Said to be a holiday, the military department was at its busiest moment, and Gu Yu was not spared, so he was called back to the military department after resting at home for two days.
"Major General Gu, you need to dress up neatly. Today is the big day for you to confer the title of Major General, so you have to speak in front of the media!" Lin Xi'an poked his head beside him, looking at Gu Yu in the mirror as if it were very strange.
The army bugs of the cultural and art troupe were temporarily brought in, and they were helping Gu Yu to take care of them. The reporters of the major media in the empire stationed in the capital star were all waiting outside, with cameras and cameras in full array.
Glancing at Lin Xi'an's constantly probing head in the mirror, Gu Yu glanced at himself in the military uniform in the mirror, and said lazily in a long tone, "Still using-dressing? Am I looking unremarkable?"
Lin Xi'an held his chin and looked: "Don't say it, change into a formal dress, the temperament will be different."
The army bug of the art troupe said with a smile: "Major General Gu's skin is very good, and he doesn't need any powder at all."
Lin Xi'an said silently in his heart: That's true, just take care of Yu's face, it's too thick to apply another layer.
Gu Yu tapped his fingertips on the chair, feeling a little irritable. He didn't listen to their conversation, and turned on the light brain information interface to take a look.
This morning, Marshal Randall called him to his office, saying that in addition to conferring him the title of major general, he would formally hand over the position of commander of the Fifth Corps to him at the ceremony.
Since Lu Chen retired, the position of commander of the Fifth Army has been vacant for too long. There are not many high-ranking officers above the general level of the military, but because of Gu Yu's identity as the former army commander, he became the most suitable one.
Gu Yu should have been happy to receive such a big promotion, but he felt a little uncomfortable.
He seems to have always subconsciously felt that the position of the commander of the Fifth Army is reserved for his major general, and there is no insect to replace it. What was wrong was that in the end, the one who replaced his major general was himself.
He struggled for a long time, and just sent the news, but Lu Chen still hadn't replied.
That's right, the school was full of classes this morning, and the major general of his family had to pay full attention to everything he did, regardless of his mind.
"Major General, is it alright to comb all this hair?" The army bug behind him suddenly asked him, pulling Gu Yu out of his thoughts.
Gu Yu was stunned, the word "major general" reminded him of the worm that was specific to him.
"Okay." Gu Yu turned back slightly and nodded.
His long white hair like a waterfall was tied into a low ponytail, so that he could put on a large-brimmed hat later, and all the broken hair on his forehead was combed up and fixed into a back with hairspray.
"Is the major general ready?" There have been army bugs at the front desk to remind him a few times.
"Okay, okay, that's it!" The military worm of the art troupe finally adjusted the collar for Gu Yu and said, "Major General Gu, that's it."
Gu Yu got up, reached out and picked up the white gloves on the table, and put them on finger by finger with drooping eyelids.
He suddenly raised his eyes suddenly, and glanced at himself in the mirror.
Wearing a formal military dress with hidden gray, the hair combed to the back of the head will not fall, the smooth forehead is exposed, and when the end of the eye is lifted up, even Gu Yu himself feels that it is too harsh and unfamiliar.
When Adjutant Moer saw that he had put on his white gloves, he immediately handed over his brimmed hat, but suddenly heard Gu Yu ask him a strange question: "Is my temperament very different?"
Mo Er was stunned, looked up at him, and quickly smiled: "Major General, I think you have always been like this, and it has never changed."
Gu Yu stopped talking, put it on silently, and gently pushed the brim of his hat with his index finger, half of his face was in the shadows, and the whole worm seemed more and more awe-inspiring.
Lin Xi'an went outside for a walk, and then paced back with his hands behind his back, looking at Gu Yu's expression from a distance, wondering what he was doing with his face on such a good day, and was about to come over and make fun of him.
Suddenly seeing Gu Yu lowered his head and glanced at the light-brained screen, his eyes instantly lit up, and his drooping head was lifted up.
Come on, Lin Xi'an understood in seconds.
In addition to Lieutenant General Lu, who can make Gu Yu look like this, there is nothing else he can think of.
Lu Chen sent him a message during the break.
[Yuyu, I already know about this, Randall mentioned it to me, and I also think you are the best insect choice, don't think too much, the conferring ceremony is well performed, and I will watch the live broadcast when I go back. ]
Gu Yu quickly sent back a voice.
