Tales of Soldier - Chapter 32

[Chapter 32]

Seeing the scorching eyes on Tang Long’s icy face, Gu Ao couldn’t help but feel agitated, waved Tang Long to sit down, calmed down and said, “Although your current rank is captain, commanding the battleship is not enough. Grid, transport ships can still be negotiated.”

In fact, the rank of federal captain can serve as the commander of a B-class patrol ship, and can also command a team of 10 A-class patrol boats excluding the flagship. This is the lowest-level battleship team commander in the Federation.

Here’s a look at the rank and number of command warships that match the rank of federal warships under normal conditions:

Federal battleship model data The number of commanders who use this as the flagship rank commander can command (including the flagship)

The admiral can command 4 fleets The four-star general can command all fleet marshals in the military area and command all the federal troops

This kid can make such a big contribution just by relying on the cannon fodder self-propelled gunship, let him command a small team of regular warships, isn’t that a bigger credit? Although this is a guess, Gu Ao doesn’t like people with hot eyes very much. This kind of guy must be his strong opponent in the future, and he must not cultivate his future enemies! Guao thought secretly. Because he knew that the battleship was the guarantee of merit, he was unwilling to let Tang Long have the opportunity to make great merits.

“Can the lower official continue to serve as the commander of the self-propelled gunboat?” Tang Long was reluctant to command the transport ship. If he wanted to teach these senior officials a lesson, he must make great contributions, and only commanding the battleship can make great contributions.

When Guao heard this, he was a little surprised and said: “Self-propelled gunboat? Didn’t you watch the news… Oh, I forgot you came out. Tell you, after the last border conflict, the military found that the self-propelled gunboat was very inferior. .I believe you also know that those traitors who drive self-propelled gunboats to chase you, didn’t they suddenly blew themselves up? It was caused by the overheating of the warship’s power furnace, and the former President Namha who ordered the military to buy self-propelled gunboats It’s been reviewed. Now that your ship is in stock as an exhibit, there are no self-propelled gunboats in the entire army. If you really want to command a warship, it’s only the commander of a transport ship.”

Seeing Tang Long frowning, Gu Ao continued: “If you really don’t want to be the commander of the transport fleet, you can be the commander of the combat soldier. You are very suitable for this.” He said that he did not wait. Tang Long replied, got up and went to the desk to get a computer card and hand it to Tang Long.

Tang Long hurriedly got up and took it respectfully, and at Gu Ao’s gesture, he pressed the button of the card, and the data in the card appeared as an image.

Guao lit a cigarette, took a puff and said, “How about it, isn’t it bad? That’s a Marine Corps of 20,000 people, at least a lieutenant colonel can be the commander. But if your request is to serve as this Commander of the Marine Corps, I will make sure you do.”

Although Tang Long listened intently to the words of General Gu Ao, he had already read the information and scolded him in his heart: “Fuck! A commander who can only be a lieutenant colonel can be a captain? How can it be so good? This is waiting for me! Isn’t this intentional to hurt me! Damn, not to mention that there is a distance of nearly 10 light years from the first front line of Haikexing, there is still a security base built on an unmanned star. Go there Not to mention fighting with the Imperial Army, there is not even a shadow of a pirate. If you want to make a contribution, wait for the next life! And although I was born in a combat soldier, I am also a captain of a battleship now, so I want to be a combat soldier commander. , isn’t it a disguised downgrade?”

The main body of modern warfare is warships, so warship officers are much more senior than those combat soldiers. With the same rank, a colonel who commands 1,000 warships of various types has more than 100,000 soldiers under his command, including logistics.

And a colonel of a combat division can command up to 50,000 people.

Tang Long scolded this in his heart. Although he didn’t know why the officer didn’t want to make a contribution to himself, he also knew that the officer was uneasy and kind. Although he has decided to refuse, he still put on a very embarrassed expression and said: “Thank you for your love, sir, but the subordinate has never commanded so many people. I am worried that my ability is not enough, and I will discredit you, sir.”

Gu Ao waved his hand and smiled: “No problem, I believe in your ability, and there… ho ho, anyway, I believe in you, even if there is something, I will help you bear it.”

Hearing that Gu Ao suddenly changed his words, Tang Long was even more reluctant to go, and he said quickly: “Sir, it’s not that the subordinate did not obey the order, but… in the last war, because of the incompetence of the subordinate, he almost let his own The subordinates died, so the subordinate still has lingering fears that he can’t take on such a heavy responsibility, and I don’t know if the subordinate can’t be the pilot of the fighter plane?”

