Revised Volume 2 Shadow Scroll Chapter 21 The Sword of Advent
Ferrari and I had lunch and left for the North Sichuan Prefecture without resting. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the Great Era, Xichuan was liberated very early, but it was immediately looted as a resource base and was poor, and it did not take advantage of the development in the end. It was not until 3009 that two cities were approved in the entire Xichuan region: Rongcheng and Yuzhou, and no urban divisions have been added to this day. Fifty kilometers north of the city of Rongcheng, all the way to the border of Xichuan, is the so-called North Sichuan Prefecture. The entire area of nearly 1,000 kilometers has no urban planning and organization, and basically spontaneously forms one group of towns and cities according to the situation of the garrison and residents. My home is one hundred and thirty kilometers away from Rongcheng, which is not too far. But the road was so bad that I didn't arrive until 7 p.m. by car. It is enough to turn Ferrari, who does not often walk inland, upside down.
When I finally arrived at my door, I was stunned and didn't dare to knock. Ferrari waited impatiently and rang the doorbell for me, and I broke out in a cold sweat. With a bang, the small window in the iron door opened, revealing part of the old man's unpopular face. He hadn't seen me in more than three years, but as if I didn't exist, his eyes were only looking for the space around me. After looking for a while and finding nothing, he asked, "What about Comrade General?" ”
I had to dodge away, revealing Ferrari behind me, and said, "This is General Zhao......"
Immediately there was a fierce sound of unlocking the door, and my dad and my mom almost rushed out to see the surprise. In their impression, the general should be the kind with a majestic face and a majestic face, and it has nothing to do with people like us who look like the intellectual IT elite. They watched Ferrari for a while, and then looked at me as if I had teeth. Ferrari looked at me, smiled wryly, handed over the papers, and said, "Uncle, it's exaggerated, but it's basically true." ”
After verifying my identity, my parents' attitude changed to a point where I was embarrassed. They were three times more enthusiastic about Ferrari than I thought, and the only good thing was that they didn't call relatives and neighbors to see them, which was already very face-saving.
My parents were just such a son as me, and although they treated me as badly as I had treated them, when they saw that they had brought back a beautiful girl, they immediately put aside their jealousy of me and looked at Ferrari carefully. My mom kept asking her about the situation and asked, "It's 25 this year, right?" It looks like it's going to be more mature. I cleared my throat and said, "Mom, you can't even be promoted to colonel under 25, and you are now a brigadier general." So my mom immediately guessed that she was 26 years old, and anyway, she climbed up slightly according to my age. After learning the actual situation, she couldn't help but show a little disappointed look, and muttered: "Then what are you still playing, get married early." ”
Do you talk like that without asking?! If Ferrari and I don't have anything to do with it, isn't that to laugh at death? I was about to argue when my dad interjected and said, "Comrade General...... Uh, don't mind if I call you Xiao Zhao, right? Do not pretend to be a thief of my eyes. Since we are all here, let's make a statement: we fully agree with your affairs, let's set a time to do it as soon as possible. ”
Ferrari and I both looked at each other, not knowing what to do. These two old men didn't even intend to let us talk. Under their push, I had no choice but to bite the bullet. With this move, my parents' faces were going to laugh. My mom immediately pulled Ferrari inside and gave her some heirloom. I lay on the table and looked at my dad weakly and asked, "Why can't I hide it from you?" My dad despised me triumphantly and said, "Don't look at your military rank rising quickly, in this regard, you are still decades away from Lao Tzu!" "I had to give in for a while. The old man was obscene for a while, and asked proudly: "You are not young, the other party is so old, it is time to think about marriage earlier." You don't remember that high school one, do you? I snorted for a while and said, "Don't mention that, or I'll turn my face." ”
The old man was about to fight with me over whether or not it was synonymous with a big rebellion, when Ferrari and my mother came out. My mother really gave her the heirloom jade bracelet, and she was smiling all over her face, and she seemed to be very satisfied with her. We are obviously here to work, but we have become running to see our in-laws, which is really unexpected.
Ferrari behaved very well in front of my parents and was very thoughtful about everything during meals. After a while, the two of them had already regarded her as their own, and kept talking about my past scandals and making fun of me. The more I listened, the more wrong it became, so I hurriedly stopped the car and said that we still had to work, and it was not too late, and we had to go back to the GDI guest house to stay. Only then did he grab Ferrari and escape from the house.
