"Okay, be quiet, listen to the commander-in-chief."

The old man on Lu Yong's left coughed lightly, interrupting everyone's noisy noise.

Lu Yong kept staring at everyone's reactions, and only after seeing his old friend speak, did he speak: "Don't doubt it, I'm sure it really appeared again this time." ”

Lu Yong's tone was affirmative, an unquestionable tone.

Albert Schweyton, who had been silent, had a hideous face at this time, pursed his lips and did not speak.

"TheGhostofShadow", that's what the old men call the group.

There are no records, no archives, no outsiders know where their organization is, no outsiders know their members, and no one has even seen any trace of them.

However, in the last war, an incident broke out that still makes the military gnash their teeth and remember it vividly.

======

======

The first space fleet Armageddon in human history, known as the Earth-Moon Lagrange Armagne, broke out in the year 402 of the galactic calendar, with a total fleet of more than 1,000 ships fighting fiercely for four days in an area of thousands of kilometers, resulting in the defeat of both the United Space Fleet and the Outer Planet Joint Defense Fleet.

However, in that battle, the Combined Space Fleet had 22 "Odin" main god-class warships and as many as 600 support ships of various types. More importantly, at that time, the Earth and Mars were in a close neighborhood of tens of millions of kilometers, and the United Space Fleet was preparing to go straight to Mars and annihilate the main Martian fleet of the "rebellious" Mars on Mars in one fell swoop.

However, the operation leaked.

Perhaps it was an unprecedented decisive battle of the fleet in the history of mankind, and the army was also inexperienced, and the plan of action was completely leaked to the enemy.

The surprise attack caused the powerful United Space Fleet to suffer a setback before it could make a successful move.

The investigation by the Gendarmerie Command was inconclusive for a long time, so the three giants of the Combined Command at that time secretly consulted with Jack Blakestein, the supreme governor of the coalition government, and Clark Nada, the speaker of the Supreme Assembly, to formulate the "Venus flytrap" plan.

In the second space fleet Armageddon, although the combined space fleet suffered heavy losses, it also repelled the attempt of the outer planet joint defense fleet to complete the battle.

And the "Venus flytrap" program succeeded.

Even if they were mentally prepared early, the result still surprised the group of five.

Fisher Lee, the commander of the military police command, who was about to be awarded the title of marshal, became the prey of the "flytrap", and as the military police headquarters, which was regarded as the last line of defense in the army, the strongest fortress in the army, and the last barrier of mankind, it became the first place to fall.

However, at a juncture when the war was facing a major turning point, the question of how to deal with the top head of the gendarmerie command became a thorny one.

It was at this time that Albert Schwitton came into the sight of the group of five.

As Fisher Lee's most trusted student, subordinate, and friend, he was secretly appointed acting commander-in-chief of the Gendarmerie Command, presided over the secret arrest and secret execution of Fisher Lee, presided over the "Li Dai Taozhuang" plan, and presided over the secret purge of the Gendarmerie Command, until the end of the war, and the Gendarmerie Command never made any mistakes.

Moreover, it was precisely because of the strategic fraud of the "Li Dai Taozhuang" plan that the "space assassination plan" was successfully implemented, Lu Yingbang led the 2nd Independent Special Fleet of the United Space Fleet to raid the fortress in the asteroid belt between Mars and Europa-Titan, and then the divine soldiers descended on Europa.

This is the end of the war.

It was only during the secret examination of Fisher Lee that the words "organization" and "king" began to be known to the group of five, a mysterious organization that was like an undead ghost hidden behind the shadows, without a trace, but everywhere, calling for wind and rain, omnipotent.

All traces of Fisher Lee were erased by the Gendarmerie Command, but the name of the shadow-dead organization known as "TheGhost of Shadow" was etched into the hearts of all involved.

Even today, only the three presidents of the coalition government, the chairmen and deputy speakers of the Supreme Council, the ten marshals of the Joint Command, and the chief of the Coordination Council know the true face of Fisher Lee and the so-called organization of the dead.

"Is he demonstrating to us this time?"

A marshal who had been sleeping before opened his eyes, and there was a faint voice of Jin Ge in his words.

"The last time he approached us, he didn't have that attitude, did he?" The old man on Lu Yong's left asked with a frown.

"Their previous king has retired, and this time it's the new one."

Lu Yong said quietly.

"He's declaring war? Oh, it's really a lot of guts. ”

"We can't rule out this possibility, we used to tolerate compromise, but we couldn't figure out the reality of the other party. If they dare to come again this time, we will not retreat. ”

So said one of the marshals.

This sentence was loud, and all the marshals in the conference room nodded in agreement.

Lu Yong swept around lightly, and finally concluded: "There will always be another deal in the future, today I just told you." Out of this conference room, everyone knows the discipline, the other party is everywhere, you are each careful. ”

The crowd nodded or agreed, and then they stood up, set their stools by the wall, and dispersed.

The white fish in the big lake is really delicious, beyond Lin Yongping's imagination.

The Kunlun Sea on Mars is no less magnificent than the Indian Ocean on the earth, and various natural resources in it are abundant.

After hundreds of years of cultivation, ancient novelties are mixed in it. Some of the novelties and delicacies are no less than those of the ancient native species on earth.

