Girls und War

Xia Shu was still a little confused, so he asked stupidly, "How do I shoot it?"

Chunxiang said sheepishly, "You don't have to move, let's just get closer and take a picture."

As he spoke, he called out the selfie interface, and then put his face close to Xia Shu's.

Xia Shu felt a little embarrassed and his body became a little stiff.

Yanjie reminded him, "Xia Shu, be more natural and put your arm around Haruka, otherwise she will get suspicious."

Xia Shu said "Oh" and put his arms around Chunxiang's waist. Chunxiang moaned and made a strange sound.

"What, what, what...what's wrong?" Xia Shu quickly retracted his hand as if he was scalded by boiling water.

"No...it's okay, my waist is quite sensitive." Chunxiang said with a blushing face, "Just hold my arm, be more natural."

So Xia Shu took Haruka's arm, put down the delicious stick in his hand, and prepared to take pictures seriously.

"Oh, don't!" Yanjie said again, "Just hold that thing in your mouth and look at the camera with a domineering expression."

"Why are you so domineering?" Xia Shu was a little confused.

"Well... just think about the second before crossing the finish line during a race and try to find that feeling." Yanjie gave a suggestion.

Xia Shu thought about it, and soon his expression became serious. Then he imagined the camera as the finish line and stared straight at it.

Haruka's face flushed red, and she leaned against Xia Shu like a little bird, with their faces very close, and pretended to kiss him.

Then the camera made a "clicking" sound.

As the instigator, Yanjie naturally took the opportunity to snap a few photos. However, she wasn't planning on publicizing them, but simply took photos of the scene as an admirer, intending to savor them later.

Haruka's heart was beating so fast when she was taking the photo that even Natsuki could feel it.

She felt a little embarrassed, so she tilted her head slightly and said, "Is the photo taken?"

"Ah?" Chunxiang also subconsciously tilted her head, and as a result, the corners of their lips accidentally rubbed against each other.

A certain fiery burning feeling separated the two of them in an instant.

Neither of them dared to look each other in the eye. Xia Shu asked again, "Is the shooting done?"

Chunxiang responded in a whisper, and as if worried that Xia Shu hadn't heard, she added, "It's done."

Yanjie was admiring the intimate photos he had just taken of the two top stars in the flower district, and did not notice the little interaction between the two for a moment.

But after hearing what Chunxiang said, he still looked up and said, "Have you finished filming? Let me see if it's okay."

Upon hearing this, Chunxiang quickly jumped to Yanjie and showed her the photo.

Yanjie took a look, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Just looking at it, you're a match made in heaven! No one outside would believe you two aren't a couple. Just send it to him, I guarantee there will be no problem!"

Chunxiang nodded, quickly called up the blacklist, and removed the male artist from the blacklist.

Then he sent a message, "Are you there?"

In less than ten seconds, the other side replied with a puzzled expression, saying, "Didn't you block me?"

Then the other party seemed to realize it and immediately sent out a message saying, "Are you busy? Have you eaten? It's cold outside. Drink more hot water. I thought you ignored me. I'm sorry, it was all my fault before. I've seriously reflected on it. Please don't block me, okay? I just want to talk to you more. Is the competition hard? Are you tired? Rest more and go to bed early. Staying up late is bad for your skin. It's okay if you don't reply to my message. As long as you are happy. If you need me, send me a message anytime."

What Chunxiang can't stand the most is this aspect of this person.

So she ignored all the nonsense from the other party, sent the photo directly, and said, "This is my 'that one', please stop harassing me to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."

There was silence for a moment, and then only three words were replied, "Got it."

Then the other person's profile picture dimmed, as if he had finally given up.

Seeing this, Chunxiang also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is it solved?" Yanjie asked with a smile.

"Well, it's solved. Thank you." Haruka showed a grateful expression.

"Nothing, I just offered an idea." Yanjie gestured towards Xia Shu, "If you want to thank someone, thank that person."

Then, Chunxiang turned to Xia Shu, looked at the ground shyly, and said, "Thank you so much for today..."

Xia Shu was a little afraid to look directly at Haruka, and said vaguely, "It's nothing, just a little help."

Time seemed to go back to the first time they met in this dormitory, and the interpersonal relationship between the two seemed to start again from the starting point.

It's just a starting point in another sense.

"Hey? What's wrong with you guys?" Yanjie showed a puzzled expression, "Are you going to make this fake play real?"

