Chapter 90: Flat Thunder (Medium)

Pale cyan smoke slipped out of the kitchens, converging into a faint blue-gray mist over the city, and the humid air was filled with the fragrance of firewood and breakfast.

From time to time in the streets and alleys of the city, the sound of women shouting to their husbands and calling them to have breakfast was heard, and at this time, the men who had been organized for military training under the "Organic Law on National Military Training" were already in groups of threes and twos, wearing black military uniforms from the main street into the alleys, and when the men entered the house, they would always politely invite the people around them, while the others politely refused.

Although every day in the month of Wax had to be aroused at half past five to conduct an hour of military training, after nearly a year of the implementation of the plan, especially a large number of people who refused to carry out the training were severely punished, and even sentenced and conscripted, although there were some complaints, people have become accustomed to two hours of physical training every day, half a day of military training every week, and once every six months, a period of 15 days.

Even those who oppose the Organic Law on National Military Training have noticed that the year-long military training for the whole people has significantly enhanced the physical fitness of the people, and when the training began in December last year, the military and hospitals conducted a detailed examination of the physical condition of the trainees throughout the country, and a year later, according to the re-examination, The chest circumference of the trainees increased by 4.6 cm, the average weight increased by 3.5 kg, the body muscle mass increased significantly, the average grip strength increased by 10 kg, lung function is the most important indicator to evaluate the combat effectiveness of soldiers, and it was found through the respiratory function test that compared with before the training, the lung capacity increased by an average of 502 ml. This means that the physique of the participants has improved significantly.

This is a very common old-fashioned house, blue bricks and green tiles, from the outside, the small house is divided into two floors, the same as the surrounding houses, it looks very ancient, and even the Spring Festival couplets pasted during the Spring Festival last year are still left on both sides of the door, but the original red Spring Festival couplets faded badly, the upper half is still red, but it has become white below.

The morning sun entered the room through the half-open door, illuminating half of the room, and darkness shrouded in darkness where the sun could not shine. Half of it is bright, half of it is dark, and it looks a little gloomy. In spite of this, the home is extremely tidy, which is another effect of the military training of the whole people, and the people's way of life has changed radically during the year, and the home has become more and more clean and hygienic, which is not unrelated to the men's habit of cleanliness and hygiene in the training camps, but also to the supervision of household hygiene carried out by the "Imperial Women's Association", and because of this, the changes in China in the past have even exceeded the changes in the past few decades.

"Mom, the teacher said let's bring five yuan each to the school, and our school will organize a trip to the Three Gorges after the holiday next week."

Liang Dacheng drank gruel and muttered vaguely, the national school organizes scout trips every year, both near and far, and the cost is often subsidized by the government, in the summer, they will be trained in the nearest scouts, and in the winter, they are often organized to go on a tour, which is to let them visit the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, and at the same time, they can further enhance their collective consciousness through collective activities.

As soon as he raised his head, Liang Dacheng's eyes were fixed on his father who was sitting on the top seat drinking porridge while reading the newspaper, this is a habit he has just developed in the past six months, and he did not have the habit of reading newspapers at all in the past, but because during the break in military training, everyone often talks about national affairs, so he also developed the habit of reading newspapers:

"Dad, give me five dollars!"

"Nope!"

Liang Jiafu, who was reading the newspaper while drinking porridge, did not raise his head, and replied in a muffled voice.

"What does this school do all day long! I went to Mount Tai during last year's winter vacation, and I went to the Three Gorges during this year's winter vacation, and I will go to Hainan Island next year. If I'm not mistaken, last year in Mount Tai, I also fell to death a student, whose baby is not the meat of the heart, really! ”…,

muttered that Liang Jiafu expressed his dissatisfaction, in his opinion, the country is good, but there is a little bit of badness, that is, well, according to the lawyer's lawyer Song, that is, the squad leader, "the state interferes too much in personal affairs", yes, there is too much interference, it is mandatory for every man over the age of 18 and under 45 to undergo military training, all students in schools must join the Scouts, and even those girls have to read what "Life" magazine, and then follow the introduction inside, Maintain basic hygiene in the home.