We walked side by side on the street, and Ferrari had never seen the customs of Nishikawa, so he couldn't stop looking around. I casually asked her, "How is it, can you stand those two old ones?" Ferrari patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "Compared with Guo Guang, the type is different, and it can stand up." I reached out and took her by the hand, pulled her to a halt and asked, "What do you think of their proposal?" Can we talk about getting married? ”
Ferrari rolled her eyes, smiled wickedly at me, and asked, "You tried to trick me into getting laid, did you?" It must have been that he didn't succeed yesterday, and now he is still plotting against him. I said solemnly: "Going to bed is a matter of going to bed, and something as important as marriage needs to be considered separately - haven't you thought about it?" Ferrari stretched out his hand to stop me from continuing and said, "Now that this case is done, we'll talk about it again." ”
It can't be helped, what she decides, that can't be changed, it's up to her.
Nagisa is very active in the North Sichuan Branch. According to records, he once had a record of fighting for 14 months in a row. At that time, the Xichuan region was listed as the focus of the strategy by Weiyang County, a small third-rate country in the Heavenly Realm. This small country is really nothing in the Heavenly Realm, according to the records on the map I have obtained, it is just an uncivilized land far away on the southeastern island of the Heavenly Realm Continent, and even the town keeper is only a fifth-level god general family. However, the country's dedication to the land of the world is humiliating, and more than 20 years ago, it launched a series of conspiracy explosions, assassinations and other infiltration activities, which lasted for nearly a decade and posed a great threat to the stability of the Xichuan region.
Zhu Naiqun's actual contribution was to crack a number of cases in succession during the last four years of the sabotage in Weiyang County, and finally organized an operation to kill a high-ranking Celestial Agent. Because Weiyang's destruction stopped quickly after that time, it should have killed the **** class of others, which is equivalent to extermination.
His glorious deeds, page by page, can only be finished when he has cataracts. Ferrari and I spent about half a month jumping through the materials, and sure enough, we didn't see any problems. If it weren't for his prejudices in the first place, it is estimated that he would still be able to see the surging admiration.
The next trip is to interview the old people and ask for materials. Because the North Sichuan Administration has been abolished, most of the original personnel have retired or transferred to various parts of Sichuan, and this work is simply laborious. Under my father's care, I opened the back door and borrowed an old-fashioned off-road jeep from the army, and acted as a driver myself, carrying Ferrari to the south and north of the river. Anyway, she is capable, so she will stay at the place to ask for materials, and I will concentrate on driving.
More than a month has passed, and Ferrari and I have traveled all over the mountains and rivers of Nishikawa. The work of visiting the old people did not go very smoothly and was basically fruitless. It's not that Zhu Naiqun used money or anything to shut people's mouths - as long as anyone who has worked in such a unit knows that all those old revolutionaries who have worked for more than 30 years and started from the great era are not afraid of heaven and earth at all, and will never be intimidated or bought by people other than the chief they deem. If you encounter someone who doesn't agree with Nagisa, you have to say a lot of things if you don't make it up.
The problem is that most of the people he worked with back then are dead, and they don't seem to be unnatural deaths. The front-line secret police who are fighting against the gods of the heavenly realm are far more loaded than ordinary people, and they are aging very quickly. When Ferrari and I found an old colleague in Azusa County who was three years older than Nagisa, he was too old to be human, and he was extremely senile and dementia, and he didn't even have a normal biological reaction when he saw us. The visit had a big impact on our mood, and Ferrari felt a little discouraged. The investigation has been going on for nearly two months, and it is now approaching New Year's Day in '66. It seems that in the end, we will only return to the north empty-handed.
The last subject of the visit lived in a Tibetan area in northwestern Sichuan, and contact was very inconvenient. Basically, if we called to find out about him, it would take us about the same time as if we were to drive there ourselves. I was a little hesitant and asked Ferrari if he was still going. Tibetan areas are often deserted, and the cold and lack of oxygen are a great test for Ferrari, who grew up on the island. She hesitated a little, but decided to go. We replenished our belongings in Rongcheng for a while, and then drove to the plateau of Sichuan and Tibet.
On October 5, 3065, a strange incident occurred at the GDI Antarctic radar station. It was spring in Antarctica, and suddenly there was a snowstorm for no reason. After the blizzard, sixteen large array radars of the radar station were seriously damaged. Although GDI organized emergency repairs, the weather in the Antarctic region was changeable, and many radars were completely destroyed, so new ones had to be transported from the mainland to be reinstalled, which greatly affected the GDI global radio wave monitoring system and lunar orbit monitoring work. Of course, no one paid much attention to it. The analysis report also regarded it as a fortuitous catastrophic accident, and did not even make a basic crisis prediction.
