Chapter Twenty-Three: Entering the House

"Could he be fooling us?" As soon as Long Xingyi walked out of the bar, he raised his question.

Yin Yuting glanced back and made sure that 24K didn't follow, so she said, "I don't know, this kind of person has always been unprofitable." But let's be honest, it's a good thing that you can take with you and be prepared. ”

Long Xingyi nodded, since he came to the future, the moment of "fate is on the stake" is not once or twice for him, but this time, he doesn't understand what it means.

Both of them drank alcohol, so they returned to the car and turned on the autopilot, navigated by Anna, back to the military base on the moon.

After a day of "coolie", Long Xingyi was already exhausted, so he helped unload the things to Yin Yuting's room, so he quickly said goodbye to the eldest lady and returned to his room.

As soon as he arrived outside his door, Long Xingyi saw the familiar figure again, standing straight at the door of Long Xingyi's room. Long Xingyi walked forward quickly, and sure enough, it was the Underworld Sea.

"I'm about to go, I've got something to tell you." The old commander said kindly.

Long Xingyi hurriedly opened the door and invited the Stygian Sea in.

Shenchen Hai entered the room, looked around, and sighed, "Not bad! Housekeeping is done decently. ”

Long Xingyi smiled implicitly, "I have participated in a lot of military training before, and I naturally like soldiers, so I have always demanded this from myself." With that, he went to pour water for the Hades Sea.

Styx nodded affirmatively, "Then I'll be relieved." As he spoke, he sat down at his desk and took the water cup handed by Long Xingyi, "Today, the heads of state and the commander-in-chief of the theater had a meeting together......

"Oh?" Long Xingyi thought to himself, you high-level meetings are my business, but he still pretended to be very interested out of politeness, moved a chair and sat next to the Stygian Sea, and looked at him intently.

After Long Xingyi sat down, Shenchen Hai continued: "The meeting discussed the plan to return to Earth, so I won't reveal it to you. There's also an agenda on your trip to the Tower of Light. ”

This time it's my business, Long Xingyi thought to himself.

"Considering that you don't have a military rank now, and it doesn't look good to go to the Star Alliance, in view of your previous excellent performance, after the strong recommendation of me and several other generals, our head of state has decided to promote you to brigadier general." didn't allow Long Xingyi to ask questions, and Shenchen Hai finished his words in one breath.

Lying down, Commodore General? Isn't it the legendary rank of "colonel"? I'm going to be a master so soon? Long Xingyi was surprised and delighted, and couldn't hide his joy for a while, so he grinned.

Shenchen Hai stared at him solemnly for two seconds, and then laughed, and it was obvious that he was happy for him from the bottom of his heart. "Among the generals who vigorously elected you, there is Andrei Balkonsky, who is the most active besides me. Of course, there are also a few generals who disagree......"

"Among them is General Neville of the United States, right?" Long Xingyi said with a word.

Shenchenhai smiled tacitly, noncommittal, and continued: "The main reason is the cause of the 'Judgment Day'. This issue is still being investigated by the intelligence agencies and scientific and technological personnel of various countries, but because of your performance in the past few days, the heads of state have unanimously agreed to the decision to promote you. Congratulations, Brigadier General Long. ”

"Thank you, thank you! Thank you for your care! Thank you, Commander-in-Chief! Before Long Xingyi could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the Stygian Sea: "You don't need to tell me your acceptance speech, prepare well, don't embarrass the earthlings when you arrive at the Light Tower Star!" ”

Long Xingyi solemnly stood up and straightened, and saluted a standard military salute, "Guarantee to complete the mission!" ”

Shenchen Hai returned the salute, nodded, and then turned around and walked out as he spoke, "Take a good rest, the spaceship will be overhauled tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow we will set off for the Light Tower Star." You can go to the logistics department tomorrow to sign up for your uniform, and the specific job title is waiting for you to ......" The voice gradually faded away.

Long Xingyi hadn't recovered from the good news just now, and he forgot to send the Stygian Sea out for a while, and stood in place for a long time before he suddenly remembered the rude act just now. But it was already late, and the Underworld Sea had already gone away, Long Xingyi had no choice but to shrug his shoulders helplessly, his shoulders were sore, and then he remembered the "coolies" he had done during the day, and quickly washed up and went to bed.

