Chapter 197: the Kid
The initial preparation for war was set at three years, and it was not too much to call it god-speed for this almost boundless empire, which was almost a matter of an eye given the size of the empire. But for Ringer, this has been a long time, and the two are different in size, and naturally consider different angles.
Careful calculation of the time Ringer left is actually not long, at best less than a year. When he returned to Base 24, even many people were very surprised, including the current base general Rudolph.
In the general opinion, as long as it is summoned by the headquarters, it seems that it will not come back so soon. The fact that the original boss came back so soon was actually a very surprising thing for them, and Ringer did not come back to seize power.
Because he has entered the level of middle and high-level commanders, Ringer's way of thinking about the problem is a little more advanced, although in fact it is not so advanced, since the leader of the empire has decided to turn to the extragalactic galaxy in terms of strategic direction, it is only a matter of time before the overall relocation is made. In other words, within three years, all surveillance bases around the Human Confederation will be abandoned.
Of course, Ringer didn't want to see this consequence, he was ready to dedicate his life to the empire under semi-forced circumstances, and there was no reason to put his own woman into it, first of all, Ringer used high-level authority to delete all the records of Xuan Zixun in the base. Normally, only the superior commander has this authority, and he has just been promoted, otherwise there is no way to do it.
The idea of killing people and exterminating the mouth has been circling in his mind for a long time, but Ringer still hasn't really done it, who has air traffic control at the beginning of a full-scale war, and once the Gestapo of these bases enters the real battlefield, it is still unknown how many will survive.
"The latest movement of the empire is that it will shrink completely, and the surveillance bases around the Confederacy are no longer of much value, and they should all be revoked this time, so you should be ready first. Maybe the next time I am summoned, we'll all have to leave here. If the Gestapo lurking in the Confederacy has an emotional problem, deal with it with a flexible attitude, and believe that our subordinates will will be strong enough not to show up with people who are nostalgic here. Ringer said in a nutshell that some of the headquarters were moving to prevent problems when the actual evacuation occurred.
Rudolph nodded, looked at the iceberg not far away, and suddenly asked, "What if someone like Schunard really appears?" ”
"All of them will be killed, as long as we don't reveal our identities, we won't be involved in our families. It is enough to leave those women with enough wealth to be rich for a lifetime. Under the imperial strategy, our personal feelings are not taken into account. Ringer's unchanging narrative is absolutely ruthless in this matter, and the curve to save the country depends on what to face, and the imperial orders are what these Gestapo in the remote mountains can fight against.
"There is also the fact that the current technology of the Confederacy, especially the military technology, is progressing very fast, and it may be that a big explosion of science and technology is just around the corner, just like our ancestors came down from a tree and began to walk upright, and the consequences are incalculable." Rudolph changed the subject and began to talk about the current state of the Confederacy.
Ringer seems to have heard of this somewhere, this is almost Serov's evaluation of the empire in another situation, in the face of a civilization that has a trend of technological explosion, the best way is of course to destroy it on the spot. However, both sides are human beings, and technology is not something that one or two technological explosions can catch up.
"If you want to regress or even destroy the technology of a civilization, the empire is not impossible, but you must form an expeditionary force, and now the entire empire is preparing for a big war, and there is no air to contain the Confederacy. Besides, it is possible that we and the Confederacy will never meet again. Ringer looked at Rudolph and emphasized, "Part of the reason I came back was to monitor the evacuation, after all, no one wants to have problems at this time, the Confederacy didn't know we existed, so it's okay, just because we never existed." ”
Although he had only been away for less than a year, when he returned here, Ringer found that his mentality had changed, after all, he had seen real war with his own eyes, and he felt the insignificance of personal power in that kind of war.
After a year, there have been some changes in Jialanxing, a brand new group of companies has set up this place as its headquarters, and now Ringer is sitting on the edge of the square outside the group headquarters, watching all this with strange eyes.
Until the evening, a familiar slender figure appeared from the gate, surrounded by swaddling clothes and ready to get in the car and leave under the escort of everyone, "Zixuan, thank you for your hard work!" After hesitating for a long time, Ringer held back such a sentence.
The distance between the two was not at all to the extent that they could talk, but this sentence seemed to explode in the ears of Lu Zixun, and the arms that hugged the swaddling clothes stiffened, and then looked left and right, she knew that for Ringer, this kind of conversation was not a problem, because the movement was too large, and even made the baby in the swaddling clothes feel uncomfortable, and he cried.
This made the woman even more flustered, coaxing the child, while looking for the man she missed in her heart. Finally, they looked at each other, both of them smiled, and they got closer and closer in the eye and finally hugged each other.
From the beginning, the two had no feelings, but now they even have children, and the process seems to be very natural, and there is no life-and-death parting of any blood, and sometimes Ringer feels very surprised.
Back to the Lin family manor, after Lu Zixun put his son to sleep, the rest of the time belonged to the two of them, and the two looked at each other for a long time and were silent, as if they didn't know where to start communicating.
"Why did you come back all of a sudden, I thought you were going to be going to be going to be for a long time." In the end, it was Kaoru who spoke first, because she had no doubt that Ringer would be able to sit there until dawn as she continued.
"It's going to take a long time, but I can come back in the near future." Speaking of this, Ringer paused slightly, as if he was thinking about something, and finally said frankly, "I have removed your records from the base database, and the genes in the gene pool have also been disposed of, and I will not be a member of the SS in the future." I hope you can live well, and as for me, if I don't show up for more than ten years, you can think about your life as if I never existed. ”
"I knew there would be such a day!" Lu Zixun smiled lightly and seemed to be prepared, and said with a somewhat flamboyant smile, "Can you not be so self-assertive and think that you are great at arranging my life?" Do you think that's good for me, isn't it selfish? ”
"It's very selfish, who made me rank higher than yours, and it's still a man, and the most important thing is that I have kicked you out of the SS, and the matter is already a foregone conclusion." Ringer shrugged and didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, he was not as easy to deal with as he used to be, and he was bypassed by a woman in two sentences, Serov's crash manual for cadres was not read in vain, "Isn't it?" What the? ”
