Tales of Soldier - Chapter 31

[Chapter 31]

(One chapter is divided into three days to update because the physical book has just been published, the book has just been released, so the update should be slower ^^)

Facing countless reporters, Namha raised his fists angrily and shouted: “Slander! This is slander! This is definitely slander!” I have been walking on thin ice since I was in government, and I have been working day and night without food or sleep, and what I have done is still for the people of Wanluo Federation. I never thought… that someone would slander me! I want to sue the TV station that spread false news!” Said At this point, he raised his voice again.

After Namha’s performance, he just made a gesture to start a question-and-answer session, and a reporter immediately raised his hand and asked, “Sir, is it true that it is rumored that federal prosecutors will investigate you this time?”

“Nothing! If the prosecutor investigates me, do you think I can still stand here and hold a press conference? All these are rumors!” answer.

“Sir, someone has brought a lawsuit against you in court, who do you think this person is?” another reporter asked.

“I’m going to ask you journalists. I didn’t know that someone was suing me until the news was broadcast on TV. But I’m sure that this kind of person out of nothing must be my political enemy, and I hope this will damage my reputation. But he will definitely be disappointed, someone like me who is not afraid of shadows will not be knocked down by these rumors! My supporters will definitely not believe such nonsense!”

At this time, when a reporter stood up to ask questions, he suddenly found that Namha’s face changed, staring blankly at the door of the conference hall. It made him forget to ask questions and turned to look. Namha’s expression and the reporter’s actions made everyone turn their heads back to watch.

Seeing this, everyone was stunned, because four big men in military uniforms walked into the door of the conference hall. A well-informed reporter saw the armbands of the soldiers and couldn’t help but exclaimed: “The law enforcement officer of the military court!” Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Everyone knew that this kind of law enforcement officer was specialized in arresting people who violated the federal military law. , but there are no soldiers here, what are they doing here?

Namha looked at the four soldiers walking towards him in a puzzled way, and turned to his secretary Zhang and asked in a low voice, “What’s going on? Why did the military court appear here? Didn’t you say hello to the marshal? ?”

Secretary Zhang answered puzzled: “Sir, the marshal has promised to use the military’s power to interfere in this matter, and I don’t know why the military court people came here.”

When Namha heard Olmsted’s promise, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. As long as the first person in the army was on his side, he had nothing to be afraid of, and he was not a soldier, and the military court was not qualified to arrest him. These people may have come to inform themselves of something.

Namha thought of this, and hurriedly greeted the four law enforcement officers who were already standing in front of him with a kind smile. But before asking them what was going on, a law enforcement officer standing in the first place took out a piece of paper from his arms with a grim expression and said, “According to Chanamha, he colluded with arms manufacturers and used the president during his tenure. The power forcibly decides the type of warships purchased by the army, and obtains huge rebates from them, thus causing our Wanluo Federation soldiers to suffer a large number of casualties due to the low quality of warships. The crime of endangering military personnel in Article 345 of the Federal Constitution is now arrested!”

Namha was stunned when he heard it. He was in a daze not because there was no such thing, but because it was a very confidential matter. Why would the military court know? Apart from the arms dealer and himself, no one should know about it!

When Namha was thinking hard, those reporters were already holding up their cameras to take pictures, and they all knew that this time it was really big news. Namha, who often shouts to protect the interests of soldiers outside, actually colludes with arms dealers to supply the army with fake warships!

“I’m sorry, please come with us.” The leader of the law enforcement officer saw Namha staying there, winked, and two of the law enforcement officers behind him immediately came over and squeezed Namha’s arm tightly. Stand up and go.

Only then did Namha react, struggling and shouting: “Let go of me! This is slander! Rumor!

Framed! “He looked at his personal bodyguards for help, but those bodyguards pretended not to see his gaze, either lowered their heads or turned their heads sideways.

These bodyguards are usually very rude, because the boss they are with is the president of the Federation. Usually, people like myself can beat the police if they don’t like the eye, and they can even fight with the military police without getting caught, but now they can only act with their tails between their tails when they see law enforcement officers. The reason is very simple, offend the police and the gendarmerie, just offend their superiors, and the boss can pass the test with a little pressure. But the magistrates represent the majesty of the entire federal army, to stop them? 100% will be shot to death by robbery, and it is still a very disreputable method of death. It seems that these people are going to find another boss.

