When the Spring Festival of Kaihong five years came, Li Hongyuan, who had been away from home for a year and a half, finally set foot on the Humen Wharf in Guangdong again, and now this wharf is slowly replacing several wharves in Guangzhou City and becoming the most important foreign wharf in Guangdong. www.biquge.info Hundreds of merchant ships enter and leave this wharf every day, especially now, after Hong Kong has completely become a military port and its most important southern base for the Chinese Navy, the importance of Humen Port to Guangzhou is naturally self-evident.

Being able to return to his home alive is a gift for a person who has experienced the war, and even makes people feel a little surprised, at least for Li Hongyuan, maybe he thought that he would return home alive, but he never thought that he would return home so soon.

Sitting in his room again, looking at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, looking at this somewhat dusty study, his heart was filled with a strange feeling, now he no longer had to brave the scorching heat to fight in the desolate Australia. He didn't have to use his own flesh and blood to storm the British bullets, or squeeze into a canned troop transport ship and sail to an untouched island in a chain of islands in the Pacific. Or in a certain wilderness of Africa, fighting mosquitoes and beasts, in fact, the most formidable enemy on the battlefield was never the British. In his combat career, he had never seen a British army that could hold up for half an hour in the shelling, and sometimes they could not hold out for 10 minutes, and thousands of shells were enough to break the British resistance.

Who is the most formidable enemy on the battlefield?

He had heard that in Africa, after marching 500 kilometers, more than half of the soldiers of an infantry regiment lost their combat effectiveness, and it was naturally the army's greatest enemy.

And now, all this seems to be far away from Li Hongyuan. He can enjoy life as in the past, unlike many people in the company, he is not from a poor family, in fact, he should be regarded as a "son-in-law", although the Li family is not a huge wealth in Guangzhou, but it is also quite famous. Even the reason why he became a soldier, but also in order to keep the Li family's family business when the dynasty changed, he received a full education when he was a teenager, and later received military education in the army lecture hall, and now, he has returned home to start another life, can be like the brother in the family, work in the Li family's business, factory, of course, he can also enter other enterprises, now with the increasing prosperity of business, his own business, factory is not an inevitable choice, of course, there are other options.

Of course, it wasn't easy for him to return home, and he paid the price for it all: one of his arms was lost forever on a ranch in New Zealand.

Even now, when the wound has healed completely, the memory of the arm shot in his mind is still very clear, and sometimes, he still feels like he is in the middle of a battlefield. Although the war has completely become a distant and sour past for him. Whenever he writes with a pen in his left arm and eats with chopsticks, he will think of the days and nights with blood and fire on the Australian front.

Of course, he had to adapt, just as he had adapted to life in the barracks, and now he had to adapt to life when he returned home, to the life of losing an arm. He has to adapt to the life of the disabled and the psychology of the disabled. He first tried to get dressed, wash his face, and take a bath.

Because of the relationship between generations of business in the family, so. His home is in Xiguan, Guangzhou, where there are many "gardens" that belong to the rich people's gardens, although there is no way to compare with those people, but because of the relationship between the wealthy, so there are gardens, rockeries and ponds in his home. Of course, after he went home, his mother also specially gave him a ** Mei's maid ring, and now she is waiting for Neihong's food, clothing, housing and transportation.

However, Li Hongyuan will always refuse her help, maybe now he has left the army, but for him, he still demands himself in the way of the army, insisting on getting up early every day like a soldier, running, and conducting basic training, still like in the army.

During the war, Guangzhou did not see the slightest depression and dilapidation, compared with the past, it seems to be more prosperous, but people hurriedly walked, rarely greeted each other, that is because the work is busier than in the past, people simply have no time to chat on the street, every factory hangs a sign every day, every day in the newspaper can see the news of the opening of a certain factory, workers, especially skilled for the factory is the most scarce, busy work makes people compared to the past, there is no leisurely at all.

