Spark

Hainan.

In a military hospital, Li Yonglai and Wu Weirong were lying in the same ward, chatting casually.

In the previous conflict, Li Yonglai was not the only one who was injured. Wu Weirong rushed up immediately after seeing him injured, trying to rescue him while fighting the monkey who thought he had the upper hand.

The process was difficult, and he himself was injured a lot, but fortunately, in the end, he managed to persist until the reinforcements arrived, rescued Li Yonglai, and kept the flag on the island.

The price was a fractured arm, multiple abrasions on the body, and even a 4 cm long wound on the face.

According to ordinary people, this can be regarded as disfigured.

However, he didn't care about it.

Until he was taken on the plane and sent to the rear hospital, there were only two things he was most concerned about:

Is Li Yonglai's injury serious? Have the monkeys surrounding the island like flies been driven away?

Now, the former question has an answer, but the latter question... No one has talked to them from the beginning to the end.

The superiors just told them to take good care of their injuries, but it was unknown where they would go and whether they could go back after their injuries were healed.

.So how long do we have to stay in the hospital? My hand is not serious, and I feel that I can be discharged from the hospital, but the last time I told the doctor, he refused to agree.

Wu Weirong raised his arm, as if he wanted to show the flexibility of his arm to Li Yonglai, but the thick splint restricted his movements, making his movements a bit clumsy.

You can pull it down quickly. The doctor said that although you have a fractured bone, you are almost catching up with the fracture. You have to rest for at least a month or two before you can move normally.

Otherwise, if you use your hands harder, you may be at the root of the disease in the future.

Stay honestly, don't I still stay?

Why, I want to come back on the island, but I really want to go to the island again after I come back?

Wu Weirong sighed and said helplessly:

Can I compare with you? You had a skull fracture and almost died. It's normal to rest for a few months.

The matter in my hands is not so serious.

And, what you said is indeed right, I really want to go to the island now.

The main reason is that I didn't play enough last time.

When I think of those monkeys now, I get angry. At that time, stones should have been thrown on their heads, and there should be no mercy.

Don't talk nonsense!

Li Yonglai interrupted him and said in a low voice:

You hit hard enough. I heard that one of them was silent when he went back. I don't know if he is dead or not.

In the future, if this kind of thing happens again, you'd better put it away. If someone dies in our hands, it will be very difficult to deal with.

I know, I know.

Wu Weirong lay back on the bed again, stared at the ceiling and said:

It looks like we took advantage this time, but we actually suffered a loss.

They have already provocatively raised their noses, but our real countermeasures are also very limited.

If they go back and forth like this for a few times, they will become more and more courageous. At that time, it will be difficult to deal with it.

Li Yonglai did not speak, in fact, he also had the same worry in his heart.

These officers and soldiers who have been on the front line all year round have the most keen perception of the enemy's situation. In the past two years, he has clearly felt the change in the opponent's attitude.

The activities of ships became more and more frequent, and more and more actions were taken to cross the line. Until this time, they dared to initiate conflicts.

In his opinion, these monkeys are like ignorant children. After being beaten once, they will be honest for a while, but soon the scars will heal, forget the pain, and start acting like monsters again.

If you really want to completely make the bear child sensible, you have to hit it again and again.

They didn't grow up until they all formed muscle memory, and they couldn't help shaking when they thought of their father's name.

But the current situation seems to be hitting children by hand, which is not as easy as before.

It's not because the child grows up and can't fight.

It's because the child recognized his godfather outside.

Well, I still think that the old Wang next door who beat him back then is his godfather.

It's nothing more than forgetting the ancestors and turning against Tiangang.

Thinking of this, Li Yonglai also sighed.

Perhaps, the superior has an arrangement, but it can't be conveyed to this little soldier, that's all.

Just as he was thinking this way, the door of the ward was suddenly opened, and then a man they had never seen before pushed the door and walked in.

And the man who followed behind was the doctor who had been in charge of the two of them before.

Li Yonglai, Wu Weirong? Is your injury better?

the man asked.

better, better

The two quickly sat up straight, with standard smiles on their faces.

They thought that this man, like the leaders who came to visit one after another during this period, was here to send warmth and love, but the next second, the man's straightforward narration made the two of them stunned.

I am Wu Congrong from the Hainan Military Region, and this is my ID.

I came here today because I want to know something about you.

The two of you are considered veterans of the island. You should know the living conditions on the sea very well, and you should have some practical and reasonable demands.

So, I want to ask you, if we want to build a base on the island now, what kind of conditions do we need to meet?

Wu Weirong and Li Yonglai looked at each other, and they read the same surprise from each other's eyes.

