Chapter 70

The recruits took the train south and then east to Almaty, the capital of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Wearing brand-new military uniforms, Xie liaosha and these young people who are going to the battlefield enjoy the vast territory of the Soviet Union. Probably to make a good impression on the new soldiers, the food on the train was good. Milk and bacon were provided every day. When they got on the train, the officer in charge of the team gave each soldier a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of vodka. But wine is only for dinner.

As he is not allowed to walk around on the train or leave his car at will, he even has to report to the toilet, and he can only go to one person at a time. Therefore, even if Xie liaosha wants to escape, he has no chance to escape. Probably because this train is a military train, it seldom stops along the way. Only a few big cities along the way to stop, even so, the train still opened four days and three nights to reach Almaty.

After getting off the train, the soldiers in a neat line went to the cars that had been waiting in the square for a long time, and soon the cars carried the soldiers out of the city. Xie liaosha looks at the scenery outside the window through the window. The only impression Almaty gives Xie liaosha is the ubiquitous portrait of Brezhnev with medals. It's no wonder that Brezhnev once served as the first Secretary of Kazakhstan here.

The scenery along the way became more and more desolate, and the sun gradually set. It took the car about two hours to reach its final destination, an unknown Air Force Base on the outskirts of Almaty. After taking the train for four days and three nights and taking the bus for two hours, everyone was forced to stand in the cold wind and wait for the leader's speech. Although it is summer now, the airport is built in the open suburbs, where the temperature difference between day and night is relatively large. Everyone was shivering with cold, but the guy on the stage was reading the manuscript slowly in his thick coat. There was the sound of planes taking off and landing from time to time. The huge noise completely engulfed the sound on the stage, and he could not hear what the fool was saying.

That guy read it for more than half an hour. After he had enough official addiction, many people were taken to the restaurant for dinner. Dinner is in the form of a buffet, with barbecues, snacks, wine and other things. It's completely open to the public. You can eat as much as you like. They ate a little of everything, and the taste was really no match for father Petrov's craftsmanship. Vodka is also cheap, but Xie liaosha still secretly filled his kettle with vodka. Yuri and they saw Xie liaosha do it like this and secretly drew gourds.

After dinner, the people marched back to the camp. The accommodation in the camp was good. There was a dormitory for five people. There was a bath and a place to sleep in the dormitory. For several days, he stayed in the turbulent carriage and worried about the pursuit of the police and KGB. They were very tired. After taking a hot bath, they fell asleep in bed until the next morning when the assembly call sounded.

Xie liaosha is also a passer-by. Naturally, he knows what the assembly number means. He quickly wakes up Yuri and them, and then cleans up his bed. The internal affairs of the Red Army in the Soviet Union were not so abnormal as those in China. They had to pile up tofu all day. The Red Army doesn't give out quilts, they only have blankets, so they just need to spread them well. Xie liaosha thinks that the Soviet Union is very pragmatic. When Xie liaosha was a soldier in his last life, the quilt was just a decoration. In order to make the quilt look good, he watered it and pressed it with wood every day, which was a waste of time.

Xie liaosha opened the wardrobe, took out a brand-new military uniform from inside, dressed neatly, and finally opened the boat type hat to wear on his head. The hat emblem on the hat is a red Pentagon, and in the middle is a golden sickle and axe. Xie liaosha had a sense of responsibility in his heart for no reason. He thought of his military career in the previous life. Originally thought that this life can only be a rogue, did not expect to put on a uniform.

To my surprise, I didn't do any morning exercises in the morning. I just told everyone to pack up their belongings and go to breakfast, because I would leave here after breakfast. In the constant urging of the leader, the new soldiers wolfed down their breakfast. Xie liaosha had something in mind, so he just took a few bites. A few of them had just finished eating when the assembly call outside the door sounded again. All the soldiers were ordered to go back to the dormitory at once and get their luggage ready to assemble.

Everyone ran out of the canteen to the dormitory where they slept last night. After taking their luggage, they ran back downstairs to stand up. Some guys were probably in a hurry to eat, and they vomited on the spot.

After the gathering, the officer in charge of leading the team immediately counted the number of people, and then ran to the airport with orderly steps. From a distance, Xie liaosha saw that several air force Il-76 transport planes had been waiting for them in the distance.

They were taken on the plane. There were only two rows of seats in the cabin, with a tank and some ammunition in the middle. After waiting about ten minutes, the back door of the plane gradually closed. Xie liaosha looked inside the plane. The whole cabin was white, and several headlights were bright. The seats are distributed on both sides of the plane. They are folding seats, arranged face to face. There is a big package hanging above each seat. Xie liaosha estimates that it is a parachute.

In the middle of the two rows of seats is a camouflaged T-72 main battle tank. The huge body is firmly fixed on the plane by ropes. There are also some large packages on the tank, which may not be seen as useful by others. Xie liaosha understood that the big packages were parachutes, which were used to parachute vehicles.

Just as Xie liaosha was still looking around, the plane began to move slowly. It's not the first time that Xie liaosha has been a man of two generations. It's definitely the first time that he has been a military transport plane. The captain reminded everyone to fasten their seat belts and not to be nervous. Then the music began to play.

Although he can't see the scene outside, Xie liaosha can feel the aircraft begin to accelerate. He can hear the sound of tires rubbing against the ground and the roar of the aircraft engine. Slowly, the plane began to leave the ground, Xie liaosha felt a sense of weightlessness. He could feel the plane start to climb, then fall, climb again, fall again. All of a sudden, the plane began to pull up rapidly, and then glide sideways. Xie liaosha felt like he was hanging on his seat. Suddenly, the captain's voice of schadenfreude came from the radio: "airborne soldiers, taste the tumbling in your stomach!"

Xie liaosha finally couldn't help vomiting.
