Chapter 18 Chapter 2 Colonel Old Man

The two officers watched quietly as the second lieutenants scrambled to board the transport plane. After a while, after all the transport planes took off, Qina asked Linasha cautiously: "Sir, is this self-propelled gunboat really useful?" Looking at the transport plane going away, Linasha sighed and said, "I don't know, it's decided by the military department." After saying this, Linasha turned around and walked towards the inside of the base. follow behind. Back in the command room, Linasha took the coffee made by Qina, took a sip, and said: "The guys in the military department think that the cost of developing a hundred S-class warships is too huge, and there are not so many high-level warships." Commander, so they came up with this self-propelled gunboat."

A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Linasha's mouth and continued: "They said that this self-propelled gun has the power of the main gun of an S-class battleship, and the price of manufacturing 10,000 is the same as manufacturing two S-class battleships. It is simply cheap. Wumart. Hmph! What are you talking about, the power of 10,000 self-propelled gunboats is equal to the firepower of 200 S-class battleships, why only a second lieutenant can serve as a commander, and why all second lieutenants in the federal army will be equipped with this kind of battleship , the military force of the Federation Army can be proud of the universe."

Qina guessed something from Linasha's tone, and looked at Linasha in surprise. Seeing Qina's appearance, Linasha nodded and said, "As you can imagine, this is the first time this self-propelled gunship has been used. Simply put, our mission this time is to test the capabilities of this warship." .” "Is a war about to break out?" Qina asked, suppressing her beating mood. "Well, according to intelligence, the two mysterious fleets of the Silver Eagle Empire on the border have been stationed there for a week or two. With the addition of the existing troops, the strength of the Silver Eagle Empire on the border has reached 120,000. Although they still have No crossing the line, but who knows what will happen tomorrow?"

After Linasha finished speaking, she ignored the dazed Qina and concentrated on savoring the aroma of the coffee. Tang Long, like the other second lieutenants, opened the computer card for a closer look after boarding the transport plane that came to pick him up.This kind of computer card is like a book, and the content inside can be read without any other tools. After reading it, Tang Long didn't know what it said at all. Apart from knowing that at least a navigator and a radar communicator were required to start the ship, he didn't understand what the other data said. But Tang Long didn't care about these, anyway, it was enough to find all the thirteen people mentioned by the chief.So Tang Long waited excitedly for the transport ship to land quickly so that he could pick people in the company.

After a while, the transport ship quietly landed at Tang Long's camp.Tang Long, who was the first to rush down, immediately rushed towards his 45th company commander's office. "Report!" As soon as the voice fell, Tang Long rushed in without waiting for the people inside to respond. After entering, Tang Long was immediately taken aback, because in the company commander's office, besides Taiwei Shen Ri, there were three second lieutenants. Tang Long had seen these three people before, and they were the ones who had been beaten into pigs. The three second lieutenants saw that Tang Long's body trembled involuntarily, and his feet moved uncontrollably.

When Captain Shen Ri saw Tang Long, an inexplicable cold light flashed in his eyes, but he quickly smiled heartily: "Second Lieutenant Tang Long, I heard that you are very active in the training base." Seeing what Tang Long wanted to say, Shen Ri smiled and waved his hands to keep Tang Long from speaking, and said, "Needless to say, I know you are here to ask for the crew of the battleship. Although as the officer, I really want to help you, After all, you all belong to my company. I am very happy to have four second lieutenants commanding battleships in this company. "But... you also know that all four of you have come to ask for someone from me. It's not good for me to favor any one of them. It's still like this. You can choose the people in the company. As long as the person who is picked is willing to go with you, That's it."

Perhaps before Tang Long came in, these people had discussed it. When Shen Ri said this, the three second lieutenants immediately saluted and obeyed, then turned and left.The dazed Tang Long saw them sneering from his nostrils as they walked past him. Although he didn't know what was going on, his intuition made him feel that he had fallen into a trap. Shen Ri waved his hand to Tang Long and said: "Okay, Second Lieutenant Tang Long, hurry up and pick someone, lest all good candidates be picked away, and blame me for being unfair. Remember that they must join voluntarily. Otherwise, I won't let you go."

