Just as the handover officer said through the physical line, through the glass of the air-tight lock, Wang Ping'an saw that there were indeed a lot of people waiting on the pier outside.
Among the crowd, Wang Ping'an immediately spotted Su Jianying's face that smelled like canned herring stewed with marinated puffins.
Wang Ping'an poked Angele: "Look over there, that's Colonel Su Jianying Su, commonly known as the 'old lady'. She always finds trouble with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the airlock opened with a click, and then the head of the military police leading the team came up first and saluted Wang Ping'an: "Lieutenant, let's take over the stowaways Lu Aolei and Lu Fengxian."
After all, the two children were smuggled across the border and must be handed over to the military police for procedures.
Lu Aolei looked at the military policeman's blue hat with fear. Wang Pingan patted her shoulder: "The military policeman I know is actually quite nice. Those rumors are a bit exaggerated."
The head of the military police said seriously: "I'm not exaggerating, I'm just treating what we do to the enemy as what we do to everyone."
Hey, I'm wronging you by exaggerating, right?
Since everyone had said so, Wang Ping'an could only seriously correct it: "Okay, I'm not exaggerating, they are brutal and terrifying military police."
Lu Aolei obviously took a step back.
Angeli comforted her: "Don't worry, no matter who it is, they won't do anything bad to a cute little girl like you."
Military Police: "Actually, she committed the crime of smuggling and should be sent to a juvenile reformatory."
Lu Aolei was even more scared.
Wang Ping'an could only say to his children: "Don't be afraid, be brave, and bear the consequences of your actions. Only in this way can you be a qualified successor, right?"
Lu Aolei swallowed, then looked at the military policeman with a very determined expression and said, "Uncle, I understand, I'm not afraid, I'll go with you."
The serious military policeman smiled slightly, but immediately stiffened: "Come on then. Because of your age, we won't handcuff you, but we will lock your spacesuit. Don't try to escape."
"Um."
At this time, the military police who entered the cabin first had already put Lu Fengxian's body into a special incubator. The group turned around and boarded a small vehicle used for internal movement of the space station.
When the vehicle drove away, Lu Aolei looked back at Wang Ping'an and waved gently.
After seeing off the military police, Wang Ping'an looked at the group of detachment officers led by Su Jianying with a grimace.
Wang Ping'an saluted and reported energetically: "Reporting to the detachment leader, the PQ51 crew has successfully completed the flight from Earth to Mars. Please give me your instructions."
Su Jianying returned the gift, and then said coldly: "The voyage was completed successfully? You threw away so much cargo, and you still call it smooth? This is a serious dereliction of duty on your part! It took fifteen weeks for you to discover that there were two children in the warehouse.
Then during the disposal process, a major safety accident occurred, resulting in the death of civilians on the ship!
"Don't think about flying any more flights, prepare to go to the logistics warehouse! You will have to deal with countless reports for the rest of your life. That is the best for you. It can hone your terrible character!"
Wang Ping'an responded unceremoniously: "If you look carefully at the flight log, you will find that my daily routine inspections are very careful, but there is a problem with the dynamic induction of the cargo warehouse. This is the fault of the L2 maintenance team, not mine.
"
"You've learned how to take the blame!"
"This is not to blame, but to state the facts. In addition, I have requested to postpone the launch window and add enough water before departure. If we carry a standard amount of redundant water, which is five hundred tons, we do not need to throw any at all.
goods.
"My application should be recorded in the black box of the spacecraft and the communication log of the L2 tower."
Su Jianying: "So you still plan to pass the blame to the tower?"
"I was the leader on duty at the tower at the time. I think my handling of the emergency this time has been as perfect as possible without any fault. If you want to use this to punish me and transfer me to the warehouse, I
I will file a complaint with the Soldiers Commission against you for retaliating through your position."
Su Jianying said angrily: "Why am I taking revenge? Okay, I still have a holiday with you, right?"
Wang Ping'an: "Should we leave it to the psychologists to judge? I guess they and the supercomputer will give a fair evaluation."
When Wang Pingan said this, Angele frowned and watched the whole process. She obviously had a new understanding of why Wang Pingan had not been promoted for so many years.
Colonel Su Jianying took a few deep breaths, and then said in a much calmer tone: "Wang Ping An, Wang Ping An, Wang Hua Hai, your understanding of military regulations and the setup of various institutions is simply master-level. You always know how to get rid of responsibilities."
!”
Wang Ping'an: "Isn't it necessary to be familiar with military regulations? I am a soldier in the Space Force, and one of my bounden duties is to remember military regulations and act in accordance with them."
Su Jianying: "Okay, okay! Then we'll see how the superiors and supercomputers evaluate it. I'll write a report and transfer you to the warehouse! You'd better write a detailed enough report before the computer approves it.
When you were transferred to the warehouse, you still had a bunch of excuses!"
Wang Ping'an nodded: "I will write it. Not only will I write a detailed report, but I will also write a complaint and transfer the leader on duty at the tower who asked us to launch to manage the warehouse. Otherwise, he will harm others in that position."
Su Jianying was so angry that the corners of her mouth were trembling: "You write, you can write. This is your right. You must have studied the military regulations. Your thorns are the discord in the Space Force!"
