Ballistic Silence of Special Years

Chapter 569
"The following announces the list of first-class meritorious personnel: D Group Army Tiger Brigade Special Reconnaissance Battalion, First Class Soldier, Comrade Li Zheng..."

Jiang Ziming, Director of the Political Department of the brigade, finished reading Li Zheng's meritorious service order, raised his head and turned his eyes to the audience.

"Lee, please come to the stage to receive the award."

On the playground of Luda University, Li Zheng stood up in a camouflage uniform. Amid warm applause, he walked steadily to the rostrum, stood in front of the head of the brigade, and then saluted.

Jiang Ziming, Director of the Political Department, stepped forward and pinned a first-class merit medal on Li Zheng's chest, and the soldier presented him with a certificate of honor.

Li Zheng saluted and thanked, then turned around and saluted thousands of officers and soldiers in the audience.

There was a tide-like sound from the audience again, especially those recruits, whose eyes were shining and their palms were flushed red.

Private Li Zheng is simply their idol.

Li Zheng, who was on the stage, looked at the black crew cuts below the stage, and his heart was surging.

Two years ago, I was also one of the members sitting below. At that time, I watched the veterans come to the stage to receive awards. At that time, I felt that I was satisfied with the third-class meritorious service in two years.

It's just that two years have passed, and due to fate, this is already the second time I have achieved first-class merit.

For a corporal, it is a miracle, and it is rare in the PLA sequence.

Because of this, he had to face the issue of retiring from the army again.

After returning from country H, Li Zheng still had nearly four months to wait for the discharge season in August.

Due to Li Zheng's particularity, it was not easy to arrange any work in the platoon, so he was appointed as the deputy squad leader of the first class, responsible for assisting the squad leader and platoon leader in the daily training of the platoon.

After Hou Jun came back from country H, he had already started to make up for cultural lessons, because his order to be promoted had been issued, and he was going to college for further studies, so most of the work in the platoon was in charge of Li Qiman.

Li Zheng is a rare top person, a top figure among snipers. Let alone the military area, the whole army knows that the Tiger Brigade has a talented sniper, and he has already won several single-subject champions in international sniper competitions as a first-class soldier. He won the team championship with his teammates.

Moreover, everyone knows that his name is Li Zheng.

Li Zheng delayed his discharge before, so he was going to leave after all. He did not enter the military academy, nor signed a non-commissioned officer contract. He only had a few months left in his military career. Just like all soldiers who are about to retire, the cadres treated him politely. When the recruits see them, they must stop, stand at attention and call out "squad leader".

Everyone has their own opinions on the matter of Li Zheng's discharge from the army.

The group army meant to try their best to keep him, and with Li Zheng's conditions, it was a very easy job to ask him to do the ideological work and keep this talent.

Most of the heads of the brigade also think so, what is the most important thing in the 21st century?

talent!
But Zhuang Yan didn't seem nervous at all. Jiang Ziming, the director of the political department, went to the company twice, saying that he was preparing for this year's veterans' discharge, but in fact, he came down to silently see if there was any room for him to stay.

To Jiang Ziming's disappointment, Li Zheng never let go.

He could tell that Li Zheng liked the army very much, but it was rooted in his grandma.

There is only one elderly grandma left in his family, his father is the only son, and his parents died unexpectedly early. He is the only immediate family member left. If he stays in the army, especially the special forces, he will definitely not have so much time to take care of his grandma in the future. It's good to go home once, but when you encounter a mission, you often can't go back once in two years.

Jiang Ziming felt quite embarrassed after hearing this.

He couldn't ask Li Zheng to let go of his family affection and stay and dedicate his youth just because the Tiger Brigade lacked this talent. With so much effort, it can be regarded as winning honor for the Tiger Brigade and making great contributions.

If Li Zhengqiang is really kept in the future, grandma will have some regrets. As the director, I am afraid that my conscience will be disturbed for the rest of my life.

After returning from Yilian, Jiang Ziming thought for a long time, and finally went to find Zhuangyan.

When I arrived at Zhuangyan's office, Zhuangyan watched the data and demonstration videos of the new equipment on the computer. The brigade commander has been obsessed with these things recently.

In his words, the three-year construction period is not only about adapting tactics and training, but also completely changing equipment. One is software and the other is hardware. Both are indispensable.

