[Interstellar] The king who doesn't want to return

Tang Rui returned home, changed out of his military uniform, took a shower, and saw the communicator flashing on the coffee table when he came out.

"Xiao Zhou, miss me?" Tang Rui opened the communication with a smile while buttoning his button.

Zhou Yuze on the screen pursed his lips and did not speak, and there was a hint of grievance in his eyes.

"Say it." Tang Rui sat down and tapped his lips with his finger across the screen.

"En." Zhou Yuze responded.

"Hehe..." Tang Rui chuckled, poured himself a glass of water, and said leisurely, "I won't trouble you tonight, sleep well and be obedient."

"Hmm..." Zhou Yuze lowered his eyes slightly.

"Okay, I'm going to sleep. I will go to the military headquarters tomorrow morning and come back. You can change the regular training to the morning." Tang Rui said.

"Okay." Zhou Yuze smiled a little.

"Why, are you afraid that I won't come back?" Tang Rui raised his eyebrows.

"Senior doesn't like the army." Zhou Yuze said after a moment of silence.

"Xiao Zhou." Tang Rui was stunned for a moment before laughing, "You really hold grudges."

"It's not." Zhou Yuze turned his eyes away.

"Well, I don't like the army." Tang Rui leaned back, put his right hand on the back of the sofa, crossed his legs, and the expression on his face became a little serious. After a while, he said slowly, "Once upon a time, I lost the most important people in my life in the military, so I don't want to go back to that place."

"Senior, I'm sorry." Zhou Yuze lowered his head, suddenly feeling a little sad.

It's because of me that I let him go back to this place he doesn't like very much...

"Don't think too much, it's my own wish." Tang Rui took the communicator on the coffee table, put it on his lap, brushed his fingers lightly over the handsome face on the screen, and smiled again, "Xiao Zhou , no one in this world can force me to do something I don't want to do, so don't be burdened, or... you should be proud, shouldn't you?"

"Senior..." Zhou Yuze's face slowly turned red.

"Okay, sleep well, don't kick the quilt, and..." Tang Rui said, his face suddenly became serious, "Don't hug things casually!"

"I don't." Zhou Yuze was speechless.

"Good night." Tang Rui smiled softly and turned off the communicator.

"..." Zhou Yuze on the other side paused for a while facing the closed screen before softly saying, "Good night, senior."

That night, apart from the intelligence department, Capital Star was very peaceful.

Early the next morning, Tang Rui got up refreshed, opened the closet, and couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth.

That guy, when did he hang so many military uniforms in his closet?You can tell at a glance that there are two people's sizes.

Dismissing the idea of ​​wearing plain clothes, he pondered for a while, and opened the bottom drawer of the closet with a combination lock. There were two sets of military uniforms lying quietly in it, pressed by a sandalwood box.Although the clothes were in good condition, they looked a bit old after all, especially the white one, the fabric was slightly yellowed.

Tang Rui took out the white mechanical battalion uniform and shook it. Fortunately, it was not very obvious.

"This should be the last time." He smiled, took off his pajamas, put on the military uniform a few times, and took out the military rank badge in the corner of the drawer to buckle it on his shoulder.

When he went out, he only sent a text message to Zuo Shaobai, the content of the text was very simple: Help me complete the formalities for reinstatement.

Perhaps, the previous self had been hesitating all the time, but he didn't know what he was hesitating about. However, Zhou Yuze's words last night seemed to clear away the clouds and mists in the sky, making him suddenly understand.

It turned out that what he cared about was always Zhou Yuze's thoughts.And that exquisite young man actually understands himself better than anyone else.

When he walked out of District E, Tang Rui looked back at the familiar desolate street behind him, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional. It seems that he really lived here not long ago.But... there are still a lot of troubles to move out... Well, anyway, Zuo Shaobai who wants him to return to service will arrange it.

He stopped a self-driving car and came to the gate of the military. The soldiers guarding the gate saluted him and let him go.

"It's so fast..." Tang Rui curled his lips, and before going to the logistics department, he took a detour and went to the intelligence department first.

"Kuu—" When he put his hands in his trouser pockets and kicked open the door more roguely than a rogue, Zuo Shaobai, who was arranging tasks for his subordinates inside, had pulsating veins on his forehead, and he almost wanted to jump out and kill people.

"Why didn't the guards outside report?" A colonel across the desk turned his head, obviously dissatisfied.

"Forget it." Zuo Shaobai took a deep breath, regained his composure, and waved his hands boredly.

His bodyguard is an old confidant who has been with him for many years, and he handles many private moments, so why would he stop Tang Rui?Not to mention that he had to go through the reinstatement procedures early this morning, so he should have expected that this person would come to kick the door.

"But the major general..."

"Hey, isn't this Colonel Lou? By the way, I wonder if your house is solid?" Tang Rui greeted.

"You..." Lou Zhengming was so angry that the flesh on his cheeks was shaking constantly, "I am your Shangguan!"

Could it be that I have been down here for many years and I am not used to the atmosphere of Capital Star?What kind of soldier is this?

"By the way, I forgot to mention." Zuo Shaobai opened the drawer, took out a badge and threw it there like a trash, "Your new badge, take it for a change."

"Huh?" Tang Rui pinched the badge and looked carefully for a while before saying, "Why is it a brigadier general again?"

