Chapter 240: The Hero's Burden Is Too Heavy
(Ask for recommendations, ask for favorites.) οΌ
Mu Chen said a little unfathomable: "Heroes are not so easy to do, most of these people have lofty ideals and ambitions, and then shed their blood for these things, and do many things that ordinary people can't do, so they will be regarded as heroes." β
In Mu Chen's view, this kind of person is purely to eat too much to support, for the sake of lofty ideals such as protecting the family and defending the country, he went to the frontier to spend his blood and youth, and in the end he didn't catch anything, and because of his high merit, he was feared by those in power, and finally died extremely desolate.
Yue Fei is the best example, although countless descendants are praising Yue Wumu's greatness, but looking at this matter from Yue Fei's point of view, if it is replaced by Mu Chen, he will definitely feel a big loss!
desperately defended the Southern Song Dynasty, sacrificed his youth and children for a country that was hopeless and rotten to the bones, but was finally killed by a "trumped-up" crime, and became a tragic hero in the eyes of countless people, this deal is too cost-effective.
What's the picture? Is it possible to achieve the fame of those who die? Why do you need so much fame when people are dead?
Mu Chen admires these heroes in his heart, whether it is Yue Fei who is loyal to the country, or Wen Tianxiang who sacrifices his life for righteousness, every such heroic deed makes Mu Chen's admiration fall to the ground, but at the same time, he also strengthens a belief, that is, never become such a person, because it is too miserable......
Mu Chen felt that if he was also pushed to the altar of heroes, then it was estimated that he would end up dead......
Now the political situation of the Earth Federation is similar to the environment Yue Fei is in, both are full of decay and erosion, and the more Mu Chen knows, the less he has a good impression of this Earth Federation.
Think about your recent experience, being coaxed and tricked into running to complete this task that no one can complete, and inexplicably carrying the burden of defending the dignity of all mankind on his shoulders, this Nima was accidentally killed by Proxima Centauri to the scum, who will reason with him when the time comes?
If there were no ghost tricks of those politicians in this, Mu Chen would have pulled out his brain and thrown it on the ground!
Isn't it just that Mu Chen's exploits are too dazzling, but he has never chosen a force to rely on? This kind of power that can't be used by me, then it's good to destroy it. Those politicians don't take a captain who can't win it over?
In fact, Mu Chen was full of confidence in the formation of the Reaper fleet at the beginning, but when it came to recruiting the crew, his heart was already half cold, and the crew members who came to participate in the election were all students who picked up the remaining problems from other fleets, or they were rookies who had just graduated from military schools, and that fleet would be like this when it was first formed? Any army that wants to form a combat force needs veterans to carry it, and the Earth Federation has not provided any support to Mu Chen in this regard at all.
On the contrary, there were quite a few people who were dragging their feet, and Mu Chen couldn't count how many officials tried to contact him, hoping to stuff their children or relatives into the Death Fleet. How many of these people are truly combative? I'm afraid there are only a handful.
This kind of entry into the Reaper Fleet through the back door is just based on the fact that Captain Muchen has made countless meritorious contributions, and he wants to follow the merit and pave the way for future promotions and careers.
This is not an isolated phenomenon in the Reaper fleet, but a universal phenomenon.
This kind of crew is not necessarily inferior to ability, and can become a member of the space force, some of them still have some ability, but the most fatal point is that this kind of crew does not have any will to fight, each has its own careful thinking, and when they can mix military merits, they must fight bravely, but once they encounter danger, they will run faster than anyone else.
This is also the reason why during the first exchange battle, seven deserters appeared directly under the wolf girl's men.
Expecting Mu Chen to win the battle with such a person, it is better to wash and sleep early.
Ordinary heroes can't save these moths, I'm afraid only God can.
Although Mu Chen has the honorary title of "Grim Reaper", this only shows that he is good at killing enemies, and he has no interest in nanny work such as taking care of other people's children.
Listening to Mu Chen's words, Alice was even more puzzled: "But why did such a great person end up in such a bleak end?" β
"I'm stupid, I always think I'm doing a great thing, but I don't know how many people's interests are touched by my actions."
