Chapter 184: Going to Korea
On a crowded commercial street in the northern city of Kuching, Zhang Longchu, who had finished the call, put his mobile phone in his pocket and looked around at the crowds of people rubbing shoulders around him, and the shops on both sides of the street full of huge lanterns, blessing characters, and Spring Festival couplets, with a lonely expression on his face.
Before contacting Liu Junshan, he had already talked to Li Xian'er on the phone, originally wanting to meet his girlfriend during the Spring Festival, but he didn't expect to get the news that Li Xian'er planned to stay in Sabah to celebrate the New Year with his colleagues who also participated in the education internship.
Although he repeatedly apologized to his girlfriend on the surface, although the Spring Festival is a national holiday in Malaysia, the time is only one day, and it is too inconvenient to go back and forth;
None of the trainee teachers around him went home, and all of them planned to spend the New Year in the homes of close students, and then get together to celebrate the New Year, which seems to be a tradition of Malay-Chinese educators, and other reasons expressed understanding, but Zhang Longchu still has some feelings in his heart.
It felt like it was not much different from when he fled from the United States in a hurry, but the depth was different.
"Everyone has their own life, and you are not the center of the world, why do you think that others must revolve around you..."A thought flashed in his heart, Zhang Longchu sighed softly and muttered to himself.
As he spoke, the strange backpack he straddled his shoulders was inadvertently touched by the crowded pedestrians, which suddenly made Zhang Longchu think like he woke up: "Zhang Longchu, is it time for you to care so much about your personal feelings?"
Think about the secret manipulation of the 'army group' Paul to you, you are still a pawn of others, only to waste half a year in the remote mountains, divided into a small warlord who can't find a shadow on the map of Asia, so proudly forget your difficult situation?
Wake up, boy, wake up, you are not the hero of a bloody idol drama, you live by falling in love with people, the most important thing you should consider at this moment is where to collect and kill 30,000 people as soon as possible, swallow their souls, and let strange things grow again...", pondering, melted into the crowd.
At more than 10 o'clock in the morning 3 days later, on the Korean and Korean Peninsula in Asia, Seoul, the capital of the Republic of China, a heavy snowfall caused by the cold of early spring had just passed, and the whole city was wrapped in silver light.
Outside Seoul International Airport, the tarmac, which has just been cleared of snow and returned to normal use, welcomed the first visitors after the Chinese New Year, and the most conspicuous of them was a European Airbus A908 passenger plane.
This type of large plane can carry more than 1,000 passengers at full capacity, but at the end of this flight, the passengers who stepped off the plane were only in their early 500s, and all of them were wearing straight military uniforms, obviously traveling on a special plane.
Most of these soldiers look to be around 30 years old, although they have dark skin and look a little rustic, but they are still young and strong, and they look heroic;
Only a few of the military ranks on his shoulders are a little older, and he is a little older, but the leader who walks in front of everyone and is obviously the highest status is just a teenager.
"This is South Korea, it feels much colder than Kalimantan.
Hong Shan, everyone has no habit of buying winter clothes, and Koreans will definitely not give us winter casual clothes, so tomorrow you will have time to purchase a batch of popular Korean warm clothes and send them down.
To be the best quality and most expensive, three sets per person. Stepping onto the land of the airport, the young man took a deep breath of cold air, frowned, and turned his head to an officer beside him.
"Yes, General." When the officer, who was nearly forty years old, heard this, he immediately straightened up, replied respectfully, and then turned to his peers and shouted: "The general is afraid that everyone will be cold and not suitable for the Korean weather, so he ordered each person to buy three sets of winter clothes, and specially ordered the best and most expensive."
In the whole of Malaysia, there is no commander who is so attentive and sympathetic to his subordinates.
What have we done, well, all of a sudden, the salary, the position and the opportunity to go to this kind of overseas military exchange training are all there, think about the preferential treatment of the general, we must not disgrace him!
If anyone drags their feet in this training, they will simply go back and jump into the sea! ”
As soon as his words fell, many soldiers behind him had already shouted excitedly: "Don't worry, Chief of Staff, if we really lose the general's face, we will directly wipe our necks in South Korea...";
"The general's face is more precious than our lives, even if I vomit three liters of blood, I must also win the first place in training this time, so that the Koreans can see the power of the Maibiqi Defense Army...";
"Don't talk about Malaysia, even if there is no commander of the local army in the whole of Southeast Asia, who is willing to share weal and woe with his subordinates, but the general came to Korea with us this time, my aunt knows and says that he will glorify his ancestors...", and Zhang Longchu heard these loyal words that his officers scrambled to say, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, but he didn't open his mouth to stop it.
After all, this kind of occasional promotion of warlord kindness is very common in the local armed forces of Southeast Asia, and it is also a necessary means to promote the cohesion of the army.
