MTL - Interstellar Fairy Tale-Chapter 17
February 10, 1128, Galactic Calendar
The presidential election of the Republic of Seth is in full swing. The three candidates, including Liu Xi, are busy giving speeches and winning national votes all day. , but quietly held a meeting of senior generals above the major. Marshal Helu sat at the head of the long table, dressed in a straight marshal's uniform, with a sash draped over his shoulders meticulously, sitting upright, his tough face was serious and full of majesty.
The officers arrived in the conference room one after another, filed to both sides of the long table, and stood in line like javelins, just as they were when they captured the most distant colonial planet under the leadership of Marshal Helu's flagship.
Marshal Herru put his hands flat on the table, and behind him, on the huge widescreen, a picture of the speech of the presidential candidate whose voice was silenced was playing. Marshal Helu stood up, and everyone present put their legs together, raised their right arm, and neatly gave Marshal Helu a traditional military salute for the Space Fleet of the Republic of Seth.
Marshal Helu also raised his right hand, with his five fingers together at the end of his eyebrows, the door of the conference room was closed by the guards, and the inside and outside of the door suddenly became two worlds.
The picture on the widescreen has also changed. Luo Jie, the current commander of the artificial celestial body of Royce, appeared in the picture, and everyone present exclaimed in unison, but it was not for Roger, but the young man standing behind Roger, That face that should have disappeared! As senior officers, they have all been in contact with the search for the Fourth Fleet more or less, and they are naturally no strangers to El Fei's handsome face.
Marshal Helu motioned to his staff, Rhodes, to explain to everyone present.
"As you can see, this is the picture of the message sent back by the artificial celestial body of Royce. In the secret report sent by Commander Roger to the Marshal, he detailed what Captain Elfy said about the encounter with the Fourth Fleet. disaster, and rescue from the Golden Empire fleet..."
Rhode's voice was flat, but very clear, and he gave the most detailed explanation of the report of the Royce artificial celestial body commander word for word. Marshal Helu had already read this report, but it was the first time that most of the people present heard the news from Royce. They looked at each other, almost unable to believe their ears.
"So, the Fourth Fleet was not attacked by external enemies, but was destroyed by a sudden cosmic magnetic storm and meteor shower?"
"How is it possible! Colonel George cannot possibly make such a low-level mistake!"
"According to Captain Elfy, that is the truth."
"No, there must be something wrong with this! How could the entire fleet cease to exist, while Captain Elfy was lucky enough to survive?"
"It seems to be because of the fleet rescue of the Golden Empire?"
"I don't believe it! There is absolutely something wrong with this matter! Damn it, you should also understand how amazing the power of the magnetic storm is! Being involved in this kind of storm, even if it doesn't turn into dust in the universe, it won't be like him. Unscathed!"
"I agree with the lieutenant general. I have been to the place where the Fourth Fleet's accident happened, and there was nothing to find except the wreckage and dust of the battleship!"
…
The debate in the conference room continued, and Marshal Helu pursed his lips tightly, turning a deaf ear to the arguments of the crowd.
"Master Marshal," the staff member Rhodes bent down, "Do you want to continue?"
Marshal Helu nodded, Rhode stood up, and after the argument came to an end, he continued: "In fact, Captain Elfy is not the only survivor, but there are not many people. According to the Golden Empire Space Fleet, after that. Within a month, the injuries of other survivors will be completely healed, and these survivors will also be sent to the Royce artificial celestial body in batches."
The conference room was in chaos again. Marshal Helu frowned, suddenly clenched his fist, and slammed it on the table, "No matter what the other party's goal is, our only choice is to wait! However, I ask you all the time. Be vigilant! The chaos in Seth's country has just subsided, and if trouble arises from this incident again, there's no guarantee that Mars's belligerent guys won't take the opportunity to make trouble!"
"But, Master Marshal, as you said, is the Golden Empire's space fleet really credible?"
"No." Marshal Helu said without the slightest hesitation, "I don't trust anyone except you! However, before the poisonous snake spit out the letter, it is not a wise person's way to take the initiative to provoke. I ask you to wait patiently, and at the same time do not Relax our guard, before we figure out the ultimate purpose of the foreign fleet, all we can do is to ensure the stability of the Republic of Seth, and to be ready to meet foreign enemies at any time!"
After the words fell, Marshal Helu stood up and pressed his right fist to his chest, "As a soldier of the Republic of Seth, we swear to defend our country and our planet, even at the cost of our lives!"
