Chapter 4 Chapter 2 Heroes of Self-Defense Counterattack against Vietnam

In mid-April 2011, I received the offline file of vest.The attached message on the vest is: "Brother Snake, this is the text left by my father. I only passed on the beginning part to you. You roughly guessed the things about my father correctly, thank you for your help. I will slowly Pass on to you all the stories my father left behind." I received the file and immediately left a message: "Why a story? Why do you say that?" Unexpectedly, the vest is invisible, and he is online. He replied quickly: "I think it should be a story. Even if I believe that his disappearance was captured by aliens, I still can't believe what he wrote."

I replied: "If it is a story, can I sort out what he wrote and write it into a post? Seriously, I am very curious about your father. If the text left by your father is really weird, I can give up writing "" The plan for the sequel to Ghost Stories, write your father's text as a post." "It's up to you." The vest replied. "Do you have any objections?" "If these words are true, it is not a bad thing for everyone to know about my father; if it is a story he made up, I can only say that he is more imaginative than you." "This is easy to explain. I wrote the post because I was too lonely and boring on the construction site. Your father's environment is a hundred times more lonely than mine. People will think wildly in a boring environment. Then I will take a look. I'll post your father's story if it feels right."

"My father's writing is very messy. In fact, from the bottom of my heart, I hope you can help him sort it out." Said the vest. "I'll give it a try." I replied. "Then I'll pass it on to you piece by piece." "OK!" After I read the first document that Vest sent me, I decided to send the text left by his father.Because the story of his father is really fascinating.His father was an absolutely brilliant storyteller.Of course, there is a possibility that this is his father's real experience. But I maintain the same attitude as Vest, because I have received the documents he sent me one after another. The contents of these written records are too bizarre, and I cannot confirm the authenticity of the matter.

So in the days to come, when some netizens who liked to read my posts asked me when I would write "Ghost Story 2", I always answered in the same way: "My writing plan for this year is——!!" The following is the first document (all the content of the document has been modified by me, but the general plot has not changed): Son, I have always owed you and your mother.But I am a soldier, and the choices I face force me to choose between family and work.Sorry, that's all I can do. In the past few years, you have often asked me where I was and what I did during the fourteen years I left you.Let me tell you first, the fourteen years of being away from you are just a moment to me, passing by in a flash.

I will slowly tell you what I have experienced during this time. Let's start with me on the battlefield.I was in Vietnam, sneaking into the enemy's command post and using their transmitters to give my comrades my bearings.Ten minutes later, the sound of shells exploding was heard near me.At that time, my mission had been completed, and the only thing left to do was to wait for death.I can't escape, I'm surrounded by enemies, and shells fired by my comrades-in-arms. The dense shells, like raindrops, made me, like these Vietnamese, give up hiding.Then the corner where I was hiding was hit by a shell.Before I passed out, I felt a violent shock wave.

When I woke up, I was already in a rear hospital in Guangxi.What saved me was a wall, which shielded me from the impact of the shells, and I was just crushed under a pile of rubble. I recuperated in a sanatorium and received a military medal.You know all these things.Then I received an order from the army to change jobs and returned to my hometown.I was warmly received in my hometown, and then began to give lectures in several schools in the county. Next, I waited for the local government to arrange a job for me.I had two options at the time. One was to stay in the county seat and become a policeman. The Public Security Bureau gave me the position of Chief of Criminal Investigation.The other is to go to Wuhan. Your grandfather was rehabilitated a year ago. As compensation for him, I can go to an administrative department in Wuhan to drive for the leader.

During that time, I slowly figured it out. I planned to stay in the county and do the work I wanted to do.But things changed. The political commissar of the army where I was a soldier came, and he was accompanied by an unknown person. From the respectful attitude of the political commissar to him, this person was extraordinary. They found me and took me to the county guest house.The mysterious person took me into a room, and the political commissar was standing guard outside the room.After entering the room, the mysterious figure carefully checked the layout of the room, and then closed the curtains.From my professional point of view, he did it very professionally.

