The military-industrial scientific research system of the academic master.

After the national flag was raised, there was a military parade.

That is to say, the troops under review line up, and the reviewers pass in front of the line for review.

A specially modified extended version of the Hongqi sedan drove up Chang'an Street along the red-carpeted Jinshui Bridge and stopped in front of another car that had been waiting for a long time.

There was silence between heaven and earth.

Li Liangxin raised his hand and saluted the old man opposite:

"Comrade Commander, the troops under review are ready. Please review them. The commander-in-chief of the parade, Li Liangxin!"

"start!"

"Yes!"

As the military parade music was played again, two red-flag vehicles started staggered and slowly drove towards the troops being reviewed who were already ready.

"Hello, comrades!"

"Hello, Chief——"

"Comrades have worked hard!"

"Serve the people!"

Greetings and answers came back and forth, sonorous and powerful, gathering into a huge sound wave that echoed over the ten-mile street, like an echo of history.

"grandfather."

On the viewing platform, a teenage boy wearing a red scarf turned his head and looked at the old man behind him.

The latter was wearing a Type 58 Air Force uniform. His figure was already slightly stooped, but he still looked energetic against the backdrop of the military uniform.

"Why do they answer like this?"

When the sound gradually subsided, the little boy stood up on tiptoes and leaned into the old man's ear to ask.

"Answer what?"

The old man could not understand his grandson's problem for a while.

"The grandpa who was sitting in the car just now kept saying that comrades have worked hard. Shouldn't he answer that it's not hard?"

Obviously, for children in primary school, this logic is relatively straightforward.

This time, the old man understood and showed a cheerful smile.

"How can it not be hard?"

He answered slowly:

"Being a soldier is hard work. Not only is it hard, but it's also dangerous... Grandpa's arm can't be lifted when it's cloudy and rainy. It's the injury caused by being a soldier when he was young..."

He raised his head slightly, and his slightly cloudy eyes shone slightly, as if he saw himself when he was young decades ago:

"However, because our military serves the people, whether it is hard work or dangerous, it is secondary and acceptable."

"That's why our army is called the People's Liberation Army..."

"In a few years, you should be able to learn this text."

The old man touched his grandson's head:

"There will be sacrifices if we struggle, and people often die. But we think of the interests of the people and the suffering of the majority of the people. When we die for the people, we die well..."

……

While the old man and the young man were talking, the review car had returned to the north of Jinshui Bridge.

Although today's celebration is customarily called the "50th Anniversary National Day Military Parade," the real "military parade" actually only occupies a very small part of it.

First, the duration of the military parade was too short. The leaders walked by in cars and ended in five minutes.

Secondly, for other spectators, there is no sense of participation in the military parade. After all, it is impossible for everyone to ride there together, and the almost endless queue in the distance cannot be seen clearly from the viewing platform.

And the National Day is a universal celebration.

The person who made the celebration plan also knew very well that it must be enjoyable for everyone.

Therefore, the big head is actually still a disaggregated form——

The troops being reviewed passed in front of the reviewing stand and were reviewed.

The atmosphere at the scene became lively again after the big leader gave his speech.

Li Liangxin may be the commander-in-chief of the military parade with the best Mandarin skills since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

At least the words "distributed, start" are quite clear.

As his words fell, the military band played the marching music again.

Ranking at the top of all the formations is naturally the honor guard of the three armed forces holding the military flag.

Chang Yuanchao, who was next to Chang Haonan, straightened up almost instinctively.

Comrade Lao Chang worked as a grassroots cadre in the army more than 20 years ago, and later changed his career to become a policeman, and even went to the front line to fight.

This is how his second-class merit comes from.

The third-class merit award is a routine award after serving in third- and fourth-category marginal areas for several years.

Chang Yuanchao's eyes followed the honor guard of the three armies. It was not until they crossed Xihua Biao and returned to the same pace again that he turned back with some reluctance:

"Actually, when I first joined the army, I applied to join the honor guard, but was rejected because my height did not meet the standards."

Although it was accompanied by the sound of marching music, the viewing platform was separated from the opposite side by a whole street and the Jinshui River, so it was not impossible to hear the voices.

Chang Haonan glanced at Chang Yuanchao with some suspicion:

"Dad, how dare you go with your conditions..."

Worried about overly damaging Lao Chang's self-confidence, he still didn't finish his sentence when he arrived.

"Hey...the standards for selection of honor guards also change with the times. When I was young, I was quite tall among people of my age. I could have touched the minimum standards for the selection of honor guards."

"When I was that year, I had filled out my application form, and the Ministry of Armed Forces suddenly said that the standard had been raised by 3 centimeters, and I was transferred to the field force..."

Obviously, this incident carries a very important weight in Lao Chang’s memory, otherwise he wouldn’t have remembered it for so many years...

Chang Yuanchao's height in 99 would only be considered slightly taller than the average northern male, but if it were more than years ago, it would indeed be more conspicuous as he said.

Lao Chang turned his attention again to the subsequent queue passing in front of him.

For Chang Haonan, a reborn person who has watched the documentary of this military parade, the foot formation has not changed much compared to the previous life, so there is not much to watch.

The 99 military parade focused on highlighting the construction of the military system and personnel training for the new century, so there were an exaggerated five formations of college cadets from each branch of the military, so much so that the on-site commentators were Instead of explaining them one by one, I lumped the three in the middle together.

The only change was that the original two militia formations were reduced to one due to the increase in the number and size of the equipment formations.

However, for someone like Chang Yuanchao who had served as a soldier, it was obvious that there was still something to be desired.

"Dad, are there any of your old troops here?"

Taking advantage of the gap between the foot formation and the vehicle formation, Chang Haonan approached and asked.

"My old troops were all laid off later..."

There was a little nostalgia in Chang Yuanchao's eyes.

But the nostalgia in his eyes was soon replaced by excitement and joy.

Because on the street in the distance, a rolling torrent of steel has appeared.

When the first tank of the vehicle formation appeared in everyone's sight, the applause at the scene even drowned out the roar of the diesel engine and the sound of rubber tracks running across the asphalt road.

The military band also played "Chariot March".
