Chapter 833

He paused and scanned the crowd, facing a deathly silence.

With no one offering a rebuttal, Lin Feng continued.

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

"There, on the arduous and difficult front lines of border defense,"

"there are tens of thousands of border guards, loyally standing watch."

"It is they who are guarding the safety of our motherland."

"It is they who endure blizzards, freezing winds, and the biting of mosquitoes and rodents, diligently defending the border."

"May I ask, can the 'knowledgeable' and the 'great scholars' truly comprehend their hardships and suffering?"

"If not for them, could our country be stable and peaceful?"

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

"Regardless of what others think, I personally feel honored and proud of them!"

"Perhaps I have said too much, and perhaps I might sting some people."

"But I am not finished; I still have more to say."

"I don't know when it started, but 'poor soldier' became a derogatory term for military personnel."

"It is true that a soldier's pay is very low, and there is the danger of sacrifice."

"However, they are not something that people living in comfort can criticize."

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

"Without the protection of soldiers, would they be able to eat their fill and dress warmly?"

"Conversely, is it true that one cannot find a job without joining the military?"

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

"many companies offered me an annual salary of over four hundred thousand."

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

"And my family is not some wealthy or powerful household."

"Do I not need money? No one dislikes wealth!"

"However, joining the military was to answer the country's call."

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

"at the very least, one has faith, pursuits, and different life experiences and insights."

"Taking this opportunity, and with the approval of the school leadership,"

"I call upon the ambitious juniors to enthusiastically join the military."

"As the saying goes, 'Join the army and regret it for two years, don't join and regret it for a lifetime.'"

"With the modernization of national defense construction, all kinds of high-precision and advanced weapon equipment are constantly entering service."

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

"As a soldier, one may not enjoy great wealth or high status."

"As a soldier, one can only endure hardship first and enjoy comfort later."

"As a soldier, however, one possesses noble faith and a sacred mission."

"With the military uniform on one's body, the motherland is in one's heart."

"Protecting the home and defending the country is the faith; loving the people is the conviction."

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

"In the military, you can experience a different kind of brotherhood and camaraderie."

"In the military, you can grasp extraordinary life insights."

"One last sentence: Being a soldier is a profession, sacred and inviolable."

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

"It needs the people of the whole country and people from all walks of life to join hands in building and jointly prospering our motherland."

"I have finished speaking. Thank you. Salute..." ===== CHAPTER 835 =====
