() At this time, the general has a respectable smile on his face. Oh, it’s here, it’s here so soon.”

I didn't have time to think about why this guy was here, so I reflexively stood at attention and saluted. Chen Tianmin just waved his hand, indicating that I don't need to be too formal.

"Okay, you and your family can chat for now, I'll take my leave."

General Chen secretly patted me hard twice, strode out with his hands behind his back in the manner of a senior military officer, leaving me dumbfounded on the spot, not knowing what to do. My parents quickly stood up and sent him out.

, after finishing a set of farewell gifts, he looked at me with deep eyes, and then let out a long sigh.

"Um...what happened?"

"It's nothing. It's just that the biggest officer I've seen before is the company commander of the village's militia company. Suddenly such a big leader comes to visit in person... I feel a little uncomfortable."

Dad said so.

"Although it is a happy event that you have become successful, but can you not be so surprised? We were not prepared at all when your commander came in, and we almost scared your mother to death."

Mom said so.

Only then did I notice that their smiles looked stiff, as if they were having a convulsion.

"Our boss...did you say anything?"

"It basically means that you study hard, train hard, have a progressive mind, and the organization is very satisfied with your performance. Alas, your mother and I almost shed tears after hearing this."

"Damn, it's not all nonsense and there's not even a tael of practical information. I'm so happy to have Mao."

I said mindlessly, and received a very powerful sideways glance from my mother.

"Just kidding, have you ever told your mother a few nonsense words? From the kindergarten, the whole hospital was so noisy that they couldn't sleep. In the first semester of college, the counselor hung up the phone to warn you that you were failing too many subjects. You have been growing up since childhood.

As long as the supervisor comes to visit, it will be no good. Now you have finally turned around and you haven't felt it yet."

Well, it seems that I have really worked hard for more than 20 years.

"Okay, okay, stop talking about being frustrated. Tell me what you want for dinner, and I'll buy it for you. Don't be polite at home."

Dad clapped his hands and stood up happily and said.

To be honest, at that moment I felt like I was surrounded by warmth from the inside out.

After eating a delightful seafood lunch consisting of boiled prawns, braised conger eel, sea bass with scallion oil and a large bowl of rice, I was ready to sleep until night and enjoy the holiday life.

But the actual situation is very unsatisfactory.

Irritated, irritable, irritable, irritable….

Anxiety, anxiety, anxiety, anxiety......

Then there were rounds of fierce exchanges of fire. [Jacques] came to kill, [Il] also came to kill, and there was even [Depp] on the ground waving a machine gun. I circled wildly and fired the gun.

Missiles, wielding the compound sword, used various means to knock them down one by one, but they seemed to come off the assembly line and were sent to my butcher knife in a steady stream, and I continued to chop and kill them without stopping.

, until my arms are sore from killing, I still keep killing, killing with all my might.

Explosion, explosion, explosion, explosion……..

My field of vision was rendered red by the scorching firelight all over the sky, and my blood was boiling in the explosion. I suddenly felt like laughing, wanting to laugh wildly!

"Phew, I can't stand it anymore."

The third time I woke up from a horrible dream, I was surprised to find that I had been sweating profusely and soaked the quilt and pillow.

I think this is probably the legendary "warillness", which is a disgusting souvenir for those who have been on the front line.

For a moment, I thought of the tragic scene often shown on TV of war veterans holding long and short guns to sleep and taking pills, but it was only for a moment.

Nonsense, this little stimulation like being blown up by a firecracker scared who.

I couldn't sleep anyway, so I jumped out of bed, got dressed and walked out. I happened to see my mother carrying her bag and getting ready to go out. She was very surprised to see me.

"You woke up so early. Didn't you just fall asleep all at once and not be able to wake up even if you called for dinner at night?"

I smiled helplessly.

"Forget it, come with me to the supermarket to buy something if you have nothing to do. It's been a long time since I went out with your mother."

It's true to say that, because at this time before, I was either sleeping or busy killing monsters and leveling up, so I nodded immediately and at the same time, I helped my mother carry the backpack that was so tight.

But as soon as I opened the door, I saw a navy officer in uniform standing there, his broad shoulders just blocking the door. I was about to spray it, but suddenly I caught a glimpse of the shining gun on this guy's shoulder.

of two stars.

Holy shit, it’s a lieutenant general!

So the curse words immediately turned into a respectful "Hello, sir".

Are you mistaken? Why haven't I met a private, corporal, or first class soldier since I returned to China? I also want others to call me "sir", you bastard!

"This is Sergeant Chen Xiang. I am Lin Haocheng, Deputy Minister of the Navy. This should be the first time we meet."

Lin Haocheng didn't have much expression on his face. His words were like a thrown plate, oh, like an ice brick, hard enough and cold enough.

"Well, sir, come in and sit down."

Mom said politely, but Lin Haocheng politely refused.

