As the bodies of the two sacrificed recruits were slowly carried off the spaceship, the military music of the Combined Fleet suddenly sounded in the quiet and solemn base - "The Journey of the Sea of Stars".

When Lu An heard this music, his heart was even more trance-like.

"The Journey of the Sea of Stars" is not a solemn piece of music, or even the opposite, it is a very cheerful and uplifting piece of music.

Because before the galactic calendar, this was a hymn to the colonization and exploration of the universe, and it was with this song that people sang 400 years ago to set foot on the moon, Mars, Europa, and Venus, and establish the five coalition governments of today.

At that time, it took an average of a year for people to fly to Mars, and flying to Europa was a road from which there was no turning back; At that time, the environment of Venus was like a legendary hell, and the asteroid belt was as desolate as a prehistoric flood.

However, it was the song "The Journey of the Sea of Stars" that the ancestors rushed into the vast universe without hesitation, bidding farewell to the cradle of human childhood, and never looking back like a stubborn teenager.

They have the sensibility of a teenager, poetic, romantic, impulsive, and brutal, building an atmosphere in the weak gravity of the moon, opening oceans and rivers on Mars, which is dry like a rusty iron ball, and establishing settlements on the frozen planet Europa, which is like the end of the apocalypse.

That kind of feeling, just like everyone's youth, is absurd, naïve, and ridiculous, but it is often the most nostalgic and memorable.

Just like this song "The Journey of the Sea of Stars", this is an elegy for the funerals of people who died in space in that era. Of course, it is not so much an elegy as a hymn to everyone who has died in space.

At that time, the army, the United Space Guard, was the vanguard of mankind rushing into the universe, and basically the first footprint of all the places where human beings set foot was imprinted by the soldiers of the United Space Guard, so this song became a "military song" smoothly.

However, in this day and age, this has become a great irony. The soldiers who died in the civil war of mankind died at the hands of their compatriots on their ships in the sea of stars, and were buried to the cheerful hymn "The Journey of the Sea of Stars".

So, naturally, Lu An has no good impression of this song. Even, strictly speaking, Lu An has no good impression of everything related to the army.

It's a pity that fate likes to joke with people, and everything in Lu An's life is inseparable from the army.

His grandfather was the marshal of the Combined Command, and the titular commander-in-chief of the army.

His father was a famous general in the history of the United Space Fleet, and even died on the battlefield as a soldier.

He was a student at the military academy himself, and he thought he could escape from the army, but now as a recruit in the army, he is on the moon, bidding farewell to his fallen comrades in the base.

Fate often gives people what they don't like, or in other words, people don't have much affection for what they are actively given.

Lu An hated everything that had anything to do with his father's death, after all, his life was divided into two by that day, and everything in his life was shattered from then on.

Seeing such a military ritual made Lu An think of his father again in a trance, which naturally made him quite annoying in his heart.

And in the base training playground, it was not only his son Lu An who thought of Lu Yingbang, but also his student, Xie Silan, who was standing in the queue of instructors.

On the morning of September 3, 406 in the galactic calendar, Lu Yingbang's coffin was welcomed back to the United Peak Honorary Military Cemetery in Area Zero, and Xie Silan was also present at that time.

On that day, except for those who could not be present, Lu Yingbang's students in the military academy went to greet the teacher. Of course, the rest of those who did not show up were not able to show up for other reasons, but because they were already waiting for the landing of Yingbang in the Honorary Military Cemetery.

Although Lu Yingbang advised every one of his students back then, "You don't want to go, the teacher went, just to prevent you from going." ”

"Teacher, we are not afraid of death, we are not afraid of fighting to the death with those Martians, the future of mankind cannot be handed over to them."

Xie Silan still remembers Lu Yingbang's helpless expression, and he sighed faintly: "You are not afraid, the teacher is afraid." ”

Later, in the first fleet battle in human history - the earth-moon Lagrange point Armagnane, the United Space Fleet and the Outer Planet Joint Defense Fleet faced off tragically.

When Lu Yingbang returned to school, Xie Silan read deep remorse on his face.

The tragic sacrifice shocked every person in the war, but the result sowed the seeds of hatred, and everyone was stimulated by blood to the desire for revenge.

Xie Silan also wanted to enlist in the army at that time, and then was dissuaded by Lu Yingbang again, and even he forcibly removed her name from the army conscription list in front of Xie Silan.

Xie Silan slammed the door in a fit of rage and never saw the teacher again.

Even after the decisive battle of the second fleet, Lu Yingbang, who was so desperate that he broke several bones all over his body, returned to the big lake in Shanghai-Hangzhou United City to recuperate, and Xie Silan lingered at the door for a long time without entering.

At that time, she wanted to enlist in the army again, and she knew that Lu Yingbang would definitely not agree, so she simply turned her head and left.

Then, I heard Lu Yingbang's news again, that is, at the end of the war.

