Ballistic Silence of Special Years

The news this time is true, the peacekeeping team is finally about to set off.

Not long after the meeting, Han Xiaobei also came to the dormitory that was about to be reversed to cheer everyone up. When he arrived, he stretched out two hands and pressed them on the shoulders of Shen Jun and Tong Zhi respectively, and said in a solemn tone: "You guys The burden on the two shoulders is not light, among the four platoons of the security unit, you are the most dangerous, I trust you very much, but I need you to tell me, do you have the confidence to successfully complete all the tasks assigned to you!"

Tong Zhi and Shen Jun took a step back at the same time, and saluted: "We will never disappoint the great trust of the party and the country, we will never lose face, and we will absolutely guarantee the safety of every comrade-in-arms!"

"Okay, you go back right now, the training will be suspended from today, organize your personal supplies, make all preparations, watch the news and expansions at night, enter the state of combat readiness during the day, and be ready to go at any time!"

Three days later in the evening, the officers and soldiers of the peacekeeping team finally got on the bus that came to pick them up and drove directly to the international airport on the outskirts of the provincial capital.

After that, everything went on in a trance—putting on the blue helmet, carrying the luggage, carrying the rucksack, and then heading to the airport, where he accepted the farewell ceremony arranged by the army in the international terminal hall.

The army sent female soldiers back to present flowers, and then the national anthem began to be played, followed by the commanders of the military region and the group army announcing the expedition order, swearing an oath to the national flag, and the leaders of the military region gave speeches.

This should have been a solemn and sacred moment.

But for some reason, Tong Zhi was in a daze.

When he was at the airport, he called Xiao Guihua to say goodbye, and Xiao Guihua told him an exciting and surprising news——

I'm going to be a father myself!
going to be a dad...

In fact, Tong Zhi was completely unprepared.

Recalling that Xiao Guihua had only left for more than two months, and she had stayed in the army for one night before.

Damn!

Tong Zhi couldn't help being a little proud.

His marksmanship is really good.

One target.

To become a father, Tong Zhi thinks it is a very sacred thing after savoring it carefully.

I never thought about it before, but suddenly it came to me.

Some mistakes are not accepted, and some are overjoyed.

That is your own blood, in your wife's womb, he (she) will come into this world ten months later, cry loudly when born, then don't know anything, just look for milk everywhere.

When you get older, he (she) will start to babble, and will call you "Dad" in an unfamiliar language in a childlike voice, and then you will have an additional responsibility on your shoulders, the responsibility of being a father.

In the Chinese tradition, the old saying "it's the fault of not raising a godfather" makes you feel that you have a great responsibility for him (her), but being a father for the first time...

How?
By the way, how to be a father?
Tong Zhi suddenly found himself in a panic.

This is completely different from planning a special operations mission yourself.

Raising children does not require any guns, nor does it need airborne, diving, sniping, and all the things that they are familiar with.

Tong Zhi found that he knew nothing about being a father, and was even at a loss.

In this way, Tong Zhi boarded the plane in a daze.

As soon as he sat down, he regretted that he should have talked to his wife more just now.

...

It seemed that there was nothing to say before, but now sitting in the cabin, it seemed that I had nothing to say.

Outside the porthole of the plane, the ladder was withdrawn, and the plane began to slide slowly towards the take-off runway.

A sense of reluctant attachment arises spontaneously.

This time I went abroad, left my own country, left my small home, and went there for more than half a year.

Thinking of this, he quickly stared at the verdant forest inside and outside the airport and in the distance, and took a few more greedy glances.

The plane began to accelerate on the runway, and suddenly felt a force on the buttocks to lift the person up, and the body leaned back slightly.

The huge plane soared into the sky, straight into the blue sky.

Tong Zhi's nose suddenly felt a little sore, and he said silently in his heart: "Goodbye, motherland! Wife, wait for me to come back!"

This time I took an Airbus A330 passenger plane, a total of nearly 20 hours of journey, halfway to refueling.

Since it was already night when we boarded the plane, and there was no scenery to see, it was pitch black between the sky and the earth.

The cabin is very lively, many people are going abroad for the first time, and it is also the first time to go to Africa, and they are going to Africa in the name of the United Nations peacekeeping force, so they are inevitably excited.

United Nations!

In this world, isn’t the largest in name the United Nations?

Although this signboard is less than a hundred years old, it can be regarded as golden lacquer anyway.

Everyone swept into their stomachs the plane meal delivered by the stewardess, and then began to refill their drinks, one after another.

