"At the invitation of the United Nations and with the approval of the XX Academy and the Central Committee, the Chinese military has decided to send an 800-strong peacekeeping infantry battalion to South Sudan to carry out peacekeeping missions. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis is the second time that China has sent purely combat troops out of the country to carry out a mission. The last time a combat force was sent to a peacekeeping operation was in 2014, also to Sudan. For the first time, our peacekeeping troops will be transported by the Navy's Type 071 dock landing ship to Africa. The action was followed by a new batch of escort formations of our navy that went to escort ships in the Persian Gulf......"

This is a relatively spacious cabin, which is relatively simple in all layouts, and has a military color. Satellite television news showed that a middle-aged military officer in a green military uniform and a blue beret had turned off the television. He was tall and strong, with a star on his shoulder, and he was a major general.

"Come on, come on, Xiaobai, kill me with me." The major general said with a smile.

The young naval officer called Xiaobai was sharp-eyed, handsome, and extremely attractive, so he could only make a bitter face at this time and said, "Chief, my surname is not suitable for adding a small one in front." ”

The major general laughed even louder, patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you don't call you Xiaobai, do you call you Lao Bai?" You are only twenty-eight years old, and my old Zhao is more than twenty years older than you. Haha, there are no outsiders here, just call me Uncle Zhao, isn't that what you called when you were young? ”

The young man said helplessly: "When I was young, you were my uncle, and now you are still my chief, how can you be the same." ”

The rear admiral squeezed his eyebrows and said: "You are the navy, I am the army, they are not subordinate to each other, besides, I still expect you to be my son-in-law." ”

The young man hurriedly shook his head: "Uncle Zhao, don't look at jokes, Su Qiu is my child, so I will treat her as my sister." ”

"Haha, my sister can also develop it!" The major general obviously sold his daughter very comfortably, and it could be seen that he was very optimistic about the young man in front of him.

The two put the chess board and began to fight, the young man looked quite serious, but in fact he understood very well that this major general named Zhao Daling was a famous stinky chess basket in the courtyard back then, and he was always ridiculed, but the more he didn't play well, the more he liked to play, and the young man himself was not a chess master, but he could win Zhao Daling no matter how he played, and he usually let this uncle play chess.

Zhao Daling and Bai Nan are the soldiers on the fleet that went to Africa for peacekeeping as reported in the news. Major General Zhao Daling has deep seniority, and he also participated in the training of special forces back then, and is known as the general who can command special operations in the army. This time, he participated in the UN peacekeeping operation as a Chinese soldier, and with his rank, the control of more than 800 Chinese peacekeepers was somewhat exceeded, and Guy Zhao Daling was actually the commander-in-chief of the UN peacekeeping force this time, responsible for the command of all the blue helmets in the theater.

And Bai Nan, who is dressed in a white naval uniform and has the rank of lieutenant colonel, is now one of the youngest lieutenant colonels in the navy. He was born in a military family, and this time he did not go to South Sudan for peacekeeping, he was actually an operational staff officer of the Navy's escort formation, and he also served in the Navy's armament department before.

Bai Nan is a typical red three generations and three military generations. His grandfather participated in the revolution in the thirties, experienced the Long March, the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and the War of Liberation, and later followed General Wang Zhen to pacify the northwest, and was a lieutenant general when he retired. His father was also dedicated to the army, and at the end of the 70s, he participated in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam as a small soldier, and lost two fingers, and later became an officer, and he is now a major general.

However, Bai Nan was a little rebellious and did not join the army according to his family's wishes, but was admitted to the Maritime University of Technology at the age of 17 and became a naval officer reserve student. After graduating from the Marine Engineering University at the age of 21, Bai Nan went to the ship for 2 years for internship, and because of his outstanding performance, he was sent to the Royal Naval College in Dartmouth, England for further study, and completed his doctorate in only three years, and was extremely optimistic about his British classmates and teachers. After returning to China, he went to the Navy Command, the Navy Armament Department, and other units, and two years later he was sent to the grassroots fleet as a staff officer.

Bai Nan's intelligence is well-known throughout the military compound, not only because he can complete his master's degree in three years, but also because he has good language skills. 28-year-old Lieutenant Colonel Bai Nan is able to use French, Spanish, Russian and Japanese, in addition to the two basic languages of Chinese and English, and master six languages. This ability alone is also extremely favored by the top brass of the Navy, and in the military diplomacy of the Navy, it is particularly fond of using Bainan.

When the escort group visits Saudi Arabia, it will deliver an extremely advanced large trimaran missile boat ordered by Saudi Arabia to Saudi Arabia, and take a few photos to make a show by the way.

If a young naval officer like him with a background, education, and brains had not made mistakes, his future achievements would have been stronger than those of his parents and grandparents.

