0415 How about we do planting in Djibouti?

After a week-long deep-sea voyage, a certain naval formation successfully arrived at this port-type comprehensive support base of the Chinese People's Liberation Army in Djibouti.

In the process of sailing, Wang Liang's body experienced all kinds of discomfort.

Yes, Wang Liang is no longer the strong young man.

Ninety-six years old, it should also be old.

He has too much to worry about, and his work schedule is too much.

Wang Liang didn't tell anyone about his unwellness, and he didn't even tell Sun Weimin.

Because Wang Liang did not want to miss the opportunity to board the first overseas base of our Chinese People's Liberation Army.

Even if he fell on this hot land, Wang Liang felt that it was worth it, because his life was complete.

Before landing, Wang Liang and Sun Weimin were replaced with special armbands for the Chinese People's Liberation Army support base in Djibouti and chest badges for overseas garrisons.

The chest badge pattern of overseas garrisons consists of military emblems, five stars, shields, Great Wall battlements and olive branches.

The design of the special armband of the support base in Djibouti consists of the national flag, an olive branch and the Chinese and English names of the 'Chinese People's Liberation Army support base in Djibouti'.

This means that Chinese the PLA support base unit stationed in Djibouti is an important force for maintaining world peace and stability.

As soon as he replaced his chest badge and armband, Wang Liang shared this joy with netizens.

Comment section.

"The overseas garrison of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, this word makes people feel excited. Now it's just Djibouti, and there will be more ...... in the future A veteran who has been out of the army for 20 years is in a state of emotion. ”

"Awesome, my country! In fact, foreign countries have begun to have garrisons. ”

"Kudos to the Djibouti security base!"

"What a handsome armband!"

"Practical measures to show the good image of our army as a mighty, civilized, and peaceful army, and to build a world-class army."

"I was thrilled to see this armband."

The base troops sent a full-time officer to introduce Wang Liang: "Chief, our base mainly supplies the army and navy, and provides logistical support for the navy's escort formation in the Gulf of Aden and African peacekeepers. ”

"At present, the main tasks of the al-Qaeda force are expected to provide supply support for the ships of the escort group, provide support and corresponding support for our troops in South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Mali and other United Nations peacekeeping mission areas, and provide personnel presence and support for the possible evacuation of overseas Chinese in relevant areas. At the same time, it is also responsible for ensuring the safety of the base itself. ”

"Yes." Wang Liang nodded, and then motioned to Sun Weimin to temporarily interrupt the live broadcast and talk about something confidential.

The officer further introduced Wang Liang: "Our base has a comprehensive support squadron, a guard reconnaissance squadron, a frigate squadron, a helicopter squadron, an intelligence and electronic communications squadron, a health and medical squadron, and a base logistics squadron. ”

"The integrated support squadron is mainly responsible for the replenishment, support, and maintenance of naval ships berthed at the base, including the support and maintenance of carrier-based helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles and other aircraft. In addition, it is necessary to meet the needs of our peacekeeping troops in Africa, which require special equipment and technical personnel. Carry out repair and maintenance of the base dock and equipment. ”

Although he is not yet accustomed to the tropical desert climate, Wang Liang feels a little dizzy in the high temperature of nearly 40 degrees Celsius.

But despite this, Wang Liang still listened carefully and recorded in his heart.

The officer continued: "The Guards Reconnaissance Squadron is the unit that guards the base and the safety of its personnel. Work with the base frigate squadron to secure the dock and nearby waterways. Safeguard the safety of other personnel who need to be protected in accordance with the agreement between China and Kyrgyzstan. ”

"The main duty of the squadron of frigates is to protect the security of the base pier and related waterways. At the request of our escort formation, it went out to the relevant sea area to carry out vigilance and defense tasks. ”

"Yes, okay, I understand. I heard that the officers and soldiers of our base have grown a lot of vegetables and fruits in this desert? Wang Liang asked.

"Yes, Chief. I'll show you there. "When it comes to planting, the officers' interest is exceptionally high.

Because Djibouti's desert is full of volcanic rocks and scorched desert earth, and the tropical desert climate is dry and almost rainless throughout the year, agricultural experts have concluded that cultivation is not possible.

However, after arriving in Djibouti, the Chinese navy officers and men moved rocks and reefs by hand, digging up soil and sand. Repeated trial planting, repeated death.

It turned the desert into a great oasis.

Melon.

Watermelon.

Cucumber.

Cherry tomatoes.

Tomato.

Chili pepper.

Lentil.

Loofah.

Coffee bean.

......

Looking at and remembering the fruits of the labor of the officers and soldiers, Wang Liang was very happy.

It is very meaningful to engage in planting, and in a foreign country, in the hot and hot Africa, it is a refreshing thing for Chinese soldiers to be able to eat some self-sufficient green vegetables.

In addition, life abroad is rather monotonous and boring, and the discipline regulations stipulate that officers and men at the base are not allowed to go out at will.

As a result, planting became an integral part of the amateur cultural life of Chinese soldiers.

In between training and performing tasks, I went to the vegetable field to see the vegetables and fruits I planted by myself growing, and served them to the table, which was full of a sense of accomplishment.

Wang Liang could imagine the joy of the officers and soldiers.

Because when he was working on the island in the last century, he also led the officers and soldiers to engage in planting on barren land.

Looking at the scene at the base in Djibouti, Wang Liang couldn't help but connect with the Nansha islands and reefs he had been to a few years ago.

Wang Liang said with heartfelt emotion: "Whether it is a high mountain island or a foreign country, our Chinese Navy will plant it wherever it goes, and there are more than 1.5 million tropical plants on the Nansha islands and reefs!" There are also 220,000 square meters of green space. ”

"Since the 90s of the last century, three and four vegetable fields have been built on the Nansha islands and reefs, and vegetable planting has become a part of the life of officers and men guarding the reefs, and the seeds that the officers and men brought back from their hometowns on vacation, such as nepeta in Henan, peppers in Sichuan, and green onions in Shandong...... The small vegetable garden contains seasonal vegetables from all over the country. ”

"Well, in Africa, in Djibouti, in this hot land. I saw the shadow of the Nansha islands and reefs back then. Good! Wang Liang said with a smile.

Because Wang Liang knows that today's Nansha islands and reefs have become large-scale ecological farms from small vegetable fields back then.

Wang Liang knows that in a few years, the Djibouti base will be the same as the Nansha islands and reefs.

Every vegetable is a nail rooted there, like a sailor, tough, clean, not afraid of wind and rain, wind and sun.

In the long and difficult years, give a sweetness.

In the comment area, Djibouti's vegetable garden made it difficult for netizens to calm down, and it also evoked the nostalgia of many veterans.

"The first reaction, grow big watermelons in Djibouti! What a cool thing. Big watermelon!! Blessed are the officers and men of the base! ”

"It seems to be a soldier again, envy, red-eyed."

"Our soldiers' planting talent is really amazing, they really greened the desert land of Djibouti support base so well, amazing."

"The great talent of the Chinese is to grow vegetables! The vegetables and fruits purchased in Djibouti are all transported from Ethiopia, and the Chinese Navy can grow vegetables in Djibouti, which is a miracle for the locals! ”

"I remember the Yellow Sea outpost where I was a soldier, and I remember that the rape I planted was sent to the cooking class, which is deeply imprinted in my memory."

"This is the spirit of Nanniwan, fighting and producing, passing on the will of revolutionary soldiers! Learn from the PLA, salute! ”
