"Ah, you're hurt?" The girl said, pointing to Weiss's shoulder.

Injuries were a common occurrence for an officer like Weiss, who was always on the front lines of the battle, and he couldn't even remember how many scars he had left on his body since the start of the war. The girl was so surprised, but he didn't think so. There is a bullet in the shoulder of the uniform, because it is stained with blood, it hurts to look at, but in fact it is just a bullet scratching the skin, and it can heal on its own even if it is not treated in such weather.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a little bruise."

"However, you have promised that this operation will be carried out with complete certainty. I'm sure you can do it. Whatever the situation, please make sure everyone here is safe. ”

The hint of complaint could be heard in the girl's words, and Weiss was really a little embarrassed. The vast majority of operational action plans are perfect on paper, and it is only at the implementation stage that all sorts of unexpected situations are discovered, and the speculations are far from reality. Therefore, large number plans are full of holes in the end, and winning or losing depends on which side has fewer mistakes...... Objectively speaking, this operation led by the special services is full of imagination and is relatively reliable in the process of implementation. So far, at least, they have been able to keep their actions moving along the main line through constant corrections. Everything looks bad, and it's not too bad.

After a little deliberation, Weiss explained in a more literary way that he was not good at: "War is like a boxing match, and it is precisely because of its unpredictability that it is full of charm that many people are addicted to it. For those who love peace and desire peace, the uncertainty of war is like a beast hidden in the jungle, which will be avoided unless absolutely necessary. ”

The girl could understand this, but the little boy looked confused. Weiss gently pinched his pudding-like face: "Don't worry, it's okay, it'll be fine in two days." After tonight, we will be able to reach home and live a peaceful and happy life. ”

The little boy got up and gave way to the camp bed where he was sleeping: "I've rested enough, lie down for you!" ”

This immature but sensible voice made Weiss's once cold heart find a little comfort again. Although there is only a trace of it, it feels like life has a touch of color. This feeling has not appeared for a long time since I suddenly left my sister and traveled to this era alone. Here, whether it is the friendship with Nikolai, or the relationship with the Lord and his wife, Bella's sister, or even the complicated relationship with Ze, there is still a qualitative difference from the current feeling.

Weiss wanted to give up the bed to the girl, but the two of them snuggled up to each other and sat on one side, and they seemed to be in harmony. So he lay down, turned to the little boy, and said, "I make strange noises when I sleep, so don't laugh at me." ”

"Do you sleep and snort like my dad?" The little boy asked innocently.

"Ah...... There are similarities and differences, after all, everyone is not exactly the same individual. Our philosophy teacher should be able to explain this to you in detail. ”

The girl looked at Weiss and expressed her attitude to the suggestion in silence.

After only a few moments, Weiss fell asleep. In the dream, he seemed to hear Ze say to himself, seeing him is like seeing me, he is my continuation in this world. Please take good care of him for me, let him grow up carefree, and don't have too many burdens and greed.

Of course! Weiss replied in his dream that war has made us lose a lot, and only by forgetting the greed in our hearts can we better enjoy the beauty of life......

In the dream, he talked a lot with Ze, but in the blink of an eye, these were erased from his memory, and there was nothing left. I wandered in my sleep for a long time, and I wanted to wake up several times, but I was pulled back by that deep fatigue. When he finally woke up, he noticed that the light around him was a little different.

The girl was still there, and so was the little boy, but it was pitch black outside the porthole.

"It's dark?" Weiss asked in surprise.

"yes, you've been asleep for a long time." The girl replied.

"It's so funny to snore while sleeping." The little boy imitated it vividly.

It's getting dark...... Weiss sighed inwardly. It was dark, which meant that the transport ship had passed the most dangerous period. The enemy's pursuit during the day was ineffective, and at night, with Weiss's special abilities, it was much easier to evade the enemy's pursuit.

The chance of escaping from the enemy has suddenly increased from 20-30% during the day to 70-80% or more.

After sleeping for most of the afternoon, Weiss felt a lot more energetic. It's not at its best, but it should be enough to deal with what comes next. He got up, stretched his limbs, touched the little boy's head and asked, "Are you hungry?" ”

"We've already had dinner while you go to bed." The little boy looked up at him, counted them one by one, and said, "I ate two biscuits, a sausage, and a glass of sugar water." ”

Such a well-behaved appearance really makes people's hearts cute.

"Have you eaten enough?" Weiss couldn't help but smile.

