CHAPTER XVIII
The two commanders quietly watched as the ensigns scrambled to board the transport plane, and after a while, after all the transport planes had taken off, Qina cautiously asked Linasha, "Sir, is this self-propelled gunboat really useful?" ”
Linasha looked at the transport plane in the distance, sighed and said, "I don't know, it's decided by the military department." With that, Linatha turned around and walked towards the interior of the base, with Chyna following closely.
Back in the command room, Linasha took the coffee made by Qina, took a sip, and said: "Those guys in the military department think that the cost of developing 100 S-class warships is too huge, and at the same time, there are not so many senior commanders, so they came up with this kind of self-propelled gunboat. A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Linasha's mouth and continued: "They say that this self-propelled cannon has the power of the main gun of an S-class battleship, and the price of making 10,000 ships is the same as building 2 S-class warships, which is simply cheap and good. Hum! What do you say that the power of 10,000 self-propelled gunboats is equal to the firepower of 200 S-class warships, what only needs a second lieutenant to be the commander, and when the time comes, all the second lieutenants of the Federation Army will be equipped with this kind of warship, and the force of the Federation Army will be proud of the universe. ”
Chyna guessed something from Linasha's tone and looked at Linatha in surprise. Linasha saw Qina's appearance, nodded and said, "As you think, this is the first time this self-propelled gunboat has been used, to put it simply, our mission this time is to test the ability of this battleship." ”
"Is war about to break out?" Qina asked, suppressing her throbbing mood.
"Well, according to intelligence, the two mysterious fleets of the Silver Eagle Empire on the border have been stationed there for a week or two, and with the original garrison, the strength of the Silver Eagle Empire on the border has reached 120,000. Although they haven't crossed the line yet, who knows what tomorrow will bring? After Linasha finished speaking, she ignored Qina in a daze and concentrated on tasting the fragrant taste of coffee.
Tang Long, like the other ensigns, boarded the transport plane that came to pick him up, and then opened the computer card to take a closer look. This kind of computer card is like a book, and you don't need to use any other tools to read the contents. After reading it, Tang Long didn't know what it said at all, except that he knew that at least a navigator and a radar communicator could drive the ship, and he didn't understand what the other data said. But Tang Long didn't care about this, anyway, just find the 11 people that the chief said. So Tang Long excitedly waited for the transport ship to land quickly, so that he could pick people in the company.
After a while, the transport ship quietly landed in Tang Long's camp. Tang Long, who was the first to rush down, immediately rushed towards his 45th company commander's office.
"Report!" As soon as the voice fell, Tang Long bumped in without waiting for the people inside to respond. After coming in, Tang Long was immediately stunned, because in the company commander's office, in addition to Captain Shen Yue, there were three second lieutenants, and these three people Tang Long had seen, they were the people who were beaten into pigs' heads by himself.
The three lieutenants saw Tang Long's body tremble involuntarily, and his feet moved uncontrollably.
When Lieutenant Shen saw Tang Long, an inexplicable cold light flashed in his eyes, but he quickly smiled heartily: "Second Lieutenant Tang Long, I heard that you are very active in the training base." Seeing what Tang Long wanted to say, Shen Yue smiled and waved his hand to prevent Tang Long from speaking, and said to himself: "Needless to say, I know you want to come to ask for the battleship personnel." Although as a commander, I would like to help you, after all, you all belong to my company, and I am very happy to have four ensigns in command of the battleship in the company this time. But...... You also know, all four of you came to ask me for someone, and it's not good for me to favor one or the other, so let's do it, the people in the company, you can choose, as long as the person who is picked is willing to go with you, that's fine. ”
Maybe before Tang Long came in, these people had discussed it, and when Shen Yue said this, the three ensigns immediately saluted and obeyed the order and turned to leave. The stunned Tang Long saw them snorting from his nose as they walked past him, although he didn't know what was going on, his intuition made him feel that he had fallen into a trap.
Shen Yue waved his hand to Tang Long and said, "Okay, Second Lieutenant Tang Long, go and pick people, lest the good candidates be picked away and blame me for being unfair." Remember that they have to join voluntarily, otherwise I won't let them go. ”
"Yes, sir!" Tang Long saluted and turned around and went out.
