In the café, Yu Lian and Yang Xiyi sat down like this. The former asked for a cup of milk foam that was full and tasted very sweet; The latter looked at the former with disdain, asked for a cup of black tea, hesitated for a moment, and added a little brandy.

Neither of them is in the habit of sitting in a café and drinking afternoon tea, but now they really have nowhere to go, so they come here to watch the excitement. It's a pity that it was still a step too late, and with the chaotic entry of the two headhunting companies, the soldiers completely lost the motivation to make trouble and dispersed.

The gendarmes had already arrived at the scene, but they did not arrest anyone.

"They are still measured, if they really drag the delegation out of the heavens, His Excellency the Commander may have just moved to the left, but maybe he will retire in a very undignified way. In this way, Mr. Qi's efforts were in vain. Yang Xiyi said.

Qi Bingwen, the ambassador of the community to the empire, and Mr. Qi Bingwen, a powerless writer, scolded at the door of the Kaitai Embassy for three days with a sword. If ordinary people do this, they will probably be regarded as vexatious madmen, but if a great writer does this, everyone will wonder if there is something deep in this.

What kind of humiliation would make a helpless writer ready to spill his blood on the streets of the imperial capital? The above doubts have gradually become the mainstream of public opinion. Even many of the imperial nobles and members of the two houses felt that they should have a more just deal.

Mr. Qi really has a lot of book fans, and it is said that even the emperor likes his books.

All in all, public opinion is indeed tilting towards the side of the community, so that the Earth government can be much more flexible in dealing with Admiral Perris, who has gone alone, ah no, "unreasonably used the right of active self-defense".

"How is the old man's current state?"

"But before the war, he had already put his life on the line! Now, the results are much better than expected, and the spirits are certainly good. Or rather, it's a little too much, much more cheerful than before, and inexplicably a little chattering. He also pulled me to talk a lot, and I thought I was explaining what was going on. Hey, didn't he say he hated the moon people the most? ”

He just hates the elite bureaucracy in the literal sense of the word. If you knew that in that future that would never happen, the old admiral, before he was seriously wounded and unconscious, appointed you to take command of the fleet, you wouldn't say that.

"So, Mr. Yang, are you going to officially stay in office?"

"Yes! I originally thought that His Excellency the Commander would have to leave, and that none of us who were the ones who started the war would be able to escape, and that we were all ready to lose our military positions and fend for ourselves. Heh, I'm asking Jessica to help me connect with the middle school in my hometown and get ready to become a history teacher. Unexpectedly, it was promoted by half a level. ”

Now, Colonel Yang Xiyi has become the chief combat staff officer of the Outer Ring Fleet, and also serves as the deputy chief of staff, and it is estimated that he will have to wear the general's star after a while.

"No matter how you say it, you are an elite bureaucracy, and for those on the other side of the world, you are a natural person. In this battle, your talent has indeed been proven. It is estimated that there will be big names coming to you soon to talk about life. ”

Yang Xiyi showed a frightened expression, and as long as he thought of this scene, he was already restless.

"So, what about you?"

"Tomorrow, a direct passenger ship to Earth. The ticket that the logistics office of the headquarters bought for me is still a second-class ticket. Hehe, obviously the school will only reimburse me for the third-class ticket. It's time for me to go, or I won't be able to start school at the end of January. ”

"It was a good time to be a student. Savor the youth of the last half year! Yang Xiyi smiled: "However, what I asked is your future plans." ”

Yu Lian remained silent. He hasn't even figured it out yet, so how can he decide? What's more, what he wants to do most now is not something to say casually.

"Chai Gate, have you been there?"

"Well, I went yesterday, and by the way, I also said goodbye. Originally, it was not a serious injury, but he and Major Nani were prepared to delay until the day after tomorrow to be discharged...... Probably because he was put down by someone else, it hurt his heart, right? ”

", they're going to be sad? That's to love our food! Our Outer Ring Military Region General Hospital is probably the best food in the military hospitals of the whole community, and you can get fresh ingredients from the major plantations of the Andromeda System nearby! You can also eat as much as you like! ”

Yu Lian felt that the main reason should be the beautiful orthopedic doctor sister that Major Nani had taken a fancy to, and she was about to start a pursuit. Colonel Chaimen was idle anyway, so he decided to stay with his friend and old partner as a wingman.

Yes, it's true. They don't belong to the Outer Ring Fleet, but directly belong to the Internal Guard Force of the National Defense Committee, and they are also part of the psionic force that is being tested, and this time they are here to test the heraldic machine in the Outer Ring Fleet.

The test results were a great deal! After all, the first time this thing went into battle, it completed the feat of capturing the bridge of the dreadnought and killing the enemy by leapfrogging.

Yu Lian could imagine the jubilation in the Earth's alchemy laboratory. Wouldn't it be the first time that they were able to make a heraldic machine with this kind of performance, didn't it mean that the Blue Star Community was also on the right path as a technological power, and was challenging the Alliance and the Empire?

"They must have invited you to stay, right?"

"Not only that, but Colonel Chaimen has already sent a letter of recommendation to his immediate superior." Yu Lian was a little helpless, but the two big brothers really appreciated themselves, and they didn't want to say anything if they were kind.

"But you don't want to, do you?"

