Chapter 208: Defend and Conquer
"Class Chu Ge, hahahaha, I heard the tiger say dejectedly, "You reject the Red Helmet Army and are ready to join the military? Oh, this is really the best choice in your life, it's so good!"
In the restaurant rest area of the very medical center, Guan Shanzhong, the major of the reconnaissance force, hugged Chu Ge with excitement, and his eyes were so excited that he looked starry-eyed, "Originally, those very beautiful ladies from the recruitment office came to talk to you about this, but when I thought, we are all so familiar with each other, you saved my life, of course I have to hear this good news with my own ears! As for those heroic ladies from the recruitment office, don't worry, when you join the military, I will take you to the friendship myself!"
Chu Ge was silent, looked at Guan Shanzhong for a long time after watching the ecstatic Guan Shanzhong for a long time, and said carefully: "That, Major Guan, did you hear it wrong or Brother Hu say it wrong? I rejected the Red Helmet Army, but I didn't say that I must join the military."
"What?"
Guan Shanzhong was stunned, and his shock energy was "huh" out, "What do you mean? You rejected the Red Helmet Army and wanted to reject the military? There is no reason. Look at your performance in the chemical factory and deep in the jungle. Combining bravery and stubborn dogs just right is simply a natural special forces soldier! I believe you also feel the passion between life and death. Do you want to reject your instinct?
"Or, are you worried about the treatment? Come on, look at the contract and training plan I brought. The military will definitely invest a lot of resources to cultivate you and build you into the best soldier. Whether it is better than me or the 'colonel' Ning Lie, there is hope!
"What, to crack down on the celestial organ? That is the responsibility of our military. I promise you that if one day we will directly attack the celestial organ's nest, you will have the chance to blow up all the miscellaneous organs with your own hands!
"Oh oh oh, the Extreme Association will have a temporary task to let you handle the 'little palace master'? This is even more problematic. The cooperation between the military and the Extreme Association is already very close. Many of the very agents are from veterans, just like the old Captain Cao who you are most familiar with. He was originally the Earth Army and is now the consultant of the Extreme Association. Everyone is a family. You can completely let you handle the 'little palace master' while receiving the training of the strongest soldiers. The military provides you with the most powerful technical and equipment support!"
Guan Shanzhong pushed a thick stack of contracts and training plans towards Chu Ge.
Chu Ge smiled bitterly and pushed the information away.
"Major Guan, you misunderstood. I believe you and the military will never treat me badly, but if I care about treatment and training plans, there is no need to reject the Red Helmets."
Chu Ge hesitated for a long time, his eyes gradually became firmer, and he whispered, "I only have two questions. If you can represent the military and give an answer that I can agree with, then no matter what the conditions are, I am willing to join the Earth Army."
"You ask." Guan Shanzhong's eyes lit up and he said quickly.
"The first question, I want to know, in the war between the earth and the immortal cultivation world and the illusion and demon world, are we considered to be invaded, defending our country, or are we sharpening our swords and preparing to take the initiative to invade the earth? If the immortal cultivation world and the illusion and demon world do not have a plan to invade the earth in large numbers, will the Earth Army take the initiative to provoke the war and kill and kill and loot in another world to conquer, colonize, burn, kill and loot, and destroy the other party's civilization?" Chu Ge asked with a bright look.
The smile on Guan Shanzhong's face disappeared inch by inch.
The temperament also goes from frivolous and smooth to serious and deep.
Just like in the night rain at the chemical factory that day, I was confronted with the colonel.
"It seems that you have really thought a lot these days." Guan Shanzhong scratched his head with some distress.
"It's indeed a bit too many, but I can't think of the answer. Mr. Cao asked me to walk around more, see more, do more practical things, and think less about illusory questions. But I think this question must be thought of - is it a team to defend the country or an invading army? " Chu Ge looked at Guan Shanzhong very seriously.
The heavy traffic jam of Guanshan became extremely serious. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Chu Ge, have you ever thought about conquering another world?"
"Of course I have thought about the sea of stars conquering another world, and driving the mighty and majestic war machines in another world, knocking down all the mountain gates, altars and statues of gods and demons to the ground, in the sky and under, and I am the only one who is the only one... I'm afraid no boy has ever thought about these things, right?"
Chu Ge said, "But, on the real battlefield, when we actively launch an invasion, if an innocent little girl from another world appears in front of my excavator track, and stretches out her tender hands to stop me from moving forward, can I unwaveringly crush her into meat paste? I don't know, maybe if I really do this, I will become more crazy than the 'colonel' Ning Lie."
"Yes, my biggest experience in the army for so many years is that real wars are really different from those beautified so-called wars in movies, novels and video games."
