"I want to give you a simple test. You stand up, take ten steps back. Then bend down, turn around 20 times. Then go back to the chair and sit down. Can you do it?"

Li Linjie seemed to know what medicine was being sold in the officer's gourd, maybe he wanted to recruit pilots.

While he was thinking, he followed the officer's instructions, stood up, walked ten steps back, then bent down and started spinning in circles. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... He was spinning quickly on the spot.

It was okay at first, but more than half way through, the thick dizziness swept through his body like pouring water, and he could hardly stop on the twentieth lap.

When he grabbed his clothes with both hands and tried to straighten up, he staggered a few times and almost fell. At this moment, it seemed that he had not stopped spinning at all, and the whole room was still spinning uncontrollably.

His mind was blurred and he fainted, and he almost fell down several times. But he seemed to find the trick quickly! When he tried his best and looked at the chair with his eyes wide open, he was surprised to find that the chair seemed as stable as Mount Tai.

Staying where you are, not participating in this spinning world.

He concentrated on the few energy in his mind that was not spinning with the world, and tried his best to walk steadily towards the chair with every step. One step, two steps, three steps... He felt that time passed so long and long.

And so real.

Every muscle in the body seems to have lost its previous muscle memory and requires willpower to function normally.

After some struggle and stumbling, he finally returned to the chair.

The officer said calmly:

"Can I still continue the interview?"

Li Linjie had not completely recovered from his dizziness, so he just gritted his teeth and nodded.

The air force officer looked at the naval officer beside him.

The naval officer glanced at the page on the table in front of him and asked:

"In yesterday's test questions, you got full marks on the pan-military-related questions. Are you a military fan?"

This question aroused Li Linjie's interest and relieved his dizziness a lot. He replied:

"That's right! Ever since I was little, I have liked to read things in this area in my spare time and know some relevant knowledge."

The naval officer then asked:

"So do you long for war? Do you think war is romantic?"

This question made him somewhat unexpected. He took a shallow breath and shook his head slightly:

"Who can long for war? It is a real hell on earth, a killing field where blood and flesh are everywhere. There is no romance at all."

The spinning in his mind was not over yet. He paused, resisting the feeling of vomiting, and continued:

"When I was in college, I spent a lot of time looking for documentaries shot by foreign war correspondents. Those battles may not even be considered the lowest-intensity wars, but I have barely watched one in its entirety."

When he said this, a self-deprecating expression appeared on Li Linjie's face. And the officer who asked the question seemed to appreciate Li Linjie's answer.

"We, the so-called military fans, are actually just a bunch of deadbeats who talk on paper. Those who are serious about technical equipment parameters must see the real deal and don't hold back. Those soldiers who dare to charge in the hail of bullets,

They are the real warriors."

After listening to Li Linjie's calm answer, the interviewer had a somewhat surprised expression on his face, and a slight smile appeared on the director's face. The naval officer's tone was softer than before:

"Having said that, let's ask a question that you military fans are good at. You should be familiar with the Falklands War, right? Why did Britain win in the end?"

Li Linjie nodded and was secretly happy. The equipment he treasured so much had emerged like muscle memory, including Phantom, Sea Harrier, Conqueror nuclear submarine, A4 attack aircraft, Type 42 destroyer... But he was about to speak.

But he was speechless for a moment. After thinking for a moment, he said:

"I think the reason that determined Argentina's defeat and Britain's victory was the same, the will to fight. From the very beginning, Britain decided to fight this war with all its strength. They mobilized the whole country that day and dragged out bombers from the museum.

Send the prince to join the battle.

In the end, the Argentine Navy did not leave the military port, and fighter jets did not dare to enter the front line of Port Stanley. One side gambled on luck, and the other side tried its best. The final outcome was probably expected."

A rare smile appeared on the naval officer's face:

"Being able to think about problems from this perspective, it seems that you have accumulated and thought a lot in this area! However, the victory of a war is never determined by one or two factors, but a huge pyramid of all the tiny details.

.”

The air force officer continued:

"Take the question just now. In 1982, the training time of the British army was almost twice as long as that of the Afghan army. There are many such details. And we now need to tighten up every detail to face our future.

decisive battle."

The officer leaned forward and stared at Li Linjie with burning eyes:

"If you need to tense up every minute of the future to stand at the forefront, do you think you can do it?"

Li Linjie was a little confused again, and he heard every word of the officer clearly.

I originally wanted to answer "yes" without hesitation, but what flashed in my mind was the image of going to the army for military training when I entered college. The kind of life where I got up at 6 o'clock in the morning, trained intensively all day long, and turned off the lights on time at 9 o'clock in the evening.