"Yes, sir!" Tang Long saluted with a snap, turned and left. Tang Long, who was walking in the corridor, rubbed his chin and muttered: "I don't know who is the navigator and who is the correspondent. How can I find it?" Suddenly Tang Long's eyes lit up, because he saw the " The Office of the Household Office” sign. Tang Long immediately rushed into the internal affairs room like a whirlwind, and shouted loudly before seeing who was inside: "Quick! Give me the company's personal information!" "Hello sir!" Hearing this somewhat familiar voice, Tang Long, who was stretching out his hand to ask a frightened female soldier for information, turned around, and saw a corporal who was very frail and gentle standing beside him, with his eyes fixed on him. The corporal was saluting himself.

When Tang Long withdrew his hand and scratched his head suspiciously, the soldiers in the internal affairs room who had been frightened by Tang Long also stood up and saluted Tang Long. "I remember, you are Corporal Liu Sihao!" Tang Long slapped his head, pointed at Liu Sihao and shouted. After shouting, he found that everyone in the office was still saluting. He hurriedly returned the salute and said :"Hello everyone." It was only at this time that Tang Long discovered that except for Liu Sihao, a male soldier in this internal affairs room, the other four were all female soldiers with the rank of private first class.These female soldiers are all quite pretty. Although their looks are not as good as those of the two officers, at least they are more youthful than them.

With a strange smile, Tang Long touched Liu Sihao's hand with his elbow and said with a smile, "Hey, you are very lucky." When Liu Sihao heard this, he felt another headache. The boss seemed to have forgotten who was supposed to be here. As soon as he opened his mouth, Tang Long grabbed his shoulder and whispered, "It's great that you are here. I want the company's personal information. Get it for me. I need it urgently." Liu Sihao opened his mouth to say something, but when he saw Tang Long's eyes staring at him closely, he could only sigh, raised his head and said to a female soldier with short black hair, oval face and delicate features in front of him, "Private Chen Yi , please take that document to the officer.”

