Wu Qiao recalled what happened last night.
At that time, Lu Rong walked in confidently and asked, “How are you thinking about supplies?”
Wu Qiao saw him, sighed lightly, and said, “This matter has to be discussed in the long term.”
When Lu Rong saw Wu Qiao, he was still unwilling to compromise, but his attitude was already submissive, and he smiled triumphantly.
Wu Qiao continued to let Lu Rong relax his guard: “Sit down and I’ll get some fruit.”
“Haha.” Lu Rong didn’t even think about it. He immediately sat down and laughed, “You take it.” In his opinion, Wu Qiao put himself in a low position.
What he didn’t expect was that Wu Qiao didn’t get any fruit at all, but called Shang Ji Yao, and the two rushed in and pressed Lu Rong down.
Lu Rong was unresponsive and knocked to the ground immediately. Wu Qiao didn’t look strong, but his actual strength was not small. Lu Rong couldn’t move by him, and it was useless to struggle for a long time.
“What are you two going to do!” Lu Rong shouted, “Are you planning to use torture privately?”
“It’s noisy,” Ji Yao said, “shut your mouth.”
“Yeah.” Wu Qiao took out the rope he had prepared to tie up the guns, tied Lu Rong’s mouth in a few strokes, then turned Lu Rong over like a fish, and tied his hands tightly. .
After doing this, Wu Qiao whispered to Ji Yao: “Send to the basement.”
“Ok.”
Ji Yao first diverted everyone on the road, then came back and escorted Lu Rong with Wu Qiao.
Lu Rong beat him in the basement, and the two tied him into a zongzi and tied it to an alloy pipe.
“Feed every few days?” Ji Yao asked Wu Qiao, raising his head.
Wu Qiao hesitated: “Now feed it once a day. It depends on the situation when the war starts. You can’t die once in three days.”
“Hmm!!!” Lu Rong was extremely angry when he heard it. Wu Qiao not only used lynching, but also planned to abuse him!
“Alright.” Wu Qiao stood up, not looking at Lu Rong, “Let’s go back and discuss the draft tomorrow morning.”
“Ok.”
Then, they ignored the person who was tied up, and went back to the bridge to discuss the draft until midnight.
As for Lu Rong, he has to wait for trial by the military court.
How the military court will deal with it, in fact, Wu Qiao can’t speculate.
When his thoughts came back, Wu Qiao looked at the following table-it was only half past eight, and there was still an hour and a half before ten.
Go… contact Tan Yan.
Last night, I didn’t have a good talk.
At that time, he had been thinking about Lu Rong, so he didn’t even bother to chat with Tan Yan.
Moreover, he also needs to relax. He has been preparing the manuscript last night and studying the tactics that should be used overnight.
His tense nerves really need to rest.
At such times, the best way to relax is to “meet” the general.
Every time I saw that person’s figure in the communication device, all his exhaustion would be swept away, because he would remember his determination to be together, and then put his efforts into the battle again.
The best stimulant is hope.
“Huh?” Tan Yan quickly connected to the communication, “Look for me?”
“……Yup.”
Tan Yan was silent, and then asked again: “Can I know what’s wrong?”
“…”
Tan Yan said, “What do you… can’t even I know?”
“No.” Wu Qiao shook his head, “It’s just that it’s a bit embarrassing.”
“Shame on?” Tan Yan immediately guessed the point. “The people don’t accept you?”
“Yes.” Wu Qiao replied.
“Why don’t you obey the law?”
“Don’t listen to my orders, refute what I said, or make your own way, let me not bother.”
“…” Tan Yan said, “I’ll think of a way.” In his opinion, he should help Wu Qiao.
“No need.” Wu Qiao shook his head, “It’s all resolved.”
“Oh?” Tan Yan asked, “How to solve it?”
Wu Qiao briefly said: “Ji Yao told me to kill people and raise their powers, to kill chickens and to ward off monkeys, so that my subordinates would not dare to make any trouble.”
“and then?”
“Then… I think this violates the regulations, so I didn’t agree to do so.” According to the regulations, he should report to the relevant agencies that this soldier should be tried by a military court. Wu Qiao guessed that this was because he was afraid of someone avenging revenge or manslaughter.
“And then?”
“Then…” Wu Qiao whispered, “I put the one who troubled me the most in the basement, and announced to the whole army this morning that he was shot to death by Ji Yao last night because he forced me to sign at a gun. ”
“…”
“I think everyone will think that this is just a reason. The actual situation is that I secretly killed him in order to exclude dissidents.”
“Ok.”
Originally, Wu Qiao did not want to adopt this method.
He did not go through the formal procedures to seize privately, and then lied to make people think that he was a secretly murderer… After all, there were only three people present at the time.
It is not easy for Wu Qiao to get out of this step.
His demands for “integrity” and so on have always been terrifying.
