155. No one knows hamburgers better than I do
The Osiris sailed out of the Mycenaean colonization constellation, turned to its maximum speed, and headed in the direction of the military-industrial colonization satellite Nineveh.
The universe is chaotic and dark, the so-called vast stars, jewel-like shining planets, these scenery can not be seen on this route, and even if you want to glance at the earth, you can't do it, you can only watch the video.
Li Youde looked at the drowsy darkness, yawned, and looked at his watch, it was time for lunch.
Seeing Li Youde get up to leave, Jessica called him to stop, and took out a cardboard box to hand it to him.
"What is this?" Li Youde asked curiously.
"Cake."
"Cake?"
"Major General Shepard's, doesn't he love to eat cake the most, he didn't give it to him when he was not in good health, and there are a lot of leftovers, all of which are almost past the expiration date. You can eat this for lunch, there are still a lot of them in the refrigerator in the captain's room and the cold storage in the dining room after eating. β
"Uh... You can't just give the ship's favorite cake a share, and it's not for the captain. β
"No, everyone has been eating for a while before, and they are tired of eating."
"Teacher, did he empty a cake shop when he left Mycenae? You better keep this, I don't want to eat it today, I want to eat a hamburger. β
"Hamburg? Good luck. β
Li Youde didn't understand the meaning of Jessica's last sentence, and saw Jessica change hands and stuff this box of cakes that are about to expire tonight to Kawaguchi...
"The teacher is really, he still eats so many sweets when he is older."
Li Youde muttered all the way to the restaurant, greeting unfamiliar faces along the way, it will take a while for him to fit in here.
There was still a vacant seat in the restaurant, Li Youde swept around the dining table, and did not see the standard burger in the Star Alliance warship restaurant, so he walked up to a bronzed-skinned woman who was cleaning up the dishes, and asked her:
"No burgers?"
When he said this, the entire restaurant was quiet, and almost everyone looked at Li Youde, and before Li Youde noticed anything unusual, he saw the bronzed-skinned woman turn around and show Li Youde her beautiful face, but the expression on this face at this time was enough to make any man fearful.
"What's wrong?" Li Youde inexplicably felt that he had done something wrong.
"No Sakura," the cook Fiona replied coldly.
"Is it sold out? Can you make me a copy if you have any materials? I love burgers, thank you. β
"No is no Sakura"
"Uh... Is there any? β
"Akino Sakura"
"What about the after?"
"No Sakura"
ββ¦ Has this ship ever sold a hamburger. β
Fiona crossed her hands on her hips: "Ever since I got on the boat, there have been no burgers." β
I don't know why a drop of sweat hit Li Youde's forehead, he thought that the woman had a bad attitude towards him because she didn't like him as the new captain, but it seemed that it was for other reasons.
"That's... That one... Ahem, although I feel like I'm doing privilege, but my favorite thing to eat is hamburgers, and there are burgers in the restaurants of the Star Alliance warships, can I add hamburgers to the broadcast in the future? That's not too much to ask, isn't it? Please. β
Li Youde's low profile did not get a trace of compromise from Fiona, Fiona took a step forward and looked at it with a blank look: "The Osiris is not a starry battleship, right?" Not to mention, hamburgers are the least nutritious of all foods, so I'll give you a vegetable salad. β
"Huh? No, how did you come to this conclusion? Burgers are not highly nutritious, but the Star Burgers are specially made for soldiers, and the Osiris should have it. β
"My ex-boyfriend, the Star Alliance Sergeant, ate a burger and died."
βοΌοΌοΌ Wait a minute, this is too exaggerated, it was killed in battle! You can't stop people from eating burgers because of this prejudice! β
"No one knows Hamburg better than I do. You, eat the salad, or go and digest the cake left by the former captain. β
Fiona stopped talking nonsense, made a bowl of vegetable salad and handed it to Li Youde, and instructed (intimidation?) "Must eat clean." β
"This..."
Li Youde took the salad and felt very aggrieved. He is also a seven-foot man, a dignified and hot-blooded soldier, and a captain. Now he was pressed by a cook and couldn't raise his head, and he wanted to resist, but as soon as he looked up, he was glared back by Fiona's fierce eyes.
"Wait, I'll definitely have a burger on this ship..."
Li Youde was embarrassed to stay in the restaurant to eat, and fled with his tail between his legs and the salad like a defeated wolf. Now let him choose, and he will choose the cake.
Seeing Fiona turn around and enter the kitchen, everyone in the dining room breathed a sigh of relief, and Miao Haus lowered his voice: "The new captain took the first position, and he was made by Fiona to be autistic. β
Li Si took over the conversation: "No, she is not the head chef, before she forcibly crossed out the burger in the broadcast, Bart and Old Jack argued with her several times, but she was defeated." β
"Don't mention itβ" Bart stroked his neck, as if remembering it was more painful than fighting.
"I used to know Fiona, she wasn't like that before. His ex-boyfriend loves hamburgers, and she can complain and persuade at best, but after his boyfriend died, it became like this. Maybe I want to make up for something in my heart..."
As soon as Old Jack said this, everyone nodded as if they understood.
"No one knows this on ships better than I do."
Old Jack inexplicably played the air accordion with his hands, and no one knew what he meant.
