Spike

Chapter 99

"The purpose of my talking to you this time is actually very simple." Lei Keming walked with Zhang Lei on the training ground with his hands behind his back, "You must be prepared to carry a heavier burden." Zhang Lei looked at Lei Keming.

"Are you confident that you can carry a special brigade?" Lei Keming asked him suddenly.Zhang Lei was taken aback. "I just need to answer - yes or no?" Lei Keming looked into his eyes.Zhang Lei thought about it: "Captain, do you want to go?" Lei Keming asked: "Answer me." Zhang Lei said firmly: "Yes." Lei Keming nodded: "The special brigade of the military region will soon expand and become a special brigade. It has two special brigades and one helicopter brigade. The helicopter brigade is drawn from the Army Aviation. The first team is the original team, and the second team is a new unit composed of backbone companies drawn from the reconnaissance battalions of several group armies in the military region. You and Liu Xiaofei partnered to lead the first team; Chen Yong and Lin Rui partnered to lead the second team. Except for Chen Yong, you are all young, so you are still acting captain and deputy captain. As for whether this pronoun can be removed and when it will be removed, You have to work hard on your own." "Yes!" Zhang Lei's eyes sparkled.

"The headquarters and the military region have agreed to our plan. The code name of the special brigade is still 'Spike'." Lei Keming said, "The code name of the first team is 'Canglang', and the code name of the second team is 'Jackal'. According to the changes in the mission form of the troops in the new period and you Their respective main specialties, the Canglang Brigade is mainly engaged in special operations in wild mountains and forests, and the second team is mainly engaged in urban special operations and anti-terrorist special operations. However, the two brigades must learn from and communicate with each other. Master two sets of combat skills in the wild and in the city. You are a paratrooper, and Liu Xiaofei is a classmate of your Luyuan. You have your own ideas about fighting in the wild, mountains, and jungles; Chen Yong is good at close combat and hand-to-hand combat, and Lin Rui's graduate project is the city Special operations and anti-terrorist special operations... Secretary Song, why are you here?" Secretary Song strode over and saluted: "Brigade Commander Lei."

"The order hasn't come down yet, so don't bark." Lei Keming smiled politely, "Does the chief have any instructions?" "I have something to do with Deputy Chief of Staff Zhang." Secretary Song said. "Looking for me?" Zhang Lei was very surprised, because Liu Yongjun has always paid attention to these details, and never let the secretary directly talk to him about work, "Business or private matters?" He thought that if it was a business matter, he would talk here, and Lei Keming could not be missed. "Private matter." Secretary Song said.Zhang Lei was even more puzzled: "We are talking about work. Can't we make it clear on the phone about private matters?" Secretary Song said: "Then I will wait over there." Lei Keming glanced at Secretary Song's back: "Go Well, things are roughly like this. You discuss your own ideas with Liu Xiaofei in the past few days, and when you have mature ideas, we will talk about the specific plan of the Wolf Brigade." "Yes." Zhang Lei saluted and ran to Secretary Song.Secretary Song was smoking a cigarette restlessly. "Brother Song, are you looking for me?" Zhang Lei always called Secretary Song like this in private. "Don't call me that again." Secretary Song's voice trembled.Zhang Lei looked at him strangely, he has been calling Fang Fang for several years? "I don't have the qualifications." Secretary Song steadied himself and turned to Zhang Lei.Zhang Lei looked at him with wide eyes. "I'm here to apologize to you." Secretary Song looked at him frankly.Zhang Lei looked at his mouth that kept talking, his eyes became more and more dull, and his ears could not hear anything.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Go back to the army after dinner?" Xiao Qin watched her daughter put on the military cap and captain's military uniform with nostalgia, "Your father won't let you send a car, so mother will give you money to take a taxi! Don’t move the money of your own little family! That money is reserved for the child, and there are still many places to spend money after birth!”

"Mom—" Liu Fangfang said with a smile, "it's not a matter of money or not! Our brigade is an emergency mobile combat force, and there is a strict ratio of going out on weekends, and the roll call will be late; besides, I am going out on a normal working day! Really, if it wasn't for talking about this matter with you, I wouldn't ask for leave! The brigade leader must have approved it because of my dad's face. Bar!"

Xiao Qin watched her daughter arrange her military appearance in front of the big mirror at the door, and suddenly remembered: "By the way, bring the child's clothes!" Liu Fangfang asked: "Why should I bring that?"

"Bring it on, bring it on, if he gets stupid again, you can show it to him!" Xiao Qin smiled and went upstairs to get it, "That's how I made your dad, that fool, understand!"

Liu Fangfang blushed watching Xiao Qin take off the child's clothes, she took it and stuffed it into the satchel: "I'm leaving." Xiao Qin smiled and said, "I see you are still embarrassed! Go, be careful on the road. We are in the army , call mom, remember!"

