Chapter 8: " I will be the trial case "
Four years after the incident , when Rong Xinghe was 17 , the winds started changing directions in the political and military structures of Country X.
Country X was known for its history , culture , education , knowledge , and many other things.
But one of the biggest strengths that made the world look upto the country was its military.
Although it had amazing military equipments , best commando , brilliant combat , it had one drawback.
It didn't ricruit women as a soldier.
Only men were trained .
Country X was going through a major change because women empowerment was the biggest burning issue .
And being a democratic nation , political parties supported it completely to form a positive image in front of public.
Now, the women all around the country started to fight for their right to serve the army.
They firmly believed that girls had the right to serve the nation as well and not just sit inside home comfortably feeling proud of the strength of their armed forces.
They also wanted to be the ones whom the world was proud upon.
This demand was reasonable , because there were many countries in the world that had female soldiers in their military.
Politicians came forward to support this idea...
But....
.....Military was against it.
The army expected the ' Political topics ' to be kept away from it.
The higher ups of military thought this idea was just making fun of military and that women couldn't sustain through the basic training of a soldier...
This was a very sensitive issue to both the parties...
'Women Empowerment groups' and the 'Military' itself.
The media heated up the issue even more....
For almost a month there was a constant debate everyday on each news channel between a feminist/politician and a military higher-ups/retired soldiers.
The parliament of Country X was filled with these discussions all the time as well.
Then one certain day :
The Military Chief of Country X revealed a statement to media .
This statement shook up the media. The headlines next day were : -
{Military Chief comments , " If any woman undergoes and completes the 5 - year training of country's highest position as Military Chief successfully , he would immediately resign from his position leaving the position to the lady. And the doors to the army would open up for women as well as men there and then. "}
{ " Women to be allowed in the army but on a certain condition" , says the Military Chief }
{ Which one lady would take the future of millions of other women on her shoulder?}
{Is there a chance for women to enter the armed forces ? Keep reading the article to find out. }
{Who will be the TRIAL CASE ? }
This decision seemed to be idiotic , but it was not.
The training of Country X's Military Chief was considered to be the toughest.
The trainee officer for this post was expected to be best with EQ , IQ and personality.
The person was given the training of an Air Force Officer , Navy Officer , Soldier , and a Combat Officer , all at once .
As much as tough it was , it was dangerous or to be precise , life - threatening as well.
Alas !
It was a well calculated decisions by the army
If a woman decided to go for the training , and she failed it , the chances for women to join the Military would end as well.
No woman dared to voice out their names.... They just couldn't take the responsibility.
And they didn't felt it was worth dying.
3 days after the statement was released by the Military Chief , one more statement was declared to the media : -
{ BREAKING NEWS ! ! ! }
{ Former youth singer and heiress of Rong Empire 'Rong Xinghe' takes a BIG decision}
{ The Rong Xinghe looks in the eyes of the Military Chief Zhao ! ! !}
{ SHOCKING ! A 17 -year old shoulders the respinsibility of future of women }
