The plan is not as good as the change, Tengxi talked for less than 20 minutes, and Li Xiaoshan, the president of China who came back from Hujiang in order to sweep the tomb, hurried to the second floor of the beach villa with the look of the security director of the experimental center.

"In a plane crash in the Netherlands just last month, MPL's executive vice president and six executives were killed on the same flight, causing huge losses to MPL. President Bierman, President Lu, Director de Bar, and all the safety experts of NB Aviation agreed that this way of traveling was too risky. ”

I set off early tomorrow morning, but now I say that it is too dangerous for so many people to take a charter flight together.

The charter really didn't know what to say about them, Xia Yao was also ridiculed, and even Wu Xiaolian and Tengxi thought it was a bit of a fuss.

Regardless of what they thought, Director Yan took out a copy of the travel system just formulated by the NB Laboratory Council from his briefcase, and said confidently: "Director Zhang, after receiving the fax from NB Airlines, the Group Security Department and the Laboratory Security Department immediately consulted ACT (Association of Business Travel Companies) on this issue. It was found that almost all of the 100 largest companies in Asia Pacific, North America, Europe and the Middle East have rules that restrict company executives from flying on the same flight. More than 30% of these companies even require that all mid- to senior-level employees are not allowed to fly 'together'.

This is the "Interim Regulations on Air Travel of NB Laboratory Personnel" urgently formulated by the Council with reference to the relevant regulations on the travel of executives of multinational companies such as CE, Orient and Coca-Cola. As the founder, funder and director of the Department of Applied Technology, you must comply with this rule and must not travel on the same flight as You Shaojun of the Chemistry Research Center. ”

The charter took a look at the document signed by the members of the council. Crying and laughing, he asked, "Director Yan." Does this mean attending an academic conference in the future? And you can only take a plane, so the people who attend the meeting will have to go separately? ”

Director Yan nodded his head and confirmed with great seriousness: "Researchers with B-level or above authority must travel on staggered flights, and C1, C2 and C3 personnel cannot have more than two people on the same flight. ”

Acting like a national leader, Xia Yao couldn't help asking: "Mr. Li, the group won't have such regulations, right?" ”

"Not before, not now, but there will definitely be in the future."

Li Xiaoshan smiled. "After receiving the fax from NB Airlines, Mr. Wu, Mr. Xu, Mr. Yan, Mr. Xie, Mr. Shen, Mr. Yung and President Zhou also believed that it was necessary and planned to make air travel safety an important topic at the next board meeting. Prior to this, the Board of Directors passed an interim resolution by an overwhelming majority requiring Bylaws, Siwei, Wenming, Me, and Majestic to stagger their departures in accordance with the laboratory's air travel regulations. ”

My father was buried in a small martyr's cemetery on the Sino-Vietnamese border, and the traffic remained extremely unchanged, except for Chen Zhenghuai, Li Xiaoshan, Wang Yuanzheng and Gu Xinyuan, who were present at the time of the burial, and they have not paid tribute to any of their relatives and friends for 13 years.

The grandmother wanted to see where her son was buried, and the grandparents wanted to see the grave of her son-in-law. The eldest uncle, the second uncle, and the eldest aunt also wanted to inject incense into him, not to mention his mother Wu Xiulan. I almost dreamed of going.

As soon as I went, there was a large family, more than 80 men, women and children, a plane just sat down, Ding Aiguo prepared for nearly half a year, the vehicle hotel, eating, drinking, Lasa and sleeping, everything was thought of, and all of them were ready, and now they are actually doing this thing.

If you don't say it sooner or later, but at this time, all the plans have been disrupted, how can I explain it to so many relatives and friends? The charter was so angry that he asked with an unhappy face: "Just because there was an air crash in the Netherlands?" ”

"Not just because of the Dutch air crash?"

Li Xiaoshan sighed lightly and said with a wry smile of helplessness: "The negotiations between NB Airlines and Hujiang Airlines have reached an impasse, and Mr. Hansen, the head of safety, and Mr. Debar, the director of training, have come to the conclusion that there are huge hidden dangers in China's civil aviation safety after nearly two months of on-site investigations.

For example, a domestic airline that maintains a good safety record has four aircraft engine air parking incidents, one ground parking incident and four take-off misroute incidents in just half a year, which pose a great threat to flight safety.