"Time is running out." This man with an extraordinary background said to me, "Don't talk too much, let me ask you now, are you still willing to continue to fight for the country?" I immediately replied: "Yes." "We have investigated your situation very clearly." The man said, "We are very satisfied with your political background." "I will always be loyal to the country and the party." "We are looking for you. Political awareness is only the most basic condition." The man continued, "Your performance on the battlefield is also an important factor for us to consider you."

"I unconditionally obey the organization's arrangements." "Okay." The man said, "I'll arrange for someone to transfer your identity and files to my department." "Can I ask the chief, what department is it?" "We belong to the Seventh XX Research Institute of the Navy." The man said, "Don't ask this question again." My thought at the time was that our motherland might engage in a naval battle with a certain country, but I am not a navy. The organization sought me out because they wanted me to join the intelligence battlefield.

But I was wrong.More on this later. "I am the director of the Marine Strategy Section of the Seventh XX Research Institute of the Navy, with the rank of colonel. My surname is Wang." "Should I call you Master Wang, or Chief of Staff Wang?" "No, you can only call me Director Wang." "yes." "Now for your first order." "yes." "You get married right away." "What?" I was very surprised. "You must get married within a week." Director Wang said, "Immediately carry out the order. I will come to you in three months."

After Director Wang said these words, he went out and got in a jeep with my former political commissar and left. I began to worry: "Where can I find a suitable woman to marry?" But things went well. The next day, the leader of the county United Front Work Department came to me and asked me if I had considered my personal problems.I immediately said that if the leader has a suitable candidate, I will accept the arrangement. So I met your mother.Your mother was twenty-one years old and had graduated from high school.The leader told me that she listened to my report and admired me as a fighting hero very much.Your mother has a strong political background. She is an orphan, a daughter who was cared for and raised by the government and brought up by the party. I got the marriage certificate before I saw your mother.Your mother and I have no relatives, and we got married without any ceremony.Your mother admires me very much. Maybe you are not happy to hear that, but there is really no husband and wife relationship between us.She has so much respect for me. In the second month after marriage, your mother went to the hospital for an examination and came back to tell me that she was pregnant with you.Her expression was very excited, but it was by no means the joy of a woman having a child, but... It was more like completing a task. Yes, it is a task. At this time, I vaguely wanted to understand that the battlefield I was about to face must be very dangerous, and the organization was thinking about the things behind me.Of course, there is another explanation. The battlefield I am going to face will face many tests. A person with a family is even less likely to betray.But this idea came to me a long time later.At that time, I had only one thought about the country: I would use my life to defend the interests of the country. Director Wang came to see me on time in the third month after meeting me for the first time.I tidy up a bit and bid farewell to your mother.Sitting in Director Wang's jeep, I boarded a transport plane at a military airport near Wuhan.On the plane, I didn't ask what the destination of the flight was. The plane took off at night and landed at a remote military base more than three hours later.I don't know where this is, but I can tell from the salty smell in the air that this base must be near the sea. There are very few buildings on the base, just a long airstrip and two or three brick houses at the end of the runway.Director Wang took me into an office in one of the brick buildings. Director Wang didn't say a word to me all the way, I just followed him.In the office, to the left of the door, there is a wooden door.Director Wang took out the key, inserted it into the wooden door and turned it twice.The door lock clicked, Director Wang pressed his hand on the door, and the door opened slowly.Only then did I see that this door was a steel door, but the outside was painted with the color of a yellow wooden door.Behind the door is a long staircase that extends underground.I followed Director Wang and walked down step by step. At the end of the stairs, like a maze.The staff inside are all wearing military uniforms, some staff members are walking hurriedly in the aisle, and some people are standing in front of the operating table of the equipment, staring at the electronic instruments. Director Wang continued to walk with me.We walked into a long passage again, and the exit of this passage was also a heavy iron door.Director Wang opened the iron gate, and we walked in. I saw that it was an underground space, very empty, more than 200 meters long, more than ten meters wide, and about ten meters high. It was a long cylindrical space.On the walls around this underground space, iron bridges protrude from many places, and there are some steel beams on the top, and some steel structures that I can't understand, protruding from the walls or hanging from the top.The