The slender intelligence officer had a bit of a proud look of suppressing Chen Yu and Du Ziqiang before, but he was suddenly shocked by the changing atmosphere and such a response on the snow, he subconsciously tilted his head, and saw that the crowd behind the two of them who were originally heading towards the transport plane suddenly froze, and they all stood in place, densely packed with hundreds of people, like a silent stele forest, and the invisible pressure accompanied their gaze, overwhelmingly surging towards him.
At this time, his arrogant expression instantly collapsed and panicked, this was a situation he had never dealt with, a scene he had never seen before, disgusted by the hundreds of heroes who had withdrawn from the second military base, this was a feeling that was enough to make their hearts feel like they had been killed!
It seemed that it was not until this moment that they had time to examine the words of Du Ziqiang and Chen Yu just now... If there were no "civilians" in front of them, they would only be afraid of dying sooner...
There was a feeling of suffocation like that of a drowning person, and for the first time, these intelligence officers faced the "junior non-commissioned officers" who were much lower in rank than them, but for the first time, they felt the invisible pressure as heavy as drowning.
And at this moment, their eyes were obviously messy and glanced at the whole audience, but they inadvertently caught the figures of those high-ranking officers of the fleet in the distance. It's like a drowning man grasping at a life-saving straw!
That's right, the senior officers of the Fifth Fleet are here! And because these people discovered the anomaly here, they all looked at it with an angry look. No matter what time it is, whether you have received great honors or not, as a soldier, the most taboo thing is to commit the following crimes! You don't have to be a battle hero!
Therefore, the two thorns of Du Ziqiang and Chen Yu in front of him, under this kind of scene, there are some signs of inciting mutiny. If the high-ranking officials above can't see the hat down, they can directly push a person's martial arts to the end!
No matter what the intelligence officers in front of you did wrong, but after all, the rank is here. They are always superiors!
So the authority in the hearts of these three intelligence officers immediately revived!
The fleet generals are all looking at it, what other tricks do you two want to do? They are doing what they are told, and they are strictly following the rules and regulations! Rules are rules, this is our job, we have not exceeded the rules! No matter what credit the other party has, whether the empire will award awards or not, these are all calculated later, and now, civilians can't go through the retreat plan of military personnel! That's the rules of the fleet!
Lin Hai followed the gaze of the three of them, and saw the senior admirals of the fleet whose faces were covered with clouds. Among them, there are many colonels in groups, and among them, there are people who carry Venus on their shoulders, and they are brigadier generals or above who can crush people to death if they put the new South Star in the imperial military system.
Among these people is Xia Ying. and her autumn eyes that looked at herself with an uncertain expression.
Lin Hai suddenly thought of a possibility, a certain part of his chest, suddenly throbbed inexplicably.
He thought of Li Yifeng, and thought of the man in Li Yifeng's mouth, who was becoming more and more famous in the imperial fleet system, and Xia Ying was destined to be inextricably linked.
As Li Yifeng said, from any point of view, they will become a pair of people who are blessed by thousands of people.
So maybe the other transport plane at this moment is her behest arrangement.
Because in all likelihood, she wouldn't want to involve herself in the eyes of these high-ranking officers of the fleet. And that affects everything that happens after that...
Thinking of this, Lin Hai suddenly had an urge to immediately move as far as he could!
Xia Ying's beautiful eyes kept looking at Lin Hai, and suddenly saw his indescribable grin, this smile was a little bitter and a little sad, and at that moment it was like a meteor falling to the ground, and her heart was hurting!
The three intelligence officers who were waiting for the fleet's high-ranking officers' sledgehammers to fall to deal with Chen Du and the others saw the high-ranking officers who were gathered together separate, and Xia Ying, who was wrapped in a blue winter coat, came out of the crowd and came straight to Lin Hai, stretched out his hand, and was about to pull Lin Hai and walk back.
However, it was Lin Hai who raised his hand and shook off her outstretched wrist.
This earth-shattering picture was enough to make those fleet generals concentrate one by one, and they didn't dare to come out.
Lin Hai's pale and calm face was sad but not sad, and he looked at the girl in front of him.
Xia Ying's eyes were red, tears came out of her eyes, and Lin Hai's hand shook off and grabbed her warm coat, her voice was suddenly a little hoarse, "Lin Hai, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Feeling that his eyes were a little dry, Lin Hai looked at Xia Ying, who had a pair of beautiful eyes, and laughed at himself, "Why, I'm just a civilian?" Or have you been insisting on the so-called not getting me into trouble? "
Xia Ying held her face in her hands, and her tears continued to slide down Haobai's wrist like that, and the group was silent when she saw this imperial idol crying like this for the first time.
"A poor boy born in the slums also deserves a toad to eat swan meat?"
Xia Ying shook her head, but she couldn't speak, and looked at Lin Hai angrily with surging teary eyes.
"You're the daughter of a general, an imperial icon, and you have an amazing fiancé, who the am I? I'm really ... It's stupid. "
Xia Ying had already cried into tears, in the face of Lin Hai's harsh words, her heart twitched and choked so much that she couldn't even say a syllable, and the slap she threw at Lin Hai was held in his hand, the tentacles were still smooth, but it seemed that the palpitating warmth had been lost somewhere.
Lin Hai's chest was suddenly blocked, this struggling to survive in the slums of the garbage star for twenty years, returning to the riverside star, it seems that he has not been hurt by his brother's widowhood, he is not cold for the exclusion of his family, and he does not hate Lin Wei, who once abandoned his son, as if he was a bastard child who was very heartless and generous in everything, and finally at this moment, the accumulated tide broke through the embankment that he had been building with a hard heart of cocoon scabs, and broke the embankment for it.
With a little desolate red eyes, he let go of Xia Ying's hand, turned around and strode towards the gyroplane.
Xia Ying behind her couldn't cry, and her cry was quickly drowned out by the echoing hum of the rotors and the heavy snow.
The man's back was full of tears, and Xia Ying muttered to herself, "Lin Hai, maybe you will hate me, you would rather never see me, maybe, just as I am a self-righteous arrangement... I never regret meeting you, really. But forgive me, I can't be so selfish as to trap you and put you through a storm that you shouldn't have to bear... You are destined to be a great man, but you can't die at the beginning of my flight. There is a proverb in the empire that says if you don't touch the south wall, you won't look back, and I know very well that you are the kind of person who will not look back even if you touch the south wall, so how can I watch you challenge the storm and thorns over and over again, and as for the blood and bruises all over your body..."
"So... Please forgive me, if one day you find the person you love each other... I'm going to pray for you at last..."
"Please be happy."
She was so choked that she couldn't speak anymore.
