Xu Le himself didn't know why he said such a sentence. Zou Yingxing slowly raised his head and glanced at him, but said nothing, just put on his glasses again, bowed his head, and seriously began to examine the document that needs to be reviewed by Mr. President.
Silence sometimes represents attitude. Xu Le does not believe that the deputy minister will not know the inside story of the incident at the beginning of the year. Tai Zhiyuan's whereabouts at that time were leaked by Zhang Xiaomeng, and Zhang Xiaomeng was the office of the Medellin Congressman. people, but the other party is still silent, which explains a lot. He bowed his head a little tiredly, turned away silently without saying goodbye.
After he left the room, Deputy Minister Zou raised his head again, put down the document in his hand, and some complicated emotions floated in his eyes. The terrorist attack in the four states around the mountain shook the entire federation. Whether it was the FBI or the military, they were secretly stepping up their investigation. The most important thing was that the Charter Bureau already had some clues, but he couldn't tell the truth. Xu Le said something.
"Still thinking about that little girlfriend..." Zou Yingxing lightly stroked the gray hair on the forehead and smiled.
The matter in Linhai Prefecture has long since ended. Now that the lady has calmed down her anger, no one will lift the lid of the pot. Although that matter may be related to the office of Congressman Medellin, it is indeed Deputy Yang who carried out the assassination. The Minister and the bloody soldiers of the Second Military Region.
No one can fully find out what kind of thoughts the Medellin Congressman has in this matter. If it is said that Medellin Congressman wants to deal with the Tai family, it makes no sense, including this terrorist attack. , The old man is a very politically wise person. It is not in the long-term interests of this person to make a mess of the Federation and intensify the contradiction between the federal government and the anti-government army.
Vice Minister Zou pinched his eyebrows tiredly. He felt that although the young man Xu Le was calm, he was still a young man with too much enthusiasm, and what he said was too irresponsible, but why would this little guy remind himself of this? Did he find some clues
He closed his eyes and muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "Soldiers can have thoughts, but the army must not have their own thoughts, Xu Le, you must understand this before you can become a soldier. A true Union soldier."
Medellin is like those perfect politicians who have appeared in the history of the federation. He can always be connected with all the dark incidents in the front desk. Even if some people doubt him, in front of his prestigious qualifications, in front of those voters who support him. In front of them, those people could only remain silent.
After Xu Le said that sentence before, he knew that it would not have any effect. The more powerful people in high positions, the more cautious they would be when expressing their opinions. Without concrete evidence, no one would have any effect. Biased emotional expression, Vice Minister Zou's silence, is a matter of course.
The secretary officer had been waiting for him outside the door. After watching him come out, he smiled and led him to an office next to the annex building.
The military boots landed on the soft red carpet without making a sound. Xu Le walked behind the secretary. The guards standing on both sides of the corridor, fully armed, saluted silently and forcefully. The military ranks are strict, and the salute scene seen along the corridor made Xu Le feel a sense of respect he had never seen before. He clenched his hands lightly to calm himself down and told himself that it was just because of those things in his mind. data only.
In that office, Deputy Minister Zou's secretary officer took out a folder from the safe, handed it to Xu Le, and said with a smile: "This is the pass of the Ministry of National Defense, as well as the promotion order, about entry permissions. The problem is, the first time you went there, you used a passport to apply, and your current personnel file is still temporarily in the Nutshell, but you are subject to the dual jurisdiction of the Nutshell Company and the Ministry of Defense."
Xu Le took the folder and opened it, took a quick look, and saw that there was a passport, a standard-format official letter, and a pair of eye-catching epaulettes.
"Now in addition to the position of the third-level technical director of the Nutshell Company, you also have the corresponding authority of the technical officer of the Ministry of Defense's final assembly base. Although you are only a captain, the Ministry has specially approved it and gave you overflow authority."
The secretary officer looked solemn and explained seriously: "Deputy Minister Zou told him to ignore the relationship between you and the Academy of Sciences, but since you don't want the other party to know that you participated in the development of the M mecha for the time being, then the authority of the final assembly base Best to use sparingly."
Xu Le listened attentively, since the secretary spoke so frankly, he must be a trusted confidant of Zou Yingxing, he closed the folder again, thought for a moment and asked, "If there is no trouble, this year's work will be done. It shouldn't be used inside."
While speaking, he quickly looked at the office and found a military uniform hanging on the hanger. The epaulette of the military uniform indicated that the owner of the uniform was already a major, and this office was obviously the secretary officer's. , Xu Le couldn't help being a little surprised, even if it was the secretary of the Minister of Defense, there were very few school-level officers so outrageous.
