Chapter 36 On Gong (4)

five minutes later.

The black elevator stopped steadily on the second floor, and the green indicator light came on with the sound of "ding".

The young corporal led Jiang Jianming out: "Your Excellency, go this way."

Jiang Jianming stepped down the elevator and stepped on the channel paved with alloy steel sheets of the fortress with his military boots, and glanced back.

The corporal smiled as he walked: "This is the first time for you to come up from the first floor, right? I heard that you have made meritorious deeds in the emergency a few days ago, and you must have the opportunity to come to the second floor often in the future."

He thought about it, and added: "Maybe, in a few years, there will be a chance to live here."

"Really? Borrow your auspicious words." Jiang Jianming gently curved the corners of his lips towards the corporal, and followed him towards the meeting room.

The Yinbeidou Fortress has four floors. The military area on the 1F is divided into four areas: dormitory area, treatment area, trading area, and supply area. In addition, there are four mecha hangars and two starship ports, which are convenient for soldiers. Travel anytime.

2F, which is the floor where Jiang Jianming is now, the main facilities are the senior dormitory area, the military aircraft conference room, the archives and the database.

In addition, many large computers and precision instruments are located on this floor. Officers and soldiers below the school level are not allowed to enter without authorization except for messengers.

The top 3F belongs to the Demilitarized Zone, with farming and animal husbandry areas that mainly supply food sources; logistics areas that cover water, power, heating, and all other miscellaneous chores; research rooms that cover drug development, mecha repairs, and new crystal weapons development… …

And the top priority, the real crystal mine warehouse. The true crystal ore of the B-grade subspecies recovered by Jiang Jianming should be lying there now.

In addition to the three floors on the ground, the Yin Beidou Fortress also has -1F, another name for it is the "Heroic Spirit Monument". The peaceful earth pays tribute to the Yin Beidou heroes who died in the distant stars.

According to the positioning of the intellectual brain Seth Henry, the main body of the Ryan mecha should be placed somewhere in the underground Heroic Spirit Monument.

Jiang Jianming went through the plan he made yesterday in his heart, and heard the corporal say, "Your Excellency, we are here."

As soon as Jiang Jianming looked up, he saw Conference Room 205 in front of him.

He thanked the little corporal, took a breath, and knocked three times with his index and middle fingers.

"Jiang Jianming, an officer in the adaptation period, was ordered to report."

Three seconds later, the white automatic door hummed open.

Inside is bright and spacious, and what catches the eye is the long table in the conference room. On the opposite side of the long table are four officers—

Lieutenant Colonel Huo Lin sat on the far left, still with a sullen face. On the right side of Huo Lin is a black and thin officer; next to him is a strong white officer; on the far right is an officer with a beard.

The four people's oppressive gazes invariably turned to Jiang Jianming who walked in from the door.

The black and thin officer touched his chin and spoke first: "You are..."

As he said, he quickly looked around Jiang Jianming and narrowed his eyes.

This black-haired young man is thinner than he imagined. His facial features are very elegant, and perhaps it can be said that he is very beautiful, but his skin lacks ischemia, and it is believed that he has been sick all the year round.

Standing straight, it is a kind of tight and deliberately straight, the military uniform on his body is too neat, it is obviously washed and ironed overnight, you can see... a little nervous.

After all, being suddenly summoned to the second floor by so many senior officers, as an officer in the adaptation period, this behavior is quite normal.

But it's not like a capable person who can turn the tide in a dangerous situation and build a remarkable feat.

Jiang Jianming saluted: "Hello, sirs, I'm... Jiang Jianming."

The several officers looked at each other without a trace, one frowned, the other sullen, and the last shook his head slightly, each of which first reduced his impression of the young man by ten points.

Before formally summoning Jiang Jianming to come over, they had been arguing internally for two days.

No one would want to suppress a new officer who has made meritorious deeds for no reason, but Jiang Jianming is a disabled human being, and this is the most intolerant place in the entire empire-the Far Interstellar Silver Big Dipper Fortress.

What are the consequences of promoting a disabled human being exceptionally?

After being promoted, what position do you want to put in? Who is willing to accept a disabled human as his subordinate, and who is willing to accept a disabled human as his direct commander?

Who dares to send him to fight, who is to blame if he is killed in battle?

If you can't play, can you stay in Yin Beidou as a display?

Too absurd, too many hidden dangers and uncertainties.

Argue, discuss, argue.

Finally decided to meet this extraordinary disabled human in person, and then make the final decision.

In fact, if they hadn't watched the video of the mecha, they saw that this young man's mecha level and battlefield adaptability were truly amazing; if Jiang Jianming's teammates insisted that this man is indeed extraordinary...

Maybe there won't even be a summons this time.

Only Huo Lin narrowed his eyes, thinking that something was wrong.

This black-hearted brat seems to be ready to lie again.

"Well... Jiang Jianming, right?"

The white and strong middle-aged officer took the lead in clearing his throat and narrowed his blue eyes. He leaned forward and crossed his index fingers into a tower: "We don't want to beat around the bush. You should know your own situation best."