Namha saw that his bodyguard was unreliable, so he couldn’t help but curse, but now is not the time to think about it. Namha hurriedly turned his eyes to Secretary Zhang, winking desperately, asking him to go to Olmsted for help.

But Namha suddenly felt that his whole body was cold, because he saw that Secretary Zhang actually gave him a sneer, then turned and left. Could it be that this was not done by Chen Yu, but by Secretary Zhang, who was a trusted confidant? But why did he do it? It doesn’t do him any good at all. Or is my enemy paying him a high price? It’s impossible. All his secret funds are handed over to him for profit, even if the interest in the bank is astronomical.

bad! Namha knew why Secretary Zhang betrayed himself, because then all the secret funds were his! no! Can’t let this traitor swallow my money! Namha opened his mouth, ready to drag Secretary Zhang into the water. But at this time, one of the law enforcement officers who clamped him whispered in Namha’s ear: “Your secretary is not called Kaijie Zhang, but Zhang Huhun.”

“Zhang Huhun?” Namha was stunned when he heard the name, but for a moment, when he remembered something, Namha moaned with a livid face: “Zhang Huhun, Zhang Junlong’s eldest son!” After coming down, he was carried away by the law enforcement officer without any resistance.

In a villa in the Federal Capital, sitting on the sofa with Erlang’s legs crossed, Chen Yu, who was tired of shaking his wine glass while watching the news, smiled grimly, as if saying to himself: “Take his illness to kill him. , spread the information about Namha.”

A figure suddenly walked out of a corner where the projector’s light could not shine. This person bowed to Chen Yu’s back and said, “Yes.”

Chen Yu took a sip of the fine wine in the wine glass, and then raised the wine glass to observe the bright colors against the light.

The shadow didn’t leave either, just stood there quietly.

After a while, Chen Yucai said slowly: “Do you know who jumped out first?”

“It’s Namha’s first secretary.” The shadow replied very succinctly.

“Oh, Secretary Zhang, I’ve met him a few times. I didn’t expect this taciturn young man to be so cruel. Find out why he betrayed? It should be for the secret funds of Namha.” Chen Yu finished He smiled and took another sip of the wine.

“I can’t find it, but I found another identity of Secretary Zhang.” The shadow just closed his mouth halfway through.

When things are not urgent, Chen Yu likes his subordinates to not give the answer directly, because it can exercise his thinking ability.

“Oh, I can’t find out his motive, and he has another identity. Being able to become Namha’s first secretary with a fake identity not only shows that he is very capable, but also proves that he has a lot of power behind him. It’s a big force. Which force does he belong to?” Chen Yu can probably guess which force behind him is, and now he is waiting to prove whether he is right. Of course, he won’t tell his guesses. If something is wrong, it will not only embarrass his subordinates, but also make them laugh.

“His real name is Zhang Huhun.” The shadow knew that if he told the boss too much, he would be considered to be showing off, so he could only say words that could represent that person’s power.

Chen Yu, who is also the chief of the two departments of national defense and intelligence, immediately knew what the name Zhang Huhun represented.

He opened his mouth in surprise and wanted to say something, but he quickly closed his mouth, raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp, and after heaved a sigh of relief, he said slowly: “Investigate what Zhang Junlong and Zhang Huhun are going to do. , Namha’s secret funds are not in the eyes of the king of the north, they must have some purpose in doing this.” He waved his hand to let the man back off.

I don’t know how long it took, Chen Yucai’s weak forehead said to himself: “How can it be Zhang Junlong? It should be Olmsted who should cross Namha. Zhang Junlong, the king of the north, has always acted in a low-key manner. , do not interfere in politics, and now suddenly let my son do such a big thing, what is it for?”

※※※

In the Marshal’s Mansion, Olmsted, who was sitting at the desk, looked at the two holographic projection busts in front of him with a smile. On the left is a middle-aged man wearing the uniform of a four-star general of the Federation. His jet-black hair, Gala, is combed back very closely. His ordinary facial features are full of mighty aura because of his gleaming eyes.

On the right is a very gentle young man wearing a neat black suit, white shirt, and black tie. It’s just the faint smile on the corner of the young man’s mouth that makes him look a little arrogant.

The four-star general said first, “Old friend, I’ll ask you to take care of my son.” The young man lowered his head slightly when he heard this.

