Through the training method of a white bird, the record of the Imperial Army has been significantly improved.

But at the same time, some people in the army are grieving.

"The new training is too demanding, it doesn't treat people as human beings!" they said.

Wu Qiao knew that in order to escape, many people were even captured deliberately. He felt that it was better to be captured than to go back to train. For them, every day is difficult and they can't feel any fun at all. Every minute is like hell, afraid of the beginning of the day and looking forward to the end of the day.

"I like the night when I can't sleep well." I don't know who said such a famous saying, "Wake up after one hour of sleep, and find that you can sleep again. That is the happiest time of the day. I wake up several times every night. You can laugh a few more times."

Some people are unwilling to train or be captured, so they desperately try to become deserters.

"Wu Qiao." One day, Wu Qiao unexpectedly received a call, and on the other end of the call was his "Military Academy" classmate—Helena.

"Long time no see, how are you?"

"Stop talking about me..." Helena asked Wu Qiao anxiously, "Wu Qiao, do you...recognize someone from the military prison? You have the highest position among your classmates..."

"Military prison?" Wu Qiaoqi asked, "What is it for?"

"It's Layla." Helena was silent for a while, and then said again, "She wanted to leave the army, but she didn't succeed."

"..."

Wu Qiao also knew that there was a large-scale escape a few days ago, but some of them were caught back.

"The sentence will be very heavy, and I can't stand her... If you know someone, let them take care of them for the sake of classmates. Don't make her too difficult." Layla and Helena, two girls, are also very emotional after graduation. it is good.

"I don't know." Wu Qiao sighed, "but I will ask someone else."

"please."

After putting down the phone, Wu Qiao asked Tan Yan not to let Laila be treated undeservedly. After that, he thought for a while and took some time to take a good drink and went to the prison to see Layla. Of course, Tan Yan arranged it.

Layla's appearance is not much different from a few years ago, not very gorgeous, but it has a taste when you look closely. It is not the same as the beauty of the public.

In the military course at that time, Layla was the most beautiful, and her grades were also among the best.

Wu Qiao sighed: "I didn't expect to meet again on this occasion."

Laila glanced at Wu Qiao: "I won't say anything when you come."

"...You misunderstood." Wu Qiao put down the wine, opened the bottle cap in a few clicks, poured into two wine glasses, "I really just came to see you, by the way, it's just a reminder of the past." In his opinion, a former friend When this happened, he should accompany him to chat and give her some wine she loves to make her feel better.

"..."

Unlike what Layla expected at the beginning, Wu Qiao really didn't ask her who the mastermind was, what she planned to do after leaving the army, or who was outside to take care of her.

It's really just drinking and reminiscing about the past.

However, in the end, before Wu Qiao left, Layla asked: "Wu Qiao, are you planning to stay in the army like this?"

"Huh?" Wu Qiao was a little puzzled, "Yes. Peace has not arrived yet, I will continue to fight."

"..."

Wu Qiao looked at Leila and asked, "Why ask me like this?"

"…It's nothing."

"There must be a reason?"

Layla said, "I just thought, would someone as smart as you realize that the army is chaotic now?"

Wu Qiao: "..."

"In order to win this war, it has gradually become evil."

"Do you mean training soldiers?"

"More than that." Layla said as if he felt Wu Qiao was very pitiful. "Wu Qiao, your leapfrog tactics skipped 59 stars, captured 200,000 enemy troops, and avoided hundreds of thousands of deaths and injuries. What a great thing, you should be very proud, right?"

"..." This is natural, but Wu Qiao doesn't understand why Layla mentions this.

"According to what I know about you... I'm sorry I said I know you. The reason why you use this tactic is not only to reduce the loss of our army, but also to reduce the number of enemies we wiped out? In your opinion, more than It’s better to kill people and take them prisoners.”

"For ordinary soldiers, if the opponent is willing to surrender, they will naturally not rush to exterminate them. Isn't this normal? It's the general rule of modern warfare.

Leila said indifferently, "If I tell you, the captured people are still dead?"

"How is it possible?" Wu Qiao felt that he had heard something very absurd. "Are you trying to say that the Empire slaughtered prisoners of war?"

"No," Layla said, "but in fact, they died. The Empire deliberately did not pay attention to them. Countless people suffered from diseases, and some were contagious, but the Empire pretended not to know it. Many people did not pay attention to them. People pay attention and die, so the empire does not need to feed them."

"...!!!"

"You also know that now the empire has no money to fight, and military expenditures are stretched. Didn’t there still be some soldiers who fought passively because they couldn’t pay for them? So the more prisoners of war died, the fewer people had to feed. It took hundreds of thousands of lives, but I didn’t know that the Empire completely regarded it as a burden. Wu Qiao, did you know that those prisoners of war died not one by one, but one by one."

"..."

Wu Qiao knew that the army was in urgent need of money. Tan Yan said before that several major banks were all taken into the state, but he was still very shocked, thinking of those scenes and even shuddered unconsciously.

At the same time, Wu Qiao also understood why Layla would ask him that question.

It seemed that the empire was right. Layla and the others were really planning to rebel when they fled this time, so Layla didn't even forget to agitate herself in the prison.

Wu Qiao asked: "How do you know these things?"

"I naturally have channels. This happened before, and someone will always know."

"What do you plan to do with those who have escaped?"

"Huh." Layla picked up the glass and took a sip of wine.

"..." Wu Qiao knew, because she didn't make a statement just now, Layla wouldn't say anything at this moment. However, he still didn't give up and asked: "Do you form an organization to resist the Republic?" Leaving the imperial army and protecting the country in his own way?

