Ballistic Silence of Special Years

Chapter 502 Double First Class

On the third floor, stop in front of a door with a small meeting room nameplate.

The officer leading the way knocked on the door, and there was a voice that surprised both Li Zheng and Hou Jun——

"Come in."

It was the voice of Old Baimao!

he?
Li Zheng couldn't help looking at Hou Jun, and found that Hou Jun was also staring at him with copper bell-like eyes.

It's not that Li Zheng didn't expect it, but Hou Jun, a veteran, didn't expect it.

The door opened, and Lao Baimao and instructor No. 5 were in the small conference room. Seeing Zhuang Yan, Li Zheng, and Hou Jun coming in from the door, they greeted with a smile: "Are you here?"

Solemnly said: "Old chief, you have an order, so I have to hurry over here, I'm afraid there is some urgent task!"

After speaking, he brought two soldiers forward and saluted.

Of course, Old Bai Mao knew that Zhuang Yan was joking, so he returned the gift with a smile.

Li Zheng and Hou Jun saluted instructor No. 5 again, and the latter also returned the salute. After looking at them, they said, "How is it? Is the game easy?"

Li Zheng smiled and said, "It's okay."

Hou Jun said: "He shot a 0 miss with a cold-bore shot yesterday."

Instructor No. 5 said "um", and then said to the old Baimao: "Look, chief, regret it, I said we shouldn't care about Zhuang Lu's opinion, just ask them if they want to stay with us, okay Seedling."

Zhuang Yan hurriedly stopped: "Come on, don't poach my people in front of me, it's okay to poach me quietly, hahahaha."

After a few people laughed, Lao Maobai asked Li Zheng and Hou Jun: "I am looking for you today, not for any mission, but to give you awards."

"Award?"

Li Zheng and Hou Jun were stunned.

Instructor No. 5 said: "Let's put it this way, the last mission was very successful. Although the VIP is gone, the bodyguard you caught has a lot of background. He is a member of the GRS, the team leader, and has served in the T1 troop. He has experience." A very rich veteran who was able to catch him, you two are not small, and the credit is not small. After consideration, the army decided to repay you for your credit. Now it has been approved. This time the commander and I came here for this matter , in order to express my affirmation to you, I decided to award you personally in recognition of your calmness and bravery in the task."

As he said that, an officer came over, holding a brocade tray in his hand, with two boxes and two documents on it.

Old Baimao solemnly picked up the document and began to read——

"...In view of Li Zheng's heroic performance in the mission, I will make a special first-class merit..."

Then he picked up another copy and continued to read.

It was Hou Jun's meritorious order, and the content was roughly the same.

After reading, Old Bai Mao picked up the box, opened it, took out the first-class merit medal inside, and hung it on Li Zheng's chest.

Li Zheng was still in a dazed state at this time, looking at the golden first-class merit medal, he always felt a little unreal, as if he was dreaming.

Solemnly reminded him: "What's wrong? You forgot all the military regulations? You two idiots!"

Old Bai Mao smiled and said, "Didn't you do the same back then?"

Majestic laughed.

Li Zheng remembered now, and stood at attention to salute.

Old Baimao returned the gift, picked up another one, and pinned it to Hou Jun's chest.

Hou Jun hurriedly saluted.

"The two meritorious orders just now are limited to read here and archived by this unit." Old Baimao said solemnly: "Your family will receive good news, and there will be records in the individual soldier files of your unit, but there is one thing I have to remind you, because of the nature of the mission, this matter is rotten in the stomach and brought into the grave."

Then he took out two other orders from his pocket and began to read.

The content is roughly that Li Zheng and Hou Jun put forward constructive improvement suggestions to the military industry department during the process of being seconded to a military industry unit to assist in the verification of firearms, which played a key role in the smooth finalization of a certain type of new equipment and contributed to the cause of national defense science and industry. In order to achieve strength and so on, special first-class merit is recorded.

Li Zheng and Hou Jun were confused again.

what's wrong?

Just can't say?
Old Bai Mao said: "I know it's hard to keep secrets, but you'll just get used to it in the future. Remember the secrecy rules you learned when you joined the army."

Li Zheng and Hou Jun saluted again: "Yes!"

Old Baimao said: "To be honest, I like both of you very much, but you have your military journey to go, if there is a destiny in the future, we will see you again."

After finishing speaking, he said to Zhuang Yan: "Let's leave things as they are here, we're going back, and there are still many things to deal with."

Solemn salute: "I wish you all the best, if you have the opportunity to come to our brigade to guide and guide the work, it is also fine to send someone to form a training team, such as the fifth..."

Instructor No. 5 said: "Okay, I am willing. Whether the chief approves or not is one thing."

Old Bai Mao glanced at No. 5 and said, "I know you're suffocated in the base. This mission is over. When the work is finished, I'll give you a big vacation. You're going to Zhuangyan, and you can use your vacation to go to .”

No. 5 suddenly became unhappy: "Chief, the donkeys of the production team can't be used like this! I went to the village brigade, so it's considered a business trip."

Old Bai Mao ignored No. 5, turned to Zhuang Lu and said, "Okay, you can go back, I know you are competing, I wish you all the best, and win the championship as soon as possible, I will wait for your good news."

