What is a country's deterrent force, to the broadest extent, is comprehensive national strength, weapons and equipment. To put it mildly, it is how many people in a country are willing to contribute silently.

Many people are dismissive of these things, and it is happy to have this disdain, because you have this condition, because someone has created this condition for you to put down the bowl and scold the cook after you are full. When the country is peaceful, the happiest people are the people, and the saddest people are the people in troubled times.

When two people fight, the retracted fist is something that can make the other person vigilant or defensive. In fact, the country is the same, and it must also have a retracted fist. However, for Huaguo back then, it was so difficult for this flexible fist to stretch.

Red Star Farm is located in a Tianshan mountain col, but standing on the spread out military map, you can see that it is on a node, facing west is a foreign country. The left hand frontier is south, the right hand is north, and the back is the Tianshan Mountains of the motherland.

At that time, people built a highway in this place where birds were extinct, and it could only allow ordinary people to pass for three or four months a year. However, this also shortened the distance between the north and the south, and also allowed the automobile artillery of the Lan Military Region to arrive at night. This is an example of how easy to scale.

With the improvement of the country's strength, China's railways have also entered several stans, and highways have been paved all over the country, but this place has not been neglected.

The road to Red Star Farm is not very easy to walk. It's not about going over mountains, but almost all of them are driving along cliffs. It is surrounded by lush primeval forests and snow-capped mountains. Sometimes, when you look out of the car window, you feel like you're walking in mid-air.

"It's so beautiful! You see the goshawk seems to be right at our feet. "Lu Shuyan is really bold, she is still so temperamental on such a dangerous road.

Zhang Fan's eyes stared at the road ahead without turning, fearing that he would accidentally fall into the cliff. Coiling, circling around the Tianshan Mountains ascending and falling. When we were about to reach the snow line, the Red Star Farm arrived.

If the tents and horses on the grassland are free, unrestrained, or the life that petty bourgeoisie loves or envies the most, here is the embodiment of rigidity, old-fashionedness, and silence.

Red Star Farm is a base built against the backdrop of a mountain that is not a military base. The style of the houses in the horizontal and vertical rows is the same.

Gray tiles and white walls, row by row, even the small poplar trees planted are in rows and columns, the roads in the farm are horizontal and four columns, and the front of each house is cleaned up, unlike the usual countryside, where sundries are piled up at the door. The village is quietly erected here.

Section Chief Wang, the leader of the government, went to the grassland, and even if he was not arrogant when he arrived at the county seat, he was somewhat reserved. But when he came here, he sorted out his clothes in advance as if he were a subordinate and a superior.

There was no grand greeting, just around the corner of the col, a lame old man smoking a cigarette pouch, quiet as a dead stake, sitting quietly on a stone by the side of the road, waiting for the medical team.

The wrinkles of the knife and axe, the dark skin, and the increasingly clumsy body with eagle-like eyes.

"It's coming!" The old man spoke with an accent that was obviously from Suzhou and Hangzhou, and the scene at this moment was so weird, as if he had met a retired old man in a park in Suzhou and Hangzhou, but this was not a park, but a border.

"Hello old leader, I am Xiao Wang of the Municipal Party Committee Office. This time I was sent to the countryside, and I was supposed to arrive a few days in advance, but something happened, so I was a few days late. Section Chief Wang explained to the old man in general.

"You too, what a waste. When we got sick, we went to the hospital ourselves, and it wasn't like there was no way, and besides, we had our own hospital. You see, your convoy is not worth it for us to be a little bit of a person. He said that it was not worth it, but the old man still greeted everyone warmly. Shake hands one by one.

"How can it not be worth it, we come too few times, we are not doing our job properly. This is the old head of the Red Star Farm, the head of Chen, the battle hero, who has been received by the No. 1 head of the country!"

", what are you talking about. Besides, can you come to this place frequently? I originally wanted everyone to come to greet you, but the weather became hotter, the snow melted, the war readiness road in the mountains collapsed, and the young people went to dig the soil and move stones.

This Chinese farm is a bit special. Although it is no longer a military organization, its establishment and structure are still a set of military units, with its own public procuratorate and law, and leaders at and above the farm regimental level have military ranks.

In the past few years, the farm has shrunk super much, but then I felt that it was still useful, and I began to pay attention to it. The identity of the farmer is also very special, it is said that it is a soldier, it is not counted, but they have regular military training and weapons warehouses. It's not a matter of saying that they are peasants, because they are still a big collective. I guess they can be regarded as special workers, because they have the word retirement.

People gathered from all over the country are too mixed and there are no special dialect characteristics, except for the small family that continues the accent of their hometown, and the usual communication is Mandarin.