"I see, I didn't think much about it. When I go home, I want Teacher Lu to make a delicious celebration." He lowered his voice in public, but he still couldn't hide the sweet taste in it. He heard Lieutenant Colonel Moore, who was closest to him, for a while. Goosebumps.
After the Ura Star mission, all the teams performing the mission were promoted, and Moore is now a lieutenant colonel.
Lin Xi'an also got goosebumps, and when Gu Yu approached, he couldn't help but complain: "Major General Gu, your face-changing speed is still the same as before, you have been pretending to be tender and coquettish for so many years. Tired of crooked?"
Gu Yu sent him a hehe: "Are you busy, President Lin? You still have nothing to do every day when there are so many things in the review meeting?"
Lin Xi'an felt like he was hit by an arrow.
Since Gu Yu came to the military, Lin Xi'an felt that their workload has not decreased at all, and it has gradually increased day by day. In particular, the two baskets of Gu worms brought back by Gu Yu and Lu Chen from Wula Star this time are of great significance, so that their review meeting had to work overtime day and night.
The military's first toiled life is none other than their department.
Lin Xi'an's vacation is forever hopeless.
He pushed Lin Xi'an back, and reassured Lu Chen, Gu Yu was refreshed, pressed the brim of his hat, and stepped out with his legs on military boots.
"Crack-knock-"
All kinds of bug-eye cameras floating in the air sounded at the same time, Gu Yu half-squinted his eyes, and after getting used to the strong light in front of him, he evoked a slight smile on the corners of his lips:
"Hello everyone, I am the newly appointed commander of the Fifth Army, Major General Gu Yu."
As soon as his voice fell, cameras from different directions flashed at the same time.
Randall was wearing a white military uniform, and stood on the stage not far away with a gentle smile. Behind him stood the imperial crown prince, Kleist, who was wearing a formal royal dress.
Although the conferring of general-level officers is decided by the military department, it is nominally attended by the royal family. The current emperor of the empire, His Majesty, is very old, and the crown prince Kleist has basically replaced all the work of the emperor, becoming the only spokesperson for the royal family today.
Gu Yu rarely corrected his expression, slowly walked up the stairs under the attention of spotlights from all directions, walked straight to the Marshal, and gave a military salute.
Randall spoke in a gentle tone of praise for his achievements by the military, and finally picked up the badge of the rank of major general of the Fifth Legion from the tray handed over by the army bug, and pinned it to Gu Yu's chest in person.
The badge is still very familiar to Gu Yu - the bright morning star in the center seems to have remained unchanged from time immemorial, firmly supported by two slender willow branches and firmly supported.
Gu Yu's sense of belonging to the Fifth Legion came very naturally, and the transition was quick. It seemed that after he entered the army gate with the support of Lu Chen, the name of this Legion had been firmly engraved on his body. At first it was for the bug he loved, and now it seems to be more than that.
As for why, Gu Yu couldn't say for a while. It may be many years later, when he is old, when Lu Chen is old, when they snuggle together and talk about the past, maybe he will understand what else he is for at that time.
Kleist then stepped forward and put the epaulette representing the rank of Commander of the Fifth Army on his shoulder. A small epaulette was put on, but it made Gu Yu faintly aware of the weight that Lu Chen felt in this position. called the weight of responsibility.
Whether it is good or bad, who can say what will happen in the future.
Kleist lowered his voice and said with a smile: "Major General Gu Yu, congratulations, congratulations, the future is promising."
Gu Yu lowered his fan-like eyelashes and looked at Kleister. He is a little shorter than Gu Yu, a Grade A female, but a few years older than him, and has passed the threshold of 30 this year.
This is not the first time that Gu Yu has met Kleist. When they were young, they often met at various aristocratic banquets of capital stars.
Even, Gu Yu almost got engaged to him. But that was just a joke. Although Her Royal Highness the Queen was very pleased, it was a pity that his son Kleist was born early and was already engaged to another male.
When he grew up, Gu Yulan's cancer became more and more advanced, and when he lay down at home, he didn't care about the outside world. Naturally, he never had the chance to see his childhood playmate Kleister again.
But Kleist's marriage was not a happy one, even if Gu Yu stayed at home all the year round, he had heard about it. After all, about the peach-colored royal news about the crown prince, who doesn't like to write a large-scale press release in the media of the empire
According to the imperial media, the crown prince and his lord, Prince Chris Moser, have been at odds all the year round. Although Prince Chris has not allowed other females to enter the door, according to the photos disclosed by various tabloids, His Royal Highness is extremely outside. It is possible to raise a "confidante".
