Early morning

The sky just showed white

A street with dense tenement buildings in Red River Valley City

In a room

The room was simply furnished. Apart from a bed, a cabinet, a table and a stool, there was nothing unnecessary. A military uniform was neatly stacked on the table, with pistol holsters and sabers pressed on it. Two oil paper bags were randomly placed on the other side, with leftover chicken bones and a small piece of gnawed steamed buns inside.

The people on the bed were sleeping with a quilt wrapped around their heads, with only half of their furry bare legs exposed outside. The room was filled with a strong smell of male hormones and feet, and some smell of rotten overnight meals.

When the cold morning light shone through the window lattice, the person on the bed woke up from his deep sleep, and lifted the quilt with a confused look on his face. This person was Li Shuanzhu.

He yawned lazily, suddenly his nose twitched, sat up and hugged his stinky feet and smelled it, and quickly let go with disgust.

Really, it's too smelly.

Li Shuanzhu's just action touched the sore muscles all over his body, and his face grinned with pain. "I'm so mom, this body is not mine. The instructor of the personal guard is really cruel!"

He sat on the bed and looked back at the sky, endured the soreness of his muscles all over his body, and he got up. The training with a large amount of exercise every day has become the norm and he must grit his teeth and pass it.

After recovering from injury, Li Shuanzhu was lucky enough to enter the pro-guard recruit training camp and became a reserve officer.

The school system of Red River Valley Middle School is two years. After graduation, except for no more than 20% of outstanding students who can go to Red River Valley University for further studies, everyone else will go to society.

The four cavalry guards of Dragon, Tiger, Leopard, Wolf, replenished their troops and expanded their new companies, recruited more than 1,300 young students who were determined to join the army. The Royal Mounted Police in Queensland recruited more than 460 people. In addition, the Shangri-La Garrison Division is currently being planned to build more than 800 people at one time, all of which are students from the Eagle Program who graduated from the Young Eagle Program.

It is said that the next step will be to build the Queensland Garrison, which requires more than 1,500 fresh middle school graduates.

Others have successively entered various industrial and mining enterprises, urban and rural departments, and worked hard for their future.

After a moment

Li Shuanzhu had finished washing and put on his military uniform, hung up his shiny saber and gun, put on shiny long boots, and cleaned up his whole body, and there was no wrinkle on his uniform.

When I walked to the mirror, I saw a heroic and strong young soldier with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked particularly energetic in a military uniform.

Li Shuanzhu suddenly winked and showed a grimace. He smiled happily in the mirror. His temperament, which was originally much more calm in the military uniform, broke instantly, revealing the naughty side of an 18-year-old boy.

He pulled out the Colt nine-mm standard revolver in the holster, raised the pistol with a cold steel glow to his face, and put a cold pose in front of the mirror. Then he couldn't hold it in and laughed "hehe" and happily exposed his back teeth.

This happens sometimes, and that happens sometimes.

Li Shuanzhu showed off various postures in front of the mirror, and he enjoyed it alone, but his happiest little trick every morning was always able to play happily.

"Nothing to say, it's a pretty boy."

He nodded with satisfaction and made a final conclusion to his image. He inserted the standard gun into the holster, his face regained a calm and serious expression, and reached out to creak and pushed open the wooden door with a "squeak".

Li Shuanzhu walked out of the room and brought the door. His room didn't need to be locked, there was nothing inside, and the mouse would cry when he saw it.

I am so poor that I should wear all my money on my body, and even the quilt is rented by the landlord.

As I walked down the wooden stairs, a fragrant pasta fragrance had already floated from my nose. The first floor was the home's business place, mainly selling various porridge soups for breakfast, soups for casseroles and buns.

This is a senior gold digger from Guangdong Province, known as Yutou Ge. After becoming a naturalized person in Honghe Valley City, he used Huitong Bank's loan to buy a three-story tenement building. He opened a breakfast shop on the first floor, and rented it on the second and third floors to make more money.

Brother Yutou married a native white wife from Central America. He now has a second child. The older boy can run around the ground, while the younger one is still in his infancy.

"Hey, A Shuan, I got up so early! Are you going to eat here today or go out to eat?" The busy brother Yutou heard the sound of the stairs and turned around and saw Li Shuanzhu in military uniform coming down, and quickly greeted him loudly.

"Brother Yutou, of course you have to try your skills in the morning. I know the soup you make is the most beautiful. Give me a piece of pork ribs and winter melon soup, 5 buns and a bowl of fish fillet porridge, the old rules... keep the bookkeeping." Li Shuanzhu replied very well.

"Haole, you can find a place to live first, and winter melon, pork rib soup will come soon."

"No hurry, Brother Yutou, you can come to other guests first."

"Then wait a moment, brother A Shuan."

"It's okay."

Li Shuanzhu picked up a few buns from the steaming cage, and walked over to sit down. Several guests had already sat on the table. Seeing this, he hurriedly gave him a place to make room for him.

"Sir, sit here."

"Thanks."

There were about a dozen guests sitting in the breakfast restaurant, and from time to time, there were also guests carrying baskets and basins to make a breakfast to eat. They were all residents living nearby and the business was quite good.

On this densely crowded street, there are more than 20 breakfast shops in various types. The steamer and bamboo trunk along the street are steaming, and the fragrance of steamed buns and porridge is scattered, full of the strong atmosphere of life.

