After Xu Le finished speaking, he held the phone tightly and waited for two minutes, the other end of the phone was quiet, and there was no answer, and finally only waited for the chilling confirmation of the federal central computer.
There was no trace of temperature in the old house like the light in the second district of Wei, he sat silently on the chair, the black cold H12 pistol was quietly held in his hand, and the other hand was holding Zhong Yanhua's soft and warm little hand, I don't know when the little girl came down from the upstairs and sat beside him obediently.
Xu Le stared at the phone that was put back on the table, silent for a long time, felt that he couldn't stand it, closed his eyes and leaned on the soft chair, and then suddenly sat up straight again, took out the blue cigarette case with trembling fingers, took out a Sanqi brand cigarette, and inhaled it vigorously until there was a pain in his lungs and coughing again and again.
Zhong Yanhua, who had just washed his hair, looked at him melancholy, grabbed his hand hard, and was afraid that he would cough like this and the whole building would collapse.
Feeling the pressure coming from his left hand, Xu Le smiled, pulled out his hand and rubbed the little girl's slightly wet and straight black hair vigorously, and whispered, "It's okay." ” Vigorously pinching out the cigarette butt and pouring a whole glass of ice water, Xu Le rubbed his nose, picked up the phone and dialed a phone number, and said in a low voice: "That's the case, Uncle Tian."
I have some things that I need to go back to S1, please ask the office to make an application for me. ” As an active-duty soldier, you must get approval from your superiors to leave your post, and Tian Fatzi on the other end of the phone should have known what was going on, so when he heard his request, he didn't react in surprise, but reminded in a low voice: "The situation over there is unknown, and it may not be a good decision for you to insist on going back, and I estimate that the Ministry of Defense should not agree to your application." ” "But I still have to go back, I have to look twice."
Xu Le's fingers holding the phone were a little pale because of the force, and after a pause, he said, "That's the case, he doesn't have any relatives." ” After explaining some things that had to be explained, Xu Le glanced at Zhong Yanhua, who was half-squatting on the sofa in a daze, hid the gun, and then went to take a bath, I don't know what was disturbed, there was a crackling sound in the bathing room.
Zhong Yanhua's eyes squinted like a crooked moon, silently looking at the direction of the bathing room, and the hand behind his back gently turned off the instant news, probably knowing why his brother was so irritable before, and at this time he was calm and a little abnormal.
She raised her head, looked at the ceiling or the sky above the old mansion, and asked suspiciously, "Was he talking to you just now?"
At the Changfeng Military Base, the whistling autumn wind gushed out from the space below the battleship, smashing the fallen leaves on the tarmac, and the huge crystalline engine group behind the side of the battleship was in a semi-excited state, and the dark blue beam of light was not emitted, like a newborn fire in the furnace.
Xu Le, who was dressed in a straight federal military uniform, squinted his eyes at the base office building in the distance, waiting for the time when the pass would arrive.
Tian Da Stick stood beside him, with a cigarette in his mouth, and his fat body looked like a ball of wet cotton, heavy and full of murderous aura.
"You insist on going back to S1, I believe that there should be no obstacles from the Ministry of National Defense, but you are a member of the 17th Division, which is directly under the jurisdiction of a military region, and the Ministry of Defense cannot directly intervene in this level of transfer."
"That's right.
I've called to confirm that the military district didn't approve my application, and even the ministry didn't agree, and they thought I should stay here and finish the negotiations and experiments.
Xu Le looked down at the surface of the gray military boots and said in a low voice: "But I have a public holiday, so I used it in advance." ” "That's not a very good reason, and I'm sure no one on the Circle side of the Capital wants you back at this time."
Tian Da Bangzi frowned, his face like a big white steamed bun was like two ink blots suddenly provoked, and he said in a deep voice: "Regarding this matter, I can't help you too much, I have to stay and take care of his old foundation for the commander." ” "I didn't think about pulling a team from the Xilin Military Region to fight."
Xu Le shrugged, now that the war on the Empire's side is going on, the Federation has transferred a large number of troops from the Xilin Military Region, and now the troops that the old mansion can control are only a small number of forces, including the Second Rapid Reaction Brigade.
Suddenly, Tian Fatzi spoke: "You should know the movements I made in Philadelphia back then, yes, I am a guy who lives very casually and even arrogantly, but I know very well that there are some places that I can't touch, so I kicked all the self-cultivation halls in Philadelphia Mid-Levels, but I have always kept a very safe distance from the self-cultivation halls that Lao Li's family often goes to." ” He put his hands behind his back, turned his head to look at Xu Le's eyes worriedly, and said slowly: "The Li family in Philadelphia has not offended me, and I don't have the courage to offend them, the most important thing is that there is no such need." ” "A lot of big names died in the Federation this time, including Byron."
Tian Fatzi continued: "The list you got from investigating the Gu Zhong case, most of the people on it died on Parliament Hill.
