Forbidden City of Heze + Dalufei

Zillow felt a little nervous when he stood again in the large bright and quiet room, where the civilian officer told him to wait and then left.

The bookcase and the desk are made of high-quality sandalwood with some history. The mellow and dry fragrance makes the air feel warm. On it are some old books with sheepskin covers and a slender quill standing upright. .The color of the sofa chair at the back is dark and stable, without gorgeous decorations, but the flexible and delicate vine carving on the backrest is a symbol of its noble origin, which looks warm and moist under the light of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.

The leader of the Eastern Alliance for decades, her benevolence, democracy and glory can be appreciated almost in this room.

Just as he was slowly relaxing and began to immerse himself in this kind of lazy afternoon atmosphere, the door creaked open, and Yi Xu walked in with a few documents in his hand, his figure was outlined by the tough military uniform. majesty.

"Good afternoon, sir." Zi Luo immediately straightened his back and stood at attention, saluting neatly, "Zi Luo reports to you."

"Hello," Yixu replied, walking quickly to the desk and sitting down, tidying up the messy books on the desk, as if he hadn't recovered from the busy rhythm just now, he nodded at him in a hurry Head, "We meet again, please sit down."

With an inherent shyness on the boy's face, he replied humbly, "Thank you, I'll just stand."

"You learned the rules quickly," Yixuan stopped and looked at him thoughtfully, and then asked, "I've been here for more than ten days, how do you feel? Is there anything you're not used to?"

"No, thanks to your care, I think everything is fine."

Hearing his cautious tone, Yixuan finally couldn't help laughing, "Relax kid, you don't have to be so restrained everywhere, I know that Dalufei's class system is strict and there are many rules, but this is in Heze , in addition to public places, we can sit down and have a cup of tea and chat together, what do you think?"

Zi Luo didn't answer, as if he wasn't used to this kind of attitude, he looked at the other party's sincere face, as if he was oppressed by this gentle atmosphere, he nodded reluctantly.

So Yixu stood up, asked him to sit on the comfortable sofa beside him, made two cups of black tea and brought them over. Qi Luo suddenly became more embarrassed. He looked at the delicate white porcelain cup with golden chain link in front of him, I don't know what to say to the officer in this situation.

"Thank...thank you." He felt so embarrassed that he almost had the urge to stand up and salute again.

"You're welcome. Drinking tea is my hobby. Usually, few people come to visit. Let's just satisfy my desire to show off." Yi Xu looked at him with nervousness written all over his face, and deliberately joked.

As long as he showed a little favor to the other party, he would be flattered, Yi Xu sighed in his heart, the children of ordinary people are cuter, compared to the children of nobles in the family, those little bastards are simply disobedient.

He then sat across from Zilo, looked at this gentle boy like a brown-haired puppy friendly, and returned to the main topic of the discussion, "I should know what it is when I look for you today, I specially gave you some time To understand the life and teaching methods of the school, and find out what kind of work you are interested in by the way, after all, this is enough to determine the fate of your life. Can you tell me your intention now?"

Qi Luo was silent, and he had extra time to think about the future, which made him hesitant. Before, he only thought about going to the front to fight. After arriving here by accident, he realized that it was so complicated. The types of troops are enough for him to study. After half a month, he has read enough difficult books in the library, but he still doesn't have a definite answer in his head.

"Why, haven't you thought about it yet?... If you have any difficulties, I can ask a tactical officer to help you." Yixuan added thoughtfully.He knew that although the soldiers of Dalufei were brave and good at fighting, almost all of them were illiterate without normal education. Seldom see them.Reading and writing, which may be taken for granted by students from other countries, is already very difficult for this young man.

"I've made up my mind." Zilo said suddenly and firmly. He bit his lip lightly and looked into the other person's eyes. "I want to join the Air Force."

Yixu was slightly surprised, and couldn't help repeating, "Air Force?"

Zilo nodded, his voice was small but firm, "I want to be a fighter pilot."

Yi Xu didn't answer immediately, but frowned slightly and remained silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about how to word it.

"You have to know that the Air Force Academy has the highest threshold. He has strict requirements on the basic quality of students, and the annual elimination rate is also exaggerated," Yi Xu said while softening his tone a little, "Of course, I don't think you can't do it. , However, even if you pass the medical examination, excellent pilots cannot be trained in a short period of time. I want you to think again."

