Taking the phone from Qian Shanxue, which had a faint scent of her body, and looking at the detailed notification, Shen Qiang looked at the bright-eyed Qian Shanxue and said, "Is becoming a general so important to you?"
The beautiful Qian Shanxue said seriously, "It's my dream. I've prepared for this for over ten years. Now the opportunity has co. Before, I didn't have enough military rit or seniority. I qualified for the selection but could never win. Now, I have enough rit and seniority. I don't want to miss this chance."
Shen Qiang smiled, handed the phone back to Qian Shanxue, and then looked at her bright eyes and said, "Don't make it sound so simple. There are fifteen colonels in the combat team, each with outstanding military achievents. In terms of seniority, many are older than you. In military rit, many are higher. In combat power, they don't seem inferior to you."
Upon hearing these words, Qian Shanxue fell silent.
Beside her, Ye Xiaolei hurriedly comforted, "Colonel, you are brilliant. If you work hard, you will certainly seize the opportunity."
Qian Shanxue smiled at Ye Xiaolei.
At this point, Shen Qiang calmly poured cold water on Qian Shanxue's enthusiasm: "In this world, everyone is working hard, everyone has dreams, but very few can realize them. When I was young, my greatest dream was to own a machine that could absorb gold. That way, I could lie at ho, and gold would continuously appear around . Then I would get rich, eat whatever I want, play gas whenever I want. I put in the effort and persisted for a long ti for this dream."
Ye Xiaolei was astonished, "So what happened?"
"The dream ended." Shen Qiang smiled, turned to Qian Shanxue and said, "You have seniority, military rit, and combat power. It seems you have all the qualifications for the major general promotion, but in reality, the other fourteen people have the sa."
"That's why I need your help." Qian Shanxue said coldly, "This is an order."
Looking into her serious eyes, Shen Qiang smiled, "Helping you is not a problem, but you must understand, if seniority alone could get you promoted, then you just need to endure patiently and you will beco a general sooner or later. But if you must seize this chance for the major general selection now, I can tell you directly, the chances are slim."
Hearing this, Ye Xiaolei said in surprise, "Senior Shen Qiang, the notification said, to be fair, everyone's points would be reset to zero, and within a month, the promotion would be determined based on the points. That way, everyone has an equal chance. Why do you say the colonel has slim chances?"
Shen Qiang smiled, "Because there are too many unpredictable factors. Simply put, the areas under others' jurisdiction may have major cases that could earn ten points post-resolution, but in our area, we only have small cases that earn one point. How can we compete? Is that fair?"
Ye Xiaolei was stunned.
"Heshenghe just set rules for cultivators and demons. In the short term, daring cultivators and demons coming to the Provincial City might exist, but definitely not too many." Shen Qiang said, "This is a natural disadvantage."
"Look at the more chaotic areas, cris by cultivators and demons erge one after another. While you have nothing to do here, others are capturing nurous criminals and accumulating countless military rits." Looking at Qian Shanxue, Shen Qiang sighed, "So the purpose of this selection is simple, it's to motivate those captains in more complex areas."
Qian Shanxue said coldly, "This is unfair."
Ye Xiaolei also frowned and said, "Yes, this is too unfair. The colonel has done so well, the cri rate in our area is always kept very low..."
"That's the problem. If the world didn't have any thieves, why would we need police?" Shen Qiang said calmly, raising an eyebrow and interrupting, "To be honest, Colonel Qian Shanxue, I don't think you're suitable to be a general."
"Why?" Qian Shanxue's face turned cold, "It's my dream. It's because I want to be a general that I've co this far."
Shen Qiang said helplessly, looking at Qian Shanxue, "But you're not ready. You're just a martial general at most. Charging and fighting is fine, but in strategy, you're far behind."
Hearing this, Qian Shanxue's expression turned icy. She then said very unhappily, "Shen Qiang, do you think you can look down on now?"
"From an intelligence perspective, yes." Shen Qiang nodded.
Upon hearing this, Qian Shanxue's face turned frosty, and she said angrily, "Enough! Shen Qiang! I just wanted you to help , not hear you belittle ."
Shen Qiang said, "I suggest you calm down and listen to , because if I didn't truly consider you a friend, you wouldn't hear these words from ."
Qian Shanxue suppressed her anger and said, "Say it then."
Shen Qiang smiled and said, "You made the sa mistake as Zhan Deyuan. Do you rember what he said during the interview? He killed all the cultivators and demons in his jurisdiction. Then what? The entire area had no cases, and all the mbers of the Dragon Group were idle. As a result, his superiors saw no need for promotion, blad him, and eventually, he joined Heshenghe."
"Unlike secular police, in the secular world, reducing the cri rate in an area is an achievent. But in the cultivation world, things are more traditional. No one cares why there are no cris in your area. People focus on major cases and your performance in them. So the more chaotic the place, the easier it is to beco a hero."
Qian Shanxue said, "I understand your point. You an that we've done too well here, so we lack opportunities to show our abilities?"
"That's about right." Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow, "The saying 'rcy doesn't manage soldiers, good people don't police' is not a joke. When I was little, I heard a story about a pot repairman who went to a house to fix a pot."
"At that ti, the pot had only a tiny crack, repairable or not. So the repairman took advantage of the pause while cleaning the pot's bottom ash and made the crack bigger, then showed it to the owner, who was surprised and grateful, saying, 'Luckily, we t you today. Otherwise, the pot would be unusable.' The repairman not only received the repair fee but also the owner's sincere thanks."
"Isn't that a despicable fraudster?" Ye Xiaolei was shocked.
Shen Qiang laughed, "Yuan Chonghuan guarded Ningyuan, repelling many strong enemies without eliminating them completely. He then used the presence of strong enemies to continually request military funds from the Court to reinforce himself. This is the sa principle as the pot-repair story. Do you think he's a fraud too?"
Qian Shanxue and Ye Xiaolei looked at each other and fell silent.
After a mont, Qian Shanxue solemnly said, "Shen Qiang, if you want to condone those cultivation criminals to gain opportunity and recognition, you will be disappointed. I would rather not be a general than do that."