Psykers and heraldic machines may be necessary, but more like a symbol or totem than the future! Dreadnoughts, more dreadnoughts, so many dreadnoughts, tens of millions, well-trained, brave and fearless, good men who know what they are fighting for, and great nations that can make all of this happen, are the future! Yu Lian still believes in this.

If there were colosses, many, many colossias would be even better! It's just that it hasn't come out yet.

"Mr. Yang, the six Dreadnoughts of the Outer Ring Fleet are all old guys who have been in service for almost half a century. Two of them are undergoing major repairs, three are under maintenance, and one is on its way to repairs. We've defeated the Cathays, but that doesn't mean the Outer Ring Fleet isn't in the weakest state in history! ”

"The Alliance is building eight of the latest dreadnoughts for the Community, four of which will be completed for sea trials next year, and all of them will be handed over to the Outer Ring Fleet at that time." Yang Xiyi paused for a moment, and then said: "In addition, the news I just got is that because of this incident, Chairman Nishita argued in the Congress, and finally passed the plan of building twenty battle cruisers and twelve aircraft carriers. In the year after that, depending on the situation, maybe there will be an additional order for four more dreadnoughts to the alliance! ”

Yes, that's good news, of course. But what's even more interesting is that when the community first became independent, it had the ability to build its own dreadnoughts. Of course, it is impossible to build dreadnoughts like dumplings like the Alliance and the Empire, but it does have such capabilities.

"Yu Lian, I've thought about it. You should not use this battle as the subject of your thesis. ”

Yu Lian was slightly stunned, and before he could speak, Yang Xiyi said again: "In addition, the information you sent to the New Yumen Garrison and the New Lushun Town Guard Mansion has also been received by our side. I also came with the assessment report of the town guard's house......"

As always, the topic jumps dizzyingly.

"Probably not good news, right?"

"Well, if you hadn't remembered to leave some imaging treatments, and there were twenty or thirty witnesses, you'd be taken for a fool. However, they still tend to think that those biological weapons in your mouth are indigenous creatures that have not yet been discovered in the New Jade Gate......"

Yu Lian didn't have much hope at first, and naturally he was not disappointed with this result.

"Eleanor has been searching in the New Jade Gate for several days, and she has found nothing." Yang Xiyi pondered for a moment: "I believe in you, so I have entered this creature named UC829 into the database and sent it to the National Unification and the Commission." In addition, within my authority, I will transfer two more large planetary exploration ships to the new Yumen. ”

Yu Lian nodded gratefully, Teacher Yang had indeed done everything he could. However, he still didn't think anyone could catch any clues.

…… Or a different way of thinking? Ask that particularly reliable black (meow) information dealer to find her whereabouts? According to the history of later generations, she must have been in hiding at this time.

The more Yu Lian thought about it, the more he felt that this was a feasible plan. At least it's much more reliable than the rambling national intelligence agencies.

Seeing that the time was almost up, the two got up and prepared to leave, the target was naturally the special athlete pot of the outer ring fleet. Yang Xiyi can't come to send Yu Lian tomorrow, of course tonight will be a candied wine.

The two had just arrived at the door of the café, but they happened to meet a noble lady with a good temperament and charm, who was about to come in.

Both sides nodded very politely, and Yu Lian and Yang Xiyi were quite graceful to get out of the way, signaling the other lady to give priority.

Just when everyone was about to pass by, the lady carefully looked at Yu Lian's face, and even showed a friendly and even a kind smile: "Your officer is Warrant Officer Yu Lian, right?" I didn't expect to meet you here. ”

"This, you are ......"

"My name is Lena Virbart. Well, if it's Frey's mother. You can probably remember, right? ”

Yu Lian quickly remembered the eldest lady of the alliance of Zixinhui Group, the big financier who had provided the largest income to the newly reborn self, and immediately showed an impeccable (business) smile, saluted and shook hands with the other party.

"Well, then, this is ......" Ms. Virbart looked at Yang again, her gaze darting over the rank of colonel of the other party's collar badge.

"This is Colonel Yang Xiyi, the chief staff officer of the intelligence chief of the Outer Ring Fleet."

"Oh, your name, I've heard it even on Earth. I'm so sorry that you led your soldiers to fight bravely, but we failed to live up to your sacrifice! Oh, that's how the earth is now! However, I am also relieved anyway, and after this incident, I will take office in the alliance, and I can reunite with my family. ”

She was not so much apologizing as complaining. Fortunately, although she is a little older, she is still a senior beauty with good looks, demeanor and temperament, and a big personality, and she complains more like she is attacking sin, and she is not tiresome.

"I was supposed to entertain you and show my gratitude as a mother. It's just that the affairs are busy, so I can only save it for the next day. Then, ...... less accompaniment," the lady gave the two of them a friendly smile again, and walked towards the interior of the hall with graceful steps.

A crowd of well-dressed men greeted them, and after a brief greeting, they left as if they were hugging a queen.

Yang Xiyi suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, I remember." This Ms. Lena Virbart seems to be an influential senator, and is said to be an upright and compassionate person, and has a good reputation. Now that the term of office of this councillor is about to expire, he will soon be an ambassador to the coalition. Hehe~~~ She's still Jessica's idol, and it looks like she's really a pretty powerful lady. ”

Your "hehe" and "look" are very spiritual. Yu Lian couldn't help but glance at the other party.

"So, will Sister Jessica be sad when she finds out?"

"Maybe I'll be ecstatic."