The female soldier named Chen Yi paused for a while before responding, picked up a computer card on the table, and handed it to Tang Long with both hands. After Tang Long thanked him for taking it, he smiled and said to Liu Sihao: "Hehe, you have prepared so early, you really deserve to be my brother." Since when did I become your brother?Liu Sihao shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Sir, this is what the company commander asked us to prepare early in the morning, but the company commander only asked us to prepare three copies, and the company commander took it away before you came to get it. This is still mine. It's weird to copy it." Tang Long immediately jumped up and scolded his mother: "Bastard! How dare you fuck with me! Ah... no, they have already gone to pick someone!" After speaking, he ignored the person who was staring at him blankly, and immediately flew away. rushed out of the office. "Corporal officer, is he our immediate superior? Is he the most perverted officer in the company?" The female soldier named Chen Yi and three other female soldiers surrounded Liu Sihao and asked questions. Liu Sihao nodded helplessly, suddenly he found a computer card on the ground, picked it up and looked at it, immediately shook his head with a wry smile and said to himself: "Oh, this officer, he even left such a warship expansion pack here." Just when he was about to take a closer look at the contents, those female soldiers surrounded him again, chirping and asking about Tang Long. "Corporal officer, is that second lieutenant officer the same age as you? Why is he a second lieutenant and you a corporal?" "It is said that the second lieutenant is a pervert, but I can't see it. Can you tell me where he is perverted?" Liu Sihao, whose head hurts to death from being asked, had no choice but to say in a cold voice, "It's office hours now, I hope you all return to your posts." This made the female soldiers leave him, although they must be very dissatisfied , but better than letting myself answer those questions. Liu Sihao, who was finally undisturbed, pressed the play button on the card, and after looking at it for a while, Liu Sihao jumped up, staring at the card and muttering to himself in disbelief: "Why is this happening? What's the use of this kind of thing!" Those Although the female soldier was very curious about what Liu Sihao was looking at, but the anger just now hadn't dissipated, so she refrained from asking. After a long time, Liu Sihao looked up at the door of the office and sighed: "It turns out that the chief wants the list to pick people, hehe, it seems that this chief will definitely return empty-handed." After speaking, he put the card in his pocket, explained to the female soldiers, and walked out the door with a smile, leaving only the female internal affairs soldiers who didn't know what happened there in a daze. "Hey, brother, join my battleship, the benefits are good, the promotion is fast, and there are many girls, don't hesitate, join quickly." Tang Long grabbed a well-known sergeant on the list, and said with a smile. The sergeant had just glanced at the paper in Tang Long's hand, and when he saw the words at the beginning: "I voluntarily join the battleship commanded by Chief Tang Long", he immediately shuddered as if frightened by a ghost. Breaking free from Tang Long's hand, he yelled and ran away in a hurry. "Uh, what's going on here? I just opened my mouth, and they all ran away as if they saw a ghost, and some even passed out foaming at the mouth. Could it be that I really look so scary?" Tang Long He scratched his head in confusion. At this time, a mocking voice sounded behind Tang Long: "Hey, isn't this our heroic and invincible second lieutenant boss? Why haven't we found a crew member yet? Is it because no one wants to be your subordinate?" Tang Long turned his head and found the three second lieutenants standing behind him, followed by a dozen soldiers. Tang Long immediately recovered his cold face, looked at them coldly and said, "Is it your fault?" The second lieutenants who were originally smiling saw Tang Long's cold eyes, and their hearts jumped suddenly. A second lieutenant stammered, "It's none of our business..." Before he finished speaking, he was pulled away by his companion: "Explain to him, don't be afraid of him, you will be locked up if you fight in the camp. Anyway, after two days, he didn't find any manpower, and he couldn't drive the battleship even if he was given it. "Speaking, these second lieutenants laughed and led their men around Tang Long and left. As soon as they left, Tang Long's cold face disappeared immediately, and changed into a dejected expression. He lowered his head and quietly came to the corner and sat down. Liu Sihao, who was peeking at Tang Long from a distance, sighed. Just as he was about to step forward, he suddenly saw Tang Long jump up suddenly, and shouted with bright eyes: "I still have subordinates from the Ministry of Internal Affairs! Haha, find me!" Pull them all up if no one is found!" Then he turned around and ran away. Liu Sihao smiled wryly, shook his head, and turned to leave. Holding a lot of flowers, snacks, and drinks in his arms, Tang Long sneaked into the internal affairs room. He wanted to check it out, but the automatic door opened just as he arrived at the door. I only heard a loud shout from inside: "Salute!" Then there was a snap, followed by several voices: "Hello, sir!" Tang Long stared blankly at the people inside. Standing at the head was Liu Sihao. Next to him was the muscular private first class Li Lijun. In addition