"Brethren, please take a moment. ”

Not only the 1st Marine Division, but also the 2nd Marine Division and the rest of the Marine Corps organized personnel to participate in the conference.

More than 10,000 officers and soldiers and more than 1,000 pieces of equipment participated in the meeting.

The conference includes a celebration ceremony, a military parade, a retirement ceremony and a sports meeting, which is not only a celebration of the XX anniversary of the founding of the army, but also a grand event to send off retired veterans.

The use of the Games as a veteran's last activity in the army is a traditional practice in many troops, and it coincides with Army Day, which only appeared after changes were made during the recruitment season. There is no doubt that the festival of Army Day has made the whole retirement atmosphere more profound.

The old chief of staff and the chief of staff appeared, and at this moment, he was standing in front of the microphone on the stage in marine camouflage, and his eyes were blazing at the officers and soldiers.

The officers and men, especially the veterans who are about to retire from active service, are the soldiers brought out by the old chief of staff, and they are all too familiar with this.

"I'm standing here today, I'm very reluctant, I'm very reluctant. ”

Li Mu said in a deep voice, his voice clearly reached the ears of every officer and soldier, and his emotions were a little excited, which everyone could see.

"I like to make promises, every time a new recruit joins the army, I will tell them, do it well, the army will not treat you badly, there will be bread, there will be love. Many of you spent the recruit company at the Lunan training base, which is the camp where you are now. At that time, I was the chief instructor of the recruit corps. I have told you more than once and foremost that we will do our best to train and that the troops will not treat anyone badly. ”

He took a deep breath and said solemnly, "But today, I feel very guilty, when I see so many veterans stripped of their epaulettes and put on big red flowers, I feel very guilty! I'm sorry brethren!"

Li Mu bowed deeply.

Tears of officers and soldiers have already welled up.

Major generals have never apologized to them, and the reason for the apology is that many outstanding veterans cannot continue to serve in the army because of the establishment problems, and they must retire from active duty and return to their places of origin.

It's not the teacher's fault.

"From ordinary people to qualified soldiers to excellent soldiers, I know very well what kind of hardships you have experienced. It is a good time for you to pick up a gun and kill the enemy for the country, but you have to retire from active service, and I am also very clear about your feelings. ”

"Our motherland is a country full of disasters and difficulties, and countless martyrs have sacrificed their lives to realize the ideals of the Chinese nation. In this long process, there will always be countless people who are giving, paying their youth, and even their lives. ”

"The armed forces are undergoing a profound reform of their establishment, and the number of soldiers has been greatly reduced, and this is the only way to strengthen the army. To complete the construction of an army that can provide a strong guarantee for the peace of the country, there are also countless people who have been paying for it. Any price, including the fact that I am standing here today, seeing so many good fighters to retire from active duty. ”

"Brethren, it may be difficult for you to understand the faith of the soldiers, but you must know that the military flag behind me, you are there, and it will not fall. I hope you will always remember that only when you stand can the country and the nation stand! Where you are, that is China!"

Li Mu took a deep breath, "Today is Army Day, and it is also the day when veterans retire from active service. Perhaps, this is also the last Army Day I spent in the army, the last time to see off the veterans. Brethren, I am very proud of you, because I have you under my command, and I have led you in the expedition to Africa, and many of you have even accompanied me on missions in the Middle East. There is nothing more brilliant in my life than this. I am proud and proud to have served with you who are brave and good at fighting, and I will always remember it!"

He took a step back, straightened his clothes, and saluted the officers and soldiers.

This time, he didn't let go of his hand for a long time......

No one bothered Li Mu, he stood on the stage and watched the veterans board the buses, set off one by one, and drove to the railway station, bus station, and airport. The huge playground was soaked with tears, and at the moment of parting, the bloody battle of the past became a memory, tossing back and forth in front of everyone's eyes.

hugged each other goodbye, and a comrade-in-arms solemnly expressed all their emotions.

Do we have to sign up for the army that year?

Do we have to stand guard together that year?

Do we have to peek at the female soldiers taking a shower together that year?

We had to go out and bark that year - did the chicken declare its plan bankrupt because it didn't have the courage?

Do you remember the soaking marks on your military quilt that were soaked with the ** you left behind at night?

Comrade-in-arms, you're leaving, and you didn't tell you whether she was the company commander's wife or the squad leader's girlfriend in your spring dream, or the long-haired female officer in the political department of the organ?

You will never forget, and I am sure you will remember, that my cock is much bigger than yours, and you have never felt inferior because of this, because it does not help to improve the quality of the military.

Dear comrades-in-arms, if you want to cry, cry out loud, don't bear it, it's not a shameful thing, this farewell, I don't know when and where we meet again, maybe there will be no chance to meet again.

Cry, cry happily, and play a lamentation for the glorious years that have passed!

Even if you break your hand when you are running an obstacle, you will still show your white teeth and say to the squad leader, this is a fart, even if you fall down the ravine on the exercise field and break your face, you will also smile brightly and comfort the comrades around you, and say,-you-damn-what does it look like to be a soldier without a scar!

At this moment, you can't control it anymore, let the sadness come to your heart's content!

Finally, take a good look at the familiar trees in the familiar camp and the tactical training ground where I don't know how much of your blood has been left, take a good look, and then take a good look at the new senior rank on the shoulders of the recruits, or you can look at the farewell team, it is the female soldier of the communications battalion, with big breasts and round buttocks, but until you get in the car, you don't have the courage to run over and say to them I want to you.

You are a hateful and lovely bunch of people, because you stand up to heaven and earth, because you are fearless.

In the long scroll of decades of military history, you are a fart, and even many people will not be left by history, but it is precisely because of you that this army can make everyone fear, can protect the country and the people to this day and will continue forever.

Let's go, don't look back when you leave the camp gate, step into an unfamiliar environment, and take your future path. Remember, dear comrades-in-arms, although you have been pulled out of your epaulettes as if you have been pulled out of your soul, please remember that no matter when and where, remember that you, in the combat sequence of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, you, once served in the heroic troops, and you once fought with blood in places that people could not see.

That's a snippet that makes you proud.

Never, never forget that you were once a soldier of the People's Liberation Army of Chinese!

Sincerely

Salute.
