Cold and dead, like a stone thrown deep into the 5460 glacier. Xu Le is no stranger to this kind of character, and he has met many such people in his life after leaving Donglin.

He had made some guesses in advance about the character of the mysterious charter bureau official, but he didn't expect that such a cold and rigid official with absolute power could keep a calm silence all the time in these dozens of days of work, so calm and silent that he didn't even have any sense of existence.

Until this lunch time when the sun was full, Xu Le was a little shocked to find that he still didn't remember the other party's name.

"It can't be a robot. He smiled wryly at the curly hair on the forehead of the official of the Charter Bureau, and there seemed to be no better way for such a guy who did not eat oil and salt than to turn around and leave to prepare for the afternoon's mission.

After lunch, the seven groups of team members, who had long been accustomed to the task process, skillfully sorted out the light equipment and guns they carried, divided into two teams, stepped out of the gate of the barracks, and drove towards the forwarding base in military vehicles.

The improvised road outside the barracks was jammed with all kinds of vehicles, and on the hills in the distance, heavy military M52 mechs were moving slowly, and the convoy was moving much slower than usual.

Xu Le sat in the passenger seat, and said with a slight worry: "Is the general attack about to begin?" But the progress of laying the net is still much worse. ”

Since six days ago, the Federation Fleet, suspended in the space of Planet 163, began to drop fighters and all kinds of heavy equipment on the ground at a frequency several times higher than usual, or even dozens of times. For several nights in a row, the sky was illuminated by the lights of the heavy transports, and under the cover of heavy aerial fire, at least seven integrated mechanics landed in various areas of the planet.

Seven groups of convoys stopped on the side of the road to make way for the multi-axle heavy trucks coming in front, and the team members silently looked at the missiles carried above the heavy trucks, feeling a little excited but also a little nervous.

"The pressure on the Xilin Military District is too great, and the ground military operations of 163 and 3320 have been stalled for more than two months. The Federal Assembly has long been unable to hold its breath, and it is impossible for the President to let Commander Zhong drag on forever. ”

Magnolia lit a cigarette with a snap and continued: "This is a Hurricane-2 missile, the missile base behind the mountain should already be on standby, and the general attack will not exceed this week at the latest." ”

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Xu Le said with disapproval: "So many teams are laying nets, one more day, when the general attack occurs, the soldiers will be able to have more security, and it is impossible to advance because of political pressure." ”

Magnolia took a puff of cigarette and sighed softly, they were just ordinary members of the army, and they couldn't affect the command of the big battle situation.

More than a dozen multi-axle trucks stretching for several kilometers slowly moved towards the missile base behind the mountain, and the convoy of the seven groups restarted, and more than half an hour had passed, but the convoy was forced to stop not long after it started.

"me!" Xipeng, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, scolded in annoyance.

After entering the front line, the nephew of the deputy federal speaker was transferred to Xu Le's side as a field command liaison. It seems that people deliberately let him close to the leadership of the army because of his identity to make him safer. But in fact, it is clear to everyone in the seven groups that this is not the case......

In the few battles, Xu Le, as the supreme military commander, will always appear in the most tense area, and be the last to leave the battlefield. Following behind this young master, not only did he not enjoy the treatment of the leader leaving first, but he had to bear more dangers.

Maybe it's an individual difference, maybe it's because he feels the hostility of the seven groups of officers, maybe he thinks he was being deliberately tortured, so Xipeng's mood in the past few days is not as happy as those companions, on the contrary, he is a little low, and he has been blocked on the road for so long today, and finally couldn't help but burst out a rough sentence.

"Shut up!" Xu Le glanced back at him, took off the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and a trace of anger and indifference flashed in his eyes, while the other people sitting in the car also glared at him fiercely.

Xipeng was suffocated, but he didn't have the courage to refute at all. Group Seven is a strange team, and all the rules except for the direct military orders of the Ministry of Defense are...... Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le's words, this may be an unspoken rule, but it is an unspoken rule that every member of the seventh group does not dare to resist.

In front of the base came a lone military vehicle, with a dilapidated and inconspicuous body, but hundreds of military vehicles, including seven groups of convoys, were parked on the side of the road at the same time, waiting for the military vehicle to pass safely and respectfully. A trace of astonishment flashed in Xipeng's eyes, and he finally understood why the commanders in the car looked at him that way.

......

......

"The tentative assault on the Rocky Mountains began last night. Magnolia looked at the military vehicle quietly and said softly, "More than three hundred people have been killed." ”

With that, he pushed the car door open and walked down. Xu Le clutched his sunglasses and walked down, and then everyone walked under the military vehicle, stood on both sides of the road, took off the military hat on his head, and raised his hands in silence to salute.

There was a black coffin with only symbolic meaning on that lonely military vehicle, and the cruelty of modern interstellar warfare made it difficult to keep the horse leather shroud on the battlefield or this last romantic episode of life, and the federal military has always used this simple ritual to say goodbye to their comrades.

