Chapter 20: The Romance of Landia Island
"Bullshit, it's a time when men can't control it. But your identities are different, and you should keep in mind the self-discipline methods taught by Tao Da Meinu. When you enter the Sharp Knife Brigade, you will always be a sharp knife, and you will be the sharp knife of the country for life. I'm a layman, I can't get past this, and I always lose the battle in front of women......"
The director began to "self-harm", Yu Songyuan didn't want to dwell on this topic, so he said "sincerely": "Director, 186 is short of funds, and Xiao Yuan is a safe base for 186. This time, we have solved part of the profits in advance, and have already transferred 200,000 yuan to the financial account of the brigade, please pay attention to check it after you return to the brigade. Plus, we have a lot of ...... Lots of bugs. However, we love the party, the people, the country, and the army......"
"Shi Ju is an iron rooster, the brigade's funds are really stretched, and 'No. 1' and 'No. 2' are worried about money all day long. You saved Miss Xiao, you got back a God of Wealth for 186. Listen to me, the country needs you to go into battle to kill the enemy, and 186 needs you even more. Don't be sad, it's not that serious. You have to learn a lesson, and you have to be like a man when you encounter trouble! ”
The director is a kind-hearted man, and he knows that "No. 1" and "No. 2" are far away in Lancang, but he agrees that he will be a special messenger for a member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee of the brigade, which is obviously to let him have a deep understanding of the brother squad. To put it bluntly, "No. 1" and "No. 2" are preparing to "protect calves", and I hope that he, the director of the logistics department, can fire their guns in advance at the Standing Committee of the Party Committee.
During the three days in Xiao Yuan's underground war room, he had already figured it out and decided to be a "cannon barrel". Therefore, he "disregarded his principles" and kept comforting Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao.
After sending the director away, Lin Tao said very gentlemanly, "Boss, we have made a lot of achievements, and the brigade will not fire us." I am the only one who caused the matter, and if there is a day, the Brotherhood will take all the responsibility and will never affect you. ”
". There are some things you can't bear! Yu Songyuan was in a very annoyed mood and didn't want to talk about it more.
The summer vacation of 1984 came, and the students all returned to their hometowns to visit their families. However, the special training team canceled the summer vacation and received special training in the use of equipment in the laboratory almost every day, and the teachers were senior researchers from the two equipment research institutes.
Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao devoted themselves to training, and Xiao Yuchan and Xu Youyu were even more busy. Especially Xiao Yuchan, she thinks about her daughter, often runs at both ends, and is very tired. They also knew in their hearts that the date of their expedition was not far off.
Yu Songyuan and his teammates were training intensely under the scorching sun, and they were experiencing a life and death test on the small island of Landia in the Gulf of Siam in the Indochina Peninsula.
LanTia Island, located at the junction of Gunthep Bay and the Gulf of Siam, is itself part of the Gulf of Siam. It also has a fragrant name, called "Leadabefuddledlifeasifdrunkorinadream", if it has to be translated into Chinese, it should be called "drunken life dream death" island. Throughout the 60s and 70s, it was the gentle hometown of the soldiers of country M, and it was also the most famous place in the world.
The island, which is only a few square kilometers in size and about 100 kilometers from the capital city of Gunthep, is a tourist destination. The landmark building of the island is the Thousand Buddha Boxing Club, located on the hill in the middle of the island, is a European-style building, the magnificent boxing gym.
The island is densely packed with large hostels, private rental cabins, more than a dozen large star-rated hotels and luxury nightclubs, dozens of style bars, men and women from all over the world, wearing slippers and all kinds of casual clothes, walking through. A modern wharf with regular ferries connecting with Lam Bancha and Putanthep, Prakan and Pattaya, and the water transportation is very developed.
It was only nine o'clock in the morning, and the sun was already hanging high in the sky like a huge fireball. The scorching sun bakes the beach hot and makes it impossible to open your eyes. Two speedboats carrying tourists are speeding on the green sea. Flocks of seagulls, chasing yachts, flying, frolicking, and hunting on the masttops.
The beaches here are all coarse white sand, and the water is clear and transparent, and many tourists are playing in the water. A few beautiful men were playing volleyball on the beach, and some hot bikini girls wearing straw hats and sunglasses surrounded the court in a large circle, and from time to time there were bursts of screams.
In this resort known for its nightlife, more tourists are still lazy after a crazy nightlife. At this moment, the hills, reefs, forests, old European-style buildings, long wooden walkways by the sea, and grass-roofed wooden houses scattered all over the island are shaking violently.
On the hill in the middle of the island, in a luxurious old European-style five-story building, a tall white European man and a sturdy white European woman are practicing kickboxing on thick green mats. The man carried one hand behind his back, and the other hand was only parrying, not attacking, and he was obviously training the woman. And the woman is wearing a tight-fitting training uniform, which is extremely fierce, pressing every step and making fierce moves.
This is a luxurious private boxing gym inside the Thousand Buddha Boxing Club, which is actually a small boxing gym.