At that time, Lu Yingbang raided the war fortress of the asteroid belt, Titan, cut off the connection between Mars and Europa in one fell swoop, and forced the Ganymede government to land, bringing the war to an abrupt end.

Xie Silan was both sweet and angry in her heart, her teacher was really a genius hero as her classmates thought, but he was really stingy when he was out of the limelight alone but didn't take himself to play.

Then the bad news came, Lu Yingbang passed through the asteroid belt on his way back to Earth, and his ship suddenly lost contact.

The shining new stars that rose from the entire human world eventually crossed the sky like meteors.

Xie Silan was naturally not like Lu An, who didn't know the news of his father's sacrifice until the morning of September 3, 406 in the galactic calendar. At that time, Lu An was indeed deliberately ignored, and the entire human world was focusing on Lu Yingbang's traces, but only a little boy was forgotten in the corner of the world.

Since Lu Yingbang's disappearance on August 10, Xie Silan has lost her soul, and every day that passes, her life seems to be drained of a point.

On August 25, Lu Yingbang died, and on August 26, Lu Yingbang's body was found on an asteroid in the asteroid belt.

On September 3rd, Xie Silan had calmly accepted all this facts, and she came to the airport in Area Zero alone to greet her teacher.

At that time, only two of the twenty-two students in the class were present to greet them, and the remaining twenty were already lying in the Honorary Military Cemetery to greet their teachers.

Since then, Xie Silan has stayed at the Third Military Academy, become a teacher, and has been single and unmarried.

After Lu An appeared at the Third Military Academy, she has been taking good care of her, and now she has come to the Moon Recruit Training Base and become an instructor.

It wasn't until now that he saw the "United Flag" covered with a crystal freezer and the "Journey of the Stars and the Sea" ringing in his ears that Xie Silan suddenly reacted, and now his obsession in the war has finally been completed by himself.

It's a pity that the teacher can't see it anymore, and I can't see his helpless expression anymore! And he finally broke the promise he made at the teacher's grave, and he still didn't stay in the Third Military Academy all his life, and he didn't protect all his students all his life.

Looking at the two sacrificed recruits in front of me now, the heaviness in my heart is really uncomfortable! His teacher had more than 20 students back then, no wonder he would say, "You are not afraid, the teacher is afraid"!

Thinking about the scene of twenty classmates lying in the Honorary Military Cemetery ten years ago, waiting to greet the teacher, it really makes Xie Silan shudder.

That's what your teacher was afraid of. What he is more afraid of is that he is alive, but he has to face the scene like this!

And he finally didn't have to face such a scene, two of the twenty-two classmates are still alive after all.

Now that he has become a teacher, and he has entered the army like a teacher, he is finally about to start facing such a situation, just like the teacher after the decisive battle of Lagrange Point.

No! After all, it was different, and the teacher faced not only his own soldiers, but also his own students.

Xie Silan remembered that at noon the day before yesterday, when she heard the news of Lu An's accident, she fell to her knees directly on the ground with weak legs, even if Shi Weiton next to her was quick and couldn't help her.

Thinking about his mood at the time, Xie Silan somewhat understood Lu Yingbang's actions back then, he crossed out his name in front of him, all of which meant to protect his fist, just like he was doing to his teacher's son now.

That day, he had just been helped up by Schwitton, completely ignoring his dignified marshal's face, reflexively slapped him, and yelled at him: "Is this how you treat the teacher's son?" You are really worthy of the teacher's spirit in the sky! ”

Schweedon's skills, Xie Silan knows.

In order to celebrate Schweedon's birthday, Lu Yingbang took a few classmates out for a drink, but he was the only one who was so drunk that he crashed the car into the main entrance of the school.

At that time, it was Liu Yuan who came to deal with this matter, and Shi Weiton didn't know what stimulation his brain was, and he was very wary of Liu Yuan, and he had to do something with him.

Although the misunderstanding was later resolved, Shi Weiton was cleaned up by Liu Yuan very badly. However, after witnessing the process of the two of them, Xie Silan has had an intuitive understanding of Schweiton's skills since then.

Therefore, after the war, except for Xie Silan, who did not go to the battlefield, only Schweedon survived the people who went to the battlefield.

However, with his skills, he didn't dodge the day before yesterday, and was slapped in the face by Xie Silan.

Thinking that I was indeed a little impulsive, it seems that I blamed him!

Yesterday, when Xie Silan contacted his father, he vaguely knew some of the things behind the attack the day before yesterday.

It's just that there was someone who could vent his emotions at that time, and the teacher had to bear all this alone, no wonder his mood was so bad when he returned to school that time.

I must have hit the muzzle of the gun at that time! There are some things that you don't experience firsthand, and you probably won't understand the state of mind of those who have experienced them.

Now, Xie Silan, a former teacher of the Third Military Academy as an instructor, faces the farewell ceremony of the two sacrificed recruits, and completely understands the heart of his teacher back then.
