War Military: From 1978

Chapter 282 Withdrawal of Troops, Thousand-Yuan Household!

Life at military academy is peaceful and serene!

This place is far from the smoke of gunfire, far from the blood and tears of the battlefield.

Although the studies here are very intense, with a constant stream of subjects, many people even work overtime until the early hours of the morning to study tactics.

But regardless, without the life-or-death pressure of the front lines, everyone's mental state has actually become much more relaxed.

And it's not just about mental state.

You can really learn a lot here.

Including Chu An.

Although he was a deputy battalion-level officer, the military academy's current educational focus is only on basic command education at the company and platoon levels.

Chu An still benefited greatly.

After all, he had never received this kind of systematic military education before.

Moreover, this place is now filled with veterans with combat experience.

The tactical research class, with its numerous war examples and intellectual exchanges, made him feel that he gained something new every day.

However, despite their studies at military academy, these veterans from the battlefield have not forgotten the front lines.

Every day, no one misses any battle reports from the front lines.

"Finally, it's over. These Vietnamese devils won't learn their lesson until they're faced with their own death!"

In early November, in the dormitory of Class One, just after dinner, Wang Xiaohu waved the newspaper in his hand with great enthusiasm.

The border situation has finally changed once again.

According to the newspapers, the Vietnamese army, which had been assembled on the border, withdrew once again.

Although not all of them, the Vietnamese still forcibly occupied some important high grounds and key locations.

But once their main force withdraws, the remaining troops will no longer be able to wage a full-scale war as before.

Chu An was also reading the newspaper.

Please read the above content carefully.

Chu An also smiled.

This is really good news!

Our regiment is still at the border. Although we have withdrawn from the front line, if a real battle breaks out, our regiment will definitely be the first to step up.

Now that the Vietnamese have withdrawn, our regiment is also free from the risk of war.

Of course, the Vietnamese are doing this not because they love peace.

Although today's newspapers did not mention why the Vietnamese troops withdrew.

However, based on the information collected by everyone beforehand.

The withdrawal of the Vietnamese troops was likely the result of continuous exchanges and negotiations between our two sides around the border.

After the war ended, as the Vietnamese invaders returned, various small units of our army continued to cross the border to carry out operations, mainly targeting their already long and arduous logistical supply.

Meanwhile, the main forces of our army, which completed their reorganization and restructuring several months ago, are now taking turns to fight.

The Vietnamese have suffered great losses so far.

The withdrawal is most likely because they themselves cannot maintain such a large force on the front lines.

After all, deploying troops on the border consumes a lot of resources.

Although the Vietnamese devils had their godfather providing them with a constant stream of financial support.

But after more than half a year of such high-intensity blood transfusions, their godfather isn't a bottomless pit; he can't keep being drained like this.

Therefore, the army's retreat was already a foregone conclusion.

"I was thinking of going back to work with them after graduation, but it looks like I won't have that chance!" In the dormitory, Wang Xiaoliu suddenly put on a regretful look.

“Yeah! These damned bastards, I was thinking they’d dare come back, and I’d fight them again when I got back, but now they’ve chickened out!” Huang Jianping agreed wholeheartedly.

Chu An looked at the two of them.

Suddenly, Chu An laughed: "You guys don't really think this is the end, do you?"

"Huh? What do you mean, class monitor?"

"That's right! Didn't the newspapers say the Vietnamese devils have left? They've been locked in a stalemate for so long without any real fighting, do you think they'd dare to come back!"

“Not all of them have left!” Chu An said calmly. “Didn’t you see the words ‘some troops’ in the newspaper?”

Huang Jianping frowned: "There must be some high ground where the troops haven't withdrawn yet, right? But the main force has left, what can these few remaining men do?"

Chu An shook his head: "As long as there is still conflict, as long as a formal ceasefire agreement has not been signed, anything is possible!"

Chu An couldn't very well tell them now that this war was actually going to last a long time. Ten years of rotating war!
We're only at the very beginning.

The Vietnamese forces at present may just be trying to accumulate strength.

Moreover, Chu An has been thinking about some things these past few months, combining what he knows in his mind.

It seems that the Vietnamese wanted to fight for ten years, but we just kept fighting!
Yes!

Chu An had long remembered something important.

It seems that the "godfather" behind the Vietnamese is about to personally intervene in the Middle East as well!

If they really get involved, and they can't end the war quickly in the Middle East.

Even if the Vietnamese were to actually prepare for a complete ceasefire, we might not be willing to accept it.

Great power rivalry sometimes does not require direct war.

There are many reasons why the "godfather" behind the Vietnamese army collapsed so soon after the end of the war.

Of course, Chu An can't talk about these things right now.

"Squad leader, there's a letter for you!"

Suddenly, a sound came from the doorway.

He was a cadet soldier from the dormitory next door.

"it is good!"

Chu An stood up and took it.

I took a look, and unsurprisingly, it was sent from home.

After Chu An arrived at the military academy, he sent a letter home, leaving his future mailing address. His older brother then wrote to him frequently.

He eventually listened to Chu An's advice, resigned from his job as the production team's accountant, and set up a stall in the county town in late September to sell tea eggs and hand-pulled pancakes.

Business is booming!

Tea eggs cost two cents each, and hand-pulled pancakes cost five cents each.

According to my older brother, he sold nearly thirty yuan worth of goods on the first day.

An egg cost eight cents, and the profit was considerable; he earned at least seventeen or eighteen dollars that day.

Keep in mind this was in 1979.

Seventeen or eighteen yuan a day is almost enough to cover many people's monthly salary.

Although it sounds a bit far-fetched, it was so real in this era of scarcity of resources and goods.

That's why later generations say that this is the best of times.

You can get rich by setting up a street stall, and you can basically make money no matter what you sell.

This is just the initial stage of the street vendor economy.

Open the letter.

A moment later, Chu An also started to laugh.

A household with 1,000 yuan!
Haha, my older brother was clearly very excited in the letter.

Although he's still one zero short of becoming a "ten-thousand-yuan household," he says that the money he's earned has officially surpassed one thousand.

Between the lines, Chu An could almost hear his wide grin.

"Squad leader, a letter from your girlfriend?" Huang Jianping saw the smile on Chu An's face and immediately looked over to ask with a smile as well.

This isn't a foxhole on the battlefield, and everyone here is a cadre trainee, so unless they're willing to share their daily correspondence, generally no one will ask to do so.

"No, it's from home!"

Chu An didn't hide the fact that he had a girlfriend from them.

"Okay, seeing how happy the class monitor is, I thought it was another letter from his girlfriend."

"hehe!"

Chu An smiled, quickly read the letter, and then put it away.

My older brother has become a thousand-yuan household, which is great news, but this amount of money is still far from what he wants.

But there is no rush for now.

Basic knowledge and experience are essential.

If you want to make big money, you can't do much with just 1,000 yuan right now.
