9. The reply of the Hebei Department
Not long after, the frigate named "Zhiyuan" began to slow down, and Wu Mei, who was still standing there in a daze, was awakened by the system prompt, she sat back in the driver's seat and fixed her body with a seat belt.
At this time, the figure of this azure planet has filled the entire screen.
After being approved by the ground air traffic control, the prompt sound of the battleship's piloting system began to count down to the "black barrier": 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5...
With the sound of the confirmation sound, the battleship entered the planetary airspace from the vacuum through the outer edge of the hard wall-like atmosphere at a speed of thousands of meters per second.
However, the meter data in front of them fluctuated very much at this moment, especially the temperature data became red and eye-catching.
That's because the battleship is rubbing violently against the atmosphere, and forming a layer of high-temperature plasma gas on the hull that isolates all communication from the outside world, and this five-minute silence is called a "black barrier".
Wu Mei immediately turned off the light brain that was broken in front of her, and then raised her head again, at this time, the scenery on the battleship's external screen was changing, a large area of the ocean and the land in the ocean, islands, etc. gradually disappeared behind them, and the dividing line between light and darkness continued to approach them as the height of the battleship decreased.
Gradually, they finally entered the night of Xuchang.
Looking at the beautiful scenery under the two bright satellites, even Wu Mei, who was depressed, couldn't help but marvel, her voice alarmed Colonel Zhiyuan in the main command position, Captain Ding Feng, a mid-life officer in his thirties, Ding Feng looked down at the young intern.
He didn't understand why his superiors sent such a delicate second-class student to transition his own warship, especially from the Air Force Command Department, and he frowned because he had deliberately ignored the other party since he boarded the ship.
The other captains in the driver's seat also looked dissatisfied, Wu Mei, who violated the rules, was startled, she hurriedly packed her things and prepared to get off the ship, and at the same time thought that fortunately, after arriving in Xuchang, her "internship" on the ship was over.
She had had enough of the indifferent treatment these days here, and Wu Mei didn't want to stay for a minute.
And the two sides are like this, that is a historical relationship, although the navy and air force in the interstellar era should have belonged to the same branch of the military a long time ago, but no one wants to be swallowed by anyone, so the two factions are distinct.
The Air Force called the navy "the sampan that can never be found in the north", and sarcastically said that the navy loses its sense of direction as soon as it takes to the sky.
The navy refers to the Air Force in a very detailed manner, with the male surname being "Flower Skirt" and the female surname being "Flower Pants", which means that the Air Force is full of sissies from top to bottom, or all men's wives.
If she had a choice, Wu Mei would definitely not take a navy warship.
The closer it gets, the more tormented it feels, and finally, the battleship landed smoothly at the base of the Xuchang Military Region, as soon as the system prompt sounded, Wu Mei couldn't wait to stand up, and at the same time, Ding Feng's voice sounded: "Lieutenant Wu Mei." ”
"Here."
Ding Feng handed her the internship evaluation he had signed a long time ago, and said with a straight face: "In view of your last gaffe, your grade can only be B+, do you have any objection to this?" ”
b+? Wu Mei looked at the worst result in her life, and she was already in a bad mood, she looked at Ding Feng aggrievedly, and Ding Feng raised her eyebrows: "Do you have any objections?" ”
There was silence in the cockpit, but Wu Mei could feel the smile in the hearts of those people, Wu Mei gritted her teeth, puffed up her chest and looked directly at Ding Feng: "There is an objection to the lowly position, according to the regulations of the internship code, a gaffe when the battleship enters the automatic driving mode can only be deducted one point at most, and the commander will be deducted two points." ”
After being stunned for a while, Ding Feng immediately lowered his head and changed it to B-, he asked with a straight face, "Do you still have any objections now?" ”
What the?
Wu Mei looked at him in surprise, she couldn't imagine that the other party was so reckless, she blushed in anger and said loudly: "If you have any objections, answer the chief's question and put forward your own opinion, why do you deduct another point, please explain the reason for the deduction." ”
Ding Feng was completely stunned, and several naval captains actually looked like they were watching a good show, Ding Feng, who has always been strict, is a very buddy commander in private, and their relationship with him is like a brother, and now seeing that Ding Feng was pushed there by a girl from the air force department, this group of guys actually gloated in their hearts.
"Please explain the reason for the deduction of points, sir."
