Veteran

The warm moment of the long-lost reunion didn't last long, and was interrupted by a hasty knock on the door. Cao Tong stood up and opened the door, and saw the deputy of the No.11 army commander discussing with Yuan Ke.

Cao Yu made a gesture to close the door: "Can you chat for a while?"

The deputy said: "The head of the legion wants to see the general."

Cao Yu said, "He can come here and line up."

The deputy froze for a moment.After joining the No.11 Legion, Cao Yu has always been very low-key, just like when he greets the general, he obediently ranks at the back, keeping out of the limelight and not stealing the limelight. He didn't expect to become so sharp all of a sudden.He frowned and said, "The legion commander is in the reception room..."

Cao Yu smiled and said: "It will take about ten minutes to come here, you can help him take a seat first."

He was about to close the door, but was blocked by his deputy: "Lieutenant Colonel Cao, there is something I want to say to the general." His expression was very serious, with a hint of threat.

Cao Yu stood up slightly, and was about to answer when his shoulders were caught from behind.

Cheng Xiu smiled and said, "Where is the head of the army? Lead the way."

The corner of the deputy's mouth turned up slightly mockingly, and he made a respectful gesture of invitation, and then walked forward with his head held high.

Cao Yu grabbed Cheng Xiu and said in a low voice, "Don't go too far."

Cheng Xiu said, "Me? How is it possible."

Cao Yu was still worried: "He is too old to stand up."

"Is it as old as me?"

"..." Cao Yu had no choice but to say, "He hasn't experienced any storms in his life."

Cheng Xiu said, "That's such a pity. Come on, let me make up for his regret."

Cao Yu silently prayed in his heart for the commander of the army 10 minutes later.

On his own territory, the legion commander is full of confidence, and his gestures will inevitably show a bit of arrogance.When Cheng Xiu came in, he clearly saw it, but he still sat for a while, and stood up to say hello when someone approached.

"Admiral..."

Cheng Xiu picked up the small cabinet at hand and smashed it directly on the coffee table between the two of them.

The coffee table collapsed.

The guard of the regiment commander was startled, and was about to step forward, when he heard Cheng Xiu yell "Stand at attention", and subconsciously stopped his legs.

Cheng Xiu kicked the legion commander's calf: "Aren't you born with spiral legs and can't stand straight?"

The regiment leader reacted from the accident, his face was flushed red, and his eyes were fixed on Cheng Xiu.

Cheng Xiu said: "What rank? Major general? Lieutenant general? Anyway, he can't be a general. Even if he is a general, he can't be a seven-star general anyway? How many military achievements have he made? Anyway, he can't be more than me. This year How old are you, anyway, it’s impossible to be older than me, right? Apart from having a prematurely decrepit face, what else do you have that you can talk about in front of me?”

The legion commander was so angry that he couldn't control his body and trembled, and the guards behind him were worried for a while, fearing that he would pass out if he couldn't hold on.

Cheng Xiu said: "I will only allow my subordinates to ask me to meet them under one circumstance. It is their funeral. Otherwise, they will crawl in front of me with a lame leg!"

Finally, the head of the legion couldn't hold back, and let out an angry growl in his throat: "Is the feats piled up with bones worth showing off? Take conquest as a pleasure, trample on other people's homes, plunder other people's wealth, and still be complacent, your shame Where's the heart? Where's the conscience?"

"Take conquest as a pleasure, trample on other people's homes, and plunder other people's wealth?" Cheng Xiu repeated his words softly, with a meaningful smile on his face, "You are right. When someone else first drives mechas to invade my country , when others take the lead in using weapons to hurt my compatriots, I will stand on the mech, pick up the weapon, run over their homes, step over their corpses, until they have no spare power to attack my home, Threat to my country, my people. If that's what you mean by 'joy of conquest,' I admit it, that's who I am."

"But what about those civilians? They are innocent!"

