I, from 1000 years ago

Chapter 18

"Welcome back, Major General Lin Mo. I heard that the counter-insurgency process was a bit tortuous. Thank you for your hard work." The Minister of Defense, Earl Auch, is a short old man with a fat figure wearing the same military uniform as Lin Mo, which looks a bit ridiculous. However, the rank and cloak of the marshal did not show the slightest military temperament.Especially when he was talking, the fat on his face even trembled slightly with his facial expression, but at this moment, the red light on his face concealed his long-term lethargic demeanor.

Lin Mo stood in front of his desk, tall and straight, without a trace of fluctuation on his face: "It's the job of a lower official to eat the king's salary and share his worries for the king."

In the Galactic Empire, the Minister of Military Affairs, the Minister of Defense, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Space Fleet are the three giants in the military circle, and they control all the regular troops of the Galactic Empire.Although in name, the Commander-in-Chief of the Space Fleet is the highest officer of the twelve fleets of the empire, in fact this is not the case. The twelve Space Fleets have always had their own officers.This was caused by long-standing factional disputes among the imperial nobles.

The so-called Commander-in-Chief of the Space Fleet is actually the officer with the least number of Zhili fleets. Although he has the right to deploy all fleets except the First Fleet during wartime, only the Fifth, Sixth and No. 12 Fleets are truly loyal to him. .[-] Fleet.

The Minister of Military Affairs is in charge of all military affairs. He has four fleets under his command. And the number of soldiers far exceeds other fleets, so in terms of the overall number of warships, it is only slightly inferior to the five fleets of the Minister of Defense.In addition, the Minister of Military Affairs is the direct supervisor of important departments in the military such as logistics and intelligence, so in the entire Galactic Empire, the Minister of Military Affairs has a faint momentum of surpassing the Minister of Defense.

In recent years, this situation has made the Minister of Defense Earl Auch very unhappy.The three giants each have their own forces to rely on, and they themselves are also a pivotal part of this force.

Lin Mo's humble performance made Earl Auch very satisfied. The growth of the youngest major general and fleet commander in the empire in recent years has made it impossible for the most demanding people to pick out even the slightest problem.And the Third Fleet led by him has strict military discipline, and the tactical quality from officers to ordinary soldiers far surpasses the other four fleets under his command. In the entire Galactic Empire, only the First Fleet can match.

The most important thing is that this is a person he can absolutely control. As long as his father is still stationed in Fortress Dekisas, Earl Auch is not afraid of Lin Mo's defection.

Thinking of this, the smile on Earl Auch's face became more and more cordial. He even stood up from behind his luxurious desk, walked up to Lin Mo, raised his arms and patted Lin Mo's shoulder intimately, It's just that the huge gap in height made him feel a little unhappy, "You still have to work hard. You have been a major general for three years. I believe that you will be the youngest lieutenant general, general and even marshal of the empire in the future."

"You're ridiculous." Lin Mo lowered his eyes, freed his shoulders from the hands of the Minister of Defense without showing any trace, but there was not even the slightest fluctuation on his face.

"Okay, I haven't been home for a long time, I'll give you ten days off, and reunite with your family." Earl Auch nodded, turned around and went back to his desk, with an impatient look on his face, today He was exhausted by the long hours of official duties.He waved his hand, indicating that Lin Mo could go out.

Lin Mo raised his hand to salute, glanced at the thorn and rose flag behind Earl Oher, turned and walked out of the room.

After the heavy wooden door closed, a hint of boredom finally showed on his face.After replying to the salute of the guard at the gate, he strode out of the official residence of the Minister of Defense.

Seeing this, Edward Parker, who was waiting in the lounge, immediately got up and followed.

"You don't seem to be in a good mood." Seeing his officer and friend's thin lips tightly pursed, his gaze straight ahead, and his steps fast, Edward Parker immediately felt the low air pressure around Lin Mo.His chief, every time he was summoned by the Minister of Defense, would show this gesture.

"It's my limit that I can endure such a long time in that room." Lin Mo whispered, but his pace was still fast.

Edward Parker watched and heard the officer's subdued voice, with a gentle smile on his face: "Okay, at least we have completed the mission and returned safely. Probably your rank will be raised again."

"How meaningful is this?" Lin Mo showed a mocking smile on his face, but the smile still flashed by.

