escape the moon

4:41pm, Allied Forces Command Post, United Front Work Department, Conference Room 1.

The air conditioner was on low, and it was still hot for the men in uniform.Li Chun, the head of the thirteenth district, sat on the left of Feng Jiling, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces. He put his suit jacket on the chair, revealing his clean and ironed shirt.Seeing Xiaoshan walk in, he immediately stood up, shook hands, and said some words of thanks in a very low voice.Xiao Shan patted him on the back and sat down on the opposite seat.

"Then let's start," the secretary-general said, "General Xiao, I asked you to come here because I wanted to know something about it. During the 812 campaign, you and your 78th Division rashly attacked the tower under the premise that the front covering troops clearly stopped attacking. Do you have anything to say about this situation?"

Xiaoshan untied the pistol at his waist and slapped it on the table, sneered: "What kind of shit is covering the troops? When I took people to the border, I didn't see a single one. They should have taken down the turret half an hour ago. You ask District Chief Li, he waited until 02:30, and there was no news from 103. As soon as I entered the air-raid shelter, he blurted out and called me Cui Yu!"

Cui Yu is the commander of the 103rd Airborne Division and has been a veteran for more than 30 years.At the scene, his expression was a little uneasy.

"Xiaoshan, you also saw that tower, with eight gun ports, almost all of my people were folded under it. I was afraid that the people behind would die, so I kindly advised you not to attack first!" Cui Yu said with a red face.

Xiaoshan looked at him as if he was watching a joke: "It's all broken, aren't you still sitting here alive?"

Cui Yu slapped the table and stood up: "How do you talk! How many years have you been fighting, how many years have I been, what qualifications do you have to say that?"

This is about to start a fight.

The secretary-general coughed twice: "Old Cui, sit down. This is a hearing, not a market bargain."

Cui Yu gave Xiaoshan a vicious look.The young general pretended not to see it.

"General Xiao, you contributed a lot to the 812 campaign. District Chief Li was rescued and the 78th district was recovered because you and the 78th Division bravely captured the fort. No one denies this fact. However, fighting is about cooperation, not just playing a solo role on stage. , The [-]th Division's attack without cover will not only increase casualties, but also expose the air-raid shelter." The Secretary-General said seriously.

Xiaoshan snorted lightly.Cui Yu is a rich man, and he can only shrink his head because of his seniority.He captured the fort, and he also took back the [-]th district. He won the battle and took military merits.His eyes fell on Feng Jiling, he could ignore what others thought, but he couldn't ignore what the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces meant.

Feng Jiling tapped the knuckles of his index finger on the table, stopped suddenly, and looked at the teacup in front of him. There was no hot water in it. He asked the girl at the front desk to add water to him, and the girl hurried up with the kettle in her hand. , he pointed to this beautiful girl, and said: "This is Xiao Zhang, the new receptionist, Xiaoshan, you get to know her, and there will be more opportunities to deal with her in the future."

The front desk showed a sweet smile: "Hello, General Xiao."

The corner of Xiaoshan's mouth curled up: "This girl is not bad, how about Laojun going to do a show this year?"

The receptionist turned pale with fright, and hurriedly looked at Feng Jiling's expression.Feng Jiling laughed loudly: "You are the one who has the most crazy ideas."

The episode did not prevent the hearing from continuing.

Feng Jiling looked at Cui Yu: "Old Cui has been an airborne division for more than 30 years. He also made great achievements in winning Yongzhou Peak. Xiaoshan is a rising star. The 78th Division first took back the fifth district and then took back the thirteenth district. They are all excellent. Professional soldiers who have dedicated themselves to the country, the people and history will remember your contributions, and children will follow your example. This is the real soldier and the most solid strength of the country!"

The Secretary-General led the applause.Cui Yu's complexion improved a little.

"After the 812 campaign, the thirteen districts of our country were basically completed. This is great news! It is also the reason why I insist on giving Xiaoshan a credit. This military exploit will definitely be included in textbooks in the future." Feng Jiling sat up straight. : "However, disobedience to military orders is also a fact. Xiaoshan, you have to reflect on yourself. If your style of work affects other troops, do you still want to fight?"

Xiaoshan stood up and bowed: "Yes. It was my lack of consideration, and I am willing to take responsibility."

Feng Jiling smiled: "Sit down. You came from an orderly. It was not easy, and you performed very well. I also reported your situation to the President. We discussed it. There are new tasks to be done next. Giving it to you is also considered reflection."

Xiaoshan secretly sneered, sure enough, what should come will still come.

