Chapter 1: The Unlucky Phase
The drill for the new recruits of the coastal defense battalion began on time.
Colorful flags fluttered on the beach, waving the proud names of the squadrons.
12 squadrons, with a total of more than 1,000 soldiers, are quite spectacular.
The general of the coastal defense battalion came to observe in person, stood on a temporary high platform, glanced at the soldiers with sharp eyes, and asked in a loud voice: "Are you ready?" ”
"Alright, General!" The sound shook the sky.
At the same time, the squadrons held high green cards.
"Report! Abdominal pain, apply to go to the thatched house. A discordant voice popped up.
"Plagued, lazy cows, lazy horses,, and urine!" Shark squadron training officer Zhong Qiang scolded and urgently replaced the green card with a yellow card, indicating that it was not ready.
The general frowned, this squadron looks far less mentally state than other squadrons, how did this gold medal training officer lead the troops?!
Everyone waited a quarter of an hour for this, and they complained.
Zhong Qiang was annoyed and ashamed, and when that person returned to the team, he really wanted to kick this guy with a lot of and pee.
"Plagued, one person lost the face of Lao Tzu's whole team!" He scolded through gritted teeth.
The man returned to the group with a sad face.
Yesterday, another person disappeared in the sea during the squadron's swimming training, and everyone was extremely depressed, and they all cried and mourned, as if the next thing was their end.
Zhong Qiang had a strong premonition that his glorious history in the past would come to an abrupt end in this session.
He withdrew the yellow card and replaced it with a green card.
Seeing that all the green cards were lit, the general continued the ceremony and asked loudly: "What is the slogan of the coastal defense battalion?" ”
"Defend the family and the country, never back down!"
"If you want to join our coastal defense battalion, it will not be so easy, it depends on whether you are good enough. Let's go! The general picked up his hammer and beat the drum.
"Boom! Knock knock! Knock knock knock ......"
The soldiers were energized by the sound of the drums, and turned and rushed towards the sea like arrows, but before they could start swimming, the sea in front of them suddenly thundered to the ground.
I saw that the water column was rushing to the sky, the earth was shaking, and the high platform on which the general was standing immediately collapsed.
Fortunately, the high platform is not high, and Youzi Ning made a timely move to protect the general from flying away from the high platform, so as to avoid his foreign appearance of falling and fighting.
Everyone looked at the sea in horror, and where the water column fell, a stream of black mud gushed out, and then slowly polluted the surrounding waters in a circle.
The squadrons hurriedly withdrew their troops, and the soldiers hurriedly returned to the shore.
The general had no choice but to announce that the drill would be cancelled and that it would be held at another date.
Zhong Qiang breathed a sigh of relief, thank God, that little cutie saved everyone's lives because of more feces and urine, and he had to be rewarded for eating some meat at noon.
He was about to return to the camp with the team, but Zi Ning stopped him, saying that the general had something to ask him.
He hurriedly trotted to the general: "Xiaguan Zhongqiang pays a visit to the general." ”
"You've been training in this area, haven't you noticed anything unusual on weekdays?" The general asked.
"Indeed," Zhong Qiang rolled his eyes, just as he was explaining the reason for the casualties of the recruits, pointing to the area where the incident occurred, "Several soldiers of the Shark Squadron have mysteriously disappeared there. Xia Guan was about to report to the general that there must be something wrong with that sea area. ”
"You should have said it a long time ago!"
"The lower official should die, thinking that the death target has not been exceeded, so he can not report it for the time being. For a moment of negligence, please punish the general. Zhong Qiang hurriedly knelt down and took the initiative to ask for guilt.
The general glared at him hatefully: "If something happens, what I am most afraid of is to conceal the truth and not report it, and then a small mistake will cause a big disaster!" ”
Zhong Qiang buried his head very low, and said aggrievedly: "The lower officials do have something to say, this batch of recruits is very dissatisfied, they are not very obedient to discipline, and their physique is obviously not as good as the previous one. ”
"Why?"
