Old Man Liu put down the teacup. His thoughts seemed to have traveled to a faraway place all of a sudden. When this old man thought about things, he would always feel a little long. But inadvertently, he was looking forward to it very much. It was as if he could see the golden color of the tea in the middle of it.
"In 1978, our country had just been established. It was still the post-war era. We believed in the Great Leader and materialism. At that time, we did a lot of stupid things, but it was all for the sake of a new country and a new life … "
Old Man Liu suddenly said slowly. His words brought back a train of memories, which made people go back to the era when the frontier was still in turmoil. "At that time, the Long Formation had just been established. I responded to the call of the country and was the first group of people to enter the Long Formation. Do you know? At that time, how many people in the country could enter the Long Formation? "
Old Man Liu suddenly smiled calmly and looked at Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "I don't know how many people there were, but in my impression, the Long Formation of every generation needs to be reorganized. The next generation of the Long Formation will never know the identity of the previous generation, including the number of people. "
Old Man Liu nodded and said, "Yes, this is indeed an old habit of the Long Formation. But now it's a long time ago, and I can also tell you. At that time, there were a total of 15 people in our country, and we entered the Long Formation. Think about it, how many troops did we have at that time? Only 15 people entered the Long Formation? What an honorable thing it was. "
As Old Man Liu spoke, his face lit up with pride. Jiang Cheng could not help but feel the same. When he was chosen to enter the Long Formation, Jiang Cheng was also secretly happy for a long time. Being able to enter the Long Formation meant that he had entered the top military organization in the country.
This was enough to make Jiang Cheng very proud. However, what no one expected was that Old Man Liu was actually the first member of the dragon group in the entire country. Furthermore, with so many troops at the time, only fifteen people were chosen. It could be seen that these fifteen people represented the strongest soldiers in the entire country.
Old Man Liu continued, "At that time, after we entered the Dragon Group. It was a Western-style special forces training, it was also my first time receiving this type of training. There were no rules or arrangements at all. He entered the battlefield directly and laid down in the trenches. You know what? I fought eight years of war and four years in the U.S. Army. For someone like me, what kind of life and death battle haven't I seen? "
Speaking of this, Old Man Liu paused for a moment, and a sad expression appeared on his face. "But do you know? Out of the 15 veterans, how many of us passed the first training? " Hearing Old Man Liu's words, Jiang Cheng was afraid that most of them did not pass. He thought conservatively for a moment and said, "Five people?"
Old Man Liu laughed and said, "At that time, I also hoped that at least five people would pass, right? But do you know what the result was? All of them died. We were ambushed by the other party, and none of us survived. This was just an ordinary tactical teacher, but he killed all of us who were known as military elites!! "
"Shame, that was the most direct shame. The pain we felt from the other party was far less than the pain we felt from the other party. Although we had fought so many wars, we were still backward in front of these advanced countries! Our tactics were 100 years behind, our weapons and equipment were 50 years behind, and even the quality of the soldiers was more than 10 years behind! "
Speaking of this, Old Man Liu could not help but look a little emotional. He patted the table and said, "At that time, we were discouraged, we were sad and painful. We persisted in the war for more than 10 years, but we were still going in circles. It was pure luck that we could defeat the other party! Do you understand how sad I was at that time? After fighting for more than 10 years, in the end, someone came and told you that it was because the other party went easy on you, so you had a chance to win! "
Old Man Liu's words were full of emotion. Jiang Cheng could not help but be moved when he heard this. After enduring so many years of war, the domestic military level was indeed only at the level of a third-rate country. Otherwise, why would we research nuclear weapons? Research aircraft carriers?
It was to catch up with the other countries in terms of military strength. At this time, Old Man Liu touched the corner of his eyes and said with a faint smile, "But at that time, we did not give up. We had an instructor, whose identity I can't reveal to you. Until now, I can still clearly remember every word he said to me. "
"If you are sad, then you have to train hard. When others train once, we train twice. When others train twice, we train four times. When others train 500 times, we train 1,000 times. We have no guns, no cannons, no brains, but we cannot lose to others in terms of quality. When we have guns, cannons, and brains! Then we will directly surpass our opponents. The distance of 1,000 times. "
Old Man Liu's words were vehement and passionate, and his expression was passionate. Back then, China had indeed relied on this passion and positive energy to struggle and survive among the many superpowers. If it weren't for this spiritual force, we would never have reached an era of peace.
