Chapter 008 Some things are expected
"Chenxing died?"
In the largest auto repair shop in Xinfeng City, the repairmen gathered in front of the TV were filled with disbelief.
Some of them grew up watching Ji Chenxing, and some grew up with Ji Chenxing. In those years, Ji Xinghe often brought Ji Chenxing to the repair shop, and he also taught Ji Chenxing when working and teaching his disciples, but
Ji Chenxing is not very keen on learning to repair cars.
It's not because Ji Chenxing is not good at learning. The old people in the repair shop all know that Ji Chenxing only wants to learn to drive mechas and repair mechas, but no one in this repair shop knows these things. They only know how to repair cars.
For this reason, Ji Xinghe began to teach himself how to drive and repair mechas. However, the problem was that Ji Xinghe, who only had theoretical knowledge, could not convince Ji Chenxing, nor could he convince other people in the repair shop, so Ji Chenxing never followed suit.
Ji Xinghe learns knowledge about machine repair and driving.
"So, Lao Ji came over this morning and made two knives..."
An old master who was about to retire suddenly spoke up, which reminded everyone else in the repair shop of the scene they had seen when they came to work in the morning.
In the open space outside the warehouse, Ji Xinghe moved out a special alloy plate that the auto repair shop used to modify the bulletproof function of the space flight vehicle, and then used the tools of the auto repair shop to cut, shape, and polish it.
They were two short knives, both with handguards. After they were successfully made, there was no sharp edge. When Ji Xinghe insisted on paying the money, he argued with the owner of the repair shop and the car repairmen for a long time, but he never said why.
To make two knives.
The people at the repair shop were still thinking of going to Ji Xinghe’s house after work today. Although Ji Xinghe has always been steady and honest, it is often this kind of person who causes big things. They all made the knives themselves, so that’s for sure.
It would make people worried.
However, they already knew the reason before they went to find Ji Xinghe after get off work today.
The people in the repair shop were silent. When they heard the question asked by Ji Xinghe on the TV, they subconsciously wanted to answer "no problem", but their reason told them that there was a big problem.
Old man, you are too old.
People who also had this idea include those who knew him in Ji Xinghe Community, people from Xinfengcheng Police Station, people in the detention center, and many, many spectators.
They all felt that there was no problem with Ji Xinghe's desire to avenge his son who died on the battlefield, but they also all felt that there was a big problem with this.
…
Pei Jing, who was interviewing Ji Xinghe outside the Xinfengcheng Gymnasium, couldn't even say the four words "no problem". Even though these four words had appeared in her mind just now, she almost blurted it out, but she couldn't.
After I blurted it out for the first time, I couldn't say it anymore.
"Old sir, you..." Pei Jing was arranging words and sentences in her mind, but couldn't think of anything more appropriate. She could only say helplessly: "You are too old. I think you are almost sixty years old, right?"
"
Ji Xinghe, who is already sixty-five years old, looks like he is almost sixty, but whether he is almost sixty or sixty-five, he is still an old man.
"I am sixty-five years old." Ji Xinghe looked at the camera and answered Pei Jing's words. This was not because he was arrogant, but because he wanted to use public opinion at all costs: "But at sixty-five, can't I avenge my son?
At the age of sixty-five, can't you join the army and serve the Federation? At the age of sixty-five, you have become a useless person. Living is a waste of resources, and you can't provide any help to our society?"
Is this still the honest and steady Ji Xinghe?
People who know Ji Xinghe feel that Ji Xinghe has changed, while people who don’t know Ji Xinghe feel that Ji Xinghe is relying on his old age, growing in heights, and being labeled as a big person.
For example, Pei Jing now feels like she is riding a tiger. People aged sixty-five and above account for 17.2% of the total population of the Federation. This is a very high proportion. The population of the Federation is already aging seriously.
If she doesn't answer well, it will be equivalent to offending the 17.2% of the elderly, and losing her job will be a trivial matter.
Why doesn't the director's voice sound from the headphones? I'm still broadcasting my interview at this time. Is there something going on?
The director of Xinfengcheng TV is actually very innocent. If he dares to cut off this live broadcast at this time, his job will probably be lost. The real-time increase in ratings shows that many people are watching and want to watch.
Many people will see it later, and if you prevent them from seeing it, you will offend them.
This Pei Jing, if you interview so many people but don't interview him, are you trying to cause trouble?
"That's not what I meant, old sir."
Pei Jing looked at Ji Xinghe with aggrieved eyes. She was a beauty. In the past, her eyes were always invincible, but today she was facing Ji Xinghe. It was equivalent to Ji Xinghe who had been fighting for a lifetime. She was already 65 years old.
Ji Xinghe, who was one year old, was said to be Ji Xinghe who was one year old by Major General Tu Yuan.
"Then what do you mean?" Ji Xinghe said with an expressionless face and a cold tone: "Then what do you mean? They said that anyone over the age of 18 can sign up to join the army. Why didn't I sign up when I came?"
Pei Jing finally discovered the blind spot: "Old sir, no one is preventing you from signing up. But after signing up, there are physical tests and professional skills tests. You can't pass the test at your age."
Ji Xinghe continued to look at the camera: "What if I can pass these tests?"
Pei Jing didn't want to answer, but everyone around her remained silent. Holding the microphone, she had to respond before the live broadcast was interrupted.
"Of course you can join the army."
"I think it should be like this." Ji Xinghe finally looked away from the camera and looked around, and asked loudly: "What about you? Do you think this is the case?"
Some good people echoed, some offered kind words, and some held up their mobile phones to take pictures. The surroundings became noisy again, which made Pei Jing breathe a sigh of relief, but she quickly picked it up again.
"Little girl." Ji Xinghe looked at Pei Jing: "You are a reporter and you want to interview me. Do you want to interview and broadcast the process of my participation in the assessment?"
"ah?"
Pei Jing wanted to refuse, but the voice from the earphones forced her to agree.
"Yes, sir, as long as the federal military doesn't stop us, we can broadcast it live."
It was unclear whether the federal military would stop Ji Xinghe. He raised his feet and walked towards the place where the registration was to be verified. This time, the crowded crowd moved aside automatically, with Pei Jing and the cameraman following closely behind him.
"Hello, I want to sign up to join the army. This is my ID."
You have to register online in advance. We only verify your identity here.
The staff at the registration office couldn't say these two sentences, because there were hundreds of people behind Ji Xinghe looking directly at them, and there were even more people who couldn't look directly at them, but were looking at them in various ways.
They were also looking at Ji Xinghe's back.
And this time the conscription does only stipulate a lower age limit. This is not a mistake, because there are physical fitness and other assessments. Old men and old ladies are very good at dancing in the square and squeezing in the bus to collect eggs, but they will not come to take part in the assessment. It is embarrassing.
No one could have expected that a sixty-five-year-old man would come to sign up, and the reason was even more difficult to refuse directly in person: he wanted to avenge his son, who died on the front line for the Union.
"good."
The staff began to register Ji Xinghe's identity information and arrange the physical fitness test. Pei Jing began to communicate with the staff and asked if they could enter it to shoot and live broadcast. The staff began to apply to their superiors, and Pei Jing got the authorization without any surprise.
This is an open recruitment activity, and the top brass of the federal military also hope to gain more attention and attract more people to join the army.
