Yu Lian said that it was indeed the first time he (at least in his life) that he had encountered such a difficult guy to communicate, and even on the battlefield, in the face of enemies like Hesson and Kazhan, he could at least talk a few words.

Yu Lian, who had always been very confident in his communication skills, was very shocked, so after the next ten minutes, he just walked numbly with Yang Xiyi and came to the officer's cafeteria.

The size of the dining room is not particularly large, but most of the officers should be on their respective ships, and there are not many people dining. The colonel pulled Yu Lian to find a fairly secluded place to sit down, and then said, "Don't mind, Yu Lian, he doesn't hate you, but just hates the 'moon people' or the 'elite bureaucracy'." ”

"Of course I can understand the old-fashioned character who has progressed from a soldier to a senior general. It's just that old-fashioned people can't always tell the difference between stubbornness and perseverance. But I really didn't expect that, Mr. Yang, you, a thick-eyed and big-eyed person, would fall so quickly......"

Yang Xiyi didn't hear it, but just greeted the passing orderly: "Old rules!" I also need a bottle of brandy, and the rest, you can just look at it. ”

The orderly soldier saluted and left, and Yang Xiyi said again:

"So, you're in for a treat. Because of the presence of veterans like Admiral Perris who have survived the Revolutionary War, the Outer Ring Fleet and the Outer Ring Military District have always been the most demanding in the whole army. The training intensity is 996, and the meals only ensure the necessary nutritional value, and the taste is indescribable. Only on Saturday nights can you have a big meal, and you can drink all kinds of sweets and drinks, and there is also alcohol. And it must be something you can't help but taste......"

"The so-called special athlete's pot, right? The future of the community, the future of the outer ring fleet, we can talk while eating, right? Yu Lian sneered.

"Of course, if you really want to talk, I can talk to you too, just think of it as a chat." Yang Xiyi said with a smile.

Faced with such an old fritter who was so depraved that he couldn't eat oil and salt, and his face was thicker than the city wall, Yu Lian's heart was full of sadness, and even the big pot of fragrant main dishes that had just been served couldn't make him happy.

"Come, this is the characteristic of our Outer Ring Military Region, a pot of athletes representing courage and enthusiasm!" Yang Xiyi poured himself and Yu Lian a glass of wine, and stuffed the latter with a chopstick.

“…… Isn't it just all kinds of big meat stewed? ”

"It's different! It's not at all! The soup was filled with star sand grass from the New Jade Gate, as well as red stone salt and wild peppers from the Light Swamp Star. With these, the meat of the new jade gate's marblecock, the jasper shark of the water blue star, and the big mud snake of the light swamp star can be stewed together without smelling. In comparison, beef, pork and mutton are just auxiliary materials. You can't eat this bite on Earth, and these ingredients alone are terrifyingly expensive. ”

Indeed, the maroon broth is quite layered, and the completely discolored beef cubes, pork ribs and lamb slices look appetizing. Compared with the snow-white lines of the jasper shark and the red flesh of the big mud snake, it can indeed only be regarded as a side dish.

Oh, and there's still muscular slab meat in there, but it's been overlooked. Yu Lian said that he, like his senior sister, is a staunch charcoal grilling party. A sand rat without charcoal roasting must not be a good stake and is a crime against the resources of the entire universe.

"Eat such a pot, not to mention 996, even if it is half a year of moon, moon, fire, water, wood, gold, and gold, it's no problem! This is the root of the enthusiasm and courage of the athletes in the outer ring! Hence the name. Yang Xiyi introduced.

Yu Lian's index finger was wide open, and he took a large piece of jasper shark's meat, and was just about to move his mouth, when he saw a person "happeningly" passing by their table, secretly observed, and then walked over with a face full of enthusiasm and joy.

"Oh, Colonel Young, are you dining here today? Why don't you notify the lower officials? ”

Yu Lian noticed that Yang Xiyi had already turned the wine glass in his hand in a circle, sighed covertly, put down the fish that had not yet been stuffed into his mouth, and stood up to salute; And Colonel Yang Xiyi got up and shook hands with the other party: "Bring the former students to taste our characteristics, you are so busy, how can you bother?" Yu Lian, this is Major Horn, the chief staff officer of the fleet logistics, and the chief steward of the fleet headquarters! ”

"Hey, it's just a handyman who does some communication between the logistics department and the headquarters, and you're polite." He waved his hand embarrassedly, and then looked at Yu Lian with a "surprise" gaze: "So, this is your student?" Heck, that must be the moon man, right? What a talent, the future must be the pillar of our army! Just like you, Colonel, after all, a famous teacher makes a high apprentice. ”

Major Horn was about 40 years old, and he was already a little fat, so the military uniform was not in shape on him. His temperament can also be seen from the conversation just now, a greasy and sleek, able to say all kinds of workplace communication terms without changing his face, and being the leader of the social animal team of middle-level management. These business polite words are hypocritical and routine, which will not make people look up to you, but at least they will not offend people.