After finishing speaking, he reached out to shake hands with Li Zheng and Hou Jun: "Although others don't know what you have experienced, there is a rule in our army. Anyone who has worked here and been on a mission is our own. I will always pay attention to you, strive to go abroad, study hard, and also win honor for our army, don't be ashamed, or you won't say you know me when you meet in the future."

Li Zheng and Hou Jun felt the blood rushing up, and stood at attention again: "I promise not to lose face of the chief and the instructor!"

Get out of the building, get in the car, and return the same way.

When they arrived at the place of residence, the two of them still foolishly touched the first-class merit medal.

Although Hou Jun has already made a first-class merit, the meaning of this coin is different, it is a bit more mysterious, and because of the mystery, it is very precious.

After getting out of the car, he solemnly called the two of them to stop.

"Wait, say a few words before going back."

Li Zheng and Hou Jun stood up, waiting for the solemn lecture.

Zhuang Yan said: "There are very few people like you. A soldier who has been in the army for more than two years, has a second-class merit and a first-class merit, and a ten-year soldier who has made two first-class merits. I was not so fast back then. However, honor is a thing. A good thing is not a good thing. The good thing is that it can motivate people to make progress and give people more motivation and enthusiasm; the bad thing is that it can also make people decadent and make people unwilling to make progress. Someone has made a contribution , work harder; some people have made meritorious service, and feel that the car has arrived at the station, the ship has landed, and since then they have been living on their laurels, and they have no achievements and become waste. It is up to you to decide what kind of soldier you are.”

Slowing down, he continued: "This competition has no meaning to you in terms of honor. Even if you go abroad and get No.1, it is at most a first-class achievement, and it will not exceed the honor you have won now. I I hope you will not be immersed in the halo of honor and forget the original meaning of participating in the competition. I know that Li Zheng, you stayed here to help your old squad leader make meritorious service, but Hou Jun no longer needs you for the first-class meritorious service before. Help, continue to cooperate, what is the purpose, what is the goal, what is the meaning, you must figure it out, whether you are a human being or a soldier, you must have goals and beliefs, otherwise you will lose your direction, no matter how strong you are. And nothing will be done. Do you understand what I say?"

Li Zheng and Hou Jun replied subconsciously: "Understood."

Zhuang Yan said: "Nonsense! I said so much at once, you will understand after listening to it once? Li Zheng, being a soldier is not a puppet, nor a repeater. Although the army is a disciplined army, it must have its own personality. , at least you can't tell lies, and you can't be an answerer."

The faces of Li Zheng and Hou Jun suddenly turned red.

Solemnly said: "That's it, digest my words carefully, and compete with Zhong Rui and the others at the best level tomorrow. Sometimes, winning is just an incidental product. The real meaning of the competition lies in being able to compete with your own masters Compete together, hide in your own small unit and be invincible in the world, it's boring and lonely."

After finishing speaking, he turned around, got into the car and left, leaving behind the two soldiers who were still standing there stupidly.

Ten minutes later, by the ditch at the back of the row house, Li Zheng and Hou Jun were sitting there in a daze, Hou Jun was smoking a cigarette.

Li Zheng said, "Squad leader, do you still smoke?"

Hou Jun took the cigarette, looked at it and said, "Smoking less, I just can't help but take a few puffs when thinking about things."

Li Zheng said: "What's wrong? It's really like what the brigade commander said, two first-class meritorious service, one on each side, covering two eyes?"

Hou Jun rolled his eyes at him and said: "You rookie, you have only been a soldier for more than two years and dare to teach me a lesson? I still have ten years of skill, how about you? It's only been more than two years, I think you are lost, look You are so proud, don't forget that I am your squad leader!"

Li Zheng couldn't help laughing out loud, and said: "Old squad leader, you are a man, the more anxious you are, the more you like to scold people, you have something on your mind."

Hou Jun was silent for a while before he said, "Yes, are you okay? I feel like I'm dreaming."

After thinking about it for a while, he said again: "You said this life... I used to dream of this first-class merit every night in my dreams. There is always a fire, and a voice in my head is always asking myself-why not me? I train so hard, and my level is not bad, why is it not me who makes meritorious deeds? Now it’s great, the two of them are still first-class, who will believe you when you tell this? I don’t even believe it! But you say, what’s it like to get this first-class skill? I’m still thinking about it... ...I was very excited when I got it, but looking back, it seems that it is all in the past. What about the future? Can I still get it? Can I still break through? Honor... belongs to the past..."

Li Zheng was fascinated by listening.

Hou Jun's words made him fall into deep thought.

"Yeah... What is honor? Now that I am in this situation, it is appropriate to go back to the graduate school... When I was admitted to university, I thought about graduation every day, but now I hold it firmly in my hand, but it is gone. That imagined excitement."

Hou Jun took a puff of cigarette, turned his head to look at Li Zheng thoughtfully, and suddenly said, "Li Zheng, have you tried International Sniper No.1?"

Li Zheng smiled: "Squad leader, what stupid things are you talking about? The competition hasn't started yet, so what do I get?"

Hou Jun said: "That's right, people, don't you just want to break through and get higher things that you don't have? We haven't won the first place in the international sniper competition, so let's get it!"

Li Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled: "Yes, it should feel good to win that first place."

Hou Jun threw away the cigarette butt and stretched out his hand: "Boy, come on!"

Li Zheng also stretched out his hand to hold him together: "Veteran, come on!"
