Dawn Sleep

5 minute later.

The black elevator stopped steadily on the second floor, and the green indicator light came on with a "ding" sound.

The young corporal led Jiang Jianming out: "Your Excellency, this way."

Jiang Jianming walked down the elevator, stepped on the passageway paved with alloy steel sheets in the fortress with military boots, and looked back.

The corporal smiled as he walked: "Is this the first time you come up from the first floor? I heard that you made a contribution to the unexpected incident a few days ago, and you must have the opportunity to come to the second floor often in the future."

He thought about it, and added: "Maybe even, there will be a chance to live here in a few years."

"Really? I would like to borrow your good words." Jiang Jianming gently bent the corner of his lips at the corporal, and followed him to the direction of the conference room.

The Yinbeidou Fortress has a total of four floors. The military area on the 1F is divided into four major areas: the dormitory area, the treatment area, the trading area, and the supply area. In addition, there are four mech hangars and two starship ports for the convenience of soldiers. Go out anytime.

2F, which is the floor where Jiang Jianming is now, is mainly equipped with senior dormitory areas, military aircraft meeting rooms, archives and databases.

In addition, many large-scale computers and precision instruments are located on this floor. Officers and soldiers below the school level, except for messengers, are not allowed to enter without permission.

The top 3F belongs to the non-military area, with the farming and animal husbandry area that mainly supplies food sources; the logistics area that handles water filtration, power supply, heating, and other miscellaneous tasks; the scientific research room that handles drug development, mecha repair, and new crystal weapon development... …

And the most important thing, the real crystal mine warehouse.The true crystal ore of the B-grade subspecies recovered by Jiang Jianming should be lying there now.

In addition to the three floors on the ground, the Yinbeidou Fortress also has -1F. Its other name is "Heroic Monument". The peaceful land commemorates the Yinbeidou heroes who died in the distant stars.

According to the positioning of the intelligent brain Seth Henry, the main body of the Leian Mecha should be placed somewhere in the underground Heroic Monument.

Jiang Jianming went through the plan he made yesterday in his mind again, and then he heard the corporal say, "Your Excellency, we are here."

When Jiang Jianming looked up, he saw meeting room 205 in front of him.

He thanked the little corporal, took a light breath, bent his index finger and middle finger and knocked on the door three times.

"Jiang Jianming, an officer in the adaptation period, was ordered to report."

Three seconds later, the white automatic door buzzed open.

The interior is open and bright, and the long table in the meeting room greets the sight, and four officers are sitting on the opposite side of the long table——

Lieutenant Colonel Huolin sat on the far left, still with a sullen face.On the right hand side of Huo Lin is a black and thin officer; next to him is a white and strong officer; on the far right seat is an officer with a beard.

The four eyes of the four with a sense of oppression all turned to Jiang Jianming who came in from the door.

The black and thin officer touched his chin and spoke first: "You are..."

As he spoke, he quickly looked around Jiang Jianming and narrowed his eyes.

This black-haired young man was thinner than he had imagined, and his facial features were very clean and elegant, maybe he could be said to be beautiful, but his skin was lacking in color, and it could be believed that he was sick all the year round.

Standing straight, it is a kind of tight and deliberate straightness. The military uniform on his body is too neat, obviously washed and ironed overnight, and it can be seen that... he is a little nervous.

After all, he was suddenly summoned to the second floor by so many officers. As an officer in the adaptation period, this behavior was quite normal.

But it's not like a capable person who can turn the tide in a dangerous situation and make great achievements.

Jiang Jianming saluted: "Hello, officers, I am... Jiang Jianming."

Several officers looked at each other without any trace, one frowned, one darkened, and the last shook his head slightly, each of them lost ten points of impression on this young man.

Before Jiang Jianming was formally summoned, they had been arguing for two days.

No one would want to suppress a new military officer who has done meritorious service for no reason, but Jiang Jianming is a disabled human being, and this is the place that cannot tolerate disabled human beings in the entire empire-Yuanxing Interstellar Silver Beidou Fortress.

What are the consequences of promoting a handicapped human being exceptionally?

After being promoted, what position should he be placed in? Who is willing to accept a disabled human being as his subordinate, and who is willing to accept a disabled human being as his immediate commander?

Who dares to send him to fight, and if he is killed in battle, whose responsibility is it?

If you can't play, can you stay in Yinbeidou as a display?

Too ridiculous, too many hidden dangers and uncertainties.

Argue, discuss, argue.

Finally decided to meet this extraordinary disabled human being in person before making the final decision.

In fact, if they hadn't watched the video of the mecha, it would have been amazing to see the young man's mecha level and adaptability on the battlefield; if Jiang Jianming's teammates hadn't insisted that this man was indeed extraordinary...

Maybe there won't even be a summons this time.

Only Huo Lin narrowed his eyes, thinking something was wrong.

This black-hearted brat seems to be planning to cheat again.

"Well...Jiang Jianming, right."

