An island in the south, navy, brigade training ground.
On the deck of an old-model landing craft, Fatty Wei, who had the rank of major, held a stopwatch in his hand, looking at the sea surface and the time on the watch.
Although it is already autumn, the weather on the island is still hot.
Fatty Wei is now the battalion commander. He went abroad for exchanges and joint training with foreign troops a few years ago. Because he completed the task well, he also received second-class merit. The Armed Forces Department beat gongs and drums to deliver good news of meritorious service to the village.
, there were crowds of people along the way, and the villagers stopped and looked sideways and talked about it, which can be regarded as a lot of face.
In the words of Fatty Wei, if you go to the ancestral hall in the future and die, your descendants will go to the ancestral hall every year to offer incense, and their ghosts will eat the incense from the first pillar.
Fatty Wei, the village elder, was so happy that he set up two hundred tables of running water mats in the village and fed him for three days and three nights.
Serving as a soldier means I have no regrets.
Of course, you can't compare with Li Zheng, who is a monster.
"This speed is not good..."
Fatty Wei walked to the side of the boat and stared at the water.
These are the soldiers selected into the Jiaolong Commando Team. This is new training.
Underwater escape subjects have been trained for some time.
Fatty Wei came over today to see how they were progressing.
Wow——
Finally, someone surfaced and began to turn around to free himself from the rope tied to his hands.
Then, more and more soldiers surfaced.
Fatty Wei stood up and turned back to the deputy company commander who was in charge of the new training: "This result is still far away. You have been practicing for half a month and you have achieved something like this? Can you give me a subject report card at the end of the month?"
, let me see, if you are not suitable to stay here, then transfer to another company."
Just as he finished speaking, the phone rang in his trouser pocket.
I took it out and saw that it was Li Zheng's number.
"Oh, old comrade, why are you calling me at this time? Don't you have to be busy? Now you are the real leader. Not to mention that there are always many opportunities to deal with, right? Why are you calling me at this time when you have time?"
Fatty Wei opened his mouth with all kinds of ridicule.
He is used to having a big mouth. Over the years, even after becoming a battalion commander, this problem with his mouth has not changed at all.
But it’s okay if it doesn’t change.
If he changes, he will no longer be Fatty Wei.
"Fat man, guess where I am now?"
Li Zheng's somewhat mysterious rhetorical question came from the other end.
"Come on, I'm still guessing." Fatty Wei looked at his watch and said, "Your district operations director is either in the Joint Staff Headquarters or in the army below..."
As he said this, he suddenly remembered something. A hint of surprise flashed in Fatty Wei's eyes, and his head quickly turned towards the dock.
"You shouldn't have come to our navy, right?!"
"You're really right." Li Zheng said with a smile: "I asked your brigade commander where you were, and he sent someone to your camp. When I asked, he said he was going to check the new training. Come back quickly.
Come on! We haven’t seen each other for several years!”
Fatty Wei immediately became excited.
It's true that I haven't seen him in several years.
The last time we met was when Li Zheng got married, and Fatty Wei took a special leave to come.
Everyone was very busy after that.
Li Zheng spent these years either studying or practicing.
And Fatty Wei is either organizing training, escorting, or going out for joint training.
That's what soldiers do.
Especially officers of the special forces like Fatty Wei have a lot going on all year round, and sometimes they can't tell where they are going.
Fortunately, my father, who had been a soldier, also understood. People in the village teased his father that having a son meant having no son, and the son was handed over to the country.
His father replied very righteously and said that you know nothing! You are stupid to have a baby, so you stay with Cheng Huan, and the good ones are handed over to the country to protect the country! You can't give birth to such a good baby!
Hearing that Li Zheng had come to Jiaolong's side, Fatty Wei couldn't sit still at all.
"Just wait, I'll be right back! Give me fifteen minutes!"
After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone and said directly to the deputy company commander: "I want to go back. I will drive the rubber boat away first. I will have someone drive it back to you later!"
After finishing speaking, I couldn't help but ran to the side of the boat. Without taking the gangway, I jumped out of the rubber boat. I started the motor myself, grabbed the handle and turned it to the bottom with oil. The motor roared, and more than a meter of water splashed up from the back of the rubber boat.
The high spray of water rushed toward the shore like an arrow, leaving only the deputy company commander who was stunned and unresponsive standing there like a log.
It is simply rare, let alone rare, for the battalion commander to be so excited.
The training location was a bay, an inner bay, so it was not far from the base. Fatty Wei drove his rubber boat back to the base dock in less than fifteen minutes.
After getting to the pier, I jumped into the car, stepped on the accelerator and rushed to the brigade headquarters.
Not long after we started driving, before leaving the training base, I suddenly noticed a few soldiers wearing uniforms, white armed belts, helmets, and white gloves appearing on the roadside.
"Picketing! Damn it!"
Fatty Wei looked at the speedometer and immediately knew it was over.
There is a speed limit in the campground.
I was in a hurry to see Li Zheng, but I didn't pay attention and actually speeded.
He quickly stopped the car, opened the door and got out of the car, and quickly explained: "I'm sorry, comrades on the pickets, I have something urgent to rush to the brigade headquarters, and I accidentally exceeded the speed limit. Can you be considerate and considerate? I will pay attention next time!"
"
"What's the number written on that sign?"
The leader of the picket team was a second lieutenant, one less than Fatty Wei, but his momentum was not inferior.
Fatty Wei suppressed his temper, looked at the sign and said, "The speed limit is 20 kilometers. But..."
"Nothing is wrong."
The second lieutenant stretched out his hand.
"Military ID."
Fatty Wei said with a bitter face: "Comrade, I am the commander of the first battalion of the special operations brigade. There is a commander waiting for me at the brigade headquarters. He wants me to go over and meet him immediately. Can't you be accommodating?"
The second lieutenant had a ruthless attitude: "Comrade major, please show your military officer ID and obey the picket!"
Fatty Wei saw that he had no need to talk about human relations.
These pickets are affiliated with the base. When you are on duty, you will not recognize your relatives. If you reveal your identity, they will not look after you.
Come to think of it, I can't continue to talk nonsense to them here. Just register when you register, report when you report, and criticize when you criticize.
Thinking that his majestic special operations brigade battalion commander had fallen into the hands of these new recruits, Fatty Wei felt indignant, but he still took out his military officer's ID card and handed it over.
The second lieutenant took the officer's ID card and began to record Fatty Wei's information in his duty logbook, doing so seriously and carefully.
Fatty Wei was getting angry: "Can I hurry up?"
The second lieutenant looked up at him and said, "We have our own procedures when on duty. If you have any problems, you can complain."
After saying that, he just ignored Fatty Wei.
Fatty Wei spun around in circles impatiently, muttering: "Damn, no wonder you guys leave early every year when you retire..."
"What did you say?" The second lieutenant's ears flashed, and he seemed to hear something.
Fatty Wei glanced at him and said angrily: "I said you guys are really good soldiers. As your battalion commander, I must be reluctant to let you retire. How dare you do it."
The second lieutenant knew what he meant, but being a picket was a job that offended people, and he had heard this kind of thing too many times.
Soon, he registered Fatty Wei's information and handed back his military ID card to Fatty Wei: "Comrade Major, remember not to speed."
"Okay! Thank you!"
Fatty Wei looked at his watch.
It's been more than fifteen minutes.
I was so annoyed that I had to drive slowly when I got in the car. The speed limit was 20 kilometers per hour. If I accidentally exceeded the speed limit, I could only lightly step on the accelerator and drive forward. Not to mention I was very angry.