Tang Long, who was strolling in the corridor, touched his chin and muttered, "I don't know who is the navigator and who is the communicator, how can I find them?" Suddenly, Tang Long's eyes lit up, because he saw the office with the sign of the housekeeping office.
Tang Long immediately rushed into the internal affairs room like a whirlwind, and before he could see who was inside, he shouted loudly: "Quick! Give me the company's personal information! ”
"Hello sir!" Hearing this somewhat familiar voice, Tang Long, who was stretching out his hand to ask a female soldier who was stupid for information, turned around and saw a corporal standing next to him who was very weak and looked very gentle, and this corporal who did not squint was saluting him.
When Tang Long withdrew his hand and scratched his head suspiciously, the soldiers in this internal affairs room who were originally frightened by Tang Long also hurriedly stood up and saluted Tang Long.
"I remember, you are Corporal Liu Sihao!" Tang Long patted his head, pointed at Liu Sihao and shouted, after shouting, he found that the people in the entire office were still saluting, and he hurriedly replied with a salute and said, "Hello everyone." ”
Tang Long only found out at this time that except for Liu Sihao, a male soldier in this internal affairs room, the other four were all female soldiers with the rank of first-class soldier. These female soldiers are quite beautiful, although their appearance is not as good as those two commanders, but at least they have a more youthful atmosphere than them.
Tang Long touched Liu Sihao's hand with his elbow with a strange smile and smiled: "Hehe, you kid is not shallow." When Liu Sihao heard this, he had another headache, the boss seemed to have forgotten who was supposed to stay here, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Tang Long grabbed his shoulders and whispered: "It's great that you are here, I want the company's personal information, help me get it, I need it urgently." ”
Liu Sihao opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he saw Tang Long's eyes staring at him tightly, he had no choice but to sigh, raised his head and said to a female soldier with short black hair, melon seed face, and clear eyebrows in front of him: "First Class Private Chen Yi, please take that information to the commander." ”
The female soldier named Chen Yi was stunned for a moment before she was busy, picked up a computer card on the table, held it in both hands and handed it to Tang Long.
After Tang Long thanked him, he said to Liu Sihao with a smile: "Hehe, I am ready so early, I really deserve to be my brother." ”
When did I become your brother? Liu Sihao shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Sir, this is what the company commander asked us to prepare early in the morning, but the company commander only asked us to prepare three copies, and they were taken away by the company commander before you came to get them." This one is a copy that I find strange. ”
When Tang Long heard this, he immediately jumped up and scolded his mother: "Bastard! Dare to come to yin with me! Yes...... No, they've been picking people a long time ago! After saying that, he ignored the people who looked at him blankly, and immediately rushed out of the office.
"Corporal Chief, is he our immediate superior? Is it the most ferocious perverted commander in the company now? The female soldier named Chen Yi and three other female soldiers surrounded Liu Sihao and asked questions.
Liu Sihao nodded helplessly, and suddenly he found a computer card on the ground, picked it up and looked at it, and immediately shook his head with a wry smile and said to himself: "Alas, this commander, even such a warship information piece is thrown here." Just as he wanted to take a closer look at the contents inside, the female soldiers gathered around and asked about Tang Long.
"Corporal Chief, that second lieutenant is as old as you, isn't he? Why is he a second lieutenant and you are a corporal? "They all say that the second lieutenant is a pervert, but I can't see it, can you tell me where he is perverted?"
Liu Sihao, who was so painful to die when asked, had no choice but to say coldly with a straight face: "It's office time now, I hope you will return to your posts." "That's what made the female soldiers leave them, and although they must have been very dissatisfied, it was better than letting themselves answer those questions.
Liu Sihao, who was finally undisturbed, pressed the play button on the card, and after looking at it for a while, Liu Sihao jumped up, stared at the card and said to himself: "How can this be?" What's the use of this kind of thing! Although those female soldiers were very curious about what Liu Sihao was looking at, the anger just now had not subsided, so they couldn't bear to ask.
