Uncle B of the pirate is invincible

Chapter 70 Meeting the Colonel
After hearing the colonel's words, Guy, who had been embarrassed for making a fool of himself, blushed instantly, not knowing what to do, and looked a little at a loss.

"Interesting, this little guy is quite shy." The colonel felt that Guy was very interesting, and wanted to play tricks on him again, so he pretended to be unhappy and said: "Facing the 'Blood Anchor' man alone How did Hank, a heroic navy who still maintains his fighting spirit, become like this in the face of me, an officer! Could it be that I am more terrifying than Hank?"

"Of course you are scarier than Hank, and you have a worse personality than him." Burt saw that the colonel was playing a prank, and complained about the colonel's mischievous humor in his heart, and opened his mouth to help Guy: "Colonel, this is the first time Guy has talked to you. A senior military officer like you is a little nervous face to face, please forgive me."

"You really protect my brother. Then I'm not afraid that you won't agree." Colonel Byrne saw that Burt was so anxious to defend Guy, and he felt more confident about his plan, and he no longer wanted to play tricks on Guy. He smiled and said, "Corporal Burt doesn't need to be so anxious to defend brother, I just saw you two are too nervous so I was joking. Well, now let's get down to business, I have two things to inform you today, so I will tell you I'm calling." At this point, he added, "Don't worry, it's a good thing."

"Huh." Burt heard Guy beside him exhale a long breath quietly, obviously seeing that the colonel didn't continue chasing him, and he was no longer so nervous, he felt happy in his heart, "What a simple brat."

The colonel seemed not to notice Guy's small movements, and he raised his right index finger and said to himself: "The first thing is that you two fought bravely and devoted yourself to your duties in this battle to annihilate the Bloodanchor Pirates. In order to prevent the pirates from entering the town of Logue, and killed many pirates including Hank, the performance was very good, so I decided to promote each level of your military rank. Corporal Burt was promoted to Sergeant of the Navy, Private First Class Guy promoted to Corporal of the Navy. I have signed the promotion order and will announce it tomorrow along with other promotions, congratulations!"

"Thank you, sir!" Guy immediately relaxed when he heard that he was going to be promoted to a non-commissioned officer, and he was the first to salute and thank the colonel excitedly.

"This little official fan." I complained in my heart that Guy forgot everything when he heard the promotion, and Bert also saluted and thanked him with a straight expression: "Thank you for your cultivation, sir."

"You don't need to thank me. It's your own performance that makes others have nothing to say. I won't promote my subordinates casually. The promotion from me must be based on real merit. This time, you did a good job. I just did what I had to do." The colonel waved his hand, signaling Burt and the others not to do so.

"I have heard people say that the most important quality of a first-rate leader is to be clear about rewards and punishments, and to know people well. Colonel, the principles you uphold are the proof that you are a first-rate leader." He took his politeness seriously, and hurriedly followed the colonel's words to praise the other party with the routine he used to do on Earth.

"Bert can really talk." With little stars in Guy's eyes, he looked at the serious and flattering Bert with admiration.

Colonel Byrne jokingly teased Burt: "Oh, so I'm still a first-rate leader. Hehehe, Sergeant Burt can really say something that makes people happy, which is more powerful than your fist. !"

Bert still has a thick skin in this regard, and his current appearance of Uncle B is not easy for people to see emotions, so he didn't care about Colonel Byrne's slightly mocking words, but continued to be serious Nonsense: "Language is the most powerful weapon in the world. It can turn black into white, and fake into real. Of course, fists can't be compared with it. However, the ability of speaking is still far behind. I can tell the truth without lying, so what I said to you just now is indeed from the bottom of my heart."

"Black becomes white, false becomes true." Colonel Byrne pondered over these two sentences that Burt said casually, and suddenly laughed, "Hey, if Sergeant Burt can say these two sentences, it shows your ability It's not young anymore. Sometimes I really wonder if you are really only 17 years old?"

"No, I said something I shouldn't have said again." Burt heard the deep meaning in Colonel Byrne's words, and immediately felt very annoyed that he really didn't know what to say.

In fact, Burt has been very careful not to say things that are inconsistent with his age and experience, but after all, he comes from the world of information explosion, and he has heard and seen too much.Speaking is naturally different from this world where information is relatively closed, so it is impossible to completely avoid the occasional words that he thinks are ordinary but others think are great.

And Burt is also experienced in dealing with this kind of situation. For Guy, who speaks more casually, he directly changes the topic, and for Colonel, who speaks more restrained, he just keeps silent. Follow up.

