"...I used plasticine to shine...the book and made an angel...she said...she said it was a green skin...wuwuwu..."
"That's what it is."
Another childish voice sounded, and a girl about four or five years old jumped out from the side and held up a clay doll.
"Hey, Dad, tell me."
Hayes lowered his head and took a look, well...his son's craftsmanship was indeed not very good. His big head and the posture of holding the ax were indeed a bit different from those of the Astartes.
"It's okay. You can improve slowly. Heatherlin, you have to help your brother, not laugh at him."
"I told him to help him, but he didn't listen. He just... just cried."
"What's wrong with you?"
Suddenly a gentle voice came, and Galina came over holding a basket with some vegetables in it. She was wearing a neat and clean gray dress, a bib and armbands, and her hair was tied back.
, looking at Hayes with a smile.
When he saw his son in his mother's arms, Hayes immediately started struggling, and Hayes could only put him down.
"Mom...sister...scold me..."
Hayes shook his head helplessly, took out a small golden round box from the cockpit, and opened it.
The sound of the box immediately attracted the two children, and they all looked at Hayes.
"Well, we're going to have dinner later, don't eat too much, just one for each person."
"good!"
After receiving the bubble candies, the two children's moods instantly changed and they jumped back into the yard.
Seeing the sweat on Jalina's forehead, Hayes turned around and took out a towel, and gently wiped her face with distress.
"If the weather is too hot, don't run out all the time. The thermostat will be here soon."
Kalina kissed him, then smiled and said:
"It's okay, I just went to the public vegetable garden to pick some vegetables."
Hayes then began to move things. He bought a lot of daily necessities and packed them in a box.
When he walked into the yard, he saw Andina, who was wearing cool clothes but with wet hair, sitting next to a cradle, wiping her hair and adjusting the direction of the small fan.
Hayes walked over, put the things aside, and then looked at the cradle. His third child, Fitz, was ten months old and sleeping soundly with his eyes closed. Perhaps he was aware of his father's approach. His pink hands and feet
He began to struggle restlessly up and down.
"Those two little brats started arguing again while I was washing my hair."
Andina shook her head helplessly.
At this moment, a cry came from the cradle, and Hayes quickly reached out to pick up his little son and patted his butt gently.
"Look at him, I'm going to help Jalina cook."
Soon after, night fell, thousands of houses were lit with lights, and the earth that was burned by the scorching sun finally began to cool down. After the family had a happy dinner, Hayes, wearing a vest, sat on the bench in the yard and looked at various news on the data board.
and message.
"...Yesterday, the great Archon of the Empire, the reconqueror and guardian of the Maelstrom, the eternal sun of the Brakato system, the great man from heaven who upholds the will of the throne, the iron father and benefactor of the people, Soshiyan
·Regiment Commander Alexey inspected the 11th Division’s garrison, visited and investigated local urban construction and industrial construction projects, reviewed local troops, and delivered an important speech. He pointed out——”
Hayes swiped casually and saw a general holding a silver laser pistol standing among a group of soldiers, impassioned.
"...Your Excellency, the great Archon, please give us the order!"
The young male and female soldiers around him also raised their silver-plated weapons.
"Please give the order!"
Then the scene turned to a few soldiers lying on the ground using silver logging guns and shooting wildly at a huge target in the distance. The outline of the target looked strange, as if it was a person holding a huge claw and a long head on its head.
The monster with the raised pipe is already covered with bullet holes...
Suddenly, Hayes heard the sound of wheels coming from far away, and then the sound of brakes, stopping in front of his home.
Hayes closed the data pad and stood up. Just as he was about to open the door, the doorbell rang.
"Zenoni?"
Hayes opened the door and saw his old friend wearing a silver-gray military uniform standing outside the door and looking at him with a smile.
"Hayes, who is it?"
Andina walked out of the house with her son in her arms, and was stunned when she saw the soldier.
"Mr. Zenoni? How did you..."
The soldier took off his hat and said with a smile:
"I have some urgent matters to discuss with Hayes. I hope I won't disturb you."
"it's okay no problem."
Hayes waved his hand, then walked out of the door and closed it. Andina looked at the door doubtfully, slowly turned around and walked back into the house, but her pace became a little uneasy.
"The division headquarters is going to form a regiment of Pashti squads, and I recommended you to be the company commander."
When they got into the other party's cool car, the soldier went straight to the point and told him what he wanted.
This person was actually the salesman Hayes met, who also came to this new world with the immigration ship and became an official. After the reform of the Corps system was implemented, he naturally became a lieutenant colonel and staff officer.
He was the director of the Immigration Bureau of the Division Administrative Office, so Hayes was often considered to have "someone behind his back". Zenoni also had a deep memory of his last "client" and often helped Hayes after he came to the new world, and the two gradually
A friendship was forged.
After hearing this, Hayes was silent for a moment and whispered:
"Is there going to be a war?"
As a result, the other party smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"No, don't think too much about it, at least not yet. This is the top meaning. It should only be military expansion."
After hearing this, Hayes said something meaningful.
"No one would sharpen a sharp knife and then not use it."
"A good life always needs someone to protect it."
"Friend, why would you recommend me? I have never been an officer, and I was just a... soldier."
"Because you are suitable, Hayes. You are a born warrior. I can see that your decisiveness and bravery should not be wasted on farmland. You have experienced hellish battles and have also walked with legends. The people recruited this time
Many of them are...well, you know, the Pushti class is an elite force. Many people want to join to gain qualifications and gild themselves. Those blindly optimistic and enthusiastic young people need someone who truly understands war to command and lead.
Otherwise, if they really encounter a war... Hayes, how many of your comrades in the past died because of incompetent commanders, I think you don't want to see this scene."
Hayes looked at his friend and sighed inwardly. He knew that Zenoni was not a sincere person. In other words, he once had sincerity but it was almost worn out by his years of ups and downs in officialdom.
He recommended himself more likely because he hopes to increase his voice in the military. After all, although he has a military position, he is actually more of an administrator. However, after the reform of the Corps system, if he wants to go further, he must work in the military
Made some achievements——
Recommending an officer who might be able to make a successful career was obviously an "investment" for Zenoni.
"Zenoni, look at me, a cripple."
Hayes patted the prosthetics on his hands and feet and pointed to the black eye patch.
"I only have half a life, and I can't relate to the elite. I think there should be someone more suitable than me."
Zenoni sighed softly.
"Hayes, to be honest, all veterans who have served in the Maelstrom Expedition cannot escape this sign. The only difference is which unit you go to. If you don't go to the Pashti class, you can only go to the locally formed Vashti class.
, not much better than the militia. This kind of regiment is called a light infantry regiment at best, but it is called a cannon fodder regiment at worst..."
After a moment of silence, Hayes suddenly smiled.
"Cannon fodder...Zenoni, you know, I am the one who survived in the cannon fodder...You know, for us cannon fodder, it doesn't matter how we die, where we die, or who we die with."
It's important to die together, so if we have to go to the battlefield, I would rather walk side by side with my comrades."
When Hayes watched the limousine disappear at the entrance of the village, he felt much more relaxed. He hummed a tune and turned back home.
But as soon as he entered the door, he saw Jialina looking at him nervously, then shook her head, walked over and put her arms around her shoulders.
"It's nothing, don't worry."
However, a message from the regiment headquarters was sent to the brigade early the next morning. Hayes Bathory was recruited into the newly formed 73rd Vashti Regiment of the 13th Kermanshah Division and became a company commander.
And he reported to the division headquarters two weeks later for training and exercises. Not only him, but also many relatively young veterans and some young men of working age in the production company were also recruited.
