Girls und War

Things seemed to become unpredictable all of a sudden.

After a long time, Mi Yu finally stopped crying.

Seeing this, Aier and the others left the scene early, giving the two of them some space to be alone.

Xia Shu took Mi Yu to sit by the flower bed. After Mi Yu wiped the tears from her face, Xia Shu showed an expression of listening attentively.

She knew that Mi Yu must have a lot to say, but there was no rush, everything could be done slowly.

Because Xia Shu has given Miyu enough support. The rest depends on her.

Then, Mi Yu began to tell the story of how she and Xiao Jue met.

"Xiao Jue and I first met at our school's anniversary party. Back then, I didn't know what kind of person she was. I just thought she was cute and wanted to get to know her," Mi Yu said, an embarrassed expression on her face. "I'm not afraid to tell you, I wasn't a good person back then either. I just played around all day, fooled around, and messed around with other girls in my circle."

Xia Shu nodded and didn't say much.

Hearing a girl say that she had an affair with other girls was quite shocking to Xia Shu.

Mi Yu seemed to have let go of herself and continued, "So after I met Xiao Jue, we established a relationship not long after. But she was very controlling and didn't like me flirting with other girls while I had her. I didn't think too much about it at the time, thinking that Xiao Jue was just a relatively 'special' girl, but what happened afterwards completely overturned my perception of her..."

"At that time, there was a girl from another school who was particularly attached to me. I didn't pay much attention to her and had a little... um... 'flirtation' with her. But later, Xiao Jue found out about it and... he cut the girl's face..."

Mi Yu's teeth were chattering as she spoke.

Xia Shu could imagine how much of a shock the heart of a young girl who had not yet entered society would suffer after experiencing such a thing.

Even Xia Shu herself felt that she had underestimated Xiao Jue.

I didn't expect a girl could be so cruel.

What is a sudden death update?

681. Buffering

"After that, Xiao Jue was sent to a 'special education class.' I was really scared at the time, but after Xiao Jue left, life returned to normal. I also restrained myself a little because of that incident and stopped messing around with other girls.

"But just when I thought everything was over, Xiao Jue...she came back...she came to find me..."

Mi Yu looked depressed, as if she had not yet recovered from the shock she had felt at that time.

Xia Shu felt the same way. If he were the one being entangled, it would be hard to say whether he could bear these emotions without any pressure.

"I understand that this is all my own fault... If I hadn't approached Xiao Jue at that time... If I hadn't been so despicable... This wouldn't have happened..."

Honestly, everything Miyu faced was her own fault. It's not that she's pathetic, but even pitiful people have their own hateful qualities.

However, it would be too inhumane to deny the meaning of Mi Yu's future existence and say that she deserved everything she experienced.

Seeing Miyu burying her head deeply in her knees, Xia Shu reached out and gently patted her back, saying, "The past is over. Dwelling on the past will only make you feel uncomfortable. You should think about how to move forward..."

"Xia Shu, what should I do? How can I get rid of her? I'm afraid of her..." Mi Yu's eyes revealed deep fear.

Xia Shu thought about it, sighed softly, and then asked again, "Is it really impossible for you to get along with her? Not even as a friend."

"I also consider her a friend, but she...she wouldn't think so! She really is that kind of...very scary person." Mi Yu said sincerely.

Xia Shu nodded, indicating that he understood, and then continued, "Well... things like this can only be communicated slowly through words. You can't just try to escape. Don't just act like you're keeping her at a distance. At least you should slowly communicate with her and try to solve the problem through communication first. Do you understand me?"

Miyu nodded hesitantly.

Seeing that she still had trouble controlling her emotions, Xia Shu advised, "If you really can't communicate with her face to face, you can try communicating with her at a distance first... How about this? I'll help you and act as a buffer between the two of you. If you have anything to say, I'll tell her. I'll also help you resolve her problems. Is that okay?"

When Mi Yu heard this, he nodded quickly.

As long as Xia Shu was there, she was not afraid.

Xia Shu can give her courage!

