Chapter 1344 A Battle of Gods? It Should Be Called Self-Defense!

"Old Lu, you're back?"

In a military family compound, a middle-aged woman wearing an apron is doing housework.

Lu Chong pushed the door open and came in from outside. As he put on his slippers, he let out a soft sigh.

Although he tried to be discreet, his lover noticed that his actions were different from usual.

His partner poured him a glass of water and handed it to him, asking, "What's wrong, Lao Lü? Is something bothering you at work?"

Lu Chong sat on the sofa, his briefcase beside him: "I've received a notice from above that I might be transferred."

"Transfer?"

His lover frowned: "Where have you been transferred to this time?"

As a military dependent, she participated in several of her husband's job transfers.

The most recent one was the rotation of garrisons a few years ago.

We moved from mountainous areas to mid-to-high altitude regions.

Although I was not used to it at first, I gradually got used to it.

However, this habit often takes time to develop. At this age, one naturally hopes to settle down and live a more stable life.

Lu Chong rubbed his temples and said two words: "Xinjiang, we need to go to the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps."

The lover asked in surprise, "Why so far? What kind of transfer is this time? They're all going to the Northwest."

"Yes, the pullback today was quite far."

"And what about in terms of position?"

"Keep it for now."

"Well, I thought I finally had a chance to move up."

"It's not that easy. Don't you see how many top military units across the country are stuck at this step?"

Although Lü Chong said this, he still held a glimmer of hope: "However, it's not entirely hopeless."

The lover asked in surprise, "What do you mean by that?"

Lü Chong explained, "This change in work is because headquarters wants to build a brand new team of composite division specialists to settle and defend the border..."

As a military family member, my spouse has been exposed to this kind of thing from a young age, and with frequent exposure to international news, he naturally understands the purpose behind it.

Every job change and promotion of Lü Chong must have had a deeper meaning behind it.

The country needs soldiers who can shoulder heavy responsibilities and are down-to-earth, and Lao Lü in his family is exactly that kind of person.

"This matter is not exactly a secret; the proposed construction plan has already been published on the military website."

"Each war zone dispatched elite troops and the best commanders to the Production and Construction Corps; outstanding talents were selected through centralized training and assessment."

"The position of division commander is also filled through fair competition. If you can become a division commander, you can be promoted to general."

My partner smiled broadly: "This is great news! Your unit is already top-notch, and the fact that your superiors are sending you over shows they value your abilities."

"How long will this intensive training and assessment last?"

"It will take at least three or four months, and at most half a year."

"Does that mean that after half a year, there's a chance to be promoted to general?"

"Ah."

"You absolutely have to go!"

My partner is also sensible.

In the past, job transfers did not involve much change in position.

Now that Lü Chong has reached a certain age, if he doesn't overcome that hurdle soon, he will have to retire to a local position.

Although, given his qualifications and contributions, he could enjoy good working conditions and a permanent position even if he returned to his hometown.

But having dedicated half their lives to the military, who would be willing to leave just like that?

Once you take off your uniform, you're no longer a soldier, but an ordinary citizen, and you can never go back to the military family.

Instead of cheering up in the face of his lover's encouragement, Lü Chong rubbed his face vigorously.

"What's wrong? You've been waiting for such a great opportunity, but it just won't come?"

"Or is it that there are many competitors and the competition is fierce?"

Lu Chong raised his head and sighed, "There are many competitors and the competition is fierce, but that's only one aspect. The Southwest is not the strongest; there are people like me in the Southeast, Northeast, Northwest, Central Plains, and the garrison."

"It's just a thought. Once we get there, it'll probably be like gods fighting every day."

"Just thinking about that scene gives me a headache."

"It is said that Man Xiongzhi from Zhurihe Grassland also went there."

My partner was startled: "You mean that guy who flattened Zhurihe and captured Man Xiongzhi alive, the professional Blue Team Man Xiongzhi?"

Lu Chong responded, "Is there anyone else in the whole country as famous as Man Xiongzhi?"

As a professional blue team player, Man Xiongzhi's reputation is undoubtedly impressive.

Moreover, he was stuck at the senior colonel level and couldn't advance to the next rank.

With him around, he's a threat on par with a demon king, and everyone trembles in fear.

His wife sensed his pressure and gently comforted him, saying, "Even so, we shouldn't be discouraged. As long as we go, we'll have a chance."

"If you can't even sell this one piece, then next year you really will have to take off your uniform and leave the army."

“I know.” Lü Chong nodded: “If we don’t go, the chance is zero; if we go, there’s a sliver of success. But, as it stands, that chance of success is almost one percent.”

"It can't be that small. I think it should be at least 20% or 30%."

Your partner praised you, saying, "You're still great. The biggest threat is Man Xiongzhi. Other commanders of the same rank in other war zones are definitely no match for you, and they're definitely not as good as you."

Lu Chong smiled slightly: "I'm confident about that too; because not everyone who comes is a combined arms brigade commander."

"From the southeast, comes Captain He of the Wolf Fang Special Forces; the deputy commander of the Eagle Division from the Central Plains Theater has also come to join the fun, along with the navy..."

"The navy is here too?"

My partner didn't understand: "Is there a sea in this Northwest region?"

Lu Chong laughed and said, "Whether there are any chances or not, let's take a shot first. What if we succeed? Senior Colonel and Major General may seem to be only one rank apart, but there is a huge gap between them."

"Among the people I know, there are many who will never reach this level."

"Who doesn't want to overcome this hurdle? Who doesn't want to wear the shining star of a general?"

"Honestly, if I could become the commander of a combined arms division and wear the rank of general, even if I died in the line of duty the next day, I would think it would be worth it."

His lover hit him and glared at him with a reproachful look.

Lü Chong realized he had said something wrong and quickly spat it out.

Everyone has their own obsessions, otherwise they would have no hope for life at all.

Whether it's pursuing fame or profit, it all boils down to setting a goal for oneself and making difficulties more meaningful.

Logically speaking, those billionaire bosses have so much money that they could never spend it all in dozens of lifetimes, so why do they still keep working instead of just lying down and traveling the world?

Is it that they don't want a good life or comfort?

of course not.

It's just to find a goal, to find something to look forward to.

Your lover asked curiously, "You said earlier that you were one of the people sent to the war zone, so who are the others, and what are their abilities?"

Lu Chong's mood, which had just calmed down, suddenly soured again: "The other one is Brigade Commander Liu of the H Group Army, whose ability is below mine."

"That's great, your chances of winning are even greater."

"The last one..."

Lu Chong shook his head with a wry smile, leaning back on the sofa with a dejected look, really unable to muster any energy.

My partner asked curiously, "What's so special about the last one? Is it amazing? What's its name?"

Lü Chong: "Qin Feng".

"what?"

The lover stood up in shock: "You mean, Xiao Qin, he's going too?"

Lu Chong nodded helplessly: "We were all assigned by the headquarters. He was personally selected by headquarters. Do you think I still have a chance of winning?"

His lover sighed, "It's not just you who has no chance of winning; I think even Man Xiongzhi might not have much of a chance..."

"Yes, with Qin Feng gone, it's like gods fighting, a battle of wits."

Lu Chong said in a half-joking tone, "With Qin Feng here, the others would probably be acting in self-defense..."