Young men and women will always be cautious, cynical, chattering, and arguing with each other in the quiet passing years. But strong love and proud ambition are as arrogant as wild horses, and girls will always be more mature than boys of the same age, so sometimes they will make self-righteous arrangements because of the so-called "better for you", and will put them on the shelf in order to avoid hurting the things they cherish. will compromise for reality, will feel sorry for the other party, will not bear to face the other party's iron wall, Don Quixo's German style of hitting the insignificance of the windmill, and finally be beaten all over the body and shattered.
It is better to forget each other in the galaxy.
In this vast galaxy age, the bond between people is not as eternal as time, and it is also extremely fragile at a distance of light years, people are more accustomed to focusing on reality, and may one day finally have to compromise for reality, living their lives like the walking dead, they will find that their hearts are gradually cold, they will occasionally be lost, and they will find that they cry less and less, until one day they suddenly cry out of their voices... I found that what I finally lost in the long years was the person who couldn't remember his face, but he always remembered it.
Lin Hai didn't know Xia Ying's thoughts, in fact, when the two officers deliberately guided him to another transport ship, but because of Du Ziqiang and Chen Yujie, Xia Ying looked over with a slight worry, Lin Hai had already understood Xia Ying's true wishes.
A woman who will be accompanied by a frigate when he travels, and a woman who is as huge and imposing as Li Yifeng will escort her, and how much helplessness and indescribable paleness there is behind it. Therefore, when Xinnanxing fled, she would unscrupulously show her true character because of that short-term freedom, and she could carry out a ridiculous escape journey with Lin Hai regardless of her identity and reality. And she undoubtedly knows very well that it is easy to seek death in flight, and once their fugitive career is over, the fate of facing reality is the ultimate insoluble proposition.
He would return to that society to continue his life as the son of a minor nobleman, while she would still return to the position of anchor and take on the role of a key element in the balance of power at the top in the future.
The world is very big, and the starry sky is very big, but the lives that are bred in these stars are destined to die because of their different circumstances.
When the garden tree falls in love with the falling flowers, when the wild horse chases the moon in the wasteland, when the woman who longs for love meets the playboy who just wants her body, when the poor boy who is in charge of repairing the saddle in the literature is obsessed with the aristocratic princess at a glance. It is decided that these are all things that have no result in reality because of their different rules and circumstances, or even if they are different in their aspirations.
The garden tree will never be able to keep the falling flowers, the wild horse will not be able to catch up with the moon shadow if he runs to death, the woman may be abandoned, and the son of the blacksmith may be hanged. There is no reason for the bonds between all things in the world, only naked and cold rules and gaps.
Xia Ying, who boarded the spaceship and watched the entire land of Xinnanxing gradually disappear, didn't care if she had a bad image in the hearts of those surviving soldiers, she was just carrying a reputation of reality and indifference, and her heart was like a knife, but she still had to maintain the same bearing in front of the generals around her.
I went to the bathroom in between, locked myself in it, took a handful of water and gently patted it on my face, washed away the dust on my cheeks, and still restored my face that was muddy and clean, but the two eyes on this face were red and slightly swollen, and it was not good-looking.
Thinking of the "observing" gaze of the generals of the other faction of the military during the rescue, Xia Ying felt that such pain was necessary and realistic after all, and in the quiet bathroom, looking at the emaciated face of the person in the mirror, she said softly, "It's okay... It's all right for you and for me. "
...
Lin Hai, who was also looking at the land of the New South Star from the transport plane that was obviously on a different trajectory from many spaceships, suppressed the throbbing pain in his chest. This person who has never been moved by the exclusion and widowhood of the Lin Manor, and the life of the garbage star facing the yellow sand and facing the starry sky did not bend his waist, and the biggest emotional fluctuation in this life is the moment when his mother's life passes in his hands, in addition to this, the young man who has always been a cold observer of his life will actually show such an unkind side to that imperial idol who can only be seen by ordinary people today. Where is the immature impulsive behavior, which is not without the mind of judging and enduring the pain.
For Xia Ying, although her identity is as bright as a distant star and unattainable, how can she not have the helplessness she carries, Xia Ying's five-star general's father still has indescribable hardships and pressures in high-level politics, so the invisible trend behind this and the need to maintain a certain balance, how can Xia Ying, who claims to be turned into a small gear to maintain balance, break through easily?
In other words, the existence of the Chen family, the Li family, and even the old nobles and big forces in the empire behind her, and even the compelling pressure carried by Li Yifeng, and these endless emergings and inflictions on Lin Hai, are they fair to him? Will it eventually let go because of the hardship? If the result will eventually evolve into cowardice, then why go back to the beginning?
Not everything can be like the plot of the movie, men and women meet and experience life and death and then hold hands to grow old together. It is also very likely that it is as far away as reality, light years away, and gradually estranged, until it is never seen again.
There will always be one or two wicked people in a person's life, the church loves, or the church hates, but in the end, people grow and mature.
Lin Hai, who knew all this, naturally chose to be the villain himself, so he shook off her and wanted to take his hand and turn around and walk into the snow.
Lin Hai, who grew up in Junk Star, actually has no ambitions in this life, he can survive without having to gasp hard, he can eat and drink without going through life-and-death battles, and he can meet a few people who don't need to intrigue and are worthy of relying on each other and trusting each other, that's all.
People always say to meet the right person in the right place at the right time. He met this legendary imperial idol in a place that was not so suitable for the time, but he still remembered the way she curled the corners of her mouth when she was angry, the breathing and warmth of Rulan lying on her back when she fled, and the shocking glimpse of her in the pool.
Sometimes the beauty doesn't have to be greedy for yourself, you just need to hide it in the bottom of your heart, it's enough.
And just when Lin Hai thought like this, he didn't know that in the future, when he met that woman again, it would be such an unexpected situation...
...
This transport plane with a different trajectory of the large force flew along the route, and as Lin Hai expected, it temporarily stopped at a military base, according to Lin Hai's visual analysis, this should be the first military base of Xinnanxing, and in the temporary military base, he was summoned by the officials of the Imperial Intelligence Agency.
There are also some missing passengers from passenger spacecraft who arrived at the same time, all of whom were found and survived, and were not delivered to the planetary airport in the first place, but were transferred here first.
Officers from the Imperial Intelligence Service asked the surviving passengers what they had seen and heard at the time of their death and on the way, and all references to the Sipon warship and the possible events of the war were redefined.
After exaggerating the big truth, Lin Hai and others were asked to sign a confidentiality agreement from the military, which signed the agreement to keep the details of the passenger ship crash and the distress of Xinnanxing secret, and after returning to the imperial society and returning to the normal trajectory of life, they all declared to the outside world that the passenger ship was harassed by air thieves and forced to land, there was no so-called frigate sinking, there were no warships in outer space, and even they did not see those possible battles and forbade any in-depth speculation about this incident.
