Chapter 34: The Same Process, Different Hearts

"Then you are praising me."

"I know what you think."

"What's your thought?" Mu Haoyang was a little curious.

"In the past four years, you have missed countless promotion opportunities. Watching others climb up, you are still standing there. Maybe you didn't feel it before, but now you must have a lot of ideas. The opportunity is right in front of you, so you just want to seize the opportunity and prove your value."

"Is this wrong?"

"Of course, the driving force of anyone is to realize personal value, and you have chosen the most correct way." Lu Wen paused for a moment and said, "But as a friend, I must remind you that if you can only see what you see, then you will never be the commander like Huang Zhibo."

Mu Haoyang's brows jumped a few times, but he didn't answer.

"Don't tell me, you don't want to be the commander-in-chief like Huang Zhibo."

"Napolom said that a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier."

"So, I'm right, then you have to learn to think about problems like Huang Zhibo. Although there is no need to do this with your current identity and status, you must at least take a long-term view, don't be eager for quick success or short-term profits, and don't be limited to the present."

"Mr. Lu, is this your advice to me?"

"That's right, after all, we are friends."

Mu Haoyang smiled and said nothing.

"Do you know why Huang Zhibo values ​​you so much?"

Mu Haoyang shook his head, he didn't feel he was being valued.

"Because you have a temperament that other soldiers don't have."

"What temperament?"

"atmosphere."

Mu Haoyang frowned, not understanding Lu Wen's meaning.

"You showed this temperament at the Volunteer Army Headquarters." Lu Wen smiled and said, "Although you ranked last among the 'Five Tiger Generals' selected by Huang Zhibo, and you are the only one who has not stayed until the end of the war. At present, it seems that the other four are better than you. Qi Kaiwei is already the director of the Operations Department of the General Staff, and his mother Qi Tie is responsible for the development of air force equipment. Yang Yufang is not far from the commander of the Navy's Aviation Force, and Zhou Yusheng is doing well in the East China Sea Fleet. Maybe he will become the commander of the fleet after the war is over. But I am sure that the future of the four of them is not as good as you, and you can achieve greater achievements than them in ten years."

"Mr. Lu, you respect me so much."

"I didn't joke with you. Now there is only the two of us, so there is no need to joke with you." Lu Wen was very serious. "Qi Kaiwei was valued because he would obey Huang Zhibo's orders in a decisive way, and Huang Zhibo actually had the final say in the combat department he led. The mother Qi Tie was sent to take charge of equipment development because he paid too much attention to details and had a serious lack of a sense of the overall situation. The technical position was more suitable for him. Yang Yufang ran around, not because he had outstanding abilities, but because he was better at coordinating various departments and was very good at handling interpersonal relationships. As for Zhou Yusheng, unless he could jump out of the submarine force, he would be just a submarine commander in ten years."

"I'm not much better than them."

"This is the past, not the present. In fact, even four years ago, because you came from the special forces and had contact with various military branches, you are better than them. After four years of study, you have mastered so much knowledge and have a very intuitive experience of war. Are you still worse than them? It's not that I polite you, but in future wars, we can only win by occupying the commanding heights of science and technology. It can be imagined that in the future army, the quality of officers and soldiers must be comprehensively improved, and officers like you who understand technology will inevitably be valued."

Mu Haoyang smiled and shook his head, without answering.

"Actually, when you decided to go to school for further studies, you considered this issue?"

"No, I made the decision immediately and didn't think about it at all."

"So, if you were either idiots, you were geniuses."

"Mr. Lu, what you said..."

"Am I wrong?" Lu Wen smiled, "Only idiots will leave the hot senior staff position and return to school for further studies when the war is about to end. Only geniuses can spend four years in exchange for a brighter future after seeing through the essence of things. Imagine that if you decided to stay at that time, Huang Zhibo would definitely try every means to give you an exception and advancement opportunity, and wait until the war is over before making up for the lack of degree. But in this way, you have to stay with Huang Zhibo, spend your youth in busy jobs like the four of them, and you will not have the chance to come into contact with such a major scientific research project, and you will not be able to get this opportunity. As for future development, unless you are willing to give up the title you are about to get, you will be retired at most at the age of 65. In the face of vested interests, you may even be timid."

"Mr. Lu, are you a prophet?"

"Of course not, but I've seen too many similar things."

"So, the rumors outside are not fake."

"What rumors?"

"Your relationship with President Lu."

Lu Wen was stunned for a moment and said, "Mu Haoyang, be generous, be a dignified naval colonel, don't ask around for information like a goblin."

"I'm not a goblin."

"What do you mean?"

"Mr. Lu, I don't want to argue with you. In fact, no matter what relationship you have and Mr. Lu is, because you have proved your ability."

"This is pretty good, don't mention these things in front of me in the future."

"Okay, if you say you don't mention it, don't mention it."

"Don't tell anyone else."

"So, you admit it?"

"I didn't admit anything." Lu Wen glared at Mu Haoyang, "You'll talk nonsense anymore, be careful that I'll report it so that you can't afford to take it."

"Lu Gong, be generous."

"I am a woman, not a man, so what kind of magnanimity do I want?"

Mu Haoyang rolled his eyes, feeling that he could not reason with Lu Wen.

"All right, I know you won't talk nonsense." Lu Wen said with a long breath, "When I see Lao Zhou, I will say hello to me. No matter what, he has helped us in North Korea. I have never met him for four years since I came back. If I have time, I will go to Zhoushan to find you."

"What are you doing in Zhoushan?"

"I'm going to Shanghai to visit several university professors this time. It's not far from Zhoushan. I'll take a look. Can't it?"

"Of course, Zhoushan is not my home. You can go if you want."

"So, don't you welcome me?"

Mu Haoyang was stunned for a moment, and knew that Lu Wen had something to say, so he quickly said, "Mr. Lu, don't be so arrogant, okay? I went to Zhoushan and only went to the fleet to report, and Lao Zhou might not be waiting for you to visit at the base. If you want to see him, call first to make an appointment."

"When I see him, a big-headed ghost, I'm looking for trouble, why do I see him?"