This is because the separatist forces are actually in an antagonistic relationship with the central government, which symbolizes the country, and they cannot propagate patriotic ideas to the army under their control and tie their hands and feet, so they can only continue to idolize the warlord leaders, so even if he feels ridiculous, Zhang Longchu can only endure it.
Fortunately, the airport bus soon drove in front of the Airbus A908, and in front of the South Korean driver, the officers of the Maibiqi Defense Force consciously regained their composure, which made him feel more comfortable.
Got on the bus all the way to the entrance of the airport outer promenade, and the officers who got off the bus automatically lined up in a neat line according to their ranks, and followed Zhang Longchu in a column of four and walked into the passage.
Suddenly, Zhang Longchu, who was at the forefront, found that he seemed to have become the focus of everyone's attention all of a sudden.
Feeling the gaze cast around him, listening to the whispers of other passengers as they guessed his identity, he couldn't help but try to make his steps as confident and calm as possible, showing the bearing of a superior person, but in fact, he became more and more uncomfortable.
When he was about to reach the end of the trail, seeing a group of reporters waiting from a distance, Zhang Longchu unconsciously slowed down his pace and said to Hong Shan, who was half a position behind him: "Hong Shan, it seems that the South Korean military attaches great importance to our arrival. ”
Although the officers of the Mebizi Autonomous City Defense Force went to South Korea for training, they were nominally participating in military exchange programs between the South Korean military and local Malaysian troops, which was a kind of international military news, and it was not surprising that it would cause some reports.
Hearing Zhang Longchu's order, Hong Shan naturally lowered his voice and passed the order down in rows, and when the officers of the autonomous army at the end heard it, the team just walked out of the trail.
Later, I saw the shots of long guns and short cannons, and reporters with microphones of different sizes flocked around, but they flashed in front of Zhang Longchu, and rushed out of another layman's passage not far away, surrounded by a group of bodyguards wearing black suits and looking powerful, wearing loose sportswear, hats, and masks.
"This, what's the situation..."Zhang Longchu, who was already ready to be interviewed, smiled and was silent, saw this scene, his eyes couldn't help but widen, and he was dumbfounded, and after more than ten seconds, he heard a smiling man's voice in his ears, "May I ask you are the Commander of the Defense Forces of the Federation of Malaysia, Maibiqi Autonomous City, Major General Zhang Longchu, right?" ”
"Yes, I am." Zhang Longchu came back to his senses, looked at a middle-aged man wearing a South Korean military uniform but who didn't have much military temperament and replied with a smile on his face.
"Hello, Your Excellency." The middle-aged man immediately stood up and saluted: "I am the head of the Third Section of the Propaganda Department of the Ministry of National Defense of the Republic of Korea, Major Lee Huai-in.
He was ordered to come to greet the colleagues of the Mebiqi Defense Force who went to South Korea to participate in military exchanges. His phrase 'colleagues' may be appropriate to apply to the soldiers belonging to the two countries, but it suddenly shortened the distance between him and Zhang Longchu and others.
"Ah, Major Li, hello," Zhang Longchu hurriedly said with a military salute: "Then please take care of it." ”
"I can't talk about it," Li Huairen said with an apologetic expression: "Originally, according to the plan, the plane you took should have parked at the Punan Military Airport, and you would take a bus directly to the Seoul Military Training Institute as soon as you got off the plane, but because the heavy snow in Punan District has not stopped, you can only land at the civilian airport instead." ”
"It's okay, we're in too much of a hurry." Hearing this, Zhang Longchu shook his head with a smile, and then led his men out of the airport, accompanied by Li Huairen and another officer of the Ministry of National Defense.
When I arrived at the parking lot, there were several military buses painted in camouflage and a black extended RV with military license plates waiting there.
Zhang Longchu was naturally guided by two South Korean Defense Ministry officers and sat in the back seat of the RV.
Feeling that the South Korean military was doing its best to entertain him, and taking care of some details of politeness, he couldn't help but show a satisfied smile on his face, and was about to say thank you, when he suddenly heard Li Huairen say with a smile: "General, let me briefly introduce to you the military exchange project."
First and foremost, the training courses for you and other officers of the Autonomous Army.
Because you are a major general, you join the Military Training College, a promotion training course specially designed for mid-level officers to be promoted to senior officers, mainly to learn the general history of earth wars, case studies of large-scale wars in modern and modern times, large-scale campaign command skills, etc., and the discipline you receive is the least in all military training, and you can stay overnight, and you can take two days off a week;
Other Defence Force officers will be trained in the promotion of ordinary officers, mainly in military response techniques after the outbreak of a small-scale armed conflict... Wait, you have to stay in a group, manage it centrally, and you can take a day off every half a month, do you think you are still satisfied? (To be continued.) )