No matter how politely he said it, Zi Luo knew the meaning of the other party very well. He lowered his head, looked at the hands he was shaking for a while, and said slowly, "If you fly a fighter jet, you should be able to make meritorious service soon, right?"

Yixu was stunned for a moment, as if he was a bit unresponsive to the question, "Uh... In theory, it should be like this. After all, He Ze's air force is well-known, so it's no wonder you think so. However, the casualties of the pilots are also very large. , The places where they fight are often far away from the support of large troops. On the battlefield, they are often shot down as soon as they take off. If you want to go because of this..."

"Please let me try!" Ziluo didn't seem to hear the second half of his sentence at all, and his tone suddenly became tougher, "If it really doesn't work, I will go to the Army Academy instead."

Yixuan stopped and thought for a while, and felt that there was no need to completely dispel the enthusiasm of the other party. Besides, the chances of ordinary people passing the assessment were not high. nodded.

Two days later, when Yi Xu returned to the office, he saw a medical examination report on the table.

He picked up the book with densely printed data and analysis results and flipped through a few pages, and asked casually, "Is there any problem?" The military doctor who had been waiting at the side walked into his sight.

"The problem is that there is no problem at all." The man pushed the fine frame on the bridge of his nose and exhaled, "To be honest, even Lan Xiao's children have never had this kind of situation."

Yixuan smiled, "I just said why you came here in person all of a sudden, didn't everything in the past be delivered by the assistant?"

The steady military medical officer folded his hands, slightly narrowed his mixed-race light green pupils, and said with great interest, "It's been ten years since I graduated from here, and it's the first time I've encountered this harsh and perverted medical examination. , so I'm a little curious."

"That child is from Dalufei, so it's not surprising that he has good physical fitness."

"He is not the only student from Darufi, and the military department has also established a medical examination data file for all soldiers who came to support the front line from Darufei. I am one of the recorders. Believe me, this is not a common phenomenon."

Yixuan was silent for a moment, then lowered his head and glanced at the report in his hand again. It seemed that it was true to what the other party said, facial features, internal organs, blood, muscles, nerves, all test indicators met the optimal standard that could only be achieved in theory, and There are a few items that are particularly prominent, and should not be at the level of ordinary humans.

"It seems that Darufi's childbirth policy has advanced by leaps and bounds again." Yixu couldn't help but smile wryly, took off his coat and put it on the back of the chair, and sat down, his tone became heavy, "Even if we once strongly opposed it, in the end It’s ironic to have to borrow what they made.”

"That's something that can't be helped," the military doctor immediately reassured him tolerantly. "During the war, you can't care too much about morality, not to mention that you have tried your best."

Yixuan remembered that Darufi was officially expelled from the Eastern Union when his grandfather was in power. At that time, the king with a strong sense of justice could not agree that the ruler of Darufi treated his people like tools, so he tried to reach a consensus with the other three countries Imposing sanctions and cutting off all exchanges between countries in the hope of using coercive means to make the other party improve, but it has little effect.During these decades of so-called sanctions, Darufi’s totalitarianism has become more and more fierce, the military is dominant, the people have been exploited and squeezed more severely, and the class has been severely divided. Finally, it has become a country stabilized by extreme means. Deformed society.Whether they live in the strictly disciplined outer zone, the barren mezzanine zone or the completely out-of-control central zone, there is no dignity at all.

And just two years ago, Darufi, who had been away from the Eastern Alliance for decades, took the initiative to form an alliance again to support the front line. In exchange for a strong source of troops and supplies, He Ze, who insisted on opposing Darufi's tyranny, became speechless. , they will keep silent about all the inhumane activities that this country is doing, and turn a blind eye to those who are treated as expendables.

After agreeing to the other party's request, Yixuan's elder brother said helplessly, "To win the battle, we cannot do without their help."

Even if it's all blood and dirt behind it?Is this what is called justice?Both grandfather and father insisted on spurning the power obtained by trampling on human nature, but now He Ze actually destroyed the belief he had always held by himself.

