After saying that, Shen Heng stopped and looked at Zhou Zhenguo.
Zhou Zhenguo frowned, pondered for a while, and then looked at Lu Xunzhou.
Seeing this, Shen Heng breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that he was halfway to success. He then turned his gaze to Lu Xunzhou.
Just as he was about to speak, Lu Xunzhou spoke first:
" Captain Shen, no need to say anything more. Although I still don't quite agree with splitting the forces, I can accept it if it's divided into two teams!"
"Huh? You're going against me, aren't you? You agree with two branches, but not with three!" Zhou Zhenguo couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
"Although it may seem like only one less unit, the actual difference is enormous!" Lu Xunzhou said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Leaving aside the increased troop strength, both cities we're heading to are garrisoned by other members of the Supervision Bureau, so the chances of success are undoubtedly..."
Looking down, Shen Heng stared at the surface of the water in the cup.
Unite, divide forces...
Actually, compared to Elder Zhou, he preferred Lu Xunzhou's plan. However, although he didn't participate in their argument, Elder Zhou's words did influence him.
In war, there is never a 100% guaranteed chance of victory!
However, dividing the already limited forces into three groups was indeed quite risky...
After a while, two figures emerged from the command room and walked on the roads of Bedrock City.
" Captain Shen, thank you for what you just said!" Lu Xunzhou said.
"It was just a normal military discussion, nothing to thank me for," Shen Heng replied, glancing sideways at Lu Xunzhou. "On the contrary, your exchange has been very beneficial to me; I should be the one thanking you!"
"No, don't say you've benefited greatly," Lu Xunzhou waved his hand, "With Captain Shen's talent, even without us, your progress would only be a matter of speed!"
"Talent, huh..." Shen Heng murmured, a slight elation rising within him, but that was all. He was well aware of his current military capabilities.
"Hmm, this is the first time I've seen the commander look at someone like that," Lu Xunzhou recalled the commander's gaze when Captain Shen finished speaking.
Even he, who had followed him for many years, had never seen that kind of look before.
He seemed to have thought of something, and his gaze suddenly turned to Shen Heng, saying seriously,
" Captain Shen, have you considered transferring to our military system?"
Transferred to the military system?... Shen Heng looked at Lu Xunzhou with some surprise, "Is there any difference?"
"Do you know about the Martial Academy?" Lu Xunzhou asked.
"Mm." Shen Heng nodded.
The Martial Academy was established after the base integrated the reserve academy of inspectors who had been assigned there. It was an academy used to teach warriors in the Erosion Zone who could sense Origin Power how to cultivate and fight.
"If that's the case, how do you think the Martial Academy will develop in the future?" Lu Xunzhou asked.
"Development?" Shen Heng stopped and glanced at Lu Xunzhou.
"Yes, development!" Lu Xunzhou also stopped and nodded at Shen Heng.
Shen Heng withdrew his gaze and continued walking forward.
He hadn't really thought about how the Martial Academy would develop.
In reality, conventional colleges don't have much room for development; it's simply a matter of how much resources are invested.
Moreover, even with substantial resources invested, an academy is ultimately just an academy; it merely instructs students...
Wait, students?
As if remembering something, Shen Heng glanced at Lu Xunzhou.
Nowadays, those trained at the Martial Academy are mostly military personnel.
And the other party just mentioned the military system again...
Shen Heng paused for a moment, then said, "We're all from the same country, so there's no point in talking about transferring it."
Lu Xunzhou smiled, understanding that Shen Heng already understood.
"That's what they say, but people are naturally inclined to stick together with their own kind."
Shen Heng nodded, offering no objection.
Seeing this Lu Xunzhou continued, "Of course, I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to say that as time goes on, the high-level positions will likely still lean towards the Supervision Bureau, but the mid-level positions will probably be entirely biased towards our Military Department. If you can transfer here, you might gain more in the future than if you stayed in the Supervision Bureau!"
Shen Heng walked forward.
He did not question Lu Xunzhou's words.
Or rather, this thing is actually slowly taking shape.
The Erosion Zone is mostly populated by ordinary soldiers. Although they don't have many resources, they are destined to become stronger over time.
If the Supervision Bureau doesn't change its approach, it won't be able to catch up.
No, or rather, even if things change, it's unlikely that we can catch up.
After all, their natures are different, and the number of personnel in the Supervision Bureau can never match that of the military.
Currently, the Great Xia Supervision Bureau probably has only around 10,000 people in total.
But the Military Department alone has tens of thousands of troops in the Plateau Erosion Zone!
In other words, in the future, as time goes by, the military system will rapidly grow stronger, acquire more resources quickly, and eventually surpass the Supervision Bureau.
If I transfer to the military system and receive preferential treatment in terms of resources, I may not be able to catch up with those in the Supervision Bureau, but I will definitely be able to catch up with or even surpass them in the future!
So, shall we go?
Lu Xunzhou walked forward.
He didn't look at Captain Shen beside him; he was simply waiting for a reply.
He believed there was nothing to hesitate about, since it was all about serving the people, just in a different place.
Moreover, you'll gain access to more resources after moving to a different location.
Of course, he couldn't decide the resources that Captain Shen would receive after the switch, but he could tell from the leader's eyes just now that if Captain Shen came, the other party would definitely help him fight for them.
Moreover, while it's called "striving," it shouldn't require much effort, since he has already seen Captain Shen's capabilities.
Of course, it would be great if the ability could evolve further!
Suddenly, he stopped.
" Captain Shen, have you made a decision?" Lu Xunzhou turned his head and asked, a smile about to appear on his lips...
"This is not conducive to unity!"
The unexpected words caused the smile on Lu Xunzhou's face to freeze slightly.
He looked at the figure in front of him.
Captain Shen is probably more than ten years younger than me, right?
Don't you understand yet?
No, given their intelligence, they shouldn't be unaware of this. Perhaps I didn't explain it clearly?
Various words filled Lu Xunzhou's mind, but none could compare to the one sentence he had just heard.
Your actions are detrimental to unity!
Sincere, earnest, troubled...
Apart from that, Lu Xunzhou couldn't detect any other emotion in that sentence.
He couldn't suppress the feeling of shame that welled up inside him.
He suddenly understood why the commander had looked at the other person that way earlier...
"I'm sorry, that's not what I meant!" Lu Xunzhou said with some difficulty.
"It's nothing, I have something to do, I'll be going now!"
His response was this simple sentence, and then his departing figure.
Somewhat incredulously, Lu Xunzhou looked up at the departing figure.
Do such people really exist in this world?
