Bao Guanhua and Zhu Qingying quietly took a few steps back from the window and walked farther away. Zhu Qingying asked, "Has it always been like this?"

"It's been like this for half a month, it's been like this, always reading the military oath. He gets up normally, eats normally, and goes to bed normally, but he does nothing but recite the military oath." Bao Guanhua sighed deeply and said, "Captain Zhu, Will his mental health..."

"No." Zhu Qingying shook her head decisively.

Bao Guanhua said, "The investigation team will also arrive today. Captain Zhu, you'd better call him out first. The investigation team will investigate. If no one can call him, he will beat him. If he does, he will kill him. No. I called his master as soon as I could, and his master said that you had a solution, so I had no choice but to invite you over all the way."

"Okay, I'll go tell you."

Zhu Qingying turned around and walked to Li Zhan's office. She opened the door and walked in. She said to Li Zhan, "Li Zhan, the investigation team is going to investigate your brigade commander's matter. Whether it was a sacrifice or an accident, the investigation team needs to draw a conclusion."

"Where?" Li Zhan put down the soldier's manual and stood up suddenly, asking.

"The political commissar is waiting for you outside."

Li Zhan strode out without saying a word, without even looking at Zhu Qingying. However, Zhu Qingying breathed a heavy sigh of relief, which meant that Li Zhan was completely fine.

"Li Zhan." Seeing Li Zhan come out, Bao Guanhua was surprised. What Liu Guojian said was true. His senior sister really had a way.

Li Zhan came over and asked, "Political Commissar, where is the investigation team? The brigade commander died."

"Yes, yes. In the conference room."

"Walk."

Instead, Bao Guanhua jogged to keep up, while Li Zhan walked very fast.

The atmosphere in the conference room was very solemn. The leaders of the base and the 101st Brigade sat on one side, and the investigation team from their superiors sat on the other side. Everyone looked very serious. Xue Xiangdong's posthumous affairs have been dealt with, but it is not clear how his death should be characterized. This is what the investigation team is going to do.

Bao Guanhua rushed in ahead of Li Zhan and saluted Liang Pengfei and Director Lin, the leader of the investigation team.

After sitting down, the meeting began.

Zhu Qingying followed, but she did not go in. Instead, she stood in the corridor outside and waited. In the distance, there is a Gulfstream G550 business jet parked in front of the repair shop. Zhu Qingying's crew is busy there with the ground maintenance officers and soldiers to provide support.

She flew over by plane, applied for permission from the air force air traffic control department, and flew directly from Xiahai City to the Beikku combat training base. The whole journey only took three and a half hours, from the time she received Bao Guanhua's call to the time she showed up in Beikku. The trip to the Kurdish War Training Base lasted only four hours, so the speed was not unpleasant.

She was not very clear about the specific situation. Bao Guanhua's few words only let her know that Li Zhan's brigade commander died in the cockpit. Li Zhan was greatly hit and started to behave abnormally. However, Master Liu Guojian did not call her specifically to talk about this matter, indicating that the matter was not as bad as imagined.

According to her observations, Li Zhan has accepted the fact that Xue Xiangdong sacrificed, provided that the ongoing investigation meeting was characterized as a sacrifice.

Otherwise, Zhu Qingying would be a little worried.

In the conference room, Director Lin said, "Comrade Bao Guanhua, you knew Xue Xiangdong's condition in advance. Is it true?"

Bao Guanhua replied, "It's true, and I'm the only one who knows about his condition."

"Why hide it?" Director Lin asked.

Bao Guanhua replied, "Old Xue won't let me talk."

There was silence for half a minute.

Director Lin asked, "Why did you allow him to participate in the flight when you knew he was seriously ill? Commander Liang, can you explain?"

Liang Pengfei replied, "I approved it and I am willing to take responsibility."

There was silence for another half minute.

Director Lin said, "The military commander is seriously ill. As a political commissar, you not only failed to report it but also helped conceal it. Comrade Bao Guanhua, you must be responsible."

"Yes, I am willing to take all responsibilities, and I am willing to accept any punishment." Bao Guanhua's tone was very crisp, and his eyes turned red when he remembered the last long conversation with Xue Xiangdong.

The night before going to Shenyang for the pick-up.

It was late at night, and the lights were on in the brigade commander's office.

Bao Guanhua sat there with a cigarette between his fingers. The ashtray on the coffee table in front of him was filled with cigarette butts. He looked gloomily at Xue Xiangdong, who was sitting opposite with a smile on his face.

"Don't even know about it at home?"

"Well, we only have a few days to live, so there's no need for them to worry."

"Don't give up even if there is a glimmer of hope. Go directly to the main hospital and don't give up."

"Would you like to lie down and linger and end your life one night? Old Bao, I don't want to die in such a useless way."