In the daily necessities shop diagonally opposite the street, melodious singing came from the brass speaker with a phonograph. This is the song "The Spring Breeze Difficult to Yumen Pass" by Bai Lan, a famous Chinese actress who has been popular recently.

This song, based on ancient poems, was deeply interpreted by the famous actor Bai Lan, and the tune was sad and resentful, as if a young lady from the boudoir who was waiting for her husband's return from the army day and night, was filled with sorrow on the bright spring days, and her heart had already flown into the distance.

The phonograph from the United States quickly became popular in Chinese society. Opera, crosstalk and songs recorded with vinyl records became popular and became an emerging entertainment industry.

Many famous opera actors became popular because of this, attracting a large number of voters, and theater owners also made a lot of money.

Finished breakfast

Li Shuanzhu greeted Brother Yutou and then walked along the street.

This is the old city developed by Honghe Valley City. It is mainly composed of 2 to 3 floors of buildings. Among the large Chinese eaves, some Western buildings are occasionally mixed with them, showing the diverse style of immigrant cities.

It's still early now, and many large shops and banks have not opened. Li Shuanzhu walked along the clean and clean stone road, and his leather boots hit the hard road, making a rhythmic "click" sound.

His face was serious and firm, his arms swung rhythmically back and forth, and his body was straight, revealing the cool and heroic posture of a young officer.

Occasionally, there will be one or two early girls on the roadside. After seeing this, they can't help but stop and follow the tall figure of this young soldier to go away.

"Hey, isn't this a sling pillar?"

Hearing the crisp sound of horse hooves and a warm greeting in his ears, Li Shuanzhu turned around and found that it was Li Siyuan, the instructor of the recruit training camp of the professional guards, who was two years earlier than him.

Li Shuanzhu immediately put his legs together and gave a clean salute, "Good morning instructor!"

"Hello."

Li Siyuan rode his horse and replied with a smile. "Shuanzhu, my recent training performance is very good. Do you have any plans after completing my next step?"

"Instructor, aren't we all replenishing the personal guards? Is there any other place to go?" Li Shuanzhu asked for a moment of fright.

"Hehe... it's different now." Li Siyuan turned over and got off the horse, led the reins and walked forward side by side, looking at the buildings lined up in front of him with a ray of excitement flashing, and said;

"I believe you also know the recent form from the radio broadcast. We are likely to have a fierce battle with the Dutch. For this reason, the military has carried out a large-scale mobilization to expand the army and planned to build a new Shangri-La garrison. The well-known military bosses fought hard for this. This is the first established army division in our Red River Valley, which is of great significance!"

"Instructor, I know about this, but I don't know much about the details."

"Haha... You stay in the training camp every day now, turning a blind eye to things outside the window, but this won't work!"

Instructor Li Siyuan and Li Shuanzhu have a good relationship and don’t mind revealing some internal news. Anyway, they will be announced publicly soon; "Shuanzhu, do you know who the Shangri-La garrison commander has fallen?"

"I really don't know this, please tell me clearly."

"The commander of the four cavalry guards of Dragon, Tiger, Leopard, Wolf, and several German bosses are all interested in competing for this important position. In the end, the principal decided to be the deputy chief of staff, Yuchi Shouzhuo, to take the important position. He is one of the five tiger generals of the Hongmen, and the principal trained himself." Instructor Li Siyuan proudly revealed this secret.

"It turned out to be Lord Yuchi Shouzhuo. I saw him three months ago. He followed the principal to visit the ward and looked very kind." Li Shuanzhu immediately remembered and had an impression of being overlapped with a senior officer in his 30s.

Li Siyuan instructed, "After all, I am the superior and inferior."

"I understand the humble position."

"The establishment of the Shangri-La Division is the top priority today. For this reason, 200 experienced officers will be selected from the Four Cavalry Guards and the Protective Guards. Many of our Protective Guards have signed up. I am one of them. Don't you want to go?" Li Siyuan asked.

"I... can I do it?" Li Shuanzhu said at a loss and pointed to his chest. "At that time, the principal came to the hospital to visit. I personally said that I would serve with the principal. Moreover, I have not completed the officer training, so I am afraid that it does not meet the standards, right?"

"Haha... you are really a elm-headed person." Li Zhiyuan smiled and explained to him. "How soldiers show loyalty to the principal is naturally to kill enemies on the battlefield. They are willing to give their lives and blood, and fulfill their oath with practical actions. In this way, they will live up to the hard training of the principal. As for the officer standards, you have finished the training in more than a month. It is just in time to form an infantry battalion in the later stage. I think you are good, so I advise you. You can't miss this opportunity!"

Li Shuanzhu was very moved and thought about it carefully and said, "If this is the case, then I am willing to participate. Instructor, if you go, I will be the only one."

"Okay, happy." Li Siyuan nodded happily and patted Li Shuanzhu's shoulder. "My transfer application has been approved by the top peak and will leave the training camp today. I guess he will be the head of a company. At that time, I will leave you a platoon leader. We two brothers work together. As soldiers, we should gain wealth on the battlefield and make a future for ourselves, so that we can live up to our lives!"

"What the instructor said makes sense, I'll listen to you." Li Shuanzhu made a very straightforward statement. Since he had decided, he would not look back.
