341 Chapter 341 - Recruitment Propaganda
Ji Xiaoning contacted Fang Meng.
This one is from the main city of the Federation.
Senior generals of the military headquarters.
This kind of serious situation that concerns the entire federal government, and even the entire human race, Ji Xiaoning believes that only the main city of the federation has the ability to deal with the crisis.
Therefore, he directly crossed the level to contact General Meng.
Far away......
On the map of the coastal provinces of the South China Sea in the old era, the coastal frontline battlefield command center.
It has been almost a week since Ji Xiaoning's departure.
With the discovery of the whereabouts of the ninth-order king beast commanded behind the scenes, the situation in the East China Sea and the South China Sea became clear, and a large number of reinforcements and elite weapons and equipment continued to support the front line of the South China Sea, and the defensive pressure of the 36 military fortresses on the front line of the South China Sea was suddenly greatly reduced.
Coupled with the lack of the behind-the-scenes command of the ninth-order king beasts, the high-level beasts and king beasts could no longer gather a force, and gradually fought on their own, scattering the sand, the current battle situation on the front line of the South China Sea has entered the final stage of sweeping, the beast tide has automatically dispersed, and the human military has begun to walk out of the military fortress and clear out some scattered foreign beasts wandering near the military fortress.
At this time, the underground command center was holding a meeting of high-level officers with a not serious atmosphere.
Even Fang Meng, who had been reinforced from the main city of the Federation and had always been known as a mad demon in the army, was also present, and he did not leave the front line of the South China Sea.
is still responsible for sitting on the front line in the South China Sea.
Stabilize the situation.
As for Zhao Canglan, commander-in-chief of the South China Sea front, he was also present.
"According to the current speed of clearance, it is estimated that in about ten days, the task of clearing the remnants of the beast tide can be completed. An officer said excitedly.
"Now these strange beasts are frightened, I don't think we need to go out of the military fortress to clean up, the soldiers don't need to shed blood, these strange beasts have already fled to the deepest part of the wild area in a panic. β
"That's right, now there are thirty-six military fortresses, and every day there is a succession of good news. β
The atmosphere of the discussion was hot.
At the same time, they couldn't help but sigh and sigh.
"Who would have thought that not long ago, our front-line fortress was almost overwhelmed by this huge beast tide......
"Who says it's not, it's really dangerous, it's not a completely asymmetrical war in the end, the beast tide is like a black torrent, there is no end in sight, just like a steady stream, our military fortress is crumbling by the impact, if it weren't for our brave soldiers, who are not afraid of death again and again to fill the gap with flesh and blood, and take human lives to cast the Great Wall of flesh and blood... No matter which military fortress shows the slightest sign of being unable to hold on, it will definitely trigger a chain reaction, causing the collapse of the entire 36 military fortresses on the front line, and our military bases in the South China Sea will be submerged in the rolling beast tide like a torrent of broken embankments soon after, and will be wiped out, directly exposing the federal cities in the rear. β
"We owe a debt of gratitude to the teenager... The situation that was originally in danger was precisely because of him, who predicted the whereabouts of that ninth-order king beast earlier than all of us. β
"I think the most important thing is that it is because of that young man, who alone defends a military fortress, is the most morale-boosting, if it is not for the high morale he brings, in the kind of desperate predicament of no reinforcements, two heavy casualties, three consecutive high-intensity overnight battles, and an endless stream of four beast tides, I am afraid that the soldiers will not be able to hold on. It was he alone who brought a great boost to the morale of the whole front, and the will to fight was unprecedentedly condensed. β
An officer looked at Zhao Canglan, who was the commander-in-chief, with a slight hesitation on his face, and said: "General Zhao, General Fang, the conscription time of the Federation has always been July, August, and September, and it will be carried out in five stages, lasting a total of three months, until the end of September 30. Calculating the time, the fourth stage should be coming to an end, and the fifth stage, which is the last round of conscription, will be carried out soon, right?"
