Chapter 617: Wang Hua and Ye Jie
After three gunshots, all the personnel took off their hats and observed a moment of silence.
Zheng Jiang, Xia Yang, and Zhang Guodong walked to the front in turn to express their painful remembrances.
The whole memorial process went smoothly, and there was no fluctuation in Yulin Bay. These sacrificed soldiers can receive such honors, and their families and the residents of Yulin Bay feel that it is enough.
But there is one person who feels that it is not enough, and that is Wang Hua.
After Wang Hua returned to the military academy after attending the memorial ceremony, he immediately sent someone to find the vice principal of the military academy and He Jiong.
This vice principal's name is Fei Lingpeng, a native of the Ming Dynasty, who has been following Wang Hua since the day the military academy was established, and is currently also a lieutenant colonel. It is said that when he was born, his father asked someone to calculate the hexagram, saying that he lacked water in the five elements, so he gave this name.
"Vice Principal Fei." Wang Hua sat behind his desk and asked, "You also participated in the memorial ceremony, are you satisfied?" ”
Fei Lingpeng was a little stupid and didn't know how to answer. This memorial ceremony was arranged by the Military Commission, and both the chairman and the chairman of the committee made speeches, and who dared to say that they were not satisfied. But listening to the principal's meaning, it seems that he is not satisfied.
"Headmaster, the subordinates are still satisfied with the memorial ceremony." After Fei Lingpeng finished speaking, he explained, "This is the arrangement of the Military Commission, and my subordinates dare not be dissatisfied." ”
"Vice Minister He, are you satisfied?" Wang Hua asked He Jiong again.
He Jiong's relationship with Wang Hua is much closer than Fei Lingpeng's, so he naturally knows what Wang Hua means: "Back to the principal, my subordinates are not satisfied." ”
"Oh." Wang Hua smiled, "Why are you not satisfied." ”
He Jiong stood straight: "Principal, although his subordinates are now the deputy ministers of security, his subordinates will always be the people of the Second General Affairs Department of the Military Academy, and the hearts of his subordinates are in the military academy and the principal." In this battle to defend Lushun, more than 100 children were sacrificed in the independent battalion of our military academy, which were all seedlings of our Yulin Army and the efforts of the principal. Now that they are being commemorated with other martyrs, their subordinates know that the Military Commission has the consideration of the Military Commission, but their subordinates feel uncomfortable. ”
"I'm not satisfied either." Wang Hua pointed at He Jiong and Fei Lingpeng and said, "These children are all from our military academy, and they are all grown up by you and me. Now I am very uncomfortable to pay tribute to them with those martyrs. ”
"Headmaster." Fei Lingpeng was about to say something, but was interrupted by Wang Hua, "Vice Principal Fei, you go and arrange it." Let's pay tribute to these children individually, and I want everyone to know that they are my children, the children of my Yulin Bay Military Academy, and we will never forget them. ”
"Yes, Headmaster." Fei Lingpeng didn't dare to say anything more, "My subordinates will arrange it immediately." ”
"But the headmaster." Fei Lingpeng asked again, "Do your subordinates need to say hello to Chairman Zheng and Chairman Zhang?" ”
"Vice Principal Fei, didn't you understand what the principal said?" He Jiong first said, "Those children are the children of our military academy and the children of the principal, if the military commission does not agree, we will not pay tribute." ”
Wang Hua stopped He Jiong's shouting: "It's right to say hello, but you can also tell the two chairmen, whether the Military Commission agrees or not, our military academy must pay a separate memorial." Also, you go and arrange to allocate a part of the money from the military academy funds to the families of these children. And tell them that if the family and brothers of the martyrs want to enter the military academy, we will accept all of them without restrictions. ”
The memorial service of the Yulin Bay Military Academy was held three days later, and the incense case was once again placed outside the Martyrs' Shrine, and more than 100 tablets were displayed behind the incense case. The more than 400 cadets of the Yulin Bay Military Academy, including the children of the junior class and Zheng Chenggong, stood solemnly and quietly in front of the Martyrs' Shrine, and behind them were the families of nearly 1,000 martyrs.
