reborn super empire

March has gradually entered spring. The temperature rises and the ice and snow melt. The people in Northeast China have had the most comfortable winter. Although the weather is very cold and the food is far from enough to satisfy them for every meal, they now feel a strong sense of happiness.

The buzzing of fighter planes can be heard in the air every day, but they are not afraid, because it is their own fighter plane, which is here to protect them, so when the people on the ground see the fighter plane flying by quickly, they also learn from it. Watching those soldiers salute in the air, although there are many gestures and the salute does not show any standard at all, the 99th Army still readily accepts the respect from the people.

Respect is mutual, and this point is once again reflected in the people of Huaxia. In the past, people rarely went to the city if they were fine, but it is different now. The same county still has well-equipped Guarded by soldiers, they still have to be searched and questioned when entering the city, but now everyone has a smug smile on their faces. Even if they are searched, they are very happy to cooperate.

It is much better to have your own body searched than to be searched by devils. Now as long as it is not contraband, such as drugs or arms control knives, people will not care about you at all. As long as there are no contraband, you can come and go in and out of the county as you like, which is not like before. , After being searched, you still have to talk nicely, good cigarettes are waiting for you, and the devils are upset and quickly offer some tribute. Now you hand them a cigarette, they have to smile and refuse, and they dare not take it from the hands of the common people. Take anything.Sometimes when forced to accept things from the common people, the soldiers will also pay.Or secretly put money on the people.

Because there are two gendarmes staring straight at the soldiers behind them, who dares to accept bribes secretly.Without further ado, he put on iron handcuffs and took him away. Once, because of a soldier's skillful hiding technique, the military police took a pack of cigarettes from a commoner without seeing him give the money. A gendarme handcuffed the soldier, but the soldier shouted loudly at the civilian, saying that he stuffed [-] cents in his pocket, and the civilian took out the money in surprise on the spot. The last two gendarmes stopped after warning the soldier.

One pass ten ten pass one hundred. The iron-like discipline of the 99th Army is not only strictly observed in the army, but even the common people know that this army is different from the previous Chinese troops. They never take anything from the common people, even if it is sent by you personally Neither do they.

Zhang Dagou has nothing to do today, and he plans to go to the city to find some odd jobs to do. Some time ago, there were wars everywhere, and Zhang Dagou was so scared that he could only stay at home and dare not go there. Later, the gunshots gradually stopped, but for the sake of for safety.He still didn't dare to take the risk of going out, so he had to wait for a while to come out. Yesterday, a guy from the village who went to the city said that the 99th Army had recovered Ningcheng, and now there were no more devils there.And usually those two devils and bullies who do a lot of evil have already been dealt with by the 99th Army, so Zhang Dagou got up early today, took a bun from home and went straight out.

There are five brothers in Zhang Dagou's family.There are also three younger sisters. Zhang Dagou, the eldest, is 26 this year.The second brother is 24, and the eldest sister is 22.The third brother is eighteen, the fourth brother is fifteen, the second sister is eleven, the fifth brother is eight years old, and the younger sister is just three years old.The burden on the family is getting heavier and heavier, and there is a rule in the family that no one below can get married if the eldest is not married, but the conditions of the Zhang family are not enough for the eldest to marry a daughter-in-law even if they squeeze out all their belongings, so they are already 22. The eldest sister still has not been able to find a husband's family.

How difficult it is for a family of ten to survive in this war-torn era, perhaps only when you have experienced it yourself will you know this hard work. Although the boss Zhang Gouzi is only 26 years old, let an uninformed person watch it. At first glance, this guy is definitely over 30 years old, and his years of hard work have made him look like a middle-aged person early.

But there is no way, the family does not know a single word and has no money, so now the family's wish is to save money quickly, and then arrange Zhang Gouzi's marriage first, and after the second brother is married, the eldest sister is married After getting married, the next day will be much easier, because the gift money from the eldest sister's wedding can be used to get the third brother married, and then a few married people will save money for the fourth brother to get married. Living can also allow this big family to live a life so-so.

But the sky is not what people want. The war made it impossible for them to continue to work and earn money. Now as long as they can have enough food and clothing, it is not bad, and Zhang Gouzi has already given up the idea of ​​​​marriage. Give the money to his parents to organize a wedding for his second brother. As for his own future, Zhang Gouzi has already made up his mind, either run away from home or die.

A soldier walked up to Zhang Gouzi, searched his body and found nothing but half of a Wowotou. Looking at Zhang Dagou's skinny body and the half-eaten Wowotou, The soldier froze for a moment, then took out a piece of compressed biscuit from his body, broke off half of it and handed it to Zhang Dagou.Compressed biscuits are only available recently, and I don’t know where Su Dao got them. Although the taste is not very good, for soldiers on duty outside, this is undoubtedly the best food to satisfy their hunger, so go out on duty Soldiers bring a pack of compressed biscuits every day.

