"I refuse."

The old man drank tea and refused firmly, "Don't think that if you saved my wife, I will listen to you in everything. If you want me to go to the battlefield again, there is no way!"

"Why?" Zheng Gan was puzzled.

However, these three words seemed to touch the old man's reverse scale.

"Why?!"

The old man slapped the table and shouted: "Because this is not my business alone!

Do you want me to fight again? I am not afraid of death, I want to fight. If I can’t be so old, I will die!

But what did my family gain after fighting for this country all their lives?

My eldest son died, my second son died, and my grandson died!

They all sacrificed themselves for this country and fought on the battlefield. Our family did not seek wealth and glory, and we had no regrets.

But how do young people in Tianshan treat us now?!

Now, what are you still in the face to beg us? Say ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The old man's voice became louder and louder, as if he was about to vent all the grievances he had accumulated over the years.

His body kept trembling slightly, and his fists were tightly clenched with power that was beyond common sense.

Facing the sad and angry eyes, Zheng Gan sighed helplessly.

Zheng Gan couldn't understand his feelings.

In fact, his feelings are exactly what most veterans feel.

Forget it, you will be bullied. The person you bullied is the person you once protected with your life and their descendants.

Who can stand it?

If he just scolds him a few times, he can relieve him, which is a good thing.

Zheng Gan sighed again, took out a package from his arms, and placed it gently on the table with both hands.

"This is yours. The gate of Zhujian Pavilion will be opened for you at 2 pm tomorrow. I believe you will come."

After saying that, Zheng Gan turned around and left.

Until his back left, the old man had never looked back at him.

It took a long time for the old man to come back to his senses.

He looked down at the white cloth left by Zheng Gan, and the old man slowly lifted it open.

Inside, there were twelve military medals lying.

...

The afternoon sky suddenly turned cloudy.

But at Zheng Gan's request, Jianren and Jianhuo still came to the square of Zhujian Pavilion.

What is Zheng Gan’s answer? Jian Ren thought about it for a day but couldn’t find a clue.

There is an old saying: Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world.

This should be a view that many rulers agree with.

What is something more important than the people’s hearts?

Jian Ren really couldn't figure it out.

When Jianren followed Zheng Gan to Zhujiange Square, he couldn't figure it out even more.

There was not a single hair in the square.

Just like usual.

"King Zheng Zhan, what is the point of bringing me here?" Jian Ren asked carefully.

"You'll know when you wait."

Zheng Gan hugged his chest, as majestic as an old pine, with confidence in his eyes: "They will come, sure!"

"Wait?" Jian Ren and Jian Huo Shuangshuang were puzzled: "Wait for whom."

"I said it, I'll know when I wait."

In this way, everyone waited here for a full three hours.

The cat lying on the roof was so angry that he yawned repeatedly.

At around 3:00 p.m., Jianren was a little impatient even though he had a good temper.

He said with some dissatisfaction: "What, King Zheng Zhan, I know that you are more familiar with the country's internal affairs than me, but after all, I am the leader of a country, and I have a lot to do every minute and every second.

Isn’t it good to just wait like that?”

Zheng Gan was as moved as a mountain and said calmly: "If you leave now, you will let them down.

If you leave now, Tianshan will lose its soul.

They are more important than any national event.”

"them?"

Jianren really can't understand.

But at this moment.

Zheng Gan, who had not moved for three or four hours, suddenly raised his head and looked at the Xuanjian Gate in the distance.

"Here you come!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Jian Ren and Jian Huo Shuangshuang raised his spirits and followed his eyes, trying to see which onion was so grand that the leaders of the two countries waited here for three or four hours.

However, when Jian Ren Jianhuo saw the figure coming from the other end of Xuan Jian Gate, both of them were stunned.

I saw that there were densely packed Xuanjian Gate, and nearly 300 old men walked towards me.

"They are..."

Jianren couldn't help but gasp.

I saw that these old men were from sixty to eighty-year-olds.

There are more than a dozen, and they are even paralyzed in their lower limbs.

The youngest one is over fifty years old.

All of these more than 300 old men were wearing old Tianshan military uniforms.

Although old, without exception, the clothes are straight and the military appearance is neat.

It is hard to imagine that this kind of old military uniform has been eliminated for three generations, and now it can only be seen in museums. It is preserved like new by more than 300 elderly people.

The old man with more than ten medals on his left chest reached the most money and shouted in an aging but full of energy: "All members! Line up!"

With a loud bang, three hundred old men lined up in an orderly queue.

Even those who are pushing a wheelchair are lined up neatly at the end.

The old man in charge glanced at Zheng Gan.

Zheng Gan also looked at him gratefully.

【You are indeed here.】

【Yes, I'm here.】

A simple conversation was completed with his eyes, and the old man shouted.

"stand at attention!"

All the veterans put together a standard military rank that was enough to shame any contemporary soldier.

The old man shouted loudly: "Report to the commander, the remnants of the Thousand Cavalry Regiment of the Second Regiment of the Sixth Division have been assembled and can join the battle at any time!"

At this moment, Jianren's emotions collapsed.

The high morale of the veterans hit his heart.

In just one second, he understood what Zheng Gan wanted to say?

"These veterans in their seventies and eighties have lived through life and death for the country. Even though their lives were extremely miserable in their later years, even if the public opinion had insulted and misunderstood them.

But you also see that when this country and the world need them, they will still stand up without hesitation."

Zheng Gan turned to Jian Ren and shouted: "Public opinion is important, but if public opinion is everything, then whoever is right or wrong will make the people vote and decide for themselves. What's the use of justice?

Just because a person hates him, he is convicted, just like he was just smeared by the Propaganda and Trade Group for a few times, and the people felt that the veterans were dragging down the country.

Look at these veterans, do you think it is really right to exclude their public opinion?

Public opinion is important, but a ruler must have his own opinions. Not only should he compromise properly when the public opinion is right, but he should also dare to disobey public opinion when the public opinion is wrong.

To follow the public opinion, we must be above the public opinion!
