Chapter 967 - Great Powers Rise, Dragons Awaken
“The reason why some people say that our military is weak is because they can only see what’s on the surface. Take a look at modern warfare. Whether it is a developed or developing country, or a poor and backward country, war can break out anytime.”
“And since the end of the Sino-Vietnamese war in February 1990, our country has been keeping a low profile, making sure nothing happens to our people and our livelihoods. All while building our military power in secret along with the strategic policy of peaceful development.”
“We keep a low profile, but we are ready at any time. We don’t take the first shot, but if anyone tries anything, our military will be there to fight! And we will win!”
“We don’t need to prove to anyone that our soldiers are strong or weak. We just need to remember that our soldiers are not weak, they are just waiting. If anyone says that our soldiers are weak, you can treat him as a fool. If a fool can see through our country’s power, then we are in trouble!”
“Weakness is just an illusion. How can the rise of a great power be judged by a few words from a fool?”
Ye Jian had never encountered anything like this. Even if she lived another lifetime, she wouldn’t be able to understand.
Commissar Yan’s last sentence struck Ye Jian like a lightning bolt, waking her up. That’s right. How can the rise of a great power be judged by a few words from a fool? If that were to be true, the country would be a joke.
“I understand. Thank you, commissar.” Ye Jian saluted the commissar who enlightened her and calmly said, “Your words made me understand that as a soldier, I don’t need to tell them that we are not weak and care about what they say. I just need to remember to hold my weapon and fight when commanded! Fight, and we will win!”
“That’s right. Our country needs to develop peacefully, and development requires stability, and the rise of a great power needs time. As soldiers, we work hard for the rise of our country. Weak? We are not weak! We have been training hard. Who dares to fire a shot at our country? Once the first shot is released, we will move out and fight to the end to defend our country!”
Commissar Yan didn’t mind giving Ye Jian a lesson. An excellent soldier must know the country’s direction. The country and the army are not weak. It’s on standby, ready to strike!
Seeing that Ye Jian’s eyebrows had loosened, Commissar Yan smiled again, “The next time a foreign soldier says that our soldiers are weak, I still wish to see you tell him who’s strong and who’s weak with your fists.”
“You can’t reason with a fool. Might as well fight and crush their confidence! Let them know what ‘weak’ is!”
Indeed, the mercenaries looked down on the Chinese, and she used her fists to let them know how powerful a female soldier was! He would never dare to say that the Chinese soldiers were weak again!
However, he didn’t have the chance to say it. Hou Zi’s men had already burnt him to ashes.
“If there’s a chance, I will make sure that they would be embarrassed to return to their army.” Ye Jian raised her eyebrows and smiled. She then saw Commander Liu’s clerk running over. “Commissar, Commander Liu’s clerk seems to be looking for you.”
“Report! Commissar, Commander Liu requests for Ye Jian to return to the office to answer the phone.” He was looking for Ye Jian, not Commissar Yan. And it was an urgent phone call!
It was a call from the military headquarters, and it was someone who made Ye Jian panic… Commander Xia.
Ye Jian said, “Hello, I’m Ye Jian”, and the voice from the other side made her stand at attention.
