Chapter 1530: The story of the eldest son joining the army (Third update, please subscribe)
"A good man has his ambitions in all directions, how can he miss the love of his children, and feel so sad about it..."
In the military camp, singing was echoing on the radio, but for such a song, the lyrics had long been changed by the soldiers. On the road to the military camp, a group of fully armed soldiers sang and rewritten the lyrics as they approached the finish line. song.
"A good man is obsessed with you and yearns for the fragrance of a girl...
Oh, my girl, my dear girl...
I want to go to the mountains with you, happy and carefree..., oh, my girl..."
This song was a blatant provocation. They had just walked dozens of kilometers of mountain roads under the scorching sun, carrying a 20kg load on their backs. Now they are singing loudly here, and nothing can stop them from singing "Oh, oh, my girl, my girl, come to me quickly..." with their broken throats, and the sound like a broken gong resounds. Standing in the military camp, even an officer would sound proud of this energetic unit and proud to be a member of it.
"Oh. My girl, my beloved girl, I am about to go to the battlefield..."
The singing voice, like a broken gong, echoed in the military camp, even overshadowing the songs played on the radio.
"As I lay in a pool of my own blood, I saw the girl looking at me again, oh, my girl, my beloved girl..."
Listening to the songs sung by the soldiers, Quan Sheng said:
"This song seems a little unlucky..."
"Actually, this is the army!"
Xu Guoyang, who was driving the car, glanced in the rearview mirror, then looked at the exhausted but energetic soldiers, and said to the reserve officers in the car:
"We live towards death and are not afraid of life and death!"
Although the song is full of longing for love and ridicule, the brisk tone and humor are ominous, but on the other hand, facing death is a basic quality that a qualified warrior must possess.
Perhaps because he was too serious, Xu Guoyang then added:
"Let's put it this way, everyone hums like this every day. Once a similar tragedy happens, both the person involved and his comrades will naturally be relatively calm. Well, that's it... Oh, my girl, I will never smell you again. The fragrance..."
Although he had the rank of captain, Xu Guoyang still hummed. When he hummed, the trainees from the university preparatory officer corps in the car also hummed. In the next three months, they Will serve here.
Members of the Reserve Officer Corps serve short-term service in the military during vacations every year. After graduating from college in their third or fourth year, they only need to serve for one to two more years before they can retire.
This is also the advantage of reserve officers. However, not everyone has the opportunity to join the reserve officer corps.
"My girl..."
While humming this military tune, the girl's appearance appeared in Li Yixuan's mind, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise. Sensing the strangeness in his expression, Xu Guoyang smiled and said:
"Haha, you are smiling so happily, you must be missing your girlfriend!"
"It must be so. Li Yixuan is so handsome. There must be many girls who like him..."
"That's right, our Li Yixuan is the most famous and handsome guy in Dongning University. Can we still have fewer girlfriends?"
Li Yixuan, who did not expect to be the target of ridicule, quickly waved his hand and said:
"Ah... I don't, I really don't have a girlfriend in college."
"Just because it's not available in Dongning, it doesn't mean it's not available elsewhere. Li Yixuan, is it available elsewhere?"
Just as they were asking questions, the car stopped in the parking lot in front of the building. After a group of four people got in the car, each carrying a backpack.
"I will take you to report in a moment, and then take you to the dormitory. The officers' dormitory is a single room."
"Is there air conditioning?"
"Nonsense, if there is no air conditioning, is it still an army? You know, the army was the first to install air conditioning. It is hard enough to fight as a soldier and chew mud in the trenches and rainforests, but you can still endure the hardship in the military camp..."< br>
As Xu Guoli spoke, he led them to the brigade headquarters. As soon as the group arrived in front of the gate, they saw a colonel officer coming out. The five people in the group immediately stood at attention and saluted.
"Hello, sir!"
"Hello!"
When returning the gift, the colonel looked at the four pre-officers and asked:
"The new college preparatory officer? From that university?"
"Yes, sir. I am Xu Guotai, Dongning Higher Business School."
"Sir, I am Feng Zhengming, from Dongning University."
"Sir, I am Zhao Wangjie, from Daxia University."
"Sir, I am Li Yixuan, from Dongning University."
After listening to the reports of the four people, the colonel nodded, then looked at them and said:
"Very good, very energetic. I hope to see your outstanding performance in the next few months."
After that, the colonel saluted with a military salute and left.
Looking at the background of the officer leaving, although he is a middle-aged man, not only can you not see the middle-aged belly, but he is very strong and full of muscles. From the back, his shoulders are even wider than a rifle.
"Commander of the Fifth Mobile Brigade, Colonel Zhang Kun!"
It wasn't until the brigade commander left that Xu Guoli introduced the other party's identity.
"He's been to Bastogne!"
A simple sentence made the expressions of the four young people change, and their expressions were filled with admiration. Bastogne was the first and most brutal battle of the SEA armed forces - they single-handedly saved the entire European battlefield and ensured that the Allied forces would not be driven into the sea again. In a small Belgian town, they One against five, containing multiple attacks by 5 German divisions!
