Him and their stars

"I really feel that our topic seems to be getting more and more dangerous. Someone has always told me before that professional soldiers should not get involved in politics." Luo Zeshi sighed, and his ideals were gone. A tone that is no longer pure.

"Then what?" Yu Lian smiled.

"Well, I firmly believed this when I was a student. Now that I think about it, this is indeed a false proposition."

"This is not a false proposition, but a very flexible relative term." Yu Lian shrugged, and then said thoughtfully: "However, you are right about one thing, since the Pioneer Party is already a legal political party of the community , it would be a pity if the parliamentary struggle is not finished at all. To be honest, this is not suitable for us to accumulate struggle experience."

Why do I think you actually want to have fun more?

"The collusion between politics and businessmen and gangsters is a good entry point." Yu Lian pondered for a moment and then said: "If it can be proven that there are people on the stage hiding behind the scenes and promoting this turmoil with ulterior motives, then Isn’t it just right for the Chairman... ah no, my new President to find a few people to establish his authority?”

"However, Blue Label Group has always been an ally of His Excellency President Nikita..."

"But the current District Governor and District Council of New Atlantis are controlled by the Co-Prosperity Party. Moreover, because of this, he needs to take the lead in the investigation into his own hands."

It is not easy for his own political allies to intervene, otherwise others will interpret it as a political dispute. However, the Pioneer Party, an "ally" that holds the banner of civil rights progress and has a third-party background, is the best tool.

Luo Zeshi thought for a while and then said: "...Deep Space Mining said that although something like this happened in Lone Night City, they, RN, Brooklyn Shipyard, Falcon Company, and Red Star Office The orders signed by all our companies will never be postponed. Please rest assured."

The implication is that although the workers were revolted, they were still willing to grit their teeth and complete the order. As a business partner, they are quite easy to deal with.

I'm gritting my teeth here to help you complete the order, but then you turn around and send someone to check the person's background. Isn't it too rude?

Yu Lian nodded: "What a trustworthy partner! However, the Pioneer Party is the Pioneer Party, what does it have to do with the Red Star Party?"

Luo Zeshi blinked his eyes and lowered his voice: "Well, I heard...well, I really just heard that Miss Yingji and Miss Ye are discussing with Ms. Jessica Yang about the Red Star matter. The institute is undergoing a complete reorganization. The research department and the asset management department will be separated to make management more systematic."

"I heard that." And that's what I meant.

"When the reorganization is completed, Red Star Firm will continue to engage in research and design business, and the asset management company will become the party property of the Pioneer Party."

"I heard that too." And that's what I meant too.

"The new company said it was going to be called Lianhua..."

That's not what I meant.

"It sounds like an old-fashioned gangster entrenched in Chinatown! And it's the kind that burns three sticks of incense and worships the red lotus and white lotus root! Give me a normal name." Yu Lian said angrily: "What I mean is that , anyway, even if the reorganization is completed, it will have to be completed in the second half of the year or even next year. This has nothing to do with the investigation in the first half of the year. We also hope to help our business partners eliminate hidden dangers and make everyone's cooperation smooth sailing."

Luo Zeshi thought to himself, I just like this shameless look.

"Chester, I really think that the Pioneer Party should accumulate some experience in this area. It is true that parliamentary struggle cannot solve the fundamental problem, but if you don't understand it at all and don't know how to do it at all, you might leave yourself with a legacy It's the sequelae. One day in the future, he might be tricked again. Moreover, with the intervention of Sister Jessica, the remaining wanted young people in the workers' club might be able to take a breather." Yu Lian sighed, and then I looked at the end of the report and re-read the last records of the victims of the Workers' Club.

"The one named Andora is really such a pity."

Although he had never met him, and it was even the first time he heard his name, he could feel that he was a courageous, knowledgeable, compassionate and righteous hero. That kind of progressive young leader who combines leadership, appeal and action, is well aware of the sufferings and demands of the people, and is not lacking in skills and strategies, just like the sun. Except for a slightly self-destructive tendency, he almost meets all the requirements of a good Bolshevik.

He has clearly come to the realization that "there has always been change without bloodshed. If so, it starts with me." Because of this, Yu Lian felt more and more sorry, and even sincerely mourned for the person he had never met before.

However, he also knew that what he did would be accompanied by countless sacrifices in the future. This is only the first step.