Lin Hai finally understood why all the officers and men of the Second Military Base and Xu Teng were sent directly to another destination by the Fifth Fleet's spaceship, that is, as soldiers, they would naturally be required to unconditionally keep this incident secret, and there was no need to conduct separate secrecy education and sign a special secrecy agreement like the survivors of the shipwreck.
This is like a big hand from the empire, easily enveloping the participants and victims of all events, controlling certain unfavorable factors that may threaten the stability of the empire and the stability of the entire external situation, and extinguishing those sparks that may ferment and burn the entire empire.
"It's national security again, and it's the public interest." In the face of this confidentiality agreement, Lin Hai laughed self-deprecatingly.
Several officers on the opposite side looked at the computer in their hands, and then looked at Lin Hai, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin Hai, we have received some intelligence information, which records that you have some contact with a mecha suspected of being extremely high-secrecy, and the superior instructed us, I'm afraid we need to stay for a while to assist us in our investigation..."
Lin Hai looked at these officers at the second military base and frowned, "Someone is waiting for me, and my academy is about to open..."
"I'm sorry." The officer interrupted him coldly, "We'll let you get in touch with your family, but here at the academy, I'm afraid you're going to postpone your enrollment..."
Although Lin Hai was a little angry in his heart, he also knew very well that the Gondor mecha he was driving was also taken over by the imperial fleet, it was obvious that he couldn't stay out of the matter, and naturally someone had already targeted him, although he trusted Jiang Zhi extremely during the whole process, and even when he saw Xu Teng, he did not regret his actions, and firmly believed that Jiang Zhi would definitely have arrangements in this matter, but he still couldn't help but ask, "How long will it be delayed?" "
The officer looked at the information about Lin Hai and said with a vague meaning that he couldn't explain, "I don't know, maybe a month, maybe a year, maybe ... Longer. "
This statement is almost a little unpolite. And if anyone stands in the perspective of that officer, in the face of the intelligence bureau's analysis of the mecha and the evaluation of Lin Hai, the tone will not be much polite. A civilian, but involved in the secret of the Empire's special weapons, and even manipulated this special secret mecha related to the Xipang Empire... but does not have any matching identity background. So it can be said that this officer's words to Lin Hai are already very kind, and he did not say that he may not be able to go to any academy for the rest of his life, or even leave the military supervision for half a step, which can be regarded as giving him enough face.
Although the officer's tone was vague and calm, the strictly trained soldiers around him had already learned how to distinguish the good from the bad of a thing from his tone, so at this time, these soldiers with loaded guns collectively subconsciously clenched their guns, waiting for any unexpected actions on the part of the man in front of him, who was under the focus of the military's monitoring and even had major suspicions in some incidents.
At this moment, Lin Hai did not act excessively, but the door of the room was opened, and the officers who walked in, regardless of the medals on their chests or the ranks on their shoulders, were far above the soldiers in the interrogation hall at this moment.
The officer, who was not angry but mighty, inspected the audience, but only asked in a low and deep voice, "Who is Lin Hai?" "
Lin Hai was stunned, the officer's gaze locked on him, and then said, "There is a transport plane outside, which will take you to the airport... You're free. "
The waves hidden in the upper echelons of the empire are far more intense than they appear.
In the middle of the Imperial Boundary, the Imperial fleet shining with the light of the stars is confronting the distant Sipon battle ship group in the public domain. After Cao Shidao's destroyer fled, the Fifth Fleet of the Eagle Empire, Bit's advance attack fleet pursued and pursued fiercely, and a Xipang Dreadnought-class support ship was sunk in Baishazhou, and seeing Cao Shidao fleeing to the "Shoemaker" asteroid gravel area, he encountered the Xipang battle ship group that turned out in the shadow of the asteroid group.
According to the analysis of its characteristics, this combat ship group belongs to the "Tiger Shark" combat group of the First Space Division of the Xipang Ace Fleet, and it should have been deployed in advance to meet Cao Shidao's path under extraordinary circumstances.
At this time, the Tiger Shark Combat Ship Group and the Eagle Empire Pursuit Fleet were tense, and the combat ships of the two sides cruised and swam each other at the maximum attack distance, and each other's gun doors and high-speed missile bays pointed at each other in the distance.
The location of the Congressional Emergency Response Committee was brightly lit, and the Department of Defense Operations Command Center was silent.
Countless people, ignoring the sweat on their foreheads or backs, in an extremely depressed atmosphere, looked at the images transmitted in real time from the Bit Advance Strike Fleet on the big screen, and the various close-up pictures of the group of Xipang combat ships in the asteroid area.
On the screen, the Xipang battleship only showed a metal hull dragon spine in the light of the universe, and the gun door pointed directly at the fleet of the Great Eagle Empire with a deep contemplation, and the atmosphere and gunpowder smell on both sides were stretched to the extreme, as if a misfire would turn the entire Celestial Domain into a vortex of destruction. And at that time, the war between the Great Eagle Empire and Sipang will inevitably come.
Because both sides are elite troops of each other, so in this situation is extremely tense, as if both people have pulled the trigger of their pistols and pointed at each other, there is still no situation where the ship under its command is the first to fire the first shot because the commander's nerve strings are too tight, resulting in uncontrollable consequences. They are all waiting for the order of the High Command, and it is believed that at this moment, the high-level leaders behind the two empires have experienced an extremely difficult choice and a fierce battle between heaven and man in a short period of time.
At this moment, the hall of the operational command center of the Ministry of National Defense suddenly opened, and the officers who hurriedly came in held the information in their hands, and shouted at the Charles who was standing at the side of the many operating consoles in the command center looking at the operational parameter screen, "Report to Mr. Minister!" According to the information from the Fifth Fleet of the New South Star, General Tian arrived at the battlefield in time and rescued Colonel Xu Teng! The tactical purpose of the Royal Domineering Force of Sipang was prevented, so the destroyer of Sipang, which fled at this time, did not capture the first target person! "
The uproar resounded through the command center.
"General Tian is mighty!"
"The first target survives!"
"Our assault fleet has also buried one of their Dreadnought-class support ships on their doorstep forever!"
"Just know that the people of Xipang will only bluff!"
This exciting news arrived at the operational command center of the Ministry of National Defense, causing countless tense officers, staff officers, and generals to cheer for the first time, clenched their fists, and applauded vigorously. Immediately, the command center conducted a light-year fleet communication, instructing the already ready Bit Attack Fleet to cancel the operation.
At the last moment, the entire Bit attack ship group received the highest authorization from the Ministry of Defense, the preparation for war was canceled, the tactical movement was stopped, and the attack distance was widened by retreating.
The Xipang receiving fleet on the opposite side was obviously relieved, and Cao Shidao's car plunged into the fleet and began to withdraw from the battlefield under the watchful eye of the bit attack ship group.