"The few of us, including your immediate commander, Lieutenant Colonel Huo Lin, don't really want to credit you with military merit according to the previous rules. Now is your last chance."

The officer's tone was not bad, even peaceful, but the words he spoke were not so friendly.

"Give you thirty minutes to convince a few of us to change our minds."

Hearing this, Jiang Jianming seemed stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyebrows.

He hesitated for five or six seconds before whispering, "I..."

The several officers glanced at each other without a trace.

The bearded officer scratched his nose and said, "Don't be nervous, maybe, you can start by explaining your own origin. Who gave you that special order chip?"

Jiang Jianming lowered his eyes, stared at the clean conference table in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Yes, that is a very noble Your Excellency, I dare not mention his name."

"He gave me this chip more because of a personal relationship. I... my fiancé died in a distant interstellar battle, and that eldest lord was his teacher during his lifetime."

"...My father was one of those conscripted veterans five years ago, and he soon received the title of martyr. I have no other relatives."

"Your Highness's original intention was to let Yin Beidou take care of me and let me go to the rear department to do a clerical job. It's my heart that's uneasy. In any case, I also want to come to the place where my father and husband sacrificed."

"Oh..." The brows of several officers loosened, and there were some sighs in their mouths.

The eyes that originally looked at Jiang Jianming with a cold scrutiny seemed to melt a lot.

"poor child."

"not easy."

They nodded to each other. After listening to Jiang Jianming's life experience and explanations, at least the reason why this disabled human is in the far interstellar space has become reasonable.

Jiang Jianming's eyes were dark, and he quietly looked at the officers and thought to himself: He didn't lie.

Up to now, he has not even lied a word, he is really a rare honest person.

As for the officers' inability to match "fiancé" and "Your Excellency" with the crown prince and the old marshal... That must be the problem of the officers themselves.

So the black-haired young man raised his head with a serious look: "This time I got lucky and made some minor contributions, but I don't dare to ask for a promotion."

The black and thin officer said in surprise: "Oh?"

"I know that I am a disabled human. During the time I came to Yin Beidou, I did feel...cough."

Jiang Jianming said, covering his lips and coughing lightly: "Sorry, rude... I feel very difficult, maybe the rules of this world are much crueler than I imagined."

"..."

Huo Lin suddenly picked up the water glass and took two big mouthfuls with a sullen face.

... the motherfucker!

Officer Bai Zhuang's face was a little more affectionate, and he said softly: "You have worked hard, I can feel it... child, please accept my respect."

Jiang Jianming: "I heard that in Yinbeidou, there is a lot of freedom for meritorious deeds. Some people even choose to exchange real crystal ore for currency points..."

Hearing him say this, the three officers looked at each other and rolled their eyes——

Obviously, they all thought the young man in front of them was trying to lighten the mood with a joke.

The disabled people are willing to voluntarily give up promotion, which makes the big stone in their hearts fall.

Now things are easy to handle, and the three officers all laughed out loud along the joke, and there was a cheerful atmosphere inside and outside the conference room.

Among them, the bearded officer laughed the loudest: "It did happen, hahaha... But such a stupid greedy thief, I haven't seen it for more than ten years."

"..."

Huo Lin couldn't laugh at all, his forehead jumped, and he started drinking water again.

... Damn it, damn it, why do you want to watch this little bastard perform here!

"Lieutenant Colonel Hollin, what's the matter with you?"

Beside him, Officer Bai Zhuang looked at him dissatisfiedly: "Even if you don't like crippled humans, you brought this child after all, and it's not easy for him, don't be like this."

He ignored the Lieutenant Colonel's instantly livid face, and turned to Jiang Jianming friendly: "So, what do you want to exchange for this merit?"

Jiang Jianming: "My fiancé's relics are in the Heroic Spirit Monument underground. I want to inherit his relics."

Huo Lin coughed, and said the first sentence since Jiang Jianming came in: "The removal of the relics from the Heroic Spirit Monument requires the approval of Major General Xie, and we can't promise you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the lieutenant colonel was startled in his heart: "Wait a minute, is Jiang Jianming's original purpose the major general?"

The bearded officer immediately answered: "Of course, we can help you apply - but we can only say that you choose to use this merit in exchange for such an 'application opportunity'. If the major general does not agree, there is nothing we can do."

Jiang Jianming nodded immediately: "Yes, I accept all the results."

Immediately, the expressions of the three officers became clearer.

They didn't expect that this disabled human being could be dismissed so easily, and looking at Jiang Jianming's eyes was as loving as his own son.

Good boy, really good boy!

Officer Bai Zhuang narrowed his eyes: "This is your own condition, child, don't say that we bullied you and suppressed your merits in the future."

Jiang Jianming raised his eyes quickly and said sincerely, "How is that possible!"

"Alright then, come with us."

...

"What the hell do you want to do?"

On the way to Major General Xie's office, Huo Lin lowered his voice and asked Jiang Jianming.

