Summary: Being under the leadership of the Party is the soul that guides the political direction of the army. Being able to win battles is the core that reflects the fundamental function of the army. Having good work style is the assurance that is related with the army's quality, nature and principle.

We should carry forward the spirit of hard work, practice frugality, oppose waste and extravagancy, properly manage military expenses, and maximize the benefits of national defense expenses.