"How, how, how, how, how... How is this possible!" Chunxiang seemed to have touched a sensitive nerve and said hurriedly, "Well, well, well... It's getting late! Shouldn't we have dinner?"

"Yes, yes! Let's go to the cafeteria together." Xia Shu also stood up and agreed.

"Oh, yes. Then let's go." Yanjie put the matter aside.

But a smug smile seemed to appear in the corner of her eyes.

554. The Navy Department Wants to Undermine the Iron Wall

The three people who walked out of the dormitory area were all quite well-known.

Haruka, of course, has always been a prominent figure in the Hana district. Natsuki has also been gaining popularity lately, and few people don't know her.

As for the discussion, let's not talk about anything else. Even if she showed the military rank on her shoulders, more than 90% of the people in the lunar orbit base would salute her.

So on the way from the dormitory area to the cafeteria, the exclamations never stopped.

The three of them didn't really care about other people's eyes, because they were almost used to this situation.

Even when they were sitting in the cafeteria, they were still talking and laughing and chatting.

"Oh, I almost forgot something." Yanjie suddenly said to Xia Shu, "There is something I want to tell you."

"What?" Xia Shu looked like he was listening attentively.

"That's right... The Navy Department asked me to ask you if you'd like to join us. If you do, you'll be recommended for a place in the military academy, and upon completion of your studies, you'll be promoted two ranks to the rank of captain."

Kenji said this to Natsuki very naturally, as if saying that the grilled sausages tonight tasted good.

Xia Shu was a little surprised and asked, "Why so sudden? Also, didn't you mention this last time?"

Yanjie shrugged, looking nonchalant.

As she ate, she said, "You performed so well in the underwater diving competition. Our commander really likes you. He heard that I have a good relationship with you, so he asked me to recruit you."

Yanjie said this, wiping the corner of his mouth with a napkin, carefully looking around, and then continued, "Last time it was my personal act of poaching, this time it's official. The two are different, just understand it this way."

Xia Shu nodded, as if he understood what Yanjie meant, and then asked, "Is there any difference between the two? And didn't I promise you that I would go to your place if I had the chance?"

"There is a difference, of course there is a difference." Yanjie analyzed it for Xia Shu very seriously. "The conditions that the Navy Headquarters can offer you, I can't give you. I think your situation here is only to give you a way out after you lose your life.

"And the reason the Navy Headquarters wants you here is that you will be fully committed to the Navy and serve on the front lines of the Shanghai War as a member of the elite force.

"Which of the two is more important? Consider it yourself."

After listening to her, Xia Shu understood what the navy meant.

Indeed, the Navy Department's poaching behavior was not Yanjie's personal behavior, and judging from her expression, whether Xia Shu agreed or not had little to do with her.

"Why aren't you interested in this poaching job?" Xia Shu suddenly said with a smile, "Why are you suddenly not interested in me?"

"Ha, of course I'm interested in you." Yanjie also laughed, "But I'm not optimistic about this matter anyway."

"why?"

"First of all, the front-line combat troops of the Army Department are the top priority of the military front. In the integrated combat system of land, sea and air, the army at the same level has absolute say over other branches of the military. So your current development prospects are definitely much better than coming to the Navy Department. And I think you will definitely not be interested in other branches of the military for the time being." Yanjie said clearly.

"Secondly, even if you agree to the Navy Headquarters' request to recruit you, your military command may not necessarily release you. Let's see how many people are paying attention to you right now—Jiamei, Wutongqi, Liangyue, Qimingxing, and the young commander. With these people around, the Navy Department can't possibly poach you. They don't even have to think about it."

After saying that, Yanjie picked up the teacup and took a sip of the seaweed soup in it.

At this point, Xia Shu finally understood that Yanjie's poaching behavior was just a simple execution of her orders.

After all, Yanjie knew from the beginning that the result of this poaching behavior could only be failure.

Unless Xia Shu has an extreme liking for the Navy Department, or a big boss in the Army Headquarters has a conflict with Xia Shu and tries to drive Xia Shu away in various ways.

There is no other way.

Xia Shu sorted out the twists and turns here, and seeing Chunxiang beside him, who was silent and calm, he smiled and asked, "Has Chunxiang ever experienced this kind of poaching before?"