to the four female soldiers, there were also the brown-haired first class private Erhua, first class The eight people including Lan Wente were all recruits who came in the same car when I first came here. "You..." Tang Long asked in surprise. Liu Sihao took a step forward, saluted again and said loudly: "Report to the commander, all fourteen crew members have assembled, please speak to the commander!" "Uh... the ship's crew... lecturing... what are you lecturing..." Tang Long was so shocked that he didn't know what to say. Li Lijun, a senior soldier, said with a simple smile: "Sir, we are your subordinates now, shouldn't you reward us with those things of yours?" Then he stretched out his hand. "Oh, oh, please, you're welcome." The dazed Tang Long quickly asked Li Lijun to take the things. Seeing this group of people started to eat the food he bought at a high price, Tang Long doubted whether this was true, because because of the company commander's relationship and his notoriety spread by the second lieutenants, he found that he was in this camp. He is an unwelcome person, and he has not found a soldier who is willing to join him after searching for a day. But these soldiers who had only shared a ride with them once voluntarily joined him. What is going on? Liu Sihao saw that Tang Long was dumbfounded, and handed over a bottle of soda with a smile, "Sir, it's actually very simple. These people are all from the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Seeing Tang Long's eyes widened, he smiled and said, "The internal affairs department of our company can be said to be the largest in the entire army. Do you know how many people are there in the internal affairs department of this company?" Tang Long shook his head. Although he was the person in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he really didn't know how many people he was in charge of. Liu Sihao said softly: "There are fifty people, which is two or three times that of other companies." "How could this be? Is the internal affairs of the 45th company very heavy?" Tang Long asked in surprise.Generally, 20 people in a company are too many to deal with internal affairs. Why are there 50 people here? "It's so easy that you can sleep all day. The people who entered the Ministry of Internal Affairs are soldiers who offended the company commander. You could have picked better people to join your army, sir, but except for us recruits, the enthusiasm of the others has been drained." , are dying and waiting to retire." Liu Sihao sighed after finishing speaking, and took a sip of his drink. Tang Long opened his mouth. Originally, he wanted to ask these new recruits why they offended the company commander when they first arrived, but he suddenly realized that they were all dragged down by him, so he couldn't help lowering his head and said, "I'm sorry..." Liu Sihao smiled and said: "Sir, you don't need to say sorry. When you punished that sergeant, we were very relieved. We couldn't understand their bureaucratic style. And those of us who might stay on the ground even after retiring, Because of you, we finally have the opportunity to roam the universe, and we should thank you." Tang Long, who had a dignified face, immediately had a smile on his face when he heard this, and said with a smug smile: "That's right, if I hadn't worked my ass off to get through the three difficulties, everyone would be cleaning the toilets here now. Haha, thank me!" Liu Sihao looked at Tang Long who cheerfully joined the crowd and began to network, smiled, looked down at the easy-open can in his hand and thought, "Thank you, although the chance is very slim, but there is one who can fulfill my dream chance." When Shen Ri received the signed letter from the volunteers handed in by Tang Long, his forehead and temples twitched.But he still smiled cheerfully: "Hehe, congratulations brother, you have managed to win over so many subordinates all at once." Tang Long bent over, rubbed his hands and said with a flattering smile: "No, it's all the superiors who teach well, otherwise how could the subordinates get so many excellent subordinates." Seeing Tang Long's humble appearance, Shen Ri couldn't help showing a hint of bewilderment, but soon started talking to Tang Long with a smile on his face. Tang Long, who had been farted for a long time and finally left, spat hard at the door that hadn't been closed, and cursed secretly: "Damn it! You obviously want to eat me alive, but you pretended to You look so kind, I feel like throwing up when I see that face!" After saying that, he walked away cursing. Shen Ri, who saw this scene through the monitor, thumped the table fiercely, and said through gritted teeth: "Wait a minute, Tang Long, don't forget, even if you have a battleship, it's still under my command!" Two days later, thousands of transport planes from the military area, carrying 10,000 second lieutenants and hundreds of thousands of soldiers, flocked to the F34J base.Except for the tens of thousands of second lieutenants who stood quietly without turning their eyes, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers couldn't help looking around. Of course, the entire large hall was full again. But almost all eyes were on Tang Long again, because among so many soldiers, only Tang Long had four beautiful flowers standing beside him. This was so prominent in the crowd of men, some soldiers who got close began to sniff the faint fragrance with their noses raised, while Li Lijun, Tang Long's subordinates, intentionally or unintentionally put the four female soldiers Surround yourself and