What qualified citizens must be qualified soldiers first, what empire security depends on the national military, what healthy and educated women are related to the future of the empire, in short, the government has such and such reasons, fortunately, the price of this training uniform is sixty percent lower than the market price, fortunately, the bullets used in this training are provided by the government, otherwise, I am afraid that Liang Jiafu will complain early in the morning.

Liang Xu, who was sitting next to Liang Da and was chewing slowly, heard her husband's words, but she didn't have any words, she knew that her husband, although he complained, would still give money in the end.

"Eat it."

As soon as he finished drinking the porridge in the bowl, Liang Dacheng pushed the bowl, and the chopsticks hit the porcelain bowl hard, making a crisp sound. Liang Dada wiped the corner of his mouth casually with his hand:

"In the past, people who went to the Three Gorges took a train to Anqing to take a wheel, and the teacher said that this time we had to walk there, and we had to stay on the road for one night, and it would take two days to walk through, and we would still walk back when we came back."

"It takes more than 100 miles to go back and forth, and the train used to go back and forth in a good way, so why do you have to leave this time? Is your principal crazy? What if an accident happens on the road to a group of middle school students? If you want to spend the night outside, will the teacher help you cover the quilt at night? ”

Liang Da's mother walked out of the kitchen, wiped her hand on her apron, and said with a dissatisfied expression.

Liang Jiafu put down the newspaper, sat there and echoed:

"Yes, if you don't look at the Three Gorges for a hundred years, it's still like that. There's so much to see! When you go to school, you say that our family doesn't have that much money to spare! If you don't go this time, when you are admitted to college in the future, your father and I will buy you a car, and you will drive there by yourself. ”

Since six years ago, after the first time he took a car, he dreamed of buying a car, but after six years, the car was still far away from him, and he wanted to buy a car a few times, but because he only needed to walk for half an hour to the factory where he went to work, in the end this dream was just a dream, but during the training last week, I heard Lawyer Song mention that his son was going to be admitted to college, so he bought a car for him, and immediately started to think about buying a car for his son. He can also open it as Lao Tzu!

"I said, why are you doing this?!"

Liang Da saw that his parents refused to pay, and his father said that he would not be allowed to participate in the trip with his classmates, his eyebrows were furrowed, and his mouth immediately pursed to hang the oil bottle.

"I'm sixteen years old, it's a group activity, and if I don't go, I'll let people gossip. But five dollars, not five hundred! ”

"Tsk, it's not too old, it's not too small. That's it! How much money do you make a month now? Just know that rubbing my father and mother are so big, I won't earn a penny, and my tone is still so big! It costs five yuan to go out to play, and this money is printed by our family? ”

Seeing his son's wild words, Liang Jiafu's heart suddenly swelled with unhappiness, what has their generation suffered, where they know the importance of money and the difficulty of making money.

"When your father was on the dock back then, he worked hard for a day, and only earned dozens of copper plates a day, if it weren't for ......"

As soon as he saw his father and was there, Liang Da immediately pouted, looking disdainful, although he still has some memories of his childhood life at home, but in his opinion, it is all in the past, and people have to look forward. …,

The red sun revealed half of its small face behind the distant mountains, sprinkling ten thousand rays of light into the world through the pale green smoke in mid-air. Soon, the sun rose from behind the mountain and turned into a dazzling golden disc, and the color gradually faded, and the majestic sun made it impossible to look up. The smoke and morning fog faded in the sunlight, and finally a wisp of wind blew away without a trace.

Pedestrians poured out of the alleys of the city, bustling people towards their destinations. Car bells are ringing, horns are blaring, bicycles are shuttling around the cars, and the few cars are slow like snails in the surging flow of people.