At this time, the instructor floated up and said to Wang Ping'an: "Actually, we have all read the preliminary investigation results provided by Sun and Earth L2. Your responsibility is actually only for not discovering the two children hiding in the warehouse for a long time.
"However, the routine maintenance of the robots and drones on the spacecraft found no abnormalities. It is not a big problem if you didn't find it. After all, this trip transported a lot of living animals, and there was an accident when it set off, resulting in many containers
The seal is broken and there are many hiding places, which is understandable.
"In the final analysis, it was you who took advantage of too many loopholes and acted too outrageously that made Colonel Su so angry. You should reflect on your own problems!"
Su Jianying: "If he can reflect, the sun will rise from the west!"
Wang Ping'an was arrogant as always: "Instructor, what you just said can be understood as your admission that Colonel Su has brought his personal prejudice against me into his work?"
"You guy!" the instructor said with an angry and funny expression, "If we psychology majors weren't so easy to talk to, I would have agreed with Colonel Su and sent you to manage the warehouse!"
Wang Ping'an: "So you don't agree this time?"
"I don't agree. I just said that your fault is only that you did not find the smuggled children for a long time. On this point, it is okay to sentence you to negligence. This is how I will write my handling suggestions. I will discuss it with Colonel Su's opinion at that time.
Submit to superiors respectively."
Wang Ping'an: "But because of this oversight, my promotion at the end of the year was ruined."
"Then you deserve it. Who made you neglect it?"
Colonel Su snorted: "Do you still want to be promoted? I heard that you also applied to participate in the Centaur Project? Don't even think about it. If I hear that you have been selected for this project, I will use all my influence to get you to be selected.
Kick him out."
Wang Ping'an did not talk nonsense this time, but looked at the colonel with hostile eyes.
The colonel smiled: "Huh, mentioning this has touched your sore point, hasn't it? Okay, from now on I will add a sentence in my annual evaluation to you, 'It is especially not recommended to join projects such as the Centaur Project'."
The instructor comforted Wang Pingan at the side: "This plan actually has no influence on our level. The candidates are all decided by the top generals of the Space Force and the supercomputer. You don't have to worry too much. You will still get in. Lao Su
Talking angrily."
At this time, Colonel Su suddenly remembered Angeli who had been silent next to him, and turned to look at her: "This is the partner assigned to you by the super computer? When I knew you won the Silver Star, I said why the super computer is so reliable
Spectrum, looking at it now, hum."
Angele saluted: "Second Lieutenant Angele de Leon, serves as the extravehicular operator for Commander Wang Ping'an."
Colonel Su stared at Angeli for several seconds before changing into a loving mother's tone to comfort her disobedient daughter: "This Wang Ping'an is a famous heartthrob in our team. His unruly style fools little girls.
It works, and then he can play guitar.
"But in essence, he is an unreliable and frivolous man. A real good man will not be so glib, so good at shirk responsibilities and take advantage of loopholes. A real good man is like a silent rock, shouldering everything silently
!”
Wang Ping'an: "You are biased. I never shirk the responsibilities I have to bear."
Angele: "I know, you don't need to emphasize it."
Su Jianying looked at Angeli with an expression that seemed to say, "Another little girl who has been deceived."
Angele also turned to her and continued: "I have studied psychology, and after thirty-three weeks of living together, I think I already know Lieutenant Wang Ping'an very well. I don't think he will evade responsibility, he just relies too much on his own
He's smart and can do great things. But when the critical moment comes, he will prove that he is a trustworthy Space Force soldier.
"I've seen it, and he got a Silver Star for it.
"Actually, he is just not suitable to be a soldier or a cog in a well-organized machine. As his boss, your duty is to put him in the right place and make him a good piece of steel.
Use it on the edge of the blade instead of trying to smooth out its edges and make it a suitable gear."
Wang Ping'an took advantage of the opportunity and interrupted: "Yes, yes, it's best to assign me to an independent unit. This unit does not have to stick to the rules, only pursues efficiency, and has independent decision-making power. I have already thought of the name of the unit, called Ronde Bell.
The sign is..."
Angeli and the instructor glared at Wang Ping'an and told him to shut up.
Su Jianying was silent and looked at Angeli carefully. After a few seconds, she said: "I finally understand why you were assigned to a supercomputer. But your opinion is similar to that of the instructor. But the problem is that the Space Force is a precision machine."
Machines with non-compliant gears like him will have trouble sooner or later.
"According to your opinion, he should go to those mercenary companies to work for large private companies such as Maga and do dirty work. I think he should be very handy in this field!"
Just as Wang Ping'an was about to speak, the instructor waved his hand: "Okay, Lao Su, don't be angry. Just deal with it how you want. The comrades from the psychology department over there are still waiting."
Su Jianying had a stinky face, said "remember to write a report" and led the team away.
All astronauts must undergo psychological testing after completing long-distance voyages. This is also one of the rules of the Space Force based on many bloody lessons.
Wang Pingan glanced at the white uniforms of the psychology department and took a long breath.
Angele: "Don't worry, I think you won't have any big problems this time."
