Chapter 3: Young People's Choices (3)

The son is back, and the once strained relationship between the husband and wife has also been eased. At least Wei Ze and Qi Hongyi didn't want their son to see the once high-pressure relationship between the two of them. As soon as he lived in a house, he was about to speak, and the content of what he said naturally fell on his son Wei Rui.

"Wei Rui wants to go to North America." Wei Ze pondered for a while before saying to Qi Hongyi. Speaking of this, Wei Ze thought of another thing. After the large-scale peace talks with the British, this stage of armed westward expansion has come to an end. Weeser didn't expect to see the day in his lifetime when he would dominate the world. If it wants to plan for global domination and world domination in the future, the United States must be finished. If the United States is to be finished, it will need a world war. Until then, the conflict between China and the United States will continue for a long time.

Listening to Wei Ze's words, Qi Hongyi couldn't help but tremble. After a while, Qi Hongyi sat up and asked, "Is he going to fight again?" ”

Listening to the nervousness in Qi Hongyi's voice, Wei Ze's heart softened, "You are his mother, if you want to persuade him, I won't stop it." ”

Listening to her husband's approval, Qi Hongyi did not answer immediately. The other three college-educated sons and daughters of Wei Ze's family are now engaged in technical work, and Li Yifang's eldest son, Wei Kun, is engaged in metallurgy. Qi Hongyi knew that Wei Ze had been privately pointing out some technical directions to Wei Kun, who was in graduate school. Wei Kun was able to make a name for himself in the university's metallurgical department and was recognized as a promising young specialist.

The other two children followed a similar route, one studying agriculture and the other studying medicine. Qi Hongyi's second son, Wei Zhen, is participating in malaria treatment and malaria prevention and control work with his school tutor during the summer vacation.

Qi Hongyi is a professor in the Department of History, and she knows history very well. From the point of view of happiness alone, the mother naturally hopes that her son will not risk his life. The problem is that the position of emperor has never been a comfortable position. None of the four beams and eight pillars under Wei Ze is not a human spirit, as the founding generation of the country, these guys from mud legs do not lack firmness in their bones, let alone real ruthlessness. Since Wei Ze refused to kill the heroes, he used retirement to solve the problem. The new selection system would only elect those who had performed well to take power.

Imperial power looks powerful, but in fact it is also a very fragile thing. The emperor who holds the power is more fragile than anyone else, and if the feudal system becomes a system, the imperial power will be weakened at a very rapid rate.

"Will the battle be big?" Qi Hongyi finally asked.

Wei Ze judged from these words that his wife didn't want to stop Wei Rui from continuing to be a soldier, which surprised him. However, it is difficult to say how the Yankees behaved, because the people in the Midwest and Far West of the United States were brave and fierce, and small-scale wars were inevitable. As for whether there will be a full-scale war with millions of troops, Weeser is not very sure now. During the Civil War, the United States was capable of breaking out a bloody war of one million people, and now the United States is even more capable of organizing a million-strong army.

"It's hard to talk about war after it's fought. Before the war, there must be mines, iron and steel enterprises, weapons that can be made, railways, and grain-producing areas. These things can't be done in the short term. "That's all Wei Ze can say.

Qi Hongyi finally lay back on the bed, although she didn't speak, Wei Ze could feel that his wife was not asleep at all. But Wei Ze was tired enough, thinking about several things, and Wei Ze fell asleep unconsciously.

Wei Rui wanted to reflect on his father's education, but he didn't expect to fall asleep in bed. For the next two days, he spent the next two days doing housework at home and taking a break. On the third day, on the day of the agreed gathering of the soldiers in Nanjing, Lieutenant Qi Rui changed into civilian clothes and went to the agreed place.

The city of Nanjing has become more and more lively, and the soldiers have nothing to spend money on weekdays, and these people obviously do not rely on their salary subsidies at home. Lieutenant Qi Rui didn't dare to invite someone to his house for dinner, and the others probably had the same idea. When introducing each other, everyone only said which military school they graduated from and which unit they served in. A few are not short of money, and they don't have hobbies such as going to the theater. Everyone simply went to a restaurant and booked an upstairs private room. Eat and drink as soon as you order the food.

When you drink wine, you talk a lot, and naturally you talk about things in the army. Who are the commanders of the various units, including things like promotions. Later, I talked about the future development. Everyone is in the army, Ceylon is very important to the navy, and of course everyone doesn't want to go back to that hellish place. The South China Sea is now peaceful, and according to the situation in the past few years, the military regions in the South China Sea will also be dismantled and merged. The only countries that really have a chance to fight are Africa and North America.

When it comes to war, these young people who have experienced war are not simplistic. The battle for Ceylon was actually a naval affair, and Africa was also a naval affair in a sense. The only thing that can really show the strength of the Army is North America. The United States wants to cross the Pacific Ocean to go to war with China, and their navy cannot support such a war. But the fact that China is at war in North America with the United States, which has experience in large corps, excites these young soldiers.

"If it's an all-out war, then you'll have to fall next." Lieutenant Li Shaokang made such a judgment.

