Chapter 21: Into the Play

"What are you doing watching me all the time?"

Vito was wiping the corners of his mouth with a napkin, and sensing Heiko's straight gaze, he looked up and smiled gently, "Isn't Mr. Colonel satisfied with the breakfast I ordered the chef to prepare for you?" ”

"Not this ......"

Heiko chuckled dryly.

How could he not be satisfied with bacon, baked beans, cheese and a glass of steaming milk, which was his favorite recipe in Marinfando?

Although he didn't reveal this kind of thing, Vito can check his resume since he was born, not to mention his own taste? The so-called lice are not afraid of itching, and Heiko has long been afraid of such small details.

What he is really struggling with at the moment is the huge difference between Vito's two faces, and the sensory impact it brings, don't ...... For a moment, Mr. Colonel did not know how to describe it.

"There's no need to be so surprised, who doesn't have two faces?"

Vito seemed to see through his thoughts, "In the future, I will probably show myself this image in front of the soldiers at the base for a long time, if you really can't accept it, just pretend that you haven't seen me before this morning." ”

Fart, Heiko scolded his mother in his heart, but he said it easily, just this week of getting along, the shadow you left on my heart is deeper than the past few decades, how can I forget it?

While he was scolding, Heiko didn't forget to have breakfast, it was freezing cold, and he was indeed a little hungry all the way from the fortress building to the restaurant in the cold wind.

"Look at this."

When it was almost time to eat, Vito took a printed document out of his arms, and Heiko hurriedly swallowed the last bit of bread, chewed and took the document, and asked vaguely, "What is this?" ”

"After about an hour, all the soldiers in the base will assemble at the training ground."

Vito held the milk cup and said leisurely, "And this is the speech I wrote for you by hand." ”

"Didn't you say it earlier, and you still have to bother you to do it yourself?"

Heike was suddenly flattered, "Hey, Lord Vito, don't you know, I've been working in the ministry for so many years, and it's a professional thing to write this kind of thing, I don't need to think about it, I can move my fingers, and in ten minutes, a perfect official article will come out, and you say you still have this heart......

He suddenly choked and looked at the smiling Vito in a daze - yes, it is impossible for Vito not to know what he is good at, so why did he spend so much effort to write an inconsequential speech for himself?

There's always a bad feeling about it...... Heiko took a sip of milk and silently began to look through the papers in his hand.

The previous content is indeed not different from what I expected, and it is all commonplace clichΓ©s.

For example, he first introduced his resume from the headquarters of Marin Vando, expressing that he had longing and expectation for Earl Island on the road, and then there was a long and tasteless exhortation......

But when he saw the back, Heiko's expression gradually changed.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

He grabbed the speech and was stunned for a long time before he raised his head, and said in anticipation: "That, Lord Vito, after all, we are newcomers, isn't it not good to take this kind of cruel medicine as soon as we come up......

"What's so bad." Vito shrugged, "This base is rotten to the roots, and you don't see it, if you don't turn over the whole dirt first, it will be even more difficult to deal with it later." ”

"But the means don't need to be so extreme......

Heiko was still a little hesitant, which was completely contrary to his original idea of getting by and living comfortably, "That guy named Luffy is still keeping an eye on my position all the time, and I will be antagonizing the grassroots soldiers in this way, and if I completely annoy them, I will be digging my own grave......"

"Of course I've thought about it."

Vito stood up from behind the table, stretched, and looked at the sky outside the door, "You just need to read the manuscript I gave you, don't worry about the rest, I will naturally wipe your ass." ”

"Well, well......"

Heiko had no choice but to agree.

"Although it is a little stricter, but in the final analysis, the regulations behind it are still for the good of those soldiers, don't forget, we are the navy from the headquarters, and we have to take on this responsibility after all."

Vito saw his reluctance, and took advantage of the fact that there were only the two of them in the restaurant at the moment, and patted Heiko on the shoulder:

"Let me ask you, what is the most important reason for Lao Tzu to go to such a ghost place to be a navy?"

This is simply a question to be given, and Heiko instantly recalled the words of Vito in the orange light that resounded across the sea in the sea train, and replied without hesitation:

"Power!"

"Wrong."

Unsurprising by his answer, Vito shook his head with a smile, pointed behind Heiko, and turned to leave the restaurant, leaving him with only a backlit back.

Warm, powerful, and trustworthy back.

If you've never known Vito, you're probably feeling like this at the moment......

But Heiko was at a loss.

He scratched his scalp, looked in the direction that Vito pointed out just now, searched for a long time, and finally landed on his white cloak, the two eye-catching black characters, which instantly made him suddenly understand.

[Justice]

This was followed by a chill.

…………

Nine o'clock in the morning was the time when Vito, in the name of Heiko, gave the order to gather all the soldiers of the branch and assemble at the training ground of the base.

In the blink of an eye, it was 8:50.

Tina, who had just come out of the house, entered the gate of the base unimpeded, and did not dare to linger for a single step, and hurried to the training ground located on the westernmost side of the base.

She has been signing up for the army for some time, and now as a second lieutenant in the branch, she is actually qualified to have her own room on the third floor of the fortress building.

However, Tina is a local, and her home is on this side of the eastern block, only two or three streets away from the base, even if you don't take the carriage pulled by the snow lion, it only takes ten minutes to walk.

In addition, she did not plan to stay for a long time in this 78th branch, which was incomplete and full of decay and depravity, and planned to leave for Marin Fando soon to find an opportunity to join the boot camp of the headquarters, so she didn't bother to claim her room, and she had never lived in the base since she was promoted to lieutenant.

No one will gossip.

Both the previous branch colonel and Lieutenant Colonel Luffy, who had temporarily taken charge of the base a few months earlier, turned a blind eye to the question of where the soldiers below lived.

Therefore.

As long as the navy has a place to live in the city, whether it is an ordinary soldier or a lieutenant officer, it has long been accustomed to living outside all the year round, coming to commute and check in every day like an ordinary office worker, and leaving the base at the end of the day, which is quite free.

And this is also the main reason why when Vito and others arrived yesterday, the entire base was pitch black, and there were not many naval soldiers in sight.

"It's finally here."

Tina, who had been running all the way to the training ground and was out of breath, glanced at the watch on her wrist and was relieved to find that there were still five minutes left before the assembly time in the command.
