Chapter 168: Colonel
Boom! Boom!
There was a crisp knock on the door, accompanied by a rugged male voice passing through the door.
"Colonel, it's me."
"Come in."
A slightly old voice came from within, with an unmistakable taste in it.
Creak.
The heavy door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man in a military uniform walked in and gave a standard military salute to the man standing with his hands in his hands.
"What's wrong?"
Standing in front of the middle-aged man was a man of about fifty years old with a well-defined silhouette and a heroic look between his eyebrows. This man, the middle-aged man who followed up, was wearing a military uniform of roughly the same style, but there were slight differences in some places, which was supposed to be a difference in military rank.
The middle-aged man looked at the military uniform of the man he called a colonel, and his expression was a little complicated.
Since the major reform of the military system in 2014, the style of military uniforms has been completely renewed, and it seems that such a move was made to military uniforms in order to shorten the distance between superiors and subordinates on the premise of clearly distinguishing military ranks. Of course, in the current world, middle-aged men feel that this military uniform is not much different from throwing it in the corner and getting moldy. Except for some use when inspecting the crowd, the rest of the time, he prefers to wear civilian clothes that are convenient for movement.
"Tell me what you want."
The man addressed as the colonel said lightly, turning to look at the flickering screen behind him, with his back to the middle-aged man.
"Colonel Wang Chao, today in the civilian area, some people questioned the rescue plan, gathered more than 200 civilians, and said that they wanted our military to give an explanation."
"How many civilians are there in the civilian area at the moment?"
Colonel Wang Chao did not answer the middle-aged man's question directly, but instead changed the conversation and asked.
"There are still about 9,000 civilians in the civilian area, and of course, except for some of the old, weak, sick and disabled, most of them are involved in the affairs of the base, and we also select able-bodied people from among the civilians every month to join our military."
The middle-aged man vaguely guessed Colonel Wang Chao's thoughts and added deliberately.
"Are the questioners the people of the new religions?"
Hearing Colonel Wang Chao's question, the middle-aged man's body was shocked.
During this time, he had heard a little about the emergence of new religions in the civilian areas. In fact, a new religion is, in the final analysis, a group of people who have the same beliefs and believe in the same things. It is said that this new religion is an underground religion that uses brainwashing to gather believers by taking advantage of the worldview that has begun to change in the last days. This emerging religion believes in the theory of end-time indulgence, believing that the beginning of the end times is a hint from God to mankind, allowing human beings to liberate their own control over ** and indulge ** with all their hearts. Because at the beginning of the last days, human beings were forced to despair, and such a theoretical view was easily accepted by a considerable number of people. After all, in this world, the annihilation of the human form, the degradation of morality, and all kinds of things that were forbidden before the end of the world and considered illegal, are now not strange. Coupled with the deliberate guidance of some well-intentioned people, it is not difficult to gather believers.
Because of the existence of this new religion, these words have caused a lot of movement in the civilian area. Especially these days, the temperature has plummeted, and there has been a snowfall anomaly, which is even more said by people with a heart to be another hint from God, and yesterday the middle-aged man even personally dispatched to the civilian area to manage order. Because it is said that someone killed women in the civilian area, this person is a fanatical believer in this new religion that believes in the theory of end-time indulgence, although this person was finally shot in public, but this new religion active in the undercurrent of the civilian area did cause a lot of trouble for the military.
"This is not clear, there is no news of the undercover personnel who were sent into the civilian area to learn about the emerging religion, and I think it is more than lucky."
"That's ......"
Colonel Wang Chao suddenly fell silent, as if thinking about something.
"This new religion is an ideological organization, and we can't stop people from thinking about it, and naturally we can't stop it from forming. It's just that even if those people are not from the emerging religion, this emerging religion is indeed a hidden danger to our base. The existence of those fanatical believers has brought great trouble to our management. ”
The middle-aged man added.
After a long time, Colonel Wang Chao seemed to think of something and said in a loud voice.
"In that case, within a month, I will make those voices of doubt disappear. As for the so-called emerging religion, I have other arrangements. We can't stop people from thinking, but we can make them not think. ”
The middle-aged man's pupils shrank suddenly, and he instantly understood what Colonel Wang Chao meant.
"Colonel, we have already had too many casualties because of the rescue plan, and now we have to operate in the civilian area, wouldn't it be ......"
"Who do you think I am?"
An indescribable courage came from Colonel Wang Chao, even though he was facing away from the middle-aged man at the moment, but that huge courage still made the middle-aged man almost breathless. The air at the scene seemed to have changed in an instant, and it was a state that needed to be bowed down. It's not that I want you to bow your head, but that you have to bow your head even if you don't want to. It's like an invisible hand in the air, desperately pushing down a person's head.
"I ...... I see. ”
The middle-aged man's voice lowered. In front of Colonel Wang Chao's almost suffocating courage, he could only bow his head, and he couldn't even raise a voice of doubt in front of him.
"So, is there anything else going on?"
Colonel Wang Chao withdrew that courage, and suddenly the atmosphere in the room changed, and the middle-aged man suddenly felt that the gravity in the room seemed to have been reduced a lot, and enough air poured into his lungs again, calming his mood.
"And then there'...... Something about Miss Xinyao. Previous reports said she had gone to the edge of HN province, and today there is another report that she was rescued by two survivors from the outside. ”
"Xinyao ......"
Colonel Wang Chao fell into deep thought again, and after a long time, he said leisurely.
"If it's okay, just get out. Remember what I told you to do, and go to the tactics room and inform a few lieutenant colonels, and I'll be there in thirty minutes and tell them to get the materials ready. ”
"Yes, I see."
The middle-aged man said that, after giving Colonel Wang Chao an impeccable military salute again, he left the room as little as possible without making any sound.
Soon after, Colonel Wang Chao's voice came from the huge room.
"New Religion...... It seems that the civilian area will not be peaceful in the future......"
"Xinyao...... Do you want to leave me so much......"
A long sigh echoed in the room, revealing the sigh of the vicissitudes of life and the heaviness that could not be seen.