Bai Zhuang's middle-aged officer cleared his throat first, and narrowed his blue eyes.He leaned his upper body forward and crossed his index fingers into a tower: "We don't want to beat around the bush. You should know your own situation best."

"The few of us, including your immediate commander, Lieutenant Colonel Huo Lin, don't really want to give you military merit according to the previous rules. Now is your last chance."

The officer's tone was not very harsh, even very peaceful, but the words he said were not so friendly.

"I'll give you three and 10 minutes to convince a few of us to change our minds."

Hearing this, Jiang Jianming seemed startled for a moment, then lowered his eyebrows.

He hesitated for five or six seconds before whispering, "I..."

Several officers looked at each other without any trace.

The bearded officer scratched his nose and said, "Don't be nervous, maybe, you can start by explaining your own origin. Who gave you that special order chip?"

Jiang Jianming lowered his eyes, staring at the clean conference table in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Yes, that is a very honorable Your Excellency, I dare not mention his name."

"He gave me this chip more because of a personal relationship. I... my fiancé was killed in a distant star, and that Your Excellency was his teacher during his lifetime."

"...my father was a veteran of the conscript five years ago, and soon received the title of martyr. I have no other relatives."

"The original intention of that great lord was to let Yin Beidou take care of me and let me go to the rear department to work as a clerical worker. It's my heart that is hard to calm down. No matter what, I also want to come to the place where my father and husband died."

"Oh..." The brows of several officers loosened, and some sighs came from their mouths.

The eyes that looked at Jiang Jianming with cold scrutiny seemed to melt a lot.

"poor child."

"not easy."

They all nodded to each other.After hearing Jiang Jianming's life experience and explanations, at least the reason why this handicapped human being is in the distant star has become reasonable.

Jiang Jianming's eyes were dark, he quietly looked at the officers and thought to himself: He is not lying.

He hasn't even told a single lie so far, he is really a rare honest person.

As for the officers' inability to associate "fiancé" and "Your Excellency" with the crown prince and the old marshal... that must be the issue of the officers themselves.

So the black-haired young man raised his head, with a serious look on his face: "This time I was lucky enough to make a small contribution, but I dare not expect a promotion."

The black and thin officer was surprised: "Oh?"

"I know I'm a disabled human being. During the time I've been in Yinbeidou, I really feel...cough."

Jiang Jianming said, covered his lips and coughed lightly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I feel very difficult. Maybe the rules of this world are much more cruel than I imagined."

"..."

Huo Lin suddenly picked up the water glass and took two big gulps with a sullen face.

...Damn it!

Officer Bai Zhuang's expression became a bit more loving, and he said softly: "You have worked very hard, I can feel it... child, please accept my respect."

Jiang Jianming: "I heard that in Yinbeidou, there is a lot of freedom in meritorious deeds. Some people even choose to use real crystal mines to exchange coins..."

Hearing what he said, the three officers looked at each other, and rolled their eyes——

Obviously, they all thought that the young man in front of them was trying to lighten the atmosphere with a joke.

Handicapped human beings are willing to voluntarily give up their promotions, which makes them feel a big rock in their hearts.

Now things are easy to handle, the three chiefs laughed along with the joke, and the meeting room and outside were filled with a happy atmosphere.

Among them, the bearded officer laughed the loudest: "It's true, hahaha... But such a stupid money-grubber, I haven't seen him in the past ten years."

"..."

Huo Lin couldn't laugh at all, his forehead twitched, and he started drinking water again.

... Damn it, damn it, why am I here to watch this little bastard perform!

"Lieutenant Colonel Holling, what's the matter with you?"

Next to him, Officer Bai Zhuang looked at him with dissatisfaction: "Even if you don't like disabled humans, you brought this child up after all, and it won't be easy for him. Don't do that."

Ignoring the Lieutenant Colonel's instantly livid face, he turned to Jiang Jianming friendly: "So, what do you want to exchange for this merit?"

Jiang Jianming: "My fiancé's relics are in the Heroic Monument underground. I want...to inherit his relics."

Huo Lin coughed, and he said the first sentence since Jiang Jianming came in: "Removing the relics from the Heroic Monument requires the approval of Major General Xie, and we cannot promise you."

As soon as the words fell, the lieutenant colonel was startled: wait a minute, is it true that Jiang Jianming's original goal was the major general?

The bearded officer answered immediately: "Of course, we can apply for you—but we can only say that you chose to use this meritorious service in exchange for such an 'opportunity to apply'. If the major general disagrees, there is nothing we can do."

Jiang Jianming nodded immediately: "Yes, I accept all the results."

Immediately, the expressions of the three officers became clearer.

They didn't expect that this disabled person could be dismissed so easily, and they looked at Jiang Jianming with loving eyes, just like looking at their own son.

Good boy, what a good boy!

Officer Bai Zhuang narrowed his eyes: "This is the condition you put forward, son, don't say that we bully you and suppress your achievements in the future."

Jiang Jianming quickly raised his eyes and said sincerely: "How is it possible!"

"Okay, come with us."

……

"What the hell do you want to do?"

