Special Years

Chapter 848: loyalty

Walking into the yard, all kinds of flowers are displayed in front of everyone.

red, pink...

Zhuang Yan has not studied flowers, and he does not know what kind of flowers they are, but two things are certain—first, they are beautiful, and second, it can be seen that the owner has spent a lot of care in taking care of them.

A table has been set up beside the flower bed, covered with a white tablecloth with openwork embroidered flowers.

Zhuang Yan had to admit that the courtyard of Instructor Achim's house was much better than his temper.

There was also an acquaintance sitting at the table, Instructor Ahmed.

Seeing Zhuang Yan and others, Instructor Ahmed greeted them: "Come here, sit down."

Zhuang Yan didn't know that Ahmed would also come, and it was a little accident.

After sitting down, Alyssa served coffee for everyone, served it in a white carved cup, and placed it steamingly in front of everyone.

"Come, come, have a cup of coffee." Ahmed pointed to the coffee cup in front of him: "There is an old saying in our country, called 'a cup of coffee, remember your friendship forty years', so be sure to drink this A cup of coffee means our friendship will last forever."

Since the bishop said so, Zhuang Yan had no choice but to hold the cup.

Suddenly I found that there were three sugar cubes on the saucer with the cup, just because it was time to add sugar.

Ahmed noticed the solemn move and said: "If you like to drink bitter coffee, you don't need to put it. If you are afraid of bitterness, you don't need to put it. In fact, the coffee here is already sweetened when it is brewed, and the European way of drinking it. It's different, but it's not clear what flavor of coffee you like, so just let you add it yourself."

"So it is." Nodding solemnly and thanking Ahmed, he took a sip without adding sugar.

The taste is bitter, the aroma of coffee beans is extremely strong, and it is slightly grainy on the tongue.

Ahmed continued to introduce his country's coffee to everyone: "If many people have never been to our country, they rarely know that our country's coffee is actually the ancestor of European coffee, and that our ancestors built a great empire. Traces of history can still be found in the coffee of some countries in Europe, Middle East and North Africa.”

"When our ancestors captured Constantinople, there was a saying in Europe that the soldiers of our ancestors often drank a mysterious black water at night, so they were hale and hearty, their eyes were like swords and arrows, and they could fight continuously. Three days and three nights and tireless. In fact, this mysterious black water is coffee.”

Zhuang Yan has no research on coffee either.

But what Instructor Ahmed said was straightforward, and everyone had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Wei Shuping was a sincere person, and whispered in Chinese: "Bitter and sour... There are people who like this stuff..."

Ahmed asked Zhuang Yan: "What is he talking about?"

Zhuang Yan held back a smile and said, "He said it was very fragrant and delicious."

When Achim came downstairs, a beautiful woman in her thirties followed behind him.

The woman came up and walked to Zhuang Yan's side, thanking him repeatedly in T-slang.

At first, Zhuang Yan was a little stunned, but quickly stood up, looking a little overwhelmed.

Listen, and slowly understand.

It turned out that the woman was Achim's wife. She thanked Zhuang Yan for saving Achim in the rubber boat accident last time.

Zhuang Yan quickly said no thanks or no thanks, it should be.

The two were polite for a while before Achim's wife went to the kitchen to prepare lunch for everyone.

Achim found a chair and sat down, and everyone began to chat endlessly, from training to military, from military to humanities.

I solemnly invite Achim and Ahmed to visit China when they have time. After all, the news about China obtained from some Western media channels with ulterior motives is inaccurate and even demonized.

Just like if he didn't come to country t this time, Zhuang Yan would not have known that the professionalization of the army here was so successful.

Not only is the military status high, but even the small supermarkets in the camp are cheaper than outside. A can of Coke is 1 lire outside, and only 0.8 lire in the small supermarket in the camp.

If you don't come to country T, of course, you don't know that others are willing to buy even the most expensive sniper rifle, the psg-1, which has no more than 400 sniper rifles in the country.

Understanding each other is always more important than hearsay.

The solemn words made Ahmed and Achim nodded again and again.

If they have not come into contact with the Chinese people like Zhuang Yan, they will never know that the perseverance and training of the Chinese special forces members are so excellent.

When eating, it is also a cultural exchange.

Achim's family prepared baklava, authentic grilled meat, dumplings drizzled with cream and chili oil for the solemn guests...

The three dishes that Zhuang Yan and his comrades personally cooked were also eye-opening for Achim and Ahmed.

The solemn dishes are fried, Cui Weinan's is stir-fried, and Lao Wei's is boiled.

For the T-country cuisine where most of the food is boiled or grilled, they did not expect that there are so many methods in Chinese cooking.

Especially Cui Weinan's spicy chicken, Kasim's throat was on fire, but he was so addicted that he bit his own tongue.

In his words - "It's so delicious that you can swallow your tongue."

After lunch is tea.

Country T is equally famous for its refreshments, as well as its insane variety of fudge.

Tea is served on the large balcony on the second floor.

It was a pleasant afternoon.

Achim took a chance and walked aside with Zhuang Yan to chat for a while.

Of course there is no shortage of thanks.

In the end, Achim told Zhuang Yan that in fact, it was necessary to take the matter with the students from country T that night to heart. This year, the foreign students' grades were so good that the domestic students were often criticized by the instructors, and even scolded for being inferior to the guests on their own territory.

Therefore, as Second Lieutenant Haji, some of the national students are unhappy, especially the Chinese students, whose grades are really good. As long as Chinese students participate in many projects, the first place will definitely be taken away.

Therefore, it is reasonable for some people to be jealous.

At the end of the chat, Achim suddenly said: "Zhuang, you are one of the best soldiers I have ever seen. To tell the truth, I really don't want to stand across from you on the battlefield."

"Long live peace!" said solemnly.

Achim suddenly asked, "Zhuang~lightnovelpub.net~ can I ask a brusque question?"

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "Of course you can, Instructor."

Achim frowned for a while, and finally said, "I said... I'm assuming... If one day, you and I really become enemies on the battlefield, what will you do? You will shoot me ?"

Zhuang Yan did not expect Achim to ask such a sharp question.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Instructor, you and I have the answer to this question. Because we are all soldiers, soldiers have the honor of belonging to soldiers, and soldiers have their own motherland. So, if I stand on the opposite side of your enemy , see you on the battlefield, will you shoot me?"

Achim was stunned for a long time, then suddenly nodded: "I understand."

He raised the teacup in his hand: "Let's drink tea instead of wine, for peace, for honor, and for the motherland."

Raising his glass solemnly, he said the same thing: "For peace, for honor, and for the motherland!"
