Chapter 1136: Friends Meet Again

"At ease, stand at attention~!"

"Report to Comrade ***, all personnel have assembled, please give instructions~!"

On the temporary ceremonial platform, the chief and political commissar of the military sub-district turned their eyes to the commander who came to report.

The chief of the military sub-district stood up to return the salute, then patted the microphone with a long wire in front of him. Suddenly, a crackling sound, accompanied by a huge speaker, resounded all around.

"Please take a moment~!"

"Yes~!"

After returning the salute, the commander trotted to the front of the team and looked with a sharp gaze at the more than 1,000 recruits present, as well as the officers in charge of receiving the recruits and the squad leaders.

After taking a deep breath, his loud voice was instantly heard clearly by more than a thousand people.

"At ease~!"

"Swish, swish, swish~!"

Standing in front of their luggage, the recruits stretched out their right feet in an orderly manner. The smarter ones, seeing this posture, immediately adjusted their body's center of gravity and chose a more comfortable posture.

Meetings, especially large conferences, never last short. Experienced people already know what skills they should use depending on the situation.

"Ahem, I am the head of the Beijing Military Sub-district, ***. Good afternoon to all the young people who have enlisted this year, the new recruits, and the comrades of the receiving troops~!"

“Pah~Pah~Hua La La~!”

The majestic voice was transmitted to the entire audience through the microphone. The commander began to applaud, followed by the officers, then the perceptive squad leader, and finally the recruits who were slow to realize the situation.

"According to the conscription order, under the leadership of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, through the joint efforts of the Party Committees at all levels, the government, the military service agencies and the People's Armed Forces Department, as well as all the recruiting cadres, our city's conscription work has successfully completed the task of recruiting new soldiers this autumn~!"

"On behalf of the Beijing Military Sub-district, I would like to extend my warm congratulations to all the young people and new recruits who have been approved to join the army. I warmly welcome all comrades to join the big family of the army~!"

"Youth has devoted itself to national defense without regrets, and is determined to strengthen the army and temper it into steel. To join this big family and collective, you must first have revolutionary enthusiasm, improve your awareness of socialism and GCism, carry forward the glorious traditions of our army, raise the red flag of Communism higher, and give full play to the role of military organizations~!"

The leader said a lot, and while taking a breath, he glanced down, as if he was looking at every recruit.

Each of the soldiers in the audience has undergone rigorous screening. It can be said that they have passed through layers of checkpoints before coming here and being able to hear this speech.

This is the contribution of the people of the capital to the army. It is the seeds that have been sown one by one, representing not only their own individuals, but also the face of the capital.

It is like this every year, but every year, the people who stop here for a while and then rush to various parts of the motherland are different.

Whether this speech is necessary or not is no longer important. What is important is that the spirit of this meeting must be conveyed.

Those who can get here are the lucky ones who are carefully selected. Although not as exaggerated as college students, at present, those who can be recruited into the army can also be called lucky ones.

There is a saying that goes, now that you are here, you occupy this position and no one else can come in. Since you came here on your own initiative, then say goodbye to your past and your family. You cannot occupy a position but fail to contribute to the army.

Instead of having a soldier like you, it is better to leave this position to others who are more willing to join. At least, they will work harder and pursue progress more than you.

These words are both encouragement and spur. If you are not selected, everything will be fine. You may face the situation of being discharged from the army.

Physical problems can be treated by the army, but mental problems cannot be solved simply by going to the hospital.

When you come here, it may be a glorious time, but if you are sent back by the local authorities due to ideological problems, your life will be nailed to the pillar of shame. If you are sneaky, don't want to participate in training, or even refuse to participate, you may face serious consequences.

This was the chief's speech, which was completely from the perspective of a military commander. He conveyed the rules of the army to all the recruits present through the meeting. It can be said that he made the ugly remarks in advance.

Come, we welcome you to join us, but before coming, you'd better be prepared to endure hardships. This is not a school, this is an iron military camp, a place that tempers people into steel.

"Wow~!"

"What's that saying?"

After listening for a long time, Li Nan in the team below the stage was absent-minded and really couldn't understand what was being said.

On one side, there was his brother on the stage, and on the other side, he listened to the leader's speech completely, but his brain did not try to take it in at all. When the leader was speaking, he certainly could not speak, so Li Nan took advantage of the gap between applause to ask Ke Minmin beside him.

She was completely confused by the applause.

