This is a small monitoring room. The monitoring room is full of all kinds of sundries. On the ground, there are all kinds of tin cans and half eaten compressed biscuit boxes. More than a dozen soldiers in dirty military uniforms look at the numb screen and don't make a sound.
The smell in the control room was full of sweat and some bad food. After a long silence, a husky voice said, "what do you think?"
"I think they may just want to find some supplies, maybe they won't move the missile silo." A nervous voice came out of the crowd.
"Maybe? probably? What do you think this is, huh? " The hoarse voice sounded again. The owner of the voice was a middle-aged soldier who was nearly 40 years old. In this closed and stuffy monitoring room, his uniform was also dirty, but every button was tightly buttoned. His hair was long but not disordered, and his two bright eyes were covered with the same wrinkles carved by a knife. With his eyebrows tight, the wrinkles became vivid.
The soldier in front of him is wearing two bars and three epaulets on his shoulder. His identity is a colonel. Among the dozen, his rank is the largest. The epaulets of others range from lieutenant commander to second lieutenant. The lowest one is a sergeant with black epaulets. There is no part for him to speak here, so he stands in the most corner and looks at the existing supreme officer.
"Coco... But one of us is trapped here, and we can't get out. Do you think we'll let them toss? Anyway, when the big blackbird comes, none of them can run away, and the base's armaments can be preserved?"
He was talking about a lieutenant colonel. He was much younger than the colonel in his forties, and he was just in his early thirties. If he had a brighter future than the Colonel before the end of his life, he would be a bit polite with a pair of glasses, but there was a trace of timidity on his face.
"Well, what if that thing can't clean them up? Just watch them take the missile truck off the base? What's the point of our country keeping us here? Do you wear this uniform and watch those who don't know the origin steal the country's sophisticated weapons? "
As the Colonel's tone became more severe, the lieutenant commander became more serious. He looked at his colleagues with evasive eyes and said, "well, what do you say? If we can rush out, we won't be trapped here. Besides, even if we can rush out, we can drive them away with more than a dozen small pistols?"
"Ha ha, we don't have to go out. We just need one thing." After the captain said this, he seemed to be relieved, with a smile of relief on his face.
When the captain said that, the faces of several soldiers suddenly turned blue, "sobbing..." a low voice came from the corner. In the corner were two young women soldiers, one was crying in a low voice, the other was holding the crying woman tightly, burying her face in her neck. They knew what the captain was going to say.
Looking at the two female soldiers in the corner, the Colonel turned his head and looked at his subordinates. The subordinates' expressions were different. Some people did not dare to look at the colonel and lowered their heads. Some people raised their chests and looked at the colonel with burning eyes.
"As long as I have a spirit, a kind of military spirit passed down by our predecessors, as long as I have it, even if I can't rush out, is there such a thing? Don't worry, our country will never forget us. Our deeds will be passed down like our ancestors
"No... no... I don't agree, country? There is no other country... We are a first-class security unit here, but have you ever contacted the superior? You are a madman. If you want to die, don't get involved with us... "
The commander was excited. He loudly refuted the Colonel's words. As the commander said these words, some faces also flickered with hesitation. They have been here for too long, Long they even some despair, in this small monitoring room, they insisted for seven months, like seven months in prison.
In order to save electricity, they can't turn on the air conditioner for ventilation, and in order to save water, they can't take a bath. Every day, in front of the communicator, they call to their superiors like a fool, but there is no response from their superiors. Except for the same cry for help from some other base survivors on some non top secret channels, no superior unit responds to them, and the food is decreasing, They don't even know how long they can hold on.
"Have you forgotten who you are? Who are you? You are soldiers... What are soldiers? Even if you know it's a death, you have to rush up. You should know that if you put on your military uniform, your life is no longer your own, it's the country's. Now the country asks you to die, you don't have emotions. "
After the colonel said these words without expression, the monitoring room was silent. Everyone was thinking about the Colonel's words. They were soldiers, modern soldiers and soldiers who had never experienced war. In their eyes, war was the mission of soldiers. Now it was their turn to realize their mission.The commander began to tremble. He sat on the ground feebly. Suddenly, he pulled out his pistol and pointed to the colonel. "You, you're just the logistics officer of the base. You're not qualified to ask me to input the base self destruction command. Now I'm the person with the highest rank in the warhead. I refuse to issue the base self destruction command."
After the commander took out the pistol, all the people were stunned. They didn't know what to do. The commander was right. The colonel was just a logistics officer in charge of the base. According to the regulations, he was not qualified to give battle orders. But now he was the person with the highest rank. They didn't know what to do.
The Colonel also had two staunch supporters. They responded that they also aimed their pistols at the commander. Their actions led the others. As long as the soldiers with weapons on them drew their pistols at the commander.
The commander was aimed at by more than ten pistols at once, and his face immediately exuded big sweat beads. He cried hysterically, "are you willing? We have been in prison for seven months. Has our superior ever taken care of us? You're here to destroy with the base. Who knows? "
After that, he smashed the pistol to the ground, and the black 925.8mm pistol hit the empty can on the ground, making a crisp sound and bouncing back to the debris pile in the distance. Then he pointed to the gloomy colonel with his finger and said: "you, what big talk do you say, country? Where is there any country? You don't know the news on the civil channel. The whole country is finished. The whole world is finished. There is no country, no home. Woo Hoo... No home... Woo Hoo Hoo. "
As the commander said this, he changed from sitting to kneeling and fell to the ground. He held his head in his arms and cried. His soldiers put down their guns, Looking at the commander on the ground, crying hysterically.
"What's wrong with us? We stick to the last moment, we are also people, you are right, we are soldiers, but soldiers are not people? The country is gone. We die here. Who knows? How many Chinese people are still alive in the whole country? You still want to die with them? Do you think all Chinese people are willing to die? Ah
After crying, the commander got up from the ground. He ignored the other people's strange eyes and pointed to the colonel.
"I'm a soldier. I'm a Chinese soldier. I don't care what you think. Since I put on this uniform, I didn't think that if I want to take it off, soldiers have to have the backbone of soldiers. Chinese soldiers have to be proud. Even if we die, we have to stand and die."
With that, the colonel looked at the red faced lieutenant colonel with strong contempt, straightened his collar with black hands, began to check his clothes, picked up the military cap on the console beside him and put it on his head. Even if his uniform was dirty, even if his beard was wrong, the firmness in his eyes was burning like a flame.
His two supporters also began to put on military caps to check their clothes. They stood beside the colonel and looked at him indifferently. They had decided to die together with the colonel. After them, some people began to tidy their clothes, hats and buttons. The commander looked at his comrades in arms in despair and arranged their appearance before death, He sat on the ground feebly.
"Pd162936203048 ··················" a long number came out from the commander's mouth. He sat on the ground, staring blankly at the metal bucket with compressed biscuits at his feet, and said: "this is the self destruction code of the base, powerful enough to turn the whole base and this mountain area into dregs ···································
The Colonel did not speak, He memorized the self destruct code with a piece of paper and went to the console. A dozen well-dressed men and women soldiers fought behind him and looked at his back.
A small bright red console rose from the hiding place. The Colonel quietly looked at the keyboard in front of him. He turned to look at the young soldiers standing behind him. He quickly entered the password on the white paper with both hands on the keyboard. His fingers heavily hit the OK key, and rows of red light sources appeared on the console.
Then the small console sank, a cylindrical bright red button rose from below, and the Colonel put his thumb on the button
