Zheng away.

"Everyone." After the two left, Nan Feng was still excited. He looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice. "You all saw it, right?"

"Yes." Several officers nodded. "We all saw it."

"Which corps commander has ever enjoyed this honor?" Nan Feng asked everyone excitedly, "This is the first day of our corps commander's tenure. A total of three corps commanders took office on this day, but where is the deputy commander? You didn’t go, you just came to our seventh defense area. Why are you here to celebrate our regiment commander’s birthday? Don’t you feel proud?”

"Proud!" Many officers nodded excitedly.

"I can't believe it." An officer said tremblingly, "The deputy commander actually came to our defense area in person. This is something that has never happened since I joined the army. Historically, only the commander of the army has given orders to go to the headquarters to see him. There is no precedent for the deputy commander to come to the defense area in person!"

"And it's the birthday of our regiment commander." Another officer said in disbelief.

"Did you hear it? This is an invitation sent by the family members of the corps commander to the deputy commander." An officer said, "This shows that not only our corps commander, but also the relationship between the corps commander's relatives and the deputy commander is not ordinary!"

"I have a secret tip." An officer looked around the crowd and whispered.

"Come and tell me!" Many people asked eagerly.

"I have a friend at the headquarters. I heard from him that before the three corps commanders took office, the deputy commander took them to an insect den to hunt insects for practice, and they encountered danger." The officer said, "And at that time, thanks to Our legion commanders, Karoka legion commanders and Qu Xiang legion commanders can come back alive. The reason why Mr. Luther, the person in charge of the reserve generals' residential area, was promoted to the insect controller is because our legion commanders brewed incredible insects. nuclear."

"I only heard that the commander of our regiment is a genius in the art of mixing. I didn't expect that this matter is related to him!" An officer sighed. "A sixty-year-old man can become a pest controller. Oh my god, can our army commander prepare the best insect core?"

"Don't be stupid." Another officer shook his head, "Not even the protoss can easily concoct the Insect Core."

"Everyone." Nan Feng interrupted everyone's conversation and said solemnly. "No matter what, we already know that we are following an incredible legion commander. Whether it is personal strength or personal connections, he is an absolute strong man. It is our lifelong honor to follow such a strong man. , What’s even more rare is that he doesn’t only care about himself like other insect controllers, but cares about all our soldiers at the same time. If we don’t work hard to cooperate..."

He looked around at everyone and asked in a low voice: "Are you worthy of this honor?"

"No!" Everyone said in unison.

He nodded and said solemnly: "From today on, all of us must keep in mind the army commander's instructions. We must build our seventh defense zone into the strongest defense zone among the twelve military regions, and turn our army commander into the tenth military zone." The strongest legion in the Second Military Region! Are you confident?"

"Yes!" Everyone said in unison.
