To put it bluntly, what Ge Zhen needs is not a certain person, but the strength that a certain person can provide.

He needs Lei Xiao because there is Yan Fenghuo and a Mucuon Tiger behind Lei Xiao; He needs Xiao Yuanchao, because Xiao Yuanchao has a red murder army behind him; He needs Long Xiaoqi, because behind Long Xiaoqi is a huge guardian army.

He had to use all his powers, but they didn't come in handy, they had to come in handy at the most critical moments.

"If you want to do it, you have to fight a battle that really stabilized the country from the local area for 20 years. We can't decide the big picture, but we can deter the locals. ”

This is what Ge Zhen said to Lao Yang, and it is also his final thought.

Fight, who won't fight? One is better than the other, and one is better than the other, but what role can this play?

It doesn't play a big role at all, their identity is professional soldiers, and all the battles they fight can't determine the trend of the big picture.

To put it more bluntly, they are all insignificant, and even if they do such a big thing, they will not be able to promote the national strategic process.

Unless it is a large-scale war, but for the time being, there will be no large-scale war, it can only be a local war in a certain region of the world.

For example, the war in Syria is a war that has been played on several fronts, and it is the result of shifting the core battlefield.

"Uncle Yang, please tell the chief, give me someone who can be used, and I will definitely live up to my expectations."

He is now with Lao Yang, sitting in a restaurant, eating small dishes and drinking small wine, chatting here.

"Yes, there is no problem, but as for how the chief decides, I don't know." Lao Yang took a sip of wine and said to Ge Zhen: "There is no way to do the truth last time, we did our best. ”

Last time, Lao Yang led people to bring Ge Zhen back with a black notice, but unfortunately it was not achieved, and it caused some unnecessary trouble on the issue of extradition between the two countries.

"I know." Ge Zhen took a puff of cigarette and said: "In front of the country and individuals, it is necessary to sacrifice individuals to protect the country, and I am willing to be that sacrifice." ”

Ge Zhen is a professional soldier, and when what he does will affect the country's image at the international level and all kinds of cooperation issues, then he can be abandoned.

It sounds cruel, but it's also something that can't be helped.

For example, if he blew up the Statue of Liberty, would the state come forward to protect him? If it is secured, it will directly lead to wars between countries, and peaceful countries will soon enter a period of war.

This is the sacrifice of a soldier, not only to die for the country at any time, but also to become an outcast at any time.

"The Chu River and the Han boundary are clearly distinguished, there are so many sons on the chessboard, and the first to die are all pawns." Lao Yang smiled bitterly: "Why did you lose the pawn first?" It is to protect the overall situation and to win the final victory. ”

Yes, many people can play chess, and when they play chess, they don't care about a few pawns, and they are eaten to ensure the overall deployment and strategy, and to ensure the final victory of the game.

How would a pawn on the chessboard feel if he had life?

The so-called soldiers are these pawns.

"After the pawn crosses the river, he will be unstoppable." Ge Zhen smiled and said, "Uncle Yang, the little pawn only has to protect himself, and then cross the river." ”

Lao Yang nodded, his eyes full of admiration.

A soldier is a soldier, a handsome is a handsome, the two are completely different, it is too normal to lose a pawn to protect the handsome, but as a soldier, you must have the consciousness of a soldier.

To put it more thoroughly, soldiers are those who work the front line.

But if a soldier crosses the river, then the soldier will become a soldier who plays with his life, and he may pose a threat far more than a chariot, a cannon, and a horse.

Therefore, as a pawn, you must be a river pawn.

A soldier is a soldier, a pawn, no matter what rank they wear, they can't change their essence.

Someone has to sacrifice, and when it's time to sacrifice, you have to accept your fate, this is the real soldier.

"Uncle Yang, I'm living more and more ungrounded, as if living in a dream." Ge Zhen raised his head and drank the wine in the wine glass, and said with emotion: "When I was in the second squadron, I felt that I was real, and now I feel more and more unreal. ”

This is how he feels, since leaving the second squadron, his world has entered a space that he never dared to imagine before.

Normal society is realistic, and the world in which Ge Zhen is now is invisible to many people, and it feels unrealistic at all.

"The real society must be supported by a group of people who live in unrealistic darkness, and such people may never return for the rest of their lives." Lao Yang nodded and said: "After a long time, these people don't know what the meaning of their existence is, so they have to go back to reality and take a look." ”

This is an inevitable problem, like Ge Zhen, like Long Xiaoqi, like Xiao Yuanchao, what they do every day is to deal with various national security issues, and they will always feel unreal in this environment all year round.

This is because they originally lived in a normal world, a normal world, a normal life, and a normal society told them that this was true.

After a long time, there will be doubts, after all, their battles are not visible to ordinary people at all.

"I'll have to take a walk." Ge Zhen said with emotion.

"Let's take a look at how the people of our country are living, and see how our country is being built...... Perhaps this will make you more determined and convinced of what you are doing. Lao Yang said: "Now it only takes four hours to train from Beijing to Shanghai, do you know? ”

"Four hours by train? Who have you become? Ge Zhen pouted.

"I didn't know until I sat down." Lao Yang said to Ge Zhen while pouring wine: "Now whether you have money or not, you are thinking about how to eat the next meal, because you are tired of eating all the delicious things, hehe." Now in the era of national entertainment, because leisure needs entertainment, this is our current motherland, and the reform and opening up is only a short thirty or forty years. ”

The changes are too great, Ge Zhen can still remember the shock of "10,000 yuan households" in everyone's hearts when he was a child, but what is 10,000 yuan households now?

"As long as the country and the people are safe, people like us are willing." Ge Zhen smiled: "Someone has to carry a weight forward and sacrifice everything." ”

"When you come back, take a good walk and take a look, you are also human, you are all human, you have to tell yourself an answer-"

"What answer?"

"Worth it or not!"

“……”

This is the question that every soldier has to face, and the answer they are looking for, is all the effort worth it or not?

Worldview, values, outlook on life...... There are all of them, including soldiers.

Why do soldiers have to defend their families and defend the country, and protect the lights of thousands of players? Not because they were given the name "Bing", but because they thought that all the effort and all the sacrifices were worth it.

Is it great? No, boring ordinariness is the true meaning of soldiers.