Mu Chen asked casually: "The writers of the Western Han Dynasty are wrong, do you know?" β
Alice herself is the most comprehensive knowledge base, and the life of this historical figure can be found in the blink of an eye, and then nodded,
looked at Mu Chen suspiciously, unable to understand why he suddenly mentioned this person.
"This Chao Cuo is a celebrity, he saw the signs of the division of the Western Han Dynasty, in order to help Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty consolidate the throne, he proposed to cut the feudal domain, and figured out a lot of reforms that were beneficial to the dynasty, but unfortunately in the end it touched the interests of many vassal kings, and was surrounded by this group of vassal kings under the banner of the Qing monarch's side, and led troops to surround the imperial city."
"Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty was frightened by these vassal kings, and in order to appease the anger of the vassal kings, he pushed Chao out as a shield, and finally used the torture of beheading, do you say that this guy died unjustly?"
"That Liu Qi doesn't know that Chao Cuo, are these practices all for his good? Apparently clear, otherwise his opinion would not have been adopted. β
"Didn't you kill him without hesitation? Therefore, every one of these politicians from ancient times to the present day has a conscience, and they don't know that they are playing to death with this kind of person. β
Mu Chen knew this, so he stayed away from those forces that recruited him, trying to find a balance in the middle, and not directly become a pawn for all forces to compete for interests.
I thought that by hanging the general's membership on the neutral organization of the Earth Federation, I would be able to jump out of the Three Realms and not be in the Five Elements to get a chance for steady development, but it turned out that I was still too naΓ―ve.
His yellow-skinned and black-eyed appearance has been imprinted with the brand of the Chinese since birth, although the military status has not returned to the country, but in the eyes of all forces, Mu Chen has been regarded as a member of the Chinese forces, and his careful thinking about taking advantage of the fisherman has not worked at all.
He was just an insignificant space frigate captain before, and no one really took him seriously, so there were really not many people who stumbled him, and the few missions he carried out were considered smooth.
But now the situation is different, he has become the supreme commander of a space fleet, and has become a force that no force can ignore, and all forces have used all the means they can to prevent Huaxia's space forces from breaking through their blockade.
And such a Yangmou Mu Chen can only smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, there is no place to reason at all, and the relevant departments of Huaxia's space industry are waiting for Mu Chen to send it to the door with a smile, if he wants to get their help, I am afraid that the price paid will not be small, and even his own freedom will be restricted.
Mu Chen didn't want to be a pawn on the chessboard of these politicians, so he could only bite the bullet and eat all the bitter fruits.
But who knows that even if this is not possible, the task given to Mu Chen by the head of the Earth Federation this time is actually full of dangers, because before this, no one knows what the purpose of Proxima Centauri came to the solar system.
If Proxima Centauri had come to invade the solar system, then Mu Chen's mission this time would be no different from coming to die.
But no one has ever reminded Mu Chen of this possibility, and it is obvious that those forces who are not used to Mu Chen's wall grass have already killed Mu Chen.
But Mu Chen couldn't refuse this task at all, as early as when he accepted the first-class Eagle Medal, his back road had been blocked.
If he refuses to accept this mission, the Earth Federation will immediately come to the news, claiming that Captain Reaper is disobedient to management and afraid of war and death, and those former supporters on Skynet will instantly become accomplices in killing Mu Chen, and believe it or not, Mu Chen's family of four will become an existence like rats crossing the street, and they can be drowned alive by angry netizens with spit.
This is the Earth Federation's praise and killing of Mu Chen, pushing him to the altar and accepting everyone's praise and admiration. Then he was given a life-and-death mission, leaving no choice at all.
This kind of conspiracy made Mu Chen feel deeply afraid, these politicians' tricks were too hidden, and they brought Mu Chen into the trap step by step, and when Mu Chen reacted, it was completely too late.
If it weren't for the sake of his family being able to keep this hard-won A-level citizen treatment, he would even think about running away directly, finding a dark force to join in, and it would be good to be a mountain king.
It's a pity that the family lives in the top villa area with the highest safety factor in Huaxia, is protected 24 hours a day, and is monitored anytime and anywhere.
