Chapter 12 Prairie Paradise

I slept for less than four hours at night when I was awakened by the sound of the assembly call. Guns, artillery, tanks, missile launchers, even simulated submarines, large ships, and even nuclear warfare emergencies, etc., even doomsday war. As soon as I saw that this didn't look like a war, I began to feel a little annoyed, I didn't want to look forward to the war, but I was afraid of losing to an old-fashioned man like Big Yellow Fang, who would just take the toad out of the urine as long as he took it right. So every day when I see him, he smiles at me, and I can't help but chuckle in my heart. We only have about 600 or 700 fighters from the mechanized elite army in the no-man's land on the Sino-Mongolian border for the final assessment. This is a non-permanent branch of the armed forces drawn up by military experts in light of the domestic and international situation, and there was no such branch of the armed forces before, and perhaps after a certain year or after the end of a war of a certain significance, this mechanized elite unit will no longer exist. As for the approximate number of people in this mysterious class, we have no way of knowing where they are located.

In the past, after eight long years of hard training, the survival of the fittest, and the violators were out, and now there are less than one-third of the personnel left who insist on staying. For what we now call the final assessment, it is only the last intensive training, but at the same time, it also determines what kind of honor a soldier wins in this unit, in other words, it is necessary to give everyone a rank at the end.

The location of the place is so remote that we almost can't find ourselves on the map. However, it is beautiful and the scenery is pleasant. The kind of paradise scenery on the Tianshan Mountains in the past is much inferior to the grassland paradise in front of you. So it's no wonder that the Mongolians compare the grassland to a paradise on earth, while the Xinjiang people don't regard the Tianshan Mountains as their own paradise, because the Tianshan Mountains are a place with a harsh environment, while the steppes are sunny, white and soft, and the sky is blue and green, so it is no wonder that the nomads compare this dream-like grassland to their own paradise. I sat on a small earthen bag not far from the barracks and looked at the beautiful scenery in the distance, because in the grassland, there are no peaks and mountains, and if there is a small earthen bag, it is already considered a highland. I looked out at the blue sky and green grass in the distance, wishing it was the stairway to heaven. The breeze blew, and the grass blades of the whole earth were like a green lake, and the gray-green grass was colorful and wavy, mixed with many small white wildflowers, very much like a few bright stars faintly twinkling in the night sky. I breathed in the grassy air of the prairie and lay down on the green grass with my eyes closed. At this time, I suddenly remembered a hymn from the Bible, which I do not remember completely, but I can probably remember a few sentences: The Lord is my shepherd, and I will not be weary, he has made me lie down on the green grass and led me to rest by the water...... I have walked through the valley of death, but I will not be afraid, for you are with me...... At this time, I don't know which soldier in the barracks tuned the famous song "Heaven" by the Mongolian singer Tengger in the subwoofer, and the rhythm echoed melodiously on the steppe. I lay peacefully on the green grass and prayed silently in my heart. I think back to my previous wish to join the army, and now it has come true, but instead of being happy because my wish has been fulfilled, I am depressed because of my situation. It's not that I'm timid because I joined the army to fight, but as a soldier, I don't want to see the day when there will be war, because war is a disaster! It is God's forsaken of the world, the punishment of the sins of the world in this world...... When I felt that I was facing my own sin, I couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and while I was sad, I thought of my elderly parents at home, and my heart was sour, and tears flowed out of my heart. I don't know if any other fighter will have the same depressed mindset as I have, but hopefully they won't. However, I am glad that everyone is full of enthusiasm in the simulated training war, which is the enthusiasm of every soldier for his comrades-in-arms, for the people, and for the motherland...... My tears tell me that I am far worse than them. During the period of strengthening and consolidating training, the days were very difficult, and they all met the prerequisites and needs of the high-intensity doomsday war in the future. Big Yellow Fang seems to have more energy than anyone else at this time, and every day no matter how difficult he has just gone through, he always has a smug expression on his face, and I know that he wants to brace himself and strive to earn the rank of colonel after the examination. But then I thought about it, I've been very depressed lately, this baby can't deliberately overwhelm me in momentum, right? Because in the theoretical assessment a few days ago, I won the first place in the whole military region! After all, theoretical assessment is only on paper, and as a soldier of a truly mechanized elite unit, it is not enough to rely on theory alone, and to become a real and qualified soldier, he must go through a thousand tempers and experience a hundred battles. So I realized that I had been immersed in this heavenly dream for too long, and I had to wake up and face the war. It is in this unknown Sino-Mongolian border that the camp of our mechanized elite troops is temporarily set up, and although the area here is not very vast, there are small airstrips and particle test bases, as well as test ranges for various weapons. Because I was averse to radiation, I hated particle experiments, and I tried to stay away from that place as much as possible, and I didn't even want to look at it with my eyes. There is also a special research project born together with our special class, that is, the energy research and application of antimatter and particles, which seems to have been included in the weapons research plan, and the scientific research team has specially named it "Doomsday Bomb". It is said that if this superweapon is successfully developed, it will rewrite the myth of nuclear weapons, because it is hundreds of millions of times more powerful than nuclear weapons. In other words, nuclear energy weapons are incomparable with "doomsday bombs", because nuclear energy weapons mainly rely on large-scale killing and destruction to characterize their power, while "doomsday bombs" rely on the black hole generated by ion collisions to characterize their power, strictly speaking, the power of nuclear energy weapons cannot be compared with it. This is definitely a big secret to the world, but now everyone knows the soldiers of the mechanized elite troops in our region, although it is a military secret, but it doesn't hurt for an army like ours to know about it, because we may not be able to do without this unit in this life. Since it is a military secret, how can it be circulated in the army? In my opinion, but with such high-precision technology, it will not be used only in the military field, and it is estimated that it will be used in the aerospace and even civilian fields in the future. But at this time, I don't have that much leisure to care about that, I only care about how this weapon development site that makes the end of the world is designed in this paradise savannah. The rapid development of human beings on this earth has inevitably led to the pollution of the earth's environment and the extreme lack of non-renewable resources, but what doomsday weapons do humans have to develop now!

