Chapter 483: Brother Mountaineering (14)
When the combat uniform adopted the camouflage mode, the military uniform of the Liberation Army finally appeared in the military uniform. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info or the attributes of military uniforms have also changed a lot. But one thing has not changed for decades, the uniforms of the Liberation Army are the same as those of officers and soldiers, including Generalissimo Wei Ze.
So when hundreds of people lined up in the Great Hall of the People, there was no difference between them just by their clothing. Of course, there is already a difference in the clothing of the army, navy and air force, not in style, but in color. Dark olive green army uniforms, navy uniforms in dark blue, and pure white air force uniforms. Of course, when these soldiers go to the battlefield, they are all in the combat uniforms of all arms.
Qi Rui and a group of major generals stood in a relatively backward position. In front of them, a group of lieutenant generals waited in a line, and in front of the lieutenant general, the white-haired old generals sat in chairs wearing the epaulettes of the lieutenant general. Standing beside Qi Rui is Major General Ma Xiaoming, and like Qi Rui, he will also be promoted to lieutenant general. Unlike Qi Rui, Ma Xiaoming has to stay in Asia for a while, while Qi Rui has to go to North America with other generals who have returned to Asia in advance. The Americans are still unwilling to admit defeat, and although the war between China and the United States has essentially stopped, it has not ended. Of course, this is also quite in line with the military's view of war. Peace is nothing more than a thin jam sandwiched between two thick slices of bread.
"Are the Americans really desperate to attack South America?" Qi Rui asked Ma Xiaoming in a low voice.
"You can't blame the Americans, it's those countries in South America who did it first." Ma Xiaoming recounted his thoughts on the matter.
"This is a sleepy U-turn, but I met someone to send a pillow, right?" Qi Rui was in a relaxed mood. If the Americans were bent on returning to the North American continent, it would naturally cause a little bit of pressure on the Minchao. But the United States turned around and turned to Central and South America, at least until the United States could no longer hold on to it, or it would be completely knocked out of its teeth, and presumably it would no longer have the energy to provoke the Democratic Dynasty.
Ma Xiaoming had just left the battlefield, and he said flatly about talking about military intentions: "The Americans no longer have an industrial base, and now they rely on the little weapons and equipment that those countries supported them before." European countries do not seem to have any intention of supporting this round of US attacks, and God knows how long the US can hold out. ā
"If you don't fight hard while the equipment is available, and when the equipment is damaged, the Americans will really have no hope. It can be seen that there are capable people in these Yankees. Qi Rui took a break for half a year and regained his full interest in the military.
"Humph! A low level of warfare only. Ma Xiaoming still looks like he is excited, and his evaluation is also trying to go in the direction of the end. At this moment, someone shouted, "The Governor is here!" ā
There was a buzz first, as if all the personnel were about to erupt. But these people are generals, they just instinctively stand upright, at most they stand on tiptoe slightly to see more clearly. The active General Ke Gongyu strode up to the microphone of the podium and shouted: "All of them, stand upright!" ā
A kind of lieutenant generals, major generals, and colonels are all upright. The veteran generals in the front row also stood up. In the silence, Wei Ze, who was straight and sleek, walked quickly to the rostrum. Qi Rui watched his father walk onto the podium with a refined pace from afar, and he wanted to see the national emblem on his shoulder. This is the difference between the founders of the Liberation Army and ordinary privates, and only the class badge represents their difference in the army. Qi Rui used all his eyesight, but because the distance was too far, he couldn't see what was on the rank chapter of the rank father.
"Today is a happy day for everyone. We have contributed a lot to the motherland, and the motherland has also recognized our dedication. Let everyone rejoice to their heart's content, and after the joy has passed, guard against arrogance and rashness, and continue to fulfill their duty to defend the country. The defense of the country did not begin today and will not end today. This is a great duty that has been persevered for generations to come. Long live the Motherland, comrade! Wesser's words were concise and to the point, and he didn't make everyone wait.
"Long live the Motherland!" The comrades below responded in unison.
