Veteran never die

Chapter 411 How about we engage in plantation in Djibouti?
0415 How about we engage in planting in Djibouti?
After a week-long deep-sea voyage, a naval formation successfully arrived at the port-type comprehensive support base of the Chinese People's Liberation Army in Djibouti.

During the long voyage, Wang Liang experienced various discomforts in his body.

Yes, Wang Liang is no longer that strong young man.

At the age of 96, he should also be old.

He has too much to worry about, and he has too many work schedules.

He was feeling unwell, and Wang Liang didn't tell others, not even Sun Weimin.

Because Wang Liang didn't want to miss this opportunity to board the first overseas base of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.

Even if he falls on this hot land, Wang Liang thinks it is worth it, because his life has been fulfilled.

Before landing, Wang Liang and Sun Weimin replaced the special armbands of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Support Base in Djibouti and the chest badges of overseas troops.

The chest badge pattern of overseas garrisons is composed of military emblems, five stars, shields, Great Wall crenels and olive branches.

The special armband pattern of the support base in Djibouti consists of the national flag, olive branch and the Chinese and English names of the "Guarantee Base of the Chinese People's Liberation Army in Djibouti".

This means that the troops of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Support Base in Djibouti are an important force for maintaining world peace and stability.

As soon as the chest badge and armband were replaced, Wang Liang shared the joy with all the netizens.

Comment area.

"The Chinese People's Liberation Army stationed troops overseas, this word makes people feel excited. Now it is only Djibouti, and there will be more in the future... A veteran who has retired for 20 years is feeling excited."

"It's amazing, my country! It turns out that foreign countries have begun to have garrisons."

"Protect the base for Djibouti, like it!"

"What a handsome armband!"

"To demonstrate the good image of our army as a mighty, civilized, and peaceful army, and to build a world-class army."

"I was very excited when I saw this armband."

The base troops sent a full-time officer to introduce to Wang Liang: "Boss, our base mainly provides supplies for the army and navy, and provides logistical support for the navy's Gulf of Aden escort formation and African peacekeepers."

"The main task of the current base forces is to provide support for the ships of the escort formation, to provide support and corresponding support for our troops in South Sudan, Congo (Kinshasa), Mali and other UN peacekeeping mission areas, and to evacuate overseas Chinese from relevant areas that may arise. The mission provides personnel resident and guarantee support, etc. At the same time, it also assumes the responsibility of ensuring the security of the base itself.”

"En." Wang Liangliang nodded, and then signaled to Sun Weimin to temporarily interrupt the live broadcast, and wanted to talk about something confidential.

The officer further introduced to Wang Liang: "Our base has a comprehensive support squadron, guard and reconnaissance squadron, escort ship squadron, helicopter squadron, intelligence and electronic communication squadron, health care squadron, and base logistics squadron."

"The comprehensive support squadron is mainly responsible for the supply, support, and maintenance of naval ships at berthing bases, including the support and maintenance of ship-borne helicopters, drones and other aircraft. In addition, it is to meet the needs of our peacekeeping troops in Africa. Guarantee and maintenance requirements for specialized equipment and technical personnel. Maintenance of base docks, equipment, etc.”

Although he was not quite used to the tropical desert climate, Wang Liang felt a little dizzy under the high temperature of nearly forty degrees Celsius.

But even so, Wang Liang still listened carefully, making notes in his heart.

The officer continued: "The guard and reconnaissance squadron is a unit that protects the safety of the base and its personnel. Together with the base escort ship squadron, it protects the safety of the pier and nearby waterways. It also protects the safety of other personnel that need to be protected in accordance with the agreement between China and Kyrgyzstan."

"The main duty of the escort ship squadron is to protect the safety of the base wharf and related waterways. At the request of our army's escort formation, it will go out to relevant sea areas to perform security and defense tasks."

"Well, okay, I understand. I heard that the officers and soldiers of our base planted a lot of vegetables and fruits in this desert?" Wang Liang asked.

"Yes, Chief. I'll take you to see it." When it comes to planting, the officer's interest is particularly high.

Because the Djibouti desert is full of volcanic rocks and desert scorched earth, and the tropical desert climate is dry and almost rainless throughout the year, agricultural experts concluded that planting cannot be done here.

However, after the Chinese naval officers and soldiers came to Djibouti, they moved rocks and reefs with their hands, scooping up soil and holding sand.Repeated planting, repeated death and repeated species.

It turned the desert into a big oasis.

melon.

watermelon.

cucumber.

Cherry tomatoes.

tomato.

chili.

lentils.

loofah.

coffee beans.

Seeing and remembering the fruits of labor of the officers and soldiers, Wang Liang was very happy.

Planting is very meaningful. In a foreign country, in the hot and hot Africa, Chinese soldiers can eat some self-sufficient green vegetables. What a cool thing.

In addition, life overseas is relatively monotonous and boring, and the disciplinary regulations stipulate that officers and soldiers of the base cannot go out at will.

So planting has become an integral part of the amateur cultural life of Chinese soldiers.

Between training and performing tasks, I felt a sense of accomplishment when I went to the vegetable field to see the vegetables and fruits I planted by myself grew up and served on the table.

Wang Liang could imagine the joy of the officers and soldiers.

Because when I was working on the island in the last century, I also led the officers and soldiers to plant on the barren land.

Looking at the scene at the base in Djibouti, Wang Liang couldn't help contacting the Nansha islands and reefs he had visited a few years ago.

Wang Liang said with deep emotion: "Whether it is a high mountain island or a foreign country, our Chinese navy will plant it wherever we go. There are more than 150 million tropical plants on the Nansha islands and reefs! There are also 22 square meters of green space. .”

"Since the 90s of the last century, three-defense vegetable plots and four-defense vegetable plots have been successively built on Nansha islands and reefs. Planting vegetables has become a part of the life of officers and soldiers guarding the reefs. Mustard, peppers from Sichuan, scallions from Shandong... The small vegetable garden includes seasonal vegetables from all over the country."

"Okay, in Africa, in Djibouti, in this hot land. I saw the shadow of the Nansha islands and reefs back then. Good!" Wang Liang said with a smile.

Because Wang Liang knows that today's Nansha islands and reefs have changed from small vegetable fields to large ecological farms.

Wang Liang knew that in a few years, the Djibouti base would be the same as the Nansha islands and reefs.

Every vegetable is a nail rooted there, like a sailor, tough and clean, not afraid of wind and rain, wind and sun.

In the long and difficult years, give a piece of sweetness.

In the comment area, the vegetable garden in Djibouti made it difficult for netizens to calm down, and it also aroused the nostalgia of many veterans.

"The first reaction is to grow big watermelons in Djibouti! What a cool thing. Big watermelons!!! Blessed are the officers and soldiers of the base!"

"It seems to be a soldier again, envious, jealous."

"Our brother Bing's planting talent is really amazing. They actually greened the deserted land of the Djibouti support base so well. It's amazing."

"The great talent of the Chinese is to grow vegetables! The vegetables and fruits purchased in Djibouti are shipped from Ethiopia. The fact that the Chinese Navy can grow vegetables in Djibouti will make the locals marvel at a miracle!"

"I remember the outpost in the Yellow Sea where I served as a soldier, and I remember that the rape I planted was sent to the cooking team, which is deeply etched in my memory."

"This is the spirit of Nanniwan, fighting and producing, and passing on the will of revolutionary soldiers! Learn from the PLA, salute!"
