Chapter 285 Meeting with Sergeant Cathy
Jiang Ping went straight back to his office in the command building and sat down. Although Betty didn't know what was wrong with the other party, he followed him in and stood aside.
Jiang Ping glanced at her and ordered: "Betty, I need a detailed information about the MX112 planet, including various planet data, geographical topography, geological deposits, development and evolution, etc. The more detailed the better, the better. If there are related research articles, it is better."
Betty thought that the other party asked her to come and there was something important, but after hearing him say it, she relaxed. This was just a small matter, and this kind of thing that did not involve a struggle for power, even if she was stuck between the other party and Temuer, she was naturally happy to serve.
She agreed immediately and was about to turn around and go out to handle the matter that Jiang Ping told him.
Jiang Ping stopped her at this time and said, "By the way, too, go and call Sergeant Cathy for me, and say I have something to talk to her."
Looking for Cathy?
A strange look flashed across Betty's face, but she didn't say anything. She responded and saw that the other party had no more instructions, so she went out and left.
When Betty came here, Cathy and two other assistants were busy in front of some huge star measurement instruments, doing the routine measurement and recording of the void and star bodies that day.
"Sergeant Cathy, be busy!" Betty walked up and greeted the other party with a smile.
Cathy was fiddling with a star measuring instrument when he heard Betty's voice, raised his head, saw Betty smile, and said, "Betty, early, is there anything wrong?"
She knew that if there was no problem, the other party would not have come to find her at this time.
Betty said straight to the point: "Cathy, Lieutenant Jiang is looking for you, please go to his place!"
"Person Jiang is looking for me?" Cathy looked puzzled and looked at Betty and asked, "Betty, do you know why Lieutenant Jiang is looking for me?"
Betty shook his head and said, "Emperor Jiang didn't say anything."
As he said that, he added, "It should be nothing big. Second Lieutenant Jiang has just returned from patrol outside."
Cathy said with a few sarcastic traces of sarcasm: "I heard that the lieutenant has been there for several days."
Jiang Ping's "missing" these days has been discussed at the base from time to time. In the hearts of the base soldiers, there is another comment on the new commander, that is, he is idle and not doing his job properly.
Betty did not take over the other party's fault. After all, she was not good at talking and giving advice to her immediate boss.
After pausing, Cathy said again: "Okay, Betty, I'll go later, just report to Lieutenant Jiang."
After Jiang Ping took office, she had never taken the initiative to report on her job. She felt that this was not good, so she took this opportunity to make up for it.
Now that the base Temur is in power, she knows clearly about the open and secret battle with this Second Lieutenant Jiang, but she is not going to wade into this muddy water. She will neither offend Temur for Jiang Ping nor offend Jiang Ping for Temur. It is the principle that Cathy upheld when she does not please and offend both of them. It is the principle that she adheres to.
Of course, judging from some of the news I heard, in this battle between the two sides, she was not optimistic about the Second Lieutenant Jiang, who was almost defeated.
But no matter what, the other party is still the nominal base commander. If you come to him, you still have to give him this little face.
After finishing his work, Cathy brought a few working documents from the star station, walked over to the command building, entered the building, and went straight to the gate of the commander's office on the top floor.
She originally thought Betty would be there, but she didn't see the other party's shadow. Maybe the other party is now with Sergeant Temuer?
Cathy didn't know why such thoughts came to her mind, shook her head, went forward and knocked on the door gently.
"Come in!"
With the owner's whispering inside, Cathy pushed the door and walked in.
Jiang Ping was sitting on a leather chair behind the desk, waiting for Cathy to arrive. At this moment, he saw her walking in, with a few smiles on his face, got up from the seat, and came forward.
"Sir!" Cathy walked up and gave a formal military salute to the other party.
"Sergeant Cathy, please sit down! What do you like to drink, coffee, tea, or other drinks?" Jiang Ping asked the other party to sit down on a group of sofas in the room, and then asked.
Cathy could see that the Second Lieutenant Jiang had a pretty good attitude. Logically speaking, the other party was his commander, so there was no need to be so polite.
However, if you give me a gift, you will have something to ask for. Cathy still felt a little wary. Although the other party was polite, she would not give up her principles because of this. If the other party wanted to win over her and deal with Temu, it would only disappoint the other party.
"Just give me some coffee, thank you sir." Cathy said.
Jiang Ping made a cup of hot coffee for the other party and sat down on the sofa on the other side.
