A World in Turmoil Chapter 2 The Oath
Longyan Special Forces, training base.
Each reservist spontaneously stood up straight, and the audience fell silent.
The old man of the political commissar stood on the stage, his hands behind his back, his white hair could not hide the vitality he was constantly releasing from the inside out, he looked around at everyone, his expression was peaceful, "Do you remember how long you have been in the army?" β
One person in the crowd raised his hand, "Report, it's been ten months and twenty days." β
"Time flies so fast, I didn't expect that there were hundreds of people at the beginning, and now there are so many people left, I'm glad to see that you have persevered and not given up. Have you ever regretted your decision? β
"Nope!" The unanimous answer shook the leaves on both sides.
"What's your reason for insisting?"
"Someday, defend your homeland!"
The old man smiled, the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes became more prominent, and he said with a little excitement: "The future of the country is in the hands of you young people!" β
The face of the reservists was full of glory, this was the reward they had paid for more than ten months of sweat and tears, maybe it was just a simple affirmation, but what this affirmation meant, everyone was vaguely aware of.
A few days ago, there were rumors in the army that the ceremony of the reservists was coming, and from that time on, these people were full of anticipation, and they were nervously waiting for the last moment to come.
"I believe you all have an understanding of the recent international situation, in this increasingly turbulent world, even if our country is still in a state of peace, we must be prepared for danger in times of peace and continue to become stronger, so that we can have the strength to contend with the evil forces and protect our people from infringement."
"At this time, when the army is employing people, this is the best time for you young people to shine."
Speaking of this, the old man of the political commissar paused, his eyes were blazing, he looked in the direction of the national flag flying, and asked in a firm tone: "Are you willing to become a real Longyan special forces?" β
"Yes! Willing! Willing! β
ββ¦β¦β
One after another high-pitched willingness resounded in the sky, all the reservists held their heads high, bursting out the strength of their whole bodies, some shouted out their throats, some shouted so red that their faces were flushed, and some people shouted and cried, the scene was filled with excitement, joy, and excitement, and everyone enjoyed this moment, this moment that belonged to them.
"Tomorrow morning, the joining ceremony will be held!"
With the announcement of the final news by the old political commissar, the atmosphere of the scene entered a climax.
"I made it! I really made it! β
"From tomorrow onwards, I will be a real Longyan special forces!"
ββ¦β¦β
The singing and dancing reservists congratulated each other, and they were so happy that they completely ignored the old man's presence, and the old man only looked at the young man in front of him with satisfaction, and fell into his own contemplation.
Zhao Jie hugged Yang Fan and Zhou Ling, "Come, give me five!" Remember, brother! We will always be the pride of the sky! β
"Childish."
Zhou Ling broke free and walked away silently.
"Wood, you can't have a little brotherhood, won't your conscience hurt." Yang Fan casually complained a few words.
"It's okay, he's a woodpecker, let's do it!" Zhao Jie said.
"Smack!" The two hands struck together again, witnessing their growth.
"Yang Fan, remember what I said at the beginning, we signed up hand in hand, admitted together, and he served the motherland! Think about it, how majestic it will be tomorrow when we put on our uniforms......"
"yes, I didn't expect us to really succeed." Yang Fan replied, for him, everything is like a world away, once upon a time he was still the bottom soldier at the end of the crane, and even had the idea of becoming a deserter, but now he has changed and counterattacked and become a real special soldier.
Zhao Jie shook the other party vigorously and solemnly repeated, "Yang Fan, we really succeeded!" β
The next day, in these reservists, the excitement of yesterday had long since dissipated, replaced by composure and calmness, and they stood on the playground with solemn hearts, welcoming the arrival of important people.
This is an important day, all the instructors will be present, Master, Laughing Tiger, Wisdom Orangutan, Ghost Bear, Mad Dog, one after another appeared on the stage, they are the legends of the army, and the future legends will be written by the recruits in the audience.
"Raise the national flag, play the national anthem, salute!"
"Arise, you who do not want to be slaves, and build our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall......"
The neat and consistent movements, sonorous and powerful singing, and unwavering gaze once again illustrate the image of the Chinese soldiers. As long as the familiar melody sounds, the heart of every soldier will be touched and integrated into the eventful years described in the lyrics, which is the era when the pioneers threw their heads and shed their blood for future generations, which makes people can't help but be in awe.