Olmsted said with a smile: “I said Junlong, what are you asking for? I have always regarded Tiger Soul’s nephew as my son. If I need my help, do you still ask me?”

Zhang Junlong listened, nodded with a smile and said nothing, but his sharp eyes glanced at the young man. The young man took advantage of the situation and lowered his slightly lowered head, bowed and said respectfully, “Thank you uncle, please continue to take care of your nephew in the future.”

Olmsted smiled and nodded and said, “I don’t need to say more, and then treat me as an outsider. Tiger Soul, have you taken over Namha’s site? Is there any problem?”

Zhang Huhun said respectfully: “Yes, there is no problem. Because over the years, Mr. Namha’s nephews have done all the elections and relations with voters. It can be said that voters are familiar with Mr. Namha. , it is better to be familiar with my nephew. After the accident of Mr. Namha, the voters offered to let me run for Mr. Namha.”

When Olmsted heard that Zhang Huhun still called Namha Mr., he couldn’t help but look at him carefully. Olmsted knew that Zhang Huhun was not used to calling him and couldn’t change his words, but he didn’t know whether it was because he admired Namha that he continued to call him Mr., or was it because of politeness? If it is the latter reason, then this young man is very deep, and he is able to maintain the courtesy of the person he framed in front of his own people.

Thinking of this, Olmsted sighed and said, “It’s a pity that you can’t run jointly with Chen Yu. Namha and Chen Yu are opponents. It turned out that the voters who supported Namha could not agree with you and Chen Yu to join forces. , otherwise you are qualified to serve as vice president.” Speaking of this, Olmsted laughed: “But don’t be discouraged, with the support of the legislators sent by your father and I, the Speaker of the House can still be elected. ”

When Olmsted said this, he kept secretly paying attention to the expressions of the two fathers and sons, and saw that although they had faint smiles on their faces, there was a slight sense of steadiness in their expressions. Seeing this scene, Olmsted couldn’t help but groaned in his heart. It seemed that the legislators supported by the Junlong faction must have accounted for the majority of all seats, otherwise they wouldn’t show such an expression.

“Well, it’s a pity. Because of the last incident of impersonating merit, all the legislators who were publicly supported by the military have fallen. Although I have always supported my own spokespersons in the dark, there are not many people. Look at them. , the people that the Junlong faction secretly support must be much more than themselves.”

While Olmsted was thinking, Zhang Junlong said aloud: “Chen Yu has already ranked first in the vote, and the president’s throne is guaranteed. The first person in the Federation with the defense department and intelligence will definitely not Let the people in our military system have a better time. In order to contain him in the House, I think we should be honest with each other. This is the list of congressional candidates supported by my faction, and 70% of them have already won the election.”

Following Zhang Junlong’s words, a miniature screen appeared in front of Olmsted, and the names were slowly scrolling. Olmsted pressed the infrared electronic touch keyboard on the table, and immediately knew that there were 7,000 people on the list, of which more than 5,000 had already qualified as a member of parliament. Among the 20,000 seats, it was already known who made them sit for more than 5,000 seats. Do you know if the figure of more than 5,000 people is true? It should be much less than the real number.

Olmsted raised his head and smiled and said, “Although I don’t have a faction, there are thousands of people who are friends who have successfully run for election. I’ll send you their list.” He pressed a few buttons.

The image of Zhang Junlong seems to be looking down at something. It took a long time to see him raise his head and glance at his son inadvertently, and then said with a smile: “I can’t see it, you have so many friends who have succeeded in the election, let Tiger Soul visit. Are they?”

“This is naturally necessary, otherwise how can I contain Chen Yu? I will introduce Tiger Soul to them.” Olmsted said with a smile.

Zhang Huhun received the list of parliamentarians supported by Olmsted from his father, and when he saw that there were 3,000 people on it, he couldn’t help jumping in his heart, and adding the 2,000 people he had hidden on his side, the number of seats for 20,000 people would be enough. accounted for more than half, reaching 52% of the seats. Don’t underestimate the 2%, this is the power that can really control the Federation!

Olmsted started typing on the keyboard when the two fathers and sons were passing the documents. At this time, he said to Zhang Huhun, “I have sent them the letter of introduction. You can contact them at any time.”

