Chapter 034 Grab the work

A day has passed.

The military still has no news, or to say so, Huo Xiu has not received any news about the follow-up action. This made him feel strange. Generally speaking, the first thing after obtaining the intelligence was to quickly carry out military operations before other pirates reacted.

But according to the current situation, it seems that the best opportunity has been lost?

If he is allowed to come, he will definitely command the army to take advantage of the victory and pursue it as soon as possible to eradicate all the remaining pirate organizations. Then let the media report a lot, establish a good image of the government and the military department and high efficiency among the people, and achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Unfortunate, he is not the commander. But he also believes that the plan for this matter is not difficult, and those officers should also think of this, but why delay it?

He couldn't figure it out and unconsciously walked to the door of the restaurant.

Now it happened to be breakfast time, and there were a lot of people coming and going. He passed through the crowd, picked up dishes, took some food casually, and found a vacant seat to sit down.

"Oh, sir, are you here?" A surprised voice sounded, and Huo Xiu looked up. Song Shifei held a plate and sat down opposite him.

Huo Xiu picked up a pair of chopsticks and asked, "What's strange?"

"This..." As soon as he opened his mouth, he lowered his voice, "Shouldn't you go to carry out the task of extermination of the military?"

"Do you have a task?" Huo Xiu was even more puzzled.

"Yes." Song Shifei nodded, "This is still a day ago. The military region has dispatched a lot of troops, and even ordinary troops need them. I have also been named, but the number of people behind is enough... You are from special forces - oh, what's the matter, sir? You should be participating in military operations now!"

"I don't know." Huo Xiu frowned. The military region has launched targeted military operations, but why is it that he and his team are still in the military area?

"Second Lieutenant, do you know who is in charge of the command this time?"

"I'm not sure, but it's not on the planet, because the selected soldiers have been more or less space trained and are estimated to need to be transferred to other regions."

"Oh, I know."

Huo Xiu thought of something. After a few bites of breakfast, he was not in the mood to continue to chew slowly. He said goodbye to Song Shifei and walked towards his camp.

He met Annie on the way.

"sor." She stopped and said, "Finally I found you."

"I forgot to bring my communicator."

"It's okay. I just came out." Anne understood and followed him. "A lieutenant colonel just came and said he wanted to find you."

" Lieutenant Colonel?" Huo Xiu walked and asked, "What does he look like?"

Anne was silent for a few seconds and described the man with her fingers: "A serious face, standing still, like a piece of wood growing on the ground. I wanted to wait for you back with him, but I couldn't stand the dull atmosphere, so I decided to come out to you."

"Your description... Isn't it Lieutenant General Ma Mingjing's assistant?"

Huo Xiu accelerated his return to the camp.

Sure enough, in the office, I met the silent lieutenant colonel standing on the general that day.

"Captain Huo Xiu." He simply said, "The general sent me to explain something to you. I hope you can understand."

"It's okay, sir. Just let me know if you have anything."

"Sit down." Lieutenant Colonel said so, but his expression was as rigid as ever.

Two people sat down.

"About yesterday's military operation, the general originally planned to put you in charge of the ground command of the special forces, but there were some sudden changes later." The lieutenant colonel explained, "The military launched a targeted anti-piracy operation yesterday, jointly carried out by the army forces of the Western Military Region and the ASC Seventh Fleet."

"Joint Action?" Huo Xiu asked.

"Yes, joint action." Lieutenant Colonel nodded and said, "Therefore, the opinions of Deputy Commander of the Seventh Fleet and Lieutenant General Ma Mingjing are somewhat biased in the relevant ground operation arrangements. The deputy commander of the fleet decided to let one of his captains be responsible for commanding ground operations, which is in line with your authority, so the military region can only agree to the other party's arrangement. This is unfair, but I hope you can understand.

"I understand, sir." Huo Xiu said that he understood this behavior - ** naked robbery, and the captain who was arranged must also be a relative of a high-ranking official, otherwise he would not be directly deprived of his command. You know, he came to this place at the behest of General Eisen Eaton.

The lieutenant colonel stared at his face for a while, and then said, "If you want to complain, just tell me that I can understand this kind of thing."

"It's okay, sir." Huo Xiu said with a smile that the lieutenant colonel seemed serious, but his personality was also a little humane. However, Huo Xiu didn't take this too seriously. He didn't think he could take all the credit alone - although he had the ability to do it.

"At this point, I don't know whether the person who replaced you is really a talent or an abscess, but the general and I agree that you are more capable."

"Thank you, sir."

"If it's okay, I'll leave first." The lieutenant colonel had nothing to say. He stayed for a few minutes, turned around and walked out.

