Shi Lei sat on a sofa in the First Fleet's headquarters.
He was a little nervous because he was the only one sitting in the room. The fleet commander and six generals were all standing solemnly in front of him.
In the past 12 years, he had only met a major general half a month ago. Other than that, the highest ranking officer he had met was his regiment commander.
Now that he was sitting and the seven generals were standing and looking at him respectfully, Shi Lei could not sit still.
"Leader!"
Shi Lei couldn't help but stand up. However, he was pressed down by Ma Chang.
"Comrade Xiao Shi, sit down. This is what you deserve!”Ma Chang said seriously.
"Then, please sit down, leaders." Shi Lei said awkwardly. I can't possibly sit while the Chief A stands, right?”
The deputy commander of the fleet laughed and said,"Xiao Shi, just sit there peacefully." Even if you didn't make any contributions this time, just based on the fact that you've guarded the island alone for twelve years, you're still worthy of our respect!”
The other general nodded." That's right. How many twelve years are there in a person's life? There's only one youth in a person's life. Comrade Shi Lei, you have dedicated everything to our country. If it were any of us here, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be able to do half of what you have done!”
"Twelve years, I'm afraid I'd have gone mad long ago.”"Xiao Shi, you're amazing!" Another major general said in admiration.”
Shi Lei could not help but smile.
The feeling of being praised was very good!
Ma Chang smiled and said," Comrade Xiao Shi, we've already waited for twelve years. It's fine to wait a little longer. We'll wait with you!"”
Ever since he entered this room, Shi Lei felt strange.
Now that he heard Ma Chang's words, he was even more confused.
"Chief A, what are we waiting for?”
"You'll know soon enough. Don't worry!" Ma Chang smiled mysteriously.”
Shi Lei's gaze swept across the area. All the generals were smiling mysteriously at him.
However, Shi Lei felt that it was strange.
Logically speaking, he had made a contribution and should be rewarded. He could just say it directly.
but now
After an hour, the phone on the table rang.
"He's here!" Ma Chang smiled at Shi Lei and immediately went over to answer the call.
"Chief A, this is Ma Chang from the First Battalion!”
Shi Lei was shocked. He saw Ma Chang standing up straight and respectfully calling the person who called Chief A. What kind of identity did he have?
"Yes, Chief A!"
"Yes, we will definitely take good care of Comrade Shi Lei!”
"Yes, I will arrange it as soon as possible!"
Ma Chang respectfully ended the call and turned to look at Shi Lei with a serious expression.
Shi Lei's heart skipped a beat. He was still so amiable just now, why did his expression change after a phone call?
could it be
"Comrade Shi Lei, please stand up!" Ma Chang said in a deep voice.
Shi Lei stood up immediately, his body straightened as he stared straight at Ma Chang.
Ma Chang was also staring at Shi Lei, but he suddenly felt that Shi Lei's eyes were as deep as the ocean.
He had seen countless people over the years, but he had never seen such a profound gaze.
"Comrade Shi Lei, I want to ask you two questions now!”"I hope you've thought it through before answering!" Ma Chang said in a deep voice. This concerns your future!"
"Yes, Chief A!" Shi Lei's expression was serious.
Ma Chang looked at him and coughed lightly before asking,""After you reported the situation to your deputy company commander, your deputy company commander asked you to move. Why didn't you do it?"
" Because that's the island I've been guarding for twelve years," Shi Lei said in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing. Although it was very small, every inch of land there was the motherland! As for me, before I was transferred away, I was the boundary marker stuck in that piece of land. The enemy was here. The Boundary Stele could not fall!”
This answer made all the generals present nod in admiration.
Ma Chang's eyes lit up!
Most people would try to escape from such a distant island.
He knew that he would be leaving in a few days, but Shi Lei was still willing to risk his life to guard the place.
Just this spirit alone made many people feel inferior.
"There are so many enemies, aren't you afraid?”Ma Chang continued to ask.
"I'm afraid!" " But I'm more afraid that there are enemies standing illegally on our land," Shi Lei said honestly.”
Ma Chang nodded his head in satisfaction and stared at him with bright eyes."Last question, if something similar happened again, would you still choose to do this? Even if the consequences of doing so were death! Even if you survive, you will be punished because you might affect international relations.”
All the generals were staring at him.
At that time, Shi Lei had disobeyed the orders of his superiors and went on a mission alone.
This was related to the affairs between the two countries. No one could guarantee what the consequences would be. After all, the other party had died.
Shi Lei did not remain silent for even a second. No matter what the consequences were, he would never regret it!”
"Why?" "Don't you care about your future and life?”
" Because we island soldiers are loyal to our motherland!" Shi Lei said solemnly.”
