Xiao Baoshi took the kettle handed over by the guard, took a sip, cleared his throat before continuing, "I don't know, why do you want Brownstone Star, but no problem, I don't want to ask or want to know, anyway, let the heads of state sit down and negotiate with you, and my task will be completed." But relying on violence and terrorism, using kidnapping, I don't think it's reliable. ”

"This county is the proof I gave you, in the same situation, can you find someone who does better than me? If so, you should go to him, and if not, I'm your only option. ”

"If you really want to get there, I'm going to invest in the next round now."

Tom Lee shook his head, "A county town can't prove anything." ”

"Then you can read on, but my patience is limited, if you look at it for too long, maybe you don't have to negotiate with the heads of state, but you have to negotiate with me. Trust me, I'll definitely send the fat man to talk to you. Xiao Baoshi said half-seriously and half-jokingly.

Tom Lee drew a map of the sixty teams' precincts as he spoke, "Looks like you have a lot of confidence in yourself." Well, I'll look at it, and if it's worth it, I'll give you the investment you want. ”

The county seat did not settle down until the afternoon, Xiao Baoshi never entered the city again, and the two companies led by Colonel Kate did not enter the city. Fat Man and Liu Yiyi quickly integrated the sixty teams into an infantry regiment with six battalions under its jurisdiction. Then, in addition to leaving a platoon of guard company soldiers to act as a gendarme in the county town, even the fat man and Liu Yiyi also withdrew to join Xiao Baoshi.

"Captain, what if those revolutionaries can't control the situation?" The fat man is not without worries.

When he integrated the team, he found that most of them were bandits and robbers, and the reason why they came to fight the county seat was because the soldiers sent out by Xiao Baoshi directly convinced them; Another point is that I think that there will be a lot of benefits in laying down the county. Grab money, food, and women.

But now that the gendarmerie is in the county town, it is obviously impossible to let these bandits do whatever they want.

And the people on the side of the revolutionary party are still persuading the county magistrate that the control of the troops is not ordinarily bad.

"We're not babysitters, and we don't put all our eggs in one basket." Xiao Baoshi obviously has his own thoughts about this matter, he is supporting the growth of the revolutionary party, but if the revolutionary party cannot meet his requirements and cannot support the horse, Xiao Baoshi does not care.

Liu Yiyi heard the song and knew the elegant meaning: "When the ugliness of the revolutionary party is exposed, the people we sent have also become the elite of the natives." ”

This is also the purpose of why Xiao Baoshi sent personnel.

Alien forces, whether they are foreign, foreign, or alien, will always make people feel uncomfortable, a kind of subconscious resistance.

After the incorporation of those small bandits, slowly, these dispatched personnel had a background, and if they had a background, they had roots, which was enough to replace the roots of the revolutionary party.

When Tom Li was dissatisfied and went to rest, Xiao Baoshi called the fat man and Liu Yiyi over one by one, "We can't take the brownstone star, unless there is a miracle." In fact, we don't need to take Brownstone, maybe Brownstone will become a base against the kingdom of heaven, and it can stop the machines from destroying intelligent life, but what is the point of that for us? ”

"Then what are we doing now?" Liu Yiyi is very direct.

And this directness is based on mutual trust.

Trust without gaps.

"There are only two paths, one is the way we can set foot on the way home; One is that you can't go back. Xiao Baoshi can see that he has thought about this issue many times, and he is not flustered at all when he says it.

The fat man didn't make a gag at this moment, he didn't know the severity.

"If we can get additional investment from Tom Lee, we'll go."

Regardless of whether Liu Yiyi or the fat man, there is no objection to this.

And the fat man then said his opinion, "Then the second way, that is, if there is no additional investment, it is said that the brownstone star will have to go around even zero, then the heavenly machine, most likely, will also avoid here." We're on Brownstone Star and rebuild the Coastal City of our memories! ”

Xiao Baoshi held the fat man's hand and said to him categorically, "No! ”

"No eggs!" The fat man directly pushed Xiao Baoshi back.

He had his reason "We pretend that we can really go back, and pretend that maybe the earth is not destroyed as Zero says." Well, where is the earth? Captain, you tell me! He yelled at Liu Yiyi, "Or, sister, do you know which direction?" Nobody knows! We don't even know where the Earth is! How to get back? Not to mention, when we go back, everyone we know will be dead! I'm going back to the birds! ”

The fat man said, tears streaming down his eyes, "Captain, my peace of mind is my hometown, let's not lie to ourselves, just here, live well!" ”

Xiao Baoshi handed the fat man a pack of tissues, shook his head and said, "I want to too, but I'm afraid, I have calculated again and again, the consequences of our stopping, we can't stop." ”

"Of course, you can name any place as Marina City, but we all know that this is not home."

"Don't want to stop, fat man, don't have this thought, once we stop, we're finished."

"We don't have an interstellar race with a thousand-year-long lifespan; We didn't have any high-tech training, all we had was to keep moving forward, and as soon as we stopped, all the disadvantages would emerge. ”

"Including those unscrupulous people who call me the leader now, maybe they will betray one day and turn their guns on us, this is not surprising, we can share weal and woe and not share wealth and nobility, the list is endless, right, fat man?"

"We want to go home, and as long as this faith is not extinguished, nothing can stop us."

"While we are still moving forward, we carry them forward, never stopping! It can cover up a lot of defects. ”

"yes, I'm fucking selfish! The three of us, and Angela, all have to live well! ”

That night, Xiao Baoshi thought he was extremely selfish.

He didn't think what he was doing was for the people of Vanity or Brownstone;

Just for myself, just for the hometown that I don't know where in the stars.

He rejected greatness and worship, and he never considered himself a big man.

He even said to the fat man and Liu Yiyi, "We are brushing the high-speed rail ticket home for the Spring Festival." ”

So grassroots, so humble.

But often there are many things in the world,

will always be out of control,

Glide into unknowable trajectories.
