138. An admiral fulfills his dream
Sun Wen is now behind the podium used for the celebration, and his side is surrounded by Ito and Lexington, who are in Kaohsiung. Originally www.biquge.info, Fu Yutong and Lei were also waiting behind the scenes to come to the stage together, but he still didn't seem to like such a noisy occasion, and he left after helping Sun Wen verify that the appointment order just now was true and valid. Looking at Fu Yutong, who even Lei couldn't consuade, Sun Wen finally had to let Lei slip away first in order to make Lei not so embarrassed.
The four of them were chatting about the arrangements to come on stage later, and Mizuho also came over with Fuso, and today she rarely wore a gorgeous lilac lace princess dress, with a crystal rose brooch on her chest, and with the enamel ornaments on her neck and ears, the whole person looked different.
Sun Wen looked up and down at the tall Mizuho, who was gorgeously dressed and wearing high heels, and his eyes finally focused on the other party's violet lip gloss, "Admiral Mizuho, I finally know why others call you Liuli, you are so beautiful today!"
Under the surprised gaze of a group of people, Mizuho walked over and held Sun Wen's arms with both hands and made a veneer salute with him, probably because of the lip gloss, she just carefully touched Sun Wen's side face with her cheek close to the cochlea and let go of him, "The name of the glass is not for this reason, just call me Mizuho." Although her words were still so uninteresting, the chill in her tone was much less.
"Then you are also like Ito, just call me Sun Wen. Sun Wen said and nodded at Fusang, this gentle ship girl made him particularly good, although he didn't have much contact, but he was as impressed as Ito Takao, "You sit for a while, the celebration is about to start, if we have time later, let's have a meal?" I also called Fu Yutong and William from the Restoration Society. ”
"I'm afraid you didn't ask us out, right?" Ito said in a meat conversation in front of Lexington regardless of the occasion, "You want to have dinner with Admiral Mizuho, right? Sun Wen can say it when he wants, you see that Admiral Mizuho is here, you know what people are thinking! You are so brave to be the lord of the domain! According to me, ......
The Admiral said a few words. Takao pulled Ito to stop his gibberish, but it couldn't hide the awkward atmosphere caused by Ito's words.
Mizuho stared at Sun Wen, and Fusang behind her looked at Sun Wen with a smile on his face, as if he had a deep meaning. And Lexington also quietly stepped forward and hooked Sun Wen's arm and once again performed his wife's beating of the mistress, not that Lexington was stingy, her thoughts were the same as Saratoga: to protect their admirals for all the sisters in the port area.
Sun Wen looked left and right and didn't know how to speak, and the stage in front of him suddenly erupted into a huge cheer, it turned out that the time for the celebration to start had arrived!
Watching the little goblins walk down from the front desk one after another, Sun Wen just found an excuse to pull Lexington and said, "Let's go!
……
The stage of the celebration is actually just a slightly decorated podium, and the most important place for the so-called celebration is not here, but a snack street on the side. If it weren't for the little goblins who attracted the attention of tourists here before, maybe what Sun Wen saw on the stage at this time was not the crowd crowded with each other on the inner and outer three floors, but the diners who stopped to rest after eating and drinking, right?
Saratoga was a very good master of ceremonies, and when Sun Wen walked out first, he quickly shifted the conversation of the crowd to Sun Wen, the lord of the domain, "Then I would like to invite my admiral, who is also the lord of the Ryukyu domain, Sun Wen, to speak!" With applause and whistles, Saratoga gave up the position in the center that looked like a podium to Sun Wen.
