The time has entered February, and Chinese New Year's Eve has entered the countdown.

The college students in the courtyard who had been on winter vacation have almost disappeared, and even guys like Haizi, who don't live in Beijing, have returned to their hometowns, and the courtyard has suddenly become clean.

Kitajima relied on his poor experience in running the poetry magazine "Today" in the past, and forcibly completed most of the compilation of the first issue of "Tongpao".

Knowing that Govin wanted to make a magazine, not only Wei Jianguo, who was highly educated, was very interested in Shanghai, but Chen Hongjun also tried his best to help.

At this time, although the troops had been separated from the localities, the relationship was still harmonious, and Wei Jianguo and Chen Hongjun pulled tiger skins to make big flags, and the procedures that originally took several months to complete were completed in less than a month.

The issue number of "Tongpao" has already been applied, and now we are waiting for the inaugural issue to be finalized and then handed over to the printing house for printing.

Today, Kitajima officially put the planning of the inaugural issue in front of Govin and asked him to review it.

Speaking of which, there is only one official employee of the editorial department of "Tongpao" who has no base, Bei Dao, like Meng Ke, Shu Ting and others are all helping out for free in their spare time.

The table was full of manuscripts and photographs, all of which Kitajima begged his grandfather and grandmother for favors, and as a new magazine that had not yet been released, there was no source for the manuscript at all.

Govin sat across from Kitajima and looked at the inaugural issue on his desk, feeling that Kitajima's obsession with the job of an editor.

On the big picture, the cover, inscription, and table of contents are all available, and it is obvious that a lot of effort has been put into it.

After the discussion of Beidao and others, "Tongpao" will be a 32-page 80-page magazine, in order to reduce costs, that is, the cover is a color page, and all the rest of the inner pages are ordinary paper.

This was decided after Beidao and Wei Jianguo discussed it for a long time.

Considering that in the future, the readers of the magazine will be mostly veterans and those who are interested in the Foundation, and the spending power of these people themselves will not be too high. In addition, not only can the funds of the foundation not be used for the publication of the magazine, but also a part of the annual fee must be paid to the foundation when the magazine is successfully launched.

Therefore, "Tongpao" magazine must get on the right track as soon as possible and make a profit.

Kitajima is quite confident in this.

On the cover of the inaugural issue of "Fellowship", the word "Fellowship" is like an eagle hook iron painting, and it looks like there is a hint of iron and blood.

There is a little story about the origin of these two words.

At the beginning of its establishment, the veterans foundation has been hung in the hearts of the bigwigs of the major military regions, and if the foundation wants to establish an internal journal, it will naturally have to pass the internal audit of the army, and you must know that the foundation is hung under the banner of the Nanjing Military Region.

When they learned that the Foundation was going to run a publication, several bigwigs of the military region personally greeted the Press and Publication Bureau. One of them, a bigwig who is known for his courage to fight and work in China, even wrote down the two calligraphy words "comrade" with a pen and gave it to the foundation.

This is the fundamental reason why Wei Jianguo and Chen Hongjun were able to give the green light all the way.

And such a banner naturally did not escape the eyes of Kitajima, so the title of "Tongpao" directly quoted the calligraphy of this big man.

Under the word "comrade", there is also a line of slightly smaller font, which reads "How can you say that you have no clothes, and you are in the same robe with your son". This is used to explain the title of the journal, which is only present in the inaugural issue, and will not appear in subsequent issues.

In addition, there is an inscription in front of the table of contents of the inaugural issue, which explains the ins and outs of the magazine and the purpose of its founding. This is available in every issue, and as a nominal journal of the Foundation, it spares no effort to promote the Foundation.

In addition to the title of the journal, the most eye-catching thing on the color cover is the color photo under the title.

This is a frontal photo of a military man!

In the smoke of war, this cold-looking soldier wore a steel helmet on his head, his face was pitch black, black and white, his lips were closed to reveal strength, his eyes were wrapped in a bloodstained bandage, and his long bandage tail was blown by the wind and fluttered behind his head.

His right hand gripped the shaft of his spear hard, his uniform covered in dust and blood, his sleeves rolled up to reveal a bandage around his left wrist.

The wounded, bloodstained, blind soldier is walking firmly towards the camera.

He stepped forward with his front foot, picked up the dirt under his feet, and kicked on the ground with his back foot, although he could no longer see anything, but there was no trace of hesitation of a blind man, and the whole person exuded the cold temperament of a soldier, resolute and vicissitudes.

The image of this photo is actually not clear, with a hint of blurred focus, but this is a blurry photo, because the soldier in the photo has become particularly eye-catching.

Staring at this photo for a long time will make people involuntarily leave tears, will make all those who look at it feel speechless tragic and uncomfortable, and will make people feel the kind of perseverance and ambition that makes people's blood boil.

That's right, this photo is a photo from the documentary called "Bloodstained Style" that Govin watched on CCTV at the beginning.

The author of "Bloodstained Style" is a war correspondent who experienced the Battle of Lao Son firsthand, he took a series of photos on the front line in Vietnam, and after returning to China, he made a war documentary, and also borrowed the song "Bloodstained Style" composed by Gowen.

As the inaugural issue, it was natural to strive for excellence, and Govin asked Kitajima to contact the war correspondent through some friends, wanting to buy a few photos of the veterans from him.

When the war correspondent learned that Kitajima was going to use these photos as the cover of the Veterans Foundation's internal magazine, he didn't hesitate at all, and without saying a word, he took out all the photographs he thought were the best to Kitajima.

When Kitajima said that he would give him a manuscript fee, the war correspondent refused again and again, and then told Kitajima with a hint of respect.

Only when you have experienced the war yourself will you understand that the battlefield in the TV novel is child's play at all, the real battlefield is bloody, flesh and blood are blurred, and the sudden death alone is enough to make people collapse.

But in this situation where death may be faced at any time, the Chinese veterans are talking and laughing, fearless, and courageous!

It's true death!

I also want to do something for those veterans!

If you choose a photo, please pass it on to the Veterans Foundation, which is a tribute and support from ordinary people.

After Bei Dao returned to the courtyard, he relayed the words of this war correspondent to Gowen, and when he finished telling this story emotionally, he also grafted his ideals on this uncertain future "Comrade" for the first time, Bei Dao said: "I must do a good job in this magazine!" ”

"Fellow Robes" was finally selected as the cover.

It's this photo of a soldier with bandages on his eyes!

This cover picture will surely shock every Chinese who sees it at first sight!
