Chapter 84 The Northwest Wind
The plane was shuttled over the clouds, and almost two hours later, the plane finally fell back to the ground. With the calmness of Long Lie Blood, at this moment, he still felt a dreamlike feeling. He felt that his life trajectory was just the moment he boarded the plane, like the flight route of the plane, passing through the sky, suddenly, flying to a faraway place. This change was so obvious, as if it was right in front of him, and could touch it with one hand. But even such obvious changes that were close to him, he could not stop them, and he could not even do anything. Is all this true? In the dark, it seemed as if there was a pair of huge invisible hands above the ninth level that were manipulating everything in front of him -
If I had not received my father's strict training when I was young...
If you haven't applied for Southwest Associated University...
If you are honest during military training, don’t have conflicts with thunderstorms, don’t offend the vice principal…
If you don't develop the habit of early exercise...
If you have not practiced the "Star Breaking Art"...
There are too many "ifs", but those "ifs" have become history.
When Long Liexue was on the plane, he suddenly thought of Mr. Hu, the Pu'er tea contained in a jade box, the scene when he met Mr. Hu, the words Mr. Hu said, and... the nine-spoke characters written by Mr. Hu and his bets, Long Liexue's heart beat suddenly.
The bumps generated when the plane landed, Long Liexu woke up from the illusory feeling of dreams.
"The place we landed is the airport of the First Airborne Army Base in Yuquan, Longgan Province. The time for receiving the award is tomorrow morning. At that time, several leaders and commanders in the army will come here to secretly participate in your award ceremony. Of course, on the surface, several bosses are visiting the First Airborne Army exercise. Now, I think you should know that this unit is the first established rapid response force of the entire army that has been circulating in the society."
After Sui Yun said this, Long Liexu suddenly remembered the overwhelming reports of various newspapers and media that he saw at school two days ago.
"Didn't the operations against terrorists in the East Turkish region reported in the newspaper a few days ago be carried out by the direct special brigade of this force?"
Sui Yun nodded, and then he smiled, with a little prank.
"Your father is the supreme commander of this unit, and that operation was also commanded by him."
Long Liexue's performance was a bit beyond Sui Yun's expectations. When he heard such news, Long Liexue just smiled faintly, as if he had known it a long time ago.
Sui Yun looked at the calm Long Liexue and felt a little strange. Logically speaking, Long Liexue could not have known such news. He knew Long Han too much. He would not do such unprincipled things. Even if he was a man, he would not ask anything from him.
The plane slowed down. When the image outside the plane window was fixed on a row of camouflaged military transport planes parked outside on the airport, the plane finally stopped, and the engine at the wing stopped rotating. The flight attendant opened the cabin door from outside and stood solemnly. Next to the plane outside, a jeep was parked.
Standing at the door of the plane, before leaving, Long Liexue could already feel the strong air mixed with the strong northwest wind here, cold, dry and fierce. If the climate of MK is like a gentle woman, then here is undoubtedly a man who uses blood as wine. The wind here blows across the grassland and crosses the Gobi Desert, carrying the cold and wind and frost, blows countless northwest men as sharp as a blade.
Standing at the door of the aircraft cabin, Long Liexu was attracted by a mountain range in the distance. In the distance, a mountain range as majestic as a dragon lies south of the sky. Below the hillside of the mountain was a piece of emerald green, and at the top of the mountain was a piece of white snow, like a piece of silver armor, draped over the green dragon.
Sitting in the car, Long Liexu's eyes could not move away from the towering mountains in the distance.
"That's the Qilian Mountains." Sui Yun also looked at the mountains in the distance. In the base of the First Airborne Army, the most loaded trees were jujubes and poplars. The car was on the road, and through the gaps between trees, you could still clearly see the scenery in the distance. "That's the Qilian Mountains where Huo Qubing, the Han Dynasty general, came out of Lintao and passed Yanzhi Mountain to defeat the Huns. The Xiongnu people sang in the song "Destroy my Qilian Mountains, so that my livestock would not survive; lose my Yanzhi Mountains, so that my wife would be colorless."
Long Liexu nodded and looked away from the Qilian Mountains in the distance.
"I did some research on that period of history."
"Oh!" Sui Yun was intrigued by what Long Liexue said, "Let's hear it."
Long Liexu smiled shyly.
"I like to analyze history from the perspective of war. In my opinion, war is the driving force for the development of human history. From the time Qin Shihuang unified the world to before the Opium War, the rise of the Hun Khanate in the north under the leadership of Maodun Shanyu was marked by the rise of the Xiongnu Khan Kingdom in the north for the two thousand years. The foreign troubles in the two thousand years since the zhh Kingdom came almost fixedly from the north. The war between the ruling dynasties of the Central Plains and the northern nomadic peoples was one of the two main lines that dominated the historical development of the zhh Kingdom."
“What is the other main line?”
"It is a war between the ruling dynasty of the Central Plains and the peasant uprising army that rose and fell in the country. The history of all dynasties' change and rise and fall is like a 'wave', rising and falling in the historical channel formed by these two main lines."
