After Xu Le said that Zong's voice was resisted, he held the phone tightly and waited for two minutes, and there was silence on the other end of the phone, and there was no answer. In the end, I just waited for the federal central computer. A chilling confirmation.

There was no trace of temperature in the old house like daylight in the second district of latitude, he sat silently on the chair, the black cold "mouth pistol" was quietly held in his hand, and the other hand was holding Zhong Yanhua's soft and warm little hand, I don't know when the little girl came down from the stairs and sat beside him obediently.

Xu Le stared at the phone that had been put back on the table and had been silent for a long time, feeling that he was a little unbearable, so he closed his eyes and leaned back on the soft chair. Then he suddenly sat up straight again, took out the blue cigarette case with trembling fingers, took out a Sanqi brand cigarette, and inhaled it vigorously until his lungs ached and coughed repeatedly.

Zhong Yanhua, who had just washed his hair, looked at him melancholy, grabbed his hand hard, and was afraid that he would cough like this and the whole building would collapse.

Feeling the pressure coming from his left hand, Xu Le smiled, pulled out his hand and rubbed the little girl's slightly wet and straight black hair vigorously, and whispered, "It's okay." ”

He vigorously extinguished the cigarette butt and filled a full glass of ice water. Xu Le rubbed his nose, picked up the phone and dialed a phone number, and said in a low voice, "That's the case, Uncle Tian." I have something that I need to refer back to, please ask the office to type an application for me. ”

As an active-duty soldier, he must be approved by his superiors to leave his post, and Tian Fatzi on the other end of the phone should have known what was going on, so he didn't have any surprised reaction when he heard his request. Just reminded in a low voice: "The situation over there is unknown. It's not necessarily a good decision for you to stick to it. And I don't think the Ministry of Defense will approve your application. ”

"But I still have to go back, I have to look twice. Xu Le's fingers holding the phone were a little pale because of the force, and after a pause, he said, "That's the case, he doesn't have any relatives." ”

After explaining some things that had to be explained, Xiao Xu Le glanced at Zhong Yanhua, who was half-squatting on the sofa in a daze. Hide the gun and go to the shower. I don't know what was disturbed, but there was a crackling sound in the bathing room.

Zhong Yanhua's eyes squinted like a crooked moon. Silently looking at the direction of the bathing room, the hand resting on his back gently turned off the instant news, probably knowing why his brother was so irritable before. At this time, it was calm and a little abnormal.

She looked up. Looking at the ceiling or the sky above the old mansion, he asked suspiciously, "Is he talking to you?"

At the Changfeng Military Base, the howling autumn wind gushed out from the space below the battleship, smashing the fallen leaves on the tarmac, and the huge crystalline engine group behind the side of the battleship was in a semi-excited state. The dark blue beam of light was as faint as a newborn fire in a furnace.

Xu Le, who was dressed in a straight federal military uniform, squinted his eyes at the base office building in the distance, waiting for the time when the pass would arrive.

Tian Da Stick stood beside him, with a cigarette in his mouth, and his fat body looked like a ball of wet cotton, heavy and full of murderous aura.

"You insist on referencing, I believe that there should be no obstacle on the part of the Ministry of National Defense, but you are a member of the 17th Division, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the First Military Region, and the Ministry of Defense cannot directly intervene in this level of transfer. ”

"That's right. I've called to confirm that the military district didn't approve my application, and even the ministry didn't agree, and they thought I should stay here and finish the negotiations and experiments. Xu Le looked down at the surface of the gray military boots and said in a low voice: "But I have a public holiday, so I used it in advance." ”

"That's not a very good reason. And I'm sure that no one on the Circle of Capital wants you to go back at this time. ”

Tian Da Bangzi frowned, and his face like a big white dumpling was like two ink blots suddenly provoked, and he said in a deep voice: "About this matter." I can't help you much, I have to stay and take care of his old background for the commander. ”

"I didn't think about pulling a team from the Xilin Military District to fight. ”

Xu Le shrugged, now that the war on the Empire's side is going on, the Federation has transferred a large number of troops from the Xilin Military Region, and now the troops that the old mansion can control are only a small number of forces, including the Second Rapid Reaction Brigade.

Suddenly, Tian Fatzi spoke: "You should know the disturbances I made in Philadelphia back then, yes, I am a very casual and even arrogant guy, but I know it all the time. There are some places that I can't touch, so I kicked all the slim gyms in Mid-Philadelphia, but I kept a very safe distance from the old Li family who often went to the slim gym. ”

He put his hands behind his back, turned his head to look at Xu Le's eyes worriedly, and said slowly, "The Li family in Philadelphia has not offended me. I don't have the guts to offend them, and most importantly, there is no need for it. ”

"A lot of big names died in the Federation this time, including Byron. ”

Tian Fatzi continued: "The list you got from investigating the Gu Zhong case, most of the people on it died on Parliament Hill, except for those who were lucky enough to be alive by the military, the faction in the government has been swept away, even if you rush back at this time, where can you spill your anger."