"They complained that there was no meat to eat."
The general put away his anger, this is indeed a problem.
"You have to prepare them mentally, no meat will be the norm in the future! Step aside. The general waved his hand.
Zhong Qiang left with a sigh of relief.
"Zi Ning, it's lunch, you go to inspect and understand everyone's mood for dinner." The general commanded.
"Then general, you take care of your own safety." Zi Ning left.
The general was left alone on the beach, and he looked at the sea in bewilderment.
The waters in front of you were dyed blue-black.
The appearance of a strange scene on the sea was by no means auspicious, and he had a premonition of a great disaster.
It was not only the vision on the sea, but also the counties around the Haiphong Battalion, which made his heart furry like an embattled man.
As Zhong Qiang said just now, the situation is quite grim about the problem that everyone can't eat meat, and large-scale swine fever has occurred in surrounding counties.
The swine fever is so bad that the common people talk about the discoloration of pigs.
The county warden handed over a petition from nearby fishermen, asking the Haiphong battalion not to continue to close the sea so that the fishermen could go into the sea to fish.
Because with the skyrocketing price of pork, prices have skyrocketed, and fishermen no longer catch fish, making it difficult to make ends meet.
However, this sea area is very close to the island country - Yu Country, and the pirates of Yu Country may take the opportunity to blend in with the fishermen, go ashore to burn and loot, so the Yu Kou Rebellion, which has been finally quelled, will revivenation.
The Yukou Rebellion was not weaker than swine fever in the slightest.
Wherever they passed, the young women were snatched, the others were killed, and the houses were burned down, like locusts sweeping the crops, and the losses were worse than swine fever.
Even if you ignore the threat of Yukou and rush out of the water column at the bottom of the sea, I wonder if it will happen again, and dare to let the fishermen go into the sea?
He looked at the vast sea and lamented how small and ignorant man was in front of nature.
What should the ignorant self do to ensure that the coastal people live and work in peace and contentment?
He walked along the beach, pondering what he should do next.
The seawater has a strong ability to purify itself, and the color gradually fades, turning from blue-black to gray-blue.
Gray waves, rolling on the scaly sea, slammed into the shore sand, burrowed into the soles of his boots, and retreated with his pace.
"General, general......" The word Ning panted from far and near.
The general stopped, his back to the sea.
Zi Ning stopped his feet and breathless: "Too ...... The prince is here. ”
"Got it." The general calmly spat into the sea breeze.
The crown prince has always liked to be funny, and he wants to show his imperial grace in front of others at every turn.
Come on, just pretend you don't know, what to do.
He was about to go back to the barracks, but his feet were dragged by something, and he looked down and held his boots tightly with one hand.
I felt something strange on my feet before, and I thought it was the waves making trouble.
When Zi Ning saw it, he was so shocked that he covered his mouth with his hand, and when he reacted, he scolded loudly:
"Bold! Don't let it go! ”
The man curled up by his boot did not move.
It was a woman, her exposed arms were extremely white, her hair was all scattered, and her face and body were so wet that she couldn't see her clearly.
It must have been a wave that sent her here, and then she grabbed the general's boots as a lifesaver.
"Hiss~" The sound of horses roared, and the prince's men and horses appeared.
Zi Ning hurriedly brushed away the woman's hand, rescued the general's boots, probed the woman's nose, and asked in a panic: "She still has a breath, what should the villain do?" ”
The general thought to himself, if this woman is seen by the prince, he will definitely seize his handle, saying that his coastal defense is lax, and a wave can send a woman, so why can't the invaders send it?
I'm afraid I can't explain it clearly for a while.
According to the character of the prince, he will definitely make a big fuss.
Let a sleeping dog lie..
"It's settled, don't let others find out." The general decisively took off his cloak, threw it to Zi Ning, and turned to meet the prince's team.
Zi Ning hurriedly wrapped the woman on the ground with a cloak and ran away with her.
