Xiao Bing had always known that Monitor had never married or had children. Back then, Monitor was the captain of the Dragon Teeth Brigade. Because this special identity was not suitable for anyone to know, he had never married or even fallen in love. On the one hand, he did not want to accidentally expose his true identity. On the other hand, as a member of the Dragon Teeth, he had to go out to perform tasks at any time and anywhere, risking his life all the time. He did not want his family to worry about him every day after he got married.
When he retired from Dragon Teeth, he was already old, and he seemed to have completely given up the idea of getting married and remained single.
It was precisely because of this that whenever the leader mentioned Monitor, on the one hand, he would feel a little emotional, and on the other hand, he would be full of apology and respect for Monitor.
Xiao Bing also knew that Monitor had always treated him like a child and entrusted a lot of things to him. So when he quit Dragon Teeth, even though Monitor did not support him and even used torture on him, Xiao Bing only felt a little resentful towards him, but never hated him.
Seeing Monitor's sadness, Xiao Bing said with a smile, "Old man, when you are old and can't walk, just come to my house and I will take care of you."
Monitor laughed happily and said, "My body is very strong. Will there be such a day? Well, even if there is such a day, I don't need you to take care of me. At that time, I will find a beautiful place to live. But now I really look forward to that day. After so many years of work, I am tired! "
"Well." Xiao Bing said, "If you don't want to do it, don't do it."
"Hehe, at my position, do you think I can do whatever I want? I can't be as capricious as you. In the entire National Security Agency, the people who are really ambitious are still too young and don't have enough experience. Those who have enough experience are too conservative. It's really difficult to find a suitable successor for the time being. At least before a new successor is trained, the higher-ups won't allow me to quit. "
Xiao Bing's tone softened and said, "Sometimes people have to live for themselves."
Monitor shook his head and said, "Sometimes it is difficult for people to live completely for themselves. You have to do it for the country. Even if it is not for the country, sometimes it may be for some other people or things …"
When he said this, there were some indescribable emotions in Monitor's pupils. Even Xiao Bing could not fathom them. He wondered if there was something in Monitor's heart that he did not know.
Monitor sat down on the sofa and put Xiao Mingyue on the ground. He smiled and said, "Well, Mingyue, is this room big?"
Xiao Mingyue nodded and said, "Big."
Monitor smiled and asked, "Do you know what this room is called? This is called the presidential suite. Most people can't afford to live in it. Since it's so big, you should hurry up and run around. "
After all, Xiao Mingyue was a child. After hearing Monitor's words, she immediately ran away and ran around the entire hall and other rooms to play. In addition to the hall where Xiao Bing and Monitor were in, there were also the president's room and the madam's room. All of them were large bedrooms. In addition, there were cloakrooms, study rooms, piano rooms, kitchen, restroom, gym, bar counter and bathroom.
It was inevitable for a child to feel fresh here, especially for Xiao Mingyue. She had never seen such a luxurious place before. But a child of two or three years old could easily get hurt if she was too naughty. So Monitor did not forget to remind Xiao Mingyue not to run too far and it was best to play in this hall. Anyway, the hall was very big. But Xiao Bing did not care. Only Xiao Bing knew that although Xiao Mingyue's mind was not so mature and belonged to the mind of a child, it was simply a joke to say that she could get hurt.
After sending Xiao Mingyue to the side, Xiao Bing sat down and looked at Monitor. He said, "Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Monitor smiled and said, "How do you know what I want to talk to you about? Why don't you just talk about the old days?"
"Forget it. Don't you think I don't know you?" Xiao Bing crossed his legs and said, "Tell me, what do you want to talk about? But now that I have left Dragon Teeth, I can't do ordinary things."
"I know this. Don't worry, there is nothing that really needs you to do. You have left Dragon Teeth in the past five years. Although I have never said it, I really think so. You have done a good job in the past five years, very, very good. "
Xiao Bing cupped his hands and said seriously, "Thank you for the praise."
"Haha, look at you. You still don't believe me? I mean it. Although the Dark World has caused some trouble in the past five years, you have minimized the harm of the Dark World to the world. I can't ask for more. "Monitor suddenly asked with a smile," Xiao Bing, have you ever thought about becoming a Lieutenant General one day? "
Xiao Bing was shocked, "Lieutenant General? I have never thought about it. Are you kidding me? "
Lieutenant General was basically equivalent to the Deputy Commander, Deputy Political Commissar, or Chief of Staff in the military region. It was a big shot with real power. Although it was a title given to Xiao Bing and not a real general in a military region, it was still scary enough. At least in any military region, Xiao Bing could almost be on an equal footing with the second in command.
