111. Cao Fang's hint
Even if you don't mention Xie Wuxing's glorious quotations that are dirty, the words related to him, Cao Fang will talk endlessly, and between him and Shen Yun, there is no crampedness when he just walked out of the barracks.
From his mouth, Shen Yun learned that Xie Wuxing was actually not a Chinese citizen before joining the Space Force. His great-grandfather traveled across the ocean to France to study during the Qing Dynasty, and after completing his studies, he planned to return to China, but he fell seriously ill before leaving and had to stay. After recovering, he married a Chinese girl who took care of him during his illness, which was considered a blessing in disguise, and finally returned with a beauty.
Because his wife and father-in-law settled in France to practice medicine, the great-grandfather dispelled the idea of returning to China, so generation after generation, the Xie family branched out in France.
However, the Xie family has a tradition, although they live in a foreign country, the marriage relationship is all connected within the Chinese nation, and none of the descendants intermarry with foreigners, so they have also formed an unwritten family rule: if the door is closed, even if they enter China, all family members must speak Chinese, otherwise adults will be blinded by others, and children will play their brains to adults.
No wonder Xie Wuxing couldn't hear the slightest exotic accent when he opened his mouth to speak, it turned out to be due to his fine family tradition. Listening further, Shen Yun was even more in awe of this grumpy old man.
Cao Fang said: "Xie Wuxing entered the French National Army at the age of eighteen and was attached to the Second Air Regiment of the Tactical Air Force. He studied diligently, laid a solid foundation, and after a year of enlistment, he was able to independently fly the Mirage fighter to carry out missions. At that time, France had withdrawn from NATO's military integration organization a few years ago, and the country was in a period of major readjustment of its defense policy and armed forces. Because of his bravery and outstanding performance, Xie Wuxing was selected to join the French peacekeeping force in the United Nations, and the following year he was stationed in Lebanon with UNIFIL. ”
"It turns out that Commander Xie, like General Robert, also has a United Nations background!" Shen Yun said with emotion.
Cao Fang nodded slightly, "Not to mention, that experience also became the most glorious years in his military career, laying a good foundation for him to enter the Space Force and become the head of the first regiment of China." On the battlefield in Lebanon, he is said to have fought hand-to-hand combat with more than a dozen Israeli soldiers, and even flew fighter jets straight to ground targets, ejecting his seat only at the last second before the plane touched the ground. During the war, he was deaf several times, and once he was blind, and now his legs are full of steel nails, and his body has more scars than he can count. ”
Perhaps it is precisely because of the military soul that is as strong as Mount Tai that Xie Wuxing will cherish his father Shen Yunhong heroically, and when he officially welcomes himself, he can let go of the high and clear of all the emptiness and take the initiative to shake hands with himself, right?
Shen Yun quietly looked at the hand that had been shaken by Xie Wuxing, as if the strength that the sick old man should not have, and passed into the palm of his hand through the solid photon camouflage uniform.
But after thinking about it, she was puzzled and asked Cao Fang: "Since he is a French citizen, how can Xie Tuan join the Chinese Space Force?" ”
Cao Fang smiled, the meaning of the smile became stronger and stronger, and he pointed to the national flag badge on his left chest and said nothing.
Now Shen Yun understood that in order to represent China in the battle against aliens, Xie Wuxing transferred his nationality back to China after his great-grandfather became a French citizen a hundred years ago.
Next, it was finally the turn of the two of them to talk about the topic that neither of them wanted to mention. Cao Fang lowered his head and used his fingers to flick a thin crack in the rock, and suddenly returned from a talkative state to a cramped one.
In the end, it was Shen Yun who broke the silence and asked gloomily: "Then Xie Tuan, is he very sick?" ”
Cao Fang grabbed a small stone in his hand, threw it out again, and waited for a "pop" sound before he replied miserably: "Lao Xie, this person, everything is good, but there is a little bit of badness, he can't control himself." It was because of this only shortcoming that he ended up dying. ”
According to Cao Fang, Xie Wuxing has never drunk a drop of alcohol in his life. As an air force that is always on call, and may be dragged out of the mission even if he falls asleep, he believes that this is the self-discipline that a qualified soldier should have. But he smokes, and the average person has two packs of cigarettes a day, and when he is in a nervous state, he can often smoke three packs a day.
It is said that during an air strike against terrorists, the tail of the fighter he piloted caught fire and he had to escape urgently, but when his parachute touched the ground, the umbrella cloth actually burned, and it turned out that he lit a cigarette in mid-air, and his mouth was not clamped when he landed on the ground, and the cigarette butt fell into the umbrella cloth.
As for that stinky temper, not to mention, there is a joke circulating everywhere he stays: at any time of the day, if you don't hear Xie Wuxing smashing the table and smashing the chair and shouting wildly, it means that either he is asleep, or he is lying in the woman's arms enjoying tenderness, in short, these two possibilities do not conflict.
A year ago, when Xie Wuxing was 67 years old, he was diagnosed with advanced liver cancer. The interstellar electronic spy stole a lot of cancer treatment technology from Proton Man's space station, and although it was not the most advanced and far less effective than the chip that was fed into the resurrected man's brain, it at least ensured that his condition would not worsen.
However, Xie Wuxing decisively refused this treatment. His reason is that stealing the other party's science and technology to defeat the invaders of the dog day is a tactic to return the other way, but to use the enemy's strength to save his own life is a cowardly act, it is nonsense, he would rather die of illness than get any medicine related to the dark star, otherwise how can he be qualified to lead a group of tens of thousands of space force soldiers?
After listening to Cao Fang's words, Shen Yun didn't know what to say. In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Guan Yunchang can scrape his bones and cure poison without changing his face, and the contemporary Xie Wuxing will never be inferior to similar heroes. But in addition to admiration, Shen Yun still has reluctance in her heart, she only hates that the time she has known this old man is too short, and she may have to say goodbye forever after two sides in a hurry.
After talking about Xie Wuxing, the two had been sitting on the rocky beach for a long time, Shen Yun thought that Cao Fang would get up and walk back, but who knew that he had always sat still, only paddling around on the ground with one foot, and seemed to stop talking.
This person has always been decisive in killing, although he is not as strong as Xie Wuxing, but he also has a straightforward temperament that dares to speak and act, and dares to take responsibility, at this time, he suddenly showed the hesitation of an ordinary person, Shen Yun asked with a smile: "The main purpose of Captain Cao inviting me out this time is not to introduce Xie Tuan's life, right?" If it is an important matter related to my mission to the United Nations, I may wish to speak up. ”
Cao Fang scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Well, I really asked you to guess correctly." This one...... Before I came to you, I called the Military Commission on the American side and asked General Robert not to rush to leave after meeting with you, but to take you to see some things first. ”