walls around the space are very rough, I touched it with my hand, and it was wet. Director Wang walked to the middle of the underground space, opened another door, and I followed him in.This is a circular space. In the center of the space is a thin steel column the size of a wine glass, stretching all the way to the top. I looked up and saw that this circular space, like the steel column, extended upwards, as if it had no end. As far as it is, it is dark.There are wooden doors embedded in the arc-shaped wall next to it. Director Wang pushed open a door, and there was a single bed and a washroom inside.There were work clothes and some instruments that I couldn't read hanging on the wall. "This is where you rest." Director Wang said, "Next, you will be trained." "What training?" I asked. "The training session has been arranged, you rest first. When the radio in the room rings, you have to get up." "Is my training very important?" "Seventeen people live here, including you." Director Wang said seriously, "The other sixteen people are all your training instructors. I hope you will complete the training tasks well." "yes." Director Wang added: "When I come again, I hope you have completed the training." "When will you be back?" "I don't know either. It depends on the progress of another department." I stood at attention and said to Director Wang, "I promise to complete the training mission." Director Wang saluted me, turned around, opened the door and walked out. I raised my wrist and looked at my watch.It was almost three o'clock in the morning, so I hurriedly washed and lay down on the bed and fell asleep.Before falling asleep, I went through everything I had just seen in my mind.I am not a soldier who follows orders blindly. I will think in my own way and angle when I receive any mission. What is certain now is that the mission I will accept must be related to ocean warfare.Where I am now is undoubtedly some secret naval base.It's just that I'm still not sure what task I want to perform.Also, although I didn't talk much with Director Wang, he at least left me a message, a very important message: this task is a multi-departmental cooperation, not just me alone to complete the task. At 6:50 in the morning, I woke up, and the radio in the room rang at the same time.The announcer on the radio began to deliver the day's news bulletin.When I finished washing and getting dressed, the radio began to broadcast news from all over the country.I am a little surprised that in such a strict military base, relevant news within the army should be broadcast, not just general news information. Before I had time to think about it, at 7:05, I opened the door and walked into the large cylindrical room. In front of the steel pillar, facing the door of my room, stood a row of soldiers, sixteen of them, all wearing ordinary green simple military uniforms.Everyone is the same, no collar badge, no military rank. I walked up to them, stood at attention and saluted.They also raised their hands in salute at the same time. The tall man on the far left stepped forward and said to me: "Platoon Leader Wu, from now on, we will start targeted training for you." A middle-sized person in the middle of the team also walked up to me and said to me: "I am responsible for training your language, and you must be able to use English proficiently in a short time." (I got another message: I am going to communicate with the United States or dealing with the British.) Another person stood up: "I am in charge of your swimming and diving training." Next, the rest of the people stood up one after another. "I'm in charge of your fighting training." "I'm in charge of your speed discrimination training." "I'm in charge of your mechanical and electrification training." (I smile internally.) "I'm in charge of your weapons handling training." (I'm proficient with any light or heavy weapon. I didn't think much of this instructor, but I was proven wrong.) "I'm in charge of your medical and self-rescue training." "I'm in charge of your training in astronomy and physics." "I'm in charge of your social knowledge training." "I'm in charge of your physical limit training." "I'm in charge of your intelligence and communications operations training." "I'm in charge of your environmental and climate knowledge training." "I'm in charge of your geography training." "I'm in charge of your biological knowledge training." "I'm in charge of your military command training." The first person to come out finally said: "I am your psychological counselor, and I am also a party representative." Everyone is silent.The party representative then said to me: "Shall we start?" "Sir, can I ask a few questions?" "You can't quit," the party representative said. "The organization chose you. You don't have a second choice." "Yes," I replied, "what I want to ask is how long will I be training." The party representative said: "We don't know, maybe tomorrow, you will end the training and start the operational mission. Maybe one month, maybe two months, but it will never exceed half a year. If half a year later, you have not received training An order to end, that means, the operation is cancelled." "Can I know the arrangement of the training content?" "You're going to be doing multiple trainings at the same time. See what I mean, the language training instructor, will be by your side all the time, and she'll be teaching you English non-stop. Her plan is that after a week, you'll be banned from using Chinese and We communicate." "You