September 10, 1988.

Kondo Kiyohiko got up at five o'clock as usual.

He had to take the subway for nearly two hours before he could go to work in Tokyo. When he got off work, he usually had to spend an hour or two with his colleagues in the bar, and then took the subway for two hours to rush home. After scrubbing for a little while, he dragged his tired body to sleep.

Year after year, he couldn't remember when he had fallen in love with Kumiko last time.

Kondo hurriedly washed up in front of the mirror, took off an ironed shirt from the hanger and put it on.

A pair of hands reached out from behind and handed him a dark tie.

"Why are you getting up? It's not dawn yet, go back and sleep for a while." Kondo took the tie from his wife and said in a low voice because he was afraid of waking up his sleeping daughter.

Only a small number of Japanese women will become professional women. Most of them will take care of their husbands and children at home after getting married and become professional housewives. The burden of life for the family is usually on the shoulders of their husbands. This is also one of the reasons why there are more and more murderers in Japan.

Kumiko wore a tie for him and said softly: "Hoichi thinks the TV in his room is too small and wants to change to a larger one."

"I want to buy something again! Did he not think about his father? I worked hard every day, just let him enjoy it?" Kondo lowered his voice and said sternly, looking at his face in the mirror, carrying his briefcase, and quickly walked out of the bathroom door.

Kumiko ran in front of him in a stroll, rushed out of the entrance hall, took out Kondo's leather shoes, knelt on the ground, and changed her husband: "Hoichi said that his classmates were all using big TVs. Last time he took his friends home, he was ridiculed by others, and he felt very ashamed..."

"I know, I know! I'm long-winded!" Jin Teng pushed open the door of the entrance and stepped into the dark night.

The old house behind him has a history of more than 20 years, and it was left by his father for him.

Kondo had long wanted to stay in Tokyo every house so he wouldn't have to get up so early every day. However, the land price in Tokyo is too expensive, and even those apartment buildings with dozens of floors are unattainable.

As a pure Japanese, Kondo, like others, does not regard the apartment building that cannot even be hung with a name sign that indicates the owner's surname as a real home. For newlyweds who want to get married, if they do not have a traditional Japanese-style house with a unique courtyard, they are embarrassed to mention it in front of their relatives and friends.

"I want to buy another big color TV, at least it will cost me hundreds of thousands of yen!" Kondo muttered, and went to the newsstand across the street to buy today's "Asakhi Shimbun".

LCD projector?

He turned to the technology version, and the front page headline was a small and exquisite instrument. The news said that this is the latest crystallization of modern technology. Its appearance is like the same as the TV just appeared, which is of revolutionary significance.

The Technology Edition has a lot of space, which introduces this type of LCD projector.

There is a simple popular science introduction, explaining the characteristics of liquid crystal, the application of liquid crystal, and the principles of liquid crystal projectors.

Among them, several layouts were specially opened to introduce Japanese LCD research and enthusiastically praised several major companies such as Sony, Panasonic, Sharp, etc. Although the article did not indicate it, it gave people a deep impression: this LCD projector was invented by a Japanese company.

Sure enough, we Japanese are the smartest!

National pride arises naturally in Kondo's heart.

He turned to the ad insert a few times. The first one was the full version of the LCD projector advertisement. The picture was a home living room, and the beautiful furniture seemed warm and modern. His parents and daughter sat on the sofa, with a projection screen hanging down against the wall, and the classic "Tokyo Love Story" was placed on it.

Those who play parents are all familiar big stars on TV. Since starring in "Tokyo Serenade", Suzuki Sora, Suzuki Sora, and Suzuki Sora have become Kumiko's obsession. Kondo doesn't like Suzuki Sora, he prefers the quiet and pure Shizuka Kudo.

However, this is not the main thing. What is important is that in the advertisement, the large-sized projection screen attracted Kondo's attention immediately.

Such a large screen is about seventy or eighty inches, which is several times larger than what you can buy now. Isn’t this the movie theater arranged at home?

Kondo became eager to buy a big TV, so he just bought a projector! He looked for stores and prices everywhere, but there were no specific prompts in the newspapers, and various reports and praise made him even more itchy!

Along the way, posters and colorful flags are advertisements for LCD projectors.

Even in the subway carriage, there were posters covered. Kondo remembered that when he went home yesterday, he didn’t post it. It was just overnight. It seemed that the eyesight was enough to be advertised about LCD projectors. What a promotional intensity!