When the girl who was silent all the way questioned again, Ding Feng, who was only thirty years old, felt very embarrassed, he just wanted to tease this beautiful girl of the Air Force Department slightly before he got rid of it, presumably she would cry her nose and never forget me for the rest of her life, right? Ha ha.
Outcome...
If Huo Chenggong was here, he would definitely say that Ding Feng was simply looking for death, Wu Mei's surname was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, even if Zhang Zizhong was a senior officer, he was often deflated, not to mention that he was a small colonel of a different department?
"Excuse me, sir." Seeing that he didn't squeak, Wu Mei asked again.
Ding Feng, who was forced into a corner, glared at her, but the beautiful girl's eyes burned with anger and refused to let go of a single step, which made Ding Feng look a little empty, he could only lower his head in the end, change an A stupidly, and then throw it to Wu Mei.
a? Wu Mei looked at him.
Ding Feng was annoyed and angry, he looked at Wu Mei: "Do you still want an A+?" ”
"Hmph."
Wu Mei, who had achieved her goal, faced Ding Feng's appearance, she showed pride in her heart, and ignored the other party anymore, picked up the official bag and was about to leave.
Seeing that she didn't give a military salute and left like this, Ding Feng immediately shouted: "Stop me, you seem to have forgotten what to do." ”
"Do what?"
Wu Mei turned her head and looked at him blankly, and then raised the evaluation in her hand, which seemed to be ignorant but was actually ridiculing this naval imbecile who failed to flirt with girls, and then it seemed to be suddenly.
She smiled and said: "Thanks to the care of the chief, I gave a grade of the lowly post against my will, and the humiliation was grateful, and the chief shouted the humble, did you want the humiliation to invite the chief to drink a cup of coffee." ”
“……”
"I seem to be a little shy, sir."
Ding Feng's old face was flushed, and his adjutants burst into laughter, Wu Mei smiled even more proudly when she saw this, she threw a white eye to Ding Feng, and proudly left the command room, when she walked out of the door, Ding Feng's adjutant Gan Ning shouted: "Hey, are you still on our ship when you turn around?" ”
"Who knows."
"Hey, we're starting to like you."
"Me too." Wu Mei waved her hand without looking back, passed through a group of stunned sentinels and walked into the elevator.
Ding Feng's roar immediately sounded in the command room: "A bunch of bastards, what are you talking about, lose the face of our navy." ”
"Sir, it's not us who backtracked today." Gan Ning said lazily, the adjutants continued to laugh, and Ding Feng himself laughed: "A bunch of bastards, I just grabbed the handle for her." ”
"Sir, that girl is really good, do you like it?"
Ding Feng shook his head, he went to check the time, although it was half past three in the morning on April 2, local time, but the latitude and longitude of the planet where the military base was located were different from theirs, according to their usual routine, it was only half past two in the afternoon of the previous day, Ding Feng waved his hand: "Let's go find some fun." ”
At this time, Wu Mei had already passed the security check of the base, and when she saw Li Ben, the national defense captain standing opposite, she smiled.
"Lieutenant Wu, you must be very tired from such a long journey, so you can rest and rest when you get here." Li Ben deliberately said with a straight face.
As he spoke, he looked at the slim girl in front of him who had unconsciously fallen out.
Dressed in a straight dark blue air force lieutenant uniform, Wu Mei's lining is more energetic.
Wu Mei was stunned for a moment and immediately glared at the other party dissatisfied, but at the same time, she also used a businesslike tone: "Thank you, Captain Li, I arrived too early, it's really troublesome for you." ”
"No trouble, no trouble."
Looking at this girl's serious appearance, Li Ben still couldn't hold back, he laughed: "We haven't seen each other for more than a year, how did we become angry." ”
"Oh, it seems that Captain Li was polite first." Wu Mei said.
Li Ben was dumbfounded, he shook his head: "Really, oh, I heard at the command platform that it was a naval warship that just arrived, how about it, did those guys embarrass you on the way, if you are embarrassed, I will ask my brothers to beat him." ”
There is a reason why Dai Zhenduo asked Li Ben to pick up Wu Mei, because they grew up in a military region, their parents are close friends, and the elders also used to match them, but Li Ben thinks that this is no different from [***].
"It's okay, when you left, you gave me an A."
