Chapter 168: The Island

The huge wave caused by the J-20B has not completely subsided, and soon after, a piece of news appeared like a giant hand, completely overturning the entire public opinion.

"The U.S. F-35 project has entered a critical period, and the STOVL fighter family may add another member."

There is no doubt that this news was released by Li Xiang's department.

But it is full of details and evidence, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is true.

As a result, those who originally shouted that "J-20B" was useless completely lost their voices.

Mei Dad slapped himself in the face, what else could he do?

I said it was useless before, it turned out that it was just a fool.

It's a pity that 611 was not fooled in, but the friendly troops were fooled in.

Now that the situation is clear, even the banana people feel a kind of anger.

Even if you are a dog, you don't have to be like that!

At least when you bite, you have to tell me the real target, right?

You can't point to a tail and say it's a mouse, and when I bite it, I find out it's actually a lion.

In this case, public opinion has a rare appearance of peace and cleanliness that should not have occurred in this era.

Those so-called public intellectuals have all disappeared, and it seems that they intend to put their tails between their tails and become people before this turmoil passes.

But just when public opinion is turbulent, in another place, a different storm has also arisen.

An island in the sea.

Wu Weirong was an ordinary island defender who was stationed on a small island in the sea.

It's still a bit of a distance from the really sensitive area, so it's mostly calm.

His daily life was to patrol the surrounding islands with his comrades, and then return to the island where the largest station is located, to light a fire, cook, rest and stand guard.

Life is boring and boring, but what is even more difficult to endure is the harsh conditions.

Although it is said to be an island, in reality, it is just a reef that barely sticks out of the water.

Once the tide rises, the tide can even reach people's waists.

So, in such a situation, it is simply impossible to build a real "base", all they can do is lay the foundation on top of the reef and erect the proposed shed.

Just like this tin house where he is now.

After entering the hot weather at sea, the iron sheet will absorb a lot of heat, and then the heat will be conducted indoors by heat conduction, which makes the temperature in the iron sheet house continue to rise, and even exceed 60 degrees Celsius in some cases.

Wu Weirong often resists walking into the shack in his heart, because once he enters, it is like entering an oven with a very high temperature, and if he stays here for a long time, he will even have the risk of suffocation.

When he first arrived, he fainted in the shack several times due to heat stroke, but fortunately there were other comrades-in-arms nearby, so it did not cause a somewhat ridiculous "non-combat attrition" in his opinion.

This is true when it is hot, and when a typhoon comes, everything is different.

He still remembers the first time he faced a typhoon.

At that time, there was only a black space between heaven and earth, and standing on the sea, you could not see the so-called spectacular scene of black clouds pressing down on the city and turbulent waves.

In front of you, there is only a hurricane that is so violent that you can't open your eyes, and the rain that keeps slapping on your face like bullets.

The roof of the tin house was overturned, and they only held on to the support pillars and held on to the wind for hours before the storm finally passed.

Everyone was exhausted, but they had to get up and strengthen the hut at once.

Otherwise, when the next hurricane comes, they will all be swept to the bottom of the sea.

It was on such a day that Wu Rongwei had the idea of wanting to leave several times.

After all, he is not a saint, he also has his own family, and he also has his own ideals.

But in the end, he stayed.

The reason is simple, he doesn't know if his new comrades will be able to hold on if he leaves.

There can be no one here.

The monkeys on the other side are eyeing each other, and if they do go, their dilapidated sand dredging boats will rush up and immediately claim the place for themselves.

When the time comes, once you lose it, it will be difficult to get it back.

Thinking of this, Wu Rongwei sighed, climbed down from the stilt house and stepped into the dinghy, ready to start his day's inspection.

The comrade-in-arms with him is called Li Yonglai, who is also a veteran, compared to him, Li Yonglai's personality is much more irritable, and of course, he is much more optimistic.

Seeing Wu Rongwei on the boat, Li Yonglai said happily:

"Yo, today's movements are quite sharp, enough rest?"

Wu Rongwei rolled his eyes and replied:

"I want to rest, can I stay in that room? I'm going to get ready if I stay in it any longer. ”

"Alright, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and get out of the boat."

"Yesterday I saw that the Vietnamese monkeys came again, as if they were building an island, so I went and drove them away."

"It's like a fly every day, if only one guy could shoot them to death"

Li Yonglai put the gun in his hand on his back, and said while pulling the engine:

"Don't be so irritable day by day, we can't have a big conflict now, it's not a question of whether we can fight or not, the main thing is that once we fight, it won't end well."

"The state put us here to do things, not to cause trouble."

"Got it, got it."

Wu Rongwei interrupted Li Yonglai's nagging with a little impatience, and then said angrily:

"You say I'm grumpy? The last time you ran into them over there, you almost got your gun out. ”

"I'll at least hit them with rocks later, and I'll go over and chase them down to touch a few rocks by the way, and there's not much ammunition."

Unable to use thermal weapons, they had very limited means of attacking on the surface of the sea, and they did not have high-pressure water cannons, so they had to go underwater to feel for stones.