"Let's pack up our clothes, let's go to the martyrs' cemetery first. Section Chief Wang didn't know when he took a bottle of liquor in his hand.

Zhang Fan and the others hurriedly cleaned up, and they were also very surprised, there was a martyr's cemetery here, and they had never heard of it! Commander Chen didn't say anything, smoked his cigarette pouch like a small train, and led the group to limp towards the back mountain of the farm.

There is a marble path in the back mountain, which can only accommodate two people in parallel. Although everyone was curious, they didn't speak, and quietly followed the old leader.

Over the hill, the cemetery that suddenly appeared made everyone jaw-dropping. On a sunny hillside, there are stone monuments, and there are too many of them at a glance to count.

The ground in the cemetery is clean, there are no wreaths or fences, just simple stone tablets, stone tablets made of white rocks, and countless stone tablets with red five-pointed stars.

"More than 3,000 martyrs who have sacrificed their lives for the frontier since the founding of the People's Republic of China are sleeping here. Some of the martyrs died in the skirmishes of that year, and some died for the construction of war-ready roads. Please bow to the martyrs. Section Chief Wang spoke, and after offering liquor, he led everyone to bow three times neatly.

The old regiment leader was like a stone, silently looking at his colleagues or comrades-in-arms lying in the cemetery, holding a cigarette pouch in his hand. The people who originally wanted to see the surrounding scenery also lost their emotions, and the atmosphere suddenly became gloomy.

Combat-ready highways, skirmishes. It's too long away from the modern people in the city, so far away that even Zhang Fan and they don't know it. No, it's just that I don't want too many people to carry it, and there are still people who are sticking to the places they created.

dedicated youth to children and grandchildren, the slogan of the year. Now it seems to be, very. However, some people shouted this so-called slogan and stuck to it, not only one generation, but now it is four generations, this is the hero of Huaguo, the unknown hero, we have a quiet time, just because someone is carrying the weight forward!

"Let's go, just get your mind, it's hard for you to know these things. Let's go! Go to the regimental headquarters and drink some water. The old regiment commander said let's go, let's go, but his eyes looked back from time to time to see those comrades who used to be in the trench and comrades who had fought together.

The station of the Red Star Farm, there are several thousand people. How can I say it here, anyway, it is a pioneer of all kinds of agriculture in the frontier. In those days, if you want to plant or do something, the farm is an experimental field, and only after the results have been achieved will it be implemented in the frontier.

"This is the station of Sanlian, and they are mainly engaged in some breeding, special aquaculture. In recent years, the situation has been getting better and better, and the railways opened by the country have gone abroad. Lao Maozi is stupid and loves to wear animal hair, and the things that were worthless in the past can actually earn foreign exchange!" The old man limped and introduced everyone while walking, and when it came to the proud place, he was smiling, and his toothy mouth was so cute!

"This is the fourth company, engaged in forestry. In the past, trees were cut, but now trees are planted, and if you look at the mountains and forests over there, which side of the hillside is full of economic forests that were planted later. ”

"The regimental headquarters has arrived, everyone please come in. The old man and a group of people stood in front of a large courtyard and said. Zhang Fan and the others took a look at the gate, and the number of a certain unit could still be faintly seen on the gate that had been exposed to the wind and sun for a long time.

The yard is big and all bungalows. There were some people in it, not many of them, and all of them were women.

"Old man, did you receive it? Is it an expert from the city hospital?"

"yes, I got it. The old man said to one of the houses with a red cross.

"Then hurry up and help, there is a pregnant woman waiting to give birth. "Didn't see anyone, just heard voices.

"I'm gynecological, I'll go. Lu Shuyan stepped over the crowd and entered the room. The old man looked at Lu Shuyan and said: "This is the office place, the hospital, the police station, and the school are all here, and there were a lot of people, but because of the collapse of the war-ready highway, the young people were all pulled up." So there are not enough people. ”

"Let's go, I'll take you to clean up the place where you live. ”

"I don't need help here, I'm an anesthesiologist, he's a surgeon. Lao Liu looked at the delivery room and said hesitantly.

"It's okay, she's the third child. The family wants to give birth to a boy, and she has criticized her man many times, and she doesn't listen, and the second child was born in the wilderness, and now it seems that this family planning is not very strict, so she came to the health center. ”

Zhang Fan's accommodation is an old bungalow, which is cleaned up and clean, and the ground is still old-fashioned red bricks.

"You guys have a rest today, don't be in a hurry to work, and when you wait for the leaders of the regiment to go up the mountain, please eat in the cafeteria. I'll go home to see my grandson first. The old man was about to leave.