Huo Xiu looked at the door and said, "He is still a very upright officer!"

"What should I do, sir?" Annie beside her looked unhappy, "They actually took away the credit that should have belonged to you!"

"There's nothing we can do." Huo Xiu went to the sofa and sat down. "They have all decided. As a small captain, I can only obey the order unconditionally."

"Well, it's all caused by a group of corrupt guys who rely on relationships to go through the back door." Huo Xiu was not particularly emotional, but Annie looked very unconvinced. "In this action, no one has shown better ability than you. Why are they messing around!"

Looking at Annie, who was more angry than himself, Huo Xiu laughed a few times and comforted him, "Reassure yourself. It's good to understand this kind of thing, and the army is not as open and upright as you expect."

"Why aren't you angry?"

"Can anger solve the problem?" Huo Xiu asked her and pointed to the position next to her. " calm down and sit down."

Anne didn't sit down, and she didn't seem to calm down. She bit her lip and walked around the office, thinking about how to do it. Huo Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly and his eyes followed her.

"No, I have to find out who that person is." Annie clapped her hands and decided to walk out of the door without saying a word.

"Where are you going?" Huo Xiu asked her.

"Let's go back to your room." As she walked, she said, "You have a terminal to access the military information agency network, and I happen to have enough permissions."

Huo Xiu didn't stop her. Maybe it's okay to let this little girl vent. She has special authority given by General Eaton to access most of the information of the Military Information Bureau, and he also wants to see who has replaced him.

Later, Annie ran back.

"I found the information." She sat excitedly next to Huo Xiu and handed him a marching computer. "The man's name is 'Rad Cruz', a captain, who has the same surname as the deputy commander of the Seventh Fleet and should be related. He is three years older than you, but he is just a person with ordinary ability but a good temper.

"Cruz?" Huo Xiu looked at the computer and remembered the surname. It seemed that there was a girl in the military academy at that time on the earth...

Huo Xiu took a cursory look. Indeed, according to the information collected by the Military Information Bureau, the captain's performance is really not good, and he is very proud of his family holding important positions in the army, and often does not pay attention to other bosses in private.

Such a person can only carry out the task of extermination of pirates according to the set arranged by others. He only needs to move his mouth and then his subordinates to carry it out. When the task is completed, he can put all these credit on himself.

"It's blatant." Huo Xiu shook his head. Although this phenomenon is inevitable, it is still relatively rare or imperceptible in nearby areas, but it has relaxed a lot in distant areas and does not need to care about the opinions of others. How can such an officer convince the public even if he become a general?

"See, they are a group of foxes." Anne commented, "According to the information we provided, we will mobilize more troops than the enemy, and then carry out an unexpected raid. This time, after the incident, this person will definitely make headlines reported by the military."

"It's also good to let him go up and shake." Huo Xiu actually said so.

"What about you, sir?" Annie was worried about looking at him, "Isn't it a blow?"

"You have been with me for so many years. In addition to the accident of the first meeting, when did you defeat me?" Huo Xiu looked at her with a reassuring smile.

"Of course, no one can beat you." Annie is very confident in him. Except for the scene that Huo Xiu fought on the virtual network for several months and fell to the ground after coming out a few years ago, he always looked like he was sure to win. "But what's the good for you to make him famous?"

"It's good to be famous!" Huo Xiu said with a smile, "Let the unknown public remember him, remember this young officer, and let him carry more prestige and glory - at the same time, he will also owe me more favors. No one can deny that his glory was taken from me."

Anne said "Oh" and suddenly realized, "After the matter is made clear, the person surnamed Cruz and the faction behind him will offend you and the people behind you. This is what they owe you. When you are promoted in the future, they will not be brazen to object."

"Yes, if a person is promoted too fast, it will make the bosses above their heads unconvinced. I'm doing this now to suppress those unconvinced voices in the future. I guess when they are about to complete the task, I can tell the old man behind me this news. What should I do? His level is higher than mine.

Although the people of different factions in the army are not looking at each other, after all, they are loyal to the whole human alliance. They can't rebel, and even superficially want to be kind. As long as this exists, the kind of debt is particularly serious - no one wants to offend the other party.

"I see." Huo Xiu smiled, "I can't let people take advantage of it for nothing. How to grab me, I will grab it back on the other hand, and even pay a higher price."

"Then you are also very credited this time."

Huo Xiu smiled and said that if he hadn't just won the rank, according to this credit and the favor owed by the other party, he would definitely be promoted again. However, even so, he can guarantee that he can climb to the next level within a year or less.