"But I heard that the number of conscription consultations this year, although compared with previous years, has increased slightly, breaking the highest number in ten years, but only the number of consultations has broken the record, the target of conscription is young youth and student soldiers, almost every young person is to consult, whether there is a mecha unit in the army, can you also drive mecha combat arms and equipment like humanoid sword weapons, when I heard that humanoid weapons are still in the research and development test stage, there is no way to mass produce them for the time being, and the army is not equipped for the time being, it is conceivable that these young people who come for new things almost do not plan to join the armyγ β
"Now that the development of the federation is becoming more and more prosperous, the material life is getting better and better, and there are fewer and fewer young people who can bear hardships and stand hard work, dare to charge into battle, and rush to the front line to shed blood and kill the enemy... In recent years, there has been a gap in the number of recruits every year, last year's recruit gap was 9.3 percent, and the previous year's recruit gap was 9 percent. In particular, the talent recruits prepared by senior officers have always been the most scarce in the army, and every year there are a large number of vacancies for officer posts, and the gap in the number of officers is even higher than the gap in the number of recruits, and I heard that this year it may reach a gap of 18 to 20 percent. β
Zhao Canglan said with a little amusement: "Zhang Zhisong, if you have something to say, just say it directly, when will you start to learn the same way as politicians, talk and start to play with your small intestines." β
Fang Meng's gaze also looked at Zhang Zhisong, with a deep look in his eyes.
The officer, who was called Zhang Zhisong, said with dark skin and embarrassment: "General Zhao, General Fang, you said that there is still a last month deadline for conscription, can we ask the Propaganda Department to change the conscription propaganda video?"
Zhang Zhisong hurriedly explained: "I'm not saying that the propaganda video made by the Propaganda Department is not good, the main thing is that although the recruitment propaganda video will be different every year, it is a format every year, and it lacks a change that follows the trend, I feel that young people nowadays are a little tired of watching the recruitment propaganda video in one format, perhaps, we can be a little flexible......
"For example?" Zhao Canglan became interested.
He really wanted to know what kind of medicine this old subordinate who had followed him for more than ten years suddenly learned to go around and around for a long time today, and what kind of medicine he wanted to sell in the gourd.
"General Zhao, you also know that my son has just been admitted to college this year, and I also intend to let my son, inherit his father's business, and also join the army after graduating from college. Due to the tight schedule, I have little time to get together with my boy, so whenever I have time, I will often contact my son and try to listen to some ideas of young people and understand young people, which is also a way to enhance the relationship between father and son. Zhang Zhisong said.
"When I was in contact with my son in the last month or two, my son mentioned the Internet the most... Internet celebrity Ji Xiaoning... Ji Xiaoning, who has entered the hot search list of Internet searches several times... Ji Xiaoning's battle video... Later I asked my son why?"
He said that now his classmates and friends around him are all discussing Ji Xiaoning, I asked why, my son said with a natural expression that it was because Ji Xiaoning was young, just the same age as their young people, easy to have a sense of substitution and spiritual proximity, and Ji Xiaoning was full of inspiration and idol worship, so I thought... Is it possible to take this time of the beast tide crisis, Ji Xiaoning's video of watching the lonely city alone, intercept a few of the most thrilling parts, and make a new recruitment propaganda video, since Ji Xiaoning can improve the morale of our army, then it can also enhance the enthusiasm of young people to join the army......"
Zhang Zhisong's words instantly brightened the eyes of the officers present and attending the military meeting.
This is indeed a viable approach.
It is easier for young people to worship young people, excluding special professionalism and industry, and young people's idols are more likely to appear in film and television stars and singers.
It is rare to worship people in their forties and fifties, or even in their seventies and eighties with gray hair.
This is the sense of mental distance.
It can produce a sense of substitution, and the vigorous high school students of seventeen or eighteen years old will never substitute themselves into the old age stage of seventy or eighty.
It's just that after thinking about it soon, a few people shook their heads slightly, feeling that the feasibility of this matter was not great.
Ji Xiaoning's identity alone is the biggest gully that cannot be crossed in the past.
This is a recruitment propaganda video.
It's not a cult of personality among the populace.
The protagonist in the recruitment propaganda video is actually a civilian, not a soldier, so is this still the most rigorous and solemn recruitment propaganda video?
But... If this point is removed, it is indeed a good idea to bring Ji Xiaoning to make a recruitment propaganda video.
If Ji Xiaoning's identity is a soldier... Even if it's just a new recruit egg.
At that time, you can also focus on publicity, genius Tianjiao joined the army, even Ji Xiaoning is willing to join the army, and maybe it can attract some talented young people to join the army, and the enthusiasm is not necessarily.
The officers present smiled wryly.
They knew it was just wishful thinking.