"Huh? Who is their captain? So easy to talk to. ”
Wu Mei smiled silently, and she said, "Colonel Ding Feng." ”
"It's Ding Feng's battleship, this guy has been promoted again?" Li Ben felt even more strange: "This guy will give you A? This guy." ”
Li Ben felt as if he was still unfinished, and said this guy again, Wu Mei couldn't help but be strange, under her inquiry, Li Ben smiled and said: "Ding Feng, this guy is said to be a hardliner in the navy, he has always pursued the doctrine of giant ships and cannons, he has some skills, and his family background is good, so he looks down on others, and the last time he came to Xuchang, his soldiers had a dispute with a friend of mine." After suffering a loss, this guy brought a group of adjutants out, you say, the lieutenant colonel actually came out to fight, and there is really a problem with the tutor in the navy. ”
Wu Mei asked curiously, "Really?" And what did you say later? ”
"How? Is the navy fighting with pilots, not to mention that there is a guy in our national defense who is particularly powerful, by the way, he has been to your side for further study, and he won the first place in the preparatory selection last year, his name is Zhang Zizhong, do you know? ”
"Ahh Wu Mei screamed, and hurriedly covered up: "I know, I'm not familiar, what's going on." ”
"Not really, huh." Li Ben swallowed the words to his lips again, and then roughly talked about the process.
When Wu Mei heard him say that Ding Feng thought he was very sure to take off his military uniform and said that he didn't care about his military rank today, and then he was beaten by Zhang Zizhong and couldn't find the north, although she hated that bastard very much, she still couldn't help but let out a crisp laugh.
She couldn't help but say, "That guy won't suffer." ”
Li Ben heard her describe Zhang Zizhong in such a tone, and couldn't help but look at her strangely, Wu Mei felt it, she turned her head as if nothing happened, looked at the scenery on the side of the road at night, and continued casually: "Then what about them." ”
But she herself felt a little hot in her face.
"Later?" Li Ben shrugged: "Who knows how they became friends." ”
"They're friends?"
Wu Mei felt that it was really strange between men, and people who fought together could become friends, but why did a guy like Zhang Zizhong who caused trouble everywhere have so many friends, although he also had many enemies.
She fell silent, Li Ben thought she was tired, so she stopped talking, turned on the music casually, and then continued to drive, not long after he found that Wu Mei was looking at him, Li Ben asked wonderingly, "What's wrong?" ”
"Am I not pretty?"
"Huh?" Li Ben hurriedly stabilized the steering wheel, he glanced at Wu Mei in puzzlement, Wu Mei also looked at him seriously, and some slender eyes were very crystalline.
"Am I not pretty?" Wu Mei asked again.
"What do you mean? Wait, you're not going to fall in love and then be rejected by someone, right? Who is so blind that they dare to look down on my sister? Li Ben immediately set the car to the automatic driving system, and then tried to look at Wu Mei seriously.
Wu Mei didn't squeak, which surprised Li Ben, who was still joking, he looked at Wu Mei in surprise, and said in disbelief: "Is it true?" Who is it. ”
"No, oops, not what you think."
“… And you're because of me? I'm sorry, you know, I've always treated you like a sister. ”
"Get out." Wu Mei scolded with tears and laughter.
But she understood that Li Ben was the person she really could rely on besides her parents, and seeing Li Ben continue to make an injured appearance in order to make herself happy, Wu Mei couldn't help but pinch him and said hatefully: "Pretend." ”
"Then you tell me who that guy is, how can I not want it, and he doesn't want it."
"You."
But suddenly, because of these words, Wu Mei's eyes turned red, she bit her lip and was about to open the door, but Li Ben hurriedly grabbed her: "I said something wrong, I said something wrong." ”
"You let go."
"Don't let go."
"It's Zhang Zizhong."
"What?" Li Ben was shocked, he felt something was wrong just now, and he couldn't imagine that the idea he thought was cranky for a moment was true.
But at this time, Wu Mei told everything in a tone that she felt calm, and Li Ben realized that the arrogant girl was really impressed by that guy, and Zhang Zizhong didn't do anything, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The two of us are really hard, both are chasing people's lives, and we don't want to be so handsome and promising." ”
"Go."
"There are two pieces of news, one good and one bad."
"He's got a girlfriend?"
"The good news is that he has indeed been on a mission recently, and the stakes are very high, and it is personally in charge of the principal and Director Dai, and I don't know too specific details, so there is a reason for his coldness yesterday."
"So what about this bastard who blocked me yesterday."
"Ahem."
