Chapter 21
"What are you doing when you keep watching me?"
Vito was wiping the corner of his mouth with a napkin. He noticed Heck's straight gaze. He looked up and smiled gently, "Are you unhappy with the breakfast I told the chef to prepare for you?"
"That's not it……"
Heck laughed dryly.
Bacon, baked beans, cheese croissant, and a cup of steaming milk. This is the recipe he likes most in Marinfando. How could he be dissatisfied with?
Although he had never disclosed such a thing, Vito could check his resume since he was born, let alone his taste? The so-called lice are not afraid of itchy, and Heck has long been no longer concerned about these small details that are extremely terrible.
What he was really confused about at this moment was the huge difference between Vito's faces, and the sensory impact brought by it. Well... Mr. Colonel didn't know how to speak out for a while to describe it more appropriately.
"There is no need to be so surprised. Who doesn't have two faces in front of others?"
Vito seemed to see through his thoughts, "In the future, I will probably show this image in front of the soldiers at the base for a long time. If you really can't accept it, just pretend that you haven't seen me before this morning."
Farting, Heck cursed in his heart, saying it was easy. Just this week's time to get along, the shadow you left to me in my heart is deeper than in the past few decades. How can you forget it just by saying it?
While complaining, Heck did not forget to start breakfast. It was cold and came to the restaurant from the fortress building with the cold wind. He was indeed a little hungry.
“Look at this.”
When he had eaten almost the same food, Vito took out a printed document from his arms. Heck hurriedly swallowed the last bit of bread, took the document while chewing, and asked vaguely, "What is this?"
"After about an hour, all the soldiers in the base will gather in the training ground."
Vito held the milk cup and said leisurely, "And this is the speech I wrote for you with my own hands."
"You didn't say it earlier, so you can do it yourself?"
Heck was immediately flattered, "Hey, Lord Vito, you don't know. I have been in the civil service for so many years. I'm professional in writing such things. I don't have to brains and let my fingers move. In more than ten minutes, a perfect official article was created. Why do you think you are still worried about this..."
He suddenly choked and looked at the smiling Vito blankly - Yes, Vito couldn't be unclear about these things he was good at. It took so much time to write an irrelevant speech for himself?
There was always a bad premonition... Heck drank a sip of milk and began to look through the documents in his hand silently.
The previous content is indeed nothing different from what I expected, and it is all commonplace clichés.
For example, I first introduced my resume from Marinfando's main body, and expressed my yearning and expectation for Earl Island on the way, and then I had a long and tasteless encouragement and warning...
But after seeing the back, Heck's expression gradually changed.
“…”
He held the speech and posted it for a long time before he raised his head. Qiqi Ai Ai said: "Well, Lord Vito, we are just a newcomer after all, so we are not good at applying this kind of harsh medicine as soon as we come up..."
"What's wrong with that?" Vito shrugged. "This base is rotten to the bottom. You haven't seen it. If you don't turn the soil over first, it will be even more difficult to deal with it in the future."
"But the means don't need to be so extreme..."
Heck was still a little hesitant. This was completely contrary to his idea of living a comfortable life. "That guy named Rufu is still staring at my position all the time. I will be in opposition to the grassroots soldiers. If I completely annoy them, I will be digging my own grave..."
"I certainly considered this kind of thing."
Vito stood up from behind the dining table, stretched his waist, and looked at the sky outside the door, "You just need to read the manuscript I gave you. Don't worry about the rest, I will naturally wipe your butt."
"Then, that's OK..."
Heck had no choice but to agree.
"Although it is a bit strict, the subsequent regulations are for the sake of the soldiers. Don't forget that our navy from our headquarters will have to take on this responsibility."
Vito saw his bargain and took advantage of the time when there were only two of them in the restaurant and patted Heck on the shoulder:
"I ask you, I'm so hard, why is the most important thing for running into such a ghost place to be a navy?"
This is simply a free question. Heck instantly recalled Vito's words resounding across the sea under the orange light on the sea train, and replied without hesitation:
"Power!"
"That's wrong."
Vito was not surprised at all at all with his answer. He shook his head with a smile, pointed to Heck's back, then turned around and left the restaurant, leaving only a back view of the latter walking back.
Warm, powerful, and worthy of relying on the back.
If I never knew someone like Vito, I would feel like this at this moment...
But Heck was confused.
He scratched his scalp, looked in the direction Vito pointed just now, searching for a long time, and finally landed on his white cloak. The two dazzling black characters made him suddenly understand.
【justice】
Following closely behind, there was a chill.
…………
At nine o'clock in the morning, Vito borrowed the name of Heck and ordered all the branch soldiers to gather at the base training ground.
It was eight-fifty in the blink of an eye.
Tina, who had just come out of her home, entered the base gate without any obstacles, and hurried to the training ground located on the west side of the base.
She has been signing up for the army for a while. As a branch lieutenant, she is actually qualified to have her own room on the third floor of the fortress building.
However, Tina is a local, and her home is located in the eastern block, only two or three streets away from the base. Even if she doesn't take a carriage led by a snow lion, it only takes more than ten minutes to walk.
In addition, she did not intend to stay in the 78th Branch, which was incomplete and filled with a smell of decay and depravity, and planned to set off for Marinfando soon afterwards to find opportunities to join the recruit training camp of the headquarters, so she was too lazy to claim her room, and she had never lived in the base after being promoted to lieutenant.
No one can gossip.
Whether it was the previous branch colonel or Lieutenant Colonel Roof who temporarily held the base affairs a few months ago, they turned a blind eye to where the soldiers below lived.
therefore.
As long as the navy has a residence in the city, both ordinary soldiers and school lieutenants have long been accustomed to living outside all year round, and come to commute and check in every day like an ordinary office worker, and leave the base at the right time, which is quite free.
This is also the main reason why when Vito and others arrived yesterday, the entire base was covered in darkness and there were no signs of many naval soldiers.
"It's finally here."
Chapter completed!
