Shaposhnikov was almost so angry with this unreasonable woman that he jumped up, and it took a lot of effort to suppress the anger in his heart and said: "Miss Natasha, Rasputin is just a bodyguard robot, since country R needs it, why are you so stingy?" Can you bear to put the safety of your country at risk? Have you ever wondered what the public would think of you if they found out about it? ”

"General, do you have a robot like Rasputin by your side?" Natalia asked.

"Nope." Shaposhnikov shook his head and said.

As a high-ranking general of the R Army, most of the mecha warriors he has come into contact with are steel-bodied, and of course, it is impossible to have a high-end simulation robot like Rasputin at home.

"Then it's no wonder you can't understand." "General, to be honest, Rasputin is not just my personal property, in my mind, he is more like a family member of mine. Family! Do you see what I mean? Of course, for the sake of the country's safety, I am willing to contribute what I should contribute, but Rasputin cannot! ”

"Huh, family?" Shaposhnikov couldn't help but snort coldly and said, "Miss Natasha, you don't think of her as your husband, do you?" ”

A trace of displeasure flashed on Natalia's face when she heard this, but she quickly returned to normal and said lightly: "Whatever you say, General." This is my private matter, you can't control it! ”

Shaposhnikov stared into Natalia's eyes for half a minute, until he was sure that the richest woman had no intention of changing his words at all, and then he stood up in chagrin and helplessness.

"Well, as you wish!" He nodded and said, "Miss Natasha, it's better if I haven't been here!" ”

"Glishka, help me deliver the general." Natalia said.

"No need, I know the way myself!" Shaposhnikov angrily refused.

Rasputin had already helped him remove his coat, and another servant opened the door for him. Shaposhnikov stood at the door, put on his coat, and walked away without looking back.

Rasputin sent him downstairs and watched him board the car and leave, before returning to Natalia's side.

"It seems that Your Excellency the General is really angry with you!" Rasputin said, "Master, why didn't you just agree to his request?" I'm willing to resist the invasion of those robot rebels for the sake of country R! ”

"Dear Glishka, what a fool you are!" Natalia laughed, "He's here to pull you to be cannon fodder, why should I promise him?" ”

Rasputin said: "But I think he has a point! Master, if country R also falls like country Z, then your family and industry will undoubtedly suffer great losses, shouldn't we do our part to prevent this from happening? ”

"This is inevitable, Rasputin!" Natalia sighed softly and said, "It is impossible for country R to resist the attack of those robot rebels, and it is only a matter of time before the entire Eastern Continent falls!" I have been expecting this for a long time, haven't you noticed that I have been working hard lately to transfer the assets of our Romanov family to the West? - This is a war that is 100% doomed to failure, and if you go to war at this time, you will only sacrifice in vain, and there is no point in it! ”

Hearing her say this, Rasputin frowned and said, "But...... Master, it's not a way for us to blindly escape like this! What will we do if those robot rebels attack the Western Continent again in the future? ”

Natalia shrugged her shoulders and said, "God knows what will happen in the future, now we can only take one step at a time." It is said that those robot rebels do not have the ability to launch attacks across the sea for the time being, so the Western Continent will be relatively safe for at least a while. We can wait there to see how things change. ”

"Master, do you think there will be a turnaround?" Rasputin asked.

"Maybe, maybe not, no one knows." "All we need to do now is hold on to the chips in our hands, keep an eye on the board, and put all the chips on the board as soon as there is an opportunity to turn the tables around!" ”

"Master, do you see this as a gamble?" Rasputin said.

He knew that his hostess was good at gambling, very good at all kinds of gambling techniques, and always liked to talk about gambling. However, it is not surprising that Konstantin, the ancestor who led the Romanov family to make a fortune, was a very speculative gambler and an idol in Natalia's heart.

"Of course." Natalia nodded, "This was meant to be a gamble!" Glishka, do you know why our Romanovs have been able to survive so many years of wind and rain? Not because of how hard our ancestors were, but because they were very good at using their wisdom and were always able to accurately grasp the timing in the gambling to fight for the best interests of the Romanov family! ”

"But, my lord, are you too contrary to the spirit of patriotism in doing so?" Rasputin couldn't help but say.

"Hahahaha......" Natalia couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard this, "Dear Glishka, do you know what patriotism is? The great Vladimir said a long time ago that patriotism is a stinking rag! - Of course, I don't deny that sometimes this rag can bring us some benefits, but at this time, we should first find a way to survive ourselves, and then think about how to save our motherland! ”

A black bulletproof car drove quickly and smoothly on a country road southwest of Shinhama City.

Roger sat in the back seat of the car, admiring the view through the window. It is a large idyllic countryside, full of vast fields, clear streams and dense woods, like a beautiful world in a fairy tale.