Wu Mei didn't ask Zhang Zizhong's girlfriend again, and Li Ben changed the topic and talked about the recent changes in national defense, a series of changes, when Wu Mei heard that there was a newcomer who even broke the national defense record and the federal record, Wu Mei was also very surprised.
"What's his name? Who taught him. ”
Still can't avoid it, Li Ben sighed in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Huo Chenggong, Zhang Zizhong taught." ”
"Really?" Wu Mei fell silent again.
The car drove quietly like this, and when it was only thirty kilometers away from the national defense, Li Ben suddenly said: "How long are you going to be here?" ”
"The specific situation is not clear, until your school anniversary, my father asked me to follow Director Dai's instructions."
"Well, if there's anything that doesn't go well, just look for me, with me, that guy won't be too presumptuous at least." But Li Ben was thinking, it's almost impossible for you to meet Zhang Zizhong, that guy shouldn't have come up recently.
Wu Mei didn't know what he was thinking, she hummed in a low voice.
And when they arrived at the academy, Dai Zhenduo, who got up early, was already waiting for them in the office, watching Wu Mei coming, Dai Zhenduo smiled and bowed his head, motioned for her to sit down, and asked, "Director Wu is okay lately." ”
He inquired about Wu Mei's father, Wu Chengde, director of the Logistics and Equipment Department of the Military Department, a backbone of the Hebei department.
Wu Mei hurriedly stood up and said very good.
Dai Zhenduo said with a smile: "Sit, the last time I saw you was the year before last, it was with Li Ben, Xiao Wu Mei is getting more and more beautiful." ”
Li Ben stood aside and pulled his mouth disdainfully, Dai Zhenduo saw it, and he pointed at Li Ben: "Get out." ”
Wu Mei laughed, and after Li Ben went out in a gloomy manner, Dai Zhenduo scolded: "This guy, don't be like him, he dares to bully you, you tell your uncle, your uncle demoted him to a second lieutenant, and he will salute you when he sees you in the future." ”
Wu Mei nodded again and again, looking at Director Dai in front of her, she had respect from the bottom of her heart.
Because he is a figure that her father has always admired, Wu Mei still remembers that her father said such a sentence to describe Dai Zhenduo, he said: Dai Zhenduo is a person who has accumulated a lot of money, and he can't disperse the national defense with him.
And her father also said before her departure this time: Ben'er can learn half of Dai Zhenduo's skills, and with our help, a general can't run away.
Thinking of this, she said, "Li Ben is here, and Director Dai has taken care of him, and Uncle Li wants me to say hello to you on his behalf." ”
The Uncle Li she said is, of course, Li Ben's father, the senior counselor of the Second Office of the General Staff, an alternative who was born in the national defense department but can get along with the Hebei department and is not excluded at all.
Hearing this, Dai Zhenduo waved his hand indifferently: "It's his kid who works his own, I don't think Li Mengcai will say such a thing, it must be a girl, you make your own decisions." ”
Seeing that Wu Mei was a little embarrassed, Dai Zhenduo laughed heartily: "I've been friends with his father for nearly thirty years, and I don't know him yet?" ”
"Really?"
"Isn't it strange, I'm a classmate with his father, I'm afraid Li Ben doesn't know this, hehe, his mother was introduced by me, but this father and son are both stubborn surnames, a cold war is five or six years, the last time I took him to your house, this kid didn't go home."
"Huh."
"Okay, let's not talk about that, your father asked you to bring me something this time."
Wu Mei took off her terminal, entered the password to open the file, she handed it to Dai Zhenduo, Dai Zhenduo immediately entered the light brain and then opened it to look carefully, Wu Mei, who had been quietly observing him, gradually saw the excited look on the other party's face.
Just when she was surprised, Dai Zhenduo closed his eyes and pondered for a while, rubbed his forehead, and said, "Come, you can take a look too." ”
As he spoke, he turned the screen of the light brain to Wu Mei.
She only saw one line of the document: We deeply agree with your school's proposal, and now I order Lieutenant Wu Mei to reply first, and temporarily stay at your school to wait for follow-up instructions...
In such a fog, Wu Mei looked a little puzzled, Dai Zhenduo looked at her and then turned back to the light brain to look, and said embarrassedly: "Look at me." ”
He flipped the file upwards.
