Chapter 1506: And Me
"Aunt Virginia, my feelings for Claire are serious and serious, and rest assured that I will love her more than I love myself." He felt that if he hadn't communicated in English, in Chinese, and in the environment of the previous era, he would never have been able to speak the above words fluently.
At this time, apart from the promise, how else can he answer? Ignore Virginia's whining? Or do you patiently tell the other party what happened to you in the Tianchao Star Region, and prove that you are not a "lovely" guy, but you are really involuntarily in the rivers and lakes?
Virginia stared at his face for a few moments before nodding and saying, "Hmm...... I believe you, Claire has told you what you've done before. ”
Tang Fang's heart floated over 10,000 grass and mud horses, although it was a bit disrespectful to describe it like this, but it was undeniable that it could perfectly describe his current mood.
She obviously asked Claire what kind of actual actions she had taken, but she still had to make a point in front of herself...... No, I should say a bang, to earn some face for Claire. It's like telling him, "Your daughter-in-law has someone in her family, don't try to bully her." ”
Of course, Virginia's approach left him speechless and helpless, and it is undeniable that she has a good heart. I thought about it and put a lot of effort into understanding Chinese culture, so I made a very oriental behavior in front of me.
"Huh...... Aunt Virginia, didn't you contact me this time just to tell me to treat Claire well? ”
"Of course not." Virginia glanced down at the PDA screen and said, "The meeting location has been changed to 6.3 light-years away from the Livia star system, and the time has been moved back three weeks. Well, I'll send you the coordinates right away. ”
"Three weeks? What went wrong? He had already planned his schedule, but he didn't think that Virginia suddenly told him that the meeting would be postponed by three weeks, which would undoubtedly disrupt Miss Emma's schedule.
"Bill? There's a little bit of a problem on Carter's side and Krisugad, and yesterday they sent a telegram saying that they might be a few days late. ”
"A small situation? Is it serious? If you need help, just ask. ”
"Don't worry too much, it's just said that the Imperial Navy is moving frequently, Bill? Carter and Krisugad decided to avoid the danger zone out of an abundance of caution, which would undoubtedly take some time. ”
Hearing her say this, Tang Fang didn't say much, thinking that the meeting should be postponed for three weeks, anyway, he still has a bunch of nerve-wracking things to deal with, such as how to deal with those experimental subjects contained from the Omega space station, such as how to follow Fei? Miss Wenli spoke out about the harsh reality...... And the Nova thing.
"Well, since you say so." He nodded, saying no more.
At this moment, the light and shadow of the big screen flashed, and a beard squeezed into the scope of the lens......
"Virginia, look at how scared him...... Be careful that he takes a detour when he sees you later. "It's Marion who speaks, and he's still on the channel where Virginia helped Claire beat Tang Fang just now.
After saying this, ignoring the slight unhappiness on Virginia's face, Marion turned his head to look at Tang Fang: "Don't be afraid, she is just a guy who is strong on the outside, and the words in front are all bluffing you." ”
Yes, Tang Fang has learned what it means to be a strength pit teammate today. This is him at the scene, he recognizes Marion's face, if it were someone else, I'm afraid he wouldn't believe that the bearded man in front of him with an unserious face was the one who made Colclaugh? Stewart's sleepless Garcia Resistance spiritual leader Marion Sr. ------ Marion? Duncan.
"Didn't I tell you in advance not to interject in my conversation with him, old fellow?"
These two guys who tear each other down are really a perfect match. Tang Fang complained in his heart, smiled like a spring breeze at the two people in front of him, and quietly watched them bewitch...... This is the best response to neutrality.
Marion turned a deaf ear to Virginia's shouting, and the hand behind her suddenly raised, "Look what this thing is?" ”
When Tang Fang heard this, he saw a wine bottle standing in the center of the screen, with a white bottle, a red streamer, a bright flying mark, and the word MOUTAI in capital letters.
"Mao...... Platform? Moutai?! He had a speechless expression: "Where did you get it from?" ”
Since the desolation of the earth, many once famous enterprises and cultural heritage have been lost in the long river of history, like some wineries in China, the old cellar and the base wine are basically destroyed. Even though many enterprises have worked hard to survive in the past 200 years and tried to rebuild their former glory, they could not withstand the erosion of time, and a large number of enterprises with historical heritage disappeared under the trend of the times.
