Girls und War

1005. People go to high places, water flows to low places

Before Xia Shu was promoted to colonel, he always felt that he was a head shorter than others when he saw them taking naps.

Although as the commander-in-chief of operations, when facing the general manager of the camp, according to his position, he should listen to her.

But, but - that feeling always makes people feel that something is missing.

It's like the subtle feeling when two people touch the other's body first before going to bed at night.

Jiamei was very aware of Xia Shu's current thoughts, so she stopped what she was doing and said to Xia Shu in a very accommodating manner, "Well, Commander, after get off work, let's go out for dinner together - is that okay?"

Jiamei emphasized the three words "commander-in-chief", which made Xia Shu feel very happy, as if Jiamei had scratched the itch in her heart.

But Xia Shu didn't want to seem too careless, so he coughed pretentiously and replied, "Well, no rush, no rush. I haven't finished get off work yet. What's the rush?"

Faced with such a pretentious Xia Shu, there was nothing he could do about pretending to sleep.

But Xia Shu suddenly looked up, as if remembering something, and said to the sleepy man, "Oh, right. I suddenly received a lot of letters from military academies, inviting me to attend the General Officer Academy. What do you think I should do?"

When Jiamei heard what Xia Shu said, his expression did not show any surprise.

Because the military academy invitation that Xia Shu mentioned was not from the General Officer Academy in the Hana District.

Just think about it, Xia Shu has just been promoted to colonel, and without accumulating enough military merit and qualifications, it is obviously unlikely that he will be promoted to general so quickly.

Therefore, those invitations came from general officer academies in other small war zones.

To use an analogy, the Huaqu Military Academy is a world-class institution, while the ones who invited her are those nameless, fake universities.

Faced with such an admission invitation, Xia Shu naturally could not easily agree.

Because entering a certain school means you will serve as a general in that war zone in the future.

It is impossible for a star colonel like Xia Shu, who has a bright future, to lower his status and go to those unknown small war zones.

So how to deal with these invitation letters is where Xia Shu is conflicted.

He thought for a moment and said in a matter-of-fact tone, "What can I do? Of course I should write back and reject them. Or do you really want to be a general in those small war zones? Would you rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix?"

"How is that possible? There's nothing wrong with me!" Xia Shu said with his eyes wide open.

The flower district is now in its rising period, and Xia Shu is in such an important position. Choosing to change jobs at this time would be really crazy.

But after thinking about it, she said, "But I don't know how to refuse. I always feel that rejecting them like this seems a bit impolite."

"You'll get used to it." Fake Sleep picked up his teacup and spoke with the air of a seasoned veteran. "You'll only receive more and more letters like this. There are over a hundred war zones in the Imaginary Battlefield, and every school is trying every possible way to recruit talent. I remember when I was first promoted to colonel, I received more than a dozen invitations a day. And some war zones are so persistent, they send letters every month. If you don't reject them decisively, they'll cling to you like leeches, impossible to shake off."

As he spoke, he nudged Xia Shu with his chin and asked, "You don't want to be harassed by them every day, do you?"

Seeing Xia Shu shaking his head and pretending to sleep, he took a sip of tea and continued, "Then you should just be straightforward and tell them like a scumbag who just sat up from the bed, 'I'm not interested in you, don't bother me anymore', that's all."

After hearing these words, Xia Shu was speechless.

Seeing Xia Shu still a little hesitant, Jiamei added, "Of course, you could be a little more tactful with your words. You're the commander-in-chief after all, so you should leave these matters to your subordinates. And have you chosen a secretary? You don't really want Xiaohua to be your personal secretary, do you?"

Hearing this, Xia Shu subconsciously replied, "Is it not possible?"

"..."

Fake sleep, holding the teacup, was unable to refute for a moment. Then she said angrily, "Okay, okay! You are the boss! You have the final say! It's up to you—it's up to you, okay?"

As he said that, he began to pack up, apparently preparing to leave.

Seeing this, Xia Shu asked, "Where are you going?"

"Eat! Didn't you come here to call me?"

"Oh yes, it's time to get off work..."

As Xia Shu said this, he walked out of the office with the mumbling Jiamei and prepared to go to the small restaurant for leaders in the cafeteria to eat.

