Faces of All Living Beings (2)
In a certain room of the Botanist, the middle-aged man who had been presiding over the meeting in the conference room was holding his hands behind his back, looking at the starry sky. A young man standing behind him, dressed in an imperial military uniform, was heroic and tall. After a while, the middle-aged man turned around, looked at the young man squarely, and said in a deep voice, "Say, what's wrong." The young man looked a little nervous, rubbed his hands, returned to a straight position, and asked in a loud voice: "Colonel, I don't understand why you didn't report the final inferences of the investigation team truthfully!" As if he had exhausted all his strength, the young man was much more depressed after raising his own questions.
The middle-aged man was not moved, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry. Standing on the opposite side, his proud protΓ©gΓ© asked such a childish question, which made him a little frustrated. This gifted child, who has followed him since he was ten years old, has gone through hundreds of cases, large and small, and has gradually shown a talent that is different. Perhaps it is because of the young man's beautiful vision of the world, he has a strong sense of justice, and he disdains any trickery, in the young man's heart, the world is black and white, and there is no gray. Since the middle-aged man saw the boy's overly rigid character, he tried hard to make the boy make some changes. Now, nearly 10 years later, instead of learning to see the grayness of the world, the teenager has become more and more stubborn.
With a light sigh, the middle-aged man adjusted his emotions, he is also a master and a father, and he always has answers to the boy's questions, and this time, he doesn't want to disappoint the boy. He tapped the boy on the shoulder and motioned for him to sit down. Turning around, the middle-aged man spoke: "The inference of the investigation team can undoubtedly stand up to scrutiny. As I expressed at the end of the meeting, the three members of the coalition were acting suspiciously. Dismantling the tracking device without permission and arranging snipers in advance are enough to show that they are prepared. The information provided to me by the Imperial Intelligence Department indicates that two of them joined the Alliance Westboynt Military Academy three months before the formation of the research team, and the exact origin has not yet been ascertained. I have observed the palms of these two men, and there are several features that indicate that they often use weapons. But at the same time, it is undeniable that they did die at the hands of the student of the Republic. A student from a military academy can use such decisive and spicy means to kill these two opponents with extraordinary origins, do you think this Morning Star will be an ordinary student? β
The boy opened his mouth slightly, but swallowed the words that had reached his mouth.
The middle-aged man was very satisfied that his disciple did not blurt out the thoughts in his heart again, but chose to think more. He sat down in front of the boy and refilled his empty cup with water. "I got to know Morningstar briefly through my connections in the Republic. There was nothing wrong with the young man's resume, a standard republican upbringing, but lacking information from before the age of twelve. Maybe it's mismanagement, maybe it's intentional, but none of this can change the extraordinaryness of this young man. The middle-aged man continued: "How much do you know about the republic. β
The young man glanced at the middle-aged man puzzled, and after a little thought, he replied, "What you mean by these understandings doesn't mean the republic in the eyes of the public, right?" β
"Knowingly ask!"
"I have been in contact with Morningstar's resume before, and many ancient families in the Republic, or the children of powerful people, will have similar growth experiences." The young man searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, which seemed to be the key to finding that glimmer and disappear. "When they are young, they are cultivated by the family, so that they can master the knowledge and abilities that the family wants them to master, and after their hearts are stable, they will enter the society and let them have the life of ordinary people."
The middle-aged man glanced at his disciple with satisfaction, and the way of thinking that had been passed down from generation to generation made them have the same inference about the origin of the morning star, and a rare smile leaked, and the middle-aged man felt that his mood was much lighter. Turning around, he looked at the starry sky again, and said softly: "On the one hand, there are deliberately planted warriors, and on the other hand, there is a family of ancient inheritance, how can such a collision of two forces accept the result because of our inference." Rather than be thankless, it's better to throw a muddy water behind and let them stir things up on their own. β
The young man returned to his room with mixed feelings, and his posture of looking at the starry sky was the same as that of the middle-aged man, and he muttered in the middle-aged man's old-fashioned tone: "Teacher, this is the gray in your mouth!" β
In the experience of growing up as a young man, he has come into contact with countless peers of different backgrounds, whether they are excellent or ordinary, none of them can make him so interested. This morning star, who is about the same age as himself from the Republic, is deeply remembered by young people. Slightly clenched his fist, the young man seemed to have made up his mind, and said in a firm tone: "Morning Star, I hope you can survive, if you are really a student of the Republic, then you who are so good will definitely appear in the tripartite military academy competition next year, and I will become your most powerful opponent!" β
Located in an inconspicuous room of the Union transport ship "Kangaroo", the entire alliance investigation team is sitting at a conference table, and the holographic projection in the main seat is splitting the head and face of the reprimanding investigation team. After venting his anger, the projection on the main seat arranged a new task for the investigation team. As Tina said, this transport ship of the alliance is not a simple, real-time projection conference room, and it should not appear on such a transport ship. This kind of ultra-long-distance information transmission is expensive, and at present, only the main fleets of various countries can be equipped with this technology.
