Bao Guanhua and Zhu Qingying quietly took a few steps back from the window and walked a little farther, Zhu Qingying asked, "It's always like this?" ”

"It's been like this, it's been like this for half a month, it's been like this, I've been reading the military oath. Wake up normally, eat normally, go to bed normally, but he doesn't do anything but read the military oath. Bao Guanhua sighed deeply and said, "Captain Zhu, will he ...... in spirit?"

"No, it won't." Zhu Qingying shook her head decisively and said.

Bao Guanhua said, "The investigation team is also here today, Captain Zhu, you should call him out first, and the investigation team will conduct an investigation." No one can call him, and if he is called again, he will beat someone, and if he really beats him, he will be killed. There was no way to call his master, and his master said that you have a way, and you have no choice but to invite you all the way over. ”

"Okay, I'll go tell you."

Zhu Qingying turned around and walked towards Li Zhan's office, pushed the door directly and walked in, and said to Li Zhan, "Li Zhan, the investigation team wants to investigate the matter of your brigade commander, whether it is a sacrifice or an accident, the investigation team has to draw conclusions." ”

"Where?" Li Zhan put down the soldier's manual, got up suddenly, and asked.

"The commissar is waiting for you outside."

Li Zhan strode out without saying a word, without even looking at Zhu Qingying. However, Zhu Qingying breathed a heavy sigh of relief, which showed that Li Zhan was completely fine.

"Li Zhan." Seeing Li Zhan come out, Bao Guanhua was surprised, what Liu Guojian said was true, his senior sister really had a way.

Li Zhan came over and asked, "Political commissar, where is the investigation team, the brigade commander was sacrificed." ”

"Yes, yes. in the conference room. ”

"Let's go."

Instead, Bao Guanhua trotted to follow, and Li Zhan walked very fast.

The atmosphere in the conference room was very solemn, the leaders of the base and the 101st Brigade sat on one side, and the investigation team from the higher authorities sat on the other side, and everyone's expressions were very serious. Xue Xiangdong's posthumous affairs have been dealt with, but how his death should be characterized, the situation is not very clear, and the investigation team is going to do it.

Bao Guanhua came in ahead of Li Zhan and saluted Liang Pengfei and Director Lin, the leader of the investigation team.

Once seated, the meeting begins.

Zhu Qingying came along, but she didn't go in, but stood in the corridor outside and waited. In the distance, a Gulfstream G550 business jet was parked in front of the repair shop, and Zhu Qingying's crew was busy with the ground crew officers and soldiers there.

She flew here by plane, applied for permission from the air force air traffic control department, and flew directly from Xiahai City to the Beiku combat training base, and the whole process took only three and a half hours, and it took only four hours from the time she received Bao Guanhua's phone call to the time she appeared at the Beiku combat training base.

She didn't know the specific situation very well, Bao Guanhua's words just let her know that Li Zhan's brigade commander died in the cockpit, and Li Zhan was greatly hit and had some abnormal behaviors. However, Master Liu Guojian did not call her specifically about this matter, which shows that things are not as bad as imagined.

According to her observations, Li Zhan had accepted the fact of Xue Xiangdong's sacrifice, provided that the ongoing investigative meeting was characterized as a sacrifice.

Otherwise, Zhu Qingying would be a little worried.

In the conference room, Director Lin said, "Comrade Bao Guanhua, you knew about Xue Xiangdong's condition in advance, is it true?" ”

Bao Guanhua replied, "It's true, and I'm the only one who knows about his condition." ”

"Why hide it?" Director Lin asked.

Bao Guanhua replied, "Lao Xue won't let me say it." ”

There was silence for half a minute.

Director Lin asked, "Why did you allow him to participate in the flight when you knew that he was seriously ill?" Commander Liang, can you explain? ”

Liang Pengfei replied, "I approved it, and I am willing to take responsibility." ”

There was silence for another half minute.

Director Lin said, "The military commander is seriously ill, and you, as the political commissar, not only did not report it, but also assisted in concealing it. Comrade Bao Guanhua, you have to be responsible. ”

"Yes, I am willing to take all the responsibility, and I am willing to accept any punishment." Bao Guanhua's tone was very crisp and neat, and when he remembered the last long talk with Xue Xiangdong, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

The night before going to Shenyang to pick up the load.

It was late at night, and the lights were on in the brigade commander's office.

Bao Guanhua sat there with a cigarette between his fingers, the ashtray on the coffee table in front of him was full of cigarette butts, and looked gloomily at Xue Xiangdong, who was sitting opposite him with a smile.

"I don't know at home?"

"Well, there are only a few days left, so there's no need for them to worry."

"Even if there is a glimmer of hope, you can't give up, go directly to the main hospital, and don't give up."

"Do you want to end your life in one night? Old bag, I don't want to die like this. ”

"But you have to think about your family."