After a long time, Liu Sihao raised his head and looked at the door of the office and sighed: "It turns out that the chief wants the list to pick people, hehe, it seems that this chief will definitely return empty-handed." With that, he put the card in his pocket, explained to the female soldiers, and walked out of the door with a smile. Only the female internal affairs soldiers who didn't know what was going on were left there in a daze.
"Hey, brother, join my battleship, the benefits are good, the promotion is fast, and there are many beautiful eyebrows, don't hesitate, join quickly." Tang Long grabbed a sergeant on the list and said with a grin.
The sergeant had just looked at the paper in Tang Long's hand, and when he saw the words written at the beginning: "I voluntarily joined the battleship commanded by Commander Tang Long", he immediately broke free from Tang Long's hand as if he was frightened by a ghost, screamed, and ran away with a puff of smoke.
"Uh, what the hell is going on? I just opened my mouth, and they all fled like ghosts, and some even fainted at the mouth, am I really so scary? Tang Long scratched his head in confusion.
At this time, a voice with a hint of ridicule sounded behind Tang Long: "Yo, isn't this our heroic and invincible second lieutenant boss?" Why haven't you found a crew yet? Isn't there anyone who wants to be your subordinate? ”
Tang Long turned his head and found that there were three ensigns standing behind him, all of them followed by a dozen or so soldiers. Tang Long immediately regained his cold face, looked at them coldly and said, "Is it your ghost?" ”
The ensigns, who were originally smiling, saw Tang Long's cold eyes, and their hearts jumped suddenly. A second lieutenant stammered a little and said, "It's none of our business......" Before he could finish speaking, he was pulled by his companion: "Explain to him, don't be afraid of him, fighting in the camp is to be confined." Anyway, he didn't find anyone two days later, and he gave him the battleship, and he couldn't drive it. With that, the ensigns laughed and left with their men bypassing Tang Long.
As soon as they left, Tang Long's cold face disappeared immediately, and he was replaced by a depressed and lost expression, only to see him come to the corner with his head down and sit down quietly. Liu Sihao, who peeked at Tang Long from a distance, sighed, and was about to step forward, when he suddenly saw Tang Long jump up violently and shouted with his eyes shining: "I still have subordinates from the Ministry of Internal Affairs!" Haha, if you can't find anyone, pull them all up! Then he turned and ran.
Liu Sihao showed a wry smile, shook his head, and turned to leave.
Tang Long, who was holding a lot of flowers, snacks, and drinks in his arms, sneaked to the housekeeping room, and originally wanted to inspect it, but as soon as the person came to the door, the automatic door opened. I only heard a loud shout from inside: "Salute! Then there was a snap, followed by the voices of several people: "Hello sir! ”
Tang Long looked at the people inside blankly, standing in the first place was Liu Sihao, next to him was the senior soldier Li Lijun with all the muscles all over his body, in addition to the four female soldiers, there were also 8 people such as the brown-haired first-class soldier Erhua and the senior soldier Lan Vent, all of whom were recruits from the same car when they first came here.
"...... you guys," Tang Long asked with some surprise.
Liu Sihao took a step forward, saluted again, and then said loudly: "Report to the commander, all 14 people on board have been assembled, please give a lecture!" ”
"Uh...... Crew ...... Lecture ...... What to say......" Tang Long was a little shocked now, and he didn't know what to say.
The senior soldier Li Lijun smiled honestly and said, "Sir, we are now your subordinates, shouldn't you treat us with those things?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand.
"Oh, oh, please, you're welcome." The stunned Tang Long hurriedly asked Li Lijun to take the things. Seeing that these people began to eat the food he bought at a high price, Tang Long was a little suspicious of whether this was true, because due to the relationship between the company commander and his notoriety spread by the second lieutenants, he found that he was not a persona non grata in this camp, and he did not find a soldier willing to join him after looking for a day. But what is it that these soldiers, with whom they have only ridden once, have volunteered to join them?
Liu Sihao saw that Tang Long was stunned, handed over a bottle of soda and said with a smile: "Sir, it's actually very simple, these people are from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Seeing Tang Long's eyes widen, he smiled and said: "The internal affairs department of our company can be said to be the largest number of personnel in the whole army, do you know how many people are in the internal affairs department of this company?" ”
Tang Long shook his head, although he was the person in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he really didn't know how many people he had under his jurisdiction.
