Face Slapping the General

Chapter 62: Splitting the troops (part 2)

Two weeks later, Wu Qiao officially led the troops to the new base.

The old base will be handed over to Lingzhi to lead.

The new base is located in the middle of the empire and consists of four fleets. It is one of the departure areas for strategic forces and strategic reserves.

Different bases in the empire have different functions: the central base is convenient for soldiers to quickly attack and fly to designated locations in various directions to perform combat tasks; the defense base is placed next to large cities and other important areas, which is conducive to defense; the early warning base is along the The establishment of the border allows the earliest discovery of enemy dynamics; as for some powerful interstellar missiles, they are hidden on deserted planets and are always ready to be launched.

Wu Qiao met his new officer: Robin.

Robin is not too young, but compared with Darrell, it can be said that he is youthful.

She is about sixty or seventy years old, with long blonde hair twisted into a very elegant bun, looking younger.

After the formal procedures were completed, Robin asked Wu Qiao to come over and chat casually.

Wu Qiao originally thought that the chief would ask about his views on the war, so he prepared very detailed things that the other party might ask. Who knows, Robin talked with him for two hours, and there was nothing related to military affairs.

At the beginning, Robin said: "Just chat, understand, don't be nervous."

"Oh..." Wu Qiao knew that the chiefs were always like this, saying they were chattering, but in fact they had deep meaning in their words.

He looked down, and there was a row of tea and food on the table, with a gesture of intending to chat.

Wu Qiao told himself not to talk nonsense.

Robin asked him: "How old are you?"

"Twenty-two years old, almost twenty-three." Wu Qiao felt that this might mean that he was young and lightly responsible, but he was heavy.

Robin asked again: "Do you have any brothers or sisters?"

"...?" Wu Qiao replied, "There is a sister."

Why are you here?

What Wu Qiao didn’t expect at all was that afterwards, all Robin asked was "How old is your sister's older than you", "How is your relationship with your sister", "Have you had any conflicts with your sister?", "You After conflicts with my sister, who will give in first", "Will the parents favor one of them?" and so on.

Make Wu Qiao dizzy.

As long as there is a new person in Wu Qiao's words, she must carefully ask who this person is.

Four hours later, she learned about all the relatives in Wu Qiao's family and how these relatives are related to each other.

Those are not even clear to Tan Yan.

After coming out, Wu Qiao was still at a loss.

From others, Wu Qiao understood that he, the new chief, especially likes to chat. He uses chat to draw closer to each other, and he is a chief with a very strong affinity. However, she has one problem, that is, she loves to listen to stories, and she only loves to listen to real stories. Every time someone talks about weird people around her, she listens with great gusto.

Once, the wife of one of her subordinates came to the base and said that she was going to divorce and accused her husband of being innocent and unrighteous. The wife talked about it for a long, long time, when she said, "Once the two of them went to buy curtains, and her husband who wanted to be a fan wanted blue ones", the husband couldn't stand it anymore and asked Robin to stop paying attention to her. , Because Robin should have a lot to do. As a result, Robin only glanced at his subordinates faintly, then turned his head and asked his wife: "What color did you buy in the end?"

But Wu Qiao also knew that Robin seemed to be a different person as soon as she entered the battlefield. Her usual traits were gone. Her style was fierce and fierce, and people couldn't imagine what she was usually like.

Wu Qiao remembered what he said to Robin when he couldn't help it: "If there is a sister, I will deceive myself and tell myself that if I'm gone, at least my sister can accompany my parents."

"..." Robin didn't speak. She naturally also has family. However, as the saying goes, "How dare you cherish your life when the crisis is at this point", for the children of more people, there are always some people whose children are going to go to the battlefield. It must be hard for people in peaceful times to imagine how brave people can be in troubled times.

"But," Wu Qiao lowered his eyes, "Now that there is another person by my side, it is very difficult for him to deceive himself and others."

Tan Yan said, this life will be him. Wu Qiao felt that since Tan Yan said this, he became a little bit scared of death.

