The White Dragon Gaiden (2): The Beginning of It All
Probably, that was when I was a kid......
Like all children in the army, the first person to know is not the parents or the guards, and the first words to learn are not 'eat' and 'sleep' but 'stand upright' and 'take a break', but at best, the repetition of hearing is too high, so I should learn it first.
My parents worked in the army every day, and often did not come home for several months, and only on New Year's Day could I see my parents ... But the poor aunt and Aunt Liangyin didn't make trouble for themselves or take themselves around to play, and their lives were lively, but sure enough, their dependence on their parents still couldn't be suppressed, then again, this 'see' was on TV or in reality, which can only be estimated by looking at the busyness of military affairs that year.
The aunts have also been saying that the two of them who can't stop even if the war ends are really worrying.
By the time I was ten years old, I was already used to this kind of life, and I was even ready to live like this forever...... Until one day, he suddenly accepted an invitation from the military department...... Father's invitation to the parade.
Rather than accepting it, it is better to come to Maizuru Port with all kinds of complicated feelings, this is one of the largest ports I know, but it is also the closest port to myself, and it is here that my father started and finally ended the war, of course, this is all for later.
It was the first time I saw my father and mother at work, and it was also the first time I saw KANMUS in reality.
Dressed in a pure white military uniform, with countless medals pinned to his chest, his long silver hair tied into a lock, the federal military insignia on his military cap shining brightly, and his pale blue half-shoulder cloak straddled his shoulders, his father, who was surrounded by enthusiastic cheers, had a very different feeling from the middle-aged uncle who usually didn't slip away.
"Combined Fleet, pull anchor and set sail!"
Accompanied by the intimidation of orders, tens of thousands of tons of steel warships lined up in a neat queue and drove in front of the port one after another, accompanied by the humming of carrier-based aircraft that covered the sky and the sun, just looking at the picture made people cry.
This is different from the documentaries I saw in the school, the KANMUS who fought against those things and their admirals, the guardians of the human race, can only feel the smoke and deterrence of the gunpowder in their faces when they are there in person, as long as they have participated in the parade, they will not doubt the power of human beings and the possibility of human beings.
The palms of his hands were red, and his voice was hoarse, and he inherited his mother's appearance so that he could be easily recognized.
LOOK, THAT'S THE KANMUS KID! ’
I used to be extremely troubled, but after I really saw my mother's heroic appearance, I began to see this sentence as an affirmation of myself. It's not something to worry about...... It's a glory, a testament to how Mother has fought until now.
Or just the idea of a ten-year-old child, the glory of parents really takes itself captive.
In the next exhibition match, my father personally commanded the combined fleet to fight, and played the opponent in the palm of his hand with excellent tactical means, while my mother was even more one-to-many, and the most pressure on the ship's mother. The carrier-based planes flying freely in the sky seemed to be given life, completely suppressing the opponent's aircraft carriers, and constantly harassing the opponent's cruisers and battleships with torpedo planes and bombers, and won the exhibition match beautifully.
"Excuse me!! Your child is also studying at the Naval Academy, do you have any plans to train her as a KANMUS? ”
"May I ask where is the military department's [Five-Year Plan]? Will your daughter be a member of the Five-Year Plan? ”
"Little friend, what do you think of your mother? Is there anything you would like to say to your mother that she won the exhibition match in a landslide? ”
……
It was the first time I had faced so many questions, and the questions were surprisingly varied. Ask your parents if they are on good terms, ask about your family expenses, ask about your studies, and even try to ask your mother or father about the lace news from your mouth.
Jokingly, I was really stunned at that time.
This is also the first time that I know what a striking position my parents' so-called 'general' status is, even if it is only their blood relatives, I have to bear these honors and responsibilities with them, and the so-called [living forever separated from my parents] is impossible...... I am the daughter of those two people, which is destined for myself...... It's also a guy with a lot of combat blood......
It sounds like a high-sounding thing, but at that time, it was probably the moment when I awakened the quality of KANMUS.
Surrounded by reporters, he was rescued by the gendarmerie under his mother......
When he was taken to his mother's ship with a disgraced face, he looked at his mother, who was wearing a ship suit that was almost taller and heavier than himself, with her back to her and looking at the sunset in the distance...... I always felt that something was wrong, and the father on the side seemed to have used up his serious expression, sitting in the commander's seat like a deflated ball, looking at his mother in the sunset and smirking, as if it was a habit.
When I was only ten years old, I was taller than my mother. But compared to what his mother carried, he was nothing......
I heard that in the era of war, countless young and qualified girls gave up their human identity, put on steel uniforms, and operated tens of millions of tons of steel monsters to fight against enemies who were also monsters.
MY FATHER ONCE SAID THAT THE STARS IN THE SKY ARE THE HEROIC SOULS OF KANMUS, ALTHOUGH IT MUST BE THAT WEN QING IS SICK AGAIN, BUT HE HAS NEVER DOUBTED IT, THERE IS NO SACRIFICE OF HIS PREDECESSORS, AND THERE IS NO PEACEFUL AND PEACEFUL LIFE FOR HIMSELF.
'Since we came into this world, we have never thought about leaving alive, we can't decide how we came to this world, but we can decide how to die'......
