Cold and stubborn, like a stone thrown into the depths of Glacier 5460. Xu Le was not unfamiliar with this personality. After leaving Donglin, he had met many people like this.
He had made some guesses about the personality of the mysterious Bureau of Proclamation official, but he did not expect such a cold and stubborn official with absolute power to be able to remain so calm and silent in the past few days of work. He was so calm and silent that he did not even have a sense of existence.
Until this sunny lunchtime, Xu Le was shocked to find that he still could not remember the name of the person.
"It can't be a robot, right?" He looked at the curly hair on the Bureau of Proclamation official's post with a bitter smile. There seemed to be no better way to deal with such a stubborn person other than to turn around and prepare for the mission in the afternoon.
After lunch, the members of Team 7 who were already used to the mission process skillfully organized their light equipment and firearms. They divided into two teams, walked out of the gate of the military camp, and drove toward the relay base in military vehicles.
The simple road outside the military camp was filled with all kinds of vehicles. On the hills in the distance, there were heavy military M52 mechas slowly moving forward. The speed of the fleet was much slower than usual.
Xu Le sat in the passenger seat and said worriedly, "Is the general attack about to begin? But the progress of laying the net is still a long way off. "
Since six days ago, the Federal Fleet suspended in the space of Planet 163 began to send combat personnel and heavy equipment to the ground at a frequency that was several times faster than normal. For a few nights in a row, the sky was brightly lit by the lights of the heavy transport ships. Under the cover of the fierce aerial firepower, at least seven mechanists landed in various areas of the planet.
Team 7 stopped at the side of the road and made way for the multi-axle heavy truck in front of them. The team members looked at the missile on top of the heavy truck in silence. They were slightly excited, but also a little nervous.
"The West Woods Military District is under too much pressure. The ground military operations of Planet 163 and Planet 3320 have been stagnant for more than two months. The Federation Parliament has been impatient for a long time, and the president can't let Commander Zhong drag this out forever. "
Bai Yulan lit a cigarette and continued, "This is a Hurricane II missile. The missile base behind the mountain should be on standby. The general attack will not be later than this week."
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Xu Le agreed and sighed. "With so many groups laying the net, the longer the net is laid, the more protection the soldiers will have during the general attack. They can't bring it forward because of political pressure."
Bai Yulan took a puff of her cigarette and sighed softly. They were just ordinary members of the army and couldn't influence the overall battle situation.
More than a dozen multi-axle heavy trucks that stretched for several kilometers slowly drove toward the missile base behind the mountain. More than half an hour had passed since the convoy started moving again. However, not long after the convoy started moving, they were forced to stop again.
"F * ck!" Tin Peng, who was sitting in the back seat, cursed angrily.
After entering the frontline, the nephew of the Deputy Speaker of the Federation was transferred to Xu Le's side as a field commander and liaison soldier. It seemed that because of his identity, the people deliberately let him get close to the leaders of the army so that he would be safer. But in reality, everyone in Group 7 knew that this was not the case …
In the few battles that occurred, Xu Le, as the highest military commander, would always appear in the most tense areas and be the last to leave the battlefield. Following behind this young master, not only did they not enjoy the treatment of the leader leaving first, but they also had to bear more dangers.
Perhaps it was because of individual differences, perhaps it was because he felt the hostility of the officers in Group 7, or perhaps it was because he thought that they were deliberately torturing him, Tin Peng's mood was not as good as his companions. On the contrary, he was somewhat depressed. After being blocked for so long, he finally couldn't help but curse.
"Shut up!" Xu Le turned around and glanced at him. He took off the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and a trace of anger and coldness flashed through his eyes. At the same time, the other people in the car also gave him a fierce stare.
Tin Peng was stunned, but he didn't have the courage to refute. Group 7 was a strange team. Other than the direct military orders of the Ministry of Defense, all the rules were … Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le's words. This may be an unspoken rule, but it was an unspoken rule that no one in Group 7 dared to disobey.
A lone military vehicle drove in front of the base. The body of the vehicle was old and shabby, and it was not eye-catching. However, including Group 7's fleet, hundreds of military vehicles stopped at the roadside at the same time, quietly and respectfully waiting for this military vehicle to pass.
A trace of shock flashed through Tin Peng's eyes. He finally understood why the officers in the car looked at him with that gaze.
…
…
"The probing attack on the Rocky Mountain District began last night." Bai Yulan stared at the military vehicle and said in a calm voice, "More than three hundred people died."
After saying this, he pushed open the door and walked out. Xu Le held his sunglasses tightly and also walked out. Then, everyone walked under the military vehicle and stood on both sides of the road. They took off the military hats on their heads and silently raised their hands in salute.
