Chapter 261: Wish the veterans a safe journey! [Please subscribe! Please give me a monthly ticket!]
The camp is made of iron and the soldiers are flowing water.
The end of November is the day for military rank promotions and also the day for veterans to retire.
All military personnel, after their first year of service, can be collectively referred to as "veterans."
From the chief of wheat ears to the private in the second year, without exception, they are all highly versatile.
Because it is an honorable title.
This also gives the word "veteran" too much unusual and very heavy meaning.
The sign that a recruit becomes a veteran is not that his quality meets the requirements, nor that he has enough years of service.
But learn to adapt to separation.
Before changing to the "two crutches", you have to send away the squad leader who has been training himself hard but always takes the responsibility for himself when something goes wrong.
There were also officers who always smiled and smoothed things over, and from time to time they paid out of their own pockets to prepare some drinks and barbecue to reward the new recruits and the veteran officers.
After they left, no one would protect the new recruits from the wind and rain.
In the future, you will need to learn to face everything you encounter in your military career on your own.
No one would quietly call a recruit out of bed and go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, secretly hand him a cigarette, and gently ask him if he missed home.
It seems to have started from the moment he changed into the "two-crutch military rank".
The concept of "homesickness" disappeared from these veterans who were new recruits just a second ago.
Because they are veterans.
It is to bring a new batch of former “selves” and the growing veterans.
So they must learn to take responsibility and not miss home.
Essentially speaking, the growth history of every soldier is a "history of farewell" filled with tears.
When you are a veteran, send the veterans off.
When you are promoted to non-commissioned officer, see your comrades off.
Those who left said goodbye to the army and headed for a new life.
Those who stayed behind, through this separation, gained higher and higher military ranks and continued to grow.
Understand it from a different perspective.
It is precisely because of the departure of these people that the people who stayed behind have grown.
And now, this kind of separation that would take a year to dilute has suddenly erupted on Zhao Weihong.
Zhao Weihong not only had to witness with his own eyes the veterans, squad leaders, and cadres who had supported him all the way leave the army.
At the same time, we have to say goodbye to the comrades who we once lived with day and night.
Zhao Weihong is very good.
Almost everyone in the 347th Regiment knew him.
But precisely because of this, the "shock" that Zhao Weihong was enduring at this moment was far more ferocious than that of other people.
"Boom!"
Zhao Weihong stumbled forward two steps and glanced at the queues standing like a forest on both sides of the road.
Reason told Zhao Weihong.
He should now be standing on both sides of the road like other remaining members, sending off the veterans with military salutes and gazes.
But Zhao Weihong was reluctant to take a step forward.
Because Zhao Weihong knew that as long as she was still standing here.
The veterans who stopped because of him can stay in the 347th Regiment’s base for a while longer.
On the way back to the base, Zhao Weihong was eager to go home, afraid to miss the moment of farewell.
But when he returned to the base, Zhao Weihong hoped that the moment of departure would come later.
The later the better.
He even wanted to complain.
why?
Why did so many people want to leave, but no one was willing to tell Zhao Weihong?
Especially Shi Jidong and Fang Haoran, and even all the veterans, had a faint smile on their faces at this moment.
This made Zhao Weihong feel inexplicably aggrieved.
It was as if the emotions that were constantly surging in his heart due to separation were just his wishful thinking.
"Monitor."
"Hey! Wei Hong is back!"
After a long silence, Zhao Weihong opened his mouth with some difficulty, as if he wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the sudden enthusiastic greetings from the crowd.
"Our 347th Regiment, now we have everyone included!"
An old squad leader from the fourth company was the first to step out of the crowd and patted Zhao Weihong on the shoulder with a smile.
Zhao Weihong recognized him and even lifted his quilt.
According to the normal script, now should be the time to "take revenge if there is revenge, and take grievances if there are grievances."
However, the old squad leader just looked at Zhao Weihong quietly, his eyes full of admiration for him.
"You can do it, kid!"
"Go out and be a patrol officer of the three armed forces, and you can even be included in the military newspaper!"
"I'm about to leave, and I'm still writing an extra report just for you!"
At this point, the old squad leader of the Fourth Company punched Zhao Weihong's chest hard, rubbed Zhao Weihong's hair which was so short that it couldn't be messed up at all, and continued speaking in a very intimate manner.
"Good job! You are worthy of being the one who dares to lift my blanket! You didn't bring shame to our 347th Regiment!"
"Stay here and work hard. When you become a general in the future, me and my grandson will have something to brag about!"
"remember!"
"No matter what time it is, you can't bring shame to our 347th Regiment!"
He pinched Zhao Weihong's shoulder again.
The old squad leader took the lead, passing Zhao Weihong, and walked towards the military vehicle at the door in a very cool manner.
Followed by.
More and more figures came in front of Zhao Weihong.
"Wei Hong! Do a good job!"
"Wei Hong! You can't forget me!"
"If my son joins the army in the future, I will have to let this uncle take care of him!"
"Wei Hong! Don't be sad!"
"We are retired, not dead!"
"If you really can't bear to leave us, then continue to behave well and appear in the newspapers more often so that we can all see it!"
"This shouldn't be difficult for you, right? Hahaha!"
"Wei Hong.!"
"Weihong" sounded continuously in front of Zhao Weihong, expressing their blessings and expectations.