I only heard Feng Jiling continue to say: "The head of the consulting department is going to retire when he is old, and we haven't been able to find a suitable person. You have rich experience in the front line. Now you are transferred to the back, and you know how to cooperate with the front line to do a good job. This It has been decided that the president has agreed, you will go to work at the command post from tomorrow, the consultation department on the 10th floor, and you will not go to the front line again."

There was a moment of silence here.

Even though he was prepared in his heart, Xiaoshan was still shocked.Consulting department?What does it mean?Why was he transferred to the rear all of a sudden?He only knows how to fight, and has no experience working in the rear. Could it be that Feng Jiling really felt that he was guilty of disobedience to the military order, so he should be punished?Or is it because the thirteenth district has taken too much credit for regaining him, and the commander-in-chief has already started to be afraid?

The word "Gong Gao Zhen Zhu" appeared in Xiao Shan's mind, as if he had been slapped on the face.Cui Yu looked at him with mocking eyes, and the Secretary-General's expression was meaningful. Only Li Chun blinked at him lightly, signaling him not to disobey the order.

He reacted: "Yes, I have no objection."

Feng Jiling was very satisfied: "Very well, I'm going to talk about it today, and everyone has an idea. This is not punishment, let alone exile. General Xiao is still a pillar of the country, a talent relied on by the command post and the State Affairs Building. He used to be in the The front line contributes to the country, and in the future it is just a different place to contribute to the country." He explained: "Everyone, after the thirteenth district is won, the national strategy will definitely be adjusted, and the next step will definitely be a repair period. The rebels and opportunism that are spreading, this task must be done in cooperation with the Consulting Department. Therefore, your responsibility is not light, Xiaoshan."

This is not a picture, but the truth.The most important significance of the recovery of the thirteen districts is to realize the integrity of the country's territory. This is not only a monumental node in the history of war, but also an important turning point in the country's destiny.Tactics must be changed, and the outside world must be turned inward. There are still a large number of rebels in the country just around the corner. If they cannot be eliminated, it will be a great hidden danger to national security.

This is one of the reasons why the United Front Conference will be held on Monday.

The hearing was shorter than expected. Feng Jiling and Xiaoshan stayed to discuss work alone, and the others left first.

Cui Yu's complexion was even worse than before the meeting, and when he walked out of the conference room, the secretary general also dismissed him: "You are also short-sighted, the surname Xiao has risen faster than the Rockets in the past two years, why? He has followed the commander-in-chief since the defense of the fourth district You have to pick his thorns."

Cui Yu spat: "Hey, an orderly came up by carrying water for washing feet, who doesn't know?"

The secretary shook his head.Xiaoshan's bad background is the most criticized part of him.He was originally an orderly soldier, not a serious gun-wielding soldier. He was spotted by Feng Jiling during the fourth district defense battle, and he was personally trained. Later, he was labeled as a "running dog", "hawk dog", and "Feng Dang" .There was a rumor in the army that soldiers could only take a bath once a month due to the shortage of water in the war, but in the fourth district, Xiaoshan walked three kilometers to the water storage tower every night to fetch water for Feng Jiling to wash his feet, and Feng Jiling was served comfortably.I don't know if this rumor is true, but it is true that after Feng Jiling took the position of commander in chief of the coalition forces, Xiaoshan followed suit.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that in the past few years, the presence of the State Affairs Building has weakened, and the command post has gradually replaced it.Xiaoshan was used to being domineering and domineering in the army, but now he has no restraint, and few troops dare to provoke him.He is also really good, pointing to where to hit, one hit is accurate, and the recovery of the thirteenth district has established his position all at once.

"Anyway, he is also a general now. In the future, the consulting department will be the most important thing. If you offended him today, have you thought about what will happen tomorrow?" the secretary-general said in a low voice.

The reason why running dogs are called running dogs is that the conscience has been eaten.Xiaoshan has a strong desire for revenge, he dared to yell at the senior in front of Feng Jiling today, what else would he not dare to do tomorrow?

"What exactly does the consulting department do?" Cui Yu asked.He seemed never to have heard of the department.

The secretary-general looked around and said cautiously, "The walls have ears, understand?"

Cui Yu was shocked: "Then what should I do?"

The Secretary-General sighed: "You also heard what the commander said just now. Next, we will focus on the investigation of the country. Now that the Consulting Department is in his hands, he will charge you with a braid every minute. You will not be safe at the end of the day! You still scold others You are a running dog, people see you as a stray dog!"