Even if a well-known liquor company such as Moutai survives, its products are very different from those of the earth's civilization, and it is difficult to restore the taste of the past.
I really don't know where Marion got this kind of thing from, judging from the production date at the seal, it is clear that it is the years before the earth is abandoned. Well, if it's true...... That's a really old bottle worth 10,000 dollars.
Although he doesn't drink much, he also knows the name of Moutai, and he can be said to be the king of national wine in the previous era.
Marion was an old drunkard, and he knew this when he was in Crotan. It's just that I didn't expect that guy to joke that he would treat him well at this meeting, and now he really took out enough old wine.
"I'm not afraid to tell you ......," the bearded man said closer to the camera, "I emptied Prince Walker's cellar." Found a bottle of white and a bottle of green. I drank the green ones, and kept the white ones for you...... The teal bottle tastes great, well, and the chicken on the outer packaging is also good. ”
Prince Walker, Tang Fang is no stranger to Prince Walker, when he, Aros, and Hausen came out of Planet 5 and were recruited into the Thunder Fleet to participate in the Battle of Na'vi, the Thunder Fleet was armed under the banner of Prince Walker, and later returned to the Mega star system, and Tester led the Kaleidoscope Fleet to encircle and suppress him, and was beaten by the Ipsilon Relay Station, and then the war between the Monya Empire, the Sulu Empire and the Star Alliance broke out, and Tester let him kick his ass hard, and the Kaleidoscope Fleet was almost wiped out.
"Chickens? Zodiac Moutai? Tang Fang pointed at Marion and said, "What a loser, that's for collection." ”
Marion was very incomprehensible to his words: "Isn't wine just for drinking?" Collection? Is it a collection bottle? I didn't think it looked so appealing. ”
"Ugh." Tang Fang didn't know how to refute him, speaking of which, isn't wine a drink that exists just to drink it?
"You actually used the Lyra-class special service ship I gave you to do the business of stealing alcohol." He changed the point of complaining.
The Lyra-class special service ship is Egger? Stetelman vs. Rory? Based on the warships used in the Deep Diver fleet, Swan integrated StarCraft human science and technology to develop a Morningstar forged special service ship, which has high maneuverability and stealth, and is suitable for infiltration operations behind enemy lines, intelligence gathering, front-line reconnaissance and other tasks.
The new Deep Diver fleet, well known to people in the Hillembir region, is a special modification of the Lyra-class special service ships.
The first batch of Lyra-class special service ships left the factory and went to the Phoenix Empire, and the second batch of Lyra-class special service ships were gifted to Marion by him after leaving the factory? Duncan, in order to help Garcia's rebels fight against the Monya Empire's navy.
What he didn't expect was that the old guy would use this fleet to rob Prince Walker's cellar.
Marion didn't care about his complaints, and said with a haha: "Do it, do it......"
What else can he say now? Met such a guy who makes people laugh and cry...... I can only choose to accept it.
"You can't drink this bottle cravingly, you must keep it."
Marion laughed and said, "Don't worry, even if I bite my tongue off greedily, I will never touch the gift I prepared for you." ”
Tang Fang shook his head and didn't look at him, looked at Virginia and said, "So many years...... It's really bitter for you. ”
"Who's to say it's not......" At this point, she very much agreed with Captain Tang's opinion.
With that, Virginia said goodbye to him and pressed the abort button. In this process, Tang Fang was in a trance and heard Marion say proudly: "A bottle of Moutai wine in exchange for a fleet, I am really a business wizard." ”
He kneaded his forehead with his hands, speechless for the rebel leader. No wonder those who knew Marion well laughed when they talked about him. With this kind of personality in front of outsiders, who would believe that he is the famous Marion? What about Duncan.
But if you look at it from another angle, perhaps it is precisely because of his approachability, laughter and anger, and optimism and cheerfulness that unite people's hearts and inspire their will like not extinguishing the fire, so that Garcia's resistance army can move forward in the darkness of almost no light and hold on to this day.
