Chapter 3: Accept the mission(1/2)
Finally someone said those two words. Unfortunately, I am still alive, so I don’t know how to TJ. Here I would like to express my sincerest thanks to the enthusiastic readers who firmly support Steel Gun and believe in Steel Gun. Of course, this time, I stopped for so many days without notifying everyone. It was always my fault, so I can understand the feelings of my friends who scolded people.
Some people say that I always find reasons for not updating, which is a matter of trust. Although I dare not say that I am an extremely responsible writer, at least I have tried my best. As for readers of this book, I don’t have more words. In your eyes, the garbage is my baby. I have spent a lot of energy, sacrificed almost all my spare time, and devoted all my enthusiasm to write. I cherish it very much. This is the so-called "being cherished by yourself". Of course, I am also very happy that at least there are readers who like my book. Your encouragement is a great motivation for me, otherwise I would not have persisted until now. Thank you!
Okay, let’s get back to the point. Whether readers believe it or not, when everyone is enjoying the May Day holiday, Gang Gun is indeed on a business trip, and he cannot use mobile phones and the Internet. I can’t tell you more about the discipline. In short, I’m sorry, I don’t want to stop for so many days at the end stage. To be honest, after I came back, I read my own book for a long time before I found the feeling to continue writing. This experience is very bad...
If I mean, if I open a new book, I must stick to the principle, that is, save manuscripts. Without a certain number of saved manuscripts, I would rather not upload them because my work prevents me from stable updates.
Again, I would like to express my sincere apology to the readers and editors!—
Back at the guesthouse, I hurriedly packed my luggage. At this time, my temporary roommate came in. I still remember his name as Lu Fei. Lu Fei saw that I was packing my luggage and asked:
"Brother, which unit have you decided to go to?"
While tidying up my things, I said without raising my head:
"No, I've taken a few days off, something is wrong..."
Lu Fei suddenly realized, "Oh...I said! Why are my whereabouts gone without a word, you are leaving, haha, at least we are from a batch! Brother, you have taken leave and went out for a happy time. You have to bring some delicious food when you come back! Alas... I don't know how long I will wait!"
He is just a familiar person. I sorted out the things, opened the door, and then turned around and said:
"no problem!"
Then he turned around and left, without saying a word in his heart: "If I have the fate to come back..."
While waiting for the car at the door, I took out my cell phone to report to Mr. Zhong:
"Hey, grandpa, I'm Changfeng!"
"Changfeng! Have you received a secondment letter? Come and report it when you are ready!"
I hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice:
"The order for the secondment was received... but to go to the XX Logistics Base in Xiamen..."
Grandpa was silent for a long time before he spoke:
"What did they do? Let you go as a newcomer... Changfeng, what do you think about it yourself? Are you willing to go? This time there is a certain danger, but I respect your opinion. If you don't want to go, I can let them change."
I said without hesitation: "Grandpa, although I don't know what the mission this time is, I am very honored that my superiors can choose me. I decided to go to Xiamen and call you today to tell you that I can't come to Beijing for the time being..."
Grandpa said, "Okay! I read you right! Changfeng, you go to Xiamen to report... Be careful of everything!"
I said, "I understand, grandpa, please take care of yourself!"
Then I called my parents and Xiaoying. I thought for a long time, but decided to follow the excuse given by my superiors. My parents were easy to say. When I said I would be transferred to the logistics base in Xiamen for a while, they didn't ask much, but just asked me to take good care of myself. I also said that Xiamen is closer to the front line and I should pay attention to safety.
Then I called Xiaoying, and she was very happy to receive my call:
"Changfeng, you're reporting! How about it? It feels good to be an officer!"
I was silent for a moment and said:
"Xiaoying, I...I might want..."
Xiaoying immediately asked nervously, "What's wrong? What do you want?"
I gritted my teeth, made up my heart, and said, "I'm going to work in Xiamen for a while..."
Xiaoying shouted: "Is it going to fight? Changfeng, what are you doing in Xiamen?"
I quickly said, "No, no, it was a logistics base in Xiamen who seconded me to work for a while. Don't think about it..."