I was walking down the stairs when I suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind me.

The two turned around and found Captain Hua running towards them from the office.

Xia Shu was just thinking about saying "Cao Cao Cao" when he saw Captain Hua's face light up and he said, "My good commander! Why don't you stay in the office instead of running around everywhere? I can't find you when I need you!"

Xia Shu was stunned when he heard this and asked, "What's the matter?"

Captain Hua nodded and replied, "A very special person has come with a very special request. We can't handle it here, so we can only inform you first."

Natsuki looked puzzled when she heard Captain Hana's words. She turned to look at Kamei, who also had a puzzled look on his face.

So Xia Shu asked, "Who is it? What's your request?"

Captain Hua's expression was a little complicated, but he still said seriously, "It's a captain from the Sakura District. She said she wants to join our special forces!"

"What?" Xia Shu and Jiamei both looked confused.

After a brief shock, Xia Shu felt that things were not simple.

Then he asked, "What's that person's name?"

Captain Hua showed a nostalgic expression, and then he remembered the name of Captain Sakura.

"Yujie Kanna, her name is Yujie Kanna."

-

A few minutes later, when Captain Yujie Shenna sat at the table in the small restaurant of the Hana District Special Forces camp, he felt unexpectedly warm treatment.

Originally, she thought she would be met with a cold reception here, or even be turned away.

But unexpectedly, Xia Shu was willing to meet her and invited her to his small restaurant for dinner.

What is the small dining room? It is where the most senior leaders of the regiment eat together.

There are only a few people in the special forces who are qualified to sit here and eat.

They are Xia Shu, Jia Mei, Yi Xian, Yu Hua Tai, Qing Xian and You.

Senior Sergeant Fafner would occasionally come over to keep her company, but most of the time, she preferred to eat downstairs with the other non-commissioned officers.

At this time, Yujie Kana was brought to the small restaurant by Captain Hua, sat down, and got a seat.

Maybe for Xia Shu, this is just a matter of adding a set of bowls and chopsticks.

But for Kana Yuuki, she had never experienced such equal treatment - at least, from her former leader, Nadeshiko Tamano.

1006. The Poor White-Collar Worker in Sakura District Bullied at Work

It’s really hard to describe what Miss Kana Yuuki has been experiencing in Sakura District for some time.

Although her current sniper ranking has increased slightly compared to when she first met Xia Shu two years ago.

But she is a disabled player after all.

That is to say, he is a second-tier junior officer who is no better than a chicken after he has become out of fashion.

In this situation, it would be fine if she was willing to listen to Tamano Fuko carefully.

But she refused to give up and tried to challenge herself, thinking that she could break through the shackles of being a "second-line officer" on her.

But what is the Sakura District?

To put it nicely, it is a strict hierarchy.

To put it bluntly, it's workplace hell.

Not to mention arbitrarily rebelling against one's immediate superior, even if one has the slightest doubt about an order, one will be subjected to extremely harsh and bullying criticism.

Kana Yuuki also tried to switch to other military leaders.

But first of all, the military in the Sakura District is so small - unlike the Flower District, the various military departments and teams are far apart, and officers in one area may not have any intersection with officers from other military departments until they retire.

There are many connections between the officers of various departments in Sakura District, and Kana Yuusuke's rejection of Tamano Nadeshiko is equivalent to rejecting the entire Sakura District military.

Faced with such a rebellious officer, even if she was once an ace sniper, who would be so confident as to take her in?

Secondly, today's snipers are not as good as they used to be.

After the emergence of special forces, a new combat force, the sniper's ace halo gradually began to fade.

Today's ace snipers either become leaders of special forces with their excellent tactical skills, or slightly change their combat form and add the word "special warfare" in front of the sniper's title.

Someone like Kana Yuuki who is neither good nor bad - especially when she has already lost her life - naturally no one would regard her as a hot commodity.

So, in this desperate situation, Kana Yuuki suddenly had an idea and came to Xia Shu's special forces, hoping to try her luck and switch to another team.

As for why I chose the Flower District instead of the Eagle District——

One reason is the loser's worship of the winner.

