35: Can you give it a try?
"A republic?" Admiral Anderson was a little ...... about the request made by the People's Revolutionary Federation. I don't know what expression to use to deal with.
Especially now that the earth is basically paralyzed, the existence of all national polities has disappeared, all colonial planets have fallen, and more than half of the Star Alliance fleet has been lost.
Admiral Anderson couldn't even find anyone to discuss with him, and even his promotion was in the line of fire.
Not only did those who were higher than him die cleanly, but a lot of those who were lower than him died.
Circling around, Admiral Anderson found that Shepard was the only one left to discuss the matter with him......
You must know that Shepard's military rank that has landed in the Star Alliance so far is still "Lieutenant Colonel", but everyone is used to calling Shepard "Shepard Commander".
After the "self-expression" of the Mass Effect trilogy, most of the top warriors in the galaxy, regardless of whether their relationship with Shepard is good or bad, will use this title to refer to Shepard.
As for why such a big hero is only a lieutenant colonel until now, it is not that the Star Alliance does not know people or deliberately suppresses it.
Starlink really wants to give Shepard a promotion.
But here's the problem......
At the beginning, Shepard saved the Citadel (the first generation of the plot) - and then immediately followed the commendation order before it arrived, and hung up (the opening plot of the second generation)
Shepard is resurrected, and everyone is overjoyed to give Shepard another promotion, and Shepard joins Cerberus, the organization that resurrects himself.
Later, Shepard withdrew from Cerberus, and the Star Alliance immediately activated the recall agreement, intending to let the big hero return to the team and be promoted to the third rank - as a result, Shepard blew up the repeater and killed 300,000 Batarians by the way, causing a great diplomatic dispute (second-generation plot)
If it weren't for the efforts of Admiral Hackett and General Anderson, and the fact that Commander Shepard did these things was not wrong, it is estimated that the Star Alliance would have had the mind to drag Shepard out and shoot him ten thousand times.
In the end, the earth was lost, and the long-awaited Shepard led the fleets of the entire galaxy and even called the fleets of the other world.
Then all but General Anderson was able to give her a promotion...... At this time, General Anderson did not have the energy to waste time to slay a star on Shepard's shoulder.
Shepard, in particular, has now left the Star Federation again and joined the Human Revolution Federation.
…… That said, it's really not a good thing to discuss with Shepard.
However, General Anderson, who was really uncomfortable, finally approached Shepard to see what she thought.
Commander Shepard, who was packing up his things at the "house" of the "general...... wondered: "Is it really appropriate to ask me about this kind of thing?" ”
"It should be appropriate, and there is no one to ask......" At Shepard's house in the Citadel, General Anderson took out a bottle of wine from a secret compartment and poured two glasses, "It seems that those reapers" are interested in these things. ”
Although the Citadel fell into the hands of the Reapers, it appears that the Reapers did not clean up the artificial structures on the Citadel...... Or rather, there is no time to clean up.
As for why General Anderson is so familiar with Shepard's house, of course, it is not because he often goes to Shepard's house to eat, but because this house was originally given to Shepard by Anderson.
"Is the situation bad?" Shepard, who was also not so concerned about General Anderson's drinking behavior, took a sip and asked.
"The situation may be even worse than we can imagine, and I don't even dare to give the order to conduct a demographic count." General Anderson said with a sigh.
General Anderson, who has been on Earth to fight guerrilla warfare since occupying the Earth as a Reaper, has seen with his own eyes how those Reapers treat their captives.
In order to preserve the only resistance he had, General Anderson watched countless times as his compatriots who were close at hand could not come to the rescue.
"Don't worry about it, the Human Revolution Federation has already counted the remaining population of the earth with thirteen million, counting the Star Federation's side ......," Shepard said with a sigh.
“…… Is that all? General Anderson sighed.
Although much of Earth's population has fled to colonize other planets with the spread of Mass Effect technology, there are billions of dollars left.
The doorbell rang, and the two veterans who were sighing moved their eyes to the door of the room at the same time, they were curious who would come back to visit at this time...... Well, no one else will come to visit at this time.
Sure enough, outside the door was a large family of Mi Shan, and the first thing Mi Sakura who walked in front of him was to search up and down this double-storey duplex apartment with a total area of 1,000 square meters...... In a place like the Divine Castle, where every inch of land is at a premium, the value of such a duplex luxury apartment is about the same as that of the courtyard house of the first ring of the imperial capital of Mishan's hometown, and it may even be dozens of times higher.
When she finally found out that Anderson was alone, Yone-Sakura complained with a hint of disdain: "The taste is really heavy." ”
"......" Shepard was stunned for at least ten seconds before he understood what Yone-Sakura was talking about, and with a slight amount of wine, he pounced directly and scuffled with Yone-Sakura.
"Is there no one anymore?" Mishan walked over to the couch.
Seeing that Mishan wanted to sit down, Baiji immediately followed and took out a piece of brocade and covered it on the sofa...... In fact, there is an automatic cleaning that is dust-free.
Hearing Yonesugi's words, Shepard, who was scuffling with Yone, raised his head and said, "They...... It's just that...... It's just not ...... yet Come on, ......"
"Then they don't have to come again...... Greenhill began, "only the pure body can be with the adults." ”
“??” Greenhill's words made Shepard stunned for a moment, only to be pressed under him by a counterattack by Michelle.
"What the hell? What pure body? I'm almost old, and I'm still pure! Shepard, who was crushed under Yone, was speechless.
"Oh, didn't Dad say you were a two-way plug?" Mirin, who was crouching aside and looking at her sister and Shepard, asked.
“…… RUA! Shepard, who learned this sentence without a teacher, said: "Who is the two-way plug!" ”
Seeing Shepard's appearance as a yellow girl, Mi Shan slapped his head and remembered that when he seemed to choose a female Shepard, he had never interacted with a male NPC in the game where certain interactions could occur.
…… After all, as a player, watching your female character interact with male NPCs in this way...... The taste is too weird.
Regardless of what other players think, Rice Shan doesn't have this taste anyway.
Mi Indica looked at Yage and Shepard, who were rolling together, with retarded eyes, walked to the piano by the windowsill in the living room and sat down, tried the tone, and began to play.
As a game character of Mishan, although Mi Indica also has some other tracks, the most proficient ones are the songs of Mishanhui.
Accompanied by a piano version of the tavern tune, and the sound of Mirin and Shepard fighting, General Anderson came up to Mishan with a bottle and asked, "Would you like a drink?" ”
"That's why I'm here for Shepard, sit down." Obviously in Shepard's house, Mishan assumed the posture of a master.
Missen, who still got the wine glass under the service of Greenhill and Becky, toasted General Anderson and asked:
"Have you thought about it? Something about the union republics. ”
"Please give us some time to discuss this." General Anderson said.
"You guys? Without you, if I'm not mistaken, you're the only one who can decide now, Shepard...... Or maybe it's just you. Mishan said.
"We can't decide the future of other people." General Anderson said.
"But you need to lead them to a better future." Mi Shan immediately followed.
"Is it better?" General Anderson hesitated.
"At least it is better than it is now, at least under the banner of the People's Revolutionary Federation, you will witness a wider world." Mishan said as he finished drinking the rest of the wine in the cup in one gulp.
Seeing that General Anderson was still hesitating, Mi Shan smiled and said, "You can try it first, and you don't need money anyway...... Well, in fact, I want money, but there are three packs of service. ”
"......" General Anderson looked surprised, can this kind of thing still be tried? As for the back of the money and the three-pack service, General Anderson did not hear it.
