On the playground of the military camp, soldiers of the Army Armored Division are undergoing high-intensity training. However, their training subjects are more inclined to the most basic training such as physical fitness during recruit training, weight-bearing long-distance running, cross-country, obstacles, and shooting. They originally

All the equipped main battle tanks have also been sealed.

From the soldiers to the officers, no one understands why the troops are conducting such training now, but their attitude towards the training is still as determined and serious as ever. Because each of them knows that in a few years, they will stand in a position to dominate themselves and mankind.

The course of history is determined at the crossroads of destiny.

But the scene in a barracks was completely incompatible with the bustling training ground.

Although Chu Yusheng is still wearing an olive green military uniform, the epaulettes on his shoulders have been removed. At the moment, he is leaning on the packed luggage, half lying on the wooden bed with only one wooden board left, humming a tune leisurely and enjoying

The warm winter sunshine shines through the window.

There was no nostalgia or reluctance in his eyes for the place where he had lived for two years, but only the excitement of being able to leave here.

Not long after, a man with the rank of captain walked in from the door. He held a few pages of paper in his hand and looked a little embarrassed. Although Chu Yusheng noticed his arrival, he had no intention of getting up from the bed to stand at attention and salute.

, he glanced sideways at the captain and said leisurely:

"How is it? Have I completed the discharge procedures? When will the car pick me up?"

The captain stood in front of the bed with a confused look on his face. He adjusted his mood several times before speaking:

"Yu Sheng, we have submitted your discharge report, and the regiment and division had originally approved it. But... the military region suddenly issued an order to stop all active-duty servicemen's applications for discharge. Your discharge may be

For the time being... we can’t do it for the time being.”

The comfort on Chu Yusheng's face was wiped away. He almost jumped up from the bare bed and stared at the captain with wide eyes:

"Brother! Are you kidding me? Didn't we all agree? My dad told me well and he has taken care of it. How can this..."

The more Zhu Yusheng talked, the more excited he became, and his whole face turned red. The captain sat next to him and put a hand on his shoulder to comfort him:

"You also know the current situation. We are facing such a serious crisis. The country, society and the military are all undergoing rapid adjustments. The orders are different every day. We are not in this situation..."

The captain was interrupted by Zhu Yusheng before he finished speaking:

"No, that's not what I said before! If I can't retire now, what should I do?"

His voice echoed in the empty barracks corridor. The captain patiently comforted him:

"Why don't you call your father and ask? There is really nothing we can do about the order we received."

Zhu Yusheng became even more excited, staring at the captain with wide eyes, and was about to roar hysterically. Another man came in at the door with the same rank of captain. The difference was that his eyes and face were filled with the unique look of a soldier.

of fortitude.

The appearance of this person made Zhu Yusheng's mood calm down a lot, and he even subconsciously stood at attention.

"What are you shouting for? Let others hear it. You are shameless and I want to do it again! Look at your cowardly look, you think I want to keep you here." After saying that, he turned around and left the dormitory.

Zhu Yusheng did not dare to speak and stood there with dull eyes. The captain smiled awkwardly and said:

"The order we have received now is not only to stop active duty military personnel from applying for retirement, but also to expand the number of personnel. Our company will expand its personnel by three to five times.

The next time will be very hard for everyone, and you also know the temper of the company commander. Why don't you contact your father again and ask him if there is anything he can do. The order we received really means there is nothing we can do."

In the cold wind late at night, a luxury business car parked at an inconspicuous location on a dimly lit city branch road. A small dining table in the car was layered with various seafood, among which was placed on the top.

A Boston lobster is particularly eye-catching.

Two people in the car sat opposite each other across a table of sumptuous delicacies. The ingredients on the table seemed particularly rare in the current environment, but neither of them seemed to have touched the ingredients. A man with a handsome figure looked at the other.

A man with gray hair and a somewhat fat figure said:

"Mr. Chu, are you coming to me in such a hurry in the middle of the night just to treat me to this seafood meal?"

Mr. Zhu smiled and put abalone in the man's bowl and said:

"I know you have been promoted to chief of staff and are busy with work. We two classmates have not seen each other for a long time. There is no restaurant outside now, but I managed to get this table. You like this too. Just treat it as my own.

Are you celebrating?"

After saying that, he put another spoonful of fish roe into the chief of staff's bowl. The chief of staff looked coldly at the fisherman in the bowl, which was shining like a black pearl and said:

"Huh... Lao Chu, if you have something to do, just tell me directly. There is no need to give me trouble. It is not good for people to see that you set up this big table in an emergency, and it should not be wasted in the first place.

