The senior officials of Weilan didn't say a single word more. The swearing-in ceremony went through the follow-up fixed procedures according to the process, and then it was announced that it was over. It ended faster than everyone imagined.
Perhaps, Azure officials also want to leave a little more time to say goodbye to the expedition soldiers, to say goodbye to their families and friends, to Blue Star, and to humans for the time being.
They were about to leave. This expedition was really far, so far that they wanted to leave Blue Star completely.
Because usually people say "leave this world", which is not an auspicious way to say it, so today, everyone deliberately avoids this short sentence.
The Chinese Asian people's psychological obsession with the matter of "auspiciousness" was due to a young Chinese Asian researcher who vowed that he would definitely find Pegmont when 066 went out. In the end, the No. 066 space exploration vehicle really succeeded in finding it. After Pegmont, it began to become more and more popular all over the world.
It was three o'clock in the afternoon, four minutes to go, and the dead iron knife stuck on the ground of Constitution Square flew away with a gentle roar...
The veterans' body postures relaxed.
The crowd watching the farewell began to applaud, shout and talk casually.
In people's common subconscious, it seems that this is the real sign of the end of the ceremony.
…………
The situation after the swearing-in ceremony ended was almost completely disorderly.
All the soldiers left on their own, and there was still plenty of time. They even had time to go to a hotel, a restaurant, or go shopping with their wives and children.
This is the first time in the history of the Blue Alliance that there is almost no restraint.
because……
"It doesn't matter, anyway, each of them knows where the assembly point is, and every street here has guidance points set up by us. Also, don't forget that each of them is an experienced veteran of the army."
In the chaotic square after the ceremony, Speaker Kemore stood by the high platform and patiently explained to a familiar official reporter.
In fact, during the internal discussion among the core high-level officials before the ceremony, Speaker Kemore had another, more truthful statement about the "end arrangements":
“If someone regrets it at the last moment, decides not to go, decides to leave... we will use this method so that they can leave silently.
"This is not their obligation in the first place. They have done enough for this world in their past lives."
To this end, Weilan has specially prepared a waiting list to avoid insufficient number of participants in the final expedition.
…………
At the scene, Han Qingyu and his party walked past Speaker Kemore and prepared to leave.
Because of their appearance, the official reporter who was talking to the Speaker below the high platform immediately turned his head. All the reporters who were standing near the high platform like him turned around, and then swarmed in carrying equipment.
Whether they were reporters from the official Weilan or private media, they all crowded together, competed for their voices, and asked their questions loudly.
Wei Lan did not arrange a formal interview session after the ceremony, so if they wanted to get something from Major Qing and Xixi Fengrui's core team, they had no choice but to do this.
"Major Qing, have you fully recovered from your injuries?"
"Have you become stronger than before?"
"Second Lieutenant Wen, we heard that Major Qing did not agree with your participation in this expedition. Is this true?"
"If so, why did you end up on the list?"
"Do you have enough understanding and confidence about the dangerous situation that you may encounter on the Mars battlefield, such as complete failure of source energy perception?"
"What do you think about taking on the role of deputy commander-in-chief of the expedition? Will you or Admiral Yergena lead the battlefield on Mars?"
"Are you sure you can come back? Right?"
"Lieutenant Wu Shi, Lieutenant Wu Shi...forget it."
What's the problem with this? Wen Jifei kept a smile on his face, stopped and waved his hands, but did not answer any of the questions.
As for Han Qingyu and Wu Shi, they didn't even look at the reporters and continued to walk forward.
Among the few people, only Liaison Officer Yang Tieyu was not asked much by reporters. Of course, even if she was asked, she would not answer them. She knew that Qingzi had always been annoyed by these things, especially those who always liked to write random things. The original social media for random guessing.
"But why is Ashley staring at me like this? It's like seeing an enemy."
Of course, Sister Xi still remembers Ashley. In the past, they could actually be considered friends, but now Ashley doesn't recognize her.
At this time, Ashelia was standing behind the group of reporters and did not come up to ask questions. She just stared at her from a distance with red eyes and gritted teeth.
Ivan was holding the camera and smiling happily while working seriously. Seeing Xi Mei's gaze, he smiled brightly and kindly, put aside the camera, and nodded to the blue liaison officer Yang.
"Hey, why is Ivan so happy for no reason?"
"He recognized me?! Impossible."
"...Forget it, Tangtang said they will participate in the expedition anyway, let's talk about it later."
After Xi Mei thought about it, she waved her hand to Ashley from a distance, then turned around to chase Han Qingyu and Wu Shi.
"Major General He Tangtang." "The great kidney shooter." "The top-eating demon." "The god who hunts the flames and decay." "..." The reporters suddenly shouted crazily.
Of course they would not just give up asking questions about Major Qing and Second Lieutenant Wen Jifei. Someone was chasing them all the way. But for the time being, some of them took the initiative to transfer their hopes to He Tangtang, who they thought was the only one with a better chance.
As expected, Major General He Tangtang stopped. His expression was gentle and friendly, and he felt that he should be able to speak easily.