Liang Dacheng was walking on the sidewalk by the side of the road with his schoolbag on his back, and a string of crisp car bells came behind him.

"Hey! Dachengzi, come up. ”

"Xiao Linzi? What's this night today? I've been waiting for you for a while."

As soon as he turned his head and saw his good friend Lin Wenqin behind him, jumping off the bicycle, Liang Dada hurriedly jumped on his bicycle, Xiao Linzi and he were classmates when he was in elementary school.

"Don't mention it, my old man didn't know what gunpowder he ate today, so he trained me early in the morning,"

Lin Wenqin complained while riding his bicycle.

"I guess I was trained by the squad leader during the training this morning."

Lin Wenqin's face was smiling when he spoke, it was beautiful, it seemed that he was fantasizing about the appearance of the old man when he was lectured, and there was a trace of being a son in the gloating appearance.

"Xiao Linzi, you kid, just curse your father!"

"Hey, don't blame me, the old man at home, if it weren't for the fact that when his grandfather was alive, he invested in the stocks of Huainan Coal Mine and left him a little foundation, plus the history of the current drug ban, as far as his temper is concerned, it is estimated that this family has already made him almost defeated, and it is really my grandfather, who calculated that the old man will sell the land as soon as possible, and the stock, he can only take dividends, not sell ......"

"Come on, don't brag about your grandfather's vision, I'm going to the Three Gorges next week, I don't know if the Third Girls' School is on a boat with us,"

"Hey Dachengzi, are you thinking about your ......sister Song again?"

", who, who misses her......"

As he spoke, the two teenagers were still riding their bicycles towards the school, but at this time, the faces of the two were just carefree teenagers......

There she is!

Seeing the figure snuggling on the side of the board from a distance, Liang Dacheng only felt that his heart was beating violently a few times.

"Look, your sister Song is alone now, and she can't go over!"

Poked Liang Dacheng, who was standing stupidly next to him, with his elbow pok, Lin Wenqin said with a wicked smile. The so-called Sister Song is Song Yu of the Third Girls' School, a very beautiful girl, during the summer training camp, Liang Da, who served as a simulated wounded, enjoyed Song Yu's bandaging, and carved this girl in his mind.

Under Lin Wenqin's encouragement, Liang Dacheng walked over a little nervously, and then squeaked and said hello.

"Song, Song Yu!"

When he turned his head and looked at this boy, Song Yu was at a loss.

"You ......"

"Wounded three, three!"

Hearing the No. 3 wounded, Song Yu still remembered this person.

"You're here too?"

"Hmm!"

Nodding blankly, seeing that everyone else was walking towards the port side, Liang Dacheng asked without words.

"Student Song, why don't you go to see the welcome ceremony, everyone seems to have gone!"

After getting on the ship, Liang Dacheng learned that Yuan Shikai, the president of the House of Nobles, was also on this small mail ship, and before the ship docked at Wuchang Port, hundreds of students crowded to the port side, wanting to see the ceremony of welcoming the "big official".

"What's there to see, it's just a lively scene!"

Song Yu, who was snuggled on the side of the board, looked very quiet, as if there was nothing in this world that could attract her attention, perhaps it was her coldness and quietness that made Liang Dacheng unforgettable. …,

"This kid ......"

Looking at his good friend and Sister Song chatting there from a distance, Lin Wenqin, who was bored, was leaning on the stern of the ship, looking at the Hanyang Iron Works on the other side of the river, which was built by the painstaking efforts of Lao Xiangguo, and now China's third largest steel plant, and the largest heavy industry enterprise in central China.

Will go down the gangway, see Wang Shizhen on the dock, the new governor of Hubei, Yuan Shikai's slightly sick face squeezed out a smile, in recent months, his health has become worse and worse, coupled with the psychological impact of "the Yuan family is only sixty", making him fear of death at the same time, but more and more nostalgic, always think of those old people in Beiyang, and Wang Shizhen is naturally one of them.