This is part of a pre-war mobilization speech in my mother's diary, and I didn't know the meaning of this sentence at the time, but after that parade, I felt that I probably understood, and I ...... What kind of mentality did my mother have survived on that cruel battlefield to this day......
"Scared? Long? ”
The mother took her hand and closed the hatch of the bridge after dismissing the gendarmes, although it was a rare family reunion, and it was in the setting sun, the atmosphere was a little indescribable.
"Every time it comes to a time like this, it feels extra scary......"
The mother was the first to speak, and as if to break the atmosphere, she threw a smile at herself, rubbing her palms, although they were small hands, but they unexpectedly had a sense of warmth and strength.
"Huh? Does mom have something to be afraid of? ”
Because the scene just passed was too shocking, it was hard for me to imagine what such a powerful mother would be afraid of.
"Of course, no matter how strong people are, they have weaknesses, the sky is no longer an aircraft carrier when it gets dark, and the dim sight is very dangerous for the take-off and landing of aircraft, for a period of time, the night is no different from 'death' for the air carrier, although there are a lot of improvements after the installation of a new night combat type, but every time at this time I wonder if I have done it well enough, and everyone who fights at night will be very hard? What exactly will happen to the battle ahead of the fleet? ”
And the silent father seems to have regained a little spirit, compared to the spirit of KANMUS and the hull to share physical strength, the father is to command the combined fleet with all his energy to fight, mental fatigue is inevitable.
"Although I said don't worry too much, but liking to worry is also a serious manifestation of your mother, after all, I am the most proud of KANMUS, KANMUS is a very hard existence."
The father staggered to his feet, moved his body, walked to his side, and patted his head with his hand.
“…… KANMUS, IT'S REALLY HARD......"
The words I repeated, the company of my parents, the sea breeze blowing in through the window of the bridge, and the evening breeze was not cold, but it made people feel a little warm.
"yes, but ......"
Pulling up the hair of the sea breeze, the mother who was still called 'Dafeng' pointed out the city in the distance to herself, and the city shimmered in the night as night fell, and the cars on the road also turned on their headlights, and the light flowed in the city, in stark contrast to the shadows of the countless dark warships in the harbor......
"Whenever you look at the city when you walk on the beach, you feel like 'It's great to be KAMUS, and it's an honor to join this team.'"
As if feeling a little embarrassed, the mother, who scratched her cheek and grinned, glanced at her father while watching the city with the lights on.
The little hand smaller than himself covered his head, overlapping his father's palm, like a big umbrella to protect himself, and when he looked down, he could see his mother's unique eyes on him, which were similar to looking at the city, but completely different.
[It's really good to be KANMUS because I have the power to protect you]
Through my mother's hand, I can feel my mother's feelings, probably ...... It was then that I really had my dream.
[I want to be a better KANMUS...... than my mother]
It sounds simple, but when it comes to getting serious, it's a desperate desire.
MOTHER IS KNOWN AS THE PINNACLE OF KANMUS, THE HERO WHO ENDED THE WAR, PIONEERED SEVERAL AIR COMBAT TACTICS, AND IS THE LONGEST-SERVING GROUP OF KANMUS...... If you want to surpass your mother, you can't even think of what you want to say.
However, just by remembering the smile of the sunset, you can feel the power welling up from the depths of your heart.
At that time, I was probably convinced that my quality was awakened at that moment.
Looking at the sky in the distance, which had completely darkened, I told my mother this at the time, and I still remember the slightly surprised expressions of my father and mother.
"Mom! Father! I want to be a KANMUS...... KANMUS who is stronger than mom! ”
"KANMUS, IT'S HARD."
The mother gently soothed herself, her expression gradually softened from surprise, and the father seemed relieved, and now that he thought about it, it seemed that he had already prepared for his choice.
"It's okay!!"
Stand in front of your mother in a very standard upright posture, the standard posture learned from the guards because of boredom comes into play at this point. Obviously, he is taller than his mother, but at any time, he can feel endless power from his mother's petite body......
"I can too, be a force to protect my mother!! Someday, I'll be strong enough to join the Combined Fleet and escort my mom!! ”
In the darkness, the corners of Dafeng's mouth curled slightly, for her, this is her daughter's whim, whether she makes up her mind, for her choice, there is no need to hinder, because this is the child's choice.
It's better to say that it's the same as the agreement between myself and Locat when I was pregnant.
'IF IT'S A BOY, YOU WILL BE TRAINED TO BE A FIRST-CLASS ADMIRAL, AND IF YOU ARE A GIRL, LET HER BECOME A KANMUS LIKE YOU. ’
Although the two changed their minds after the child was born, the child lived freely, but this is actually not bad.
But only when you really want to protect something, why do you fight, face yourself, and then make a choice, can you become as strong as you imagined yourself, this is the understanding you have gained from fighting so far, and is it up to you to temporarily replace the person your daughter wants to protect?
"Don't worry, she'll do it."
Lokat smiled and hugged Dafeng into his arms, grinning as he spoke.
"She is our child, with you and me in her veins, and I believe she will soon understand why we fight."
Although I didn't understand the conversation between my father and mother at the time, I even waited until a few years after I became KANMUS and met that guy.
Only then did I understand the meaning of my mother's smile and my father's expectant gaze.
This is where the story begins.
This is the beginning of everything, the legend of courage and love that unfolds again in the future time and space, from the intertwined past and present.