"Faith?" The elder brother looked at him with a sneer that day, and said lightly, "Can noble, honorable, and upright beliefs help us win? Once the enemy falls, He Ze will become a paradox and begin to invade the East." The stronghold of the mainland, not only our alliance, but the people of all countries in the Eastern Continent will be in dire straits, at that time, you should go to the invaders to talk about your humanity."

After finishing speaking, the young king who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows turned his back, "To deal with the devil, we must become the devil, or... form an alliance with the devil."

"Will you send this kid to the Air Force Academy?"

The doctor's sudden question brought Yixu back to his thoughts again. He took a deep breath, and the deep image in his mind just now became blurred again.

"Why not?" he asked easily, looking up at him.

The military medical officer was silent for a while, and said cautiously, "Some physical indicators of this child are different from ordinary people, and it is estimated that he has received some special...conditioning. However, we are not as good as Dalufei in this aspect of technology, so we have no way of knowing. What exactly is it."

Yixuan looked at him without expressing his opinion, waiting for him to continue.

"I heard that his background has not been confirmed yet. After becoming an Air Force pilot, he will be exposed to a lot of military secrets, which is quite special. So, if you have any concerns in this regard, I can use this reason to object to the approval," he paused. He also said, "If you think it is not convincing enough, it is not difficult to make some changes on these data..."

"No." Yi Xu shook his head without waiting for him to finish. The integrity deeply rooted in his bones made him disdain any secret operations. "Since he is qualified, let him go."

As he said that, he seemed to think of the clean eyes that Ziluo looked at him not long ago.Ever since the world has been turned into a pot of muddy water, people of his generation living in troubled times have not seen that kind of look for a long time, like a simple little animal, clumsily living in the place where it was born, How can it be suitable for this strange battlefield if you only know how to snuggle up to a peaceful and warm place.

The children who have just entered this school, before receiving the education of how to hate, attack, and kill the enemy, are all so blunt, without much sharpness.

He smiled helplessly, closed his eyes, and seemed to shut his useless sentimentality out of his thoughts, "I understand what you mean, let's arrange a reliable guardian for him in the future. Don't worry, the child will not be harmful .”

When Yan Liang suddenly opened his eyes, his heart was beating fast and his breathing was not smooth.The lights in the room were not turned on, but the grayish-white light coming through the windows gave him some bad premonitions, and the roommate who always woke up later than him had already washed up on the balcony.

Looking at the alarm clock, it was half an hour before getting up at five o'clock, he sat up suddenly, and complained to his companion who entered the room and began to put on his coat.

"Why didn't you call me?"

"Your alarm clock has rung, and you pressed it yourself." The other party stepped into the room, put on the uniform unhurriedly, carefully adjusted the collar and epaulettes in front of the mirror, and buckled the polished belt.

"Is there a school meeting today?" He frowned unhappily, dragged the clothes thrown at the foot of the bed, and quickly put them on.

"Relax, you guys were so late yesterday, even if you don't show up, you won't be held accountable." The roommate said without changing his expression, took the black leather handbag, and snapped his fingers as he passed by. "I'm leaving."

Yan Liang ignored the rust-like heaviness left in his muscles, jumped out of bed, turned on the faucet and wiped his face indiscriminately, put on his outfit in a hurry, and ran out of the dormitory.

It is unacceptable to be late for the court meeting attended by all the teachers and students in the school. Even when he was unconscious due to illness and fever, Yan Liang insisted on letting his companions carry him to the classroom. In this way, he has an impeccable attendance rate and Evaluation Report.He has never relaxed himself, because the entire Air Force Academy students regard him as a target, even Lan Xiao's companions regard him as an authoritative senior and the strongest competitor.

Compared with the negligible satisfaction of being the focus, Yanliang has an unbreakable persistence. He has understood since he was sensible that if he is not watched by others, it is impossible for a person to determine the meaning of his existence.

The camp of the Air Force Academy is in the most remote place in the entire military academy. The main training ground on the side of the teaching area is at least 20 minutes away from the dormitory. The speed of the sprint ran all the way to the main training ground.When I found my team, my shortness of breath hadn't calmed down yet, and a familiar voice greeted me.

"It's a pity," his companion shrugged regretfully, "I didn't wait for you when we assembled downstairs. I thought I could finally see you absent once."