Some took out the MP3 player they had already prepared, put on earmuffs and earmuffs, and leaned on the plane seat to enjoy the journey of taking off halfway around the world.

Some people fell asleep with their heads covered, and some people started to open the front screen, select their favorite movies, and put on headphones to enjoy blockbuster movies.

Tong Zhi sat with Xia Zhiguo, the commander of the peacekeeping force who dispatched country L this time, and Xia Zhiguo seemed to have noticed that Tong Zhi was a little silent.

A few ten minutes after the plane vacated, Xia Zhiguo finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Tong Zhi, why didn't you say a word tonight? This is not like your usual style. "

Tong Zhi was still looking out of the window at first, a little lost in thought.

When Xia Zhiguo spoke at first, Tong Zhi didn't respond.

The former had no choice but to bump him with his arm, and then asked, "What's wrong with you? What's on your mind?"

Xia Zhiguo was a little worried.

Tong Zhi is the captain of the security unit, he can't have any psychological burden, if he makes a mistake, it will affect the safety of the entire team.

"Oh……"

Tong Zhi just woke up like a dream.

"Nothing, just thinking about something."

"What's going on at home?" Xia Zhiguo asked.

Tong Zhi said: "The commander is still the commander, and Jiang is still old and spicy. How did you guess that?"

Xia Zhiguo said: "Although I am the brigade commander now, I used to be an instructor in the battalion."

The conversation changed and he said again: "I saw that you started to worry after you finished the farewell party and made the phone call. Could it be that your wife won't let you go? That's not true! Didn't she come to the teaching team last time? Have I met you before! Your political commissar also arranged for the district civil affairs department to go through the formalities and register, and I think she supported you at that time."

Tong Zhi lowered his head slightly, smiled wryly, and shook his head.

Xia Zhiguo thought about it for a while, and then said: "Hey, it's okay, women! It's normal to worry about being a man. In fact, my wife doesn't agree with me going. Next year, my daughter will take the college entrance examination. I don't know if I can come back on time before the college entrance examination. Alas... that day I said that I would go abroad for peacekeeping, my wife even quarreled with me, saying that my family can't count on me for so many years..."

...

"Then why did you still go?" Tong Zhi asked.

Xia Zhiguo said: "Soldiers take obeying orders as their bounden duty. This is an old saying, but it has never changed."

He didn't say much, but it made Tong Zhi's heart warm when he heard it.

Well, just not right.

The reason is simple and plain, nothing high-profile.

"Actually, my wife doesn't object to me participating in peacekeeping, it's just..." Tong Zhi tilted his head, thinking it was so amazing, and finally smiled: "She's pregnant..."

Xia Zhiguo's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Huh? Congratulations!"

Tong Zhi also sighed, moved his buttocks, and sat up straight: "Commander, I'm actually in a panic. I won't be at home for the next half a year. What's more, when I think of a little baby calling you Dad in the future, And then you also have to make him or her happy, all of a sudden feeling a little scared."

"What are you afraid of?" Xia Zhiguo said: "Normal people have this level, like the first time you learn to shoot a gun, the first time you dive, there is always a first time in everything, who is not afraid for the first time? Now look back , are you still afraid?"

Tong Zhi nodded: "Yes, there is always a first time in life, not to mention this is a happy event."

"Hurry up and take a rest. We have to turn around halfway, and then start flying again. There is nothing to see at night, but the scenery will be good during the day tomorrow, and we will have a look at the scenery at dawn."

After finishing speaking, Xia Zhiguo also put on the blindfold, crossed his hands in front of his chest, leaned on the seat and fell asleep.

Within a few minutes, the snoring started loudly, and he actually fell asleep...

At twelve o'clock at night, the plane landed in W city.

After refueling, take off again.

After the album, I have to fly about 13 kilometers, 14-[-] hours, across nine countries.

This is the longest route.

Tong Zhi took advantage of the opportunity to stop for refueling, stood up and moved his hands and feet in the cabin.

Sitting in the seat for a long time, the legs are prone to numbness.

After taking off again, Tong Zhi also put on the blindfold and began to fall asleep.

This time, I fell asleep really well. When I woke up, the stewardess who passed the aisle said that the scenery above the Aegean Sea was very beautiful.

Tong Zhi immediately opened the hatch cover, and the sunlight came in all of a sudden, which was a bit dazzling.

Frowning, Tong Zhi finally saw the boundless sea blue below, and the unique white Greek-style buildings on the seaside were built along the mountain, densely scattered in a stepped manner at the junction of the mountain and the sea.

"Pretty!"

He couldn't help but let out a heartfelt admiration.
