17. Erasers and female soldiers

Military trucks with dark green canopies set off from the empty station at four o'clock in the morning.

The car is large and has plenty of space in the body, enough for five people to stretch and lie down, which is undoubtedly a great happiness for someone who has been curled up on the train for several days and nights.

Therefore, even the most nervous people who couldn't sleep at the beginning fell asleep unconsciously in the shaking of the long journey.

As for the question of why the other people didn't get out of the car together, they probably couldn't ask.

"Wake up, it's time to wake up. ”

Han Qingyu felt a hand pushing his shoulder in a daze.

When he woke up, the car was moving across what seemed like a vast wasteland. There were roads in the moor, and there were rocks of grass and dew, and dead old trees stood by the puddles, and birds with black wings flew up from their branches, and stopped on a small dirt bag not far away, turned around, and continued to cast their gaze.

The red sun on the horizon is gradually fading its figure, and the sunset over the wasteland has a bleak beauty like a panoramic lens enveloping a battlefield of yesterday.

It was already evening.

Rajan woke up the rest of the people, and said, "It's almost there, as is customary for the Teal Alliance, there are some basic things that need to be told to you by this time. ”

He cleared his throat, the former college physics teacher may not have been on the podium for too many years, and there was a feeling of reading from the script, a little clumsy.

The starting point of his story is a famous incident that took place in 1908 near the Tunguska River in Siberia, in what is now the Union Republic of Xiongzhanli.

“...... It's the mysterious event you'll later see in stall magazines or extracurricular readings, known as the Tunguska explosion," says Laujian, "but the explosion itself had nothing to do with the zenith invasion, they just landed there, in a vast uninhabited land, and began to explore, kill, capture, and expand...... The truth of the explosion is that we, the human race, dropped almost all the gunpowder blasting weapons that we thought we could try to kill those creatures. ”

He skipped the part of "how to solve the crisis in the end", which is also the part that Han Qingyu is actually most concerned about, because there may be many things involved, such as the scale of the shuttle-shaped spacecraft landing, and the discovery process of source energy, etc.

Without giving him a chance to ask questions, Lao Jian continued:

Since then, the single-goal Teal coalition has been established in a way that transcends the national realm and is largely independent of the direct management of the states. ”

"We, the Chinese Runner-up Army of the Teal Alliance, were originally established in 1912, when there was only one army, that is, the First Army, which was at the beginning of the formation, which was a direct combat force. ”

"Today, in the course of more than 70 years of development and fighting, we have a total of 11 corps. Named after the chronological order of its establishment, from the First Army, which was founded in 1912, to the Eleventh Army, which was founded 20 years ago. ”

"Among them, the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 9th, 11th, 6 armies, all belong to direct combat units, and the 6 armies are united and named after an original joking name, collectively called, [the only witness corps]. ”

"Why is it called the One Sighting Legion? It's simple, because of our mission. We had to be the only witnesses to every landing of the big tip...... I see, I eliminate. ”

When he said this, there was indeed a sense of mission and pride on his face.

"In addition to the six corps of the only sighting legion, there are five other corps, with the exception of the second corps, you don't need to know, if you are really interested, guess for yourself, they have a nickname, called the refusal. ”

Lao Jian smiled for the first time as he spoke.

Then, he continued: "The Fifth Army is left to detect and warn the early warning force, but most of the time we are more accustomed to calling them, 'Crows', because every time we receive a call from them, it means a crisis and a battle, and every news is bad news. In the Teal Alliance, there is a phrase that the soldiers often say, whether they are happy or depressed, we will say it...... Kill the crow. ”

He probably tried to speak vividly, but the students in the carriage were silent.

"Then, the Seventh and Eighth Corps, collectively known as the Order Corps, nicknamed: Security. Lao Jian had no choice but to introduce it more succinctly, saying: "The Tenth Army, nicknamed 'Fledgling', is an air combat reserve force, and has been established for more than 30 years...... However, I can tell you an open secret, we still don't have even a single source energy air ship that can take to the air to fight directly against the shuttle. ”

Regarding this part of Lao Jian's narration, Han Qingyu only roughly memorized the relevant information in his heart, and did not pay much attention to it, because since Lao Jian can tell these things to the recruits, it is definitely not a secret.

