The 186 professional soldiers on the entire island were all gathered in front of Li Xiangshang. They didn't know who Li Xiangshang was, but Li Xiangshang stood there quietly, and he was like a mountain, he was obviously not tall, but his rich life experience, and the self-confidence and pride cultivated by holding the power of life and death for a long time made Li Xiangshang have a kind of majestic shore that will be at the top of the mountain and see the mountains at a glance.

Li Xiangshang's gaze slowly swept in front of everyone, and the special forces present who were above the top felt their hearts beat faster, and a feeling was beating in everyone's hearts, almost about to come out...... If they are all the kings of soldiers who have been chosen by thousands of people, then what they are facing now is the out-and-out king of soldiers!

This man, himself, represents this generation, the pinnacle of the world's soldiers!

Without introducing his identity, or even listing his military rank, in the face of the 186 professional soldiers from all over the world, belonging to different group armies, and it seemed impossible to be commanded together in a short period of time, Li Xiangshang naturally ordered: "Those who are over twenty-seven years old are out of the ranks!" ”

The Chinese special forces were only formally formed in the 90s, and this status quo created the current situation that the average age of the special forces was only 25 years old, and with Li Xiangshang's order, only 72 members, including the seven captains, walked out of the queue.

"Take off your upper uniforms!"

Li Xiangshang's order was very sudden, but the seventy-two special forces who walked out of the queue, including the seven captains, did not hesitate to take off their shirts with the fastest movements, revealing that they could never be as exaggerated as bodybuilders, but they were as hard as stones, and with muscles like washboards, with sharp and angular muscles, and their arms full of explosive strength.

Li Xiangshang walked in front of these team members, looked carefully one by one, looked at it, his brows suddenly wrinkled slightly, he looked at a soldier standing in front of him, and said, "How old did you join the army?" ”

"Report, eighteen!"

Li Xiangshang nodded, and said indifferently: "Change the personal birth record file at the local police station, so that your age meets the criteria for joining the army, and then buy a city soldier quota, the family must have spent a lot of money, right?" ”

The soldier froze, his lips twitched a few times, but nothing came out. As long as he joins the army, after leaving the army, according to the principle of arranging work for urban veterans in the vicinity formulated by the state, he can smoothly enter his father's unit and take over his job. Ten years ago, there was a very distinctive term for such behavior, called ...... Succession!

But the age of this soldier is too young, and his father's work unit is a steel mill, this kind of enterprise, no matter what era, will inevitably be vigorously supported by the state, and the efficiency will not be bad, I don't know how many people sharpen their heads and plan to squeeze in, if he waits until he is eighteen years old, he will enter the army, and then go through three years of training and retirement, during this period of time, there are too many variables, and his father may even retire early. changed his actual age by two years, and finally sent him to the army at the age of sixteen.

More than a hundred pairs of eyes present fell on the face of the soldier who falsely reported his age in order to enlist. In front of everyone's eyes, the soldier's face turned red, and his whole body trembled even more, and even his captain's face became very ugly. For a special soldier, this kind of experience is definitely not glorious. In this case, being found out by Li Xiangshang in public made most of his special department even more ashamed!

"I don't understand, if you are honest in the army for three years, you can go home as a veteran, take over the work of your parents, and live a life that everyone envies, why do you have to stay in the army for three years, three years, three years, and even go all the way to the special brigade directly under the military region."

The expression on Li Xiangshang's face was very flat, but at this time, he really spit out words like a knife: "Is it because you haven't had time to retire from the army, and your family is just in time to be laid off, and you have no choice, or do you think that being a special soldier is accumulating capital, and after retiring from the army, you can easily mix up the job of a bodyguard with this golden signboard alone, and if you are lucky, you can even marry a young lady, or a female boss, and enter the so-called upper class society?" ”

Li Xiangshang chatted a few words, and completely denied the other party's life in the army for nine years, without being immersive, who would understand that a child with a good family background, who left his parents at the age of sixteen and entered the barracks, in that rough world mixed with steel and green, starting from the rookie in the recruit company, step by step, the process of blood and sweat, tears and laughter coexisting? !

