In 1955, the military rank system was implemented in the army, and all the cadets of the senior command department of the military academy were awarded the rank of major general and lieutenant general. For a time, the High Command Department will be star-studded. Especially after the general's dress was handed out, everyone was very excited for a while. No one has ever seen such a beautiful dress, the style of the dress is imitation of the Soviet army style, peacock blue wool serge fabric, collar flowers and cuffs are hand-embroidered with real gold thread, navy blue tie, elasticated mouth semi-high-waisted leather boots made of calfskin, gold stars on the epaulettes and the golden August 1st Medal, the Medal of Independence and Freedom, and the Liberation Medal on the chest complement each other, and the generals are all majestic. This army, which once came out of the impoverished mountainous area and was once in tatters like Hanako, is now a regular army with all kinds of rules and hierarchies.

Li Yunlong was very happy, and put on his dress and stood in front of the mirror for a while. After he looked at the list of titles of complete generals, he found that many old comrades-in-arms with the same qualifications as him had been awarded the rank of lieutenant general, and he was a major general, and he suddenly felt unbalanced. Damn, if he hadn't been demoted, how could Lao Tzu have become a lieutenant general now, and Lao Tzu would have been at the regimental level during the Long March. He didn't even think about it when he complained, he had been demoted to the battalion level four times in his regimental position, and comparing himself with his comrades with the same qualifications could not help but affect his promotion.

Li Yunlong was annoyed, and when he saw Ding Wei breaking in with a fuchsia cloth dress box, he raised his hand and threw the dress box into the corner, and complained to Li Yunlong: "Have you read the list of titles?" In addition to me, the commanders of our columns in the four fields are at least lieutenant generals, and the column commanders that Wang Daya and I mentioned together also made trouble with a lieutenant general this time, and only gave me a major general, where is the reason? I don't wear this dress. ”

Li Yunlong said angrily: "What are you arguing about? What do you think you should teach? Shouldn't I give you a marshal? Dream on. ”

Ding Wei was about to have a seizure, when he suddenly saw the dress that Li Yunlong threw on the bed, and there was only one gold star on the epaulettes, and his heart seemed to have some kind of balance, so he leaned over and said, "Isn't it happy?" Too few stars? If you want me to say, your brother should be content, it's not bad if you didn't give you a colonel, you made so many mistakes before you got to peace with me. Let's just talk about the grassland, you ordered to rob the Tibetans' grain, you were full when you crossed the grassland, it was worth it, Lao Tzu didn't dare to rob it, but when you crossed the grassland, you ate the grass roots and ate your face was green, and you almost starved to death in the grassland. It's been so many years, our little daughter-in-law is like a little daughter-in-law, she manages herself everywhere, she hasn't made a big mistake, now it's good, you are a major general, Lao Tzu is also a major general, why are you not satisfied? ”

Kong Jie, who had just walked in the door, interjected: "Heh, you Ding Wei is still like a little daughter-in-law?" Haven't made a big mistake yet? What are you afraid to do? When you were in the Northeast, your second division secretly opened the pot to make wine, drank it and sold it, did business while fighting, and even dared to sell the fucking big tobacco soil, you Ding Wei is not the master who wronged himself, as soon as the army came to rest, you kid threw the troops to the political commissar, ran to Harbin by himself, went to the restaurant, danced, last time I saw you kid dancing with an old hairy girl, that face is about to be pasted, that is, Mr. Lin is protecting you, and you want to put it in our 129th division, not gelding, isn't it? Lao Li. ”

Li Yunlong said: "That's it, this kid is lucky, he has made no fewer mistakes, and he has no less blessings, and now he has mixed a star, which is really fucking angry." You just became a Red Army, Lao Tzu is a company commander, compared with Lao Tzu, you are still a recruit egg, only worthy of carrying the old sleeve, Lao Tzu was carrying 20 fast and slow machines on his back at that time, can this be compared? Why do you have a star on your shoulder? ”

Ding Wei said: "Look, look, they are all coming at me, don't rush at me if you are angry, and it is not the title I gave you." If I had that power, I didn't say it, Li Yunlong, I would be awarded the general; Kong Jie, awarded the general; Ding Wei, give him a marshal. ”