"Go to the chairman if you have any opinions." Zuo Shaobai snorted coldly, "Don't return it to me."

"Yes, why not?" Tang Rui thought for a while, and immediately took off the lieutenant colonel badge on his shoulder and replaced it with a new one, then squinted at Lou Zhengming, hooked his fingers, and said with a smile, "Come on, call 'sir' Listen."

"..." Colonel Lou trembled with anger.

"A general-level officer can form his own guard battalion, but you..." Zuo Shaobai snorted coldly, "Anyway, you are in charge of the two teams now, so you will use them as soon as possible, and you will issue orders directly after the transfer."

"Got it." Tang Rui waved his hand, and Shi Shiran went out.

"Okay, let's continue with the topic just now, the spy named Lu Chun hasn't found out yet?" Zuo Shaobai spread out the documents again, as if nothing happened just now.

"Major General, this..." Lou Zhengming turned around with a troubled expression on his face.

"Ah, what's more, that guy is a bastard, if you don't want to have a new son, you have to educate him on who not to mess with." Zuo Shaobai said.

"Which unit... is he in?" Lou Zhengming asked.

"Well... for the time being, it doesn't count for any unit." Zuo Shaobai shrugged, thought for a while, and decided to remind his subordinates. After all, this person's work efficiency is still very good, and it is not easy to replace him. There are two teams in charge, one is the first battalion led by Captain Lan Yao, the battalion commander of the Machinery Battalion, and the other...is the Chenxi team under General Mo, if you don’t want to go home one day and see Zhou Major’s blizzard, cough cough..."

The corners of Lou Zhengming's mouth twitched as he listened.

Zuo Shaobai leisurely turned the pen in his hand, but a smile flashed in his eyes.

That military uniform... Being able to wear it out should mean that he has already walked out of the shadow of the past, right?As for the remaining half, um... Although the old foxes above are tacitly aware of it, they have to find a way.Maybe...you still have to rely on Zhou Yuze?

On the other side, Tang Rui hummed a song, took the elevator downstairs, passed the connecting bridge between the two buildings, and came to the logistics department.

If he had come yesterday afternoon, He Qin, the head of the logistics department, would have been really embarrassed. After all, Tang Rui's status was neither awkward nor awkward, and the things he wanted were so sensitive.But overnight, the person in front of him was already a general, even higher than himself, a colonel, what else could he say?So...it really became a formality.

Walking out of the military headquarters, Tang Rui took a deep breath, and then smiled.

That's not bad. When this war is over, I will retire with Zhou Yuze.

"Brigadier General Tang, please get in the car." The driver of the car sent by the military department was more polite this time, and the shiny general rank was no joke.

A brigadier general, even if he has just stepped into the threshold of general level, he can still be called a "general".

The number of officers below the colonel of the Federation is countless, but there are always only a few hundred generals, and they are distributed throughout the Federation, and even fewer stay in the capital.

Because things in the logistics department went very smoothly, it was not yet noon when Tang Rui returned to the training base.

As soon as they walked into the training ground, everyone paused for a moment, then quickly put down what they were doing and lined up on both sides.

"Why what?" Tang Rui was taken aback and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Senior." Zhou Yuze stepped forward.

"The transfer order has arrived?" Tang Rui thought for a while.

"En." Zhou Yuze nodded.

"I told you, what should you do, go, go." Tang Rui raised his hand, chasing people away like flies.

Zuo Shaobai meant to let him "make do with it", but these two troops... Although the number of guard battalions is nearly half that of the normal ones, but in terms of combat effectiveness, a hundred guard battalions can't keep up, okay?The guards are ordinary soldiers, you let a living person fight with a mech with a gun?

"Your rank..." Feng Lang looked at his epaulets with doubts on his face.

You must know that Tang Rui was a lieutenant colonel before retiring. Even if he is reinstated, his rank will not change. If it is because of his previous meritorious service on earth, he can skip the colonel and become a brigadier general directly. This reward is too much, which is very uncomfortable. normal.

"Do you want to check if it's real or not?" Tang Rui rolled his eyes.

Feng Lang was speechless, how could there be a fake after the transfer order came down, it's just that the military department's measures are really weird, I hope it's not a bad thing.

"It's really long-winded, as expected of Nanny Feng." Tang Rui muttered.

"What did you say?" Feng Lang's face turned dark all of a sudden.

"Could it be that you're too old to be deaf? Mother Feng." Tang Rui winked at him with a smile.

"I really cut you off." After he said it twice, Feng Lang immediately exploded.

"Hey, hey, I'm your immediate boss." Tang Rui pulled Zhou Yuze over to block him.

"Senior..." Zhou Yuze pushed Feng Lang back one by one, then turned his head and said, "Speaking of which, senior is now a general, shouldn't he have an adjutant?"

"Huh?" Tang Rui was taken aback for a moment, then his face darkened.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Yuze immediately remembered the man in the bar with prosthetic eyes, that was... Senior's former adjutant, right?

"Let's talk about it." Tang Rui curled his lips and said indifferently, "Maybe that guy will send me one. Compared with that, I have to check your review results."

Feng Lang watched them leave hand in hand, his eyes widened.

If there is a background at this time, it must be the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, and it is desolate and desolate.