"Understood!" Liu Fangfang had already gone out to run. "Don't run!" Xiao Qin shouted anxiously, but her daughter had already run away.She smiled wryly, "What a crazy girl!" Before she could return to the sofa and sit down, a car stopped outside the door.Liu Yongjun came in with a dark face and carrying a briefcase, Xiao Qin went up to meet him: "Why are you back at this hour? Did you see Fangfang, she just left!"

"I didn't see it." Liu Yongjun didn't have a good face, and didn't look at Xiao Qin, and directly gave the bag to Xiaoyue, "Take me upstairs." Xiaoyue ran up.Liu Yongjun hung his hat on the coat rack, and sat directly on the sofa: "What is she doing now? Nonsense! The emergency mobile combat unit must be fully assembled on weekdays, doesn't she know?" Xiao Qin didn't dare to speak, Know that something is wrong with him.She poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Liu Yongjun, sat across from her and smiled: "Is the meeting not going well today?"

Liu Yongjun didn't speak.Xiaoyue came down: "What instructions does the chief have?" "You go, I don't want you to come in." Liu Yongjun said, "Close the door of the living room." "Yes." Xiaoyue went out and closed the door, and returned to himself. dormitory.Xiao Qin had an ominous premonition. "I have something to tell you." Liu Yongjun didn't look at Xiao Qin.Xiao Qin looked at Liu Yongjun, her face was pale, her mouth was open and she couldn't speak.

Liu Yongjun remained silent for a long time and closed his eyes.Xiao Qin nestled on the sofa with no blood on her face.For a long time, Liu Yongjun opened his eyes with tears in his eyes. He raised his index finger and shook his voice tremblingly: "Xiao Qin, you..." Xiao Qin sat up and looked at Liu Yongjun, tears had already flowed down.Liu Yongjun seemed to be 10 years older all of a sudden, and his voice was very old: "You broke my heart..."

The bus stopped on the mountain road, and Liu Fangfang got off the bus and ran happily to the army.Secretary Song stood smoking at the gate of the army, and saw Liu Fangfang coming over and looked up, Liu Fangfang looked at him in surprise: "Brother Song, why are you here?" Secretary Song smiled forcedly.

"My dad is here?!" Liu Fangfang was shocked, "It's broken, it's broken, I can't let him know that I asked for leave to go home! I went in—" Secretary Song stopped her: "Fangfang! You Dad didn't come."

Liu Fangfang stopped and looked back at him.Secretary Song said: "I'm here to wait for you." "Wait for me?" Liu Fangfang wondered, "I just came back from home?" "I have something to say to you." Secretary Song made up his mind, "Some things , your father told me to tell you." Liu Fangfang slowly turned around and looked at Secretary Song.Special Brigade Family House.The living room of Zhang Lei's house is very simple, but very warm, but at the moment the room is full of smoke.Zhang Lei was wearing a camouflage uniform and sat in a corner against the wall, his eyes blank.His right hand rested on his propped up right leg, holding a cigarette with a long butt between it, and there were cigarette butts all over the place.The smoke burned his fingers, but he didn't feel anything.

In the twilight, the large living room did not turn on the lights.Liu Yongjun was still sitting on the sofa, really aging all of a sudden.Xiao Qin knelt in the middle of the living room, weeping silently.Liu Yongjun's voice was weak: "How could you do this? How could you do this? Do you know what you are doing? You are killing the hearts of two young men...they are all my soldiers... "Xiao Qin didn't dare to look up, she wept silently.Liu Yongjun looked at Xiao Qin: "They are innocent, they didn't commit a crime...they didn't even make any mistakes, how could you do that?" Xiao Qin cried out. "Your heart is more vicious than snakes and scorpions..." Liu Yongjun closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face. "I know I'm despicable..." Xiao Qin cried, "But I'm all for Fangfang..." "You also ruined Fangfang's happiness..." Liu Yongjun's voice was weak. "Old Liu, she doesn't know Fangfang!" Xiao Qin hurriedly said, "Zhang Lei doesn't know either! They don't know, they won't know! They are very happy now, you see, they are very happy now... ..." "I've sent Xiao Song to the special brigade." Liu Yongjun opened his eyes. "Old Liu, why are you doing this? Why are you doing this?" Xiao Qin cried. "Because they are all soldiers, and I am their commander." Liu Yongjun said, "I must tell them the truth, and tell them that I have caused all this. I have to take this responsibility, and I cannot let them die in peace!" What about Fangfang?" Xiao Qin shouted in despair. "Fangfang is also a soldier." Liu Yongjun said, "I believe she will handle it well." "Old Liu—" Xiao Qin cried and crawled over, hugging Liu Yongjun's leg, "Fangfang is pregnant!" Liu Yongjun's With despair in his eyes, he looked at the setting sun in the distance.Xiao Qin cried, "She's been pregnant for two months! She's going to be a mother!" The light in Liu Yongjun's eyes completely disappeared.

