After a while, Chen Wei and Lu Xue's subordinates all returned to the lounge. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info "Come, let's have a small meeting too." Chen Wei said, sitting around the table with everyone. See? Director Ouyang was the lowest-ranking and the only woman among all the participants. I'm afraid this meeting is enough for Ouyang to bear, but she is ready to apologize one by one. ”

I asked, "Who is she going to apologize to?" ”

He replied, "All the commanders she had accused of recuperating from her injuries in the previous period." She wanted to use this to rally their support for the VRMT project. ”

At this time, someone asked, "Is our project really going to be discontinued?" ”

"It's not going to be a disappointment, but it's definitely going to be a consolidation of the project. Therefore, our existing cooperation with Veken is estimated to be basically over. ”

I asked, "Does this project refer to the athletic school and the Maple Grove Fantasy?" ”

Chen Wei looked at me, "Athletic School and Maple Grove Fantasy are both part of the VRMT project, and they are only a small part. But it's the most skeptical part. It is difficult for people who adhere to the traditional combat thinking to understand the significance of new technologies in military exercises. ”

Xinlan asked: "Then Commander Wu is also here today, will he support us?" ”

"Because of the identity of the commander and his relationship with Ouyang. He has never publicly expressed his support for the VRMT project. Before his death, Director Han and I privately asked the general what he thought about the VRMT project. In general, the military impact of all new technologies is considered by the general to be worth studying. However, for the form of cooperation between Ouyang and Veken, Yunning and other companies, the general has always had a lot of complaints. I think Commander Wu will most likely not say a word today. Originally, Commander Wu never attended such a meeting. It is already very special that he was invited by General Liu to attend the meeting today. ”

Shui Ling asked: "Then what is the difference between Commander Wu not saying a word and him not coming?" ”

"There is a difference. With Director Ouyang's unruly character, it already made her uncomfortable to endure humiliation and beg for help in a low voice. But she didn't have a grudge with those people for a day or two. If you don't say a word, I'm afraid you'll have to quarrel again. General Liu is a master of balance in the army, and he definitely does not want this kind of scene to appear at the meeting he presides. So he invited Commander Wu here. In this way, Ouyang will have some scruples when he speaks, and the opponents will also be restrained in front of the commander. So Commander Wu didn't speak, which was already the greatest support for us. ”

At this time, I thought, is it because of Lu Xue's insistence on sitting in a wheelchair and pretending to be like this today? Alas! These things don't sound boring.

Chen Wei continued: "Five years ago, Director Han, on behalf of his superiors, signed an agreement with Veken to allow the commercialization of VRMT research results. For this reason, he has been under tremendous pressure for five years. But now it seems that this is the right thing to do. With the support of products and markets, Veken can continue its research on its own and make the technology more mature and perfect. Otherwise, I am afraid that our investment and dedication for so many years will come to naught. ”

Everyone was silent.

"Alright, let's say something happy! During Operation 1013, a combat group consisting of three comrades present successfully shot down and captured two hostile drones. Although the drone initiated the self-destruction procedure, we still obtained a lot of valuable information through the wreckage analysis. The General Staff Department of the Military Region decided to commend the three comrades, He Jiaxin, Fang Lingshan, and Mo Huaiyu. Here, I would like to congratulate you in the first place. ”

Everyone applauded, but the three of us didn't. Xinlan said: "In this operation, Director Han died, and Sister Ouyang was seriously injured again. What is there to be happy about? ”

Chen Wei didn't answer her words, "At tomorrow's commendation meeting, Fang Lingshan will be the representative of the cadets of the military academy, and Mo Huaiyu will come to the stage to receive the award as the representative of the reserve participants." Jiaxin, the opportunity for active soldiers to come to power has been given to Director Ouyang, don't you have any ideas! ”

Xinlan smiled, "Director Chen, what are you kidding?" How could I have any ideas. ”

I felt discomfort in my chest. So he left without waiting for Luxue to come out. Chen Wei asked Shui Ling to accompany me to the hospital for a follow-up examination, and then sent me back to the guest house.

While eating, I asked. "Sister Shui Ling, have you graduated?"

"Not yet, I'm working on my dissertation right now." She said.

"What is it?"

"I can't tell you that."

Because of the pain in my chest, I ate very slowly and didn't want to talk much. Shui Ling finished eating with me and left in a hurry.

I don't feel the slightest excitement about the upcoming recognition. I leaned back on the quilt, and the oppressive atmosphere of the daytime meeting always enveloped me. The wound in my ribs kept me from moving. To be honest, Chen Wei's words didn't resonate much with me.

I recall that I met Lu Xue from the Internet. Our interaction in the virtual world seems to me to be nothing more than an extension of online games. Including the inexplicable programming tasks she gave me, I just did it out of interest. I was content not to be accused of being a plaything by my old elders, and I never imagined that the activities I participated in would have any intersection with the noble concepts of state, responsibility, honor, and sacrifice.

Early the next morning, Chen Wei took me to the venue by car. At the security checkpoint, my phone was confiscated. Chen Wei reminded me that any activities I participated in in the barracks in the past two days were confidential and not allowed to be leaked.

"And what if you talk about it?" I asked.

"I'll send you six words: don't listen, don't read, don't remember. If you don't know anything, don't remember anything, you won't leak it. ”

Outside the lounge, I saw that the female soldiers had changed their skirts today, including Xinlan and Shui Ling, adding a touch of charm to their heroic posture. Does Lu Xue have to wear a skirt too? Is she still in a wheelchair?

"What about Sister Ouyang?" I asked.

Shui Ling pointed to the inside of the lounge, "Sister Ouyang is resting inside." You'll push her out later! ”

Luxue was the only one in the lounge. She sat in a wheelchair, looking out the window, her face rather haggard. She also wears a skirt, but with long boots on her feet. The knee of the prosthetic right leg is covered with a white leggings.

I walked up to her. She looked up at me, "You're here!" Does your chest still hurt? ”

"Much better. What about your legs? ”

"Didn't I tell you that it's all right?"

I squatted down and stroked her knee, "Sister, we've been together for so long. If you have something unsatisfactory, can't you let people share it? ”

"You know the nature of my job. There are many things that are impossible to tell you. ”

"Isn't it possible to say what you feel physically and mentally?"

"Didn't I tell you, it's fine! Are you okay? Let's not talk about that for now. The meeting is about to begin. Can you push me out first? ”