But then again, no one knows whether Xia Shu's steely personality can serve as a bridge of communication.

I can only hope that her bridge is strong enough and won't collapse under the emotional impact of both sides.

Who made Xia Shu really treat Mi Yu as a friend?

So after that, Xia Shu comforted Mi Yu with some kind words, asking her to relax and put Xiao Jue's matter aside.

In a few days, their company would be on duty on the imaginary battlefield. Xia Shu didn't want Miyu to get into any accidents on the battlefield because of her worries.

And in the next month, she will try her best to persuade Xiao Jue and see if she can resolve her inner knot.

However, Xia Shu had no confidence in this. After all, she was just a sniper and not very good at psychological counseling.

At this point, this little episode of visiting comrades came to an end.

Xia Shu's daily life gradually returned to the routine of shooting, practicing guns, and training snipers.

So after a few days, the Red Dragon Squadron's first month of duty finally came to an end.

After they handed the baton to the Sub-Wolf Squadron, there was no need for the Snow District to continue holding the captives, so they handed Qingxian and others back to the Flower District.

On the day when those unlucky kids came back, the Red Dragon Squadron held a huge event to clear away bad luck.

Specifically, it involves splashing water on them, praying to them, and letting them hit themselves with olive branches, which are other metaphysical activities.

Therefore, superstition is a psychological activity that has existed in human beings since ancient times. It does not mean that with the advancement of science and technology and the evolution of humanities, humans will lose their awe of those incomprehensible and unknown things.

Just like washing your hands before drawing a card or praying before opening a box, these are all understandable weird habits.

Therefore, as long as those personal superstitious behaviors do not hinder others and the normal operation of society, they can be regarded as very normal personal behaviors and can be ignored.

In addition, since we are talking about rotation, let’s also talk about some changes in the battlefield at this stage.

The imaginary battlefield reopened today, and the first month was naturally a period of slack in combat.

The soldiers and officers in each war zone had no intention of fighting seriously, so the control rate on each front basically did not change.

After the first month, several minor military frictions occurred in the large oil field area.

There are no problems in the Two Rivers area for the time being. The main friction points still occur in the western part of the large oil field, the control areas of the sea area and the Eagle area.

Both war zones were very interested in the Grand Canal, so they pushed many front-line combat troops and expensive military equipment as bargaining chips.

However, since the Flower District and the Snow District in the eastern region were both eyeing the situation covetously, both sides were relatively restrained and no large-scale military engagement occurred.

As for the Snow Zone and the Flower Zone, the troops in these two war zones have begun to indulge in playing hide-and-seek in the mountains. Xia Shu’s previous support gun test in the mountains of the Earth Zone was part of the ghost-catching operation.

The Iron District and the Flower District have been flirting with each other for a while now. It's unclear what kind of agreement the generals on both sides have reached. It seems the Sea District will sooner or later suffer the tragic consequences of its allies turning against it.

The above is a relatively complete picture of the battle situation in the large oil field area of ​​the current imaginary battlefield.

The next time the Red Dragon Squadron enters the battlefield may be half a year later in battlefield time.

If nothing unexpected happens, the large oil field area should have undergone earth-shaking changes by then.

Therefore, Xia Shu and the others did not need to worry about the situation on the battlefield for the time being, but instead turned their attention to the various military assessments that were about to be carried out.

During this period, some news has come out from the regular meetings of the Generals' Council, saying that the selection mechanism of the military academy will be reformed.

Although the specific situation is still unclear, it is certain that the enrollment of military academy students will be expanded.

I just don’t know what the specific expansion method will be, and whether the selection of officers in the active-duty forces will be affected.

If you have no interest in officers, these things naturally don't matter.

But for ordinary soldiers who aspire to join the officer rank, this matter becomes more important.

682. I heard that you have made contributions to the Party and the country?

Xia Shu was not very clear about the rumors about the expansion of the officer corps.

She, like the other girls, only knew the information leaked from the Generals' Council and had this tendency.

The overall policy formulation of the Generals' Council is highly confidential.