"What do you want Fangfang to do with the child?" Xiao Qin cried desperately.

"I may never be a qualified father..." Liu Yongjun's voice was ethereal. He closed his eyes and let tears flow down his face, "But I must be a qualified soldier."

Zhang Lei was still sitting in the corner crying silently in the darkness, holding a completely extinguished cigarette butt in his hand.The door opened gently, Liu Fangfang stood at the door, Zhang Lei did not respond.Liu Fangfang looked at Zhang Lei dumbly, and said in a dumb voice, "Zhang Lei, let's get a divorce."

Fang Zijun sat motionless on the bed with tears streaming down his face.Xiao Bingbing grabbed her hand: "Mom, I'm hungry..." Fang Zijun came back to his senses and wiped his tears: "Mom, let's cook." Xiao Bingbing looked at his mother obediently: "Mom is crying, mom is crying!" What's the matter..." Fang Zijun picked up Xiao Bingbing and cried loudly: "Mom didn't cry! Mom didn't cry! Mom won't let Xiao Bingbing suffer any more! I won't let Xiao Bingbing suffer any more..."

"Old Liu, I know I'm guilty!" Xiao Qin knelt on the ground weakly, "Give me a chance to redeem myself..." "You have no chance..." Liu Yongjun closed his eyes. "Fangfang's child is about to be born, I can help her take care of the child..." Xiao Qin cried weakly.Liu Yongjun burst into tears: "Xiao Qin, you can still visit the child. If the child likes you, you can take care of it. Nothing has changed..." "Old Liu, I will take good care of the child!" Xiao Qin was pleasantly surprised crying. "I'm with you, it's impossible..." Liu Yongjun spit out these words weakly.Xiao Qin's face turned pale: "Old Liu!" "Say it yourself, can I still live with you?" Liu Yongjun opened his eyes and asked her. "Old Liu, don't... don't do this!" Xiao Qin crawled over and hugged Liu Yongjun's leg, "I love you..." "You don't love me, but the title of wife of the deputy commander of the district!" Liu Yongjun shook his head. "Old Liu, don't do this..." Xiao Qin cried, "You can't do this!" "Why can't I do this?" Liu Yongjun asked, "Look for yourself, what have you done?" "Old Liu , you are about to mention the main job in the district, this is a critical moment!" Xiao Qin cried. "Why, you still miss the wife of the commander in chief?" Liu Yongjun smiled wryly.Xiao Qin said anxiously: "That's not what I mean! I'm afraid of affecting you! You have to understand how divorce will affect your political future!" "Of course I know." Liu Yongjun smiled wryly. "Maybe you won't be able to get the main job in the district this time!" Xiao Qin cried.Liu Yongjun nodded: "I know this better than you."

"You are still young, you are only 55 years old!" Xiao Qin cried and shook Liu Yongjun's leg, "You have to understand, what does the general mean to your military career? That is the pinnacle glory of a Chinese soldier ah!"

Liu Yongjun shook his head: "Xiao Qin, you won't change it." Xiao Qin said anxiously: "I will! I've already changed it!" "You won't, you still don't understand me..." Liu Yongjun stood up and slowly Walking out, "I just would rather not be the head of this district, not this general epaulette... I also want to be a soldier who stands up to the sky!...Maybe you still have a chance, but I can't tolerate your relationship with me to this point , you are still full of official scriptures! It's terrible..."

He opened the door of the living room and walked out slowly. Xiaoyue ran over: "What's the matter, chief?" "Let the driver drive out, and I'll go back to the military headquarters." Liu Yongjun didn't look back, his footsteps were very tired. "Yes." Xiaoyue agreed, "When will the chief come back, do I need to prepare dinner for you?" "No." Liu Yongjun stopped, "I will never come back for dinner." He strode out, leaving Surprised Xiaoyue, and Xiao Qin who was still kneeling on the ground behind her.

"Let's get a divorce." Liu Fangfang didn't look at Zhang Lei, she stood in front of the window and looked at the brightly lit special team outside, tears streaming down her face.Zhang Lei still sat motionless in the corner, unable to see his face clearly.

"I came to this special brigade for you," Liu Fangfang's tears kept flowing, "now I have fallen in love with this place! I have fallen in love with this army compound in the valley...I love you, I love this place I love the work here, I love the barracks here, I love the soldiers here... But I have no face to stay here anymore, and I have no face to love you..." Zhang Lei did not move.

"I'm leaving." Liu Fangfang wiped away her tears and put on her military cap. "I hope that the damage my mother caused to you can heal soon." Liu Fangfang turned and went out, and the door was gently closed.Sitting in the corner, Zhang Lei suddenly let out an uncontrollable cry.The sentry at the gate of the army compound watched Zhang Lei stride out in surprise: "Deputy Chief of Staff!"