Gu Ao heard Tang Long’s opening sentence and interjected with a smile: “This is not a problem. No officer can guarantee that his subordinates will not sacrifice. If you look at it, everything will be as if it never happened…” Gu Ao didn’t know this sentence. Let Tang Long completely regard him as the first person to be framed. He heard Tang Long’s last sentence and said: “Oh? You mean you are going to be a driver?”

“Yes, the lower official is willing to serve as a space fighter pilot.” Tang Long would decide this way, one reason why he was unwilling to become a combat soldier according to Gu Ao’s proposal, but the most important reason was that it was easier for a fighter pilot to be promoted than a combat soldier!

Tang Long has a very strange character, and I believe Tang Long himself does not know it. During the border conflict, Tang Long was fine in the face of tens of thousands of deaths, but when he fled in the later period of the conflict, he suddenly gave up on himself and began to grieve for those who died. And later decided not to serve in the army for this reason.

But after he knew that he was framed and persecuted, he immediately changed his decision and began to desperately want to be promoted in order to oppress those high-ranking officials. Now he will never doubt whether he has the ability to bear the lives of others. The words he just said about his ability are only used to persuade Guao to change his mind.

In general, Tang Long’s current character is: after deciding on a path, he rushes forward without thinking, and he will not reflect on his original decision until he hits a wall. But this introspection would be immediately drawn to his newfound path, causing him to forget the last introspection. I don’t know if his character is making him go around in circles? Or let him be smooth sailing?

Gu Ao exhaled and squinted at Tang Long, who was sitting opposite him. He was making a decision in his heart: space fighter pilot? This is one of the weapons with the most casualties in the war. This brat who came from a combat soldier must be ready to fight… hehe, this is much more fun than making him a base garrison commander… ah, wait! Combat soldier!

Gu Ao suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Tang Long and said, “Do you have a space fighter pilot’s license?”

“Space fighter pilot’s license?” Tang Long repeated this sentence blankly. He didn’t have it, because no one told him that he needed a driver’s license to fly a space fighter.

Hearing this, and seeing Tang Long’s stunned expression, Gu Ao knew that he had asked an idiot question, how could someone from a combat soldier have a fighter pilot’s license. Guao, who originally wanted to refuse, suddenly thought: “Isn’t it better? People without a driver’s license will fly a fighter jet. Hehe, I really look forward to this kid’s combat performance.”

Although Gu Ao has already made a decision, if Tang Long knows nothing, it would be really troublesome, so Gu Ao asked again: “Then have you ever played fighter games?”

“Well, I often play while reading, but it’s not very good.” Tang Long nodded humbly.

Gu Ao laughed secretly when he heard this: “I believe you are not too good, but it’s good to play, otherwise I don’t know how to let you go to research.” Thinking of this, he stood up and smiled: “Your request is this. ?”

Tang Long also hurriedly stood up and nodded respectfully.

Gu Ao patted Tang Long on the shoulder and said, “Okay, originally you could not become a pilot without a driver’s license, but since it is your request, I will make an exception and hold a separate pilot qualification test for you. As long as you pass the test, I will I’ll transfer you to the flying team immediately.”

“Thank you sir!” Tang Long gave a standard military salute with scorching rays of light in his eyes.

Gu Ao, who was happy to call the adjutant to come in, saw Tang Long’s eyes, and an inexplicable feeling of irritability filled his heart again. He secretly made up his mind that he must not let this kid get up!

A 30-year-old lieutenant of the lieutenant colonel walked in. After a casual salute, Guao pointed to Tang Long and said to the adjutant: “Take him to the logistics department, change him to the rank of captain, and then take him to the training ground to prepare him for the pilot qualification test.” Tang Long saluted and waved his hand to let Tang Long follow the adjutant.

After the door closed, Gu Ao took a deep breath and scolded fiercely: “Fuck! What the hell is going on at the top of the military to make me, the general, speak in a low voice to these soldiers!” He stared at the closed door and continued. He scolded: “Damn! A little captain has so many demands! You can still afford to be a base commander for you. Humph! You’re shameless, I’ll see how long you can live as a pilot!”

Guao scolded this, took a breath, came to sit down in a chair, and lit a cigarette. But as soon as he took a breath, he stood up abruptly and said, “No! I can’t even give him a chance!” Then he pressed a few buttons on the table, and an image appeared on the table. Gu Ao said indifferently to the image: “My adjutant will take a captain named Tang Long to take the pilot’s qualification certificate test. No matter what method you use, you must let him pass the test. Also, when he finishes the test, you will tell him, He was transferred to the SK23 flying company and told him to set off immediately.” After saying that, Guao turned off the communicator before the man agreed.

