VV took the elevator upstairs and stepped on the red carpet to find the office area of the Joint Staff Bench. The secretary of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info gave VV directions and taught her to find Staff Officer Li's office.

The office door was hidden. VV didn't stop, he went up and knocked lightly on the door, and reported in a clear voice: "Lieutenant Colonel Vitoleo Veneto of the Celestial Army of the Republic." ”

"Come in." Elder Li commanded.

Veneto pushed the door in, closed it again, and looked around the office. Although the building is old, the furnishings are exquisite. Staff Officer Li loves to raise flowers, there is a row of colorful peonies on the windowsill, the desk is next to the window, and the bookshelf is spliced, and the light is sprinkled on the back of Li Lao, who is immersed in work, and the flowers, books, and light are very sufficient, which is extremely pleasant. Veneto walked a few steps, stepped on the Bayi round carpet, and at his feet was the sandalwood glass coffee table, on which was a disassembled red robe and a pot of residual tea, and the small teacups were snuggled against the teapot by the stars, all clean.

The wall is plain and snow-white, hanging a few pieces of the chairman's calligraphy, a "Qinyuan Spring" hanging high, the words on it are dragons and phoenixes, and Veneto only knows one "spring" word.

Li Lao knew that Veneto had walked in, but he didn't look up, and after writing the last few words with a pencil, he took off his reading glasses, put them on the table, sorted out the documents, and said, "Drink tea and make it yourself." ”

Knowing that he wanted to drink tea, Veneto bent down and took the teapot to the door and poured the residual tea, flushed the pot, filled a pot of boiling water until it was half full, walked back, loosely pinched a pinch of tea from the big red robe and sprinkled it in the boiling water, and brought the plate to Li Lao.

Li Lao wiped his hands with a handkerchief, then looked up at Veneto, and said with a smile: "The uniform looks good on you, like the heroine of a science fiction movie." How about this uniform? Does it match the aesthetics of your young people? ”

Veneto gently dropped the plate on the table and nodded seriously: "I like it very much." ”

Li Lao narrowed his eyes with satisfaction: "That's good." After all, the Aerospace Forces are also born because of you. If it weren't for your successive victories, it would have been difficult for you to quickly establish the confidence of the various units in the Aerospace Forces. The color of this uniform was finalized by me, and the old man was relieved to see that you were not annoying. ”

Veneto estimated that the tea was almost ready, took the initiative to pour tea for the staff officer, bowed his head and said: "The white background color represents the navy, the embellished blue represents the air force, and the red painting of the cuffs and trouser line represents the unwavering adherence to the policy." And it looks good together, and to be honest, I'm a picky guy, but I can't fault it. ”

Staff Officer Li was very relieved, and was coaxed by the phrase "adhere to the principle and not waver," and was glad that the effort of the capital's military medical expert group for 48 hours was not in vain, and that he did not see the wrong person. Unlike those white-eyed wolves who can't be fed, VV still has a sense of belonging.

"Which do you think is suitable for the transformation of the Air Force or the Navy?" Li Lao asked knowingly.

Veneto poured himself tea, picked up a small cup and shook his head to blow cold, but before he had time to drink it, he raised his head and replied: "Even if I am not from the navy, I will choose the navy -- although the main force of the space force at present is the air and space fighters, which is suitable for selecting personnel from among the commanders and fighters of the air force, the strategic task of the air and space army group is not only to control the control of the universe in the low-earth orbit within 2,000 kilometers, but also to carry out interstellar colonization and space combat missions. And the universe is vast, the land is vast and the stars are sparse, like the boundless sea, and the only places that can anchor and replenish are scattered islands. Therefore, endurance and expeditionary expeditions are the main problems of the Celestial Army, which coincide with the naval fleet. Therefore, experienced naval commanders and fighters and mature naval strategic thinking are more suitable for the transformation to the space army, develop a more reasonable theory of interstellar warfare, and avoid detours. ”

Li Lao stroked his palms and laughed: "Who taught you!" The head of the word is the Tao, can you read the mind? ”

Veneto sipping tea: "The uniform is based on white and embellished with blue, and your thoughts are already clear. When sipping gently, his sparkling eyes looked at Li Lao calmly, indicating that he was not enough to worry about.