Looking at the Xipang ship group slowly disappearing in the field of vision, the entire Eagle Empire Advance Fleet, the Congressional Emergency Committee, and everyone in the Operational Command Center of the Ministry of Defense breathed a deep sigh of relief at this moment, the vests were full of sweat, and no one knew better than them, just now, the two old empires of the Xipang and the Great Eagle Empire waved up, ready to collide, and set off a huge interstellar war storm fist, under their noses, they staggered like this!
...
The Congressional Emergency Committee that got the final news ended, and many nobles waiting outside the Capitol Hill, the parliamentarians got this information, and everyone's original worried, angry or dignified demeanor finally had some gloom at this moment, and this war that finally did not break out can be said to be the blessing of the empire and the blessing of all living beings. Many parliamentarians and nobles rushed to convey the good news to their factions as soon as possible.
And the Minister of Defense Charder, who returned to the minister's office, was receiving a top-secret report on the process of the New South Star incident from a higher authority.
Lieutenant General Stephen pounded the table opposite him and said angrily, "This crisis is actually caused by the Imperial Bureau of Investigation avoiding the military's surveillance and taking the initiative to detain Xu Teng, an important core figure!" If Xu Teng was not in Xinnanxing at that time, and the Investigation Bureau had not leaked the news from the inside, there would have been no attack by Cao Shidao and the royal domineering forces. Of course, we need to purge the empire of traitors, but in the whole incident, the Imperial Bureau of Investigation will bear the main responsibility! "
The Imperial Bureau of Investigation is registered as part of the Imperial Congress, which has the power to supervise both military and political aspects, and is authorized by the Congress to "investigate all crimes against the Empire". Therefore, to a certain extent, the Imperial Investigation Department has tentacles all over the entire empire and has great power, and in the matter of Xu Teng, it is completely possible to hide from the military intelligence department. It's just that he didn't realize the importance of Xu Teng, and the intelligence system during the investigation process obviously also had spies buried by Xi Pang, so he was exploited by Xi Pang, although Cao Shidao's action failed, but in the end the empire also paid a lot of price, in this regard, the Imperial Bureau of Investigation has an unshirkable responsibility.
Charles raised his head, looked at the lieutenant general bred by the old aristocratic family in front of him, and said, "You should understand that the Imperial Investigation Bureau is certainly inseparable, but behind this, after all, it is an accident caused by that game." "
Hearing the "game" in Charles Steel's mouth, Stephen's eyes couldn't help but condense.
In the long history of thousands of years, the empire has achieved thirteen great nobles. In the history of the Empire, this was dramatically called the "Thirteen Knights of the Round Table" as the thirteen pillars that have historically consolidated the constitutional monarchy. In today's increasingly advanced imperial society, the thirteen noble families are not known to ordinary people, but only hide behind the scenes, firmly holding the core authority of the empire above the highest seats of those upper houses. Influence is still sown in the Empire's parliament.
But as the parliamentary system evolved, so did the traditions and status of the aristocracy. Not only themselves, but also representatives of the small aristocracy in the House of Commons, as well as representatives of the commoners, challenged the authority of the past. In short, the absolute authority of the great nobles of the House of Lords, represented by the king, is being threatened by the nobles and commoner representatives of the House of Commons, and the nobles of the House of Commons will never be able to reach the height of the House of Lords, so they have to try to overturn the position above so that they can sit on it. The deputies, on the other hand, were not accustomed to the House of Lords' control of parliament, and engaged in various struggles in order to gain greater power.
In this process, the Imperial Bureau of Investigation is a product of the interests of the House of Commons.
"The three starships that paved the way for Xu Teng to die back then really had the decision of the great nobles of the House of Lords?" Stephen frowned.
Charles said lightly, "The three starships issued a pursuit of Xu Teng through the top of the empire, the reason why the military passed this plan is naturally not simply the personal action of any general, if there is no greater backstage and power behind this, and can bear the consequences, this is an order that no military general, even the most amazing general, dare not make." I can give you a thorough ..." said Harder slowly, looking at Lieutenant General Stephen, "The shadow project buried in Sipon was authorized by decree of the Supreme Resolution of the National Assembly and signed by the king himself. "
Lieutenant General Stephen was shocked, "What do you mean... The Imperial Bureau of Investigation worked so hard to block the news and strictly control Xu Teng in order to prove his guilt... And once his guilt is proven, then the decision-makers ... Their targets are ... Oh my God, the Imperial Bureau of Investigation is targeting the King?! "
"What do they want to do... Do you want to depose the king? Is this the Prime Minister's ..." Stephen choked on the latter, the earth-shattering words.
"I don't know what the hell is going on in the House of Commons and the House of Lords, but I know that both sides will at least have a kind of reflection and balance because of this matter, otherwise the conflict will become more and more intense. And perhaps, one day, it will erupt like a planetary volcano, and at that time, the empire may experience a catastrophe! "
Charles said lightly, his eyes falling on the top-secret incident report in his hand again.
In this top-secret report, Charles believes that in addition to him, the Minister of Defense, there are not a few people who are eligible to obtain it on Capitol Hill at this time, at least the so-called "Thirteen Knights of the Round Table" nobles, the high-ranking staff of the king and the prime minister, also have such a thing on the table.
On top of this report, Charles was able to see the entire New South Star incident in detail, which was compiled with video recordings and confessions from the parties. The Empire's powerful intelligence system analyzed and summarized the black box images extracted from the battlefield recorder and each surviving mecha to form this report that best represented the truth of the entire incident, and presented it to the people at the highest level of the Empire, so that the New South Star incident could be seen at a glance.
In this report, they can even see the brilliant explosion of the Pegasus frigate, the trampling of people when the Seagull passenger ship wrecked, and the brilliance and ugliness of human nature. The tricks sown by the Xipang destroyer Xuefeng, the raid on the second military base by the Royal Domineering Forces, the resistance of the base and the mechs, the wreckage of Raphael and the Tavasi Air Thieves destroyed by Cao Shidao, the difficult trek of the evacuees from the base, the resistance of the Holy Cross Mecha Group to the Royal Overlord Forces, and even the participation of the air thieves and the top-secret Xipang-style mecha...
And in the whole incident, there is always a young man, in a certain abrupt posture, from the Seagull passenger ship to the New South Star incident, and even some conspicuous existence above this report, appearing under the noses of these high-ranking people in the empire.
It seems that it is precisely because of the activities of this tiny ant-like youth that at every critical turning point, with a small impetus, the direction of the entire overall situation has been changed, so that the Great Eagle Empire and the Xipang Empire, two behemoths that exist like huge stars, did not have a final collision in the end, and they were only passing by the outbreak of war, and they were extremely dangerous!
