Located in Gyeonggi Province, 61.4 kilometers south of Seoul, the U.S. Army Osan Air Base in South Korea covers an area of 6.34 square kilometers and is the headquarters of the 7th Air Force and the 51st Fighter Wing of the U.S. Air Force. At present, the Osan Air Base is stationed with the command organization of the US Air Force Campaign Corps, the Air Force Flight Unit, and the main combat support and support units. There are currently 6,752 US military personnel stationed at the base.

The 51st Fighter Wing consists of the 36th Fighter Squadron and the 25th Fighter Squadron. The 36th Fighter Squadron is mainly engaged in anti-aviation operations, air interdiction and close air support missions, and is now equipped with 28 F-16C/D fighters. The 25th Fighter Squadron is mainly engaged in air strike control and close air support missions, and is now equipped with 21 A/OA-10 attack aircraft. In addition, the base is equipped with a squadron of helicopter gunships, which consists of 6 AH-64D "Longbow Apache" helicopter gunships, 4 AH-1 "Cobra" helicopter gunships, 4 UH-60A "Black Hawk" helicopters and 2 MH-47E "Chinook" transport helicopters.

Feng Zixi, wearing a crisp air force second lieutenant uniform, rode a Humvee military vehicle to the gate of the Osan base, underwent a routine inspection, and drove into the camp. It covers a large area, with dense barracks and hangars with wide openings around it. Although it was already afternoon, the weather in December in South Korea was very cold, and the entire base became deserted, and I didn't know where to hide from the cold. The few people I rarely see are technicians who are maintaining aircraft and military policemen on patrol.

The sergeant major took Feng Zixi to an office, said a few words to a corporal guarding the door, and asked Feng Zixi to hand over the military ID card to the corporal for inspection before he was allowed to enter the office.

Feng Zixi walked into the office and saw Uncle Edson chatting with an Air Force colonel over coffee, and the atmosphere was very good, which made Feng Zixi angry and not come together.

Barely holding back his breath, Feng Zixi made an American-style military salute and shouted loudly: "Reserve Second Lieutenant Zachary of the Air Guard Corps of the United States National Guard report for duty, Your Excellency General, hello Mr. Colonel!" ”

"Huh! You little guy, you seem to have a lot of grievances! Major General Edson looked at Feng Zixi with a smile, put down the cup in his hand, waved his hand to let the sergeant major who came in leave, pointed to the colonel who had been sitting, and said, "Don't be formal, everyone here is your own family, he is the commander of the Osan base. Cruise, count as your cousin. ”

"Cousin?" Feng Zixi opened his eyes wide and looked at Monsent, who was in his forties no matter how he looked at it. Colonel Cruise, I'm afraid he is not much older than Uncle Edson, how can he still have such a cousin?

Moncent. Colonel Cruise also stood up, stretched out his hand to shake Feng Zixi, and said, "Cousin Zachary, I've heard Aunt Aina talk about you several times, but because I've always been stationed abroad, I haven't met you once, I didn't expect us to meet in Korea, it's really fate!" ”

Looking at Feng Zixi's still confused eyes, Uncle Edson explained: "Monson is your mother's cousin, your Uncle Roy's eldest son. You weren't born when he joined the army, and you were sent to Panama, Luxembourg, Spain, Guam, and Okinawa, so you didn't get a chance to meet him. Two months ago, he was transferred from Okinawa to the Osan Air Base in South Korea, and you have the opportunity to meet each other. ”

Feng Zixi's mother, Mrs. Aina, is Feng Zixi's grandfather's old daughter, and Uncle Roy is Mrs. Aina's eldest brother, that is, Feng Zixi's own uncle, unlike Uncle Edson, who is just a cousin. Uncle Roy, who was a lieutenant general in the U.S. Air Force before retiring, is now almost 70 years old, and Feng Zixi had met the old man in the vineyards of Long Island earlier. Although I have always heard that this uncle has a son who is not at home all the year round, but for so many years, Feng Zixi has never had the opportunity to see him, but he didn't expect it to be close at hand.

It's all his own family, and Feng Zixi doesn't care about any etiquette, so he sits down very casually and pours himself a cup of coffee. He wondered why Uncle Edson would find himself in this way, and if he only wanted to see this cousin? Then you don't have to be so radical, you need to use the order of the conscription?

"Isn't it strange why I want to bring you here in this way, and I want to temporarily conscript you into the army and promote your rank?" Uncle Edson smiled.

Feng Zixi nodded and said, "That's right, I'm really curious. It's not a time of war, and North Korea hasn't attacked South Korea, so how can a temporary call-up order come out for no reason? Also, my rank as a warrant officer is hanging, which doesn't mean anything at all, why did I suddenly become a second lieutenant? Also, since it is a temporary call-up order, when will it be lifted? ”

Uncle Edson and Cousin Moncent looked at each other and smiled, as if they had expected Feng Zixi to ask such a question. Cousin Monson handed a document on the desk to Feng Zixi and said, "You will see it for yourself." ”

The document was written confidential, which made Feng Zixi even more confused. When I opened it, it turned out to be a specific action and implementation plan for the US military stationed in South Korea and the ROK military to conduct a military exercise on land, sea and air.

