Chapter 217: Why Are Professional Soldiers?
After asking Li Mengqiu for leave and agreeing on 4 high-level planes, after gathering at another forward base, Liu Xiang and the three of them set off with the transport team of the advance base.
Originally, the departure date of the transport team of the No. 12 forward base was tomorrow, but it happened to newly acquire B-level spirit meat, you must know that the forward base here is not a dangerous place, B-level prey is very rare, in order to save the time limit for the reduction of the quality of B-level spirit meat, the transport team set off one day earlier.
Liu Xiang and the three of them sat on the roof of a deer and ox cart shed, looking at the surrounding scenery boredly, the military transport team not only transported materials, but also had the business of transporting people.
There were also quite a few people like Liu Xiang who returned to the satellite city with the transport team, and at first glance, there were as many as seventy or eighty people sitting on the roofs of various deer and ox carts, and the vast majority of them were obviously not in very good condition, and it seemed that they should be disabled folk hunting teams.
A hundred deer and ox carts were running through the wilderness at a steady pace, and each deer and ox cart was equipped with two soldiers, exactly 200 soldiers.
With Liu Xiang's current vision, it is not difficult to find that the overall strength of these two hundred fighters is much higher than that of the soldiers of the No. 3 base he named, and nearly half of the soldiers are great warriors.
After Lei Xiaoyu's explanation, Liu Xiang learned that the garrison strength of each forward base is different, the No. 3 base is in the outermost part of the dangerous place, and most of the soldiers stationed are only senior martial artists, plus a small number of senior martial arts officers, and the highest commander is only a junior senior martial artist.
And a garrison like Base 12, which has really entered a dangerous place, has a lot more overall strength, and the highest commander is at least a middle-level senior martial artist.
"How many advance bases do we have in the dangerous place?" Liu Xiang asked curiously.
Lei Xiaoyu replied uncertainly: "There are about 100 seats!" I don't remember the exact number. ”
"It's 127." One of the servicemen driving in front couldn't help but interject.
This young soldier who looked like he was in his 20s and whose strength should reach the junior martial artist, his personality was relatively jumpy, and when he saw three refreshing-looking college students chatting, he couldn't help but make a trick with his companions next to him, and one turned over and ran to the roof of the shed.
"My name is Lu Ming, a junior martial artist, and I am a warrior at the No. 9 advance base!" The young soldier said with a smile.
Liu Xiang and the three of them also introduced themselves, and Liu Xiang chatted with Lu Ming.
"You are the top students of Hope University! It's amazing! Lu Ming heard that the three of them were martial arts students from Hope University, and said with envy.
"You shouldn't be bad, right? You look like you're only 22 or 3 years old, you're a junior martial artist, and you should have graduated from a legendary university! ”
Lu Ming shrugged his shoulders and said with some embarrassment: "I didn't go to college, and my grades in the cultural class of the college entrance examination were too poor to be admitted to the legendary university, and then I joined the army directly like my old son." ”
"Is Ling Zun also stationed at the forward base?" Liu Xiang asked curiously.
"I used to be there, but I lost a leg last year and went back to Earth to do logistics." Lu Ming replied in a flat tone.
"I'm sorry!" Liu Xiang apologized a little embarrassed.
Lu Ming waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hehe, it's okay!" My Lao Tzu is taking advantage, although he is missing a leg, but his body is good and delicious, like him has been stationed in dangerous places for more than ten years, and he can still live Yi'er and grandchildren's enjoyment of Qingfu is considered shit luck, oh! His grandson is not my son, but my sister's. Ha ha! ”
When Lu Ming spoke, his expression was natural, and he seemed to really feel that his father was taking advantage.
Seeing that Liu Xiang's expression was a little unnatural, Lu Ming waved his hand and said, "What I said is true, the professional soldiers at the same time as my father have sacrificed more than half, and my father can return to the earth to recuperate with just one less leg, which is a good thing!" It's true. ”
Cai Lincheng couldn't help but ask softly, "Why do you want to be a professional soldier?" Wouldn't it be good to find some other way out of the plane after three years of service? At least it's not that dangerous. ”
"It's not bad, it's just that if everyone is not a professional soldier, our country will not be stable now." Lu Ming replied with a smile.
Liu Xiang slapped Cai Lincheng with his arm and said, "How boring are you asking?" Your old man is a profession among professional soldiers, why don't you ask him. ”
Cai Lincheng shook his head, "It's different, although my grandfather can also be regarded as a professional soldier, he has a huge right to make a return, and the contribution and return of ordinary professional soldiers are not equal, just like this Brother Lu, the strength of a junior martial artist, even if he condenses the spirit spirit at home, it is enough to live a rich life, why risk the horse leather shroud to be a professional soldier, of course I know that if there are no professional soldiers, we can't guard the gate of the plane at all, but I still want to ask why!" ”
Liu Xiang patted Cai Lincheng on the shoulder, and couldn't explain anything for a while, in this era of information explosion, anyone can say a lot of righteous things, but it is just lip service, the real why, I'm afraid even if the professional army says it himself, it may not be able to explain it.