Seeing the old man come over, Wang Shizhen, who had not seen the old man for a year, only felt a heat in front of him, the current old handsome still has the appearance of the year, if there was no old handsome judge of the situation, I am afraid that there is no old Beiyang people today, and on the other hand, the old handsome ...... The old handsome man is really old!

"Hiring ......"

Yuan Shikai, who was far away, shouted Wang Shizhen's words enthusiastically, and his footsteps were naturally much faster.

"Old handsome ......"

Although it has been many years, some titles cannot be changed, when Wang Shizhen greeted him, suddenly, a slight strange sound in his ears only made him turn his head to look west, only to see a truck rushing over.

"It's okay, it's in a hurry!"

Driving the truck, seeing that on the wharf, Governor Wang Shizhen was standing on the wharf, and the gangway of the mail ship had not been lowered, Li Shaoshao secretly rejoiced in his heart, and at the same time looked at the iron fence separating the freight wharf and the passenger wharf, there was not even a cement platform under the iron fence, only a simple iron fence that opened as soon as it hit.

It was that iron fence that made the comrades who were dissuading them from giving up the idea of doing something at the Ziqiang University that day, and the iron fence opened as soon as it hit, as long as the truck was driven all the way through, it would definitely be successful, of course, if it was hit by a car, it was obviously impossible, but if it was used with explosives, ten tons of explosives, the result would be very different, ten tons of explosives, enough to level the hundreds of meters of Fang Yuan.

"I hope they can forgive me!"

Thinking of the innocent people who would be injured by the explosion, Li Shaoshao whispered silently in his heart, he glanced at the photo of his wife and daughter in the rearview mirror of the truck, and reached out and gently stroked the wife and daughter in the photo.

"Hope ......"

Finally, Li Shaoshao let out a sigh, at this time there was a sound of military music in the distance, Yuan Shikai was slowly walking off the boat, and when he saw the governor passing over, Li Shaoshao looked at this scene very calmly, and turned the steering wheel while muttering to himself:

"I want to avenge the souls of those who died tragically under the butcher's knife of the tyrant. God willing, this operation will teach them a lesson they will never forget, and it will surely wake up the numb national ......"

Then, humming a song softly, he stepped on the accelerator to accelerate the truck, which was carrying ten tons of explosives and began to crash towards the iron fence,

"Click......

The sound of metal crashing was accompanied by the shattering of the windshield, and the truck smashed through the iron fence and sped towards the welcome dock, the iron fence made a screeching sound under the drag of the truck, and the people who were knocked down let out screams, but more people let out screams of horror, and people rushed to avoid the impact of the truck.

Before the police on the dock could react, Wang Shizhen hurriedly ran to Yuan Shikai's side and pushed him towards the boat.

"Quick, old handsome, go up quickly!"

While pushing Yuan Shikai, he shouted at the police on the dock, and the accompanying bodyguards also reacted, they quickly drew their pistols, hurriedly ran to the gangway, lowered Yuan Shikai's body, and escorted him and Wang Shizhen towards the boat.

"Ah......h

Shouts also rang out on the boat, and the students who had been watching the welcome ceremony on the port side were stunned by this scene, and they were horrified to see that the truck hit the fence and knocked down one person after another, and even some people were stuck in the fence and dragged out of the blood path by the truck.

The screams of panic and the chaos of the dock at this time Li Shaoshao, who was driving the truck, was completely immersed in his own world, which was less than thirty meters away, seemed to be a long time, and seemed to ...... Finally, he saw Yuan Shikai, who was being pushed towards the boat, and his right hand pulled down a thick rope.

"Goodbye......"

What's going on? Liang Dada, who was about to chat with Song Yu, heard the shouting and turned around with Song Yu in a daze, but at this time he saw Lin Wenqin running over.

"Out of ......"

Before his voice could be heard, the ship seemed to tilt, and in an instant, the heavens and the earth changed......
