In late spring, Manchuria is a green world, the green pastures on the grasslands are like waves in the wind, and the spring wheat has grown half a foot tall in the reclamation area near the settlement, and for those farmers who have settled here, this season of wheat is related to their livelihood for a year, and because of this, they will be busy hoeing and fertilizing the fields. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 It seems that there is always endless work to be done in this field, after all, for them, the harvest in this field is related to the livelihood of the family.

But for those peasant youth, it seems that they will never be able to devote so much enthusiasm to the land as their fathers, let alone toiling in the fields all day long like their fathers. Perhaps because of the fact that they had read books, although they were only three years old, they had broadened their horizons and made their hearts fly out of this field, and for many young people, if they could, they would prefer to go to the city, like some of them - to enter a vocational school, and then become a skilled worker and live in the city.

But not everyone wants to do that, and for some young people, they may not want to be in the city, but they are equally eager to see the world and see the outside world, rather than staying in the countryside forever.

"Da Long, your father called you, let you go to the ground......"

After the mother finished speaking, a black horse had galloped out of the barn, and ran out of the village along the road that had just been renovated in the spring leisure. The older one was only eighteen or nineteen years old. The young man looked like he was only fourteen or fifteen years old.

The young man on the horse laughed from time to time. For a while, there seemed to be only the laughter of young people in this world, and finally when the horse team ran into the nearby grassland, the horses seemed to be tired, and the galloping teenagers stopped their horses violently, and the leading teenagers jumped off the horse skillfully like a rider on the grassland.

Just as they were jumping off their horses, a whistle came from the railroad in the distance. At the sound of the whistle, I saw a train spewing white smoke moving along the railway, it was a train bound for Russia.

But the teenagers looked at the train with an expectant look, as if they were looking forward to getting on the train and embarking on a different path from their fathers. Finally, the train was far away, but the eyes of the leading young man were still on the distant train, and his eyes were full of longing.

"Brother Da Long, I heard that you went to sign up?"

You Fu, who was leading the horse, looked at Da Long, and there was some envy in his tone. Eighteen years old, that's the age of military service. Perhaps for the fathers, they will never understand why they should serve in the military, but for young people, military service means that they can go out and see the world.

Being able to get on a train to a distant place, or even a warship to go to the South Seas all year round, and Hawaii, which is thousands of miles away, in short, military service means that they no longer need to stay in the countryside, just like their parents, facing the loess and doing farm work with their backs to the sky.

Even if they are poor, they can get a lot of "land" after retiring and not entering the city, instead of needing more than ten years of hard work like their parents to get a field of their own. In conclusion, many young people are eager to change their destiny through service.

Everyone has the opportunity to pursue their dreams, perhaps, this is the biggest difference between them and their parents, for their parents, to eat a full stomach is their lifelong pursuit, and for these teenagers, hunger seems to be a very distant thing, they have seen the Great Wall on the teaching wall chart of the primary school, seen ironclads and airships, and because of this, they can never be as willing to bury their heads in the countryside as their parents, and because of this, for them, military service often means some kind of change in the path of life, maybe, It means that dreams are possible.

"Well, I've signed up, and I'll go to the military inspection next week!"

Li Long nodded, and he walked on the grass with the horse.

"Whether it can be tested or not, I don't know ...... yet"

In his words, Li Long's expression looked a little nervous, he was afraid that he would not be able to test the army, and he was even more worried that he would be brushed down, if he was brushed down...... Perhaps, he will never have the chance to go out and see the world again.

Six years ago, he moved to the Northeast with his family at the age of twelve, and five years ago he studied in the school for three years.

The Great Wall, Dalian, and warships on the wall map of the geography class...... After graduating from primary school, he wanted to work in the city, but there were not many job opportunities in this small border town, except to go hundreds of miles away to the riverside, but his parents couldn't get past it. For the parents, they naturally want him to be able to stay around.

And more importantly, as early as the age of sixteen, he had already been prepared in the "Zhuangding Regiment", waiting for the eighteen-year-old examination, for the service, he is not resistant, on the one hand, military service can allow him to see the world, on the other hand, military service is also the responsibility of the people, at least in the primary school classroom, he knows what is the people, what is the responsibility. Of course, for his parents, the reason why they approve of his service is probably not because of any nationality or responsibility, but because of "honors and honors"! For them, they naturally hope that their son will get a piece of land.

But now, his only concern is whether he can test the army, if not, then he can only serve the national service, what is the point of this? The so-called national service is nothing more than three months of short service, just three months of military training in the local camp area, and then retired and returned to the hometown to join the Zhuangding regiment, and that's it, well, there is also a three-month allowance of 3 yuan, and the difference can be seen from the allowance - the allowance for military service is 4.5 yuan per month.

In the early morning, in front of the gate of the Manchurian regimental governor's office, a long line had already been formed, and these were all young people from various villages and towns, all of whom had come here for the last military inspection with the conscription order issued by the battalion district.

Eight years. It's a reincarnation.

Compared to eight years ago. Two years ago. The Governor's Office of the three eastern provinces passed the "Military Service Law", which is divided into two types: national and standing service, stipulating that men who have reached the age of 18~45 and those who do not perform standing military service are required to serve in the national service, and they are trained according to the regulations in peacetime and conscripted in wartime. Standing military service is divided into active service, regular service, and continued service. Men aged 20~25 were conscripted into the camp and served on active duty for 3 years. At the end of the period, he will be discharged from regular service for a period of 6 years, and he should go to the prescribed drills in the township in peacetime, and should be recalled to the battalion in wartime. At the end of the regular service, he will be transferred to continued service, until the age of 40, and the tasks are the same as those of the regular service.