"I'm already ashamed, no matter what I do with the rest of the time, I can't make up for the regrets, and it's better to be neat than everyone is miserable. Old bag, I'm a fighter pilot. ”

Bao Guanhua was silent.

Xue Xiangdong sighed, "I've been examining myself these days. What have you done for most of your life, what can you leave behind, and what is the meaning of life. In the past, I always felt that you were very annoying, opening your mouth and closing your mouth is empty talk, this doctrine and that spirit, what is ism, ammunition is ism, what is spirit, dare to fight and win is spirit. What's the use of you talking about that every day? Now think about the superficial person who is me, and you are right. ”

"You are the military commander, I am the political commander, and the focus is not necessarily. When it comes to fighting a war, I can't add up to one of you, and when it comes to political work, you're a cow, and you can't understand the elegance of the strings. ”

"Hahaha, yes, yes, that's right. Hey, it's really reluctant to think that I won't be able to hear your crooked voice in the future. I can't bear it, I can't bear the good era of the army, I can't bear those stinky boys, and I can't bear my wife and children. ”

"Then don't give up, now that medical science is developed, everything is possible. Haven't you always believed that anything is possible? ”

"There's no need to waste medical resources. I can't wait for me to die without a few millions, so why is the military budget so tight. I know my situation. Old bag, I beg you something. ”

"You say."

After explaining what happened, Bao Guanhua endured the strong sourness of his nose.

Xue Xiangdong said, "I want to fly again." ”

"Nope." Bao Guanhua shook his head and refused, "I'm going to report to the top tomorrow." ”

"Old Bao, listen to me." Xue Xiangdong said in a deep voice, "I want to go happily, this is the last thing I ask you for." ”

Bao Guanhua felt very uncomfortable.

……

Director Lin said, "Comrade Xue Xiangdong concealed the facts to carry out the installation flight mission knowing that his physical condition did not allow it, and Comrade Bao Guanhua assisted in concealing the facts, which led to the occurrence of this major safety accident. Commander Liang, this is the preliminary conclusion of the investigation team. ”

"Is it a sacrifice?" Li Zhan asked coldly.

Director Lin said, "Of course not, not only not, but also to be held accountable." ”

Zhu Qingying, who was outside, heard the sound of quarrels and broken glasses in the conference room, so she couldn't help but show a mysterious smile.

After a while, Bao Guanhua pulled Li Zhan out with a pull, "What are you doing, that's the deputy military-level director, do you know it!" ”

Li Zhan broke free from Bao Guanhua's pull and pointed to the conference room and scolded: "I saw you hit you once!" ”

Bao Guanhua was frightened, he didn't have the heart to pay attention to Zhu Qingying's presence at all, and dragged Li Zhan to his office, and some staff officers from other offices ran out and looked at him in surprise. Bao Guanhua shouted and beckoned people to come, "What are you doing in a daze!" Come and help! ”

The staff officers rushed over and rushed directly to the conference room.

Bao Guanhua was furious and shouted, "Come here and drag Li Zhan away, what are you doing!" ”

Commander Liang blocked the door of the conference room with a cold face, and the young staff officers looked in coldly, and finally turned around and ran to Bao Guanhua's side to drag Li Zhan into his own office with him. Li Zhan was still struggling, Bao Guanhua was on fire, and he was tied up with a backpack rope, and two reliable political officials were arranged to guard the door. It only took two minutes to do that.

Zhu Qingying stood in the corridor with a normal expression, without the curiosity of the audience or the worries of insiders, as if everything was happening logically.

Not long after, several doctors and nurses from the aviation medical room came over in a field ambulance, ran upstairs with a medicine box, ran hurriedly along the corridor, passed Zhu Qingying and went straight into the conference room.

About five minutes later, Zhu Qingying saw Commander Liang walking out with Director Lin, who had a standard head bandage, and two political work officers supported him. When he walked past Zhu Qingying, Director Lin was obviously stunned when he saw Zhu Qingying, who was dressed in civilian clothes.

He was angry, and he became more and more unhappy when he saw a civilian officer appear in the hearts of the troops.

However, Commander Liang rushed ahead and said, "This is Li Zhan's senior sister and Liu Guojian's eldest disciple." Director Lin, first go to the aviation medical office for further examination, and his health is critical. ”

Hearing the name Liu Guojian, Director Lin couldn't bear his unhappiness, and after glancing at Zhu Qingying coldly, he gritted his teeth and was helped downstairs to the ambulance.

Zhu Qingying smiled slightly, and then walked towards the office where Li Zhan was held. Bao Guanhua was persuading Li Zhan, and when he saw Zhu Qingying coming, he suddenly seemed to see a savior, "Captain Zhu, you can be regarded as coming." ”

Come on, I was standing in the hallway, but none of you had the heart to pay attention to your surroundings.

