Chapter 1060: I Underestimated His Degree of Lack of Virtue
The square was abuzz with people’s voices, but apart from Ren Xiaosu, no one could hear it anymore.
After a long time, the thick voice suddenly said, “Although this kid is a bit lacking in virtue, then I find it quite interesting, after all, in this chaotic world cheek is not of much use, instead, a bit lacking in virtue in order to bring the 178 Fortress to live together.”
The spirits slowly calmed down, and a spirit suddenly said, “Commander Li, do you think this kid is capable of assuming the position of commander?”
The thick-voiced Commander Li said, “Anyway, I think it’s okay, when my old commander reprimanded me, he always said that I was too decent, and that if I kept preaching about benevolence and morality to the enemy, I would get all the generals and soldiers of Fortress 178 killed. At first I didn’t understand why he said that, but then I realized that he was right, because our enemies won’t tell you that.”
“Alright, since Commander Lee said that, there must be some truth to it,” said the spirits.
“However,” Commander Li’s words changed, “I’m a bit worried about the kid who will succeed this kid in the future, although it’s still too early to say this, but according to the convention of the 178th Fortress Commander’s inheritance it would have to be someone who doesn’t want to be the Commander, and then the old Commander would force the new Commander to take over, and in that case, with the character of this lackluster thing, his successor must be miserable right ……”
“Commander Li you still have the heart to care about this?” The spirits said, “All I fucking care about right now is when this kid will finish the rest of his story for me!”
Early the next morning, Ren Xiaosu woke up refreshed and packed up his things, ready to follow Zhang Jinglin on foot to the outpost.
As a result, Xu Xian Chu came to inform Ren Xiaosu that today’s trip was temporarily canceled, Commander Zhang had more important things to do nowadays, so the plan to walk to the sentry post needed to be postponed for a few days.
Ren Xiaosu froze for a moment, “Ao, it’s fine, then I’ll just wander around the ledge for the next few days.”
He secretly pondered, something that could make Zhang Jinglin change his itinerary must be very important to be right, and the fact that Xu Xianchu didn’t tell him what exactly was going on meant that the level of secrecy was very high.
Ren Xiaosu asked, “Can I ask what it is?”
“I don’t know,” Xu Xianchu said with a smile, “Don’t look at me like that, I really don’t know, in order to ensure that this matter is top secret, Commander Zhang communicates with some of his colleagues who are performing this task without using communication equipment, satellite phones can’t even be used.”
Ren Xiaosu was puzzled, to know that Xu Xianchu could be tasked with protecting Zhang Jinglin on a regular basis, even such a close person didn’t know what was going on, the level of secrecy was too high, right?
What could it be?
But Ren Xiaosu is not a nosy person, what he should know, he will know sooner or later.
Moreover, Zhang Jinglin’s temporary matter was just what he wanted.
Ren Xiaosu thought to himself that he hadn’t just met a group of friends, taking advantage of this free time was just the right time to enhance his relationship with his friends!
After Xu Xianchu left, Ren Xiaosu became the most idle person in the 178 Fortress, he put on a duck-tongue cap and walked out, putting on the duck-tongue cap is to prevent being recognized by too many people, since yesterday from the long street, this 178 Fortress is afraid that one-third of the people know what he looks like.
Ren Xiaosu went all the way to Bronze Bell Square, when he arrived there, he found a young man standing under the bronze bell with a newspaper.
As he approached over he heard the noisy voices of the Yinglings, “Group 1 look at the top half of the first page, Group 2 look at the bottom half of the first page, Group 3 and 4 get ready, everyone, before the target burns the newspaper, everyone make sure to complete their tasks!”
“Roger!”
“Roger!”
“Promise to complete the mission!”
“Use me in the first battle, use me to win!”
Ren Xiaosu cried and laughed, how is this reading a newspaper still like fighting a war, he seriously suspected that these 200,000+ Ying Ling had already completed their self-integration, maybe they had already made a well-organized group army.
If that was the case, as long as the spirits could be summoned to the Spirit Temple, then these spirits could instantly form a fighting force.
Moreover, some of these spirits have been together for nearly two hundred years, and the least of them have been together for sixteen years, so I’m afraid that this kind of tacit understanding is not comparable to that of any army…….
However, just at this moment, one of the Yingling suddenly said, “Wait, you guys see that lackluster thing even came back!”
The thick-voiced Commander Li ordered, “Don’t mind him, let’s read the newspaper first!”
At this time, the young man holding the newspaper looked at the bronze bell and said, “Seniors, the new conscription has begun, my physical examination has been passed, and we will all be comrades in arms from now on. Do you know that the Northwest is very prosperous nowadays, this prosperity is as you wish, and I will defend this fortress with my life just as you guard it.”
178 The reason why the men of the fort burned newspapers to the spirits was that whenever good things happened in the Northwest in the papers, it was hoped that these pioneers would see them even in their springs.
There was a fire pit in this Copper Bell Square that was specially used to burn newspapers, and there were people who cleaned it regularly, so this was kind of a tradition of Fortress 178.
At this moment, the Yinglings smiled one by one and said, “This kid looks good to me, he might be company commander material in the future.”
“I think it can be a brigade commander!”
“Maybe he can be a commander, hurry up and replace that lackluster thing ……”
“Wait, that lackluster kid is walking over!”
“What does he want?”
But he saw Ren Xiaosu pull out a torch from somewhere and said to the young man, “Let me help you.”
The young man recognized Ren Xiaosu’s appearance, “Young …… Major?”
Ren Xiaosu smiled and said, “I just arrived at Fortress 178, and I wasn’t able to do anything for the martyrs, so let me burn this newspaper, is that okay?”
The young man looked at his own Young Marshal’s sincere expression and moved, “Okay.”
Saying that, Ren Xiaosu took the newspaper from the young man’s hand.
Originally, the young man had only brought a box of matches with him, and with the speed at which the matches lit the newspaper, the Yinglings still had time to memorize all the contents of the newspaper, after all, everyone had trained for so long.
But switching to torches, it was a completely different story.
When the Yinglings saw the torch in Ren Xiaosu’s hand, they were instantly shocked: “Stop it, you kid!”
“Crap!”
“I still underestimated the extent of his lack of virtue ……”
The blazing fire ignited, and the Yinglings were on the verge of despair as they looked at the rapidly burning flames.
After the young man left, Ren Xiaosu suddenly laughed: “Okay, there is no need to rush to scold me, just kidding with you guys, I specially bought today’s Hope Media newspaper, this time you guys can take your time to read it.”
Saying that, Ren Xiaosu took out the newspaper from the storage space, and spread it on the ground squarely, and she sat next to the newspaper to protect it from being blown away by the wind.