Build a base?

Are you going to build a base at sea?

In other words, the tin house that has lived in for several years is finally going to be eliminated?

The two immediately became excited, but did not answer immediately.

Because, in their case, this problem is really too big.

What conditions must be met?

It must be able to resist typhoon and wave erosion, it must be durable to avoid repeated repairs, it must reserve enough fortifications to deal with possible future conflicts, it must have more complete living facilities, and it must be warm in winter and cool in summer.

These conditions were all imagined countless times when they were on the island.

But now, is it really appropriate to bring it up in front of the leader?

Will it be a little too aggressive, taking credit for pride?

Seeing their slightly hesitant expressions, Wu Congrong immediately understood their concerns, so he continued to speak:

Speak freely, there are no superiors or subordinates here today.

Speak out your true thoughts on the island at that time, the more comprehensive the better.

Don't worry about not being able to realize it. This time, as long as it is proposed by you, we will do our best to realize it.

Hearing his words, Wu Weirong gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind.

He opened his mouth and said:

I think, first of all, we have to reclaim the sea and build islands. If the land area is not enough, it's useless for us to talk about anything

This is inevitable. How can we build a base without building an island? It is because of the need to build an island that I am here to collect your suggestions.

Wu Congrong replied with a smile.

At this moment, the two people on the hospital bed instantly felt relieved.

Following Wu Weirong's words, Li Yonglai continued:

Building an island is one thing, but how big it is is another.

If we can have a few tens of square meters, then we will consider building a small barracks and first solve the problem of sentry positions.

In addition, we must have a closed gun store. The salt and alkali erosion at sea is too serious, and the gun ammunition will rust at every turn. This is a big trouble.

As soon as the chatterbox opened, the initial concerns were also put aside by the two of them.

They spoke one sentence to another for nearly half an hour.

Rather than saying that this is a request, it is better to say that they poured out all the grievances they usually suffered at sea.

Wu Congrong wrote down in his notebook while listening, and he finally raised his head until the two stopped.

And his heart was filled with emotions.

He thought life at sea would be bitter, but he never thought it would be to this extent.

If you weren't there, how would you know that the seawater near the shallow reef doesn't spread quickly, and it's hard to take away the excrement, so that the seawater in that piece of water emits an unpleasant smell?

Sure enough, he made the right decision.

Only by going to see it for yourself and meeting the people there in person can you form the correct guidance for your work.

He sighed secretly, and said:

I have written down all your demands. From my point of view, none of them are unreasonable.

I will put together these suggestions and report to my superiors and incorporate them into our plan.

I believe that soon, you will be able to see our new base.

There were expectant smiles on the faces of the two people on the hospital bed, Wu Weirong subconsciously stretched out his hand to shake hands with Wu Congrong, and then said solemnly:

Thank you for your concern! I thank you on behalf of the other brothers!

It is I who want to thank you.

Wu Congrong said solemnly:

You have suffered too much. Not only have you endured hardship, but you have also been bullied and wronged. This is a big mistake.

However, give us some more time. In the future, our soldiers will not suffer like this again!

Hearing his words, the two nodded again and again, but at this moment, Wu Weirong seemed a little out of place and asked:

Leader, may I ask, when will our base be built?

Li Yonglai on the side was shocked, he gave Wu Weirong winks again and again, but the other party didn't seem to see it, and asked the question in a daze.

What are you kidding?

At this time, don't ask such embarrassing questions, okay?

It is no easy task to build an island in the sea. The monkeys in Vietnam have been tossing for several years, but they have not figured out why.

Even if our own side far exceeds them in strength, facing the power of nature, most of the time, we can only sigh.

In his mind, it would be fast to build an island within five years.

At that time, even if I don't retire, I should have been transferred to switch defenses long ago

Anyway, I can't see it, so why ask it?

However, Wu Congrong's answer was completely beyond his expectation.

The fastest is 12 months, and the slowest is a year and a half.

A year and a half??

The two screamed in unison.

How can this be?

Wu Weirong murmured subconsciously, while Wu Congrong smiled slightly and said:

Is it possible, just watch it.

Now, take care of yourself.

At that time, strive to be the first batch of officers and soldiers to go to the island.

You know, that's quite an honor.

The two nodded in a daze, obviously they still haven't recovered from the shock brought to them by a year and a half.

It wasn't until Wu Congrong stood up and was about to say goodbye that Wu Weirong shouted as if waking up from a dream:

Leader, there is one more thing!

Wu Congrong stood still, turned around and asked:

What else is there?

Water gun, high-pressure water gun.

On the island, and on our boat, there must be high-pressure water cannons!