It's sad. The intense assessment hasn't stopped since we set up camp here. Every soldier did their best, not to earn any high-ranking rank, but to live up to the country's high expectations of them.

Big Yellow Tooth is harder than anyone else, more enthusiastic than anyone else, and more considerate of his comrades-in-arms than anyone else. In recent days, I don't know who can't stand the enthusiasm and thoughtfulness of Big Yellow Tooth, and he actually loves Big Yellow Tooth very much, and I don't even know who has begun to affectionately call him "Yellow Guide". Whenever someone calls Big Yellow Tooth "Guide", Big Yellow Tooth's face always shows a smug and kind smile like a chief, and looks around with a smile, but every time I meet his smug and smiling face, I can't help but feel a sense of loss in my heart, as if Big Yellow Fang has become an instructor. But I thought about it, we haven't competed in practical use, at least the theory is the first, in practice at most is to be familiar with a little longer, let's stupid birds fly first, at this time don't compete with them. The final assessment period gradually changed from the original theoretical knowledge to the later application of firearms and weapons, mechanical operation, weapon configuration, as well as the familiar mastery and flexible application of foreign conventional weapon parameters, and then the most headache, the most complex and difficult to master the allocation of arms. In fact, the distribution of arms is the arrangement and control of different arms of the armed forces under various difficult and high-intensity war conditions in the capacity of commanders and commanders. Everyone says that being an official on the battlefield is very angry, but have you ever imagined that if you don't have enough confidence in the war situation, resulting in casualties and total annihilation, then your spirit still exists?

In this secret military base in the vast grassland, we have been training non-stop every day, firing guns and artillery today, driving tanks and planes tomorrow, and setting up positions to defuse bombs the day after tomorrow...... In my heart, I really hope that training at this time is war, and I hope that this depressive day will end sooner. When I think about my current situation, I always feel like I'm running away from reality. At noon that day, as soon as our group had finished training, I ran out of the grassland outside the barracks with some impatience and stood on a small dirt bag and shouted at the sky. At this time, the sky is very blue, and the endless prairie seems to be able to make people flutter and fly leisurely, and the military camp reverberates with the heart-warming "Paradise". I sang aloud along with the music, but I could hear that there were many comrades in the barracks singing along with the peaceful music. At some point, Big Yellow Fang and a few of his comrades had come to the small dirt bag where I was standing, and they looked at me silently. I just shouted a few times and couldn't sing the climax of the song anymore, I lowered my head and coughed a few times, and my voice was hoarse. The comrades-in-arms behind me began to cheer behind me: "Good, good! It's better than Tengger singing! "Big Yellow Tooth can talk and talk on weekdays, but he can't sing, so he is the only one who doesn't make fun of the embarrassment that I didn't sing well. But he seemed to see that I was on my mind, so he climbed up the little dirt bag and sat down with me on the green grass and talked to each other.