This is the unique personality charm of the beard, and it has a very special contagion. The soul of the Garcia Resistance, the spiritual leader of the Garcia Resistance, he deserves such an adjective.
Speaking of which, the two have different personalities, but they have one thing in common. Marion? Duncan has a capable female assistant by his side, Virginia, and he also has a capable female assistant, Kylenia.
Virginia is always upset with Marion? Duncan's unreliability, and Kelinia always complains about his lack of home.
"Commander, you've left me behind." At this moment, the voice in his head startled him, and when he looked closely, he found that Miss Emma, who was sorting out the information obtained by the Freedom Heaven System in front of him, looked at him with a serious gaze, as if this was a matter of life and death.
"Emma, people are scared to death." He protested loudly.
"Commander, I'm not human." She explained very seriously. Even though she has stepped out of the system space and obtained the body of an Ipsi Dragon, she still has not established the cognition of "I am a person", and is still stuck in the stage of "I am an artificial intelligence".
"Good, good, good, you're not human...... You are a robot. He was frustrated and frustrated. Because Miss Emma is showing signs of moving closer to Kylenia's eight-woman who cares about everything and cares about everything.
Emma very much agreed with his definition, there was a constant flow of light between her hands, it was not the energy from her body, it was the electromagnetic waves radiated by various wireless devices on the bridge, it could also be said to be all kinds of data, but now it became the energy circulation in her palm, reflected in the light blue pupils.
This is a special ability given to her by the body of the Ipsi Dragon...... With this ability, she can more easily respond to changes in the external environment and control the parameters of the Minotaur-class battlecruisers.
In other words, Miss Emma is now the strongest ship officer in history, just like EDI is to JOKER in Mass Effect, and Cortana is to Master Chief in Halo.
Of course, his personality is 108,000 miles different from that of Joker, and it is difficult to intersect with the personality of Master Chief.
At this moment, Hausen and Churchill next to him glanced at each other and muttered, "What did he just say?" Is this Miss Ipsiron a robot? ”
Churchill didn't complain that he used the word "little sister", and said with a wicked smile: "Our Captain Tang's tastes are getting more and more tricky." ”
"That's not ...... If you are used to eating green vegetables and tofu, you always have to try to burst your belly and fat intestines to call life, right? "Don't forget that there's a big star in the cabin. ”
Before he finished speaking, an electronic pen smashed on his head and fell to the ground, followed by Tang Fang's angry shout: "Damn, don't think I don't know what you're talking about." ”
Haosen rubbed the place where he was hit by the electronic pen, with a sad expression: "Then how are you going to punish me?" Women's clothing? ”
Tang Fang was speechless, there was nothing to say, since the battle outside Phoenix City opened a new world for Haosen, this cheeky skill has become deeper and deeper, and it has become more and more speechless.
………………
When Captain Tang hesitated to use this time to go back to the Heavenly Nest Star Region to find Abbather to deal with the spirits from the Freedom Heaven System, there was a situation in the Phoenix Empire that caused an uproar in the entire Helenbuir Region.
Marlow? Smith's plan to advance the Equality Act met with significant resistance, with mid-level officials softly resisting orders from policymakers and shelving the documents that had been issued...... It's still a better situation. Those who exploited and enslaved Maurice to gain huge wealth and power constantly used pretenders to stir up trouble, create confrontation between Morris and civilians in the field of power, form a new class antagonism, and bring a thick haze to the Phoenix Empire, which had just ended the civil war.
Such a situation is very embarrassing, if it is a high-level boycott, Marlowe? Smith can do it directly against them, and if it is a grassroots boycott, it is a big deal to deal with a batch of them, just in time to replace them with progressives, or even the best of Morris's Slavery...... After all, not every Morris slave is stupid, and characters like Bai Yue can always find a few if you choose carefully.
However, it is precisely this kind of middle-level officials who are not up or down, but they hold real power in their hands, and there is no way to replace them in a big way, which will bring systemic political turmoil, and there is no way to firmly control them under their noses, so that they dare not make small moves.