Figures one after another walked past Zhao Weihong with hurried steps, as if they were afraid that if they stayed with Zhao Weihong for even a moment longer, they would never be willing to leave this camp that was engraved with their youth and dedication.
In this regard.
Zhao Weihong just stood there silently, with her head down, letting the familiar faces pass by her and rush towards a new life.
This is the situation.
It looked like a ceremony.
A ceremony in which all the departing members handed over their reluctance, concern, and obsession, as well as the passion in their hearts called "defending the country" to the silent Zhao Weihong!
They said that they would still pay attention to Zhao Weihong's news after they were discharged from the army, and it was not an empty talk. Because as long as Zhao Weihong, who they gave them such expectations, was still alive.
Then this group of people who left the team did not leave.
gradually.
The figures in front of Zhao Weihong were becoming fewer and fewer.
Upon learning that Zhao Weihong had returned, Chang Dingfang hurried over and looked at Shi Jidong and the others with a complicated expression. They looked at each other as if they had reached a consensus. Finally, Shi Jidong took the lead and walked towards Zhao Weihong.
"Wei Hong."
"Squad leader, why are you leaving too?"
"Don't you still have two years?"
"And Ma Weijie, he is..."
this moment.
Zhao Weihong's originally relatively calm emotions completely spiraled out of control.
The hot tears that had been swirling in the eye sockets for a long time suddenly poured out like a flood.
Seeing this, Shi Jidong looked up at the sky abruptly, put his hand on Zhao Weihong's shoulder, and spoke casually.
"The squad leader is old."
"I've been in the army for more than ten years, and I'm tired."
"It's time to make room for you young people."
"Don't cry! Why are you crying?"
"My soldiers can't be so cowardly!"
"I am going to enjoy life. This is called liberation. Do you understand?"
"You should be happy for me!"
Speak realistically.
Shi Jidong's words were not meant to comfort Zhao Weihong.
The treatment for soldiers these days is already good, and soldiers can be assigned jobs after two years.
And because of the reform, the policies are extraordinarily good.
Even someone like Ma Weijie, who has only served in the army for one year, can be arranged a job according to normal retirement benefits.
Unless the parties strongly request it.
Otherwise, these veterans can basically get a good job and don't have to worry about their future livelihood.
This is also the main reason why veterans always have smiles on their faces.
After all, for them, leaving is just the starting point of their new life.
But in their hearts, are they as free and easy as they appear?
Then only they themselves know.
"Ma Weijie! Come here!"
"Say goodbye to your class vice-chairman! Tell him to stop crying!"
"okay!"
Ma Weijie ran up to her with a grin on his face and said to Zhao Weihong proudly.
"Deputy class leader, let me tell you something!"
"I built a vegetable garden in the breeding team! Who would have thought?"
"I have made a contribution to our group and left a little mark of myself!"
"Maybe when you leave in the future, my vegetable garden will still remain in our group!"
Ma Weijie's tone was very happy.
I was deeply happy that I could do something better than Zhao Weihong.
But as he spoke, the tears on Ma Weijie's face, just like Zhao Weihong's, could not be stopped.
"Wuwu. Deputy Class Leader, I don't want to leave! I really don't want to leave!"
"The vegetable garden has just been built, and I haven't taken you to see it yet."
"I still want to train with you."
"An unsatisfying thing!"
"I asked you to come over and persuade your class deputy, but why are you smeared with cat urine?"
Shi Jidong kicked Ma Weijie while cursing, then dragged him towards the door.
"Wei Hong, don't send me off!"
"Remember what the squad leader told you, stay in the army and do your best!"
"The monitor is proud of you!"
Seeing this, Zhao Weihong wiped away her tears and was about to chase after him.
But behind Zhao Weihong, a calm voice suddenly sounded.
"Wei Hong"
"Chief of Unit."
There was no one beside Fang Haoran at this moment.
As the cadre who led Zhao Weihong onto the path of rectification and had the greatest influence on Zhao Weihong's upright character, he was indeed suitable to end this "ceremony".
"As a military officer, I am honored to meet you at the end of my military career."
"It took me more than ten years to realize it from the idea to the realization."
"And you only took a few minutes, maybe even less."
"Wei Hong, come on, do a good job!"
"You will definitely be a better soldier than any of us!"
"Just stand here, you are not allowed to see me off!"
"If you really can't bear to leave us, then remember what we told you and appear in the newspapers more often!"
"I and all the veterans will keep an eye out for news from you!"
"Maybe it won't be long before I have to send you to military school!"
"Hahaha!"
After simple instructions.
Zhao Weihong stared at the door in a daze, and saw all the veterans already lined up in front of the military vehicle, facing the camp.
Fang Haoran, who was standing at the command position, also issued the last order of his life as a soldier!
"Everyone has it!"
"salute!"
In response.
Chang Dingfang walked up to Zhao Weihong and shouted at the top of his lungs to give his final blessing to all the veterans, no, to the entire 347th Regiment!
"salute!"
"Good luck to the veterans! Bon voyage!"
Sorry, brothers, Dongliu fell asleep and slept for more than ten hours.
I'll finish writing one chapter quickly and go to eat first. There will be another chapter in the afternoon. I'll give you three chapters tomorrow to cheer you up!
The plot of this volume has come to an end, and there is still a big plot, so this volume is about to begin to wrap up!
Dongliu will work hard to update and try to write the plot that everyone wants to see as soon as possible!
