Xia Jigang sat on a supply box beside the main entrance road of the 813 base with a lonely expression. His suit jacket, which he always took care of meticulously, was scattered beside him, and two or three buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned. He looked at it with dull eyes.
Somewhere on the ground was dazed, and occasionally let out a long sigh.
“Mr.
.
The morning sun has slowly risen from the mountains, and workers are eating breakfast on the winding road. The breakfast pastries in paper bags are passed here from unknown places in the distance, through person-to-person transmission. They are delivered to the end.
When one person holds it, the quantity is just right.
Several soldiers from the Engineer Regiment carrying lunch boxes stood with the workers eating breakfast.
"Hey, it's very well organized." A soldier said.
"We are just a group of ordinary workers. We just want to know why we work so hard. We are not a mob, so what kind of organization do we need?" A worker said bitterly.
The soldier smiled:
"Yeah, everyone wants to know."
Red and blue lights flashed on the highway in the distance, and howling sirens echoed in the river valley. A string of police motorcycles drove over from a distance. The police did not seem to be targeting the workers, and the workers also
There was no blocking their way. There were thirty or forty motorcycles in that row, and they did not stop until they reached the main entrance of Project 813.
The SWAT officers who jumped off the motorcycle immediately circled an open space next to the entrance and lit several smoke sticks in the open space. Although the workers did not know what the SWAT officers were going to do, they did not hinder their work.
At this time, the rumble of fighter engines rang out in the sky. Soon, a helicopter slowly came over and landed on the open space surrounded by the special police. The person who got off the helicopter was mostly workers and soldiers present.
We all know him because he often appears on TV news.
The SWAT captain rushed to greet him. The leader simply said a few words to the captain, who immediately stood up straight and gave a military salute. Then, all the SWAT police quickly evacuated to a corner behind the helicopter. The leader held a
The document bag strode forward.
Xia Jigang squeezed out from the crowd and hurried forward to meet him. But the leader just glanced at him sideways and walked past him. Workers and soldiers also gathered around him spontaneously, but did not block the leader's way. They all
They nodded to the leader who they often saw on TV, and the leader also smiled and nodded at them one by one.
Surrounded by the crowd, the leader came to a military vehicle at the main entrance of the 813 Project. With the help of several workers around him, he stood on the hood of the vehicle in a relatively vigorous manner. Although he still had black hair, his face was
The wrinkles on it are already very rough.
The crowd spontaneously fell silent.
A live broadcast camera was set up next to the military vehicle. The leader picked up the document bag in his hand and said in a loud voice:
"Dear fellow workers, the information I'm holding in my hand was transferred from the archives office before I set off. I haven't had time to open it yet. I believe the content here is the same as the information in the engineering office here.
It’s exactly the same. It records the establishment and use functions of the 813 Project.”
The leader handed the document bag with the "confidential" seal to the worker closest to him. The document bag was passed among the crowd, but no one broke the seal.
"Project 813 is an emergency underground command center. If the central command center loses its ability to dispatch the armed forces in the doomsday war, then this place will become the command center of the southwest theater. But this is only one of the purposes of constructing Project 813. The underground project
Another role is to verify our current capabilities in underground engineering construction."
There was a small commotion in the surrounding crowd, which made the special police officers nearby very nervous. But the leader looked calm.
"We do have a preliminary research plan to build large-scale permanent underground fortifications across the country, but this is fundamentally different from the 'garland plan' in Europe. In the future doomsday war, people over 14 years old and under 60 years old,
Both men and women must participate in what may be the most brutal early battle.
But in addition, there are children and the elderly. It is difficult for them to survive in the early stages of the fierce fighting, and we cannot abandon them coldly. Because they may be our children, our parents. They need a place to hide.
The most terrifying phase of the battle.
Regardless of whether we can survive the most brutal stage of war, we should do so. Because this is our obligation as human beings and as a civilization to the weak in our race, and it is also our moral bottom line."
The crowd was very quiet, and everyone had a sad look in their eyes.
"Before encountering the crisis of this alien civilization invasion, our nation also went through hundreds of years of suffering and ravage. We made countless attempts and made countless sacrifices. Only then did we survive in the quagmire rolled over by the wheels of history.
We found a way to survive, and finally we achieved the great rejuvenation of our nation and stood firm among the nations of the world again.
To achieve all this, we do not rely on the assistance of international organizations, inspiring speeches, the equipment of Zidian Qingshuang, or the kindness of the enemy. What we rely on is the power of unity from top to bottom and the perseverance of gathering sand into a tower! But we must
The only way to achieve unity is to let everyone know why we are fighting!"
The crowd became slightly restless, and people's eyes sparkled with excitement.
"I am just like you, just an ordinary person of flesh and blood. I am about to face a powerful and ruthless enemy, and my heart is full of fear. I don't know what the chances of winning the doomsday battle a few years from now are, but I know. The only thing
The only hope of survival is to work hard now to improve the planetary defense system, and to fight with all our strength to drive away powerful invaders in the future.
Only in this way is it possible to protect ourselves and our cherished homeland. We do not fight for any reason, only for our own survival! For our homeland! Nothing else!
On behalf of the country and EDA, I can solemnly promise to the people working on the production line all over the world that when the doomsday war comes, everyone will stand shoulder to shoulder and no one can hide behind!"
Deafening applause sounded on the highway, and the applause echoed in the winding river valley, and it took a long time to slowly dissipate.
Finally, the leader lowered his voice and said solemnly:
"If we do all the above, we are still unable to save ourselves. At least, we can say goodbye to our comrades around us and die generously without any regrets!"
The document bag with the "confidential" seal was passed back intact. The worker who handed it over just smiled and said nothing. The leader took the document bag and nodded lightly with tears in his eyes.
The workers turned around and walked towards the factory. During the whole process, apart from the singing of birds, there was only the sound of dense footsteps in the valley.
