The farewell ceremony was presided over by a vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, and there were 10 generals at or above the rank of major general alone, which was very grand and a comfort to the special combat personnel present, letting everyone know that the Central Military Commission attached great importance to them.

It also means to encourage morale.

After the farewell ceremony, the military appointed four major generals to be divided into four teams as the leaders of the farewell team, and even sent four lieutenant colonels to be responsible for holding the ashes, but in the end, these four lieutenant colonels became entourage, and the ashes of the four special combat team members were held by Zhao Chen and Feng Shanlin.

Speaking of Fengshanlin, according to the regulations, the special combat team was not allowed to participate in this kind of farewell to teammates, because it might expose the identity of the sacrificed comrades-in-arms and bring danger to their families.

But this time, because Zhou Hong agreed to Zhao Chen to accompany him, Zheng Liangyu and Feng Shanlin also asked their superiors for instructions, and they were finally agreed.

When they arrived at the airport, the four teams separated, Zhao Chen and Zheng Liangyu together, and a major general in charge of a special combat team member of the Siberian Tigers, the strength of the Siberian Tigers is the weakest of the four special operations groups, this time two team members were sacrificed, one of whom was personally responsible for Feng Shanlin, and this one was in charge of Zhao Chen.

Along the way, the atmosphere was very depressing, and the major general in charge had always wanted to chat with Zhao Chen and get closer, but Zhao Chen had a calm face all the way, which made him want to open his mouth several times, and finally swallowed the words back.

Even on the road, he, the person in charge, had to ask Zhao Chen first what he did.

Because although he is a major general, Zhao Chen is a lieutenant general, even Zheng Liangyu has made meritorious contributions one after another during this period of time, and now he is also a major general, coupled with the great power of the special combat team, he, a major general, is not enough to look at in front of the two.

Therefore, he has been depressed in his heart.

Several people got off the plane, sat in the car for half a day, and finally came to a small city where the special combat team member was, and several people went directly to the local armed forces department, which had already received a notice from their superiors, but when they saw several people in this line, they were also shocked.

The county-level armed forces minister is only a colonel, but in this line, there are three generals, one is still a lieutenant general, and the most unbelievable thing for the armed forces minister is that there is a lieutenant general and that female major general who are outrageously young, and even his son is more than two.

"General Sun, those two are the young masters and young ladies of their family, they are wearing the military uniforms of their elders and coming along, there will be no problems." Taking advantage of the fact that Zhao Chen and Zheng Liangyu were not paying attention, the Minister of Armed Forces quietly asked the responsible Major General surnamed Sun, with concern in his tone.

Major General Sun was stunned suddenly, and then asked curiously, "How do you know that they are wearing the military uniforms of their elders?" ”

"Do you still need to ask, how old are they, less than thirty years old, how can they become major generals and lieutenant generals, this is not in line with the regulations at all, and now is not wartime." The Minister of Armed Forces said: "The only possibility is that they are wearing the military uniforms of their elders to show their majesty. ”

The corners of the major general's mouth twitched twice, and said, "Okay, you can put them in the military uniforms of the elders to show off their majesty, but you must not provoke them, otherwise you will bear the consequences." ”

"General Sun, don't worry, they will be the second generation again, but there are still some abilities in the family, how can I be stupid enough to cause trouble for them." The Minister of Armed Forces smiled and said curiously: "General Sun, who is this sacrificial comrade-in-arms, why do you want to send it back in person?" ”

The major general personally saw him off, which in the army only a few generals have treatment, although the minister of armed forces is only a colonel, but he is in charge of everything related to the local army, in his memory, there are no soldiers in this county who have reached the rank of general.

As if seeing the doubts of the Minister of Armed Forces, Major General Sun said: "Cheng Cheng is just a colonel, but he immediately made great contributions to the country, so the military appointed me to send him back." ”

"I see." The Minister of Armed Forces nodded, although he was puzzled about how there was one more colonel in this county in addition to him, but he didn't ask again, and even he was still wondering, since this Cheng Cheng had made great contributions to the country, why he was not buried in the Martyrs' Forest Garden, but was sent back.

For this problem, of course, it is Cheng Cheng's own choice, there is a habit in the special combat team, everyone will make a suicide note very early, although this is very unlucky in the eyes of ordinary people, but the special combat team members don't care.

And the most important point in the suicide note is where they return after death, every special combat team is a person who has made great contributions to the country immediately, they can naturally be buried in the martyr's garden, but because of the particularity of their profession, even if they are placed in the martyr's garden, they will not carve their great achievements on the monument like other martyrs, there will only be a lonely tombstone.

It is precisely because of this that the special combat team members rarely choose to enter the Martyrs' Forest Garden, but choose to go home, although most of them do not even have a body, but the special combat team members will also collect some items they used before their deaths and some clothes and send them home, so that their souls can return to their hometown.

They all listened to the conversation between the Minister of Armed Forces and Major General Zhao Chen, and when they heard the Minister of Armed Forces say that they were wearing the military uniforms of their elders and posing majesticly outside, both of them were speechless.

However, because of the particularity of their status, they did not say anything, and they were not in the mood to correct it at this time.

In fact, for Zhao Chen and the others, they prefer to wear civilian clothes, it's not that they don't like military uniforms, but that military uniforms are too eye-catching, and the special combat team members are not stars, they don't need attention, they prefer to be low-key.

But sending comrades-in-arms home and wearing military uniforms means respect and solemnity, and comrades-in-arms are just the last time, and they can't be sloppy in the slightest.

And next, Zhao Chen also learned some information about Cheng Cheng's family from the Minister of Armed Forces, Cheng Cheng's father is a section-level civil servant, who is a section chief in the Ministry of Agriculture, his mother is a primary school teacher, and there is a younger sister who is studying in college, in addition, there are grandmothers and grandmothers at home.

Because Cheng Cheng's parents are only children, and his grandfather and grandfather both died two years ago, and now the two old people live with Cheng Cheng's parents.

As for Cheng Cheng, he was one year old Chinese New Year's Eve this year, joined the army at the age of eighteen, was selected into the unit directly under the special combat team at the age of twenty, and officially became a special combat team member at the age of twenty-eight.

And after knowing the situation at Cheng Cheng's house, Zhao Chen couldn't help but worry, afraid that the two old men would not be able to stand it after knowing about Cheng Cheng's affairs, and there would be some accidents, after all, the two old men were eighty years old and could not be stimulated.

In the end, Zhao Chen and the others discussed, and the Ministry of Armed Forces appeared and invited Cheng Cheng's parents to the Ministry of Armed Forces.