Sometimes, Li Hongyuan would meet a procession of soldiers on the street, followed by send-offs with various expressions, and the band played a long military song. The singing is still as passionate as in the past, compared to when they set off during the war, many soldiers showed a little lack of confidence, and now these soldiers are all excited, full of confidence, it is no wonder that who makes those Westerners are not as strong as they imagined, rushing up regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one and one beating, after exposing the British tiger skin, the big guy is naturally full of confidence.

But as a veteran, Li Hongyuan didn't want to see them off, because he knew that people would always die in war, just like in Australia, the seemingly not fierce war has taken tens of thousands of lives, and tens of thousands more have been injured, and war has always been full of sacrifices.

And the most difficult thing for Li Hongyuan to adapt to is the life of an almost backwater. As a rich boy and a disabled retired officer, he doesn't need to struggle for life and work like other citizens. As the third young master of the Li family, he can get 1,000 yuan of pocket money every month, and he can receive 106 yuan of retirement pension every month when he retires due to disability...... This is the difference between the rich and the poor, in fact, as long as he is willing, even if he spends thousands of yuan a month, no one in the Li family will say anything, after all, in the eyes of his family, he has paid too much for the Li family - everyone sees that he is missing an arm!

However, since he returned home, he has not received the 1,000 yuan of pocket money, he has become accustomed to the simple life in the army, he does not need that money at all, just like he does not need a gold watch, he does not need any luxuries, all he needs is the simplest food and clothing, at most, the biggest expense is to raise horses.

But after withdrawing from the habitual military life, the habitual conditioning of the past has a huge inertia like a downhill train. He no longer heard the gunshots, could not see his close comrades, did not have to burrow into the trenches to dodge the shells, and did not have to think about how to kill the enemy.

Life is nothing more than running and playing Go with others, which is not exciting at all, and is completely a boring and boring life.

In order to pass the time, he obtained the information of several comrades-in-arms through the army hospital, and then visited several wounded comrades-in-arms, and then visited the bereaved families of the dead on the battlefield, originally he wanted to help them as much as he could, but the result was disappointed, they did not need his help at all, as the bereaved family, they were all taken care of by the government - their parents and wives received bereaved family pensions every month, and their children could also study for free until high school.

Sometimes he also went to the demobilized servicemen's association and the rear service to see. It didn't take long for him to stop doing all this, those comrades-in-arms who retired because of their disabilities were always immersed in disability, and the bereaved families were also sad and sad, old and young, and the tragic consequences of the war were all reflected in their eyes.

In short, in their bodies, except for a few people, he saw only the pain caused by the war, because in them, he did not see hope, of course not everyone, although most of the bereaved people looked sad, but most of them were grateful, gratitude to His Majesty, and also gratitude to the sacrificed comrades-in-arms, the comrades-in-arms who died in battle were doing their filial piety in another way!

For many poor people, the death of a son in war is not a tragedy, because his parents receive a pension of 5 yuan a month, his wife can receive a pension of 3 yuan until he remarries, and if they have children, each child can receive an additional 1.5 yuan until he is 16 years old or graduate from high school, which means that his parents, wife and children can be taken care of. It can be said that this is also the reason why on the battlefield, the soldiers sacrifice their lives and forget about death, because they do not have any worries.

Finally, his interests focused on the military situation and politics. Only here can he give full play to his basic judgment as a graduate of the Wuchang Army's Wutang Infantry Section.

Chunmei sent him a large pile of newspapers and magazines every day, which were full of all kinds of news and news about the war situation. The newspapers always read "Achievements" and "Victories of the soldiers." Of course, all this is not boasting, because on various battlefields, the Imperial army has always had an advantage over the British.

After all, the Imperial army was hitting one finger of the British with one fist on various battlefields!

Li Hongyuan himself knows the real battlefield situation, and a finger is never an opponent of a fist, so every time he reads the newspaper, he only feels more and more boring, however, he knows very well that the turning point of the war must be today and next year, the strength of the British is slowly growing, maybe the British have suffered heavy losses, but their hope of counterattack still exists.

But when will they counterattack?

Of course, Li Hongyuan didn't see this news from the newspaper, but he saw another news in the newspaper - a job advertisement!

Although this job advertisement looks inconspicuous, it is perfect for him.