All the senior generals present stood up and loudly replied: "I swear!"
After the meeting of the military, Marshal Helu instructed his staff, Rhodes, to call Liu Xi and invite Liu Xi to have dinner. The place for dinner was in Marshal Helu's lounge on the twenty-ninth floor of the Heart of the Water Capital. During the dinner, in addition to Marshal Helu and Liu Xi himself, only Marshal Helu's staff and Kent who was with Liu Xi were allowed to be present. Even the guards at the door were cut off by soundproof enclosures.
Of course, Liu Xi would not think that Marshal Helu just invited him to dinner on a whim. He could only think that this might be Marshal Helu's gesture again to show the military's support for him. But he didn't expect that when he walked into the lounge, he was not greeted by a sumptuous meal, but a stack of thin documents and pictures from Royce's artificial celestial body on the widescreen.
When Liu Xi learned about the whole thing, his black pupils shrank sharply a few times. He didn't expect that the military department would be able to completely suppress the news on such a big thing without any leakage. This shows how amazing the power network of Marshal Helu is.
"Master Marshal, what do you want me to do?"
"I like talking to smart people, Liu Xi, you are very smart."
Liu Xi put down the document in his hand, and his eyes fell sharply on Marshal Helu's face, "If I didn't have the value of using it, you wouldn't tell me about it at all. Even..." Even if this matter might be related to Seth The survival of the republic.
Yes, live or die!
From the bloodline of Liu Rui, the founder of the country, Liu Xi could immediately infer that the Golden Empire Space Fleet was definitely a bad visitor. Even the surviving Captain Elfy couldn't believe it! If he is Marshal Helu, no, if he is Roger, the commander of the Royce artificial celestial body, he will definitely refuse El Fey to board the Royce artificial celestial body with the visitor of the Golden Empire space fleet at the first time. , even if that might send things in another bad direction.
Marshal Helu did not ignore the anger between Liu Xi's brows. He suddenly felt that perhaps Liu Xi should not be a politician, and the military uniform should be more suitable for him.
However, he needs Liu Xi as a politician now, and maybe he will need it for a long time in the future.
"What you have to do is very simple." Marshal Helu looked at Liu Xi and said, "That is to become the next president of the Republic of Seth."
And then as a shield for the military to control state power?
Liu Xi curled the corners of his lips and narrowed his black eyes. Well, he agreed, just for the sake of the great Republic of Seth. However, if Marshal Helu thought he would be the clown dancing in his palm, he would probably be disappointed.
The two picked up the red wine in front of them and drank it with a crisp clinking sound.
The distant artificial celestial body of Royce, Novi asked to meet Roger, the commander of the celestial body, after finishing the call with Soran Edrich. Novi suddenly proposed to leave, and Roger breathed a sigh of relief after being slightly surprised. Although there is no news from the capital, but after being reminded by his staff, Roger also knows how stupid and careless he is to allow Novi and Captain Elfy to board the artificial celestial body of Royce without verification. Perhaps there has been no large-scale war for a long time, and Roger felt that he must have been hit in the head by a meteorite. At this time, Novi offered to leave, and Roger naturally had no reason to stop him. This Novi, who came from an alien galaxy, always showed extraordinary elegance and wit, but whenever Roger faced those pale, inorganic eyes, he couldn't help but feel a cold aura.
Although Novi left, Captain Elfy remained in the Royce artificial celestial body. Everyone in the celestial body has no doubts about this. In their opinion, Elfie should have belonged here, from the beginning.
This sloppy, unfounded sense of trust will bring them a painful lesson in the near future, which will be unforgettable.
Novi took a small aircraft back to the Golden Empire space fleet fifty light years away from the artificial celestial body of Royce. Accompanying him were Fang Ze, the deputy commander of the Royce artificial celestial body, and two doctors. They were invited by Novi and ordered by Commander Roger to confirm the remaining survivors of the Fourth Fleet.
The small aircraft was completely controlled by the brain. After seeing the huge black fleet up close, Fang Ze and the two doctors couldn't help but gasp. They could not imagine what a giant galloping across the universe would be standing behind such a huge fleet. Novi didn't care about their surprise. In front of him was just a small detachment of His Royal Highness Soran Edrich's fleet. Most of the battleships were hidden behind a meteorite group two hundred light-years away. They were sent to other galaxies to find sources of supplies and to send messages to the Golden Empire at any time. His Royal Highness Solan Edrich has been away from the home planet for a long time, and he really needs to report to His Majesty the Emperor. The deal with Zener Jon on Planet γ allowed the fleet to replenish energy that could span almost half the universe, which made the naturally belligerent soldiers of the Golden Empire all gear up for the task of finding supplies. If Soran Edrich allowed them, they might rush towards the Muse Galaxy like a pack of hungry wolves, but not yet.
