Chapter Eighty-Five: 911 and War
A year later, on September 11.
"Hey, Chen. We're finally getting to the end of our damn theory. Look at it, I'm definitely better than you in the air! I don't know how you've always been number one. ”
White sat on the dorm room couch, holding a bottle of beer. Said happily.
In the past year, Chen Ming and his beach park band have become more and more famous. White borrowed a few people from his dad and took charge of the operation. Now that they have their own online ticketing channels, their fame is not limited to one place in Pensacola.
They made a travel recommendation in Florida and released their own record. Chen Ming, as the lead singer of the band and almost all the songwriters, made a lot of profits after obtaining the approval of the embassy.
Solved the economic problem, and even a little rich. Chen Ming has a lot of time to soak in the library, and theoretical learning is Chen Ming's strength, so it is naturally not an incomprehensible thing to have good grades.
There is also a lot of good news in China, Zheng Yuanhai went to the Naval Academy to study for graduate school, and Chen Jianjun also returned to the Dongjiang base as a deputy captain after graduation. Lu Huaicheng's commander is also doing a very good job, but his blood pressure seems to be on the rise recently.
Chen Ming also wrote a lot of songs to Huang Huai this year, and the General Political Art Troupe also came forward to send records to Huang Huai. I heard that in another year, Huang Huai's professional and technical level will also be raised.
"White, I think you should think about where you're going to be sent this time?"
The situation is very good, and Chen Ming is also willing to give himself a holiday today and take a salted fish. In a month's time, they will be sent out for the second time, and when they come back, they will be able to get into the trainer plane and actually take to the skies.
Pensacola Naval Air Station has a tradition of all cadets, whether they are flying majors or land commanders or ships or the like. Every school year, they will be sent out for a few months of practical training.
"As long as you don't go to Africa, you can go anywhere. When I finally got out of the camp gate, it was full of, and there was no security at all. You can't imagine how I survived those three months! ”
"If White is a spy, as long as the CIA people don't touch a woman for White, he can recruit anything!"
John burst out with a remark that made everyone in the party burst into laughter.
For more than a year, John and White, the two enemies, would find it strange if they didn't say a word to each other. Even the racist word "" has now become John's code name or endearment.
"Hey, guys. I think you should stop. ”
In the midst of the fighting, the Mafo suddenly saw a sudden change in the TV screen. Urgent news?
When everyone heard Ma Fu's words, they also stopped playing and quietly turned their eyes to the TV. Generally, when you encounter an emergency news on TV, something must have happened, and everyone holds their breath.
"Onishet!"
I saw a passenger plane crashing into One and Two World Trade Center on TV. After connecting with Washington, another one crashed into the Pentagon.
Chen Ming was also stunned. He never thought that the famous 9.11 incident in his previous life would actually happen in the world of film and television dramas.
Looking at the picture of the collapse of the World Trade Center building on the TV screen, listening to the exclamations coming from the TV and the exclamations of his companions in his ears, Chen Ming's heartbeat couldn't help but beat faster in such an atmosphere.
Regardless of the country's political decisions, the majority of the population is innocent. Over the course of the year, Chen Ming has seen many visitors from all over the world who come to Pensacola to listen to their performances, including New Yorkers and Washingtonians. The laughter of everyone gathering together in my head and the exclamations on the TV collided.
Chen Ming felt his pupils slowly expand, and the picture on the TV in front of him slowly became blurry.
"Guys, the war is coming!"
"it!"
"Kill these blue pools!"
Hearing Chen Ming's murmur, everyone was quiet for a moment. Then a burst of angry scolding rang out.
"White, call your dad and make sure your family is safe. And if you have family members in Washington or New York, hurry up and check the situation. ”
Chen Ming stopped their noise and made a decisive arrangement.
This year, Chen Ming has the best grades, the highest military rank, and can make money with them through the band. They had already tacitly acquiesced that Chen Ming was their head, and after hearing Chen Ming's words at this time, they took action one after another.
"Next, all we can do is wait quietly and prepare for war. During this time, call your family more often, and if you want to take snacks and drinks to the war zone, you can buy them in advance. ”
After confirming that the brothers' families are fine, Chen Ming said.
After the brothers went out to shop, Chen Ming returned to the room alone and took out the mobile phone he had just bought and called the embassy to ask about his arrangements.
He didn't know if a foreign student like himself, who had hidden his identity, could participate in this Bald Eagle military operation. Even if war has not yet been declared, since 9/11 has appeared, the future Aforhan War will definitely not be able to run.
Major General Zhang of the embassy told Chen Ming that his current identity was not worth disclosing and that he would definitely gain more from participating in the actual combat of the Bald Eagle army than usual.
However, he must pay attention to his own safety, and if the mission is too dangerous, he can choose to abandon the mission and contact the embassy. The embassy will arrange for him to be sent back to his home country.
After receiving the country's reply, Chen Ming's heart warmed. Even if the motherland is not rich and powerful now, it is stable and peaceful, and the motherland attaches more importance to the personal property security of its citizens than any other country.
Chen Ming hung up the phone, sat quietly on the sofa, and watched the continuous reports on the TV in a silent daze.
The facts did not surprise Chen Ming.
This month, classes at the Pensacola Naval Air Station are still going on as normal, but the atmosphere is very solemn.
When President Bald Eagle made a declaration of war against al-Qaeda on television, Chen Ming and his group of cadets were also assembled on the playground.
"Gentlemen. I believe that you have all seen the declaration of war by Mr. President the day before yesterday. ”
A major general with two generals on his shoulders stood on a makeshift rostrum and spoke.
"It just so happens that today is the day of the annual overseas training. Unlike in the past, today I bring you all together. This time you will all go to the front line of the battle. As Bald Eagle naval officers, go and pour out the wrath of the Bald Eagle people on those damned terrorists! ”
"And, of course, dear Marine officers."
The principal's words immediately caused laughter in the audience. Bald Eagle's Marine Corps and Navy are two branches of the military. Although the two are closely related, the Navy is at the top of the chain of contempt of the Bald Eagle Army, while the Marine Corps is at the bottom, and despises the Navy for spending huge sums of money on military without a real man.
Well, there is also a National Guard that belongs to their common object of contempt.
"Marine Corps officers, your mission is to lead your soldiers to victory as a trainee platoon leader!"
··············
··············
"Navy flight officers, the third and fourth stage cadets participate in the battle as fighter pilots, and the information about the air force to which you belong will be sent to your computer. The first and second stage trainees, your task is to be responsible for the dispatch and dispatch of fighters. ”
"Bless you guys. Boys, victory will surely belong to the Bald Eagle! ”
