MTL - Interstellar Fairy Tale-Chapter 30

The Mars people believe in force, just as some people in history have been religious. Although they know that force is not omnipotent, with the economic foundation and the long sleeves of politicians, soldiers and warships can exert their greatest power. However, this kind of faith-like emotion will not hinder the further development of Mars. On the contrary, it is the existence of powerful force, as the backing of economic strength and the support of political means, that Mars will replace the first planet. Three planets, gamma, dominated the Muse galaxy for hundreds of years.

The people of Mars are not arrogant, but they are accustomed to victory in war. In the concept of Mars, war exists for the sake of victory. In the long-term exploration of alien galaxies, Mars battleships and powerful soldiers have also thoroughly implemented this concept.

It is conceivable that when the news of the defeat came back to Hercules, the people who heard it would be shocked.

The Commander of the Sixth Fleet, Colonel Edgar, and the Commander of the Eighth Fleet, Colonel Hansen, can both be called constant victories! Although it is not the dominance of this war, it is really hard to believe that the two fleets with extremely strong combat effectiveness will be defeated so badly.

David Soth was sitting in Chief Executive Martin's office, and the two powerful figures on the planet Mars were also frowning deeply.

"Unbelievable." Martin clasped his hands on the edge of his chin. "David, if the people knew this news, how would they react?"

"Even so, what should be done should be done, and what should be announced must not be concealed in the slightest."

David South looked at Martin with a serious face. Compared to Martin, David, who got the news one step earlier, seemed more calm.

"Martin, I know your consideration as a consul. First of all, you must understand that we are from Mars, and this is the capital of Mars, Hercules. The buck-passing and concealment of facts like the politicians of Seth are both Inadvisable and utterly stupid. Besides, the people of Mars have the ability and courage to endure this. A defeat will inspire the courage of the warriors."

"Even that courage can't buy victory?"

"Yes."

"All right."

Martin sighed, stood up, and turned his back to the large French windows. The afterglow of the setting sun spilled into the room through the tempered glass. Martin stood under this light orange light, and his whole body was covered with a soft light that was not dazzling. gosh.

Just like his appearance, without a trace of aggression, it is hard to believe that this bookish man has a magma-like personality under the surface, and can compete with David South.

In terms of appearance, the current President of the Republic of Seth, Liu Xi, is more suitable for the position of Chief Executive of Mars.

Of course, this is just an assumption.

"Martin, what are you going to do?"

"I can't hide it, most of it won't be good news. Sometimes it really makes me embarrassed."

There was a wry smile on the corner of Martin's mouth, and he could already expect to face dozens of microphones. Thinking about the grand occasion of the presidential election of the Republic of Seth some time ago, I was a little envious of the handsome young president at that time, but now I am replaced by myself, but I don't feel very happy.

David South is not worried that Martin will tell the whole thing without any scruples. The truth is important, but it is easier for the people to accept it. Martin is used to doing this kind of thing, but David is not. Otherwise, the current positions of the two are likely to be swapped.

Early the next morning, the news of the defeat of the Sixth Fleet and the Eighth Fleet appeared on the front pages of newspapers and news. As expected by David and Martin, after the initial shock, the Mars people really showed a higher fighting spirit and passion. They don't even think about the reason for this defeat, or the cause of the war, they only care about the defeat of Colonel Edgar and Colonel Hansen, and when the images of Edgar and Hansen appear on the screen, they are enthusiastic High again.

"One defeat doesn't mean anything. Two worthy colonels have won ninety-nine wars before, and this defeat will not be tainted by this defeat. On the contrary, after Colonel Edgar put some soldiers in order to Covering the departure of other warships, when facing an enemy more than ten times their own without hesitation, all the citizens are crying and weeping for these venerable victims, this is the Mars soldier, no, we should say, this is the Mars Sis!"

The **** female anchor with snowy skin and red lips can't hide her exquisite curves even in a military uniform. The voice that should be sweet, with a dash of hoarseness.