Early the next morning, Yin Yuting happily knocked on Long Xingyi's door, and Long Xingyi thought that he might have come to congratulate him on his promotion! He opened the door and welcomed her in.

"My rank is set! I just received a PC notification this morning, I am now in the rank of captain, so I should be considered an exceptional promotion! Could it be due to my uncle? Alas, who knows! Hey, you performed so well before, did you get a promotion notice? Before Yin Yuting could speak, she said a lot of things.

"Cut, official fan! I haven't been notified yet. Long Xingyi said half-jokingly in a contemptuous tone, but before the words fell, his PC Wolong prompted: "You have an email." ”

"Quick, quick, projection! I'm glad with you, maybe it's a major or something! Yin Yuting shouted happily, but her eyes had already begun to stare at Long Xingyi's wrist.

Long Xingyi actually knew his arrangement for a long time, shook his head helplessly, pointed the PC at the wall, and said, "Projection it." ”

"In view of Long Xingyi's outstanding performance during the 'Judgment Day' and the Tuttu invasion, after deliberation by the Star Alliance Committee, it was unanimously decided to promote Long Xingyi to the rank of brigadier general and confer honorary titles." Underneath the notice on the wall, the badge of the Covenant Committee is clearly displayed.

Yin Yuting looked at the notice and was stunned for ten seconds before two words popped out of her mouth: "Brigadier General? ”

"The Commander-in-Chief told me last night." Long Xingyi also looked at the notice on the wall and said, "But he didn't say anything about the honorary title." ”

"Counting the honorary title, you should be considered a general by now." Yin Yuting looked at him sideways and said in disbelief. "Lei Ling made a great contribution at the beginning and was exceptionally promoted to colonel, and now you are higher than his original military rank, and the future is just around the corner, and the future is immeasurable!"

"Hey, hey! The times make heroes. Long Xingyi couldn't help but feel a little proud when he heard Yin Yuting's praise.

Yin Yuting said with a little envy and hatred: "Let's go, go to the logistics department to get the uniform!" Big heroes. ”

Yin Yuting and Long Xingyi found the logistics department according to the base navigation instructions and entered the door, but Long Xingyi was dumbfounded. In his eyes, the army should be uniform and disciplined, but the logistics department in front of him was disorganized, and the soldiers were giggling and playing cards and chatting, which was completely a hodgepodge of courtyard houses.

"Usually, there are very few high-ranking generals to inspect the moon base, so ...... Military discipline is a bit untidy. Yin Yuting saw Long Xingyi's surprise and explained for him.

The two walked to the garment collection area, where an old brown-haired officer was smoking a cigarette and drinking alcohol, leaning in a chair and watching the television projected on the wall. When Long Xingyi approached, he could tell from the epaulettes on his uniform hanging on the back of his chair that it was a sergeant.

The sergeant squinted at the two of them and asked, "Uniform?" Long Xingyi nodded. The sergeant sat up straight as if reluctantly, and said two words: "Sign up!" ”

"Yin Yuting." Yin Yuting stepped forward and replied nervously.

"Yin Yuting......" The sergeant didn't raise his eyes, lowered his head and searched for the screen, "Ah, this, captain...... Women's uniforms. As he spoke, he pressed a button on the screen, and the huge wardrobe like a filing cabinet behind him sounded a mechanical sound, and then a large cardboard box was packed and pushed out of the shipping port.

The sergeant cocked his thumb and pointed behind him, signaling that Yin Yuting could go to get the uniform, and then asked Long Xingyi without raising his eyes: "What about you?" ”

Long Xingyi felt a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn't have a good seizure, so he had to reply according to the rules: "Long Xingyi." ”

The sergeant said with a frown as he typed pinyin on the keyboard, "Long Xingyi...... Why is it so familiar? Long Xingyi ......"

When the screen showed Long Xingyi's information, the sergeant propped his elbows on the table and read weakly: "Long Xingyi...... Brigadier...... Brigadier? Seeing this word, he was so frightened that he quickly took out the cigarette in his hand, pushed the empty beer can on the table to the ground, stood up on the ground, and saluted the young brigadier general in front of him.