.”

Mr. Chu had a proud look on his face:

"What's wrong with this? These are all seafood in my own freezer. Get together with your old classmates and eat your own food. It won't break any laws, so you can feel free to eat it."

The chief of staff still didn't take the chopsticks and sneered without saying anything. Mr. Zhu was a little embarrassed and hesitated for a moment before finally speaking:

"As you know, Yu Sheng is a soldier in your division. The two years have come and he has to retire. But I called today to say that the army has an order not to let veterans retire. You see, I am the only son.

I am getting old too. I still need him to take care of things at home. I just want to see if you can help me get him back from the army."

The chief of staff closed his eyes and took a deep breath:

"The order was indeed issued last week, the highest-level order. All active-duty soldiers have stopped applying for retirement, and the troops will be expanded. The number of combat troops will increase 5-10 times in three years."

Mr. Zhu still had the awkward smile on his face and continued to add other delicacies to the chief of staff’s plate:

"You are the chief of staff of a division, but you still have the right to let down a soldier next to you and retire."

The chief of staff smiled helplessly:

"Not to mention me, a small chief of staff of the division, even the commander of the military region probably does not have this power. The order is very clear. All active-duty soldiers will stop applying for retirement without exception.

Besides, I don’t need to say more about the current situation. When the order came down that day, I actually thought about Yu Sheng’s discharge from the army. But I didn’t call you. I thought you would be able to understand it under such circumstances.

.”

The awkward smile on Mr. Zhu's face was finally replaced by an expression of disappointment and melancholy. He put down his chopsticks and leaned on his seat in frustration:

"Old classmate, you also know that this child Yu Sheng is my son, and I am usually a bit arrogant towards him. I am just afraid that his virtue will cause big trouble in the future, so I want to let him train in the army.

Temperament, after you come out, you can follow me to run the business and take over the job later. Who knew that something like this would happen, hey..."

A look of disdain appeared on the chief of staff's face:

"According to me, even if there are no special circumstances like now. Your precious son should stay in the army for a few more years and get a good training. I assigned him to the combat unit of our division according to your wishes. I hope to use him

Strict discipline and a positive and energetic atmosphere brought him along, but what was the result?

He was confused and became the worst soldier in that company, and even the worst soldier in the entire division. His training subjects were not up to standard, and he paid his comrades to do his laundry and do housework. How could he look like a soldier? He returned to his place like this.

I predict........"

The Chief of Staff suddenly stopped mid-sentence, and Mr. Zhu looked at the Chief of Staff in astonishment, as if he already knew what he was going to say next. The Chief of Staff paused for a moment and continued:

"Besides, Lao Chu, we have been classmates for many years, and we have a pretty good relationship when we were in school. I know what you are most worried about, and I will tell you the truth. The enemies we face this time are completely different from the enemies we faced in previous battles.

no the same.

They are here with the goal of annihilating the species. In the decisive battle, there will be no front or rear at all. When the time comes, the probability of survival of well-equipped and well-trained soldiers will probably not be lower than that of civilians with improvised weapons, right?"

Mr. Zhu did not speak, and the melancholy on his face deepened. The chief of staff glanced at the table full of seafood delicacies and then said:

"I've also heard that you hired a construction team to dig an underground shelter in your hometown. I won't analyze whether your things are useful. Even if they are useful, you and your family can hide in there.

Year, when everyone else comes out and no one else comes out, what's the point of hiding there?

Lao Chu, as an old classmate, I would like to remind you that what we are about to face is not a test for a certain group of people. It is a test for everyone on the earth, and no one can escape it.

If we want to continue to survive on this planet we are familiar with, everyone must be of one mind, do you understand?"

The tone of the last few words of the chief of staff was particularly solemn, and these words hit Zhu Zong's nerves like an iron fist. He slumped in his chair and could not speak, but looked at him with despair and fear.

Chief of Staff. The Chief of Staff stood up and walked to the door. When he opened the door, he said again:

"If you really want your son to be good, you should persuade him to do what he should do in the army. Only when everyone desperately wants to win and survive will we be able to survive in the doomsday battle in the future.

Escape from death. Otherwise, I'm afraid everything will be like getting water from a bamboo basket."

After speaking, the chief of staff opened the door and left the luxury business car, leaving only Mr. Chu who was still dazed in his chair and the table of almost untouched seafood dinner.
