Chapter 24: The Pioneer Overture (24)
Lu Lu looked at the time, had jumped to seven o'clock in the evening, and decisively decided to end today's working hours.
"A peaceful day is more annoying than war." Lu Lu finished his work early, stood up and stretched. It would be said that he lost most of the work to others, but during the period of heavy fleet affairs, Lu Lu needed to sign thousands of documents every day.
Then he walked over to Hayabusa's table and knocked on the table. "Let's go, let's eat."
What Lu Lu won't say is that he plans to go to the restaurant to block his chief of staff and apologize to the good old man. Li Ce is the boss of the General Staff, if he doesn't come back after a vacation, maybe thousands of people will run away. If it really gets to that point, Lu Lu is not the only one who will be driven crazy by work.
Hayabusa didn't wonder why Lu Lu suddenly jumped from office to eating, anyway, she had long known that her general was a god, a god of nervousness. Hayabusa cleaned up the folders piled up on the table, locked the scepter that Lu Lu had thrown earlier, and then followed Lu Lu as usual.
The farewell party prepared by the General Staff for colleagues was, of course, in the No. 1 Officers' Dining Room. It's not that it embodies the vanity of identity, but because the No. 1 officer hall is close enough and big enough.
Don't look at the fact that it has only been half a year since the end of the war, but the special service fleet still entered the rotation early. It's just that the status of the General Staff is special, and other people's rotations are almost over, and the General Staff has only begun now. So a quarter of the people in the first wave, and more than 4,000 seats on the ships leaving the port today were set by the General Staff.
Group holidays are common in other fleets, and fleets that have been established for a long time will form a routine, and personnel management and affairs arrangements are very convenient, but this is the first time for the special service fleet. But the guys in the staff department are all shrewd, and almost all of them go back with their families in tow.
The staff officers of the staff department also felt that their big guys were a pit, and they obviously had a lot of work, but they had to take a vacation at this time. It's been delayed for two years, so we can't delay it for a few more years. However, Li Ce knows that no one will wait forever.
Lu Lu's arrival in the middle of the meal did not surprise anyone. The rest of the department is fine, but the staff is located on the USS Federation, and even if there is no previous incident, Hayabusa will remind Lu Lu to participate. The special fleet is on the right track, and there will never be more chaos that can only be solved by Lu Lu himself.
Since the staff is directly facing the internal department of the fleet, among the staff of tens of thousands of people, only those old men are familiar with the great admiral Lu Lu. The difference between the old man and the newcomer is obvious, when Lu Lu walked into the hall, it was the old man who raised his glass to Lu Lu, and the one who saluted solemnly was not long after coming to the fleet.
This short span is calculated in terms of ten years.
Although he wanted to laugh when he saw his subordinates trembling, Lu Lu still held back a smile and raised his hand to return the salute. Lu Lu walked directly to the center, took the wine glass handed by Falcon, and raised it high: "This cup is a tribute to the heroes who have died, and also to us who are alive." ”
"Finally, take a good vacation and work well."
Lu Lu took the cup and drank it all, and then showed the bottom of the cup to everyone. For a while, in the hall, people were holding shiny wine glasses.
Having completed the toast, Lu Lu quickly retreats to the corner, leaving the center of the dinner party to the real protagonist. For example, the big guy of the General Staff, Li Ce.
After all, it is better to be a county official than the current management, so Li Ce is more popular in the staff than Lu Lu, and after Lu Lu got out of the way, Li Ce was immediately surrounded by his subordinates. Lu Lu, who was nesting on the edge with the falcon, laughed at Li Ce being maliciously drunk by his subordinates.
After making a fuss for a long time, Li Ce found an opportunity to hide in the corner with Lu Lu alone with a glass of wine. Let Hayabusa stand a little outside and smile brightly. The people who had planned to gather around to join in the fun were either frightened away by Falcons' smiling face or dragged back by the others.
"Some people say that the Grand Admiral is not close enough to the people." Li Ce felt that Lu Lu was actually quite kind.
"Nobody wants to see me when I'm close to the people." Lu Lu's words mean something else.
"Yes." Li Ce smiled, and he knew Lu Lu's answer. "If you haven't changed, the special service fleet will still be the special service fleet, and it won't change." The imprint left by Lu Lu in the special service fleet is too strong, and smart people will not be willing to directly confront Lu Lu, and fools are not necessarily.
Lu Lu shrugged, the current situation is not the same as himself. Rather, it was the original 2,000-strong special service fleet and the current 240,000-strong special service fleet, the difference between the two is so great that they are fundamentally two concepts. And the top of the Federation didn't know that the clones were more obedient than they thought.
"I thought you were in favor of sending them to farming." Lu Lu rolled his eyes and let the clones switch to mining, which was really blind to the military knowledge that so many experts had come up with. "And I just think that there is no fairer chance for a simple clone than war."