The last time I lied to Akash, I was already uncomfortable, and this time it was even worse. From now on… Wu Qiao has a feeling that he will go farther and farther and say goodbye to the past.
He has responsibility on his shoulders. The heavier the responsibility, the more you need to give up yourself.
There is no way to do something like that, it’s just…
Wu Qiao said: “Admiral…”
“Ok?”
Wu Qiao lowered his head and said, “I’m afraid I will change.”
“change?”
“Yes,” Wu Qiao said, “become… not the me you like anymore.”
“…”
“That’s even more… not good enough for you.”
“What silly thing to say?” Tan Yan smiled, very gentle.
“Ok?”
“Wu Qiao, how do you say it, the last time you deceived your enemy, this time the fake killing of your subordinates, these two things made me listen. Although I feel a bit regretful, it is more of a relief.”
“Ok?”
“Rather than losing you forever, I don’t care about things like that. I want you to be better.”
“…”
“Don’t care too much.” Tan Yan said, “Some things are definitely not’right’, and some things are hard to say right or wrong, but because you have to be responsible to some people, you don’t have anything else. s Choice.”
“…”
“Even if it’s not’right,’ you can only do that. But even if you do something, you have to keep your heart.”
“Admiral…”
“Sooner or later you have to understand this. Now that you figure it out by yourself, it’s probably a good thing.”
Wu Qiao did not speak.
Tan Yan said again: “This is often the case. Fortunately, you can choose the person you like.”
“…Hmm.” Wu Qiao blushed.
After a while, Wu Qiao said again: “Admiral.”
“Ok?”
“I, I read the book and said…”
“What does the book say?”
“It says in the book, say…” Wu Qiao began to stammer.
“What are you trying to say?”
“The book says that two people who are in love should be dating.”
“…”
“…” Wu Qiao felt that the admiral’s face was all wrong.
A few seconds later, Tan Yancai replied from a dazed state, and he asked: “…a date?”
“…Hmm.” Wu Qiao said and called up a document. “The guide says that at least once a week, otherwise it will affect the relationship and make the relationship between the two people increasingly cold.”
“But…” Tan Yan didn’t understand, “You’re fighting.”
Tan Yan thought, Wu Qiao has been fighting all the time, but his side is okay. Thanks to the military department in order to protect him, he made a fake talk, so that he did not have so many miscellaneous things. Seeing Xiao En giving a speech here every day and attending events there, Tan Yan feels tired for him. They are all that old, and have to jump up and down all day…
Wu Qiao replied: “Yes.”
“Do you want me to see you once a week?”
“No.” Wu Qiao said.
“So?”
“I figured out a way to feel like I’m dating.”
“Ok?”
“That’s… the two of us do one thing at the same time, which is what we often do when we are dating… For example, we watch the same movie at the same time, listen to the same concert, read the same book at the same time, and eat the same dish at the same time. Drink the same kind of coffee… and share your feelings, so… it will be a bit similar to being together.”
Wu Qiao didn’t know what it was like to “date”. He read the book and thought it seemed to be a very sweet thing. He and Tan Yan, every time they meet at the military headquarters, or on the base, they have never done romantic things together, and have never been to the movie theaters, concerts, libraries, western restaurants, and coffee recommended in the book. The museum… he hasn’t been there, and he can’t go. After thinking about it for a long time, I feel that only this method can be a little bit more similar.
Tan Yan: “…”
“If you think it’s too naive, then forget it…”
“Wu Qiao,” Tan Yan said suddenly, “just ask me to talk to Yan when no one else is around.”
“How can this…?” Calling the admiral’s name directly, he could never do it.
“Then what do you want to call me?” Tan Yan said, “husband? Xianggong?”
“…”
“The kid is his father? The kid is his father?”
“What are you talking about?” Wu Qiao was a very serious person, and was shocked when he heard this.
“Stupid? Dead ghost?”
“What is “Dead Ghost”…”
“No kidding.” Tan Yan smiled again, “Just call me Tan Yan.”
“Ah…hmm.” Wu Qiao bowed his head, and after a long time, he said, “Tan Yan…”
“Ok.”
“I miss you so much…”
“me too.”
Wu Qiao still said over and over again: “I really want to…”
“me too.”
“Okay.” After a short while, Tan Yan coaxed Wu Qiao and said, “Don’t you want to date?”
“Huh? Oh, yes.”
Those are all told in the book, you have to date or something.
And, it looks… very interesting. In fact, Wu Qiao has hardly been to those places in his life. He feels that by putting time on recreational activities, it reduces the time for study. However, after reading the guide, he had some longings and expectations, and wondered if he would really feel the kind of happiness in the description.
“Then you choose a place?”
“Oh…” Wu Qiao licked his lips and said what he had planned beforehand, “Today…just… go to the Military Museum.”
“what?”
“military Museum.”
“…” As a result, is it still related to the military…
“…?”
“Yes.” Tan Yan asked, “how to go?”