In short, Bastogne is a battle of glory!
It is the kind that will forever be recorded in history. In the combat history museum of almost all armed forces in SEA, whether it is the military history honor room of the army, navy or air force, there will be a trophy made of artillery shells, with the inscription "1944, Barstow" Nirvana.”
Looking at the brigade commander's car going away, Xu Guotai said:
"Oh, what an amazing person. By the way, didn't our training sergeant also go to Bastogne?"
"Yes! He is also an amazing person!"
"Does he walk with a slight limp?"
"Yes, does Mr. Xu know him?"
"I don't know him, but he knows the brigade commander. He and the brigade commander were serving in the same company at the time. His feet were the sequelae of frostbite in Bastogne. His medal was also awarded by Your Excellency personally..."
"What an amazing person!"
Well, this is the military, you never know how amazing the background of a veteran in front of you might be. Soon, Xu Guoli led them to complete the procedures in the building and received the keys to the dormitory.
After a while, they each moved into the officer's dormitory. Like all officer dormitories, it was a single room with an area of about 16 square meters with an independent bathroom, a dormitory-style one-meter-wide small bed, a desk, and a Army wardrobe with white walls without any decoration.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"This is the army..."
Li Yixuan, who was serving in the army for the first time, looked at the simple dormitory and another thought came to his mind.
"Okay, from now on, you will truly become a member of the army!"
……
"Yixuan called me this afternoon!"
In the evening, when she left the study and returned to the bedroom, Margaret, who was sitting on the bed reading a book, said:
"He has arrived at the military camp, Fifth Mobile Brigade."
"Well, I know that the Fifth Mobile Brigade is a mobile force stationed in Dongning."
Li Yian nodded and said:
"It's a very good unit, and Zhang Kun is also a very good officer. Well, he will be promoted to general in two years."
As a father, Li Yi'an certainly knows that his son is serving in the army, but that's it. After all, every man in this land must perform military service. This is the basic principle.
No one is an exception.
"Don't you care about your son?"
Margaret looked at Li Yian and said seriously:
"The army is at war now. I heard that more troops have been sent to Java, right?"
Nodding, Li Yian said casually:
"It's just special operations. Men always have to serve."
Li Yian took off his clothes and said:
"In fact, if the environment does not allow it, I would even hope that all people, including women, would be forced to serve!"
"Woman!"
Margaret opened her eyes slightly and said:
"How dare you think."
"Yes, that is indeed an idea."
Li Yian explained:
"Mary, the reason why I implement universal compulsory military service is not just to establish an effective defense system. More importantly, it is to recast the social structure.
The social structure and collaboration methods of SEA have changed with the national service system. Military life not only cultivates tough character, but also develops a sense of responsibility, obedience and teamwork. ”
Li Yian added:
"Actually, this is what we have always done. At the beginning, all workers had to undergo intensive training, just to change their living and hygiene habits. It took fifteen days to develop a habit, first fifteen days of military training, and then long-term training. After working and living in a collective military camp for more than a year, many habits have been formed. Equality among people, good hygiene, respect for rules, mutual trust and cooperation spirit, and even the entrepreneurial spirit of breaking the old and establishing the new can all be found in it..."
Listening to her husband's explanation, Margaret thought for a while and said:
"This is what you used to call a coming-of-age ceremony... For young people, joining the army is a coming-of-age ceremony for them to enter society."
Li Yian nodded, sat on the bed, and continued:
"Actually, it's not just a coming-of-age ceremony, but also... they need time to think. Soldiers who have just entered the army are confused. At the age of eighteen or nineteen, like their peers all over the world, these young people have not yet been able to understand clearly. Realize what kind of person you are?
What are your strengths and weaknesses? What major do you want to study in the future? What career do you want to pursue?
The 2-3 years of military service gives young people enough time to think about these issues. ”
Leaning against the bedside, Li Yian said:
"On the vast land, under the cold starry sky, soldiers spend more time talking to their own hearts, examining themselves over and over again: What kind of life do I want to have?
These are questions that every generation of young people will think about.
It's just that many times young people don't have the opportunity to stop and think. They are either forced by life or forced by studies, and they choose a path in confusion. ”
This is fully demonstrated in Li Yi'an. As a young man, he had no time to research and think about what kind of major was suitable for him before entering college. Instead, he hurriedly based on the opinions of relatives and friends and his own college entrance examination scores. I was busy filling out a volunteer application, but found out during my studies that it was not suitable for me. In addition, I also had insufficient understanding of society. After joining the work, I will have a strong sense of frustration.
"...These young people serving in the military have done enough research during these 2-3 years and discovered their strengths, interests and professional potential while performing tasks in the military. Then they choose universities and choose Professionalism, in terms of personal growth, is beneficial to their future..."
Li Yian, who was leaning on the bedside, took his wife into his arms and said:
"So, for Yixuan, a career in the army will give him time to think..."