However, the outside world can still guess the overall direction of the bill revision through some rumors leaked during the meeting.

The most recent trend is that the age of conscription of officers and soldiers is getting lower and lower, from the average age of adults at the beginning to the average age of less than 20 years old now.

It is well known that adults over the age of thirty will be rejected by the Imaginary Battlefield.

This does not mean that active-duty soldiers are completely unable to participate in the virtual battlefield after reaching the age limit.

Rather, it means that after that age, the body's functions will show a complete state of rigidity on the battlefield, and the older the age, the more serious the rigidity.

The exponential growth of rigidity begins after the age of thirty, and after the age of fifty, this exponential growth reaches the limit of action.

In other words, old women over the age of fifty can almost only be in a vegetative state in the imaginary battlefield.

Therefore, when an officer reaches the service age limit, even if he is still "intact", the military will consider the active status of the battlefield and allow active-duty soldiers to enter the reserve and stand by.

Of course, after entering the general rank, this service period will naturally be extended.

Because generals rarely enter the battlefield, and even if they need to go on duty, they don't usually have to fight on the spot. So it's not a big problem for generals to be in a more rigid physical state.

However, precisely because the service period of active-duty officers is set, the admission standard for military academy students is set at under 30 years old.

As for women over 30 years old, unless they are exceptionally talented, even if they still want to serve and contribute to humanity, they can only choose to develop into reserve officers.

Back to the current age for admission to military academies, Hua District definitely agrees with lowering the minimum age standard.

Otherwise, the young commander would not have been allowed to introduce this bill.

So why did the Eagle District object? Was it really just because the Sea Dugong couldn't stand the young commander being such a traitor?

of course not.

The answer is that expanding the number of places available for military academy admissions will not benefit the Eagle District at all.

So here, we have to mention the composition of officers in the Eagle District.

First of all, we need to clarify a concept, that is, as an old and powerful war zone, the Eagle District has maintained its dominant position among the four major war zones for many years.

Over the years, the continuous promotion of officers has already made the number of senior officers at the top bloated.

You have to know that the overall size of the Eagle District's military resources is so large. Even if the recruitment is expanded, the proportion of the extra troops will not be that high.

——Since the number of soldiers is fixed, the number of officers naturally cannot increase indefinitely.

Otherwise, where would the extra officers be placed?

This also led to a problem: the highest command level in the Eagle District, the general rank, was essentially one position for each officer. To get promoted, one had to wait until the oldest active-duty officers retired to the reserve before those behind them had a chance.

Therefore, the probability of senior officers in the Eagle Zone changing jobs is basically the highest among all war zones.

Where did these colonels and even generals who jumped ship go after they did?

The answer is very obvious: those small war zones with great development potential but lack of senior generals.

Don’t think that these small war zones are bullied on the imaginary battlefield every day. In fact, their small size means great potential.

Maybe after a classic battle, a small war zone will take off directly relying on the remains left after a major war.

There are many situations where this happens. And in the case of imaginary battlefields where post-war control is not given much attention, it is actually a high-probability event.

Or maybe they didn't get enough opportunities, and just relied on being a vassal of a major war zone to obtain sufficient strategic resources.

This is how the Four Idiots of Dongmeng developed, and even the rise of the Sakura District was due to the massive support they received from the Eagle District in the early stages.

It is for this reason that these small war zones are actually the biggest beneficiaries after the passage of a series of bills to expand officer personnel.

As for the district that proposed the bill to lower the admission age, did it benefit from this bill?

Yes, but not many.

As an equally old war zone, the finalization of its high-rise buildings has been basically completed.

Unless the number of troops obtained by the Flower District makes a qualitative leap, they will never benefit as much as those small war zones.

If that is the case, why did they take the lead in proposing this bill?

The answer is also very simple - because the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

The strengthening of each small war zone will undoubtedly greatly weaken several large war zones. As long as the weakening of the flower zone is not as great as that of the eagle zone, then relatively speaking, it is a strengthening of the flower zone.

As the saying goes, before you disgust your enemy, you must disgust yourself first.