And most of the time, the stones are brought by the other party.

They kept trying to reclaim the island, bringing in boatloads of sediment and stones, which in turn became Wu Rongwei's weapon to expel them.

To some extent, a virtuous circle has been formed.

"You take it easy, don't hurt yourself, last time the stone was so hung on your head, if I hadn't pushed it away for you, it is estimated that you would at least have a second-class merit."

"Heh, second-class merit, I'll at least make a first-class merit"

"What the hell are you talking about? Hurry up and get rid of it! ”

Li Yonglai glared at Wu Rongwei angrily, and the latter snorted helplessly and said:

"What age are you, and you're still so superstitious"

Li Yonglai didn't pay any attention to him, and the dinghy went all the way forward, and soon reached the first inspection point.

It was still far from the area where the other party had built an island, so it was always calm, and Li Yonglai got off the boat and checked the markings on the reef, and then returned to the boat and continued to move forward.

Next, the second and third patrol points are also normal.

It wasn't until they reached the fourth reef that the unexpected happened.

A sand dredging boat is docked in the distance, and two monkeys dressed as fishermen are laboriously beating the flag on the reef.

Wu Rongwei's eyes widened angrily, he hurriedly asked Li Yonglai to speed up, and then shouted at the two of them:

"Fuck off! I don't care about you! ”

The person on the other side heard his shout, but had no intention of stopping.

They are faster, the flagpole made of metal has been knocked a little crooked by them, give them a few more minutes, and they will really let them down!

"Damn, these monkeys are getting bolder, Lao Li, lean up, damn it, I have to kill them!"

At this time, Li Yonglai, who was still persuading Wu Rongwei not to be impulsive, had already lost his temper, he moved the joystick violently, and the dinghy turned at an astonishing angle, skillfully bypassing the reef on the water, and sailing towards the small island and reef.

Wu Rongwei bent down, picked up the stone that had been prepared long ago from the cabin, held it on his shoulder, and continued to shout at the other side.

"Get out! Get out! ”

However, the two people on the opposite side always turned a deaf ear, until the dinghy was about to approach, as the man on the island and reef slammed down, the entire metal flagpole was actually broken by them and put down in the sea!

The red flag was swallowed by the clear blue water, Li Yonglai's eyes were split, he shouted "", threw away the joystick and jumped into the water.

At this time, the dinghy could no longer approach quickly, and Wu Rongwei stood firm and threw stones to the opposite side with all his might.

But in the rocking boat, his strength and accuracy were extremely limited, and the stone did not even come close to them before falling directly into the sea.

"!"

Wu Rongwei followed and scolded.

He glanced at the cabin, and there were only four or five stones left in it, and even if he threw them all, he was afraid that he would not be able to hit a single person.

But at this time, he didn't care so much.

While desperately trying to stabilize the rocking boat, he kept picking up stones and throwing them out, and the opposite side also began to fight back with stones, but their target was not Wu Rongwei, but Li Yonglai, who was still in the water!

"Lao Li! Be careful! ”

Compared to Wu Rongwei standing on the boat, the monkeys standing on the reef were obviously better on the spot, and after only a few losses, a stone hit Li Yonglai's left arm, and then flew into the water, splashing a splash.

Li Yonglai's movements were obviously paused, and Wu Rongwei anxiously steered the dinghy, trying to continue to get closer.

But the dense reef hindered his movements, and he longed to swim through the water like Li Yonglai, but if he delayed too long and the boat was pushed away by the waves, then the two of them would be trapped here and die.

What to do?!

Wu Rongwei was so anxious that he wanted to slap himself, but the good news was that Li Yonglai's movements were not affected, he was already extremely close to the island and reef, and he was only a few steps away from being able to climb up.

And the stones in the other party's hands had also been exhausted, and they did not dare to clash head-on with Li Yonglai, so they had already hurriedly begun to pack up their things and prepare to retreat.

"Holy shit, I still want to run!"

Li Yonglai let out a loud shout, his foot finally stepped on the solid reef, and regardless of the sharp pain of the sole of his shoe being pierced, he stepped out and slammed into the water.

The two monkeys on the opposite side were so frightened by him that they wanted to run away, but they hesitated to dive into the water.

Wu Rongwei in the distance breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this time, there should be a thrilling ending.

As long as they can get rid of them, getting a little injured is nothing to Lao Li.

However, this thought had just flashed through his mind, and in the next second, a sudden change occurred.

One of the monkeys had already jumped into the water, but the other remained in place.

Facing Li Yonglai, who stepped forward, he didn't know where he got the courage from, so he actually picked up the broken flagpole and swung it at Li Yonglai.

The heavy iron rod slammed into Li Yonglai's head, and he paused and fell on his back on the water.

Wu Rongwei's hair stood on end, and he let out a hoarse roar:

"Lao Li!!"

Soon after, news from the sea reached Chen Nian's ears.

He sat at Chen Guo's desk and was silent for a long time.

Then he slammed the table, stood up, and said:

"Fuck! Build an island! ”