Glancing back at the banner of "Ryukyu Domain, National Day Festival", Sun Wen walked to the middle, looking at the applauding crowd, he knew that most of the past few years have been those tabloid reporters, shopping street merchants invited to cheer, and even spies who listened to the news, "It doesn't matter, just treat them as five hundred fat pigs!" Sun Wen pressed his slightly trembling fingers and silently muttered the secret of Saratoga's speech in his heart, and then slowly spoke:
"Today! an admiral has fulfilled his dream. This wasn't Lexington's speech to him, but for some reason when he said this sentence with a slight tremble, his mood calmed down, "A dream that seems impossible for others to accomplish!" he pointed to his chest and continued, "You may not know what happened to that Admiral Sun Wen, and you may not know how this Miscellaneous Fish Admiral of the 999 Town Guard Mansion got to this point step by step with her only destroyer, Blowing Snow, but you should be able to think that none of this is easy!"
The crowd quieted down, Sun Wen's emotions and the words that sounded like his mouth were full of gossip made everyone concentrate, listening to gossip is everyone's instinct, not to mention that now it is a feudal lord discussing his own gossip.
"He, or me, has experienced too much, seen the admiral who went to sea with the big broken ship mother to be martyred, seen the precarious life of the fishermen, and was even almost sent to the middle island!" Sun Wen said and slapped the table vigorously, then raised his fist and raised it to his chest, "Why is this? Why do you keep demanding to seize more sea areas when the frequency of deep-sea activities has decreased? Why do you keep fighting with the deep sea, with the ship's mother, and even with the same humans?" Why is it that after the night it is still the night, but it does not give us the slightest light?" he said, raising his other hand and making a motion that seemed to pull the horizontal bar, while looking up at the people who had whispered because of his words, but they were silent.
"That's because of desire! That's because of selfishness! That's because there's no end to greed!" Sun Wen shouted as hard as he could, unconsciously he rubbed Lexington's speech and Saratoga's whimsical thoughts into his feelings and words, "That's because without war, without the deep sea, they don't seem to be able to find the meaning of life anymore!" He paused, left the podium, walked to the crowd, stuck his waist and pointed to the floor and continued, "They couldn't find it, but I found it! I, Sun Wen, a Guam hero who was thrown here to retire, have found a way to live away from strife on this island that is not barren but by no means rich!" He said as he stretched out his arms and looked at the people who showed the same yearning as if hugging everyone, "That's understanding!"
"I have a dream that a man on this big island will be able to marry his beloved shipwreck and have children, without being discriminated against, blamed and maliciously from all over the world. ”
"I have a dream that the well-mannered Deep Sea can take resources and buy ingredients from the bosses in the shopping streets, without being hunted, driven away, or spurned for no reason. ”
"I have a dream that one day all people will have their own place, be friendly with each other, and choose trust over doubt when facing problems. ”
"I have a dream that respect, understanding and friendship will always be there for us on this big island, so that even the most chaotic parties can sit down without having to live or die. ”
"I have a dream that justice will always live in each of us, that even the slightest bit of force will not give us back, and that even the slightest bit of kindness will make us cherish. ”
Speaking of this, Sun Wen stopped, and he couldn't hide his excitement as he looked at the people who were cheering excitedly along with the wonderful world he had envisioned. He stretched out his hand and pressed it downward, and when the crowd calmed down a little and was about to speak again, he didn't expect the crowd in front of him to scatter in panic.
It was the northern Qiji who dispersed the crowd, she was holding a sugar apple in one hand and a gale in the other, and there were all kinds of snacks floating behind her, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, probably hearing Sun Wen's movement here, so she jumped to the podium with chickens and dogs all the way: "Admiral, what are you doing? ”
Sun Wen looked around, and those timid and suspicious faces became a little hesitant. After thinking about it for a while, he still didn't care about the speech that seemed to be difficult to continue, but smiled and hugged Beibei and put it on his shoulder, "Where are we going?"
"Over there!" the Admiral is going over there!" Beifang guided Sun Wen to the side of a crying little girl, and then said, "Xianghe's mother said that the good child should be polite, I bumped into you just now, can you take a sugar gourd and eat it?"
