Everyone thought that things would be peaceful for a while, but before they even left the communications room, they received a call from the Russians.
"Comrade, the price you offered is too low; it's not enough for the weapons we need to drive away the other forces."
In exchange for 50 million tons of crude oil, we can only guarantee that we will not participate in the war.
Give us 100 million tons, and we will send troops to help you in times of war.
If they refuse, we will choose to cooperate with other forces to attack the Chinese base.
Bai Shuang: "Reply to them, whatever."
The correspondent did as instructed.
A war is bound to happen sooner or later, but not now. We'll probably have to wait until those other powers have recovered.
If the Russian family were to come over now, that would be even better; we could just wipe them out one by one.
The population was already small in the apocalypse, and humans are social animals. Wouldn't it be better to support each other and develop harmoniously? Why do they have to plunder?
It's one thing to bully the Babylonians because they are few, but if they dare to bully the Chinese, they will be made to suffer a humiliating defeat.
Bai Shuang said to Deputy Commander Zhu, "Prepare anti-aircraft missiles."
Such advanced weapons are currently limited in number and are used as little as possible in normal times.
"Since Commander Lu has entrusted the base to you, please have someone make preparations."
This person was clearly dissatisfied with Lu Yu handing the base over to Bai Shuang; it seems that Lu Yu's earnest advice last time had no effect on him.
"Why would I send someone to prepare this? What use are you?"
Since you're not happy with this position, let someone else do it.
No matter how capable someone is, they are unusable if they don't follow orders.
He was dissatisfied last time at the resettlement department, but that time it was a private question and everything was easy to talk about. But now he is expressing his dissatisfaction in public, once again testing Bai Shuang's bottom line.
If we let him go, what will become of the base commander's authority? How will he issue orders and manage his subordinates in the future?
Although Lu Yu usually manages the military headquarters and Bai Shuang doesn't have to worry about this, what if Lu Yu isn't here, and someone is unwilling to assist you?
She wanted to make an example of them, but they were mostly Lu Yu's subordinates. If no one dared to run into the line of fire, she wouldn't cause trouble for no reason.
"No, you have no right to interfere with my duties."
Bai Shuang's lips curled into a slight smile as she looked at him sarcastically. "Didn't you just say that I was in charge of the base? How come you don't have the authority anymore?"
"You're not a soldier, you don't understand military affairs."
Bai Shuang took out her honorary military ID and showed it to them. Honorary military personnel can exercise their military rights at any time.
They stared wide-eyed. "Base commander, why are you carrying these kinds of documents around? Shouldn't you keep them at home if you don't use them often?"
Do I have the right?
"Let me show you another one," Bai Shuang said, taking out her angel certificate.
"Not only do I have the right to dismiss you, I also have the right to kill you."
Bai Shuang thought her angel certificate would be hidden away forever, but she never expected to see it in public one day.
Now, she doesn't need to be afraid of anyone. So what if they know?
Everyone was even more surprised, except for Commander Wang from the Southwest and Commander Bian from the Northwest, who already knew about it.
So, she was the goddess of the base!
They had always thought the angel was Lu Yu, or one of Xiao Zhao's, but they never expected it to be Bai Shuang.
No wonder General Lu appointed Bai Shuang as the base commander.
To be honest, they had some reservations about appointing a woman as the base commander, even though the lady had made significant contributions to them.
But later, seeing the wife's abilities, they were convinced of her capabilities.
Deputy Chief Zhu: "Why didn't you reveal your identity earlier? Did you want to see me make a mistake?"
After calming down, he regretted it. How could he have acted so impulsively and argued with his wife? Now look what's happened...
Why don't other people make mistakes?
You've long held a grudge against me, blaming me for not handing over power to you when the leader left."
Bai Shuang looked at Xiao Zhao and said, "Keep an eye on him."
We'll deal with it when Yu returns. That way, he won't spread negative sentiments while he's in the military camp.
When Lu Yu left, he left behind a team of elite guards for Bai Shuang's exclusive use, which was led by Xiao Zhao.
"You can't do that. I just misspoke."
But he was still taken away, and no one spoke up for him.
If you sabotage the wife while the leader is away, he won't use you anymore when he returns.
We are comrades-in-arms, but also competitors; there are quite a few people eyeing his position.
Bai Shuang looked at the other high-ranking officers. Staff Officer Han (PS: former deputy commander of the southern base, and later the highest-ranking leader in the south) was capable and had a strong sense of collective responsibility.
However, he was originally from the south, had only been at the base for a short time, and had no connections in the military, making him unsuitable to be a deputy commander.
Another candidate is Commander Liu, who was just promoted last year and has always been Lu Yu's subordinate.
"The deputy commander's work will be temporarily handled by Commander Liu and Staff Officer Han."
The specific choice will be determined after Lu Yu returns.
After arranging these things, Bai Shuang led Bai Jiu and the others away.
The Chinese were prepared to fight, but the Russians ultimately did not come alone.
A week later, Zhang Xueer delivered the baby clothes they had made and a pair of little flower shoes.
Bai Shuang looked at it carefully and said, "Your mother's craftsmanship is really good. The stitches on the clothes are fine and dense, the size is just right, and the kitten shoes are especially beautiful."
"Sister Bai, my mom says these are tiger-head shoes."
Zhang Xueer said with a smile.
"Oh, tiger-head shoes, I misspoke, anyway, tigers and cats look a lot alike."
She also brought the remaining cloth and thread. Bai Shuang glanced at them and thought they were about right. They hadn't embezzled anything, which meant they were decent people.
"What will I offer you as compensation? Food, clothing, or points?"
"No need, sister. My mom made it in her spare time after get off work to help you."