You have to know that the ethos of the Sakura Ward is that the strong are respected. Not only was Kanna Yuuki defeated by Natsuki, but even Sakura Ward has now become a defeated opponent of Hana Ward.

So if we develop towards the flower area, it means that the weak will learn from the strong.

The girls in Sakura District can also accept this kind of feeling psychologically.

At the same time, there is another point, that is, Yujie Kanna had heard before that Rabbit God seemed to have broken away from Ou Meng and joined the Flower District at the invitation of Natsuki.

If Rabbit God can choose to change jobs, it doesn't seem so shameful for her, Yujie Shenna, to come and recommend herself.

But she herself knows her own worth.

Originally, Yujie Kanna didn't have much hope for this "job search".

Unexpectedly, Xia Shu not only did not turn her away, but also enthusiastically took her into the small restaurant for middle-level officers.

A group of school officers were eating dinner casually in the restaurant. Seeing that Kana Yuuki was the person brought in by Natsuki, they didn't say much.

But occasionally, they would cast their curious eyes on the former ace sniper of the Sakura District.

I heard that this was the first "elite monster" that Xia Shu faced after arriving at the Imaginary Battlefield.

I don't know how much of his strength Xia Shu exerted when he had the ace duel with her.

-

Seeing Kana Yuuki sitting there without moving her chopsticks, Natsuki asked kindly, "Eat? Why aren't you eating? Is it not to your liking?"

Yujie Kanna hurriedly smiled and nodded, fearing that she would cause Natsuki's dissatisfaction.

But anyone with a discerning eye could see that she looked very worried.

As for the dishes on the table, needless to say, they were all prepared according to the recipes Xiao Zhao carefully prepared for the officers.

Most of them were prepared to suit the tastes of Natsuki and Kamei, and the other officers also had one or two dishes they liked.

But faced with such a wide variety of recipes, Yujie Shenna had no intention of savoring them carefully.

Her mind was now filled with thoughts about whether she could join the Flower District Special Forces, and she was too lazy to think about anything else.

As for Xia Shu, I don’t know if she was deliberately whetting people’s appetite, but she just smiled and said that this dish was delicious and tasted good; that dish was unique and worth trying.

After a while, she talked about the past again, and then said to Yujie Kanna, "Oh, I remember that the last time I entered the high mountain front, I happened to fight you. That was two years ago, right? A lot of interesting things happened between Dragon and your captain..."

Seeing Xia Shu ramble on and on but never get to the point, Jiamei, who was standing by, couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but say, "Are you done yet? I've been waiting for you for ages, just waiting for you to get down to business, and you've been reminiscing about the past? That's too much!"

Hearing the words of the fake sleep, Xia Shu also slapped his forehead and said to Yujie Kanna, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, am I talking too much nonsense? Alas, there is nothing I can do. After being promoted to colonel, I always like to reminisce about the past..."

Upon hearing this, several officers nearby showed expressions of disbelief.

It seems that they are all annoyed by Xia Shu's display of military rank.

Yujie Shennai immediately said humbly, "No, no, no, as the commander-in-chief of the Flower District Special Forces, it is already a blessing for me that you can take the time to deal with my unintentional audience. How could I dare to ask for more?"

Hearing such a serious answer, Xia Shu was also stunned for a moment, then he touched his chin and muttered, "Why are you so formal..."

She then coughed lightly, put on a serious face, and said to Yujie Shenna, "Then, let's talk about your application to join the team. I personally don't have any prejudice against officers who jumped ship from other war zones. But generally speaking, they all have to start special training in the training camp..."

Upon hearing this, Yujie Kanna quickly replied, "I... I can do it! I'm fine! I've also participated in the special forces selection of the Sakura team before, and passed the final Devil Week assessment! But..."

"But?" Xia Shu raised his eyebrows.

"But, I'm a commissioned officer and cannot be assigned to the front-line combat team. They only let me do some odd jobs in the reserve department..." Yuzue Kanna said with a sullen look on her face.

"Oh, so that's it..." Natsuki narrowed his eyes, as if he understood Kana Yuuki's problem.

What kind of important position can a junior officer get?

You can't go to the front line because there is a risk of being killed and retired directly.