Colonel Byrne didn't know if he could see Bert's mind, he didn't go into this topic, but continued the business he said just now, he raised his index finger and middle finger to the two of Bert and said: "Second thing, This year, it’s time to send outstanding naval officers and soldiers to the Great Route for advanced training. I have already recommended you two to participate. At the end of this month, the outstanding officers and soldiers from the entire East China Sea will gather here, and take the warships of the headquarters to Marin Vanduo through the windless journey. Although this training is a short-term training of only 12 months, it will take about two years including the round trip, so I will inform you in advance now, just to let you prepare and arrange your home affairs. I spent time on the ship." Speaking of this, the colonel paused, and then emphasized: "I know that your family's situation is special. But you should also know that since the Naval Science Department developed the technology to allow warships to safely pass through the windless zone It is an unwritten rule that if you want to be promoted to a general, you must go to the Navy Headquarters for further studies. There may be exceptions for school officers in remote branches, but branch commanders and general officers will never make exceptions. So this opportunity is very important. It’s rare, I hope you cherish it.”

"Going to the great route at the end of the month? Is the problem I still worry about today solved?" Bert was very surprised when he heard the colonel's words.He has already made up his mind to go to the great route with Guy, so he agrees with the Colonel's decision with both hands.It's just that he didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon, and not only he, but also the question of how Guy, who had been worried, would be resolved by the colonel before he had a chance to save face with the colonel.

But Guy didn't have Burt's complicated thoughts. When he heard that he could go to the great route and the Navy Headquarters he had dreamed of, he was so happy that he fainted in an instant, immersed in "Isn't this a dream?"If it's a dream don't wake up. 'In the mood, the whole person is dizzy.

Colonel Byrne felt Bert's surprise and Guy's excitement in his [knowledgeable color], the corner of his mouth showed a slight arc, and he thought proudly in his heart: "Your brother is so happy, he must go. You are so happy. I care about him, it’s impossible to keep here by myself. Hahahaha, no matter how old you are, how powerful you are, but in the end, you are a brat that I have figured out. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have ambitions, you can’t help yourself when you reach the great route, no Man can resist the torrent of the times!"

"Little devil, be obedient." The colonel thought of his pride, and smiled meaningfully at Burt.

"What a surprise, my luck today will not be EX. I wanted to owe the Colonel a personal favor, but now I don't need it. Colonel Byrne is really a good person. He not only promoted us, but also let us go to the great route together. Well, I wish him a safe life." Burt couldn't help but sigh that today is his lucky day, and smiled and cast a look at Colonel Byrne that you are such a good person.

"Why does Burt and the colonel look a little weird? Forget it, I'm so happy today, everything else is fine." Guy felt very uncoordinated when he saw the colonel and Burt smiling at each other.But now his mind is full of the excitement of being promoted to realize his dream, so he doesn't care about it in a blink of an eye.

Just when the three people who were very happy for different reasons were giggling at each other, there was a knock on the door, followed by Second Lieutenant Mill's voice, "Colonel, I have work to report, is it convenient for you now?"

The second lieutenant's report made Colonel Byrne wake up from the elation of calculating Bert's success, and also made Bert and Guy look serious, subconsciously straightened their bodies and waited for the colonel's order.

"Second Lieutenant, come in." After Colonel Byrne called Second Lieutenant Mill in, he said regretfully to the two of Burt: "I wanted to talk about something else, but it's a pity that work is coming again. Sergeant Burt, Guy Corporal, make good preparations for going to Marlin Vandor, stop here today, and continue your vacation."

"Yes, sir. We will definitely make serious preparations for the great route. Thank you again for your consideration!" Burt replied respectfully to Colonel Byrne.

"Sir, we will definitely live up to your expectations, and we will win glory for the branch in the headquarters." Guy was no longer nervous after this period of time.

"Well, I look forward to your performance, let's go down." The colonel nodded and said in satisfaction.

"Sir, we are taking our leave." Bert and Guy saluted the colonel again, then turned and left.

"Strange, did that kid just agree?" Looking at Bert's back, the colonel suddenly realized that Bert agreed to go to the great route very readily without any hesitation.

"Second Lieutenant." Bert and Guy, who were about to go out, saluted Second Lieutenant Mill who opened the door.

Second Lieutenant Mill smiled back and congratulated them: "Sergeant Burt, Corporal Guy, congratulations on your promotion."

"Don't dare to take it." Burt and Guy also smiled kindly at the second lieutenant, and left without saying anything more.

The second lieutenant waited for Bert and Guy to close the door, then walked to the colonel and reported: "Colonel, Carter T. Vinson still hasn't been found."

The second lieutenant's report interrupted his doubts about Bert's straightforward attitude. The colonel said indifferently: "Oh, I searched the whole town for three days and still haven't found it. What a cunning fox."