don't let others get in front of you. When those second lieutenants saw the fresh and tender flowers, they secretly regretted why they had joined the fighting soldiers in the vacant vacancies at that time. It would be great if they were replaced by female medical communication soldiers.In the vast universe, staying in a sealed battleship will not seem so boring and depressing. Tang Long also noticed everyone's envious eyes, and he was deeply proud of having women among his subordinates. He didn't know that this pride would make his future troops the one with the most female generals. This time the aircraft did not fly out, but the two female officers came out. Linasha glanced at everyone, waved her hand, and the ground roared. Although everyone couldn't see any changes, they felt that the floor was sinking.It seems that this hall is a huge elevator. I don't know how much time has passed, but the speed of the landing on the floor still hasn't stopped. The second lieutenants are still fine, and the soldiers are a little uneasy.The four flowers headed by Chen Yi began to speak quietly. "Chen Yi, why did the officer have such a cold face when he came here? He was yelling like a child the day before yesterday." He has beautiful short black hair, but fair skin Like a Westerner, the female soldier named Yan Jun asked in a low voice. Before Chen Yi could answer, another female soldier named Mary with yellow natural curly hair hurriedly yelled, "I know, sir, he's playing cool!" Another female soldier named Gina, who had soft and beautiful blond hair, shook her head and said mysteriously: "That's not true, sir, his nature is like this, haven't you heard the nickname of cold-faced hooligan? That's what you're talking about, sir!" "Wow, a cold-faced rogue?! Sir is a rogue, so aren't we very dangerous?" Mary said nervously with her hands clasped in pretended worry, and a sweet female laughter came from here. Liu Sihao, who followed closely behind Tang Long, could only shake his head helplessly when he heard the laughter. At the beginning, I didn't count these four female soldiers, but I didn't expect that when they knew that they were looking for someone for Tang Long, they would actually sign up by themselves, and they were the kind of stalker.In the end, I found that they not only had the qualifications of communication medical staff, but also had the ability to handle internal affairs. In addition, I couldn't find the remaining four people I needed, so I had no choice but to count them. "Oh, I hope I won't make trouble for myself in the future." Liu Sihao sighed in his heart. After a while, there was another roar from all around, the floor shook and finally stopped.Everyone was refreshed and stood at attention. Linasha turned around, the white metal wall in front of her slowly cracked to the sides, and a huge gate opened. Everyone was stunned by the scene shown. This is a very large, very tall underground base, the kind of self-propelled gunboat that can't be seen at a glance, forming a huge square team one by one, neatly organized. They are placed in the racks one by one, and dozens of logistics personnel are lined up under each battleship. Seeing Linasha nodding to herself, Qina hurriedly pressed a button on the remote control in her hand. Everyone only heard a burst of roar, and immediately noticed that the floor in front of the logistics personnel of each battleship queue began to move.At the same time, a huge virtual projection appeared above the heads of the second lieutenants, which displayed the number of the battleship formation. Linasha's voice spread through the entire base through the microphone: "The information card you received has the serial number of your battleship. Take your subordinates to board your own battleship." As soon as she finished speaking, the soldiers immediately became confused.But Tang Long shouted at Liu Sihao: "Brother, where is our battleship?" Liu Sihao, who had been observing the virtual screen above his head for a long time, immediately said, "Channel 32, card 512." Hearing this, Tang Long immediately ran away, because the passage in front of him had five characters written on it.The subordinates at the back froze for a moment, then came to their senses and hurried to follow. When Tang Long came to the battleship with the 512th bayonet, he didn't pay attention to whether the subordinates behind him followed him, nor did he say hello to the logistics personnel, but just stared blankly at the chubby hull in a daze. It took a while before Tang Long let out a mournful cry: "Woooo, I thought it was so earthy when I saw the video, but now I see it in real life and find it so ugly. Woohoo, the round body looks like a torpedo, it doesn't look like a battleship... Oops! It hurts! Who hit me?" Tang Long yelled, covering his head. "You bastard with no hair yet, how dare you think that protecting your own flagship is ugly?" An old voice came into Tang Long's ears. Tang Long looked back and found that the person who said this was wearing a federal military uniform, holding a wine bottle in one hand and clenched a fist in the other.He dared to beat himself! Tang Long just wanted to curse, but seeing that man with white hair, crow's feet around his eyes, squinted eyes, big rosacea, and short stature, he can definitely be called an old man.Tang Long had no choice but to swallow the swear words back into his stomach, curled his lips in dissatisfaction and said, "It's just ugly!" The old man who had taken a sip from the wine bottle immediately knocked Tang Long on the head again when he heard this, and said viciously, "You