Seeing Xia Yu nodding in understanding, Wu Jianming continued: "At that time, our country's military strength was low, and science and technology were blocked by Western countries, which forced my country to embark on the road of independent research and development. Fortunately, the international environment does not allow for the outbreak of all-out war, which also buys time for our country to develop peacefully. ”

Taking a sip of tea, Wu Jianming continued: "But obviously, the surrounding environment of our country is very unstable, Vietnam, the Philippines, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, India, and even Russia are more or less vigilant or vigilant against our country, especially the US Pacific strategic plan, the three island chains directly block China's access to the Pacific Ocean, compressing China's maritime strategic space. ”

"But with the development of our country's economic, scientific and technological and military strength, it is inevitable and necessary to break through these blockade lines and enter the Pacific Ocean." Wu Jianming shook his head and said: "So our country's voice in the international community will become stronger and stronger, but at the same time, it will also create more controversy, and even cause local battles, I think you should be deeply aware of this." ”

Hearing this, Xia Yu nodded in understanding. As a pilot, especially when I was a naval aviation, I was responsible for a lot of interception missions, and in the end there was even a real firefight, which would have been impossible ten years ago.

In that era when the country's military strength was weak, I am afraid that even if it was beaten down by the other party's initiative to open fire, as long as it did not directly cause social turmoil, perhaps the country would continue to choose forbearance. However, with the improvement of international status and the enhancement of comprehensive strength, disputes and even disputes with neighboring countries have gradually become intensive in recent times.

Therefore, the country wants to respond strongly to the increasingly intensive provocations of neighboring countries and regions in recent times, and at the same time, it is also to test the overall reaction of Western countries. However, considering that things are likely to be expanded and out of control, in order to be able to ensure control of the development of the situation, the state has a new task requirement, that is, to form a completely new force, a special operations force with rapid response. ”

"Forming a new unit?" Xia Yu was stunned for a moment, this was something that Xia Yu didn't expect at all.

"Yes, a whole new force." Wu Jianming looked at Xia Yu and said: "Regarding the content of this army, I will not disclose any specific information before you join, and I brought you here with Ye Zi just to ask you if you are willing to join this army." ”

"Don't rush to agree just yet." Seeing that Xia Yu immediately wanted to nod in agreement, Wu Jianming immediately waved his hand to stop it, and then looked at Xia Yu seriously and said: "I want to explain in advance that after joining this army, you have no option to retire except death, that is to say, this is a lifelong career, even so, did you still decide to join?" ”

looked at Xia Yu with some anticipation, hoping that what Xia Yu said was what he wanted to hear, but Wu Jianming was a little worried in his heart, after all, this is about a person's life, so he hesitated for a moment, and before Xia Yu could speak, Wu Jianming hurriedly said: "I'm still not in a hurry to urge you, give you two days to think about it, and then give me the answer after two days." ”

Wu Jianming planned to give Xia Yu time, but Xia Yu suddenly said: "What else do you want, I definitely want to join." ”

Xia Yu's answer was very natural, but it made Wu Jianming stunned. When his father, the No. 2 chief, suddenly told him about this matter, even Wu Jianming himself hesitated for a day or two, but he didn't expect Xia Yu to be in this situation where he almost didn't even think about it and directly agreed to join.

"Why?" Wu Jianming asked curiously: "This is directly related to your future life, once you join, you can't even think about retiring from the army." ”

Xia Yu unceremoniously took a sip of the tea that Wu Jianming poured for him, and said: "I am a pilot, as long as there are no accidents, then I will fly directly to the age of 45, if the state is better, it is estimated that I can fly directly to the age of 50." ”

After a pause, Xia Yu said: "After the age of 50, I have become an old man, and I have been in the army for most of my life. It's better to stay in the army all the time and do some interesting work, I guess I've been dealing with airplanes in my life, I'm not allowed to fly fighter planes at the age of 50, I can fly transport planes, it's really not good, it's no problem for me to be a ground commander, right? I'm a colonel now, so I can't figure out if I can be a general in the future, and what kind of retirement will I be. ”

Wu Jianming heard that there was a black line, and now many pilots do not want to continue flying after reaching 45, most of them are professional after leaving the army, and go to the local government to mix up with petty officials or something, and some still want to fly, and they also go to the civil aviation to drive passenger planes, and those who really hand over their lives to the army actually account for only a small part.

Xia Yu is not yet thirty years old, and he actually got the rank of colonel, think about it from another angle, maybe Xia Yu said that he can be a general in the future, and it is not necessarily a wild word. Wu Jianming nodded understandingly, but still asked: "Then you have to discuss with Ye Zi, after all, you are already married, and it is impossible to bypass her in your future life, isn't it?" ”

Hearing Wu Jianming's words, Xia Yu shook his head with a smile and said, "Ye Zi, it's really my luck to be able to get her, do you know why?" ”

Without waiting for Wu Jianming to answer, Xia Yu spoke: "That's because she will respect my decision, and most importantly, I will also respect her decision." I think the leaves will definitely agree to me joining this army. ”

Wu Jianming was curious and asked, "Why are you so sure?" ”

"If at the beginning I didn't know why you came to report to the 34th Division this time, and you brought the leaves with you, then now I can basically guess from what you told me." Xia Yu smiled and said, "I'm afraid you plan to let Ye Zi join this army as well, right?" As a healthcare worker, right? ”

Wu Jianming was stunned when he heard this, then looked at Xia Yu very curiously, and said: "Hey, you kid, although I know that you have a flexible brain, but you are too exaggerated, tell me, how did you guess it?" ”

Xia Yu pretended to take a sip of tea, then gently put down the teacup, looked at Wu Jianming and said: "Team Wu, you said before that this is a brand-new army that is being formed, since it is a new army, it must need medical personnel, isn't Ye Zi a medical staff, this is very simple to think of." ”

When Wu Jianming heard this, he thought that Xia Yu had really guessed the content of this army, and it was really so evil that people couldn't believe it, and after hearing what Xia Yu said, he breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head and smiled: "This is just one of the reasons, there is another more important reason." ”

"Is there another reason?" Xia Yu looked at Wu Jianming curiously and asked, "What is the reason?" ”