When the Xipang Royal Domineering Force attacked the base, if he hadn't provoked the two major air thief forces before, then it would be unlikely that he would be able to contain the pursuing Royal Domineering Force in the end, and Cao Shidao could only come to attack alone, and his combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced.
And if he hadn't met Xia Ying, then it would have been impossible for him to be noticed by Charles through the surveillance information sent back by the passenger ship, and then it would be impossible for Xia Elder to use Jiang Zhi's positioning information to make Tian Fatzi, who went to rescue Xia Ying, accurately arrive at the position where the final Gondor mecha and Cao Shidao fought, and turned the tide at a critical moment to prevent Cao Shidao from attacking or capturing Xu Teng.
In the whole process, this young man seems to be small, but always with this subtle coincidence and the force of the critical moment, the result of the change and promotion of the whole situation is to avoid a war. Even, it also avoided the terrible consequences caused by the game between the big forces at the top of the empire.
Maybe they'll thank this guy, maybe not.
Charles was so self-deprecating that he closed the report's computer and whispered the name.
"Oh, it's ... again Lin Hai. "
There is a river in the capital that is very famous and has a unique name, called the Jingyue River. This river has a history of thousands of years in the capital of the Eagle Empire, and the capital of the Eagle Empire was once conceived by this river. The reason why this river is so famous is because the entire political center of the capital star was born with the river as the center. On the right bank of the Jingyue River is the Imperial Capitol Hill. The hill on the left bank, opposite the Capitol Hill, is where the King's palace is located.
Outside the official residence is the riverside square, with statues of the great figures who founded the empire and even left a brilliant name in the history of the empire, and to this day, it is still the most popular tourist destination, and countless people have come to the square to see the exquisite and spectacular king's official residence from afar, and if you have the opportunity, you can even see the king traveling.
In the backyard of the 200,000-square-meter King's Residence, there is a garden lawn that can be enjoyed to the fullest. In the distance, what should have been the outline of the mountain is the unusually developed urban architecture.
In the gazebo on the lawn of the official residence overhead, where no aircraft could pass, the old woman in a checked knit sweater, with white temples and wrinkled faces, but with a clear silhouette, was sitting here reading an electronic newspaper, and the black teacup in front of her was floating indifferently smoke.
The old man raised his head from time to time, and he could see some men in black standing at some tacit intervals on the edge of the palm grove of those lawn gardens, they did not disturb the old man's rest, but invisibly, with such a daily security scale, showed a certain central position of this old woman.
Although he was a little disappointed to see these men in black, the old man still laughed at himself, knowing that this was a necessary arrangement, and such an arrangement, the same scene, had probably existed for thousands of years at the same time from the moment the empire was born in the universe.
There were some people's footsteps behind him, and the seven people came to this pavilion under the guidance of some black-clothed guards, and the seven people behind the old woman, if they were placed among the so-called upper class and bureaucratic high-level in the empire, they were definitely Gao Chuan's staggering existence - after all, in the imperial society, there was no one who could have the opportunity to see so many "Knights of the King's Thirteen Round Table" nobles in this life, and they could see a person in such a uniform manner.
"Since you're here, there must be a fixed number on Capitol Hill, and this time, it should be able to bring some good news." The old woman's voice was slow, but very calm.
"My Majesty... In the whole incident, the Imperial Bureau of Investigation must bear the main responsibility, some people in the government of this country are either corrupted or have been infected by the Sipang, a necessary liquidation, it is imperative! "
"This government has clearly failed your hopes, the polls show that support is declining, the government is making repeated mistakes, and it is losing the trust of the people, and we feel that it is necessary to put up a few more people in power in the future to share the worries of His Majesty in the management of this government."
"The hand of the Imperial Government has been stretched too long, and the people in the House of Commons are not content with the pancakes they have in front of them, they need bigger cheese, and although we have tried so hard to stay out of it, they are too greedy and embarrassed to eat and even more to curtail our influence..."
The contradictions between the House of Lords and the House of Commons of the Reich are eternal, and the reconciliation of these contradictions has always been an eternal proposition.
The House of Lords represents the supreme constitutional kingship, and the House of Commons represents the authority of sacred law and government. The two have existed in this universe for many years, and researchers have even asserted that this kind of apparent constitutional kingship is even more real and advanced than those imperial systems that have merely changed into democratic republican clothes because of social progress, so they will even exist forever.
And in the face of the words of these great aristocratic family heads or complaining or indignant, the old woman in front of her just gently stretched out her hand, like an absolutely majestic light, suppressed their words, and said, "I have said countless times, the government of flowing water, the charter of iron. As long as the constitution is made by us, then there will never be any need to worry about the greater freedom of action for those who want to make a real contribution to the empire. "
"The House of Lords allows certain acts of government, but it should never allow some moth-like acts," bowed one of the nobles, "and their real minds do not seem to be more than a desire for greater action, perhaps... More greedy than imagined, like a gopher, trying to destroy the foundation of the old house. "
"But we're not a decaying old mansion." The old woman laughed, that kind of strong confidence, just such a passage and a smile, you could feel some kind of strong confidence in a constitutional kingship that had been inherited for thousands of years.
"So, tell me about Xu Teng. You must have received the incident report. "
The expressions of these great nobles became slightly solemn, "Xu Teng was received by the Fifth Fleet, although the Imperial Bureau of Investigation made a mistake in this matter, but they refused to recognize Xu Teng's shadow plan, and insisted on sending it to the highest court of the empire for public trial, and Your Majesty, you are the authorized person to approve the shadow plan, if Xu Teng is proven guilty, they can even stir up public opinion and target the House of Lords, in this, Your Majesty's authority will be greatly hit... This is exactly what only the filthy people in the House of Commons can do! We should fight back! "
The queen with gray temples nodded, "The shadow plan is indeed in my hands, and at that time, I was still in the prime of my ...."
The old woman's blue eyes shone with a certain auspicious brilliance, but they were far from so simple, and there was an indescribable sadness in the depths of such pupils, and it seemed that because of one of her decisions, a lot of bloody things had happened under her acquiescing eyes. In a way, this is also her will. It is undoubtedly naïve and superficial for anyone to judge the character and mind of an old woman like her by her appearance. Therefore, these big nobles in front of them, in the face of this old man, prefer to call him a king, rather than some kind of "queen" with a weak element.
Because no old woman, just looking at you, will make these nobles with extremely extraordinary status feel cold in their vests.
On the lawn of the palace, the voice said slowly, "Although there are many casualties in this process, many people have sacrificed, sacrificing their lives, their families, and their good years, I am confident that there is nothing wrong with the shadow project, and if the investigation bureau wants to try Xu Teng publicly, there will be no problems, I am willing to approve it, and let history determine this ..."
