Chapter 383, Pointed Sword Company
Zhang Jinglin slowly said, “Everyone’s considerations are correct, on the one hand, Zong’s entrenched in the north of the merchant road, as long as it’s still there, our merchant road with the Central Plains won’t be able to open up, and it’s intention of controlling the line of Dingyuan and Guanshan is actually very clear.”
Zhang Jinglin continued, “On the other hand, the western enemy could come over at any time, if we split our troops to go to Zong’s, it’s very likely that we won’t be able to defeat the western enemy, or even if he doesn’t arrive so coincidentally, we’ll surely have a troop loss if we fight Zong’s, and there’s a possibility that we won’t be able to defeat the western enemy by then.”
In the end, the afternoon was spent bickering about these two things, Zhang Jinglin summarized with all of them, he thought for a moment and said, “Risks go hand in hand, but if we don’t open up the trade routes, then the 178 fortress will only get weaker and weaker, and you all know that we sent some people pretending to be stragglers to the west, and that it is becoming more and more affluent there, whereas we are clamped down here with no resources , no technological development, no new talent, and almost even no clothes to wear.”
“We control a lot of mines in our hands, but these mines can’t be turned into our strength,” Zhang Jinglin said, “At this rate, maybe in another ten years, Fort 178 will not be able to hold back the enemies in the west, so we are forced to change now, we must get through this disaster before we can talk about the future. ”
Zhang Jinglin made it clear, it wasn’t that he hadn’t considered the risks, but under the risks, fighting the Zongs and opening up the trade routes was their best option.
Instead of waiting for death, it is better to let go.
Zhang Jinglin knew in his heart that Fortress 178 was stronger and more determined than rumors, but today’s situation was also more dangerous than the outside world had imagined.
But Zhou Yinglong and his gang of roughnecks didn’t care what their own Commander Zhang considered, as long as Zhang Jinglin said fight, then fight.
If you win or lose, we’ll talk about it later, just fight and be done with it.
178 Fortress may not be better than others, but this group of killing billet execution is the strongest.
However, just at this time Zhang Jinglin said, “Tomorrow on time meeting to study the strategy, late out of the penalty stand to listen, no qualification to speak.”
The others heard this and hurriedly guaranteed that no one would be late, and absolutely no drinking tonight.
Zhang Jinglin suddenly added, “Zhou Yinglong, that teenager called Ren Xiaosu is arranged to go to the sharp knife company under you and start as a soldier.”
As a result of these words, the entire conference room was even quieter than it was a moment ago, so much so that it was as if even the sound of breathing could not be heard.
They wanted to ask Zhang Jinglin something, but they saw that Zhang Jinglin had no intention of giving them a chance to ask and walked out of the conference room.
The moment Zhang Jinglin went out, the officers next to the sand table all directly exploded, “Is that the sharp knife company that the commander used to stay in?”
“It is said that the first two old commanders also came out from that sharp knife company ah, is our commander treating that kid as a candidate? Old Zhou, you’re the one who brought that kid in, what’s the situation with that kid?”
That sharp knife company was a very special existence, and no one had ever explicitly stated that the 178th Fortress Barrier’s commander candidate had to go to that sharp knife company.
But the fact was that every commander came out of there, having been thrown into the most dangerous place by the previous commander to exercise, and then rising up bit by bit.
The sharp knife company, as the name suggests, is the most dangerous combat sequence, see the mountain to open up the mountain, to kill the bloody road, can survive in the sharp knife company can be in the 178 fortress to convince the people.
It’s not that the company is so great, it’s that the company does the most dangerous work.
You have to have been to the most dangerous places to know what kind of fate each of your orders will bring to the soldiers at the base.
Slowly, after several commanders, the company became an even more special existence. Although no one said anything explicitly, everyone knew in their heart of hearts that the person who was suddenly shoved into the company was the one the commander valued.
As long as this person can survive and convince the public, that is basically the next commander.
Sixteen years ago Zhang Jinglin had also stuffed a person into the sharp knife company, but that person died in the war.
Now this Ren Xiaosu …… everyone does not recognize ah!
Zhou Yinglong was looked at by everyone’s eyes like a torch fire, immediately a little pissed: “Why are you looking at me, I just spent a few days with him, that kid is also a straggler, also stayed in the river valley area, looks soft and weak, there are injuries on the body, but it’s not clear how to get injured. But it looks like he’s not very capable of fighting, how do you mix with the Pointed Sword Company?”
Someone picked up, “The Commander couldn’t fight back then either, this is not a big problem, just ruthless enough.”
Some people are happy: “The commander was a medical soldier at that time, not even willing to open the gun, can be the same, why don’t you say how many people the commander saved back then?”
At this time, Xu Xianchu was not happy: “How to say my brother, how is my brother soft? We broke through the border mountain together at that time, thanks to him we passed through without any danger.”
Zhou Yinglong froze for a moment and said, “Right, right, that Ren Xiaosu is still Old Xu’s brother ah, you guys ask him about the specifics.”
“Xu Xianchu you kid is not good ah, know the situation does not give us to say,” a big man cheerfully laughed: “Hurry up to tell what is going on.”
“At first he was 113 barriers outside the market town on the stragglers, barriers in some people want to go to the realm mountain, to the market town to look for guides, the results of the market town people said, want to go to the realm mountain, non-ren Xiaosu lead the way can not be,” Xu Xianchu recollected: “that team began to look for him, the results of his play dumb do not want to go, and later on It seemed like there was some kind of deal, so he went. By the way, he is still Commander Zhang’s student, right? At that time, Commander Zhang was the teacher of the school in the market town, and then set him to be a substitute teacher, just to let him take over the school.”
Everyone looked at each other up, at that time it was to take over the schoolhouse, but as a result, now they are planning to let Ren Xiaosu take over Fort 178?
Although everyone wouldn’t go against Zhang Jinglin’s wishes, but this kid called Ren Xiaosu wanted to take over 178 Fortress, but also have to see if he’s qualified enough ah, if he can’t convince the public, even Zhang Jinglin won’t force the arrangement, this is the practice of 178 Fortress.
Give you a bunch of beasts, you have to catch it, that’s the truth.
Everyone felt that Zhang Jinglin’s arrangement with this hand was very sudden, because Ren Xiaosu was an outsider, and everyone didn’t understand it at all.
Someone asked Xu Xian Chu, “How is this Ren Xiaosu person?”
“There’s absolutely nothing to say about his character,” Xu Xianchu said, “I trust him anyway.”
Someone asked Xu Xianchu again, “Is this brother of yours also a Transcendent? What are his abilities?”
These words immediately put Xu Xianchu in question, “When he was in the Realm Mountain, he was able to lift adult males with one arm, so he’s definitely a Transcendent, no doubt about it, but what abilities he has, I really don’t know ……”
The group of Northwestern men in the conference room were all confused for a moment, you are his brother, you do not know what his ability? Does that make sense?