On the way to Major General Xie's office, Huo Lin lowered his voice and asked Jiang Jianming.

"Lieutenant Colonel." Jiang Jianming chuckled, hiding his voice in the staggered footsteps of several people, "After all, you are my officer, I will not cheat you, please leave quickly."

As he spoke, he deliberately amplified his voice: "Lieutenant Colonel Huolin, don't you need to organize training today?"

The three officers in front turned their heads when they heard the sound, and one of them said, "Oh, that's right. Huo Lin, you should go back first."

The other person looked at Jiang Jianming lovingly: "He is really a good boy who is meticulous and caring."

Holly: "..."

He stared at Jiang Jianming with a complicated expression for a long while, saluted his farewell colleagues who were destined to be sad, and turned to go to the elevator leading to the first floor.

In front of the major general's office, the black and thin officer looked at Jiang Jianming's hands and nodded approvingly: "Well... you know how to wear gloves to cover up, that's good."

The bearded officer said: "Remember, the major general has a very strict temper. Don't talk nonsense after entering, and don't mention your achievements."

The black-haired young man seemed to be nervous again. He bit his lower lip for a while, and asked softly, "Then... after seeing Your Excellency the Major General, can I say sir?"

When the officers heard him say such naive words, they were immediately annoyed and funny: "Of course."

Jiang Jianming nodded: "Please don't worry, I only say 'Hello, sir'."

It is still a series of processes of knocking on the door, reporting, and opening the automatic door.

The office of the Supreme Commander of the fortress is spacious, and the major general's female aide-de-camp sits at a side table.

She stopped typing on the virtual keyboard and adjusted her glasses: "Come in, what's the matter?"

And Xie Yuduo was sitting at the desk by the window, still arrogantly crossing his legs, holding a teacup in one hand and a few paper documents in the other hand, tilting his head lazily and squinting his eyes.

Jiang Jianming stepped in calmly, stood at the door, and raised his hand in salute.

"Hello sir."

Xie Yuduo had just taken a sip of tea when he suddenly felt that the voice seemed familiar, so he lazily lifted his eyes from the edge of the document...

"puff--!!!"

Suddenly, a sip of tea was sprayed out by him!

"Little, little lord——!?"

In a second, Xie Yuduo's upturned legs also "swish" down, and his crooked back straightened "snap", and the cup that was almost knocked over by him was placed on the corner of the table with a "bang". Keep the files tight!

Under the terrified gaze of the female adjutant, Major General Xie jumped up with lightning speed!

He rushed to Jiang Jianming in three steps at a time: "My God, why did our Young Master Jiang come here?"

"Small... Major General!?"

The female adjutant's face became extremely frightened, as if she saw red rain falling from the sky.

She has been working beside the major general for almost three years. This one has an extremely rebellious temper. He can even quarrel with Marshal Chen. How could he ever be so attentive?

Also, he actually called this young man "Your Excellency"?

Many people don't know, but she knows.This Major General Xie himself is from a noble family, what kind of status does this person have to be honored by Major General Xie as His Excellency? ?

"What nonsense, Far Star is not a place for people to stay... Tsk, does the commander-in-chief know?"

Xie Yu Duoxu held Jiang Jianming's arm, his phoenix eyes were bent into crescent moons, and he said repeatedly in half-shocked and half-surprised voice: "Come in quickly, please sit down, sit down."

The major general raised his hand to lure Jiang Jianming in, and pushed him towards his chair, with a sincere smile on his face, talking one after another.

"Your Excellency suffered a lot on the way here, alas, I didn't know why, I will directly drive a starship to pick you up! By the way, is the purity and dosage of the tranquilizer enough? Is there any discomfort on your body?"

Jiang Jianming followed him two steps.

Thus, the staring eyeballs of the three officers behind him, the chins that were about to fall to the ground, and the three dead and green faces were revealed.

Xie Yuduo suddenly realized something was wrong.

He recalled it, and recalled it again, and then took a look at Jiang Jianming's silver Beidou military uniform, and found that it was not only "somewhat" wrong.

Xie Yuduo: "Master Jiang, you just said, what am I yours?"

Jiang Jianming lowered his head and said calmly, "Sir."

"..."

Major General Xie's smile froze, and his face was instantly greener than the three poor officers, greener than the green vegetables he had eaten at noon.

With a stiff smile, he said cautiously: "Is that what I understand? No, sir, are you joking?"

He wanted to cry again and said without tears: "No, no, no, so the crippled human beings in His Highness's words a few days ago—"

Jiang Jianming smiled and said nothing, his eyes clearly read: What do you think?

Xie Yuduo took a deep breath, the veins on his forehead throbbed.

"How about that," he gritted his teeth and sneered, pointing at the three stunned people at the door, "I... I'll let them get out first, and then we'll sit down and talk slowly, do you think it's okay?"

Jiang Jianming raised the corner of his lips, and a trace of success flashed in the depths of his eyes.

He finally walked over, opened the major general's chair and sat down, and said, "Okay."

The author has something to say: Jiang: I only want to say good things about the officer.