This kind of contact with thousands of people is usually through holographic projection, just like Olmsted and the others, otherwise who has the energy to meet thousands of people one by one? Of course, for very confidential matters or in order to cultivate feelings, they would still meet in person.

Zhang Junlong nodded to Zhang Huhun and said, “Look, how much your uncle takes care of you, and he opened the letter of introduction after he finished speaking. Why don’t you hurry up and contact those members?”

Zhang Huhun knew that his father had something to say to Olmsted, and it was probably a topic that could not be discussed. He might get angry if he stayed here, so he quickly thanked Olmsted and turned off the communicator. Connection.

“Your Excellency Marshal, there is no conflict on the border now. I don’t know when the high-level warships under the military region of Xiaguan will be able to return to the station? Of course, the commander of the military region, Xiaguan, has no opinion on this. We are all federal soldiers, those warships. It’s a battleship of the Federation, and it’s a word from the Federation wherever it is stationed. But the soldiers in the northern part of the army kept complaining at me, saying that they didn’t dare to complain during the war, but now there is no war. The battleships are all concentrated on one planet, and they are crowded to death. When will they be able to go back? Because these words made my ears callous, so the lower official came to ask His Excellency the Marshal.” Zhang Junlong looked closely after saying this. Olmsted.

Olmsted knew what Zhang Junlong was going to say when he let his son leave first. Although Zhang Junlong still had 150,000 warships under his command, it was a pity that these were all middle and lower tier warships and transport ships of various types. Only less than 60% of the original left, of course, anxious about those advanced warships.

After the border conflict ended, there were not a hundred or dozens of officers who had expressed their desire to transfer the high-level warships back to their original locations. Some of these people say that the strength of defending the border is not enough, and some say that the strength of fighting against space pirates is not enough. In fact, they are not all trying to preserve their own strength. It seems that warlords are slowly starting to separate the Federation. Thinking of this, Olmsted secretly laughed in his heart, because the military regions will have such great power, which is the result of their own decades.

Of course, these thoughts flashed in his mind. Olmsted nodded as soon as Zhang Junlong finished his words and said, “I was about to tell you about this. Originally, after the conflict ended and the empire did not continue to invade. , has prepared to transfer the high-level warships back to their original locations during the general election. However, during this period, Muenres encroached on the credit incident. Although a wanted order was issued, the South did not pay attention to it. Hong Kong expels the personnel sent to arrest.”

“Your Excellency is saying that the Reis faction will rebel? How can his mere 100,000 warships of the middle and lower tiers be the opponents of hundreds of thousands of warships of the Federation? Please rest assured, no other military regions need to do anything, as long as you transfer the high-level warships of the Northern Military Region. Come back, the subordinate dares to issue a military order and immediately arrest Muenres and his son!” Zhang Junlong continued to stare at Olmsted tightly after speaking.

Olmsted sighed and said: “Well, of course I know that as long as your northern military region can destroy Muen Reis. But the high-level warships of the Reis faction on Haike Star are 3,000 huge, if they will occupy the vast majority The warships of your northern military region that suppressed the superiority were transferred. Once they colluded with the empire, the front of our federation would collapse immediately. Even if they did not treason and detain other warships with the slogan of stopping the civil war, the entire border would immediately become chaotic. ”

Zhang Junlong said indifferently: “Your Excellency Marshal can replace the commanders of these warships, or for safety, replace all the southern personnel, isn’t it an order?”

Olmsted spread his hands and said helplessly: “It’s hard, don’t they know the reason for us to do this?

This will only make them rebel early! Even if they don’t rebel, they can evade by obeying the orders of their immediate superiors. The orders of my marshal are not good enough. ”

Zhang Junlong raised his eyebrows. He already knew what Olmster meant. It turned out that he hoped that the marshal could order any soldier’s decree to be passed sooner.

When Zhang Junlong first heard this decree proposal, he knew that it was a sword of Shang Fang against his own military commanders. Because of this decree, the marshal has the right to directly place his cronies in the key departments of each military region, and at the same time, he can transfer the henchmen of the military region commander to other places. In a sense, it’s a good thing for the federal army, but it’s not so good for the commanders of their own military districts. Originally, he wanted his son to control the House of Representatives, so he delayed the implementation of this decree. Now it seems that Olmsted has traded with him a high-level warship from the Northern Military Region.

