Charisma is a very mysterious thing. It is difficult to tell whether it is a mixture of temperament and way of doing things, or a combination of pure external appearance and expression, but it does exist, and it can convince people to attract people and comfort people. Confuse people.
It's like the two most famous people in the federal military in recent years. Their age is very different, their class is not small, and their behavior is completely different. They can't accept or even hate each other's behavior. Although they still hate each other's behavior, they have to admit that the other party has a certain personality charm that can attract the attention of onlookers.
Of course, there is absolutely nothing in common between the two's personal charms. If you really want to study them carefully, there are probably only the four words of silence and perseverance that occasionally pop up when facing difficulties.
Du Shaoqing stared blankly at Spring Snow outside the window, inexplicably remembering that rainy day more than a year ago, he held a gun at Ximen Jin's eyebrows, and then the kind-hearted Vice President Byron moved his round body and pushed the door open. Entering, he took off his raincoat and wet hat naturally and casually, and then all his anger was quenched in the rain.
Now that the kind-hearted Vice President and Ximen Jin are both dead, they died on Parliament Hill. At this moment, there is another person in his office, a person who makes Du Shaoqing feel a little tired and does not want to face it very much.
General Li Zaidao, Chairman of the Federal Joint Chiefs of Staff and Commander of the First Military Region, calmly looked at Du Shaoqing behind the table, placed his hands stably in front of his abdomen, and said, "When I introduced you to the association, you asked me directly. I have said that I disagree with my father's tactical philosophy in many ways."
Du Shaoqing looked at the sunglasses on the table without saying a word.
Li Zaidao calmly looked at the other side of the sunglasses on the table, and continued: "But I know very well that you have always respected your father to a certain extent. It seems awkward to say such a thing as a child, but I think it is the truth."
Du Shaoqing's eyes were fixed but not chaotic, and he replied in a deep voice: "The marshal is really a model for soldiers, and Shaoqing has studied throughout his life."
"I don't have the charisma of my father, nor the charisma of Mr. President. In fact, I always thought that I was a very ordinary military instructor."
Li Zaidao looked away from the sunglasses, looked at Du Shaoqing and said with a smile: "For so many years, I have been trying to tell you and many people what I think is right, but from a while ago, the class I taught The content does not get your full approval."
"Mr. Chairman." Du Shaoqing was silent for a long time, lightly holding the legs of his sunglasses, and said, "I am a soldier, and I only obey orders."
"very good."
Li Zaidao stood up, took out his military cap from his armpit, put it on, and said, "I hope you will remember what you said today, when the federation needs you, when the order arrives, you and your troops must make sure to move in the right direction. on the road."
Du Shaoqing slowly stood up from behind the table, raised his right arm, put his five fingers together and slanted his temples, and silently gave a military salute.
Looking at Li Zaidao's back, he suddenly said, "Shi Qinghai is dead, Xu Le will definitely come back, at least... come back to take a look."
Li Zaidao stopped at the door, and replied after a while: "I have rejected his application. As a soldier, leaving without permission is an unforgivable fault."
"Xu Le has done a lot for the Federation. In my opinion, he is at least an excellent soldier." Du Shaoqing's eyebrows twitched slightly, like a sharp sword struggling between returning to its sheath and drawing it out.
"There are many things, and we are not willing to watch them happen, but the countless failures in history, especially the fact of the blood in front of the parliament a few days ago and the painful lessons tell us that this magnificent change must not be Any tenderness and hesitation are allowed."
Li Zaidao turned around and looked at him and said calmly.
Du Shaoqing looked at him and suddenly said, "Teacher, I hope you are right."
After a moment of silence, Li Zaidao replied: "You are the best and most proud student I have ever taught, you are even more proud than a tiger, you have never really regarded me as a teacher, and naturally you have never really believed in me. "
"But since someone was able to convince you to join this great cause... it doesn't matter if I'm right or not, as long as you believe the person you want to believe is right, that's enough."
The door was closed, Du Shaoqing sat back in the chair, leaned back slightly to look at the raindrops outside the window, and there was an indescribable sense of disappointment between Yingwu's cold and stern brows. For that perhaps great goal, he and his troops have retreated and retreated on certain lines. Where will they retreat in the future, will it be a bottomless abyss
After leaving the office building of the Seventh Railway Division in the Capital Special Administrative Region, Li Zaidao did not go home, but rushed to the second H camp of the garrison area south of Wangdu.
The seventeen mechanics who returned to S1 from the front-line round battles are stationed in the southern base of the First Military Region. Many poisonous officers in the division headquarters are concentrated in the Second H camp to receive relevant imperial language and cultural education in accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of Defense. The new seventeenth division was headed by Chenghai.
"Uncle Yu, how dare you work and come out in person."
Looking at Li Zaidao, who made a special trip to the main entrance of the camp to meet his old friend, he stepped forward and took a few steps, then stretched out his hands.
Master Yu Chenghai smiled and said nothing.
