In a sense, Li Shuai and the old captain are the same type of people, both of whom have been in a lonely environment for a long time. A lonely boat in the vast sea has no other face except the twenty or thirty people on the boat. Once they leave the sea, they can be as short as three or five days or as long as half a month. When they encounter problems, they can only rely on themselves, and one of their own decisions may bring disaster.

The most important thing is that Li Shuai has experienced the situation of the old boat captain at this moment.

This old captain is not an ordinary landing craft captain. He has cooperated with the 404th Special Force to carry out missions. Perhaps the landing craft he was riding on would be a "multi-functional ship" that has been temporarily modified to accept various tasks.

It has been almost half a year since he arrived at the 301st Comprehensive Training Base. Li Shuai is lonely and his heart is lonely because he cannot find resonance with other new comrades. There is a wall between the 404th Special Forces and other comrades, just like two worlds. His past experiences and feelings are not understood by new comrades, and the high respect the new comrades and even superiors have also become isolated.

He could not even find resonance from Political Commissar Yuan, who was most familiar with him, and that loneliness could only be hidden deep in his heart.

Although it was his first meeting with the old captain, after a short conversation, Li Shuai clearly felt that the old captain gave him a familiar feeling, like the old commander of the old army. The old captain seemed to be able to perceive what he thought and his previous mental journey.

Li Shuai recalled not long ago and said slowly, "About half a year ago, I reached the crossroads of my life. The original road could not continue, either to the left or to the right, which was not the path I wanted. I had never thought of facing such a choice before, and I gave me two options that were completely out of my expectations."

"Let me guess. If you want to continue working in the old unit, you never thought that you would leave there one day, or that you would not want to leave such a life." The old captain said in a deep voice, "But you are injured. After you return to the team after you recover from injury, you can no longer work in your original position, or even stay in the old unit. At this time, you are discouraged and have the idea of ​​retiring. Your leader does your ideological work and hopes that you can stay in the army and continue to serve, because your leader may think that you can still play a greater role than ordinary non-commissioned officers when changing units. Xiao Li, the army is also very realistic, and only those who are useful to the army are qualified to stay. Being able to stay after being injured means that you are useful to the army. So don't think that it is the old unit that you feel that you have no use to kick you out."

Li Shuai was very surprised, looked at the old captain and asked, "Do you know the leader of my old unit?"

"How is it possible? Even if you meet one of the leaders, he can't talk to me about these things for no reason. Didn't I say that, I guessed it." The old captain said with a smile and pointed at Li Shuai, "I understand how you felt at that time, because I have experienced it."

Li Shuai breathed heavily and said, "Before I left the old unit, our chief told me that when I arrived at a new position, we must bring out batches of excellent soldiers, and we must not lose the face of 404. I agreed and promised, but to be honest, I thought that what soldiers could I, a half-disabled person, bring out?"

He pointed to the students in the swimming ferry and said, "There are three female soldiers among the training trainees who are the new recruits I am leading. I will tell you the truth. Although everyone usually sees me as confident, I feel very worried. It is not entirely because I am leading female soldiers, but also because I lack confidence in myself. After all, I am a seriously injured person."

Li Shuai patted his left leg, "The steel plate on his left calf has not been taken out yet. I have never trained with the recruits. I can only demonstrate the subjects with a little intensity in form. I never dared to follow them to run and struggle. They still have a lot of opinions on me. But I can't do anything about it."

The old captain nodded slowly, "You insisted on not going into the water because there were too many scars on your body, right?"

"You can even guess this." Li Shuai was impressed.

The old captain sighed, "I have cooperated with your actions, and more than once, I know you very well. I remember one time a few years ago, at dawn, there was only three of you who were not injured. When I received them, I didn't believe it was true. One of the seriously injured people had amputation surgery on the boat, which saved their lives. Xiao Li, you are the best. We people who insisted on being extraordinary in ordinary positions are actually just lying to coax the people. You who have lived and died for the people are extraordinary and real heroes."

"From that time, I rejected all interviews and publicity. What am I? I'm just a nonsense in my studies."

Such high praise made Li Shuai feel ashamed of his own, and shook his head and said, "No, no, old captain, that's not like this. Why can't there be heroes in ordinary positions? First of all, the saying of ordinary positions is wrong. There are no ordinary positions but only extraordinary people. The division of revolutionary labor is different, so we have to do this in this position. You and many other comrades in their positions should do this, and everyone is the same."

The old captain said with emotion, "I understand what you said, but in the final analysis, you are the most extraordinary among us soldiers. They still bear such high risks in non-war years and may even sacrifice their lives at any time. Xiao Li, to say that it is your fate to be able to get out of 404 alive."

"Yes, I once thought I was a deserter. Instead of walking away with a wounded body, it would be better to have fun with the enemy on the battlefield, or just take off my military uniform and go home." Li Shuai gritted his teeth, his eyes were wet, "My comrades who died are heroes."

The old captain said, "The people's comments are the same for you. My thoughts were as extreme as you, and I refused all interviews and publicity even for tasks. Later I figured out why I set me a model for more people and call on more people to learn in a better direction. This is not a personal matter, but a collective matter, and it is the reason why our troops can always regard honor as life."

"Yes, I'm not going to be stubborn now. In the position of instructor at the training base, I found that I have a lot to do, even if I am half-dead, I have to achieve some results, otherwise I would be ashamed of this military uniform." Li Shuai said simply and neatly.

The old captain nodded with satisfaction, "This time, this is the motivation that a young sergeant should have. You should be a fourth-level sergeant commander who was promoted to the forefront, right? Do it well, your future is very broad. I suggest you not to promote it, just walk down the road of the non-commissioned officer, and it will not be worse than the officer."