On that lone military vehicle, there was a black coffin that only had a symbolic meaning. With the cruelty of modern interstellar warfare, it was very difficult to preserve the romantic scene of dying in battle. The Federal military had always used this kind of simple ceremony to bid farewell to their comrades.
The black coffin was covered with a bright Federation military flag. Countless bones were buried on this planet.
…
…
In the back of Mochou Mountain, Lady Tai turned off the television. She habitually picked up the moist and ancient fragrant agarwood and then put it down. She was silent for a long time.
"Tonight at the reception on Parliament Mountain, many people secretly cursed President Pabre for deliberately putting on this show in order to obtain political capital," Secretary Shen said calmly. Secretary Shen said calmly, "There are also some people who have made presumptuous comments in private. If His Excellency the President is truly a selfless person, he should throw the Crown Prince to Celine if he has the ability."
Thinking of the news she had just received from the frontline in the West Woods, Lady Tai's expression changed slightly, revealing a trace of mockery and tiredness. Her only son, who had an incomparably honorable status, had officially resigned from his position as the confidential secretary of the West Woods Commander's Staff Department seven hours ago. He had landed on the planet's surface and entered the most dangerous Qiulin Base.
The circle that she represented was indeed filled with incompetent fools and fools who had no foresight. However, as the head of the Tai family, she could never completely cut herself off from that circle, because that circle was her circle to begin with.
At this moment, Butler Jin quietly walked in from the side and took out a few thin sheets of plant fiber paper. He placed them on the table and said softly, "The Federation Investigation Bureau has sent a message that several very professional people have illegally entered the West Woods from Bermuda. Their target may be Xu Le."
Lady Tai's expression was calm. She did not even look at the file. Instead, she directly asked Shen Li, "What do you think?"
Secretary Shen was a person who was qualified to enter the Trinity Association. He did not spread the bloodshed in the West Woods like Du Shaoqing, nor did he do those terrible things like Shi Qinghai. Since he graduated from No.1 Hospital, he had been living peacefully in the Xiu Shu Foundation until he was promoted to Lady Tai's confidential secretary a few years ago.
When he heard his wife's words, he was slightly stunned. His lips were dry, and he knew that he was finally going to enter the real decision-making circle of the Qianshi Tai family.
After a moment of silence, Secretary Shen seriously replied, "At this time, the people who dare to have the idea of killing Xu Le must be crazy but powerful. Xu Le has offended many people, but within this circle, it should be Nan Mingxiu, Lin Douhai, Zhong Ziqi, and Li Xiuzhu. "
"The eldest son of the Li family has been very quiet recently." Butler Jin said in an old voice, "Even after the scandal about Jian Shui'er came out, he did not do anything strange."
"After the presidential election, Li Xiuzhu has become more honest and has improved a lot. Even if he hates Xu Le to the core, he would not dare to interfere in this matter."
Lady Tai looked at the agarwood and gently rubbed her soft fingertips. She said, "Although the two most useless juniors of the seven major families and the son of a bumpkin … Although they are a bunch of useless people, they still have a strong background. When their anger is gathered together, it should be able to bring some warmth."
She slowly closed her eyes. After a long silence, she sighed and said, "Even Tai Zhiyuan could not persuade him. Does this little guy really think that he is the second old man? This kind of stubborn little guy who does not see the big picture and only knows how to ruin things should not exist in this world. "
"Although he rejected the young master, this is after all the president's plan. It has little to do with him."
Secretary Shen hesitated for a moment and bravely expressed his opinion. "He is the successor chosen by the Military God. After the victory of the military operation, he will return to the capital ring. I am afraid that he will face the anger of many people. At this time, if we help him, we are actually helping ourselves."
Secretary Shen didn't say it explicitly, but he had clearly expressed the meaning of providing timely help and a rare commodity that could be hoarded.
"What do you mean by help? He will not appreciate it, and I am not in the mood for it. " Lady Tai opened her eyes and looked at the ice lake. "With the military's efforts to cultivate him, the news that someone wants to kill him will not be hidden for long."
"While the old man is alive, I will maintain my respect for him and see what kind of future Xu Le will have."
"Of course, I will not think highly of those stupid young masters, but I am very curious. If someone comes to stroke the tiger's whiskers, what kind of intense reaction will Xu Le, this little tiger, have?"
"Of course, the prerequisite is that he can come back alive from the frontline."
She had seen through the ups and downs of the Federation in the past few decades. She knew very well that anything could happen on the battlefield. A stray bullet or a rock could kill a future famous general of the Federation.
During the war between the Federation and the Empire that lasted for many years, how many talented and strong-willed young people like Xu Le were mercilessly cut down like countless trees? The madam silently recalled the past. After a moment, she slowly stood up and walked out of the balcony.
