Just then, Qian Aihong came over carrying a plate of large steamed buns. As soon as she entered the room and saw the young couple embracing there, she screamed.
"Oh dear, I'm sorry. I've come at the wrong time."
Song Ning quickly separated from Huo Beian, and the two straightened their clothes, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
Song Ning noticed that Huo Beian's ears were red.
It has to be said that her husband is still a shy virgin.
"Sister Hong, I'm sorry you had to see this."
"Oh dear, it's understandable that you two are so enthusiastic since you just met. I was even more energetic than you two on my first day here with my husband. Hehe."
After saying that, Qian Aihong placed the plate of large steamed buns on the table. "Try my chive and egg steamed buns, they're still warm. I won't bother you any longer, I'll be going now. Eat them while they're hot."
After saying that, Qian Aihong immediately ran away laughing.
Song Ning pursed her lips, looking somewhat shy.
"You were just being a pervert!"
"Honey, we're a legally married couple. It's not too much to kiss your own wife, is it?"
Huo Beian was also a little shy at this moment. He felt a little unsatisfied that the sweet moment had been interrupted by Sister Qian.
"Hmph! What wife? We'll get divorced sooner or later anyway. You're taking advantage of her." Song Ning was displeased.
"Hehe... I'll take advantage of your vulnerability. As long as we're not divorced, you're my wife."
"snort."
Just then, a soldier came over and said to Huo Beian, "Battalion Commander, Richard is settled in. Shall we go to the warehouse now?"
"good."
After saying that, he said to Song Ning, "We're taking Richard to the warehouse to repair the tank now. Honey, do you want to come along?"
Song Ning thought for a moment and then nodded.
"But this is a military stronghold, and in principle, unauthorized personnel should not enter. I'll go and greet Deputy Regiment Commander Qian first."
Huo Beian went to Deputy Commander Qian's office and recounted the events surrounding the welcoming of Richard.
"You mean there might be a problem with that translator, Owen?"
"Yes. But we don't have anyone here who speaks English. However, my wife speaks English, and I'd like to submit a request so that she can come along and take a look."
Commander Qian thought about it for a moment and realized that if there were problems with the translation, it would indeed be very troublesome.
Having someone who speaks English is definitely a safer option.
"This... can you guarantee your wife will keep this a secret?"
"I promise."
Seeing that Huo Beian had made a pledge, Deputy Regiment Commander Qian finally approved it.
"However, when Song Ning goes, she should disguise herself so that no one can recognize her. In particular, she shouldn't let Owen recognize her."
"good."
So, Huo Beian found a set of female soldiers' clothes for Song Ning to wear, and they went to the warehouse together.
They entered the warehouse.
Song Ning looked around and exclaimed, "Wow, they're all tanks!"
However, the tanks of that era were still relatively rudimentary compared to those of the 21st century.
But seeing it with her own eyes still made her very excited, though she didn't dare to look around too obviously.
Huo Beian led the way and arrived in front of the problematic tank.
He skillfully climbed in, started the tank, and a dull rumble emanated from the engine compartment, like rusty gears gnawing at metal, while the exhaust pipe spewed out unusual black smoke. Upon acceleration, the tracks only trembled slightly before coming to a complete stop, while the left track continued to drag slowly, causing the vehicle to veer to the right.
Soon, Huo Beian shut down the tank and came out. "Mr. Richard, you see the tank won't start. Would you like to come inside with me and take a look?"
Irving translated for Richard in English.
Richard also went inside and looked at the tank's internal structure and the wiring.
After emerging, Richard, looking grave, explained in English, "This line is a bit old and has some mechanical problems. The planetary gear set in the right final drive housing has seized up due to lack of lubrication or metal fatigue, preventing power from being transmitted to the drive wheel. The hydraulic circuit of the idler wheel tensioning device is leaking, causing excessive slack in the right track."
Irving, who was standing nearby, began to translate.
Richard then inspected several other problematic tanks and provided repair solutions.
Huo Beian then asked, "Approximately how long will it take to fix?"
Richard's proposed repair plan was that it could be fixed in fourteen days.
As a result, Irving translated, "Mr. Richard said it would take at least forty days to fix it."
Upon hearing this, Song Ning frowned immediately. Richard had clearly said fourteen days, so why did Owen translate it as forty days?
Even a professional translator would not mispronounce "fourteen" and "forty," as their pronunciations are different.
Could it be that there's really something wrong with Kyrie Irving?
Was the time deliberately mistranslated so that he could stay in the military? To gather military secrets?
Moreover, although she doesn't understand mechanics, she can tell from the translation that something that could be fixed by simply replacing the tracks and changing some oil is being made so complicated.
I'm afraid Richard isn't being honest and might be holding back.
"Alright. Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Richard, to help with the repairs. It would also be good for our repair staff to learn from you."
After saying that, Huo Beian brought over several maintenance technicians from the military unit, so that Richard could teach them how to use the equipment.
While they were doing repairs...
Song Ning quietly called Huo Beian out and voiced her doubts.
“There was definitely a problem with that translation. Richard said the repair would take 14 days, but his translation said 40 days.”
Upon hearing this, Huo Beian's brows furrowed into a knot.
It seems we need to send someone to keep an eye on that translator.