Xiaoying asked suspiciously: "What can you do when you go to the logistics base? Changfeng, don't lie to me..."
I quickly smiled and said, "No, I really went to the XX Logistics Base in Xiamen. I also received the order I just received..."
Xiaoying said in dismay: "Oh... OK! Then you can't pick me up at the train station... Changfeng, you promised me that if you have something, please tell me not to hide it from me, okay? I'm so worried about you!"
I said, "Silly girl, don't worry! I won't hide it from you... The car is here, I'm leaving! You have to take care of yourself!"
Xiaoying said, "Okay! Changfeng, you have to take care of yourself!"
I hung up the phone and jumped onto the bus heading to the station. After arriving at the station, I hurriedly bought a ticket to Xiamen. After waiting for a while, I got on the bus.
The bus was speeding on the Fuzhou-Xiamen Expressway, and I closed my eyes and rested. Soon, Xiamen was far away. This city, which was formerly known as Luyu, has been a fortress since ancient times, and Fujian and Taiwan are about to rush. Zheng Chenggong revived Taiwan, which began in Xiamen; Shi Lang's second expedition to Taiwan, and his base camp was also Xiamen; Chiang Kai-shek defeated the isolated island and ordered Tang Enbo to defend Xiamen to death. It can be seen that Xiamen's status is important.
In previous battles, this island, located at 118.0404 east longitude, 24.2646 north latitude, and an area of 118 square kilometers, has both infinite glory and suffered a lot of shame. I remember that in October 1949, Ye Fei Corps used the victory and pointed his sword at Kinmen, and nine thousand warriors were hated on the battlefield with hatred; in 1958, tens of thousands of cannons bombed Kinmen Island, and the whistling artillery shells over the strait demonstrated the bravery of the People's Liberation Army.
Now, the former Southeast Fortress is gathering again, and tens of thousands of PLA commanders and fighters are nervous and waiting for the attack order from their superiors. At this moment, Shadow calls me into Xiamen, which must be related to the tension in the Taiwan Strait this time. However, from the nature of our Shadow, it is unlikely that we will participate in a large-scale landing operation. I don’t know why the summoning was so urgent this time? I was thinking about the matter, and the car has arrived at the station.
I picked up my luggage and walked directly to the station door, stopped a taxi, and headed straight to the XX Logistics Base. I didn't want to appreciate the beautiful scenery along the way, so I sat blankly, not knowing what unpredictable risks would be for me this time, but since I put on this military uniform, it means that my life no longer belongs to me. Perhaps the work of Shadow is more risky, but the nature is the same.
I came to the door of the logistics base and according to the action manual provided by Shadow, I went directly to the Political Department. If I remember correctly, Director Shen of the Political Department was the person I was looking for this time. It was around 3 pm at the afternoon, and there were very few people in the corridor. Following the guidance of the sentry, I went up to the third floor to find the director's office, knocked on the door gently, and shouted:
"Report!"
At this time, a lieutenant officer came to me and saw me knocking on the door, he shouted:
"That student, what are you doing? If you don't understand the rules, you can just come to the office when you report to the office. Why are you knocking on the director's door?"
I glanced at him, ignored him, and continued to knock on the door. At this time, a voice came from the room:
"Please come in!"
I turned the door handle and was about to go in. When the lieutenant saw that I dared to ignore him, he was anxious and came up and grabbed my hand pushing the door, and said angrily:
"You can't hear me! A new cadre is so arrogant. How did he learn it in a military academy?"
I looked at him coldly and said:
"Let go!"
My cold voice made the lieutenant shudder involuntarily. He glared at him and said:
"Yoho! You're pretty awesome! Do you know who I am? Do you still want to be at the base?"
I stopped talking nonsense and pushed him on the chest. He couldn't help but step back several steps. He shouted with a disgrace and rushed towards me. I looked at him coldly, thinking: I don't know how many such officers in the army are, why do I meet so many! Another lesson I don't know!
