Chapter 1013: Childish Guy
Freya looked at him with a wink, thinking that this old man was so nice and that what he said was good. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In fact, she knew that these words were extremely sad, but they sounded warm, as if she had covered her soft heart with a quilt, which was very comfortable.
Tang Fang took a sip of the lukewarm tea soup, feeling much more astringent, and suddenly remembered the attitude of those Mengya soldiers on the wandering planet towards him, and sighed softly, "At least...... They are dying for their pursuits. ”
Dalton poured out the already cold tea, looked at the small cup of landscape with delicate and smooth enamel, and sighed: "Is that really their own pursuit?" Not a quest that we impose on them? ”
Tang Fang hesitated, then poured the tea in the cup, "At least they can listen to different voices, choose different paths, and pursue different styles of nature and scenery." Aren't you also willing to sacrifice your sweat and youth to protect these most precious things...... A man's lack of regrets is often heavier than life. ”
Tang Lin watched the dialogue between the two of them playing Zen machine, and the rumors outside his heart were indeed true, his own brother was really a shrewd guy who talked about people and talked nonsense. You can be sincere like a model, you can be cunning like a politician, you can be elegant like a gentleman, or you can be frivolous like a prodigal son.
Dalton shook his head: "If the strong people in the world are like you, why worry about the lack of prosperity of mankind and the unrest of society." ”
"Nope." Tang Fang also shook his head, "I'm just a guy with good luck, and I'm used to sticking to my naivety. ”
Mr. Lieutenant General did not refute...... Because Tang Fang was right, he had no ability to refute it. As a strong man, Captain Tang has a cunning side, but the most important thing is to stick to naivety, and luck may be the patron saint who can stick to his naïve nature.
Whether it is Colclough I of the Monya Empire, Mackintosh, Halifax, or Zangowell of the United Kingdom of Turanx, Virginia of the Phoenix Empire must have had childish times with good hearts, but as they grow older and experience increases, in the face of danger and predicament, they can only abandon those naivety, and use insidious, despicable, and vicious tricks to gain power and help themselves become a strong man. And this path of life is a road of no return, a road of no return.
Compared to them, Tang Fang's rise is very fast, as fast as a dazzling comet, and in the blink of an eye, he has gone from a front-line cannon fodder to a world-renowned powerhouse, playing against those elderly powerhouses on the chessboard of the Hillenbuir region. Because he grows up quickly, he can stick to that precious naivety and be an outlier among the strong.
"I really hope you can stay so naïve, because in this dark social jungle, a shining star is needed to light the way to the dawn, so that those travelers who are shivering under hunger and cold have enough confidence to take the next step...... Some call it hope, others reverently call it salvation, or the gods' protection. ”
Tang Fang withdrew his hand that wanted to pour the tea, looked into his eyes and said, "What's wrong with you?" "To tell the truth, he really didn't feel used to being so praised by an elder who had led soldiers to battle, which made him blush and feel melancholy, because the hope of others would turn into weight when it fell on his shoulders, and the heavier it was, the more he wanted to escape.
In the corner of the room is a black clarinet, which glows with a chilling chill and silence in the cold light. Is it like another Dalton? Evelyn, instead of a mirror, reflects her inner alter self.
The lieutenant general's gaze moved from the corner of the room to the empty cup in front of him, and shook his head again, "It's just a little sentimental." ”
The Star Alliance has not seriously fought a national-level war for many years, in fact, not only the most basic soldiers and officers are difficult to adapt to the cruelty of the battlefield and the sorrow of death, but even high-ranking generals like him feel uncomfortable.
War exploits, honors, and so on, compared to heavy casualties, are nothing. Civilians only see the brilliance of victory, where do they know that these seemingly beautiful things are born with fresh life as fertilizer, nourished by the blood and corpses of soldiers, they are not beautiful at all, they are the dirtiest things in this world.
However, if you want to regain national sovereignty and have the status of a normal country, you must use victory to build that dignity barrier. Dalton would rather die for the country he loves, though it is still filthy and unbearable. The same is true of the young people who have sacrificed their lives to defend their will.
