Girls und War

But considering the current crackdown, swimsuits cannot be brought back.

So everyone on the bed can only go sea fishing, have an aircraft carrier barbecue or something like that.

Xia Shu never had any objection to the situation of the team members below.

She is, as always, the approachable and gentle leader.

It seems that he never loses his temper with his teammates, and never acts like a leader.

After Yuuki Kanna finished her report, Natsuki nodded and said, "I understand. Put the documents on my desk later. I'll sign them then."

After listening to this, Yujie Shenna responded and then left with the file bag.

Then Rush, who was standing by, walked over and added some juice to the cup.

Xia Shu reached out and gently stroked Nya Nya's head, making the cat girl let out a series of comfortable purrs.

To be honest, this little girl named Rush is really considerate.

Putting aside her clerical work, her sensitivity to people's emotions and her delicate thoughts were praised even by Kanna Yuuki.

It's a pity that this girl can't be involved in civilian work outside of the imaginary battlefield. Otherwise, Xia Shu would have arranged her to be his secretary officer long ago, and there would be no place for Yuuki Kana to interfere.

However, Rush is content with the current situation.

Even if she could only serve tea and water to Xia Shu and do the most basic communication work.

Even though Natsuki said she didn't need help and that Kana Yuuki would be enough, Junko insisted on doing so.

Whenever she is free, she will definitely come to serve Xia Shu first.

After a few visits, Xia Shu got used to Juncus's service inside the imaginary battlefield.

So everyone tacitly accepted that Rush was a special secretary in the field.

In addition, Xia Shu had also considered whether to promote Juncao to a flower district officer.

But for officers, vision loss does make it very inconvenient when they are doing staff work.

This is not just a question of whether it can be seen or not, but also an important procedure in reading and writing documents.

Fortunately, Juncus herself did not insist on these things. It seemed that she was satisfied enough with being able to stay with Xia Shu.

So in the end, Xia Shu gave up this unrealistic idea, thinking that it would be great to let Rush serve as a pendant for him and adapt to being an observer for special missions when he has time.

After all, there is more than one person who treats me as a pendant.

One more or one less doesn't make much difference.

1037. Encyclopedia of Officers and Soldiers of Class A, Third Platoon

After Rush refilled Xia Shu's glass of juice, he took two steps back and stood behind Xia Shu, not bothering him any more.

Xia Shu seemed to be accustomed to Juncao's service and didn't say a word.

He just picked up the cup and took a sip, then put it down and rubbed Nya Nya's ears with his fingers.

Nya Nya was half-sitting on the ground at this time, with her upper body leaning on Xia Shu's chair, her head resting on Xia Shu's thigh, and she seemed to have fallen asleep.

When Xia Shu fiddled with her cat ears, she just shook her ears subconsciously, as if she had become accustomed to this gentle rubbing.

Xia Shu knew that she was very clean and would clean her whole body almost every morning.

Perhaps this is a habit that comes from instinct, or perhaps this girl has a considerable degree of mysophobia.

And in Nya Nya's opinion, there are definitely no more than five people in the world who allow others to touch and knead their ears.

Xia Shu believed that she had given him complete trust, so no matter how Xia Shu treated her, she could accept it.

However, these miscellaneous personal matters can be put aside for the time being.

The most amazing thing is that this cat girl has reached the rank of major without realizing it.

Just as Xia Shu was stroking Nya Nya's head and looking at the sea view, a person next to him leisurely walked up to Xia Shu.

Anyone who had the courage to hang around the head of the special forces at this time must be an old man that Xia Shu was particularly familiar with.

So Xia Shu turned his head and saw Captain Mizube holding a cup of coffee, who seemed to have just crawled out of bed.

The leading sergeant of the nameless second team didn't seem afraid of appearing near Xia Shu.

She seemed to still regard Xia Shu as the new recruit who had just joined the recruit company. When standing on the deck, her eyes were full of the other's young face and the way he called her squad leader.

And Shuibian's own imagination seemed to be excessive.