The members of the alliance who had finished the meeting left the conference room in twos and threes, while the only two people who remained at the request of the people on the main seat.
"General, this incident is beyond our estimate of the danger of the mission, the combatant on the Republic side called Morning Star, we suspect that the Republic has planted the scientific research team to obstruct the movement of our personnel." Among the two people left, there was a rickety old man, and when he saw that only the two people who were asked to stay were left in the conference room, he went straight to the point and made a report on the projection on the main seat.
The projection, known as the general, showed obvious displeasure on his face, and among the three people killed, the young man named Nick was his youngest son. I wanted my son to participate in such a secret but relatively safe mission to gild and accumulate political capital for the management of the alliance later, but I didn't expect to make the child die in a foreign country. As a father, his mood is indescribably sad. But as the commander of this covert operation, he can only face the grief of losing his son and point all his anger at Morning Star. Letting go of the messy emotions, the general spoke: "There has been a serious deviation in the assessment of the difficulty of the mission, resulting in the death of three of our warriors, which is a dereliction of duty that you cannot escape!" β
The remaining two people in the conference room immediately expressed their attitude and were willing to take responsibility for this dereliction of duty.
The general refused their request to punish him, because he knew that it was most undesirable to change the generals on the spot, and he could not let his personal emotions affect the whole mission. His own think tank team had already drawn up a follow-up plan, and after arranging it for the two, he turned off the communication.
The two people in the conference room were like amnesty, as old subordinates who had followed the general for decades, although the general did not say it explicitly, they still knew very well that Nick was the general's son. But what they couldn't understand was why Ronald and Dante, the pair of the best in the military, had failed so completely this time with a 100 percent success rate. Ronald's ability is very clear to them, although there are occasional reckless acts, but strong strength can always ensure that there is no danger. And this time Ronald was killed with a knife, which made them have huge doubts about the origin of the morning star.
"Teacher, the general just said that he would send a mecha unit to carry out the follow-up mission? This will not make others suspicious. The other person in the room asked.
The rickety old man waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to worry. In his mind, there was no omission in the secrecy of the alliance's secret mission, and the occurrence of this accident must be a coincidence. As he deduced, the Republic and the Empire were in no idea of the true purpose of the Alliance's trip. And the arrangements made by the Republic are also based on the prevention of accidents.
At the exit of the space-time channel closest to Alpha 137, three ships with the Republic mark slowly sailed out, and on the bridge of the capital ship Xuande, several soldiers dressed in the uniforms of the officers of the Republic Space Fleet were nervously formulating follow-up plans.
The army responsible for guarding the space-time passage is composed of three parties. At such a sensitive point in time, three main battleships of the Republic appeared, which made some people in the guard extremely nervous. After contacting the small fleet from the Republic, the reward was a skirmish to destroy the interstellar pirates. After verification, the three Republic ships slowly sailed into the depths of space. In the days that followed, small fleets of the Empire and the Alliance passed through the space-time passage for a variety of reasons.
Although the fleets sent by the three parties all have similar goals, the superficial article still needs to be sufficient. The alliance side harbored evil intentions, and they were naturally nervous, afraid that their true purpose would be known to the other two. Out of its understanding of Morning Star himself, as well as the promotion of the forces behind it, the Republic also raised the incident to a high alert level, vowing to find out the truth of the incident. The empire, on the other hand, felt the smell of conspiracy because of the excessive tension of the other two parties, and decided to increase investment in advance.
At this point, the original dispensable Alpha 137 planet danced wildly, and the powder appeared.
