Although the old cat insisted on the temporary start of the factory, he made the martyr's medal as soon as possible and sent it back to his brother who died in battle, but he was blasted out by Major General Liu for unreasonable reasons.

For this reason, the old cat also had a physical conflict with the guards, but the previous battle had exhausted his physical strength, and he had always been brave and good at fighting this time he failed to win the young master soldiers in the military region, and was beaten to the ground by eight guards and his nose and face were swollen, and finally he was thrown out of the military region.

The veteran was beaten to an extremely embarrassing point, his military uniform was torn, his clothes were ragged and unsightly, his face was full of wounds and bruises, he pinched the check given by Major General Liu, walked like a walking corpse, and went to the bank to exchange the check for the work card.

In this process, the old cat was also blocked by the security guard many times, and the staff of the bank thought that this was a beggar who bought a stall military uniform and came in to make trouble, and the smell of this guy was too strong, and smoked away a lot of customers, and the banking business was affected, and the staff once asked the old cat to get out.

If it weren't for the check with the military code, which indicated that the old cat was not a fake soldier, the security guard of the bank would probably have to serve with sticks.

After the old cat had finished exchanging it, he walked out of the bank in a daze, and seemed to be a little hungry, so he took some loose money in his pocket and went to the street to buy a roast cake, but the stall owner did not ask for money, because the loose money was stained with blood, and it was smelly and dirty.

The stall owner pinched his nose, as if avoiding a garbage can, and took out a piece of baked cake very impatiently, and threw it into the old cat's hand without even giving the packaging bag, scolding and saying: "Hurry up and go, don't affect my business here." ”

The old cat took the baked cake, walked to a corner, and sat down on the ground, surrounded by a garbage can, and some sewage around, but maybe it was because he smelled bad, and he couldn't smell anything at all.

The old cat broke a piece from the baked cake and put it in his mouth with empty eyes, chewing dryly, as if chewing a piece of paraffin, and his tongue seemed to be numb, and he couldn't eat any taste.

A scantily clad prostitute walked down the alleyway, followed by a man who had just been flirted, and the man couldn't wait to knead the prostitute, leaving kiss marks on the neck, and kissing her flushed.

Passing by the corner and seeing an old cat covered in blood, the prostitute was so frightened that her face was so frightened that a small piece of makeup fell off, and she drilled into the man's arms.

The old cat's military uniform is too torn, the rank on his shoulders and the red flag sewn are covered by filth, and he really can't see it if he doesn't look closely, coupled with the behavior of hiding in the corner and chewing baked cakes, this man directly treats the old cat as a beggar, he is eager to show his "heroism", and kicks it on the trash can angrily.

The overturned garbage spilled the old cat's body, making the filth on his body thicker, and the man hugged the prostitute, spit out a mouthful of phlegm, and scolded and said: "Stupid thing, scare the old woman, grass!" ”

The prostitute smiled demonstratively at the old cat, and the satisfaction and superiority of bullying the weak came spontaneously, and the mood was much better, and happily put her arms around the man's waist, and the two left the alley.

The old cat didn't seem to feel anything, and was still mechanically chewing the baked cakes, but at this moment, his mind began to think about a question: Why did I join the army in the first place?

The answer to this question, the old cat really can't remember clearly, he is a veteran, joined the army at the age of 19, is 39 years old this year, has been in the army for 20 years, dedicated his entire passionate youth to the army, he has witnessed the glory of the republic, witnessed the tragedy of the first year of Honkai, endured the humiliation of Honkai for 3 years, experienced the reconstruction of the glory of the Republic, and he has changed from the stupid private to the current lieutenant colonel of the Wilderness Expeditionary Force.

The old cat thought desperately, hoping to remember the original intention of throwing his entire youth into the army, but every time he was about to think of the answer, there was an invisible force that pushed his thoughts away, so that he couldn't think of anything.

When was the first time you got hurt? The old cat began to think about it again.

Oh yes, Wenchuan earthquake!

At that time, he was the first army to participate in disaster relief, and when he was rescuing the wounded, he encountered aftershocks, and the captain asked him to withdraw, but he refused to withdraw, because there was a wounded man in front of him who had just been dragged out halfway, and if he left, the wounded man would die.

A few minutes later, when the aftershocks came, he was hit by falling rocks and broke his hands, but he fought desperately, biting the collar of the wounded man with his teeth, and dragged the wounded man out, breaking two teeth for this.

How was it feeling at the time? Afraid? Fear? To be honest, there really isn't, only pride!

The scars left by the fracture surgery are still on his hands, and more than ten years later, he will still be full of pride when he brags to his comrades: two scars for one life, it's really worth!

Later, there were many things, I saw blood once, and the whole person transformed, he was not surprised, he was injured again and again, and even came back from the ghost gate again and again, so that everyone in the medical class knew him.

That's how the nickname "old cat" comes from, cats, nine lives, no matter how much you toss, you can't die!

The old cat has never doubted his choice, soldiers, who are you not going to go on when disaster comes? Let the common people go? If you don't bleed, who will bleed? Let the common people flow?

You can try to talk about this kind of thing? The old squad leader blows your dog's head!

The old cat is not afraid of sacrifice, he is really not afraid of sacrifice, just like he said to Xingtian at the time, someone must do the dirty work, this kind of thing is spread on your head, you have to do it, this is the way. If no one is happy with it, the country will be finished.

The old cat also thought about how he would feel before he died on the battlefield one day.

! Pride! Lao Tzu was born to wear a military uniform and cover the national flag, isn't this proud?

But at this moment, the old cat was a little shaken, he had not regretted it for twenty years, and this time he was really a little shaken.

He didn't even think about corruption, laziness, inaction, he was a rough man, how could he have the brains to think about this, he just thought, if he was one of the dead brothers today, what kind of treatment would it be?

Give out some pensions, and then it's gone? Nor the Order of Martyrs? Do you have to wait for the group of people on vacation to go to work?

What about the civilians who once swore to defend themselves? Those who should go to work, those who should sell baked cakes, those who should prostitute, those who should go to bed to pick up customers, will the whole country change in the slightest because of his death?

The old cat has fought all his life, what has he not seen? Earthquakes, floods, typhoons, mutant creatures, Federation tanks, all seen! Never scared!

But now, he is afraid, really a little afraid, not afraid of death, but afraid of being forgotten, but afraid that if one day he is dead on the battlefield, he can only leave a string of numbers on the check, and disappear from then on.

Thinking of this, this iron man who has been on the battlefield for 20 years shrank in the corner of the wall and cried, with old tears flowing down his face...
