Chapter 155: Shatu Clan

"At my age, I often look at things differently, black is not necessarily black, and white is not necessarily white." It was still the secretary of state's kind smile, and the flat tone seemed to be telling a story from a long time ago, and the object of listening was changed to the Red Devil, and beside her, a team of sixth-order mercenaries was a little listless.

More than two hundred years ago, there was a change in the Auga Empire, to put it bluntly, it was a private fight between families, at that time, there were several private fights every year, ordinary people were kept in the dark, and nobles had long been commonplace. In that incident, the Leo family was uprooted overnight, Leo is a wealthy family in the empire, the tree has deep roots, once it falls, the people who are implicated are naturally indispensable, and the other party is also ruthless, all the Leo family's henchmen in the empire's territory are not spared, but there are exceptions.

Under the command of the Leo family, there was a brave and warlike general Shatu, who was leading a group of elite troops in Cape Franish to fight a bloody battle with a strong enemy in the outer lands, and received bad news from the imperial capital.

The next day, an order came from the imperial capital to list General Shatu and his elite troops as rebels. Poor General Shatu, who was still fighting bloodily for the Aojia Empire yesterday, became a rebel overnight, even if he didn't think for himself, he couldn't ignore his children and subordinates, and he was cornered, and the soldiers under his command really rebelled.

If it was the identity of the rebels, the Augar Empire would have been exterminated no matter what, and General Shatu was very clever in his approach, he first led his troops to fight a major battle with the enemy army, causing the illusion of heavy casualties, and convincing the empire that the elite troops he led were almost completely wiped out in the war, and then led the people to flee to the outer lands.

Since then, the Empire has lost a valiant special forces, and the Outlands have a more disciplined alternative breed of pirates.

There are countless similar stories in the Augar Empire, but the Red Devils are difficult to calm down, and the Secretary of State is not telling absurd stories, but bloody facts, as a member of the story, even if two hundred years have passed, it will never feel dull.

The Red Devil struggled to keep his composure and asked, "Now that the Secretary of State knows where the pirates came from, what are you going to do with them?" ”

The Secretary of State sighed and said, "The Shatu clan is also a general, although they have suffered some grievances, why should they become pirates?" Time has passed, it is better to disband the army, find a place to be incognito, the military is handled by the old man, and the Red Devil has been exterminated, what do you think? ”

Hearing this, the Red Devil smiled and said: "The Secretary of State came to talk to me in person, not mentioning the disparity in the strength of the two sides, not mentioning that the Shatu clan is at the end of the road, but expressing the grievances of the Shatu clan, I am grateful, but unfortunately the kindness of the Secretary of State, I can only understand it." Two hundred years ago, the Shatu clan was wronged and became a rebel for no reason, and now it is unclear that he is recruiting peace, which I can't accept. ”

The Secretary of State was not surprised by the refusal, and said with a smile: "You are not willing to be wronged by the Shatu clan, so you led the crowd back to Cape Flandish, provoked the Augar Empire three times and twice, and made a big fuss about the Imperial Academy, say, what do you want?" ”

The Red Devil was silent for a moment, then said, "I think Your Excellency the Secretary of State is unfair. Since you know that Shatu has been wronged, why don't you show us the snow? You spoke out about the grievances of the Shatu family, but you didn't mention that it was the Chen family who did it, is it possible that the Secretary of State is also afraid of the power of the Chen family, or is the Secretary of State and the Chen family in-laws, and the third son of Chen is still your favorite grandson. ”

Instead of being annoyed, the Secretary of State raised a smile when he heard this: "You really have a plan to show the snow for the Shatu clan and let the family's name see the light of day." ”

The Red Devil suddenly stood up and said with an oath: "It is not difficult for the Secretary of State to recruit us, as long as I have two conditions. ”

The Secretary of State sighed faintly: "You say." ”

The Red Devil said word by word: "But I ask the adults to return my Shatu clan's innocence." ”