"No, just a little bit, it's just a small matter, just talk while walking."

Although his official rank is not as high as that of Chen Tianmin, he is still the commander of the first army. I don’t know how high his rank is, so I had to walk out of the house side by side with Deputy Minister Lin, while my mother followed behind and looked at the two of us with a look of resentment.

"Sergeant Chen Xiang, may I ask a question?"

I'm not used to Vice Minister Lin's polite tone. Obviously he doesn't usually speak in this tone, which makes people feel uncomfortable. However, since the chief has spoken, I quickly tell you to tell me what I know. If I don't know, I will tell you.

Pretend to know and say it.

"It's not that exaggerated. I just want to know, have you chosen a military branch?"

"Military branch, didn't I choose to fly an aviation mecha a long time ago?"

I asked inexplicably.

"That's not what I mean. Unlike land combat mechas, which are only assigned to army-related units, the air force, our navy, and the marine corps are also equipped with aviation mechas, which means that students who fly aviation mechas will be assigned to serve in these units.

, do you understand what I mean?"

Okay, that is to say, there are only about twenty aviation mecha soldiers and they are divided among so many places. I originally thought that after the selection last semester, I would be out of trouble, but I didn't expect to fall into another big pit.

"No, since it's something that flies in the sky, I think the Air Force is more suitable..."

I answered honestly, but Minister Lin obviously didn't want this answer and shook his head.

"You are wrong, Sergeant Chen Xiang. Historically speaking, the status of naval aviation is not inferior to that of the air force, and naval aviation has always been the most difficult part to train among all flying arms. When weapons are comprehensively replaced, this gap problem

The situation is even more severe, so our army urgently needs experienced mecha soldiers like you to join us."

"Furthermore, the existence of mecha soldiers was firmly rejected by the Air Force from the beginning. The Air Force can be said to be a gathering place for old-school die-hards. Moreover, officers and soldiers have low benefits, poor remuneration, and slow promotions. They can't even get a wife. They only eat canned food every day.

Biscuits and cauldron of meat are nothing decent..."

I was stunned for a while and said that I really didn’t know this.

Vice Minister Lin nodded with satisfaction, saying that you don’t need to answer me now, go back and think about it carefully.

As soon as he left the community gate, Minister Lin got into an inconspicuous military jeep and left. Then my mother came up to me mysteriously and said:

"Well, I'll tell you that studying hard is useful, but you just don't listen to me."

"...Where is this place?"

It was Saturday, and the supermarket was very popular. There were men, women, old, young, tall, short, fat, thin, poor, rich. People of all kinds were shouting and noisy, and everyone was grabbing a piece.

The display-like shopping boards were crowded, and the shopping touch keys under the three-dimensional imaging of the shelves were being pressed with a crackling sound, as if the banknotes would be invalidated tomorrow.

But it’s not too different. By that time, the power of economic suppression from both the treaty and the alliance had emerged, and inflationary pressure began to seep into daily life. Even the lives of the middle class began to become tense. A typical example.

Discounted products that were originally considered garbage are snapped up in large quantities every day.

My mother first fell in love with a box of imported cosmetics, but after thinking about it carefully, she still reached out to the domestic products. I advised her that you should always buy more expensive ones. At worst, I paid the bill and ended up eating another one.

squinting eyes.

"Tch, I only have a few big bucks in my pocket, and I'm showing it off in front of your mother."

"I'll go, Mom, you underestimate me too much. I've made some money outside anyway..."

I was so excited that I almost revealed the news that there was a huge sum of more than 100,000 Mala in my account, but luckily I shut up in time.

"What you earn is no longer money. It's hard to make money these days, so don't spend it lavishly."

Well, this money is indeed not easy to make.

It was already 3:30 in the afternoon after I finished shopping. My mother looked at a newly opened wonton shop under the supermarket and suggested that she go and get some snacks first since she was hungry after shopping.

"Don't be hard on yourself when you shouldn't treat yourself badly."

This is what I taught you.

We ordered two bowls of wontons and a plate of pot stickers in front of the cashier, but just when my mother was about to pay the bill, a middle-aged man as strong as a bear squeezed over and paid the bill first.

"Wait, who are you?"

I looked at him unhappily. As the saying goes, if you show courtesy for nothing, it is both cheating and stealing.

"Haha, we are all on our own, it's not a big deal to pay."

"Damn, who is one of your own..."

My words suddenly got stuck in my throat mid-sentence, because the moment he turned around, I saw the Republic of China uniform protruding from his collar.

After paying the money, the uncle mysteriously nudged me twice with his elbow.

"Hey, brother, can you come over here? I have something I want to discuss with you."

If you dare to pretend to be mysterious again, believe it or not, I will beat you.

"Hey, who are you?"

"Oh, I almost forgot to introduce you. I am Lieutenant General Li Zhenbei of the Air Force. Those who are familiar with me call me Lao Li."
