"Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le, I heard that you are a key engineer in the development of the MX mecha?"
A reporter from a weapons magazine asked excitedly. "We did not see your name on the MX mecha list, but we have already confirmed this with many engineers from the Nutshell Engineering Department and the technical director of Shang Qiu. Please confirm this rumour."
Xu Le stopped in his tracks, slightly stunned. Jian Shui'er, who was protected by the wall of Team 7 members, smiled apologetically at him and then got into the car, leaving him alone with the reporters.
"There's also a rumour that you defeated Lieutenant Colonel Li Feng in the MX mecha's test battle." The reporter who had done his homework shouted before all the other reporters could finish their questions.
In this reporter's opinion, being able to interview a soldier who had defeated the descendant of the military god's family was truly a rare opportunity in his career. Moreover, the military reporters based in the West Woods had obtained information on this young man through various means, and they felt that this person carried too much of a legend.
The other reporters could not take it anymore. They chased after Xu Le and shouted, "From what we know, you are a student of Professor Shen Yulin at the Husk Institute. Is it because of this relationship that you bravely exposed the plagiarism at the Federal Academy of Science and forced the resignation of the previous dean, Lin Yuanhu? "
"Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le, I heard that you were the one who wrote the teaching materials for the new MX mecha model for the four major military academies? You are an engineer and have not received any systematic mecha operation training. Why does the military have so much confidence in you? And I heard that you were once a mecha instructor at the S1 training base? "
"There are rumors that you are a student of the military god, Marshal Li." This reporter was more daring, but he was not so daring as to recklessly accuse Xu Le of being Li Pifu's illegitimate son. He asked in a sharp voice, "And I heard that President Pabre also admires you a lot. He once invited you into the president's official residence to attend the first family dinner?"
"You are a recipient of the Purple Star Medal. Why have I never seen you wearing it?"
Xu Le silently thought that it was just an ordinary dinner. As for the medal, did he have to wear it on his body every day to tell all the passersby what he had done?
He lowered his head and walked forward. However, the distance from the main entrance of the Golden Star Hotel to the designated location was less than a hundred meters. Surrounded by these stormy waves of reporters, it seemed so long. It seemed to be much more difficult than breaking into the Iron Seventh Division's camp from the top of Blue Pond Mountain.
"After graduating from the Ministry of National Defense, you successfully broke through the Iron Seventh Division's Defense Battalion with just a new MX mecha. Do you have any thoughts on this news? You should know that the Iron Seventh Division has participated in countless military exercises in the past ten years and has never failed. "
It was obvious that not only did the reporter from the weapons journal at the beginning do his homework, but the reporters who ran the military line only took half a day to get enough information from certain departments in the capital ring.
Xu Le thought that this news was too exaggerated. He had only broken into the camp of the Iron Seventh Division's Defense Battalion. If he were to face the entire Defense Battalion alone, he would only be able to escape. He wanted to explain a little, but he remembered Sister Tong's order. He could only say that he had no comment and continued to walk with his head down.
However, at this moment, a reporter finally asked a question that made him stop abruptly.
"According to your classmates, when you were studying at Lin Hai University, you were once in a relationship. The person you were in love with was the spokesperson of the Green Dragon Mountain Anti-Government Army, Ms. Zhang Xiaomeng, also known as the Leaf of Green Dragon Mountain. Regarding this love story, will it cause any trouble to your military life? "
Xu Le's body stiffened slightly. He raised his head and looked for the face of the reporter in the flashing lights around him. The noisy scene suddenly quieted down because of his actions. However, after a moment of silence, he did not say anything in the end.
In the silence, a reporter finally mustered up the courage to ask again, "As the youngest lieutenant colonel in the Federation, why did the Ministry of National Defense let you work part-time at Whitewater Company? We have all seen your resume and felt that it was a little unbelievable that you became Miss Jian Shui'er's security director … Are you carrying out a secret military mission, or … "
All the reporters had been waiting to ask this last question, so at this moment, except for the reporter who bravely asked the question loudly, there was absolute silence. Countless flashing lights and microphones were placed in front of Xu Le.
"… You and Miss Jian Shui'er are really in love."
…
…
Xu Le did not answer this question. In fact, the reporters did not need him to answer.
As journalists, it was not important whether the interviewee answered or not. The most important thing was that the reporters needed to let the audience and readers know through their own questions that Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le had done a lot of great things, and that this person was the love interest of the nation's young girl, Jian Shui'er.
In the capital ring, which was extremely far away from the West Woods Region, many television viewers were watching the live broadcast on the news channel. However, it was delayed by a few minutes compared to the real-time situation.