"But you have to think about your family."

"I'm already sorry. No matter what I do with the remaining time, I can't make up for the regret. Instead of everyone suffering, it's better to be more neat. Lao Bao, I'm a fighter pilot."

Bao Guanhua was silent.

Xue Xiangdong sighed, "I have been looking at myself these days. What have I done for most of my life, what can be left behind, and what is the meaning of life. I used to find you very annoying. You talk nonsense when you speak. This doctrine That spirit, what is a doctrine, the amount of ammunition is a doctrine, what is a spirit, dare to fight and win is the spirit. What is the use of you talking about that every day. Now think about the superficial person, I am, you are right."

"You are the military chief and I am the political chief, so the emphasis is not necessarily the same. When it comes to fighting, I can't beat you even out of ten. When it comes to political work, you are just a cow. You don't understand the elegance of the piano strings."

"Hahaha, yes, yes, that's the truth. Hey, when I think about not hearing your chirping voice in the future, I really can't bear it. I can't let it go, I can't let go of this great era of the army, I can't let go of those brats, and I can't let go of my wife. child."

"Then don't give up. Medical science is very advanced now and everything is possible. Haven't you always believed that everything is possible?"

"There is no need to waste medical resources. I don't have millions to wait for me to die, so why bother with military expenses being so tight? I know my situation. Lao Bao, I want to ask you something."

"you say."

After explaining the funeral arrangements, Bao Guanhua endured the strong sourness in his nose.

Xue Xiangdong said, "I want to fly again."

"No." Bao Guanhua shook his head and refused, "I will report to the superior tomorrow."

"Old Bao, listen to me." Xue Xiangdong said in a deep voice, "I want to leave happily. This is the last thing I ask you."

Bao Guanhua felt very uncomfortable.

…

Director Lin said, "Comrade Xue Xiangdong concealed the facts and performed the pick-up flight mission even though he knew that his physical condition did not allow it. Comrade Bao Guanhua assisted in concealing the facts, which led to the occurrence of this major safety accident. Commander Liang, this is the investigation team preliminary conclusions."

"Is it a sacrifice?" Li Zhan asked coldly.

Director Lin said, "Of course not. Not only is it not the case, but we must also be held accountable."

Zhu Qingying outside heard the quarrel and the sound of glass breaking in the conference room, so she couldn't help but reveal a mysterious smile.

Not long after, Bao Guanhua pulled Li Zhan out and said, "What are you doing? Do you know that he is the deputy military director?"

Li Zhan broke free from Bao Guanhua's pull and pointed into the conference room and cursed: "I'll beat you every time I see you!"

Bao Guanhua was so frightened that he didn't even bother to notice that Zhu Qingying was there. He hugged Li Zhan and dragged him to his office. Staff officers from other offices ran out and looked at him in surprise. Bao Guanhua shouted to call for people, "What are you doing standing still! Come and help!"

The staff members rushed over and rushed directly to the conference room.

Bao Guanhua was so angry that he shouted, "Come here and drag Li Zhan away. What are you doing!"

Commander Liang blocked the door of the conference room with a cold face. The young staff officers looked in coldly, and finally turned around and ran to Bao Guanhua, dragging Li Zhan into his own office with him. Li Zhan was still struggling hard, but Bao Guanhua became angry. He had someone bring a backpack rope to tie him up, and arranged for two reliable political workers to guard the door. It only took two minutes to do this.

Zhu Qingying stood in the corridor with a normal expression. There was neither curiosity from the audience nor worries from the insiders, as if everything was happening naturally.

Not long after, several doctors and nurses from the aviation hospital came over in a field ambulance, carrying medicine boxes and ran upstairs. They ran hurriedly along the corridor, passed Zhu Qingying and went straight into the conference room.

About five minutes later, Zhu Qingying saw Commander Liang walking out with Director Lin. Director Lin received a standard head bandage and was supported by two political workers. When passing by Zhu Qingying, Director Lin was obviously stunned for a moment when he saw Zhu Qingying in casual clothes.

He was angry, and he became even more unhappy when he saw a man in civilian clothes appearing in the army.

However, Commander Liang was the first to say, "This is Li Zhan's senior sister and Liu Guojian's eldest disciple. Director Lin, please go to the aviation hospital for further examination first. Your health is critical."

Hearing the name Liu Guojian, Director Lin suppressed his displeasure. After giving Zhu Qingying a cold look, he gritted his teeth and was helped downstairs to the ambulance.

Zhu Qingying smiled slightly and then walked towards the office where Li Zhan was locked up. Bao Guanhua was persuading Li Zhan, and when he saw Zhu Qingying coming, he immediately felt like he saw a savior, "Captain Zhu, you are finally here."