So he is very contradictory, on the one hand, noble patriotic ideas, and on the other hand, weariness of war. He is not one of the noble sons and interest groups of the Mengya Empire who only seek personal glory and a way out for his family, and he cannot ignore the casualties and treat a cold corpse as a number, just to pursue victory and merit.
Tang Fang understood his inner struggle, knew his uneasiness and fear, but had no way to enlighten him. As a young man, he was not qualified to enlighten the general on the other side, and as an outsider, he could not fully understand his sorrow. Then the atmosphere suddenly became awkward, only the sound of tea leaves flipping in the water.
Freya looked at the two who were speechless, her round eyes turned sideways, swinging over, sometimes frowning, sometimes pouting, she was very puzzled by the change in the atmosphere on both sides of the tea table, one old and one young, and finally stretched out her little hand and gently placed it in Tang Fang's palm, which means that no matter what happens, good, bad, happy, sad...... Freya will always be there for you.
He couldn't help but think that the reason why people were able to live desperately like a tenacious cockroach in the dark times, trying to breathe every breath of air, was because there was so much touching beauty in this world in addition to sadness.
Some people choose death to escape poverty and humility, and they do not hesitate to take away their children and destroy their families, because they do not want their children to become another version of themselves, waste their years, and waste their lives. There are also some people who choose to fight, not bow to QIANG power and society, even if they shed the last drop of blood in their bodies, they will leave something in this world.
The calm between the fields was made? The arrival of Johnson, Wang Xiaochuan, Taixi and others broke it, and the small room was crowded with several people in a row, which seemed a little crowded, the air was also a little muddy, the aroma of the teapot was stirred up by the complex body odor, and the ghost light on the surface of the clarinet also became cloudy and no longer refreshing.
Dalton left his seat, and Tang Fang and Tang Lin also stood up and looked at the person with a smile. Let? Johnson is a small old man, with little majesty in sight between his eyebrows, and his eyes are very clear, and he looks very wise. Wang Xiaochuan is much more burly, although he has an authentic Chinese name, he is a Eurasian mixed-race, with a sexy big nose, and he was quite heroic when he was young, but now he has faded a lot, like a slightly yellowed calligraphy and painting. Mr. Tessie, the commander of the 9th Fleet, has a pair of long arms, a pair of large hands, and a hairy physique that looks like a gibbon, and Freya looks at him like a sweet and cute little girl looking at the chimpanzees in the zoo with curiosity and doubt, and wonders how they became humans.
Let? Johnson first apologized on behalf of everyone for not personally greeting the distinguished guests because of military affairs, and then to Vahid? Kgman did not appear to give a brief explanation, and then introduced Wang Xiaochuan, another deputy commander of the Spartacus Wing, and Tessie, commander of the 9th Fleet.
The lounge is not big, and it is not magnificent. However, all of you here are military personnel and are accustomed to being pragmatic, and since the Tang side has no opinion on this, they will not be displeased...... Even if someone can only sit on the periphery.
"Dear Mr. Tang, on behalf of all the officers and men of the 9th Fleet, I would like to thank you for your help to the Star Covenant Navy." Tessie is a performanceist, and his temperament is also a little impatient, for fear that others will take the lead, and he will thank Tang Fang for what he did in this battle as soon as possible.
At the beginning, the 9th Fleet and the 10th Fleet were blocked by the 9th Division of the Xudra Legion, the Kaleidoscope Fleet, and the Silver Fox Fleet, and were almost divided, surrounded, and then destroyed.
Before coming here, many middle- and low-level officers went to his office to petition, hoping to meet Captain Tang and say the word "thank you" in person...... For themselves, even more martyred comrades-in-arms.
Lieutenant General Tessie did not accede to their demands because he could not cross the Jean? Johnson vs. Luc? Stillberg arranged Tang's itinerary without authorization, but he promised to convey their thanks before the other fleets, so that Captain Tang would remember that the fighting sons and daughters of the 9th Fleet of the Star Alliance would not forget his kindness.
Now, he's done it, although it's a mess? Johnson was a little unhappy, and Wang Xiaochuan's face was also a little dark.
