After learning about the situation, Tang Zelin reflected for a long time and felt that such matters should not be neglected. If all soldiers were to act this way, what would happen if their health collapsed and danger arose?
They are the ones standing on the frontline. If they fall, what will become of the tens of thousands of civilians behind them?
We must not lose the greater for the lesser. Therefore, this matter must be dealt with decisively and that line must be drawn.
Tang Zelin's view was very clear: the army definitely cares about the marital affairs of the common soldiers, but in extraordinary times, such blind concern is not advisable. Civilians naturally receive their rations from the government, and the army has its own system, independent of the other. Besides, the standard in the army has always been set lower than theirs.
