The handsome girl was still wearing a neat military uniform. She raised her head from the pile of papers, glanced angrily at the young man who barged in without even knocking on the door, and said.
Lani, who was standing beside her, had already greeted the young man with a smile and poured a cup of tea for the young man.
"You know what I'm doing."
The young man sat down in front of the girl, smelling the scent of tea and smiling.
"But you have to take care of things here anyway? Do you want me to do everything? If it weren't for Vice President Yang and others helping me, I would be so busy that I wouldn't even have time to go home to be with Xing'er - I would be exhausted."
The girl gave the young man a hateful look.
…
"Oh, those who are capable work hard. Why do you care so much? I'm here to see you too. I want to hear how the military construction is going - how are you, my commander-in-chief?"
The young man smiled again.
Upon hearing the young man's inquiry, the girl's expression immediately became serious. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, turned her head and thought for a moment, then began to speak in detail.
"There is no problem with the army, and the defense around the island has been deployed. For now, we are safe and worry-free. We are just waiting to accumulate strength and when you and His Highness Zeng have grown to their peak, we can counterattack the barbarians."
…
"But in terms of accumulating strength... our progress is quite slow. Our external attack capabilities can currently be said to be blank - the construction of the navy and air force is quite slow."
"Although the Zhao Military Industrial Group has almost moved here collectively, they are still just a group after all - we need more minerals, more workers, companies, etc. with sufficient knowledge and skills to produce high-tech magic equipment.
wait."
"Just like the Dingbei formation. Basically all their officers and soldiers have come over, but the Dingbei formation is the property of the empire after all, and they can't bring it over. However, a large-scale double aircraft carrier formation like the Dingbei formation cannot be built overnight.
.So they complain to me all day long, saying that they have become landlubbers without a boat - but what can I do?"
The girl spread her hands helplessly.
…
"In fact, the Magic Energy Research Institute's Magic Equipment Branch designed the "Elemental Storm" class aircraft carrier for us on the basis of Dingbei, which has better performance than the Empire's "East-West, North-South" class, and its aircraft carrying capacity and ocean adaptability have been significantly improved.
Improvement, but it is still on paper - in the newly built dock, the keels of Frost and Flame have just been laid, and we are also facing a serious shortage of skilled workers."
"There's nothing I can do about this..."
Hearing this, the young man also smiled bitterly and said: "There is a lot of waste waiting to be done. We can only learn and build while doing it. The slower we go, the slower we go. Anyway, we are not in a hurry to develop external attack capabilities now - there is no high-level cooperation. In addition to
It’s useless to go to a barren land and show off your power.”
"And we have no plans to attack the Western Continent Kingdom in the short term - they don't even know about our existence yet, and they always thought that our merchant ships came from the Elf Western Continent."
"Yeah, the point is that these things are a little annoying."
The girl sighed and dropped the pen on the table, with a bitter look on her face.
…
Immediately, she seemed to have thought of something, but she became excited: "But yesterday, I heard someone from the Equipment and Logistics Department report that the magic suit academicians from the magic suit branch of the Magic Energy Research Institute are studying those floating islands - they are trying to
Design a new type of air aircraft carrier that does not rely on the sea surface, but relies on the air."
"This is really eye-catching. If there are such magic equipment, it almost means that our war mode will be diversified to a higher level. At present, they are still in the floating test stage. You go to the magic equipment
If you can go to the hospital, you can go and have a look, maybe you can provide them with some ideas."
The girl said enthusiastically.
Then, she seemed to look at the young man teasingly: "Anyway, isn't that someone also an honorary magic-suited academician of the Magic Energy Research Institute? The invention of submarines and helicopters has made all the magic-suited academicians of the Magic Energy Research Institute...
It’s full of praise.”
She said with a chuckle.
…
"I was just messing around..."
The young man suddenly looked embarrassed.
The girl wrinkled her nose.
"A certain pioneer of 'Xie Ning's Art'... is fooling! Please continue to fool!"
She squinted at the young man and said with disdain, while Lanny was already looking at the two of them and laughing out loud.
"Because of the magic energy in this world, the construction speed of everything is much faster than ours... No. I mean, how long will it take for the navy and air force to realize the configuration of magic equipment?"
The young man's face was full of embarrassment, and he almost revealed his identity and changed the topic in a panic.
…
"It will take at least several years...but we can equip as many as we can produce. The combat effectiveness will slowly recover over time."
The girl suddenly said uncertainly.
"That's fine. Anyway, there hasn't been any war recently... Well, you and Grandpa Yang are in charge of the military headquarters. I feel relieved. I came... just to see you."
