Chapter 209: A Long Year
"Headmaster, please ...... here."
Lieutenant General Hucklebane Oliver stretched out his hand and gestured.
The old man looked up at the "Aries Palace" in the sky again, bowed his head slightly and put on his soft helmet, he walked with a short staff and smiled at Lieutenant General Oliver at his side: "I came this time, it was originally a private matter, but I didn't expect old Duran to be enthusiastic......"
"Headmaster, you are polite, the marshal has already said that I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you very much in my heart......"
"Oh? Is it? Hehe, is old Duran as old as me? Can't let go of it now? He was such a neat person back then! ”
Although the old man was on a short cane, his steps were very steady, and he walked with great stride, which surprised Lieutenant General Oliver who followed him.
Isn't it always rumored that the principal of Europa has been in poor health, so he lives in seclusion and hardly cares about the affairs of the human world outside of Europa?
You must know that Europa's president is not only the supreme head of the Calmeto coalition government, but also one of the three deputy speakers of the Supreme Council of Mankind, and he is also a pivotal figure on Union Peak.
It's just that this deputy speaker from Europa has not stepped out of Europa for more than 20 years, and naturally he has never set foot on the joint peak of the zero region of the earth, so few people can remember who the last dragon is among the three vice presidents of the Supreme Council of mankind.
Even in the past few years, some of the things that have been important to Europa, he has never shown his face on Union Peak.
For example, in the case of Europa's elevation to Europa, if a deputy speaker appeared at the voting site of the Supreme Council, then the matter really may not be so easily vetoed, and each time it is based on those nonsense reasons that make Europa unbearable.
Therefore, in the impression of many people who are active on the United Peak, there are only two deputy speakers of the Supreme Council, and the third deputy speaker probably never exists.
However, if another name for this old man is mentioned, then everyone knows it, after all, the name of Europa's headmaster is like thunder even among ordinary people.
The title of principal, if it is said separately, is naturally only a position, and basically all schools have the position of principal. However, if it is used to refer to a certain person, all the principals in the human world are gathered together, and the other people may have to add other references to identify them.
For example, the principal of such and such a school, such as the principal of such and such a surname.
Only this old man, who is now walking in front of Lieutenant General Hucklebane Oliver, can call the headmaster without any embellishment, and even after a long time, many people do not remember the name of this headmaster, only "headmaster".
Even many of the old men on Union Peak called this old man "that headmaster", "that headmaster on Europa", "that old headmaster" and so on.
Lieutenant General Hucklebane Oliver, who walked beside the headmaster, could not have been so courteous.
As an ally of the Martians in the last war, no matter how humiliated the Martians felt at the end of the war, how much they hated the moon and Europa's easy submission, the end of defeat was already doomed, and all the past grievances were buried in the dust of history with the end of that war.
Smart people should be utilitarian, they should look at the present, and they should also see the future, and they must not just stare at the past. Indulging in the love and hate of the past is nothing more than the behavior of a coward, and he doesn't even dare to face reality, how can he be called brave?
Isn't there such a sentence, how dare a real warrior ......
Now the Martians have returned to the asteroid belt, of course, it is the result of Marshal Frank Duran's long-sleeved dancing, and it is the living space he won for the Martians on Union Peak, but if the Martians want to gain a firm foothold in the asteroid belt and follow up to restore the strategic advantage they had in the last war, then they cannot be complacent with the current situation.
The current Martians are weak and urgently need the support of the Moon and Europa, and if they can once again throw themselves into the arms of the Outer Planet Defense Alliance, then after the outbreak of the next war, everything the earthlings gained in the last war will only be temporary, just a temporary victory in the twenty-year truce.
As long as Mars, the Moon, and Europa stand together, everything will be back to square one, no different from the beginning of the last war.
Field Marshal Frank Duran didn't even need to say it explicitly, Lieutenant General Hucklebane Oliver would have understood that anyone who could see the predictable war in the future would know what the Martians were going to do at this time.
If Europa can be co-opted, the Martians naturally don't mind paying the price, and Lieutenant General Hucklebane Oliver doesn't even mind groveling a little longer, and his attitude can't be too flattering in front of this old man who can decide Europa's future with one word.
What's more, the earthlings have always been wary of any other power in the solar system, and it is simply foolish to veto the proposal to upgrade Europa to Europa three times.
Now, the people on Europa must have been completely disappointed with the earthlings, right? The promise that Lu Yingbang made to make them give up resistance when he was on Europa was now completely trampled under the feet of the villainous earthlings, and they didn't care about their original promise at all.