"I'm full, but it's not as delicious as my mother's cooking." The little boy said with a serious face, "But it doesn't matter, I'm a man, and I can overcome all difficulties." ”

"You're amazing!" Weiss complimented. Then he said apologetically to the girl, "I have to leave for a while, and I have to trouble you to take care of him." ”

"It's okay." "I can't go anywhere anyway," said the girl, "and I have nothing else to do, and it is a pleasure to be with him." ”

When Weiss returned to the command room, Octavier and the Major were there. The Lieutenant seemed to be never tireless, and in fact, he and his crew did not hide in the valley to sleep when the Secret Service reconnoitred the enemy and eventually occupied the town and rescued the target.

Octavier, of course, did not blame Weiss for sleeping for hours in one breath and forgetting about the hour-long shift, quipping, "We were getting ready for dinner and you came, which was so timely." ”

For lunch that day, Weiss made do with the others at the gun position, eating biscuits, sausages, and hot tea. For dinner in the command room, canned meat and vegetable soup were added to the lunch. Plenty of meat would provide enough energy for the soldiers to keep them energized, and civilian characters trying to leave the Norman Empire wouldn't need to go into battle, so their "in-flight meals" were much simpler.

"I'm sorry, I'm so tired that I accidentally overslept." Weiss explained solemnly.

Octavir raised the corners of his mouth, and since the beginning of the operation, a rare smile appeared: "Yes, I know that every time you devote yourself to battle, the consumption of energy and physical strength is always greater than that of ordinary people. It's not a bad thing to rest longer and replenish more energy. I'd rather you be like you if you could. ”

Weiss modestly said that he just has better eyesight than ordinary people, and there is nothing special in other aspects, and deep down, he can proudly shout: Night is my home field, and next, it's up to me!

After a quick dinner, he climbed up to the observatory to observe. As planned, the Norman pursuers had been thrown off by them. This is the southern frontier of the Norman Empire, almost on the edge, and on this night without moonlight and starlight, it is not easy for the enemy to find a deliberately hidden transport ship in the vast mountains.

Weiss returned to the command room and asked the Major about the ship's remaining fuel, and learned that while the fuel available would not allow them to return to the Federation at full speed, it would be more than enough for a normal cruising speed or a low-speed cruise powered by diesel engines. Now, they stay in the valley and are replenished with some fresh water for boiler cooling, and they can start again.

Based on various considerations, Weiss's advice was to fly at a boiler-driven normal cruising speed if there were no enemy flying ships around, and switch to diesel-driven low-speed cruising if there was enemy activity nearby. In order to ensure as much concealment as possible, he thought that he should fly at a low altitude, so that it would be easier to avoid enemy searches.

"But it's a cloudy day tonight!" The major disagreed, "We can creep through the clouds. The clouds at night are just right to hide the smoke and dust we leave behind. Even if the enemy finds it, we can burrow into the clouds. If the weather had come earlier, we wouldn't have had to go around the enemy so much during the day. ”

When observing the environment just now, Weiss did notice the change in the weather. Thick clouds obscured the moonlight at night, and the sight of nature was pitch black. This is indeed a good time to escape from the Norman Empire, and it is a bit unreasonable if you can't grasp it.

In the technical and tactical field of aviation, the major was an expert, and the opinion of the "layman" was contrary to his assumptions, and he could have completely ignored it, but he did not do so, but paced back and forth in the command room. Both types of flying have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it can be said that neither one can beat the other, and it is necessary to choose one or the other according to different situations, or a combination of the two.

After thinking about it for a while, the major stopped and stared at Weiss very seriously: "If you fly at a low altitude, you will inevitably fly near villages and towns, and it seems that it is easier to arouse the vigilance of the enemy?" ”

"Supposedly flying at night, the average Norman could not distinguish between friend and foe, and was unlikely to notice that something was wrong. Unless, of course, the enemy informs towns, villages, and troops that an enemy transport is roaming the southern part of the empire...... With the current political and military situation in the Norman Empire, I don't think that is likely to happen, and they will definitely try their best to block the news to avoid causing riots and panic, so we don't have to worry about that. Weiss explained, and then he analyzed: "Although the clouds are very thick tonight, it is a good concealment, but the area we have to pass through is too vast, once the enemy waits in a place where there are no clouds, we are likely to be detected by the enemy because of the lack of advance preparation, and it will be difficult to hide at this time." ”

"Yes, you have a point. We can't just look at the clouds in front of us and assume that there is cloud cover from here to the Monamolin Mountains, which is something we can't predict. The Major seemed to have finally made up his mind, and he said to himself: "In this case, we will first fly at a low altitude, and if anything unusual happens, then climb into the clouds." ”

In a short time, the replenishment of water was completed, and the transport ship left the ground and flew eastward. The drinking water used by the crew and passengers is stored in special fresh water silos, and these temporary replenishment of fresh water is mainly used to cool the machine, and there is no need to verify its safety, as long as it is not corrosive.