The two walked quickly down the high steps of the official residence of the Minister of Defense, but a thin and tall young military officer came in front of them. When he walked in front of the two, he stood still and raised his hands in salute.He has an elegant demeanor and a restrained look, and the military uniform of a school officer has a different style on him.At a glance, I can't feel the killing temperament unique to soldiers at all, just like the aristocratic teenagers commonly seen in oil paintings in the Middle Ages.When standing up and saluting, there is no trace of humility.

Lin Mo and Edward walked past him quickly, and they returned the salute.

When passing by, Lin Mo saw the colonel's collar badge clearly, coupled with the iconic silver hair, he quickly recognized the person.

"Colonel Fallinning Hueywood, chief of staff of the First Fleet." Edward, who knew a lot about his friend, smiled clearly after Lin Mo glanced at the man, "It is said that he will break your 28-year-old to become a major general record." He paused and then followed up with some teasing: "To be honest, I think so too."

"Do you think I care about this kind of thing?" Lin Mo shook his head helplessly and smiled, causing the passing female officers to exclaim in a low voice. Facing the teasing of his friends, he was not angry.

"Oh, of course, the only thing you care about is your family." Edward turned his head to look at the female officers, and smiled at them to make up for the officer's indifference and rudeness, and the woman's face blushed instantly. "To be honest, I think you should find a woman, otherwise, sooner or later, I will break up your family because of improving this relationship for you."

Lin Mo paused when he heard the words, "When will the few at home stop giving me headaches, then I will have time to think about this issue."

Edward patted his head, and the expression on his face instantly became helpless: "Well, I can understand, I also have a big sister in my family, but fortunately, I also have a father who can take care of her. But you can only discipline yourself, to be honest, I think if this goes on, you will become a father before becoming a husband."

"I've been a father for a long time." Lin Mo glanced at Edward, "It started when I was 14 years old when I was walking all night holding Lin Jian who kept crying. Fortunately, she finally began to show signs of growing up Glenn said that she seemed to be a different person during this time. To be honest, I was still a little scared."

"Oh? That child has finally passed the rebellious period?" Edward raised his eyebrows in surprise. The youngest daughter of the Lin family is famous all over the empire, but she is quite afraid of Lin Mo. She has been like this since she was a child. As she grew up, The childhood fear finally turned into rebellious hostility, which once made Lin Mo quite distressed.Lin Mo was a good son and a good student since he was a child, and then he became a good soldier and a good officer, but when he faced Lin Jian, he would never be a good brother.

"Who knows." Lin Mo said mockingly, "I asked the housekeeper to inform her that she would go home for dinner today. She has a holiday, but the housekeeper said that she agreed quite reluctantly. It seems that our relationship has not changed because of her change." improve."

"One day she will understand that children will grow up." Edward patted Lin Mo on the shoulder, and the feeling of being the brother made him understand Lin Mo very well.

"I hope so."

In fact, Lin Jian's reputation as a "garbage" did not get rid of the limelight in the physical fitness test. After all, in the war of this era, personal physical fitness is really an insignificant statistic.And after the physical training was finally over, Lin Jian got her first vacation in Azuturan, which lasted for three days. Although it was not long, for Lin Jian, this sudden vacation really made her a little at a loss.

And at this moment, she received a call from the housekeeper. Her brother, Major General Lin Mo, had quelled the rebellion and returned victorious.Therefore, she needs to go home for a family reunion.

After getting the news, Lin Jian was silent for a while, which made Chen Jinglan and Angelina a little strange.

"Bad news?" Chen Jinglan was lying on the bed reading a book because it was rare that she didn't have a game today.

"It looks very difficult." Angelina looked worried.

"No." Seeing that the two were worried about him, Lin Jian smiled: "My brother is back and wants me to go home for a meal. After all, we haven't seen each other for half a year."

"Brother? Are you unhappy when your brother comes home?" The worry on Angelina's face became more obvious. She obviously thought of her younger siblings, and then she thought of Lin Jian's situation with herself.