"Long live the Motherland!" Weeser repeated it a second time.
"Long live the Motherland!" The comrades below continued to answer in unison.
"Long live the Motherland!" Without hesitation, Weeser repeated it a third time.
"Long live the Motherland!" The comrades below continued to shout. Although it was only a slogan of less than a minute, Qi Rui felt that he was very moved. Long live the Motherland is a slogan that absolutely does not make any mistakes, and it is a very logical slogan. It is also a slogan that few people shout in informal settings. Once again, I was sure that my allegiance was not to the individual but to the motherland, and indeed made the whole person feel a strong sense of self-identity.
"Please sit down, comrades!" Weeser ordered. Sitting down with a bang, he continued: "Welcome the comrades who have been promoted to general with warm applause!" ā
Those who were promoted to generals were all those old brothers, except for Ke Gongyu, a general who did military research, and the other old brothers retired after replacing them with the general class medal. The new wave of generals is basically between 40 and 50 years old, and most of them have military school experience.
Next are the lieutenant generals between the ages of thirty and forty, and Qi Rui is about the third from the bottom among the lieutenant generals. There are a lot of young talents who have sprung up. After Qi Rui changed to the lieutenant general rank badge, his heart was very unexpectedly calm, and even a little ashamed. He knew very well how much of his contribution as 'one of the pioneers of motorized infantry' was due to the gift of his father Weese. Relying on Qi Rui alone, he must go through a long, long period of hard research to make a breakthrough in this area, and even if he spends a lot of energy, he has not made a breakthrough.
But Qi Rui didn't feel too guilty, because he knew the history of the founding of the Guangfu Army, Qi Rui knew very well the absolute leading role of his father Wei Ze in it. In 1853, Europe used a stinger for more than ten years, and the Manchus were still using arquebuses. Now, about 40 years later, it will take about 10 years or more for Europe to catch up with the Republic of China. Whether it is the founding hero or the current group of peers of the 'Liberated Governor', there is no difference in relying on the Governor of Wei Ze.
Qi Rui participated in the selection committee and had an impression of many names and photos. At present, there are about 800 generals in the entire army of the Liberation Army, and about 100 or so who will leave the army after a year with retirement and other reasons, and more than 600 generals will become the core of the Liberation Army in the future. Qi Rui has met with quite a few of them, and the others have also heard a lot. Thinking that he would also be the one who left the army, rather than the one who stayed in the army and continued to work, Qi Rui felt uncomfortable in his heart.
The bestowal ceremony is a very ritualistic event, in which the will of the individual has no role in it. In the morning, the medal was awarded, and at noon, we had a state banquet together, and Wei Ze shook hands with everyone cordially. Some generals were too emotional, and Qi Rui had long been immune to this.
In the afternoon, everyone was free to move, some generals couldn't wait to rush home, and Qi Rui himself was preparing to go to North America. He didn't need to go to North America in such a hurry, but Qi Rui felt that there was nothing to do to stay in Asia, and it was the same if he left early and late. But before leaving, he went to find his father Wei Ze again, and when there was no one in the house, Qi Rui asked his father a question, "Father, I have a friend ......, I have someone I like very much, and she always says I don't know anything." I don't know what I don't know. And she never told me. Is there any way you can get her to tell me? ā
Wei Ze was stunned for a moment, and after pondering for a moment, he suddenly became happy, "What's that called?" ā
"Chu Xue." Qi Rui plucked up the courage to say the name he loved.
"Yes, yes, yes! Chu Xue. Did you go to Nanjing to meet her the previous paragraph? Weeser continued.
"Yes." Qi Rui wondered how his father knew.
"People just came out to see you, right?" Weser looked at his son with a smile.
"Yes." Qi Rui suspected that his father had sent someone to follow him.
"Chu Xue has already told you, what else do you want to ask?" Wei Ze couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"What did she tell me?" Qi Rui asked weakly. At this moment, he suspected that the investigators sent by his father had eavesdropped on his conversation with Chu Xue.