"It's okay, we're not tired, we can see a doctor now. Section Chief Wang said.

"Nonsense, how can there be a reason to let people work after a day's journey. Let's take a break to scrub and scrub. ”

As the sun sets, the students are out of school as the bell rings in the yard next to them, and the little children who are chirping and chasing each other rush out of the school gate.

Zhang Fan couldn't sleep either, so they looked at the surrounding environment at the door. Suddenly, the little ones who got out of school looked at this group of strangers and surrounded them curiously.

"Are you from the division?" asked a boy with a snot in his mouth.

"No, if you look at the license plate, it's not our division. Another girl with pigtails stepped forward and pointed out his mistake.

"You love to show off!" said the dirty boy who tugged at the little girl's pigtails, and then ran away. Not to be outdone, the little girl reflexively chased after her, but she didn't catch up.

"Wang Suhang's cub, you wait, when Wang Suhang comes home, I will sue!" The little girl loudly threatened the earth boy! The tender voice of the tender shout made Zhang Fan and the others laugh uncontrollably.

"Hehe, it's so naughty, it makes you laugh. I heard that you are doctors in the countryside in the city?" asked a young girl dressed as a teacher.

"Yes, we are the medical team of Chasu City Hospital. Who are you?" After Lu Shuyan helped the pregnant woman give birth, she also stood at the door with Zhang Fan to watch the scenery.

"I'm the principal of Tuanli Primary School, and everyone is going to the highway today, and there are a little fewer people. ”

The frontier has a long sunshine time, and it is more than eight o'clock in the evening before the crowd slowly returns home. The house in the regimental station looks old, but there are a lot of mechanical tools with the people coming back, and they seem to be very new.

Seven or eight large excavators, all kinds of trucks, and some kind of professional construction trucks that are rarely seen in the mainland, look taller than people. When the car arrived at the regiment headquarters, almost all the men and women were covered in dirt. They jumped out of the car and slapped each other with dirt when they dispersed.

"Haha, you are the experts of the city hospital. Welcome, really, those who are looking forward to the stars and the moon have finally looked forward to you, you look at me and start ~~" A sturdy man, after getting out of the car, said to Zhang Fan and them, and the original outstretched hand was retracted and rubbed on his body.

"I'm sorry, I had an operation at the last point, so it's a bit of a delay. I am an officer in the office of the Chasu Municipal Party Committee. ”

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, you can just come. I am the head of the Red Star Cluster, Wang Suhang. This is the secretary of the regiment, this is the deputy head of the regiment, this is the secretary of the regiment headquarters, and this is the director of the Youth League Health Center~~" Captain Zhou introduced his colleagues to everyone.

Where can these people see that they are leaders, one by one they are dressed like small workers on the construction site, they are all as pale as earth monkeys, only the flickering eyes are bright, as bright as the rising star in the sky.

Section Chief Wang also introduced the people on his side, how to say, although one is a city and the other is a regiment, but they are two independent units, each with its own system.

"You have taken it orally, today you finally cleaned up the collapsed road surface, and the regimental canteen specially killed a pig. Go, kill the pig vegetables, and be full. Let's go~!go!" As they spoke, these leaders politely took Zhang Fan and them to the cafeteria.

Zhang Fan They thought that only leaders would eat the small stove in the canteen. As a result, a cafeteria almost the size of the auditorium, with adults and children, the elderly and the young, holding their own lunch boxes, lined up to eat.

The huge canteen is not so noisy. "Let's go, let's go, you're guests, you don't have to queue, there's a small private room here, let's sit inside." ”

Although it is a private room, it is actually a curtain made of silk. The food is nothing special, it is all cabbage vermicelli meat made in a big pot and stove, and it is directly served in a large basin. Because Zhang Fan was a guest, the chef also deliberately served a plate of cold radish, spicy red skin, fried peanuts, cold pork ears, and a scrambled egg.

Although there are not many styles, they are generous and are all large plates. "You're welcome, since you're in the frontier, we're all frontier people, and the rules of the frontier people are to sit and drink, and drink three glasses before eating. Our dishes can't be on the table, but the wine is a long time, and the original grain of our own distillery is not blended, just a word is pure, and it doesn't hurt to drink it. ”

As he spoke, head Wang took out a bottle of liquor without any trademark, although it was liquor, the color of the liquor was slightly yellow, and when he opened the bottle cap, a smell of wine came to the surface, and when he poured it, he seemed to feel a little viscous and a feeling of stringing.