"Brother Lu, you joined the army after graduating from high school, which means that you have long passed the service period, and you are also a professional soldier, right? Tell me why? ”
"I am 24 years old, I have been in the army for 6 years, and I am indeed a professional soldier. But you're nagging a lot! How can there be so many whys, how good are the benefits of professional soldiers, the salary is higher for people like us stationed in dangerous places, and there are commissions for killing monsters, little girls and thieves like it! And after suffering so much to achieve success, how boring it is to squat at home and pull the spirit essence to live! How can there be the excitement of killing monsters every day! Lu Ming scratched his head and said with a smile, and then his expression became a little more serious: "Of course, the responsibility and ideals of protecting the family and defending the country account for a little more, and there are quite a few such people in our country." ”
"Responsibilities and ideals?" Cai Lincheng muttered to himself.
Liu Xiang patted Cai Lincheng's shoulder a little helplessly, Cai Lincheng was only eighteen years old after all, and he was not a "teenager" like him.
Some things can only be felt more real if you have experienced them personally, he has seen too many soldiers like Lu Ming in his previous life, and even Zhao Guangming has joined the army.
He didn't understand it at the beginning, and he didn't understand why Zhao Guangming knew that Liaocheng couldn't hold it, and he still had to face the monster army.
It wasn't until his wife and children died in front of him that he understood what the responsibilities and ideals of the soldiers were, just to prevent such a tragic thing from happening, but unfortunately, all the soldiers in the previous life were sacrificed, and Zhao Guangming was also sacrificed, but they couldn't prevent the end from coming.
In this life, whether he, a butterfly, can change all this, he doesn't know. But he is willing to contribute to this responsibility and ideal!
Liu Xiang asked Cai Lincheng with a smile: "Aren't you already a soldier?" Although you haven't officially joined the army yet, will you serve only three years of military service? ”
Cai Lincheng replied without thinking: "Of course not, I must be a professional soldier, and the men in our family are all professional soldiers." ”
"Then you are tangled in a fart, and after you have been a professional soldier for a few years, you will naturally be able to figure it out."
Lu Ming clapped his hands on the side and said, "It's good to be a professional soldier!" It's much more interesting than squatting at home and pulling elves to play. ”
Liu Xiang's head was full of black lines, and his expression was strange: "Brother Lu, can we not bury the condensed spirit spirit so much?" ”
Lu Ming was a little strange, "What's this, the spirit spirit doesn't need to eat it." ”
"Hahaha~" Cai Lincheng and Lei Xiaoyu held their stomachs at the same time and laughed, and Cai Lincheng forgot to worry about "why" for a while.
Lu Ming scratched his head a little dazedly, not understanding why these two people reacted so much.
It was impossible for Liu Xiang to explain, so he hurriedly changed the topic and asked: "Brother Lu, you said first, we have 127 advance bases, which one is the strongest forward base, and how strong is it?" ”
Liu Xiang's topic changed very successfully, and this question was very appealing to Lu Ming.
Lu Ming replied with a wistful face: "Of course, the strongest ones are the three advance bases from 105 to 107, each base has at least 10 martial artists stationed, and ordinary soldiers are at least high-level martial artists, and my ultimate goal is to join the No. 105 advance base." ”
"Join Forward Base 105? Could it be that the soldiers in each base can still change jobs? Liu Xiang said with some surprise.
"Of course it can't be across legions, but as long as the strength of the camp within the legion is enough, you can apply for a transfer." Lu Ming explained.
"Legion?"
"You don't know?" Lu Ming was a little surprised, and then explained: "The army outside our plane is divided into three major legions, namely the God of War Army, the Glory Army, and the Iron Blood Army. I belong to the 6th Regiment of the Predator Army, stationed at the No. 12 Forward Base, and when I reach the strength, I can apply for transfer to the No. 105 Base, which is also under the Predator Army! ”
Liu Xiang heard the music, "Oops! I'm also from the Iron Army, we are comrades-in-arms! ”
"You're from the Predator Army too? You haven't graduated yet, shouldn't you only have a military status and no belonging? Lu Ming said with some surprise.
Liu Xiang stretched out his right hand and said with a smile: "Let me introduce myself again, the 3rd Regiment of the Iron and Blood Army, trainee soldier Liu Xiang!" Comrades-in-arms, shake hands! ”
Lu Ming laughed and stretched out his hand to shake Liu Xiang, and then said with a playful face: "Then I have to introduce myself again, the 6th Regiment of the Iron Blood Army, Captain Lu Ming!" Soldier, salute me! ”
Liu Xiang was embarrassed, what is there to do, don't you know that there is a clear hierarchy in the army?
Liu Xiang stepped forward and saluted Lu Ming with a military salute that was not too standard.
Lu Ming also stood up, stepped forward to correct Liu Xiang's posture, and then took a step back and responded with the most standard military salute.
"Hahaha!" After receiving the gift, the two suddenly laughed together.