However, unlike in the past, for these reservists, in addition to reverence, the inner emotion is a kind of responsibility and glory, and what emerges in front of their eyes is no longer the image of the pioneers, but as a new participant, creating a new journey story.
"Braving enemy fire, forward, forward, forwardβ" The flag-raising ceremony came to an end amid the rousing slogans.
"Today is October 1, 2020, on this special day, our Longyan special forces also ushered in the joining ceremony of a new batch of reservists, who have gone through many hardships and overcome many difficulties, and finally become brave warriors, they deserve the title of Longyan. Next, I would like to give the floor to our instructors. β
There was thunderous applause below.
Mad Dog stood in front of the microphone, holding the manuscript, and said in a rare and serious manner: "From today onwards, you are no longer recruits, and when the country is in danger, you should be the first to stand up, raise guns and cannons with me, and use our bodies to block the invaders from the gate of the motherland!" β
"Yes!"
Mad Dog read and threw the manuscript in his hand aside, and made an incisive summary in his own words: "It's a master, just rush to the front with Lao Tzu!" β
Ghost Bear then stood up, his face rich in expression, sharing the joy of the reservists, "It's good to see that you have reaped the fruits of success, and this is the reward you deserve." The training in the past was very difficult, but the tasks in the future will be even more difficult, so let us work together to fight for the motherland and the people at all times. β
"Yes!"
Ghost Bear's words were warm, giving encouragement and confidence to the reservists, and they had the most solid backing no matter when and where.
Zhi Gorilla scanned the audience and looked at everyone, "What does the word Long Yan mean, do you all know it?" β
"Yes!"
"The dragon roared, the dragon was full of evil, and the barbarians were terrified! I hope that each of you can become a giant dragon and protect the prosperity of the country! β
"Yes!"
"One day Longyan, lifelong China!" Zhi Gorilla raised his right hand with a serious expression.
"One day Longyan, lifelong China!"
The reservists repeated this sentence loudly, and they will justify themselves with actions in the future.
Xiaohu smiled slightly, squinted his eyes, his speech was still simple, but meaningful, "The road is still very long, the revolution has not yet succeeded, and you still need to work hard." β
The last to speak was the Master, and the cold aura that followed in the past seemed to be hidden, but today he is also a little different.
His words were very light, but everyone below could feel the hidden power in them, and he said indifferently: "The reason why soldiers are respected is not because of the weapons in their hands, but because of the responsibility they have on their shoulders. Thousands of mountains and obstacles, carrying heavy burdens, although tens of millions of people go to me. I hope that you can live up to the name of soldiers and the responsibility of China. β
"Yes!" The sound of the reply showed the determination of each reserve soldier to be immortal.
They stared at the man in front of them, their fists clenched secretly.
"Are you ready?"
Master's question resonated strongly, and every reservist's heart was filled with waves, about the present, about the future, about the challenges from the world that he was about to face.
"Me, are you ready?"
Yang Fan thought of his father, a large part of the reason why he didn't choose to give up at the beginning was the existence of that man, in order to make himself stronger, in order to be able to step on the road that the other party had walked, in order to figure out the cause he had been trying to adhere to for more than ten years, and for the answer in his heart.
Yang Fan knows that this road is the only way, and only by becoming stronger and stronger, so strong that his name resounded all over the world, can the other party hear the call in his heart.
"Me, are you ready?"
The question only flashed in a flash, and Zhou Ling's heart was not shocked, and for him, there was an unshakable answer. He knew deep down that this was only the first step, and that he wanted much more than just becoming a special soldier.
"Me, are you ready?"
Zhao Jie's eyes were filled with tears, his body was trembling with excitement, and he wanted to shout to the world: "I'm ready!" β
All the reservists looked up at the flag fluttering in the wind, their hearts were soothed and purified, they took their oath in the presence of the flag, and in this life, in order to protect that bright red forever, they are always ready to sacrifice their most precious lives.
"I am a soldier of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and I swear: obey the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party, serve the people wholeheartedly, obey orders, be loyal to my duties, strictly abide by discipline, keep secrets, be brave and tenacious, not afraid of sacrifice, practice hard to kill the enemy, always be ready to fight, never betray the army, and swear to defend the motherland to the death."
The resounding oath sounded on the land of China, they are not the earliest oath-takers, nor will they be the last oath-takers, the defenders who go forward and succeed will pass the torches in their hands, so that the fire of China will continue in the long river of time, and the fire will surely illuminate every inch of the land of China.
