Chapter 85: The Falklands War (4)
"Report!" The next day, just as we were lying in the office of the battalion headquarters waiting for Scar and the others to look at the text that the line commander gave me, a crisp and bright female voice came from outside the door.
"Come in!" I can't help but be a little puzzled, there are few women in this barracks, and my girlfriend Zhang Fan and others can't take care of it at all because I'm busy during this time.
For example, now, I just came back from Yunnan and will be leaving again tomorrow at noon, so I didn't have time to tell her at all.
Anyway, even if you sue her, it's useless, I don't have time to accompany her...... Tomorrow I'm going to Argentina, to the other side of the world, and I'm on a mission, so of course I can't do it without some preparations.
In other words, Zhang Fan and the others didn't know that I was back, so who is this?
"Report!" At this time, I saw a young female warrior with a delicate face and a childish spirit standing in front of me: "Report chief, translator Lin Xia is here to report!" ”
"Hmm!" Hearing this, I couldn't help but be stunned, sat up and looked at the little girl in front of me with incredible eyes and said, "You are the translator who arranged for us?" ”
"Yes!" This Lin Xia stepped forward excitedly: "Please instruct the chief?" ”
Zhao Jingping and I glanced at each other, and asked Lin Xia with a wry smile: "Do you know what we are doing here?" ”
"Yes!" Lin Xia replied a little puzzled: "Didn't you go to Argentina?" ”
"So do you know what we're going to do in Argentina?" Zhao Jingping asked.
"Go to war!"
"Then ...... you" Zhao Jingping glanced at this Lin Xia up and down, and said to me a little inexplicably: "What kind of fame, send a woman?" Still a little girl! ”
"Report to the chief!" Lin Xia looked a little unconvinced when she heard this. He stood up in front of us and said, "I'm twenty years old. It's not a little girl! ”
"Have you ever fought?" Zhao Jingping asked.
Lin Xia shook her head.
"Have you ever had a gun?" Zhao Gongping asked again.
Lin Xia shook her head again.
"Little comrade!" Zhao Jingping smiled bitterly and said, "Then you better go back." Let's make a report to the superior and change the translator! ”
Lin Xia didn't seem to be worried about this, she curled her lips and said a little unhappily: "Even if you change someone, you will be a woman!" ”
"Why is that?" Hearing this, Zhao Jingping couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
"There are only three boys in our class!" Lin Xia replied: "And the English level is not enough to be your translator, where can you find a male translator?" ”
"Oh!" Listening to Lin Xia's words, I understood a little.
Feelings: Lin Xia has just graduated from college...... Calculating the time, my country resumed the college entrance examination in 77, the first batch of college students enrolled in 78, and the first batch of college students graduated in 82, that is, this year.
! In other words, Lin Xia is still a recent graduate of the foreign language department.
If that's the case, then it's not surprising that we can't find a male translator.
First of all, this foreign language department is really like what Lin Xia said. That's more girls than boys, most of us men are not interested in language, but girls have a preference for this aspect, so it's not surprising that there will be a situation of yin and yang.
Secondly, there are very few boys who can learn foreign languages well, not to mention in this era of lack of accurate pronunciation or teaching materials.
"Isn't this nonsense?" Zhao Jingping looked at me and said, "How can we take such a girl to the battlefield!" ”
"Report chief, I'm not a girl!" This Lin Xia is still a little unrelenting.
"Okay, good, you're not a girl!" Zhao Jingping said helplessly: "But...... We can't find a more suitable translation? ”
"Report to the chief!" Lin Xia replied: "The superior said that it is not easy to find a suitable translator due to the tight time, not to mention that I think I am very suitable!" ”
This time, Zhao Jingping only had a bitter face and had nothing to say.
I shook my head and smiled bitterly. But it seems that there is no way to do it, you must know in this era. There are very few people in our army who can write clearly, let alone this English-speaking translator...... So we don't seem to have a choice.
"So be it!" I said to Zhao Jingping: "It's a big deal, when we go to the battlefield, put her in a safe place, or the British side will also prepare a translator!" ”
"That's all I can do!" Zhao Jingping nodded helplessly, and then turned to Lin Xia and introduced: "This is Battalion Commander Yang, I am Staff Officer Zhao, go and prepare for the next ...... Depart in two hours! ”
"Yes!" Lin Xia saluted us excitedly, and then jumped out of the camp headquarters.
"This girl!" Zhao Jingping looked at Lin Xia's back and smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid it's only a few days before I put on the military uniform, and I'm going to go to the battlefield." ”
I just smiled, there is no way to do it if the country lacks talents, and it can be seen that this Lin Xia seems to be full of understanding of the battlefield...... Let's hope she won't be too disappointed when she sees the real battlefield!
Soon after, Scar and the others also arrived at the base, and they were also surprised by Lin Xia, a new member of the team, but as soldiers, they didn't say much, they just looked at each other with a strange look, but Lin Xia looked like a person who was fine, and was tidying up her bags.
The group quickly boarded a helicopter to the airport and boarded a plane to Chile.
The reason why I wanted to take the helicopter was because the time was too tight, and Scar and the others had to go back to the base to change into civilian clothes and hand in all the equipment...... Needless to say, we are going abroad, and we have to pass through a third country, Chile, so we must not have any weapons and equipment, and we change into civilian clothes because we don't want to cause unnecessary disputes and attention.
While it's not a big deal to send a military advisory group between allies, it's always a good idea to be careful, and to get into as little trouble as possible.
The reason why this destination is Chile...... That's because Chile is right next to Argentina and has had a military conflict with Argentina, which means that the country is the only country in the vicinity of Argentina that is on the side of the British.
You must know that now the British fleet is already near the Falklands, and the Falklands are still more than 13,000 kilometers away from the British, so it is impossible for us to fly to the UK first and then take a boat to the Falklands.
Of course, we can't choose to fly to Argentina, just kidding, unless we don't want to die, we will go to the British as military advisers and fly to Argentina.
Chile is undoubtedly the best choice, and it is said that Chile fears that Argentina will soon point the finger at them if they win in the Falklands. Therefore, in the Falklands, this battle was to help the British fleet with all its might, so that once the Argentine side had a fighter plane take off, the British side would immediately get accurate information, such as how many fighters took off, what model, and so on.