Shang Ping sat in front of the screen with his back to John who was leaning against the bed. After rising to the senior year, Shang Ping got the opportunity to apply for a single-person dormitory because of his outstanding performance in the actual combat exercise of the Canon military fortress, but unexpectedly chose to stay in the current dormitory. Austin had already moved into a single dorm at the beginning of the semester. Not only because of his performance in the Canon military fortress, but also because of Austin's excellent performance in various subjects in his studies at the Military Academy. Compared with him, Shang Ping, who only focused on academic courses and was a mess in shooting and melee combat, was not so prominent.

"John, is this beauty your aunt?"

"Yeah. But Shang Ping, isn't it time to pay attention to whether she is my relative?"

"how?"

"Don't you care about Colonel Edgar? He didn't look very good just now."

"Being on TV for such disgraceful reasons, I don't think most people's faces will look good."

"Is that the point?"

"Isn't it?" Shang Ping turned his head to the side and squinted at John, "Don't you want to hear me say 'Uncle Edgar lost the battle, I'm so worried! I'm so sad! I'm so depressed! I miss it so much now Just use my tender shoulders to comfort Uncle Edgar's bruised and fragile soul'? Dream about it."

"...Shang Ping, I want to beat you."

"If you don't worry about my revenge, please do it yourself."

Shang Ping shrugged indifferently, and turned his attention back to the screen. The news program is coming to an end, and the people who appear on the screen are no longer the spokesperson of the military department or relevant government personnel. Photographers and reporters take to the streets, and almost all of the pictures are indignant citizens of Mars. All the men, including the veterans, seemed ready for the next battle that was coming.

"Public opinion control? Or some kind of power trick? It seems that although the Mars people are keen on military affairs, their political means are not at all inferior to those of the Si people, maybe even more."

Shang Ping held his chin and said sarcastic words. John simply grabbed his jacket, he'd seen what he should have seen anyway, and instead of staying with this guy who was clearly in a bad mood and enduring the horrible attack of a venomous tongue, he'd rather go to the one-man fighter practice room to pass the time. However, what made John Jonathan very depressed was that after walking out of the bedroom, he met Austin head-on. The two equally young lads looked at each other blankly, and John's rib that was broken last time was aching again.

Shang Ping in the dormitory had no idea what was happening just across the door. Still lying on the chair watching TV. It would be a complete lie to say that Shang Ping was not worried about Colonel Edgar, but Shang Ping, who had lived with Colonel Edgar for fifteen years, did not think that just one defeat would defeat this man. Edgar may like to joke, or he may not show all the seriousness and integrity like Colonel Hansen, but Shang Ping knows better than anyone that this tall man is unyielding and tenacious.

Look, despite the defeat this time around, Daddy Long Legs may have already started planning how to beat the enemy next time.

But why did Uncle Edgar lose?

Shang Ping lowered his eyes and fell into contemplation.

capital of the republic of seth

In the president's office in the heart of the water capital, Liu Xi looked at the report in front of him with a cold expression. Confidential Secretary Kent stood in front of him, mechanically reporting the news he had just received: "...Royce Artificial Celestial Body has declared its independence at 0:00 today, including the former celestial body commander Roger, and its adjutant Affleck, His subordinates, Captain Karan, Captain Gerd, Lieutenant Ruth, Lieutenant Xu... All eighteen officers died in the line of duty, and the Ninth Fleet and the Celestial Permanent Army were also killed in the battle. Now they occupy the artificial celestial body of Royce, and The surviving officers and soldiers of the former Fourth Fleet, headed by Captain Elfy, have announced that they are attached to the Golden Empire. Marshal Helu of the Military Department has been investigating these survivors, and I believe there will be more accurate news soon. Above."

Kent's final voice fell, Liu Xi took off his silver-rimmed glasses and let out a chuckle.

"Your Excellency?"

