The FBI agent in Heser (River) suit hurriedly ran over from the other side of the corridor, he didn't care about wiping the sweat from his forehead, and he didn't care about the complicated and indescribable eyes of the two colleagues at the door, he rushed into the bathroom as soon as possible, took out a roll of soft paper in his pocket, knocked on the closed compartment door, and gasped and said, "The paper has been brought here, what else do you need?"

"No, thank you. A hand reached out from the squatting position, took the roll of paper, and closed it again.

The FBI agent had time to untie his tie, wipe the beads of sweat off his forehead, and slowly walk out of the bathroom while panting.

Listening to the slight banging sound in the bathroom from time to time, the agent guarding the door frowned and asked, "It should be okay, right?"

"Don't worry too much. The agent took off his Heser (River) suit, opened his collar, shook his head and replied, "If he wants to escape, where can we stop him?"

"And what's that sound?"

The agent crumpled Hesse's pretend and clamped it under his armpit, listened carefully for a long time, and said suspiciously: "It seems to be ...... Roll paper slamming the door?"

"What I don't understand even more is why the colonel still uses rolling paper when he goes to the toilet. Another agent shrugged.

Xu Le sat on the toilet for a long time, the cold white porcelain became warm, but his mood was still so cold, and there was a famous line that was very suitable to describe his feeling at this time: Is it really a life like shit in the river...... And, of course, there is no shit here.

Squinting his eyes, he threw the roll paper to the door panel in a bored manner, watching it bounce back completely in line with the laws of physics, and his right hand poked out as fast as lightning, no matter how much the roll paper wanted to fly to any tricky place, he couldn't escape his five fingers. The day before yesterday, he was a Federation hero, and today he became a Federation general, this difference did not make him feel too much panic, what really made him feel a little bad was that in order to deal with the big guys, he had to get Colonel Lake out in advance. Shi Qinghai was the first to raise questions about the interior of the Xilin Military Region, and Xu Le, with the help of the central computer, slowly approached the truth and found out the insidious and despicable Jiaose (He) played by Colonel Lake in it.

Shocked and angry, Xu Le prepared a battlefield-like punishment for Colonel Lake in the plan, according to the custom of punishment for betrayers in the army...... Now, whether Colonel Lake is sentenced to death or life imprisonment, I am afraid it is a relief.

And in the plan, Colonel Lake should have been the last to find out the strain, and now it has been exposed in advance, so even if he is alive, the clues behind can only be broken.

Based on the uncertainty of the future, the vague uneasiness about the verdict, and two reasons about Colonel Lake, Xu Le's mood was a little low.

"Jumbo fish double stew, it is not very accurate to say that clams, the half of your right hand is dipped in mustard sauce, and the other half is fat, we have prepared white soup to burst, it should taste good. ”

The FBI agent who was in charge of taking care of Xu Le's daily life and diet had already put on Heser (River) formal clothes at this moment, and introduced him to the lunch dishes in a serious manner, and his tone and clothing matched him, making him really like a waiter in a restaurant.

Xu Le didn't react, he directly picked up the thin and translucent piece of fish meat with the tip of the chopsticks, felt the elasticity and tenacity contained in it, directly put it into the mustard juice and wrapped it violently, and then put it in his lips, chewing the green tendons, sweating profusely, and the bloodshot eyes gradually appeared.

"Would you like to have some wine?" The agent at the table was shocked by his silent but somewhat frenzied expression, and subconsciously muttered, "It should be good with some highly pure liquor." ”

Xu Le shook his head, chewed the fish fillets in front of him as quickly as possible, and then picked up the basin-like noodle bowl in front of him, took the long chopsticks and began to stir and tease.

The staff of the FBI looked at the table in a daze, looking at this important prisoner, and couldn't understand why Colonel Xu Le could still have such a good appetite in such a tense situation.

Xu Le put down the bowl, as if he had completed a task that had to be completed, there was no satisfaction on his face, and he suddenly asked, "Have you ever been on the battlefield?"

"Nope. The FBI agent shrugged, wondering why he had asked the question out of the blue.

"I've been on the front lines. Xu Le suddenly smiled, looked at him and said. The agent thought to himself, the whole Federation knows about it, and has seen what you look like on the front line, so this is nonsense.

Xu Le thought for a while, frowned and continued: "Sixty-five years after the constitutional calendar, the logistics support of the Ministry of Defense has entered the best stage in history, but you know, who can guarantee that all supplies will arrive on time on the battlefield? That's impossible, when the battle is fierce, food supply interruptions are very common, and ammunition is much more important than compressed biscuits at that time. ”

He looked down at the few sticky noodles that looked like intestines left in the noodle bowl, looked at the fish head that began to ooze blood in Zhongzhou, a delicate porcelain plate, and said, "So when we can eat, we try to make ourselves as full as possible, without affecting our actions...... You can hold as much as your stomach can hold. ”

"It's my personal habit to bring compressed energy bars as well, but that's another story. He tilted his head slightly, thinking about the nasty hunger after each mech battle, and couldn't help but laugh.