On the morning of the second day after the award, all the cadets wore the regular uniform of the 55-style yellow tweed army and wore the rank. Only Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, and Ding Wei deliberately wore old-fashioned military uniforms, did not wear military ranks, and only wore old-fashioned badges on their chests, which looked very rustic in the ranks of generals with straight uniforms and shining stars. Luo Dazheng, who served as the commander of the star platoon, saw that the three of them were looking at each other, so he shouted: "Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie are out of the ranks!" The three of them took a step forward reluctantly, and Li Yunlong also squinted at Luo Dazheng. Luo Dazheng from Yiye has a little less qualifications, he joined the Red Army in northern Shaanxi in 1936, when the three main forces of the Red Army had already joined forces in Zhiluo Town after the Long March, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie were all battalion and regiment-level cadres who had gone through the Long March, and now, these three people did not take Luo Dazheng too seriously. Luo Dazheng himself also knew that compared with these generals of the former Red Fourth Front Army who came out of the Dabie Mountains and participated in several anti-encirclement and suppression in the Sichuan-Shaanxi base area, his qualifications were far behind. If it were normal, he wouldn't provoke these people, but today he is the leader of the star platoon, and he can't explain it to his superiors no matter what.

He asked in as gentle a tone as he could, "Why don't you wear military uniforms?" As soon as he said that, he realized that he should ask why he didn't wear the new military uniform.

Sure enough, these generals who were trying to mistreat were not slow at all, and immediately caught his slip of the tongue and made a big fuss.

Li Yunlong pretended to be surprised, and asked rhetorically: "Old Luo, are you short-sighted?" Aren't we in military uniforms? Take a closer look! ”

Kong Jie said solemnly: "The People's Liberation Army uniform is not the Kuomintang uniform. ”

Ding Wei was even more polite: "You said we didn't wear military uniforms, are we bare-assed?" ”

The generals in the queue laughed, they were all people with heavy troops, they were used to commanding in their own troops, they had not suffered from parade exercises for many years, and they were a little annoyed by the life of soldiers.

Luo Dazheng was a little embarrassed and corrected: "I mean, why don't you wear new military uniforms according to the regulations?" ”

Li Yunlong deliberately said in a Henan accent: "When I was a child, my family was poor, and I finally pulled a new gown, which was pressed at the bottom of the box, and I only wore it during the New Year. ”

Ding Wei touched his sleeve and said: "Three years of new and three years of old, another three years of sewing and mending, my dress is still new, I can't throw it away, right?" I'll wear the old one first, and I'm going to take the new one back to my hometown for my dad to wear. You don't know, my hometown is poor, and the county magistrate's pants are exposed, let alone our poor family. ”

The generals were even happier, and the queue was chaotic.

Luo Dazheng can see that these guys are deliberately trying to mischievous, if you don't let them behave, they won't be finished. Luo Dazheng calmed down instead, and asked with interest: "Okay, Li Yunlong's military uniform is reluctant to wear it, and he won't wear it until the New Year." Ding Wei's military uniform wants to be brought home to be filial to his father, which can be regarded as a reason. And what about Comrade Kong Jie? Are you planning to wear your new military uniform for the Chinese New Year? Or take it home to be filial to your father? ”

Kong Jie said: "I don't have so many things, the old and the new are the same, I want to be filial to my father, but my father died early, but I have a small problem, I can't get rid of it, I can't stand it when I see the poor, the tears want to fall, I heard that Comrade Ding Wei's hometown is very poor, even the county magistrate's pants are exposed, don't talk about his father, I'm afraid I have to be bare-chested, my military uniform is simply brought home to Ding Wei, and it can be regarded as a little filial piety of our younger generations......"

Ding Wei suddenly heard that it was not a taste, and immediately replied: "Old Kong, your father is bare-chested." ”

The people in the queue laughed back and forth, but some of the generals were unimpressed. Commander Chang Baosheng from Erye Zhengse advised: "Comrades, we are all high-ranking cadres of the army, and we are all veteran comrades who have led the army for many years. As a military cadre, a general, he can't even be strict with his words and deeds, how can he lead troops in the future? Can you win the battle? ”

The queue fell silent, and the generals straightened up again.

