Qin Youde closed the book and threw it on the table.
He said slowly: "Our attention has been focused on improving combat effectiveness and absorbing survivors, but we have ignored one problem."
"The world has changed. In the face of disasters, everyone suffers.
The heart also changes accordingly. "
Everyone in the conference room looked at Qin Youde with a heavy face and remained silent.
"People usually have only one worry when they are hungry."
“But once you’re full, you’ll have countless worries.”
"Many times, many worries can only be overcome by eating enough." Qin Youde handed the notebook on the table to the officer in front, indicating that after reading it, he would pass it to the people around him for circulation.
Most of these people perform their duties outside the area, except for a small number of officials responsible for maintaining stability and logistics in the safe zone.
Many people actually don't know what is happening in the safe zone...
A thousand-mile embankment is destroyed by an anthill, something as small as a sesame seed.
These things are also the pain that every safe zone and every human force must experience and face.
Even though Qin Youde is in the front-line fighting force, he is the nominal captain of the joint defense team after all, and he has always attracted people's attention to things in the safety zone.
When receiving these grassroots news today, Qin Youde was silent on the spot.
As everyone circulated, the conference room soon fell into a deathly silence.
Then... comes the explosion!
"Commander! I...I don't know this..." A logistics officer stood up suddenly, his face pale.
"These worms should be shot on the spot!" This was the thick-browed Lieutenant General.
"Hmph! That's great!" This was the hook-nosed Lieutenant General.
"The army has been hit hard and supplies are in short supply. Unexpectedly, there are still complaints in the safe zone that they are not soldiers of the people...the army is unfair...
They should all be brought to the front line! Let them see what the frontline soldiers are eating! "
"These lazy cowards only know how to enjoy the protection and supplies of the army!"
"There are actually Goulan people who voluntarily sell themselves! There is actually a black market that sells guns with military serial numbers!"
"This is sucking blood! This is destroying!"
Seeing everyone's true and false gestures, Qin Youde continued slowly: "So, eat less."
"In the safe zone, many survivors just want to avoid enjoying themselves and are unwilling to go out to find supplies to reduce the pressure in the safe zone."
"They don't understand that the safe zone is not only the military's safe zone, but also their safe zone!"
Qin Youde's voice became heavier and heavier: "Some people go deep into the hinterland of the city to fight in the areas with the most demon species."
"This is not a meat pigeon game where you can kill them with just your fingers, and those demons are not lambs to be slaughtered!"
"Those who go deep into the hinterland will also suffer bloody casualties!"
"It's freezing outside, and the wind is as cold as a knife!" Qin Youde suddenly raised his arms and pointed outside: "Some people are nesting in caves and on top of buildings."
"They use snow as their quilt and the ground as their mattress."
"Eating cold compressed biscuits and drinking ice-cold water."
"Just so that the people in the safe zone can live a better life."
Qin Youde's voice was a little low: "But now, those people are nestled in comfortable and warm beds, enjoying the protection of the army and the fruits of hard work outside, but they are still blaming and complaining about the injustice of the army!"
"In troubled times, important regulations should be used. I propose that from now on, the material rations for everyone on our side should be the same as those of frontline grassroots officers and soldiers! Those in the safety zone should be reduced..."
Before Qin Youde finished speaking, a senior colonel stood up and interrupted: "This is unfair to some old, weak, sick and disabled people. They don't have the ability to..."
"The origin of civilization lies in unity! And unity and freedom are inherently contradictory!" Qin Youde looked at him with a cold eyebrow and said without giving in at all: "The people on the front line risk their bodies and lives to detonate missiles!"
'I ask you, is this fair? '
The colonel looked ugly and did not respond for a long time.
Because he knows it's not fair.
Why are they the ones who are being sacrificed?
Life is equal!
"Hmph!" Qin Youde snorted coldly, "In times of crisis, you only have responsibility!"
"You're here! Are you clamoring for equality with me?!"
"That's the bad habit that comes from living a good life for too long!"
"You can enjoy equality only because someone is willing to endure inequality!"