Listening to Li Xiangshang's words, even if he was the strongest special soldier, even if he desperately clenched his fists, tears still poured out of the soldier's eyes uncontrollably, and in full view of everyone, he finally couldn't help but scream: "That's right, when I first joined the army, I wanted to pick up my father's class after demobilization, but, but, ...... As soon as I entered the army, I loved everything there. I, I, I, I want to work with my comrades-in-arms to protect my country with our hands! In the future, even if I will still be discharged from the army, I will never find a job like my dad again, but with this experience, I have no regrets! ”

Speaking of which, the soldier violently took out a bullet from his body, of course it was not a real bullet, their weapons had been completely confiscated two days ago. It was just a wooden bullet that he himself used a wooden stick, cut it little by little, and carefully polished it on the stone, but pinching such a toy bullet, the soldier seemed to be on top of it, absorbing enough courage, he raised his teary-eyed face, looked straight at Li Xiangshang, and hissed: "I prepared a glorious bullet for myself on the first mission, even if I was seriously injured when I was performing a mission that could not surface, I collapsed myself with my own hands, but in the end I was even a medal, I don't even have the name of a martyr, I still don't regret it! I am a soldier, a Chinese special forces, and I am proud!! ”

Li Xiangshang smiled, he really smiled.

"We are China's special forces, and we think we are strong, but I want to ask you, compared with other old special forces in the world, how strong are we? Is it the high-tech new equipment that we are constantly boasting about in the media? Is it possible for us to conduct amphibious operations on land, sea and air? How many military exercises have we ever fought that can be called 'classic'?! ”

Li Xiangshang straightened his body, he looked at the audience, and shouted loudly: "None of them!" Standing here, I can frankly say that if we want to compare with the special forces of Western developed countries with high-tech special equipment, we are out-and-out fools! It has not been more than 20 years since the special forces of our country have really popularized and developed, and they are even more idiots who have experienced the baptism of World War II and have grown up in the war to the current level of amphibious operations. ”

The audience was silent, everyone was listening quietly,

"In the 70s, there was an American special forces instructor who went to negotiate with the Vietnamese guerrillas, but was captured by the other side, he obviously had the ability to resist, but for his own safety, he still chose to obey completely, but if it were you, what would you do?"

Without another person's answer, Li Xiangshang raised the "glorious bullet" made of wood in his hand, and shouted loudly: "We will use all our strength to resist desperately, our arms are broken, we will kick with our feet, our feet are broken, we will hit our heads with our heads, our necks will be broken, we will bite with our teeth, our teeth will also fall out, even if we know that our eyes are not lethal, we will stare at each other fiercely, staring at them cold, staring at them with weakness, staring at them next time and in [*** When people are fighting, they haven't fought yet, and they will involuntarily lose three points first! ”

Listening to Li Xiangshang's speech, the faces of everyone present were blushing with excitement. That's right, what Li Xiangshang said is the truest portrayal of the Chinese [***] people, once they go crazy on the battlefield, once they go crazy, they are crazy lions, crazy tigers, and the earth-shattering dragon fighting dragon! It is precisely because of such madness and madness, because of this absolute loyalty and sincerity to the motherland, and because of this absolute obedience to the superiors, that the Chinese [***] team will be regarded by Western countries as the greatest opponent on the earth and must not be confronted head-on!

In front of everyone's eyes, Li Xiangshang put the "glorious bullet" back into the hands of its owner, looking at the two defenders of the republic who were more than twice the age, but wore the same military uniform and shouldered the same mission, I don't know who led the way, and the enthusiastic applause suddenly rose from this island like a storm.

In the war years, the Chinese people regarded death as very plain, and in their eyes, dying on the battlefield was like a silkworm chrysalis transforming into a butterfly, natural and beautiful. Seeing the death of their comrades-in-arms, even if they are sad and crying, they will try their best not to let the people around them see it, because they don't want to be laughed at!

What Li Xiangshang passed on to everyone present was the kind of freedom that he learned from those predecessors and martyrs during the war years, ignoring death!

The warship, which was two kilometers away, continued to monitor everything that was happening on the island through high-power telescopic equipment, and faithfully transmitted this picture to the temporary command center through the satellite channel. At the same time, Jin Zexi, a military advisor far away, and his apprentice Liu Wei, were silent, quietly looking at the picture on the LCD screen.

Once, they were also [***] people; Once, they were also proud of who they were; In the past, they could also be like the people on the island, laughing without regrets, laughing frankly, laughing as if the sky was falling, and they could be fearless.

Looking at Li Xiangshang, who had completely conquered the hearts of everyone present in just a few minutes and had become the dual leader of both reality and spirit, including Fengying Building, the eight captains were all together in their hearts, and let out a long breath. Their abilities are close, their identities are close, and the teams they lead are also quite close in terms of number and comprehensive ability, and it is because of this excessive balance in strength that they are unable to form a pyramid structure of the command system at all, and once a conflict breaks out, they are even more unable to concentrate their forces and deal with it quickly.

