Hearing the shout, Zhou Hai, who was thinking, was a little puzzled, got up and walked towards the door.

When I opened the door, I saw a middle-aged man, with a dark complexion, which seemed to be due to long-term sun exposure, and his body was straight and upright, revealing a faint solemnity and seriousness.

"You are?" Zhou Hai looked at the man in front of him, feeling a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it.

"Haha, Xiaohai, I haven't seen you for so many years, I didn't expect you to grow so tall, do you remember your uncle? I used to take you to amusement parks. The middle-aged man in front of him saw Zhou Hai, smiled heartily, and said.

When Zhou Hai heard the description of the middle-aged man in front of him, a memory suddenly appeared in his mind: "Are you, Uncle Ge?" ”

Ge Haiping, Zhou Pingyuan's best friend in the past, belongs to the category of siblings.

After the recruit training camp, he was assigned to the Iron Fist Division of the Southwest Theater of Operations, and became an engineer who digs trenches and fortifications with shovels all day long.

Ge Haiping was admitted to the Lianda Naval Academy, known as the 'cradle of the Chinese Navy', and became a member of the Chinese Navy.

Although the two revolutionized in different places, the relationship did not fall, but became deeper and deeper like an adult wine.

After Zhou Hai was born, Ge Haiping would come to see him every time he was on vacation and take Zhou Hai to play around.

Zhou Hai doesn't know much about this Uncle Ge, he only knows that he is a good person.

Good?

Well, this is a good guy card that belongs to Zhou Hai.

There is no way, Ge Haiping comes to his house at an interval of about once every three or four years, and he can only belong to the category of good people.

It has been four years since Ge Haiping came to his house last time, when Zhou Hai was fourteen years old.

If it weren't for him describing himself, Zhou Hai really couldn't remember it.

"Just remember me, haha, by the way, what about your dad?" Ge Haiping smiled heartily, and his bronze cheeks, which were illuminated by the perennial sun, showed a kind color.

Looking at Ge Haiping, who was looking forward to it, Zhou Hai shook his head lightly, sighed inwardly, and decided to tell him the truth: "My dad is gone." ”

"Your dad is gone?"

Ge Haiping smiled, but when he looked at Zhou Hai's slightly sad and sad expression, he immediately reacted, as if he had been struck by lightning, he was stunned in place, trembling slightly, and his eyes showed an unbelievable expression: "Where are you going...... You mean?! ”

Zhou Hai smiled, opened the door, turned around and walked into the hall, and looked at the wall.

Ge Haiping clenched his left and right hands, his body trembled slightly, followed Zhou Hai's steps, entered the hall, and a photo with black and white as the main color came into view.

With a sharp gaze as sharp as a knife, staring at Zhou Pingyuan's kind smile in the photo, Ge Haiping was a little overwhelmed, a little unacceptable, and a little dazed.

Let's go.

The best friend of his life, just like that, gone?

"Leukemia." Zhou Hai looked at Zhou Pingyuan's smile, with the same free and easy smile on his face, and said softly.

Ge Haiping's body trembled, and he closed his eyes gently, but two crystal clear tears still burst out of his eyes, sliding down his cheeks, his throat surged, and he took a deep breath: "When?" ”

"A year ago." Zhou Hai said calmly.

"A year ago...... Brother, I didn't expect that I wouldn't be able to give you one last ride. Ge Haiping stretched out his slightly trembling right hand, took out a bag of China from his arms, and lit a shot for himself, his eyes were moist, and he whispered to himself.

Looking at Ge Haiping, who seemed to be a little broken, Zhou Hai's mood also fluctuated a little, shook his head, turned around and left the hall gently, and came to the outside of the cold wind.

There is no resurrection from the dead.

Zhou Hai has accepted this result and is also a lot more bearish.

In the first month of the year, the snow is fluttering, and this year's Rongcheng is exceptionally cold.

……

After a while, Ge Haiping also came out of the hall, his back was as straight as a cloud pine, he had already collected his emotions, felt out the soft China and handed it to Zhou Hai: "Xiaohai, do you want to smoke?" ”

"No, Uncle Ge." Zhou Hai shook his head slightly.

Cigarettes and alcohol can paralyze the nerves, and that feeling makes Zhou Hai dislike.

Ge Haiping lit a shot for himself, spit out a white smoke ring, took a deep breath, and said to Zhou Hai: "Xiaohai, what are your plans for the future?" I'm your father's best brother, and I can say whatever I think. ”

Zhou Hai's mother Yang Qian has already passed away, which Ge Haiping knows, but today's news of Zhou Pingyuan's death is like a bolt from the blue, almost making Ge Haiping collapse.

Zhou Hai is the only child of Yang Qian and Zhou Pingyuan.

Ge Haiping was in the hall and had already made a decision to do his best to cultivate Zhou Hai.

Zhou Hai was a little surprised and responded: "I'm going to take the military academy exam." ”

"Military Academy, how are the grades, I have a relationship with the Lianda Naval Ship Academy, you can take the exam there, your Uncle Ge will definitely satisfy you." Ge Haiping had expectation in his eyes, his face was dignified, and he said with a straight face: "If you want to take the army officer school, you can do it." ”

The words are confident and calm, without arrogance, as if they were simply stating a fact.

"......" Zhou Hai looked at Ge Haiping, who was confident and dignified, and didn't know what to say.

Become an army that digs trenches and fortifications all day long?

Or is it the navy that plays in the water all day long?

Well, in comparison, he still likes decent pilots.

"I'm going to go to the Air Force Aviation University." Zhou Hai exhaled a breath of turbid air, and the hot air quickly condensed into a white mist in the cold environment.

"Lu ......" Ge Haiping nodded lightly, thoughtful, and then immediately reacted, looking at Zhou Hai with a strange expression: "Air, Air Force Aviation University?" ”

Air force?

That group of birdmen who fly in the sky all day long, boasting of being the benchmark of the army in the new era, are so angry that no one looks down on them except the Strategic Rocket Force, and they have been competing with their navy for military spending and resources?

As for the big brother of the army and the strategic rocket army, these two bigwigs are the existence that makes everyone lose their temper.

As a huge country with a border of 22,000 kilometers and territorial borders with 14 surrounding countries, this geopolitical situation determines the importance of prioritizing the development of the army.

The big brother of the army, who has received the most resources and funds over the years, can be called the landlord of the four major arms.

As for the Strategic Rocket Force, its predecessor was the Second Artillery Corps, which seems to have been separated from the Army, and controls the most terrifying armed force in the whole of China and even in the world - the nuclear bomb.

The two masters are both unprovoked existences.

When Zhou Hai saw Ge Haiping's expression, he was a little puzzled: "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, Xiaohai, are you sure? The pilot physical examination is the strictest among all arms, and if you can't pass the physical examination, even if you have good grades, it is useless. Ge Haiping was a little embarrassed, and immediately changed the topic and said seriously.
