Chapter 52: Father's Ambition

Zhou You told his father about the idea of selecting combat personnel.

Zhou Lingsheng made some refinements to the selection plan, formulated more detailed personnel selection standards, and clarified the benefits of three types of personnel and their families.

For example, elite fighters and their families can enjoy a wardrobe to remodel their homes, and each home is provided with a plug-in board that goes straight to the home, can freely charge mobile phones, as well as lighting in the house, and there are five additional places for exclusive rescue operations.

Regular melee and long-range combatants and their families can enjoy "buildings" made of large shelves, with a living area of 0.4 square meters each.

There is also indoor lighting, but it is realized by the same LED light strip, and only eight households on the first floor can share the lighting time.

And these eight households can only share the same plug board to charge their mobile phones, and there are also two additional places for exclusive rescue operations.

Of course, the standard of accommodation for ordinary members is slightly lower, so there is no need to go into details.

In addition, the standard of food, nutrition and clothing for combatants and their families will be appropriately increased.

These are temporary stopgap measures, and they will continue to be adjusted.

But what is certain is that those who are able to enter the battle sequence will always be treated a little better than most of the average members.

At present, the permanent population of the Zhou family villa has been finalized is about 600 people, and the combat establishment of 60 people accounts for a very high proportion.

In the past, this military-civilian ratio would have led to a social collapse, logistics would have been unable to keep up, and the standard of living of non-combatants would have plummeted to a state of human tragedy.

But now the situation is unique, the human body is just shrinking, and there are huge reserves of materials to meet the most important food needs for food, clothing, shelter and transportation.

The most important thing is to restore combat capability as soon as possible, recapture more areas occupied by animals as soon as possible, rescue the displaced and scattered people as soon as possible, and suppress the reproduction rate of the three major pests of cats, dogs and rats that have gone out of control as soon as possible.

Therefore, the high initial proportion of combatants is also a matter of course, and it is in line with the needs of the times.

Thanks to Zhou Lingsheng's grasp of human nature, the registration of the permanent population is very enthusiastic.

In just 20 minutes, hundreds of people signed up, almost all young men between the ages of 18 and 35 signed up, and about 20 young women signed up.

In any era, in any historical and cultural context, human beings will aspire to become a privileged class.

Now, within the Zhou family's forces, the privileged sequence of combatants has been established, and there is also Zhou You, the nominal first over-limit person who is now well-known throughout the country, to lead the team.

Even if he doesn't do anything, doesn't say anything, and just stands there alive, it is enough to prove the truth of the objective existence of the so-called "extraordinary power".

These people chose to take the initiative to follow the Zhou family, precisely because of the identity of Zhou You, who was overbound.

Anyone who has even the slightest dream cannot resist this temptation.

What's more, most of the people who come here are dragged with their families.

Whether it's out of a sense of responsibility to make the family's life better, or to realize a new life dream in the new era, or to be able to get an exclusive action quota to continue to rescue other relatives and friends trapped outside after becoming a member of the battle sequence, everyone wants to fight.

Moreover, although after becoming a combatant, you will inevitably face danger, but everyone actually knows very well in their hearts that if no one goes to fight, everyone just wants to hide in the rear, no one goes out to collect supplies, rescue more people, restore technology and human military instincts as soon as possible, and suppress animals, then don't look at the Zhou family villa is still safe now, but sooner or later it will slowly become an island in the city.

With the powerful reproductive ability of animals far exceeding that of humans, this week's villa will eventually come to an end.

Eventually, this was the case.

Zhou You's father and son asked the applicants to settle down in the living room on the first floor for the time being, and the two walked to another relatively quiet integrated circuit "workshop" bedroom to discuss.

"Dad, there are too many people signing up. Originally, I thought it would be nice to have 50 or 60 people sign up, and the personnel screening work would be very simple. Now that half of them are going to be eliminated, they have to refine the selection criteria, at least they must be able to convince the public. ”

Zhou You said with a little sorrow: "It's not that I'm worried that I won't be able to formulate this selection standard......

Zhou Lingsheng interrupted: "Are you worried that even if our standards are absolutely fair, the eliminated people will still be unwilling?" ”

"Yes."

Zhou You said frankly.

Zhou Lingsheng smiled and patted Zhou You's shoulder, "Although you are precocious and meticulous in your work, after all, you are only twenty-four years old, you have just joined the work, and you have not been deeply involved in society, and you don't like the intrigue between people, so you haven't thought much about these human things." ”

Zhou You asked curiously, "Dad, do you think this won't be?" ”

Zhou Lingsheng shook his head again, "No, I also think it will." But it doesn't matter. Or rather, we need this kind of reluctance in the first place. Even if you are unwilling to accept such negative emotions, as long as you guide them correctly, you can turn them into controllable ambitions. Those who are eliminated and forced to return to logistics jobs will be driven by ambition to take the initiative to use their spare time to improve their physical fitness and learn combat skills. This, in turn, creates a sense of urgency for the selected combatants and forces them to improve themselves. ”

"At the same time, I was going to introduce a knock-out mechanism among the combatants. Travel, you remember, in our family, except for your unbreakable position, no other class should be solidified. Even if it's a loved one. Because the solidification of the hierarchy means to stop advancing, and to stop moving forward means that it is not far from extinction. I've been thinking about this since you told me about the nest of rats you and Lin Yao saw in front of Aimin's pharmacy when you came back earlier. That's the answer I gave. ”

"I know you're worried that someone will get tired of the more restrictive militarization of our family, and will choose to self-exile and change their minds to a government settlement that will certainly be more lenient. But you believe me, there will be people leaving, but there will also be people who will join in because of this. Those who seem to take the initiative to leave are the ones we want to eliminate, and they know that our rules are coming, so they must be the elite who don't need to take the whip to drive, and he will also take the initiative to move forward. ”

"There are not many soldiers, but they are fine, and the ancients taught us this simple truth. Now that you have been established as a hero by the country, this is our great innate advantage. We will not fight for power with the country, we will only try to do what we can. We don't have the position and ability to shelter everyone and become a saint-like existence, but we have the obligation to use your fame and ability, as well as the equipment you brought back from Rongcheng, and our Zhou family's own resources to build an elite civil force. ”

"In this way, no matter what happens in the future, we can attack and retreat. Do you understand? ”

Zhou You's eyes widened and he looked at his father.

He didn't feel that his father seemed strange at this time, but recalled an incident many years ago.

At that time, he was only five years old, and his father was only a young teacher who had just turned 30, and he had just been forcibly pushed to the position of accountant because the old teacher who worked as an accountant in the school was retired.

But five-year-old Zhou You asked his father a word.

At that time, Zhou You asked Zhou Lingsheng in a young childish voice, "Dad, why can Uncle Zheng be the principal, but you don't want to be the principal?" I've heard people say that if you become a principal, your family will be able to live in a bigger house and buy a bigger TV. Dad, why are you so unhappy when you're just the little brother accountant of the principal? But I want to live in a big house and watch big TV. ”

After hearing these words, Zhou Lingsheng sat on the stairs of the tube building and smoked two packs of cigarettes, which frightened Zhou You and his mother.

When Zhou Lingsheng came back, he hugged Zhou You's shoulders with both hands and said categorically: "Dad will be the principal." ”

Time has passed, and now Zhou You is twenty-four years old, and Zhou Lingsheng is about to turn fifty, and his temples have already grown gray hair.

But now, Zhou You clearly feels that the ambitious father nineteen years ago has returned.

It's just that this time he wants to be far more than just a principal.

What he wants to bring to himself is far more than just a big house and a big TV.

His ambition was rekindled.