On the way to the company, Kondo finally saw the demonstration screen of the LCD projector: a large department store opened a publicity shed at the door, with several chairs placed inside, and a projector played the recorded TV series. After the audio equipment was processed, it gave people the feeling that it was like being in a cinema.

The banner hanging under a colorful balloon next to it was written in eye-catching large characters: "Move the cinema home". Such an inciting propaganda slogan attracted countless pedestrians to watch.

The chairs in the publicity shed were filled with people, and those who had no seats were forced to squeeze in front of them. From time to time, a burst of praise came from the crowd.

Even outside, there were crowds of people on the inner and outer three floors. The citizens of Tokyo suddenly realized that there were such good things. Their enthusiasm for purchasing was quickly ignited, and they squeezed in front of the department store publicity staff to ask various questions about LCD projectors.

price?

One million and two million yen!

Kondo took a breath with a little toothache. This price is not cheap, much more expensive than a TV! But when he saw the huge screen, bright picture quality, and crowded crowds, wrapped in this warm atmosphere, he couldn't help but feel a strong desire to buy it, fearing that he would not be able to buy it if he was too late.

Some people like him, dressed in office workers said they would buy it on the spot, and Kondo couldn't help but squeeze in to the publicity station.

Although it was early in the morning, the publicity staff was squeezed by the crowded crowd, their hair was soaked with sweat and was stuck on their foreheads. They were still trying their best to answer people's questions. When they heard someone was about to buy it, the girl said gently: "Now is just the joint publicity period of major trading companies. The official sales will be launched on September 20th! Since the manufacturer was only testing the market reaction in the early stage, the number of sales will not be too large in the first two or three months. If you want to buy it, please come and buy it as soon as possible on the 20th!"

It’s sold on the 20th, and it’s only sold on the 20th!

Kondo took a promotional material, looked at his watch, and hurried to the company.

He suddenly felt that it was worth moving a cinema home for a price of one million and two million! In order to be sure to buy a projector on the 20th, he decided to take a day off on the 20th, and would not go home on the 19th and sleep directly at the door of the department store!

Haoyi, don’t you want a big TV? Dad brought the cinema back and made your friends envious!

As soon as he arrived at the company, he suddenly discovered that many colleagues were holding various promotional materials for LCD projectors in their hands. They all read them carefully, and they all made a thoughtful and leisurely look, which made him feel a sense of crisis!

Maybe, I need to queue up earlier!

But he didn't know that he was not the only one who had such an idea. Just this morning, someone had moved the mat to the door of the department store and prepared for a protracted battle!

Tokyo is restless for an LCD projector...

Xiao Qiang didn't feel the restlessness in Tokyo, he just felt very strange now.

After lunch, they were gathered together. After hearing the speeches of the leaders of the school and the department, they were sent to military vehicles. They squatted in the carriage, and the tarp was pulled down and they were not airtight. Along the way, it was a flat road at the beginning, but then it started to bump and many people vomited.

The military vehicle drove for about two hours. When it arrived at its destination, many people were crawling and rolling off the car. Once they reached the ground, they said they would not move.

Xiao Qiang was fine, he was fine even sitting in a small tank, and riding in a military vehicle was just a small CASE.

But he was confused by the scene he saw.

Of course, this place was not where the Northern Military Region was located. There were mountains everywhere in sight, which gave him the illusion that he was taken back to the reconnaissance camp by his father again.

Beside the mountain, there are rows of neat and semi-permanent brick barracks, and in addition, large areas of military tents are built on a clearing space one mile away!

"Damn! We won't be allowed to live in a tent this month!" Xiao Qiang gasped.

This is too different from the military training he saw in the Southwest Military Region since he was a child. In the Southwest Military Region, college students trained military training, that is, standing in a military posture and walking in a straight line. But in the distance, you can see many soldiers shouting and killing the world for military training. Judging from this posture, this is the regular field force base!

"This is the military training I dream of!" Wan Dong stood beside him at some point and said Lei Ran.

dream?

Xiao Qiang didn't know if he could still express such feelings a month later. If an ordinary college student is mixed with the regular field troops and conducts strict military training, he dares to guarantee the situation. Within a week, everyone will be trained to fall down! He is probably the only one who can stand up and keep up with the training subject!

"Xiao Qiang, have you noticed that when we were about to set off, we stood with the school leaders, in addition to one large colonel, and two lieutenant colonels. Even those who followed them were all lieutenants and non-commissioned officers. Are they our instructors? I'm afraid I'm sad this month!" Bai Changhe from the Shandong duo vomited for a long time, came over and said with a sad face.

