In the smoky smoke, Xu Le squinted his eyes, sucked the cigarette between his lips, and said in a vague but firm way, "If you kill me, I won't go to the camera to perform like these guys, what is this? Son? And the guy on the thirteenth floor, is there something wrong with his head? In front of the entire Federation, he is clamoring for me to be a marshal!"
In the dimly lit room, the end of the Federation's hottest reality documentary was playing on the TV screen. The familiar figure in the twilight made Xu Le feel a little hot on his cheeks. The figure captures the so-called desolation and vicissitudes of life, and is even more annoyed by the design of the camera that pretends to be lonely and imitates despair.
Xiong Linquan laughed twice, took a sip of the strong tea in the plastic pot in front of him, pressed the remote control to turn the stage, and said, "I think it's a good shot."
Magnolia, who was on the side, also smiled and said: "Actually, there is such a camera team in the team, and sometimes it can really adjust the atmosphere. However, after taking so long to shoot the material, it was finally cut to only one episode. I heard that The head of the Ministry of Defense's Department of Cultural Propaganda and news channels have great opinions on you..."
Xu Le licked his lips, lowered his head and flicked the ash, and said with a chuckle, "This is an agreement reached in advance, don't worry about it too much."
"I think the main headache for them is that you have to wear sunglasses before you are willing to leave the country, and you are always reluctant to accept positive interviews." Lan Xiaolong said with a shrug.
Xu Le shook his head, pushed open the door and walked out. The fresh air from the barracks was blowing in with the wind, which made him feel refreshed.
In the barracks, the seven groups of soldiers were gathering in groups of eight or nine. Like Xu Le and other officers, they had just finished watching the documentary. Everyone attaches great importance to their documentaries and the first time many people appear on TV. At this moment, many people are reminiscing about their appearance on the camera, regretting the stupidity in their conversations, and there will be bursts of laughter from time to time in the crowd. At the ground group barracks farther away, Da Vinci was exaggeratingly arguing with Xiao Shisanlou, and then it turned into a wrestling. In the end, there was no suspense. The governor's son was heavily crushed by the farmer's son, tossing and turning in pain. unbearable…
Seeing this scene, Xu Le couldn't help scratching his head and laughing, and the anger he had seen while watching TV disappeared without a trace.
The broadcast of the "Seven Groups" series of documentaries is another important move by the Presidential Residence, the Ministry of National Defense and the Federal News Channel following the unprecedented live broadcast of the military operations of the Seventh Iron Division.
Different from the last live broadcast of the Northern Expedition on Planet 5460, this series of documentaries focuses on the life of the front-line troops and some specific details, while the complexity of the seven groups of members, the common people's fierce veterans and the new recruits of Guijie Gongzi. Natural conflicts naturally have a certain inherent dramatic tension.
After the first episode of the "Seven Groups" series of documentaries titled Trial was broadcast, it immediately attracted the attention of the people of the Federation. While easily winning high ratings, it also sparked heated discussions among the people in the capital star circle. For the first time, people living in the Peace Star Circle had such a close understanding of the specific days in the military camp, the boring and even cruel training, and wondered how the social class differences in those teams would have a negative impact.
The second episode is playing tonight. At this time, more than two months have passed since the seventh group came to Planet 163, and more than 20 days have passed since the filming of the Venus Documentary Factory.
I believe that after this evening, the entire Federation will set off a wave of discussion.
As a party, as the chief of the seven groups, and as the concrete operator of the will of the federal government, Xu Le understands better than anyone what the meaning of this series of documentaries is. Suppress the protests of some anti-war activists to mend the huge gap between the rich and the poor in the Federation and between the classes.
Based on this understanding, Xu Le has never been enthusiastic about this matter. It was just a theatrical performance for federal political needs. No matter how you look at it, there is an unpleasant taste, but today, watching the team members in the military camp excited His attitude changed somewhat.
Standing on the steps, he quietly looked at the veterans and recruits who were mingling together, feeling a little satisfied in his heart. Dozens of days of symbiotic life and death on the battlefield can indeed change a lot. This kind of complete trust in placing one's back and one's life in his companions can even change the attitude of many people throughout their lives.
Just as Magnolia sighed after the first mission was over—although the members of the seventh group had special identities, it was impossible for the president and the Ministry of Defense to send countless iron soldiers to serve as nanny for these more than 100 people.
However, I don’t know if there is something in the dark blessing this team with too many tasks and meanings, or if the creator of the stars can’t bear to watch this nominal mercenary army, in the eyes of hundreds of millions of people in the federation The bottom became a tragic symbol. The seven groups came to Planet 163 for two and a half months, and performed eleven Charter Bureau missions, but miraculously, no one died.
