In the smoke swirling, Xu Le squinted his eyes, sucked the cigarette between his lips hard, and said vaguely but extremely hard: "Kill me, I won't go to the camera to perform like these guys, what's this called and the guy on the thirteenth floor, is there something wrong with his head and shouting in front of the entire Federation that I want to be a marshal" In the dimly lit room, the TV screen was playing the end of the Federation's hottest reality documentary, and the somewhat familiar figure in the twilight made Xu Le's cheeks feel a little hot, and he didn't understand how the cameraman took a picture of his daze at that time The so-called vicissitudes of life, and he was even more annoyed by this kind of lens design that pretended to be lonely and imitated despair.
Xiong Linquan laughed twice, took a big sip of the strong tea in the plastic pot in front of him, pressed the shaker to turn the table, and said, "I think it's a good shot." ” Bai Yulan, who was on the side, also smiled and said: "In fact, there is such a camera crew in the team, and sometimes you can really adjust the atmosphere, but after shooting the material for so long, it was cut to only one episode in the end, I heard that the chief officer of the Ministry of National Defense Propaganda Office and the news channel have great opinions on you." ” Xu Le licked his lips, lowered his head and flicked the cigarette ash, and said with a chuckle: "This is an agreement reached in advance, don't worry too much." ” "I think the main headache is that you have to wear sunglasses to appear, and they always refuse to accept positive interviews."
Lan Xiaolong shrugged and said.
Xu Le shook his head, pushed the door and walked out, the fresh air in the barracks poured in with the wind, which made him feel refreshed.
In the barracks, the soldiers of the seven groups are gathering in groups, they are like Xu Le and other officers, they have just finished watching the documentary, for their own documentary, for many people when they are on TV for the first time, everyone attaches great importance to it, at this moment many people are reminiscing about their appearance on the camera, regretting the stupidity revealed in the conversation, the crowd erupted into laughter from time to time, and farther away in the ground group barracks, Da Vinci was arguing with Xiao Thirteenth Floor exaggerated quarrel, and then turned into wrestling, and finally there was no suspense, The governor's son was heavily pressed under the farmer's son, tossing and turning in pain Looking at this scene, Xu Le couldn't help but scratch his head and laugh, and the trace of anger when he watched TV before disappeared.
The broadcast of the seven series of documentaries is another important move taken by the presidential residence, the Ministry of National Defense, and the federal news channel after the unprecedented live broadcast of the military operation of the Iron Seventh Division.
Unlike the last live broadcast of the Northern Expedition on Planet 5460, this series of documentaries focuses on the lives of front-line troops and some specific details, and the complex surnames composed of seven groups of members, the natural conflict between the fierce veterans of civilians and the recruits of Kisuke Kikomi, naturally have a certain internal dramatic tension.
After the first episode of the seven-group documentary series called Trial was broadcast, it immediately gained the attention of the federal public, and while easily winning super high ratings, it also sparked heated discussions among the people in the capital's star circle.
For the first time, the people living in the Peace Star Circle had such a close understanding of the specific conditions in the barracks, the boring and even somewhat cruel training, and wondered what kind of bad effects the social class differences in those ranks would bring.
Tonight's broadcast is the second episode, and it has been more than two months since the seven groups came to Planet 163, and more than 20 days have passed since the filming of the Venus Documentary Studio was completed.
I believe that after tonight, there will be another wave of discussion in the whole federation.
As the person concerned, as the governor of the seven groups, and as the specific author of the will of the federal political axe, Xu Le, better than anyone else, understands the deep meaning of this documentary series that the president and the military need to use the film-like journey of the seven groups on the front line to suppress the protests of some anti-war elements, and to repair the huge gap between the rich and the poor in the federation, and between the classes.
Based on this cognition, Xu Le has never been enthusiastic about this matter, it is just a theatrical performance for federal politics, and there is always an unpleasant smell when you look at it, but today looking at the excited reactions of the team members in the barracks, his attitude has changed a little.
He stood on the steps, quietly looking at the veterans and recruits who were mingling, and felt a little satisfied in his heart, dozens of days of battlefield life and death can indeed change a lot, this kind of complete trust in the back and surname of his companions can even change the attitude of many people's lives.
Just as after the end of the first mission, Magnolia sighed that although the members of the seven groups are special, it is impossible for the president and the Ministry of Defense to really send countless iron soldiers to serve as nannies for these more than 100 people.
But I don't know if there is something in the dark that blesses this team that carries too many tasks and meanings, or if the creator of the stars can't bear to watch this titular mercenary army become a tragic symbol under the noses of hundreds of millions of people in the Federation.
Seven groups came to Planet 163 for two and a half months, and went out of eleven Charter Bureau missions, but miraculously no one died.
