The weapon of the country

Shen Han didn't know the whole story of his brother, General Wei, and Chen Rui, some of the most important things were mysteries that could not be grasped.

That's Shen Han's life that Shen Xiao can't interfere with.

On the way back to the base, Shen Han couldn't help but focus on this matter.He has seen all kinds of things between Wei Mincun and his brother.Before Shen Han volunteered to be the captain of the base fleet this time, that General Wei gave his brother three or five steps to be promoted.The wise general Confucian general who was considered exhaustive in the war years could not force his brother to be promoted to major general, because once Shen Xiao was promoted to major general, there would be no reason to fly a spaceship to fight for his own life.General Wei wanted Shen Xiao to leave the battlefield, but Shen Xiao could never tolerate himself leaving the battlefield.

After entering the base, Shen Han relaxed. He saw Major Mo waiting outside the base, and was about to return a smile. Major Mo saluted him with a sullen little face, and strode away as if he was nothing.

Shen Han could only sigh that the child was growing up, touched the bridge of his nose, and went to see Major General Wu.

Major General Wu was really frightened this time, the handkerchief that he glimpsed at the inauguration ceremony came in handy again, this time it was not for wiping sweat, but for rubbing his forehead.

"Brigadier General Shen Xiao... isn't there any serious health problem?"

"After [-] days of isolation, you can be discharged from the hospital."

"That's good...that's good...what did I do..."

Shen Han saw that Major General Wu's forehead was rubbed red, and remembered that his brain tumor caused brain degeneration. If this kind of shock happened a few more times, I'm afraid the Ninth Base would have to change the captain in advance.

After leaving the captain's office, it was lunch break time.He saw Zhuang Ye from a distance beside the artificial lake. Zhuang Ye was still talking to someone, very serious, and after a while he noticed his gaze, he turned his head and smiled shyly.

I said to wait for him, but I couldn't come to pick him up. Thinking about it, I was also busy with work.The terrorist incident had just passed, and the base was involved in maintaining stability. At this time, there were many clues. The summary report of Shen Han's command on the night of the incident had not yet been published, and other documents were snowballing as high as one person.After spending two days with Shen Xiao, I'm afraid I'll have to work overtime for half a week to make up the progress.

He walked towards Zhuang Ye, and Zhuang Ye also walked towards him.

They walked to Shanghuihe by the lake, separated by an arm's length, and walked forward at a leisurely pace.There were three or five low-ranking officers saluting along the way, and Shen Han nodded from time to time.

When they reached a secluded place, the two stopped. Zhuang Ye turned his head and looked at Shen Han with a pair of bright eyes.

Shen Han had a serious expression on his face, "I'm sorry for what you said that night, it was my fault, please forgive me."

Zhuang Ye blushed slightly, "I told you, you don't need to apologize anymore..."

The breeze is coming slowly, and the water waves are calm.The young man's eyes rippling with soft feelings welling up in his heart, like the lake around him.

"I want to formally apologize to you." Shen Han was so gentle that he was embarrassed.

It was still lunch break, and they had at least 10 minutes to discuss personal matters.Zhuang Ye said softly, "I...and you, we. You told me that you hoped that I would be a companion, and you also..."

He knew his feelings for Shen Han's joy that would make his heart swell, rise up like a hot air balloon, and fly all the way to the clouds, and after repeated deep thinking at night, he suddenly realized what Shen Han said that night, The meaning of hoping to walk with him.

"En." Shen Han smiled and waited for him to go down.

"My previous relationship," he whispered, "the 'Qi Ming' I mentioned to you, we ended a month ago."

"Ah. It's a pity." Shen Han felt a little guilty, but fortunately Little Swan was immersed in the narrative and didn't notice it.

"It's not a pity." Zhuang Ye shook his head slightly, "I don't mean that he is bad, he is very good, it's just... Our relationship is based on the fit of our bodies, I don't know if our spirits are also compatible like that."

Shen Han was secretly sweating, but his face remained calm, "This is indeed a problem."

Pain flashed across Zhuang Ye's expression, and then he smiled at him again, "I'm very glad that I chose the same path as you."

This was a jerky and implicit confession, but when Shen Han understood the meaning, he would not tease him anymore, and would not pretend that he did not understand.He laughed and looked at the blue sky without a trace of cloud, "Next time when you're talking to someone... it's best not to talk about the previous one."

Zhuang Ye said firmly, "There will be no next time."

He thinks I have identified you, how can I say these things to others next time.

It's just their current identities and responsibilities, and they can't talk about these.

"Can you wait for me?"

Shen Han saw Zhuang Ye's begging eyes, they were thinking about the same thing, and this was what Shen Han wanted to tell him.Fortunately, like Shen Han, he considered his responsibilities first.

Over the years, the military has become more lenient towards the sexual orientation of soldiers, from keeping silent without asking or telling, to accepting same-sex couples of soldiers, and allowing same-sex couples to appear in the advertisements of the "Mutual Aid Society for Military Couples".

However, personal relationships between superiors and subordinates or colleagues are still prohibited.This is easy to understand. This is a very special profession. If one day goes to the battlefield, they should put their backs and entrust their lives to each other.If there is an affair or preference between superiors and subordinates or colleagues, how can others dare to believe without a trace of doubt that you will not put the life of your lover above that of ordinary colleagues?And at the moment of life and death, the slightest and most human suspicion is fatal.

Emotions cannot be controlled, but actions can.They have been in the military for a long time, and they understand the principle of duty first and the importance of complying with regulations.

Now it is enough to point out each other, there is no need to go any further.Shen Han put his hands in his pockets, and said beside him, "Then it will take another four years."

In another four years, at least one of them must be promoted and transferred.One is the son of the Zhuang faction, and the other is the backbone of the Wei faction. The people behind them will not let them stay in the same base for a long time.After being transferred four years later, there is no relationship between superiors and subordinates, and it is not the same system. At that time, it will officially start again, and it will be aboveboard.

Shen Han stretched out his hand to Zhuang Ye. After experiencing that attack, Zhuang Ye suddenly asked, "What if... four years later, it happens to be the next war?"

He has not experienced war as a soldier, and was sent to the countryside by his parents, but he has seen the airships bombed by the Empire, read about the terrible death rate of soldiers in the news, and even greeted the body of his eldest brother Zhuang Ze covered with the national flag.

Shen Han had personally experienced wars, and in those years he was at the mercy of life and death. Every time he came back from a mission and heard a familiar name, there was either no news or bad news.After the signing of the contract, at the military celebration, less than one-third of the students and comrades could stay after the war.

He and Shen Xiaohui have the same personalities as they do today, they were both changed by the war, and such changes are irreversible.He thought that his hard work had been exhausted early in the war, but it wasn't until he met Zhuang Ye that he gradually felt that he could cheer up and hope that one day, even if we get together less often and separate two places, we can still look like a person. stay together.

If the war came again, he had a vague feeling that he would not be as lucky as last time to survive.Staying together for a long time becomes a fragile sand wall, which will be wiped out in the wind of war.

But so what.

They have already chosen the same path and the same fate.

Shen Han looked at Zhuang Ye, smiled suddenly, and said, "I've always thought about what is a good ending for a soldier. As I dreamed, would I be able to get a pension at the level of a major general and live happily ever after with my beloved? Actually , not necessarily. In the event of war again, the worst thing is to be paid a death pension together. It is also a good ending to be able to go to the national calamity together."

There was a shock in Zhuang Ye's heart, a burst of sourness, but it also surged with pride.

He also stretched out his hand, and gave Shen Han a high-five as if answering "to help each other through thick and thin".