"And the problem of going to the toilet. He looked at the detective and said very seriously: "There is a toilet in the base, but there is no one on the battlefield, and it is impossible to have any automatic cleaning nozzles, chrysanthemum brand men's private perfume...... , It's good to have a roll of paper, you must know that we often pick up military uniforms from the corpses of Imperial people to wipe our butts, the thirteenth floor once said...... The uniforms of the Snow Armored Brigade of the Imperial Expeditionary Force are the most comfortable to wear. ”

"Colonel, what exactly do you want to say?"

The agent looked at him curiously. For a young clerk like him who had just joined the FBI, Xu Le in front of him was a legendary figure they admired, even if he was now under investigation and might be a prisoner, the sense of legend that made them a little dizzy still existed, so he was curious why Colonel Xu Le was interested in talking about something that seemed completely unrelated after dinner today.

"What I want to say is, war, battlefields, comrades-in-arms, troops, the impact of these things on a person. Xu Le's brows gradually furrowed, and he said slowly in a tone that he didn't want to recall: "On the battlefield, the last thing I want to do is count the number of people. ”

"Yes, our 17th Division, starting from the teacher, is best at destroying the enemy in the run, in the name of preserving the living force, in order to better fight the Imperial people...... , but everyone knows that it is afraid of death. But no matter how afraid of death, there is always a dead person.

"You should know that I was in the seventh group at the time, every time I went out on a mission, and then I counted the number of people, and every time there would be some name and no one would answer, I was going to it, and it was really unpleasant. ”

"You haven't been on the battlefield, so you haven't seen people die so easily, how easy is it? Well, for example, you look at your colleague in front of you, yes, it's the head of the fourth section of the general department, who just walked out of the elevator............ Getting out of the elevator is a very common action, but on the battlefield, he is already dead, why did he die? No one knows, maybe it was the redundancy of the mine-laying mecha that caused a thunder to forget here, maybe it was a small mudslide, maybe it was a stray bullet?"

Xu Le wiped his lips carefully, shrugged his shoulders and continued: "Dead people on the battlefield are as common as going to the toilet. ”

"Going to the toilet and eating are two different things. The young detective glanced at his boss who was walking over a little nervously, retorted with a smile, and then stood behind Xu Le.

"Anyway, you've seen too few moments of life and death, so you're always used to thinking things too complicated. Xu Le said.

"Is it complicated?" The head of the fourth general department, whose face was deformed and made it look particularly gloomy, slowly walked up to Xu Le and said in a cold voice: "I really want to know what simple truth you have learned from the battlefield. ”

Xu Le looked at him quietly, and suddenly said: "The truth I learned on the battlefield is that except for life and death, everything in the world is idle. ”

"Including learning from traitors and being published by the Federation, is it also an idle matter?" the director's eyebrows were slightly raised, and there was some sinister anger.

Xu Le put down the napkin, stood up, looked at him and said, "If I guessed correctly, you should have come to tell me the good news that I can leave, since this is the case, then the things you accuse me of are naturally idle things." ”

"I have to remind you that you are just bailed. The director of the fourth section forcibly suppressed the loss and anger in his heart, and said in a cold voice: "We have enough evidence, I believe that in a few days, I will see you in the military prison." ”

"There is no such possibility. ”

Xu Le looked at his face and said calmly, this answer is very concise and clear, and even a little unreasonable, whether he will be imprisoned in a military prison is a matter of court judgment, but his attitude is so direct.

"Tell the grown-ups behind you. After a pause, he said seriously: "The battlefield truth I just talked about can actually be said in another way. ”

"Kill me, or, hurry up. ”

Leaving these calm but spicy words, Xu Le took the military hat from the young detective's hand, put it on carefully, and then walked out of the building without looking back, there was a convoy waiting for him outside the building, and countless reporters were waiting for him.

Under the deliberate arrangement of some well-intentioned people, the federal news media has already heard the news, and once this (river) case breaks out, the entire federation will presumably fall into an incredible shock, what kind of complex emotions will be projected in the eyes of the people who originally regarded Xu Le as a hero?

Accused of being a federal criminal, he was now on bail and had been given a precious few moments of freedom, but the bigwigs on the other side of the river almost immediately began to destroy all his freedom.

You die, or I live, this is war.