Next, the two had an extremely long conversation in the Second H camp office. Since it was a private meeting and did not involve any important military affairs, no record was made, and no one knew that General Li Zaidao, the No. 1 figure in the federal military, made a special trip to visit the former member of the God of War and today's 17th division commander. something, what does he want to do.
Five dark green bulletproof military vehicles were driving on Highway 3 at high speed. The military vehicle that cleared the road at the front hummed in a low voice, and all kinds of vehicles on the black road avoided one after another.
An officer in the back row of the military vehicle looked at the light curtain of the workbench in his hand, and asked in puzzlement: "General, since the mission has already started, why do you need to deal with the Seventeenth Division? The target cannot return to the capital star circle alive. Instead, there will be problems.”
Li Zaidao, who was closing his eyes and resting, slowly opened his eyes. He was not displeased by the questioning of his loyal subordinates. After a moment of silence, he calmly explained: "Because no one can be sure whether the target will come back alive, even if we start the first-level mission. You know, I never underestimate anyone..."
He turned his head to look at the vehicles that were quickly overtaken by the window, and said, "Especially a young man with the first-order authority of the Charter Bureau."
The battleship seems to be moving slowly in the dark background of the universe, but the actual speed has been increased into the second interval. This new type of warship of the second feather class has not yet been delivered to the military, and it still needs to go to the Ministry of Defense assembly base to install related weapons. System, so the speed is very amazing. It only took 27 hours to get rid of the gravitational pull of Xilin Galaxy, pass through an auxiliary torque hole, and start docking with the federal space checkpoint.
The aircraft travels through the vast and magnanimous universe, in fact, with the help of different levels of twist rate holes, through one after another star field, the Federation has an important strategic position in the territory. There are high-level space checkpoints. These checkpoints are like security doors inside the building, controlling the traffic between the stars.
The front end of the long and narrow star field in the Xilin Region is close to the Night Scorpion Nebula and the Gary Corridor. The two giant torsion rate holes here lead to the Empire, and it is impossible to fully deploy the defense. The torsion rate hole below it leads to the Bermuda Triangular Star. The domain is undoubtedly facing the most complicated situation, so there are the most space checkpoints and the highest level here.
All aircraft passing through the Twist Rate Hole must be parked in the giant space checkpoint. The aircraft will be scanned by the entire ship. At the same time, all organisms must enter the checkpoint for scanning. In order to prevent the Empire, especially those refugees from Bermuda, from sneaking into the Federation, The scanning procedures are very strict and meticulous.
Xu Le stood by the porthole holding a coffee cup, looking at the bottomless black universe under the window, frowning slightly inconspicuously, it would take about 40 minutes to complete the scanning process, and the time was not long. He waited a little anxiously.
Not like many people worry and worry, he will be impulsive and crazy because of the death of a friend. At least he thinks he is calm and just wants to complete a farewell trip, but this trip seems to be unable to be truly calm.
Not long after the battleship left the Sunset State, he received an interstellar delay call from Brin, the director of the office of the president's residence. During the call, Director Brin relayed the president's intentions and hoped that he would not leave the country without authorization and return to the capital. Did the president mean it
Xu Le squinted his eyes and took a sip of bitter coffee. He turned around and leaned on the transparent porthole, feeling a little tired.
Hundreds of employees of the ancient bell company responsible for driving the warship are sitting in the lounge waiting. Some people are watching movies, some people are reading electronic newspapers, and more people are watching the corridor at the other end of the hall curiously. .
In the corridor, dozens of elementary school students are looking at everything in the space checkpoint curiously, discussing something excitedly and nervously. The fully sealed reinforced plastic glass partition completely separates the corridor and the hall, but it fails to cut off the children chatting. sound like a bird.
The primary school students walked into the transparent operating room at the end of the corridor one by one, and a sharpened Type II robotic arm quickly installed strips of metal bracelets on the children's wrists.
Xu Le squinted at the transparent partition, and subconsciously rubbed his metal bracelet.
This is a spring break group of primary school students from Bermuda. They received funding from the federal government's Stone Fund and were invited to visit the capital star circle. This kind of cultural adsorption activity has just been implemented by the federal government for less than five years, and its impact on Bermuda is certainly unpredictable. However, even for this kind of activity, these Bermuda elementary school students must wear temporary chip bracelets if they want to enter the federal government.
Xu Le watched over there with a coffee cup, thinking of his old friend in Bermuda, and didn't know how he was doing now. Suddenly his hand tightening on the coffee cup.
On the transparent partition side, Bermuda students who had finished wearing chip bracelets began to line up. They curiously touched the hard objects on their hands, and then, under the command of the teacher, hummed a very old song aloud.
"The first cup of wine, the sun was shining, the ivy outside the window crawled into my eyes. The second cup of wine, the spring breeze was rippling lightly, and the tip of the leaves brushed my eyebrows. The third cup of wine, the birds chirped and pecked lightly. My heart… "
Xu Le raised his eyebrows curiously, then smiled, this is really a good song.
