Chapter 45: Abandoning Space
The committee members are afraid to go out, which means that the efficiency of work is even more unbearable.
Although communications are well developed, the committee members can control the situation through the network even if they do not go out of the country, but the effect is naturally much worse. The various institutions in the committee building, because they rarely saw the members who came to supervise again, gradually began to slack off, so that Claire almost pulled out a gun and killed someone.
In the near paralyzed situation, there is one person who is still doing his part, and that is Claire.
Although Anna has a bad temper and is authoritarian, she still has a good ability to read people. While quelling the riots, Claire refuses to carry out Anna's order to hunt down the rioters, and Anna is indeed angry. But she saw that Claire was a steady, conscientious person, and a trustworthy person.
So, she handed over the Central City garrison to Claire, and gave Claire the task of forming a new ground force.
There is a lot to be done to form a new ground force, and Claire is busy. However, once she moves, the various institutions that can't keep up with her pace are inevitable, and she can't help but get angry.
Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and almost killed the person in charge of finance who was procrastinating and delaying the arrival of the required funds. Fortunately, the person next to her stopped her, and she herself calmed down in time and controlled herself.
After another busy day, when she got home, Shu Yunpeng was waiting for her.
"What are you busy with?" After she let Shu Yunpeng into the house, Shu Yunpeng said as soon as he opened his mouth: "You are busy with the entire alliance alone, why bother?" ”
"Since I've taken over this job, what if I'm not busy?" Claire said.
"Take your time!" Shu Yunpeng said: "Not counting the police, not counting the troops in a few fortresses, there are 35,000 garrison troops alone, defending the central city, and the strength is enough." ”
"It's mainly busy building a marine unit......" As soon as Claire entered the door, she sat down on the couch: "If you don't help, forget it, and talk cold!" ”
"I'm here to help you!" Shu Yunpeng sat next to Claire and reached out to stroke her hair: "You should use your own brains, don't always follow other people's batons to turn ......"
"If you want to be sarcastic, I'll ask ......" Claire closed her eyes and enjoyed it, his stroking made her very pleasant: "I'm anxious anyway......"
"I'm serious!" Shu Yunpeng stopped stroking, making her a little disappointed: "You think, the current situation is that if the negotiations with the Jones can reach an agreement, then the foreign war can come to an end." And what kind of troops did you build new? ”
"What troops?"
"It's a foreign war unit!" Shu Yunpeng said: "The motivation for forming this force is that I pointed out that the Jones people have strong air power but few people, and they dare not land and fight. The committee simply gave up air warfare and downsized the space fleet in order to seek stability on the ground and strengthen the ground forces......"
Hearing this, Claire jumped up: "That's right! Doesn't that seem too right? ”
"That's right! Think about it, since the Jones didn't dare to land, why did this army build it? …… If the negotiations are successful, the war against the Jones is over for the time being, and the Jones will not land, what is the reason for the creation of new Marine troops? ”
Claire was silent, she felt that she was right by Shu Yunpeng, this new army was indeed the product of the committee's lack of progress.
"Why didn't you say it earlier?" She felt very frustrated, her hard work was tantamount to useless work, and no one could accept such a thing.
"I said the other day that it didn't seem right to give up space flights. But you can say that according to the current situation of mankind, interstellar voyages and interstellar migration are extravagant dreams. I thought about it, and it seemed like this was the truth. ”
Shu Yunpeng groaned and said: "However, later I thought about another level, only to find out that the decision to build a new ground force was made again, wasting resources and wasting money for the people!" ”
Claire sat down, frustrated and a little angry.
"Don't be upset," Shu Yunpeng comforted, his hand stroking Claire's hair again: "This army will still come in handy...... Now that the anti-** armed forces are coming and going, I estimate that the garrison troops are guarding the central city, and the new army is likely to be sent to exterminate the anti-** armed forces...... Anyway, earthlings like to kill each other, didn't this happen for 10,000 years? ”
"Then what do you say, do you want to kill it or not?" Claire is a bit of a master, she is also very reluctant to fight a civil war, and she is likely to be sent to command the force that exterminates the anti-** forces. So, she asked Shu Yunpeng again, as if he was her chief of staff.
"Whoa! They are also too rampant, not only stirring up the chickens and dogs in the gathering area, but also moving in Central City, and they can't do it anymore. ”
Clairemer was silent, and unconsciously leaned on Shu Yunpeng's body. She was physically and mentally exhausted, but her heart suddenly relaxed, and gradually, she fell asleep hazy.
I don't know how long later, she suddenly woke up and found that she was lying on the sofa, her head resting on Shu Yunpeng's legs.
She opened her eyes and saw Shu Yunpeng looking down at her with a smile, embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I used you as a pillow......
"It's okay, you're too tired...... Shu Yunpeng said as he stroked her hair.
"Listen to you, take your time, you won't be so tired in the future!" She laughed, still resting on his legs: "Have you been to the lover's fortress again?" Is it okay over there? ”
"Fortunately, it's quite quiet," Shu Yunpeng nodded: "Now there are a lot more people there, and the weapons and equipment are good, the anti-** armed forces may be a little scared!" However, the situation in other agglomerations is not good. I've heard that there are two agglomerations that can't be contacted! ”
"Really?" Seeing his serious expression, Claire asked, "You seem to care about the gathering place, not only the lover's fortress, but also other gathering places?" ”
"Yes," he replied truthfully, "in my world, I am an ordinary person at the bottom, accustomed to caring about the lives of ordinary people and paying attention to the needs of ordinary people. ”
"But you don't care about me, you don't care about my needs!"
"Who said that as soon as I heard that you almost shot someone in the building, I immediately ran over, and I didn't care enough about you?"
"And now?"
"I care!" "Of course I do," he said. ”
"Now I need you to kiss me!" She smiled and looked him in the eye.
He looked at her and leaned over with a smile, she closed her eyes and waited...... But his hand was quicker, and at once it reached into her armpit. Her body straightened up because of his grasp, and then rolled uncontrollably to the ground.
She laughed, laughing so hard that she collapsed on the ground and gasped: "You're so bad......"