He's waiting for him to talk about source energy and dead iron.

But no, as the truck had passed through a cave, Lao Jian stood up under the canopy, crossed his chest with his right hand, and his fist was turned towards the center, and he gestured with his eyes to the large expanse of houses and camps that gradually unfolded at the back of the truck, and said:

"Now, on behalf of the head of the force, I welcome the four of you to join us, the Chinese Runner-up Army of the Azure Alliance, the only eyewitness legion, the Ninth Army.

"From this moment on, the only way out in front of you is to become a qualified soldier, to become a qualified soldier of the Ninth Army, a qualified board eraser. ”

This is presumably a simple ritualized step and not very official.

"There is no formal ceremony for enlistment, and the formal ceremony will not be until the day you wear your armor. When he was done, he sat down, changed back to his original tone, and explained, "And the plate rub I just mentioned, which is a nickname for our Ninth Army. It's not hard to understand, right? The warriors themselves like it. ”

"Then, as is customary, I will be your introducer from now on...... I'm Captain of the Teal Coalition and now the leader of Squad 752, Jane Lao. Looking forward to being proud of you. After speaking, he simply made a fist-to-heart movement, and his eyes were sincere.

At this point, for the first time, someone at the scene gave a reaction, Wen Jifei said: "Aren't you the squad leader?

After reading a lot of extracurricular miscellaneous books, he knew a little bit about military establishment.

"......" Lao Jian paused and replied: "Because of the establishment of the Azure Coalition Army, there are no companies and platoons, and information transmission and management have been trying to avoid too many levels, above the regional squads, that is, the regiment, and then, the division, and the army. ”

Wen Jifei nodded, "Oh." That is, the captain may be a captain, or a lieutenant, a second lieutenant, or even a major...... Do you get the same treatment?"

“...... It's not the same. "So, do you have any meaningful questions to ask?" ”

At this time, the truck was already driving in the camp of the Ninth Army base.

Han Qingyu habitually raised his hand, just wanting to take the opportunity to ask one or two questions about source energy.

"Why do we have female soldiers here? And there seem to be quite a few. Wen Jifei looked at the figure shuttling within the line of sight at the back of the car, and asked with a puzzled and thief smile.

As if this was something to be proud of, and at the same time said something that would make people happy, Lao Jian laughed and said, "Yes, counting the medical personnel, the proportion of female soldiers in the Azure Coalition is probably close to a quarter. Because under the action of the source energy three-dimensional motorized device, the gap between men and women in terms of physical conditions will become very small......"

"Then why don't you just go one-to-one?"

"It's supposed to be one-to-one. ”

Plague chicken fly said.

Lao Jian glanced at Han Qingyu with some pity, and he didn't know if he was still proud of recruiting the plague chicken in on the train at this moment.

"Probably because there are fewer girls running around", he lowered his head and rolled his eyes, and Lao Jian reluctantly explained, "And on the spiritual level, most girls are relatively timid. ”

Wen Jifei continued to speak: "That ......"

Lao Jian interrupted in time, "There is not much time, give other students a chance to ask questions." The university physics teacher of the year even said "classmate" in confusion.

Another recruit among the four in the group spoke, "Captain, are you married?"

Lao Jian: "...... No. ”

"Then can our troops get married and have children? Since we are likely to not be able to go out for the rest of our lives. The man asked very directly.

Wen Jifei answered: "I also want to ask this." Also, the labor team, do we female soldiers also like to be called board erasers? ”

Lao Jian directly ignored Wen Jifei's interjection and replied: "Non-commissioned officer and above, free love, both parties are willing, you can." ”

"That ......"

"But," said Rajan, paused, and then continued, "But, your children, too, will remain here forever." Except for the occasional visit to follow you, grow up here, be educated, and serve the Blue for the rest of your life until you are breathing for all the ...... on this planet Shed the last drop of blood. ”

The atmosphere was suddenly heavy.

"Then if you get married here, you don't need to register with the Civil Affairs Bureau, right?" Wen Jifei said: "Then if you marry one here and one outside, does it count as bigamy?"

While thinking about the female soldiers, he probably still remembered his girl who went to school at Yue University with affection.

Lao Jian: "......"

He looked at Han Qingyu.

Han Qingyu smiled brightly in his gaze.