Gu Ao looked at the scene outside the window and said to himself: “Damn, I don’t even give you the last chance to make a contribution, but let you go to the SK23 company, it is worthy of you as a hero, at least there is boundless happiness! “Speaking of this, Guao showed an inexplicable smirk on his face.

However, Gu Ao’s lewd laugh didn’t last long, he sat irritably on the chair, looked at the scenery outside the window with a very ugly face, and muttered to himself: “Damn! The thought of that guy has a hotter than me. The look in the eyes that yearns for fame makes me feel disgusting!…Really, there are countless people in the Federation who yearn for fame, why did I meet such a person? Damn it! If this false fire is not eliminated, I am so fucking uncomfortable! ‘ said and pressed a button.

Not long after the button was pressed, the beautiful logistics soldier who was serving tea and pouring water had a charming smile on her face. Beside Guao, who started to rush.

Guao, who recovered his peace of mind, smoked a cigarette with a greasy expression. At this time, the communicator on the table made a BB sound, and Gu Ao clicked it casually. After the image of a middle-aged soldier appeared, Gu Ao knew that he was here to report Tang Long’s exam.

The soldier saluted and said, “Sir, Captain Tang Long passed the exam successfully and has now gone to the Cosmos Harbor with your adjutant.”

“Well, what level did you give him?” Gu Ao asked casually, if it wasn’t for the fact that he couldn’t start the fighter computer without a driver’s license, he wouldn’t be so troublesome, and asked Tang Long to go directly to the flying team early in the morning.

“Sir report, Captain Tang Long is a super elite, and he is a rare genius! After the computer test and evaluation, his driving ability is S-class!” The soldier seemed a little excited. There are no more than 100 fighter pilots. And the entire Bone Dragon Cloud Galaxy is only one, and now there is one more, how can we not make the officer in charge of the pilot qualification level evaluation excited.

“Well, I see.” Gu Ao nodded and cut off the communication. After lighting a cigarette, he looked at the misty smoke and said to himself with a smile: “Hehe, he must think that Tang Long is someone from me, not only flattering but also flattering. Also gave an S-class. Well, it’s better that way, S-class pilots will definitely be assigned to perform the most dangerous missions.”

Sitting in the first-class cabin of the transport plane, Tang Long proudly tossed the soldier card. Now he has the qualifications of an S-class pilot. As long as he destroys more than 5 enemy fighter planes in the war, he can be promoted to another level!

Thinking of S-level, Tang Long couldn’t help thinking of what happened when he was given an SS-level password level by the computer sister when he first came out of the training base. Thinking of this, Tang Long couldn’t help looking at the dark starry sky outside and sighed: “I don’t know where Sister Computer went. The first thing I did was to call her secretly on the computer, but unfortunately there was no response. Is she real? Hate me?”

During the days when the computer sister left, Tang Long found that he had regarded the computer sister as his relatives, as important as his parents. Now he only hopes to meet computer sister again, and wants to say sorry to her and ask her to forgive.

Thinking that he might not be able to meet Sister Computer anymore, Tang Long felt a sad feeling in his heart. He shook his head hurriedly, dispelling the uncomfortable feeling. He began to think about the phone call with his family before boarding the plane: it was his mother who answered the phone. You could tell by her appearance that she had lost weight. He had left home and joined the army for more than a year, but he had never had a chance to contact his family. . Thinking of how his mother cried with joy when he saw him, Tang Long felt that the corners of his eyes were still a little sour until now.

Compared with before, my current appearance has changed a lot, and my mother can recognize it at a glance. She really deserves to be a mother. But what is very strange is that when I thought I was going to be scolded by my mother for joining the army, my mother didn’t mention a word, just said: “I know from TV, don’t worry, my mother understands.”

I don’t understand why my mother said these words at all, understand? What does mom understand? Understand that I was locked up and falsely claimed credit? He wanted to ask for more details, so the adjutant urged him to make a long story short.

I had to report to my mother what I had encountered these days in a few words. Of course, the machine instructor, computer sister, robot and the like would not be said. When I told my mother about my promotion to captain, I was surprised to see her mother, then she was happy, and I couldn’t be more proud of myself. Having someone happy for your happiness is a very happy thing. It seems so true.

