For a moment, I even wondered if my ears were broken.

Me? Join the Treaty Army? What a joke!

As if reading my disbelief, Admiral Gugueyev continued.

"No kidding, that's it. The top management of the Treaty Army has unanimously requested that as long as you join the Treaty Army, you can apply for nationality and benefits immediately, and your military rank is guaranteed to be above major general..."

I laughed, I couldn't help it, I couldn't help it anymore.

"Please, I can reach this level just by messing around in the Republican Party. Why go all the way to this unfamiliar place to become a major general? How boring it must be. Sir, if you consider giving me your seat, , I can still consider it."

Admiral Gugueyev did not smile, but looked at me with his salty eyes.

"You shouldn't be an idiot captain. I shouldn't give you a statistical evaluation of which one is stronger or weaker between the Republican Army and the Treaty Army."

I feel like I can't laugh because there is no comparison at all.

No matter how large the Republican Army is, it is just a regional armed force, while the Treaty Army is a terrifying monster that spans the Eurasian continent, and is dozens of times stronger than the Republican Army in terms of equipment and scale. Even if they have the same military rank, the energy in two different carriers is completely different.

"Think about it, Captain."

After Gugeev finished speaking, he left with his hands behind his back minding his own business.

I opened my mouth for a long time before I could think clearly about the cause and effect. After thinking about it, I burst out laughing again.

The benefits are nothing. I didn’t even serve as a major general in the Republican Army. I went all the way to the research institute to become a low-level test pilot. A major general in the Treaty Army is nothing. Besides, I now have the top team of the Vyborg Shooters. Level mercenary group, the annual income in my bank card is estimated to be even more than your old man's share multiplied by two; as for military strength, it doesn't matter, it is just like leveling up in online games, it must be slowly upgraded from level to level. Going up, breaking through various difficult obstacles, and maxing out all kinds of dungeons is interesting, but it would be too boring to suddenly jump to more than 100 levels.

Thinking of this, I felt a lot more relaxed. I turned my ankles and went back to the ward to take a deep sleep. Subconsciously, I felt that these leisurely days would not last long.

The training lasted for two days. There was nothing I could do about it. After all, the human brain is a complex mechanism, and the treatment of broken muscles and fractures is not as good as ordinary fractures. Fortunately, I was able to avoid the interference of a large number of reporters. What is very confusing is that , although a lot of random people came during this period, my unlucky fiancée comrade never showed up. I missed her so much in Viborg, but why did she just hang up as soon as I came back and there was no news.

That's fine, I can use this time to prepare for my next move.

After my condition got a little better, I applied to the attending doctor for a temporary walk, and was quickly approved. So after nearly a month, I once again set foot on the quaint streets of Moscow. Moscow is still the same, both people and machines are listless. It's running smoothly, and there aren't drunkards jumping out on the street to scare you. It seems that the fierce fighting on the front line has not affected the living conditions in the capital at the rear.

At least that should be the case for now.

Pulling on the lapel of my military coat, I turned straight into Melnikov's unique handicraft store located in a remote location. Thank God, the store with the old-century atmosphere is still there and has not been demolished. Thank God, too. In this cold season, this old man is still very strong and alive.

"Long time no see, Captain. You seem to have become very famous recently."

Melnikov leaned on the recliner and said calmly, while I shrugged.

"It's just so-so, it just hits a lot of shit."

"Okay, Captain, what do you want to do today?"

"I want to do business with you. By the way, do you have any good stone materials here? Any stone will do, as long as the quality is good enough."

As if hearing something interesting, Melnikov slowly opened his eyes.

"Yes, there are some. They are all obtained from Africa. I don't know if any of them suit your liking."

The old man stood up shakily and led the way, and I followed him forward until I stopped in front of the last storage warehouse. The old man opened the door and I saw that more than half of the shelves that were originally piled with messy items were now full.

It is occupied by all kinds of stones, some are radiant, some are shining quietly, no matter how you look at them, they are all good things.

As I walked, I looked around. Although Agelina's temperament was elegant, she was not noble. She was completely opposite to Edith. Therefore, treasures that were too bright were completely inappropriate for her and would destroy them.

But apart from the factors of being a wealthy person, the quality of something that is probably given once in a lifetime should not be too low.

Suddenly my eyes were fixed on a dark blue stone. It was small in size and not very eye-catching in color, but I was attracted by it at the first sight. A very classic line immediately popped into my mind: "That's it."

You’re Pikachu”!

"Sorry, Captain, this area has already been booked."

The old man said calmly, I almost lost my temper when I heard these words. After I was done with my anger, I used the rich man's special move - add money.

"Hell, I'll pay double of whatever he pays. You can choose the golden Mala Republic coins!"

Grandma, if you fight with me, you will be killed.

"Just to be on the safe side, I want to ask, Captain, what do you want to do with this thing?"

"Of course it's a ring. It looks like it's just the right size. Just dig out a pair from the middle. Don't put a metal ring or anything on it. It's too vulgar."

"Then you don't have to spend any money, Captain. In terms of craftsmanship, I suggest you follow your instructions. One ring is just right for each person."

A faint smile suddenly appeared on the old man's wrinkled face.

What does this mean? What does one person mean that one is just right? Wait, could it be that the person who bought this stone is...

At this time, there was only a "bang" sound from the warehouse door, and a familiar person rushed in hurriedly.

"Mr. Melnikov, are you ready with the materials I need? I will have the finished product today! Hey, Chen Xiang, you, you, you, you... why are you here."

I suddenly felt like I was about to faint. This luck was so bad that I could see everything together. Or could this be the legendary destiny?

Mumbling words that outsiders couldn't understand, the old man walked into the studio with a smile on his face while holding the stone. The two of us were left frozen in place at a loss. She was still wearing the same clothes as when she and I entered this store for the first time.

, but I feel like she is much more beautiful than that time.

After a long time, it was Ajelina who broke the silence first.

"I'm sorry, Chen Xiang, I haven't seen you in the past two days since you came back. Actually... I wanted to give you a surprise."

Feeling speechless, I sighed, straightened my military coat, then walked up with cautious steps, and held the surprised natural girl in my arms.

"As promised, I'm back, and I'm back with a lot of parts."

I solemnly declared, and a few seconds later, I felt the person in my arms hugging me back with the same strength, uttering some trembling syllables.