His fist was raised, and I looked at him disdainfully, just waiting to teach him a lesson. Suddenly I found that his hand, which was raised in the air, stopped. The fierce expression on his face was changing little by little, and finally a flattering smile appeared. This guy changed so quickly!
I saw his eyes passing by me and looking respectfully behind me, I turned around and a burly colonel stood at the door. I carefully identified it. Yes, the high nose bridge, deep eyes, and the most important thing was that a thin scar on the corner of his right eye made me more sure. He was Major General Shen Zixun, code-named "Scorpion" in the shadow. His status in the shadow is higher than Lei Jun, and he is likely to be the commander of this operation.
He glanced at me and asked the lieutenant with anger:
"Which department are you from? It's so quarrels at the door of my office. What a moral character! Are there any image of a soldier?"
The lieutenant said to Shin Zixun in a pleasing manner:
"Director Shen! I just transferred from the XX warehouse below. The organization arranged for me to be an officer in the Political Department... I just saw this student who came to report to knock on your office door, so I told him to report to find a cadre department officer, but he turned a deaf ear, so I taught him a few words."
I sighed in my heart: This inexplicable lieutenant was just transferred from the grassroots level. I didn’t expect that I would learn the style of the agency so quickly. Alas! Nowadays, cadres!
Shin Zixun frowned, and ignored the boring lieutenant. He said to me with a kind look:
"You are Lu Changfeng, are you? Come! Come! Come in and talk!"
Then I turned around and walked into the office. I deliberately smiled at the lieutenant in a slight and looked at him surprised and nervously. I wanted to laugh. I also entered the office, turned around and locked the door, then looked calm, stood at attention in a standard way, and after saluting, I said:
"Comrade Major General! Captain Lu Changfeng is ordered to report!"
Shin Zixun smiled and replied to me with a military salute, saying:
"Haha, welcome! You will soon be Major Lu Changfeng!"
I knew that Shadow would upgrade all the personnel participating in the mission to a higher level before performing major tasks to show encouragement, so I didn't say anything, just stood up and continued to listen.
Shin Zixun stopped and continued:
"You go down and rest for a while. There are still people who haven't arrived. I will assign tasks later when everyone arrives. This time the matter is very important. You must be mentally prepared!"
I shouted, "Yes!"
Shin Zixun walked to the door and shouted:
"Where is the new cadre just now! Come out!"
The lieutenant ran to the door happily and said, "Director Shen, my name is Bao Longtao, just call me Xiao Bao!"
Shen Zixun said with a hush and said, "Take Comrade Lu Changfeng to the guesthouse! Remember to open the best room!"
Bao Longtao glanced at me and said, "Yes!"
Then he turned around and said to me, "Please come with me!"
Seeing that the director was polite to me, his arrogance had long disappeared. I smiled at Shen Zixun, picked up my luggage and followed Bao Longtao. The more I thought about it, the more I felt funny: Bao Longtao - a supporting role, haha, he is really a supporting role, and he also does odd jobs...
At 8 o'clock in the evening, all the staff gathered in a simple room in the guesthouse. When I went in, I found Fu Chun, Zhou Lixiong, Fat Pig King, and two major officers I didn't know. Shen Zixun saw me coming in and said:
"Okay, everyone is here. I'll introduce it to you first. I don't need to say anything about it. Everyone has seen my photos. Haha, I'm Shin Zixun, the commander of this 'Thunder Operation', I believe everyone is well acquainted with this fat pig king!"
The fat pig king made a face to everyone, I smiled at him, and then Shin Zixun said:
"Captain Zhou Lixiong, a member of the shadow group, is good at free fighting and won the national championship before joining the army!"
Zhou Lixiong stood up, saluted everyone a standard military salute, and then sat down. His whole movement was clean and neat, and I said to myself:
"This guy is still the same, serious."
Shin Zixun continued:
"Col. Fu Chun, a group of members of Shadow, is good at using various guns, and the entire army shoots top players."
Fu Chun stood up and saluted everyone, and nodded to me. Everyone was old acquaintances and they met very friendly. Shen Zixun continued to introduce:
To be continued...