Except for those who are lucky enough to be alive in the military, the faction in the political axe has been swept away, even if you rush back to S1 at this time, where can you spill your anger?"
Xu Le knew that he was thinking about himself, and after a moment of silence, he explained in a low voice: "Uncle Tian, that's the case, I explained last night that Shi Qinghai doesn't have any relatives over there, and someone has to do things like choosing a tomb for burial." ” Listening to his usual calm explanation, I don't know why, Tian Da Bangzi always felt a little depressed, just like watching those young comrades-in-arms leave on the battlefield many years ago, and then he and the tiger smoked a small cigarette, drank a little wine, and sang a little song in the red and yellow autumn forest, calm and abnormal, in fact, sad to death.
After the two men sincerely asked each other for something, the tarmac fell silent until the chief officer of the major general level in the base office building came to them in a self-propelled rail car.
"I'm sorry, Colonel Xu Le, your application was not approved, and I can't give this battleship a pass."
This major general had just been transferred from the Second Military Region at the end of last year to serve as the supreme commander of the Changfeng Military Base, and his transfer was part of the numerous infiltrations carried out by the federal political axe into Xilin through the death of Zhong Shouhu, so his relationship with the Xilin Military Region, especially the old mansion, has never been very proper, but because this pass involves Xu Le, he came to explain in person.
"I don't understand what you mean."
Xu Le's eyebrows, which were as thick as ink, furrowed slightly, tightened the straps of the military backpack on his shoulders, and asked: "This battleship has not yet been delivered, and the property rights are still in the hands of the Guzhong Company, why can't you issue a pass?"
"Not against the battleship, but against you."
The major general explained: "I just received a military order from my superiors, your request for leave has been rejected, and the military region ordered you to stand by on the spot and not leave your post without permission. ” Xu Le took the electronic file he handed over and looked at it twice, shook his head after a moment of silence, didn't say anything more, and walked straight to the gangway under the battleship.
The major general looked at his back incredulously, and said sternly: "Colonel Xu Le, I don't think I need me to remind you of the consequences of disobeying military orders."
Xu Le didn't seem to hear his words, carrying an ordinary dark green backpack, bowing his head like a veteran who was about to retire, and walked slowly and calmly towards the battleship.
Tian Da took out the cigarette case, handed one to the disappointing major general next to him, and asked with a smile: "He violated the military order, what are you going to do?"
"According to the regulations, I can use all means necessary to keep him and take him to court-martial."
The major general leaned into his hand and lit a cigarette, frowned and took two deep breaths, and sighed: "I am very embarrassed by the order directly from the top." ” "All necessary means, including knocking down this battleship," Tian Dabang asked with a smile as he looked at the hatch that was slowly closing in the belly of the battleship.
The Major General shrugged, waved his cigarette and said, "Of course. ” "Then will you take this battleship down?"
asked Tian Dabangzi.
The major general took off his military hat, gently scratched his sideburns, which were dipped in sweat, and was silent for a moment, remembering the picture that had been constantly broadcast on TV, thinking of the recently deceased marshal and the young colonel shaking hands in the lakeside courtyard, the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl slightly, and he laughed at himself and said: "Who dares to deal with the successor of the god of war like this" The battleship began to do take-off pre-push, the crystalline multi-engine group began to excite in the second layer, and the strong power sprayed out from the mouth of the multi-spin alloy, and the temperature on the empty tarmac instantly rose a lot.
In the midst of the loud noise and howling winds, Tian Da patted the general's shoulder and said loudly: "Then there is no need to be embarrassed. ” The Supreme Court's judgment is very inclined to Zhong Yanhua or the Zhong family's old house, although there are still many industries that need to be subdivided, but the equity of the ancient bell company has been clearly inherited by Zhong Yanhua, in other words, as the guardian Xu Le currently actually has control of this federal giant enterprise, so naturally it also includes this sub-feather-class light warship that has not yet been delivered to the military.
This dark black semi-elliptical hybrid forward-opening umbrella battleship has not yet been officially named, but it has begun to follow its master on some kind of alternative journey, the multi-engine technology of the ancient bell company, and the hundreds of employees on board, propelled the battleship to break through the gravitational barrier between galaxies at high speed, and fly towards the nearest torsion hole.
As Tian Da Stick said, no one in the Capital Star Circle wants Xu Le to go back now, but it is different from what he imagined, although the federal forces have already tacitly agreed that Xu Le is the successor of the God of War, but some people really dare to turn this battleship into a firework in the universe.
Anyway, they have already done something similar once before, and once they become proficient in sin, although it cannot be glorified as art, at least there will be much fewer psychological obstacles.
Just half an hour after Xu Le left the Xilin Changfeng base, three pure black Federation warships in a remote base at the southern end of the Gary Corridor slowly left the dock, and the battleship that was ordered to carry out a secret exercise mission was not sprayed with any markings.