"Is it a girlfriend or boyfriend?" Robin asked again.

"Yeah." Wu Qiao nodded.

"Let him be stronger." Robin didn't say anything like that there will be nothing wrong. "Two months ago, in our place, another wife chose to end her life and follow her husband, leaving them 18 years old. Son."

Wu Qiao was silent, and then he said, "He won't, I'm not worried."

"That's fine." Robin sighed. As long as it survives then, it will always get better later.

Wu Qiao said again: "Because he can't."

"..." This time, looking at Wu Qiao's appearance, Robin, the most curious one, didn't even ask what "can't".

This base is not very far from the capital, only one crossing is needed to reach it.

Tomorrow’s integration will only begin in the afternoon, and now it’s just noon, and there are 25 hours left to schedule.

Because they only went on a long journey yesterday, Robin told them to take a rest today and tomorrow.

"..." Wu Qiao felt tangled.

Go or not?

This time... it seems to be too tight to go to the capital. I will return after a while, but I can barely return.

At his level, he can come and go freely when he has no mission.

After Kevin came forward, the Republic retreated. At present, both sides are standing still, so there is really no mission.

Wu Qiao thought for a whole minute.

The final decision is to go.

Now that I can go, why not go?

He is not afraid of being tired.

As long as you can see Tan Yan, it is worth it, and no matter how tired it is, it is worth it.

He didn't know when he would have to wait for the next chance.

In the absence of a mission, the officer could not leave the camp with ships or mechas, so Wu Qiao chose to travel between cities.

His new base is not built in a barren land like the last one.

After landing at the airport, Wu Qiao saw a flower shop.

"..." He remembered that it was written in the love guide that between lovers, they should always send flowers. Sending flowers will make the other person very happy, and different numbers of roses have different meanings.

Wu Qiao walked into the flower shop, and a sunny and handsome young man came out to receive him.

"Uh," Wu Qiao asked a little embarrassedly, "are there any roses?"

"Of course!" The young man showed a neat row of teeth, "I don't have to do this business without roses."

"Um..." Wu Qiao thought for a while and said, "Then, I want ninety-nine flowers."

"Okay!"

Wu Qiao has read the love guide many times, and if he reads it again, the book will almost be broken. Therefore, Wu Qiao remembers clearly in his heart what the meaning of how many roses represent.

These ninety-nine flowers are forever. Just now, after talking with Robin, Wu Qiao was a little depressed. Now, if you send it out for a long time, it seems you can relax a little and give yourself a good sign.

The young man quickly **** the roses.

"Um..." Wu Qiao said, touching one of them with his hand, "This one is not very energetic, can I change it?"

In case it dies after a while, it won't be ninety-nine.

"Oh..." The young man looked at the flower, "Okay, no problem."

"Well," Wu Qiao continued, "and this one, this one, this one, this one, this one..."

He changed ten flowers in one breath.

"..." The florist guy had never seen Wu Qiao, a perfectionist obsessive-compulsive disorder patient who had looked at each flower carefully, and looked at Wu Qiao for several seconds in a daze.

In the end, Wu Qiao, who got every big and red bouquet, felt embarrassed and gave him a very extravagant tip.

Everything was ready, Wu Qiao dialed Tan Yan's communication.

Tan Yan obviously didn't expect it.

"Are you in the military department?" Wu Qiao asked.

"No... you wait a moment." Tan Yan chose to mute after speaking, and then resumed after a few seconds. "I'll give you an address. Come here."

"Oh...good." Wu Qiao didn't ask where it was.

He held the flowers and searched for the address given by Tan Yan for a long time before finally seeing the gray building.

Tan Yan told Wu Qiao that it was white, but in fact, after many years of wind and sun, it has become gray.

It was Tan Yan who opened the door.

Wu Qiao hesitated, shook the flowers and asked, "Can you take it in?"

"Huh?" Tan Yan looked at it, and was taken aback again.

"I..." Wu Qiao looked into the other person's eyes, "I want to give it to you."

"Send me?" Tan Yan didn't seem to expect that he would receive flowers from others. This kind of thing...none at all.