But Xia Shu still looked at her with a smile and asked, "Why do you look like you just got up, old squad leader?"

Shuibian silently raised the coffee in his hand, frowned, and took a sip. Then he stuck out his tongue, as if trying to dispel the bitter taste in his mouth.

After being perked up by the coffee, she slowly said, "I was on duty last night and sat in the duty room all night. Unlike you, big boss, who eats and sleeps well every day..."

Xia Shu smiled when he heard this and ignored Shuibian's sarcasm.

Originally, officers and non-commissioned officers of their rank did not need to be on duty in the duty room.

However, the command department of the combat troops was too idle during this period, and in comparison, the officers on duty on the aircraft carrier seemed a bit busy.

So Xia Shu simply arranged for officers and soldiers from both sides to take turns on duty to reduce the pressure on the aircraft carrier's duty personnel.

This is to avoid the situation where everyone is on vacation at sea on one hand and working hard on the other, which would create a gap between them due to psychological imbalance.

This order was given by Xia Shu herself, so it was understandable that Shuibian blamed her.

However, Xia Shu did not assign the combat team members to stand guard duty because the special forces could be deployed at any time and they needed to conserve their energy.

The guard team on duty on the aircraft carrier is composed of reserve members of the special forces, who take turns to serve.

Those team members were trained to death in the training camp, and being able to serve on the imaginary battlefield was something they had been longing for.

Will the imbalance in on-duty work lead to psychological imbalance?

At this moment, Nya Nya, who was sleeping next to Xia Shu, seemed to be awakened by the conversation between the two and looked up at the person who came.

Seeing that they were by the water, Nya Nya turned her head away as if it was nothing unusual, leaned against Xia Shu's thigh again, and closed her eyes.

Xia Shu rubbed her ears again, then said towards the water, "Are you interested in officer cadets? Would you like me to write a letter of recommendation for you?"

Shuibian squatted by the deck railing, frowning as he endured the bitter taste of coffee, saying, "Forget it. Being an officer is too tiring, full of intrigue. It's more comfortable to be a squad leader."

"Too tired?" Xia Shu looked at Nya Nya with a smile, pointing at her head and said, "Why do I feel like this girl has it so easy?"

Nya Nya seemed uncomfortable with being pointed at. She shook her head and flicked her ears.

So Xia Shu gently stroked the back of her head again to smooth out her frown.

"Hmph, her." Shuibian put the coffee cup aside, then slumped down and supported his back. "She is the talented type. All she needs to do is fully demonstrate her personal value. Just like you. But I'm different - I know I have no talent. For people without talent to get promoted and achieve merit - you definitely don't know how difficult it is, right?"

Xia Shu was silent for a moment after hearing this.

So Shuibian turned his head back and looked at Xia Shu upside down, and continued, "It's just like the girls in your class - what are the situations of each of them - how much do you know?"

When Xia Shu heard this, he couldn't help but stop stroking the cat girl.

The girls mentioned by the waterside are naturally the weird recruits from Class A of the third platoon.

This batch of new recruits has such a wide range that it can be called an encyclopedia of the military's rank structure.

Among them, the one with the most honorable status and the highest military rank is undoubtedly Xia Shu, who is at the colonel level.

As a commander-in-chief with his own staff, in power, and with a certain influence in the entire flower district - this is undoubtedly the highest point that an ordinary girl who joins the army can see.

It can be said that ordinary generals are no more than this.

The low level of these girls - similar to the level of genius Private Sheng - can be said to be unprecedented.

If a girl can hold the rank of private for more than three years, then basically her entire military career will not see much improvement.

It can be said that anyone who joins the army with some aspirations would not end up like her.

The other girls in Class A, Row 3, also have their own strengths.

Like Captain Blade, the apple of Xia Shu's eye, the rising ace among snipers, who is about to reach the top of the flower district sniper ranks.

Another example is Captain Jia, the captain of the Nameless Team 4, who has not given up and regards the War Blade as a strong competitor.

There is also Lieutenant Miyu, the captain of the nameless team three, who is slightly weaker in individual strength and has tried his best to live up to Xia Shu's trust.

