Dawn Sleep

"..."

Cold sweat rolled down Staff Officer Duke's nose, and he saw the eyes of the young man in front of him... always calm and deep eyes.

He realized that he was wrong, this young master did not seem to be easy to handle, but a sharp sword that was thirsty for blood, a black fox that was dormant and waiting for its prey... Maybe from the moment the group meeting was held , this kid is waiting for an opportunity to show his prestige, and he is the rabbit who took the initiative to bump into the muzzle of the gun, the chicken who killed the chicken to scare the monkey!

"Please answer me." Jiang Jianming stood in front of him.

Staff Officer Duke's Adam's apple squirmed, and the beads of sweat on his forehead became denser and thicker.

He bowed his head unwillingly and said, "No."

"very good."

Jiang Jianming knocked on the table with his index finger, and said lightly: "It is the bounden duty of a soldier to obey orders - go back and copy this sentence twenty times, and leave it to me tomorrow."

"Copy...!?" Staff Officer Duke suddenly raised his face, almost popping his eyes out.

Copy it twenty times! ?

He wanted to doubt his ears, which school did this kid just bring the kid out of? ?

There were a few murmurs of laughter in the meeting room.

Lieutenant General Luther coughed hard, and the surroundings fell silent.

"Your Excellency the Inspector, I have heard the Commander-in-Chief mentioning you."

The veteran stood up and glanced at Jiang Jianming solemnly, "The commander-in-chief said that you are someone who was appreciated by the former crown prince. I am very curious."

"It is said that you were good at tactics and strategy when you were in the military academy... There is a simulated confrontation machine in the building of Jinrilun, how about a game with me?"

Old Lieutenant General Luther pointed to the Jinrilun military badge on his chest, "You don't need to win against me, as long as you persist for 10 minutes, all Jinrilun officers will recognize your ability."

Jiang Jianming lowered his head and smiled.

"I'm sorry, but I'm very moved by this chance to be instructed by the general, but I can't accept this challenge at this moment."

There was a sigh in the meeting room.

Old Lieutenant General Luther frowned: "Why."

"Because I judge that this game will be of no use."

"Old general, I am here to monitor Jin Rilun's internal military discipline, not to be your battlefield commander. If I lose, I will lose my prestige, which will not be conducive to my next operations."

"And if you lose," Jiang Jianming said calmly, his eyes sinking, "you will be the one who loses prestige. After I finish my business and leave Jinrilun... Lieutenant General Luther, May I ask how else you can do it?"

"You!" A lieutenant general was furious and jumped up against the crime.

"——Please understand one thing." Jiang Jianming looked slightly cold, raised his hand and pressed it, and for a while, he was so shocked that the other party dared not speak out.

"It's not that I intend to intervene in your affairs, but that there is a lesion in Jinrilun that you can't clean up by yourself, so I am here to help you solve the problem."

"During my tenure, my power was higher than anyone else. If you are not convinced, please go directly to the old marshal to appeal for grievances."

"..." Lieutenant General Luther's face was a little ugly, and he winked at the lieutenant general, and the two of them shut up and sat down together.

Jiang Jianming: "Anyone else have any questions?"

It was quiet, and some of the sloppy officers reluctantly lowered their heads, and no one made any provocative words.

After a while, the old General Luther's face twitched, he slowly put his hands on his chest, and lowered his head: "...All the officers and soldiers of the Jinrilun branch stationed in Aslan, obey the orders of His Excellency the Inspector."

"Thank you." Jiang Jianming nodded, his brows and eyes stretched gently, and the cold aura that suppressed the audience just now disappeared in an instant.

He walked back to the stage again, looked around, and said unhurriedly, "Now... let me get to know the person first. Please, everyone, please introduce yourself for one minute."

……

By the time this group of people came out of the meeting room one after another, it was already past meal time.

The officers were so hungry that their chests were stuck to their backs, and their eyes were dull, as if they had endured a cruel mental torture.

"Damn it, this guy actually asked me to introduce himself—"

Finally, one of the generals broke down and roared out, his face full of doubts about the whole world, "Since I was admitted by Jin Rilun 20 years ago, no one dared to ask me to introduce myself! "

The person next to him said dumbfoundedly: "I remembered, this inspector is the one who attended the banquet of Lord Lance a few days ago."

"Pfft, that scene, no one who has seen it will forget it."

"It's really a powerful character? The commander-in-chief sent such a person here. Could it be that there are really... moths in Jinrilun?"

"However," the corners of the mouth of a dark-skinned middle-aged man twitched, it was the lieutenant general who was angry and slapped him halfway, "I think this kid is not normal."

"Everyone thinks that no matter how powerful his interim inspector is, he will only take up the post 'temporarily', and he will have to leave one day. But this kid actually doesn't save face in the face of Lieutenant General Luther. Isn't he afraid..."