He even bluntly pointed out that in terms of aircraft maintenance, the maintenance engineering department of China's civil aviation has not studied the problems of multiple and repetitive engines in depth enough, has weaknesses in the reliability management of engines and the overall work, and has serious doubts about the technical and disposal capabilities of the captain and co-pilot. ”

The regulations of domestic flights are not less, and they can't help asking: "China's civil aviation is so unbearable in their eyes?" ”

"There may be some problems, and they definitely have higher safety requirements than ordinary airlines, after all, professional training and professional air passenger transportation are two different things. There are so many of them waiting for one plane, and how many people are there in a normal airline? If they are like them, they can't wait to dismantle all the planes and check them after every take-off and landing, then the airlines don't drink the northwest wind? ”

Li Xiaoshan paused, and then said: "But Bierman, Mr. Lu, De Bar and Hansen are not wrong to do this, after all, NB Aviation is a new company, a small company, and it can't afford to take any risks." The Montreal Convention also stipulates that in the event of an aviation accident, the family can pursue the liability of both the actual carrier and the contracting carrier. In other words, once an airline codeshare agreement is reached and something really happens to Hujiang Airlines, then NB Airlines will be jointly and severally liable. ”

If these group executives really staggered and set off, how many days would this tomb have to be swept?

Xingda Company is so busy, Tengxi doesn't want to waste too much time, and says to himself: "I'm also afraid, I'm afraid, the Germans are not too bold!" ”

On this issue, the charter is inclined to NB Airlines, and said expressionlessly: "Foreign aviation safety is different from that of China, if there is a plane crash, and the investigation is caused by human factors, then the relevant responsible persons, including airline executives, will be held legally responsible." ”

Tengxi will be suspicious: "You want to go to jail?" ”

"Well, there's no humanity to talk about on this issue."

Regardless of NB Electric or NB Laboratory, as long as it is a rule and regulations, it must be obeyed to the letter. It's not easy to set rules. It's easy to break rules. Xia Yao didn't want to break the rules he had set over the years because of this. He said again and again: "Husband, then let's take the train, we can't go tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, anyway, it's not in a hurry." ”

"That's all it can be."

Temporarily changing the mode of travel, China Southern Airlines' charter deposit will definitely not come back, in fact, Ding Aiguo, who has been in charge of this matter, has not even had time to apologize, let alone be embarrassed to take care of others.

Including the accompanying bodyguards, nearly 100 soft sleeper tickets are needed, and there are obviously not so many ticket offices at Xiangjiang Railway Station. was planning to let the old man and children sit in the sleeper, and the young man sat in the hard seat, Tengxi actually used the banner of her old man, and forced the railway bureau to hang two soft sleeper cars through the military representative stationed in the Guangdu Railway Bureau.

Although it is said that taking a train and changing cars is more than ten hours slower than taking a plane and changing cars, it makes several old people who have never taken a plane and have been nervous during this time breathe a sigh of relief.

On the train at night, surrounded by family and friends, ask the conductor to lock the door. Wobbly slept sounder than at home.

At half past nine the next morning, the train arrived more than half an hour late in the city of Qianse, where the head of the Southern Patrol had organized and commanded the uprising when he was young.

Old Man Teng's influence in the army is undoubted. Major General Wu Guangyuan, director of the Political Department of the Military Region, not only rushed to the Qianse Railway Station from Ningnan, the seat of the autonomous regional government, to greet him personally, but even brought a doctor and a nurse from the General Hospital of the Military Region to prevent the old lady and Wu Xiulan from being overly sad and causing any accidents.

There is a military airport in Qianse, but due to the runway and route, the chartered flight of China Southern Airlines contacted by Ding Aiguo did not plan to land here, but Ningnan, which is farther away from Changshan Cemetery, and the three tourist buses contacted before naturally did not need it.

The charter, Liu Siwei, Chen Zhenghuai, and Wang Yuanzheng expressed their gratitude to Director Wu, and then beckoned everyone to get on the bus that Director Wu had transferred from the military region. Although they unanimously said that they did not need to be accompanied, Director Wu, who was entrusted by others and loyal to others, still decided to accompany this huge tomb sweeping group.

A Cherokee military vehicle of the military sub-district drove the way, with flashing police lights, guiding a convoy composed of a black red flag and five Toyota Coasters along the winding, steep, rugged, and narrow winding mountain road, driving mightily towards the Sino-Vietnamese border.

The vast sea of clouds in the mountain stream was the most beautiful scenery that the charter had ever seen, but it could not arouse his fiery mood. The grandmother and mother Wu Xiulan, who were sitting behind him, stared at the mountains outside the car, the water outside the car, the villages outside the car, and the grass outside the car...... Bloodstained demeanor outside the car.

The convoy is getting closer and closer to Changshan, and the mood of Ding Aiguo, Chen Zhenghuai, Li Xiaoshan, Chen Shikang, Wang Yuanzheng and Gu Xinyuan has become more and more solemn. Their hearts had already rushed to the southern border town hidden in the mountains, and they tried to match the scenery passing outside the car with the memory filled with gunsmoke.