It made him miserable.

And that's just military training level military camp life.

Like most people, he likes to watch the uniform steps during military parades, but it is difficult for him to accept the boring and long training behind the uniformity. Perhaps Li Linjie's silence was already an answer, and the officer stopped asking questions. In a low voice

I exchanged a few words with Director Guo.

The director said:

"We have verified your family information, and it is consistent with the information you filled out. Your parents died young and were fostered by relatives. Please introduce their basic situation."

Li Linjie came back to his senses from the question that had made him a little embarrassed. Although he had not had deep feelings for his uncle and aunt over the years, after all, they had funded him from childhood to college. Although, they

You may not have done it voluntarily:

"Uncle and aunt now open a non-staple food store in the town, barely making a living. My sister is in high school in the county and will take the college entrance examination next year. I haven't been able to help the family at all in the past few years, and I haven't sent anything.

The money goes back.”

He said this with a look of shame on his face. The director asked again:

"Do you live alone now or with a girlfriend or fiancée? How are your sister's grades?"

These two questions troubled her a little. He was slightly dull for a moment and said:

"My sister's grades are not very satisfactory. If she doesn't do well in the college entrance examination next year, she may repeat her studies. My uncle and aunt want her to leave the township, but my sister doesn't study too hard. Well...I live alone now, and I don't have any

girlfriend."

When he said the second half of the sentence, his voice had become significantly softer.

The director seemed to have read Li Linjie's thoughts and asked again:

"You have stayed in this city since you graduated from college. In your volunteer registration information, you stated that you are willing to serve anywhere. Are there no people or things in this city that you care about?"

Li Linjie's eyes were out of focus, and his thoughts were almost pulled into the whirlpool of memories. However, before those beautiful meetings from the past and the present appeared out of thin air again, he nodded forcefully and said:

"No."

The director made eye contact with the interviewers around him, and then motioned to the government worker who was taking notes. The woman held a form sandwiched between a writing pad and a pen and walked to Li Linjie and handed it to him.

The director said:

"This is the interview survey form for volunteer recruitment. Take a look at the contents, and if there are no questions, just sign below."

Then the director emphasized his tone:

"But what I need to remind you is that if you refuse to sign, then we will arrange you directly according to the B-level recruitment. If you sign, then we will arrange you according to the A-level recruitment after you pass the interview result."

Li Linjie looked at the contents of the table on the writing board and asked:

"How big is the difference between A-level recruitment and B-level recruitment?"

The director replied:

"To put it simply, if you are recruited to the A-level, you may face more rigorous training and professional training, and you may be sent to a more difficult environment to undertake more dangerous service tasks.

Accordingly, you and your immediate family will enjoy better preferential treatment. Of course, whether you can become a volunteer for the A-level recruitment depends on the final interview results and your various performances during the trial training period."

Hearing this, Li Linjie raised his eyes and looked at the director who still looked calm and asked hesitantly:

"Can you briefly tell me the specific benefits that can be enjoyed by the A-level recruits? If possible."

The director replied:

"Actually, our relevant content is briefly introduced in the "Volunteer Registration Instructions."

Hearing this, Li Linjie already regretted asking this stupid question. The director continued:

"When it comes to you specifically, I will give you a brief explanation. If you can become an A-level volunteer, your family will receive a richer supply of living supplies.

Your adoptive parents will not face recruitment above level C, which means they will not have to leave their hometown to work.

Your sister can also continue to study on campus. According to more crisis-era policies that are about to be introduced, if your sister cannot be admitted to a public university, she will not have the chance to repeat her studies. She will study professionally and then proceed directly.

Social production services.”

After listening to the director's brief introduction, I thought about my life in this city over the years after working.

Although his uncle and aunt don't have a good relationship with him, his sister who is a few years younger than him has regarded him as a real brother since childhood. If there is still contact with the family over the years, it is the sister who has admired him since childhood.

Thinking of this, he wrote his name neatly on the signature line, and then handed the writing board back to the staff member.

Seeing that Li Linjie had signed, the director closed the work notes on the table in front of him and said:

"Our interview is over. Now go back to your registration area and keep your phone open. We will notify you of the results within today. Once you pass the interview, you will be sent to the training base soon.

Start practical training and further inspection.”

Li Linjie stood up and politely thanked the interviewers, and then left the interview office with a mixed and uneasy mood.

When I went out, there were already three people waiting at the door of the office. At first glance, they were all young people of the same age as myself. They had strong bodies and bright eyes. They looked like they belonged to the urban elite.

Feeling déjà vu and looking at his decadent and decaying appearance, he felt a little discouraged. He sighed, lowered his head and silently left the recruitment center.
