Chapter Seventy-Two: Deserved
Three days later, in the suburban town of Dude in Xialin District, two military vehicles were parked steadily in front of a house.
Immediately, the eyes of the people in the town who did not have a lunch break were attracted, and the mayor of the town and the sheriff of the town, who got the news, appeared next to the military vehicle the moment the door of the military vehicle opened.
"Mr. Colonel, is there anything I can do for you?"
Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him in a straight military uniform, the mayor of the town asked earnestly - although as the mayor of a town, he is the same in the whole town, but it is only in the town, in the face of high-ranking military officials, he does not have that kind of power and courage; After all, unlike other systems of the Supreme Government, most of the people in the military are known for their uprightness and ruthlessness throughout the Supreme Government system; Even if he had only heard some rumors, it was enough to make him cautious.
The sheriff, on the other hand, was more direct, and after saluting, he stood by with a bow, as if he was waiting to be dispatched—even though the police had been removed from the military system at the meeting ten years earlier, and carried out their rights alone; However, it is clear that such an order is not implemented thoroughly, especially in the face of some middle-aged police officers, who have long been accustomed to the original way; For example, the sheriff of this small town in front of him.
"Sheriff, is this Old Del's house?"
Undoubtedly, compared to the mayor, the colonel in front of him was also more favored by 'his own people', and after nodding to the mayor, he asked the sheriff standing beside him.
"Yes, sir!"
Instinctively, the town's sheriff straightened up and shouted a resounding answer, just as he had done ten years ago.
"Very well, Mr. Sergeant!"
The Colonel nodded in satisfaction; Turning around, he walked towards the military vehicle - when he was not out of the military system, the positions of the police were basically arranged according to the rank of the military, and the sergeant was the sergeant rank.
The mayor of the town, who was standing on the sidelines, kept his own slightly humble and peaceful smile as he faced the conversation between the sheriff and the colonel. But the slight uneasy glance in his eyes showed that the town was not as peaceful as his smile suggested—as mayor of the town for thirty years, with only a few years left to retire, any disturbance would make his nerves tense; After all. In these thirty years as mayor, he did not have no plans to seek further progress, and he had the impulsive enthusiasm of his youth; But when I saw the miserable end of those colleagues who were better at the worst. He hesitated.
Opportunity waits for no one, and just as he hesitates, everything is already settled; Some rose to the top of the ranks, and sat in positions he didn't even dare to think about, but most fell to better colleagues than him. An even more miserable end - compared to his colleagues who were just pawns, it was the people who appeared behind him who were really remembered; Although he was envious of those who had attained high status, when he saw the miserable fate of those losers, he finally chose to give up and honestly sat in his position as mayor, waiting for retirement.
And afterwards, it undoubtedly proved the correctness of his choice - victory and defeat are always mutual. No one can win all the time; Those who have attained high positions. In the first few years, it was indeed a spring breeze and unlimited scenery; But in the following years, they were knocked down by waves of turmoil in the supreme government system, especially in the years when they were proud, it was inevitable to offend people; Therefore, at the end of the day, they all ended up even more miserable than those opponents at the beginning.
Seeing such a situation, the mayor of the town was even more determined in his choice. Manage your town well and never get involved in any dangerous 'activities' - so. When he saw a military colonel appear in his town, the mayor's heart had already begun to rise; For him, who is already about to retire. Any accident is something he would never want to see. …,
And when I saw the colonel, he walked to the side of the military vehicle and reported respectfully; The old mayor's heart went straight to his throat - for the annual inspection sent by the supreme government is only equivalent to the rank of military major; The Colonel, for him, the mayor of the town, was a great high official; And now looking at the attitude of this colonel, it is clear that there is an even more remarkable figure sitting in the military vehicle.
Could it be a general or the speaker of the military?!
The old mayor, who had long since wandered away from the circle of the highest government officials, could only judge his guesses by his rank; Therefore, when he saw the people who stepped out of the military vehicle, he couldn't help but become dumbfounded - walking in the front was a man with a thin figure and face, although the inky blue board inch was very military style, but the cough from time to time at that time was difficult for people to associate with the military that had always shown toughness.
Behind is a young man, compared to the previous middle-aged thin man, but the person in front of him makes everyone, including the mayor and the sheriff, feel more like people from the military and the army - a straight military uniform, the lieutenant's rank star shines in the sun, although he is on crutches, but the wrapped injured leg makes this slightly literate young man have a little more iron and blood unique to soldiers.