The secretary officer noticed his gaze and explained with a smile, "I followed Director Zou from the assembly base all the way, and I got my rank, but there is no suitable position for the time being, so I have always followed the old chief."
Xu Le's heart moved slightly, knowing that if Zou Yingxing could rule the Ministry of National Defense in the future, the secretary in front of him would definitely rise to prominence and swagger. The department's promotion documents and related permissions were definitely completed overnight, and the secretary officer in front of him must have spent a lot of energy.
"Your surname?"
"My surname is Jiao, you can call me Secretary Jiao, of course, if you want, you can also call me Brother Jiao." The secretary was obviously good at talking, not like someone who has been with the leader for many years.
Xu Le stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "I should call you the officer."
Major Jiao took his hand and said seriously: "I believe that if MX can succeed, you will become the youngest major in the history of the Federation."
Walking down from the annex of Yunhou Hotel, there were already many black official cars parked in the garden. Under the sunlight in the morning, dozens of officers stood silently around the garden. President Seagal should have returned. It hasn't arrived, but the bigwigs of the federal military should have been waiting in the hotel.
Xu Le lowered his head slightly, squinted his eyes, and walked past the officers behind Major Jiao. These officers were either captains, majors, or even a few lieutenant colonels. If they were placed anywhere in the Federation, They will inevitably be respected by the people and feared by officials. However, at this moment, these officers can only temporarily act as bodyguards around the heavily guarded Yunhou Hotel.
Seeing this scene and thinking of the captain's epaulette in the folder under his arm, Xu Le couldn't help laughing at himself. He felt a little embarrassed for the faint excitement before. He became a mechanic engineer of the federal military. One of the ideals, now that he has become a technical captain in the federal army, and also has the authority of the final assembly base, it is inevitable that some ideals will be reflected in reality.
At the entrance of the Yunhou Hotel, Major Jiao said something to the guard, showed his ID and warrant, turned around, and said with a smile, "You can go."
Leaning against Zou Yu's bed last night, worried that he would startle the child who had just given birth for a few days. Xu Le's sleep quality was actually very poor. He was dragged to Yunhou Hotel early in the morning. A little sleepy, the morning sun, through the green leaves of the large locust trees around the hotel garden, turned into countless spots of light, gently flicking on his face and eyelids, like hypnosis, so that he was stunned. After being stunned, he reacted, said thank you to the other party, and walked out of the hotel door.
An off-road military vehicle was waiting for him outside the door. Before Xu Le got into the car, he subconsciously turned his head and squinted to look at the officers and military vehicles in the hotel. From a moment on, he was one of these officers.
The Nutshell Mobile Company is half-military and half-civilian. Xu Le is only a civilian second lieutenant and is not in the military battle list. The war between the Federation and the Empire, the conflict between the government and the anti-government army, has nothing to do with him directly. , However, when the importance of his research on MX mecha gradually emerged and was proven, the federal army would not allow such an important person, and he was still on the edge of the system, and he had to be absorbed in advance. At this moment , the epaulettes and permissions in the folder have made it clear that his new identity has become a real federal soldier.
Back at the hospital, Xu Le woke up from the awe-inspiring emotion he had previously heard when he heard the crisp cry of the baby. He walked towards Zou Yu's ward, but was stopped by several officers.
Xu Le was slightly startled, thinking that he had seen more officers today than he had seen in the first half of his life combined. What the hell is going on? Do you want to use these serious-looking colleagues to remind yourself of your new identity
Those officers stopped outside the ward unceremoniously, and their actions were so natural, showing a arrogance that can only be found on the battlefield, arrogant soldiers or many defeats, but if they are not always victorious, they will not. Develop such habits as soldiers in the army. Xu Le's brows furrowed and he said, "Please let me go, please."
An officer recognized Xu Le. Thinking of the relationship between the other party and the eldest lady in the ward, he smiled awkwardly and said softly, "I'm sorry, I didn't recognize it just now. Please come in."
Xu Le looked at the officer with a familiar face, and seemed to have seen it somewhere. After thinking about it, he remembered that it was that night in the forest garden. The officer seemed to have come with that person. , presumably that person is in the room.
A faint vigilance flooded into his heart, he pushed open the door of the ward and walked in, and at a glance he saw the lieutenant colonel sitting next to the hospital bed, because although the lieutenant colonel was only sitting on a chair, he didn't. With a tall and vigorous body, it makes him seem to be standing.
Looking at the figure's back like a hard bow that was broken away, and the side face with a hint of greenness, Xu Le's eyes narrowed.
Li Lunatic, who has beaten all the invincibles in the army.