Of course, the upper limit of such a person's career is probably only the captain of the social animal squad.

He invited Yang Xiyi to take Yu Lian to his table for a few drinks, but the latter hurriedly excused himself. The two colonel-level officers, who had become completely social and animalistic, that is, did not look like soldiers, pushed each other in a very patterned manner, and exchanged a bunch of kind words, and finally left with Major Horn's farewell.

“…… Don't look at me like that. I've said it all, it's all about life! He drank the brandy from the glass with great sorrow, and then turned the glass around and laid it on the table.

"Don't you see that my eyes are full of longing and admiration? Your ability to survive and adapt is truly awe-inspiring to students. Plus, it's not sarcasm. ”

"Major Horn is the Director of Logistics and a member of the General Staff. He also said just now, he is responsible for the communication between the headquarters and the logistics department, hey, to put it bluntly, we combat staff officers look very glamorous outside, but when the Mid-Autumn Festival divides moon cakes, we don't want to take five kernels, we have to rely on him to help! Of course, he is also a good person, and everyone gets along very well. This is the world of adults! You don't understand, do you? ”

"Wuren's actually accepted the setting seriously, and it was quite delicious."

"Is this Wuren's problem? I don't know if you can actually eat five kernels? ”

"No, I just want to say that Wuren can't always be killed by wind reviews! Everyone is a member of the moon cake family, and they are all treasures of my East Asian Celestial Empire culture. ”

"I'm just making an analogy, what does this have to do with the incompleteness of culture without whom? What is the big family of mooncakes? You just make up a song and forget it! ”

"No, I'm just saying that you can't just make a joke about Wuren. Isn't it fashionable now that everything in the universe has a spirit? They know it's going to be sad. ”

Yang Xiyi looked at Yu Lian with a stiff expression, Mu Ran was silent for a long time, and suddenly took the plate and wanted to buckle it on his head. Yu Lian hurriedly grabbed it: "Teacher Yang, don't be like this, Teacher Yang!" ”

The two tugged for a long time, and the colonel finally regained a little bit of his senses.

"Just kidding. Isn't it worth the loss that your survivability has gone up, but your sense of humor has actually decreased? ”

Yang Xiyi squinted his eyes, ate a large plate of meat and drank all the brandy, and while turning the wine glass, he said slowly in a half-drunk tone: "Okay, I know you because I don't accept your nonsense...... Uh, your opinion, Your Excellency the General doesn't have a good face, so you hold your breath. Young people are strong-blooded, I understand. But how can I say that I am also a member of the fleet command, I don't want to lose face? ”

Yu Lian saw that the wine glass in the other party's hand turned twice, then filled it for the other party again, and said with a smile: "The spirit of the universe can testify, I have always respected the teacher very much." ”

"Hmph, then tell me about it, why do you think the Kaitai people will do something to us? You can't even convince me, so why convince Admiral Perris? ”

"You just said that I don't need to convince you, I just need to convince the commander...... Hey, forget it. As I have also said, this must start with the historical process of Kaitai people in the past few decades. He has always been the most loyal pawn of the Empire, and in the War of Independence, thousands of fleets were annihilated by our formation, and millions of people were killed and wounded, and he has long formed a feud with us. And this β system of Gibraltar is also the territory that we cut from the Kingdom of Kaitai. Originally, I thought that it was just an uninhabited galaxy of low value, which could be used as a buffer between the territories of the two countries, and the other party pinched its nose and agreed. But who would have thought that a star gate would open here! ”

Yang Xiyi was silent and continued to turn the wine glass.