"Will the Americans threaten us with an all-out war?" Second Lieutenant Zhou Shun didn't believe too much in this. The Chinese army is very confident in its own strength, and the British can still fight, but in everyone's impression, the Americans are not as good as the British.

"Without a full-scale war, the Americans will not take advantage. They built a lot of railroads, and we don't have a decent rail network in North America. If there is really an all-out war, the Americans will be able to drive us into the mountains by virtue of their superiority in troops. Without a full-scale war, a small fight on the border is useless. "Lieutenant Li Shaokang's argument is also based on the fact that the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army surpasses that of the United States.

Lieutenant Qi Rui listened to everyone's evaluation, and he couldn't help but say: "Lieutenant Li, when you say this, it's like we must go to war with the Yankees." ”

Lieutenant Li Shaokang ate a crystal shrimp, and then said: "I just heard that we have a conflict with the Americans on the border, and the Americans have suffered a lot. If it were our China, this one must be recovered. It is impossible to suffer this loss, and as a result, it will shrink back. ”

Lieutenant Qi Rui was a little unimpressed by this, "War is a continuation of politics, and every time we fight, the goal is very clear. What is the United States fighting this war for? In order to fight with China for a long time, will it not be possible? Or do they want to take land from us? Or are the people below them messing around and then fighting the war like this? ”

In this way, everyone thinks it makes sense. If the United States wants to drive China out of North America, it can only be said that the Americans really have a kind of thing. A country with a population of less than 50 million wants to challenge a country with a population of 700 million, and China has killed the United States with a pile of people.

Several young soldiers who have absolute confidence in the strength of the Chinese military believe that a full-scale war is unlikely, and everyone talks in more general terms. For example, if those departments are better, if you go to North America, you can be promoted faster. After all, the argument that you can go to North America and move up the next level is too attractive.

Recently, there has been a rush to North America for gold in Japan, and it is said that the area is rich in gold despite its harsh natural conditions. Just find a river, and you can dig gold out of the gravel by the river. In various rumors, there is also an unknown so-and-so, who found a gold nugget the size of a dog's head in XXX, where the location is unknown. There is even a theory that the gold rush convoy stopped to rest, and the effort of soaking and peeing found a large gold nugget on the side of the road.

North America has been blown like a continent made of gold, and many people in China have taken the initiative to immigrate to North America. Young men are such incorrigible animals, even if they think this statement is too evil, but everyone can't help but joke that if they go to North America to serve, they will have to pee a few more bubbles on the side of the road, and they can't be sure which bubble will pour gold nuggets. When you get rich, you have to go home to buy a house and land and marry a beautiful wife.

Hu Xingzhi was obviously more drunk, he used chopsticks to tilt the table, and said in a low voice: "When I get rich, I need two bowls of noodles, one bowl of noodles and one bowl of soup......"

In recent years, more and more newspapers have been published, and some newspapers with private investment and circulation are not as serious as official newspapers in terms of serious content. If it is low, it means that it is easy to produce, and if it is interesting, it is said that it is enjoyable. The vast majority of the content swirls up and disappears very quickly. However, there is also the rise of books such as "Story Club" that really take the light-hearted and witty route. This "Rhapsody of Fortune" is one of the more outstanding works, and it is quite popular among urban people. And Hu Xingzhi pretended to have a lumpenproletarian expression, and recited this "Rhapsody of Fortune" in a subdued voice, which was very suitable for the golden tide he was talking about. Everyone was amused and laughed, and they were very happy.

After the fifteen days of family leave at home, Lieutenant Qi Rui set off for the station. Before leaving, Lieutenant Qi Rui officially told his parents that he wanted to serve in North America. His father, Wesser, sighed and didn't say much. His mother didn't say anything with red eyes. This made Lieutenant Qi Rui regret a little, would this make his parents too worried.

But when he got on the boat, and the ship sailed out of the Yangtze River and into the sea, Lieutenant Qi Rui felt that the world was very big, and it was really necessary to take a walk.

Back at the station, Lieutenant Qi Rui was quickly interviewed by the Personnel Department, who asked him if he had any plans to go to North America. Lieutenant Qi Rui felt that this was a bit surprising, in the original idea, this would be something that would wait until next year's assessment. He didn't expect the troops to start pushing this matter in such a hurry.

In response to the inquiry from the personnel department, Lieutenant Qi Rui of course replied that he was willing to go. When Lieutenant Qi Rui and Lieutenant Hu Xing talked about this matter privately, Lieutenant Hu Xing told Lieutenant Qi Rui a shocking news. The Liberation Army is ready to disarm.

"Disarmament?" Lieutenant Qi Rui couldn't understand this question for the time being. Although he made peace with the British, he now thinks about disarmament.

"Yes, Army disarmament." Lieutenant Hu Xing said, "I heard that the army unit will be cut to 2 million. Elite troops are to be sent to North America. I also signed up to go to North America, if I can't catch up with this wave, I won't have this good opportunity in the future. ”