It's actually not that serious.For at least three quarters, Xiaoshan hadn't made up his mind on Old General Cui.

Because Feng Jiling gave him an important task: "Does Alice know? Your first task is to protect this child."

Xiaoshan thought of the little girl he saw at the door just now, and understood: "I see, that's the one at the front desk just now, right?"

"In a while, I will ask Xiao Zhang to bring her to meet you. You should get acquainted with her first. Now, no one can talk, only this child can touch people's hearts. If something happens to her, we have no way to explain to the people." Feng Jiling Seriously said: "I don't trust anyone with this task, only you, Ah Shan, I can only trust you."

Xiaoshan saluted: "Don't worry, I am here, she is here, and I will protect this child with my life."

"Very well, there is one thing, let me tell you in advance, you have to be mentally prepared."

"You say."

"With regard to the child Alice, her situation is a bit special."

"I have seen the news in newspapers and on the Internet."

"No, that's just part of it. This child was not born on the moon. She is of the earth species."

This was really beyond Xiaoshan's expectation: "Isn't there no human beings on the earth?" He was a little confused: "No, the newspaper said that this child was born in a worker's family. Earthborn?"

Feng Jiling looked at him with deep eyes: "So, it is very likely that this child was not born to the worker couple. How was she born, how did she get adopted by a worker's family after she landed on the moon, and what is the current situation on the earth... The investigation has not been clear yet. This is what I hope you will do when you come to the consulting department. The origin of this child and whether there are other people behind her should be investigated for me. Now, her problem is the most concerned by the State Building and the command post question, do you understand?"

Xiao Shan stood at attention: "Yes, I will follow your orders."

The most important thing right now is the United Front Conference on Monday.

"For Monday's meeting, Alice is going. The manuscript has already been written, and she just needs to read along. You have to live with this child first in a short time, and make sure that someone is watching her all the time. All her itineraries It must be recorded and backed up, and sent to the Presidential Palace and the United Front Work Department on time at ten o'clock every night, the president and I each have a copy." Feng Jiling continued.

"Nursing team, including nannies, bodyguards, tutors, secretaries... You are fully responsible for the allocation of these people, and you can report to me when you choose them, but the details of these people must be clear and clean. I don't want anyone in the child Talk nonsense in front of me. If there is anything unclear, you communicate with me directly, and you are only responsible to me and the president for this matter."

Xiaoshan asked: "Does this child know his own life experience?"

Feng Jiling shook his head: "She is still young, she is actually eight years old, let's say she is ten years old."

That is to say, even the child himself has to hide it.

Xiaoshan said: "Since this is the case, it is necessary to make up this story. It is best to be clear about her family background and experience in the factory, so as not to be caught by the loopholes. It is difficult to tell. She herself It’s about knowing the story better than anyone else.”

"That's up to you, Ah Shan. I'll wait for your good news." These were the last words of the commander-in-chief.

At 5:32pm, just as Shen Yizhen turned off the computer and air conditioner, the phone on the desk rang untimely.

He intuitively felt that the call was not a good thing, so he simply pretended not to hear it.

Turning around to go out, a figure with a gun blocked the exit of the office.The young general held up the communicator and smiled at him: "Secretary Shen, deliberately refusing to answer the work call and skipping work, can it be regarded as dereliction of duty?"

Shen Yizhen said patiently: "If you have any orders, please go to the director first."

Xiaoshan flashed a typed draft from behind: "Is this written by you? I don't quite understand a few things, so I need you to tell me. It's okay to talk to the director first, but I have to rush you on the way home from get off work." Isn't it more tiring to come back?"

"The manuscript is for the United Front Work Department, are you the acting commander's squad?" Shen Yizhen thought he was messing around.

The corner of Xiaoshan's mouth twitched: "Who said it was from the United Front Work Department? Isn't the Consulting Department also have a copy?"

What does the Counseling Department have to do with you?Shen Yizhen still wanted to ask, but luckily she wasn't stupid enough to blurt it out.A very bad thought appeared in his head, which made him close his mouth vigilantly and show a cautious look.

Xiao Shan stretched out his hand to him: "Minister of the Consulting Department, Xiao Shan, just arrived at the post today, so I'm sorry for the late introduction. The personnel order will be read out at the meeting on Monday. How is it? Is it enough for you to work overtime?"

Shen Yizhen just wanted to slap him.He even got the apples, ready to enjoy the holiday tonight!

Xiaoshan caressed his side face frivolously: "If not, it's fine if you don't work overtime. Would you like to have dinner with me?"
