In June of SC0103, seeing that his 22nd birthday was approaching, Fengyu had been resting in DT3 for a month. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After the end of the E4 campaign, there was a brief ceasefire on the DT3 front. Such a large-scale military operation is a huge supply and economic pressure for both New Asia and the UAC.

Although Feng Yu has not yet crossed the threshold of the "Ship Slashing Hall of Fame", his prestige in the E4 campaign has spread all over the front line, and becoming one of the strongest stream-of-consciousness ace pilots is a nightmare in the hearts of all UAC warships.

The image of the aqua blue mobile suit holding two extended aqua energy blade slashers once again appears on the recruitment advertisement of New Asia, with a UAC supernova capital ship exploding in the background. This unfortunate battleship that became the background was the flagship of the UAC fleet that he sank outside the counterclockwise air port of the E4 base, which was also the legendary blow that became known as the "E4 Slash", and the key blow in the reversal of the battle.

As for the heroic resistance of the 10th Fleet of the Space Force, it was made into a documentary, which was broadcast on demand on major media platforms.

As the hero fleet of the E4 Campaign, the 10th Fleet returned to the Tianjing Star Domain for commendation and reorganization after handing over the garrison task of the E4 Star Field to the First Mobile Fleet of the Space Force. Although the size of the fleet was less than one-third of what it was at full capacity at this time, there was no doubt that this fleet could not be dismantled, and there was even a possibility that it would be overnumbered.

The young men of the Republic are proud to join the 10th Fleet and want to be a part of this heroic fleet. The number of recruits who signed up to become iron ball pilots has exploded again, and countless young people who are eager to become ace pilots have forgotten the high mortality rate of iron ball, and only have the chic and domineering posture of Mobile Suit WS in their eyes.

The final negative impact of the "Stormgate" incident was completely eliminated, and the military did not want the heroes of the E4 campaign to carry such a stain on their bodies, and secretly used means to remove some of the remaining traces of the "Stormgate" incident two years ago. The military department has also discussed with Fengyu the issue of changing the codename, hoping to draw a clear line between Fengyu and the "Storm Gate" through this method. Helplessly, Fengyu has already looked down on these, and he likes the code name "Storm" very much, and insists on continuing to use it.

During this period, Vice Admiral Patten of the 10th Fleet once again applied to the military department to let Fengyu join the fleet while the iron was hot, but unfortunately the conservative forces in the military were unanimously opposed, and the main battle faction was not monolithic, and all front-line fleets wanted to get Fengyu. In addition, the military department also further realized that Fengyu should not be limited to a certain fleet through the E4 campaign, and placed in DT3 as a mobile force directly under the military headquarters can play its role. So the matter was finally settled.

Feng Yu himself is not averse to joining the 10th Fleet, this fleet has a great appetite for him, but this time the military department does not intend to ask for his personal wishes, and he does not even have a chance to express his position.

His fate with the 10th Fleet passed by.

At this time, more than four years have passed since the DT3 Guard Battle at the end of SC0098, and the expeditionary force air port that was once destroyed by the UAC has been rebuilt as a Space Force outpost, and the DT3 theater fleet stationed at the base has also changed its number to the 12th Space Force Fleet, which is still led by Vice Admiral Kim Tae-eun. As for Vice Admiral Li Rui, he stepped down from the post of deputy commander of the fleet and assumed the post of commander of the base.

However, as the commander of the outpost of the Space Force, although Li Rui does not have a fleet in his hands, he is responsible for the coordination of the fleets on the DT3 frontline, and Fengyu's liaison office is also under his command, which can be regarded as returning to the original commander.

It's just that Fengyu has been very busy before, and every time he returns to the DT3 outpost, he hasn't been able to stay for long, and basically leaves on the same day, so he hasn't had the opportunity to meet his old boss. In fact, Feng Yu didn't want to see Vice Admiral Li Rui in his heart, seeing this former commander of the expeditionary fleet would remind him of Li Xingyan.

Li Rui also understood what kind of past the popular "Storm" colonel had with his daughter, but he didn't plan to meet him to stimulate him. His work is also very busy, although it is all transactional things, and he has no chance to devote himself to the front-line battle, but it is also his duty anyway, and if he is not conscientious, I am afraid that he can only go back to Tianjing to retire.

It's just that Fengyu has been in the outpost for the past month, and it is almost impossible to avoid it.

This afternoon, after the routine simulator training, Feng Yu walked alone on the street of the outpost, there is also a multi-purpose restaurant here, although the scale and style are not as good as the "right eyelashes" of "Tianjing's right eye", after all, the things in the capital star field are always superior, but the coffee here is not bad at all. As a star field very close to Taiya WH, there are many merchant ships that pass through here every year, and they also bring special products from various star fields. The Blue Mountain coffee at this restaurant is quite good, and it is a pure local specialty.