The young man said immediately.
"Come and see me?"
A blush suddenly appeared on the girl's face.
"Why do you come to see me? What do I have to see?" she asked softly.
…
"This...this question..."
The young man felt embarrassed again.
Immediately, he seemed to have an idea: "Let's see the family. Didn't we say that to Ning'er when we paid homage to my father? We are all a family now."
He said with a smile.
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, you are shameless and shameless! Xing'er and Qi'er have become more and more shameless and shameless recently, don't let you lead them astray..."
The girl's face turned slightly red again, and she said with a mixture of joy and resentment.
"It's not my business?"
The young man immediately called out to Chong Tianqu: "You also live in our house, and you take care of him most of the time. Even Qi Wang Shuang'er likes you more than me because I am usually strict with them. If you are affected, you should be affected."
The impact - if you ask me, they must be almost at an age where seven or eight years old dogs would be disgusted."
He argued plausibly, but Lanny was already bending over with laughter.
…
"You're a dog too!"
The girl also chuckled with crescent moon eyes, and then rolled her eyes at the young man again.
Then, she seemed to notice something: "We meet at home every day, and they come to see me for no reason... They are so courteous for nothing. They are either traitors or thieves. What? They are sneaking around in the National Security Bureau of Foreign Intelligence and my Military Foreign Intelligence Bureau.
The evil action is over? Do you have any more evil ideas?"
She asked teasingly again.
The young man was stunned, but his expression quickly became solemn.
"This is a joint operation between the National Security Bureau and the Military Foreign Intelligence Bureau. As the commander-in-chief of the tri-service headquarters that oversees the country's military forces, you should be aware of it."
He suddenly laughed bitterly.
…
"I will be leaving soon, and will go to the Western Elf Continent with Brother Zeng. This time, I am here to learn about the situation of the army, and to see you by the way. By the way... I also want to say goodbye to you."
After thinking for a while, he whispered again.
The girl was also stunned when she heard this. Her smiling face dimmed, and she looked at the young man with great concern.
"Then...you must be careful."
After a long silence, she suddenly stood up and walked to the opposite side of the young man, straightened his collar and said softly.
"I will...girl...goodbye?"
The young man also stared at the girl silently. After a slight silence, he suddenly spoke in a questioning tone.
…
"goodbye……"
The girl's eyes were slightly red. She lowered her head and whispered softly. The crystal phoenix in her hair and the shining gold stars on the epaulettes of the straight military uniform gave the girl an aura of both gentleness and heroism. She looked down at her toes,
Don't know what to think.
The young man hesitantly reached out and stroked the girl's hair. He then touched the shining crystal phoenix, adding a hint of blush to the girl's face. His lips wriggled, but in the end, he could no longer
Without saying anything, he patted the girl on the shoulder and turned to leave.
…
"I will miss you..."
A soft murmur sounded faintly behind him.
The young man's steps paused.
"Should I...should reply 'me too'?"
He suddenly looked hesitantly at Lanny who was following him to see him out and asked.
"Get out!"
The commander-in-chief of the country's armed forces immediately became furious behind the young man who ran away in panic after asking that question. She cursed in shame and anger.
…
The young man seemed to leave in embarrassment. Lani's overjoyed laughter again and the girl's bright red face remained in the solemn office of the military commander.
"Sir, aren't you worried about him?"
Lani, who had finally finished laughing, stood side by side with the girl in front of the window. She looked at the back of the young man who hurriedly boarded the car, and suddenly looked at the girl strangely, and asked softly.
"Have no idea……"
The girl sighed quietly and shook her head gently.
…
"He is always like this, protecting the ones he loves with all his strength."
"Even, no matter what his identity is, no matter how important he is, no matter how precious his life is, how precious he himself is - he will sacrifice everything for those people. Just like that time, he was for... also
Just like this time, he did it for Sister Su."
The girl spoke softly, her eyes filled with nostalgia and sigh.
…
"He is not wrong. That is his responsibility. Such a man is also a good man of China."
"And now, waiting for him to return triumphantly at home, and protecting his country for him, is also... my responsibility."
"No matter... he thinks I'm just his chief of staff, his right-hand man - and something else."
She sighed softly again, and said softly as she watched the motorcade slowly start with the Xie family flag flying under the military headquarters building.
The gentle breeze blew through the girl's hair, and the sunlight filled every corner of the room softly. The girl and Lanny just stood side by side and watched the young man go away.
Gradually, the girl's expression was full of reluctance and solemnity. She returned to her desk and buried her head in the thick pile of papers again - as if that was everything to her.