And because it is not restricted by the Convention on the Comprehensive Protection of the Earth's Water Bodies, there is only what Lin Yongping can't think of in the Kunlun Sea, and there is nothing that Lin Yongping can't eat.

However, it is worthy of the famous delicacy of Shanghai and Hangzhou since ancient times, Lin Yongping's very bad mood since noon was greatly relieved after being soothed by the food.

Even Lin Yongping, who has always been low-key and never ostentatious in Shanghai-Hangzhou City, hesitated after the meal and agreed to the proposal to return to school in a private spaceship.

Now that the campus is empty, no one will see it, and there will be no worries about showing off their own high-profile show-offs.

Lin Yongping was in a soothing mood, but suddenly had the idea of slowly tasting wine on the spaceship and watching the night view of Shanghai and Hangzhou at the same time.

When the earth was dark last night, Lin Yongping suddenly realized that within four years, when he was about to say goodbye, he had never overlooked the famous night view of this famous city from a high altitude.

A city in which he has lived for four years, a place where he has shared the memories of his life, was so strange at that moment, Lin Yongping remembered this morning, and his heart was slightly melancholy.

So, tonight, Lin Yongping suddenly wanted to take a look and see what the city looked like.

======

======

The night view is naturally beautiful.

Of all the man-made landscapes, the night view is the most common, but the night view is also extremely beautiful.

Light against darkness, this is any grand building, any grand project can not be as great as the greatness, against nature, obey nature, coexist with nature, human beings in the darkness to raise the first fire, with the first light to break the monopoly of nature, is the greatest time for human beings.

Such greatness is in this night scene, passed down from generation to generation, hidden in every ordinary day and night, hidden in front of everyone's eyes and behind everyone, spanning thousands of years, thousands of years, millions of years, and flowing through one place after another between heaven and earth.

Curling like smoke, endless like wisps.

Sometimes, Lin Yongping was also confused when he was busy.

He was born noble, and he was already standing at the top, and he might stand even higher in the future, but every time he looked up at the starry sky and looked down at the earth, he clearly only saw a small and weak person between heaven and earth, a candle-like fire in the wind.

Why do people live?

Struggle between heaven and earth, and it is inevitable that one day it will cease to exist.

It was as if the first man who raised the fire, who was the first to illuminate the whole world with light, was so great, so great that it was almost a shudder, and though he may be savage and primitive, rough and stupid, he was indeed too great to be greater.

However, no one knew who he was.

There are no names, no deeds circulating.

No one knows where he lives, when he lives, how he feels, what he thinks, what he likes, what he likes. Even, almost no one realizes that he once existed.

As great as he was, it was as if he never existed.

Lin Yongping's words are buried deep in his heart, but they appear from time to time, but he has never mentioned them to anyone.

Because in the Lin family, Lin Sanzhen's teaching is that people must learn to accept their fate, and they don't need to know what they shouldn't know, and they will naturally know if they should know; If you want to know even if you die, then ask God yourself.

The scenery is intoxicating, the wine is intoxicating, and the night is hazy, so subtle, but beautiful.

However, under the darkness of the night, people have to have a home, and although wandering is free, it cannot make people feel at ease.

As a student of the military academy, Lin Yongping's home at night is naturally his dormitory.

The living room was still dark, but Lu An's door was open, and he was not in the bedroom.

Lin Yongping suddenly rose, and he was afraid of disturbing Lu An, so he didn't have a direct communication connection, but just sent a message to the past.

After a long while, Lu An replied: "I was pulled by Anna to play poker." ”

Lin Yongping smiled slightly, knowing that Lu An was coaxing his pestering sister to play again.

Lu An was indeed coaxing Anna to play.

The legend of playing cards originated from the divination game of the ancients, who were superstitious and ignorant. However, with the development of mathematics, it gradually evolved into a highly interesting and entertaining game.

Four suits, thirteen numbers, fifty-two cards, or two kings, for a total of fifty-four.

A person with excellent memory or excellent mathematics can generally easily become a master of this kind of game, and it is very coincidental that Lu An has no shortage of both.

As a person who graduated early since he was a child, Lu An's memory is naturally very outstanding.

Like his peers, he went to school at the age of six, graduated from elementary school in four years, graduated in four years after eight years of secondary school, and even graduated in four years after six years of college.

Lin Yongping even felt that if he didn't have to worry about the financial burden and continued his studies, he might have obtained a doctorate before the age of 26.

As a son of a wealthy family who basically lacks nothing, Lin Yongping is very envious of Lu An.

During the four years of getting along, Lin Yongping has never seen Lu An study any courses seriously, but his academic performance has never fallen because he is running around to make money, and all kinds of scholarships at the Third Military Academy are occupied by Lu An every year.

Lin Yongping once asked curiously, how did Lu An do it.

Lu An replied indifferently, just like that, it must be done, it will be done.

Lin Yongping also jokingly compared with Lu An, an article published on Mars that has not yet been published, about 2,000 words, Lin Yongping basically took more than an hour to memorize it, while Lu An only took less than half an hour.

Lin Yongping needed to repeat it eight or nine times, while Lu An only needed three or four times.

Such a talent is really envied by Lin Yongping.

What makes Lin Yongping even more envious is Lu An's strong mathematical talent.