"Captain Zhu, come and persuade him, he's in a big trouble!" Bao Guanhua said bitterly.

Zhu Qingying said with a smile, "To be punished heavily, it is best to drive him away, this person is not suitable to be a soldier." ”

"Captain Zhu, you ...... this" Bao Guanhua said in surprise, he couldn't tell whether Zhu Qingying was saying the right thing or the other was wrong, in short, he felt wrong when he heard it.

Zhu Qingying said, "Political Commissar Bao, you should go first, I will persuade him." ”

"Okay, I'll leave everything to Captain Zhu." Bao Guanhua was very polite to Zhu Qingying, not only because she was Li Zhan's senior sister and Liu Guojian's eldest disciple, but also because Zhu Qingying drove an active Gulfstream G550 business jet.

Bao Guanhua left, and there were still two political officials guarding the door outside.

Zhu Qingying pulled out the dagger she was carrying with her and took the backpack rope that was tied to Li Zhan's body a few times.

"This is my backpack rope, what are you cutting it for?" Li Zhan frowned, "Senior sister, when did you come here?" Master asked you to come? ”

Zhu Qingying said, "Untying it with your hands looks ambiguous." You've got a water cup smashing someone again? ”

"That fool is going to die accidentally, saying that he can only be a martyr in the line of duty, and I'm going to fuck lightly." Li Zhan scolded angrily.

Zhu Qingying said, "Then you still use a water cup, what about your gun?" ”

"I let people give it that day." Li Zhan said with a sigh.

Zhu Qingying asked, "What is going on with Brigade Commander Xue, how can he ...... in the sky?"

"Brain cancer, advanced." Li Zhan said.

"Then ...... he" Zhu Qingying paused suddenly, and said with emotion, "Master is also such a person, if he wants to die, he will definitely choose to die in heaven." It is difficult for us to fully understand the spiritual and ideological world of their generation. ”

Li Zhan said, "The brigade commander is a martyr. ”

Zhu Qingying said, "You take care of yourself first, it's quite a big person and you still fight, a big person can't run, you see, this is the price of impulse." ”

"I'm annoyed, I'm going to quit." Li Zhan said.

Zhu Qingying smiled, "Don't talk angry. But this is also a choice, civil aircraft can also be driven, don't you like trolley fees, civil aviation can earn more. How about it, if you are interested, I can arrange it for you. ”

"Not interested." Li Zhan said, "The airliner is driven by a girl, I am a man, and if you want to drive it, you will fight the most powerful enemy." ”

Zhu Qingying spread her hands and said, "So you can't do without military aircraft in your life, so you are still so impulsive?" The picture is quick for a while, and the result is that a bunch of people are affected by you. ”

Li Zhan was silent.

"You didn't come to see me, did you?" Li Zhan suddenly asked.

Zhu Qingying smiled and said, "Do you think it's possible?" I'm going to take a trip to Heikerot, so I'll make a stop here and see how you're doing. It's okay now, you're normal, I'll leave in a moment. ”

"In such a hurry?"

Zhu Qingying nodded, "Do you remember the precepts of the old army?" ”

They said in unison, "Defend the motherland to the death!" ”

"I'll say more." Zhu Qingying said solemnly, "Brigade Commander Xue must have said something to you before he died, Li Zhan, doing things well in the future is the most important thing, and Brigade Commander Xue must also hope that you will continue to move forward bravely, instead of being depressed and behaving abnormally and losing your spirit." ”

Li Zhan lowered his head, "I understand." ”

Xue Xiangdong was most worried about the 101st Brigade, the unit he couldn't wait to put everything into. Taking advantage of this good era, he should have been able to show his strength, but unfortunately God didn't give him this time, and even deprived him of the time he deserved.

Bring up the Eagle Falcon Brigade and the 101st Brigade, defeat all the invading Red Army units, and do all the work to the forefront of the aviation units of the whole army.

"I know what to do." Li Zhan said again.

Zhu Qingying said, "Isn't blood spilling the sky the best place to belong to the pride of the sky?" ”

"Yes."

Zhu Qingying said, "Your political commissar came back to apologize for me, and I will leave." ”

"Okay."

Zhu Qingying came and went with a gust of wind, and few people even knew about the landing and takeoff of the Gulfstream G550 at the Beiku Combat Training Base, and the personnel on duty at the tower also received a gag order.

Soon, Li Zhan lit a cigarette and walked out, and the political work officer at the door looked at Li Zhan in embarrassment, and then let go of the door. Li Zhan walked out but didn't go far, but stood in front of the corridor guardrail and looked out at the outfield. A gray-and-white Gulfstream G550 long-range business jet slid off and quickly disappeared behind the thin clouds.

Yes, in many unknown places, there are countless people who are silently striving for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. There is no right to grieve, and even if there is, it should be short-lived.

Li Zhan spat out a puff of cigarette heavily.

I will defend the motherland without me!
