Quick Travel: From Beginner to Master

Autumn [-].

In the quiet valley, the clear river flows.

Thousands of miles away, under the same sky, the Battle of Stalingrad, known as "the most brutal street fighting in the history of human war," was underway.

According to incomplete statistics, during the brutal defense battle that lasted six and a half months, the average survival time of soldiers on the battlefield was no more than 9 minutes, and the average survival time of officers was less than three days.

This battle is of great significance and was one of the turning points of World War II.

After this battle, the D Army switched from offense to defense, giving the global anti-fascist allies a chance to breathe and adjust their status.

This year was also the most difficult year for country Z to fight against the r army.

The enemy was frantically organizing raids, but in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, a province that supplied food to the whole country encountered a severe drought.

A terrible famine began.

The country of Z is struggling to survive in the precarious situation. Forty million people work together, and the military and civilians join forces to fight the enemy.

They will defend the territory of their motherland and never retreat, vowing to continue the Chinese bloodline!

As the day to visit relatives approached, Ling Liang asked for leave one day in advance and left the institute on Sunday to go back to visit Mrs. Tanya.

He first went to the post office in Cambridge County.

Ling Liang took out the bulging envelope from his pocket and handed it to the post office staff. Ling Liang watched him neatly put a stamp on it.

The envelope contained four-fifths of Ling Liang's salary.

In turbulent times, promotion is very fast. As long as the contribution made is large enough, a straight rise in status is not a dream.

Ling Liang is now the third-in-command of the institute, second only to base director and mechanics expert Roberts.

Many of the weapons used by Country Y on the battlefield were designed, manufactured or improved by them.

The wages of scarce talents are naturally high, especially in today's war situation.

Countries almost break their heads in the competition for scientific and technological talents. Beauty and money are all in the battle. There is always something that can lure people away.

Country Y is extremely cautious at this juncture and does not dare to be stingy at all. The salary is generous.

The money Ling Liang donated was enough to cover the expenses of an ordinary family for a whole year, but it was only a drop in the bucket for areas suffering from famine.

At this time, he finally understood deeply the feelings of the patriotic poet Qu Yuan before he threw himself into the river - he took a long breath to cover his tears and lamented the hardships of the people's livelihood.

How strong perseverance do the people of country Z have to survive this period of darkness before dawn?

How do they encourage themselves so that they can grow as tenaciously as weeds and continue to thrive amid internal and external troubles?

The wheels of history have rolled over countless corpses. When you open a book of allusions, a truth is hidden between the lines.

That is - no matter when and where a war breaks out, the people who suffer the most and are always pitiful are the common people.

After paying the postage, Ling Liang slowly walked out of the small town post office.

Private Antoine was chatting up a pretty girl. When he saw that Ling Liang had finished his work, he immediately handed a large bouquet of wild flowers he picked randomly on the road to the woman opposite.

With a playful smile, he said to her, "Let's make an appointment another day." Antoine rushed over to protect his boss.

He stood beside Ling Liang, looking around warily, it seemed like that.

But Ling Liang knew that Antoine was pretending to be serious, and he was probably thinking about what he was going to have for dinner at the moment.

Such a person who likes to be lazy and whose favorite hobbies in life are drinking and looking at beautiful women would be sent by the military to protect his personal safety. If it were an ordinary person, he would have gone crazy.

But Ling Liang didn't.

He didn't care and thought it was pretty good.

If possible, he hoped that Antoine would not be transferred and would remain his police officer.

Ling Liang is not afraid of being attacked by various forces. They can't catch him and they don't have the ability to kill him.

And Antoine never asked about his personal affairs. He believed whatever he said, and he would not verify it because he was too lazy.

It is rare for Ling Liang to have such a trouble-free security guard.

He sends things to country Z every month. For nearly two years, Antoine has never asked about it.

Ling Liang asked him to wait outside, but he wasn't curious, so he went out and waited. He made up a random excuse to fool him, and he seemed to believe it.

This is actually a kind of survival wisdom.

After all, there is a saying that "he who does not know is not guilty" and another saying that "the more you know, the faster you die."

No matter what, Ling Liang was still very grateful to Antoine. His intentional or unintentional neglect made many things much simpler.

To express his gratitude, Ling Liang paid for Antoine to drink at the best pub in the town.

Antoine hesitated for a moment.

Although he likes to drink, his drinking capacity is not very good. If he gets drunk, who will protect his boss?

But the words of rejection came to his lips and returned to his stomach in a roundabout way. Antoine had already found a reason to convince himself.

Anyway, they are much more powerful than him, so what danger could he face if he leaves for a while?

Why don't you just have a drink? How many things will be delayed?He will be careful this time and will definitely not get drunk.

Antoine happily walked towards the tavern.

He is a down-to-earth "optimist" who advocates the idea that life is short and he should enjoy himself in the moment.

As soon as his salary is paid, he will spend it all, tightening his belt in the last few days of the month.

Antoine has no habit of saving. The world is in such a mess. He thinks it is very funny to save money.

I don’t know if I’ll be alive tomorrow, so what’s the use of saving so much money?

It is better to live every day as if it is the last day of your life, spend a lot of money and buy happiness.

Especially since all his relatives are dead, leaving him alone in the world. If he doesn't squander all the money quickly, is he still waiting for the government to take over his inheritance after his death?

Following the soothing sound of folk songs, Antoine came to the tavern, leaned by the door and watched the dancers dancing in the crowd for a while.

Then he strode in and shouted to the boss, who was staring at the dancer, "Give me a glass of tequila."

After drinking a glass of wine, Antoine narrowed his eyes with satisfaction.

He could feel that his boss Elton was hiding something from him, but he didn't know what it was.

But so what?

Antoine didn't bother to get to the bottom of it, he didn't care what the truth was.

He is just a low-level soldier, and he has no control over the affairs of those big shots.