Seeing Xia Shu approaching her, Haruka's face flushed slightly, then she feigned composure and said, "Of course they did. But after I became the propaganda pillar of the Flower District Propaganda Department, they gave up on that idea. Let me tell you, even if we lose our lives, the Army will keep us firmly in their hands. Even if I retire from the front lines, they will arrange for me to be a staff officer in the headquarters, and I will definitely not be put in the Navy or Air Force lineup."

Xia Shu thought for a moment and said, "It seems that the navy, army and air force's fight to snatch people is indeed very intense."

But then something occurred to her, so she asked, "Hey, why are the Navy and Air Force so short of people, but we don't see them recruiting separately? Don't they need it?"

"That's not the case." Yanjie patiently explained after hearing Xia Shu's question, "The recruitment rules of our three military departments are actually under the same system. It's just that you have fewer opportunities to come into contact with it, so you have never seen it.

“In fact, after completing three months of training, new recruits will go through a selection process when they are assigned to their units.

"First, the frontline troops will be selected. This is the most important thing. All the outstanding recruits they see will be selected. Then, the navy and air force can go in and select people.

"How many of the new recruits are still worthy of their attention at this point? So, they usually only pick one or two from each batch. These few will be interviewed individually, and the vast majority will not miss this opportunity to join an elite unit. Therefore, the outside world knows very little about the Navy and Air Force recruitment information.

"And the outstanding recruits selected by the front-line troops have always been in excess. These people will not be left to the navy and air force for nothing; they will all be absorbed by the elite companies within the standing forces.

"As for the rest of the misfits, they'll just be thrown into those ordinary companies where neither their parents care about them."

After listening to Yanjie's explanation, Xia Shu felt very sad.

Yanjie thought for a moment and added, "It's not just new recruits; all other recruitment systems are like this. For example, military academy admissions and scientific research center recruitment all follow these rules."

So the Air Force and Navy will naturally treat all their manpower like treasures."

555. Suddenly thought of a hot woman

After hearing this, Xia Shu also gained a new understanding of the extent of the Navy's desire for him.

No wonder when Yanjie was setting conditions for himself, he mentioned that he was a captain.

You have to know that Doragon has worked for so many years to reach this position.

Thinking of this, Xia Shu couldn't help laughing.

She thought, if she really agreed to the Navy Department's request to recruit people, would she be on equal footing with Doragon?

Seeing Xia Shu laugh, Yanjie also laughed.

She thought Xia Shu looked down on the treatment at the Navy Department, so she said, "It's okay to be a captain. In my opinion, if you really want to go, they will definitely not let you just be a diving cannon fodder.

"You'll definitely be assigned a Marine Special Operations Team, and resources will definitely be heavily allocated to you. If things go wrong, you'll end up being used as a flag for the Flower District Navy."

Well, in the future, I will not only be on par with Dragon, but also surpass her in military status.

Xia Shu smiled and shook his head, it seemed that he would not consider this issue for the time being.

Seeing this, Yanjie nodded in understanding. If she were in his place, she would probably make the same choice.

"Anyway, I've already said it. It's your freedom to make any choice. If you are interested, just contact me at any time. This advice is always valid." Yanjie said this at the end.

Upon hearing this, Xia Shu naturally thanked him first, as she was not at a loss anyway.

If you encounter any difficulties with your boss in the future, just bring up this incident.

But think about it carefully, who would make things difficult for a popular ace sniper?

The three of them chatted and laughed and continued eating.

At this moment, Xia Shu suddenly remembered something, so he asked Yanjie again, "Speaking of new recruits, I suddenly remembered something."

"what?"

"What kind of treatment will new recruits receive if they are recruited to the logistics department?"

"Logistics Department..." Yanjie frowned and thought for a moment before asking, "Why are you asking this?"

"It's okay, just asking." Xia Shu naturally wouldn't tell her about Sheng's bad things.

"Generally speaking, there's no such practice." Yanjie, assuming Xia Shu wanted to know the specifics of war zone conscription, explained word by word with extreme caution. "But in special circumstances, such as if a recruit has a physical disability or some force majeure prevents them from serving in the regular army, they might be assigned to the logistics unit. After all, no war zone can deprive citizens of their right to serve according to law."

Xia Shu thought about it and said, "Like rushes?"

"Rush?" Yanjie was momentarily stunned, but she quickly recalled the blind girl in the Red Dragon Squadron. "Oh, yes, Rush fits that description. But the HR department probably considered some of her advantageous qualities, and therefore didn't make such a decision."
