Chapter 82: Parting with a glass of wine, it's hard to turn back as a demon!
At 7 p.m. on June 12, 1975, we made our own table of dishes that blended north and south.
Lu Minda and Mo Ma have never been accustomed to our food tastes, so they did not eat at the same table with us.
They like to eat Southeast Asian fried foods, barbecues, fried rice, and spicy soups that don't have a sense of temperature, and after they've eaten their own food, they go on to other things.
I, Xiaoda, Xiaoming, Du Wentao, Niu Shilong and Li Ping were eating, drinking, and chatting together in the restaurant!
Niu Shilong said: "Alas! Before I entered the school, I thought I was lucky! I didn't expect that it has been more than a year since I graduated, and I feel that these things I have done are really not human work! We live a life of displacement, precariousness! How long will we end these days?! ”
Xiaoming smiled and said, "Alas! Brother Niu! Previously we did appreciate your optimism! What do you want to do with all this? Isn't that what being a human being looks like?! Think about you going to Nanyang together to fight and die comrades! Those of us who survived were really lucky! Good days are always bitter and then sweet! Let's grit our teeth and persevere! As long as we can get through it! One day, the headquarters will treat us as big heroes and carry us back to China in eight sedan chairs! That is, we can enjoy the blessings! ”
Niu Shilong smiled and said, "Alas! Zhou Xiaoming! You're in the wrong business as an agent! You should go and tell stories to everyone! You think you're a bride! Why do you still carry a sedan chair?! ”
Everyone laughed!
Dr. Wei said, "Alas! I came out of the countryside of Jiangsu and Zhejiang! I worked as a secret agent just to be fed! The eight-lift sedan chair is a means of transportation for officials in the old era! We're the equivalent of the old days of spies and factory guards and stuff! We can save our lives, we can still eat, we can bask in the sun, thank God so much! My expectations are not high, as long as I can live as much as I want to live today, I will be very satisfied! The people at the best headquarters gradually forgot about me! Just let me be a common man! If I can do this, in the future, I will burn incense for them every day and bless them with a long life! Marry a bride every day! ”
Everyone laughed!
Li Ping said: "Alas! After Niu Shilong and I separated from you this time, I don't know when we will be able to meet! If I can choose again, I can do anything! But I'm not going to be an agent! I feel like I have no reason to do this! Now, I have no enemies and no hatred! Why should I play with my life! ”
Xiaoda smiled and said, "Alas! I think it's really interesting! The essence of life is a matter of life and death! There is hope, and there is despair! There are those who live, and there are those who die! Just be careful! Fall to death, go reincarnate early! If you don't fall to your death, go on! You can't sit still and wait to die! ”
Everyone laughed!
I said, "Alas! Xiaoda makes a lot of sense! Since everyone has embarked on this road, it is asking for trouble if you think more! Desperate! It's just a game of life and death, and the enemy is not three-headed and six-armed! They can play us to death, and we can play them to death! I feel that our enemies are all old men, and we are still very young, so we should have a better chance of defeating them! Perhaps, before our enemies have had a chance to fight us, they are already old and dead! Come! To celebrate the early death of the enemy! Cheers! ”
So, start toasting each other, stop talking about those pessimistic and sad things!
......
At 7 a.m. on June 13, me, Xiaoda, Xiaoming, and Du Wentao were dressed in simple casual clothes, bringing local ID cards and passports.
Mom Mo, Li Ping, Dr. Wei and Lu Minsheng saw us off in the courtyard!
They hugged us goodbye with tears in their eyes!
After saying goodbye, Niu Shilong drove the four of us to the CIA office in his family jeep.
......
At 9 a.m., we arrived on time outside the gates of the CIA office.
We got out of the car and said goodbye to Niu Shilong, and Niu Shilong drove back to the Demon Star Villa.
After we explained our intentions to the guards at the sentry box, one of the guards led us into the courtyard.