"No, it's nothing." Liu Xi shook his head and looked at Kent, "I just find it funny, it seems that from the very beginning, we have fallen into some invisible trap, the other party has obviously already laid many traps, just wait As we cast ourselves into the net. You see, the disappearance of the Fourth Fleet, the sudden visit of the Golden Fleet, the war caused by far-fetched excuses, the defeated Combined Fleet, until Royce declared independence, one link after another, so precise, obviously It's not an impromptu intention. Maybe even Roger's stupidity and indecision were counted by them. This time Marshal Helu will have more headaches than me. After all, the loss of the Ninth Fleet and the loss of the Royce Celestial Body, as a palm A soldier who has real power and is very conceited, Marshal Helu still maintains his sense of reason, which really makes me very admire."

Liu Xi poured out what he thought in one breath, and felt a lot more relaxed, but Kent's expression became more solemn.

"Your Excellency, please be careful."

"All right."

Liu Xi wiped off the unnecessary dust on his glasses and put them on again, blocking the sharp light in those black eyes.

"Although I don't like Marshal Helu's increasingly arrogant appearance, as President Seth, I need to do my part."

"Your Excellency?"

"Let's arrange a press conference, and at the same time, send a diplomatic letter to Marshal David of Mars. I hope to have a face-to-face meeting with him in the near future. The location is up to him."

"Your Excellency, please consider carefully! Meeting the Marshal Space Fleet Commander is not as simple as you said."

"That's why the diplomatic letter is needed, isn't it?"

Liu Xi stood up, completely ignoring Kent's ugly face, walked to the window and looked down at the large square in front of the heart of the water capital, "Kent, as a Sais person, I must do my best. I love mine My motherland, I love my home planet, and it's not just words. Just like the dead Shesha, I fight for power and even play the dirty tricks of politicians, not for myself."

"...Yes, Your Excellency."

Just as Mars and Seth were also busy dealing with the consequences of this defeat, the remote Royce artificial celestial body, many Seth people numbly accepted what Captain Elfy said after the initial panic. "coexistence".

The "interstellar visitors who bring peace" as Elphie said have also entered the Royce artificial celestial body one after another not long ago. Of course, a part of the Golden Empire space fleet remained on the edge of the interstellar channel, alerting the Kanon military fortress in the same channel. Although the military fortress did not really pose a threat to them, after seeing the performance of the Mars people on the battlefield, these warriors of the Golden Empire's space fleet began to face up to these Muse galaxy humans who were despised by them.

But until now, only the Mars people have received this honor. As for the Seth people, they are still classified as stupid and useless cowards and rabble.

Soran Edrich's flagship landed on the open-air tarmac of the Royce artificial celestial body, and the huge black battleship door slowly rose. Soran, accompanied by several heartfelt subordinates such as Novi and Ida, walked down. After the battleship, set foot on the land of the artificial celestial body of Royce.

This stunning beauty praised by the stars, with long silver hair flying in the night wind, and ice blue eyes as clear as crystal, just standing there quietly is enough to make all praise words boring. All the soldiers of the Golden Empire who greeted him closely followed his figure. The first prince is the gift of the most dazzling star in the universe to the Golden Empire. He is powerful and perfect. He will definitely lead the Golden Empire to another glory. They All will be given to His Highness until they die.

Even the Seth people who stayed in the artificial celestial body of Royce had to admit that Soran Edrich in front of them was as moving as a hymn.

Perhaps this man from a distant galaxy is as cruel as a devil, but even his enemies cannot deny his arrogance and charm.

Soran Edrich may be aware of this, or he may have deliberately ignored it. Even if he walked onto the teleportation bridge with a breath of ice and snow all over his body, the soldiers on both sides still shouted, "Long live Your Highness! Long live the Golden Empire!"

Among them, the voices of many Seth people were mixed.

Solan turned a deaf ear, while Novi raised his eyebrows and exchanged glances with Ida. It was interesting, wasn't it?

The teleportation bridge sent Solan and his party into the celestial body, and finally stopped in front of the brain control room that controlled the entire celestial body. Soran Edrich walked into the intelligent brain control room of the Royce artificial celestial body with a little interest, looked at the rows of operating consoles and the fluorescent screens in front of him, and said, "Novi, seeing this, I All the more certainty how stupid the commander of this celestial body is. He won't even use the resources at his disposal."

"Yes, Your Highness." Novi replied respectfully, "Because of this, this galaxy needs a wise new owner."