Behind Wang Hua were all the senior military officers at home, Zheng Jiang and Zhang Guodong stood first. In response to Wang Hua's request, the Central Military Commission could not say anything, and could only make a resolution, and all officers at and above the colonel level should participate in the commemoration.
With tears in his eyes, Wang Hua finished reading the memorial text drafted by Lu Tianxiang, which Wang Hua personally went to ask Lu Lao to write. Wang Hua has traveled over for ten years, but he has never been married, let alone has no children of his own, he has already regarded these children in the military academy as his own children.
Ye Zhan walked up the second and unfolded the vernacular sacrifice written by Xu Lang:
"Brothers and soldiers of Yulinwan Military Academy,
You may all know me and know me. Yes, my name is Ye Zhan, and I am the colonel and deputy division commander of our Yulin Army, but I am also your brother and alumnus. I also spent time in a military academy and was trained in a military school. Not only me, but Chief Xu Tianbin also worked as a student of the military academy.
Yulin Bay Military Academy has given me the most enjoyable and meaningful time of my life, and I have learned a lot here. It's not just how to fight, it's more important to know why to fight. For the sake of brothers, for the sake of the country and the nation, for the sake of freedom, we must fight.
More than 100 brothers are buried in the ground, we are saddened, but the sadness is not all, we must inherit their legacy, but also work hard for their unfinished business.
I hadn't been to school for a few days, and I wouldn't say much. But brothers, for the sake of the martyrs, for the sake of our school motto of 'dear and sincere', work hard! ”
As soon as Ye Zhan's words fell, there was a shout from the audience: "Work hard, dear and sincere!" ”
Wang Hua's commemoration achieved unexpected results, and a large number of children rushed to apply for the Yulinwan Military Academy.
Xu Lang came home from work, and it was not Qingwen and Musk Yue who came out, but the three brothers of the Ye family and their daughter-in-law.
"How can you come together?" Xu Lang knew that the three brothers were very busy now, and it was difficult for them to have time to get together.
"Mr. Xu, it's not just us coming, look at who else is coming." Bihe pulled a person from behind, it was Ye Jie, the sister of the three brothers.
"Miss Ye." Xu Lang gave a salute, Ye Jie came to the Xu family for the first time, "Why do you have time to come here, your parents are okay." ”
Ye Jie lowered her head shyly and didn't speak, and Ziyun shouted from behind: "Mr. Xu, don't ask so much first." Sister Yiyi and Sister Zhiruo will be back in a while, and we will have a drink with Mr. Xu today. ”
"That's better." Xu Lang rubbed his hands, "Ye Li, this is what your daughter-in-law said, don't pull her as a son-in-law, how can you say that she is also my daughter, and she will not return home if she is not drunk tonight." ”
Ye Yan secretly dragged Xu Lang: "Mr. Xu, is Gao Chen busy now, why don't I go and call him too?" ”
Xu Lang didn't think much about it: "He shouldn't be busy today, and he and Ye Zhan haven't seen each other for a long time, you go and call him." ”
Ye Yan went out, Xu Lang turned his head and shouted: "Mingyan, Qingwen, go to the restaurant to order a few dishes, we have guests here tonight." ”
"No, no." Bihe and Ziyun shouted together, "We've all brought it, how can we go back to my parents' house without bringing things." ”
Xu Lang suddenly felt a little emotional: "I'd rather you go back to your parents' house every day without bringing anything." ”
While talking, Lu Tianxiang and his wife, Chen and Si Qinmo also returned. As soon as Siqin Mohua saw Bihe and Ziyun, he ran up and grabbed his hand and shouted, "Sister, sister, why are you free to come back, the baby is okay." ”
Bihe smiled: "My baby is fine, your sister Ziyun's baby is still in the belly, you have to ask her." ”
Xu Lang's house was full of people again, Sun Jiayi stood beside He Yun and clapped her hands: "Aunts and grandmothers, you guys are a little noisy, hurry up and set up a table, Sister Yiyi and Sister Zhiruo will be back soon, let's accompany grandparents and Mr. Xu to dinner." ”
He Yun took Sun Jiayi's hand and asked in a low voice, "Jiayi, is there any new situation recently?" ”
Sun Jiayi lowered her head and replied in a low voice: "Grandma, the two children are tired enough now, let's wait a few years." ”
"I understand, I understand." He Yun caressed Sun Jiayi's hand, "You are grandma's good granddaughter, grandma will love you." ”
"Grandma, I know."
