Listening to Lin Feng’s eloquent speech, Tang Shengzhi was initially unimpressed; he even felt a desire to laugh. He thought that Lin Feng’s insistence on officers and soldiers being treated as equals—eating the same food, living in the same quarters, and sweeping away the bureaucratic airs of officialdom—was absolutely absurd.
However, by the time Lin Feng reached the end, even Tang Shengzhi could not help but abandon his earlier skepticism. On the contrary, a familiar heat began to surge through his veins, unbidden. Even though he knew this might just be the boastful talk of the man before him, the forceful, resounding conviction in Lin Feng’s voice made him feel a stirring of passion. This was the simple, sincere emotion that only those who grew up on the same soil could share.
"Good! Since you’ve given me your word, I will trust you just this once! As for the National Government, I will grant approval for these special circumstances! Whether the other side recognizes it, however, is not something I can control. If you have the confidence to speak like that, then you had better make sure you survive! I want to see if you truly possess the ability to turn the world upside down. Ha, you even went so far as to say you’d flip the heavens and take out the Japanese Emperor! I’ll be waiting to see it!"