The Secretary of State smiled and said: "Although you were wronged at the beginning, you became a pirate after all, and you have a bad record over the years, and now you have to be innocent, don't you think it's too late?" What's more, the Shatu clan has passed down to the present, and there is only one daughter left, and you can't do anything anymore, let alone make a comeback, maybe you will attract the enemies of the past and cause the disaster of killing, so is your innocence so important? Wouldn't it be better to be incognito? ”

The Red Devil argued: "The ancestors exchanged their lives and blood for the glory of the Shatu family, as a son, who dares to say that it is not important? Ever since I was sensible, I have often seen my father looking at the empire from afar, and the old man died of depression before he was fifty years old. It is the mission of the successive Shatu family masters to bring the descendants of the Shatu clan to the light of day, and I have many brothers who were sent to other countries as soon as they were born, and have never been pirates for a day. The Leo family did not know the right and wrong ancestors, and fought bravely for the empire, but in the end they were implicated and became a rebel. The ancestors were forced by the situation, although they robbed the passing ships over the years, but never killed innocents indiscriminately, and the robbed finances, we are willing to hand over the money, the stains of the past, we are also willing to make the merits for the crime, as long as the Shatu family is innocent, we are willing to fight for the country. ”

The grievances of the Shatu clan are only an insignificant one in the history of private fighting in the empire, but this plot still moved the secretary of state slightly, and he was silent for a moment before frowning: "You thousands of people can still dominate one side and fight for the country in Cape Flands, and it is not enough to serve as cannon fodder." Although you are young and knowledgeable, your ancestors have learned a lesson after all, and you have no backer, and your group of soldiers is transferred to be cannon fodder, and the people who see you are not pleasing to the eye just take advantage of this to cut you to the roots. ”

The Red Devil said resolutely: "The ancestor was forced to be a pirate by the situation, and he regretted it afterwards, and now he has the opportunity to avenge his grievances, how can he make mistakes again and again, as long as he can return the innocence of the Shatu family and fight for the country, it is not a pity for the children of the Shatu family to die." ”

The secretary of state asked with a smile: "You little girl is stubborn, the old man Gu Nian Shatu is the queen of the gate, and he has made great achievements for the empire, so he specially gave you a way to live, you don't know what to do, you have to go to the end of the road." The old man asked you, do you know what is wrong with the Shatu family to get to where it is today? ”

The Red Devil shook his head and said, "Please give me advice." ”

The Secretary of State said: "If your ancestors hadn't made up their minds to become pirates, would you still have today's Shatu clan, your Shatu clan was wiped out as a rebel army two hundred years ago, who can show you the snow?" The Shatu clan fought for the country, and countless children died, so why should it be wrong? You can't even understand such a simple truth, the day the Shatu clan sees the light of day is the day of annihilation! ”

The words were so loud that the Red Devils broke out in a cold sweat.

The Secretary of State continued: "The big families of the Oga Empire are in a private fight, and they are implicated, and it is not only the Shatu family who has been wronged. To say that the Shatu clan has ended up in today's situation, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than following the wrong person. After all, the grievances of the Shatu clan are related to the Chen family, who dares to get close to you? Without a background, it is a miracle that your army can be preserved, let alone the merits of the crime. ”

The Red Devil was mistaken for a moment, and hurriedly said, "The Shatu clan is willing to swear to follow the Lord to the death. ”

The Secretary of State couldn't help laughing: "You are called a sick person who rushes to the doctor, and others are unwilling to get close to you, although they are afraid of the Chen family, but they also have no intention of offending the Chen family for you." No one else is willing, can the old man be willing? What's more, the old man and the Chen family are still in-laws. For the Shatu family, it is difficult to say, it is difficult to ascend to the sky, who wants to offend the Chen family for the family that has disappeared for two centuries, not to mention that the Shatu family has been reduced to pirates and nobles in the past two hundred years, and no one wants to have anything to do with pirates. It's easy to say that it's simple, the Chen family is dealing with the Leo family, and the Shatu family is just implicated, and more than two hundred years have passed, and it has long been faded. If you gain a new foothold in the empire, you will inevitably pass the threshold of the Chen family. ”