Yan Liang sneered, and squeezed sideways into the empty seat beside him, "An Ran, in your life, don't even think about picking up my tricks anywhere."

"Is it because yesterday's limit test was too forced?" The young man named An Ran let him go. Seeing his bloodshot eyes and gloomy face, he showed a worried expression, and his tone still showed the memory of the past. With lingering fear, "I couldn't even eat when I went back, but you were the last one to be tortured by uncle."

"Isn't it because either of you is useless? Not long after you left, those bastards Feng Qian and Ling Ju vomited all over the floor. If I don't finish my job well, can I make a job?" Yan Liang grumbled angrily. He said that when he heard the bugle sound from the horn, he lowered the volume a little, but he still didn't intend to let the other party go, "The guy who can't resist to that level, still has the face to be a few minutes earlier than me, and he really wants to do it." It’s time to retire.”

"Calm down." An Ran smiled apologetically, "I don't bother you to teach me a lesson, uncle should have disliked me a long time ago, ha ha."

"Which uncle are you talking about?"

The sudden deep voice from the back of their heads made them tense up and shut their mouths quickly, even the hairs on their backs stood up. This conditioned reflex benefited from countless times of harsh corporal punishment.

"Good morning, Instructor Lu." Yan Liang and An Ran saluted at the same time, restoring their meticulous expressions.

"Lieutenant Xia Anran, you look good today." Lu Weiyang looked at him, the curvature of the corner of his mouth gave the illusion of chills, "The difficulty set for you yesterday may be a little lower, next time I will consider adjusting it to suit you s level."

"Yes! Thank you for your concern." An Ran's voice was loud, and she looked ahead with piercing eyes, not daring to react too much.

Lu Weiyang nodded in satisfaction, and when he turned to Yanliang, his tone was obviously relaxed, "How do you feel today?"

"No problem." Yan Liang answered very simply.

"Extreme testing will more or less damage the cardiopulmonary function. You can take more rest these days and don't do strenuous exercise."

"Yes, thank you for your concern."

After watching Instructor Lu leave, An Ran immediately gave Yan Liang an expression like a dead ghost.

Before Yan Liang could make a mocking response, the orders of the whole team came from the loudspeaker, and the huge playground fell silent for a moment.They took a break in a well-trained manner, stood still, quickly aligned, and after adjusting the distance, they stood in a standard military posture and looked straight at the rostrum.

As soon as the muscles in the whole body tensed, they began to feel the heaviness of being unable to exert force.

Although the intense super-weightlessness experience in fighter jets is already commonplace for him, the extreme test requires the body to repeatedly experience acceleration and deceleration of more than ten times the force of gravity. Sudden blindness due to brain ischemia, and the heart was under tremendous pressure, as if it was about to explode at any moment.Lan Xiao's members are all selected from a thousand miles, and all of them have super willpower, and in the end they couldn't take it anymore.After Yanliang returned last night, the lights in the dormitory were turned off.His mind and stomach were empty, and he was so empty that he panicked. He vomited violently as soon as he ate some dry food, and his head was heavy. After being woken up, the roommate complained a few words and covered his head with the quilt, letting him choke with worry. It rang over and over again in the dark.I don't know how long these abnormal reactions raged, and he finally fell asleep on the bed after being exhausted.

Although it was a pain that he didn't want to think about, Yan Liang was very glad that he persisted, because this was collecting data for a new type of fighter that was about to be put into use. Soon, he might become the first pilot of a new fighter. It is undoubtedly very exciting.

The court meeting ended with the usual harsh lectures and patriotic encouragement, and the trainees began to leave with their companies one after another, preparing to participate in the next courses and training.Just as he and An Ran were looking around to find Lan Xiao's other three teammates, a figure that should not appear here unexpectedly appeared in Yan Liang's eyes.

The freshman with light brown hair and pure eyes without any concealment.A week ago, Yan Liang satirized him and his companions at the dinner table in a high-profile way.He always thought that behind the seemingly docile character of the other party was timidity and cowardice.This kind of person should not come into his sight, but an existence that can be looked down at will.But at this moment, Yan Liang realized that this child was standing in the same place as him, where he was the best student in the school.