The image of the young man wearing sunglasses being besieged by the reporters entered the TV screens of thousands of households and caused a commotion. A few hours ago, they had only looked at the photo and were curious and happy to guess the identity of this young man. Now, they learned more from the mouths of these reporters.
A rising star of the future in the military, who was likely to become a hero of the Federation in the future, and a nation's young girl who was loved by all the citizens of the Federation. This was truly a match made in heaven. This was a warm, beautiful, and even respectable love story.
Respectable was very important.
On the top floor of the Sanlin Federation Bank in the Capital Special District, Li Xiuzhu turned off the TV. He held a glass of light colored wine and quietly turned his head. Through the transparent glass curtain wall, he looked at the tens of thousands of lights in the Federation. He thought to himself that there must be many people like him who also saw the previous scene.
He took a small sip of the wine and struggled to maintain a calm expression on his face. He did not let the true anger in his heart show. His father, that old man who liked to wear small round hats, often persuaded him to walk down the building and stand on the ground to see the world. However, today, he discovered that no matter where he stood, his heart was the same.
On the other side of the towering Sanlin Bank building, Li Xiaotong was having dinner in his room full of flowers. The sound coming from the holographic screen was extremely loud and clear. His expression was extremely happy, and the cold aura of the past that was like snow plum blossoms was swept away.
He raised the red wine and looked at the battered and exhausted Xu Le on the news with a smile. He said with a smile, "You're a bit faster than I thought. This glass of wine is to you, and also to my truly battered big brother. "
The parliament building was brightly lit. A whole row of offices in the direction of the Stone Hall had now been emptied. They were now the Green Dragon Mountain's contact office. For the great reconciliation of the Federation, President Pabre and the big shots of parliament showed unprecedented sincerity.
A young confidential official looked at the girl in the room worriedly. Thinking of the questions of the reporters in the news, he could not help but ask, "Do you want to go eat first? There are so many things that you can't finish in a short time. "
Zhang Xiaomeng gently pushed up the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose with the tip of a finger. She looked up and said with a smile, "Qingzhou, you don't have to worry about me. I'm fine."
She was now the spokesperson of Green Dragon Mountain in the capital ring. She had more important tasks in private and was extremely busy every day. However, her eyes looked through the glasses and fell on the files, but she did not move at all. In fact, she had been listening to the news on the TV and thinking about how the reporters mentioned her.
"You deserve better." She hid the sadness in her heart, forced a smile, and officially began to work.
In a quiet manor in the capital of Huachen state, a middle-aged woman upstairs was earnestly persuading her young lady, "Meimei, I know you're not happy, but you still have to eat."
"I'm not unhappy, it's just … I feel a little nervous." Nan Xiangmei asked the nanny to leave and returned to the table. Looking at the photo that caused the commotion, her beautiful eyebrows slightly wrinkled. She clasped her hands together and softly prayed, "No, don't."
…
…
The silver-grey light battleship was like a silver shuttle, sailing in the quiet and even quiet space. With the help of the gravitational pull of the giant planet, it accelerated again. After flying through the shadow of the giant planet, the West Woods sun on the right suddenly shone. Countless golden rays shone on the surface of the battleship. It was not warm, but made people feel a little cold.
"How does it feel to be on the news?"
Lan Xiaolong followed behind Xu Le and made fun of him. At this time, they were doing an inspection of the core area of the battleship. Although the West Woods military would protect the safety of the performing team, there was still a new MX in the core area. The security of team 7 would not be relaxed because of this.
Xu Le waved his hand in annoyance and did not say anything. Then he gently knocked on the door and walked in. Lan Xiaolong looked at the tightly closed door and thought of the national girl in the room. He shrugged and thought, is this the shame and anger of the whole Federation after their affair was exposed?
"I'm very sorry for causing so much trouble for you." Jian Shui 'er turned around from the window and helplessly shrugged with a smile. It was a very similar action, Lan Xiaolong's shrug was like a hooligan, but this girl's shrug was incomparably cute.
Xu Le stood silently behind her. Right now, the whole Federation saw them as a perfect couple. They knew very well that this was not the case at all, but they could not help but sigh with emotion at the powerful ability of the Ministry of National Defence's publicity department to create momentum. Their hearts were slightly heavy.
If it had only been an exclusive interview and deliberate publicity by the military, the media and Federation citizens would definitely not have been so interested in Xu Le. This was because whether it was the MX mecha or any other feats, for the average secular society, they would always seem a little distant. But this matter involved the national girl, Jian Shui'er, and that was different. The media and citizens would spontaneously unearth everything related to Xu Le …
Li Feng was on a secret mission at the frontlines, so Jian Shui'er was unable to contact him. She cocked her head and thought for a while, and then finally dialed Lee Jae-do's number. She asked softly over the phone, "Is the Marshal not feeling well recently?"
