The old general was serious.
He was like a little kid, grabbing Zheng Ya's arm and nagging him to learn how to fly an airplane.
Zheng Ya wanted to impart his knowledge of aircraft piloting techniques, but he didn't want to set a precedent.
Besides, obeying orders from superiors is the only way to go.
The higher-ups have their own arrangements, but if Zheng Ya acts recklessly, disrupts the national military structure, and causes unnecessary incidents, then that would be bad.
Fortunately, after the political commissar finished his call and returned to the meeting room, he pulled the old general aside with a dejected look and said, "Alright, old buddy, we can't make things difficult for Comrade Zheng Ya."
Our superiors ordered us to implement the four-character principle: "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."
"Ahem, what exactly does the higher-ups mean?"
I understand the principle of teaching a man to fish, but I just don't understand why it wouldn't be better to train more people in our military region?
This was easy for Comrade Zheng Ya. The old general was furious, but he was wholeheartedly devoted to consolidating national defense and had no selfish motives.
But the political commissar shut him up as soon as he opened his mouth: "Old buddy, all the major military regions across the country are watching."
The superiors' meaning was clear: one or two instances of getting something for nothing are acceptable, but not a repeated occurrence.
Do you want our entire Southeast Military Region to become parasites, lacking ambition and leading the entire nation in the same way?
"Uh, I understand now. I was thinking too one-sidedly about the problem!" The old general realized his mistake and lost his temper.
The political commissar reiterated: "Old buddy, don't take it to heart."
I made the same mistake as you just now, trying too hard to keep Comrade Zheng Ya to train more talents for our military region.
If it weren't for my superiors criticizing me for making a mistake, I would have been blinded and misled by Comrade Zheng Ya's gesture of turning people into technical backbones.
In fact, our superiors know that our starting point is to consolidate national defense, which is not wrong. The mistake lies in the long-term development of the army.
In the long run, the military's technical backbone should continue to learn from each other, adopting a learning attitude that builds on past experience and focuses on mastering technical skills.
This is the correct military development strategy for long-term stability and security.
Comrade Zheng Ya, however, had a far-sighted view than us old folks, and prevented us from making mistakes on this issue.
Otherwise, our superiors would punish us!
"Yes, yes, let's go eat. We can talk about it slowly at the dinner table. We can't let our heroes, who have been working so hard, not even have a meal, can we?" The old general understood that as long as he wasn't the only one who made a mistake, everything would be fine.
Zheng Ya did not refuse this time and followed the officers into the military district's small canteen, where they sat down in a private room to begin their meal.
The canteen at the military region headquarters serves four dishes and one soup.
A large round table was set up around which sat twelve generals, making thirteen with Zheng Ya included. They were eating a meal of four dishes and a soup, which was considered quite frugal.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Zheng Ya did not complain about the small amount of food; on the contrary, he ate a warm meal with the officers.
The atmosphere is important when dining. A lively atmosphere makes you feel good, and you'll enjoy every meal.
The officers in the army ate quickly. The thirteen men started eating and finished the four dishes and soup in no time.
After the meal, the old general began his performance again: "Comrade Zheng Ya, quickly tell us about the heroic deeds on Kou Island?"
"Uh, I can't answer that question. It was all done by my master, Master Qingyun. I was at sea and didn't know anything!" Zheng Ya couldn't explain it to them.
say what?
Using the Illusionary Spirit Technique, they can transform into various Japanese invaders, speak fluent Japanese, and infiltrate the upper echelons of the Japanese army.
Who would believe that if I told them?
Revealing that spatial supernatural power is attached to the skin, enabling one to run at a speed of several miles per step, and using the tiny island of Kou Island as a backyard to plunder resources back and forth, exposing one's supernatural spatial abilities—is that feasible?
Furthermore, by causing cerebral palsy among high-ranking Japanese officials and elite students, a cerebral palsy disease storm swept across the entire island of Koku, attracting worldwide attention and creating public pressure, Zheng Ya was able to take advantage of the chaos to strike.
He vehemently denies it.
Those were all the good deeds of Master Qingyun, and had nothing to do with Zheng Ya.
The old general, his gossip instincts kicking in, said: "Comrade Zheng Ya, could you give us a little hint?"
To satisfy the curiosity of us old revolutionaries.
You should be able to understand us old revolutionaries who witnessed firsthand the Japanese invaders' ravages on the country and its people.
That was a bloody hatred, carrying the resentment and hopes of countless heroes.
Even the extinction of the Japanese invaders would not be enough to atone for the crimes they committed in the country.
You've done what countless heroes wanted to do, how can you bear to watch us suffer in vain without offering any comfort?
"Well, all I can say is that the Japanese high command suffered from cerebral palsy, which led some people to issue orders indiscriminately, resulting in vicious incidents of violence and looting by the army, probably reducing their technological level to the Stone Age."
"Yes, that's right, it's the Stone Age, that's all." Zheng Ya couldn't reveal too much information, but this information was enough to shock people.
Technological regression, back to the Stone Age, is that what people say?
The officers were all dumbfounded, their expressions one of disbelief.
The political commissar said, finding it hard to believe, "Comrade Zheng Ya, this is too far-fetched."
"The Japanese invaders were at least among the world's most technologically advanced; how could they have regressed to the Stone Age?"
"What's wrong with that?"
The Japanese invaders lost all their gold, silver, copper, iron, and tin on their homeland, all their military industrial equipment was destroyed, and even their books were burned to the ground.
Even their tools were made of iron.
"Then tell me, what era's technological level do they belong to?" Zheng Ya wanted to make the Japanese invaders slaves and work them to death.
Having been transported back to the Stone Age, the Japanese invaders had no choice but to forage in the fields or fish at sea for a living.
Furthermore, the fact that cerebral palsy had become a disease in Japan had terrified the whole world, so it's estimated that no one would dare to set foot on Japanese soil for fear of contracting cerebral palsy.
In this way, the entire territory of the Japanese invaders became a forbidden zone.
Without anyone entering the country or large ships crossing the sea, the Japanese invaders had to fend for themselves, accept their fate, and become part of the Stone Age.
The old general was dumbfounded: "This, this is too amazing, it's truly breathtaking!"
"Yes, in this way, the Japanese invaders will all be reduced to farmers and fishermen, and will no longer have any reason to be arrogant!" the political commissar exclaimed, his whole body trembling with excitement.
The other officers grinned from ear to ear: "Haha, the Japanese invaders have finally met their match! How satisfying!"
"Yes, Master Qingyun is truly generous!"
"If the world knew about this method of punishment used against the Japanese invaders, it would probably be broadcast repeatedly on international channels, begging them not to come over, hahaha!"
"This is causing international panic. Foreign powers should be worried. How wonderful! Haha!"
"Yeah, now the US won't dare to be so arrogant, right?"
"They'd better act arrogantly, so that Master Qingyun can take care of them. I guarantee the United States will be begging you not to come over."
The room erupted in laughter...