In the last two years. The Military Command Department has successively set up battalion management areas, regimental management areas, and brigade management areas in various localities as military service organs, and it has actually been a sharp change from the conscription of the first batch of conscripts two years ago to the present when conscripts constitute the main body of the army. It was precisely from that time that the Northeast Army truly became a modern armed force -- an armed force built on the modern compulsory military service system.

Under this system, the battalion management area is responsible for the organization and training of the Zhuangding regiment in the district, and issues a conscription order, and the recruits who receive the conscription order are subject to conscription in the regimental management area. After passing the examination, they will be sent to the brigade management area for training. At this time of year, it is the time of conscription in the Northeast, but although the people of the Northeast have slowly adapted to the conscription, not everyone can accept this kind of military service.

"A good man is not a soldier, and a good iron is not nailed......"

The shopkeeper standing in the shop said in a sighing tone, as if for him, he would never be able to accept this kind of forced deadlift.

"Shopkeeper, you can't say that, if it reaches Officer Li's ears, if you don't say it with a big mouth, you may even have to be accused of insulting a soldier......

The voice of the guy on the side just fell, and the face of the shopkeeper who was full of nagging suddenly changed.

"Do your job well, and talk nonsense!"

shouted like this, but the shopkeeper looked carefully to the left and right, for fear that his words would reach the ears of others, and it would be okay to be slapped by the police, but if he was convicted of insulting a soldier, he would have to serve a month's labor at the lightest.

Soldiers are glorious and honorable titles, in the Northeast, it is not a lip service, no matter how ordinary people put on military uniforms, it is also superior, and there is a legal guarantee, the insult to the military will be punished, in the past years, I don't know how many people because of a sentence "good men are not soldiers, good iron does not nail" caused trouble.

"Look at your ......"

The shopkeeper who wanted to slap himself in the mouth, let the guy remind him like this, and his face suddenly changed.

"Oh, we really have to thank these descendants, if they didn't do their loyalty to the country, how could we have a good life......"

Talking about the "official statement" in the newspaper, the shopkeeper instructed the guy again.

"Look, it's a little hot this day, these people check it out, I don't know what time it is, Liangzi, you go and bring a pot of tea to the brothers, don't be thirsty for the brothers......"

The completely different attitudes that match the face of the shopkeeper are changing like this. A few minutes later, when the young men thanked the man who delivered the tea with words of thanks, the shopkeeper enjoyed the thanks of others in front of the door, as if all this was taken for granted.

For Li Long, who had already entered the courtyard, he didn't have a chance to drink the tea sent by the shopkeeper, in fact, he was just nervous that he had no denial of the army, not everyone who received a conscription order could test the army, and the army only needed the best.

When it was finally Li Long's turn, Li Long looked a little nervous in the face of the chief sitting in front of him.

"Physical ...... On the Armor"

This is the result of the evaluation of the camp management area, only the pre-conscription with physical fitness for A, will receive the conscription order, as for other levels of pre-conscription often directly transferred to national service, in fact, it is to serve in the Zhuang Ding Regiment, receive military training in the agricultural slack, of course, the repair of water canals, roads is also the work of the Zhuang Ding Regiment.

The physical fitness on the armor added points to Li Long, and then the "elementary school graduation" of the education level made the sergeant rank commander nodded with satisfaction, okay, these two items are enough, and the rest only needs to check the body.

The next thing is very simple, that is, the doctors in the hospital will conduct further examinations of Li Long's body, and the physical examination in the camp management area is actually more symbolic, and the full-time doctor will conduct a professional examination of the recruit's body during the examination in the regimental management area.

Throughout the day, there were people entering and leaving the gates of the regimental district, some rejoicing and some worried, some of them rejoicing because they had not been tested, some of them were worried because of the test, and many more were happy for a very simple reason -- they had been tested as soldiers.

When Li Long, who was full of joy, walked out of the physical examination room, he unexpectedly saw the police, to be precise, under the escort of the police, more than a dozen young people and the young people he wanted to imitate, those people were not surprised to be the people who tried to escape, every time the conscription period came, there will always be people who tried to escape, especially when the conscription was first implemented two years ago, the deserters were even thousands, and because of this, the police will have an extra duty, arrest the fugitives, for the compulsory conscription, and if there is no accident, As long as their physical conditions are basically suitable, they will be forced to perform military service, and if they are forced to desert after the scheduled service, they will be punished as deserters, and even in peacetime, deserters will have only one end.

"Shame on you!"

Looking at the young people who were taken for a physical examination, even those who were distressed by their previous military examination would scold, perhaps, they did not want to be soldiers, but at least they did not escape, and in the face of the contemptuous eyes cast around them, those handcuffed young people all hung their heads, looking disheartened and at the mercy of others.

Service is duty, but not everyone is willing to serve, for Sun Tianli, he never thought of serving, in fact, he didn't want to be a soldier at all, for him, a dime and a half a day of allowance, is simply to pass the meal, maybe because his father died early, he became a family early, and he wants to earn more money, rather than wasting time on what military service,

But now, he was caught by the police, but he knew that he couldn't escape, not because the police caught him, but because he had to go to the police station to report - if he didn't report for duty, their family would lose food stamps - it was a free food exchange voucher issued by the government to help the orphans and the weak, and in the three years since my father's death, it was by relying on 24 catties of rice and noodles per person per month and 6 catties of dried fish that my mother and three younger siblings could survive.

But even so, he still chose to escape from the army - he wanted to work in the factory to earn money! But now, it's all in vain.

Sun Tianli, who had a bitter look on his face, looked around with a sad face, and the contemptuous gazes around him had no effect on him, for him, there was only worry about not being able to make money in the next two years...... (To be continued.) )
