Chapter 447

He paused and scanned the room, facing silence.

Without any rebuttal, Lin Feng continued.

"As a soldier, I have been to the borders of the extreme south and extreme north."

"There, on the difficult and arduous border defense line."

"There are tens of thousands of border defense soldiers, loyally guarding."

"It is them who are guarding the safety of the motherland."

"It is them who are guarding the border diligently, enduring blizzards, cold winds, and mosquito bites."

"May I ask, can the 'know-it-alls' and scholars understand their hardships?"

"Without them, could the country be stable and peaceful?"

"They are also a group of people not even twenty, or in their early twenties..."

"Regardless of others, I personally am proud of them!"

"Maybe I said too much, maybe it will sting some people."

"But I'm not done, I still have to say."

"I don't know when, 'poor soldier' became a derogatory term for soldiers."

"Indeed, soldiers' wages are very low, and there is a risk of sacrifice."

"However, it is not something that comfortable people can criticize."

"Without soldiers, where would their happy lives come from?"

"Without the escort of soldiers, could they be well-fed and clothed?"

"Conversely, can't you find a job if you don't join the army?"

"Taking myself as an example, at the time of graduation."

"Many companies offered annual salaries of over 400,000 to hire me."

"I refused them all, and chose to join the military without hesitation."

"And my family is not a wealthy one either."

"Don't I need money? No one dislikes wealth!"

"However, joining the army is to respond to the country's call."

"Not to mention protecting the home and country, and dedicating oneself to the mission."

"At the very least, there is faith, pursuit, and different life experiences and insights."

"Taking this opportunity, and with the approval of the school leaders."

"I call on ambitious juniors to join the army enthusiastically."

"As the saying goes, you'll regret joining the army for two years, but you'll regret not joining for a lifetime."

"With the modernization of national defense construction, various high-end, precision, and advanced weapons and equipment are constantly entering service."

"It requires batches of highly knowledgeable elites to operate and master them."

"As a soldier, you may not be able to enjoy great wealth."

"As a soldier, you can only eat bitterness first and enjoy pleasure later."

"As a soldier, you have noble faith and a sacred mission."

"The military uniform is on the body, the motherland is in the heart."

"Protecting the home and country is faith, loving the people is belief."

"In the army, you can learn the weight of the home and country."

"In the army, you can experience a different kind of brotherhood."

"In the army, you can understand unusual life insights."

"The last sentence: being a soldier is a profession, sacred and inviolable."

"And great national defense does not just need soldiers."

"It needs the people of the whole country and people from all walks of life to work together to build and prosper the motherland."

"I'm done speaking, thank you, salute...".

(National University studies are coming to an end. Next, we will form a new squadron, seeking a squadron name.

Recently it's the New Year, buying New Year's goods, cleaning the house, and guests are constant, time is too tight!

The updates are a bit slow, not cutting corners or being lazy, please understand, Chiefs.)

Amidst warm applause, the speech segment ended.

Lin Feng's speech this time couldn't be called brilliant, but it hit the nail on the head.

Contemporary soldiers indeed face many dilemmas.

Difficulty in finding a spouse, difficulty in respecting the elderly, difficulty in children's schooling, difficulty in spouse's employment, etc.

As a low-income profession, it is bound to be looked down upon.

Everything, personal will cannot change.

It requires the country to popularize science, promote it widely, and improve people's awareness!

The speech ended, but the anniversary celebration did not.

Next is the exchange, fundraising, and visiting segment where elites gather.

One of the purposes of the anniversary celebration is to accept donations from outstanding alumni from all walks of life.

Lin Feng and Jiang Jiang Yuying symbolically donated 20,000.

Not stingy, but there are objective reasons.

First, Lin Feng is a soldier, which is synonymous with 'poor'.

Second, Jiang Jiang Yuying is a state-owned enterprise employee, and she cannot give people the impression of being 'filthy rich'.

Third, both of them are in the 23 career establishment, and they are clear about the filth inside.

As one of the national-level key universities directly managed by the Education Headquarters, Jiaotong University.

The funds allocated every year are in the hundreds of millions.

Plus various fees paid by students, theoretically, it should never be short of money.

So what is the fundraising about?

Nominally for the scholarship system, building various advanced laboratories, etc.

In fact, scholarships are allocated by the headquarters, and advanced laboratories will also be built by cooperative units.

So in the end, no one knows what the money raised was used for...

During the visit, Jiang Jiang Yuliang leaned over.

"Junior Lin Feng, how should I address you?"

"Senior Jiang, you can just call me Xiao Lin."

At the right time, Department Head Mo Chunxiao walked over.

"Deputy Mayor Jiang, are you very interested in this kid?"

Hearing this, Jiang Jiang Yuliang nodded with a deep smile.

"Old Mo, you stayed at the school to teach back then."

"Although you have been diligent for half a lifetime and nurtured countless people."

"But now your information is blocked, and you are not sensitive to politics!"

Without a doubt, Jiang Jiang Yuliang and Mo Chunxiao are university classmates.

Just because of different choices back then, they had different career achievements.

Obviously, the department head cannot be compared to the deputy mayor.

Seeing that his old classmate didn't understand, Jiang Jiang Yuliang's smile deepened.

"Old Mo, you underestimated Comrade Lin Feng."

"According to the latest public announcement from the General Office, he has been promoted to Deputy Director of the First Office."

What, there's actually such a thing?

"You kid, you really got promoted to Deputy Director of the First Office?"

Facing the staring eyes, Lin Feng could only smile sheepishly.

"It's just a concurrent post, my main job is a soldier."

"By the way, you and Senior Jiang talk, I'll take my girlfriend around."