"Your Majesty." One of the nobles hesitated, "This will be a difficult lawsuit after all, and I think we should use the authority of the House of Lords to put the shadow project aside." "The nobles of the House of Lords are very clear that once the public trial defines Xu Teng's crime in the Imperial Court, then the direct result will be the questioning of the decision-makers.
"It's okay," the old woman waved her hand, at this time, her slightly blue and old pupils only slightly condensed some spring light, but this kind of spring light was more dazzling than the scorching sun, "If you want to defeat someone, the most important thing is not to avoid him, but to knock him down head-on, if you don't even have this confidence, then why did I approve that plan in the first place..."
Everyone was silent, understanding that the old woman in front of them had made a decision and was irretrievable, so the next urgent thing to do was to prepare for a lawsuit and debate that might not have appeared in nearly ten years, and which was the most important in the imperial society and even in the court world.
Everyone fell silent, and the old woman seemed to be closing her eyes to recuperate, but perhaps sensing that the atmosphere at this time was a little depressing, the old woman opened her eyes, "You all read that report, do you remember the little guy who is connected with Xu Teng in it?" "
Everyone looked at each other, and perhaps some of the great nobles watched the report simply to understand the whole process of events, and the characters in it were just a symbolic code. There is simply no need to enter their field of vision, or even be remembered. Only one of the Duke Oscars looked up and hesitated, "That's what you're talking about... Lin Hai? "
Hearing Duke Oscar wake up, the surrounding nobles all had an impression, "The one who dared to stun two agents of the Investigation Bureau and contact Xu Teng at the second base under the nose of the Investigation Bureau?" "
"Is that the young man who resisted Cao Shidao head-on and was undefeated for a short time?"
"This young man is a little interesting, he seems to be a descendant of the Riverside Xinglin Clan, and the Riverside Xinglin Clan is related to the Duke of Lily, strictly speaking, this little guy should be a distant relative of the Duke of Lily's family, maybe it's still a cousin or something..."
It's not a fantasy for these big nobles to discuss a small role.
In the capital star, the ladies and ladies of the upper class get together, and most of them will discuss current affairs, or discuss the work of a talented poet from a poor background who has recently won a literary prize, or a good song, or an anecdote about a minor official, or a young man who has excelled in a certain family. Some social hot news may have become the topic of drunken gossip in these upper classes, not to mention these big aristocrats who can talk about geography, philosophy, economics and politics, and decision-making with a cup, invisibly control many political and economic contexts of the empire, and have a lot of information that ordinary people can't imagine.
And the Lin Hai in their mouths, because of his involvement in this New South Star incident, can be regarded as a pivotal existence in the entire course of the incident.
"This Lin Hai was a little abrupt in this matter at first glance, but he could actually bypass the Investigation Bureau and contact Xu Teng, and even pilot that mecha... This proves that he and the ... Man, there is an inseparable connection... "A big nobleman frowned, "Do you want to monitor him?" "
The queen shook her head, she didn't know what she was thinking, her eyes softened slightly, "The agent who attacked the Imperial Bureau of Investigation piloted the Imperial Top Secret Mecha without even getting the authorization of Congress... These charges are enough to put him in prison that will not see the light of day, and he may be in great trouble... But after all, he did prevent the Bureau of Investigation from causing a bad accident and avoided a war with the Sipon Empire, and in that respect, he was very meritorious, so he could be pardoned. "
One of the dukes then said, "I'll contact the Fifth Fleet now, and if he is captured, then let them go." "
The nobles were awe-inspiring, and the queen personally ordered the pardon of a person, which was almost some kind of great gift, but it was a pity, if the role played by this young man named Lin Hai in this raid was normally counted, he might even be awarded a commendation medal by the queen herself, and in the army, he would be directly credited with merit and jump to one level, just like the officers and soldiers of the second military base who would be secretly awarded medals, and receive the imperial recognition of heroic glory.
However, Lin Hai is not a soldier, and the truth of the incident is destined to be covered up and will not be disclosed to the people, and it is impossible for Lin Hai to be honored because of this incident, and he will inevitably pass by all this, as an ordinary person, and return to his ordinary life.
It was only at this moment that the queen's face smiled faintly, "But the empire should cultivate every outstanding talent, in Xinnanxing, this little guy can actually drive a mecha to cause some obstacles to Cao Shidao, who has always been a bulky bamboo, it doesn't show his talent... He will be studying at Qingyuan College, and perhaps, I can personally give him some preferential treatment..."
Everyone is slightly afraid, as the great nobles of the House of Lords, they will often be good at discovering some outstanding talents and incorporating them into their industries, so that their family foundation is more consolidated, and every big nobleman has countless followers under his banner. And the queen is also a figure who is good at winning people's hearts, and she will also have some people's hearts to outstanding officials of the government, to an award-winning scientific and technological researcher, to some heroic combat soldiers, generals, and queens. It's just that this young man is really qualified to become an excellent person in the king's eye.
Not necessarily.
The great nobles knew that in terms of ability, Lin Hai was far from reaching the level of those so-called amazing and brilliant people in the empire, and if it weren't for the fact that he just happened to prevent the conflict and war between the two empires, he might not have been able to enter the field of vision of their conversation at the moment.
This may just be the queen's desire to compensate this young man who is destined to be a hero and who is destined to be a hero.
Downing Street is the collective name of a group of buildings. Although the streets here are located near the bustling central square, the entrances to the streets are guarded by strictly forbidden grille gates and posts.
Building 10 in Downing Street, the door doesn't look imposing at all, like an ordinary home, and if that's not enough to tell the building's function, then the iconic black-and-white checkerboard floor of the portico and the famous lion's head knocker on the door are enough for every three-year-old in the empire to find the answer in their textbook.
In fact, the fact that the Imperial Cabinet is often crowded here is a testament to the building's differences.
In his office on the second floor of No. 10 Downing Street, the Imperial Prime Minister was writing the bills in his hand on a luxurious purple shirted wooden table, and several cabinet secrets stood opposite, including the chief of staff, the majority party leader of the House of Commons, and the aristocratic senator who played an important role in parliament.
At this moment, in the conference hall on the same floor as the Prime Minister's Office, there are more cabinet members who are in full swing to discuss the meeting to deal with the impact of the New South Star incident on the Cabinet government.
It's just that the cabinet members in the conference hall at this moment have a sad and bleak face.
Needless to say, in the face of the pressure exerted by the House of Lords and the House of Commons, the Imperial Bureau of Investigation, led by the Cabinet government, had to pay a great deal of responsibility in this incident, and the intelligence services had already launched a purge of traitors within the Bureau, and the Cabinet government had paid the price. In this game between the cabinet government and the big nobles, they have indeed fallen to a low point.