Only six recruits and one veteran who was unlucky enough to step on an anti-infantry mine buried by the Imperials by the mimosa were sent back to the main star of Xilin by the battleship because of their injuries, and of the seven wounded, about four of them needed to be amputated.
On the battlefield, someone may die at any time, but none of the seven groups refuse to die, these injuries and attrition, it is really difficult to bring sad emotions to the team, on the contrary, because they feel the threat of death together, but no one has really died, everyone in the seven groups is in an extremely harmonious and harmonious atmosphere.
"Supervisor Early" "Hello Director" In the corner of the living area of the barracks, the soldiers who did not sit on the chairs, but preferred to squat on the side of the training ground, were discussing yesterday's TV with their own laughter, when they suddenly saw two people walking towards them, and immediately bounced up like springs, stood up and saluted, and greeted loudly.
It's just that they are still holding lunch boxes in their left hands, and some of them are stuffed with food in their mouths, and the ambiguity is particularly funny.
Xu Le, who was wearing sunglasses, shook his head helplessly, and looked at the camera group not far away, thinking that if this continued, these soldiers in the seventh group would become natural comedians.
According to the discipline of the army, these soldiers who saluted on the side of the road should respectfully call him a sir, but for some reason, Xu Le felt chills when he heard the word sir, his cold hair stood on end, and he raised his collar and felt a cold wind pouring into the back of his neck to line up to get food, Xu Le sat on the table in the sun, eating three green vegetables, five nutritious pastes, a spoonful of rice, and a small amount of pickles, and his straight eyebrows did not show a trace of disgust.
The soldiers of the seventh group subconsciously sat around him, no one dared to disturb him, but no one wanted to leave him too far, he was like an ignorant and unconscious, speechless circle, but because of a certain quality that is difficult to express in words, it attracted a lot of things around the circle, probably only the soldiers of the seventh group can tell what this quality is, that is Xu Le's brave and calm performance in every battle, it is he who saved the lives of many guys, and it is his silent surname.
At this moment, an impulse suddenly erupted outside the living area, and the team members who were eating turned their heads in amazement to see Gu Xifeng, who was under a wild tree, with clear eyebrows, arguing angrily with the curly-haired technical official from the Charter Bureau.
Gu Xifeng is the best electronic technician in the seven groups, and all the maintenance work of the field command system and electronic control system is completed by him.
And the seven groups are carrying out the charter bureau's reconfiguration network mission on planet 163, so he naturally wants to represent the seven groups and cooperate with the charter bureau technical officer, but he doesn't know what makes him, who is usually as calm as electricity, so angry.
Xu Le looked at the place, put down the plastic spoon in his hand, and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?"
"In the first few missions, the Charter Bureau always went to the target area and gave us the technical specifications and parameters in the plan, which is too difficult for the team members to avoid the eyes and ears of the Imperials, and to take over temporarily."
Bai Yulan glanced at him and explained: "This matter, I mentioned it in the last meeting, you asked Gu Xifeng to contact that Charter Bureau official, trying to obtain specifications and parameters in advance, and estimating the other party's reaction was very fierce. ” Xu Le hummed and looked over there quietly, much more than ordinary people's hearing, and clearly captured the words of the charter bureau official.
The Chartist Bureau officials indifferently rejected the request of the seven groups with secrecy regulations, but what really made Gu Xifeng angry was that the Chartist Bureau showed no regard for the lives of the team from the details.
In the structure of federal society, the mysterious Chartist Bureau is always at the top, and somewhere in the clouds, the officials who serve the Chartist naturally have a certain unpleasant sense of superiority and indifference.
Xu Le's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but in the end he didn't say anything, just lowered his head and began to continue eating, and when Gu Xifeng entered the cafeteria angrily, he gave a smile of relief.
He knew very well in his heart that such a transcendent but mechanical bureaucratic institution as the Charter Bureau was indeed the supreme weapon of delight for the dozens of teams like Group Seven on this planet.
However, although he was the youngest lieutenant colonel in the Federation, he still did not have much strength to speak in front of the Charter Bureau.
Under the gaze of the seven groups of members, he put down his plate, walked up to the curly-haired Charter Bureau official, and after a moment of silence, he said in a very serious tone: "The Charter Bureau has the rules of the Charter Bureau, and the army has the customs of the army, since you are unwilling to temporarily give up those ridiculous secrecy regulations for the sake of the survival rate of the soldiers, then I must remind you that if my people, because of your stupidity and conservatism, pay the price of unnecessary casualties, I will seek justice from Director Tai." ” The official looked at Xu Le calmly, not making the slightest concession because of this threat, nor was he afraid of the mention of Director Tai in his words, but just as cold and rigid as the central computer of the Federation.
