Paul frowned slightly, "I did give an interview to Miss Barnes, but... I didn't say anything about the corruption and depravity of the bureaucracy, she understood it on her own based on my words. ”

But I have to say that the understanding is very good.

Phillips exclaimed: "After the news came out, within an hour, three lieutenant generals, two generals, and four senators called me and asked what the hell are you doing?" ”

"Nothing." Paul shrugged, "I'm just implementing the great freedom of speech in the United States, insisting on the supremacy of truth, and being honest with journalists." ”

Phillips can't do anything about Paul, after all, when he himself faces the media, his evaluation of the government is also as ugly as it is.

But!

"I don't care if you scold the bureaucracy, but can the word "retirement" be said casually? Those reporters smell fart and say they saw, you talk nonsense, and when they get to them, it will become true, and I have to hold a press conference for you to refute the rumors! ”

"Nonsense?" Paul blinked, "Sir, I misunderstood, although most of Barnes's reports were not my exact words, except for the 'discharge' incident, which I told her word by word." ”

After that, he took out an envelope from his arms, "This is my application for discharge, you can take a look at it and help stamp it." ”

Phillips looked at the envelope and held it for a while before raising his voice and shouting:

"Are you playing TMD really?"

"Absolutely." Paul said, "Although I like to joke a lot, I'm still very serious about being discharged from the army. ”

Phillips took the envelope and looked at it, his eyes narrowed: "Is it because I haven't promoted you to lieutenant yet?" There's a reason for that..."

"No, it's not this."

"What's the reason for that?"

Paul took a deep breath:

"Sir, I joined the army to go into battle to kill the enemy, and I am good at it, and I enjoy it."

"But now, the battle is over, and I'm better to be a hero of the breaking war."

"Since I returned to Washington, every day reporters from a village surrounded me and secretly filmed me, forcing me to talk about the bombing over and over again, asking me how I felt, whether I would regret it, and whether I slept soundly."

"It's okay, but what I can't stand even more is the endless awards ceremony, commendation meeting, autograph session, cocktail party..."

"You also know that I am a person, I will be sleepy at every meeting, and I don't even bother to go to your awards, let alone other people's."

"What makes me even more unbearable is that I have to salute this and that, those generals, parliamentarians, presidents, all of them are rice buckets, why should I be respectful to them."

"In addition, there is one thing that is not good about being a soldier, that is, you can't make a lot of money."

"So, I'm sorry, I'm not waiting."

Paul was telling the truth, and these were the reasons why he chose to leave the army, and every sentence was in Phillips' heart.

He was silent for a while before he continued:

"But you should know that with your record, as long as you continue to stay in the army, you can become a general in ten years, a senator in twenty years, and a senator in thirty years..."

"Stop!" Paul interrupted Phillips, "Someone said that to me yesterday. ”

Still in bed, still with Jenny. After Barnes Passion.

The sense of déjà vu made Paul subconsciously put Phillips's pleated face on Jenny's naked graceful body.

I kind of want to throw up.

"In short, I don't accept your request for discharge." Phillips threw the letter back to Paul.

"Sir... Have you been in the army for so many years? According to the statute, when I reach the point where I have served and apply for discharge, you can only keep me at most, but you have no right not to accept it..."

After a brief moment of staring at each other, Phillips snorted coldly.

"Talk to me about the charter, okay, you can leave the army, but not in the form of discharge."

With that, he tore up the powder of Paul's discharge application, and took out a bag of documents from the drawer and threw it in front of Paul.

When Paul picked it up, it turned out to be a copy of the punishment.

"Paul. Second Lieutenant Tibbetts, you were fired for repeatedly disobeying orders from your superiors, violating the army's attendance system, and giving media interviews in violation of regulations. ”

"Your military rank will be revoked, the length of service will not be counted in the army allowance, after leaving the army, you can only receive a minimum standard of insurance money every month, and all the welfare facilities of the army have nothing to do with you."

"As for whether the court-martials will hold you accountable further... I'm not going to stop them anyway. ”

"Well, although I don't have the right not to accept your discharge, I have the right to fire you directly!!"

Phillips looked vicious, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a treacherous smile from time to time.

And Paul's face was as calm as water.

All the charges in the indictment were true, but Phillips never made those charges difficult for Paul.

After all, he also knew that if Paul had been a law-abiding soldier, he would not have achieved those glorious achievements.

This yellowed page of punishment was also prepared by him a long time ago, and he only took it out now, which was nothing more than to scare Paul and make Paul soften.

Paul knew this very well.

But he wasn't prepared to give in.

"Sir." Paul turned to the last page of the penalty, pointed to the blank space below, and said to Phillips, who was waiting for him to relent, "You forgot to sign and seal." ”

Phillips' eyes were about to pop out.

You kid, dare to be big with me?

Okay, who's afraid of whom!

Phillips took the punishment book, signed his name, took the stamp out of the drawer, and 'snapped' it and stamped it!

"You can take it to HR and go through the process."

"Okay~"

Paul picked up the stamped book of punishment and walked away without saying a word.

Phillips was left standing still, silently in his heart:

He's going to turn his head, he's going to turn his head in 3 seconds, 3, 2, 1...give him another 3 seconds.

'Smack! ’

Paul left the office and politely closed the door.

Donna, who had been eavesdropping outside the door, immediately came up: "Hey, hey, hey, are you really going to go to human resources to go through the procedure?" ”

"yes." Paul showed Donna Phillips' signature on the penalty, "Look, the Colonel has signed it." ”

"You stupid, don't you know the purpose of the colonel?"

"I know that he wants to prove in this way that it wasn't me who dumped him, but he dumped me."

"It's not... The colonel just wants to scare you, you're a war hero, even if the colonel has the power to fire you, he doesn't have the guts to fire you, and..."

"What else?"

“... Forget it, this is not suitable for you. Donna tugged at Paul's cuffs and persuaded, "Anyway, you go back and admit your mistake to him, saying that if you don't leave the army, the colonel will tear up the punishment book immediately." ”

That's boring.

Paul said in his heart.

Wouldn't it be better to have the Colonel take the initiative to beg me to stay.

"Alright, you leave it alone." Paul patted Donna's buttocks lightly and walked in the direction of the human resources department.

Donna had no choice but to go back to her desk and continue working.

Paul walked slowly, and when he passed through a corridor, he saw that there was no one around, and his figure suddenly flashed, and for a moment, it seemed to split slightly into two Pauls.

It was a visual remnant of the teleportation that Paul had teleported elsewhere in a very short period of time and teleported back again.

Not to mention that there was no one in the hallway, but there were people who would not have been able to notice it if they had not stared at Paul closely.

The Human Resources Department was not far from the colonel's office, and half of the people who worked in it were young girls and half of the officers' families, ranging from 20 to 50 years old.

But when they saw Paul come in, they stood up and coaxed together.

"Yo, isn't this our hero of the Western Front?"

"Wow, that's more handsome than Steve."

"What are you doing? Treat the military wife? ”

Paul was about to speak...

Suddenly!

Phillips' panting voice came from behind:

"Stinky boy, stop !! me"
