The meeting room was dead silent.
Dongfang Yu, the head of the 1st Regiment of the Seventh Iron Division, stood in front of Du Shaoqing, as he had done for many years in the past, with his head held high, his chest raised, his stomach closed, his neck stiffened, his legs held together, and his eyes flat. His military posture was absolutely standard and his bearing was absolutely awe-inspiring. He will never make the slightest mistake in these aspects, but at the moment his temples are a little wet, and sweat gradually seeps out from the roots of his hair, making his neat hair look messy and tangled.
Du Shaoqing put his hands behind his back, his hands holding the black lambskin gloves seemed to be straining, and the blood that had just congealed oozes out again. Looking at this loyal subordinate who has followed him for many years in front of him, he didn't speak, there was no angry expression on his face, there was only a strange sense of calm, those cold star-like eyes fell on Dongfang Yu's body, as if he was carefully observing. a stranger.
There was more sweat oozing out of Dongfang Jade's temples.
Looking at the familiar but unfamiliar officer in front of him, Du Shaoqing thought about his trust in him, his education, and his trust in Ximen Jin... He slightly raised his face with a frosty face and looked at the meeting room. On the military flag on the wall in front, his brows trembled slightly, but he still did not speak, but the tall and straight body like a poplar tree fell into people's eyes, but it seemed to suddenly become a little desolate and tired.
The sweat instantly wet the back of Dongfang Yu's military uniform, making him uncomfortable like sticky rice milk. What made him even more uncomfortable was the disappointment shown by the teacher at this time and the strong sense of guilt that suddenly poured out of his heart.
He subconsciously stretched his right hand to his waist as if possessed, and took out the cold pistol.
"what are you going to do!"
"Captain Dongfang, put down the gun!"
The generals in the conference room stood up angrily and anxiously, looked at the pistol with a metallic death sheen in his hand, and shouted. At the side of the long table, only four people saw Dongfang Yu's action of drawing his gun without any reaction. Commander Yi Changtian, Commander Yu Chenghai, and Xu Le were still sitting silently, while Du Shaoqing stood with his hands behind his back, with no expression on his face. .
"Death can't solve the problem, this matter can't just end like this."
Xu Le looked at Dongfang Yu's trembling right hand holding the pistol, and said, "I haven't restored the original record, and the military court will not convict you of capital punishment, but you need to explain the deletion of important data. If you really care about the glory of the military , then at least before cowardly committing suicide, it is necessary to explain exactly who in the Charter Bureau deleted the data."
Although the generals in the conference room are all important figures in the federal military, but this matter involves the Charter Bureau, and they don't know how to continue the investigation. Even if the Ministry of Defense comes forward in person, it will be extremely troublesome.
It wasn't until they heard Xu Le's calm but strong words that they remembered the strange launch of the Charter Network on 3320, and the conflict with the Charter Bureau team on the battleship. Ability to investigate this matter to the end.
"I don't understand what you're talking about."
The head of Dongfang Yu glanced at Xu Le, his eyes were full of pride, indifference and resentment. He didn't care about anyone except the teacher. With a twist of his wrist, he simply and neatly put the muzzle of the gun into his mouth, and pressed the On the trigger.
At this moment, there is only one person in the entire universe who can stop Dongfang Yu.
"I don't allow you to die." Du Shaoqing retracted his gaze, looked at him and said, "You are not allowed to die until the matter is cleared up."
Upon hearing the commander's order, Dongfang Yu's neck was full of blue veins, and sweat dripped down his sharp jaw like a torrential rain. After some kind of ideological struggle, he finally took a heavy breath and slowly took the gun out of his mouth. come out.
The military police stepped forward to disarm and took him out of the conference room to be held separately.
Du Shaoqing turned to Xu Le, and after being silent for a long time, he said in a difficult tone: "Sorry, I will give you an explanation on this matter."
"The charge of tampering with important data is not enough to shoot him, unless you go to the Charter Bureau and figure it out. To be honest, until now I don't understand, if there are really big people who want to clean up my influence in the Commonwealth , why is the Seventh Master Tie doing this."
Xu Le held a cigarette in his mouth, squinted his eyes, looked at the undeveloped primitive meadow below the base, and the flock of sheep scattered like white clouds above, and said, "Maybe Dongfangyu really doesn't know that someone wiped the original data, I I think what he said before he wanted to commit suicide is very true. The problem is, I am now very doubtful that Du Shaoqing will be involved in this matter. "
"When the Seventh Group did dark work for the government before, I saw a lot of ugly and filthy dark sides, but if you say Du Shaoqing was involved in this, I don't believe it."
A short-haired federal soldier sat next to him, with a half-burned Sanqi cigarette sandwiched between his index and middle fingers. There was no epaulette on his uniform, and his feet in military boots were extremely tight, like a girl's quiet and supple. .