Liu Sihao said softly: "There are 50 people, two or three times as many as other companies. ”
"How so? Is the housekeeping of the 45 company heavy? Tang Long asked in surprise. Generally, there are 20 people in a company to deal with housekeeping, but why are there 50 people here?
"It was so easy to sleep all day. The people who entered the Ministry of Internal Affairs were all soldiers who offended the company commander, and they could have chosen better people to join your unit, Sir, but except for us recruits, the rest of the people were worn out of enthusiasm and were waiting to be discharged. Liu Sihao sighed and took a sip of his drink.
Tang Long opened his mouth and originally wanted to ask why these recruits had offended the company commander when they first came, but suddenly thought that they were all dragged down by themselves, and couldn't help but lower his head and said, "I'm sorry......"
Liu Sihao said with a smile: "Sir, don't say I'm sorry, when you punished that sergeant, we were very relieved, and we couldn't get used to their bureaucratic style." And those of us who may stay on the ground even until retirement finally have the opportunity to cross the universe because of you. Speaking of which, we should also thank you. ”
When Tang Long, who was originally solemn, heard this, he immediately smiled and smiled proudly: "That's oh, if I hadn't worked hard to get through the three difficulties, now everyone is cleaning the toilet here, haha, thank me!" ”
Liu Sihao looked at Tang Long, who joined the crowd and began to attract contacts, smiled, lowered his head and looked at the can in his hand and thought, "I have to thank you, although the opportunity is very slim, but there is finally a chance to realize my dream." ”
When Shen Yue received the volunteer autograph from Tang Long, the temples of his head jumped. However, he still smiled happily: "Hehe, congratulations brother, you actually attracted so many subordinates at once." ”
Tang Long bent over, rubbed his hands and said with a flattering smile: "Where, the chief is well-taught, otherwise how can the subordinate get so many excellent subordinates." ”
Shen Yue couldn't help but show a puzzled expression when he saw Tang Long's humble appearance, but he soon talked to Tang Long with a smile on his face. Tang Long, who finally left after a long time, just went out and spat at the door that had not yet closed, and scolded secretly: "Damn! I obviously want to gnaw me alive, but I pretend to be kind, and I want to vomit when I see that face! With that, he scolded and left.
Shen Yue, who saw this scene with the monitor, slammed the table and gritted his teeth and said, "Wait and see, Tang Long, don't forget, even if you have a battleship, it is still under my command!" ”
Two days later, thousands of transport planes from the military district, carrying 10,000 ensigns and more than 100,000 soldiers, rushed to that F34J base. Except for the tens of thousands of ensigns standing quietly without squinting, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers couldn't help but look east and west. Of course, the whole large hall was packed again.
But almost all eyes were focused on Tang Long's side, because among so many soldiers, only Tang Long stood beside him with 4 beautiful flowers. This stood out in the crowd of men, and some of the soldiers who got close to each other began to shrug their noses and sniff at the faint scent. And Li Lijun, Tang Long's subordinates, intentionally or unintentionally, surrounded the four female soldiers and did not let others come forward.
When the second lieutenants saw the fresh flowers, they secretly regretted how they had added the vacant vacancy to the gladiators, and it would have been nice if they had been replaced by medics. In the vast universe, staying in a sealed battleship won't seem so boring and boring.
Tang Long also found everyone's envious gaze, and was deeply proud that there were female surnames among his subordinates, and he didn't know that this pride made his future troops the most female generals.
This time, the flying machine did not fly out, and it was the two female commanders who came out. Linatha glanced at everyone, waved her hand, and the ground roared, and although everyone couldn't see any change, they felt the floor sinking. It seems that this hall is a huge elevator too.
I don't know how long it took, but the speed at which the floor was falling was still not stopped, and the ensigns were still nothing, and the soldiers were a little uneasy. The four flowers, led by Chen Yi, began to speak quietly.
"Chen Yi, why do you see that the chief has a cold face as soon as he comes here? The day before yesterday, he was yelling like a child. The female soldier with beautiful short black hair, but with fair skin like a Westerner, asked in a whisper.
