Chapter 30: The Father and the Son
This is the eleventh day Ye Xiao has been held at the Special Military Court.
It has been the eleventh day since the special team members affiliated with the Justice Yuan brought Ye Xiao from the war zone prison.
The expected trial never began, and after meeting Ye Xiao's requirements for paper and pen, the guards did not interrogate again, allowing Ye Xiao to have a rare leisure time.
Taking advantage of this time, Ye Xiao took and wrote down all the equipment and weapon data in his memory, which was of great use to the empire.
As for yourself?
Ye Xiao didn't think he could escape the fate of eating a gun.
The only consolation for him was that the casualty figures and memories of the Jeseong incident had changed a lot, and although this was his biggest crime, for him, he was worthy of his conscience and the empire he guarded.
The door of the Magic Crystal Steel was opened, and footsteps were heard along the steel floor.
Four people.
Leng Yan heard from his footsteps that it was the voice of four people coming, sighed, thinking that the judgment was coming, he silently put away the things he wrote, packed up his military uniform and sat up straight.
"Sir, please!"
Three members of the Special Purpose of the Court of Justice accompanied a brigadier general, and after opening the heavy iron door, the special team members invited the colonel to enter, but they stood outside the door.
After seeing the comer, Ye Xiao was stunned - he couldn't believe that the person who came turned out to be his father Ye Xiaowu, the commander of the special operations group of the 4th Group Army of the Yulin Army.
"Dad......"
Not counting the time of dreams, this is the first time Ye Xiao has seen his father after joining the army, his father's body is still straight and majestic, and his eyes are still bright, but this time, he saw complex emotions such as distress, bitterness, and regret in his father's eyes.
After a sigh, Brigadier General Ye Xiaowu sat on the edge of Ye Xiao's bed, looked at his only son all the time, and said after a long time: "I'm thinner, I'm darker, but I'm stronger." β
Before experiencing the dream, Ye Xiao was very disgusted with his father who was going to send him to the army - in fact, his dream was to travel through the entire colorful world, instead of stepping into the army to continue the fate of the Ye family, but he did not resist his father, nor could he resist his father, and in the end he could only come to the army.
After experiencing all kinds of dreams, his hatred or disgust for his father has long disappeared without a trace, only the affection of his children for their elders.
After seeing his father, who was younger than in the dream, Ye Xiao couldn't show a trace of joy - at this moment, he had some regret for his behavior in Jeseong.
If I hadn't taken the initiative to carry this black cauldron, I am afraid that I would be hanging up to the lieutenant colonel's military academy and standing in front of my father with "showing off my might".
"You're doing a great job!" The brigadier patted his son on the shoulder, "Your mother and I are proud of you!" β
Ye Xiao's nose was sour and he wanted to cry.
After the Jeseong incident ended, he imagined the grief of his father and mother when they learned the news, and imagined his father's disappointed look, but he never imagined that his father would praise him so much after seeing him.
"I read the super armor top secret level document...... "The brigadier general looked at his son and raised his head proudly: "You did a very good job!" β
In fact, the brigadier general wanted to shed tears even more.
That day, he was pulled directly to the Sixiang Building in Yanhuang Longdu by a high-speed transport plane, and saw the top-secret documents dictated by Ye Xiao in his uncle's office.
In addition to Ye Xiao's description of the future, the most unforgettable thing for him is his son's ending in the "dream".
Although it only mentioned that the Dragon Cave ordered surrender, Ye Xiao said that he chose to be martyred - martyrdom!
Martyrdom!
In the last Sino-Japanese war, Ye Xiaowu's father, as a major general and division commander, refused the rescue of the special forces after the whole division was wiped out in the blocking war, and chose to die for the country.
At that moment, Ye Xiaowu was shaken and regretted it.
His son was reluctant to join the army, and it was he who forced his son to board the recruit train and step into the recruit camp. The son did not disappoint himself, and ended the mission of the soldier with the pride of the Ye family - even if it was just a "deduction", it was also a kind of future!
Putting aside the "deduction", this time in Jicheng, Ye Xiao's behavior also made the brigadier general proud, he could feel his conscience and confirm that his son was worthy of the honor of the imperial soldiers and the pride of the Ye family's children!
"You may take off your uniform," the brigadier general looked at his son, "but it's okay, you've fought and bled for the Empire, and you might as well take off your uniform." β
"Just take off your uniform?" Ye Xiao muttered, he couldn't believe his behavior, and he could only be punished by taking off his military uniform.
"The empire is going to expand its army and prepare for war," the brigadier general explained for his son: "The FΓΌhrer's Office, the Government Council, and the Military Council have agreed to prepare for a possible war in the future, and the military has exchanged benefits for the regression of the Parliament, although the Military Council and the Law Council will form a joint military tribunal, but according to the agreement reached, you don't need to carry this black cauldron." β
"Aren't you happy to hear that you don't have to be a soldier anymore?" After seeing Ye Xiao's reluctance and regret, the brigadier general said jokingly.
Ye Xiao was suddenly panicked, the years in the dream and the army time he had experienced added up to nearly twenty years, and when he suddenly heard that he was going to take off his military uniform, he was overwhelmed and panicked.
As for his former dreams, he had long forgotten them.
"I ...... I don't know ......" Ye Xiao shook his head, in fact, he knew very well that he couldn't leave the army anymore - especially the imminent threat of war, where was he willing to leave the army? It's just that he doesn't want to bother his father.
After all, with his bad behavior, being able to take off his military uniform unharmed is already the greatest mercy of the army!
"Don't think so much," the brigadier sighed silently, how could he not understand the state of his son? How many soldiers who have served for many years are like this? But let him be selfish! The Ye family has sacrificed too much for the empire, and he doesn't want to take his son anymore!
Taking off his military uniform is Ye Xiaowu's request - he doesn't want his son to be martyred or die in a battle like in the "deduction", how many people are buried in the Ye clan and his family? Not a lot of sons have a ......
"Your mother was supposed to come, but I persuaded her to wait at home with peace of mind, and tomorrow the court will be held, and you will go home with me then!" The brigadier general smiled: "Your mother has found a lot of blind dates for you, and when the time comes, you will go everywhere with other girls, and strive to bring your mother a daughter-in-law who satisfies her!" β
Ye Xiao pursed his lips, his father's appearance made him feel that this stubborn soldier was comforting him against his will, and Ye Xiao, who didn't want to disappoint his father, forced a laugh: "Well, I must find a satisfactory daughter-in-law for my mother......"
Father and son, who once felt hurt each other because of their stubbornness, are now clumsy to make up for it.
