Li Yuanchao chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"When I was facing a living prisoner, my hands trembled, even though he was wearing a mask and couldn't see me. My hands still trembled uncontrollably."

"The first shot missed a vital spot, and he cried out in pain. Seeing him curled up and struggling, I panicked even more."

"Our captain couldn't stand it anymore, so he came over and kicked me, and yelled at me. 'What's your guts? What did you do to him? A quick shot is the only way to respect life!'"

"It's not just me; my comrades are constantly running into trouble, and you can hear the captain roaring at any moment."

"I closed my eyes and calmed myself down for a while, until he became a target in my eyes, before I let him go."

Li Yuanchao squeezed Li Tian's hand.

"Tian Tian, ​​this is the first time I've ever shot at someone. After I shot, I ran to the side and threw up. I vomited everything in my stomach, even bile."

"After we got back to camp, our captain even made us tomato and egg noodles, which was really inhumane."

"Seeing those reddish noodles, I threw up again before even eating them..."

Upon hearing this, Li Tian laughed rather unkindly.

It turns out even my usually imposing father has had such embarrassing moments.

Li Yuanchao chuckled to himself.

It was as if what had just happened was done by someone else, and he was just telling a story.

"However, after that day, the captain shared a lot of heartfelt words with us."

He said he was also in a sorry state back then, and that it was normal to be in a sorry state the first time you fight the enemy. If we were all calm and composed, he would be scared.

He said soldiers fight to defend peace, not to become killing machines.

"Only by having a deep respect for life can we avoid indiscriminately killing innocent people and be able to return to a normal life in the future."

Li Yuanchao met Li Tian's eyes.

"So your reaction at the time was perfectly normal, and because it was normal, we were actually relieved."

Li Tian nodded.

Who isn't afraid of having an oddball or weirdo around them?

If she doesn't react at all, her grandfather will probably have to take her to the hospital for treatment.

Li Tian said jokingly.

"Dad, I thought you were some spoiled brat who thought you were invincible just because you have Grandpa!"

Li Yuanchao's face darkened.

What kind of talk is that!

It cannot be said that he did not rely on his father's background, but his achievements and accomplishments were all earned through hard work and dedication.

"You'll understand when you join the army."

"Your grandfather's and father's names aren't that helpful; you still have to rely on your own fists and feet to make your way in the world."

"Generals all rose from the ranks of common soldiers; the military only recognizes the strong."

"Unless you just want to rely on your family background to find a stable job."

"That's not difficult."

"As for glory and power, don't think about them too much."

Li Tian nodded.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

If you can't handle it, then you deserve to be overwhelmed.

She can still joke with him; my daughter has amazing mental fortitude.

Li Yuanchao continued to express his feelings.

"My dear daughter, everyone's growth experience is unique, but the trials and tribulations that these experiences bring to a person are similar."

"Your willingness to volunteer shows you have a strong sense of justice. You remained calm, brave, and decisive when facing villains—these are all invaluable qualities. Based on these alone, Dad believes you will definitely become an outstanding soldier in the future."

"I don't know how you came to this conclusion, but you definitely have, right?"

Li Tian nodded.

"That guy deserves to die. Even if it happened again, I would still take action."

Li Yuanchao looked at Li Tian with admiration.

"A person should be bold and responsible for their actions, and once they've made up their mind, they shouldn't regret it. If they feel that their initial choice was problematic, they should reflect on it carefully and improve next time. They should never blame themselves or engage in internal conflict."

Even saints make mistakes, let alone ordinary people like us.

"If you really made a mistake, you should find a way to make amends."

Li Tian nodded again.

Li Yuanchao is knowledgeable and experienced; you can't go wrong by listening to his advice.

She remembered it.

Li Yuanchao glanced at Li Tian.

Parents shouldn't just suppress their children, but they also shouldn't just praise them.

Neither of these two extremes can raise a good child.

After affirming Li Tian's abilities, we must also correct her problems.

This is more important.

It is also his educational responsibility as a father.

"Tian Tian, ​​even though you don't regret it, will you still do it if a similar situation arises in the future?"

Li Tian looked up at her father.

What is this supposed to mean?

"Tian Tian, ​​we live in a society governed by the rule of law. Every country has its laws, and every military has its regulations. We cannot disregard the law just to uphold justice."

Whether that person deserves to die or not must be decided by the court; none of us have the right to make a judgment on our own.

Li Tian nodded.

My maternal grandfather, Ji Mingze, said something similar.

She certainly understood the reasoning behind it.

"Dad, what if we let the tiger return to the mountains? Won't it become a major problem sooner or later?"

Li Yuanchao likes children to have their own ideas.

This shows that they put their minds to it.

"On the battlefield, friend and foe are clearly distinguished; just charge forward and crush the enemy."

"But life is much more complicated. Even if you know someone is guilty of heinous crimes, it is difficult to bring them to justice without evidence. Upholding justice is not so easy."

"Even so, in order for the majority of people to live in peace and stability, and to maintain good social order, if everyone wants to be the judge, society will inevitably fall into chaos, and in the end, it will be the general public who will suffer."

As for deeper matters, Li Yuanchao didn't want to discuss them further.

There's no need for that right now.

"Principles must be understood, and one must abide by public morals and customs in life. If one acts and conducts oneself within the framework of rules and regulations, one will not go astray."

Li Tian nodded in agreement.

"but......"

Li Yuanchao leaned closer to Li Tian's ear.

"If anyone wants your life, then he shouldn't live either."

Li Tian picked at her ear.

Could it be that all that talk just now was just nonsense?

Is this last sentence the only golden advice?

Li Yuanchao patted Li Tian's bewildered forehead.

"Be shrewd and don't be the first to kill, but if you sense someone has murderous intent, be decisive and strike first. It's never wrong to protect yourself."

Li Tian stood up, pouting.

"Dad, go outside and get some water to soothe your throat. I will remember your last words and take them as my motto."

Li Yuanchao scratched his head.

I thought back to what I had just said.

That's not wrong.

We don't want our children to go astray, but we're also afraid they'll suffer greatly.

It seems that concern leads to confusion, and I may have rambled on a bit.

Li Yuanchao also stood up and pointed at Li Tian with his hand.

"Understand the spirit, and think thrice before you act."

Li Tian smiled and pushed her father out.

"I will definitely think it over four times, five times, six times, seven times, eight times, and nine times!"

"However, will I become indecisive from now on?"

Li Yuanchao looked at his daughter, who was deliberately causing trouble, and couldn't help but pat her again.

"Understand the spirit, but avoid extreme left-wing or right-wing approaches!"

Seeing her father so angry at her words that he was about to jump up and down, Li Tian was even more amused.

But she felt her father's genuine care.
