Chapter 93 Believe It Or Not

  Liang Sanping silently returned to his dormitory, and whether or not to help had become a huge problem for him. Professor Liu's words were like a wake-up call that left Liang Sanping stunned.

  Will the pipe itself fall in? ! No matter what, this is something that has been promised to a friend, how can it be said not to count? ! And it's not that I couldn't do it, but rather intentionally didn't do it. This kind of thing is something Liang Sanping is unwilling to do.

  Back in the dormitory, Liang Sanping looked at the aluminum lunch box on the table. Warmly smiled, why bother so much! Let's talk about it later, for now, the most important thing is to make this kid happy...

  "Lao Liao, you said that Sanping's plan hasn't arrived yet... " Just as the time for troop reduction was approaching, there was still no movement from Liang Sanping's side.

  This made Ye Jianwen anxious and restless, and as an old friend, Liao Bin naturally became the object of his confidant.

  "You're being impatient, but it's not going to help. You're putting Sanping in a difficult position by asking him to come up with a plan in such a short time, aren't you?!" Liao Bin chuckled and said: "This plan must be executable and persuasive. Do you think this is like making pickled vegetables?! Just throwing in two big cabbages and even if they're rotten, it's still edible?!"

  "But time is almost up...” Ye Jianwen sighed and said, “You know the scale of this troop reduction. Many lists have already been finalized, and at least several hundred thousand troops will be directly disbanded..."

  "The rest will also be gradually downsized." However, Ye Jianwen paused and said: "Those soldiers. Let them go to the training ground, let them charge into battle. Not a single one is not Han Chinese, but ask them to deal with local affairs. Their temperaments are either explosive and hurt people or get killed by others!"

  Moreover, now a group of informed people have begun to return to the city one after another. Only a part of them can be arranged to work. The rest will become unemployed youth...

  Ye Jianwen sighed and said, "Alas, local work is a matter of words. Our warriors can't compete with them at all. Just take 'running forward' as an example. How many people understand it?! If you want to talk about achievements, they will know..."

  Liao Bin also fell silent, put down his teacup and sank his face without saying a word. What could he say?! The situation in the troops, didn't he know?! He knew better than anyone else!

  This generation of warriors, with high education and many books read, are very few. The majority are just half-baked. But it was these warriors who managed to deal with the Vietnamese monkeys who were beaten by the US military in the jungle.

  The self-defense counterattack war honed the troops and cultivated many excellent soldiers. The troops and soldiers were trained, but keeping them was a huge problem.

  Quotas! The quotas for volunteer soldiers, this is a mountain that cannot be crossed. The country needs to develop and must cut a large number of troops. And this war has also revealed the weakness of the troops.

  But demobilization also means that the number of people who can stay in each branch is limited. Quotas have become a lifeline. Many warriors who were forged in blood and fire were forced to leave the army.

  It's not that the troops didn't want to leave them behind, but there simply wasn't room for the troops to take them along.

  "Our comrades, you know their situation. If any of them have some idea or get provoked, you know what the consequences will be..." Ye Jianwen's face sank, and he said in a cold voice: "Lao Liao, this is not impossible..."

  Liao Bin fell silent, who dares to guarantee that there are no such examples?! In the army, they at least still receive restraint. And receive respect. Worry-free life. But leaving the army, it's definitely not necessarily so in other places.

  They may face a more severe living environment and the strange gaze of others. Liao Bin and Ye Jianwen have experienced this situation themselves. If they hadn't had special experiences or come from special families, perhaps they wouldn't be who they are today.

  But what about others? Who dares to guarantee that they will be like this? No one dares to make such a guarantee. Tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of soldiers, with the skills to kill, leave the army and encounter injustice or oppression in society. Who can guarantee that they will endure and not violently harm people?

  "Blood was shed in the years of war, and every step is difficult in the years of peace..." This was a line from the movie "First Blood", which was a question asked by those American soldiers who had participated in the Vietnam War at that time.

  At the same time, this is also a question for many warriors who have participated in self-defense counterattacks.

  "When I was fighting, I used weapons worth tens of millions of dollars. When I returned to the United States, I couldn't even keep a job as a parking attendant..." Liao Bin and Ye Jianwen have never heard these words before, but soon they will be moved to tears by them.

  The confusion of the man in the movie, isn't it also a true portrayal of many people who have come down from the battlefield but are at a loss in life?! This is exactly what Ye Jianwen wants to avoid.

  "Afeng, I want to ask you something." Liang Sanping found Li Feng in the late afternoon, and the two of them strolled leisurely on the small path of the Bao Ting mountain farm as they always did after dinner.