And the arrival of Li Xiangshang finally gave them an absolutely authoritative voice, bringing together these professional soldiers from all over the world, belonging to different group armies, and looking above the top.

In the end, seventy-one people passed Li Xiangshang's inspection. These soldiers born before the 80s all have a soybean-sized scar on their arms, which is the imprint of the "cowpox" vaccine planted in their bodies as soon as they were born, and it is also a proof of their lifelong immunity to the smallpox virus.

"You gather on the south side of the island, and I will contact my superiors and ask them to send a landing ship to bring you back to land."

Hearing Li Xiangshang's order, the vast majority of people immediately turned around and left, showing good obedience, but only one soldier who was qualified to return to the land still stood quietly in place, just with their lips tightened and stared at Li Xiangshang's face.

It's Xue Ningbo.

As a heavyweight instructor of the Fifth Special Army, although because of age, Li Xiangshang is younger than them, and he has not become the personal apprentice of Zheng Xun's old principal, but everyone has been in the same army for so long, how can Xue Ningbo not see that no matter how calm and calm Li Xiangshang behaves, there is a wisp of anxiety in his eyes that still can't be concealed? !

The current principal of the Fifth Special Force, and the last heavyweight instructor of the Fifth Special Force, their eyes met in the air.

"Xue Ningbo, execute the order immediately!"

Xue Ningbo still didn't move, the keen intuition unique to the female surname, coupled with the understanding that the two people were too familiar with, made her already understand that if she really obeyed her order at this time and left this desert island, this might be the goodbye between her and Li Xiangshang.

Li Xiangshang walked in front of Xue Ningbo and said in a low voice: "I know I can't hide it from you, I just want to ask you a word, do you really want to be here and let the core high-level of our Fifth Special Force die?" ”

Xue Ningbo was stunned.

The old principal Zheng Xun is very old, and the warrior song is surrounded by terrorists dozens of times his own in the island country of Florida, and Fengyinglou is trapped on this deserted island, plus she and Li Xiangshang, the fifth special force, which is known as the most elite special force in China, and the core members of two generations, are all struggling on the line of life and death. Once all of them are killed, the elite in the school will die, and there will inevitably be a fault line in the talent structure.

At that time, even if the superiors will try their best to transfer instructors from other special brigades to fill the core vacancies so that new trainees can continue to receive military training, how many of those foreign instructors really understand the spiritual wealth of the Fifth Special Force and have been passed down from generation to generation for decades? With different backgrounds, how many of them can really understand the hearts of the trainees of the Fifth Special Force, and deliberately indulge some of their shortcomings, so that they have always maintained the power of the Fifth Special Department, the most advocated tiger?!

You know, in the regular forces, even in the special forces, there is an unwritten rule...... First go to the arrogance, and then shape its stupidity!

"You are a general who is in charge alone, but you are not a handsome person who leads the overall situation."

In the stupid listening, Li Xiangshang's deep voice came into Xue Ningbo's ears so clearly: "So, I'm sorry, I can't entrust you with the future of the Fifth Special Force." If I, Fengyinglou and Zhanxia Song, all die on their own battlefields, you will personally rush overseas and bring Hai Qingwai back, after so many years of training, in actual combat, she already has the ability to take over the fifth special force. And she also has a group of partners who can be completely trusted and can fight side by side, so that she can bring such a command system into the school, which will definitely cause a lot of inconvenience at first, but I believe that with her means and charm, all contradictions and conflicts will be successfully resolved in the shortest possible time. Please do your best to assist her, so that our fifth special force can get through the most difficult level since the establishment of the school! ”

Li Xiangshang has put all his inner words and all the hole cards in front of Xue Ningbo without reservation. He must retain a heavyweight instructor with rich practical experience and integration with the school's philosophy for the school, and he must leave a spark for the school that can set the prairie on fire!

Maybe the school will inevitably enter a low period because of the death of their two generations of elite talents, but there are talented people in the country, and I believe that in less than ten years, or even five years later, new outstanding talents will emerge to make up for the vacancy in the school, so that the fifth special force can regain its former brilliance and brilliance.

It can be said that Li Xiangshang has entrusted the more important treasure of his surname to Xue Ningbo, but by this time, Xue Ningbo had not moved.

"Xue Ningbo, don't be too fragile!"

Only those who are familiar with Li Xiangshang can hear the weight of his two sentences. As soon as the words came out, Li Xiangshang's face was slightly surprised, because, Xue Ningbo, who was a whole four realms younger than him, would treat his predecessor at any time, and Xue Ningbo, who retained absolute respect, actually grabbed his right hand.