Before Chen Yi could answer, another female soldier with yellow natural curly hair named Mary hurriedly whispered: "I know, sir, he's pretending to be cool!" Another female soldier with soft and beautiful blond hair named Gina shook her head and said mysteriously: "No, sir, his real surname is like this, haven't you heard the nickname of the cold-faced hooligan?" That's what you're talking about, sir! ”
"Wow, cold-faced rascal?! Sir, we're hooligans, so aren't we dangerous? Mary said nervously with her hands folded in pretending to be worried. Suddenly, the sweet laughter of the female surname spread from here.
Liu Sihao, who was closely following behind Tang Long, had no choice but to shake his head helplessly when he heard this laughter. At the beginning, he didn't count these 4 female soldiers, but he didn't expect them to sign up by themselves when they knew that they were looking for someone for Tang Long. And it's still the kind of registration that is stalked. In the end, I found out that they not only had the qualifications of communication medical staff, but also had the ability to deal with internal affairs, and they couldn't find the remaining 4 people no matter how they looked, so they could only be counted helplessly. "Well, I hope I won't make trouble for myself in the future." Liu Sihao sighed in his heart.
After a while, there was another roar all around, and the floor shook for a moment, and finally stopped. All the people were shaken and stood upright.
Linatha turned, and the snow-white metal wall in front of her slowly cracked to the sides, and a large floodgate opened. Everyone was stunned by the scene that was shown, this was a very large and very tall underground base, the kind of self-propelled gunboats that could not be seen at a glance, a queue of groups and a huge square, neatly placed in a row of shelves, and dozens of logistics personnel were lined up under each battleship.
Qina saw Linasa nodding to herself, and hurriedly pressed a button on the remote control in her hand, and everyone only heard a roar, and immediately noticed that the floor in front of the logistics personnel of each battlefleet column began to move. At the same time, a huge virtual projection appeared above the heads of the ensigns, on which the numbers of the battleship columns were displayed.
Linasha's voice spread through the microphone throughout the base: "The information card you received has the serial number of your battleship, take your men and board your battleship." ”
As soon as she said this, the soldiers immediately went into confusion. And Tang Long shouted at Liu Sihao: "Brother, where is our battleship?" ”
Liu Sihao, who had long observed the virtual screen above his head, immediately said: "The 32nd channel, the 512th card." When Tang Long heard this, he immediately ran into the distance, because the word 5 was written on the passage in front of him. The subordinates behind were stunned for a moment, and then they came to their senses and hurriedly ran to follow.
When Tang Long came to the battleship with bayonet 512 written on it, he didn't pay attention to whether the subordinates behind him followed, nor did he greet those logistics personnel, but just looked at the round hull in a daze.
After a while, Tang Long cried and exclaimed with a sad face: "Woo, when I watched the video, I thought he was so dirty, but now when I see the real thing, I realize that he is so ugly." Woo, the round figure is like a torpedo, where does it look like a battleship...... Ah! It hurts! That guy hit me? Tang Long covered his head and shouted.
"You stinky boy who doesn't have any hair, how dare you protect your flagship ugliness?" An old voice came into Tang Long's ears. Tang Long looked behind him and found that the person who said this was a person wearing a federal military uniform, holding a wine bottle in one hand and a fist in the other. Dare to love is that he beats himself!
Tang Long just wanted to scold, but seeing that person was full of white hair, the corners of his eyes were full of crow's feet, his eyes were narrowed small, his big rosacea nose, and his short stature, he could definitely be said to be an old man. Tang Long had no choice but to swallow the dirty words back into his stomach, pouting dissatisfiedly and saying, "He's ugly!" ”
The old man, who had originally taken a sip of the wine bottle, heard this, and immediately knocked Tang Long's head again, and said viciously: "You still say!" What's the use of a beautiful battleship, it's best to be able to fight! ”
Tang Long covered his head and shouted, "Damn! Hit me again, I tell you I'm the commander of this ship! ”
The old man glanced at Tang Long, straightened out the military uniform on his body, and said with a sneering taste: "It's great, Commander of the battleship." ”
"You ......" Tang Long had just said a word, and he was suddenly in a daze, because he saw that the rank on the military uniform that the old man was wearing was actually a two-bar three-star captain!