Xu Le knew that he was thinking about himself, and after a moment of silence, he explained in a low voice: "Uncle Tian, that's the case, I explained last night that Shi Qinghai doesn't have any relatives over there, and someone has to do things like entering the eyelids and choosing a tomb."

Listening to his usual calm explanation, I don't know why, Tian Dabangzi always felt a little depressed, just like watching those young comrades-in-arms leave on the battlefield many years ago, and then he and the tiger smoked a small cigarette in the red and yellow autumn forest. Drinking wine and singing songs. The calm is abnormal, but in fact the heart is sad to death.

After the two men sincerely asked each other for something, the tarmac fell silent. Until the chief officer at the level of major general in the office building of the base came to them in a self-propelled rail car.

"I'm sorry, Colonel Xu Le, your application was not approved, and I can't give this battleship a pass. ”

This major general had just been transferred from the Second Military Region at the end of last year to serve as the supreme commander of the Changfeng Military Base, and his transfer was part of the numerous infiltrations carried out by the federal government into Xilin through the death of Zhong Shouhu, so his relationship with the Xilin Military Region, especially the old house, has never been very good. It's just that because this pass involves Xu Le, he came to explain in person.

"I don't understand what you mean. Xu Le's eyebrows, which were as thick as ink, furrowed slightly. Tighten the straps of the military backpack on the tight shoulders. Asked: "This battleship has not yet been delivered, and the property rights are still in the hands of the Gu Zhong Company, why can't a pass be issued?"

Not for the battleship, but for your rear admiral explained: "I just received a military order from my superiors, and your request for leave has been denied. The military region ordered you to stand by on the spot and not to leave your post without permission. ”

Xu Le took the electronic file he handed over and looked at it twice, shook his head after a moment of silence, didn't say anything more, and walked straight back to the gangway under the battleship.

The major general looked at his back incredulously. "Colonel Xu Le, I don't think I need to remind you of the consequences of disobeying military orders, right?"

Xu Le didn't seem to hear his words, carrying an ordinary dark green backpack, bowing his head like a veteran who was about to retire, and walked slowly and calmly towards the battleship.

Tian Da took out the cigarette case, handed one to the major general with a disappointed expression beside him, and asked with a smile: "He violated the military order, what are you going to do?"

"According to the regulations, I can use all necessary means to keep him, and then send him to a court-martial, the major general leaned into his hand, lit a cigarette, frowned, took two deep breaths, and sighed: "I am very embarrassed by the order directly from the top." ”

"All necessary means, including knocking down this battleship?" Tian Da Bangzi asked with a smile as he looked at the slowly closing hatch in the belly of the battleship.

The Major General shrugged, waved his cigarette and said, "Of course. ”

"Then will you take this battleship down?" asked Tian Dabangzi.

The major general took off his military cap and gently scratched his sideburns, which were slightly itchy from sweat, and was silent. I remembered the image that used to be played on the TV. Thinking that the recently deceased marshal and the young colonel shook hands in the lakeside courtyard, the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl slightly, and he laughed at himself: "Who dares to deal with the successor of the military god like this?"

The battleship began to do take-off pre-push, the crystalline multi-engine group began to excite in the second layer, and the strong power sprayed out from the mouth of the multi-spin alloy, and the temperature on the empty tarmac instantly rose a lot. In the midst of the loud noise and howling winds, Tian Da patted the general's shoulder and said loudly: "Then there is no need to be embarrassed. ”

The Supreme Court's judgment is very inclined to Zhong Yanhua or the Zhong family's old house, although there are still many industries that need to be subdivided, but the equity of Gu Zhong Company has been clearly inherited by Zhong Yanhua, in other words, as the guardian Xu Le currently actually has the control of this federal giant enterprise, so naturally it also includes this sub-feather-class light warship that has not yet been handed over to the military.

This dark black semi-circular hybrid forward-opening umbrella warship, which has not yet been officially named, has begun to follow its owner on some kind of alternative journey, the multi-engine technology of the ancient bell company, and the hundreds of employees on board, pushing the battleship to break through the gravitational barriers between galaxies at high speed. Fly towards the nearest torsion hole.

As Tian Da Stick said, no one in the Capital Star Circle wants Xu Le to go back now, but it is different from what he imagined, although the federal forces have already tacitly agreed that Xu Le is the successor of the God of War, but some people really dare to turn this battleship into a firework in the universe.

Anyway, they have already done something similar once before, and once they become proficient in sin, although it cannot be glorified as art, at least there will be much fewer psychological obstacles. Just half an hour after Xu Le left the Xilin Changfeng base, three pure black Federation warships in a remote base at the southern end of the Gary Corridor slowly left the dock, and the battleship that was ordered to carry out a secret exercise mission was not sprayed with any markings.