"I didn't hear it clearly, but it seemed like if it was returned, the problem would be very serious~!"

Ke Minmin, who was standing by, was even more timid at this time. She was extremely introverted and was forced by her family to join the army. When she heard about what would happen if she was sent back, she immediately thought of herself and her face turned pale.

Because he was about to violate discipline and make small moves with Li Nan, his face turned red. After he said this, he was reminded by Liu Feng who was standing in front of them.

"Silence~!"

The army may change but the camp remains the same. Liu Feng had experienced what he was experiencing before. However, only after he entered the army and gained a deep understanding of the army's rules, did he realize that what the leaders on the stage said was too light and that it was the local way of handling things.

Some things, if not weighed, are not very heavy, but once weighed, they cannot be weighed down even with a thousand pounds. Only those who have experienced this speech can deeply appreciate the good intentions of the military sub-district.

However, thinking of the conversation between the two little guys behind him, Liu Feng was speechless. He couldn't remember whether he was the same as them at the beginning.

I'm afraid that people will only feel pain when the whip hits their body~!

Thinking this in his heart, Liu Feng still applauded when it was time to applaud. No matter whether it was the leader, the political commissar, or anyone else, their eyes slowly moved to the left on the ceremonial platform and then stopped at the right corner.

There, he seemed to see a familiar face. At this distance, neither far nor near, he wondered if he noticed him, this "friend" whom he had only met once.

Liu Feng seemed to have prepared himself mentally for the meeting with Li Feng. He looked very calm. He did not avoid Li Feng, nor did he stand behind Secretary Guo. He just glanced at him out of the corner of his eye.

The two comrades who were sent to the front line were all the work of that young man. To be precise, it was the huge, overwhelming influence brought by the visiting delegation that made Political Commissar Ning make the decision so quickly, right?

After seeing with his own eyes the people he was serving, Liu Feng once secretly wondered if they had gone to another unit, would the punishment for those two people be lighter? At least, they would not be "exiled to the frontier"?
The art troupe has changed recently and has become busier. It has arranged various performances, such as consolation performances at border outposts, veterans' galas, etc.

Those comrades who used to stay at the Cultural Troupe’s base to rehearse, train, and wait for performance invitations when they had nothing to do are now rarely seen.

I was either climbing on ice or lying in the snow, or falling asleep in the truck on the way back. It was very fulfilling. I skipped the training and started training on the stage with the sky as the curtain and the ground as the stage. It was really challenging.

But this situation has also received positive responses, whether it is the banners hanging on the walls in the training hall or the local specialties brought back.

The bored border guards were very happy about the arrival of the art troupe team, even if there were no outstanding programs, as long as people were there.

The arrival of the art troupe proved that no one had forgotten them, and the troops still knew that there was such a group of people silently guarding the border.

Everything seemed to have happened just yesterday. In fact, the changes began gradually after the incident that night.

"No one of those young soldiers is making a fuss anymore. I have to thank you for all this~!"

Pursing his lips tightly, Liu Feng still thought that this was the best result. No friend found the cockroach, which caused the person who went on stage later to make a fool of himself.

That was a bolt from the blue for everyone in the art troupe, including Liu Feng who was on the business trip with them. It was a team that was doing their job faithfully, but one or two individuals were the ones who held them back.

They apologized, but for the art troupe and the people who were on business trips that day, it would be a lifelong regret.

Li Feng on the stage seemed to have received Liu Feng's gaze from the audience. When the leader was speaking, he slightly turned his head and looked in his direction.

Liu Feng noticed it. After all, he had been keeping an eye on the youngest officer on the stage.

Seeing his eyes looking over here, she bravely looked into his eyes, and only nodded vigorously after seeing the other party nod slightly.

If the opportunity was right, Liu Feng might salute. After all, it could be said that he saved the art troupe, and the reason he was sent to the capital to recruit soldiers was most likely because of his friend.

There is no such word as "friend". According to his age, it is not his turn to come to the capital. There are so many people in the regiment who want to come, but Political Commissar Ning let him come.

You may have guessed that we will meet on the territory of the military sub-district~!

People didn't hold grudges and left the song "Military Bugle" to the regiment. Political Commissar Ning was probably grateful for it. This was Liu Feng's guess at the moment.

As for Li Nan behind Liu Feng, he was very happy at this moment, thinking in his heart -

My brother finally saw me...
