The juice was brought to the barbecue meat that was roasted in the big bang and roasted so that the leaves were spitting, and there was meat in the whole body, which weighed a pound. The skin is charred and yellow, and the crisp skin is sprinkled with unknown herbs.

"It smells so good!" Ruan Xiaoqi's throat couldn't stop moving.

There was also a pile of fried golden potato strips on the plate. A few slices of lightly roasted tomatoes and a few water-fried green broccoli serve as a side dish. These vegetables are all "Australian dishes" that have only begun to appear in the past year, and they are only available in cooperative restaurants and commercial halls in addition to Australians' own canteens. The carefully blended barbecue gravy mixed with dripping grease flows across the plate, and the sight is appetizing.

The man took a double-pointed fork and a dinner knife, and quickly cut the meat into slices, each slice with skin, fat and lean.

"This barbecue is really good!" Ruan Xiaoer exclaimed, "Even the price is enough." ”

"It's rare anyway, and it's not like we can't afford it now." Ruan Xiaowu became an officer, and suddenly his momentum was very strong.

"I still have to leave a few to beg my wife."

The three brothers were talking, when suddenly there was a commotion outside the box, and the sound of footsteps and talking was chaotic

Then I heard the guy shouting in his voice: "Don't squeeze the guest officers, don't squeeze, please go back to eat and drink, this is the chief, don't watch." Don't be a spectator. ”

Just as he was wondering, there was a knock on the box door. Just as he was confused, he heard the guy say outside: "Chiefs, there is a chief who wants to see you." ”

The chiefs want to see, and the natives have no power not to see. So the guy just shouted, and the door opened. It was Pan Pan who came in from the outside.

Pan Pan was still carrying the ding, black box, holding a pen and a small notebook in his hands.

Xiao Wu, I'm here to continue the interview. As she spoke, she pulled out another letter of introduction. I've got permission from your brother's side. ”

The letter of introduction was stamped with the seal of the Naval Bopu Fortress District and the seal of the Military and Political School. Almost half of the letter of introduction was covered.

So the family banquet of the three brothers became Pan Pan's talk show, and the three of them were stiff and Pan Pan took turns digging up various questions, including what kind of woman they liked. Finally, after the interview ended, they were fiddled with and took several group photos before they were let go.

Finally, looking forward to the departure of the head of the foreign-haired children, the three brothers wiped the sweat from their heads and sat down.

"Good fellows! The smell of this foreign woman is so big! Ruan Xiaoer gasped and said, "There is a smell of incense and fragrance." ”

"How can this foreign woman become the chief?" The Ruan brothers are strange.

"It seems to be the wife of a chief, and she doesn't know it's a little wife. It seems that there are a lot of red-haired people in Australia. There are several red hairs in the chief. ”

"But they all seem to be foreign women."

"The tastes of the chiefs are really special." Ruan Xiaoer is a little older, and he already has some understanding of the affairs of men and women, and he talks about it with relish.

The reunion of the three brothers lasted until 8 p.m. The factory in the Bairen Industrial Zone will not leave until the whistle blows in the evening, and the ox cart that returns to Bopu is about to stop running. Ruan Xiaoer and Xiao Wu were going back to Bopu together, and Ruan Xiaoqi went back to school by himself.

The three brothers said goodbye, and Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu took advantage of the night to get on the public ox cart of the Bairen City Bopu. The two of them were slightly drunk.

"Comrade sergeant, and comrade second lieutenant, do you have any documents? I didn't have to buy a ticket. Sitting next to the ox cart, wearing a uniform, a dual-purpose helmet for fighting corpses, and a cowhide arrow-proof vest with a steel plate on the front and back of the chest, the ticket seller also served as a guard.

The guards were armed with bayonets at their hips and short-barreled Mini rifles, all of whom were army soldiers, and were sent out on a rotational basis to serve on ox carts. The first is to protect the safety of the Yingtong Line and the bullock cart, and the second is to deter some people who don't want to buy tickets.

Ruan Xiaoer and Xiao Wu took out their military IDs, and the little guards approached the lanterns hanging on the front of the car, carefully checked their photos, and then returned the military ID cards to them, and the soldiers took the car for free as usual, but they didn't enjoy it if they didn't bring their documents.

The last bullock cart was empty, almost half of the seats were occupied. The ox cart drove slowly, out of the East Gate City, the lights dimmed, although there are also street lamp poles on both sides of the road, but now the street lights are only some lanterns using candles, not so much to provide lighting, but to mark the extent of the highway. Prevent pedestrians and vehicles from going out of the boundary. The road has to be illuminated by the horse-mounted lanterns attached to the car.

Public ox carts cross every few kilometers. When encountering a turret, a drum will sound on the turret, and then the guards will respond by striking a few times on the small gong used to indicate the departure, and the number of taps varies every day, as a communication signal for defense along the way.