Ding Wei's face showed arrogance, he didn't like to listen to these big words, in his many years of military career, he had never been able to get along with the political commissar, from being the regiment commander to becoming the column commander and army commander, he had quarreled with more than a dozen political commissars. During the war, thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but one general is hard to find, which superior of a brave and warlike tiger general like Ding Wei does not protect him? There are political commissars, but there are not many tiger generals, and in the end, the political commissar is always transferred, and Ding Wei is scolded and persuaded to say a few words. After a long time, Ding Wei's troops have developed a habit of only recognizing Ding Wei and not recognizing the political commissar, don't care about the political commissar, when they arrive at Ding Wei's troops, they can only be a little daughter-in-law, otherwise they don't want to stay in this army. In the battle sequence of the Fourth Field Army, Ding Wei's troops were also known as "two-headed spikes" of the troops, fighting at the top of the war, and grabbing the spoils of war. When attacking Jinzhou, the columns of the four fields rushed into the city from different directions, and the predetermined battle plan was all disrupted, and the columns and divisions fired wherever the guns rang out, and Ding Wei led his troops to sweep half of Jinzhou City, and when they encountered the booty captured by friendly and neighboring troops, they tore off the seal and replaced it with their own seal. The cadres of the friendly and neighboring troops came to stop them, and Ding Wei's soldiers raised their hands to fight. The commander is arrogant, and the soldiers will inevitably have a hot temper, and lawsuits often go to the head of the field division, telling Ding Wei's column how to grab the spoils of war and how to beat people.

Lin Biao, the commander of the four fields, always smiled tolerantly and waved his hand, meaning that don't bother me with such trivial matters, please ask the political commissar to solve it. Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan scolded twice: "This Ding Wei, how can he be like a mad dog?" You go back first, and I will criticize him. ”

Chief of Staff Liu Yalou saw Ding Wei and scolded with a punch in his chest: "Damn, hit someone again? Can you do it in the four fields? ”

Of course, if you fight, you will fight, and if you rob, you will rob, and the matter will naturally not be over.

Ding Wei, who was accustomed to being used to so many big people, also brought his arrogance into the Nanjing Military Academy. Ding Wei has never been Liu Bocheng's subordinate, and he does not have the support of his old superiors, so he is a little more restrained, if the dean replaces Lin Biao, Ding Wei dares to demolish the classroom house. Ding Wei pursed his lips at Chang Baosheng and asked Li Yunlong disdainfully: "Old Li, who is this brother?" Why haven't I seen it? Is it a newly transferred commissar? ”

Li Yunlong said happily: "That's right, this is the standing political commissar of the high command department, the permanent political commissar of the Standing Victory who specializes in the ideological work of backward elements like you. ”

"I said Lao Li, we should have a good relationship with the Standing Political Commissar, how about inviting him to drink? Save him from going to the dean to sue us, it's okay to beat me Ding Wei, but it's not okay to use me as a stepping stone. Ding Wei sarcastically said.

Chang Baosheng from Erye is also a member of the original 129th Division, and his qualifications are on par with Li Yunlong, and he also dealt with them during the Anti-Japanese War, so he can be regarded as an acquaintance. He is also an artillery temper, just a little bit, how many good tempers do the generals who have been fighting in the war all year round? He listened to Ding Wei and Li Yunlong's words of sarcastic people, and the fire jumped to his head, and the green tendons on his temples also exploded. It is terrible for an honest person to start a fire, he roared and stepped forward and said: "Ding Wei, if you have something to say, you have a fart and an opinion, if you can't get out of class, find a secluded place to pass the trick, don't come here!" ”

Chang Baosheng is 1.8 meters tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, dark skin, and can eat five or six buns in one meal. If it was someone else, I would have been frightened. Who is Ding Wei? Who was he afraid of? Although Ding Wei is half a head shorter than Chang Baosheng, he came out of the rain of bullets, and when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, he participated in hand-to-hand combat with a machete, and the tip of the knife was against his nose and he couldn't blink, how could he be frightened by a Chang Baosheng? Ding Wei said with a smile: "Wow, old man, Ding has been a little itchy recently, can you use your spare time to have a fight with you, wouldn't you be happy?" Make an appointment for a while, and Ding will ask for a few tricks. "He had been to a private school for a few years, so it was not too difficult to come to a few words.