"Senior Shaoqing certainly has a lot of tactics, but tactics don't mean scheming. The most important point is that he is a very proud person, even too proud, so proud that he does not allow the slightest smudge on his military uniform."
"Anyway, the case will continue to be investigated. Du Shaoqing kicked Dongfang Yu into our division's NTR team, and he will stay there until he finds out." Xu Le glanced at him and asked, "I mainly Let's see if you are satisfied with this account."
"Dongfangyu stays in the NTR, and life is definitely better than death. What am I dissatisfied with? The key is the Charter Bureau, there will always be someone responsible for the unjust deaths of Xie Wen and others."
Xu Le glanced at him with a cigarette in his mouth, but after all he couldn't hold back the doubt in his heart, he hesitantly stretched out his hand, rubbed heavily on his short-cut hair, and asked curiously, "Old Bai, why did you shave your hair? Such an ugly head?"
Magnolia gently took his hand down and explained softly, "It's not ugly, that's why you're not used to it."
"I'd like to see more to see if a flower really grows on your face." Xu Le shrugged, kicked the wet soil under his feet with his military boots, and sighed, "Unfortunately you have to leave soon, I really can't do anything about this matter, but after a while, I'll find a relationship from the ministry and call you back."
Dongfang Yu was thrown into the NTR to make up for the mistakes he had made. The investigation is still going on. If he ever committed a crime, he would have to pay more. However, Bai Yulan tore Dongfang Yu's ears in public. Although he doesn't need to be shot now, and even the confinement is only symbolic for two days, but in order to maintain the most important military discipline and order of the army, he can't continue to stay in the barracks. .
"I'm not coming back."
Magnolia said something that shocked Xu Le.
"When I joined the army, the hair on the bottom hadn't even grown. Don't laugh, it's the truth."
He lowered his head and took a sigh of relief, and said with a self-deprecating tone: "At that time, the old 17th division had not been completely disbanded, how early would you say? Mercenaries, there are seven groups, and finally entered the new seventeenth division... I have been in a big circle in my life, but I am always in the army."
"Training, fighting, killing; killing, fighting, training..." Bai Yulan raised her head, looked at him and said with blinking eyes, "The barracks is my home, I will miss it after I leave, but I stay for too long, It's really boring."
She rubbed her middle finger on her index finger, and the corner of Magnolia's lips curled up. She watched with satisfaction as the cigarette butt fell into the grass more than ten meters away, and continued: "I thought you were dead a year ago, and I already I made a discharge report, but there was no approval, and I was worried about these guys in the seventh group, especially those new cubs, so I came to the empire to take a look."
Xu Le was silent, thinking hard about how to make him change his mind.
"How did you spend the year in the empire?" Magnolia asked.
There are many details about the empire's year full of escape and death. Even in the face of the routine investigation by the Internal Affairs Office and the Charter Bureau, Xu Le did not say it, but at this time the question was Bai Yulan.
After escaping from Donglin, Xu Le has always been vigilant against many people and things. After a few years, in the Federation, he can still trust Shi Qinghai, Zou Yu, and Bai Yulan. .
"One year of empire, the biggest gain is a paralysis, a watch... and a mother and son."
"The combination of these three words, and it's a gain, sounds sinister."
"That's because your mind is too evil."
"I've been to the Empire, and more than once." Magnolia's eyes stretched from the grass in front of her to the boundary between the green and yellow, and said with a frown, "When I was a mercenary in Baishui, I didn't do anything. Ever? So everything here is nothing new to me.”
"This has something to do with freshness." Xu Le thought that he was about to leave the army and refused to accept his help, and said angrily: "You don't worry about those brats, can you safely leave the army now?"
"This is a battle of large troops, what role can we individuals play?" Magnolia took the cigarette butt from his mouth, lit another cigarette, lowered her head and said with a smile, "And... I'm married."
Xu Le was shocked by the news and was speechless. After being silent for a long time, he patted his shoulder heavily: "Where's the girl? Isn't she pretty?"
"It's definitely not as pretty as Jian Shui'er." Magnolia replied with a smile: "You should have seen that very fierce nurse in the Army General Hospital... Last time you smoked in the ward, she was trained by her."
"Good thing, come back, I'll stay and watch these brats." Xu Le said seriously.
Magnolia shook her head: "You can't even watch it. The Federation is definitely preparing for a press conference after you go back."
Xu Le was silent, not wanting to talk about this extended topic that gave him a headache, suddenly thought of something, frowned slightly, and joked: "Big Xiong said that you didn't smoke this year because of your grief over my death, wouldn't this be too much? No man?"
"Fart." Magnolia lay back on the meadow, smoking a cigarette, looking at the exotic blue sky, and said, "I quit smoking because I want to have a baby."
"Fear? It seems that you are not really a man."
The blue sky, the green and yellow grass, the cloud-like flock of sheep, and the wisps of the smoke of the Panax notoginseng brand cigarettes, from time to time, two people sneered or spoke calmly.
