Chapter 209 Northeast North (Nine)
The bitter cold wind blew in through the gaps of the fiber mezzanine soft plastic door, and then turned around the liquid hydrogen fuel furnace for a few futile times, then became lazy and warmed up, dispersing in the warm air.
Zhou Yu sat on the chair with his head down, staring at his skinny fingers and silently, his face
The color was depressed and stiff, and the mind was disturbed by the annoying cold and warm air. Subconsciously, he raised his head and looked out through the crack of the door. He found that the wind and snow that had begun to become smaller four days ago had disappeared completely in today's warm sun.
He was a top student at the First Military Academy. He successfully played the role of the officer in the Japanese military exercise. It was precisely because of his outstanding performance that he became a rare object of Du Shaoqing's talent pride and was forcibly recruited to the Iron Seventh Division at the beginning of the year.
Being able to be appreciated and loved by the famous federal general Du Shaoqing and being able to enter the most glorious Iron Division of the Federation, the Iron and Seventh Division, has a bright future, but Zhou Yu is not as happy as outsiders think.
He is from Xilin, he is a student funded by the Xiushu Foundation. He has a close relationship with Xu Le. In the eyes of Xilin people, the emperor-like Commander Zhong and Shaoqing's commander, had a deep grudge. Mochou's back mountain was unwilling to watch him forcibly snatched away by certain factions in the military. What's more, Xu Le... and the new 17th Division where he is now have always felt incompatible with Du Shaoqing's Iron Seventh Division due to certain historical and current reasons.
The classmates and officers in the training base, the seventh group of familiar men, and the people Zhou Yu was familiar with, most of them entered the New Seventeenth Division, but he was the only one who entered the Iron Seventh Division. Although it was not said that he was confused and had no reason, he was still indifferent and could not rest assured. This emotion fermented because of the recent incident, which made him, who was accustomed to being as gentle as jade, feel a hint of depression and anger that was unstoppable.
He was silent for a long time until he saw the white skin bubbles between his fingers and the white snow outside the door, and saw the pain in his eyes. The annoyance on his face gradually faded, and he stood up suddenly, walked through the low snow passage, and quickly walked into the room where the regiment headquarters was located.
Dongfang Pei, the commander of the first regiment of the Iron Seventh Division, was sitting on an animal leather chair holding coffee, holding her eyes closed and resting, looking very resting.
During S1, Commander Du Shaoqing was used to wearing the pair of black gloves in lambskin. As the saying goes, the senior officers under his command were also infected with this style, not to mention that this place is 5460. The forest on the edge of the glacier is full of beasts without electronic wall protection...
Zhou Yu looked at the scene in front of him and thought to himself that even if the boss in front of him was wearing a hundred sunglasses, he could only learn the fur of Teacher Shaoqing.
After a brief pause, he asked in a deep voice: "I really want to know what you are thinking, do you know that on the snowfield less than 400 kilometers away from you, thousands of federal soldiers are being ambushed by the Imperial people?"
Dongfang Pei opened his eyes and looked at him indifferently and said, "The ones surrounded by Qinglong Mountain, I don't regard them as comrades."
"Captain Oriental, I want to ask you to pay attention. Their current number is the Federal Special Army. If you don't want this kind of remarks to be known by the Ministry of Defense's Interior Department, I advise you to make a correction, rather than posing with coffee." Zhou Yu said bluntly.
"I also want to ask you to correct your understanding." Dongfang Pei's face changed slightly, and he stood up and pointed at Zhou Yu's nose and said, "I am your regiment commander. What is your attitude? If you don't want to force me to deal with you with military law, I advise you to take back what you said just now."
The officers of the Iron Seventh Division all knew that their commanders appreciated Zhou Yu very much. For some reason, Dongfang Pei was very dissatisfied with the division headquarters sending Zhou Yu to the first regiment for training. At this moment, he heard him accusing him and his anger suddenly surged up.
"I apologize to you, Commander of the Oriental." Zhou Yu said calmly, staring at him with a calm gaze that he refused to give in. "But I don't think it should be the style of the Iron Seventh Division."
"The army is first and foremost a disciplined army. I will be responsible for the first regiment without receiving the order." Dongfang Pei stared at him and scolded without hesitation: "What is the matter in your mind?"
"Discipline is not mechanical, nor is it cold-blooded. When the reaction time is most needed, the front-line commander stubbornly waits for several remote commands outside the sequence. I never knew that the battle was fought like this. I doubt what the real purpose of doing this is."
Dongfang Pei's eyes gradually became ruthless. He walked to Zhou Yu's face and said in a cold voice: "Then what is my real purpose?"
"I suspect you are deliberately committing an inhumane murder." Zhou Yu said calmly: "Four days ago, Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le issued a request for support, but you ignored it and forced to delay the upload time of the situation. Why is this? Do you want to use the hands of the imperial people to kill the people in Qinglong Mountain, or do you want to let Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le die there?"