Kong Jie is also a guy who is not willing to be lonely, as soon as he heard that he was going to test his fists and feet, he was overjoyed and said: "Good idea, military academy, in addition to learning theory and tactics, you should also open a combat class, or are you still a soldier?" How about me being a referee? ”

Li Yunlong also coaxed: "Knockout round, you two practice first, whoever loses will go later." ”

On this day, the morning exercise of the senior command department was not completed, and the matter was quickly reported by the head of the department to the dean Liu Bocheng. Liu Bocheng didn't get angry, he thought quietly and said: "It's this Li Yunlong who took the lead in making trouble again, I'm busy now, I don't have time to pay attention to him, you can notify me and let these three students come to me at 7 o'clock in the evening." Wait a minute...... Let them run in a line according to the regulations. Also, I ordered them to wear new uniforms and military ranks. ”

That evening, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei were drinking in the dormitory. Ding Wei was originally a delicious person, when he was fighting, every time he went to a place, he had to inquire about what delicious things were there, and he could not pay attention to anything else, but he could not be vague about eating. When he arrived at the Military Academy, he had no conditions to eat, and he looked down on the cafeteria of the academy. Before dinner today, he went around the cafeteria and found that dinner was noodles, and he was not interested in that thing, so he went out and bought a bottle of liquor, a salted duck, and a bag of peanuts. When he came back with wine, he met Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong was about to go to the cafeteria, and when he saw Ding Wei, he said with a smile: "Oh, Lao Ding, you are too polite, you are all old comrades-in-arms, who are we with whom?" Bring something with me? You can't do this in the future, don't take it as an example, don't take it as an example......" said without saying anything, and dragged Ding Wei into his room.

Ding Wei said: "Don't make an example, just stop this time, everyone is very busy, I won't bother." ”

Li Yunlong said: "They are all old comrades-in-arms, and they can't help but give face, I made an exception this time." Ouch, don't worry about it, I'll do it myself, I'll ......do it myself," he said, breaking off a duck's leg and nibbling on it.

Ding Wei was afraid that the other duck leg would also be snatched away by Li Yunlong, so he suddenly couldn't speak, and hurriedly picked up the saltwater duck and gnawed it on his chest and thighs.

Luo Dazheng shouted loudly as he pushed the door in: "Lao Li, Lao Ding, where is Lao Kong?" The department has told the three of you to go to the dean's office. Also, let you run in line according to the regulations, be quick, the dean orders you to put on new military uniforms and wear military ranks. ”

Li Yunlong sighed and said, "Yes, something is coming." ”

Ding Wei swallowed the food in his mouth with great difficulty, and his two oily hands rubbed a few handfuls on Li Yunlong's sheets, and then said nonchalantly: ", it's a big deal to roll up and cover back, Lao Tzu is trying to leave." ”

Li Yunlong said angrily: "Lao Ding, why the hell are you wiping your hands with Lao Tzu's sheets?" ”

Ding Wei smiled: "I'm leaving, what the fuck are the sheets?" ”

Kong Jie walked into the room and said, "It seems that Dean Liu is angry. ”

Li Yunlong said: "I have experience in this, when he gets angry, you just don't say a word, just look very painful, and it will pass after a while." During the Anti-Japanese War, he reprimanded me several times, and every time he came over like this. ”

In the evening of that day, a fresh scene appeared at the Military Academy, the three major generals lined up in a single column according to their size, ran through the campus with neat running movements, and ran into the dean's small building. Liu Bocheng stood in front of the window in a marshal's uniform, the huge golden national emblem on the epaulettes shining in the setting sun, and under the majesty of the marshal, the momentum of the three major generals seemed to be immediately half a cut shorter, and they stood straight in a standard queue posture, and it was impossible for even the most picky queue instructor to find the slightest fault.

The marshal walked up to the three major generals with his hands behind his back and was silent for a while before he said in a rare gentle tone: "I should call the names according to the new regulations, and listen, Major General Li Yunlong." ”

Li Yunlong touched his heels, straightened his chest and said, "Here!" ”

"Major General Ding Wei!"

"Here!"

"Major General Kong Jie!"

"Here!"