Wu Qiao sent a document to Tan Yan and explained in detail: “This is the museum’s sightseeing guide video. The guide walks in the museum while explaining each exhibit, and finally returns to the main entrance of the museum. The video It’s 3D. The two of us watched this video as if we were actually watching it along his route. The manual said that the effect was very realistic and it would definitely feel like being there.”
Wu Qiao bought this thing a long time ago, but he kept holding back and didn’t open it, so he waited for Tan Yan to watch it together.
Tan Yan laughed and accepted the document.
“The video is one hour in total, and we can just finish watching it.”
“Ok.”
“That, that…” Wu Qiao said, “We all turn it on first, and then press pause. It’s okay to start syncing.”
“Okay.”
After Wu Qiao finished speaking, he opened the video and put it there: “Are you ready? Let’s go in now?”
“Okay.”
Wu Qiao said again: “Now, I call one, two, three, start, and when it’s’start’, you just click to play.”
“Ok.”
“You put your hand on the play button first.” Wu Qiao was not very happy again. “This needs to be completely synchronized. If it is one second or half a second away, it will not be watched together.”
As long as the cooperation is not perfect, Wu Qiao will not like it at all.
Tan Yan knew Wu Qiao’s personality, so he didn’t say anything, and put his hand on the play button: “Okay.”
“So… one, two, three, start.”
Speaking of the word “begin”, Wu Qiao pressed the key at the “” place.
“Tan Yan,” Wu Qiao asked, “how many seconds is it from you?”
“The third second.”
“Well, I am too.”
After a while, Wu Qiao asked again: “How many seconds is it from you?”
“Sixth second.”
“Ok.”
Then, Tan Yan did not wait for Wu Qiao to ask again, and actively read the seconds: “Seven, eight, nine, ten…”
“…Okay, it’s okay.” Every second is exactly the same, and the two videos are not bad every second.
This is the effect he wants.
Wu Qiao began to listen to the explanation.
“This pistol…” the instructor explained in a pleasant voice, “It has a total length of 220 mm, a gun weight of 0.6 kg, a magazine that can hold 15 bullets, a muzzle velocity of 600 meters per second, and an effective range of about 100 meters…”
“This seems very powerful…” Wu Qiao said with emotion.
“I tried this pistol.” Tan Yan said suddenly.
“Oh?”
“Probably it was when I was a major general. It was once selected as a military pistol, but two years later, a more suitable model appeared and it was eliminated.”
“So that’s it…”
The two of them just “walked” in the museum while chatting, talking about their experiences and what they knew.
Most of the time, Tan Yan was talking, but Wu Qiao just listened and found it interesting.
“Tan Yan,” Wu Qiao said to Tan Yan after shopping for a half circle, “Actually, think about it carefully, this kind of date is also pretty good.”
Now, when he said these two words, he still felt very awkward, even his voice was trembling a little, and it became unnatural at all.
Obviously, in private, he has read it countless times.
I have read it countless times during the day and night.
“why?”
“Because, there needs to be quiet in the museum.” Wu Qiao said, “If you really go to the museum, you must be quiet and you can’t chat like this.”
Tan Yan smiled: “That’s right.”
“When I come out, I may not remember what I wanted to say.”
“Ok.”
The two continued to “walk around” for a while, and Tan Yan suddenly called out: “Wu Qiao.”
“how?”
Wu Qiao turned his head and moved his gaze from the video to the communication device: “What’s the matter?”
He turned on the video and communication equipment at the same time, without letting the video occupy the entire interface. He felt that in this way, one could see both the exhibits in the museum and the face of Tan Yan, which was the same as a real date.
Over there, Tan Yan also turned his head to look at Wu Qiao, and then a smile broke out at the corner of his mouth, and he raised his hand and pressed it on the camera.
His hands cover most of the lens, leaving only a small gap where you can see the other party.
“Ok?”
Wu Qiao froze for a moment, and then immediately understood.
He also laughed, smiling happily, and also raised his hand and pressed it on the camera on his side.
In this way, it’s like holding hands…
Even at such a distance, it seems to be able to feel the temperature of the other person.
The first date…
Wu Qiao thought in his heart: Is that how it feels?
It’s not that you’re there alone, but that there’s someone with you, looking at the sights you see, listening to the sounds you hear, feeling what you feel, experiencing the events you have experienced, and then , Leaving a common memory of two people belonging to each other.
Years later, maybe you can come up with it and say: “Remember? There is such a gun in the military museum…” instead of having one person describe it to another in dry language.
This form of dating is actually not bad.
Sure enough, it’s quite romantic.
Wu Qiao thought, he really is a creative person.
After reading a guide, you can change it to suit your own situation.
But why, at the same time a little sad?
When on earth can the two of them… really hold hands without thinking, walk through the streets of the empire, stop thinking about responsibilities, just like that, squandering youth and wasting time, at that time , That place, let all the thoughts be occupied by each other.