Wei Ze sighed, Qi Rui is not bad anywhere, but he lacks the spirit of materialism and often shows metaphysical and idealistic tendencies. But his son couldn't ignore it, Wei Ze had to say: "If that girl doesn't like you, why did they come out with you when you asked someone else?" If there's something you don't know, it's probably that you don't know that she loves you, maybe very deeply. ā
No matter what Qi Rui said, it probably wouldn't shock him more than this. Wei Ze shivered when he saw his son, although wearing a long-sleeved military uniform made Wei Ze unable to see Qi Rui's arms, but Qi Rui obviously had goosebumps on his neck. Qi Rui's short hair is even more upside down. Shock, joy, sadness, all kinds of emotions changed like a marquee on Qi Rui's face, making Wei Ze feel a little distressed when he saw it.
After a long while, Qi Rui suddenly retorted strongly to Wei Zelai, "This ...... You must be mistaken. Definitely mistaken. ā
"Humph! Materialism is about seeking truth from facts, and seeking truth from facts probably does not take into account language. I've always felt that language has influenced you too much since I was a child, and of course I don't blame you for that. In order to be able to teach you more things as soon as possible, we have to use more words to make accurate statements. And what we teach you is that language exists for the sake of being expressed. But in this world, clear and accurate expression is not actually the norm of language......" Wei Ze inevitably felt a little weak when he said this, there has never been anything in the world that only has a positive impact and no negative impact, Qi Rui is a very good child, but others have too high expectations for him, and this high demand makes Qi Rui lose a lot of opportunities. Just as Qi Rui didn't have the opportunity to understand when he was young, women's speech is actually based on emotions rather than men's 'imagined rationality'.
Wei Ze was in his 40s when he understood this, and Qi Rui was already studying day and night in high school for the university entrance examination. This made Wei Ze feel that his father's education was indeed insufficient.
Qi Rui didn't mean to put the responsibility on his father, he was stunned at this time. Hearing his father's purely rational analysis, he immediately asked, "Then why didn't Chu Xue tell me, why did he reject me?" ā
Wei Ze couldn't help but sigh slightly, "Has there been any space left for you in your world?" Qi Rui, in your state, your goal is always in the future, and you don't leave anything in the present at all. I think Chu Xue is a smart girl, and people follow you to share the present, not for the future that God knows when it will be realized. Why didn't she tell you? It's because you didn't tell her at all, what you can give her now! ā
"Now ......" The incomprehension on Qi Rui's face almost disappeared, in terms of his cleverness, he would naturally be able to understand the joints after opening his mind. In the uncontrollable pain, Qi Rui's voice was almost moaning, "I ...... at that time, and I couldn't give her anything at that time." I didn't know what I could do, and I didn't know if I could achieve my goals. Even now, when I look back, all I expected was wrong......"
"Qi Rui! You are mistaken. That's what you want, that's not what Chu Xue wants. What Chu Xue wants is not to be promoted and make a fortune, and what Chu Xue wants is not that you don't even have to be with her every day. Chu Xue just wants one thing, you really want to be with her, and you will work hard for things that can be with her. After Wei Ze counted so much, he suddenly felt that his son was really a spoiled little emperor, and he was working hard with himself as the center. No matter how talented he is, no matter how strong his ability is, Qi Rui's worldview has essential problems. And this question is the key to whether Qi Rui can cross that threshold. A truly qualified leader has strong willpower, but that doesn't mean they think they're the center of the world.
Just when Wei Ze thought that Qi Rui would continue to say something stupid, he saw Qi Rui stand up in a state of confusion, and he didn't forget the military hat he put aside. After putting on his military hat, he left Weser's office without saying a word.
Looking at his son's back, Wei Ze prayed in his heart, hoping that Qi Rui would be able to figure out the joints and make his own breakthrough under such a blow. If Qi Rui could really sober up in this soul-deep shock, Wei Ze felt that Chu Xue's child really had infinite value to Qi Rui. No one likes to suffer pain, but it has to be admitted that only intense pain that touches the soul has a relatively small chance of changing a person. Of course, in what direction the change will take, Weeser is not sure.
