Chapter 1145: Ten Years of Hero's Return
A C17 Globemaster heavy transport aircraft painted with the American flag took off from Area 51 of Nevada and flew thousands of miles away to the capital of China.
At the same time, Ye Fan contacted Lu Qingyu and them in Europe and urged them to return to China as soon as possible.
Twelve hours later, the group arrived in Huaxia and landed steadily at a military airfield on the outskirts of the capital.
"It's here, national style. Yang Bihui took her husband's hand and reminded him softly.
"Oh......" Although the expression on Ye Guofeng's face did not fluctuate, his gaze showed hesitation.
The hometown is even more timid, after so many years, he has never set foot on this land, and now, he is back......
"Old man, look below, so many people welcome you, this treatment is not ordinary!" Ye Fan smiled and pointed out the window.
Ye Guofeng had already seen the dense figures beside the runway, it was the people who came to pick up the airport, he didn't know the identities of these people, and he didn't want to guess.
"Hmm. Ye Guofeng responded lightly, and suddenly remembered something, "I'll just wear this to see people?"
He still wore a hospital gown from the isolation room in the first district, which was indeed a bit undignified.
"Then what do you want to wear?'s suit?" Ye Fan asked with a smile.
Ye Guofeng shook his head: "It's best to have a military uniform, an old-fashioned military uniform, or civilian clothes." ”
"No problem, wait for me for two minutes. Ye Fan suddenly disappeared into the cabin.
Yang Bihui took Ye Guofeng's hand and comforted him softly: "Wait a minute, son, this kid has the most ways." ”
"Hmm. Ye Guofeng closed his eyelids, he needed to calm down.
The plane was still taxiing, Sui Tang and Cruyff had unbuckled their seat belts and were about to pack up in the first-class military cabin, and there were more than a dozen scientists of different skin colors in the business class at the back of the cabin, all of whom were their research assistants and work partners.
"That's it. Without waiting for the plane to stop, Ye Fan carried a coat bag and appeared in front of his father and mother again.
Taking the pocket, Ye Guofeng opened it and looked at it, and immediately said in surprise: "Where did you find it?"
This is the old military uniform that Ye Guofeng wants to wear, the grass-green old military casual clothes, without a military rank, such clothes are probably only treasured in the wardrobe by those veterans who came over during the war years, and they are no longer available on the market.
"Hengdian, how much you want. Ye Fan smiled: "Hurry up and put it on." ”
Yang Bihui pulled Ye Guofeng, got up and went to change clothes next door, this luxury military transport plane, all the facilities that a five-star hotel should have, their flight this night, and the treatment of staying in a hotel is almost the same.
After a while, Ye Guofeng walked out in a military uniform, his posture was still upright, his face was still young, almost the same as when he went to the battlefield, his hair was also shaved off, and he put on a military hat, which made his temperament even more resolute and calm. The only difference was that the sleeve of his right arm was empty......
"It's time to get off the plane, Guofeng. Yang Bihui reminded softly, everyone was waiting for him.
"Okay!" Ye Guofeng calmed down, pressed the hatch button with his own hands, and poked his head down.
Just as he opened the cabin door and was about to take the first step, a loud military music suddenly played on the airport apron!
Ye Guofeng hesitated, and in Yang Bihui's encouraging eyes, he slowly stepped down the first step of the gangway.
With the familiar military song march echoing in his ears, Ye Guofeng stood above the gangway, looked into the distance with his deep eyes, slowly raised his left arm, turned sideways to the south, and saluted!
A military salute twenty years late, as if all the burden had been lifted, he strode down the gangway and walked with his head held high to the crowd that picked up the plane.
Yang Bihui hurriedly followed with his bag, and behind him, Sui Tang, Cruyff and others rushed down, but Ye Fan was missing.
"Coming, coming, he's coming!" There was a stirring in the crowd, and two young pioneers wearing red scarves, holding flowers, were the first to greet them.
Ye Guofeng stretched out his left arm, his movements were a little difficult, and he took over two large bouquets of flowers.
The two children saluted him with the Young Pioneers, but he had no hands to return the salute.
Yang Bihui was about to help pick up the flowers, when a team of galloping military vehicles came on the runway in the distance, and the rumbling engine sound drowned out the military music at the scene.
Several officers in the pick-up team turned their heads when they heard the sound, and one of them waved his hand to stop the performance of the military band, and everyone looked back one after another, not knowing which military leader was coming.
Yang Bihui took the flowers for her husband, and the two slowly walked across the red carpet.
The train convoy stopped on the sidelines, and from the first three cars, three old men in uniform walked down!
These three old men, all sixty years old, walked in the front, with a square face, a high nose bridge, and a majestic face, it was the number one in the military department, General Wan Changhe!
The second is also the rank of general, with a bearded face, a pair of tiger eyes that want to eat people at all times, and he walks like a tiger, like a moving fortress, this person's prestige is well-known in the world's military forest, the god of the army, and has a long way to go!
The third is not wearing a standard military uniform, he can't see the size of his rank, and he is wearing a green tunic, but the senior officers who are familiar with the inside of the military department know that this giant is General Fu Dongfang, who has the nickname of the whole army's military division!
The arrival of the three giants together is really a rare spectacle!
Everyone stood in solemnity, and the soldiers saluted the three in unison.
"Hello Chief!" a loud greeting echoed in the sky.
Wan Changhe waved his hand, led all the high-ranking officials of the military department, walked straight to Ye Guofeng, raised his hand and saluted him!
The military god and Fu Dongfang also established at the same time and treated each other with military salutes.
The three giants lined up the typeface, paid the highest respect to Ye Guofeng, and stood there for half a minute.
Ye Guofeng didn't return the military salute to them, he just calmly looked at these unfamiliar faces in front of him, looking at the faces of the soldiers in front of him, and his eyes were always calm as usual.
Wan Changhe stretched out his right hand, wanted to shake hands with him, and said, "Welcome back, Comrade Ye Guofeng!"
A smile appeared on Ye Guofeng's face, but that smile was full of vicissitudes, suffering and relief, he shook his empty right arm, passed by Wan Changhe and the others, and walked forward directly.
The Big Three looked at each other, a little incomprehensible and a little embarrassed.
"National style!" Yang Bihui hurriedly caught up.
"What to see, if you want to shake hands, pay attention to which hand to use first!" Ye Fan appeared beside Wan Changhe.
Wan Changhe suddenly slapped his head suddenly, "Look at my head!"
Fu Dongfang sighed, walked to Lao Wan's side, stood side by side with him, and sighed: "This is a real soldier, honor and disgrace are not shocked, and he does not ask for anything in return." ”
Ren Zhongyuan straightened the brim of his hat, turned around and stood solemnly, and roared in a heroic voice like a bell:
"The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years! Twenty years in Cao Ying, his heart was in Han, the heroes were enthusiastic, they lived up to their families, the country and the people, and the soldiers of the republic, all of them, stand upright - salute!"
"Salute!" "Salute!"
A shout rushed straight into the sky, shaking the sky of the entire airport, and countless eyes saluted Ye Guofeng with incomparable admiration and respect!
His firm steps, tall body, empty sleeves, and lonely back are engraved in a pair of young eyes and will last forever.
Fate was like a fierce beast in front of him, biting him, gnawing him, and trampling on him mercilessly, but he was like an immortal bird, reborn in Nirvana, ushering in a new course of life.
He bathed in the sun, leaving only the indomitable brilliance and the dazzling old military uniform......