Layla drank another drink with her neck raised.

Wu Qiao knew that Leila had a stubborn personality, and she was very strong at the same time. She would definitely not say anything she didn't want to say, so she sighed slightly and filled her glass with wine again.

"You still don't drink?" Leila glanced at Wu Qiao sideways.

"Don't drink."

"Tsk."

…

This meeting made Wu Qiao feel very depressed.

However, he didn't suppress it for long, and something unexpected happened to him.

-Leila successfully escaped from prison.

It is said that she did not know what medicine she had taken. Soon after Wu Qiao left, she developed terrible symptoms—eyes, skin, sputum, and urine all turned yellow, and she cried out for pain while clutching her stomach.

Soon, she was sent to an affiliated hospital of the Military Hospital dedicated to treating prisoners of war.

The military wants her to tell who the mastermind is, so she pays attention to the symptoms of bile duct obstruction.

At the hospital, she escaped from prison.

The medical staff in the hospital come and go, so it is relatively easy to sneak in for rescue.

Wu Qiao, who had just visited Layla this morning, was naturally the number one suspect.

However, the military department naturally cannot find evidence for things that have not been done.

The bottle of wine was taken for testing, and it turned out that everything was normal.

Wu Qiao’s recent record has been excellent. The military department was afraid of killing him by mistake. In addition, Tan Yan tried his best to protect him. Wu Qiao himself didn’t want that kind of person. The military department finally determined that someone wanted to blame Wu Qiao and shifted the focus of the investigation to a few. On a guard.

As for Wu Qiao, he was punished just because he brought wine in.

At the same time, in response to the recent frequent incidents of people surrendering and fleeing, the army has changed its military regulations, and neither surrender nor escape is allowed. The captured soldiers and the families of the escaped soldiers will be punished on their behalf.

"It's ashamed to say it." Wu Qiao was a little tired, and said to his friend Ji Yao, "I was actually relieved."

"..."

"I'm really afraid to see Layla being executed." Among his friends, there are too many dead people, and he can't bear it anymore. Layla is naturally not a good friend like Sheng Zhongguang and Su Yiqing, but Wu Qiao is also very afraid, even thinking about how to save Layla from the final execution.

"..."

"Who released her on earth?" Wu Qiao was a little puzzled.

"Actually, it doesn't matter." Ji Yao said suddenly.

"Huh?" Wu Qiao didn't understand.

Ji Yao continued, "The point is, Layla thought you let her go."

"What do you mean?" Wu Qiao glared at his friend. What is meant by "Layla thought you let her go"?

"It doesn't mean anything, that is, I think it's good." Ji Yao said calmly, "This way you will have one more way to go. It will be easy to join them in the future."

"..."

"Don't you want to go to the top?" Ji Yao said again, "Whether you can completely rely on the military, it is not easy to say now, and it is time to stay behind, in case that one is better. Let's go."

"Ji Yao..." Wu Qiao only felt his whole body numb, and felt that Ji Yao seemed to be suggesting something, "You put Leila?!"

"No, you misunderstood."

However, even though Ji Yao denied it, Wu Qiao felt that it was him!

Wu Qiao doesn’t know wine at all. In order to bring wine to Layla who loves wine, he asks Ji Yao to help him buy wine. Ji Yao thinks it’s easy to add medicine. Leila will have pseudo-jaundice after drinking. He thinks about it again. Ways to get her out. Ji Yao knew that he would never drink, so he could safely add ingredients to it.

Thinking about it, Layla's attitude seemed...have changed a bit after drinking.

At first, Layla thought he was sent by the military, but then she asked Wu Qiao what he planned to do in the future.

Probably, she tasted something wrong...Wu Qiao knew that many extremely acidic things would cause pseudojaundice.

Ji Yao doesn't even know Layla...

Wu Qiao felt that Ji Yao was really just for himself.

Ji Yao said more than once that he would help him realize his ideals because that was what Su Yiqing once wanted to do.

"I won't be a deserter." Wu Qiao said, looking at Ji Yao.

"It's always good to have a bit of a late move." Ji Yao still looks calm and calm, "Wu Qiao, I like your waywardness, but you can be more wayward."

"…what?"

"What you want, you must get it, no matter how long it takes, never give up halfway,'I want it, I want it', stubbornness or even paranoia, can be regarded as self-centered. What about people like you, or It will be very successful, or nothing will happen. How to put it, many successful people are people like you, although 99% of people like you have nothing."

"..."

"However, Su Yiqing is quite envious of you."

"...Huh?" Wu Qiao was at a loss again. He was demoted like this, and he said that people envy him?

Ji Yao said over there, “Yes, indeed, Su Yiqing’s popularity is very good. Everyone likes him. However, he is too considerate of others, always considers the other’s mood, and does not want the other party to feel unhappy, so he always lets To other people... he often joked that he is not suitable for business, and that Wu Qiao is the only one. He will go with Wu Qiao in the future."

"..."

"But... you want too many things, you should think about it, and then discard some of them. If you want to get to the top, you have to throw away those who are holding back."

"..."

I don't know if it was Wu Qiao's illusion, Ji Yao's eyes became a little different. He said: "You have to go to the top, I will help you complete it."

"..." In fact, Wu Qiao felt that he had changed a lot, as if the flood of fate was always pushing him forward.

In troubled times, everyone's life is closely related to the national destiny.

It's just that he really doesn't know how to be a deserter.

In his opinion, although the regular army has many problems, it is still the only way to restore peace. Ji Yao's remarks about the future are completely unreasonable.