After a while, Cheng Yiyi and Zhao Zhiruo also returned, and the family sat at two more tables. Xu Lang looked at it: "Why hasn't Ye Yan come back yet?" ”
Zhao Zhiruo asked, "Is Ye Yan also here, and where did he go?" ”
"He said he went to find Gao Chen." Xu Lang didn't care, "Maybe Gao Chen hasn't finished his work yet, let's eat first, don't wait for them." ”
Xu Lang raised his wine glass, and Zhao Zhiruo secretly looked at Ye Jie, who was sitting next to Bihe, a little uneasy.
Except for Zhao Zhiruo, no one in the Xu family knew Ye Jie's thoughts, and Zhao Zhiruo was also guessing. But seeing Ye Jie's current performance, Zhao Zhiruo was more sure of her thoughts.
Everyone drank a few glasses, and Ye Yan's voice came from outside the door: "I'm sorry everyone, it's too late." Major Gao is busy with military affairs, so I can only wait for him. ”
Gao Chen came in and saluted everyone: "Elder Lu, Principal He, Chief of the General Staff, and Chief Ye, it is true that you can't leave your humble position, and you have just finished your busy work, so you have been waiting for a long time." ”
Cheng Yiyi said with a smile: "Gao Chen, the threshold of our house is about to be broken by you, why are you suddenly so polite today." Hurry up and sit down, and punish yourself with three cups first. ”
Cheng Yiyi's table is Lu Tianxiang and Xu Lang, in addition to Ye Zhan, Ye Li and Sun Jiayi, a total of eight people, and only one empty seat remains. Zhao Zhiruo hurriedly shouted: "Gao Chen, you go to that table to sit, let Ye Yan accompany his daughter-in-law in this position." ”
"Wouldn't it be nice to add another stool?" Xu Lang didn't understand why Zhao Zhiruo arranged it like this, "There are girls on that table, who did Gao Chen go to drink with." ”
Zhao Zhiruo stepped on Xu Lang under the table: "It's just evenly distributed, we still have filial piety and filial piety at this table, and we can't sit open." ”
Xu Lang still didn't understand, but he seemed to think that Zhao Zhiruo had something to do with stepping on him, so he said, "That's okay, Gao Chen, you take the women's army to drink." ”
"Thank you, Chief of the General Staff." Gao Chen really had a headache and drank at the same table with Xu Lang, and he just couldn't ask for it.
Everyone arrived, Xu Lang said to Lu Tianxiang: "Old Lu, if you say something, we are not outsiders, we will drink after you finish speaking." ”
Lu Tianxiang raised his glass: "You children are all good children, and they all grew up under the watchful eye of me and your Aunt He." We are old, we don't have any requirements, everyone drink this glass of wine, and we will move around often from now on. The next time I call Lao Ye and Mrs. Ye, the whole family reunion is the happiest. ”
Everyone raised their wine glasses, and Gao Chen said: "Since the chief of the general staff asked me to take the wine, then I will do it first as a respect, you are free." ”
After Gao Chen finished speaking, he raised his neck and drank the wine. Ye Jie happened to be sitting next to Gao Chen, and said secretly: "Major Gao, don't drink so quickly, it's not good for your body." ”
Gao Chen paused for a moment, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ye Jie, and a strange feeling surged in his heart. For so many years, no one has ever said such a thing to themselves. The Chief of the General Staff regarded himself as a son, but once the Chief of the General Staff drank wine, he was also dry. This is the first time someone is persuading herself, she is still a little girl.
Bi He didn't think much about it, and said to Gao Chen: "Major Gao, when you moved Mr. Xu back then, you were two levels behind Ye Zhan. I remember that you were a lieutenant at the time, and Ye Zhan was a major. You are also a major now, but Ye Zhan is a colonel, and you still haven't caught up. What, want to catch up from the amount of alcohol? ”
