Chapter 143 You heartless brat!
The maintenance personnel had not received professional training, and their physical fitness was clearly insufficient.
Therefore, soldiers are needed to accompany them down to the cliff face, which is hundreds of meters deep.
Because of the snow accumulation, the cliff face was covered in ice, making it extremely slippery and offering no foothold.
Repairing the damage was extremely difficult, but in order for the scientific research to proceed smoothly, we had no choice but to bite the bullet and get on with it.
Finally, it was decided that four soldiers would go with two maintenance personnel.
Gu Nan has outstanding physical fitness and excellent skills, so he is one of the four soldiers.
To ensure the smooth progress of the repair work, more than twenty soldiers accompanied the team on the cliff.
The six people who went down were all tied with safety ropes, so that if any danger occurred, those above could pull them up.
That way, we can at least try to ensure safety.
However, the cliff is not flat, and there are many icicles protruding from it.
Therefore, the safety rope has multiple areas of wear.
The accident happened anyway.
This time, it was the leader who risked his life again to rescue Gu Nan and the others.
Gu Nan saw in the commander the spirit of a soldier, and the perseverance to never give up in the face of adversity.
The leader also saw hope in the new generation.
Although these veterans are getting older and their physical strength is not as good as before, they are the new generation nurtured by the motherland.
They are carrying on the beliefs of their generation, passing the baton, and protecting the vast land of their motherland with their own flesh and blood.
This is the hope of a nation.
After this incident, Gu Nan learned the name of this leader.
Lu Huaqiang.
Chief Lu also learned of Gu Nan's name.
Afterwards, Gu Nan and the others led their team back to their own base. Almost a year later, Chief Lu was transferred to Gu Nan's base to serve as the supreme commander.
At the inauguration ceremony, Gu Nan saw once again the figure he looked up to.
Perhaps it was fate that brought the two together, as Gu Nan frequently distinguished himself in battle under Lu Huaqiang's command, and his official rank rose steadily.
Although the two men had vastly different military ranks, they had a very good relationship.
It can be said that Lu Huaqiang witnessed Gu Nan's growth firsthand, and that Gu Nan was a soldier whom Lu Huaqiang had personally trained.
No matter how difficult the task, Gu Nan can complete it with excellent results.
Gu Nan dared to do what others didn't.
When others worried that the task wouldn't be completed, Gu Nan stepped up.
Twenty years old! He became a regimental commander at the age of twenty.
This was almost unprecedented; Gu Nan had a long list of military achievements and a very promising future.
However, in the same year that he became the regimental commander, Gu Nan was forced to leave the army due to family problems.
Lu Huaqiang felt regretful for a long time; such a promising talent is truly rare.
If Gu Nan were given a chance, and if Gu Nan were still in the army, Lu Huaqiang felt that his future was limitless.
Pulling her thoughts back, Gu Nan looked at the black and white photo in front of her with red eyes.
Gu Nan was unwilling to leave the army, the place he longed for, and his ideals.
But leaving was something I had no choice but to do.
If given the chance, wouldn't Gu Nan also want to go back?
Moreover, starting from that avalanche, over the next four years, he developed a mentor-student and friend-like relationship with his old leader.
He looked at him like a junior, allowing Gu Nan to feel the care and warmth from an elder even in the army.
Unfortunately, Gu Nan knew that he might never be able to return to the army and see his old commander again in his lifetime.
Gu Nan reached out, wanting to touch the person in the black and white photograph in front of him.
But his hand remained frozen in mid-air.
Gu Nan stood at attention and gave a standard military salute to the old commander in the photo.
Little did they know, this action was witnessed by someone who had just arrived.
The old man and the elderly man in the Tang suit wanted to invite Su Niannian to dinner, but Su Niannian said that her fiancé was still outside.
The two elderly men were shocked. Su Niannian looked so young, yet she already had a fiancé?
Both of them expressed a desire to meet Su Niannian's fiancé. If he wasn't a good person, they even considered acting as matchmakers for Su Niannian.
After all, Su Niannian has a very good character and way of dealing with people.
The two old guys really liked it.
Just as she walked into the side hall to see the fiancé Su Niannian had mentioned, she saw Gu Nan standing at attention and saluting in front of the photo.
When the old man saw this scene, his eyes became somewhat cloudy.
He had been a brave and skilled warrior all his life, and had seen all kinds of great scenes. But looking at the figure standing not far away, he thought of someone.
Seeing Gu Nan's movements, Su Niannian looked in the direction he was facing.
It was a black and white photograph, featuring soldiers. Considering Gu Nan's past experiences, Su Niannian felt that there must be someone Gu Nan respected in the photograph.
Seeing this, the three of them did not make a sound to disturb Gu Nan, and stood quietly at a distance.
Gu Nan saluted for a long time, looking at the commander in front of him, feeling guilty.
Due to family reasons, I had to leave the military unit I loved and my old commander.
He felt guilty. He knew how much his old superior had expected of him, and in the end, he had let him down.
The old leader must be very disappointed in him. Thinking of this, and all the past events, Gu Nan's nose started to sting a little.
The salute only stopped slowly.
Gu Nan turned away somewhat dejectedly.
Three figures came into Gu Nan's view.
Instantly, Gu Nan's excitement surged.
Because he saw his old superior, Mr. Lu Huaqiang.
Gu Nan's eyes reddened, and he wanted to say something, but it felt like something was blocking his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word.
When Chief Lu saw that it was Gu Nan, he was initially happy, but he quickly suppressed the joy on his face.
He stared at Gu Nan with a serious expression.
Seeing Gu Nan standing there blankly, Chief Lu frowned and strode over.
In the end, it was the old man who broke the silence first.
"You heartless brat, humph!" The old man stood fiercely in front of Gu Nan and glared at him.
Hearing the familiar voice, Gu Nan even felt an urge to cry.
Tears welled up in Gu Nan's eyes, but he forced them back, refusing to let them fall.
Because Chief Lu had told Gu Nan before that a true man sheds blood but not tears.
From the moment they put on their uniforms, they become tough men, and they cannot cry even if they are cut and bleed.
"You brat, haven't you recognized me in two years?" Chief Lu saw that he had already walked up to Gu Nan, but this silly boy hadn't said a word.
Gu Nan remained standing there, his face a mixture of excitement and guilt.
For a fleeting moment, Gu Nan didn't dare look Chief Lu in the eye.
"What I taught you before, has it all gone to waste?" Chief Lu was furious when he saw Gu Nan's appearance. How come the person he had painstakingly trained had lost all his integrity?
He raised his leg and kicked Gu Nan in the butt.