Luo Zeshi on the opposite side seemed to see something and said: "Actually, I am still not sure whether what they did is correct. But no matter what, they have their work, and we also have our work. We here It has been delayed for a long time, if it is not finalized, it will affect the construction schedule!"

Yu Lian nodded slightly, quickly calmed down, and swept away the already cold lunch in half a minute. Then he suddenly regained his high fighting spirit, as if he was going to the battlefield with hot breath from his nose:

"Okay, after a while, you will act according to my eyes."

"...No, what I mean is that this is a diplomatic situation after all, so you still need to pay a little attention to your methods." Rozez looked around and whispered: "Look, Senior Silva can't even If he didn’t come, he must have gone to get a stomach medicine package with someone from the embassy, ​​right?”

"Hahaha, Chester, among our team, I am the only one who has ever been a serious diplomat. Who gave you the courage to question my actions?"

"Isn't it you?" Luo Zeshi said without hesitation: "As you said, we are all comrades in the same front. They should express their opinions candidly and dare to criticize their own leaders."

Yu Lian opened his mouth, then laughed and patted his comrade on the shoulder: "Yes, Davarichchester, I accept your criticism, but I just don't accept your opinion."

Luo Zeshi sighed helplessly and smiled: "Well, at least I succeeded in igniting your fighting spirit. This can be regarded as the job of the adjutant."

So, the two of them finished their lunch, strode out of the restaurant, and walked toward the towering building a street away, wrapped in the warm sea breeze and bright sunshine.

The building has a sense of design. It looks like a sunflower growing in the sea breeze and sunshine. Although it is two to three hundred meters high by visual inspection, it does not give people a cold and oppressive feeling at all. Instead, it looks quite tall. It’s festive and I think it will be very popular with children.

If not, who would have thought that this "Sunflower Building" is actually the location of the Alliance Space Fleet Headquarters and the National Defense Equipment Department?

The place where they are now is a seaside city called the "Pearl Coast" in the Alliance capital Nephi. It is also the seat of the Alliance's Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee of the Armed Forces, the Space Fleet Command, the Defense Equipment and Material Planning Department and other central military departments. . It is also the home base of the Nephi Falling Star Sea Fleet.

The so-called Falling Star Sea is an ocean between the two main continents of Nephi, north and south. It can also be regarded as the cradle of Gaborian civilization. As for the so-called Falling Star Fleet, as the name suggests, it is a surface fleet within the atmosphere.

Yes, probably because of tradition, the alliance's military establishment still retains this fleet that is said to be full of glorious traditions. Its force includes more than thirty surface defense warships within the atmosphere, equipped with anti-gravity systems that can float into the air, and more than twenty sailing warships full of historical vicissitudes.

Well, the former can still play a minimal defensive function for the time being, but the latter is a proper guard of honor.

In other words, in fact, the entire fleet is purely ceremonial. A majestic alliance, the most powerful country in the Milky Way galaxy with the most extensive territory, the most abundant financial resources, the most developed science and technology (this point the empire is indifferent to), the largest population, and the most inclusive national type (this point the empire sneers at). If someone really attacked the capital, then all the generals and admirals, from the top to the commander-in-chief, should commit suicide to thank the world. We can't expect the honor guard to protect our country by then, right?

After all, the existence of these ships on the water has indeed become the unique scenery of this "Pearl Coast". When Yu Lian and Luo Zeshi came out of the restaurant together and looked at the warships docked on the coast, they felt as if they had stepped into the corridor of military history. Every frame was full of the weight of history.

At the fence on the side of Coastal Avenue that is close to the sea, many tourists have gathered, and there are even many giggling children. Many tourists also bothered to take pictures of Alliance sentries wearing retro military uniforms from various eras.

Among them, there was something going on on a five-masted super-large sailing ship that was very close to the coast.

On the deck, people in various ancient costumes were waving cold weapons and fighting in a group. From time to time, they also made some shouts and screams.

A relatively petite figure, wearing a mask and dress, a retro military uniform and a breastplate, stood on the main mast that was ten stories high, brandishing a sharp sword and shouting toward the deck: " Fight! Fight! Never give in to the court hawks! Let us set off towards the sunset! Fight! This is the sea for free people! This is the sea for Nine Snakes!"