"Come! I respect all the leading experts, you have worked hard and come from afar to send doctors and medicines to our farmers, I thank you for the farmers, I did you at will. Three or two large cups, liquor, just look up and dry it in one sip!"

In the medical team, except for Zhang Fan, who can't drink it, everyone else, including female nurses, can drink a little. "Hey, why doesn't this doctor drink, our place is remote, and the hospitality is a bit simple, but the heart is full of red! Haha!

Zhang Fan clasped his hands together and said apologetically: "Commander Wang, I really can't drink it, otherwise I will definitely drink it, this frontier Moutai is too famous, I smell the taste, my saliva will come down, but I really can't drink it, I don't have this mouthful!"

"Haha, forget it. Eat more, domestic pigs, wild vegetables and grains are served, and you can't buy them in the city. The crowd greeted a few people warmly.

This so-called spicy red skin is actually a dish of pi yazi, green peppers, and tomatoes, and this dish does not have that taste when it leaves the frontier.

The skins here are not particularly spicy, and they are slightly sweet, and the peppers are particularly flavorful because of the long sunshine hours, and the best ones are the sweet tomatoes. It tastes really good when mixed up.

The dishes on this table are average, but this wine is not ordinary. Sanchuan wine cattle are in heaven, but they can't be in the frontier. Whether it's bluebird's beer or Sanchuan's liquor, it's not good in the frontier.

Beer, there is a deadly beer in the frontier, and liquor, this is the old cellar of the frontier farm, which directly monopolizes the frontier. Moreover, this yellowed original brew is said to cost thousands of pounds on the market, and money can't buy it.

The wine is good, Zhang Yanfeng and Liu Yaowen are greedy for a cup, they know this wine too well, good wine. The cadres of the farm are accompanied, the cup is full, the cup is full, and the persuasion words in various ways are really dazzling.

"Dad, my mother said, if you get drunk again, she won't let you enter the house!" The slug, who had just pulled the little girl's braids, also washed his face at this time, and probably went home to let his mother wash it. He pulled back the curtain and came in.

"It's overturned, I can still let her control it, you go and tell her, these are all doctors from the city, but the money is expensive, you have to greet her!

"Haha, Lao Wang is also hard-mouthed, haha!" other familiar cadres teased.

"Hey, it's not easy for women, to catch up with this kind of landslide, to do the same heavy work as men, go home and don't pity a little, in the past. I don't believe that you don't pity your mother-in-law. ”

"Hey, the adults are better, it's just the children, hey, let's drink. ”

"Let the experts laugh, the children in the small place have no rules, don't affect your interest, come and sing a song to you. The field song of our farm. After wiping a handful of wine from his mouth, Captain Wang got up.

"There is only the sound of my piano left on the grassland, and I want to write a letter to a girl from afar, but unfortunately there is no postman to convey my feelings!"

"I'm drunk again, hey!" sighed a woman outside the curtain who was tidying up. However, she did not come in, but went with the child to eat.

Half in the bag. Whether it is the leader of the farm or the doctor, except for Zhang Fan, everyone else is drunk, even Lu Shuyan is drunk, and the wine is even purer.

In Seleng, no matter what, everyone seems to feel like a guest. And in this Red Star, although it was the first time they met, they felt as if they had been friends for many years, as if they were going home. Liu Yaowen pulled Captain Wang to dance ballroom dancing that had long been unpopular.

Elegant, really elegant, this is also a product of the collective life of those years. Lu Shuyan wanted to pull Zhang Fan to drink a glass of wine, Baoyin grabbed the wooden bench, and shouted: Drive, drive, drive! I don't know if I am riding a horse or thinking of playing a game with my boyfriend!

It's not always the collective life on the farm. That is, because these days we have to do heavy work together. Only in this way do we eat in groups, and on weekdays, each family usually eats by itself. Or when it comes to the New Year's holidays, everyone gets together for a get-together.

In normal times, each company has its own industry. Although they are on the border, they have become self-reliant, and some industries are very famous.

For example, wineries, for example, large farms, for example, special planting, it is like the seeds brought down from heaven by the gods, and some of them are given to the farm. Anyway, it's a militarized management here, and a lot of special plantings are planted here.

And everything they grow does not go to the market, but is uniformly at the disposal of the state, so they say that they are peasants, and they are not counted.

"Okay! Drink some sour soup, oops!" Zhang Fan's head is big, and the drunk person is really slimy and unreasonable. Zhang Fan's sweat came out of Lu Shuyan's body.

"Don't drink, hurry! Let's dance. ”

"Hey! No more, I've turned myself upside down!" Zhang Fan's threat drifted like the wind over the Red Star Farm. Scattered in the sky where heroes rest!