Sui Yun savored Long Liexu's words carefully, and then his eyes lit up.
"If you go one step further, in your opinion, the historical channel formed by the two main lines has already limited the 'highs' and 'lowest points' that can be reached by dynasties in history."
"That is true. The Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty and Ming Dynasty were several peaks in the development of feudal dynasties in my country. The Chinese civilization, with the Han people as the main body, has achieved brilliant achievements in these dynasties, but the direct reason for their decline is that when they developed to a higher level, they were restricted by the first main line in the historical channel I just mentioned, and thus fell from a high place, decline, and even destruction. The Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, the Jingkang Incident in the Song Dynasty, and the Tumubao Incident in the Ming Dynasty are all signs of the decline of these dynasties from prosperity. When each dynasty declines and decays to the bottom of the valley, the bottom line of the peasant war channel made it rebound again. It is precisely this rebound that ensures that the Chinese civilization can continue. The demise of the Yuan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty seem to me as a manifestation of this rebound."
Such views and perspectives are very new. Sui Yun had never heard of them before. At this moment, he heard the 18-year-old Long Liexue say them, and he felt a lot of emotion.
"Fierce blood, if you don't enter the army in the future, I dare to bet with your father that you will definitely become an excellent historian in the future and achieve brilliant achievements in the academic world. But if you go to the army, you will have a bigger stage of display. Using a pen to record history is far less exciting than using a knife to create history."
At Sui Yun's instructions, the car they were in stopped smoothly against the roadside.
"You haven't been here yet, so let's get off the bus and take a walk in the base. Anyway, this place is not too far from the destination."
After Sui Yun finished speaking, he opened the car door and got out, and Long Liexue followed him. The two of them walked slowly in the base, and the jeep slowly lagged behind twenty meters behind them.
Compared with the military camp where Long Liexu and his men were training, this base of the First Airborne Army revealed a murderous smell everywhere.
At a T-junction in the base in front, the tires and the ground were screaming Long Liexue and Sui Yun due to violent friction. A team of light wheeled paratroopers assault vehicles "float" from there. The green light paratroopers assault vehicles were filled with soldiers armed in camouflage. The soldiers' faces were painted with black and green oil paints. At first glance, they looked like a group of evil ghosts. On the round guard ring on the roof of the assault vehicle, a 73-type 82mm seatless cannon pointed straight ahead majesticly. The assault vehicles rushed towards the airport when Long Liexue and the others came. Long Liexue, who was walking with Sui Yun, could clearly feel the curious eyes of the soldiers on the car. Whether it was Sui Yun or himself, they were too eye-catching.
"It's a coincidence that the guys who just passed by were from the Special Forces Brigade directly under the First Airborne Army. The First Airborne Army was newly formed and was full of arrogant soldiers and generals. The soldiers in the Special Forces Brigade were all the great men who were so angry that no one could accept it. But when your father came, he had just one day to clean up all of them, causing countless people to break their glasses. If you were you, how would you conquer them?"
Long Liexue smiled.
"It's very simple, there's no need to use any tricks. Just call them all together and then knock them all down."
"Ha...ha..., you really have a father and a son. That's what your father did. He knocked down all the special forces brigades down. This incident was rumored to the entire army at that time, which made these birds dare not look up wherever they went. When they saw your father, they were like a little ghost who saw the King of Hell. A few days ago, your father personally commanded and made a plan to let these guys kill the nests of the East Turkish terrorists in our country and kill the No. 1 bandit leader. These guys became more and more energetic. The First Airborne Army also returned to their hearts and morale was high. Everyone was training like they were desperate. In just a few months, your father had completely tamed the arrogant soldiers and generals in the First Airborne Army. If it were someone else, it would be unimaginable. If someone like your father didn't come to the army, it would be really unreasonable!"
"My father is born a soldier born for the army!"
"Yes, your father is born a soldier." At this point, Sui Yun stopped, and Long Liexue also stopped. Sui Yun pointed his finger to one side of the sky, and Long Liexue also stopped. As Sui Yun looked at the blue and almost pure sky, there were white clouds floating in the sky. Two planes were flying through the sky. White umbrella flowers were like white clouds, scattered by the plane. They were originally a vague seed, but in an instant they turned into a white cloud, floating in the sky. Sui Yun's voice revealed a kind of heroic spirit at this time, "This great northwest has produced a brigade of the strong army since ancient times, and is a place where the country is a battleground. It is also a stage where countless great men in China have served the country, made achievements, and decisive for thousands of years!"
For some reason, at that moment, Long Liexue was a little confused.
Wang Hui, Wei Qing, Gongsun Ao, Gongsun He, Li Guang, Su Jian, Huo Qubing, Zhang Qian, Su Wu, Li Ling, Han Yannian, Li Guangli, Han Shuo, Zhao Ponu, Fu Jiezi, Chang Hui, Feng Fengshi, Zheng Ji, Chen Tang, Dou Gu, Geng Bing, Dou Xian, Deng Hong, Geng Kui, Ren Shang... Let us remember their names, and those unknown and forgotten heroes. Although it has been a thousand years, it is these national martyrs who leaped on horses and swung their swords to determine the world, the wisdom of uniting with their own wisdom, and their courage to sacrifice their lives and their loyalty to the descendants of Yan and Huang forever, and we will always remember such a belief in our hearts--
Those who violate our China power will be punished even if they are far away, and those who are long will be punished!
