Chapter 89: My son, don't take it back!
On the island, the lieutenant general stood beside the rusty iron ship, stroking his hand at the rusty hull.
Yang Ping looked at the lonely look of the Lieutenant General and said softly behind him: "Old Chief, this place is completely within our coastal defense area. Our navy already has the 025 series ships, and the past will not happen again."
The Lieutenant General did not look back. He drew a piece of rust on his hand and asked casually: "Xiao Yang, how old are you this year?"
Yang Ping said: "Old leader, I am Xiaolong, I am 47 years old this year!"
The Lieutenant General turned his head and looked at Yang Ping and said, "Time flies so fast. Now you are two years older than me at that time. I remember that when that incident happened, you were just over 23 years old, right!"
Yang Ping said without hesitation: "Yes, old leader, I came out of the military academy at the age of 21, and in the third year..."
The Lieutenant General glanced at the island environment and said, "I want to see here. If you are rushing to the mission, just leave first. My old bones are still moving and you don't need anyone to accompany you."
Yang Ping said: "Old leader, I'm not in a hurry. I haven't settled here for a long time. Since I'm here, I'll accompany you and pay tribute to my brothers by the way!"
The Lieutenant General looked at Yang Ping's face and finally agreed, saying, "Okay, let's go together."
The island is not big, with lush vegetation on it. From a distance, you can see tall coconut trees in the west of the island.
Yang Ping accompanied the Lieutenant General and walked forward step by step along the coast, leaving two long footprints behind them.
"Chief, be careful!"
Yang Ping suddenly pulled the Lieutenant General. At this moment, the Lieutenant General discovered that there was a sea snake in the shallow water beside the sea.
The Lieutenant General gave in to the side and avoided this terrible guy.
In fact, it is rare to encounter sea snakes on this island. After all, this island will only appear large areas of land after the tide is low.
After walking for a while, the Lieutenant General turned and began to walk towards the inside of the island.
They crossed a cluster of low shrubs and walked into a coconut forest.
Maybe it was this island. I had just experienced a typhoon not long ago, and the ground was full of coconuts. Most of the coconut juice that I dropped on the ground could no longer be eaten because there were holes on it. You can tell at a glance that it was empty by the coconut crab.
Lieutenant General Yang Pinghe did not pay attention to a coconut on the ground. They walked towards the road with a goal and kept walking.
It was not until they walked to the tallest coconut tree that they stopped.
At this moment, in front of them, tombstones appeared.
The tombstone is simple, and it is not exquisitely polished stone, but the words are engraved on it, but because no one has taken care of the fonts on these tombstones for a long time, it has become blurred.
Behind the tombstone are small graves built by stones.
They are arranged neatly, like a square array that is still motionless.
The Lieutenant General walked towards a small grave made of stone on the side.
"Xiao Yang, don't worry about me, just be busy with your own!"
After the lieutenant general finished speaking, he squatted down and wiped his hand on the curtain monument in front of the small grave.
"Child, dad is here to see you..."
When Yang Ping saw the actions of the Lieutenant General, he consciously retreated aside and did not disturb him.
Yang Ping knew that the Lieutenant General would take some time and he could do something in this space.
He first picked up the stones scattered on the edge of each grave, put them back on the grave, and then wiped each gravestone.
After Yang Ping finished all these things, he turned around and found that the Lieutenant General was not over yet, so he looked at the grave again!
"Huazi, Malaysia, Lao Zhang... I'm here to see you. Look at the front, our wish has finally come true. Now, we have our own powerful warships and our own powerful coastal defense force..."
Yang Ping seemed to have returned to the past one after another, and he seemed to see the brothers who were bragging about the past.
Dama pulled his hoarse voice and said, "What kind of beauty did he see again?"
Lao Zhang asked one by one, if there is any cigarette, I will ask one.
There is also Huazi, who said, "Whoever is going to get rid of me again, so I'll clean it up."
………
Just as Yang Ping was deeply trapped in the memories of the past, the Lieutenant General came over. He looked at the silly smile on Yang Ping's face and said casually: "Xiao Yang, let's go!"
The shout from the central leader pulled Yang Ping back to the real world.
As soon as he returned to the real world, Yang Ping looked at his figure for 4 weeks, then a smile of disappointment appeared on his face. He sorted out his military appearance, followed the Lieutenant General, and returned step by step.
As they walked, the heavy palms in front suddenly stopped. Yang Ping subconsciously stopped and asked, "Old Chief, what's wrong?"
The Lieutenant General turned his head, looked at Yang Ping, and said seriously: "Xiao Yang, I'll ask you something!"
Yang Ping quickly replied: "Old Chief, just say that as long as I can do it, I will definitely help you complete it."
The Lieutenant General looked at the tallest coconut tree, and then said in a deep voice: "Xiao Yang, I know that over the years, our country has been planning to take back the heroes. I think it may not be too long, and the children of the 723 incident will be taken back."
Yang Ping knew very well that the lieutenant general's health was not as good as before. Perhaps this was the last time he could land on the island when he was still able to act independently. It should be impossible to come here in the future. He guessed that the chief wanted him to speed up the hero and go back early so that the chief would not have to go so far in the future.
Yang Ping said: "Old Chief, I understand what you mean, I will pick them up as soon as possible!"
After hearing Yang Ping's words, the Lieutenant General shook his head and said, "Xiao Yang, you misunderstood!"
Yang Ping was stunned. He didn't understand what the leader was trying to express, and subconsciously said, "Chief, did you say, don't take them back?"
The Lieutenant General shook his head again and said, "Xiao Yang, it is the most correct thing to pick up our heroes home as soon as possible. I also hope that they can pick them up as soon as possible. Their relatives have been waiting for them for too long."
Yang Ping was a little confused when he said that he would take the heroes back as soon as possible, but the leader said that it was wrong, and he really didn't understand.
