death of hope

Chapter 169 "Corporate Warrior" (85) Old Things

Page 246:
6 month 23 day,
Everyone was caught off guard,
The celebration banquet is all ready,
The fireworks are waiting to be set off, the champagne is waiting to be opened, and the parade is ready to go. At this time, the bad news comes.

Before, the expeditionary army, who was arrogant, beat gongs and drums and threatened to give away the ashes of the Tadarin people,
defeated.

24 days

It's raining,
Today's newspaper front page color pages have become black and white, each article is full of shocking figures, and the federal building has lowered its flag at half-mast to mourn the victims.

The press conference starts promptly at seven o'clock,
The military spokesman said a lot of high-sounding nonsense, the general meaning is that,

It's not that we are stupid, but that the Tadalin people don't talk about martial arts, they dare not fight head-on, but they play tricks and don't play cards according to routines, they are too cunning.

These nonsense obviously cannot quell the anger of the common people. After all, many local families have lost their loved ones.

The streets are full of marching crowds, factories are on strike, students are on strike, and I am one of them.

The most incredible thing is that the teacher who led us to strike turned out to be Ms. Faris, the teacher who trusts the Federation the most, speaks the truth, and instills chicken soup for the soul.

My school is a community garbage high school for the poor,

Faris is our chemistry teacher, leads the senior high school class, and serves as the homeroom teacher.He wears owl-like purple-rimmed glasses, has a hot afro hair, and the perfume on his body is so strong that it chokes people.

This old woman is not liked by the students, and she always brags about how good her precious daughter Daisy is.

Whoops!Our little Daisy is beautiful, smart and hardworking since she was a child, she has a grade [-] piano, and won an award for painting!

Not relying on any relationship, but relying entirely on hard work and talent as a questioner, all the way plus scholarships!
He was admitted to the best military academy in the star region, and after graduation he went to the navy to become the captain of a destroyer.

One month's salary is enough to feed a large family for half a year!
Look at you lazy students, all of you know how to play games, read comics, fall in love,

How can children from poor families enter the upper class if they don't study hard!

Every time there is a class meeting, Ms. Faris repeats this long paragraph, saying it is to motivate us, but in fact it is to show off how successful her daughter is, and it makes our ears callous.

Little Kent at my next table is a ruthless person. He has been punished three times in one semester. He always curses the head teacher's daughter for accidents.

Unexpectedly, his curse came true, but Kent was not happy at all, because his proud brother also died in the battle.

At noon, a navy clerk in a blue uniform brought a document bag to Ms. Faris and left.

There was a pile of money in the file bag, a golden medal, and a family notice,
Medals and money were awarded to her precious daughter, posthumously to fallen heroes.

Her daughter Daisy Coleman's warship was sunk, and Major Daisy fulfilled her duty as a captain by giving up the escape pod to her subordinates, and burning her beloved warship together in the sea of ​​stars.

Ms. Faris tore up the document bag like crazy, put the medal on the ground and stomped on it with her high heels, muttering;

"Liar! They are all liars! Impossible! This is impossible! How could my daughter fail when she is so good! She is still alive!"

The girls in the class were so terrified that they almost went to a psychiatrist.

The next class is chemistry class. Of course, it is impossible to teach in this state. Ms. Faris finally accepted the reality.

She held the crushed medal in her hand and apologized desperately;
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... My baby Daisy, forgive me, my stupid mother... I stepped on the medal you bought with your life... You should be hit! I should be hit!"

While crying, she slapped... She smacked her mouth so hard that her cheeks were swollen.
If it wasn't for the few of us who stopped him, he would have beaten himself half to death.

The bell rang for the end of get out of class, and the head teacher gradually came to her senses. She said that she would give us full marks this semester and would not assign homework any more. Let me take to the streets and parade, we will strike!
The troublemakers in the class responded immediately.

I didn't want to participate because I was afraid of causing trouble to my family, but seeing the situation in the school corridor, every class was full of anger, so I could only follow the team silently.

The streets were buzzing with crowds of people everywhere, the Governor's Palace was surrounded and riot police used shield walls to fend off the angry crowd.

The last time this happened, it was because of the federal tax increase.

Angry young people, grieving old people, weeping widows, crazy arsonists set cars ablaze across the block.

Under pressure, the military finally admitted that the failure stemmed from a serious mistake in decision-making,

Two hours after the apology was released, the Moff declared a state of emergency and imposed a curfew, and the situation slowed down.

XNUM X days,
The situation worsened when an old lady who had lost her three sons set fire to a warehouse on St. East Street and died in it.

Unwitting firefighters doused the fire with cold water, which reacted with chemical gases stored in the warehouse,

Then there was a shocking explosion, a huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky, the heat wave burned the green belt within half a mile, and our teaching building was not spared, and now the school is completely closed.

As the details of this war were unearthed by the media, people who didn't want to make trouble at first became furious, and I was so angry that I couldn't sleep.

Mayfield the arrogant academic fool!

Compared with fighting, this guy is still better at doing questions in the examination room,
In order to compete with the friendly army for military merits, they rashly launched an attack in the absence of information on the military defense deployment of the Tadalin people.

The enemy's anti-aircraft firepower network is as dense as the fireworks at the New Year's Super Bowl football game. Anti-aircraft missiles and lasers are flying around like they don't need money.

The enemy commander is very cunning and patient, all air and space forces are hidden deep in the asteroid belt,

When the human army launched an attack, the Tadarin people drove small and agile fighter jets purchased from other civilizations, and suddenly entered our fleet formation from the flank.

This kind of chaotic battle situation like pirates looting, you have me, and I have you in the melee situation, is exactly the tactics that those Tadarim barbarians are best at.

For fear of harming friendly forces, our large ship's giant guns are tied up, and it is difficult to give full play to the advantages of heavy firepower. We can only use small anti-aircraft guns and light missiles to resist, and use thick armor to resist attacks.

The enemy's death squads landed on the deck of the aircraft carrier, cut valves with lasers, sneaked into the interior of the ship to kill our crews, and destroyed nuclear furnaces and ammunition depots with explosives.

In the chaos, I didn't care too much about it. The casualties caused by the damage of the friendly army were even higher than that of the enemy army.
Our cannons are blown up with the enemy's own people. It feels like a missile hitting a mosquito. It kills one thousand enemies and damages itself by eight hundred.

A huge mothership, three aircraft carriers, fifteen battleships, and thirty cruisers were destroyed, and there were countless other large and small ships. The wreckage of starships floated in orbit, forming a steel cemetery.

The navy lost 11 elite crew members, and two of the three members of the Terra Council who came to the front line to gild themselves died, and the one who survived was also scared out of PTST traumatic stress disorder mental illness.

As for the landing operation, it was a complete disaster.

The commander responsible for the landing must have had too much vodka,

A large number of mobile infantry with their equipment parachuted directly into the huge pocket array in the depth of defense,
The whole army was wiped out in the sky full of artillery fire and land mines.

It is a great shame that hoplites wearing polymer armor were massacred by alien barbarians!

Within 24 hours, 25.7 people were killed in the landing force, which is undoubtedly the worst battle for the Human Federation in a century.

XNUM X days,
Admiral Mayfield voluntarily resigned to take responsibility, and that pedantic old guy would talk about wars on paper, killing many heroes!
I'm so mad, I'm going to throw this broken book away!Never write again!

8 month 3 day.

I still can't bear to throw it away after all,
This may be the only trace left in this world of me, an ugly monster.

Schools are back in session, and entrance exams have been postponed until next summer.

The students were all fearful, praying, and furious with impotence.

And I had the idea of ​​being a soldier.