When Long Liexue followed Sui Yun to the place where he lived tonight, it was already past six o'clock in the evening. Long Liexue was arranged in the officer dormitory of the First Airborne Army on the third floor. I don't know if it was a coincidence. Behind Long Liexue's dormitory, facing Qilian Mountains, there was a reservoir not far away. The reservoir showed a dark blue color under the reflection of the sky, like a piece of jade. Between Long Liexue's dormitory and reservoir, except for a few grasslands and roads, there were several rows of neatly loaded green poplars. The leaves of the green poplars turned yellow, but they also looked even taller.
Every grass and tree here reveals a clean and refreshing taste, and Long Liexue has a good impression of this place.
Sui Yun told him that the reservoir was built by Long Han when he came. The water was attracted by a river formed by melting ice and snow on the Qilian Mountains. Most of the rivers flowed away in vain in previous years. Once the reservoir was repaired, many problems in the First Airborne Force Base were solved immediately.
Along the way, on the road, you can see trained soldiers walking on the road shouting neat and loud slogans or passing by various combat vehicles. A huge base is full of murderous intent, like a war machine.
"How is it? Are you satisfied with living here?" Sui Yun walked around Long Liexu's room. "Although this room is not big, there is no TV, and you can't take a hot bath, being able to live in a house alone is the best treatment for single officers here!"
"I think this place is very good." Long Liexu smiled and opened the window. "Looking at the scenery outside, you can't see it even in many domestic five-star hotels."
"I discovered another common point between you father and son, and you will have fun in suffering! Haha...ha..."
The knock on the door sounded.
"Come in!"
A captain walked in with a big box. He saluted Sui Yun first, and returned a military salute to Sui. The captain immediately put the box on the bed in the room and went out.
"Liexue, open it and take a look!"
Long Liexu opened the box as he said, and looked at the things in the big box. Long Liexu felt mixed feelings. The big box was separated into many spaces of different sizes. In those different spaces, it was equipped with a set of military uniforms, coats, pants, tie, tie cards, shirts, socks, leather shoes, belts...
"Try put it on. This set of army officer dresses are customized for you from head to toe in a special factory according to your figure. To be honest, I am a little jealous of you. I haven't enjoyed this kind of treatment yet, ha...ha... your father originally wanted to see what you looked like when you put on a military uniform for the first time, but because of the exercise, he no longer has time to see you today."
Long Liexu changed the army officer's dress. Until now, he was still dressed casually. He just walked from the barracks and didn't know how many curious eyes he attracted.
This set of army officers' dress is better than the usual clothes that Long Liexue usually sees. It is Western style, with a collar, a crossed collar with a double sword, a pointed butt, a square hem, brown and green, two under-cut bags, a bagless cover, and the material is mixed with hair. The craftsmanship is very exquisite. The sleeves and trousers of the uniform are flossed in the middle of the sleeves and trousers. The white shirt and tie are navy blue.
After putting on that army dress, tied a tie, put on a big brimmed hat of the dress, and put on a black plain-headed cowhide leather shoes. Long Liexue, who stood in front of the mirror in the room, almost didn't recognize himself. Long Liexue's appearance in military uniform also made Sui Yun stunned. The person who exuded a strong texture like steel in his heroic martial arts and showed a seven-point glacier-like indifference in his handsomeness? Long Liexue's temperament can no longer be expressed through imitation. Sui Yun sighed, walked forward, took out the hard epaulette with a yellow-bottomed white star from the box, and put the lieutenant's epaulette on Long Liexue's shoulder.
"If you walk on the street like this, the rate of return is definitely 100%. Looking at you young people, I really envious. People of our age are not good. No matter what clothes they wear, it is the same. But look at you, this military uniform is just like a specially designed for you. Chinese people in Chinese have to make movies to advertise for recruitment, and we probably just need to post photos of you wearing different military dresses to the newspaper. It seems that you, like your father, are born for the army!"
Sui Yun took a few steps back, looked at Long Liexue carefully, and sighed again. The young man in front of him could break the three disciplines in the army tomorrow. The youngest recipient of the Republican Imperial Guard Medal in history, the youngest school-level officer, and one. Compared with other majors with red eyebrows and green eyes, the title of the most handsome major would probably fall on him. I really didn't expect that Long Han looked like a stone, so how could he give birth to a son and have the same characteristics as jade?
"Now, before letting you learn the confidentiality regulations of the Ministry of Home Affairs and Security, I want to teach you one last thing, Lieutenant Long Lie Blood, as a soldier, you must master the etiquette of the soldier."
Sui Yun saluted Long Liexue seriously.
When Long Liexue was wearing military uniform for the first time, pointing at Sui Yun's fingertips solemnly with his right hand on his eyebrows, suddenly, he began to understand why his father loved the army so much!
Chapter completed!