The small aircraft landed on one of the huge black flagships, and the three Fang Ze, who came with Novi, were taken to a cold metal room by the popularity of the security check. When she came out, she was asked to change out of her entire suit. Compared with the inspection work on this warship, the security inspection of the Royce artificial celestial body is like a child playing at home.
Fang Ze and the three wanted to protest, but the handsome young man who was in charge of receiving them made them unable to ignite their anger. It was only now that they realized that the soldiers of the Golden Empire they encountered along the way seemed to be the same. He is unparalleled in beauty, and even his words and deeds have a certain aristocratic demeanor.
"Does this country also have to look at their faces when choosing soldiers?"
A doctor said with some exaggeration, and changed his clothes.
Novi and Soran Edrich are reporting in detail the situation of the Royce artificial celestial body, including the current overall civilization level of the Muse galaxy inferred from the celestial body.
"His Royal Highness, I have to emphasize again that although the civilization development of this galaxy is inferior to that of the Golden Empire, it is similar to the first-level leaders of the empire, but the space they occupy is too small and the population is too small. Make them surrender, More than destroying them."
Soran Edrich heard quite interesting, and Novi's story made him want to go to this galaxy to see. Is the head of state elected by the people? Does the people even have the right to impeach the Yang di-Pertuan Agong? If the father knew about this, I wonder if the grumpy emperor his majesty would directly lead the royal fleet under his command to attack.
Well, maybe there is such a possibility.
Novi's report came to an end, and the three people from the Royce celestial body were already waiting in the interview room. The moment they saw Soran Edrich, the three of them almost stopped breathing.
Long silver hair, ice blue eyes, and fair skin that is almost transparent. Against the backdrop of a white and gold military uniform, Soran Edrich is more like a crystal-cut work of art than a person who can breathe and move.
Soran Edrich was in a good mood, with his fingers interlaced on his lap, his long silver hair fell naturally, and the three of them were talking with the same party who could be described as an easy-going attitude. It was just that the dazzled Fang Ze and the three did not notice that in those icy blue eyes, they were no different from the insignificant cosmic dust.
The Kanon military fortress captured the information that the small aircraft left the artificial celestial body of Royce. The fortress commander Terry is now almost a soldier, Crete is not by his side, and no one in the fortress has the courage to persuade the nervous commander. , the Eighth Fleet was immediately transferred by Commander Terry half of the warships to go out for patrol, and the Sixth Fleet must also end the rest period ahead of schedule. The hapless Colonel Edgar was even caught in Commander Terry's command module and temporarily served as Commander Terry's staff.
All right.
Colonel Edgar was very embarrassed and stopped halfway through the call, made an apologetic expression to Shang Ping's electronic plan, and then kissed Shang Ping's face in the air. Even if all he kisses is a list of electronic codes.
"Baby, let's talk next time."
Putting down the phone, Colonel Edgar reluctantly left the lounge. The fortress soldiers behind him looked at the listless back of the Colonel and whispered, "Who was the Colonel chatting with just now? Lover?"
"How is that possible? That electronic simulacrum looks like a teenager."
"But she's a beauty, isn't she?"
"I seem to have heard a second lieutenant from the Sixth Fleet say that the Colonel has an adopted son who is studying at the Madoff Military Academy."
"Oh, that's it. However, how does the Colonel sound like he is talking to his adopted son? My lover is not as gentle as he talks to me."
"No way..."
"It seems like..."
"...a balabalbala of something..."
"...Beasts..."
At this time, Colonel Edgar did not know that the reason why Shang Ping suddenly called him was not without reason. In view of Shang Ping's performance in the single-player fighter simulation practice class has always been among the best, after applying, Shang Ping got the opportunity to go to the military fortress of Canon with the graduates. Although the time was only five short days, it was enough to make the eyes of other young men turn red with envy. The only cadet who received this honor in the same period was Austin South, which made John complain in the dormitory for a whole week.
Shang Ping wanted to tell Colonel Edgar the good news in advance, but he was interrupted halfway through his words. Looking at the black screen of the phone, Shang Ping immediately let go, forget it, let's take it as a surprise for Uncle Edgar.