"I can't, I can't, I'm not hungry. It's hard for you to stand guard as a soldier, so you should save it." Zhang Dagou was flattered and pushed back the half of the compressed biscuit in the soldier's hand, although he didn't know what it was Hey, it looked like he was doing nothing, but he subconsciously pushed back what the military master handed over.

"Here, it's issued by the army, and it doesn't cost money. Half a dollar can cover half a meal. Besides, I can ask them two if I don't have anything to eat." The soldier chuckled and pointed to the food. The two gendarmes behind him said.

"Ah?" Zhang Dagou was stunned for a moment. Although he hadn't been to the city recently, the guy in the village told him that behind the soldiers guarding the city gate were two soldiers with armbands on their shoulders. Specially clean up those soldiers.If any soldiers bully you, you go straight to them.Guaranteed to please you, see the soldier pointing at the two gendarmes now.You actually said that you didn't have anything to eat and asked them for it?What's the point?How dare he snatch food from the officer's mouth?

"My fellow, since he gave it to you, take it, don't worry, he won't starve." The two military police behind him seemed to have noticed the conversation here, and yelled directly at him from a distance.

Hearing the gendarme's shout, Zhang Dagou took the half of the compressed biscuit suspiciously, and took some crumbs from the side and tasted it in his mouth. It seemed a bit salty, and he could eat it dry. eat it.Zhang Dagou muttered secretly in his heart.But Zhang Dagou was reluctant to eat half of the dry biscuit, which tasted much better than Wowotou. Zhang Dagou carefully put the compressed biscuit into his pocket, and decided to let his parents and children eat it when he came home at night. Brothers and sisters also have a taste.

Seeing this, the soldier didn't say much. What Zhang Dagou wanted to do was his business, and he didn't care about it. He just saw that Zhang Dagou was penniless and only had half a dollar in his pocket.That's why I gave him half a biscuit in a moment of resignation.

But before Zhang Dagou had time to leave, a group of well-dressed soldiers suddenly ran out from the city gate. There were not many soldiers, about 20 or so.The neat steps are sonorous and powerful, which makes people sound shocked, and even has a faint feeling of fanaticism.Looking at the steel guns held by the soldiers, every passionate man present felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.The kind that can't be described at all.

"Master Jun, what are they doing?" Zhang Dagou took a deep breath.Boldly asked, this time he was going all out, who would dare to ask such a question like before?When people are in a good mood, they will give you a slap, and if they are in a bad mood, they will beat you all over the place.

"Oh, what about conscription, this time our Sixth War Zone has recovered part of the entire Rehe and Jinzhou provinces, and the central government will not send troops. There is only one army. One army can't defend such a large place, so the Sixth War Zone decided to confiscate Some local garrison troops are in charge of defending the city, and the main force of the 99th Army continues to fight against the devils." The soldier deliberately glanced at the notice just pasted on the city wall and said.

"Oh? Military Lord, is there any restriction? Is there any money for being a soldier?" Hearing what the soldier said, Zhang Dagou's eyes suddenly lit up. ?Regardless of food, in a year or two, the military salary will be enough for the second brother to get married.

"There are relatively few restrictions. A healthy man under the age of 30 is fine if he is not the only child in the family. Of course, he is paid for military service. The recruits of the 99th Army have a military salary of 30 yuan a month, but this The local troops were recruited once, and I don’t know how much the military pay is. Some time ago, our army recruited a batch of troops in Jinxi, so it is unlikely to expand the army in a short time.” The soldier thought for a while and replied.

Listening to the soldiers' explanations, Zhang Dagou strengthened his belief in being a soldier. They are all under the jurisdiction of the Sixth War Zone. The 99th Army is a regular army, and the military pay is naturally higher. There must be five or six yuan?Five or six yuan a month, and fifty or sixty yuan a year, is almost enough to marry a wife for the second brother.

Zhang Dagou rushed directly to sign up excitedly, and didn't bother to find odd jobs when he went to the city.And if you have acquaintances, you should be shocked. Isn’t the soldier who talked to Zhang Dagou just now the commander of the Sixth War Zone Su Dao? Trouble, he doesn't want to tell strangers how good his treatment is. He hopes to let the soldiers promote the 99th Army to their relatives and friends. This will get twice the result with half the effort, and Su Dao can achieve his goal faster .

As for the welfare of the local garrison troops, the salary of the recruits is 20 yuan per month, and the rest of the casualties are the same as those of the 99th Army. Others regard these local garrison troops as miscellaneous troops, but Su Dao doesn't think so. The 30 yuan military salary was paid because Su Dao wanted them to exercise for a while, and then increase to 30 yuan after a few months or half a year.

This time, the private interview on Weibo was considered a success. Although Su Dao saw some bad things, he saw more hope, and his original military expansion plan was gradually raised again. Now the soldiers in the city are busy. Dead, patrolling and standing guard every day, he doesn't want this kind of thing to happen again, and Su Dao's bottom line is 100 million troops, even if the number of recruits in this round can't reach 100 million, within half a year at the latest, Su Dao It is necessary to ensure that there are at least 100 million troops.