β¦
The Osiris sailed calmly for two days, and was already able to see the outer satellites of the colonial satellite city-state of Nineveh. As an independent city-state based on industry, the people of Nineveh seem to value efficiency over beauty, and whatever the function of the satellite, the outer walls are all rusted iron red. This style is believed to have been decorated by 18th-century English workers.
"In a little while I will enter the capital of Nineveh, so that it will be the same as planned, two more, one more trade, two more and then return, and my first task as captain will be successfully completed."
"You can't say that." Lieutenant Anton reminded Li Youde: "Nineveh is also doing HER business, and if it comes across HER's warship, it will be troublesome." β
"Well, but Nineveh has been in the arms business for so long and hasn't had any accidents, so we shouldn't have a problem this time."
"yes, hahahaha."
Jessica didn't want them to flag anymore and interrupted their conversation.
"Nineveh has allowed us to stop, and someone will be the guide."
"It's a commercial satellite, it's really thoughtful. Leave the negotiation to the negotiating team that came on board this time, right? Li Youde asked.
"That's right, we soldiers can protect this ship."
"However, I have a rare opportunity to leave Mycenae, and I would like to visit the city with the negotiating team."
Lee patted his ass and got up, and both Jessica and Anton pretended not to see the list of burger-making materials in his trouser pocket.
"Okay Captain, I'll be optimistic about the Osiris while you're away."
"Please, Lieutenant Anton!"
Nineveh was trading with several powers at the same time, which was risky, so they divided the capital's business district into several districts. If you are a HER person, you can only operate in a certain area, and the warship is docked in the port of this area; If you're a star, you'll want to park and do things in another area. This avoided the outbreak of conflict as much as possible, although everyone knew that there were enemy ships docked at a certain port on this satellite. But then again, it is not difficult to fool Nineveh's security and blend into other areas as long as you are willing, so you can't let your guard down.
Li Youde did not disembark in a military uniform, which was also done to avoid conflict and not to cause tension among the residents of the satellite. He laboriously tied his tie, straightened his suit, and glanced at his purchase list again.
"If you purchase separately, it is estimated that you will have to go to several places, and some places will not be able to go yet. If you go directly to a fast food restaurant, you can buy it all at once, but only private restaurants will sell ingredients... Oh, yes, I was so anxious about the burger that I didn't have long since I became captain, but I really wanted to eat it! β
In this way, as a foodie, Li Youde mixed into the negotiation team carefully selected by Mycenae. As soon as he left the port, he went on his own and asked the locals about a nice private fast-food restaurant.
Not far away, Li Youde, who looked like a business elite, walked into this fast-food restaurant, which was not very clean. The boss saw at a glance that he was a soldier and asked in an attitude that was neither enthusiastic nor cold: "What to eat?" β
Li Youde took out the list and asked, "Do you sell these things?" β
The boss took the list and looked at it, and asked, "Sell, but you just buy this?" I can help you get more, enough for a boatload. β
"No thanks, if you have one, please prepare. Plus, I'm going to have a burger set here. β
The boss shrugged, handed the set meal to Tomotoku, and went to the back kitchen to prepare the items on the list. Li Youde took a satisfied bite of the burger, and only after the aroma of meat and sauce filled his mouth did he begin to look at the other guests in the restaurant.
It's not a meal now, but the seats in the restaurant are a third full, and some of them look like local workers, probably skipping work and sitting together to chat, and there are a couple like Youde who have a suspicious identity and sit on the other side of the same bar as Youde.
They were a man and a woman, the man was burly and looked like a soldier, with an Indian complexion, wearing sunglasses and a suit, and had been watching him vigilantly since he entered the door.
The woman has curly and flamboyant blonde hair, wears sunglasses and a hat with a long brim, and looks like a noblewoman from her outfit. Of course, if there are really ladies who like to have afternoon tea in this filthy fast food restaurant.
If these two men are disguising their identities, then this is too high-profile, although Youde himself is not in a position to criticize them. With strange people around, he didn't want to stay long, he just wanted to finish the burger and leave with the ingredients.
Lee did not know that the man and woman were the captains of the HER battleship "Leon", which had previously participated in the Battle of Mycenae, Major Vega and Sergeant Singh. They also came to Nineveh to resupply, and Qiao Zhuang sneaked into the area where non-HER soldiers could move, hoping to inquire about the information of other forces and secretly date.
Li Youde's strange appearance attracted the attention of the two of them, but they didn't know that Li Youde was the new captain of the Osiris, and they just regarded him as a Star Alliance soldier who had slipped out.
"Do you want me to inquire?" Singh asked, his so-called inquiry was to find out the departure time of the Star Covenant ships, and knowing this information, they could set up an ambush nearby in advance. This kind of thing was not uncommon in the early days of the war, and for a time the ships of other forces did not dare to dock at neutral satellites.
"It's not that easy, in my opinion, it's better to release the spy drone, find out the location of the port and the name of the ship, and the sailing time or something can be obtained by bribing the port staff in Nineveh."
Singh nodded in agreement, and they followed Li Youde out with the big box as he left. Seeing Youde getting into the car, Weijia took out a foundation box, opened it and had a mechanical dragonfly inside, and flew away with the car Li Youde was sitting in.