Of course, what puzzled the old mayor the most was the young woman who was the last; The long golden hair dazzled even under the night sky, and the look that made all the men of the town look straight, made the mayor swear that this was the most beautiful man he had ever seen in his life, even the secretaries who had always been considered beautiful by the inspectors were no match for the young woman in front of him; It's just that the only downside is that it's too cold; Swept by the expressionless eyes, all the people in the town felt uncomfortable, and they turned their heads and looked away.
However, this did not make the townspeople talk any less, but grew louder and louder—though as a far suburb of Dude, not far from the bustling metropolis, anything new would soon spread here; But compared with all the new things, the existence of the military itself with a mysterious color is undoubtedly more attractive to them; In particular, after seeing the colonel's respect for the three people who got off the car later, it was like the attraction of flowers to bees, which made them want to stop.
While they couldn't understand the true meaning of such a rank as colonel as the old mayor, it was high enough for them to be higher than anything they had ever seen. And that was enough—the chatter grew louder, especially when one or two of the townsfolk had a very good-eyed presence to see Del's face clearly. This kind of chatter has reached a new level, and even when the old mayor stops it, it still can't be stopped.
"Look, the young man in the middle should be the son of Old Del, right?!"
"Really, fake. You can't be mistaken, right? ”
"How could I be mistaken, the last time I went to Lao Del's house as a guest, I saw a photo of their whole family on the cabinet in the living room!"
The townsfolk who were the first to speak immediately shouted loudly when they heard the rebuttals around them.
"It really is. Old Del's son?! But didn't old Del say that his son worked in Port Sasse? How can it be a military man? ”
"Some secret missions of the military, of course, can't be talked about; Even parents can't say it explicitly! ”
In the face of doubt, the townsman who was still the first to speak immediately explained, and after seeing the sudden appearance of the people around him, he immediately smirked his neck; However, in an instant, he became a shrunken quail under the stern gaze of the old mayor—thirty years was enough time to make the prestige of the old mayor who had carefully maintained and built the town within the reach of five people in the whole town; Coupled with the advantage of being a local, the whole town has a few long-lived existences. Almost all of them were juniors of the old mayor; Even if it's some guys who are usually idle and cause trouble. When he saw that the old mayor was really angry, he would immediately become obedient, and he would not dare to refute anything; Unless you really don't want to stay in this town anymore. …,
"Mr. Colonel......"
After seeing that the townspeople were quiet, the old mayor, who was uneasy, looked at the previous colonel.
"Lieutenant Del, who was discharged from duty wounded. On behalf of the military, we send Lieutenant Del home! ”
The Colonel's words finally dispelled the old mayor's doubts; He turned his head. Looking at Del on crutches, he smiled most sincerely—nothing happened that he least wanted to see. On the contrary, a hero was ushered in, and the old mayor certainly had reason to be happy; After all, with the existence of such a hero with a military background, those inspection officials will definitely restrain themselves; Even, at this moment, the old mayor's mind has already appeared in the cautious appearance of this year's inspection officials.
Therefore, the old mayor looked at Del with a little more eagerness.
"Lieutenant Del, our hero, welcome home!"
"Drink and go home!"
Although he withdrew from that circle, as an old mayor who had stepped into that circle, of course he knew what to say at this moment; And at this moment, the prestige of the old mayor also played its due role, and the townspeople shouted one after another—as for the old Del and his wife, who had only moved in two years ago, and their son had appeared in the town for the first time, such a thing had long been selectively forgotten by everyone; Even if someone brings it up, they will be spat on it with disdain by others, and scold the white-eyed wolf who eats inside and out.
And in the face of such shouts, it is certainly impossible for the old Del couple to still be immersed in sleep during the lunch break; Listening to the continuous cheers, the two old men slowly walked down from the bedroom on the second floor and opened the door on the first floor curiously; Then they saw the son who had haunted them and was saddened by their hearts—although they had heard the cheers of the hero Del, the two old men did not immediately think that it was their son; The amount of money that is a huge amount of money every month, and the ominous words of each letter and telegram, especially a move two years ago, gave the two old men a rough guess of what their son was doing.
Knowing the son is better than the father, and knowing the son is like the mother.