The lieutenant general glanced around and lowered his voice, "Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to work in the army in the future?"

A group of people were walking like this talking, suddenly, there was a sound of messy footsteps ahead!

"You... who are you talking about!?"

The one who rushed up was a young man with a pale face, who was it if he wasn't the youngest of Brandon's family?

Brandon's eyes were bloodshot, and the muscles on his face twitched: "Who is the inspector sent from above?"

Several generals looked at each other, each frowning, turning their faces.

Apparently, they didn't have a good impression of this dude who was not a high-ranking man but relied on his family background to be arrogant in the army, but it was inconvenient for them to reprimand him bluntly.

Staff Officer Duke squeezed out from the crowd and pouted at Brandon with a gloomy expression: "Master Brandon, don't be rude in front of the officers."

Brandon's eyes flashed, "Consultant Duke, I..."

A few seconds later, he obviously realized something, shut up and bowed, and backed away.

Soon, the officers also waved away, some went to the elevator to return to their posts, some rushed to eat, and some went home after a day of duty.

There are many people, footsteps and conversations are intertwined.

No one realized that Staff Officer Duke was holding on to the electronic glasses, and the direction of departure was not any of the elevators, cafeterias or gates, but the corner where Young Master Brandon walked.

That afternoon, news of the new interim supervisor spread like wildfire inside Jin Rilun.

At the same time, Inspector Jiang himself, who had "educated" the senior officers of Jin Rilun, naturally moved out of the dormitory of the military academy and lived in the dormitory assigned by the Jin Rilun military.

"Since the batch of real crystal mines were delivered to the empire, all the data of Jinrilun's starship base in Aslan are here?"

In the evening, Jiang Jianming sat at the desk that had been newly rationed.The virtual screen in front of him was magnified to a size of about forty inches, and more than a dozen small windows were neatly squeezed into it.

The window placed in the upper right corner is a video dialogue with Zheng Yue, and the other side is talking quickly: "It's all here, my lord. In addition to the data of the starship base, I also investigated the information of the civilian starship port. In addition to the largest Beluga Starport in the region, there are two civilian starship ports in Aslan, and no abnormalities were found either."

"This data is too much, so I didn't send it to you."

Zheng Yue pinched the military cap hesitantly, "If you want to check it again..."

"No need." Jiang Jianming rubbed his temple with his index finger thoughtfully, "Of course you are more familiar with these starship data than I am. Since it's something you don't think is abnormal, even if you give it to me, I can't see what it is. , you are the mastermind."

Zheng Yue's heart warmed up: "Yes...!"

Life is so miraculous, if someone told him a week ago that a young man in his twenties would give him a sense of pride of being trusted, Zheng Yue would definitely laugh back on the spot.

But at this moment, Zheng Yue only felt full of energy, and immediately straightened his back.

"Your Excellency, I also sent someone to investigate other open areas in Aslan Star City where starships can land, but it took two days to receive it."

But just after he finished speaking, he himself smiled wryly and shook his head, "Hey, but judging from this posture, I don't have much hope."

"Hmm..." Jiang Jianming was silent, his eyes sometimes bright and sometimes dark.

A starship... that is an imperial military starship, not a single person or a wild dog, it is absolutely impossible to disappear out of thin air.

But now I can't find the record.

Where can it go?

Zheng Yue: "Look, should we start from Duke?"

"Wait a little longer. If you can't get conclusive evidence, it will be inconvenient to do anything. Maybe you will be bitten back and slandered."

After Jiang Jianming finished speaking, he frowned and thought to himself: At this point, the other party may not only use power and money, but also some shady tricks.

If you want to find out things quickly, you may have to think outside the box.

"Let's do this, Old Zheng."

Jiang Jianming closed his eyes and exhaled lightly, then stood up, "First, contact the airport in Star City of Albion to see if the starship has returned on time."

"It's not early today. After you check it, send me the result, and then go to bed first."

"Yes!" Zheng Yue saluted.

After a few seconds, the communication window went dark.

Jiang Jianming was still sitting in front of the table, he didn't look at the data on the screen, he was just in a daze.

His physical strength was not good at first, although the current work intensity is far less than that of Yinbeidou mecha, but the busyness and high concentration of the whole day are real.

When the feeling of fatigue rushed up, I really wanted to roll into bed and collapse into mud, close my eyes and talk about everything tomorrow.

After about 5 minutes, Jiang Jianming stood up and made himself a cup of coffee, casually loosened the collar of the military uniform, and sat back in front of the chair.

...It's a pity that there is no time to relax, and there is still work to be done.

Time passed minute by minute as the night grew thicker, and the first district of Aslan Star City was lit up with a cool breeze.

In the middle of the night, the lighted windows were darkened.

At three o'clock in the morning, the streets were silent.Only one window of Jin Rilun's senior officer's dormitory was still lit.

until a certain moment...