Reporters were ecstatic.
"Major General He Tangtang, why do you wear a hat... a helmet? Is that knight-style helmet made of dead iron?" In the joy, a reporter with a quick mouth asked the question first, or because he was anxious, he asked something obvious. Unimportant question.
The other reporters on the side were a little depressed, but they had no choice but to wait patiently for He Tangtang to finish answering this question before asking questions.
What they didn't notice was that Major General He Tangtang's expression fell instantly.
"What's wrong with me wearing a helmet... Do you know the battlefield statistics, how many soldiers died due to heavy blows to the head?"
"Can't I wear it?!"
"Do you care?!"
Major General He Tangtang asked three questions in succession.
But... But Wei Lan clearly explained that the helmet could not prevent the damage caused by the large-pointed source attack. It said that it was the kind of force impact on the head, and it made little difference whether he had a helmet or not.
Some reporters are still wondering.
Others have discovered that something is wrong with Major General He Tangtang. With sudden anger, he asked those three questions, turned around and left.
"Damn it, it's really hard to lift the pot." Major General He Tangtang thought depressedly as he walked away. He is stronger now, but his hair...
At this time, Han Qingyu, Wu Shi, Wen Jifei and Xi Mei were all about to walk out of the square.
There were still hundreds of reporters chasing them asking questions. Perhaps mentally or subconsciously, they felt that as long as they were still in the square, asking questions would not be considered an interruption.
"Excuse me……"
"Excuse me……"
Another basket of problems fell into the background, and then another basket of problems continued to hit them.
"Excuse me, Second Lieutenant Wen, um... Second Lieutenant Wen, can you tell us your views on this Mars expedition?"
A general and vague question that couldn't be more ordinary.
The reporter who asked the question tried his best to shout loudly, but he paused and thought for a moment. Lieutenant Wen probably didn't even hear him clearly.
An unexpected scene appeared... Lieutenant Wen's footsteps stopped.
The three people in front, Han Qingyu and Han Qingyu, seemed a little confused and stopped and turned back to look at him.
Then, Second Lieutenant Wen Jifei turned around and faced the group of reporters.
"Second Lieutenant Wen..." After finally seizing the opportunity, reporters frantically stepped forward and asked questions.
"Etc., etc."
Wen Jifei had to use gestures, plus serious expressions and eyes to make them quiet down first, and then slowly smiled at the corners of his mouth and eyes...
Tilting his head, he finally found a certain figure among the reporters.
"Hello." Second Lieutenant Wen Jifei raised his hand to say hello.
In the direction of his sight, on that straight line, reporters from various countries who realized that it was not him, hesitantly stepped aside to make way for a passage... until the figure of a young female reporter with an oriental face appeared completely.
"Well, hello." Looking at each other, the young Chinese-Asian female reporter seemed nervous and flustered for a moment, and then answered very formally.
"Did you ask the question just now? I'm sorry I didn't see you at first... I mean, I didn't seem to hear it completely. Can you repeat the question?"
While Wen Jifei was speaking, other reporters who rushed frantically from afar also arrived. When we arrived, we were reminded to be quiet and not to crowd, so we all stood there and watched.
As for the three Major Qings not far away, they did not come over after joining He Tangtang. But standing over there, talking quietly while watching, they seemed to be very interested in this scene.
"Um...Okay." The female reporter seemed to be trying hard to remember, then remembered what she had just asked, and said nervously: "I miss you..."
"Really?" Wen Jifei asked with a smile.
Upon seeing this, the female reporter quickly straightened her face, her expression and eyes became serious, and she said very professionally: "I would like to ask Second Lieutenant Wen Jifei to share his views on this Mars expedition."
This is really...a bad question at all! When the opportunity is so rare, the question is too general and too easy to avoid! The reporters thought gloomily, but still raised their equipment and prepared to record.
Because Second Lieutenant Wen's condition seemed to be that he was ready to answer seriously.
"About this expedition to Mars..." He really answered seriously. He paused for a moment and seemed to be thinking carefully before continuing: "About this expedition, I don't seem to have anything to talk about."
Reporters: "..."
Second Lieutenant Wen, is he deliberately playing tricks on others when he is angry?
The Chinese-Asian female reporter: "..."
She seemed to have a sudden headache. She raised her hand to rub her forehead, her expression looking depressed and helpless.
"Sorry, right now, I really don't want to talk to you about anything but love." Second Lieutenant Wen Jifei extended his right hand forward while speaking.
"Is it okay to fall in love?
"We have about four hours left, so we can go shopping, go on dates, and eat."
"I could also have the playground open and the cinema prepare a movie for us, along with popcorn and Coke."
After Lieutenant Wen finished speaking, he stood there waiting like a young man who had just confessed his love.
Partner Lin Ya silently took away Yao Yue's microphone and recording equipment from her hands. At the same time, she bumped her butt to remind her to come to her senses quickly.
Finally, "Okay."
Yao Yue said with a smile, then ran over quickly and held the hand.
Ren held her hand and led her to run away from the square and the reporters who were completely stunned.