mean, my training content overlaps. For example, during physical training or combat training, I will receive knowledge of astronomy, geography, and biology at the same time?" "It's roughly like this. Your training content has been arranged by our scientific system. Every moment, you receive two or more training content at the same time. We don't have much time." "I'm fine," I said. "Training begins." The party representative remained expressionless. The language instructor came to me and said to me: "Take effect!" "Please analyze the identity of all of us." The instructor who trained my speed discrimination suddenly asked. "Your real identity is an old criminal investigation policeman." I said, "Your eyes are very special." The language instructor spoke quickly in English. "You must be a staff member from some embassy." I pointed to the language instructor and said, "Your gestures are very elegant." The language instructor didn't answer me in Chinese, but still said something in English.From her speaking speed and expression, I was sure she was translating at the same time. "Although you want to teach me how to operate weapons, you have never held a gun." I pointed to the weapons training instructor and said, "You don't have calluses on your fingers. Judging from your physical condition, you can't bear the recoil of heavy weapons." None of them spoke, only the language instructor was translating in English. "You two must be from the same university." I pointed to the climate instructor and the geography instructor and said, "You are professors. Although your ages are very different, you have the same temperament." The language instructor continued to translate. I said my opinion one by one, and none of them showed any expression. "Repeat what I just translated in English." The language instructor suddenly raised an eyebrow. I hesitated for a moment, and answered honestly: "I didn't remember." "Why don't you remember?" the language instructor said, "Why don't you concentrate!" The party representative said: "Platoon Leader Wu, I repeat, this task is very difficult, the content of the training is targeted, and you must do your best." The language instructor continued: "You went to junior high school before joining the army. At that time, your Russian score was the first in the whole grade. When you were on mission in Vietnam, you once stayed in Vietnam alone for four months. If you don't learn quickly Vietnamese, you definitely won’t be able to support it for so long.” "That's because I'm in a life-or-death situation all the time and I have to learn the local language to hide my identity." "Platoon Leader Wu," the party representative reminded me excitedly, "the current situation is also a matter of life and death, and it is not only you, but..." "I understand," I said. "Go ahead." I began to accept the intensive training given to me by these sixteen people.The training intensity is very high, far exceeding my training in the army. When I was learning to operate some complicated mechanical equipment, I had to accept the noise of several professors at the same time; I felt unable to support myself while receiving physical training, but I still had to listen to their social science analysis.I know that these are very useful for the tasks I will perform, but the double extreme pressure, both mental and physical, makes me unable to bear it. This is a very painful process, and an ordinary person will never understand this kind of pain.I have to go all out for every training item, and there is no room for error.All the training items have no focus, no distinction between primary and secondary, and I have no way out, but bear it.Because every day, I may participate in the action mission, so this training plan has no time arrangement at all. What the sixteen of them have to do is to try their best to use what they are good at at the fastest speed imposed on me. However, after three days of my training, there were only fifteen subjects left.Fighting and fighting is one of the first things I achieved my training goal. The fighting instructor is a Sanda champion in the domestic public security system.I overestimated him, and when I sparred with him, like any other training subject, I just wanted to give it my all.In two rounds, I misplaced his cervical spine, and he fell unconscious and was carried out by the medical staff.I immediately figured out that he is different from me. Although he is a national Sanda champion, his fighting experience comes from competitions. "Friendship comes first, competition comes second." fight.But I am different. Every time I fight, I am really on the battlefield.The army trained me with one fatal move, without hesitation, without hesitation, because even if I was only a second behind, I might have to face death. I once quietly cut the throats of three Vietnamese soldiers in succession, and also shot the enemy to death with bare hands at the fastest speed in a head-on confrontation, leaving him no chance to call for help.I simply don't have the mind to think about too many problems. At this moment, the only thing I can think about is life and death. Only when I kill the enemy can I think about the next move. After a week, I was really restricted to communicate in Chinese.All these training instructors can use English proficiently. In front of me, even if they communicate with each other, they no longer speak a single Chinese character. As a result, the training of social science and natural knowledge has become more difficult.I can