"That's great! In that case, isn't it already obvious where Europa is going? The principal ......"
Lieutenant General Oliver looked at the soft helmet in the corner of his eye, and his heart was slightly proud.
"Didn't you come to the door and want to talk to the marshal?"
"Oh, yes,......"
Lieutenant General Hucklebain Oliver suddenly heard the words of the old man in front of him, and his heart was immediately startled, and he subconsciously stopped.
At this time, the principal of Europa also happened to be standing with his cane, and said to Lieutenant General Oliver slightly sideways: "I came this time, I have some personal matters I want to meet the commander of the anti-smuggling team, I won't bother Lieutenant General Oliver much later, please help me find a spaceship to go to Ceres!" ”
What the? Going to Ceres to find the anti-smuggling team?
Lieutenant General Hucklebane Oliver was slightly stunned.
Seeing that Lieutenant General Oliver was slightly stunned, the old headmaster pressed his soft helmet, covered his eyes, and explained: "Old Duran's thoughts, I understand, but today is also troublesome for you." But when people are old, some things can wait, and some things can't wait, as the so-called revenge, revenge, grievances and complaints, old Duran dotes on his grandson so much, he must be able to understand my words. ”
"Yes, Headmaster."
Originally, the marshal had instructed him to follow the old man's request as much as possible and try not to disobey his will, but now that he has said so, the rest of the things need to be strategized by the marshal who is far away on the United Peak.
After looking up at the "Aries Palace" above his head, the old man pressed the soft helmet even lower, and he muttered in a low voice, but unfortunately his voice was too low for Lieutenant General Oliver, who was close to him, to hear clearly.
Then the old man waved his hand and said, "Please go and help the old man find a spaceship as soon as possible, everyone else has already settled with the anti-smuggling team, I will wait any longer......, alas, I really can't wait......"
Ten minutes later, a spaceship took off from the equatorial airport of Homo sapiens and headed straight for Ceres.
The uninvited guest came and went in a hurry, and such a furious appearance made Lieutenant General Hucklebane Oliver, who was already frowning, frown even more tightly.
"Smuggling squad? Hehe, forget it, whatever they do, it's better to die! ”
When someone comes, naturally someone walks, and it is bustling with people.
On Ceres at this time, Lu An and Su Ruyu were ready and waiting to leave Ceres.
Although he had only been on this asteroid for a little more than a day, Lu An felt as if he had spent a very long time, as if it was as long as a year.
However, Lu An thought to himself, this is probably not because of how colorful his experience is really on this day in Ceres, but because he has been on the desolate and remote asteroid 265 for a long time, and there is always a feeling of living like a year, just because there is too much boring time on that asteroid, and life is just a blank, so he is not very impressed.
Now that I have come to Ceres, I really have a one-day experience, and in a trance, I feel as if I have really spent a year. At the very least, I have seen more people in one day today than I have seen in the past three or four months combined.
And now, this long "year" on Ceres is finally coming to an end.
"By the way, Doctor Su, what are these heavy things of yours?"
Coming out of the bald head, Su Ruyu took Lu An to get things, and now these heavy things are being carried by Lu An in his hands, and Lu An, who didn't care about it at first, is now changing hands.
"Do you want to know?" Su Ruyu glanced at Lu An, and then said lazily: "Just open it and taste it yourself." ”
"Taste?"
Lu An pouted secretly and didn't ask anything more.
When he said goodbye to the boy boss of the boy league in "Sherlock Market", he was still worried about whether the member of the boy league would suddenly rise up and detain himself? However, after looking at the young boss's weak body, Lu An felt that even if his sister Anna came, he could easily escape from him, so he was relieved.
Fortunately, the young boss may not have found out about Lu An, although he still has obvious vigilance and rejection of Lu An, but under Su Ruyu's urging, he still honestly prepared the medicine in advance according to Su Ruyu's instructions, and then said goodbye to the two and sent them out of the "Sherlock Market" without any accidents.
Of course, Lu An didn't know that Xiao Barr was clear about Su Ruyu's identity, and he was naturally clear about where Su Ruyu's "new chief" was going, so he was not in a hurry, even if he really found out something, he would naturally have many ways to quietly arrest Lu An without having to do it in front of Su Ruyu.
"Hey, the spaceship is coming!"
Su Ruyu, who was bored, pointed to the distance and said in surprise.
After Lu An raised his eyes and looked at it, he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"Whew! It's finally time to get out of this hellish place! ”
