Chapter 5: The Guardianship of Two Persons

"You know to come here, too?"

The heroic girl was still dressed in a straight military uniform, she looked up from the pile of cases, and glanced angrily at the young man who broke in without even knocking on the door, and said.

Lannie, who was standing beside her, greeted her with a smile and poured the young man a cup of tea.

"You know what I'm doing."

The young man sat down in front of the girl, and he smiled as he smelled the curling scent of tea.

"But you can take care of this side of the matter, right? Do you want me to come for anything? If it weren't for Vice President Yang and them to help me, I was so busy that I didn't even have time to go home to accompany Xing'er - I would be exhausted. ”

The girl gave the young man a white look with hatred.

……

"Oh, those who can work harder, why do you care so much? I'm not coming to see you, and by the way, I'm going to hear how the army is building -- how is it, my commander-in-chief? ”

The young man smiled again.

Hearing the young man's inquiry, the girl's expression suddenly became serious, she pulled a strand of messy hair from her ear behind her ear, thought about it sideways, but began to speak carefully.

"The army is fine, and the defense around the island has been deployed. For now, we are safe and secure, just waiting for you and His Highness Zeng to grow to the peak when we can counterattack the barbarians. ”

……

"But in terms of accumulating strength...... Our progress has been rather slow. At present, our external attack capability can be said to be blank -- the building of the navy and air force is quite slow. ”

"Although the Zhao military industrial group has almost moved here en masse, they are still just a group after all - we need more minerals, more workers with enough knowledge and skills to produce high-tech magic suits, enterprises, and so on."

"It's like the Dingbei formation. Their officers and soldiers have basically all come, but after all, the Dingbei formation is the property of the empire, and it is impossible for them to bring it over. However, a large-scale double empty mother formation like the Dingbei formation. It's not going to happen overnight. So they complained to me all day long, saying that they were landlubbers without boats - but what could I do? ”

The girl spread her hands helplessly.

……

"In fact, on the basis of Dingbei, the Magic Outfit Branch of the General Research Institute of Magic Energy has designed for us with the performance of the "Elemental Storm" class of the "East, West, South, South" class, and the carrying capacity and ocean-going adaptability have been significantly improved, but it is still on paper - in the newly built dock, the keel of the Frost and the Flame has only been laid, and it is also facing a serious shortage of skilled workers. ”

"I can't help this......"

When the young man heard this, he also smiled bitterly: "There are all kinds of waste to be revived, and we can only learn and build at the same time, so let's slow down, anyway, we are not in a hurry to develop external attack capabilities now-there is no high-level cooperation." That's useless except to go to the barren land and show off your might. ”

"And we have no plans to make a move on the Western Continent Kingdom in the short term - they don't even know about our existence, and our merchant ships have always thought that they came from the Elven Western Continent."

"yes, the point is that these things are a bit annoying."

The girl sighed and threw the pen on the table, her face full of bitterness.

……

Immediately, she seemed to think of something, but she became excited: "But I heard a report from the Equipment and Logistics Department yesterday that the Demonic Costume Academicians of the Magic Costume Branch of the General Research Institute of Magic Energy are studying those floating islands -- they are trying to design a new type of air carrier that does not rely on the surface of the sea, but relies on the air. ”

"It's a sight to behold. If there is such a magic costume, it almost always means that our war mode will be diversified to a higher level. At present, they are still in the stage of floating experiments. If you go to the Demonic Energy Academy, you can check it out, and maybe you can provide them with some ideas. ”

The girl said with great interest.

Immediately, she looked at the young man with some teasing: "Anyway." Isn't someone also an honorary member of the General Academy of Magical Energy Research? The invention of submarines and helicopters is highly praised by the magicians of the General Institute of Magical Energy Research. ”

She chuckled.

……

"I'm just fooling around......"

The young man suddenly looked embarrassed.

The girl wrinkled her nose.

"A certain 'Shain's Art' is the founder of the generation...... Flickers! Please keep going! ”

She squinted at the young man with disdain on her face, and Lanny was already laughing as she watched the two of them from the sidelines.

"Because of the relationship between the magic energy, this world should be built much faster than our land...... No. I mean, how long will it take for the Navy and Air Force to achieve the magic configuration? ”

The young man was full of embarrassment, and he almost missed his bottom and changed the topic in a panic.

……

"It's going to take at least a few years...... But we can produce as much as we can. Combat effectiveness slowly recovered over time. ”

The girl suddenly said uncertainly.

"That's fine, there haven't been any wars lately anyway...... Okay, the military department is controlled by you and Grandpa Yang, I'm relieved, I'll ...... That is, to see you. ”

The young man said suddenly.