It can be said that Mu Chen carried out this mission with a mortal heart, so he did not hesitate to refuse his sister's request to join the fleet, even if it was the first time he completely fell out with his sister.
Thankfully, these Proxima Centauri are really here to start a war, as they say, just to find a piece
It's just a place to live, which makes Mu Chen really relieved.
That's why Mu Chen is so enthusiastic about the newcomers to Proxima Centauri, and he's celebrating his escape from death in this way.
It's just a few insignificant supplies and help, and he can buy back his own life, and he can give the battleship to Proxima Centauri.
And after this exchange war, the uninformed people regarded him as a "hero", but they didn't know how lucky the hero in their hearts was.
However, those politicians who planned this mission may not be able to be happy, Mu Chen was able to escape without certain death this time, which is estimated to be beyond the expectations of all of them, and I don't know how many moths will be used to deal with Mu Chen in the future.
This is also the real reason why Mu Chen intends to choose to retire after this mission, he really can't play these despicable politicians.
As for what "heroes", whoever loves to do it does! Anyway, Lao Tzu is no longer playing, and don't want Lao Tzu to be at your mercy anymore!
At this time, the supercomputers behind Alice were flying away, substituting Mu Chen's experience into the algorithm, and she suddenly understood why Mu Chen said the sentence "Heroes are not so easy to do".
Mu Chen can be said to have experienced several dangers since joining the Giant Whale, whether it is on Paradise Island or the subsequent mission to Europa Planet, and then to this time to welcome Proxima Centauri, with the promotion of Mu Chen's rank and the expansion of power, the dangers he faces are also constantly increasing, if it weren't for his good luck and excellent skills, I'm afraid he would have been reincarnated long ago.
Changing to any fleet to carry out Mu Chen's several missions, I am afraid that they are the result of never returning, Mu Chen can create miracles again and again, but who can guarantee that this miracle can be maintained forever.
Mu Chen can continue to defeat powerful opponents, so he is the famous Grim Reaper, and he is the invincible hero in the eyes of the people, but once he fails, what awaits Mu Chen is only death, and those people will completely forget him in a short time, his honors are just yesterday's yellow flowers, and will soon be replaced by the new "gods" created by the Earth Federation.
What is the difference between this ending and those tragic heroes of history? What's more, Mu Chen himself has never thought of being a bullshit hero.
This thing doesn't meet his appetite, if you don't bring it in life, if you don't bring it in death, maybe there will be some fans who admire Mu Chen to give him some adoring glances, but what's the point, people can't live in the worship of others, right?
Mu Chen's most wanted life is just a hot kang for his wife and children, he is not a star, he is surrounded by fans everywhere he goes, and it is not enough for a headache.
In this exchange battle, Mu Chen is worthy of the people who have always supported him, and he finally won a victory for the Earth Federation and put a fig leaf on it. It can be regarded as a heavy punch to Proxima Centauri, telling them that earthlings are not easy to bully, and they will be honest in the future.
Mu Chen felt that he could retire without any worries and regrets, and if he chose to leave at this time, no one had any reason to say anything.
Mu Chen's efforts are worthy of his rank of major general, the Order of the Eagle of the First Class on his chest, and his conscience, which is enough......
β¦β¦
Mu Chen slowly landed the fighter next to the Totayana fighter plane parked on the ground, opened the hatch and walked out.
The Totajana plane's hatch opened at the same time, and Tukam stood up with a dejected expression, the seat behind him automatically sending him to the ground.
"General Mu Chen, I am surprised by your strength, I retract what I said before." Tukam said seriously.
"Captain Tukam's graciousness, you're a great opponent too. This exchange battle allows us earthlings to see the power of Proxima Centauri, and also understand the gap between us, which is the most important thing. Mu Chen said modestly.
"Hehe, looking forward to the next fight, I won't lose to you again."
"Again, I only speak with strength on the battlefield, and other languages are meaningless." Mu Chen said confidently that no matter at any time, he was not afraid of any challenge.
Tukam agrees with Mu Chen's words, the battlefield is never used to quarrel, only strength is the best expression. "You're very kind of to me, and I believe you're the best captain among Proxima Centauri."
"For people like me, there are still many ...... on the earth," Mu Chen said pointedly.