There were only six recruits and one veteran who was extremely unlucky and stepped on the anti-infantry mines buried by the Imperials beside the mimosa tree. Because of their serious injuries, they were sent back to the main star of Xilin by the battleship. Among the seven wounded, four Individuals require amputation.
On the battlefield, someone may die at any time, but none of the seven groups will die. It is really difficult to bring sadness to the team due to these injuries. On the contrary, because they felt the threat of death together, but no one really died, everyone in the seven groups was in a very harmonious and harmonious atmosphere.
"Morning boss!"
"Hello boss!"
In the corner of the living area of the military camp, there are no chairs to sit on, but the soldiers who want to squat on the side of the training ground are jokingly discussing yesterday's TV, when they suddenly see two people walking towards them, they suddenly bounce like a spring and stand at attention Salute, and a loud compliment.
It's just that their left hand is still holding a lunch box, and some people's mouths are stuffed with food, which is especially funny when they are vague.
Xu Le, who was wearing sunglasses, shook his head helplessly. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the camera group not far away, thinking that if this continued, the soldiers in the seventh group would become natural comedians.
According to military discipline, the soldiers who were saluting on the roadside should have respectfully addressed him as "Sir", but for some unknown reason, Xu Le felt chills all over his body when he heard the word "Sir". Squeeze the back of your neck...
After queuing up to pick up the meal, Xu Le sat on the table in the sun, eating a standard meal consisting of three green vegetables, five nutritious pastes, a spoonful of rice, and a small amount of pickles. There was no disgust in his straight eyebrows. Emotions.
The soldiers of the seven groups sat around him subconsciously, no one dared to disturb him, but no one was willing to leave him too far, he was like an ignorant, speechless and speechless center, but because of some very Traits that are difficult to express in words attract a lot of things around the circle. Probably only the soldiers of the seven groups can clearly explain what this quality is. It is Xu Le's brave and calm performance in every battle, it is he who has saved the lives of many guys, and it is his silent temperament.
At this moment, a conflict suddenly broke out outside the living area. The team members who were eating looked back in amazement, and saw Gu Xifeng, who had a beautiful face under a wild tree, was with the curly-haired person who came from the Charter Bureau. Officials are angrily arguing about something.
Gu Xifeng is the best electronic technician in the seven groups. All the maintenance work of the battlefield command system and electronic control system is all done by him. While the seven groups are carrying out the reconstruction network task of the Charter Bureau on Planet 163, he naturally has to represent The seventh group, cooperating with the technical officer of the Charter Bureau, just didn't know what made him, who was usually calm like an electric current, so angry.
Xu Le looked there, put down the plastic spoon in his hand, and asked in confusion, "What's going on?"
"For the first few missions, the Charter Bureau always gave us the technical specifications and parameters in the plan when it arrived at the target area. For the team members, it was really difficult to avoid the eyes and ears of the imperial people and take over temporarily. It's too big." Magnolia glanced at him and explained, "This matter was mentioned at the last meeting. You asked Gu Xifeng to contact the official of the Charter Bureau and try to obtain the specifications and parameters in advance... It is estimated that the other party's The reaction was intense."
Xu Le hummed and looked over there quietly, beyond the hearing of many ordinary people, and clearly captured the words of the Charter Bureau official.
The Charter Bureau officials indifferently rejected Team Seven's request with confidentiality regulations, but what really made Gu Xifeng angry was that the Charter Bureau showed from the details that they didn't pay attention to the lives of the team.
In the framework of the federal society, the mysterious Charter Bureau is always somewhere in the cloud at the top, and the officials who serve the Charter Bureau naturally have an unpleasant sense of superiority and indifference.
Xu Le frowned slightly, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just lowered his head and started to eat. When Gu Xifeng entered the canteen aggrieved, he gave a relieved smile.
He knew very well in his heart that such an aloof but extremely mechanical bureaucratic institution like the Charter Bureau was a supreme weapon to the joy of allies for dozens of teams like the Seven Groups on this planet. However, although he was the youngest lieutenant colonel in the Federation, he still didn't have much strength to speak before the charter situation.
Under the gazes of the seven groups of members, he put down the tableware and walked to the curly-haired Charter Bureau official. After a moment of silence, he said in a very serious tone: "The Charter Bureau has the rules of the Charter Bureau, and the military has the military's customs. Since you don't want to temporarily give up those ridiculous secrecy regulations for the survival rate of your soldiers, then... I must remind you that if my people, because of your stupidity and conservativeness, pay unnecessary casualties, I will Look for Director Tai to seek justice."
The official looked at Xu Le calmly, and did not make any concessions because of the threat, nor was he timid because of the mention of Director Tai in his words, but was as cold and rigid as the Federal Central Computer.