Uncle Edson and Cousin Moncent waited quietly for Feng Zixi to read the document, and said, "Do you have a lot of questions?" You can ask questions now, and your cousin Moncent and I will answer them for you. ”

"The first thing I asked was, why did you want to show me this document? This is a confidential document from the exercise, aren't you afraid that I will leak it? Feng Zixi put down the document, slowly sorted out the key points in his mind, and continued: "You temporarily recruited me into the army and promoted my rank, don't you want me to participate in this military exercise?" ”

"Bingo, all in the middle." Cousin Monsente clapped his hands happily and said, "I have always said that Zachary is a genius and has a good brain, but I didn't expect to know the purpose of our search for you so quickly." That's right, this time I hope you can participate in this joint military exercise. ”

Feng Zixi looked at Uncle Edson and Cousin Moncent, who were smiling at him, and from their expressions, it didn't seem that they were joking with him. "Really? You're not kidding, are you? What exercises do I participate in? I can act, I haven't participated in military training for several years, where do I have any qualifications to participate in any military exercises, I won't do it! After Feng Zixi finished speaking, he stood up and wanted to leave, but unfortunately he was destined to be disappointed.

"Ensign Zachary! Do you want to disobey military orders? ”

Uncle Edson shouted, Feng Zixi instinctively stood up and shouted, "No, sir!" ”

"Come back and sit down, why are you so excited, will your uncle and cousin still harm you?" Cousin Monsente smiled and put Feng Zixi back into the chair and said, "Actually, we came to you to do your old job --- acting." ”

"I can also string and understand the English of acting and drills, is it wrong or am I wrong?" Feng Zixi pursed his lips and said.

Uncle Edson said: "The thing is very simple, this so-called joint military exercise is a show, a show for the South Korean people. ”

"A show?"

"That's right, it's a show." Uncle Edson said: "You should also know in South Korea over the years that the people of South Korea have always disliked the US troops stationed in South Korea, and the call for the withdrawal of US troops is getting louder and louder. And within the army, because some people can't control their middle leg, there are always problems, which makes the people around the base even more disgusted and angry. ”

"And then?"

Feng Zixi slowly listened to Uncle Edson's words and gradually understood the ins and outs of the matter. In fact, the situation of dissatisfaction with the US military stationed in South Korea is not limited to South Korea, but also to neighboring Japan. Most of these American soldiers are strong men in the prime of life, who have been stationed away from home for a long time, leaving not only their families and wives, but also enduring a long period of loneliness. Some people will get drunk with alcohol, and some people will not be able to control their impulses, so they will go out and cause trouble. In recent years, in Japan and South Korea, there have been many cases of indecent or forcible U.S. soldiers. The incident of raping a young girl has aroused great opinions and indignation among the people.

However, even if the US troops stationed abroad cause trouble in the local area, the local courts and police have no right to interrogate and arrest them, and everything must be handed over to the military police and handed over to the military court for questioning. What does this say? Typical corrupt personnel fight corruption, and corrupt personnel fight corruption (this situation is exactly the same as in China, that is, I don't know if our country is learning from the United States, or the United States is learning from our country). The worst thing is not to kick people back to the United States after a few days of lockdown. Because of this, the US military urgently needs to change its image among the local population.

In recent years, the United States has returned its focus to the Asia-Pacific region, and it urgently needs to deploy more military forces and weapons and equipment in South Korea and Japan. Therefore, the US military stationed in South Korea has reached an agreement with the South Korean government to prepare for the expansion of the Osan base and the Pyeongtaek base. However, as soon as this plan was proposed, it was met with strong opposition from local residents, who not only demanded that the plan be stopped immediately, but even demanded that the US military completely withdraw from the two bases.

In order to continue to carry out this expansion plan, the US military is preparing to direct and act in a scene on its own, and bring in Feng Zixi, who is already a big star, as a helicopter pilot of the Air Force, to participate in this joint military exercise, and will also find reporters and television stations to comprehensively report in the media on the military training that Zixi received during the military exercise, as well as his heroic appearance when participating in the military exercise. The U.S. military and the South Korean military are ready to set up Zixi as a role model, using his popularity, as well as which fans and fans like him, to reduce the public's opposition to the U.S. military, so that the expansion of the base can proceed smoothly.

"So, I'm your puppet, a string-ripping doll that you let you fiddle with during the military exercise?" Feng Zixi never thought that one day, he would become a puppet in the hands of others, and let them fiddle with it at will.

"No, you'd be wrong to say that." Cousin Monsente shook his head and said, "Actually, this is a good thing for both sides. This time, the U.S. military and the ROK army will work together to build you into a glorious image of a soldier and become a military idol star in the minds of countless young people. All the details of your training and participation will be reported out, and your reports will appear every day in various news outlets, as well as on the Internet. Not only will you not lose your popularity by enlisting in the army, but you will also become one of the top superstars in Korea. You get so much, it only takes three months, and three months is enough. Cousin Monsente threw a big cake to lure Feng Zixi into taking the bait.

"Three months? Do you mean I'll be able to retire in three months? ”

"There will be no retirement, only the restoration of the original formation, the return to the National Guard Air Guard Reserve. You can still be your star, and you can still live your free life. Moreover, this matter has been approved by the US military command in South Korea and reported to the Pentagon for approval and approval. Uncle Edson said.