Entering the courtyard, we saw that the military and staff inside were very busy!
They kept moving all sorts of things and miscellaneous items from the office building where we were going.
Some of them were loading several carts, some were burning documents and sundries in several empty oil drums, etc.!
We feel like some people are retreating!
......
Soon the guards took us to a soldier's barracks next to the office building.
The barracks was very spacious, with beds, tables and chairs, etc., and the guards let us rest here and wait for check-in and induction.
After the soldiers left, we saw a group of people in a corner of the barracks, muttering and talking.
When we looked closely, we found that among them was our old friend Ah Fu! And the others should be his Saigon countrymen!
Ah Fu also recognized us immediately!
So, everyone got together to get to know each other, and then, everyone sat around and chatted.
Xiaoda smiled and said, "Ah Fu! How did you come in? ”
Ah Fu said: "Alas! A few of us were brought here from home by someone from the CIA last night! These people are really not good things! We've heard that tonight, they're going to take us on a boat to San Francisco, North America! ”
Xiaoming said: "Ah Fu! Did they onboard you? ”
Ah Fu said, "Not yet! They said, "When you come, we'll do it with us!" ”
We were chatting when an officer walked into the room.
He shouted to us, "Lovely mo."
Keys, follow me! )”
We said in unison, "YES!" SIR! (Yes!) Sir! )”
Then, we consciously lined up and followed the officer!
Soon we were taken to a very empty auditorium.
On the podium in the auditorium stood General Jefferson, along with a dozen officers and soldiers.
Jefferson said, "Kids! Welcome to the CIA! Congratulations on joining CAI! However, in order for you to become a qualified CIA, you must go through rigorous training and testing! Now, you leave all the extra things such as ID cards and passports to us, and we will take care of them for you! Now, like soldiers, you have lost your freedom of movement! When you are free again, we will return these pieces of paper to you! ”
Then, several officers came down from the stage and took our ID cards and passports from among us.
Jefferson said, "Good! Now, we're going to get rid of all the dirt from you! Fast! Go to the burning stoves behind you and throw all the dirt you have taken off into the stoves! Then, you go shave your heads and take a shower! Make a good use of soap and get rid of the monkey smell from you! Then, you go for a medical check-up, ****, and finally, they'll make you wear the CIA uniform you've ever dreamed of! All right! Hurry up and get to work! ”
The officers and soldiers were amused by Jefferson's words!
So, a dozen of us turned around and walked to the side of a few stoves, and we quickly took off our body things, and all of a sudden we were all bare!
Then we threw our costumes and shoes into the fire and burned them!
Then, we ran naked to the shaving area in the auditorium to shave our heads!
After that, we went to the shower by the wall and took a desperate bath with soap!
After taking a shower and drying ourselves, we went to the medical examination to take pictures, get fingerprints, and do a simple medical check-up!
Finally, they put on uniforms and leather shoes.
Then, we were taken to an office, filled out various forms, and signed all kinds of selling papers!
That's it, this unforgettable check-in process is over!
But in the process, because Ah Fu felt shy and slow, they were beaten and scolded by several superiors!
And Jefferson and a few other officers got a burst of sadistic comedy laughs because of our embarrassment and burlesque!
Alas, I feel that they are all some very vulgar savages!
Moreover, their way of life is very depraved and boring!
.....
At 11 o'clock in the morning, the formalities for more than a dozen of us were finally completed.
We did join the CIA, and we all got our official CIA noncommissioned officer certificates.
Then, several guards took us back to our original barracks.
Back in the barracks, everyone gathered to look at their newly acquired documents.
The certificate shows:
I am 1.83 meters tall, weigh 62 kilograms, rank captain, Chinese name: Zhou Zilong, English name: Jack.Job.
Xiaoda is 1.78 meters tall, weighs 65 kilograms, ranks lieutenant, Chinese name: Zhou Zisheng, English name: Tom.Job.