The Red Devil had long been convinced, and looked like he was listening to the teachings: "What should I do, and please make it clear to my lordship?" ”

The secretary of state said depressedly: "What the old man said is not clear enough? ”

The Red Devil was not stupid, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Thank you for your support, I will immediately inform my subordinates to cross the Ghost Sand Point and take refuge in the outer regions for a while, and in addition, I will persuade the other two teams of pirates in Flemish Point to let them retreat to the outer regions as well." ”

The Secretary of State smiled when he heard this: "Except for the Chen family, no one dares to contain you, even if you can join other families, can the Chen family see that you can be comfortable?" The Chen family regards you as a thorn in the eye, your life will not be easy, and it is even more foolish to dream if you want to come out, instead of touching like a fly without a head, it is better to throw yourself into the Chen family, the so-called wealth and danger are sought, you are a girl with courage and knowledge, if you make up your mind, take my message to the Chen family. ”

Hearing this, the Red Devil said gratefully: "Thank you, my lord, I still have a request?" ”

The Secretary of State said without changing his face: "Say." ”

The Red Devil said, "The person who plotted against me just now must be your subordinate?" This person plotted twice, I didn't know what I planted, and I wanted to find him to settle my personal grudges. ”

The Secretary of State almost laughed, but said categorically: "No! You can't even let go of your personal grievances, how will you take charge of the Shatu family in the future? The old man is kind enough to help you, don't let the old man regret seeing the wrong person. ”

Although the Red Devil didn't know about the relationship between the Secretary of State and Chen Fang, on the one hand, it was a family business, and on the other hand, it was a personal grudge, which was more important, she still knew which was more important, and she didn't dare to mention it again at the moment.

The secretary of state continued to teach a lesson: "The old man will explain to you more, since you have accepted Zhao'an, the Red Devil will no longer exist, don't mention the matter of the Shatu clan becoming a pirate, let this stain become a secret, the Chen family is also in chaos now, many children are competing for the position of the head of the family, this time, if you follow the wrong person again, the Shatu clan will really die a pity, so you can do it yourself." ”

Erase the stains of the past! The long-cherished wish of more than a dozen generations has come so simply and beyond expectations, and the Secretary of State has taught the Red Devils the most vivid lesson, and at the same time made her understand a truth, in order to make the Shatu clan rise again, you must first follow the right people.

Tears blurred his vision, the Red Devil couldn't believe what he heard, but the old man in front of him was indeed the most admired secretary of state in the empire, looking at the Aojia Empire, I am afraid that only he has the ability to Zhaoxue for the Shatu clan, just with this kindness, even if the Shatu clan is shattered, it is difficult to repay the liver and brain, and the old man just smiled, and then interrupted the video.

After dealing with the Red Devils, the Secretary of State immediately contacted Lu Beiyan, the voices of international questioning were endless, the anti-war voices in the country were rising, and there were many dreams at night, no matter what, first push the battle to the second step, and burn the war to the established thirteen planets, war is such a thing, it is difficult to fight, and it is even more difficult to stop.

Everything was solved without shock, Lu Beiyan's heart fell to the ground, and he put his son-in-law in the vanguard fleet, it was indeed his intention to attack, but fortunately, this kid was angry, and he was in the limelight in the early stage, and he lived up to his thoughts, although the later stage was full of dangers, but the disposal was very beautiful. Speaking of which, recruiting the Red Devil is still a great achievement, but this kind of thing is not visible, so naturally it cannot be credited.

Six hours later, Lu Beiyan sent back the good news to the military headquarters, the Red Devil pirate gang was destroyed, the rest of the pirates fled one after another, and the anti-bandit operation came to an end.

First of all, the Führer praised the success of the suppression of the bandits, followed by a second order, which called for a resolute crackdown on the evil forces that were hiding behind the scenes and secretly supporting the pirates.