Fengyu often comes here to sit and drink coffee. He's not so much here to taste the coffee as he's here to taste the memories. The sour, bitter and bitter aroma of Blue Mountain coffee perfectly interprets his encounters over the years, full of the taste of memories, so that he sits quietly in the window seat every time, while drinking coffee, while watching the artificial sunlight on the street, while reminiscing about the youth that is slowly passing.

Luo Yunxi knew Fengyu's habits, but never bothered him. She understands Brother Xiaofeng, as a Gemini, she has loneliness in her heart that she doesn't want to say, and she has times when she wants to face memories alone. Unforgettable memories can't be erased, Luo Yunxi has never imagined that she can make Fengyu forget those pains, she just wants to rely on her own efforts to make Brother Xiaofeng's future a little sweeter and happier.

It's just that this afternoon, Feng Yu was still disturbed, because he saw someone he didn't want to see in the restaurant - Lieutenant General Li Rui. Apparently the recent truce had given the outpost commander a rare break to sit in such a casual place.

After discovering Li Rui, Fengyu couldn't pretend not to see it, after all, the other party was still his boss in name, and the relationship between the two was actually not bad. So he walked over to say hello and then went back to his old seat by the window and sat down.

The problem is that Lieutenant General Li Rui suddenly had the interest to talk to Fengyu today, so he beckoned him to sit down, "There is news that you will soon be promoted to brigadier general." In the next battle, as long as you get another number of ships to be killed and enter the 'Hall of Fame', the military department can justifiably compensate you for the glory you deserve. ”

Feng Yu nodded nonchalantly, by this time, he no longer had the motivation to climb up as before. The reason why I fought so hard before was completely to have an identity and status that could be commensurate with Li Xingyan's maternal background, but now everything has lost its original meaning. He's just a simple new Asian soldier, fighting to defend his homeland and country, glory or something, take your time.

Seeing that Fengyu refused to speak, Li Rui continued, "Actually, some things are not as beautiful as you imagined. Love and marriage are two different things entirely. If you really had the opportunity to be with Xingyan at the beginning, I'm afraid it would be even more painful now. ”

Feng Yu was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but stare at Li Rui's eyes, wanting to hear his further explanation.

Li Rui was also open, and he didn't say only half of his words, "I think you also know the situation of the Xia family, it is a very pragmatic family, and everything is based on interests." It's not easy to be her son-in-law, I'm from the past, and the pressure is not something you can experience. ”

"How?" After all, Fengyu is only a 22-year-old young man, and he doesn't know much about marriage, he has never thought that people who love each other should get married and come together to be successful.

"Distance produces beauty, and the love that passes by is probably the most beautiful. Once you become a member of that ugly family, the pain of not being able to help yourself will only make you suffer and even regret the marriage. Li Rui's face showed a look of remembrance, "I was also young, and I used to love." At that time, Xingyan's mother was so beautiful that I couldn't extricate myself. But...... After getting married, everything was not what I imagined. ”

"Will people who love each other be unhappy when they get married?" Fengyu was even more puzzled and asked.

"You will only be happy if you are with someone who is right for you, such as the little follower next to you." Li Rui showed an ambiguous smile, and the little follower in his mouth obviously referred to Luo Yunxi, "The gap between family backgrounds is too big, there is no weight in talking after marriage, there is no self in life, and I even have to turn a blind eye to some unacceptable things." ”

"What needs to be turned a blind eye?" The more Feng Yu listened, the more confused he became, married life was indeed too strange to him.

For this question, Li Rui was silent for a long time, looked at Fengyu's clear, sincere and simple eyes, and finally revealed a little, "Xia's is not clean......"

Feng Yu is a smart person, although simple, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know how to think, in fact, as a Gemini, cranky thinking is what he is best at. The so-called "Xia is not clean" is nothing more than several possibilities, such as black-box operations for the exchange of interests with the military and political circles, such as smuggling arms, and communicating with foreign countries. Maybe it's all there, maybe there's something darker.

As Xia's son-in-law, Li Rui must know more or less, but he can only turn a blind eye and pretend not to know. As a soldier, the sense of honor and national concept should be the strongest, and the behavior of businessmen with no lower limit must be disgusted from the heart. But he loved Li Xingyan's mother, so he had to help hide it and had to endure all this.

What's worse is that with the defeat of the Battle of Taiya, his status in the army declined, he lost the command of the fleet, became the commander of the base, and became an unpopular person in the eyes of the Xia family, and the bitterness in his heart can be imagined, and even the relationship with Li Xingyan's mother may be broken.

These are exactly what Li Rui wants Fengyu to understand. Although Li Xingyan is his daughter, he also hopes that his daughter will have true love and good karma, but he knows better that Fengyu is indeed not suitable.

It's just a passing relationship, just keep it as a memory.