Guan Shanzhong smiled bitterly, "Now there are many people on the Internet yelling, 'Kill to another world, killing blood and blood flowing into rivers, people rolling heads, crushing every person in another world into meat paste', haha, these people don't know what they are saying, nor do they know what 'blood flowing into rivers', throwing them onto the real battlefield, seeing their companions and even their intestines beating out, seeing the burning enemies pounce on them, trying to die together, I'm afraid that they will urinate in three seconds and will shed tears in pain."
"So, do you also don't agree with us launching an unjust war of aggression?" Chu Ge asked.
Guan Shan smiled heavily.
"Little guy, when I was young, I also like you. I like to define many things with 'justice' and 'evil'. When I grow up, I know that good and evil are not clear in a few words, and I am even less qualified to judge the so-called justice."
Guan Shan thought about it again and said cheerfully, "That's right, from the standpoint of personal emotions, I don't want the Earth Army to launch an unjust war of aggression, and I don't want the army I have allegiance to become an invading army that burns, kills, loots, and commits all kinds of evil.
"Not only do I don't want to, all my comrades around me, and even the vast majority of the generals in the Eastern Hemisphere, don't want to."
"That's great!"
Chu Ge was delighted and was stunned, "Eastern Hemisphere?"
"Listen, Chu Ge, we don't discuss good and evil, we only discuss the temperament of the army. The temperament of most military forces from ancient times to the present can be divided into 'agricultural type' and 'nomadic type'."
Guan Shanzhong explained, "It is probably the army originated from a huge farming empire. After completing the expansion of the essential areas suitable for farming, it will tend to shrink and restrain itself - because the outside world is a vast ocean except for the rolling yellow sand, otherwise it is a Gobi and rainforest that are technically difficult to develop, and there is no need to invade outside.
"Over time, such farming troops have been injected with the belief of "protecting the country" and tend to passive defense, and rarely have the desire to take the initiative.
"And the army from nomadic civilizations - whether it is the grassland nomadic era or the sea nomadic era in modern times, from the first day of its birth, it has been full of desire for aggression, conquest, colonization, and trade. Continuous expansion is their instinct, because they do not have a core farming area that must be held in, and colonization and trade are their "lifeline".
"So, an army full of nomadic temperament is destined to be a more aggressive army. In a nomadic business civilization, "aggressiveness" itself is not a bad word, and not aggressive is the worst thing.
"Which is better, which is better, which is better, or which is better, or which is better? It is hard to say that there is a correct answer.
"As the successors of the ancient Eastern countries, we may naturally prefer farming temperament, believing that "protecting our country" is the only justice, and the word "aggression" is not easy to hear.
"But you have to admit that it is precisely because of the aggressiveness of the nomadic civilizations in the Western Hemisphere hundreds of years ago that the entire human civilization has completely changed. To this day, our food, clothing, housing and transportation, our science and technology, our social and economic systems, and even our ruling institutions have been deeply imprinted in the Western Hemisphere.
"Looking back at the dark history hundreds of years ago, we often lament that if the old empires of that time had less farming temperament and more aggressiveness of nomadic civilizations, perhaps we could catch up and participate in the competition of global discoveries and colonies earlier, rather than becoming fish that can be slaughtered.
"Today, we have once again reached the crossroads of history, and have reached the choice of "passive defense, sticking to our homeland" and "active and enterprising, and constantly expanding the external world". No one wants to see the tragedy of the ancient Eastern Kingdoms repeating, right?"
Guan Shanzhong's words were something Chu Ge never thought of.
He was so sensible that he thought deeply.
"I don't know whether it is luck or misfortune. Today's Earth Army is far from a completely unified army, because we are the armies of various countries in the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. Without large-scale wars, we are peacefully unified, and many units still retain their own institutions and unique temperaments."
Guan Shan Chongdao, "Basically, the Earth Army originated from the Eastern Hemisphere retains more farming temperament and is unwilling to start the war easily. The strategic proposition is to base itself on local defense; the Earth Army originated from the Western Hemisphere retains more nomadic temperament and is more aggressive, and wants to expand the "Glory of the Earth" to the world of cultivation and the world of illusion and demons.
"These two forces are still balanced in the Supreme Council and the General Staff, and the specific result will be drawn. It is not something I, a little major, can know!"
This is true.
Chu Ge now has a much broader horizon than a few months ago. He knows that the Lingshan City where he lives is not the entire world.
Although the East is the dominant force of the Earth Alliance, many Western forces are gradually recovering, profoundly affecting the future development direction of the Alliance and the entire Earth civilization.