still say! What's the use of a beautiful battleship? It's best to be able to fight!" Tang Long covered his head and shouted: "Damn it! Hit me again, let me tell you that I am the commander of this battleship!" The old man glanced at Tang Long, adjusted the military uniform on his body, and said with a sneer: "It's so great, commander of the battleship." "You..." Tang Long just said a word, and suddenly he was in a daze, because he saw that the military rank on the old man's uniform was actually a colonel with two bars and three stars!It's a colonel one level older than that beautiful officer! The old man also found out that Tang Long saw his military rank, took a sip of wine and said, "Second Lieutenant, what do you want to do when you see the officer?" Tang Long immediately put on a serious expression, put his legs together, and gave a beautiful military salute with a snap.Seeing Tang Long's sudden change, the old man couldn't help showing a surprised expression.He took a sip from the wine bottle, and looked at Tang Long quietly.Since he didn't speak and didn't return the salute, Tang Long still maintained the posture of saluting. At this moment, the second lieutenants who passed by Tang Long all yelled when they saw Tang Long like this: "Boss, you are out of luck." Some even shouted to the back: "Come and see, the boss is out of embarrassment!" Of course, these people were just yelling, and no one stayed. Now they are busy receiving their own flagships, so how can they have time to pay attention to these things. The old man had been watching with great interest, and he found that after hearing those words, Tang Long didn't show any expression at all, and his eyes were looking straight ahead without blinking.Moreover, he kept the saluting posture for so long without even moving his body, and his whole body kept saluting like a stone sculpture. The old man nodded secretly, and muttered in his heart: "I haven't seen such a majestic soldier for a long time." The old man took a sip of his wine and said, "Relax." Hearing this, Tang Long immediately put down his hands, then moved his right leg a foot to the side, with his hands behind his back tightly, and looked up at the old man with his head upright. The old man looked at Tang Long, waved his hand and said, "You are a good soldier, but you are not a good commander." Seeing Tang Long's dissatisfied expression, the old man pointed behind Tang Long and said with a smile: "You came here early, but your subordinates just came here now. This shows that you are used to charging alone, the commander will not do this of." Tang Long hurriedly turned his head to look at it, which made him not think carefully about the old man's words. He saw that all fourteen of his subordinates were full of anger, and even several of them had torn military uniforms and bruises on their faces.As for the four golden flowers surrounded by them, their faces were flushed with shame and resentment in their eyes. Tang Long hurriedly asked the serious Liu Sihao, "What's wrong?" Liu Sihao bowed first before saying: "Since you ran too fast, sir, we were scattered by the crowd while Chen Yi and the others were surrounded by some soldiers and molested." Tang Long was shocked, and quickly looked at the four female soldiers. Chen Yi and the others saw Tang Long's nervous and concerned eyes, and the grievance they had just suffered seemed to have disappeared, so they blushed and shook their heads to express that they were fine. At this time, the old man who had been watching from the side interrupted and said: "This is a very common thing in the army. In such a chaotic and crowded time, and among so many male soldiers, it is inevitable that there are a few bad-hearted guys. Such a beautiful female soldier still doesn't take advantage of it? It's fine if you don't suffer any big losses." A sudden loud curse made everyone jump in their hearts: "Damn it! How dare you touch my subordinate! Which unit's bastard is it?" Tang Long, who was jumping and yelling, grabbed Liu Sihao's collar and asked viciously. Seeing Liu Sihao's hesitation, he immediately said: "Don't say you don't know who the other party is, you can tell from your appearance that you are fighting with the other party. You must Know who they are!" Seeing Liu Sihao's embarrassed face, Chen Yi knew that now was not the time to look for an enemy, lest there be a few more sworn enemies before entering the war. So she quickly winked at the sisters, stepped forward and said: "Sir, we are all fine, and this kind of thing, just like what the old man said, is very common in the army, so don't worry about it. There is a rift between colleagues." Other female soldiers also hurriedly tried to persuade them. Hearing this, Tang Long immediately yelled angrily: "What a trivial matter! Is it a trivial matter to dare to touch my subordinates? Female soldiers are federal soldiers just like male soldiers. Why do male soldiers indecently assault female soldiers, and female soldiers have to endure this kind of humiliation? Don't you ever feel that this is unfair treatment?" Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Ever since the federal army started recruiting female soldiers, this kind of thing has become very common, even rape is not uncommon. In comparison, indecent assault is just like a joke.This kind of thing has not been eliminated from the army for hundreds of years, and I have never seen the officer get angry about such a thing. Even if the officer is a woman, he still thinks such a thing is normal.What is the reason why the second lieutenant is so angry now?