As the military commander of the Lutonado star system, as the commander of the Spartacus United, they have not yet thanked Tang Fang, this gibbon actually took the first step and made such a rude behavior, it is really undeserved.
The atmosphere at the scene was a little awkward, let? Johnson and Wang Xiaochuan felt that they had lost face in front of Tang, like the commanders of the 10th Fleet, the 25th Fleet, and the Haiger Fleet had a helpless expression, and they were afraid that Vice Admiral Taixi would be punished for writing a review again, and they only hoped that he would find a reliable guy to write for him this time, otherwise he would provoke Luc again? Stillberg scolded.
For Lieutenant General Tessie forcibly slapped in the face? Johnson and Wang Xiaochuan, Tang Fang felt a little funny, sure enough, there are still more upright people in the army, and there are fewer slippery people, there are not so many political correctness, and there are not too many benefits under the unspoken rules, at least in a country like Star Alliance, where the army is homely, there are more less.
"I just did what I was supposed to do, and the general didn't have to be like that...... Don't forget, I'm a Covenant citizen now, and it's my duty to contribute to my country and my fellow citizens. He turned his head to look at Jean? Johnson, Wang Xiaochuan and others, "If everyone here has to repeat their thanks, can I choose to plug my ears?" That's right...... Isn't that a bit undesirable...... Sorry, sorry, I shouldn't have thought so. ”
It is disrespectful to do so. Although he has the ability to be proud, everyone here is an old man, and as a young man, he should be more humble than complacent.
Of course, let? Johnson, Wang Xiaochuan and others understood what he meant, and the subtext of the above sentence was that I just did what I had to do, and I was exempt from thanks. It's just to strengthen their authority without making people look ugly, so that they use the appearance of a scoundrel and a philistine to refuse what they are going to do next in a self-deprecating way.
The corners of Tang Lin's eyebrows twitched slightly, thinking that he was cheating and sliding again, he was cheating and sliding again!
Let? Johnson looked crying and laughing, "They all say that you are not easy to deal with, more slippery than a loach, I didn't believe it at first, but now ...... I believed. ”
Different from the expressions of the people around him, Lieutenant General Tessie was very proud, even if his behavior just now offended his boss, it is very likely that he will have to worry about the 10,000-word review in the future, but fortunately, he did not live up to the trust of his sergeants and became the first person to say thank you, and the only one to say thank you.
Wang Xiaochuan remembered to be David? Conan's 42nd, 53rd, and 87th fleets, which were sent to the Cariland Star System-Tiantuk Star System to harass the mission, asked, "By the way, the 42nd Fleet and the 87th Fleet...... How are they doing? ”
This question immediately attracted the attention of all the generals present, and they all looked into his eyes with expectant eyes.
Tang Fang then briefly described the 42nd Fleet and the 87th Fleet's encounter with wandering planets. Of course, he didn't tell the crowd that he had enslaved 2 Elrants and had been given a planetary fortress. Instead, from the perspective of Halifax, based on the intelligence collected by the Monya Navy, the whole story is pieced together.
Freya pinched it hard in his palm, it didn't hurt, it was a little itchy.
Tang Lin's face was not good-looking, a little sad, and it seemed that there were tears in the depths of his eyes. He thought of his parents, who had been dead for many years, and the happy life of his family in Lector, as for why he thought about these very unfortunate pasts, because if he didn't let his sadness infect him, he would let joy flood his heart------ his eldest brother was simply insidious to the extreme, even if he deceived the enemy, even the allies were pitted.
Let? Johnson, Wang Xiaochuan and others are different, the light in their eyes erupts little by little with Tang Fang's narration, blooming little by little, whenever they hear a thrilling place, many people can't help but let out a gasp of cool air, their faces are full of shock and horror.
Many people couldn't believe that this was true, but the Tang side had no reason to deceive them, and the impact of this matter was far-reaching and huge, even His Royal Highness Halifax, the 13th prince of the Mengya Empire, had no possibility of hiding it.
2 divisions of the Xudra Regiment, more than 2,500 warships...... It's gone, it's as simple as a butterfly that dies suddenly in the distance. (To be continued.) )