They greedily satisfied the desire for sight, sucked the condensation residue in the air diligently, quietly listened to the low echo of the wind like a cry, and looked reverently at the silent tranquility of the distant mountains...... I even want to get out of the car and respectfully caress this long-lost land.

On the 160-kilometer mountain road, the team made 9 stops, and each stop, their eyes were moist. The 160-kilometer mountain road, the team spent 5 hours, every hour, made them feel surging, they were feeling with their hearts, feeling this familiar hot land, feeling their youth left here.

At 4:24 p.m., the convoy slowly drove into a small town.

Battered by war more than a decade ago, it looks old and dilapidated, with drizzle outside, muddy roads in the town, and low houses lined up irregularly along the paths. The playground in front of the school is the heart of the town and is a place where people often gather.

Next to the playground, the radio of the cultural station on the small hill wakes the town from sleep every day, transmits the information outside the mountain in an orderly manner, and also tells the big and small things of the town.

Chen Zhenghuai hesitated for a while, and finally turned around and said: "Old lady, Xiulan, this is Changshan Town, or let's find a place to eat first, and then go to see the aid of the DPRK after eating." ”

The old lady was so trembling that she couldn't control herself, grabbed her daughter-in-law's hand, and said tremblingly: "Aid the DPRK...... Aid to North Korea...... Where is the aid to Korea...... I can't see it......" As soon as the word "ah" came out, old tears burst out of the embankment.

For Wu Xiulan, everything here is like a windmill spinning in front of her eyes. Heaven and earth are upside down. She closed her eyes. Let the tears flow.

"Grandma, why are you crying, didn't we say we wouldn't cry yesterday?"

The little guy threw himself into her arms, Liu Siwei hurriedly coughed dryly, pulled his arm and said, "Jiahui, don't pester grandma, come to Dad." ”

Wu Xiulan reacted and touched the travel bag under the seat of the car. Choked up and said, "Zhenghuai, or ...... Let's go see where he is. ”

"Okay."

Chen Zhenghuai nodded slightly, then walked to the driver's side, raised his arm and pointed in the direction of the cemetery. The driver of the open road, who was looking behind him, turned on his turn signal and drove straight out of town with the convoy.

Changshan Cemetery was founded in 1979 and completed in 1988, covering an area of more than 40 acres, backed by green mountains and facing green water, with a total of 257 martyrs buried.

Due to limited funding. The building of the cemetery looks somewhat dilapidated and there is no parking lot. Cars can only be parked on the road at the foot of the mountain, and there is even only one caretaker. And there are several cemeteries like this in the county. By the time the charter came here, several other cemeteries had already been moved here and underwent extensive renovations.

"It's here, get out of the car."

As soon as he stretched out his arm and was about to help his grandmother up, he suddenly looked at the attaché of Director Wu of the Political Department of the Military Region and took out a wreath from the trunk of the car in front of him. Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man in an old military uniform rushed over from the cemetery on the mountainside and ran to Director Wu's car as if to report something.

They worship the martyrs, and they worship their families, and they don't prepare wreaths, and they don't need wreaths.

Before the people arrived at the cemetery, the old lady was already crying, and the grandparents were also in tears, making everyone a little helpless.

Fortunately, there was a division of labor in advance, the eldest aunt and the second aunt were responsible for comforting the old lady, the eldest aunt and the younger aunt were responsible for comforting the grandparents, Gu Hongxia, Xu Ping, Ge Aifang, Tian Qiuju and others were responsible for persuading their mother Wu Xiulan, Chen Baolin and Wu Xiaolian and other juniors to take care of Zhang Hui and Zhang Lin.

My mother was stronger than she imagined, and as she walked, she advised, "Bring everything with you, don't pull it down." ”

"I know Mom, I won't pull it down." The charter answered, and carried the travel bag she had been thinking about even tighter.

Liu Siwei, You Shaojun, Ding Wenming, Zhang Bing, Wu Xiaozhu, Wu Xiaojun, Chen Changhe...... Holding all kinds of sacrifices in their hands, Ding Aiguo, Chen Zhenghuai, Chen Shikang, Li Xiaoshan, Wang Yuanzheng and Gu Xinyuan were holding a box of Moutai. The eldest uncle and the second uncle and the second aunt were more old-fashioned, and prepared a large number of yellow paper incense candles according to the customs of their hometown.

Two soldiers holding wreaths led the way in front, and Major General Wu followed closely behind accompanied by the administrator, and more than 100 people paid tribute to the outside world, and they went up the stairs in such a majestic manner.