Playing chess, Bai Nan smiled and said: "After walking for more than a day, we will be able to reach Saudi Arabia, we will deliver the missile boats directly to the Saudis, and then the escort formation will escort the Qilianshan and Changmao to Djibouti, and then go directly to South Sudan." ”

The two cores of this escort formation are the Type 071 dock landing ship Qilianshan, which transports peacekeeping troops, and the giant ship Changmao. The Changmao is a self-built super transport ship built by China in line with the idea that it can be quickly converted into military use in peacetime and wartime. Now the Changmao ship is carrying more than 2,000 Chinese workers from China Railway and China State Construction, who are going to Africa to build a new railway across the entire African continent that China has just taken. The ship also carried 200 Chinese volunteers to Africa, part of China's soft power export.

While the two were chatting and playing chess, suddenly the voice of the fleet commander Deng Xiyi came from the ship's radio: "I am the captain Deng Xiyi, a sudden storm will hit our fleet, please prepare all comrades." ”

Hearing this broadcast, Bai Nan was stunned at first, "We are in the trade wind belt, and there should be very few storms, how can there be a storm without warning at all?" ”

Zhao Daling was not worried about this, he smiled and said: "The Qilianshan is a big guy of more than 20,000 tons, can the storm shake our warship?" ”

Bai Nan knew that what Zhao Daling said made sense, but he always felt a strong uneasiness in his heart, as if something bad was about to happen.

……

"Junza, it's time to get on board." The adjutant beside him reminded Xue Yue.

Xue Yue looked very calm, he stood up, now he was just going from one small island to another, the mainland that was originally his hometown had been occupied by the Jing army. The only way left for him was to go to the small island called Formosa and be a failed sojourner, perhaps for the rest of his life.

"Let's go." Xue Yue said, taking his own steps, he was somewhat vain, and he didn't know how much strength he had used to take this step. Xue Yue didn't want to look back, and he didn't want to go to the sad thing of going to Guoyuan Township anymore.

This wharf is bustling, everywhere is busy boarding the ship and loading goods, the army has already hit, there is not much time left for them, most of the defeated troops here are defeated by the Guofu army defending Qiongzhou, Xue Yue confidently built the three Boling defense lines, in front of the Siye and Qiongya columns are vulnerable, the soldiers of the Guofu army have no fighting spirit, and Xue Yue is also a famous general.

His subordinates are basically tired, the huge continent is gone, how can the Qiongya in this projectile land be defended. An even more pessimistic view is that Taiwan is only more than 200 kilometers away from the mainland, and the Americans have already shown their attitude of abandoning Chang Kaishen.

Most of the soldiers of the Guofu Army guarding Hainan were Cantonese under the former command of Chen Jitang. Now the end of KMT's defeat is obvious, they are just some grass soldiers, they are absolutely unwilling to live and die with Chang Kaishen, and even many people want to be sent back to their hometowns after surrendering and reuniting with their relatives in their hometowns. As for following Xue Yue to flee to Taiwan, not everyone is enthusiastic.

Xue Yue naturally knew something about the situation of his subordinate generals, and he couldn't help but sigh: "If you start a new game, what will it be like?" ”

At this time, he already knew that the military defeat of the Guofu army was only a symptom, and the party's organization, control and mobilization power over the people enabled them to exert their strength far superior to the Guofu army, and the defeat of the Guofu army still lost the hearts of the people in the final analysis!

Xue Yue looked at the sky, it was overcast, and it seemed that it was about to rain, just like his mood.

……

The Three Treasures Eunuch Zheng He and his deputy Hong Baoli stood at the bow of this huge treasure ship, this treasure ship is the ultimate embodiment of the shipbuilding craftsmanship of the Ming shipwright, a hard schooner, can build a displacement of more than 5,000 tons, which shows the skill of the mastery.

"Sail for three more days, about to be able to South Vietnam, the fleet is a little replenishment, we can return to China, although this time to the Western Ocean did not complete His Majesty's request to find that person, but to connect with many countries in the Western Ocean, carry forward my Ming national prestige, and bring back countless rare and exotic treasures, it can be regarded as an achievement." Zheng He was quite complacent with his hands behind his back, which was obviously an affirmation of his many years of running around and working hard in the sun and rain on the sea.

Hong Bao also said with a smile: "The bloody BMW of the Western Regions specially purchased by Your Majesty will definitely make Long Yan happy." In the past, the Han Dynasty for this big horse, did not hesitate to work on the expedition, today I have this heavenly horse, if it can be properly cultivated, improve the horse breed, the other day to the Mongolian Tartar, I Ming should also have Shenwu cavalry, invincible! ”

Zheng He nodded, and sighed again: "This Western matter, we are entrusted by the emperor, the glory is very great, and although we have increased our knowledge, but after all, I am far away from the land, hard and tired, and the road is difficult and dangerous. ”

The two stopped talking, watching the bow of the ship push away the waves, as if they were looking forward to returning home. In the distance, thick black clouds were looming over the vast fleet of sailing ships.
