In the zero one base, in the corridor of the computer room, which is known as the "road to the future", Yang Xiaoqian and Liu Zhongqian are walking side by side, and the ground is spotless, but they walk so slowly with every step, as if they are stuck in a quagmire.

When he came to the end, Yang Xiaoqian stretched out his hands in his trouser pockets and asked softly, "Xiao Liu, you should know my intentions very well, right?" ”

Liu Zhongqian shook his head and nodded, and replied, "I can't be sure, but I guess you have doubts about Chairman Wen's arrangement." ”

"You say that, it's not right or wrong, I don't doubt Chairman Wen's decision, I just want to ask the respected Commander Liu, why did you choose me?"

Before Yang Xiaoqian came to the Zero One Base, he received a new appointment in the chairman's office.

Soon after, China will send troops to the five Central Asian countries to rescue the overseas Chinese compatriots in distress and eliminate all otherworldly creatures that endanger the refugees by force.

Of course, this is an excuse, and the Russian Federation and the US Federation will also find a similar excuse to send troops abroad, which is a good opportunity to enhance the right to speak and enhance control, but any major country that has spare power will not easily let it go.

But the situation on the Chinese side was more complicated, and the troops on the expedition included not only the regular Chinese army (i.e., the People's Protection Army), but also a non-regular army with strong combat capabilities, which can also be called the Volunteer Army.

The composition of this "irregular army" is quite complex, including the hunter base formerly known as the Yuanjiang Corpse Hunters and International Mercenaries, Yuanjiang veterans, and volunteers from all over the country (most of whom are veterans who have been demobilized and retired from the Guards). Yang Xiaoqian, on the other hand, has become the highest military commander of this unit, and the official appointment document will be issued in three days at the latest.

Yang Xiaoqian has always been self-aware, he knows very well that he is very good, he knows that his ability to deal with local government affairs is higher than his military command ability, although he has experienced the Yuanjiang Anti-Corpse War and the Southern Capital Defense War, but with his ability, it is not enough to lead a complex force to go to a foreign country to participate in the war.

Plunging into a rapidly changing and complex battlefield when it is difficult to maintain a complete logistics chain will put forward very high requirements for the military quality and accumulation of military commanders, and Yang Xiaoqian does not meet these requirements.

Chairman Ke Wen chose Yang Xiaoqian to be the commander of this army, and the reason behind this is not difficult to come up with: it must have been Liu Yuanzhou who persuaded Chairman Wen.

Therefore, after leaving Zhongnanhai, Yang Xiaoqian rushed to the Zero One base non-stop to seek an explanation.

In the face of Yang Xiaoqian's questioning, Liu Zhongqian replied without hesitation: "Because you are the best candidate." ”

"But I don't have the military talent to command a major campaign."

"First of all, wars don't end easily, you need to master the ability to command large campaigns and even dominate wars, so you need to gain experience on larger battlefields. Second, no leader is a generalist, and you can rest assured that you will have a better military advisor with you. Liu Zhongqian said it very politely, which was obviously his own answer, not a relay of Liu Yuanzhou's original words.

The war will not end easily, and Yang Xiaoqian, as one of the leaders of the Awakened and the most powerful Awakened among the human race, cannot always stay in a peaceful environment as a local governor, so Yang Xiaoqian must become a qualified general, and for this, he needs the opportunity to command large-scale battles.

This reason made Yang Xiaoqian unable to refute, he paced a few steps in annoyance, walked back in front of Liu Zhongqian, and said: "I have accepted this appointment, but I want to know, why am I the best candidate?" Since Liu Yuanzhou wants to make a decision for me, he should always convince me, right? ”

"Do you remember that in the Shanghai Annihilation War, you once captured two dragons alive in front of the camera broadcast live on the whole network? It is no exaggeration to say that you are now the most prestigious awakened person in the world, and the first three people who come to mind when people of other countries talk about China are Chairman Wen, the Party Prime Minister, and Chairman Yang. Liu Zhongqian raised his index finger and gave the first reason, "Your face has been firmly remembered by the people of the world, so the troops led by you have a natural affinity for those refugees who are eager for heroes to come to the rescue, and for those newborn awakened people in other countries who have not yet joined the big countries or large organizations, you are an idol and a god-like existence, and you can lead the army to absorb more newborn awakened people, I think Speaker Yu is also happy to see this result." ”

Yang Xiaoqian suddenly realized that Liu Yuanzhou in the first battle of Shanghai was for today.

"What else?"

"It's the end of 2011, and the provincial CPPCC members have already completed the replacement in the last election, and in the process of resolving the mutant crisis, there has been a very wide range of changes, and in another 12 to 13 months, the country's leadership may be changed, of course, it may also be canceled because of the ongoing war, and the current leadership team will continue to lead Huaxia. But ......"

"Huh?"

"But sooner or later, the leadership will be replaced, and Chairman Wen will be in a state of high-intensity work, and his health will deteriorate day by day, and once the country's leaders are replaced, the Yuanfu Society, which has a strong armed force, will become a 'legacy problem to be solved urgently', and you should be very clear that the country will not forever allow such an armed force that is not completely controlled by the party and the state to exist in the hinterland of central China."

"Hmm." Yang Xiaoqian nodded, this is the case, there is no need to escape, sooner or later, the Far Salvation Association will have to give up its arms, and even, after Yang Xiaoqian and Yu Qian can't get more benefits-or, they can't make more contributions--The Far Salvation Society will even lose the right to legally exist.

"I don't think you want to see that happen, but the problem has to be solved, so it's best for you to take this armed force out of the country."

"What do you mean?" Yang Xiaoqian's eyes grew cold, "Do you want me to take these Yuanjiang compatriots to fight abroad and never let them return to their hometown?" ”

"No, of course not, all volunteers have Chinese nationality and can naturally return to China at any time, but they should not continue to enjoy the right to legally hold ordnance in China. Outside, they are your army, and at home, they are citizens of Yuanjiang. ”

"Let them give up their arms, I can accept it." Yang Xiaoqian was puzzled, "But Liu Yuanzhou arranged it like this, hoping that I could have a private army?" ”

"Not a private army, but a regular army." Liu Zhongqian shook his head and smiled, "But it's not the army of Huaxia, but the army of the people of the world, the army of the earth, do you remember that you once said that sooner or later we will establish the Earth Guardian Alliance?" This may seem like a joke to you, but the necessity of the existence of the Earth Guardian Alliance is no less than that of a community with a shared future for mankind proposed by Chairman Wen. ”

"So, maybe the next time we meet, I should call you Commander Yang, or, Marshal Yang."
