At the end of the banquet, An Yi immediately took the car to transition all the way to the south. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info came to the incense burner mountain, which is only 21 kilometers away from the straight line distance of Syria, at four o'clock in the afternoon.

When the car reached the foot of the mountain, there was no way out, and the newly built six-meter-wide mud and sand road extended to the village below the mountain, An Yi opened the car door and heard a dense explosion behind the mountainside more than 200 meters above, stirring up gunpowder smoke and earth and rocks rising into the sky, stirring up the mist faintly visible, obviously the masterpiece of the engineer battalion of the Fifth Division of the South Sichuan Garrison Force, which was fighting on the construction site of the large reservoir in Qinglong Valley.

It is the early winter of the incense burner mountain, which is the foggy season, and the vast mist is pregnant with red leaves all over the mountain. The fog of the incense burner mountain is soft as a veil, ethereal and misty, and the trickling air flow rolls up the white mist between the mountains, with coolness and also contains a graceful charm. Looking at the mountain peaks drowning in the dense fog from afar, it is like a girl with affection, and on the cliffs on the top of the mountain, the rattan branches are intertwined and indistinguishable, and the ancient branches of the dragon are indescribable, and the smoke is unpredictable. Legend has it that the fog of the incense burner mountain is different from other places, and the fog of the incense burner mountain has spirituality, dissolving into the majestic incense burner mountain.

An Yi declined the suggestion of riding a horse on a gentle mountain road, and put a crockpot of more than 30 catties of rice wine into the back basket. Quickly carried up, jumped out of the car of the little Kunming dog "Wang" barked twice, An Yi happily picked up the puppy and put it in the back basket, and with more than 100 brothers who carried or carried a large amount of food, tobacco and alcohol, strode behind the garrison commander Yang Bin and deputy commander Deng Bin and others to climb the mountain.

The vast white fog, a little farther away can not be seen clearly, An Yi can only be like everyone, along the winding mountain road all the way up, among the ancient trees all over the mountain, weeds, flowers, branches and young bamboos are shrouded in mist, An Yi's sideburns, eyebrows, clothes and pants upper, and even the whole person's body, as if there are traces of fog, the viewing platform at the top of the distance, in the gap between the clouds and mist blown by the mountain wind, disappears from time to time.

Finally passing through a fog area, An Yi stood on the mountainside, turned around to look, and saw the continuous peaks rising between the sea of clouds, and the milky white mist all over the mountains and valleys was rolling and surging.

After a short break, everyone continued on the road, passing through a dense forest, turning nine bends, and the long dusk mist appeared in front of them again.

Following the direction of the loud trumpet, An Yi looked intently, only to see that thousands of soldiers and civilians in the valley were either naked with hammers or using wooden poles to lift huge stones, and a wide embankment more than ten meters high and more than eighty meters long had been built. Everywhere was a labor of people, hunting and fluttering flags were planted all over the valley, and the numbers representing the companies of the garrison and the engineering corps were faintly seen on the banners.

Sweating profusely and panting, An Yi and his brothers were moved by the construction scene in full swing in front of them, and they didn't have time to stop to wipe off the sweat and fog on their faces, so they quickened their pace and walked down the carved mountain road.

"OMG! It turned out to be Commander An......"

"Old Chief.......

"Teacher's ......"

"Brother Xia, the boss is here—"

When the officers and soldiers saw An Yi and others coming down from the mountainside path, they were so surprised that they shouted one after another.

Xia Jian, who was budgeting the construction period with two engineers of the engineering corps and four Belarusian architects above the embankment, raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and immediately stood up after hearing it clearly, apologized excitedly, turned around and ran in the direction of the brothers' shouting, rushed to An Yi, who was sweating profusely with a basket on his back, and looked at An Yi excitedly.

Hearing the laughter of Yang Bin and others beside him, Xia Jian hurriedly stepped forward to hold An Yi's back basket, took it off and put it on the ground with a little force, and complained loudly about Yang Bin and Deng Bin without raising his head:

"Old Yang, Brother Deng, how can you let the boss carry such a heavy back basket? His internal wounds have not yet healed, and you don't know it, really...... And you, Lao Shen, don't think that I won't talk about you if you carry a big back basket. And you, Xiao Jiu, it's really a ...... of his *** words."