"I warn you that you are making very serious criminal charges against a lieutenant colonel leader." Dongfang Pei said with a cold face after a moment of silence: "Yes, I do look down on this mercenary-born Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le, because as a member of the disciplined force, I hate this fearless and even brainless performance of personal heroism. But murdering him? Do I need to do this?"
"What you originally wanted to ask was why you did this." Zhou Yu raised his head, looked straight into his eyes, and said, "In my opinion, that's because the two brothers Chang and the three were originally officers of the first regiment. And because of the Japanese military exercises after graduation, the conflict between Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le and the division commander, why don't you want him to die?"
"Don't forget that you are an officer of the Iron Seventh Division now. You should know where your butt should be sitting." Dongfang Pei's eyes became colder and he said slowly: "And you underestimate me too much. Our Iron Seventh Division people have never had the habit of shooting at their compatriots in the back on the battlefield."
"I just want to ask one thing, should you save it or not?" Zhou Yu felt a sense of danger from the other party. Dongfang Pei was the highest commander of the army. Although he was the officer sent by Du Shaoqing to practice, if the other party really wanted to deal with him with military law, he had no way of doing it. However, when he thought of the battlefield where there was no news coming back hundreds of kilometers away, he had to ask this clearly.
"I'm not a reckless man." Dongfang Pei said with a slight sagging eyelids, "I'll be here, I'll keep him alone and be confined to him for ten days."
At this moment, the correspondent soldier walked over quickly and said in a nervous tone: "The division commander is calling."
At the location of the Iron Seventh Division, Ximen Jin stood quietly in the corner with a towel. He looked at the division commander and hung up the phone with a gloomy face. Thinking of the military order of the Federal Command that he had just received, his mood was slightly deeper. He walked forward and handed the hot towel to Du Shaoqing.
Du Shaoqing picked up the hot towel and rubbed the numb facial skin hard. After recovering some energy, he sat back in the chair, stared at the electronic data map on the light curtain in front of him, and continued the tactical deduction that had been interrupted.
Ten years ago, he requested to be transferred to the already sinking 7th Armored Division of the Second Federal Military Region. Since then, this unit has won countless military exercises and countless awe and even admiration. However, this unit has never had the opportunity to show its true victory on the battlefield in exchange for real merit. He was forcibly suppressed by a major figure who spans both military and political circles for ten years.
Ten years later, he finally arrived at the real front line. He and his troops did not disappoint the entire Federation. From firing the first shot of a victorious military operation in Huangshanling to a rush to advance to the Northern Expedition, defeating the main forces of the Empire step by step, until now, the remnants of the Empire were driven into the glaciers and snowstorms, and there was no chance to escape. Countless beautiful and tragic battles, the Iron Seventh Division perfectly achieved strategic tasks and could not find any fault.
Many people have the same evaluation of Du Shaoqing: he is as meticulous as a monster, as cold and serious as a cedar. President Pablo, ordinary citizens within the federal military and even billions of ordinary citizens, all regard him as the most famous commander of the Federation's Mesozoic era, and believes that he is very likely to become the successor of the War God.
However, no success in the universe is accidental. Outsiders only see the cold and elegant appearance of this Shaoqing commander, who is as delicate as his hand. However, only the most loyal subordinate officers around him know that when facing battles of all sizes, their division commanders will spend on tactical deductions and pre-war preparations. It is absolutely not an exaggeration to describe it with the ancient vocabulary of exhausting effort.
"Here's first regiment had already set out to the northeast three days ago. The 2nd and 3rd regiment also passed Dongfang Pei's position last night. They were already ahead of us." Ximen Jin first reported the current situation, and then explained tentatively: "Dongfang noticed the news as soon as possible, and had also notified the division headquarters, but you were sleeping at that time..."
Du Shaoqing looked down at the electronic map, and from time to time the recording pen in his hand wrote some symbols on the map that only he understood. After hearing Ximen Jin's words, he raised his right hand and waved it.
Ximen Jin sighed in his heart. He knew that the division commander was extremely angry at Dongfang Pei at this time. However, he and Dongfang have been the division commander's personal soldiers since ten years ago, and they have a close relationship. At this time, they must explain a few words and pray to relieve the division commander's anger.
After a few dozen minutes, Du Shaoqing finally completed the work at hand. He rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, but still kept his sitting posture straight and refused to lean on the chair.
"Discipline is the most important thing for the army. Even if the 17th Division is ahead of us this time, I will not be angry about this." Du Shaoqing said with a gloomy face: "But he actually has the courage to suppress the news that Xu Le had asked for help, which is unforgivable."
Ximen Jin said with some difficulty: "Teacher, I believe Dongfang will not be so stupid."
"Is that?" Du Shaoqing's rhetorical question seemed so oppressive at this moment. He stared at Ximen Jin's eyes and laughed at himself: "Or, is he trying to use his stupidity to get rid of a future opponent for me? When will I fall to the point where I can be threatened by Xu Le in your eyes? What's more important is..."
"Have I never taught you that the most intolerable thing on the battlefield is that there are other distractions in your mind besides winning or losing."