On 10 November, Marshal Chen Jiale made a trip for the expeditionary force at the Anning Military Port in the illusory world. The 1st Expeditionary Force of the GDI began to invade the Celestial Colony on the other side of the Illusory Realm (to be precise, this definition is no longer accurate, it has become independent from the Celestial Realm) Canaan.
The Illusory World is one of the strangest parallel worlds discovered so far, and it is in an extremely unstable state. The sky there was filled with electromagnetic storms, and long-distance radio communication was simply impossible. Earthquakes and anomalous geographical activity were frequent, and the map of the deserted area outside the GDI colony was changed every six months on average, and each time it was unrecognizable. It often only takes one night, and the mountains become flat lakes, and the sea becomes mulberry fields. Except for the few stable islands that have been discovered, the roads and air lanes cannot be stably guaranteed, so the conventional long-range attack of the air force and army is not advisable.
After more than ten years of running the Illusory Colony, GDI finally found that on the Ocean of the Illusory World, the anomalous changes caused by this dimensional instability were slightly lighter. At the same time, the ability of huge warships to survive natural disasters is much stronger than that of armored vehicles, etc., so it was decided to use ocean-going navies to carry marine troops into operations.
In such a harsh world, there is a huge amount of sitee storage. In recent years, I've seen a lot of research articles in the GDI internal science journal about the use of Sitee resources. It is strange that such a good thing still has a huge voice of opposition. It stands to reason that GDI has been at least 10 years old to implement the plan to grab the mine, starting with the acquisition of the sitee application plan. However, they quarreled for nearly ten years, and even the meaning of establishing an illusory colony was debated until three years ago. Now everything is easy to say: for the sake of military value, resource value. Until now, there has been no power on earth to conquer the heavenly realm. Therefore, it is obvious that the purpose of occupying the Illusory Realm is not to expand the territory, but to increase the strength and finally conquer the Heavenly Realm. But such an obvious problem, how can it be unclear for ten years? We can't give a reasonable explanation, even if the two sides of the argument have been arguing for ten years and have suffered many cerebral hemorrhages, can they clarify their positions?
The operations of the First Expeditionary Force in the Illusory Realm are top secret. Because the weather is not predictable, even the date is decided ten days in advance, and no one on our side knows at all. When the giant ship of the GDI Fantasy World Navy was heading for the waters of Ganaan, I was looking at the materials of Nagisa No-kuni with Ferrari. This operation has been prepared for a long time and has invested extremely enormously, and according to the information we have, it is also imperative that we must succeed and cannot afford to lose it. After sailing on the ocean for nearly a month, encountering a number of natural disasters and losing some of its supply ships, the fleet arrived in the waters of Ganan on December 7 and came into contact with the Ganan army.
Ironically, this was the first time that the regular armies of the GDI and the Celestial Realm had clashed, but neither of them was on their own soil. The mode of battle was a surprise to all our generals. In the exercises conducted in advance, the most fearful thing for the GDI Phantom Army was that it would be attacked by the opposing Divine General's troops, so they worked hard in this regard. Not only have they built multi-layer closed armored gates, equipped with body armor and hand-to-hand combat weapons, but they are also equipped with some agents with extraordinary abilities collected and trained by GDI (the Wakuni Toba Research Institute where Han Han works seems to be doing this) to protect the leaders of each unit.
However, at the beginning of the battle, it was not the same at all. None of the generals of the Canaan army rushed to the front line, and they were all nested in bunkers. And the mode of combat has become a completely modern army and naval operation! Because of the miscalculation of the combat mode, the warships of the GDI Phantom Army are mainly loaded with marine combat troops, and the main battle weapons are carried very little. More or less, in terms of the advance combat preparations, it was a complete failure.
Of course, our GDI is not vegetarian. Strength speaks for itself, and it proves everything. In any case, the Kingdom of Canaan has only been established for two years. Even though they have three heads and six arms and never sleep, they still lag far behind the GDI Phantom Army in terms of the number of troops and the quality of their weapons. In combat, their only advantage is a long-range land-based cannon that can cause damage from a distance of 100 kilometers and hit targets with relative accuracy within 80 kilometers. This distance is farther than the guns of any GDI warship, and because of electromagnetic interference, GDI cannot dispatch aircraft and cruise missiles to attack, so it has to risk great danger to dispatch the army. The artillery position in Canaan became the focus of contention between the two sides, and the killing was bloody.