When the two worms were at their worst, it was said that the divorce agreement had been written. But neither party had time to sign. When the crown prince brought the prince to the front line to condolences, the Atlantic Federation raided the military base, killing Prince Chris Moser on the spot.
However, in this tragedy, what surprised all the worms in the empire the most was that the official obituary explained that the person in danger at that time was actually His Royal Highness, but the prince rescued him with his own body. In the end, the crown prince was only slightly injured. The prince died as a result.
Don't say that the people of the Empire don't believe it. I deeply feel that I have read the fake news for so many years, and even the Kleist worm at the scene of the incident is stunned.
He couldn't be stunned. He and Chris Mercer were a marriage of pure interest.
This Moser is the Moser of the Moser Company, the largest capital of the empire. The richest bug in the entire empire is Prince Chris's mother-in-law.
The royal family was short of money, and Mosel was short of reputation. The two sides quickly hit it off and engaged their two children.
But what happened later was beyond their expectations. How could the richest worm in the entire empire expect that this seemingly perfect marriage he made would take the life of his most precious male worm son in the future
After the conferring ceremony, Marshal Randall was the busiest, and he left without a word with Gu Yu.
Kleister was quite leisurely, so he came to the locker room at the back to find Gu Yu, leaned against the door frame and said familiarly, "Commander Gu, do you think we should talk about something? Have dinner? How many years have we been together? I haven't seen you, by the way, how is your brother recently?"
Gu Yu removed the thick coat of the military dress, and answered briefly with interest: "I have no time, I have to go home. Thank you Your Highness for your concern, my brother and I are both doing well."
Kleist sighed: "Sure enough, you won't be impressed for a few days, Major General Gu, when you said that I played with you in the mud when I was a child, who would have thought that you would now become the commander of the Fifth Army, in charge of the entire imperial power. one fifth?"
General Gu Yu threw his brim hat on the table, loosened his tight collar, and responded lazily, "Who played with mud when he was a child? That thing is so dirty."
Kleist accommodatingly said: "Okay, you are not playing, you are watching me and your brother play on the side."
Gu Yu found that every insect he encountered was unusually busy, and gave him a stern look: "Didn't the media say every day that you can't be too busy? Why are you so busy now?"
Kleist leaned against the door frame and folded his arms, as if he didn't understand the meaning of expelling guests in his words, and sighed melancholy: "I'm busy - but the busier you are, the lonelier you will be. What should I do?"
Gu Yu said vigilantly: "You can go alone when you are lonely, just don't come to me."
Kleister: "..." He was silent for a few seconds, ignoring Gu Yu, and continued to say: "I have recently tried to contact some male insects in their thirties, chat with them, and understand what is going on in their minds. What are you thinking about tonight?"
Gu Yu, a male in his thirties: "..."
"Understood, you are tired of playing with fresh meat, and plan to change your taste."
Kleist squinted his naturally romantic peach blossom eyes, dissatisfied: "How can you say that, Major General Gu? I approached with a research mentality, and chatted seriously."
Gu Yu was too lazy to talk to him, so he put on his regular clothes and said, "Then you can continue to study slowly, I have something else to do, so I'll go first."
Kleister wondered sincerely, "I'm not busy. What are you busy with all day?"
Gu Yu passed by him, turned his head when he heard the words, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, his eyebrows became more and more dazzling, and Kleister was a little dazed.
"My lady is waiting for me to come home for dinner," he said, with a bit of complacent flaunting in his tone.
The voice was not small, and the nearby army worms could hear it clearly, and they all read the implication from his proud tone in tacit understanding - one of you present is one, none of you.
Hehe, sure enough, this is very Gu Major General.
However, Kleist was unable to speak for a long time, and stayed where he was, silently looking at the direction he was leaving. It was not until the secretary behind him stepped forward to urge him to leave in a low voice that Kleister suddenly came back to his senses.
He squinted his peach blossom eyes, and said to the secretary: "You tell me, what are the males of this age thinking? It's weird, I always think I understand it, but I don't think I ever understand it. "
The secretary knew what he was talking about, so he couldn't answer, but sighed inwardly.
Kleist recited another sentence in a low voice, as if saying it to himself: "If Chris is alive, he must be of this age..."
The male worm, who he thought he could read, but had never read, should be so bright and dazzling if he was still alive, even if he didn't love him.