Some inadvertent abnormalities are enough to make parents who instinctively care about their children notice—as time goes by, the two old men even have a premonition of a sudden bad news from their son one day; And after this premonition appeared, the two old men, who did not want to be so passive, began to prepare, they were ready to go to Sass Harbor to find their son; However, knowing that their son had been involved in or involved in something, they did not blindly go straight to Sass Port, but used the money that their son remitted every month as a fund to find a channel that could leave the town and enter Sass Port without affecting their son.
Obviously, such a channel is too difficult for two old people who are not professionals; It can be said that there is not even a clue; However, the two old men did not give up. After spending a lot of time and money and still not finding the corresponding channel, the two old men continued to search until they opened the door and saw their son.
"Del?!"
I saw the older and older faces of my father and mother. and completely gray hair, with crutches, Del almost rushed to his parents in a posture of ignoring his injuries, and hugged the two old men to his chest. He whispered, "Father, Mother! ”
Years of longing, the depression in the bottom of my heart, when Del hugged the two old men, all melted into his eyes; Tears containing only Del's own knowledge flowed down his cheeks; And the sudden appearance of his son also frightened the two old men. I couldn't help but cry. …,
Bang Bang Bang ......
Starting with the old mayor, all the townspeople, including the colonel and Moretti, gave the family in front of them a round of applause.
"Old Mr. Del, Del is the glory of our whole town, a hero!"
The old mayor's words made the old Del couple finally see the military uniform on their son; In the surprised looks of the two old men, the colonel came over.
"After graduating, Del was specially recruited into the military because of his excellent grades; Because. Special discipline. Unable to mention it to family and friends clearly; Thank you for your understanding! And now, Del has completed his task and was allowed to retire with honor by the military! And his excellent record and glorious history will surely become a role model for the next generation of special recruits! ”
Undoubtedly, compared to the words of the old mayor. Mr. Colonel's words were even more forceful; The two old men's happy expressions came from the inside out. Unabashedly.
Looking at the family hugging each other again, Moretti greeted the colonel. and Lilith entered the second military vehicle and left silently first—their mission itself was to cooperate with the military to fulfill one of the requirements made by the Northed family; Now that Del has been successfully delivered, their mission will naturally be completed, and the rest of the finishing work will be taken care of by the military.
As for them?
In the Bay Area, Landing is their next mission – and the next mission is the most important thing for them compared to the one they have just completed.
……
"Has the military been corrupted to such an extent?"
The blonde girl sitting in the back seat still had a gloomy face, and even when she spoke to Moriti, the boss she once respected, she was cold—yes, the boss she once respected; After the other party put forward the order to let her go to Landinburgh, the original respect collapsed in the heart of the blonde girl.
As a member of the secret service that is free from the government system and the military, and is only responsible to the highest government, the blonde girl is undoubtedly proud, especially when she is a woman, relying on her own strength to achieve this achievement step by step, that pride can always make her stand tall in the face of anyone; Therefore, the blonde girl has a deep disdain for those of the same sex in the government system and the military who sell their bodies to gain status or fulfill special missions, especially when facing the former.
Therefore, when she knew that she was about to become such a member, that blow instantly shattered all the pride she had insisted on, and even the suffocation caused by that moment made her feel like life was worse than death—from that moment on, the blonde girl's originally slightly resolute face became cold; The fawn-like gray eyes became even more lifeless; The smile never appeared again; It's a business-like way to face anyone.
"If you make a mistake, you will be punished, and making up for it is the right attitude!" Looking at the appearance of his former subordinate, Moretti sighed helplessly in his heart, and then explained to the other party in as much detail as possible: "What that young man did in Sass Harbor that night, this is what he deserves!" ”
"Then I deserve to pack me up and give it to Ye Qi?"
Moriti's last sentence was immediately met with a mocking response from the blonde girl—and after saying that, the blonde girl tilted her head to the side and stared blankly at the scenery outside the window.
As for sad tears?
The only thing she has left, the pride she can be autonomous, is to keep herself from crying.
PS The decadence of being busy with business had just breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly found that his clothes had not been washed, and the window glass, floor, bedding, etc. at home had not moved anything; Moreover, tomorrow Chinese New Year's Eve will go back to my parents; I can't help but feel sad from the bottom of my heart!
Therefore, after three seconds, the decadent gritted his teeth and stamped his feet and made the decision not to wash and clean up—anyway, there was a dress that had been replaced by the decadent prescient as a reserve; Hehe, so wait for the rest to come back and wash it later
