10.The.Rock (4)
The vacillation was stronger than expected.
Before entering the venue, Brunhill forcibly cut off his feelings and reason, participated in the meeting as an almost outsider, did not say a word about the content of the meeting and Li Lin's decision, and perfectly played the role of a staff officer.
Is this the consciousness of being a woman, or is it the reserve of being an officer?
Maybe it's neither, probably, it's just because I understand that I can only deal with it calmly, and I can't bring emotions into the relationship of this place.
"The army will do everything in its power to resolve the matter. ”
Throughout the meeting, Brunhill simply left this sentence at the end. Neither agree nor deny, just state the facts.
Just by not letting her eyes meet the consul sitting next to her, she did everything she could.
Brunhill knew very well that as long as he looked at Li Lin, the suppressed torrent of thoughts and the urge to cry and pray to him would activate the reaction, and the mind that was originally like calm water would ripple layer by layer, expand into waves, and finally turn into passionate waves.
It's useless to stop it, thinking that Roland's life and death are unknown, it is difficult to suppress anxiety, and when he heard Li Lin order Azdahaka to enter the battle preparations, he couldn't suppress the emotional fluctuations caused by his mother's love at all. It's not like this to suppress feelings into the depths of consciousness, and there is no way to continue to stay in the conference room.
Having said that, rational judgment can still function normally, and it is well aware of the difficulties of the military and the on-site environment. At times like these, the consuls need to be calm, make the right decisions, and lead everyone to deal with the crisis—these kinds of things can be understood by Brunhill.
I restrained my feelings with all my might until the meeting ended. Everyone stood and saluted and exited the room.
The guards who had been ejected by Azdahaka had already been sent to the infirmary, and the guards who had changed their guard ahead of time opened the door for a large swarm of moving stars.
While untying the rope that bound his hair, he couldn't hold back his excitement, Azdahaka laughed happily and left, and the guards and generals who had been assigned to different tasks frowned, and their expressions were stern, and after Brunhill, who was at the end, also withdrew, the heavy door was closed by the guards.
Grabbing the fingers of Wen Jiàn's clip added a bit of strength, relying on this action to suppress the fierce ups and downs of feelings. Mobilize self-control that is still functioning. Take a slow stroll through the passages.
One step, two steps, three steps.
Follow the passage and you're about to turn into a curve.
And then.
"Let's go to the observatory. ”
“......!”
There was a solid touch on the shoulder, and the touch through the military uniform was no different from that of the skin, and the voice in the throat that had been suppressed almost came from the mouth that had been suppressed in a hurry. He nodded silently. Walk in the company of a dark-haired teenager.
The Solomon Base Command building is a confidential area. But there are no less military and maintenance personnel, as well as other personnel, who are stationed in the building with hundreds or so of permanent personnel. There are very few secluded places that no one notices.
The observatory is one of them.
It is known as a resting place with a wide view of the surrounding islands, and the drinks and snacks sold are also popular. For the permanent staff of the headquarters, it can be described as a small world to escape the noise of work and enjoy a moment of tranquility.
But this small world is now empty, and even the cicadas can't be heard, only the sound of waves from the sea breeze is heard.
This is not the relationship between Li Lin using his power to let Stasi's group of security personnel in black suits, sunglasses, and shaved short hair drive the staff away. Li Lin has always been opposed to taking security personnel out, except for his confidence in his own strength. In a group of murderous cats and dogs who get close to each other and immediately kill the guys, the impact on the internal and external is really not good. A few years ago, I took this group of guys to the streets in Agen Toraton, and it turned out to be a storm in the city. Those who know a little bit say that the archons of the elves went down to the grassroots to visit and check the quality of food, and those who don't know think that the group of sharp-eared uncles are coming to destroy the house. No one knew, Li Lin was just too lazy to go back to the city hall for lunch, and casually walked into a roadside shop to deal with it......
If it weren't for the fact that all the councilors, including the old grandfather of the emir, took out a posture of death to ensure the dignity of the consul, Li Lin would not even want to go out with those black suits in public, and he would not abuse his public power in this kind of private time now.
It's just the result of the busy work of the staff at the command and the fact that they are knowledgeable.
With the expansion of the scale of the search and the continuous investment of naval and air forces, there are no so-called idlers in the command at all, even if they have a few minutes to rest, which guy with a donkey kick in the head will go to the observatory and steal a little laziness under the nose of the archon?
The silver spoon stirred the sparkling milk and coffee, Li Lin's coffee skills were still so good, and the ripe aroma of the cappuccino was refreshing, but Brunhill did not taste it with the expectation and happiness as usual.
A choked sigh was mixed with a gentle exhalation, and as the solitude and coffee took effect, Brunhill regained a certain amount of calm, but the problem itself was not resolved, Roland's whereabouts were still unknown, and the crisis on Alcatraz had not yet progressed—all of them could only continue to suffer in an impatient wait.
"Don't worry too much, Roland is safe at the moment. ”
Looking at the sea antenna in the distance, the infinite extension of the blue and the junction of the sky, the dim rain clouds are gathering, since a few hours ago, the northeast direction has been accumulating rain clouds, looking at the sky like that, Li Lin smiled like a prank:
"Although I was slightly injured, it was not a major problem, I was not detained, and in short, it was a relatively safe condition. ”
Relying on means that only a few people knew, Li Lin was able to grasp Roland's situation, so his assurances were absolutely credible.
"yes, that's good. ”
Brunhill's tone was somewhat empty, and it quickly dissipated into the humid air blowing in from the north.
Whether Roland is safe or not is a false proposition at all, and Li Lin has revealed the relevant matters to Brunhill from the moment he received the report. The reason why there is a lot of trouble is just to train the troops to deal with emergencies and to practice search and rescue work that they have little chance to encounter in peacetime.
Brunhill was worried about other things.
"Your Excellency, I don't quite understand why not only the 'Gustav Equipment' is put on standby, but also the guy ...... Lieutenant Colonel Azdahaka on standby?"
After hesitating for a moment, he still used an honorific title instead of the title of "that guy", and the unpleasant feelings were still unmistakable.
Brunhill hated, even disliked, Azdahaka.
Not only her, but in fact, no one in the defense army or the personal guard team still respected the ancient lieutenant colonel.
Fear, disgust, spittle—that's all that is projected on the three-headed dragon Azdahaka, compared to this guy who is heartfelt at war, killing, burning, and destroying, and looks at the things he has ravaged with ecstatic expression. Nidhogg, the captain of the Guard, who is also of the ancient race, not only has a higher rank and power, but his popularity in the army is incomparable to that of Azdahaka.
To put it mildly, this is an extremely dangerous, selfish, and arrogant saboteur, and if you throw him into battle, you will definitely win in the end, but all you will get is a scorched earth. (To be continued......)
