Chapter 203: Chapters 198, 199: Recruiting 30 Million Soldiers! (Subscription Extra X2)_3 Chapter 203: Chapters 198, 199: Recruiting 30 Million Soldiers! (Subscription Extra X2)_3 “Too idealistic, there weren’t that many people willing to face the Zerg!”
“In this Catastrophe Era, facing terrifying alien monsters, who would be willing to do that? I surely wouldn’t!”
“Thirty million people, there’s no way to fill those numbers!”
“If it were three hundred thousand, it might be possible.”
“Are they crazy? This is something that can’t be done!”
“I checked the data, and previously their current forces were only a few million. Now they want to recruit ten times that number. I bet they won’t meet the requirement.”
After He Xingzhou announced this matter, the entire society was buzzing about it.
The Xuanwu Army also announced that all young and middle-aged people between the ages of eighteen and fifty, regardless of gender, as long as they were healthy, were eligible to sign up.
If they were special talents, they could even be specially recruited, regardless of age or physical condition.
People could sign up at any Xuanwu Plan city institution point, or they could apply online for interviews.
Registration would open in a day.
In a certain city, retired veterans like Feng Yang, Shen Li, and others gathered once again.
“Brothers, what did I say? The country needs us now!” Feng Yang said excitedly, “I’m going to sign up! I want to go back!”
“Me too!” Over the past few months, Shen Li had lost dozens of pounds of fat, something he had never achieved before.
He shouted, “If I don’t go back, I’d be living this life for nothing. I want to fight the Zerg fiercely!”
“We all want to go!” The gathered comrades clenched their fists, “The country is finally calling us. We’ve been waiting for this day for over a decade!”
“If there’s a war, we will return, it’s time to fulfill our promise!”
In a certain company, the boss, Lin Wei, was holding a meeting.
“You all must be aware of the message Dr. He announced, to recruit thirty million more!” Lin Wei said, “This is when the country needs us, and I plan to enlist!”
After he spoke, the employees all looked at him. Although their company wasn’t a well-known enterprise, it was doing well and had no problem growing and expanding.
“As the boss, I should be responsible for the whole company and shouldn’t abandon it,” Lin Wei stated, “but if everyone only cared about their own matters, would we still be able to have meetings here today?”
“Probably, it would be a bunch of bugs having a meeting now!”
“I’ve decided to leave the company matters to Vice President Wei Yue. I’ll register for the military tomorrow!”
Normally, if the boss suddenly announced they were quitting, the employees would surely cause a stir.
But at this moment, no one opposed it.
An employee shouted, “Mr. Lin, I support you! Don’t worry, we’ll manage the company well!”
Someone else asked, “Mr. Lin, I also want to go with you. Is that possible?”
“Of course, it is!” Lin Wei affirmed, “Anyone willing to enlist will receive three months’ salary from the company, allowing you to settle family matters, and five million worth of company shares! My ability is limited, but this is all I can do!”
“Mr. Lin, I want to go too. In this era, without a strong military, everything is empty talk!” Another employee stood up, speaking with determination. Everyone looked at him — he was Cao Yiming, famously idle in the company, usually fond of slacking, yet now he had such courage!
Lin Wei looked at Cao Yiming and found his eyes full of vigor, as if a flame were burning inside, completely different from his usual lazy and laid-back self!
Cao Yiming explained, “I admit I’ve usually been coasting at work because I felt working for capitalists was meaningless, but this time it’s for the country, and I’ll give it my all!”
Lin Wei wasn’t a bit surprised, he nodded, “Good, we’re together in this!”
He continued to announce, “Anyone decided, prepare to hand over your work and family responsibilities immediately. I’ll expedite your salary through the finance department, and tomorrow morning, we’ll sign up and enlist together!”