"Ahem!" Lei Xiaoyu thought it was funny, couldn't help coughing, stood up and said with a smile: "Iron Army, Satellite City No. 3, Defense Corps, Major Lei Xiaoyu." Salute both! ”
When Lu Ming heard Lei Xiaoyu's military rank, he subconsciously saluted, and then suddenly realized something, and said with a shocked face: "Satellite City No. 3!" You are the God King Lei Xiaoyu! I said it sounds familiar! ”
"Uh. It should be me. Lei Xiaoyu was embarrassed, she wanted to make a joke, but this Lu Ming actually knew her bandit number in the Federal International College!
"God-king? What the hell is this full of secondary two breath! Hahaha..."Liu Xiang immediately grasped the point.
"What's the matter, this is all the students of the Federal College who are blind, I haven't admitted it." Lei Xiaoyu didn't care if Liu Xiang didn't salute, and explained with a red face.
"Don't be modest, who outside the plane doesn't know your name! The Son of God is recognized as the strongest! Lu Ming said with some excitement.
The Son of God is known as the forerunner in the evolutionary journey of mankind and is regarded as the hope of the future of mankind, while Lei Xiaoyu, as the strongest of the sons of God in the world, is nicknamed the God King by the other sons of God.
With the passage of time, this name spread outside the school, and young people like Lu Ming are chasing stars like stars, but it is a pity that they have never had the opportunity to meet, but they didn't expect to see it on the roof of this deer and cattle cart.
If it weren't for the fact that she didn't have a pen and paper on her, Lu Ming would have wanted her to sign it.
"Tut-tut! Awesome rain on me! Liu Xiang clapped his hands strangely.
Cai Lincheng also clapped his hands beautifully, hehe! God-king? Am I not the queen of God? Yes! Phew! What is the queen of gods, I Cai Lincheng! Pure gentlemen!
However, my girlfriend is amazing!
Lei Xiaoyu glared at Liu Xiang and Cai Lincheng fiercely, turned his head to Lu Ming and said, "That's all the old yellow calendar, I'm not the strongest among my peers now." ”
"How so?" Lu Ming subconsciously used the Spiritual Recognition Technique, and then exclaimed, "Have you advanced to a great martial artist?" Seventeen-year-old great warrior, I'm obedient! Who of these peers can be better than you! ”
Lei Xiaoyu stretched out his foot and kicked Liu Xiang, and said to Lu Ming: "He! Haven't you heard of Liu Xiang's name? ”
"Is Liu Xiang also a son of God?" Lu Ming once again used the spirit recognition technique, what the hell? Can't see it?
"Senior Martial Artist ???"
Lu Ming's spiritual knowledge technique was coincidental, just in time for Liu Xiang's realm to fluctuate to a junior senior martial artist.
The Spiritual Mind Technique can accurately identify a realm one level higher than oneself, but if it is only two levels higher, experienced people can still faintly feel that only three levels higher or higher will not be able to see it at all.
Lu Ming is a junior martial artist, and he can't see it at all, so isn't he a senior martial artist?
Lu Ming's frightened face turned green! I just asked a senior martial artist to salute me?
"Haha! Scarewright? I'm not a veteran martial artist. Liu Xiang didn't expect Lu Ming's luck to be so good, and said proudly.
"Not a veteran martial artist? Could it be a martial artist? Stumped, are you the kind of strong martial artist who has a good face? But I've never heard of a martial artist named Liu Xiang? When Lu Ming heard that he was not a senior martial artist, he immediately thought of a martial artist, but he had never heard of a martial artist who was so good at his face! It looks like it's about as big as thunder and rain!
Lu Ming's face turned a little greener, I just asked a martial artist to salute?
Liu Xiang saw that Lu Ming's face was green, and he was afraid that he would die of bitterness, so he hurriedly explained that he had a special physique, and his realm looked chaotic.
Lu Ming used the spirit recognition technique again, and when he saw Liu Xiang's realm as a senior martial artist, he breathed a sigh of relief, although he had heard that there were people with special physiques who were inaccurate in judging the spirit recognition technique, but this was the first time he had seen a real person.
"Haven't you heard of the latest high school martial arts competition?" Cai Lincheng asked Lu Ming with a smile.
Lu Ming shook his head.
"No wonder. The two of them are the joint champions of the latest high school martial arts competition, and Liu Xiang's real combat power now really surpasses Xiaoyu. ”
Lu Ming nodded, and unintentionally glanced at Cai Lincheng with the Spiritual Technique.
Depend on! Another junior martial artist!
I'm old enough to be a dog, right? The talent of a 24-year-old junior martial artist is not bad! It's so devastating!
Liu Xiang didn't let the topic of strength go on for too long, what if Lu Ming had to ask him about his talent? Isn't level 2 talent embarrassing?
"Stop touting back and forth, sit down and chatter!" Liu Xiang greeted.
After a few people sat down again, Liu Xiang asked with some confusion: "It's been more than 2 hours since we set off, why didn't the transport team encounter a single monster?" ”
Lu Ming stretched out his finger and pointed to the ground in front of the deer ox cart and explained, "Our No. 12 forward base is not far from this main road, and there are very few monsters attacking on the main road. ”
"What is the Lord's way?" Liu Xiang asked suspiciously.