The old man also found that Tang Long had seen his rank, took a sip of wine and said, "Second Lieutenant, what should you do when you see the commander?" ”
Tang Long immediately put on a serious expression, put his legs together, and gave a beautiful military salute with a snap. The old man couldn't help but show a look of surprise when he saw Tang Long's sudden change. He picked up the wine bottle and took a sip, looking at Tang Long quietly. Since he didn't speak or return the salute, Tang Long still maintained a saluting posture.
At this time, the ensigns who passed by Tang Long's side all shouted when they saw Tang Long like this: "Boss, you are unlucky. Some even shouted to the back: "Come and see, the boss is out of trouble!" "Of course, these people are just shouting, no one has stopped, and now they are busy accepting their flagship, how can they have time to pay attention to these.
The old man had been watching with great interest, and he found that Tang Long didn't show any expression at all after hearing those words, and his eyes were also looking straight ahead, without blinking. And I kept the saluting posture for so long, and my body didn't even move, and the whole person kept saluting like a stone sculpture.
The old man nodded secretly, and muttered in his heart: "It's been a long time since I've seen such a majestic soldier." The old man took a sip of wine and said, "Take a break." ”
When Tang Long heard this, he immediately put his hand down, then stepped his right leg to the side, put his hands behind his back tightly, and looked at the old man with his head up.
The old man looked at Tang Long, waved his hand and said, "You are a good soldier, but you are not a good commander. Seeing Tang Long's expression of disgrief, the old man pointed behind Tang Long and smiled: "You came here early, but your subordinates are only here now." This shows that you are used to charging alone, and the commander will not do that. ”
Tang Long hurriedly turned his head to look, this look made him not think carefully about the old man's words. He saw that his 14 subordinates were all full of anger, and even several of their military uniforms were torn, and their faces also had bruises from being beaten. The four golden flowers that were surrounded by them were all flushed, and they all had a look of shame and indignation in their eyes.
Tang Long hurriedly asked Liu Sihao, who was full of seriousness, "What's wrong?" Liu Sihao saluted before saying: "Because you ran too fast, sir, we were scattered by the crowd while running, and Chen Yi and the others were surrounded by some soldiers and were indecent. ”
Tang Long's body was shocked, and he hurriedly looked at the four female soldiers, Chen Yi and the others saw Tang Long's nervous and concerned eyes, and the grievances they had just suffered seemed to have disappeared, so they blushed and shook their heads to indicate that they were fine.
At this time, the old man who had been watching from the side interjected and said: "This is a very common thing in the army, in such a chaotic and crowded time, and there are inevitably a few bad-hearted guys among so many male soldiers, they don't use their hands to rub oil when they see such beautiful female soldiers around them?" It's good that you didn't suffer any big losses. ”
Suddenly, a loud angry scolding made everyone's hearts jump: "Fuck! Dare to touch my men! Which unit bastard? Tang Long, who jumped to his feet and scolded, grabbed Liu Sihao's collar viciously and asked, seeing Liu Sihao hesitate for a moment, he immediately said: "Don't say that you don't know who the other party is, just look at your appearance and know that you are fighting with the other party, you must know who they are!" ”
Chen Yi saw Liu Sihao's embarrassed look and knew that now was not the time to look for the opponent, lest he have a few more mortal enemies before he entered the war. So she hurriedly glanced at the sisters, stepped forward and said, "Sir, we are all fine, and this kind of thing, as the old man said, is very common in the army. Don't cause a rift between colleagues for such a small thing. The other female soldiers were also busy speaking out to persuade them.
When Tang Long heard this, he immediately shouted angrily: "What a trivial matter! Is it a trivial matter to dare to touch my subordinates? Female soldiers are federal soldiers like male soldiers, why should male soldiers insult female soldiers, and female soldiers have to endure this humiliation? Don't you ever think it's unfair? ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, since the Union Army began to recruit female soldiers, this kind of thing has been very common, and even forcible annihilation is not uncommon, compared to indecent assault is simply a joke. No one has been able to remove such a thing from the army for hundreds of years, and I have never seen a commander be angry at such a thing, even if the commander has a female surname, and it is still considered very common for such a thing. What is the reason why this second lieutenant is so angry now?