Most of the college students are weak. Not to mention military training, they just got into a military vehicle with a tarp seal. After walking through this trip, many people were already complaining. Before they came, their longing for military training was completely gone.

Xiao Qiang reluctantly smiled: "As far as I know, it shouldn't be. They just attended military-civilian co-construction activities to support the scene. We will not see them again except at the beginning and the final report exercise."

In the Southwest Military Region, those who really trained those college students were mainly recruits who had just three months of training for recruits. Not to mention the lieutenant, even ordinary big-headed soldiers did not have that time to accompany these college students who had no military knowledge!

After only a quarter of an hour of getting off the bus, a military jeep and two military trucks rushed over.

The door of the car opened, and the colonel and the lieutenant colonel got out of the car. The truck's canvas was opened, and the soldiers who leaped out of the car, including the lieutenants, non-commissioned officers, Xiao Qiang and others saw at the school all appeared here!

The comrade said something to the people around him. Immediately, dozens of lieutenants and non-commissioned officers blew the whistle hanging on their chests, rushing the students from the ground, and with the assistance of the accompanying counselor, they lined up in a queue according to their height and height.

The colonel looked at the crooked queue, frowned, took the loudspeaker, walked to the front of the queue, and suddenly shouted:

"Look at what you look like! The queues are not in place, and it is also tilted when you stand up. Do you think military training is for you to travel in the wild? If you think this way, I can tell you responsibly that you are wrong! This is the requirement of the Military Service Law!

Student military training is not only in our country, but also in all countries in the world, a serious national defense construction project!

It is a legal obligation for all students of appropriate age to receive military training in American universities! They even established a formal reserve officer training regiment in colleges and universities. After undergoing rigorous military training, they became ranks and formal reserve officers!

In Britain, even a prince must participate in military training.

Nothing elsewhere!

Our country has also listed college students as officer reserves. Although we have not done so now, military training for students, mastering national defense knowledge, strengthening teamwork spirit, and providing qualified technical officers for national defense modernization are still the main contents of our military training!

Look at your physique, you just took a car for a few hours and then went to bed. Can you save your physique and complete your professional studies with full energy?

I think it's so bad!

I know that in some places, military training for college students has become a formality, and everyone laughed and joking, and they were confused and just fooled. But, for me, this doesn't work!

You are here, to me, you are soldiers, and soldiers who are ready to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in the future!

So, if you treat this military training as a happy trip, then I advise you to change your mind as soon as possible and not be mentally prepared enough, you will find that every day will be very painful for you!

Disband now, and the instructors will be assigned to the class in the afternoon, and they will be familiar with their comrades, and they will conduct formal training tomorrow!"

Xiao Qiang was standing in the last row because he was tall and stood in the last row. He was completely stunned when he heard what he said. This guy was going to be a real person. From his tone, he would at least treat these college students as new recruits who had just joined the army and train them strictly. The future will be hard!

Moreover, he seemed to feel the colonel's gaze searching for something in the queue. After the lieutenant colonel whispered something in his ear, he deliberately or unintentionally looked at his position more.

What surprised him was that after listening to the colonel's almost roaring speech, Wan Dong in front of him seemed to be even more excited, and he clenched his fists excitedly and said, "That's great. I have wanted to be a People's Liberation Army since I was a child. Now I can finally experience the life of the army in person!"

"You can!" Li Gang looked at his body with envy, and said without hesitation, "Look at us, we are either myopia or skin and bones. I can't hold on for a day in a month!"

"That's right, just do it so strictly, just let's just say it. Anyway, there are so many veterans, and even if we want to serve the country, we don't have that chance!" Bai Changhe replied in agreement.

"If you don't let you go to the battlefield, don't you hear that, you are a technical officer. Just like you, you will charge, that is to increase the enemy's record! If you really want to fight, you will be in the rear to speed up production and provide equipment for the troops!" Only the left and right pushed his heavy eyes and said disdainfully.

"That's it! I asked you to go to war, and you rushed to the enemy's nose and asked where the enemy was?" Bai Changhe laughed, and several people burst into laughter.

Wan Dong saw Xiao Qiang standing blankly and poked him with his elbow: "Hey, nerd, why are you scared? Are you afraid of military training in your body?"

Xiao Qiang shook his head: "What am I afraid of! But what are the reserves and other things are just to scare people. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was a shortage of qualified professional officers, so there was such a regulation, but this regulation was long ago cancelled. Now a large number of troops are being cut every year, and the number of reserves is so large that we will charge with our guns!"