An Yi grabbed Xia Jian's hand, caressed the Dao Dao gap above distressedly, and saw that the other hand that had lost half of his palm was also full of blood blisters, shook his head and whispered in a sad whisper:

"As a lieutenant general and deputy commander, how can you do this? The commander should do the commandant's job, do you think you are better equipped than your brothers to do these heavy physical tasks? Putting the cart before the horse, it's too unusual! ”

Xia Jian grinned: "Aren't you, the deputy chief of staff of the whole army, also carrying the same back basket?" Ha ha...... Yo! I smell the wine, and the braised elbows, right? Gee! The boss still knows me, and he didn't forget to bring some wine when he came to inspect...... Hey? Where did the puppy come from? It looks pretty good, prettier than all those puppies in our military dog base! ”

Shen Fengdao took the coat in Xia Jian's adjutant hand and draped it on Xia Jian's muscular body: "Just two days after it was delivered, Yigong knew that the commander liked Kunming dogs, so he got two puppies in Xiaguan that were said to be one in a thousand miles and were consigned by air, and the commander left a little female dog, this male specially carried it to you, don't look at it is small now, it will be a strong big dog in a few months." ”

Xia Jian happily squatted down and gently hugged the puppy, the puppy didn't recognize it, licked Xia Jian's injured wound affectionately, raised his head after licking a few times, and called at Xia Jian a few times, as if he was in love with Xia Jian.

Xia Jian smiled and said, "What a spiritual little thing! I have to take good care of it, and when my wife brings my son over next month, I will give it to my son as a companion, and he will definitely be happy! By the way, Lao Ding, you can help me get this textbook for dog training when you go back. I'm going to train and train well.,Maybe it's a treasure of my family in the future.,Hehe! ”

"Okay, whether it's you training yourself, or I'll send a trainer from the military dog base to teach your son by hand, it's okay!" Ding Zhicheng smiled when he agreed, and all the brothers also smiled.

Xia Jian led An Yi and others up to the embankment where the crowd was surging, and said loudly to his brothers and villagers that Commander An had just arrived in Syria today and came to the construction site to visit everyone, thousands of soldiers and civilians cheered in unison, extremely moved, An Yi waved around, greeted and thanked loudly, and finally walked to several Chinese and foreign engineers to salute politely, and then shook hands cordially, and got together to talk for a while.

An Yi asked several Belarusian engineers if they were used to it and what their requirements were? Several rigorous Belarusian experts thanked them one after another, saying that tens of thousands of their compatriots had received good reception and living subsidies from the garrisons and governments of Xiangxi and southern Sichuan, and that they had no worries about their lives, and that they had gradually found satisfactory jobs, and that they were very satisfied in all other aspects, except that there were still problems in language exchanges, and that the Belarusian compatriots were deeply moved by the preferential treatment they received in terms of housing, family placement, and salaries, and the trust and dignity they had gained. Everyone is willing to devote all their knowledge and enthusiasm to the vigorous construction of southern Sichuan.

An Yi happily encouraged, and then asked about the construction of the Qinglong Valley Reservoir, and Wu Baosheng, a colonel engineer of the Construction Corps, introduced:

"The construction period has been carried out so far, three-fifths of the plan has been completed, and it will be built before the arrival of the spring flood next year, with more than 5,000 people participating in the construction every day, and the villagers from the surrounding 14 villages take turns to participate in the construction, and the progress is very fast.

The Qinglong Reservoir is designed to hold 6.5 million cubic meters of water, and thanks to the natural walls formed by the sturdy and steep mountains on both sides, we only need to build a dam at the mouth of the valley that can regulate the amount of water. This major project will soon be completed by building a main water diversion canal along the ravines that have been washed out by flash floods over the past 100 years, and then building a diversion channel for each village.