"Come and see me?"

A blush suddenly appeared on the girl's face.

"Come and see me what? What do I have to look at? She asked softly.

……

"This ...... That's ...... question."

The young man was embarrassed again.

Immediately, he seemed to have an idea: "Come and see the family, didn't Ning'er say it when we worshiped my father that time?" We're all family. ”

He said with a smirk.

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, no skin and no face! Xing'er and Qi'er have been getting more and more skinless and faceless recently, don't be spoiled by you......"

The girl's face turned slightly red again, and she said with joy and resentment.

"What's my business?"

The young man suddenly shouted: "You also live in our house, most of him is brought by you, and even Qi Wang Shuang'er is because I am usually more strict with them, I prefer you to like me, and if I want to be affected, I should be affected by you--If you want me to say, they must be almost seven or eight years old and a dog is too old." ”

He argued in a succinct manner, but Lanny was already smiling and bent over.

……

"You're a dog, too!"

The girl also chuckled lightly with crescent eyes, and then, however, gave the young man a blank look again.

Then, she seemed to notice something: "I see each other at home every day, and I come to see me for some reason...... Nothing to do. Either traitor or theft. How? The sneaky operation of the Foreign Intelligence Agency of the National Security with my military Foreign Intelligence Agency is over? What the hell is going on? ”

She asked teasingly again.

The young man froze, but his expression quickly calmed down.

"This is a joint operation between the National Security Foreign Intelligence Agency and the Military Foreign Intelligence Agency, and you, as the commander-in-chief of the three service headquarters in charge of the country's military forces, should know about it."

He suddenly smiled bitterly.

……

"I will not be in the daytime, I will set off and go to the Elven West Continent with Brother Zeng. This time, I am here to learn about the situation of the army, and by the way, look at you, by the way...... Farewell to you, too. ”

After thinking about it, he said softly again.

The girl was also shocked when she heard this. Her smiling expression darkened, and she looked at the young man with great concern.

"That'...... You have to be careful. ”

After being silent for a long time, she suddenly stood up and walked to the opposite side of the young man, straightened the collar for the young man, and said softly.

"I will...... Girl...... Good bye? ”

The young man also looked at the girl silently, and after a slight silence, he suddenly opened his mouth and said in a questioning tone.

……

"Goodbye ......"

The girl's eyes were slightly red, and she lowered her head and whispered, the crystal phoenix in her hair and the shining gold star on the epaulettes of the straight military uniform. Adding a touch of softness and heroism to the girl, she looked down at her toes, not knowing what she was thinking.

The young man hesitated and reached out and stroked the girl's hair. He touched the shiny crystal phoenix again, adding a hint of blush to the girl's face. His lips quirmed, but eventually, he didn't say anything more. He patted the girl on the shoulder. He had turned and left.

……

"I'll miss your ......"

A soft murmur sounded behind him.

The young man's footsteps paused.

"Am I ...... Should I reply with 'me too'? ”

He suddenly looked hesitantly at Lanny, who was following him and sending him out.

"Fuck off!"

The commander-in-chief of the country's three armed forces suddenly became angry behind the young man who fled in embarrassment after asking that sentence, and she scolded angrily.

……

The young man seemed to be departing in disarray. Lanny's reluctantly happy laughter remained in the solemn office of the military chief at the same time as the girl's blushing face.

"Sir, aren't you worried about him?"

Lannie, who had finally finished laughing, stood side by side with the girl in front of the window, she looked at the back of the young man who hurriedly boarded the car, and suddenly looked at the girl strangely, and she asked softly.

"I can't help it......"

The girl sighed faintly, and she shook her head slightly.

……

"He was always like that, to his loved ones...... Do your best to protect it. ”

"Even, no matter who he is, no matter how important he is, no matter how precious his life is, no matter how precious he himself is - he will sacrifice everything for those people. Just like that time, he was in order to ...... Just like this time, he was for Sister Su. ”

The girl said softly, her eyes full of remembrance and sigh.

……

"He's not wrong, that's his responsibility, such a man is also a good man in my Huaxia."

And now, waiting at home for him to return triumphantly again, and to protect his country for him, too...... My responsibility. ”

"No matter what...... He thinks I'm just his chief of staff, his right-hand man -- and something else. ”

She sighed softly again, she looked at the convoy flying the Xie family flag under the military headquarters building and slowly started, and said softly.

The breeze blew through the girl's hair, and the sun gently shone through every corner of the room, and the girl and Lannie stood side by side looking at the young man in the distance.

Gradually, the girl's expression was full of reluctance, and even more solemn, and she returned to her desk, and buried herself again in the thick pile of cases, as if that was all she had. (To be continued......)