  Cicadas were chirping in the woods, and moonlight poured through the treetops onto the grass. Fireflies occasionally flew out of the grass, and the gentle breeze blew on my skin, feeling very comfortable.

  "What?! What do you want to ask?!" Li Feng had also gotten used to taking walks with Liang Sanping now, and when she walked with this man, she always felt at ease.

  "If there's something you can do that might get you into trouble, but not doing it would cause more people to have trouble, what should you do?"

  Liang Sanping asked Li Feng so directly, and Li Feng looked at Liang Sanping with a strange expression. After thinking for a moment, he said: "This matter is up to you! If you want to do it, then go ahead. If not, then forget about it."

  Liang Sanping smiled, and Li Feng's seemingly irrelevant answer actually hit the core of what he was considering. After all, this matter was his own business!

  Whether to speak or not, it's up to him. If he wants to say something, he can directly submit his report to Ye Jianwen. This matter will naturally be handled by Ye Jianwen. If he doesn't want to say anything, no one can blame him for this matter either.

  After all, what Liang Sanping is good at and his profession is agriculture. It has nothing to do with demobilization and resettlement. He doesn't comment on this matter, and no one can say he's not here for it.

  "Ah Feng, I'll come visit your home tomorrow... " Liang Sanping suddenly said with a smile to Li Feng: "Come to think of it, I've never visited your home before. If I don't go now, that would be very impolite..."

  "My mom wanted to invite you over a long time ago, but my dad said you're always busy. He said to wait until you're free and then have Uncle Dapeng come with you to our house..." Li Feng's face turned red as she muttered to Liang Sanping.

  Liang Sanping was taken aback and lost his smile, being the youngest in the family. The age difference between him and his two older brothers was not small. As a result, his eldest brother's comrade-in-arms' daughter was almost the same age as himself.

  Li Feng calls his own brother "Uncle", and later he will probably have to change his mouth to call him "Big Brother". Thinking of this, Liang Sanping couldn't help but curl up a smile at the corner of his mouth. In his opinion, it was a very funny thing.

  "You... what are you laughing at?! If you want to go, then let's wait until Sunday! It just so happens that we're both free, and I also need to head back home for a bit." Li Feng looked at Liang Sanping and said: "Call Big Brother to come along too, okay?!"

  "So you're calling him Big Brother now?!" Hearing Li Feng call Da Ping "Big Brother", Liang Sanping couldn't help but laugh and tease. Li Feng's face turned red, and she hummed, "Then don't blame me for not being allowed to call him that?!"

  "Of course I agree! Who dares to disagree?!" Liang Sanping laughed and tried to hold Li Feng's hand, but was brushed off by Li Feng. The two of them laughed and joked as they returned to their dormitory.

  In this era, people were still quite conservative. It was okay for boys and girls to take a walk together at night and talk about love. But if there was any hand-holding or anything like that, rumors would spread nonstop.

  Liang Sanping didn't want to face such gossip, and Li Feng was an extremely conservative person who wouldn't accept this. So now the two of them had only held hands a few times, just strolling and chatting together like everyone else.

  Sent Li Feng back to the dormitory, and then began to modify his own report. Since it was his own decision, and he had promised Ye Jianwen to do it, he would do a good job!

  As long as I do things, there will always be trouble. Since that's the case, having more fleas won't make me itch and having more debts won't make me worry. I'll just carry one black pot or two, it's all the same! Let's carry them together!

  No big deal, I'll just go to Hong Kong, with my own brain, I can still make a living in Hong Kong. Liang Sanping thought viciously, even if he sells vegetables, he can still make a name for himself.

  Two days later, Ye Jianwen, who was waiting for news in the imperial capital, finally received a telegram from Yuqiong Island. At the first time, Ye Jianwen called his good friend Liao Bin over. The two of them went through this plan together first.

  Only when they all think this plan is feasible will it be reported upwards. Otherwise, they would rather hold back and not send it up.

  "Lao Liao, what do you think of Sanping's report..." Looking at Liao Bin putting down the report, Ye Jianwen lit a cigarette for himself and asked directly.

  "Is he being a bit alarmist?! Will social order deteriorate to that extent?!" Liao Bin furrowed his brow, saying to Ye Jianwen: "This report, I think he's written it with some unwarranted assumptions..."

  "Lao Liao, don't you forget that the '225' case just happened last year..." But Ye Jianwen flicked his cigarette ash into the ashtray and said, "As population mobility increases, criminal crimes will also become more rampant. It's not necessarily impossible for someone to take a risk, what Sanping is worried about may gradually become a reality..."