Wu Mei finally saw the proposal, and the two sides will have in-depth exchanges on mecha design and battleship design. Since the Hebei Department and General Xu have discussed the matter, and Wu Mei will not leave for the time being, Dai Zhenduo explained to her: "Our school will cooperate with the Hebei Military Academy in the research of mechas, and will reopen the warship command system in the National Defense Machinery Academy." ”
As if the shock was not enough, Dai Zhenduo said: "The Hellfire Company will also carry out asset restructuring with the Ranger Company, and agree to the Hebei Department to take shares, of course, all this is only done in secret first." ”
Hellfire and Ranger are two well-known arms companies in the Federation, one is an established mecha design company with national defense shares, and the other is a military industry controlled by the defense department of the Air Force Equipment Department, but the Ranger company's main research is only in small fighters.
That was also due to the fact that the defense was quite heavy in the past.
However, it seems that national defense is about to blossom in an all-round way, but Wu Mei, who is from the Hebei department, saw such a document, and she couldn't help asking: "Hellfire and the Rangers both agree to the Hebei system to take shares?" Isn't that a loss for national defense? ”
"National defense is better than mechas, Hebei is better than warships, take what you need." Dai Zhenduo said with a smile.
Wu Mei, who knew that she was speechless, stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, she has always been stronger in front of people, and only in front of a brother like Li Ben and an elder like Dai Zhenduo who was respected by her father, she was more like a lovely girl.
"Okay, Li Ben come in, you can help her arrange it first, and if you need anything, you can contact me directly."
"Thank you, sir." Wu Mei hurriedly said.
Dai Zhenduo likes this girl very much, especially just now when she actually spoke for the Department of National Defense, so he added: "Wu Mei, don't hesitate to mention any requests, it's like being at home here, don't be polite." ”
Wu Mei hesitated, Li Ben felt that it was wrong, but before he could remind him, Wu Mei had already opened her mouth, and Wu Mei asked, "Uncle Dai, can I really make a request?" ”
Of course Dai Zhenduo said yes, could he say no, but at this moment, even if Dai Zhenduo looked at the cunning flashing in this girl's eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, what did she want to do? After coming in, he called my uncle for the first time, and this change in detail made Dai Zhenduo's smile a little unnatural.
Wu Mei saw it, and she smiled sweetly: "Uncle Dai is very nervous." ”
Li Ben tried hard to keep a straight face, but Dai Zhenduo didn't like him no matter how he looked at him, at this time Wu Mei said: "Uncle Dai, I heard Li Ben say that one of my classmates from the command department is on a mission. ”
Now Li Ben's face turned white, this is the army, he didn't dare to really inquire about Wu Mei's mission all the way, and Wu Mei is so ambiguous.
Sure enough, Dai Zhenduo glanced at him quietly, but Wu Mei's continued words interrupted Dai Zhenduo's doubts, and Wu Mei said: "But Li Ben didn't tell me what it was, he only said that I wouldn't see him for the time being, I thought, can I." ”
"What are you talking about?"
"Zhang Zizhong."
Li Ben Khan came down again, this girl...
"Oh, it's not that serious, you can meet him." Dai Zhenduo's smile this time was very natural, but he was surprised by Li Ben's strange appearance at this time, and then he saw Wu Mei glaring at Li Ben angrily.
Dai Zhenduo couldn't help but explain to Li Ben: "Of course he can't tell you if you can see him, you want to see him?" ”
"Well, there's something I want to ask him."
How did poor Dai Zhenduo know that it was a matter of children? Dai Zhenduo immediately instructed Li Ben: "I want Zhang Zizhong to come out once tomorrow." ”
"Yes."
"Thank you, sir."
The two of them immediately retreated, and after Li Ben went out, he glared at Wu Mei angrily: "Are you crazy?" I told you he had a girlfriend. ”
"You have to ask before you die." Wu Mei said in a low voice.
At this time, she no longer had the vigor in it, and even she was a little apprehensive and regretful, just when she wanted to regret it, Li Ben sighed and said: "It's okay, these things have to be decided by yourself." ”
"Yes."
When she walked into the elevator, Wu Mei suddenly said, "You are not allowed to tell anyone." ”
"Why, I'm also a poor person who is ignored by others." Li Ben sighed with emotion, and was immediately punched and kicked by Wu Mei: "Who was ignored by him, I came to settle accounts with him this time, you see that I will pay attention to him in the future." ”
Li Ben smiled faintly, thinking that it would be strange if he believed you.
