Chapter 1886 Uncle Thor is bragging again
A large number of military personnel have retired or transferred to civilian jobs.
A portion of the defense forces remained in the military.
Many of the returning veterans of the National Defense Army were unable to reintegrate into life.
In just 10 years, the whole world has changed beyond recognition.
For the army, they felt that their equipment had not been upgraded to be particularly advanced.
However, the navy has truly witnessed the changes in the military firsthand.
Their warships used to be described as thin-skinned iron ships.
However, this was later changed with the commissioning of the Essex-class aircraft carriers.
The navy's ships have undergone industrialization.
From initially producing small quantities to later fully industrialized production.
At its peak, the navy had more than 30 aircraft carriers.
Dominate all the seas on the entire planet.
If it weren't for the rapid pace of modernization in aircraft carriers and aircraft...
The production of Essex-class aircraft carriers will inevitably exceed 100.
The navy has changed so much, and other aspects of the navy have changed just as much.
Economic growth is an even more direct manifestation of this.
Whether in Lyongrad or other surrounding areas, the economy of the entire local city has increased many times over.
The local people have gone from being poorly clothed to now having all their needs met, including food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.
These ordinary people are content with their current lives and no longer pay much attention to other things.
Most of them would unconditionally trust Leon's instructions.
Because in their eyes.
Lyon provided them with a life of luxury.
A person who pulls them out of the mire cannot lie to them.
The return of veterans of the National Defense Forces did not cause much of a stir.
Aside from the families of these soldiers, many people are unaware of the identities of these veterans.
In an old neighborhood in Lyongrad.
This place is called an old residential area because the buildings here were constructed shortly after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
However, only eight years had passed since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
This building is perfectly usable.
However, in the eyes of the locals in Lyongrad, these buildings are already considered old.
This old neighborhood has become a memory for the older generation in Lyongrad.
You have to understand, back then...
This complex of buildings can be described as the jewel of Lyongrad.
However, the precious pearl is now covered in dust.
It has lost its former luster.
Inside a cake shop in an old residential area.
A middle-aged man with a stubble beard is selling cakes.
There weren't many pedestrians coming and going, but not many came to buy cakes.
After all, it wasn't a special day, and they didn't need a cake.
The middle-aged man sighed as he looked at the unsold cakes in front of him.
Just then, a group of students who had just finished school skipped and hopped in.
The middle-aged man's face lit up with joy.
"Oh, isn't this Miss Lina, who's going to become the first female general in the National Defense Force?"
The middle-aged man spoke to a little girl.
"Uncle Thor, what do you mean? Are you looking down on me?"
The little girl immediately retorted, hands on her hips, looking anxious.
"No, no, no, I wasn't mocking you. I just wanted you to stick to your beliefs."
Don't forget, and don't give up. Just persevere, and one day you will become a general, and then you'll have some of my style.
Upon hearing this, the little girl instantly exploded.
No, buddy. What do you mean? What do you mean by "having some of your style"? You need to become a general to have some of your style, so what are you? Are you a marshal or a general?
The little girl instantly looked at the middle-aged man with a resentful expression.
"Don't look at me like that, I'm telling the truth! Back in the day..."
Thor stroked his beard and began to reminisce about the past.
"Is Uncle Thor going to brag again? Bragging is no fun!"
Thor remained silent for a long time.
Dude, how do you know I'm not telling the truth?