"The Deputy Director of the Investigation Bureau committed suicide this morning. At the same time, Senator Luo Dahua disappeared and his whereabouts are unknown. After forcibly breaking down the door, Wang Yude of the Secretariat had committed suicide by slitting his wrists in his bathtub, and in the previous investigation, all three of them were suspected of peddling information to Xipang and facilitating the attack on Xinnanxing... In addition to this, there are more than thirty people involved in this incident..."
In the office, in the face of such a report, the prime minister's eyebrows have never stretched.
To watch these once familiar names turn into bright red and dazzling red, representing suspicion and treason, his mind is complicated. What's more important is that the Imperial Bureau of Investigation, which was originally controlled by the cabinet government and has great power in the Empire, has caused such a big mistake in this matter, which can only prompt the power of the Bureau of Investigation to be weakened again.
Wang Yuan, director of the office, continued, "The investigation bureau has such a big incident, it is undoubtedly a blow to the government and the cabinet, but we are not without the possibility of fighting back, and the trial of Xu Teng will be the final game between us and the nobles of the House of Lords." We have already made the best accusations, and in the Imperial Court, we have pronounced a verdict on Xu Teng, which is also the best way to restore the prestige of the cabinet..."
The prime minister waved his hand, interrupting the speech of his chief of staff, and frowned in the face of these cronies who were looking at him, "I think everyone must first know that the trial of Xu Teng is not the purpose of our declaration of war on the great nobles of the House of Lords... Rather, it is done for just reasons... If justice ceases to exist, the government will be a big gang of robbers, and when a country no longer needs justice, then a gang of robbers is a small state. "
Sighing, the Prime Minister's gaze looked out through the window on the second floor, where you could look directly at the Guards Parade Ground, you could see St. James's Park, you could see through the spring sunshine the lawn where the grass grew and the warblers flew, and the outlines of the majestic buildings, the center of the empire's gathering of power, "This summer, I went to the Trekshire Star to comfort the families of the starship victims that year, saw the carnations planted at the door of every house, and saw that after many years, there are still people silently mourning in front of the tombstones of those martyrs, When I saw the golden wild chrysanthemums blooming all over the mountains of Trek County, I thought at that time, if justice was scattered all over every corner like these golden wild chrysanthemums, that kind of world would definitely be King Arthur's evergreen land, the ideal hometown of the country of goblins... After so many years, seeing that the events of that year still leave scars on people's faces and hearts, I understood then that I would seek justice for them, if the interests of the people can be squandered at will, the children of the people will be so ruthlessly pushed into the furnace and buried, what is the difference between such behavior and national terror. The trial of Xu Teng can be a relief for the victims, a warning for those who come after him, and may even be a wake-up call to the great power of the House of Lords, and I hope that this is a big step forward for the empire to move forward with enlightenment. "
"There is always a need for someone to pay for the lives of those three starships and more than three hundred officers and men. Whether it's an executor or a decision-maker. "
Everyone was silent, and it was clear that the prime minister in front of him had climbed from a small government official to the point where he was now, with the support of a majority in the House of Commons, and indeed had his desirable ideals and ambitions. But despite this, he is still only a supreme leader elected by the majority of the House of Commons to represent the administration of the government, and his power, since ancient times, is not the most powerful in this empire, and he will still have his own limitations.
A prime minister, a government, and a majority in the House of Commons want to play with the unshakable House of Lords since ancient times.
Because of the slightest mistake, they may step down, and the great nobles of the Imperial House of Lords, and even the old woman who holds the power of the king, can they easily resist and confront the power accumulated and precipitated over thousands of years?
Maybe sometimes there is no justice or evil in the game between the two sides, maybe just the difference in positions can cause bloodshed.
And the Imperial Prime Minister in front of him seems to be leading his cabinet legion in a crazy direction.
...
"On Xu Teng's incident, we also found the shadow of that man." After a moment's hesitation, the Chief of Staff handed in a report.
Hearing "that man", these big names in the prime minister's office frowned slightly.
"It turns out that the mecha codenamed 'Gondora' has been kept by this man, but in the New South Star incident, he did not come forward in person, and it seems that he also wanted to avoid getting involved in the entanglement between the cabinet and the House of Lords. However, although he didn't make a move, he let this man named Lin Hai take over the place of him and Xu Teng. "
A member of the House of Commons said, "Letting Lin Hai answer Xu Teng, does it mean that he has made a choice, not on the side of the prime minister, but on Wang Quanshan?" Then this Lin Hai, maybe we can also associate him with Xu Teng, if Xu Teng has a problem, he can't get out of the relationship, and controlling him as a relevant person may save a lot of trouble. "
"Not necessarily... That man has always had his own opinions and opinions, and it is well known that his relationship with Wang Quanshan's side is ... It's not so good all the time, maybe he's just on Xu Teng's side. The prime minister looked through the window at the hill where the king's palace was located on the left bank of the Jingyue River, "As for this young man named Lin Hai, no matter what his original intention of getting involved in the Xinnanxing incident was, whether the truth is correct or not, but there is always one thing that remains the same, that is, because of his existence, it has not made the situation serious." Otherwise, the mistakes made by the Investigation Bureau would not be as simple as this raid. Perhaps, because of this, we will go to war, and by that time, we may have become the sinners of the Empire. "
Everyone looked at each other and had to admit the Prime Minister's view.
"So, what do you mean ..."
"He was the illegitimate son of the Riverside Star Forest family, and before that, he only lived in the Empire's District 52 Junk Star, and I don't think he knew that man since that time. Of course, I don't care what kind of inspiration or hope that man has for him, and what kind of connection he has with Xu Teng. It's just a matter of facts, and we should be grateful to this young man named Lin Hai in our hearts. "
The Prime Minister's words were broken here, and Wang Yuan, the chief of staff, already understood it, "What does the Prime Minister mean... Shall we win over this young man in the right direction? "
"I have always believed that the young people of the empire have their own vigor and vitality, their lofty ideals, and they will be happy to see a progressive empire, a country with a better tomorrow, and if this process is built through them, it is not for a young man... Greatest ambition. The prime minister muttered, "Tell him the truth of the matter, and then, a top student who is about to enter Qingyuan College, this government needs many capable and passionate young people like him to join in the future to build and expand our career." "
The head of the office nodded with shiny eyes, "And he might be able to let us know what that man really thinks!" "
...
...
Just when the two powerful forces in the empire set their sights on the unknown young man in the New South Star Incident, the New South Star Incident finally fermented.
After the crash of the famous passenger ship Seagull set off waves in the Empire, and the horrific attack revealed by the survivors of the accident, the Empire finally stood up and announced that in the spring of 2014, in the distant border of the Empire, New South Star, there was indeed a vicious terrorist incident of air thieves attacking the ships of the Empire...
Of course, the two major air bandit forces that attacked the ships in question finally collapsed under the force of the Fifth Fleet of the Empire.
