Chapter 32: The Cheap Race
"You boy, this seriousness is a bit like Sakasky's."
"It's better not to be so serious!"
Karp couldn't laugh or cry.
He rarely saw a few people in the navy who could be indifferent to commendations and promotions.
Next to them, Jace and Captain Cullen were all beaming.
The Alabastan Maritime Patrol Force, although it has no bases to speak of, has considerable authority, and can be said to be the commander-in-chief of all the navies in this sea area, responsible for the security of the entire sea area. There are five patrol warships alone, including flagships, general combat fleets, and the number of naval personnel is about seven or eight hundred.
And because it is a battle at sea, every warship is loaded with guns and ammunition, absolutely powerful.
Such an important position, handed over to a person like Donn, will be an invisible deterrent to pirates in the entire sea area, and it will be an extremely high guarantee for civilians and merchant ships!
Hearing Karp say this, Don was slightly stunned, and then said something that silenced everyone present.
"Lieutenant General Karp, I don't know who Sakasky is."
"But, I'm absolutely different from him!"
"Everything I have gained now is piled up by the blood and sweat of countless people, and the lives that have passed away one by one."
"I don't have any reason to be happy with what I've gotten like this."
In the plain words, Karp can feel all the suffering behind this young man, and the responsibility he bears at this moment.
One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, and these ten thousand bones are not only the enemy's, but also their own comrades-in-arms and their own robes!
Only those who have gone through battles again and again and stepped into higher positions can truly understand exactly how many people are paying and bleeding behind everything they have gained! After receiving the reward, the first thing they think about is not how to enjoy their rights, but how to use the resources in their hands to do better.
In this way, you can be worthy of the dedication of the group of people behind you!
"Well, then, please take care of what you have got! Major Donn! ”
"But, what you have at this moment is also what you deserve!"
Karp said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
After being slightly stunned, Tang En shouted loudly.
"Okay, I need to stay with you for a while, you can do it yourself!"
After the appointment, Karp waved his hand and said with a smile on his face.
"On behalf of the Alabastan Maritime Patrol Force, Donn welcomes Lieutenant General Karp."
Tang En gave a military salute and said with a smile on his face.
It was an honor for him to spend some time with such a naval hero. In addition, the act of sending Karp to the Navy Headquarters is also to make clear to Don that it is a fair system and generosity that welcomes the new star of the Navy and will not treat anyone who has made outstanding contributions to the Navy.
There is no doubt that he has won the recognition and respect of the department in his previous performances.
This is the invisible glory of the Navy!
Then Karp found an open space on the warship, pulled a chair, found a fishing rod, and began to catch fish. In just a few minutes, the middle-aged man with a Chinese face lowered his head, snoring loudly, and big snot bubbles appeared in his nostrils.
Looking at the appearance of a vice admiral, especially a legendary hero in the navy, the navy was a little surprised and couldn't laugh or cry.
"Lieutenant General Karp is never confined to the outside, speaking of which, he is also the easiest to get close to and communicate with in the department!"
Looking at Donn's expression, Kuzan walked over and said lazily.
"That's what makes him great."
Don said in a deep voice.
Kuzan raised an eyebrow: "You're right, you're really different from that Sakasky guy. ”
Don smiled: "There are no two identical leaves in the world, and naturally there will not be two people who are the same. ”
"No, no, no, you don't understand what I mean, how can you say it."
Kuzan waved his hand, a look of distress, and began to think.
Half an hour later, he clapped his hands.
"That's right! You, like that kid, seem to have experienced hardship, because of the influence of the environment, showing a serious, indifferent appearance. ”
"But his exterior really exposes the inside, giving people a feeling of indifference and ruthlessness."
"However, you, on the contrary, seem to understand or realize something more after experiencing suffering, giving people a bright, righteous and warm appearance."
Tang En was surprised and spit out a sentence: "I don't feel like this." ”
"You're surprisingly talkative, though, Kuzan."
He didn't expect Kuzan when he was young to be such a guy, lazy on the outside, but fiery and cheerful on the inside.
"Huh? Hahahaha, young people should have a young heart, I like to chat with people, hehehehe. ”
Kuzan touched his head and laughed.
"Communication always gives me a sense that I can better understand the direction of the path I am taking."
Tang En's eyes were slightly condensed, he knew that this period was the transition period for the future general in front of him to determine the path of justice that he would adhere to in the future.
A great person, his life, and all the perseverance that runs through it, are all formed because of everything he experienced on the road when he was young. Such as Lao Tzu's enlightenment, Confucius's cultivation of Confucianism, and Wang Yangming's enlightenment in Longchang, all of which are the same.
Grinding and suffering can make people sluggish and fall into the abyss, but they can also make people with perseverance reach a peak that others can't imagine.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Don."
With bright eyes, Don smiled and held out his hand.
After the pheasant was stunned for a moment, he also smiled and stretched out his hand: "Call me Kuzan." ”
The sea breeze blew gently, the occasional gulls chirped in the sky, and above the deck, two strong hands clasped together.
After this handshake, in the decades that followed, the friendship between the two and everything experienced between the two will be told, studied, and speculated by future generations.
There are too many stories, and I can only say it slowly, not in a hurry, and not in a hurry.
At the same time, somewhere in the world, in the midst of a splendid palace.
Dressed in a golden brocade robe, with a few lines on his forehead tightly folded, and a middle-aged man with an indifferent expression holding a newspaper in his hand, he was examining it.
That's right, it's scrutiny, his demeanor, his movements, like watching a criminal, a sinner, not just casually scanning the news.
"My eldest brother, you've been reading this newspaper for half an hour, and it's only four or five hundred words, haven't you finished reading it yet?"
Opposite him, another man in a purple brocade robe, with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, said jokingly.
Hearing the voice, the middle-aged man slowly put down the newspaper, and then looked at the man opposite.
"You, what do you mean by that?"
The purple-robed man showed a dumbfounded expression and shouted exaggeratedly.
"What do you mean? What do you mean by asking me? ”
"Oh my God, are you kidding?"
"As a member of our clan, you have gone to the navy! It's a shame to have a good reputation! ”
"Shame!!"
The middle-aged man's expression remained unchanged, and he waited for his younger brother to finish speaking before he spoke coldly.
"He's just a, and I've been kicked out of the family."
"What's my business?"
"What's your business?"