When the GDI Marine Corps fought in front of that position, they found that there was a solid castle in front of them. Although the city walls had made many gaps in the stray bullets of the artillery battle, they were also nightmare fortifications for the infantry who lacked heavy weapons. Expect artillery support from a cluster of warships seventy-five kilometers away? I'm afraid that before the city wall is broken, my side will be killed by mistake until the whole army is wiped out. In the land battle, the opponent's god general troops finally appeared, and with the mechanized troops, the battle made our marines miserable. It is said that there are several assault masters of the 'Thousand People Chop' type inside, and it is estimated that Hong Zhifeng is also in it.
GDI's account of the war is not very detailed, and no one is willing to reveal their scars, and this sentiment has continued since ancient times. Most of my knowledge of this operation was later obtained from the oral accounts and memoirs of those who experienced it, so it was very one-sided and sketchy. After nearly ten days of fighting, the GDI lost half of the total force and the 75,000-strong Marine Corps failed to take the artillery fortress of Canaan, but it was killed by our side in the artillery battle, which was an unexpected gain. At that time, the artillery battle was fierce, and it is said that some amphibious landing ships were fired offshore from the sea, and the high-performance tanks carried on them were fired on the deck together.
At this time, the loss of one's own warships was already more than half, and from a military point of view, it was already on the verge of collapse. The only thing that supports everyone is the belief that the Canaanites are the only ones who resist them, and that the undefended Canaan itself is ahead.
In the early morning of December 18, a watchman at the GDI Nash Space Monitoring Center in North America suddenly discovered an anomaly: in the lunar orbit, an object that was rapidly changing orbit appeared in the airspace monitored by the Nash Center. Judging from the movement attitude, it will definitely not be an abnormal float of space junk. Although he reported the situation in time, he did not receive the attention he deserved. The duty officer just said, "I'll come back tomorrow." "Didn't come back from the resort until noon the next day.
When they organized a routine inquiry, they were surprised to find that it was the abandoned satellite CHN2800, which was supposed to be within the monitoring range of the Antarctic monitoring station. Thirty years ago, when the GDI Space Agency organized a survey of lunar orbital objects, it detected this seemingly obsolete-long satellite launched before the Great Era. Because there has been no movement and signal transmission, it was soon forgotten as one of the many space junks left by the previous generation. But this satellite, which has been sleeping in the field of vision of GDI for 30 years and waiting in space for more than 200 years, has actually changed its gauge. What is it?
Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the director of the Nash Center, and a sense of foreboding enveloped him. When he urgently reported to the GDI Space Agency, an anomaly occurred.
At this time, on the other side of the world, I had just finished running with Ferrari in the health zone. The last witness had already completed the interview, and the conclusion was that nothing had been gained and that the investigation of Nagisa had failed. For some reason, I was relieved. Ferrari didn't seem to be disappointed as much as he imagined, but he thought it would be better to get rid of it sooner.
It's just that the GDI cadres I met in the Tibetan area were really annoying, pestering Ferrari to toast, and they were very inappropriate in their back and forth actions. If Ferrari hadn't calmed down and told me not to move, I would have wanted to fight those perverts. The perverts invited us to stay a few more days, but Ferrari refused and left with me. However, because it was not the right time to leave, there were still five hours to drive from Rongcheng, and it was already dark to the point that I couldn't drive, so I had to sleep in the wilderness halfway.
"The case is over, how are you going? The transfer over there has already been negotiated, right? "It's rare for me to ask her questions about her future.
"Well, almost. When the time comes, you have to come with me. Ferrari was in a daze and asked me again, "Is it really impossible to drive again, Mr. Driver?" ”
Just kidding, how dangerous is this road? Miss, you're used to driving the S735 at high speed, and you can't drive it at all, you know?