"Lieutenant Colonel." Jiang Jianming chuckled lightly and hid his voice in the footsteps of several people, "You are my commander after all, I will not pit you, please hurry up."

Speaking, he deliberately amplified his voice: "Lieutenant Colonel Huo Lin, don't you need to organize training today?"

The three officers in front turned around when they heard the sound, and one of them said, "Oh, that's right. Huo Lin, go back first."

Another person looked at Jiang Jianming lovingly: "What a meticulous and attentive good boy."

Hollin: "..."

He stared at Jiang Jianming for a long while with a complicated expression, said goodbye to his colleagues who were destined to be sad, and turned to the elevator leading to the first floor.

In front of the major general's office, the black and thin officer looked at Jiang Jianming's hands and nodded approvingly: "Well... I know wearing gloves to cover it up, not bad."

The bearded officer said: "Remember, the major general has a very strict temper. Don't talk nonsense after entering, and don't mention your credit."

The black-haired young man seemed to be nervous again. He bit his lower lip and tensed for a while, then asked softly, "Then... after seeing His Excellency Major General, can I say sir?"

When several officers heard him say such naive words, they were immediately angry and funny: "Of course you can."

Jiang Jianming nodded: "Please don't worry, I only said the words 'Hello sir'."

It is still a series of processes of knocking on the door, reporting, and automatic door opening.

The office of the supreme commander of the fortress is very spacious, and the female adjutant of the major general sits on the side table.

She stopped typing on the virtual keyboard and adjusted her glasses: "Please come in, what's the matter?"

And Xie Yuduo was sitting at the desk by the window, still arrogantly cocking his legs, holding a teacup in one hand and a few paper documents in the other, squinting his eyes lazily.

Jiang Jianming stepped in indifferently, stood at the door, raised his hand and saluted.

"Hello sir."

Xie Yuduo had just had a sip of tea when he suddenly felt that the voice sounded familiar, so he lazily lifted his eyes from the edge of the document...

"puff!!!"

Suddenly, a sip of tea was sprayed out by him!

"Little, little lord—!!?"

In a second, Xie Yuduo's upturned legs also slammed down, his crooked back straightened with a slap, and the cup that he almost knocked over was placed on the corner of the table with a slam. Squeeze the file tightly!

Under the horrified gaze of the female adjutant, Major General Xie bounced up with lightning speed!

He rushed to Jiang Jianming in three steps and two steps: "My God, why did our little Lord Jiang come here?"

"Small... Major General!?"

The female adjutant's face became extremely frightened, as if she saw red rain falling from the sky.

She has been working beside the Major General for almost three years. This one has an extremely rebellious temper. He can even quarrel with Old Marshal Chen and have a good time. How could he ever see him so diligent?

Also, he actually called this young man "Little Your Excellency"?

Many people don't know it, but she knows it. This Major General Xie himself is from a noble family. What kind of identity does he have to be honored by Major General Xie as Your Excellency? ?

"It's really nonsense, the far space is not a place for people to stay... Tsk, does the commander know?"

Xie Yuduoxu held Jiang Jianming's arm on one side, those phoenix eyes were curved into crescent moons, and he said in a half-shocked, half-surprised voice, "Come in, please take a seat, sit down."

The major general raised his hand and led Jiang Jianming inside, pushed him to walk over to his chair, with a sincere smile on his face, he spoke in chorus.

"Little Your Excellency suffered hardships on the way here, sigh, I don't know how to make a sound, I will drive the starship to pick you up! By the way, are the tranquilizers of sufficient purity and dosage, do you feel any discomfort?"

Jiang Jianming followed him two steps.

As a result, the eyes of the three officers behind him were about to bulge out, the chin that was about to fall to the ground, and the three dead blue faces.

Xie Yuduo suddenly realized that something was wrong.

He recalled for a while, then recalled it again, and then looked at Jiang Jianming's Yin Beidou military uniform, and found that it was not only "somewhat" wrong.

Xie Yuduo: "Your Excellency Jiang Xiao, you just said, what am I to you?"

Jiang Jianming lowered his head and said calmly, "Sir."

"..."

Major General Xie's smile froze, his face instantly greener than the three poor officers, greener than the green cabbage leaves he had eaten at noon.

With a stiff smile, he said cautiously, "Is that what I understand? No, my lord, aren't you joking?"

He wanted to cry again and said without tears: "No no no no no, so the crippled human beings in His Highness's words a few days ago—"

Jiang Jianming smiled without saying a word, his eyes clearly written: What do you say?

Xie Yuduo took a deep breath, the veins on his forehead throbbing.

"Otherwise," he sneered through gritted teeth, pointing at the three dumbfounded people at the door, "I... I'll let them get out first, then let's sit down and talk slowly, can you see?"

Jiang Jianming raised the corner of his lips, and there was a trace of success in the depths of his eyes.

He finally walked over, pulled out the chair of the major general calmly, sat down, opened his lips and said, "Okay."

The author has something to say: Jiang: only say good sir.