“In order to prevent accidents, we can do it first. In Haikexing, there are at least tens of thousands of high-level warships outside the Reis faction, and these warships can completely wipe out the battleships of the Reis faction. As long as you order, the subordinate is willing to personally Go to command.” Zhang Junlong weighed it and felt that it was still not worthwhile, and he would rather wear out some high-level warships than let that decree pass.

“It’s impossible. What reason do we use to destroy them? Is it to prevent them from mutiny in the future? This simply won’t work.” Olmstor shook his head hurriedly.

Zhang Junlong looked at Olmsted silently, and after a long time, he said aloud: “Xiaoguan understands, then let’s wait until Your Excellency has transferred those people away before discussing the topic of the high-level warships being transferred back to various military regions. Ah, Yes, Muenres has contacted us four-star generals. He said that he was framed. I don’t know if I can believe his words. Okay, then I will contact you next time.” After saying this, he meant Taking a long look at Olmsted, he turned off the communication.

Olmsted looked at the empty office with a smile on his lips, and said something inexplicable to himself: “It seems that a real war is needed.”

After taking a floating car and a transport ship, Tang Long finally arrived outside the commander’s office of the Bone Dragon Cloud Galaxy Military Region after spending several hours. The military police took Tang Long to the door and left.

“Report!” Tang Long shouted in a salute to the closed door. At this time, the detectors placed on both sides of the door sent out two faint rays of light to scan Tang Long. Then, with a sound of B, the door opened automatically.

“Damn, the door has to be checked before the door is opened. Could there be an assassin who will come to assassinate him?” Tang Long, who thought that the door would open when he stood at the door, muttered to himself. He would complain about even this kind of thing, mainly because he had to salute again after he went in.

When Tang Long entered, he saw the middle-aged soldier standing in front of the large table at first sight. He had seen this person before, and it was this person who gave him the order to resist the enemy army desperately. Those three shining gold stars are really disgusting. Although Tang Long was thinking wildly in his heart, he still gave an impeccable military salute with no expression on his face, and said respectfully, “Hello sir!”

Admiral Guao waved his hand in return, and said with a smile: “Thank you for your hard work, hero of our Federation. Come, let’s sit and talk.” He pointed to the sofa in the corner of the room.

“Thank you.” Tang Long maintained an icy expression, his hands on his knees, and his waist was so straight that he sat on the edge of the sofa, but he just kept listening to the commander’s words. It was only after the young and beautiful female orderlies brought black tea that he nodded slightly and thanked him.

Of course, Tang Long also noticed that the beautiful orderly looked at him secretly, but he didn’t think about other aspects, instead he thought: “I wonder if this female soldier has the same relationship with this general? If If there is, how can we collect evidence?” Ganqing is thinking about how to use everything he sees now. Admiral Guao, who is arrogant and irrelevant, doesn’t know that this subordinate is thinking about how to ruin his reputation.

“That incident was mainly what Muenres and Lieutenant General Soth did. Later, Lieutenant General Soth found out in his conscience, with his impartiality and self-discipline, and under the investigation of the Marshal himself, you finally saw the light of day…” Tang Long listened to Admiral Gu Ao constantly talking, the main content is that without Lieutenant General Soth and Marshal, especially without the help and impartiality of his general, the lieutenant himself would not even think about turning over.

Tang Long sneered secretly in his heart, don’t think that he has been locked up for so long and doesn’t know what’s going on outside. The first thing he does when he comes out is to look for the archived news. In the whole thing, that Soth Hai protected someone he knew and denounced Muenres, while the marshal kicked Muenres out, but you, the general, did nothing at all. How many times have you repeated your compliment to yourself?

“I’m sorry sir, I don’t know how the comrades in the ship under the lower official are doing now?” Tang Long finally waited for the opportunity for Admiral Gu Ao to drink tea and immediately asked.

“Oh, they, when it comes to them, this is related to the reason why I want to meet you.” Gu Ao put down the teacup and stared at Tang Long, and when he saw Tang Long looking at him with the same expression, he said slowly. : “You can imagine that this incident is a major blow to the reputation of our military. The number of people applying for enlistment this year alone has dropped by 50% compared with the previous year, and the number of applicants for retirement is even more than the previous year. It’s 200% more, and from that you can see the seriousness of the matter.”