And the captain of Beta Team 2, Lieutenant Komen, who has a more casual personality and shows considerable talent in leading a team even without giving his all.

As for Ai'er and Shanmei, although they were slightly less talented, they were also awarded the rank of sergeant as hard-working non-commissioned officers.

With the addition of two major staff officers, Ning and Nya Nya, the atlas of modern officers and soldiers is almost complete.

1038. Like a Killer Without Emotions

Many people may have doubts about Nya Nya's promotion to colonel.

Such a cat girl who seems to do nothing but meow meow can actually beat many experienced captains and enter the Officer Academy - is there no inside story here?

Is it because she is usually favored and Xia Shu likes her so much that he opened up connections in the military academy for her?

Is nepotism really that good?

Is it really that useful to recommend yourself as a pillow or bed?

of course not.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Nya Nya seems to have nothing to do except being affectionate at Xia Shu's lap - but in fact, she is a staff officer with a very important say in the special operations staff group.

Don't forget this cat-eared officer, she was one of the first girls in Class A, Platoon 3 to enter the Lieutenant Academy.

Putting aside the fact that Natsuki was a lieutenant instructor and had led the military training for the first few months - in fact, Nya Nya and Natsuki could be said to be from the same batch of outstanding talents who were selected as officers.

This alone cannot be underestimated.

Coupled with Nya Nya's talent in clerical work, she even has the ability to write internal reports for the cabinet.

This point is recognized by many high-level military officers.

So even if we put aside the cuteness of the cat girl and Natsuki's personal hobbies, Nya Nya's staff ability is far above the level of ordinary officers and has reached an excellent level.

In fact, several items in the combat plan put forward by the special forces were first proposed by Nya Nya.

This included a plan for a surprise attack on an air base during polar warfare, and a plan for a long-distance attack north of the permafrost lake during the alpine campaign, infiltrating the Sakura-controlled area from the rear.

So in a sense, Nya Nya was a natural-born advisor. Her divergent thinking in strategy was better than any other staff officer Xia Shu knew.

It's just that this girl's personality is a little strange. While being a human, she also has many habits of wild animals.

This often leads to her lack of motivation at work. Perhaps she would rather live like a cat than like a human.

Another one of the colonel's staff, Miss Ning, is a quirky tech geek who loves machinery. Although she seems low-key, she has left a very deep impression of a "workaholic" in everyone's mind.

This girl seems to be the exact opposite of Nya Nya. Her level of dedication to her work is simply jaw-dropping.

It seems that no matter what task she is assigned, she can complete it perfectly like a robot.

Just based on this point, this girl's compatibility with the modern army has reached a level where it would be a waste not to use her.

Not to mention her innate sensitivity to smart devices, which allows her to perfectly train all kinds of tools and combat equipment.

Therefore, no matter how many times Zhan Ren and Jia show up in front of Xia Shu, even if they increase their presence to the limit - from the actual role alone, they are still not as important to Xia Shu as Nya Nya and Ning - these two natural military talents.

But Xia Shu didn't want to talk about these things with Shuibian at this time.

Because judging these former classmates based solely on their value is somewhat hurtful.

If he really only cared about these things, Xia Shu would not have kept Sheng and let her be the mascot of the special forces.

As if sensing the hesitation in Xia Shu's hand, Nya Nya suddenly opened her eyes, raised her head and looked at Xia Shu in confusion.

Seeing this, Xia Shu just smiled and stroked her hair again.

So Nya Nya lowered her head again and snored comfortably.

Sitting cross-legged on the deck by the water, gazing at the distant sea, the coffee was a little cold, so it became more bitter.

But she seemed to be accustomed to the bitter taste at the back of her tongue, and her expression softened as she sipped her coffee.

After a while, Xia Shu continued, "Let's not talk about these things anymore. Let's talk about something else. I ran into Miss Fengqi when I went to the headquarters earlier. As soon as she saw me, she asked about your recent situation - haven't you been in touch with her recently?"