According to the regulations of the Police Headquarters, pedestrians on the highway at night must hold lanterns as signals. Otherwise, once the turrets are found along the way, they have the right to attack them at any time. Kill otherwise at the time of the actual operation is not an emergency state with a public gun. But it's inevitable to get into the cannon building and stay overnight.

The light of the horse lantern spilled into the carriage. It's very dim, and people are shadowy. In the distance, the city of Bairen, and the industrial area on the other side of the river are brightly lit, and the iron-melting furnaces of the iron and steel works are still about to be in production. The firelight reflected the sky red. The roar of machines and the loud clashing of steel were audible even across the river.

These scenes are all too familiar to them now, and there is no need for the panic and curiosity of the past. The Ruan brothers vaguely knew that it was these steel monsters that made loud noises day and night that the Australians could change Lingao, and also changed themselves and all the people here.

Ruan Xiaowu's holiday was very fulfilling, and his classmates and colleagues who had dealt with him in the same period came to congratulate him, and he had dinner and dinner for two days. One day, Zuihou was preparing to take over the ship tomorrow and go on a mission, so he simply closed himself in the barracks of Bopu, recuperating his energy, and by the way, thinking about how to manage the ships and sailors

Unlike the army, which was mainly from the peasant background, most of the sailors came from pirates, and they were tainted with all kinds of habits and were more unruly. It takes more effort to train their discipline than the Army. Wei Aiwen and Chen Haiyang spent a great deal of effort on establishing the concept of discipline and strictly strengthening the concept of superiors and subordinates, so although the navy was far superior to the army in terms of treatment, its rank was stricter, and its discipline was much stricter than that of the army. Although no one proposed to reinstate the corporal punishment system in the navy under the influence of the civilization of the century, the threshold for military law is very low. The captain of the ship has the right to arrest, detain and interrogate any person on board at any time while on board. A court-martial, consisting of the captain, an officer or cadet, and a member of the ship's soldiers' council, may be held on board. Once convicted by a military court, the captain has the power to sentence the prisoner to death.

Of course, the captain's power is not as great as imagined, and Ruan Xiaowu has been a "group of ten." "Knowing that there are secret members of the Group of Ten on every ship, the captain's words and deeds will be reported at all times. The Ten had the right to take over the ships if necessary. Of course, such a takeover is subject to strict scrutiny after the fact. When he was in the training class of the Ten-Man Regiment, the chief repeatedly reminded them that only when the officers had a definite and imminent defection to the enemy, and there was no other liliang nearby that could stop their actions immediately. Only then can the ten-man regiment appear in public and seize command. Nothing else can be justified in seizing command, otherwise it will be punished with disobedience. The consequences are severe...... Remember. You're just spies, not overseers! The authority of the officers must not be shaken at any time. Fighting for the rights of soldiers is a matter for soldiers' councils." Ran Yao reminded them more than once in the training class for the members of the ten-member group, "Once you meaninglessly reveal your identity, you no longer have this identity." The meaning of existence is lost! ”

In fact, the General Administration of Political Security is very strict with soldiers who leak the identities of their 10-member regiment. Several of Ruan Xiaowu's classmates in the training class were punished for violating the internal discipline regulations of the 10-member regiment and were sent to the disciplinary team of the Political Department, while others were expelled from the military and sent to the labor camp.

I didn't expect that I would now be the target of surveillance. Of course, his status as a member of the Ten did not change because he became an officer or captain. After joining the group of ten, it was almost a lifelong position. Now it is natural that there will be a ten-man regiment on board the Linyun 7, and he can be responsible for monitoring the tasks of other captains and even higher-ranking officers.

Last night, an unpaid letter arrived in the drawer of his dormitory, and the General Administration of Political Security asked him to go to the naval officers' canteen in Bopu for breakfast early this morning and wait for the next instructions from the General Administration of Political Security.

As he waited in the hustle and bustle of the cafeteria to buy breakfast, an indigenous naval officer he had never seen before approached him. After recognizing the simple code, the other party passed him a document with detailed instructions.

This is a letter that does not have the above paragraph or the next paragraph, congratulating him first on his promotion to second lieutenant and captain, and wishing him "the best of day" in his post. "Achieve new things

Then there were the instructions for the work of his next concubine.

His task was changed to monitor the other captains of the naval detachment in which the Yute 4 was located. Reporting is still monthly, and can be reported at any time in case of emergency. The method of reporting, the letter emphasized that it would be carried out by sending letters, and the mailing address should be attached: P.O. Box No. 1, General Post Office.

On his own ship, I don't know who the members of the group of ten are? According to the large establishment of Yute No. 4, there should be at least one member of the group. Ruan Xiaowu felt that he would definitely be able to identify it, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was better not to recognize it. ，！