When the two were fighting inextricably, they suddenly heard a dull sound like thunder under the ground, rolling away. Both of them were unsteady on their feet at the same time, and everything in the room seemed to start shaking. The two of them didn't know what was happening in the road, and just as they were trying to stand still, the man suddenly flew up and swept the woman a few meters away. As soon as he was struggling, a pigeon rolled over and jumped away.
At this moment, there was a loud "boom", and the large chandelier overhead fell to the ground with a bang and shattered.
The rest of the chandeliers and hanging bags also began to shake violently, and the indoor furniture staggered, and the two realized that a strong earthquake had occurred. The man picked the woman up sideways and rushed to the outdoor corridor.
But when they rushed to the corridor in a panic, the man suddenly put the woman down like an electric shock, amid everyone's panic. Because, the earthquake is just a few times, and it is over.
"Thomas, let's go!" The woman grabbed the man and tried to run away as soon as possible.
The man remained motionless, his mouth wide open, and he looked out of the large window in shock.
“Oh,myGod!” The woman followed the man's gaze and looked out, and she was stunned, her little hand covered her mouth, and her face turned pale.
It turned out that the sea in front of the island was about a few kilometers away, and the tsunami caused by the earthquake was slowly surging towards the island. Fortunately, there were no boats on the pier at this time, but most of the tourists on the beach who were sheltering from the earthquake, especially those playing in the water, were not aware of the danger. Many more, dressed only in bikinis, were still in a state of panic and panic, looking around in a daze.
Under coconut palms, plantain trees, palm trees and white pergolas tied to tree trunks by the sea, countless tourists lie on white beach chairs and enjoy the warm Pacific monsoon. Vendors and small shops selling fruits and drinks are still calmly soliciting customers. The volleyball match on the beach continued after a short pause, and more tourists joined the crowd.
Directly below the villa, under the hills, among the dense palm forests, dozens of grass-roofed wooden houses are scattered in a patchwork manner. There are also countless deck chairs under the pergola covered with vine plants in front of the wooden house, and visitors from all over the world are enjoying the peace and tranquility of the island in the afternoon with their temporary rented "brides".
Since ancient times, the government has banned gambling and prostitution, and the people laugh at the poor and do not laugh at prostitution.
In some poor areas, being a prostitute is merely a profession. Before the withdrawal of the M Army from Southeast Asia in 1976, it was a great honor for families with girls to serve the M Army, and it was an important source of family income. Many girls were then sold into brothels and became prostitutes ever since.
The most attractive tourist attraction of this small island is the "bride rental".
Most of the so-called "brides" are actually young prostitutes. In Siam in the seventies and eighties, some poor families, girls from the age of seven or eight, good-looking would be sold into bars or brothels, and generally in their teens would be forced to pick up customers. Visitors from all over the world have their eyes on one or even a few, and they can rent it for a few days, months, or even years.
These girls start to do it in their teens, and by the time they are in their twenties, most of them will automatically become good and get married.
The other part of the "bride" is a shemale. Prostitution is also a "high-risk" activity in Siam. If you are not careful, the "girl" you fancy may be a charming "man".
Some boys from poor families, who are good-looking, will be sent to special training schools from a very young age, where they will be taken or injected with a large amount of estrogen-containing drugs, so that the masculine characteristics will fade, the chest and buttocks will be plump and round, the skin will be delicate, and the appearance will become "female". A small number of people will choose to undergo surgery to completely change their gender and become transgender.
Shemales are mainly in nightclubs and bars, engaged in theatrical performances. Some ladyboy art troupes have a certain level of artistic performance. But there are also some who will become "brides", and many European and American tourists, who are gay and gay, come to Siam to travel in search of "Fang". They are fond of shemales and rent them as temporary "brides", which is known as their "love point".
Disaster is approaching, and no one realizes that the nightmare is coming......
The white man came to his senses in an instant, and he rushed to a control room with a loudspeaker device that could summon the entire island. He turned on the button and shouted loudly in English on the radio: "The tsunami is coming, all personnel, quickly gather on the mountain!" The tsunami came, all the personnel, quickly retreated to the mountains......"
The sudden screams from the loudspeakers woke up the panicked people on the beach.
Everyone noticed the danger, and the people began to run for their lives up the hill. The high wall formed by the tsunami slowly rolled towards the shore. It chased the footsteps of tourists fleeing for their lives, and with the energy that swept everything, it instantly surrounded the small island, and the low-lying land was completely submerged. The villages, shops, stalls, and some people who couldn't run were quickly swallowed up by the boiling water......
After only a few dozen minutes, the sea receded. The huts and huts by the sea were completely destroyed. The islands and beaches are littered with the bodies of countless victims.
Eighty-eight people were killed in the tsunami, and the man quickly reported the situation to the Siam local government. Later, it was learned that this was a small tsunami caused by an undersea earthquake, and the small islands in the Gulf of Siam were the hardest hit areas, and more than 550 people were killed.