Ten fingers were entangled, and in this most intimate contact, Li Xiangshang could clearly feel the slight tremor of Xue Ningbo's body.

"I know that as a soldier, I should obey orders, and as the last core instructor of the school, I should focus on the overall situation and turn around and leave immediately, but ......" Speaking of this, Xue Ningbo's voice was suddenly interrupted, she raised her head and looked at Li Xiangshang, a pain that was about to say goodbye finally turned into motivation, so that she still said what she thought she would never say for the rest of her life: "But, I like you!" ”

Li Xiangshang was stunned. Of course, when he suddenly looked back and traced his memory, he realized that when they were still teenagers, Xue Ningbo always liked to shout "Brother Xiangshang" and trotted all the way behind him; In the decades, when he is happy, when he is sad, when he is proud, when he is frustrated, there is always a figure who is silently accompanying him, rejoicing because of his happiness and silent because of his sadness.

He really always thought that it was just the care and friendship of being together for too long.

But no matter what, Xue Ningbo is in his forties, but he still stayed in the Fifth Special Army, did not retire from the army, and did not look for a life that belonged to a woman. She has been silently doing the man's work, with a strong attitude, pushing all possible suitors out of the door. As her eldest brother and boss, Li Xiangshang also talked to Xue Ningbo several times, and even wanted to introduce someone to her, and every time, Xue Ningbo's face would become very strange and strange.

Now, she grabbed her right hand, and she grabbed it so hard that even Li Xiangshang felt a slight pain. At the same time, Li Xiangshang suddenly remembered what the old principal Zheng Xun once said: As a professional soldier, there are only two times when you can be unreasonable. First, when facing the enemy on the battlefield; Second, it is when it comes to the pursuit of love!

He, the principal, probably can't use orders or reasoning to drive Xue Ningbo out of the island!

Angry, there is; Anxious, there is; But his right hand was held tightly by Xue Ningbo, and for some reason, in Li Xiangshang's heart, there was a wave of happiness that even he was surprised. Maybe it was because he was so surprised that he even forgot how eye-catching and ambiguous it was to stand arm in arm with Xue Ningbo, a subordinate like Xue Ningbo, who was over forty years old but still retained the beauty of a woman and the surname of the wild, standing arm in arm, still whispering there.

There was a series of footsteps behind him, Li Xiangshang Huoran turned around, and under his surprised gaze, the seven captains who had already taken the lead towards the south side of the island turned around and walked back.

"We are the captains, leaving the brothers in the team and running away first, this kind of behavior is equivalent to desertion!"

As the representative of the seven captains, Wu Jianghao, the captain of the Yandong Dongfang Excalibur team, walked in front of Li Xiangshang, and after saluting seriously, he said in a deep voice: "We have already discussed just now, instead of returning to the army by boat as a deserter, it is better to stay as a captain and accompany you to fight to the end until we are all wiped out, or leave alive as a victor!" ”

Li Xiangshang's gaze jumped over the seven captains in front of him and fell on more people. Seventy-one men who were qualified to leave the island came back to him, and all of them stood before him.

Captains are reluctant to abandon their soldiers, and those who are qualified to leave the island with the captain are reluctant to leave the captain. It was under this mutual tie that they knew that when they got on the landing ship, they would be away from danger, and there must have been people who were afraid, and there must have been people who wanted to be able to set foot on the landing ship immediately, but they were all back!

This is the army, with a high degree of discipline, because of the same goal, and gathered together, no matter what danger faced, can firmly hug each other, hand in hand, heart to heart, into the unknown journey together!

At this time, several landing ships were dispatched from the group of warships around the island, and under the cover of helicopters, they slowly sailed towards the island. As the current principal of the Fifth Special Force, Li Xiangshang has already learned to plan before acting, and on the helicopter, he has already thought and deliberated everything he needs to do after entering the island, and even sent his evacuation plan to the temporary command center by radio.

People who have been vaccinated with "cowpox" and are immune to the smallpox virus for life, as long as they are strictly disinfected, they will not become the spreaders of the virus, they can of course be withdrawn from the island, and they can certainly avoid the fate of being eliminated.

But no one could have imagined that out of the 186 people on the island, 71 people were qualified to leave first, and Li Xiangshang, the principal, couldn't persuade one!