Long Xingyi also returned the salute and said, "Where's my uniform?" ”

"Oh!" The sergeant hurriedly clicked on the screen, and the machine behind him picked out Long Xingyi's full uniform, packed it, and pushed it out in the same way.

The sergeant personally turned around, picked up the cardboard box, and put it in front of Long Xingyi, "Report to the chief!" Your uniforms are here! ”

The soldiers playing cards behind Long Xingyi saw the sergeant's abnormal movement, and they all came up to see the young man's rank, and then they were all dumbfounded, standing in place, and the whispers of "It's him ......" came from time to time in the crowd.

"The army doesn't look like an army!" Long Xingyi whispered, then picked up the cardboard box and walked out of the messy logistics hall with Yin Yuting.

"What a majesty, Brigadier General." Yin Yuting walked out of the logistics department and said jokingly. Long Xingyi just smiled and didn't speak shyly.

The two were walking, and someone behind them suddenly stopped Long Xingyi. Long Xingyi looked back and saw that it was General Andre. Long Xingyi put down the cardboard box and gave a military salute to General Andre. Before, his military rank was undecided, and the identity of the officer was not clear, but now that he has officially enlisted in the army, he saluted in accordance with the regulations of the army.

Andrei Balkonsky returned the salute and jokingly said: "How is it, my young friend? Brigadier General, young and promising! You deserve it. If Pauvrusha is still alive, I will also apply to the committee to promote him to two or three levels! ”

Long Xingyi said respectfully: "Commander Hades told me, thank you for your trust and care for me. ”

"Friend, it should be done!" Andrei said, one hand groping for something in his pocket, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Ah! That's it. As he spoke, he pulled out two rings from his pocket.

Why? Propose to me? This foreigner can't take a fancy to me and want to come out with me, right? Long Xingyi's eyes widened and he thought.

Andrei said to him with a pleasant face: "I know you are from the past, let me explain to you, this is a pair of combat gloves." I saw that you had a good boxing before, and asked our scientific research department to customize it for you. It protects your hands and wrists and increases the power of your fists. Although it doesn't protect your whole body like a mecha, it can also fire small laser projectiles, which has a lot of functions and is easy to carry, because it is not yet registered, so it is not easy to be detected by security detectors. Moreover...... I think you like to travel light, too. Hope it will be useful to you in the future. As he spoke, he playfully squeezed his eyes at Long Xingyi.

Oh, it's not a marriage proposal, then I'll accept it with confidence. Long Xingyi thanked Andre, then took the ring and put it directly on his hands.

Andre exchanged a few more pleasantries, then turned to leave. Yin Yuting sighed beside Long Xingyi: "The popularity is good! It's all in tune with the higher-ups, Brigadier General. ”

Long Xingyi smiled and said, "Can you not call me 'Brigadier General'?" It sounds awkward. ”

"Yes! You have the final say, big hero. Yin Yuting jokingly rolled her eyes and said.

As soon as the two of them turned around, they saw General Neville walking in the distance.

"Got a new uniform?" Neville looked at the cardboard box at Long Xingyi's feet, "Congratulations, Mr. Long Xingyi, but as a senior, I have to remind you that when you enter the army, you must abide by the law even more, and the army is not allowed to have any stains...... Of course, there are some things that we haven't looked into yet, and I'm not sure if the committee's decision was wise......"

"I will, thank you." Long Xingyi interrupted him and saluted. Neville Jackson also returned the salute, politely stepping aside and letting Long Xingyi and the others walk past him.

"I retract what I just said, your popularity...... Debatable. Yin Yuting grimaced and said.

Back at the officer's apartment, Long Xingyi looked at the time, it was already past noon, and said to Yin Yuting: "The spaceship is under maintenance, and it will leave tomorrow, go and prepare, eldest miss!" ”

"Yes! Sir. Yin Yuting said half-jokingly, and then went back to her room.

Long Xingyi also returned to his room, opened the cardboard box, took out his uniform and tried again and again, looking left and right in the mirror, very satisfied. What will tomorrow look like? He didn't know. Where is the crisis hiding? He didn't know either.