It should be known that there were countless lieutenants and colonels in the whole country, but there were only a total of 29 Army Generals, 4 Air Force Generals, 3 Navy Generals, and 2 Armed Police Generals in Huaxia. The total number of all the generals was only more than 30, and each of them was famous in the military region and had a pivotal position. That was to say, Xiao Bing's identity as a Lieutenant General was second only to these 30 people in the entire military region of Huaxia?
This was too terrible!
What was more terrible was that the youngest Lieutenant General in Huaxia was more than 50 years old, while Xiao Bing was just in his twenties or even less than 30. Such a young Lieutenant General was probably the first one in the history of Huaxia. If he really got this rank, Xiao Bing would almost be the most dazzling star in the entire military, and the only one.
Xiao Bing still did not quite believe it. He shook his head and said, "Are you kidding me? A Major General is scary enough, but at least I used to be the captain of the Dragon Teeth Brigade. I deserve it, and others will not say anything. Give me the rank of Lieutenant General? This is simply crazy. I'm afraid there is no Lieutenant General as young as me in the world. "
Monitor laughed and said, "There are young Lieutenant Generals in the history of Huaxia. Sixty years ago, when the new Huaxia was just established, two outstanding generals who had made great contributions in the war were awarded the rank of Lieutenant General, and they were less than 40 years old, only about 10 years older than you are now. But that was decades ago, and there are historical reasons. Even in that case, they did not get the rank of Lieutenant General at such a young age. You should be the first person in history, even if you look at the whole world. "
Xiao Bing asked, "So you really want to give it to me? Then I won't stand on ceremony. "
Monitor laughed and said, "I thought you were going to be modest."
"No, no, no." Xiao Bing said seriously, "I'm a bastard if I don't take advantage of this. If you give me an official position, I may hesitate, or even refuse directly. But I don't need to do anything. You just give me a rank, and it's such an awesome rank. Only a fool will not do it."
Monitor laughed and said, "But don't worry. I can keep the rank of Lieutenant General for you, but I won't give it to you now."
"Well, I know there is no such thing as a free lunch. There must be something that you want me to do, right? Then I don't want the rank, and I won't do anything. "
Monitor said, "You, if others know that there is a chance to become a Lieutenant General, they will probably be crazy with excitement. Even if they have to go through a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, they will fight for it. But you directly said that you won't do anything. But don't worry, there's nothing you need to do. Just be yourself and do what you need to do. "
Xiao Bing had some doubts this time, and at the same time, he wondered if it was a trap set for him. These old guys were all cunning, so it was better to be careful.
Xiao Bing asked cautiously, "Is there such a good thing in the world? Can a free lunch fall from the sky? Why can't I believe it? "
Monitor laughed angrily, "You are gauging the heart of a gentleman with the yardstick of a villain. You even dare to doubt the big bosses above."
Xiao Bing curled his lips and said, "What's wrong? Are the big bosses not human? Don't they need to eat, drink and sleep? Don't they still have to flirt with women? Can't they have children if they don't have sex? "
Monitor was speechless and said, "Don't say this outside. If people hear you talking about the big bosses above, it is not good after all."
"Now it's freedom of speech. Why can't I say it?" Xiao Bing stopped being talkative and said, "Well, you'd better tell me what's going on. I won't believe a free lunch fall from the sky. It's enough for you to know this."
"Well, in fact, this is not a free lunch. You have made great contributions when you were in Dragon Teeth. Plus, you are the captain of Dragon Teeth Brigade and the king of special forces in the world. It is natural for you to win the rank of Major General. Normally, it is very difficult for you to win the title of Lieutenant General, even if you are still a captain in Dragon Teeth. Even if you have made a lot of contributions, the Lieutenant General may be yours in the future. Maybe you will be younger than me when you become a Lieutenant General, but it will definitely not be now. But … "
"But it is unanimously recognized that what you have done in the past five years may have contributed more to the world than when you were the captain of Dragon Teeth. So the position of Lieutenant General can be considered as an exception. But there will still be too much resistance to grant you the title of Lieutenant General. You still need an opportunity."
Xiao Bing asked, "What opportunity?"
Monitor said with a serious face, "Your strength has improved again, surpassing Breaking The Void!"