Walking into the gate engraved with "Changshan Revolutionary Martyrs Cemetery", you can see the martyrs' memorial tower erected with marble, the front is "the people's heroes are immortal", and the back is "You live in our hearts, we live in your cause" several big characters.

The environment is very nice and quiet. The weeping cypresses, the small trees are dotted, and the melodious singing of the birds is indeed very suitable for the martyrs to be buried here.

"Camp Commander Zhang's tomb is here, please come with me."

Under the guidance of General Wu, the administrator accompanied everyone inside, and introduced: "Here are the martyrs who died in the counterattack against Vietnam from 22 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the central government, and the battalion commander Zhang is the largest and the highest rank......

The martyr's tomb is divided into four districts, the martyr's tomb in each district is arranged in a neat and orderly manner, the tombstones are all lying down, and a red five-pointed star is embedded on the mottled tablet surface, and the martyr's name, place of origin, and life are written on it, which is simple and contemplative.

Along the way, as he introduced, the martyrs buried here were all very young, most of them were between 17 and 22 years old when they died, and they enlisted in the army for a very short time, two years, one year, three months, and some only enlisted for only one month. In addition to these fighters, many former militia members also slept peacefully here.

When everyone came to the tomb of Zhang Yuanchao, they found that someone had just worshipped, and there was a big wreath in front of the tombstone, the couplet on the right was "The martyr of Zhang Yuanchao is immortal", and the inscription on the left was "The People's Government of Nanbin City, Jiangnan Province respects the money". The coffin-shaped tomb is covered with a big red flag, and the flag is pasted with ten yellow characters on a red background: "Good sons and daughters in the south of the Yangtze River, heroic souls guarding the frontier".

Wu Xiulan couldn't hold back any longer, and threw herself in front of the tombstone with a wow, crying heartbreakingly.

Four generations of ancestors and grandchildren sacrificed their relatives, and it was unspeakably sad. I've been thinking about it but haven't come, I'm afraid to see this scene of yin and yang separating each other.

The old lady struggled to get out of the wheelchair, and Liu Siwei hurriedly picked her up and carefully asked her to sit on the left side of the tombstone.

The two warriors laid wreaths, stood up and saluted, and immediately moved out of the way.

Director Wu of the Political Department of the Military Region raised his arm, also saluted the tombstone with a standard military salute, and then turned around and said in a low voice to nearly 100 family members: "In 1979, in the battle against the Vietnamese invaders, Comrade Zhang Yuanchao carried forward a high degree of patriotism and revolutionary heroism, led 427 commanders and fighters to wage 17 days and nights of bloody battles, smashed the enemy's multiple lines of defense from company to regiment size, and won a major victory......

In this battle, Comrade Zhang Yuanchao died heroically. He gave up comfortable and comfortable living conditions, sacrificed the love of father and son, the love of husband and wife and the joy of family, threw himself into the battlefield of blood and fire, defended the frontier of the motherland, defended the socialist construction, and defended the tranquility of the people's life with blood and life, and wrote the great poem of 'sacrificing one of me and making one billion people happy' with practical actions!

His heroic deeds have added new brilliance to the glorious history of our army, and his lofty character is always worthy of our study. The bones of the loyal are buried here in the green mountains, and the heroic spirits run through the Changhong! The achievements of the revolutionary heroes are eternal, and the martyrs of the chapter aid dynasty are immortal! Xiguang Military Region of the F Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, October 28, 1992. ”

These remarks were not made casually, he represented the Xiguang Military Region.

Wang Yuan is an active soldier, how could he not know what this means, and immediately blurted out: "Salute!" ”

With his order, Ding Aiguo, Chen Zhenghuai, Li Xiaoshan, Chen Shikang, Wang Xinyuan, and Tengxi, regardless of whether they were active or retired, as long as they had military experience, all saluted a solemn military salute.

"Aid Korea!"

Uncle Wu Xiufeng held on to the tombstone and cried: "Aid the dynasty, your mother and Xiulan have brought the children to see you!" This is Jiahui, your grandson, Xiaohui's child. This is your daughter-in-law Xia Yao, how handsome she looks, and she will marry her third son next month. The second child also has a partner.,The doctor who stayed in Germany.。 One is more promising than the other, and you can rest assured at the bottom. ”

"Dad!"

Zhang Hui cried so much that it rained, and Liu Siwei hurriedly pushed Xiao Jiahui to the tombstone, "Quick, kowtow to your grandfather." ”

While crying, Wu Xiulan took out a few fresh-keeping boxes from her travel bag and put her husband's favorite pig's head meat, braised fish, and fried peanuts...... With trembling hands, carefully placed in front of the tombstone. (To be continued......)