"Hey. Sun Wen sighed and pulled off a large string of unsightly signatures on Xiao Hei's body, and then took a colorful lollipop and handed it to the little girl and said, "Little sister, this is the pet dog of the ship's mother, and it is very well-behaved like a little goblin, don't believe you touch it?"
"I, I'm going to touch the leprechaun. The little girl heard the little goblin's cry a little quieter, but she was still very afraid of the dark and round deep-sea beasts.
Sun Wen raised his hand as a gesture, and Xiao Hei, who was used to selling cuteness, immediately stuck out his tongue and barked like a pet, "Wang." "That look is like those pet hedgehogs, and it feels ugly.
Seeing that Sun Wen was teasing Xiao Hei and screaming, the little girl immediately changed her attention and rubbed her eyes and asked, "Uncle, is he really well-behaved?"
"Just like a critter, if you don't hurt it, it won't hurt you. Saying that, Sun Wen handed Xiao Hei over under Xiao Bei's constant head grabbing warnings. It can only be said that Xianghe is well trained, and Xiao Hei was touched by the happy little girl, but he didn't show any aggression at all, and even highlighted his tongue like a pet licking the back of the little girl's hand.
Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the little girl, Sun Wen smiled apologetically at the young mother, and then said to Beibei, who was pulling his hair: "Don't be angry in the north, let Xiao Hei play with her for a while, and the Admiral will accompany you to go shopping and eat." ”
"No! I'm going to play with Shock!"
"Then how do you eat?" Sun Wen smiled dotingly, even if he was angry, Beifang Qiji was like a child who would only be coquettish and make conditions.
"Then ......" Beibei thought for a moment, looked at his hand holding the apple candy and the gale, and then puffed out his mouth angrily and kicked his legs in disregard and said, "I don't care, I want it." ”
"Okay, okay, I'll feed you, okay?"
Sun Wen was teasing the northern Qihime, but he didn't notice that the crowd was leaning over a little bit, and the bold people approached Sun Wen and heard the conversation between the two, most of them showed disbelief and shocked expressions, followed by fanaticism and yearning, everyone is not a fool, just like Mizuho said, where there is no threat from the deep sea, it must be heaven for them, and Sun Wen's behavior seems to tell them, "Ryukyu is that paradise." ”
"Admiral Sun Wen, no! Lord Sun Wen, your speech is not finished! It is a wonderful speech, and it will be a great pity for us journalists if it ends without a problem!"
A voice interjected, Sun Wen turned his head and realized that there was still someone bold enough to stand beside Qi Ji in the north, looking at this young man dressed like a wild explorer but wearing a naval military cap, he asked suspiciously, "Are you?"
"Xiaosheng's surname is Dan Aoba, and he is the editor-in-chief and reporter of "Declassified News" and the proofreader of the edition. Dan Qingye said, took out a business card from the cartridge strap on his chest and stuffed it to Sun Wen, and then smiled, "None of this is important, can you please continue your speech?" As his words gradually became harmonious, the northern Qiji let them really see the dream in Sun Wen's mouth, so they were plagued by the war and desperately hoped that the person who said this dream could bring them more things.
"There's nothing more to say, isn't it?" Sun Wen shook his head, "I'm sorry I promised to accompany the north to play, so let's go shopping too." It's a good day, but let's have fun!"
"Lord Sun Wen, can you please summarize your speech?" It was Dan Qingye who spoke, he was holding a notebook in one hand and a pen in the other, and his eyes were shining at Sun Wen.
Looking at Shan Qingye's expression, Sun Wen couldn't help but laugh out loud, because he thought of another person, or another ship girl: Aoba. "Okay, okay. Reporter Dan, you really look like an Aoba from the gendarmerie I know! This kind of stubborn character really makes people laugh and cry. Saying that, Sun Wen cleared his throat before he came up with his thoughts:
"I just want to say......" Sun Wen said and stopped, he looked around at the crowd of anticipation, and finally he focused his gaze on the small hands that shook above his head from time to time, "Today, a commander has fulfilled his dream!"