"That's right, I plan to be a soldier king. "Li Shuai nodded heavily, "If you work in the army until you retire, your life will be perfect."

The old captain laughed, "You are thinking about retirement at how old you are. Come step by step. You can see that you are a person with great skills, and I, Old B, will not have a bad vision."

After lit a cigarette, the old captain said, "Tell me what is your injury? Observing from the outside should not have a big impact, right?"

Li Shuai said, "The impact is not big, but high-intensity exercise is not recommended. The military doctor said so. In fact, I have received three months of rehabilitation training in the General Hospital. After returning to the team, I have been in the recovery training for more than a month before I was transferred to the 301st comprehensive training base in the South Land. It is not a big problem to be an instructor. I am mainly afraid that the injuries on my body will scare them. Sometimes I feel a little hideous when I look in the mirror myself."

"Then it's okay, are the scars? You are still young and will fade away slowly. Besides, men are still in the army, and some scars are more masculine." The old boatman comforted.

Li Shuai smiled and said, "That's not a little bit, it's really scary. But don't worry, my mentality has been adjusted long ago. I'm not shirtless, and no one can see it without taking off my clothes."

"Hahaha, you kid is so strong that you are beyond my expectations. This is what 404 comes out!" The old boatman laughed.

Li Shuai's whole person changed a little, his eyes became brighter, and the things in his heart were finally able to talk to those who empathized with him, and his depression for several months was gone. The experience of the old captain also made Li Shuai realize a fact. At this moment, there were many people like the old captain silently dedicated to various positions in the army. Who can they complain like, and who can they complain like?

In the 301st comprehensive training base, I have the attention and support from my leaders and so many comrades-in-arms. The work is going smoothly. Compared with the old captain and the others, if I still have resentment, I will be ungrateful and do not know how to be blessed. The so-called depression in my heart is really a whineless complaint, not the mind that a real man should have.

The five-kilometer armed swimming ended. The landing craft leaned over and the assault boats fished the students one by one and then transferred them to the landing craft. The landing craft of hundreds of tons seemed not worth mentioning, but it was an absolute behemoth for the big-headed soldiers. If the waves raised by the ship were not paid attention to, the soldiers in the water could be covered with unknown places. However, the old boat captain was not worried at all. The soldiers under his command were all extremely experienced.

The officers and soldiers of the landing craft were very skilled and brave. They opened the front hatch door and poured some sea water in, but they were very well controlled. The barrier plate formed a small slope parallel to the sea surface. In this way, the assault boat could rush up directly. After the students like chickens came down, they worked together to pull the assault boat up one after another.

This was a solution discussed by Li Shuai and the old captain. It was obviously not a comfortable thing to give the students this after the five-kilometer armed swimming. The assault boat is not a rubber boat. The thing is deadly. At least one class of people can lift it up and load it. Just as a assault boat is loaded with a class, each of which is responsible for pulling the assault boat up.

The old captain pointed and shouted at the students who were trying hard to tow boats, and said with a smile, "Xiao Li, how happy are you now compared to these children? Of course, you will definitely work harder when you are as old as them. So can we think so? This is a necessary process for everyone. How much you can get back depends on how much effort you have put in at this stage? You have paid a lot back back then, but now you are what you deserve, so you don't need to underestimate yourself at all."

"Old Captain, I haven't thought so before." Li Shuai said quickly.

The old captain smiled and said, "You can't hide it from my eyes. You have some unwillingness to give up, but you have some thoughts that you can't raise your head, right?"

Li Shuai smiled helplessly, "Yes, after all, he was injured and his basic physical conditions are not as good as ordinary people. He really has no confidence."

"You still think so now. We just talked in vain." The old captain said to the sea breeze, "Don't be happy with things or sad with yourself. You are an instructor. First of all, you must adjust your own mentality. You must not only adjust it well, but also learn how to adjust it. These must be taught to the students. Excellent instructors not only grant the students tactical skills, but also help them establish a complete personal ideological and spiritual system."

Li Shuai was very impressed and said, "You are experienced in the old captain. To be honest, I am a recruit in the position of instructor. The training at the comprehensive training base is not the same as the training at my old unit. I am also constantly learning and moving forward."

"Since you have this understanding, you should not belittle yourself. I can see that many of your words and deeds are intentional. You conceal the fact that you are hurt, and you are afraid that others will look down on you if you find out, right?" asked the old captain.

Li Shuai nodded ashamed.

In his own eyes, he is a semi-disabled person. Objectively, his physical fitness may be much better than that of ordinary people, but compared with his comrades in the old unit, he is a semi-disabled person. Speaking of roots, his thinking has not changed completely, and has not yet fully adapted to the environment and standards of ordinary troops.

Political Commissar Yuan is the leader, so of course he will not talk to Li Shuai about these specific details. Moreover, these specific problems need to be solved by yourself, otherwise you will not be qualified to lead the training. How can a person who cannot even handle his own thoughts and understanding as an instructor to teach others how to deal with his thoughts and understanding?

The old captain had no rules and regulations in his eyes, and saw Li Shuai's various concerns and concerns. Of course, he did not want such an excellent young man, such a young non-commissioned officer who made such great contributions to the army, to suffer from these troubles. No one would say that over time, it would not affect his entire ideological understanding.

"In a word, you not only survived such a difficult situation in 404, but also felt like you were in water. There is no reason why you would be a instructor at the comprehensive training base and be a stumped you." The old captain concluded.