The crew of the landing ship are all active Navy officers over the age of 30, and they are also immune to the smallpox virus. On each landing ship, there are also two staff members responsible for disinfection, and complete sets of disinfection equipment. On the island, they will disinfect the first evacuees, and when they arrive on the transport ship, the first evacuees will undergo the second stage, more detailed disinfection, and change all their clothes. Even so, once on land, they will be quarantined and monitored for two weeks until it is certain that the smallpox virus has been completely eradicated.

also watched the landing ship, and finally anchored to the south side of the island, I don't know how many people, gently biting their lips, but in the end, after all, no one left everyone.

"Let them run for nothing." Li Xiangshang whispered to Xue Ningbo: "Come with me, apologize to them, and thank you again." ”

Xue Ningbo nodded lightly, she had never had such intimate contact with a man, she was obviously already hot, and she was so red that she could almost drip blood, but out of nervousness and fear, she still grabbed Li Xiangshang's hand and was unwilling to let go. Under the leadership of Li Xiangshang, she was like a girl who had just fallen in love, obediently followed behind Li Xiangshang and walked to the landing ship.

When the two of them walked together on the beach on the south side of the island, Li Xiangshang suddenly waved his left hand, and his palm drew a short trajectory in the air, with astonishing precision, and fell directly to Xue Ningbo's neck, where the human head and vertebrae jointed.

Xue Ningbo covered her neck with her left hand, she looked back at Li Xiangshang, her face suddenly rose with despair, and then, the boundless darkness completely swallowed her consciousness, until her legs weakened and fell into Li Xiangshang's arms.

Even if he fainted, Xue Ningbo still grabbed Li Xiangshang's right hand, and he grabbed it harder and harder than just now. And her eyes were still wide open, just like that, with out-of-focus eyes, looking at Li Xiangshang wordlessly, as if she was accusing him of treachery.

Li Xiangshang stretched out his left hand and gently swept it over Xue Ningbo's eyelids, making her eyes close, but when his wide palm moved away from Xue Ningbo's face, perhaps because the muscles were too tense, it made Xue Ningbo's eyes suddenly open again.

Li Xiangshang opened his left hand, used his thumb and middle finger, and gently massaged Xue Ningbo's left and right temples for a long time, and then waved his hand again and closed Xue Ningbo's eyes. But when his palm was removed, Xue Ningbo's eyes opened again, and they opened wider and rounder than the last time.

The disinfectant on the landing ship had already set foot on the island, and more than 180 professional soldiers were following him. Li Xiangshang let out a soft sigh in his heart, and under this kind of public gaze, he suddenly lowered his head and gently pressed his lips to Xue Ningbo's lips.

Her braided lips are really cool. But in Li Xiangshang's light sucking, Xue Ningbo's eyes finally closed slowly, and even she grabbed Li Xiangshang's right hand, relaxing a little bit. The reason for this scene may be because, a scene similar to this, which has been played countless times in her mind, has become so familiar that although it is only the first time she has really come into contact, her body has involuntarily accepted Li Xiangshang, and he has completely disarmed, right?

"I'm sorry!"

Li Xiangshang whispered in Xue Ningbo's ear: "Do you know, I have always regarded you as a little sister, but when I kissed you just now, my heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and it was not until that time that I knew that I also liked you equally." ”

Looking at Xue Ningbo's lips, which never touched lipstick, but became delicate because of their light kisses, Li Xiangshang hesitated, and finally lowered his head again, leaving a line of kiss marks on her lips that were obviously much hotter. "But...... As the principal, I had to leave one last core instructor for the school; As a man, I can't drag the woman I like to face the danger of death together. Therefore, I can only send you away in this way, and if there is no way for me to return to you alive, I beg you, don't hate me. ”

After handing Xue Ningbo into the hands of the staff, Li Xiangshang took the other team members and left the island that represented the hope of survival.

Li Xiangshang didn't look back, because he didn't dare!

He was really scared, seeing the two tear stains slowly oozing out of the corners of Xue Ningbo's eyes, his heart that he thought he was so strong and impeccable would become soft, he was really afraid that he would suddenly lose the courage to face death because of this unexpected and precious feeling.

A soldier is the courage of a general, and the soul of a soldier!

In the face of the landing ship and the chance of survival, the 71 professional soldiers, without exception, gave up and left, without confusion, riots, or hysterical struggles, not only because they were well-trained, but also because of Li Xiangshang's appearance, which brought them hope and courage. If he, the supreme commander, loses his courage first, then their group of people will really be finished!

Five landing ships, and in the end only one person was brought back. When they returned, I don't know how many people were looking up, but Li Xiangshang still didn't look back.

A commander, on the battlefield, is inherently ruthless.

(To be continued)