"If the first time doesn't work, we will train twice. If the second time doesn't work, we will train thrice. Until we succeed, until we become stronger, until we have nothing to fear anymore! Once again, we challenged the foreign tactical instructors. We successfully defeated them, but we were still insulted by the instructor. Because we did not do it 100%. Among the 15 of us, there were still three who could not do it completely! Do you know that we spent two years of effort to accomplish this, but in the end, we still failed. Do you know how painful that feeling was? "
As Old Man Liu spoke, he wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and said, "But that was a battlefield. That was war. We cannot allow even 1% of failure, because if we fail even 1%, it will cause harm to the people who rely on us, and they will not be able to live in peace! If we want our country to prosper, we, as soldiers, must stand on the front line even if our chests are blocked by bullets! "
When Old Man Liu said this, although Jiang Cheng did not seem moved on the surface, his heart was already surging. When he joined the army, it was for the dream of protecting the country. He plunged into the army. However, after so many years, all of his ambitions had yet to be fulfilled, and they had already turned into a clear spring.
"Jiang Cheng, I have said so many things to you today. In fact, I have nothing else to ask for. I just want to share with you the story of how I, Liu Zhenhe, joined the Long Formation. Maybe you don't know, back then, the 15 of us were just like you. We were all unruly and unyielding men. But in the end, after so many years, I only understood one sentence — everything is for the sake of the name. "
At this time, Old Man Liu stood up silently and suddenly bowed to Jiang Cheng. He handed an envelope to Jiang Cheng with both hands. Jiang Cheng's face was silent, but his eyes were already shining. Looking at the envelope in front of him, he tore it without hesitation.
And when three words fell from the envelope — Recall Letter. Even a pure man like Jiang Cheng could not help but burst into tears. After so many years, the Long Formation actually sent a recall letter to Jiang Cheng. The Long Formation, which directly expelled Jiang Cheng from the military court, now recalled Jiang Cheng …
"Heh heh heh? Heh heh heh … What is this? Waste recycling?! "Jiang Cheng's eyes widened. His red eyes were glittering with tears. So many years had passed, and now Jiang Cheng was recalled. Even if Jiang Cheng was willing, would Long Xing and Mino be willing?
Jiang Cheng stood up. Old Man Liu did not speak, but looked down at the table. At this time, Jiang Cheng casually threw the envelope on the table and said, "I won't do this. You find someone else. Once I, Jiang Cheng, make up my mind, I will never turn back. "
After saying this calmly, Jiang Cheng put the envelope on the table. On the recall letter, it was written that Jiang Cheng was needed to come back to support the Long Formation and become the new leader of the second team of the Long Formation. He would lead the team to learn and train. Jiang Cheng did not know why the Long Formation suddenly thought of him.
But Jiang Cheng did not want to pay attention to anything about the Long Formation. He said indifferently, "Next week, I will come to pick up Feldman. I've already rejected you personally. Please don't mention it in front of me. I will not give you any response. "
After saying this, Jiang Cheng strode out of the office. Old Man Liu raised his head silently. Watching Jiang Cheng's back as he left, he sighed helplessly and said, "What a talent. Leaving like this is really the biggest loss for the Long Formation. If the military court did not give such a verdict, he might still be able to come back … "
As Old Man Liu spoke, the unlatched door of a room behind him was slowly pushed open. A soldier had been eavesdropping inside. At this time, he also sighed helplessly and said, "Even if we don't want to do it, we have already done it. Now what else can we do to bring Jiang Cheng back to the Long Formation?"
Old Man Liu shook his head and said, "His character is wild and unruly. No one can force him unless he is willing to do it. Or, it depends on his own choice. If Jiang Cheng's return can bring a new lease of life to the Long Formation, I really hope that all of us old geezers will die. It will not be a pity at all. "
"Haha, you and I are the only ones left from the earliest batch of old geezers. Even if I die, I will still be you. I don't think anyone can bear to die. But as for Jiang Cheng, it really depends on his luck. "After saying this, the two of them watched Jiang Cheng's back as he walked away, feeling more and more regretful.
During this period, Jiang Cheng's outstanding performance had been witnessed by all the senior officers of the Dragon Company. Among them, Old Man Liu and this mysterious man in front of them admired Jiang Cheng the most. It was also because of this that they recalled Jiang Cheng to serve as the instructor of the Long Formation training.