"Life is equal, but in my mind, there is a priority. The people of the star country are the first priority, the soldiers of the star country are the second priority, the civilians of the enemy country are the third, and the soldiers of the enemy country are the fourth. I am a seven-star general, but There is a seven-star general with the prefix "Interstellar United States". My rights and obligations come from the government and people of the star country. You can't ask me to serve the whole world when I am fighting. I am not omniscient. If I Omniscient and omnipotent, there is no war in this world, there is no need for jobs, everyone just stays at home and waits to die, live an idiot, and die with honor.”

The army commander's eloquence was obviously not as good as Cheng Xiu's, his tongue was full of words, and he couldn't utter a word because of the traffic jam.

His deputy couldn't stand it anymore and reached out to help.

"Are you 'standing at attention', or are you a temporary worker who just became a full-time worker? You can't even stand in a basic posture, and you bought it with a military rank?" Cheng Xiu was originally mocking, but she hit it right.

The head of the legion was blushing purple, he pushed away the support of his deputy, and stood up straight with his head held high.

Cheng Xiu said: "The main ship of the No.11 Legion is tentatively designated as the temporary headquarters of the rescue operation for the president. I will set up a strategy room and wait for other aid troops to arrive before..."

"Forgive me for not following my orders." The legion commander interrupted him rudely.

Cheng Xiu was not surprised.After two short conversations, he probably already figured out the character of this legion commander. Because he hadn't been on the battlefield much, he was full of inappropriate innocence at an old age.As long as a veteran who often goes to the battlefield, no matter how he hates the flames of war, his words will never be as "ignorant of world affairs" as he is.

Cheng Xiu looked at him and said with a half-smile, "Oh, you object."

The head of the legion said: "The seven-star general is just your rank, not your job! You have no right to mobilize the army, let alone form an army."

This is the most embarrassing part of Cheng Xiu's identity.He has the highest military rank, but no real power.But embarrassing status does not mean Cheng Xiu is embarrassing.He said: "Now I confirm that you came through the back door. You should really take a good look at the "Army Management Law", "Interim Regulations on Deepening Military Reform", and "Army Construction Outline"..." He reported more than a dozen troops in one go Not to mention the legion commander was stunned, even his deputy who had been engaged in civilian work for a long time felt that he was ignorant.

This time without Cheng Xiu's sarcasm, the head of the legion would lose his face.He said stiffly: "I will not accept any orders from others until I have received the resolution passed by the Military Council."

The conversation broke up badly.

After the army commander left with his people, Cheng Xiu poured himself a cup of tea in the reception room and sat for a while.

Cao Yu said, "What are your plans for the next step?"

Cheng Xiu said: "Looking at you, I feel that I am not a polished commander."

Cao Yu said: "Look at me, you are not only a bachelor commander, but also a bachelor."

Cheng Xiu was amazed at his selling technology anytime and anywhere like no one else: "What's the use of pleasing me, can't you please that annoying old man?"

Cao Yu refused: "Who said it's useless to please you."

"Because I already like you very much." Cheng Xiu said slowly, with a serious expression as if he was talking about state affairs.

Cao Yu was slightly stunned, and when he realized it, Cheng Xiu had already walked away with his hands behind his back.He hurriedly chased after him without saying a word, but followed silently for a while, then stretched out his hand and touched Cheng Xiu's hand quietly.

Cheng Xiu said, "I'm hungry, where can I get something to eat?"

"my room."

"..."

It's not really a lie, because there is a meal delivery service.

Cheng Xiu sat cross-legged on the sofa, mouth watering from eating.

Cao Yu ate a little with him, and most of the time he helped to pick up the food.

"Did you install spies?" After eating and drinking, Cheng Xiu finally returned to normal thinking.

Cao Yu put down his chopsticks: "Do you still remember the list Jiang Xianglan left?"

Cheng Xiu said: "The only evidence that can prove the significance of Jiang Xianglan's existence. But, aren't those people missing?" A group of people pretended to launch a terrorist attack in the new Maha galaxy to divert their attention.But then the terrorist attack became a fake, and the group disappeared.

"I received a last-minute message from one of them. They were reported before they acted," Cao Huang said.

Cheng Xiu said, "How did you find out?"

Cao Huang said: "The ones who reported them were two children who often went to their room to ask for food. One was six years old and the other was seven. Their parents were just very ordinary salesmen."
