Chapter 5: The Past

"Report!"

"Please come in."

Chen Ming pushed open the door and walked into Yuan Lang's office.

It seems to be waiting for him deliberately, and there is no one else in the office.

"Sit down, what to drink? Forget it, there's only plain water here. With that, Yuan Lang poured a glass of water and put it in front of Chen Ming.

"Thank you."

Neither of them spoke, Yuan Lang looked at Chen Ming, and Chen Ming looked down at the water in the water cup in his hand.

"Why don't you want to join Team A?"

After being silent for a while, Yuan Lang asked.

Although it is said that every member of the training team is a person who he and the iron brigade have worked hard to dig from various units. But this kid in front of him.

From the beginning, he was found in the army's household registration file, a cadet who was about to graduate, but was still underage, and attracted Yuan Lang's attention. After seeing his training results and academic results, he called someone.

originally wanted this guy to join the selection, but he didn't expect that a cadet who had not yet graduated from the undergraduate degree would be bitten to death by the navy and the naval academy.

Although good grades don't mean anything, people with good grades are often either people with good brains or people who are willing to work hard with great perseverance. And Chen Ming's age is all revealed, and this guy's learning process of triple jump all the way.

The fierce reaction of the navy made Yuan Lang more and more curious.

Thinking that when Wu Zhe was dug up, he just let Long Baichuan and Wuhan Iron and Steel of the Marine Corps blow up their hair, and in the final analysis, they were also two regiment-level cadres. And digging this kid in front of him, he asked a major general dean of the regular army level and a lieutenant general deputy commander to call and scold people in person.

This abnormal behavior, Yuan Lang was submissive on the surface. Hung up the phone, his eyes shining with excitement and punching hard.

After listening to Yuan Lang's description, the Iron Brigade also became interested.

In the end, the old leader of the Iron Brigade, an old man who is now serving at the headquarters, was invited to come forward. reluctantly seconded the kid in front of him.

The selection was also missed, but the three-month intensive training was down. This kid's performance, although not earth-shattering, is an excellent score in all subjects, the maintenance of his comrades when Takunaga just quits, and some slightly out-of-the-box behaviors and words from time to time.

Yuan Lang didn't want to let him go.

Maybe he can't become the king of soldiers, but balanced development, maintenance of his comrades-in-arms, and out-of-the-box thinking. This is the seedling of an excellent special operations officer.

"Perhaps, I don't want to do it."

Chen Ming paused and spoke.

"Originally, I joined the army just for my father."

"I've seen your file, and your father was also a navy. Was it influenced by him? Yuan Lang looked at Chen Ming and said, he thought that Chen Ming only had a deeper affection for the Navy because of his father's influence.

"Sort of. You know, I studied music, and it's not an exaggeration to say that I can create a lot of songs or something in the future, not to mention being rich and expensive, at least worry-free about food and clothing. Chen Ming said this with great confidence, after all, the huge library of works in his previous life was all his reliance.

Yuan Lang nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"My mom and dad were very nice to me. When they were young, they wanted to learn music, and they begged people everywhere to find a teacher. In the beginning, my family's monthly income was only more than 100 yuan, and they were stunned to come up with 60 yuan to let me take classes four times a month. Chen Ming silently recalled.

In his previous life, in an orphanage, Chen Ming was the kind of child who made people worry. Don't cry or make trouble, the grades are not particularly outstanding, but they are also excellent. In this way, the only thing you get is fairness.

No one had ever treated him like that. Support him so unconditionally.

This does not blame the old dean, a septuagenarian who raised twenty or so children alone, and his love for everyone is fair. Limited conditions made Chen Ming have to go into society alone after completing junior high school.

When he first came out of the orphanage, he also vowed to mix up his personal appearance so that he could repay the old dean and the orphanage who raised him. But the ideal plumpness has slowly fallen in front of the bony feeling of reality.

In a society where undergraduates are everywhere, Chen Ming, who graduated from junior high school, can only do some particularly alternative and low-tech jobs. This also means that limited income.

More than 80% of the monthly salary is used to solve the problem of survival. I have accumulated a little bit of extra bits and pieces, and I want to learn a little technology.

For this reason, I worked two jobs a day, and with a little extra time, I bought online classes on a second-hand computer, and watched and studied silently in a small rental house in the early morning.

I haven't had time to see the old dean.

At that time, looking at his peers on the street, Chen Ming was very envious of them.

At that time, Chen Ming was also afraid to go near the school.

Envy the Nike Adi they are wearing, envy their worry-free food and clothing, and envy that they can enrich their brains unscrupulously.

But there is no way to say these words.

"My dad used to be the captain of the Red Far. When I was a child, there was an accident. Let's go. ”

"To conquer an uncharted sea." Chen Ming paused, thinking back on what he had learned in the two years of the Naval Academy and the information he had consulted.

"What shall I say? The significance of that sea area to the coastal defense of the Navy's Southeast Fleet is similar to the significance of the Zonggu Strait, which now restricts the Navy from moving from a green-water navy to a blue-water navy. ”

"You go on."

Although Yuan Lang is an officer of the army, he also has a general understanding of the current development of the country's navy. I only know that Chen Ming's father is a martyr in the navy, but the specific reason is not in the file.

"There were a lot of casualties on board. My dad was a navigator, and he pointed out the route. At that time, our family lived in the military family house at the base, and the neighbors around us were also military dependents. Chen Ming paused again, he rarely said so many words, especially these memories, which were not good.

"Although the country has recognized the martyrs, there will be some gossip to some extent."

Chen Ming wanted to be as relaxed as possible, but the reality was often crueler than any literary work. He still remembers that when his mother came back from going out to buy vegetables, she had vegetable leaves in her hair and sat on a stool crying silently.

These were all watched by the young but old Chen Ming behind the door. Orphans may have low self-esteem, but they are often more sensitive than ordinary people.