"Yeah." Wu Qiao was calm.

Tan Yan smiled, reached out to take the bouquet, and asked, "Then what should I do now?"

"..." Wu Qiao recalled the guidebook and said, "Sniff lightly and said, the flowers are really beautiful."

It should be like this... right?

Tan Yan chuckled again, as Wu Qiao said, placing the flower on the tip of his nose, then raised his head again, and looked at Wu Qiao's voice in a deep and **** voice: "The flowers are really beautiful."

"..." Although it's not bad, Wu Qiao just feels that it's not the same as what the book says...

Tan Yan put down the flowers and said to Wu Qiao, "Come in."

"Oh."

He took off his shoes and walked into the room, and was surprised to see a person sitting on the sofa.

This person seems to be...

The man saw the big handful of roses on Tan Yan's chest, first he had a meal, and then he laughed and laughed, "This is really...makes me less sad and angry!"

Wu Qiao: "..."

"Let me introduce it." Tan Yan pointed to Wu Qiao, "This is Wu Qiao-just like you think."

After speaking, he pointed to the person on the sofa: "This...is Kevin."

Wu Qiao: "...!!!"

really!

Just now, he thought that looks like Kevin!

When Kevin saw Wu Qiao, he laughed again: "You have worked hard with this guy."

"No." Wu Qiao said, "It's not hard...I'm very happy."

"It's your words..." Kevin glanced at the flower that Tan Yan put on the table. "Maybe it might really make him surrender."

"..."

"That's it." Tan Yan explained to Wu Qiao, "Kevin... will leave the capital tomorrow and stay away from politics from now on. He intends to leave early tomorrow morning. Today I'm here to say goodbye to him."

"Yes, yes." Kevin also echoed, "I plan to go back to raise chickens and sell eggs. The chicken cages are all set up. I have about 20 or so?"

Tan Yan shook his head. He knew that if Kevin was really needed, he would still return to the capital.

"Wu Qiao." Over there, Kevin looked at Wu Qiao and suddenly said, "I know you."

"Ok?"

"I didn't know it from Tan Yan, but someone else mentioned you."

"Mentioned... me?"

"Yes." Kevin nodded, "Said that you want to become a soldier very persistently. Even if you were judged to be useless by the military academy, you did not give up your original ideals."

"..."

"Wu Qiao," Kevin asked again, "I really want to ask you... Why do you want to be an imperial soldier?"

"Huh?" Wu Qiao stayed for a while, and then replied, "As an imperial soldier, repulse the Republic, let the empire return to peace, and make the people happy."

Kevin chuckled: "Then I will ask you again, if one day, your first sentence and the next few sentences are contradictory?"

"What do you mean?" Wu Qiao really didn't understand.

"That is, if, as an imperial soldier, you can't achieve your goal...under the leadership of the emperor, you can't drive away the Republic, what will you do then? Where do you go? Continue to be an imperial soldier, or choose another path, such as reform or even revolution?"

"..." Wu Qiao opened his eyes wide and looked at each other stupidly.

After a while, he said: "I...I never thought about this problem."

"Haha, it's normal not to think about it." Kevin took a sip of water, "I hope you never think about it."

After a pause, he shook his head, "But maybe, one day, all you have to think about—note that it's just "maybe". I didn't say this because of my own experience, but because of many things you probably haven't heard of. thing."

"..." From Wu Qiao's point of view, everything is fine. Although the emperor was somewhat arbitrary, it wasn't considered mediocre. The imperial government is very efficient, acting according to the emperor’s orders, and will not quarrel for a long time like neighboring countries.

However, he did not speak.

"Kevin!" Tan Yan's voice was angry, "Don't be bullshit."

"Oh?"

Tan Yan's words contained disapproval: "Then the situation will only get worse! Now that foreign enemies are invading, we must gather together, and what we need to do is to resist with all our strength."

"..." Kevin said nothing.

His eyes rolled over Tan Yan and Wu Qiao: "I said, you two... in the future... shouldn't..."