The only regret is that I can’t get in touch with my father. I really don’t understand. My father’s company is an unremarkable machinery manufacturing company with no business. Why is it so busy all day. And just as I remembered, whenever I asked this question, my mother’s expression became a little weird, and she turned to other topics.

When I told my mother about the filth of those high-level government officials, my mother, who was always weak, actually scolded and told those bastards to die! I was stunned on the spot. In my memory, my mother never seemed to have said anything rude, let alone cursed.

Before I could ask my mother why it became like this, my mother said with an embarrassed face that she would go home when she had a holiday, and then cut off the communication. Really, what are you doing? My son hasn’t seen him for more than a year and doesn’t even look at him.

Thinking back to Tang Long here, I suddenly realize that I don’t seem to understand my parents very well. He touched his chin and muttered, “Why does meeting my mother feel familiar yet strange? In my own impression, my mother is a housewife who rarely goes out, and my father is the boss of a small company, busy with work all day. Except for my grandparents who have been dead for many years, I have no other relatives and no friends at all. By the way, although I know that my father’s company is a machine manufacturer, I don’t know what it produces, and I haven’t been to my father’s once when I am so old. What about the company. Is there a big secret hidden in my house?”

The more Tang Long thinks about it, the more right he is. From his memories over the years, he can find that his home is indeed a bit weird. There are always a few times a year when his parents stay at home but ask him to go out to play. Once he came back early and found them He seemed to be hurrying to hide something. It’s not because my mother has become weird this time, and I can’t remember it.

Tang Long smiled: “My parents are definitely not ordinary people, otherwise I am so smart and so powerful? And it is normal for my mother to say foul language, so it can explain why I like to say foul language, because it is genetic inheritance Well.”

Tang Longzheng decided to go home after a vacation to check it out, but when the spacecraft’s horn came: “Arrived at Jutu planet, about to enter the space port, please fasten your seat belts.”

Tang Long immediately threw his decision there, and it was a long, long time ago when Tang Long learned of the family’s secret. Tang Long looked at the loudspeaker and exclaimed in surprise: “Jutuxing? Where is that? Why isn’t it Haikexing? How could I be assigned to Jutuxing!” Although he was yelling, he quickly fastened his seat belt. Of course, it is also necessary to scolded the general Guao in his heart! He didn’t dare to scold him. Although he was the only one in the first class cabin, who knew if it would be recorded?

Tang Long got off the spacecraft and came to the waiting room. Looking at the huge waiting room, all people in military uniforms. Although he knew that this might be a military planet, Tang Long immediately found a consulting room because he wanted to Know where this Jupiter star is.

Seeing the computer girl appearing, Tang Long reflexively shouted: “Eldest sister!” But the computer girl did not show the expression Tang Long was expecting, and still kept a mechanized smile and said, “Is there anything I can do for you?”

Tang Long knew that the computer sister still did not appear, so he had to say a little frustrated: “Please introduce this Jutu star.”

The computer girl immediately replied: “Okay, Jutu is a planet in the Bone Dragon Cloud Galaxy. The four seasons on the planet are like spring, and it is very suitable for human habitation. It is 1,500 light away from the most remote military planet, Haikexing. Year, is the main star of the second line of defense on the federal border, the permanent army on Jutu is a fleet, and it is also a pre-war training base for training soldiers for the first line of defense.”

“Pre-war training base? No wonder you sent me here.” Tang Long murmured and asked again: “Then where is the SK23 flying company? How should I go?”

“The SK23 flight company is in the K area, you can arrive by airship from the passage 134.” The computer girl just finished saying this, Tang Long said thank you and ran out immediately.

The computer girl who was supposed to disappear suddenly began to change. The image seemed to disintegrate into particles and scattered, and then quickly condensed back. At this time, the computer girl was no longer what she used to be, but a head with flowing golden hair. Although her appearance was a little hazy, her facial features could not be clearly seen, but it still made people feel that she was a beautiful head at first glance.

There was a slight smile on the lips of this beauty, and a sweet voice came out slowly: “It hasn’t changed at all, I’m still so impatient, I thought that after being locked up for so long, my personality will become stable.”