Zhou Xiaoming is 1.75 meters tall, weighs 60 kilograms, and ranks as a second lieutenant, Chinese name: Zhou Ziming, English name: Lock.Job.
Du Wentao is 1.75 meters tall, weighs 65 kilograms, and holds the rank of second lieutenant, Chinese name: Du Wentao, English name: Vi
so
. Doo
。
Ah Fu and several of them are about 1.65 meters tall, and their military ranks are all sergeant to private.
Ah Fu said: "Alas! The four of you are better suited to be a CIA! You have combat experience, so your rank is higher than ours! In the future, you will all be official materials! ”
Xiaoda said: "Alas! These false names are useless! In the future, let's think about how to do business! Making money is the last word! ”
Everyone laughed!
At noon, a few soldiers brought us boxed lunches, beer, and playing cards.
After eating, everyone started drinking beer and playing cards!
......
At 6 p.m., in the courtyard, we lined up with the retreating people here!
Then, with the freshly received new bags on board a big truck, we left the yard and headed to a military dock to board the ship.
......
At around 8 p.m., we were put on a large troop carrier!
The ship was huge, and it should have passed by, because there were already more than a thousand Allied officers and soldiers who had retreated from Vietnam.
On the way to the dormitory, we saw that the ship has very complete facilities, including a canteen, a café, a shop, a basketball court, a swimming pool, a gym, a billiard room, a bar, a cinema, etc., and these services are free for the officers and soldiers!
The deck on the ship is wide, and there are two helicopters parked on the deck!
There were thirteen of us and Ah Fu, and we, as Vietnamese officers and soldiers, were assigned to live in a large suite with bunk beds.
The room has a separate toilet and shower room, and is fully equipped with daily necessities.
It's the same as staying in a hotel, and every day there are service staff cleaning the room and changing the sheets!
Therefore, we feel that we should enjoy living here very much, and it is very comfortable!
We had just settled into our dormitory when a major officer came to our dormitory.
The major officer asked me to follow him to General Jefferson's office.
When I got to Jefferson's office, I met with Major General Jefferson.
Beside Jefferson, there was also an Asian man in his mid-twenties, who was a captain officer.
After everyone had saluted each other, Jefferson introduced me to the major officer who had brought me, and the captain officer, and introduced me to them.
The major's officer's name is Chris, a man in his thirties, tall and thin, who looks very cold!
The captain's name is Wu Lianjun, a Taiwanese Vietnam War company commander, about 1.75 meters, smiling, not looking like a soldier, much like a civilian!
After the introduction, we sat on the couch and talked over coffee.
Jefferson said, "All right! Our long journey at sea is about to begin! This time we passed through Kaohsiung, Guam and Hawaii before arriving in San Francisco! At the port of Kaohsiung, there will be dozens of new trainees from Taiwan, Japan and South Korea on board! Then, you will form an Asian training class! Now, I appoint Captain Wu Lianjun as the leader of the Asian squad! Captain Jack serves as the deputy squad leader of the Asian squad! My assistant, Major Chris, is my liaison officer with you! In the future, you can manage yourselves and don't give me too much trouble! Otherwise, I'll drive you all out to sea and feed the fish! ”
Everyone applauded and laughed!
After the conversation, Jefferson asked Wu Lianjun to move into our dormitory, and he asked us to communicate well and cooperate with each other.
We saluted goodbye and left Jefferson's office.
Captain Wu and I went to his dormitory to get his luggage and belongings.
Then, I took Wu Lianjun to our dormitory to stay.
When we arrived at the dormitory, Captain Wu found an empty bunk, and after putting away his luggage, he went to bed and went to sleep with his head covered!
Because, Ah Fu and the nine of them are playing cards, smoking cigarettes and beer!
To be honest, we don't want to live with Ah Fu and these people!
I suddenly felt that it was not easy to be the vice president of this Asian class!
But I guess this should be a test for Jefferson!