"No, no, it's not what you think, it's just..." Lin Jian hurriedly interrupted her association, explaining: "I'm just more afraid of him, he is a strict brother." Thinking of Lin Mo, Lin Jian felt a little powerless, She herself was a little strange. For some reason, she had a psychological fear of Lin Mo.She had thought about it too, but had no clue about it.In fact, she has met many dignified people in this world, such as Colonel Dahino, but she is a little afraid of this so-called brother who has only met once, even in terms of actual age, she is only younger than Lin Mo is only four years younger.Later, she attributed the reason to the fact that Lin Mo was indeed not an ordinary person, not only her, but also her excellent sister and second brother were afraid of him.

"Major General Lin Mo?" Chen Jinglan asked after being silent for a while.

"En." Lin Jian nodded, "I heard it was to quell a rebellion."

"I also heard that it was a rebellion in the Fisichella star field." Angelina also had a worried face, "The past few years have been a bit unsettled, and I heard that the interstellar pirates on the border of the Violet star field have also A little crazy, huh? Major General Lin Mo? Lin Jian, your brother is Major General Lin Mo?" Angelina finally sensed the key word, and at this moment her eyes burst into light, she grabbed Lin Jian's shoulder and began to shake wildly: "Is this true, is it true!"

Lin Jian was dazzled by her shaking eyes. This weak girl burst out with powerful energy after hearing Lin Mo's name. "Stop, stop! Angelina, I'm about to be shaken away by you." Lin Jian managed to comfort the crazy girl, and stroked her shaky hair: "Don't you know? Chen Jinglan I know, I thought you all knew."

"In fact, very few people know about it, and I learned about it by accident." Chen Jinglan shrugged.

"Is this surprising? Is it really unacceptable for Major General Lin Mo to have such a trash sister like me? I think we have some similarities." Lin Jian smiled and saw An Terina's rare crazy performance, she also joked.

"Where does it look like?" Angelina's eyes were almost red at this time, "Major General Lin Mo is the dream lover of all the girls in the empire. Oh, Lin Jian, I'm so sorry for you, you are actually Lin Mo The major general's sister."

"Why do you feel sorry for me? Generally speaking, shouldn't you envy me?" Lin Jian was confused by Angelina's logic, she turned to look at Chen Jinglan, who also shrugged and said that she didn't understand .

"In this way, you can't dream of marrying Major General Lin Mo."

Dreaming of marrying Major General Lin Mo!Lin Jian looked at Angelina, feeling as if she had swallowed a raw egg. She looked at Chen Jinglan, who also had a darkened face, and decided to save the girl: "Well, in fact, I think Lin Mo The major general is not a good marriage partner. This aura is too strong, and he will be surrounded by low air pressure all his life. I will feel trembling when I am less than five meters away from him."

"Is that so? So cool!!!"

Lin Jian was dumbfounded, this girl was too poisoned, she was helpless.

"However, you probably won't be anxious because of this for a long time." At this time, Chen Jinglan had recovered her demeanor, closed the book in her hand, and her expression became serious.

"Why do you say that?" Lin Jian was taken aback.

"As Angelina said, it's not peaceful these days. It is said that half of the First Fleet has been divided to destroy the space pirates, and the star field lords on the border of the empire are also ready to move. No heir has been determined, and the two factions of nobles who support Her Royal Highness and Grand Duke Wagritte are also arguing endlessly in the court. Maybe after graduation, we will meet again on the battlefield. I only hope that the youth dedicated by you and me will not be reduced A tool for nobles to fight for power."

After Chen Jinglan finished speaking, the room was quiet for a while, and what she said was true.It's just that none of the three of them thought at the time that the war would come so quickly, and not only the domestic war, but the entire galaxy had already begun to move.

It has been nearly a month since she returned to her student life. Lin Jian can't say much about it. She hasn't been home for a month. Similarly, Lin Jian doesn't feel much about that home.Lin Mo went out for more than half a year. It was early spring when he left, and it was already late autumn when he came back.The second elder brother, Lin Zi, set off to cruise Bata Baka in the second month after Lin Jian came to this world, and he was nowhere to be seen. Lin Jian only saw her sister Lin Hong occasionally when Lin Jian lived at home, and Lin Hong Lin Mo's personality is very similar to Lin Mo's, and he would freeze to death, and he has nothing to say when he sees his little sister. The two are still just nodding at each other.

So Lin Jian lingered for a while in front of his ridiculously large mansion, then opened the door and walked in.Getting along with her "family" is currently the most difficult thing for her.