Staff Officer Li smiled and exhaled, took off his hat, stroked the soft white hair with his palm, lay down in the chair to rest, looked at Veneto with satisfaction and said, "Your strength is on par with the battle concubines of the Wolong base, which once made it difficult for the staff to choose. But I like you more, your consciousness is higher, and your mentality is more stable; In you, I see the qualities of the legendary team of the last century. ”

Old Li's expression gradually changed, he squinted at Veneto, frowned and muttered: "That trait is hope." It is the hope of turning the tide when the country is overturned and the nation is hanging; the hope of fighting in the north and south in the dark quagmire and saving the hot land from fire and water; Hope for victory before the disparity between friend and foe. Today's situation seems to be calm, but in fact the dark tide is turbulent, and it is more dangerous than during the Manchu restoration. The crisis of the past was fragmented, and the crisis today is complete annihilation. ”

Veneto put down his teacup and listened carefully to the staff officer's emotion.

The corners of Li Lao's mouth tightened, he crossed his ten fingers, locked his eyebrows and groaned for a second, as if convincing himself, and his tone became conclusive: "The power of the universe and the material revolution are the last hope of the republic. And I want you to bear all this, because I can't trust anyone else. Veneto, are you willing to fight for the Chinese Republic? ”

Veneto saw the corners of Li Lao's mouth twitching involuntarily, and his withered lips were trembling slightly. She realized that at this time, she had to tell the truth.

"Pardon my offense, the collective good cannot prevail over the will of the individual. Otherwise, it's totalitarian collectivism. Veneto said stubbornly.

Old Li's expression darkened. As if he had been slashed, he frowned painfully, lowered his head against his forehead, closed his eyes and muttered: "Because of Wei Xu, I didn't want to choose you." But that girl at the Wolong base is too weak - and you're different. When I saw you at my bedside, I had this idea in my heart. I see that even when you are dying, even in your weakest moments, you are as strong as a calm duchess. You are the perfect person for the big task in my heart, but I didn't expect that I convinced myself and the chief, but I couldn't convince you......"

Li Lao didn't even notice that he sighed.

"I just like to be honest." VV seemed to have forgotten how hard Zhuang Yan guessed her mind: "I'm such a person." I'm not going to do things with a shout of 'Long live XX'. But I will fight to the death for the sake of those around me, because if they are tortured, I will also suffer the pain of empathy; If they're safe, I'll have time to worry about myself. So I can't help but fight for you, for him, for everyone I know; In order to prevent everyone from being harmed, I will accept all tasks, endure all tortures, and use my strength to the limit, so that I will not regret even if I fail. So yes, I'm willing to fight on my back. ”

Li Lao looked up tremblingly, saw VV looking at himself calmly, his red lips burst, and spit out a sentence that Li Lao dreamed of: "I will willingly fight with my life." Not for the people of the Chinese Republic, but for the people of the Chinese Republic. ”

The elderly staff officer almost burst into tears, his face was as angry as yellow paper, his lips trembled, his fingers trembled and he raised his head, and pointed at the stubborn Veneto tremblingly, his teeth chattered, and he was angry for a long time before he scolded out happily: "You little girl! Want to scare my heart attack? I thought you were stupid enough to reject me, and your body was cold just now! ”

Veneto was scolded so much that he couldn't hold his face, and he turned his head a little uncomfortably, scratched his cheek with his index finger, his eyes drifted away, and he muttered persistently: "Such an important matter, of course I want to make my thoughts clear." I don't want to pretend to be a hot-blooded young man. ”

Li Lao excitedly pushed away the chair and stood up, went over to hold Veneto's little hand tightly, and clapped the board angrily: "What I want is your truth, if you dig out your heart!" Your words are more reliable than any oath, and the old man has decided to bet the treasure on you, buy and leave, and you have no way to regret it! ”

"I have approved my love license with Zhuang Yan!" Veneto woke up and immediately began to ask for a lot of money. Without hesitation. Be decisive and brave. Determined as if grandpa Guan reached out for money.

Li Lao thought for a while, Veneto had the audacity to say "not for the people of the Chinese Republic, but for the people of the Chinese Republic", so agreeing to her request is like the emperor giving the general Mei Ji, which will have the effect of boosting morale, and it is also a kind of investment.

"The next time you make a meritorious service, I will give you approval." Staff Officer Li decided to use men to boost morale.

"Send me a mission." Veneto couldn't wait. (To be continued.) )