Qin Youde looked at the book in the distance that was still being circulated.
The scars on his face kept twisting and squirming.
Qin Youde's voice was a little sad and angry: "Kaifu Temple observation point, the missing seventh observer, reconnaissance battalion platoon leader Zhu Gui, one-year private An Xu."
"At the Fanxing Building observation point, the third-term sergeant Qi Gaojun and the one-year private guard the people."
"Phoenix Cultural Plaza, fourth-term military officer, and first-year private Li Qiang."
Qin Youde closed his eyes and thought quickly about the soldiers at the observation point who had died since the disaster.
He knew very well that without the efforts of these people, even with the commander's predictions, the military would not be able to quickly achieve the current progress.
After reading out the lost observers at more than thirty observation points in succession,
Qin Youde slowly opened his eyes, with bloodshot eyes.
"If it had been in the past, I could have given him a plaque and taken care of his family..."
"But what now?"
Qin Youde looked around at the silent officials and smiled bitterly: "There is nothing! Except for the cold list of the dead..."
Then he turned his head and looked at the colonel fiercely: "People are humble and humble, and only the winning side can define right and wrong. This is how the real world is, fair? It's just a joke, isn't it?"
The senior colonel's expression was a little unnatural. People always have likes and dislikes.
As an office clerk, he loves famous paintings and antiques, but he had no real power before the disaster, and his meager salary could only allow him to look at them for a while.
But after the disaster, the army was reorganized.
He received the opportunity to change the regrets of his life.
He received many benefits from high-ranking officials before the disaster, as well as some difficult favors, and also opened many back doors for some people.
Including but not limited to supplies, official positions, weapons, etc.
The senior colonel looked around, and everywhere he looked was filled with righteous indignation.
He felt even more miserable.
If this matter is uprooted once it comes to the forefront, then he may...
The colonel bit the bullet and said: "Reducing the rights of some people so that others can develop... This may be strategic, but it is not just!"
"Hmph!" Qin Youde snorted coldly: "As long as the purpose is just, you can do whatever it takes!"
The two faced off again for a while, but in the end it was the senior colonel who lacked confidence who lost.
Seeing the senior colonel sitting on the chair in despair, Qin Youde continued: "I propose to make the following arrangements. From now on, the original material distribution in the safety zone will be reduced..."
"Everyone must move to strengthen the security defense line to cope with the demonic siege in six months!"
"If you feel that venturing out and reinforcing the defense layer is too tiring, then go farm in the experimental field!"
"Everyone wants..."
...
Following Qin Youde's methodical deployment, he spoke one by one,
The conference room turned from noisy to silently watching the young man in his early twenties. Some people secretly glanced at the aging but expressionless commander with their peripheral vision.
The future life is terrible!
This day... it's going to change.
This is the only thought in everyone's mind.
At the same time, the future of the vast majority of survivors in Southern Zhili was decided.
After Qin Youde finished speaking and everyone completed the discussion and supplements.
The commander tiredly made the final decision: "Ahem... both topics have been discussed. Since we have no objections, the meeting is over and we should implement it immediately."
Seeing everyone stand up and salute and leave, he added: "Ahem... Most of you are soldiers, and soldiers should behave like soldiers. Don't be like those politicians who work in secret, cheat on others, and cheat on others. .....”
"If I find out...cough cough cough..." the commander coughed violently and waved his hands without saying anything more.
Wait until everyone leaves.
Qin Youde stepped forward and held the commander's old bark-like hand, with a worried look on his face: "Uncle, you'd better use less predictions, you are all..."
The latter tried his best to suppress his cough and waved his hand: "It doesn't matter...it's you..."
As he spoke, he reached out and touched the centipede-like ugly scar on Qin Youde's face, "Thank you for your hard work these days."
"No..." Before Qin Youde finished speaking, a major general broke into the conference room. After reporting to the commander, he said to Qin Youde: "Major Qin! A demon species appeared on the west side, code name 'Ghost Scorpion'!
It is approaching the frontline defense circle. All members of the two Class B sharp knife squads have been killed and are in urgent need of your support! "