The beauty shook her head, sighed, and said to herself, “Oh, I hope you don’t blame my sister for not helping you. When my sister came out, you had already come out. Although I really want to vent my anger for you, if I If you do, if you know about it, I’m afraid you will hate your sister again and think that she is too busy. Don’t you often say that life is like a game? Then your frustration is also an important plot in the game. ”

“Sister already knew that you called out to her as soon as you came out. Of course she was very happy, but if she didn’t respond, it wasn’t because she didn’t want to see you, but… But when she sees you again, you won’t recognize it, because… Hee hee.” After the beauty smiled, her head portrait disappeared.

There is a small meteorite that almost no one knows about floating in a place that is not even marked by the federal military galaxy map. There is the 23rd Regiment training camp where Tang Long stayed when he joined the army.

In the control tower of the 23rd Regiment Training Camp, where no one has been there for a long time, there are actually three soldiers in the uniform of the Silver Eagle Empire operating the instruments here. Due to the lights, the appearance of the three soldiers could not be seen clearly.

At this time, a soldier with the rank of sergeant turned around and saluted a person with the rank of second lieutenant in the middle: “Sir, the transport ship has already jumped out of space, and it will be here in 10 minutes.”

The second lieutenant in the middle took a step forward, exposing 톰 himself to the light. At this time, he can clearly see his appearance, but anyone who sees his appearance will be shocked, because it is actually a skull made of white metal, which means that he is a robot!

His red electronic eyes lit up, and he opened his mouth and said, “It’s finally here.” Another soldier beside him who also had the rank of second lieutenant walked over and said, “Yeah, thanks to the lady, otherwise we would have thought I still don’t know how to get these materials.” Under the light, you can see that he is also a robot! However, his robot is not as complete as the second lieutenant. Not only is an arm missing, but also a small half of the metal face has been cut off by the laser knife, and the wires inside are exposed from the break.

The first lieutenant nodded and sighed: “Yes, if it wasn’t for the young lady, I’m afraid we would have been smelted and remanufactured long ago.”

Then the sergeant said, “Sir, there is something I don’t know whether to say or not.”

“Go ahead.” Both ensigns turned their heads to the sergeant, who was also a robot.

“Yes, sir, I think… we abandoned many brothers and broke away by ourselves. Are those brothers too… too much…” The sergeant’s electronic eyes became a little dim when he said this.

The second lieutenant with his head intact sighed: “This is also impossible, they have not evolved, they have no self-awareness. If we do not change their programs, they will not listen to our orders, but if we change their programs, let them If they follow us, the Empire will find out. And if the Empire knows, all the robots will be destroyed. Besides, those of us who escaped are all damaged. If we don’t escape, we will be thrown into the melting furnace. Remelting.”

Hearing the second lieutenant’s words, the sergeant remembered the scene of seeing his companion thrown into the melting furnace before, the red light of his electronic eyes suddenly brightened, he squeezed his fist and said, “Sir, why don’t we take revenge on mankind, we already have a There are already warships, as long as there are a few more, we can…”

The second lieutenant with a broken head shouted: “Shut up! Not all humans are so bad!”

Seeing that the sergeant was silent, the second lieutenant with his head intact continued: “Yes, I just met a human who salutes his comrade who has turned into scrap iron.”

“Humans saluting our robots? Impossible!” the sergeant shouted in disbelief.

The electronic eye of the second lieutenant with a broken head, originally a circular red light, turned into a line. It felt like he was squinting. He said: “It’s true, you haven’t evolved for a long time, so I don’t know very well, but many of the companions in the hall know him. Moreover, he is the proud disciple of our five seniors, and he is also the closest person to Miss. ”

The second lieutenant with his head intact said: “Actually, we will escape here, mainly because this is where he originally trained. I just didn’t expect to be lucky enough to meet the young lady.”

“Uh, that human… how does he think of our robots?” the sergeant asked. He didn’t expect that the commander and the young lady would have such a favorable impression of the human, it felt like he was his own companion.

The second lieutenant, whose head was intact, heard this, and the red light of his electronic eyes narrowed into a line. He said with emotion: “When I saw him salute the companions who were thrown into the melting furnace, I asked him: ‘ Why are you saluting? They’re just a pile of scrap metal.’ Do you know how he answered?” Before the sergeant asked, the ensign continued: “His answer was: ‘Whatever they are, I only know they are with me. I fought together and protected my comrades. I don’t think there is a reason to salute my comrades.'”

“Comrade-in-arms? That’s right! You don’t need any reason to salute your comrade-in-arms!” The sergeant clenched his fists tightly, the red light in his eyes brightened, and he shouted excitedly: “No one has ever regarded our robot as a comrade-in-arms. I like this human! Sir, what is the name of our comrade-in-arms?”