only try to figure out what they mean.But this is what they want - in this environment, I can learn English quickly.The party representative was kind enough to give me an hour every day to recite English words alone. I have to memorize fifty words every day, and I can't forget them after memorizing them.The words are chosen randomly by myself.I will write down the words that I don't understand during training, find them in the dictionary, and write them down.The job of the language instructor is just to correct my accent and grammatical mistakes. I thought that swimming and diving training must be as simple as fighting training for me.But I was wrong.A week later, they took me to the huge space where I had come in. Except for the instructor who trained me to swim and dive, everyone retreated.After the iron gate was closed, countless water jets suddenly appeared from the surrounding walls.It is not known when these holes appeared.What comes in is sea water.I get it, this space is an experimental dock for testing submarine performance. The water didn't rise very fast, and it took forty minutes before the water topped our heads, and the swimming instructor and I started treading water.At this time, he told me that he once won a place in the competition of crossing the Qiongzhou Strait, and he made a living by catching pearl shells in the sea since he was a child. He kept telling me how to adapt to the flow rhythm of the seawater, how to save energy to the greatest extent, and how to keep body heat from being lost in the seawater... He told me not to tell others.Although I was skeptical of his approach at the time, he was later proven to be right. After we soaked in the seawater at about 18 degrees Celsius for five hours, the seawater completely filled the space.The instructor who trained me to swim could no longer communicate with me verbally.Then we snorkeled in sea water for six minutes.The limit for the average person to stop breathing is five minutes. Starting from four minutes of hypoxia, the brain will begin to faint due to hypoxia, and brain cells will begin to die.This is what the instructors who train in medical treatment and self-help have told me.Before I lost consciousness, his words flashed clearly in my mind. I have a stronger physique than ordinary people, and I survived.But this is just the beginning, I have to repeat it almost every day, but when I go to the experimental dock of the submarine, I always sneak in through the hole.We use various complex movements to complete one difficult operation after another. I began to receive weapon operation training, from bows and arrows in the cold weapon era to modern missile trajectory calculations, all of which are in the learning content. Two months have passed, but I haven't received an order to act. The faces of the fifteen instructors are getting more and more serious, which means that the action is likely to be cancelled.The consequence of canceling the action means that the action of another department has failed, and the consequences of failure will be catastrophic.The country's investment in my training does not care about manpower and material resources at all. From the identity of the instructor to the arrangement of this training base, it shows that the country attaches great importance to this task.I am also very nervous. I took courses in climate, astronomy, and geography faster and faster.These professors all use English when imparting knowledge, and the language instructor has become an insignificant person. The professors of social sciences repeated Mahan’s "Theory of Sea Power" to me tirelessly, and I could tell him quickly: "Whoever controls the world's core throat waterways, canals and shipping routes will control the world economy and energy transportation." Whoever controls the world economy and the door of energy transportation controls the economic and security lifelines of all countries in the world; whoever controls the economic and security lifelines of all countries in the world controls the whole world (in disguise). Oceans are geopolitics The key to this is that conflicts between countries will shift from land to sea. The game between countries is the competition for the interests of the sea.” These arguments have been engraved in my heart.I am now absolutely certain that my mission, and even my destiny, will be bound up with the sea. The day finally came, Director Wang returned to the base.The training instructors and I lined up in the cylindrical space. As soon as Director Wang came in, he said: "The training is over, and the action begins. Xiao Wu, follow me immediately." I didn't even have a chance to say goodbye to the instructors. That's all in the document that the vest passed to me.After I read it, I took the initiative to send a message to the vest: "It is obvious that your father has fought in the ocean for fourteen years." Two days later, Vest replied: "Brother Snake, if only fighting was as simple as that." I didn't understand what he meant. Is there anything more intense and complicated than war?I slowly deduced, counting from the time that Majia's father was training at the base, had there been any naval battles between China and other countries.In my impression, it seems that our country only had a warship shelling incident with Vietnam at sea, but it was only a conflict and it did not rise to the level of war. What kind of mission did the vest father perform?I was still thinking, and the vest sent me a new document.I can't wait to open the document.