"The Kaitai people are a well-known fighting race in the galaxy, and the basic plate that really dominates their country is the claw class, the so-called military aristocracy. The Scarlet-Mane royal family was founded on conquest and warfare, and it was through martial virtue that they maintained their authority among the clawed class. If a treasure like Stargate, which can determine the fortunes of a population and a regime, is allowed to fall into the hands of foreign enemies, the domestic mind will have to be divided. As it is, the military aristocracy of the Young Zhuang faction of the Cathay has formed a Brotherhood of Steel Teeth, under the leadership of the most radical of the most radical princes, Prince Charron Scarlet, who has been clamoring for all-out war with us. ”

Yang Xiyi sneered: "The Kaitai people said that they were going to start an all-out war with us twenty years ago, but there has been no movement until now. It's not that they haven't thought about retaking this galaxy, and all kinds of border conflicts have not stopped in the past twenty years. This is also the biggest reason for the existence of the Outer Ring Fleet and the Outer Ring Military District. However, decades have passed since the Galactic War, so how can an all-out war between the great powers happen? ”

"Really? But in the past 20 years, we have been in Wentian Wuxi, and they have been preparing for war! The tonnage of battleships and capital ships have climbed to sixth place in the galaxy. The Hyperion is a famous galactic ship with great achievements, but it is also an old ship that has been in service for more than 20 years. The Kaitai people on the other side are building a lot of money, and last year alone, they launched two battle cruisers and two aircraft carriers, and they also bought an old dreadnought from the imperial father. In March last year, Charlen Scarlet's Mane staged a coup d'état in their capital with the help of their steel-toothed brothers, killing a large number of stable ministers. Now, the Young Zhuang faction has taken power. It's not surprising that the angry hot-blooded young people have taken control of the country's politics! ”

Yang Xiyi fell silent again, but his face was still full of banter, obviously not listening.

"As I said, just strip the tiger skin of the community. Do you really think that the current Community government has the heart and mind to wage an all-out war with the Cathes, or even the empire behind them? They don't need to annihilate us, they just need to raid us, defeat us, and take the starport. Then, the Empire can step in as a mediator. In the end, there is a good chance that our country will compromise, and they will at least be able to share the stargate with us. ”

Well, on the earth where Yu Lian lived in his previous life, there was an island country that did just that. Encroaching step by step, inch by inch, testing the bottom line of the target country again and again, the result is really oily and slippery.

Yu Lian pondered for a while, and then said: "Besides, the land, resources and population of the Kaitai people are limited, and this kind of first-time politics has lasted for more than ten years, and it has reached its limit. Some time ago, during the siege of Tulong, the compass trading company transferred to the Shamin tank, but it has a strong Kaitai style. Then, there was the tentative aggression of those three destroyers. This could not be more obvious than a signal of war. In this case, the Kaitai began to assemble a large army on the opposite side, and Charron Scarlete personally commanded the Praetorian Fleet to set off, was it just for a small border conflict, or was it an exercise? Doesn't the drill cost money? But those big cats are short of money now! ”

All of the above is, of course, not Yu Lian's thinking, but the result of the analysis of all parties in later generations. Although it is hindsight, it is the result of the wisdom of the crowd after all, and it is also reasonable and logical.

Yu Lian felt that it was okay to at least convince the majority of the onlookers.

"Teacher Yang, we have to give up our illusions and prepare to fight!" He added.

Yang Xiyi was silent for a few seconds, but suddenly "poof", and then laughed hahaha.

"Don't care, don't care, Yu Lian, I remembered that when you were so serious, you also had this expression when you contradicted Vice Principal Robnan. Ahahahaha! After talking for more than ten minutes, it was obviously nonsense, but it sounded quite reasonable. But, you're useless in front of me. I am the chief of the intelligence staff of the fleet, and I am responsible for the millions of officers and men of the entire fleet and even the entire military region. What I need is proof, you know? Solid proof! And not your speculation. No matter how reasonable the speculation is, if there is no evidence, it is just speculation. ”

"Teacher Yang......" Yu Lian's expression at this time was gloomy and terrifying.

"I understand. Young people, moon people, and the pride of the sky, it is understandable that they want to make a big news. But ah, I've heard your average isn't so good right now! Toron's two A+ can't completely save your grades. With this in mind, let's think about my graduation thesis. It's only been half a year! Yang Xiyi advised earnestly.

Yu Lian was silent, and poured the wine into the cup.

At this time, the scene was very cold, and even the aroma of stewed meat could not restore some warmth.

However, at the same moment, in another small private room on the side of the restaurant, someone secretly clenched his fists, and his face was gloomy and sinister.