At this time, Zhao Canglan's expression was solemn, and he shook his head and said: "There is one thing, General Fang and I have not explained to you that the federal government has already issued a document to prevent all news from being transmitted to the outside world regarding the matter of this beast tide, No. 11 base, and Ji Xiaoning, so as not to cause some adverse effects or unnecessary social turmoil." β
Fang Meng on the side, since the beginning of the military meeting, has been silent.
He did not have the command of Zhao Canglan, and he took the lead.
As soon as these words came out, the officers present at the military meeting were all furious.
"This matter is very simple, what are the bad effects, Ji Xiaoning is kind to us!"
"These damn politicians will always only have politics in their minds, don't they care about the lives and deaths of other people! If it weren't for Ji Xiaoning guarding the No. 11 base alone, if it weren't for Ji Xiaoning deducing the traces of the movements of the ninth-order king beast in time, would the East China Sea front line and the South China Sea front line be able to guard such a clear situation under this unprecedented beast tide!"
Some officers were angry, and slapped the table indignantly and said straightly.
"We all owe Ji Xiaoning a life, not to mention gratitude, even Ji Xiaoning's exploits with his life have to be erased, these politicians who always only think about interests in their minds!"
"General Zhao, didn't we fight for Ji Xiaoning at the headquarters of our military region, this is Ji Xiaoning alone, willing to guard the No. 11 base alone, he fought hard for his merits and honors, and I Cao Yuan was the first to disagree!"
The officers blew up the pot.
"All quiet, you are soldiers, not the entrance of the vegetable market, what are you like. Zhao Canglan glared and said angrily.
"Remember who you are, a soldier always obeys orders. β
"Your radical words just now, when the meeting is over, I will treat it as if nothing happened, and never forget your military identity, I hope that next time I will not hear your radical words, and I don't want to see the federal government have an investigation team come to my Zhao Canglan's military camp and personally arrest my Zhao Canglan's people. β
The expressions of the officers present were still indignant.
But they had calmed down a little, and this time they all lowered their heads, and no one scolded angrily, but the expression on their faces was still angry, and their temples were throbbing.
"Old captain, these uncompetitive subordinates have made you see jokes. Zhao Canglan looked at Fang Meng beside him, his expression was a little nervous, and he didn't know how the old captain would say anything.
These subordinates of his just now, under the emotion, were indeed too aggressive.
Once it gets out, the impact will be small, and even if the federal government is too serious, it may be sent to a military court.
He had to do his best to keep these old subordinates.
"I came to the front line of the South China Sea this time, mainly for the beast tide, and other matters are not within my scope. Fang Meng, the old man, had tall bones, and he sat in his position like a black and shady immovable mountain, with a heavy momentum.
Hearing this, Zhao Canglan's heart was relieved.
Knowing that the old captain would not embarrass his old subordinates.
"Thank you, old captain. Zhang Zhisong said fiercely.
Subsequently, Zhao Canglan unveiled this topic and continued the theme of today's military meeting.
"The current situation on the front line in the South China Sea is very good for us, but we should not be limited to the immediate war situation, but should take a more long-term view. Zhao Canglan said in a deep voice.
"The scale of the beast tide this time, although it is unprecedented, even the eighth-order king beast has appeared, but this is not an opportunity for us. β
"After this battle, the alien beasts that were originally entrenched in the coastal areas of the South China Sea were all gathered together and annihilated by us, and the number of alien beasts that escaped was also greatly damaged by the alien beast population in the coastal areas of the South China Sea, and it was no longer too much of a threat to us. β
"Prior to this, after a short military meeting with the East China Sea Front Command, it was unanimously decided that taking advantage of the fact that the alien beasts in the coastal areas have been disabled, the East China Sea Front and our South China Sea Front will jointly send additional troops, send troops out of military fortresses, speed up the elimination of the remnants of foreign beasts, and accelerate the capture of coastal areas, which is a rare opportunity for us. β
The commander-in-chief of the South China Sea front is Zhao Canglan.
The person who is most familiar with the situation on the front line in the South China Sea is also the commander-in-chief Zhao Canglan.
Therefore, Fang Meng did not compete for power or control, but fully supported Zhao Canglan, and he was only responsible for sweeping away the remnants of the beast tide this time.
Just when the military meeting was still going on, suddenly, Fang Meng's personal chip watch came out with a slight vibration.
Fang Meng's eyes froze.
"General Fang... I don't know who to contact for this matter, but after thinking about it, I can only contact you, General Fang......"
"I would like to request that Tsuru City be immediately adjusted to the highest danger alert level... And then immediately put the city of Tsuru under military control!"