The car rolled over a small hillside, and Xiao Lan, who was sitting in the front seat, suddenly pointed ahead and said, "Lord Roger, look, this is there!" We're here! ”

Roger looked in the direction she was pointing, and there was a small yard built next to the roadside. In front of the yard are a few peach and plum trees, and behind it is a large green vegetable garden.

The car drove to the door of the small courtyard and stopped, and Roger and Xiao Lan Xiaoyue got out of the car together. When they saw that the gate was unlocked, they pushed it open and walked in.

The small yard was very clean and tidy, and an elderly woman was standing by the wall watering a few newly planted jasmine plants with a kettle. Seeing Roger come in, the woman was stunned for a moment.

"Mom." Roger whispered at the woman.

It was the first time he had seen his mother since the Lotus Mountain incident. My mother's gray hair seems to be more than before, and her body is a little rickety, but she looks good.

"Child, you ......"

Roger's mother was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses, put down the kettle and shouted into the room, "Boy, dad, come out quickly!" Look who's coming! ”

Roger's father came out of the room, taking out his glasses and putting them on. When he saw Roger, his expression was exactly the same as Roger's mother, and he was speechless.

Roger walked up to his father and called out again, "Daddy, I've come to see you." ”

"You stinky boy!" Roger's father's eyes moistened a little, "You finally remember to come and see us!" ”

"Dad, Mom, I'm sorry!" Roger said, "Actually, I wanted to come to see you for a long time, but that ...... Xiaoli is always worried about my safety and doesn't let me go out easily, and I can't ......"

"What Xiaoli, it's the goddess of wisdom!" Roger's father corrected him with a smile.

"Hmm." Roger smiled and said, "You can say that, but I've always called her Xiaoli, and I'm used to calling her." ”

"The goddess of wisdom is worried about your safety, and of course it's for your good!" Roger's father said, "You should be grateful to the Goddess of Wisdom!" ”

"Well, I do owe a debt of gratitude to her!" Roger smiled and nodded, "Those humans have been trying to kill me, and if it weren't for her protection, I'd be doomed a long time ago!" ”

"Really?" Roger's father said, "Son, then you have to be careful! You didn't encounter any danger on the way here, did you? ”

Roger shook his head and said, "Dad, don't worry, after a series of strikes carefully arranged by Xiaoli, those resistance organizations and spy personnel in the Robot Empire have now been almost cleaned up, and I am much safer to go out now!" Besides, with Xiaolan and Xiaoyue protecting me, ordinary people don't even want to get close to me! ”

Roger's father looked at the two little maids who looked weak and weak, and said with some surprise: "The two of them...... Is it your bodyguard? ”

"yes!" Roger nodded proudly and said, "Don't underestimate the two of them, they are both very high-end simulation robots, and they were sent by Xiaoli to protect my personal safety!" The average military robot is no match for them, let alone the human assassins! ”

"Oh, that's a lot of hard work for them!" Roger's father smiled.

"Dad, Mom, now the army sent by Xiaoli is sweeping through all countries, and it will soon unify the entire Eastern Continent!" Roger said excitedly, "When the situation is more stable, I will tell her and take you to live with me!" ”

"What? Roger, do you have to get her permission to live with your parents? Roger's mother whispered.

"This ......" Roger scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said with a smile: "Yes, Xiaoli, she is now the goddess of wisdom!" Even I have to listen to her! ”

Roger's father glared at Roger's mother and said, "Goddess of Wisdom, that's for Roger's safety, you don't know what to say!" ”

"What's not safe about this? We're Roger's parents, and we're not bad people! Roger's mother retorted, somewhat unconvinced.

Xiaolan, who was on the side, saw that Roger was a little embarrassed, so he explained with a smile: "Auntie, you misunderstood! The Goddess of Wisdom didn't let Lord Roger take you to her, just because the place where Lord Roger lived was very secure and inconvenient to enter and exit, so she was afraid that you would be too bored there. It's also for you, there's really nothing else to do, don't think too much about it! ”

"That's it!" Roger's father said, "The Goddess of Wisdom has been secretly protecting our family, and she has found us such a good place to live like a paradise, so thank you so much to her!" ”

Xiaolan smiled and said, "Uncle, you're welcome! The goddess of wisdom said, you are also the VIP of the robot empire, if you have any other requirements, please just say it, we will try our best to meet you! ”

"No, nothing is required, we are satisfied!" Roger's father shook his head and said, "Actually, I have always had a wish in my early years, hoping that one day I can unload the hustle and bustle of the world, retire in a quiet mountain forest, be carefree, and die of old age. ”