After the completion of the construction, the villagers of the surrounding 16 villages will no longer have to encounter flash floods in the thunderstorm season, and look for water everywhere in the dry season, more than 130,000 acres of dry land will be able to grow rice and wheat, and the fighting between villages that have survived generations because of water sources for hundreds of years will no longer exist.

In addition, if a little construction of many rocky hollows and depressions will become very good fish ponds, the living standards of the people in the surrounding 180 square kilometers will be increased several times, and the cultivation of grain in two seasons a year will no longer be a dream. ”

"Good, good! You must remember to put forward a request: a hundred years plan, quality first! This is not only a slogan, but also a principle, we must strictly grasp the quality of the project, dare not say how many generations will benefit future generations, at least to ensure that there will be no problems for a hundred years! ”

An Yi earnestly advised, thought about it carefully, and asked Xia Jian in a low voice: "From the start of construction to the present, how are the casualties?" ”

"Seven engineer brothers were killed in the mountain bombing, four engineer brothers were killed in other accidents, and tens of thousands of villagers worked day and night, but we couldn't persuade them to go back, and as a result, 12 people died of exhaustion. But don't worry, all in accordance with our army pension standards, to every sacrifice of brothers and villagers have put a pension, the villagers are so moved, at first no one is willing to accept the money, the result of mobilization for a long time to accept, the villagers in southern Sichuan are good! Xia Jian sighed slightly.

An Yi was very moved, thought about it and told Xia Jian, Wu Baosheng and others: "After the reservoir is completed, build a monument in a conspicuous position, and engrave the process of the project and the sacrificed soldiers and civilians on it, we can't forget them." ”

"Understood! Several subordinates also had such thoughts, but the construction site was too busy to go back to ask for instructions and reports, Deputy Commander Xia had agreed, he came here for more than ten days, and stayed with the soldiers and civilians every day for food, lodging and work, which had a great effect on morale. The progress of the project has also accelerated a lot. Wu Baosheng replied.

An Yi nodded again and again with satisfaction, and after talking for a while to see that the sky was getting dark, he took Xia Jian's hand at the moment, walked to the hill where no one was, took out a cigarette, lit one for Xia Jian, and then said in a low voice:

"I really wronged you by letting you serve as the deputy commander of the southern Sichuan garrison. I know your temperament, although it has always been difficult to work and train, but there are not many times you torture yourself like this. Let's hear it, if you don't want to be this deputy commander, I will transfer you to the 24th Army as a mentor and division commander later, what do you think? ”

Xia Jian was stunned for a moment, took a few puffs of cigarette, and sighed: "Boss, to be honest, I feel very uncomfortable, a good Nanchang area, from a small county town full of tens of thousands of people to a big city with hundreds of thousands of people, how much effort and how many brothers' lives have we paid?" But all of a sudden, it's gone, I can't figure it out!

These days, I have been holding back, from leaving the main division to the formation of the second-line troops in old Nanchang, just after the test has improved a little, it has been plotted, I have been enduring, I know that you are not easy, you have to take care of the overall situation, but I don't have a taste in my heart...... Let's not talk about promotions, although I also care about these, but compared to the foundation we have created, it is not worth mentioning at all.

Boss, since you asked me today, I also ask you: How long will you have to endure it? No, let's pull up the team** mother, it's better than being controlled everywhere, we can't bear it any longer......"

An Yi hugged Xia Jian, who was tearful in his eyes: "I swear, I will never give anyone a chance to plot against us again, over the years, Lao Tzu has been living like a grandson, from now on, there will never be such a thing again, if anyone dares to calculate us again, even if this person is Commander-in-Chief Jiang, Lao Tzu will tear his face with him!"

Believe me, I will do what I say, for so many years, I have not sworn a few times, you know this, today I make a heavy oath in front of you: never let my relatives, my brothers shed tears of grievance, whoever dares to infringe on our interests again, will definitely be an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth! ”

"Boss...... I'm just waiting for your words, with this sentence, no matter how hard and tired I am, I have no regrets about Xia Jian......"
