I saw the loyalty and pride shining in the eyes of countless officers and soldiers.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at Wang Yueheng, who was standing not far away with a calm expression. His heart was instantly filled with turmoil!
Two celebratory songs were just released yesterday.
Today, he actually wrote such a groundbreaking masterpiece on the spot for the Navy Cultural Troupe.
Not only is his creative talent amazing, but he also possesses such a profound sense of patriotism and a grand artistic vision!
Such talent is simply rare and hard to find!
"If only they could stay in the military and contribute to the cultural development of the navy!"
An unprecedentedly strong thought instantly grew wildly in Major General Tang Zhongru's mind.
No matter what, we must find a way to recruit talents like Wang Yueheng into the navy and make him one of us!
May his powerful and faithful singing voice forever resonate across the vast seas of our motherland!
Major General Tang Zhongru held the paper with the lyrics to "Singing for the Motherland" written on it, and the shock in his heart could not be calmed for a long time.
He suppressed the urge to immediately have Wang Yueheng sing a cappella on the spot, because he knew there were more important things to be determined right now.
"Commander Li, come here for a moment."
He then calmly called the equally excited troupe leader, Li Zhenbang, to a lounge next to the rehearsal hall and closed the door.
"Commander Li, what do you think of this song 'Singing for the Motherland,' as well as the previous songs 'The Motherland Will Not Forget' and 'A Man Should Be Self-reliant'?"
Major General Tang Zhongru asked in a deep voice, waving the lyrics paper in his hand.
Without hesitation, Li Zhenbang said decisively, "Commander, without a doubt, these are masterpieces worthy of being sung as classics and inspiring the morale of the army and the people! Especially this song, 'Singing for the Motherland,' its scope and spirit are among the few works I have seen in all my years working in the art troupe that can truly represent the powerful voice of an era! Wang Yueheng is a once-in-a-century genius!"
Major General Tang Zhongru nodded slightly, his eyes sharp as a hawk's: "Such a genius, such a deep love for his country, is lost to the people; it is our loss."
Li Zhenbang's heart skipped a beat, as if he understood something, and he tentatively asked, "Sir, what do you mean...?"
Rear Admiral Tang Zhongru looked intently at him: "What I mean is, at all costs, recruit him into the army! Let him become a member of our naval cultural troupe! Let him board the deck of the 'Dragon Might' as a naval officer! Let his singing truly become a part of our naval power!"
Although Li Zhenbang had somewhat anticipated it, hearing the decision in person still made his heart race.
Special recruitment, especially direct entry into units like the Navy Cultural Troupe, involves extremely strict procedures and very few openings.
It is usually only open to a very small number of top students from elite art schools or artists who have made outstanding contributions.
But without a doubt, with the talent and scope of Wang Yueheng's works, he is fully qualified to break the mold!
"I completely agree with the leader's decision!" Li Zhenbang immediately stated, "It's just... time is too tight, and the procedures..."
"I'll handle the formalities!" Major General Tang Zhongru waved his hand, displaying the decisive style of a soldier. "I will immediately report to the commander and initiate the special recruitment process. What you need to do now is to represent the cultural troupe and formally extend an invitation to Comrade Wang Yueheng, showing our sincerity and determination! Tell him that the Navy needs artistic elites like him!"
"Yes, sir! I guarantee I will complete the mission!" Li Zhenbang straightened his back, gave a standard military salute, and was filled with excitement and a sense of participation he had never felt before.
The two returned to the rehearsal hall, and everyone's eyes immediately turned to them.
Major General Tang Zhongru gave Li Zhenbang a wink.
"Comrade Wang Yueheng, after our preliminary review and that of our superiors, we unanimously agree that your outstanding artistic talent and profound patriotism are highly compatible with the spirit of our Navy, and you are a valuable talent urgently needed for the cultural development of the armed forces."
"Therefore, on behalf of the Naval Political Work Department's Cultural Troupe, I formally and sincerely invite you to join our Naval Cultural Troupe!"
"We will process your enlistment through a special talent recruitment channel. Once enlisted, you will automatically obtain military status, starting with the rank of second lieutenant."
"This means that your next performance on the 'Dragon Might' aircraft carrier will be as a naval arts and culture soldier, singing for your beloved motherland and people!"
Li Zhenbang took a deep breath, walked up to Wang Yueheng, and got straight to the point.
