Chapter 118: Fortune and Misfortune

Frank Duran is the Marshal of the Second Martian Fleet and the Commander-in-Chief of the Mars Division of the Joint Command.

If he is a patient man, probably many Martians or people on Union Peak disagree; And if he is a person with a lot of free time, no one will agree.

As the only giant representing Mars on Union Peak, any Mars-related affairs cannot be avoided as the "patron saint of Mars" in the eyes of Martians, and his daily busyness can be imagined.

However, in the presence of Jacques Duran, if the old Marshal Duran was extremely patient and had a lot of time, I am afraid that no one would not agree.

Old Duran wasn't meant to be, but he had to.

As the saying goes, when extensive free growth has reaped desperate results, intensive cultivation has become very necessary.

And if intensive farming is unsatisfactory, there will be a pattern of wild growth. Of course, this is for another marshal.

For the elder Duran, intentionally or unintentionally letting his son grow up in a free way, made him almost sad and disappointed to the point of despair; So, when he came to his grandson, he naturally changed his body and began to take care of him, carrying him step by step and teaching him hand in hand.

This reputation of doting is even known to everyone on Union Peak, and Frank Duran is even directly called Old Duran, and Jacques Duran has become the little Duran in people's mouths. For this title, old Duran even gladly accepted it, even if he was called so to his face, he smiled right.

After patiently imparting his life experience to his grandson and polishing it bit by bit, looking at his grandson's thoughtful expression, old Duran suddenly felt a little relieved in his heart.

Thinking about the son of Europa, although he is alive, he is no different from death to himself, and then looking at the smart and clever grandson in front of him now, old Duran is naturally a little relieved and slightly proud.

Thinking of the commander-in-chief upstairs, the commander-in-chief Lu who is now making waves on the moon, his son who died in lonely space, and his grandson who ran away from home to break with him, old Duran couldn't be more relieved.

His son is still living on Europa anyway, and his grandson is even closer to him. It's like that old man Lu, ha, he has been stubborn all his life, but his son is gone and his grandson is gone.

In fact, this is the reason why old Duran is slightly proud in his heart.

Jacques Duran lowered his head and pondered for a long time before asking, "Grandpa, I seem to understand something. Is that why you said earlier why we want to stay out of this lunar strife? โ€

"Yes and no."

Old Duran put away the smugness in his heart, looked upstairs meaningfully, and said: "You don't know who the commander-in-chief upstairs is, but I know him very well, I have been ...... since more than forty years ago. Well, no, it's been fifty years now, I've known him since fifty years ago, and I know this person very well. So, on his battlefield, I will retreat head-on. โ€

"His battlefield?"

"Yes, the people who jumped out of the moon today are too greedy. They don't know what they're facing, no, maybe they do, but they're too smart, heh! Remember, Jacques, that as soon as a wise person becomes greedy, he must stay as far away from them as possible, for they are not only dangerous but often extraordinarily mad before they perish. โ€

"Grandpa, do you mean that Commander-in-Chief Lu is going to ...... on the moon"

Jacques Durand hesitated for a long time, not knowing how to say with certainty the purpose of the commander-in-chief.

Old Duran smiled slightly, and said for him: "Ah, he is going to kill!" He's going to destroy his enemies, but it's ridiculous that they're trying to get rid of it. This man, since I knew him, he was a bad star, he would bring blood and rain wherever he went, and now he is so old that he still refuses to rest. Hehe, I don't know if he regrets his decision now? โ€

Jacques Duran was even more puzzled, and even though his grandfather had said so much, he still didn't understand. Of course, in front of Old Duran, he never hid his doubts, so he asked directly.

Old Duran smiled and waved his hand, and said: "It's far away, it's far away, grandpa is also old, people like to remember the old days when they are old, hehe." In fact, the thing on the moon is very simple, that is, Lu Yong wants to avenge his son. Lu Yingbang died on the way back to Earth back then, and there are countless people involved behind it, but Lu Yong's method of revenge is also very simple, as long as the people involved in this matter are killed. โ€

Jacques Durรกn instantly understood, and he asked with some surprise, "Could it be that who are you going to kill this time?" It's just, such a big movement? โ€

"Big movement? Not big, not big. When he first became the commander-in-chief with his son's bones, there was a lot of movement at that time. Hehe, although I don't know who his target is now, but the person who can be worthy of this kind of scene, and even has to pull the Li family on the moon to bury this person, think about it, these old guys on the United Peak are worthy. โ€