Big Yellow Fang looked at me for a while with his bright mouse eyes, and said as if he had a good intention: "Lao Liu, I can tell if you are in a bad mood?" I didn't want to be embarrassed in front of this old-fashioned person, so I casually responded: "How can there be?" I was just in training when I was flying a fighter jet and I was feeling a little sick and dizzy. Maybe I didn't get a good night's rest last night. "I deliberately avoided his words. Who knew that as soon as I said this, Big Yellow Tooth was still energetic, "Lao Liu, I told you a long time ago, this knowledge about war, only theoretical knowledge is not enough!" We must learn more from the actual combat and learn more from the experience...... Look at you, when you fly a fighter jet, you always fly a jet as if it were a helicopter, how dangerous is it?! ”

I couldn't get annoyed when I heard him talking, so I waved my hand to signal him to calm down, and Big Yellow Fang looked at his comrades around him and didn't notice him, so he sat down in place. I smiled and said, "Lao Huang, how high is your kung fu!" So you haven't hit the ground all this time! ”

Big Yellow Tooth looked embarrassed and ugly, but he pretended to be a leader, and it seemed that he was going to be an instructor. He said to me quietly: "Lao Liu, we are soldiers, we must always be vigilant, and we must always have enthusiasm for the people and the country. Big Yellow Fang's words hit my heart. I said to him seriously, "I just miss my family, that's it, really." Big Yellow Tooth shook his head to show disbelief, so I said to him again: "We have been out for many years, I don't know if my family is doing well, I always feel that my parents are burdened very much, and I am so unlucky......" Big Yellow Tooth seemed to feel that what I said was the same as what he thought, and he lowered his head and meditated for a long time. Suddenly, he looked up and said, "Your family has sent you a letter!" I forgot to give it to you! ”

As soon as I heard this, I wondered in my heart, we are now in an extraordinary period, and our every move is almost a state secret, how can we still receive a letter from our family? When I was wondering, I had to bring out the big yellow tooth to me. However, Big Yellow Tooth said: "Lao Liu, let me tell you, you can't be angry, this letter was received by me two months ago. ”

As soon as I heard it, I almost became angry, and I reproached loudly: "Comrade Huangya, shouldn't you say, 'The correspondent sent a letter, and I will collect it for you if you are not there'?" Da Huangya smiled and said: "Lao Liu, you are really wise, yes, yes." With that, he pulled out a crumpled letter from his jacket pocket. As soon as I took the letter, I almost fainted, only to see that the letter had been washed once in the pocket of the big yellow tooth, and when I opened it, I saw that the letter had been glued together, and the handwriting was blurred. I yelled at Rhubarb, "Comrade Yellow Fang! When exactly did I get this letter? It's all like this! Big Yellow Yahan smiled and said, "Comrade Liu, didn't you say before that you want me to do everything to detective the truth and then report to you?" I then yelled, "Your investigation process is too long, isn't it?" Tell me, when did you receive this letter? Big Yellow Tooth also felt that he had done two hundred and five things, and he only said that it was because the task was delayed, but I knew in my heart that he was very enthusiastic about his comrades, and it was impossible for him to intentionally mistake me, he definitely forgot, but at this time he refused to admit it. The handwriting in the letter was blurry, and I could only read it roughly. Fortunately, it was just a letter from my family, not a confidential document. In the letter, my father told me that my grandmother had died. Reading this, for some reason, I miss my family and miss my family, but at this time I don't feel how hurt I feel in my heart, probably because I have been away from home for too long. The letter said that I have reached the age of starting a family, but I am far away in the frontier, and my parents and villagers are very concerned about my marriage...... I don't know if you remember the waitress who worked in the restaurant with you before, she has the same name and surname as you and is also called Liu Yun, according to your partners, you seem to have a good impression of Liu Yun...... So the father and the villagers asked someone to go to the girl's house to mention the family matter...... Thanks to the fact that you are now a soldier, this can earn a lot of glory for our family, and when the girl and her family heard that you had joined the army, they happily agreed. You're so old, on our side, you're going to be a single.

My heart was both happy and painful, and while my emotions were in turmoil, Big Yellow Tooth saw that I had finished reading the letter, so he hurriedly asked me: "Lao Liu, what did the family say?" I told him directly, I'm going to marry a daughter-in-law! Big Yellow Tooth said happily: "Lao Liu, don't be joking, in our current situation, it's difficult to even go out shopping, can you still go back to your hometown to marry a daughter-in-law?" Hey, hey, hey. In a fit of rage, I grabbed a handful of weeds on the ground and threw it at Big Yellowfang's black face, "If you hadn't delayed my letter, I would have married the bride by now!" You didn't hurt me! ”