"Hey! What's the matter with our big director coming to see me?"

Zhuang Yan got up and asked the civil servants to go out, and poured water for Jiang Ziming himself. After serving in the army for so many years, he still didn't like the feeling of being served by others. Maybe this is also a common problem of being an old special forces commander. Hypocritical.

Jiang Ziming took the water glass and immediately let out a long sigh, shook his head and said: "I said brigade commander, I have been a special detective for the past few days and have run twice in a row. I think you know why, but now I also met It's a problem."

Smiling solemnly, he sat down opposite him, and said, "Needless to say, I know you are worried about Li Zheng's discharge from the army. I persuaded you to stay because I was afraid that he would not be filial. If you don't persuade me, I feel sorry. Am I right? "

Jiang Ziming took a sip of tea, put down his teacup and said, "Yes! You already know, so I won't talk about it. I'm also very conflicted now. I also want to hear your opinion when I come here. If possible, we can Create some conditions for Li Zhenghe to let him stay, such as suggesting that he take his grandma to the army, we can provide housing, are you afraid that he will not be able to take care of him in the army?"

Zhuang Yan said: "If it really works, you, Director Jiang, probably won't come to me. Fallen leaves return to their roots, this is the traditional thinking of Chinese elders. Do you think people are willing to leave their hometown where they have lived for decades and come to a strange army? Living here? There are no friends or relatives here, and the neighbors are all family members of the army. Whether we can talk to each other is a problem. What's more, the reason for the longevity of the elderly is not only to have enough food, clothing, warmth and housing, but spiritual care is especially important. .After Li Zheng goes back, he wants to keep graduate school. In the future, he will stay in the school as a teacher after graduation. He will take care of his family twice a year. Is it better than our soldiers? He majored in law, and this major is first in income The school is very good. While working as a teacher in a college, and working part-time as a consultant for a company, it is not comparable to our income. What's more, he is half a year away from graduating from university. Now you let him give up the hard work he got in the past. Everything, can he not hesitate?"

"Brigade Commander, are you talking about income so vulgarly?" Jiang Ziming teased.

Zhuang Yan said: "How can we not talk about it? Dedication is of course advocated, but we can't force others to sacrifice and dedicate, that kind of spirit should be spontaneous. If we force Li Zheng to stay, he will have a knot in the future, and instead It hurt him."

Jiang Ziming nodded, tacitly acquiescing that what Zhuang Yan said made sense.

"Oh, is it true that there is no turning point at all?"

Zhuang Yan smiled: "How could there be no turning point? Let me tell you, Li Zheng, this kid, I have an intuition that he is still inseparable from the army. Although family affection is his fetter, sometimes people are very complicated. If you fall in love with one kind of life and adapt to another life in this life, you may not feel at ease."

Jiang Ziming's eyes brightened slightly: "You mean he won't be discharged?"

Solemnly said: "Can't you come back after you leave the army?"

Jiang Ziming was slightly taken aback.

Zhuang Yan went on to say: "If he is admitted to graduate school, he will be a master's degree. With his resume, we can apply to the superior for special recruitment."

Jiang Ziming's tightly locked brows loosened all of a sudden, and his expression suddenly became joyful.

"You mean to recruit him in the future?"

Zhuang Yan said: "It depends on what he thinks, whether he is willing to return to the army, so after retiring from the army, we still need to keep in touch with him, in case he figured it out by himself one day?"

Of course, Li Zheng didn't know about the conversation between Zhuang Yan and Jiang Ziming.

Li Zheng's heart was in a mess right now, to go, or not to go?

He has grown up so much, he has never tried to hesitate like now.

Occasionally, he would secretly take out the two first-class merit medals and the second-class merit medal, and find a quiet place to secretly look at them for a long time.

Although there are only three medals, they have extraordinary significance. When holding them, Li Zheng always feels an indescribable sense of honor. It is his own brilliance, the brilliance of a soldier. Deprived of many things, youth, money, and even life, but this honor that belongs to him will never be taken away.

Originally, I was discharged from the army like this. Two first-class meritorious service and one second-class meritorious service were scary enough.

Unexpectedly, a sudden incident made him once again break the Tiger Brigade's personal meritorious service record.