Judging from the interval between the two orders, it was clear that they were issued together, Lu Beiyan checked the order in his hand, and said meaningfully: "This order is very heavy, and the Führer's life is not easy, if you don't defeat the forces that secretly support the pirates, no one will have a hard time!" This is the reason why Lu Mou advocates recruiting An, this matter, Lu Mou does not want to hear any rumors in the future, do you understand? ”

Those who can sit in the swing room are all smart people, and Zhao'an is for the overall situation, and since it has become a fact, even if it is publicized in the future, it cannot change anything, and the wise thing to do is of course to be silent, so Lu Beiyan, as before, did not hear any doubts.

"The super fleet loaded with six million mechs is divided into five routes, and it was on the road two hours ago, everyone, the battle is not over, but has just begun, we must work together with the Führer to overcome the difficulties." Lu Beiyan smiled with satisfaction, simply explained the next step, and hurried to the airport.

The war has entered the second link, and the troops belonging to the Flame Star are no longer the focus, but are only responsible for the defense of Cadolan, of course, this task is not easy, and the hostile forces are also very clear that Cadolan is the death hole of the Imperial fleet.

Back in Kadoran, Chen Fang was immediately ordered to rush to Xiu Nanxing, it seems that his father-in-law was also a false alarm, and he didn't dare to play Xuan anymore, so he was transferred back to his side and arranged a staff position.

Revisiting the old land, Chen Fang was stunned by the scene in front of him, and the dense fleet was like flies, surrounding this once deserted planet like an iron bucket.

The repair star blocked by the Federation, in the past, even a transport boat could not be seen, but now it is a single can't fly out, of course, it can't get in, this momentum is much more spectacular than the mercenary association's action in the Hall Star, all the way slowly sailing by, there are no less than five large detection ships alone, this kind of ship has the same role as a satellite, but the function is more powerful, and now if anyone dares to urinate in the field or something, it can be immediately filmed.

As soon as Lu Beiyan entered the flagship, he heard a burst of cheers. Seeing is believing, hearing is false, but the hearsay is often more divine than the truth, and the rumor that this young man saved the operation of the bandits, and also saved the vanguard fleet trapped in Cape Franment, not only exaggerated the facts, but also deleted the disgraceful side.

Lu Beiyan spared no effort to help his son-in-law build momentum, and it was not all out of selfishness, first of all, the son-in-law has the capital to build momentum, and the troops need heroes, and the upcoming landing battle needs heroes, and another hero of this crackdown on bandits, Jem, is standing by Lu Beiyan's side at this moment, his face is a little ugly.

In the eyes of the people, his brilliance is unparalleled, but when the bandit operation is coming to an end, this hero who was carried away by victory did something stupid, he dared to disobey the order and privately pursue the remnants of Shuo Lie and Little Bill, and it is not difficult to imagine that Jem returned in vain, not only did he get a reward, but was scolded instead.

Upon learning of the marshal's second-step plan, Jem had nothing to say and was willing to accept military justice. Because he disobeyed the order halfway, it was enough to delay the departure of the super fleet of the Aojia Empire for three hours, and it was not too much to correct him on the spot with this alone, but Lu Beiyan stepped forward to save his life after scolding him.

Although Jem is arrogant, he is desperate for Lu Beiyan, and he also knows that the glory of this suppression of bandits is also given by the marshal, and the commander of the second fleet is not that he can't send anyone else except him, this is the marshal's cultivation, but unfortunately he lived up to the marshal's expectations.

After coming to the Martyrdom Star, Jem was silent, but secretly made a heavy oath that the Martyrdom Star was the place where he charged, and even if he threw his life on this planet, he would atone for his sins.

Lu Beiyan didn't say much, he just looked at everything, it is not easy to cultivate a talent, but the military law is simple, kill someone with a click, who to find to charge? Who can die for you?

Seeing his son-in-law return safely, Lu Beiyan immediately smiled: "It's just the right time to come, I heard that you have been in the Cultivation Star of Martyrdom, tell me about the situation below." ”