On top of this incident, the Imperial State Television, which has always released official information, was surprisingly silent, and did not publish any television news commentary on the ins and outs of the terrorist incident.
On the other hand, the other mainstream media of the empire broadcast the entire process of the "New South Star Incident" that they obtained. It is reported that the two veteran air thieves, Tawasi and Raphael, have been committing horrific acts in the border area all year round, and the Imperial Fifth Fleet rushed to the front line at the first time when the Seagull and Pegasus were killed, smashing the nest of the two major air thief forces in one fell swoop, annihilating the two arrogant air thief groups with the power of thunder, and eradicating the stubborn diseases of these two terrorist organizations for the people of New South Star!
The wave of anger among the people of the empire gradually eased because of this news. The Imperial Ministry of Defense broke the bombshell news here again, in this operation of the Fifth Fleet, the former Commodore of the Sipang Empire, Alexandra Stan, restored the fact that he was a member of the Eagle Empire, whose real name was Xu Teng, and surrendered to the Great Eagle Empire.
As soon as the news came out, the empire was once again in an uproar.
According to national news reports, Alexandra Stan is a star talent cultivated by the Xipang Empire, and the successor of the famous general Cao Shidao, with a bright future. But in fact, Stan's real name is Xu Teng, and his parents are farmers in the Great Eagle Empire, and because of his family's poor fortune, he was exiled to the Xipang Empire when he was a child. Although he was a soldier of Xipang and was cultivated by Xipang, he never forgot the fact that he had the blood of the Great Eagle Empire in his body. And because of the blood of the Eagle people and the memory of the motherland when he was a child, he is an idealist yearning for freedom, who has been subjected to the autocratic and brutal Xipang dogmatism and militarist oppression for many years, and finally respected the inner choice at this moment, broke free from the shackles of Xipang, gave up the immeasurable future of Xipang, and threw himself into the free and democratic motherland.
This not only fully proves the superiority and advanced nature of the Great Eagle Empire's system, but also proves how barbaric and inhumane the Xipang militarism on the other side of the starry sky is, and how oppressive the sky hanging over the people's heads is!
And just before people had time to get excited about the news, the Imperial Bureau of Investigation announced an indictment against Stan, indicting Alexandra Stan, who had committed multiple murders against the starship officers and soldiers of the Great Eagle Empire while serving as a general of Sipon. He should not be a hero, but a war criminal, and he wants to be tried by the Imperial Military Tribunal!
The announcement of these news one after another caused the empire to be immersed in one shocking explosion after another, but in this spring, the people of the empire generally felt that it had entered an eventful season.
...
Just as these news bombarded the people of the empire in turn, setting off a huge response among the people, every star sector, every planet, and even the people on the journey in the spaceport would get together with strangers who didn't know each other to discuss these hot social events.
Inside the Xinnan Star Airport, Lin Hai, one of the few people who experienced and knew the whole incident, was put down by the transport plane, and under the guidance of several airport rescue officers and soldiers, he walked into the airport as a survivor of the passenger ship.
When you enter the airport, you will see the outer hall of the airport blocked by reinforced glass, where countless soldiers from the second military base have stopped to watch the soldiers of the second military base who are fighting against the air thieves, as well as the people who have returned to the imperial idol Xia Ying.
Lin Hai saw through the crowd of people on the temporary ceremonial platform at the airport, led by the commander of the second military station, Simay, with familiar faces such as Du Ziqiang and Chen Yu among them, all the surviving officers and soldiers of the second military base, in the face of a certain general's salute, earth-shattering applause and cheers came, and he seemed to vaguely hear people calling their names, which was a word that was finally condensed by a thousand words - "hero." "
Among these soldiers, Xia Ying, who was wearing an overcoat and had a somewhat outstanding demeanor, stood in the center and bowed deeply to the people.
And directly in front of her, many elderly imperial generals all cast kind and loving eyes on her at the same time.
The daughter of the Minister of Defense of the Empire, not to mention that she had just experienced a life-and-death rush, was naturally very pitiful and loved by these pro-peace generals.
On the deserted glass passage across the hall, Lin Hai carried a duffel bag and stood alone at this end of the clear line, facing only an official from the accident rescue command who came to pick him up.
"You're also a survivor of the Seagull? ... Tell me your name and we'll let your family know right away! The officer pulled out the notebook.
"My name is ... Lin Hai. "
"Got it, okay, please come with me." Putting away the record book of the list of survivors, the officials wanted to move forward, but found Lin Hai standing still.
Following his gaze, he found that Lin Hai was looking at the banner on the ceremony platform at the other end of the hall separated from the high-strength glass of the aisle, surrounded by countless crowds of people.
The banner reads - "The Empire welcomes your return, hero!" "
Looking at Lin Hai's gaze for a long time, the official explained, "Hehe, that's against the air thieves, all the officers of the Second Military Garrison of New South Star, and Xia Ying, one of the survivors of the Seagull, you know, it's the idol of the Empire!" Riding in the same boat with her is probably some kind of luck in misfortune! Then again, those damn air thieves are so hateful that they even dare to attack the ships of the Empire, and they all deserve to be exterminated this time... This group of officers who fought against the air thieves were indeed the loveliest people, and this was just a temporary welcome ceremony held for them by the Fifth Fleet at the airport... The real award ceremony will be held when they return to the capital star with the fleet! When the time comes, the major TV stations will broadcast the whole process, these are real heroes! "
Lin Hai was silent, but his pupils were trembling slightly. Hero, does he crave the word? I still remember my mother's education back then, saying that she hoped that she would become a hero who stood up to the sky. The young Lin Hai didn't know what a hero was, but from his mother's eyes, he knew that this was a very remarkable existence, close to the apex of his life, like those "successful people" in countless success books.
Such "successful people" love to manage the injustices in the world, love to fight and hold injustices, can have the ability to make the unfair become fair, and can stand up without weakness when the weak are bullied, and swing their fists at the strong. Every teenager has a heroic dream, when facing bullying, when facing a fate that cannot be broken free, when feeling small...
He shuddered slightly at the thought of this magical word. Because in that way, he may not be running for survival, worrying about supporting his mother, a hero, can easily cure his mother's illness, can solve all the unfairness, can make those jackals and hyenas-like insidious people dare not make up their minds, and can be respected by countless people from the bottom of their hearts.
But as he grew up, he began to discover that the so-called heroes were like the stars in the sky, they could be seen everywhere, but they were always untouchable.
Under the gaze and confusion of the officials in front of him.
The heat and trembling in Lin Hai's eyes finally subsided, he shook his head, his eyes left the ceremony table and those familiar faces, and walked with the leading officials, passing by the noise of the hall, but in his heart he was slightly sorry and gloomy for the appearance of the woman who floated up...
I'm sorry, Mom, but I didn't end up being the hero you were expecting me to be.
