Self-discipline! Have You Ever Seen Marin Vando at Four in the Morning?

　　In their minds, they still clearly remembered what the lieutenant general told them.

　　Suddenly,

　　they feel,

　　on your shoulders,

　　A heavy one.

　　It's so strange...

　　There was clearly nothing on his shoulders.

Chapter 88

　　Boom! !

　　In the distance, on the horizon, the sound of violent artillery fire continued to be heard, as if deafening.

　　But throughout the military academy,

　　But it was so quiet that the needles fell.

　　Everyone seems to be unable to hear the screams and explosions of the distant battlefield.

　　He bowed his head silently.

　　For nothing else,

　　Perhaps these people present just want to take a few seconds out of this tragic and magnificent war to pay the highest respect to this admiral who was born in an ordinary but died a great admiral.

　　Looking at that ordinary dark face, the soft smile that freezes on his face, the picture in front of him seems to have been forgotten there, or - it was placed in the wrong place.

　　If it wasn't for saving himself, this mighty lieutenant general probably wouldn't have died here, right?

　　All the military academies couldn't help but flash such thoughts in their minds.

　　then,

　　Deep self-blame and guilt quickly filled their hearts.

　　Like a jack, it was pressing down on their hearts.

　　"You've actually done a good job."

　　Zefa raised his hand to dry the moisture in his eyes, and suddenly smiled and comforted Roy and the others.

　　The cadets were stunned and looked at Zefa subconsciously.

　　A warm and free smile appeared on the latter's face.

　　"This is justice."

　　"You are still young, and you may not understand yet."

　　"But the old man believes that one day you will understand."

　　"This is the philosophy and will that those damn pirates will never understand in their lifetime."

　　"They will never understand why a strong man should die for the weak;"

　　"They simply don't understand why those in high positions should protect weak civilians;"

　　"They only know how to plunder, and they think they are powerful but they are incomparably inferior. In fact, they are just a bunch of bullying garbage."

　　He looked down at the Vice Admiral who died smiling, and continued softly:

　　"He practiced his inner justice and completed the task perfectly."

　　"He was a great soldier."

　　"The old man is very proud to be able to teach such students."

　　"You don't have to blame yourself too much."

　　"Because this is my duty as a soldier!"

　　"—But Teacher Zefa..." The ghost spider suddenly raised his head and asked blankly,

　　"Is it worth it?"

　　"Just to save our group of weak bastards!?"

　　Zefa smiled.

　　Smile freely and freely.

　　"worth?"

　　"Justice is not asking if it's worth it."

　　"The old man has persevered like this for so many years, but he never dared to be rude."

　　"Is it worth the sacrifice of a powerful navy to protect civilians?"

　　"What's the point of questioning that?"

　　"It doesn't matter whether it's worth it or not, it needs to be asked in your heart."

　　Tina asked with red eyes:

　　"What about you? Teacher Zefa..."

　　"Why are you holding on?"

　　Zefa raised his hand and rubbed Tina's head, and said gently:

　　"Because the old man knows the purpose of his life in this life."

　　"Because the civilians need me, because the navy needs me, because justice needs me..."

　　"They probably don't know what I've done, just as the rest of the world doesn't know how many navies died here in this war..."

　　"They won't know, and the old man doesn't need them to know."

　　"The old man just needs to know that they are protected by the old man."

　　"As you are protected by him."

···············································································································

　　"that's enough."

　　Mole hesitated for a moment, then asked in a deep voice:

　　"But Teacher Zefa, aren't you afraid of death?"

　　Zefa couldn't help laughing.

　　"A man who dies in order to carry out his own beliefs, isn't he handsome?"

　　"Death in battle is the greatest romance of a soldier!"

　　The voice fell,

　　The crowd was instantly moved.

　　"Take your time, little devils, the old man believes in you more than anyone."

　　"You are the future of justice."

　　Zefa said solemnly.

　　then,

.........................................

　　He turned around slowly,

　　His eyes rekindled endless fighting spirit, and he looked at the distant civilian area.

　　In a turbulent civilian area,

　　The screams of countless civilians came from a distance in the continuous explosions.

　　over there,

　　A huge steel giant is destroying everything around him with impunity.

　　Douglas Barrett, that guy was dropped directly into the civilian area by the golden lion!

　　Zefa gritted his teeth,

　　Then he turned back to the cadet and said:

　　"You guys find a place to hide next—"

　　But before he could finish speaking, he was stunned.

　　Because he saw a pair of young eyes full of determination and fighting intent.

　　"Teacher Zefa, we didn't plan to hide."

　　Ghost Spider shook his head.

　　"Yes, we are the Navy too."

　　Huoshaoshan said firmly.

　　The Mole also smiled and said:

　　"Maybe we are still weak now, but the monsters have their fighting methods, and we also have the direction of our efforts..."

　　He couldn't help looking at Roy.

　　The last sentence is the one in the article "On the Meaning of Effort".
