Leaving the bar, Verelli went back to his General Staff. Although he is already a major, he should be the lowest-ranking officer in the general staff of the generals, and it is estimated that he should be much busier than when he was here.

Looking at the back of him leaving in a hurry, I swallowed the sentence that stopped him. Although the General Staff is busy, it is closer to the highest echelons of the military, and perhaps in a few years he will appear in front of me as my superior, so it is better not to be sentimental and hinder the future.

Maxim and Zach returned to the fleet, and I went to see Theresa say goodbye to them in the scooter parking lot.

Taking advantage of the Colonel's authority, I have the right to rent a scooter first, and looking at the long queue, the ordinary citizens are either envious or angry at me, I don't feel fluttering, but I have a strange sense of urgency. At present, the provisional government is still very weak, and both the social structure and public resources are extremely strained. If you want to improve the strength of the certificate in the way of recuperation, you should not want to make achievements in a few years or even more than ten years. But will the enemy really give us that much time?

The scooter does not have to drive itself, according to the arrangement of the traffic control center, the most cost-effective route to the destination, the headquarters of the Martian Children Mining Company, where Teresa is busy.

I pondered over and over again the question of the timing of social development, while imagining Teresa's hard work. If Kiana's feelings were true, a large Perland fleet was nearby, then Teresa's efforts that had just improved were in vain. Let a large number of people who can't help in the battle and are easy to lag back hibernate in advance, but the established matter, is the little girl willing to participate in hibernation together?

I remember that when we met two days ago, she was devastated by the fact that her childhood friend was supposed to be her sister, and after months of hibernation, she had become her sister. However, according to the maturity regulations of hibernation, the age of human beings participating in hibernation should be adjusted according to the time difference between inside and outside, so as to avoid the tragic occurrence of gray-haired old men calling grandpa to young children from the outside world. I can only be powerless about her complaints and resentments. If she really wants to hibernate her, then the age gap between me and her will widen even further, and the relationship between the two of us will become more and more intimate.

In a fit of thought, the scooter arrives at the Martian Sons mining company's office on Europa. According to the distribution of mines in the existing territory, as well as the urgent needs of the government and the army, the main area of activity of Mars Son Mining Company is located on Io, this mine with natural metals and rare elements, due to the cutting of magnetic field lines and the tidal effect of gravity, the satellite that can provide natural clean electricity has become the main workplace for these professional absenteeism at this stage. With the increase in the number of thaws and the arrival of government-allocated production materials, the Children of Mars are rapidly regaining their social and political status as a mining association, and it can be said that Teresa's wish is being fulfilled and by her own efforts, and I, the nominal chief, have not been able to help.

I went to see her this time to see if I could return the position of leader of the Martian Child to her.

Looking at the magnificent but practical, simplely decorated building in front of you, you can roughly guess Teresa's character, she is an extremely pragmatic and capable girl.

As the nominal leader of the Martian Child, I will naturally not be hindered from entering the building, on the contrary, the news of the leader's visit and guidance has already spread, and Teresa soon greeted me with a cadre of Mars.

"Ahh The leader of our busy man has finally arrived. I thought you were so busy that you didn't even have time to visit this home-like place. ”

Teresa's trademark poisonous tongue coupled with a sarcastic opening line was something I was used to. You can't just look at the surface when communicating with her, and from her smiling demeanor that even her eyelashes are smiling, you can roughly understand that the little girl is in a good mood.

"Hey, that's why you didn't trust me at the beginning, no, I found a moth back, and the responsibility can't be left on my head."

"You are self-aware. But don't worry, diligence can be trained, and as the executive manager of the Children of Mars, I have an obligation to train a diligent leader for everyone. ”

Laughter came from behind her, and Anderson, a big man who had been born and died on Mars together, and Akali, a capable girl, were among the cadres. Unlike the other cadres, they were very familiar with my personality, and they did not show any restraints, and in the laughter, the restrained attitude of the children of Mars relaxed.