"How is that possible?" Li Ce used the action of drinking to hide the surprise in his heart, after all, in his opinion, Lu Lu has no compassion and empathy at all. "There are so many complaints, my ears are calloused. I didn't see you waver, I thought you didn't know. ”
Fair chance to compete, this is really full of compassion. If Lu Lu hadn't quickly attained a transcendent status, he would have been a super-lethal criminal, and he would have been the kind that could shock the universe. After all, he is a young man who can be a pirate.
Lu Lu actually knew very well that he was 20,000 years away from this era after all. Many of the ideas that seemed very incredible to Lu Lu were normal and common in this era. It's like Lu Lu sent the clones to the battlefield, and the Yanhuang people only complained about stealing their jobs.
In Lu Lu's concept, it is a practice that does not respect life, but it is regarded as fair and just by the Yanhuang people of this era. The generation gap between Lulu and this era is too large, and there are all kinds of unexpected errors, and there are so many that it is not clear.
"How could I not know." Lu Lu's eyes drifted to Falcon's body, and what he saw was her black uniform that was easy to move on. Symbolizing the black color of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, how many people grit their teeth and hate them for being so wide. But the stability of the federation is due to the fact that the Ministry of the Interior does everything and does not care about anything.
Li Ce's gaze drifted, and he also saw the black uniform, perhaps drunk, and he subconsciously said: "The white bones on the wasteland, the vultures of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the grim reaper on the dark side, uh ......"
Lu Lu raised the cup and took the initiative to touch the cup in Li Ce's hand, interrupting him to finish the smooth recitation. Because Lu Lu knew what was going on, but he didn't want to hear it at all.
Looking at the back of someone who didn't seem to have heard anything, Li Ce changed his tone a little embarrassed: "Okay, no matter what, there is no major problem with our intelligence, that is, it is very good." ”
There are too many shady tasks in the missions carried out by the special service fleet, so it is also common for the information given by their own families to go wrong. It's just that most of the people on the mission came back alive, and they were still energetic enough to spray their own intelligence officers. Therefore, the sense of the military in the fleet towards the intelligence department is not as awkward as that of other fleets.
"There have been too many things lately, and I can't do it." Lu Lu sighed, he knew that compared to himself with a young and vigorous person, the pressure that Falcon had to face was a lot. The worst part is that there is so little help I can give. "I'm relieved that you're on vacation at this time."
There is only one voice within the fleet, and what Li Ce represents within the fleet is dissent. Therefore, Li Ce's choice to take a long vacation at this time is an attitude of supporting Lu Lu's work.
"Hahaha...... Of course. Seeing Lu Lu sighing, Li Ce smiled happily: "I am the chief of staff of the special service fleet, of course I have to stand on the side of our special service fleet." ”
Although he was ridiculed by Li Ce, Lu Lu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, at least the chief of staff had to run away. In the future, he will bring more talents for himself.
*
Lu Lu didn't like the strange atmosphere in the dinner, so after confirming Li Ce's idea, he sneaked through the back door to the viewing area with the falcon. The Confederation was quiet at night, and the entire viewing area was only minimally lit.
Out of anxiety about the Falcon's quietness, Lu Lu went to the self-service machine and got two cups of coffee. Seeing that Falcon had already sat down on the bench, Lu Lu was particularly careful to hand over the coffee: "Are you angry?" ”
"Nope." Falcon took it unceremoniously, tasted it first, and then said leisurely: "What Li Ce said is the truth, and there is nothing to be angry about." ”
Lu Lu suddenly felt a faint pain in his stomach, and he called the chief of staff by his full name, and said that he was not angry, and his duplicity had reached this point.
"The person who drinks coffee now is called Feng Yiwu." The girl leaned back in the chair and raised her head to look at Lu Lu standing behind her, revealing a childish smile. "I'm not angry."
"Well, you win. If you say you're not angry, you're not angry. Lu Lu looked at the smile and sighed helplessly.
"Hey, hey." The girl laughed triumphantly, as if she had won some terrible victory, so that Lu Lu did not know how to respond.
"How about you come and sit with me for a while?" Obviously it was a question sentence, but she reached out and patted the position next to her domineeringly.
There was no need to think about this kind of thing, Lu Lu walked a few steps directly and sat down next to her. She unceremoniously rested her head on Lu Lu's shoulder and hummed a particularly cheerful tune. As if to declare to Lu Lu, her current mood is extremely cheerful, and if Lu Lu didn't feel the coolness near her neckline, she would probably be fooled.
The minor key was repeated several times, and the voice became softer and softer, and Lu Lu protested: "You let me squint for a while, just for a while." ”
So the gentle minor key came to an abrupt end, and the huge viewing area was completely quiet, leaving only the faint breathing sound of the two of them. I don't know when, her breathing calmed down. Lu Lu looked at the coffee in his hand that had not been touched at all, and then at the empty cup in the girl's hand.
This unlucky kid is really distressing.