After I lectured her again, Ferrari said to me with a very uncomfortable look: "But I haven't taken a shower for a week since I left Rongcheng, so it's very uncomfortable." You figure it out for me. ”
I pretended to be stupid and said, "Isn't it okay to spend the night in Kang District?" Isn't there a bathhouse there? ”
Ferrari sneered, "You're pretending to be stupid! Those people are not good things, what if something happens? You can't bear to let your wife have a big spring! ”
Hearing her snort, I suddenly felt extremely sweet in my heart, and patted my chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll get it for you!" As he got out of the car, he picked up the big tin bucket on the back seat, poured some fuel and made a simple stove, and boiled water. Ferrari laughed. He said, "Well, it's good to wipe it, thank you." ”
I whimpered twice and said, "Your birthday has passed before you know it, do you have any plans?" ”
Ferrari snorted softly, "Can't help it in less than a year?" ”
I sneered, "You can find me someone like me who can stand the rules?" ”
Ferrari stopped talking, and I didn't plan to achieve anything about this kind of verbal war, so I turned around and concentrated on boiling water. After a while, Ferrari spoke: "I have some things from the past, and while we don't have a relationship, I must tell you about it, or I'm afraid I'll regret it." ”
"I'm listening." I stared at the flames and thought: Is she going to confess to me that she has had a boyfriend, had been to bed, had had a baby, and other depraved deeds? Would I care? I'm sure I'll care, but listen to it.
"What do you think about lesbians? It's the GL that is rumored on the Internet. Ferrari asked me suddenly.
No way? I looked at her in amazement. She waved her hand again and again: "You talk about your opinion first, it's not such a simple answer, you look at me like this at this time?" I reassured myself and said, "Well, I think it's a little easier to accept than gay men, but I'm still not used to it." You won't be ......."
"The college where I studied in New Rome was the hardest hit by this." Ferrari stopped my doubts with his eyes and explained to me, "As for me, I didn't play much when I went to school, otherwise I might have become that kind of person." Still, I felt an influence on myself — a little curious, and a dislike for men. It's hard to correct. ”
"Have you ever done any of this with anyone?" I was curious to interview this kind of practical question.
Ferrari thought about it for a moment, shook his head, and said, "No, it's just that I screamed when I was touched in the bathhouse." ”
We all burst out laughing. I looked closely at Ferrari's face under the firelight and asked, "Then what other questions do you have?" ”
"I said it was a psychological problem. For three or four years after graduating, I didn't feel much about men. Even when I first met you, I only treated you as a passerby. Ferrari paused for a moment and said in one breath, "You might think I'm playing tricks, but I'm not ready yet. Even if you think about it, it's scary. I know that at this age, it is unreasonable to make such a request, but I really hope that you can treat me well and wait patiently for me. I will definitely adjust my mentality as soon as possible and ...... with you."
I stopped Ferrari and smiled at her, "I'm not in such a hurry, and you shouldn't be in a hurry. What we still have is time. If you don't feel used to it, we can wait until you get married, or even after you get married, we can wait until you get used to it. I don't want to be uncomfortable and depressed when you're doing things that are supposed to be enjoyable. ”
Ferrari let out a long breath, and it seemed that my answer had relieved her of a great distress. She looked at me apologetically and asked, "Have you been waiting too long?" I shook my head. She winked at me and said, "Then you can wipe my back and let you have a good time." ”
Isn't that pure tossing me? But......
There is no reason to refuse such a good thing, right?
The water was already hot, so I wet my towel and asked, "Okay?" ”
Ferrari snuggled up in the back seat, unbuttoned his clothes, and said in a teasing voice, "Okay, let's have fun......"
I was furious and said, "You are so insincere, you are not allowed to use such a voice!" "Walk briskly and get ready to enjoy it.
At this moment, the sky suddenly lit up. That brightness seems to be much greater than that of a sun. We all looked at the moon in amazement. I saw a small extremely bright spot appear next to the moon. Because the brightness is too high, it looks like a streamer, and it even overshadows the brilliance of the moonlight! Suddenly, the spot became brighter, and a long ray of light shot straight through the sky, heading straight for the ground. More than halfway through, the atmosphere had already burned red, forming a reddish soldering iron sticking out into the icy water. The strangest thing is that this light, which is less than halfway into the atmosphere, disappears at the end. The red mist was still lingering, and the white light was still directly connected to the side of the moon, but the end of this moon magic sword was gone!
Ferrari and I watched in amazement, unconsciously reaching out and grabbing each other. I quickly understood what was going on, and suddenly a feeling broke out in my mind: the time for turmoil in the world had arrived. Can I still live with the happiness in front of me and live with the woman I love so much?
"I don't know what it is, but I'm uneasy." Ferrari muttered to me.
"Whatever that matters, let's get married when we get back." I replied without a clue.
Ferrari didn't speak again, but buried his head in my chest. I know she's agreed. However, since the great wheel of the times has turned rapidly, will those of us who are trying to cling to it and live comfortably on it be able to do so? (To be continued.) )