This time he came to the other party, so he naturally had his purpose. The star surveying station was responsible for interstellar observations in the surrounding star fields. This observation was uninterrupted every day for many years. In the long-term observation, you may be able to find something unusual and provide yourself with some clues to answer questions about the abnormal radiation intensity of life energy in the surrounding airspace.
But he couldn't ask directly, so as not to arouse any suspicion from the other party.
"Sergeant Cathy, how is the work of the Star Station recently? Is it still going well? If there are any difficulties or requirements, I can tell me that if the problem can be solved, I, the commander, will definitely not refuse!" Jiang Ping said confidently.
Hearing the other party's words, Cathy almost couldn't help but burst out laughing and said to himself: Don't he know that he has been undermined by Temuer and has become a de facto puppet? What problems can he help the Star Station solve? Even if the Star Station really has any needs and difficulties, she thinks it would be more practical to find Temuer instead of the other party's bare commander.
Although she secretly complained in her heart, of course she would not say it. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Thank you for your concern. The Star Station is working normally now. If there are any difficulties or needs in the future, I will definitely come to find the Chief. I hope the Chief will not be annoyed at that time."
Jiang Ping waved his hand and said, "That's of course. If you have any needs or requirements, even though the work of Xingchao is very important, the base will do its best to support you."
Listening to the other party keeping writing blank checks, Cathy was even more alert, fearing that the other party would say something to win over her and deal with Temu. She didn't want to get into the fight between the two.
She picked up the documents in her hand and began to report to the other party about the recent work of the Star Station.
What she reported was all about daily trivial work, and there was no major event involved. She kept telling her a lot of observation data about voids and stars from her mouth. These data were undoubtedly very boring. If you listen to them for a long time, it would be a pity.
She originally thought that the other party would be impatient to listen, but she found that the other party seemed to listen seriously. Sometimes when she heard something unclear or a noun that she didn't understand, she would interrupt herself and ask carefully.
Seeing the other party's "humble and humbly asking for advice, not ashamed to ask for help", Cathy was even more surprised. She didn't believe that the other party had really taken her report to her. Now the other party is taking such a humble and interested attitude. Could it be that he is deliberately selling it to himself just to win over him? If this is true, it will be really difficult for the other party...
However, he was destined to disappoint the other party, and it was impossible for him to get involved in the fight between the other party and Temuer.
Cathy thought in his heart.
Originally, she intended to try her best to shorten the content of the report, but now she saw that the other party "attention and concern" made her occupational disease unbearable and she began to talk about it in a long and long way. The original plan was just a brief passage, and she began to explain in detail and carefully. She even took out some content that was not originally in the report plan today and made an impromptu description.
This led to the report she originally planned to end in more than ten minutes and twenty minutes, which was over for more than an hour!
After finally waiting for her to finish reporting on the work in her hand, Cathy came to her senses in horror, smiled apologetically at Jiang Ping opposite her, and said apologetically: "Sir, I've said too much, has it been delayed too much of your time?"
Jiang Ping waved his hand and signaled that the other party didn't have to mind. He said seriously: "No, Sergeant Cathy, you said it very well. Even if I, a person who didn't know much about star survey work before, after your talk, I am now enlightened and understood many things I didn't understand before, and had a deeper understanding of the content and importance of star survey work."
When Cathy heard this, no matter whether the other party was saying true or false, she suddenly felt grateful and felt like she met a confidant.
After pausing, Jiang Ping began to turn the topic to the real purpose of his visit to the other party today, and asked casually: "Sergeant Cathy, you have been serving in the base for a long time, right?"
Cathy replied: "Yes, Cathy has been here for eight years."
Jiang Ping nodded and said, "Sir Cathy, have you ever noticed some unusual abnormalities or abnormal astrology appearing in the surrounding airspace during these eight days and nights?"
Cathy was stunned and said, "Extraordinary abnormality, abnormal astrology? Sir, I don't know what you are talking about specifically. You know, the universe is still very mysterious to humans, with many puzzles that are difficult to solve. There are also abnormal situations, but they can also be regarded as ordinary examples."
"Is that true!" Jiang Ping looked at the other party deeply and said, "Sergeant Cathy, an abnormal condition is an abnormal condition. We must pay enough attention to every abnormality. You might as well think about it carefully. Perhaps some strange and unusual astrological phenomena have occurred, but they have been forgotten or ignored by you. For example, comet transit, meteor shower, nova explosion, aurora, abnormal planetary orbits, etc., such as abnormal astrology?" (To be continued.