Please, I was standing in the corridor just now, but none of you were paying attention to your surroundings.

"Captain Zhu, come and persuade him, he's in big trouble!" Bao Guanhua said sadly.

Zhu Qingying said with a smile, "If we want to punish him severely, it is best to drive him away. This person is not suitable to be a soldier."

"Captain Zhu, what you said..." Bao Guanhua said in surprise. He couldn't tell whether Zhu Qingying was speaking truthfully or ironically. In short, he felt something was wrong.

Zhu Qingying said, "Political Commissar Bao, please go ahead and I'll advise him."

"Okay, I'll leave everything to Captain Zhu." Bao Guanhua was very polite to Zhu Qingying, not only because she is Li Zhan's senior sister and Liu Guojian's disciple, but also because Zhu Qingying flies an active Gulfstream G550 business jet.

Bao Guanhua left, but there were still two political workers outside guarding the door.

Zhu Qingying pulled out the dagger she carried with her and pulled the backpack rope tied to Li Zhan a few times.

"This is my backpack rope. Why did you cut it?" Li Zhan frowned, "Senior sister, when did you come here? Master asked you to come?"

Zhu Qingying said, "It seems ambiguous to untie it with your hands. Did you hit someone with a water glass again?"

"That idiot wants to classify his death as an accident, and says he can only do his job and not be a martyr. I'll give him a damn light punishment." Li Zhan cursed angrily.

Zhu Qingying said, "Then you still use the water cup, where is your gun?"

"It was given to me that day." Li Zhan sighed.

Zhu Qingying asked, "What happened to Brigadier Xue? How could he be in the sky..."

"Brain cancer, late stage." Li Zhan said.

"Then he..." Zhu Qingying suddenly paused and said with emotion, "Master is also such a person. If he wants to die, he will definitely choose to die in heaven. It is difficult for us to fully understand the spiritual and ideological world of their generation."

Li Zhan said, "The brigade commander is a martyr."

Zhu Qingying said, "You should take care of yourself first. If you are a big man and still fight, you can't get away with it. Look, this is the price of impulsiveness."

"If you piss me off, I won't do it anymore," Li Zhan said.

Zhu Qingying smiled and said, "Don't be angry. But this is also a choice. Civil aviation can also fly. Don't you like the draw fee? You can earn more in civil aviation. What do you think? If you are interested, I can help you arrange it."

"No interest." Li Zhan said, "Passenger planes are flown by women. I am a man. If I want to fly them, I will use fierce fighter jets to fight the most powerful enemy."

Zhu Qingying spread her hands and said, "So you can't live without military aircraft in your life, so why are you so impulsive in doing things? If you try to make things quick, a lot of people will be implicated."

Li Zhan was silent.

"You're not here specifically to see me, are you?" Li Zhan asked suddenly.

Zhu Qingying said with a smile, "Do you think it's possible? I'm going to Heikelan. I'll stop here and check on you. It's okay now. You're normal. I'll leave in a moment."

"So urgent?"

Zhu Qingying nodded, "Do you still remember the instructions from the old army?"

They said in unison, "Swear to defend the motherland to the death!"

"Let me say one more thing." Zhu Qingying said seriously, "Brigadier Xue must have told you something before he died. Li Zhan, the most important thing is to do things well in the future. Brigadier Xue must also hope that you will continue to move forward bravely. Rather than being depressed to the point of behaving erratically and becoming insane.”

Li Zhan lowered his head, "I understand."

What Xue Xiangdong was most worried about was the 101st Brigade, a unit he wanted to put everything into. He should have been able to show off his talents during this great era, but it was a pity that God did not give him this time, and even deprived him of the time he should have.

Move up the Falcon Brigade, move up the 101st Brigade, defeat all the invading Red Army units, and do all the work to be at the forefront of the army's aviation units.

"I know what to do." Li Zhan said again.

Zhu Qingying said, "Isn't blood spilled in the sky the best place for a proud man of heaven?"

"Yes."

Zhu Qingying said, "When your political commissar comes back and apologize for me, I will leave now."

"good."

Zhu Qingying came and went in a gust of wind. Very few people even knew that the Gulfstream G550 landed and took off at the Beiku combat training base. The tower personnel on duty also received a hush-hush order.

Soon, Li Zhan lit a cigarette and walked out. The political worker at the door looked at Li Zhan in embarrassment, and then stepped aside from the door. Li Zhan walked out but did not go far. Instead, he stood in front of the corridor guardrail and looked at the outfield. A gray-white Gulfstream G550 long-range business jet quickly took off and quickly disappeared behind the thin clouds.

Yes, there are countless people in many unknown places who are working silently to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. There is no right to grieve, and even if there is, it should be short-lived.

Li Zhan blew out a puff of smoke.

I will protect my motherland without myself!