Qi Rui's mind was muddy, and it wasn't until someone suddenly grabbed Qi Rui's arm that Qi Rui understood a little. Then a truck drove in front of him, and Qi Rui was startled by such a change. Turning his head to see that it was an anxious guard who grabbed his arm, Qi Rui was shocked to find that he didn't know how long he had walked or how far he had walked. He had no idea what he had done since he left Daddy Weser's office.
"Let's go to the train station." Qi Rui said as he forced a smile at the anxious guard.
On the way to Nanjing, Qi Rui didn't say a word, which was different from the last time he was in a state of prostration after being freed from the war. Qi Rui's mental state this time is very lively, and the terrifying memories of the war have faded, and those good memories of the past are easily recalled from the memory bank one by one.
At that time, there were so many good memories, and Qi Rui himself was surprised. And the most vague impression is that the two of them are sitting next to a very thick tree in a small park, and the six fast stone slabs are built into a hexagonal stone bench around the tree, Qi Rui and Chu Xue are sitting on the two stone slabs next to each other, they are both leaning against the big tree, shoulder to shoulder. Chu Xue's body temperature was felt on his skin, as well as the warm wind at that time. The aroma of Chu Xue's body was smelled in his nasal cavity. Qi Rui couldn't remember what he said at the time, but the feeling of warmth and tranquility remained in his memory very clearly. The warm memories made the lying on the top bunk can't help but shed tears. This is not a tear of pain, but a tear of emotion. It turns out that I have had such a good time. But it is precisely because of my own ignorance ......, no, because of my own selfishness that all this is lost.
When they arrived in Nanjing, the guards went to the guest house of the military academy to arrange a place for Qi Rui, and Qi Rui dialed Chu Xue's house with a nervous mood. Before Chu Xue answered the phone, Qi Rui was full of contradictions in his heart. He didn't want his dad Weser to be wrong, but he realized that he was looking forward to his dad Weezer being wrong. If Daddy Wei Ze is wrong, at least it can prove that Qi Rui did not make such a huge mistake.
Chu Xue's voice was still so happy when she answered the phone, and she couldn't hear the impact of the bad separation between the two last time. For Qi Rui to ask Chu Xue to come out, Chu Xue readily agreed. When he put down the phone, Qi Rui was stunned. Daddy Wei Ze has never seen Chu Xue, and his understanding of Chu Xue is completely derived from Qi Rui's narrative. Why is Daddy's judgment of Chu Xue far more accurate than Qi Rui's. Could it really be Qi Rui's mistake?
It's still an old place, I haven't seen Chu Xue lose a lot of weight for a few months, and some of the slender taste of her previous girlhood has returned. Qi Rui said first, "I'm sorry last time......"
Chu Xue shook her head, "Don't say it, Qi Rui." I didn't meet you out of displeasure. ā
Qi Rui's heart sank, and there was no need to talk about many things anymore. The facts have proven Daddy Weeser's judgment. Chu Xue sighed, "Let's go to the store last time and sit down." But I don't want to eat, so I'll go get a cup of tea. ā
Walking on the road, too many people bet on these two people with all kinds of eyes. Qi Rui was depressed in his heart and didn't care at all. Chu Xue didn't care, she smiled: "I read the newspaper, you used Qi Rui's name, right?" ā
"Yes, I used Qi Rui's name. I didn't become a lieutenant general before the age of 30, so I thought I was bragging. Qi Rui sighed.
Chu Xue showed a smile that made Qi Rui feel extremely warm, "Don't worry." You'll always be that junior high school boy in my heart, and I don't think you're thirty. I think you're the thirteen-year-old. ā
Qi Rui couldn't help but want to defend himself, but he couldn't say anything except for a wry smile. If it weren't for someone next to him, Qi Rui actually suspected that he would have a sour nose and red circles. Because at this time, his nose already had a slight sour feeling.
