"Battalion commander......" The instructor handed me a cigarette and said, "For this...... Your opinion is ......"

I couldn't help but curse the instructor in my heart...... He is throwing this hot potato into my hand, and this ideological work is his duty...... But he knew in his heart that he couldn't suppress this group of brothers who followed me to death on the battlefield...... This phenomenon is actually very common in the military, especially in the fighting army...... They all pin their heads to their pants and play with their lives on the battlefield, where will they care about what officials, big and small, they only know who lives and dies with them on the battlefield!

So the instructor's trick is really clever...... Hand me a cigarette and use me to suppress the warriors!

So what else can I say? I'm a battalion commander, eh...... It's impossible to say ...... Comrades are right, let's divide the money!

Now it's my turn...... After thinking about it, I said to the soldiers, "Let's think like this...... Did the superiors already know about this? If the superior already knows...... Then we still want to give the money to the military family, can this be shared? ”

As soon as he said this, the warrior couldn't help but be stunned......

"Battalion commander!" Liang Lianbing quickly answered: "Our brothers were all born and died on the battlefield...... What's more, it's the military family who is helping, and I promise they won't tell me about it, if anyone does...... I'm the first to be the first to finish with them! ”

"That's not what I'm talking about," I explained...... "and I'm sure our own people won't talk about it...... But...... We've been helping Afghan refugees for so long, where does all this money come from? Will the superiors not know? A secret that three people know is not a secret...... Besides, we know so many people! Even if those of us can speak in unison...... We still have some comrades in Afghanistan. Just ask and you will understand everything! ”

As soon as I said this, the fighters were speechless.

"The battalion commander is right!" The instructor followed my words and said, "Comrades...... Your intentions are good and understandable, but we still have to do what we should do, and no matter how we do, we can't violate discipline...... So be it! At that time, I will make an application to my superiors and try to pull out some of this money to support military families...... What do you think, comrades? ”

After a long silence, the warriors agreed one by one!

I breathed a sigh of relief...... But I don't know why, but my heart is heavy and uncomfortable...... I kept thinking about the two elderly people who were orphaned and widowed or who had lost their children and had no one to take care of them when I went to pay my pension......

Perhaps it was because of this incident that the excitement of going home had vanished...... Everyone squatted in the container and blew the sea breeze silently...... It didn't take a few days to get over!

But I know it in my heart...... In fact, they are not thinking about the money, but thinking about those sacrificed comrades-in-arms and their families. Thinking about what you can do for them......

Until this evening...... Captain Li and several crew members came to the container where we were holding a large basin and shouted, "Comrades...... Let's eat dumplings today! Stuffed pork...... Not. I know...... Several of our troops are Hui soldiers, and I specially prepared vegetable filling! ”

"What? Dumplings? ”

"Old Captain...... How do you eat dumplings today? ”

"Yes, old captain, it's still minced pork...... It's been a long time since I've tasted pork! ”

……

That's true...... Afghans and Pakistanis don't eat pork, so naturally we don't have pork in our meals!

"Hey!" The old captain replied with a smile, "Where are you...... It's really confusing to fight. Today is Chinese New Year's Eve! Happy New Year...... Comrades! ”

As soon as the old captain said this, the soldiers were stunned. The soldier who was still grabbing dumplings just now also stopped what he was doing...... It's all Chinese New Year!

"It's New Year?"

"yes...... It's Chinese New Year! Comrades, eat! There are still ...... after eating Comrades have enough to eat today! ”

Then the warriors quickly greeted each other......

"Happy New Year!"

"Happy Chinese New Year!"

……

But as he spoke, tears fell back unconsciously...... There is a saying that thinks of relatives every festive season. We are desperate wanderers abroad...... If it's not the time for the festive season, it's nothing, but when it comes...... I can't help but think of my family, and I can't wait to put on a pair of wings and fly to their side to have a reunion dinner with them.

I silently lit three cigarettes and put them at my feet...... I thought in my heart: my comrades-in-arms who couldn't come back with us. You can rest assured...... We will take care of your parents and your family for you!

****************

The freighter was at sea for more than a month...... This trip was a smooth ride, or maybe we weren't as lucky as last time, and we were robbed by a group of pirates!

But then again...... Even if you rob the pirates and rob a lot of dollars, you still have to hand them over in the end...... In this respect, it is better not to pay! Anyway, we also have to fight with our lives, no one has enough to eat, nothing to do, and we will be idle to play with others...... Even if those pirates are no match for us at all!

The difference from last time is...... We were also secretly hoisted onto the ship at Tianjin Xingang when we set off, but that was just to hide the time of our departure, and now we have returned from our mission, and we are still in our own country...... It is so normal that there is a group of Chinese soldiers in China on a Chinese freighter, so we don't need to hide at all at this point......

As soon as the freighter docked, the soldiers rushed to the dock with cheers, and then they all cried and shouted and jumped like madmen...... Some of the fighters simply lay on the ground and rolled, while others just picked up a handful of dirt and put it in front of their noses and sniffed and sniffed it......

I only saw that the other people on the dock looked sideways, not knowing what happened to our group of soldiers, and even some people were so frightened that they avoided from afar......

But the old captain understood, I understood, and the fighters understood...... The reason why we have such a statement is because we have been away from our country for too long, and we are very lucky to be able to set foot on the soil of our country again alive...... It's not something that others can see or understand!

"Camp Commander Yang?" Several soldiers saluted in front of me and said, "I was sent by Commander Zhang to pick you up, and the car is in front!" ”

"Hmm!" I nodded, looked around again, and couldn't help but say, "Finally back!" (To be continued......)