"Take a break!" The marshal commanded. The marshal sat facing them on the leather chair behind the desk, as if he was a little tired with his chin on his hands, and looked at them quietly for a long time before he spoke: "Please tell me frankly, are all three of you willing to go back to the army to lead the army and not to study at the academy?" They are all old comrades, they can say it directly, willing is willing, unwilling is unwilling, general, a spit and a nail, there is nothing to be afraid of. ”

Ding Wei took a step forward and said: "Report to the dean, I have nothing to fear, I have never concealed my views, let's make it clear, I don't want to study, I am willing to return to the army, please ask the dean for approval." ”

Li Yunlong and Kong Jie also took a step forward and said in unison: "I am also willing to return to the army." ”

The marshal said mildly: "Good, happy! I grant your request, and you can leave tomorrow. You see, I've already written these three appraisals, take a look, and if you don't have any opinions, you can put them in the file and take them away. ”

The three of them suspiciously went over to get the appraisal, but they were wondering in their hearts: Why are you so happy? Is this really a good thing? After taking the appraisal, the three major generals were stunned.

Li Yunlong felt that his eyes were a little flowery, he rubbed his eyes vigorously, and the appraisal clearly read:

While studying at the Senior Command Department of the Nanjing Military Academy of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, Comrade Li Yunlong disobeyed orders, was greedy for life and feared death, and fled in battle. After discussion by the party committee of the college, the conclusion of the organization was: deserters.

Except for the different names, the content of the three appraisals is word-for-word. The three major generals suddenly jumped up like a fire burning their buttocks, scolding their ancestors for eight generations, scolding them bastards, to say that they are deserters who are greedy for life and afraid of death, it is more uncomfortable than digging their ancestral graves, so many years of bullets and bullets, blood flowed like a river, when will we blink? How many times have we come out of the pile of dead people, are we the ones who are afraid of death?

"Teacher, you ...... Aren't you ruining people? Others don't understand me Li Yunlong, don't you know me either? It's been more than 20 years, when have I ever been afraid of death? When did you become a deserter? Li Yunlong shouted.

Ding Wei's eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire, and without saying a word, he tore the appraisal to shreds in a few handfuls, his eyes glared at the marshal, his chest rose and fell, and he was panting.

Kong Jie suddenly shed two tears, he wiped it with his sleeve fiercely and said: "Commander, I don't want this appraisal, if you have to put it in my file, I have no other way, I will put a shot in my head, it's okay to kill me, it's okay to insult me." ”

The marshal listened quietly to their appeals, and said only one sentence: "Oh, do you feel wronged? ”

"It's wrong, it's so wrong, it's just a strange injustice!" Li Yunlong said indignantly.

The marshal's kind face changed and became cold and stern, and he shouted: "Listen to my command, stand up!" "The three major generals reflexively stood up straight." I say that you are not wronged, because you have indeed fled in battle. Who can deny that this is not a battlefield? You think the only way to charge with a machine gun is to fight? I tell you that if you want to withdraw from the fighting, then I will only give you the identification of deserters, and that will never change. Major General Ding Wei, do you think it's over by tearing up the appraisal? You're not a deserter? You're calling it a stealing bell, I'm not afraid of trouble, just write another copy. ”

The marshal stared at them with blazing eyes, paused and said, "Yes, you have won many battles, and you know some tactics. Think that's enough? It seems that I can only say that you are arrogant, or you are called sitting in the well and watching the sky. During the period of the Red Army, you were all junior commanders, and you had never commanded a large corps to fight, and at that time, the tactical level, mobility ability, and firearms of both the enemy and us were relatively primitive. During the Anti-Japanese War, our army basically did not engage in large-scale corps operations, and the cost was limited. During the three-year War of Liberation, our army really carried out a large corps operation, and you are all participants, and you have all commanded the corps-level formation. ”

"We have won, but it is ignorant and stupid to think that our army has won a war and to be complacent, to think that we are invincible in the world. There are many reasons for winning this war, and in my opinion, military command is still secondary, the main one is that the Kuomintang regime is too corrupt, it is it that has brought down itself, and we have only pushed it along the way and hastened its downfall. ”