There was a sound of sand, and someone jumped down from the roof without a sound, climbing on the window with one hand, and stepped on the narrow window sill with his boots.

Boom!

The palm of the hand slapped the window pane quickly.

"--Who!?"

Jiang Jianming, who had fallen asleep at the table, woke up suddenly. In the middle of the night, someone smashed the window, and his heart almost jumped into his throat.

He turned around subconsciously, the palm of his right hand had already touched the holster around his waist——

Then stiff for a second, the whole person softened and fell back on the chair.

Facing the emerald eyes glowing faintly in the darkness outside the window, Jiang Jianming couldn't laugh or cry: "Your Highness! Why are you knocking on my window in the middle of the night?"

"……you."

Garcia's face was cold, he stared straight at Jiang Jianming, and the corners of his lips were tense: "I told you not to go to the front line, so you entered the Golden Sun Wheel?"

After he said this, his expression became even uglier.

But it seems that he also knows that he has no position to interfere with Jiang Jianming's affairs, and he can't say more.

"I was originally a military cadet, Your Highness."

Jiang Jianming walked to the window, and put his index finger on the opposite side of Garcia's palm intentionally or unintentionally. The body temperature of the two was only separated by a layer of glass.

"Being able to enter the Golden Sun Wheel is a great honor for military students in most empires."

"..."

A few seconds later, Garcia turned away coldly.

He kicked the window sill: "...open the window, here's something for you."

Jiang Jianming opened the window obediently.

But when the night wind came in, the hand he pushed open the window was suddenly caught by Garcia.

The prince grabbed his forearm and quickly put a silver bracelet on his wrist, the style was so familiar——

Jiang Jianming's eyelashes trembled.

"... Snowdove."

"Listen, although I will never fall in love with you like Ryan."

Garcia leisurely withdrew his hand and coughed lightly.

He turned sideways at the window, looking down at the sporadic street lights in the urban area, and said in a slow tone, "But..."

"Since the secret may involve myself, of course I also want to know."

Garcia said softly: "As long as you agree to that deal, we are allies."

It's better not to quarrel anymore, His Highness thought to himself bitterly.

He said a lot of things that night.That wasn't his original intention, he just wanted... to force Jiang Jianming to stop chasing like moths to a flame.

But some of the words are still too hurtful.

There was no sound for a long time.

Garcia glanced over quietly.

Jiang Jianming stood at the window in a daze, his eyes fainted.

"Mecha."

"Folding Mecha." He read twice.

This is it!

The next moment, Jiang Jianming made two steps in three steps, rushed back to the desk and opened the virtual screen!

A shivering sensation rushed up his spine, his breathing was slightly rapid, and he pursed his lips suddenly——

Why can't I find the starship landing record?

in case……

What if the starship never landed in the first place! ?

On the opposite side, Zheng Yue's communication was quickly connected.

"—Maybe it's a folding mech!"

Jiang Jianming's voice was tense, and he didn't even bother to explain the cause and effect: "As long as a large number of folding mechas are pre-loaded in the starship, and all the true crystal ore are transported down in batches in mid-air, we can avoid landing on the starship port! "

But something strange happened.

On the opposite side, Major Zheng Yue, who had always been very reliable, gradually showed a blank expression.

Translated in words, it means "Did I not wake up?" and "What kind of dream did I have?"

Behind him, someone stepped on the window floor lightly.

Garcia gritted his teeth and sneered: "Jiang, see, Ming—"

"……what."

Jiang Jianming blinked, only to feel light under his feet, and at the same time there was something around his waist...

He was directly... picked up by His Royal Highness's crystal bone.

"—Is this what you are busy with? Opposite is your new subordinate after Xie Yuduo?"

The crystal bone quickly closed, and Garcia grabbed him with both hands instead: "Jiang Jianming, it's your freedom to go to work, but it's three o'clock in the morning, do you think you have the physique to stay up late!?"

"Your Highness...Your Highness!" Jiang Jianming was startled, angry and amused, and stretched out his hand to block the communication camera, "You...you don't have any cover...!"

On the opposite side, Zheng Yue's eyes were blank.

He opened and closed his mouth, like a malfunctioning radio: "Huang Huang Huang Huang..."

The sneer in Garcia's eyes was even worse: "Why, am I so shameless? Whether you put on the cover or not, what position do you take care of me?"

Zheng Yue: "Lai, Lai... Dian Dian Dian... Dian Dian..."

Jiang Jianming: "You also know that it's the middle of the night, what should I do if my deputy is scared to death?? Wait, let me go—"

"..."

Zheng Yue stuttered for a long time, rolled his eyes——

"Don't get dizzy, don't get dizzy, let's get to work." Jiang Jianming didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and while pushing Garcia, he turned his head and said, "Go and check the air traffic monitoring for those few days, hurry up!"