This person's lines are really full of emotion, his words are precise and his words are full of energy. No, the people watching on the shore have already started cheering.

However, Yu Lian was embarrassed and wanted to pick his feet.

Such an embarrassing line was thanks to the actress who could pronounce it so emotionally.

However, speaking of it, I vaguely seem to have heard that voice somewhere.

"Are you filming a movie?" Luo Zeshi put his hands on his eyes, looked at it, and said with a smile: "I heard that the Alliance's Falling Star Fleet has a very important business, which is to cooperate with the film company in Haidu City to film movies. . Once the film company in the Sea City needs to use classical battleships to shoot a costume drama, they come to Pearl Coast to look for the Falling Star Fleet, which is said to be the most cost-effective and high-quality one."

Yu Lian nodded: "Since the honor guard force, the most important function is of course publicity. In this regard, the Alliance is actually the best at it, and is much closer to the people than the rigid Empire."

Of course, it may also be said that the empire is not prepared to consider the issue of being close to the people at all, and what it wants is a person who fears power in order to be virtuous.

At this time, I heard someone on the shore holding a microphone and yelling: "Stop! Stop!" Then he shouted to the actress who was still standing at the top of the mast wearing a mask: "Miss Count, your mood is still a little bit worse. . I want you to accuse, shout, and roar! You must have a glimmer of hope in despair, a glimmer of hope in madness, and a certain degree of uninhibitedness and unrestrainedness in anger."

"Don't call me Countess."

"Okay Countess, no problem Countess." The director continued with a sharp drake voice: "In short, you are the future pirate queen, the third generation of Nine Snakes! You must show the vitality of pirates. The emotion of competition! Do you understand?”

The other party was probably a little bit "I don't understand, so I was shocked". After a few seconds, he hesitated and said: "I, let me try?"

Yu Lian said to his companions: "Let's go quickly."

"There's still half an hour before the meeting starts, so you can still take a look." Luo Zeshi was still very interested in the filming scene.

"That must be a bad movie." Yu Lian said firmly. He always felt that if he stayed for a few more minutes, he would be embarrassed to death.

Having said this, even the individual moved on.

Looking at such a peaceful scene where soldiers and civilians are having fun together, Yu Lian always feels a bit complicated. Just last night, Guye City, which was more than 30,000 light-years away from here, almost turned into a sea of ​​fire. Yu Lian could only lament that most of the time, people's joys and sorrows were not the same.

The more this happened, the more unhappy Yu Lian felt. However, the more this happened, the more relaxed his expression and pace became. He was so relaxed that Luo Zeshi next to him couldn't see any clues at all.

The two quickly passed the inspection at the entrance of Xiangyanghua Building, entered the building, and met the members of their delegation who were already waiting at the door.

In addition to Colonel Silva, who seemed to have a stomach ache and forced a smile, and a group of unimportant officers who had been attacking before, there was also the chief resident attaché of the embassy, ​​Major General Oswood.

This is a very elegant-looking technical officer, the same type as Major General Lal, who was the former chief military attaché in the empire. Yu Lian had only met him once at the last reception dinner held by the embassy.

However, Yu Lian didn't have a good impression of this person, nor did he have any bad feelings towards him. He was just an ordinary bureaucrat who could be seen everywhere. However, he is also the chief military attaché abroad after all, so he should still be treated with a certain amount of respect.

So, Yu Lian took the initiative to hold the hand that the other party offered, and shook it gently: "I didn't expect you to come in person. It's really my incompetence in doing things that makes you and the Ambassador worried."

General Oswood's expression was a bit strange. Although he was smiling, there was a bit of bitterness in his eyebrows, but he still said: "No, no, no, you're welcome. You are the plenipotentiary representative in the meeting here. Embassy It's just a support. Everyone admires your creative work very much, and I will just give you a little help this time."

Yu Lian suddenly showed the right touch: "With you providing intelligence support for me, I will be more confident."

Looking at Yu Lian's high-spirited expression, the other party's smile became stiffer, and the corners of his mouth twitched, and he quickly added: "It's just that, well, the embassy has to ensure smooth economic and trade with the alliance. Yes. During the negotiation, uh, it would be great if you could show your gentle side to the world a little bit. Of course, everything is still yours. I just made a little immature suggestion."

"You have to have great national spirit, right?" Yu Lian said thoughtfully.
