Smoker strangely followed her gaze and looked at the tulip bushes all over the mountains and plains... The next moment, his eyes suddenly widened, and the cigar he had just taken two puffs fell to the ground with a snap.

In the flower field.

An all-too-familiar white figure was smiling and waving to them.

…

"Why are you here?"

A few minutes later, the two groups of people came together and continued towards Windmill Village.

The sailors following behind could not hide their excitement. They could not help but look at the extraordinarily tall figure in front of them with admiration, while lowering their voices and whispering.

While Nuo Xia was comforting Tina who was crying in her arms, she glanced down at Smoker beside her who was asking questions like a curious baby, and shrugged:

"I've been to the North Sea, the West Sea, and the South China Sea. I've been in the East China Sea these days, but you guys, why did you come to Windmill Village too?"

"Well, it's a long story..."

Smoker scratched his head, and under Noxia's gaze, he quickly explained from the beginning.

turn out to be.

A month ago, he applied for the graduation assessment one year in advance, successfully graduated from the elite camp with excellent results, and was assigned to the Donghailuoge Town where he stayed before, as the deputy base commander of a lieutenant colonel.

Tina, who was one year above him, had never applied for the assessment in advance, so she graduated normally this year, won the first place in her class, was directly awarded the rank of colonel, and became Smoker's immediate boss.

The two of them were on the same road, so they simply set off together, boarded the same warship, and headed to Rogge Town to take up their posts.

"One is a colonel and the other is a lieutenant colonel."

Nuo Xia clicked her tongue twice, smiled and patted Smoker on the shoulder, "I just graduated and became the base director, so that's pretty good."

Rogge Town is the largest naval base in the East China Sea. It also supervises more than ten small branches around it. The number of people is far beyond that of ordinary branches, and the military rank is roughly the same as that of the headquarters.

To be able to take on the role of commander of such a base right after graduation is enough to prove that the headquarters is optimistic about the two of them.

Tina aside, Smoker also has a bright future, at least much better than in his original timeline, when he was in his thirties, unshaven, and was demoted from his headquarters to hang out in Rogge Town.

"No way, it's far worse than you were back then..."

After being praised by his idol, Smoker's mouth was humble, and his heart was already flying to the clouds with joy. The look of the young man with red cheeks and scratching his head made the sailors behind him stunned.

——Is this still the ruthless lieutenant colonel they are familiar with who kills pirates with a cigar in his mouth without blinking an eye?

Come on, did the character design collapse just a few days after it was put up?

Smoker also noticed the strange expressions on his subordinates' faces and curled his lips, but he didn't care. Who could stand still when he was praised by Mr. Bailong in person?

Speaking of which...

He secretly glanced at Nuo Xia's side face and felt a little regretful in his heart. Originally, he had thought that as soon as he graduated, he could straighten his chest and proudly become a member of the Thunder Eagle.

As a result, Mr. Bailong resigned and left the Navy two and a half years ago and has not returned yet.

As a result, I don’t know how many people in this department miss me more and more. Otherwise, how could Sister Tina, who usually looks like an iceberg beauty, lose her composure and cry like this...

It's a pity that the mouse guy didn't have the luck to meet Mr. Bailong in the East China Sea like he did.

That idiot... Smoker couldn't help but hold his head when he thought about it. He applied for graduation in advance. As a good brother, Mouse immediately followed suit without saying a word.

He, who was always ranked in the middle or lower in his class, competed with his senior brothers and sisters who were one level above him. As you can imagine, the result was that he was completely crushed in the graduation examination and succeeded in being the last one.

The attitude of graduating early was rejected, and in the end I could only look at him sadly and wave goodbye, knowing that I would have to continue to stay in the elite camp for another year.

Smoker was thinking a lot here, while Nuo Xia rubbed Tina's face angrily:

"Okay, I've been crying for a few minutes. It's almost enough. You are now a colonel and base commander. What do you think you are saying when you cry like a little cat in front of so many people?"

"Who, who made you suddenly appear in a place like this... Wuwu..."

Tina raised her head with tears in her eyes, still sobbing, "Tina doesn't know if it's a surprise or a fright... It's been two and a half years, woo... Brother Nuo Xia, you haven't returned to the headquarters for two and a half years.

I’ve seen Tina, Gion-san and the others..."

"Ah, then they probably lied to you."

Nuo Xia shrugged innocently, "I haven't been back to the headquarters for a long time, but I have met Gion and the others many times outside."

What?

Tina was stunned, and looked at Nuo Xia blankly for two seconds.

Then I cried even more sadly.

"Woo...it turns out I'm the only one..."

have to.

It seems that I won't be able to persuade him for a while.