Although I don't like the entertainment on the scene, but now that I am the nominal leader, it is too long to leave, and a welcome party of no small scale, the cadres of the Children of Mars gathered. Teresa spoke to all of Mars at the welcome party and briefed me on the current state of the mining company's operations and prospects for the future.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was Callista evening, the welcome party was finally over, and Teresa and I finally had time alone.

Seeing that I had something to say, Teresa, dressed in a suit and looking like a little adult, sat in the boss's chair in the mine office and waited for me to speak.

I gathered my thoughts a little, and suddenly it felt like what I was about to say didn't fit in with Teresa's state and the atmosphere here.

Scratching my head, I still reluctantly said what I was ready to say.

"Teresa, you see the Martian Son is on the right track. If peace continues, your mining companies will become mining giants within the Provisional Government, with political and social security. ”

The little girl looked at me with a smile, she usually appeared in front of everyone in an aggressive manner, but at this time when the two of us were alone, she changed her expression, a look that matched her age and belonged to the demeanor of a young girl.

"I think, I'm really not suitable for the position of leader, and you see, you're so busy, I haven't done anything, I always feel like I'm superfluous for the son of Mars, so ......"

"So you're going to leave me alone, aren't you!!"

With tears in her voice, Teresa was already standing in front of me. She was of the smaller size and stood up to my chin only. At this time, the little girl's beautiful eyes were flashing continuously, the corners of her mouth were bent down, her arms were wrapped around her shoulders, and her body was trembling uncontrollably.

I was taken aback by her appearance and quickly grabbed her shoulder.

"What's wrong with you? Where is it uncomfortable? ”

The white little hand blocked my arm, "Don't worry about it, I'm alone anyway, no one will care." Now that Dad and Aunt Lucy are gone, even you have to abandon me. It doesn't matter if I'm comfortable or not, what are I doing! ”

I didn't take the position of the leader seriously, but now when I hear her say this, I immediately understand that in fact, the little girl is closely linked to the identity of the leader of the Martian Child through her relationship with me. I actually just wanted to give up this false name, and Teresa was the most suitable person for this position at this stage, and I didn't think too much about it. I didn't expect her reaction to be so big.

"Let's go! Don't show up in front of me again, don't you say you're a moth! That's right, you're a moth, and you're a ruthless moth. I misread you, go, don't come back! Woowoooooo.......oo

After saying a lot of decisive words, Teresa stood alone and began to cry.

Outside the office, a voice was heard, and Akali appeared. I'm asking her not to come in for now, I'll take care of it. She looked at me with a frown, and then at Teresa. Then he pointed at me and then at her, and patted his heart before shaking his head and retreating with a worried face.

Although I didn't have much experience with girls, and I didn't have enough social experience, I knew that I couldn't really leave at this time, as Teresa said. It's not just as simple as I thought, if I leave now, it will hurt this lovely little girl deeply, I have no intention of hurting her, not before, not now, and not in the future.

On my instinct, I reached out and hugged her.

"What are you doing! Leave me alone, let me go! If you don't let go again, I'm going to call someone! ”

Under Teresa's angry reprimand, I did not obediently let her go, but relaxed the comfort of her neck, and the little girl was now hugged by me, and could only tilt her head to look at me.

"I probably understand what provoked you, but you're mistaken, I'm going to abandon your consciousness."

"Sophistry! Let go of me, rascal! ”

"Haha, I can't let you go, or I'll really become a bad guy who wants to abandon you. As for you calling people or something, it won't be useful, for a good soldier who is used to shuttling through enemy lines, you call one hundred and eighty ordinary people to get into my body at all. ”

"Let go! You big scoundrel, big liar! I don't want your sympathy, if you leave, just leave me alone and stay here alone, and don't care what I do! ”

After a lot of broken thoughts, she probably found that she would not break free from my embrace, so she fell on my chest and began to cry. I reflected in my heart that the next time I made an important decision about women, I would have to consult with Jasmine.

It's not like I'm not in contact with her anymore, why is she reacting so much?