As he spoke, Old Duran glanced at his grandson, who wanted to stop talking, and said with a smile: "What do you want to say?" Are you worried about me? Don't worry, the incident ten years ago has nothing to do with your grandfather and me, and there were many smart people standing in front of me at that time. Now that the commander-in-chief upstairs has given us the conditions, we can rest assured that we will be fiddling with the construction of the "Zodiac". I know very well what he is, if he really came for us, how could he have such a means of wanting to get away with it, just wait to face his thunderous wrath. โ€

Jacques Duran smiled embarrassedly and nodded slightly embarrassed, "Yes." By the way, grandpa, I forgot to mention that among the people who went to Mars this time, there is one person who is particularly noteworthy. โ€

"Oh? Which one? โ€

Jacques Duran stretched out his hand and pointed at the holographic projection, and said, "This person, I don't know how he went to Mars, I thought he would stay on Earth." โ€

Old Duran looked at it and said, "Oh, it's his son." โ€

"Grandpa, I heard that this Boss Xia has been very close to the people from the logistics headquarters recently."

"That's because at the beginning of next year, all major fleets will have a large number of military medical supplies purchased, and he is not only very close to the people in the logistics command, as long as it is someone who can help him make money, he will be very close. Just last week, he was sitting in your current position. โ€

Old Duran shook his head and continued: "This person is very strange. It started very suddenly, rose very quickly, and its origin is very ordinary, but his connections in the army are extremely wide. Jacques, for such a person, since he can't see through it, he must stay away, don't offend or get close, just look at it from a distance, and the blessings and misfortunes will be brought upon him. โ€

"I remember, Grandpa."

"Okay, you go home first, grandpa will go home early when he is done."

It was on this Union Peak, in the headquarters of the Joint Command, separated from the old Duran's office by a wall.

"Well, in that case, it's a pity. I can only hope that we will have the opportunity to cooperate happily again in the future. โ€

The holographic projection in front of Arthur Vick was empty, and there was nothing, and when he finished saying this, the holographic projection in front of him automatically turned off.

Arthur Victor's eyes immediately narrowed and he smiled silently.

"Hmph, what a bunch of cowardly undead. No wonder people will be driven to hide in the shadows, and there will be no one to see in the dark. โ€

And after thinking about it for a while, he clicked on the holographic projection of the brain and connected to another person.

"Old man, the undead has been here again, but unfortunately his man missed last time. This time he tried to make amends, but he pounced, as if he had already decided to retreat. โ€

"That's natural, I've already gotten the news that the new king of the Shadow Undead is furious within the organization, probably because of this incident. It seems that the king of that person has already spoken harshly, and it is estimated that this Mr. Undead will not dare to act rashly now. It's just that I was curious before, why did he set his sights on the grandson of the commander-in-chief? โ€

"Hehe, why bother with that? How can we guess the minds of the undead? Since he is willing to do this, we can't just get out of the way, let Old Man Lu suffer a dumb loss, and he can't talk about his suffering. โ€

"Didn't you try to inquire?"

The commander-in-chief of the Logistics Command, Arthur Victor, was seen as a shrewd and perceptive man who could easily get a lot of information from just a few words. Some people even joked that he was more suitable for the position of director of the military's intelligence bureau, the Space Information Maintenance Bureau, than the dim-witted and decrepit Martin Enda.

Now when the person on the other side said it, Arthur Victor smiled slightly, and he said reservedly: "I tried to knock on the side, but this person is more cunning than we thought." But if you think about it, if you weren't a smart person, how could you have such a bold idea as cooperating with us? โ€

"Then why are you so timid now?"

"Hehe, you don't know, often the more timid people are, the more they will do some wanton things. However, this man I came into contact with, slippery, cautious and greedy, really no different from the group of politicians in the Supreme Council. If this person is suitable, he is best suited to go to the coalition government. โ€

"Really?"

Arthur Victor waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't mention these flies." How have you prepared these two days? The commander-in-chief upstairs seemed to have lost his patience, and if he wanted to do it, he was just around the corner, and we had worked so hard to prepare for it for so long, so that we didn't fall short in the end. โ€

"Rest assured, it's all ready. Once Old Man Lu makes a move, we will fish in troubled waters, and since the Li family on the moon is in a catastrophe, it will basically not be able to escape from our palms. โ€

"Well, okay, I'll see someone later, let's do it first, and let me know if there is any situation in the next two days."

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on this side."

Closing the connection, Arthur Victor frowned.

The calm before the storm was a little too long, even uncomfortably quiet. If the person upstairs doesn't do it within three days, do you think about stopping it first?

As for the "old fellow" across the street just now, hehe-

If you work with smart and greedy people, you should always be ready to do so.