The black coffin is covered with a brightly colored Union flag, and countless fragrant bones are buried on this planet.

......

......

After Mo Chou, Mrs. Tai turned off the TV, habitually picked up the best agarwood remnants of moisturizing Qingu, and then put it in, and was silent for a long time.

"At tonight's Parliament Hill reception, many people secretly scolded President Pabul for deliberately making this drama in order to gain political capital. Secretary Shen said calmly: "There are also some people who privately comment that if His Excellency the President is really a selfless person, he will throw the prince to Xilin if he has the ability." ”

Thinking of the news from the Xilin front just received, Mrs. Tai's face changed slightly, revealing a trace of ridicule and exhaustion, her only son, an incomparably noble little guy, just seven hours ago, officially resigned from the position of confidential secretary of the Xilin Commander's Staff, landed on the surface of the planet, and entered the most dangerous Qiulin base.

The one she represents is indeed full of incompetent mediocrities and fools with no vision.

It's just that as the head of the Tai family, Mrs. will never be able to completely cut off that one, because that one was originally hers.

At this time, Steward Jin quietly walked over from the side, took out a few thin pieces of plant fiber paper, put them on the table, and said softly: "News from the FBI, there are several very professional people who have smuggled from Bermuda to Xilin, and the target may be Xu Le. ”

Mrs. Tai's expression was calm, she didn't even look at the dossier, and asked Shen Li directly, "What do you think?"

Secretary Shen is a person who is qualified to enter the Trinity Association, he did not spread blood and fire in Xilin like Du Shaoqing, nor did he do extremely spicy deeds like Shi Qinghai, since he graduated from the First Academy, he spent his days in the Cultivation Foundation smoothly, until he was promoted to Mrs. Tai's confidential secretary a few years ago.

Hearing Madame's words, he smiled slightly, his lips were a little dry, and he knew that he was finally about to enter the real decision-making of the Qianshi Tai family.

After a moment of silence, Secretary Shen replied seriously: "At this time, the people who dare to have the idea of killing Xu Le must be crazy but powerful guys. Xu Le offended a lot of people, but it was limited to these ranges, it should be Nan Mingxiu, Lin Douhai, Zhong Ziqi, and Li Xiuzhu. ”

"The eldest young master of the Li family has been very peaceful recently. Steward Jin said in an old voice: "Even after Jian Shui'er's scandal came out, he didn't say anything unusual. ”

"After the presidential election, Li Xiuzhu is much more honest and has grown a lot, even if he hates Xu Le to the bone at this time, he doesn't dare to meddle in these things. ”

Mrs. Tai looked at the agarwood, gently rubbed her slippery fingertips, and said: "The two most unsuccessful juniors in the Seven Families, plus the son of the mud legs...... Although they are all a pile of rubbish, after all, they are rubbish with some background strength, and their anger can probably have some temperature when they get together. ”

She slowly closed her eyes, and after being silent for a long time, she said with emotion: "Even Tai Zhiyuan can't convince him, this little guy really thinks that he is the second old man? This kind of little guy who has no overall situation, has a tough temperament, and can only do bad things, should not exist in this world." ”

"Although he rejected the young master, this is after all the plan of His Excellency the President, and it has little to do with him. ”

After hesitating for a moment, Secretary Shen bravely said his opinion, "He is the successor of the military god...... After the end of the victorious military operation, he returned to the capital circle, I am afraid that he will face the anger of many people, and at such a time, we help him, in fact, we help ourselves. ”

Secretary Shen didn't say it thoroughly, but he had already expressed the meaning of sending charcoal in the snow and living in strange goods very clearly.

"What does it mean to help? He won't appreciate it, and I don't feel that way. Mrs. Tai opened her eyes, looked at the snow-capped mountains and ice lakes and said, "With the military's cultivation of him, the news that someone wants to kill him will definitely not be hidden for too long. ”

"When the old man is alive, I will maintain my respect for the old man and see what kind of future Xu Le will bring. ”

"Of course I won't be optimistic about those stupid young boys, I'm just curious about how Xu Le, the little tiger, will react violently when someone comes to brush the tiger's whiskers. ”

"Of course, the premise is that he can come back alive from the front. ”

"Of course, the premise is that he can come back alive from the front. ”

She has seen through the ups and downs of the Federation over the past few decades, and knows very well that anything can happen on the battlefield. A stray bullet, a stone, could kill a future Federation general.

In the years of war between the Federation and the Empire, how many young people like Xu Le were as brilliant and amazingly willed as Xu Le, who were ruthlessly cut down like countless trees? Madame silently reflected on the past, and after a while, she slowly got up and walked out of the terrace.

The weather in the capital is so cold that she is about to embark on a vacation trip, and the place is still S3, the ancient temple with human tracks. wW
