Chapter 822 Frontier Army Helps Alxa
Zhou Zixu suddenly looked at Lu Yu with interest: "Boy, we have to go to the desert tomorrow, are you interested in coming?"
"Going to the desert?" Lu Yu expressed surprise, "Are you ignoring the things here?"
Zhou Zixu smiled and said: "Of course we have to take care of the affairs here, but the road repair has been handed over to the contractor, and we have nothing to do this week!"
Zhang Shan added: "Tomorrow there will be a large-scale tree-planting event in Alxa! This event is invested by the few of us. Of course, we have to go there to show the scene. Otherwise, people will think it is meaningless, so we must go!"
Lu Yu admired the attitude of the old chiefs, but he still smiled wryly: "How dare you do everything? It's fine to help the mountain village develop, but you have to plant trees in the desert. You have to think about your own health."
"We know our physical condition. You can save us once, but you can't save us the second time!"
Fang Bin sighed: "Since I finally got back to life, of course I have to do something meaningful, and don't leave regrets for the rest of the years..."
"At our age, there are not many things that can be left to the next generation, and it is our greatest wish to leave a piece of good rivers and mountains to future generations! Isn't the country now advocating more tree planting and greening the ecology? We are also responding The call has played a role in leading the way.”
Lu Yu was speechless and didn't know what to say.
Of course, he admired the actions of the four old men from the bottom of his heart!
But they really don't dedicate their last energies to the country, they never give up, and they never have a day off.
"You want us to go with you?" Lu Yu asked.
"Haha, you really know us!"
Zhang Shan laughed and said: "Your job is good, you just give us a hand when you go, and there will be a lot of trees to be planted then."
Lu Yu smiled helplessly.
Now, with his own status, the only ones who can make him willing to work as a coolie are the four old chiefs in front of him, apart from a few high-level officials like Zhang Jinzhong.
Of course, this is not to order Lu Yu, but to convince him with his own personality charm!
Lu Yu thought that the scale of tree planting should be large and many people would be needed, so he said, "In this way, I can help you with the number of people."
"Are you going to mobilize troops? Didn't you violate the regulations?" Fang Bin asked curiously.
Lu Yu said: "I can discuss it with the local garrison. The army also fully supports such a good thing as environmental protection and tree planting."
"Okay, that's all right."
Zhou Zixu clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Let the troops come over, we just don't have enough manpower! The more you come, the better. We have prepared a million saplings and planted them all!"
"Okay, I'll contact you later." Lu Yu agreed.
After a busy day, it's night.
Lu Yu called the garrison in the Alashan area as scheduled and discussed the matter in detail.
When the head of the Alashan sub-district heard about planting trees, he agreed without even thinking about it.
Alxa is a large desert, and it needs vegetation for greening.
He promised to mobilize all teams to participate tomorrow.
It was dark the next day, four o'clock in the morning.
A helicopter arrived in the mountains to pick up the four old chiefs.
Because of the long distance, if you can't get there in a day by car, it will be much faster by plane.
The helicopter carried Lu Yu and the four old men, rumbled away from the mountains, and flew to the Alxa region in the border desert.
"By the way, how many people did you call over?"
On the plane, Zhou Zixu asked Lu Yu: "This project is a huge one, and there must be fewer people. Since you promised to help, you can't just brag!"
Lu Yu smiled: "When did I fail to do what I promised you? Old Chief, I have done my best to serve you. If you still doubt me, then I will be sad for a long time."
Said, but also put on a heartbroken expression.
During this period of contact, he has become one with the four old men, and there is less estrangement, and the relationship between them is more like a year-end friendship.
"Okay, I'll wait to see if you brag!" Fang Bin cursed with a smile.
After the sun came out, the darkness was gradually dispelled, and the temperature outside also began to rise.
The hot wind from the desert area poured into the cabin, causing the drowsy people to frown and wake up.
"Are you on the ground?"
The glare of the sun made Zhou Zixu squint his eyes slightly, poked his head out and looked down.
Seeing this, the following scene startled him.
On the edge of the desert, a large number of military vehicles are roaring.
Tens of thousands of soldiers jumped out of the car, densely packed like ants, and quickly gathered together.
"Oh my God!"
Zhou Zixu opened his mouth wide, and his jaw almost fell to the ground: "Boy, did you really call so many people? How many people must there be?"
The other three old men were also deeply shocked by this scene.
I couldn't speak for a while.
boom boom.
The helicopter finally landed on the desert.
The four old chiefs rushed off the plane impatiently.
Seen from a high altitude, the teams below looked like active phalanxes.
But at this moment, facing and feeling the huge impact brought by the number of troops is the most shocking.
"Report to the chief!"
A middle-aged man in military uniform trotted over, stood up straight and saluted: "He Yunfeng of the Alxa Military Division, send hello to the four old chiefs! The two legions of our division, the three independent brigades, and the soldiers in the border defense area all Gather to report and ask the chiefs for instructions."
The four old men came back to their senses, Fang Bin blushed with excitement and said, "Okay, that's great! It's been a long time since I've led soldiers like this, and this familiar feeling is back, it's really nostalgic!"
Zhou Zixu's old face was filled with intense excitement: "I think back then, we followed Taizu Hengdao to fight the world immediately, and led many soldiers and horses to relax on the battlefield. If we killed the enemy, we would throw away our helmets and armor! It's a pity that time is gone forever , in a blink of an eye, how many years ago..."
Zhang Shan patted Zhou Zixu on the shoulder and sighed: "Old Zhou, the country is very good now. There are so many outstanding juniors. Do you still need to worry about it? I am very happy to entrust this burden to them." Don't worry! So, don't be emotional!"
Zhou Zixu smiled heartily: "Haha, don't worry, of course don't worry! Especially for people like Lu Yu, if there are more countries, we can go to see those old brothers with confidence and have an explanation with them."
"Yes, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, the future belongs to young people, and we have fulfilled our mission!"
Lu Yu hurriedly said: "Old chief, you still have a lot of things to do, and the country also needs to rely on you, so don't underestimate yourself! Take today's tree planting as an example, so many teams are waiting for you to command, fighting against the sky. The joy is boundless, fighting against the earth, the joy is endless!"
"Hahaha, you're right!"
Zhou Zixu laughed heartily: "Fighting against the sky, fighting against the earth, it's all a lot of fun! Fight until the day when my brothers can't do it!"
