Chapter XXIV: Military Service

A year has passed in a blink of an eye, since the end of the second five-year plan meeting, the entire Tangcun Industrial Zone has entered the final sprint stage, everyone is full of energy, this scene Wang Lin has seen in his eyes, which has deeply moved Wang Lin, he must unify China as soon as possible, so that the people of the whole country have a good life.

Not to mention anything else, at least they can freely dispose of their own time, at least two days off a week, they can go to the boss to ask for wages when they work, and there are no worries, no one dares to look down on them when they go out, they can eat what they want to eat at every meal, and they can relax with their families during the holidays.

This is Wang Lin's personal experience after a year, to be honest, since the content of the second five-year plan was decided, Wang Lin began to plan the third five-year plan step by step, and now there is a trace of wrinkles, but according to the current situation, he can only speed up the pace of development, as soon as possible to let the people live the life they wanted.

More important is what will happen in the future, it is now May 17, 1894, and there will be a war in four months, Wang Lin must do his best to preserve the strength of Beiyang, and also for the best plan of his navy in the future.

"District Chief, it's time to go, it's time for us to go to the 1st regiment station." Ren Jie next to him reminded in a whisper that a year ago, Tang Yun recommended Ren Jie to Wang Lin, who was careful and didn't like great achievements, so Wang Lin took him to his side as a secretary.

The title of district magistrate is self-appointed by Wang Lin, now he is the district magistrate, and he will be the governor of Hainan Province when he is defeated, what will happen in the future? Wang Lin didn't know either, but he only knew that he had to work hard.

Wang Lin put down the documents in his hand, put them in the safe, and then slowly started, and went to the first regiment of garrisons with Ren Jie, today is the new military service system, the first batch of veterans to return home, Wang Lin decided to personally go to the garrison to send them off. Before going out, Wang Lin once again put on the straight military uniform, carrying two olive branches on his shoulders, and the epaulettes surrounded by five gold stars in a circle on the top.

Every time he sees this epaulettes, Wang Lin doesn't feel like laughing, in his previous life, because of his short-sightedness, although it was only a hundred degrees, but it didn't matter and he had no money, he was naturally rejected by the army, and when he came to this world, he had to be a soldier, didn't he? This ordered someone to make such a set of epaulettes, of course, in the previous life, there was naturally no such a high rank, and the highest was just a three-star general. As for generals and marshals, only those who were the founding fathers could get them.

When he arrived here, Wang Lin also wore a set of self-made five-star general epaulettes quite narcissistically, and became his five-star marshal leisurely.

Soon, Wang Lin and Ren Jie, as well as the top ten guards, came to the first regiment station, and the guards carefully checked the pass before letting go, Wang Lin nodded secretly, such a well-disciplined army that does not disturb the people and does not bully the people is the army he wants, Tang San and the others seem to have lived up to their expectations.

"Stand upright!"

"Salute!"

The entire group of thousands of people straightened up and gave a military salute to Wang Lin. The first few rows of people were brought with big red flowers on their chests, which will indicate that they are about to be discharged from the army, and they are about to leave the army, the longest of these people has stayed in the army for five years, and the shortest has stayed for three years.

"Report to the army commander, the first regiment of the first division of the new first army is in the process of deranking, please instruct!" Tang San, as the head of a regiment, stood at the front of the entire team and reported loudly.

"Take a break!" Wang Lin replied with enthusiasm, today he saw that these hot-blooded men were about to leave the army, he couldn't help but feel a little hurt in his heart, these are the heroes of the country, they are their own heroes, although they have never fought a battle, have not made a contribution to the country, but it is their existence that makes Wang Lin sleep peacefully at night, and he can do things with peace of mind.

Until now, Wang Lin suddenly didn't want these loveliest people to leave, looking at the tears on the faces of the soldiers who were about to leave, Wang Lin's heart hurt like a knife, and tears slipped down the corners of his eyes.

'I can't cry, I can't cry, I'm their commander, I can't cry, even if there are tears, I can only cry in my heart. Wang Lin continued to encourage himself, quietly wiped away the tears hanging on his cheeks, cleared his throat, and stood at the front of the whole team.

"Soldiers." As soon as Wang Lin Gang said this, all the soldiers and officers, regardless of whether they were about to retire from the army or not, moved together in a neat and uniform pace, from the original slight breath to standing upright, this is the quality that a soldier should have, a neat and uniform pace, a neat and uniform voice.

"Soldiers, be strong, don't be overly sad about today's departure, in fact you should feel happy, feel happy, you should feel sad for those who remain, because there are things that you will gain, and they will lose, and there are people who will be lost forever.

You are about to leave, as a military commander, I don't have any gifts for you to keep as a souvenir, originally I wanted to let you take away your current outfit except for weapons and ammunition, but in order to prevent some lawbreakers from pretending to be our soldiers, and more importantly, our soldiers have not appeared so far, for the sake of absolute secrecy, for the safety of the entire Tangcun District, I can only order your epaulettes to be removed, and when you leave, you can only take away your military uniforms and shoes.

But don't be sad, you must know that everything has a beginning and an end, everyone should have a piece of their own thing or memory, you have experienced this iron-blooded day, and then you should know how to cherish life.

Finally, I would like to explain to you why I will allow you to take your military uniforms and shoes, that is, I think that one day, you will receive a call order from the army, calling you to return to the army to serve in the army again, and to work hard for our future, you can wear the military uniform you took with you today to report, which is a military honor. Saying this, Wang Linqiang withstood the bitterness in his heart, and looked at the soldiers below with eager eyes.

"Long live, long live the army commander, long live the new First Army, long live the Tangcun District!" The soldiers shouted in unison.

"Finally, as the commander of the army, I give you a final order, and I personally implore you all to be able to accomplish this task. After returning home from the army, in addition to work, I hope that you can all find your other half and continue your own incense as soon as possible. In addition, please do not forget what you have learned in the army, please maintain your current constitution, and do not give up on yourself. ”

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

After coming out of the first regiment, Wang Lin went to several other regiments, and Wang Lin went to all the troops of the new first army in one morning, and the departure of thousands of people took away the bursts of sadness, endless thoughts, and a trace of longing, longing for the army to remember them one day and call them back.