Tang Long, of course, knew how badly that incident had hit the military’s reputation. When he heard the news, he had a feeling that the army was so dark. Those people who know the truth probably feel the same way in their hearts. Who would want to stay in the army with that feeling.

Seeing Tang Long nodding, General Gu Ao continued: “So in order to stabilize the military’s morale, our headquarters hopes that you will not mention this matter. As for the people, they are very forgetful, and I believe they will forget about it soon. When the time comes, the prestige of our army will rise again. I believe that as a soldier, you will agree. ”

Tang Long was stunned when he heard this, and thought in his heart: “Threats? I wonder if this matter can be used to frame him?” Of course, he denied it all at once, and he didn’t want to be pointed at him all day long. , Besides, this is the decision of the entire army high-level, and he is not stupid enough to go against all the high-ranking officials.

Admiral Gu Ao saw Tang Long lowered his head and didn’t speak, thinking he was unwilling, and hurriedly continued: “All of your comrades in arms have agreed, and in order to compensate you, we can meet a reasonable request for each of you.”

“Can you meet a reasonable request for each of us?” Tang Long asked in surprise. In his opinion, it is very simple to ask him not to mention it. How could the top military officials make such a promise? Woolen cloth?

“Yes, as long as it’s reasonable, you can ask for anything.” Gu Ao smiled when he saw Tang Long’s appearance. Although he didn’t understand why the top military officials should take care of these lower-level non-commissioned officers, he was able to complete the task. Just one more.

“Sir, take the liberty to ask, can I know what my comrades-in-arms’ requirements are?” Tang Long said eagerly.

“Hehe, this kid, dare to refer to it before making a decision.” Although Gu Ao thought about it in his heart, he immediately replied: “They all asked to go to the Non-commissioned Officer Academy for further study.”

“Non-commissioned officers academy?” Tang Long was a little puzzled. They are already non-commissioned officers, why are they still entering the non-commissioned officers academy?

Gu Ao knew Tang Long’s appearance and knew that he had misunderstood: “Hehe, the non-commissioned officer academy is a place for officers who are not graduates of the National Defense University to study, of course, it is also the best shortcut for non-commissioned officers to be promoted to lower-level officers, but not everyone is eligible to enter. Yes. When they came out, they were at least a second lieutenant.”

Of course, Tang Long heard Gu Ao hinting that he was asking for this, but first, he didn’t like to read, and second, he was already a lieutenant, so he didn’t get in.

Gu Ao saw Tang Long frowned and didn’t say anything. Knowing that Tang Long didn’t like this, he said again: “Come on, say it and listen, what is your request?”

“Well, I don’t know if the subordinate can be the commander of the battleship?” Although Tang Long’s expression was still indifferent, his eyes radiated hot light.

Gu Ao’s heart skipped a beat, he had seen this light himself, and every time he looked in the mirror, he could see it. He knew very well what light it was looking for.

Gu Ao frowned, he didn’t like seeing the same eyes as himself in other people’s eyes, he took a sip from the teacup and said, “Although you can be promoted to major general based on your last contribution, it is undeniable that you violated the The order I gave – stick to it!” Saying this, Guao’s eyes radiated indifference.

Tang Long immediately lowered his head in a guilty conscience, but he snorted coldly in his heart: “Damn it, stick to it? You bastard, 90% of the 10,000 self-propelled gunboats were wiped out without even seeing the shadow of the enemy, if it wasn’t for me Taking advantage of the enemy’s mentality that we would escape and underestimate the enemy, I counterattacked once, and since they hadn’t reacted yet, they started to flee, and I have now become cosmic dust!”

Seeing Tang Long bowing his head, Guao smiled proudly and continued: “However, although you committed the crime of violating the military order, it became lighter after being imprisoned. It is very huge, so with the approval of the military department, it is decided to promote you to captain, even if the crime of violating the military order is eliminated, it will not be recorded in your file. Do you have any opinions on such a decision? ”

“No! Thank you sir for cultivating!” Tang Long stood up abruptly and gave a salute. Although his heart blossomed, he still kept a cold expression on his face. Thinking about it, how could he have an opinion? He originally thought it would be fine if he was not punished and downgraded, but he did not expect to be promoted to one level. Haha, a 19-year-old captain, thinking of this, would laugh in his dreams.