"Ding Wei, you have commanded a column in the northeast, among the four field troops, your column is the strongest in combat effectiveness, think about it, if you remove other factors, in terms of pure military affairs, your column and the Kuomintang 74th Division fought one-on-one, I am afraid it is difficult to say who wins and who loses. The three of you have fought against the five main forces of the Kuomintang on different battlefields, and I am afraid that you have all learned the military quality and command ability of the generals, and the combat quality and tenacious spirit of their officers and soldiers. If you want me to say that there are more political factors than military factors for the victory of this war, and the defeat of the Kuomintang is politically inevitable, but militarily it is accidental. For the myth that our army has won a hundred battles and is invincible in the world, as an ordinary soldier believes that it is excusable, and as a general, he also thinks so, which is 100% stupid. To be fair, the superiority of our army lies in its courage and tenacity, and it has a tradition of fighting continuously without fear of hardship. I am afraid that our army has many disadvantages, its firepower and mobility capabilities are extremely poor, there are very few generals who truly understand modern warfare, its tactical thinking is outdated and rigid, its logistical support capability is weak, and the military and cultural qualities of officers and soldiers are very low. ”

In the battle of Changjin Lake in Korea, our army used a corps of nearly ten divisions to fight in turns, and an average of four whole divisions were mobilized every day to fight fiercely day and night with the US army's 1st Marine Division. The whole system still broke through, and there were no corpses left, and the casualty ratio was as high as 1:10! ”

"Brother comrade, don't you study for the two of you? What I hate the most is that some generals in our army regard themselves as big bosses at every turn, take pride in being uneducated, and take advantage of a few victories by luck, and think that they are invincible in the world. Hmph, ignorance, ignorance. If you want me to see it, such a person, let alone conferring the rank of general, should not confer on him the rank of lieutenant. You have military exploits and have made great contributions to the people, and the people will not forget you, and they can give you a higher living treatment than ordinary people, and give you a good life. But you can't occupy the pit and not, you are ignorant and don't want to make progress, and if you can't do it in a high position, you will mislead the country and the army, and then you will lose face not for him alone, but for the entire country and the entire army. ”

The three major generals were sweating on their heads, and the marshal's words made them feel like they had been struck by lightning, and even Ding Wei, who was the most able to quibble, was speechless.

The marshal paced the room with his hands behind his back and continued to reprimand: "I, the dean, am not a dry eater, and although I rarely have contact with you, I still know your situation. Li Yunlong and Ding Wei were not satisfied with this award, believing that they should be awarded the title of lieutenant general. Kong Jie is just a righteous person, and if he doesn't make a fuss, he is afraid of being looked down upon by his old comrades, and besides, he doesn't want to study here, and wants to return to the army to be his commander. ”

"Well, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei's problems are easy to handle, isn't it because there is one less star on their shoulders? I'll add a few more to you, Colonel, four stars, is that enough? Tell you, I don't have the right to add a star to you, but I still have the power to demote you. Think about it, comrades, how many of our comrades-in-arms have fallen in our 22 years of armed struggle, and do they want to be treated with the people? Major General is still too small? The ability is not big, and the official addiction is not small, so it is difficult to say whether you can be a good major general. Li Yunlong, don't you think you're very capable? Give you a mechanized corps to command. What was the firepower, armor thickness, and travel speed of the Soviet T-34 tank and the American M-4 tank? How to implement the offensive formation of tank divisions and the tactics of switching to the defensive? Tell me about it? Why don't you speak? Aren't you able to do it? ”

Li Yunlong said dejectedly: "Commander, what you said, why do I think I can't do anything?" I, Li Yunlong, have been fighting for so many years and haven't let people talk about it, don't say it, let me study hard, I don't believe that I Li Yunlong is an elm pimple, and I can learn well if others can learn well. ”

"Ding Wei, Kong Jie, can't you leave?" The marshal asked.

"No, no. Dean, I, Ding Wei, have never surrendered to war. I'm a little stupid to hear you say this, it seems that if I don't learn something, I won't be able to fight this battle in the future. We have not served anyone in war, and we cannot serve anyone in our studies. The arrogant Ding Wei also bowed his head for the first time.

The marshal looked at the major generals and said, "Well, you don't need to beat the drum with a hammer, and I don't need to say anything more about you." Remember, this is also the battlefield, I told the commanders of the columns during the Huaihai Campaign, everyone touched the crotch of their pants, is it a man with eggs, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, and if they are men, they can't admit defeat, rush forward, can't retreat, not for anything else, just because you are generals and men. ”

"Yes!" The three major generals shouted with their chests straightened, and the stars on their shoulders were shining.
