Chapter 40: Turning Point and Change
Earth Zero, east of United Peak, Joint Command Headquarters.
"Commander-in-Chief."
"Albert, are you here? Let's go to the little conference room first, and I'll go over after Martin and I'm done. ”
Today is the commander-in-chief Lu Yong's combat readiness duty again, and when Commander Schweiton of the military police headquarters rushed over from the moon, it was the early morning of Area Zero, and he caught up with the handover of the two marshals.
Schwitton nodded, and went to sit and wait in the small conference room, which was so simple that there were only stools.
Fifteen minutes later, Lu Yong pushed the door in, followed by another marshal Martin Enda who had just completed the handover with him, this marshal was the old man who sat on Lu Yong's left side during the last meeting, and in fact he was indeed Lu Yong's right and left hand.
As one of the ten marshals, he and the commander of the Gendarmerie Command, Albert Schwitton, are supporters of Lu Yong, and the three are currently the most powerful forces in the Joint Command.
Martin Enda is the director of the Space Information Maintenance Bureau, the reserve marshal of the Third Fleet, and the second giant of the Third Fleet; And Albert Schwitton was the commander of the gendarmerie command, the full marshal of the First Fleet, and the whole moon was shrouded in his authority; As the commander-in-chief, Lu Yong is the only marshal of the Fifth Fleet and the master of all the armed forces on the earth.
Since the last war, the main task of the Combined Space Fleet has been to deter the major coalition government branches, and its five main fleets are in the hands of the marshals.
The First Fleet for the Moon, the Second Fleet for Mars, the Third Fleet for Europa, the Fourth Fleet for Venus, and the Fifth Fleet as the general strategic reserve for the defense of the Earth.
For example, Mars, which is a strategic target, is the second fleet responsible for Mars' combat readiness is the most powerful main fleet in the space joint fleet, and its combat power is almost half of the combat power of the space combined fleet.
In fact, the Marshal of the Second Fleet, Frank Duran, is also the largest "opposition" of the Joint Command.
In addition to the marshals who were actually in charge of each fleet, there were also marshals in charge of other affairs in the army who served as reserve marshals to prevent emergencies, such as mutiny, assassination, and death from illness.
For example, Marshal Martin Nda, who is in charge of strategic intelligence in the military, is the reserve field marshal of the Third Fleet.
Of course, as the authority of the entire Joint Command, the commander-in-chief is the sole marshal in the control of the Fifth Fleet, which was deliberately made after the war in order to ensure the balance of power in the military.
Now, in the small conference room of the Joint Command Combat Readiness Command Room, the three marshals who have gathered together are the most powerful will groups in the entire Joint Command Headquarters.
"Albert, is there any special news today?"
"The leader of the undead has appeared, made contact with our One-Eyed squad, and I have ordered One-Eyed to be withdrawn to the moon."
"Well, I got the report. Since they have already jumped out, it is useless to investigate further, and there is no rush in this matter. ”
"It's just that, Commander-in-Chief, this time the King of the Shadow Undead seems to be a little different."
"How is it different?"
"The previous king's code name was BlackJoker, but when I got the news, the successor's king's code name this time turned out to be RedJoker, which is ......"
"Really?" Lu Yong frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Anyway, that code name is used by them internally, and the code name is different, at most, the authority is different." For us, the harm of this group of undead is still the same. Don't worry too much about it, just keep an eye on it. ”
"Yes."
"Okay, let's talk about the main thing this time. Martin, how's it going? ”
The kind-looking old man spoke: "Commander-in-chief, this is the plan of the Martian gang, and Albert must have already obtained this plan. ”
"Hmm." Schweedon nodded and said, "This time, the Lin family will definitely re-cultivate the heir." ”
"Lin Sanzhen, that old man may really make Mars tremble." Martin Enda replied with a smile, then took out another paper document and handed it to Lu Yong.
"Commander-in-chief, this is the plan of the group of people in the third region of Mars, I took a look, if they really dare to do this, Mars will not be calm for a while."
Lu Yong took it and swept it, then frowned and said, "It's not enough, just rely on them, hum-"
"Commander-in-Chief, this is the message received by Mars Zone 1." Martin handed over another piece of paper and said, "We just need to push a handful of Jeslot's men, and that's pretty much it." ”
Lu Yong took it and read it, handed both pieces of paper to Shi Weiton, and then closed his eyes and thought.
After reading it, Shi Weiton raised his eyebrows, and a trace of surprise appeared on his cold face, and said: "My people have been inquiring about this news. Unexpectedly, old Martin, you started quickly. ”
"My subordinates rely on this to eat. Otherwise, what use do you want of them? Martin smiled.
"Commander-in-Chief, are we going to do it?" Schwitton asked.
Lu Yong slowly opened his eyes and said, "Martin, let your people touch Krugman, as you said, push him." ”
"Okay."

In the early morning, the morning sun shines on the surface of the Great Lake, and the bright red sun brings infinite light, but it is not hot.
At this time, it was the end of summer and early autumn, although it was still hot at noon, but the heat had faded in the early morning and night, occupied by the cool autumn wind, standing on the balcony and breathing fresh air, so that Lu An, who had slept all night, was in high spirits.
Yesterday, in just one day, he experienced many chaotic and complicated things.
Running into a head-on encounter with "One-Eyed", two sudden strange conversations with Lin Yongping, and cautious contact with members of the Shadow Heart's organization all kept Lu An highly nervous.
If it was in the past, Lu Anxin would always have more important things in his heart, and no amount of tension, anxiety, and worry would have been able to overcome the mountain in his heart.
However, now that the shadow of Anna's death has dissipated, the tension, anxiety, and worry in his heart seem to have lost their barriers, and they have begun to flow non-stop, making him a little overwhelmed. As he said to Lin Yongping last night, he had a faint confusion.
In order to deal with this situation, which he had never encountered before, he even began to change some of the rules that had previously seemed insurmountable.
For example, he revealed his identity to Lin Yongping yesterday, in fact, maybe it was because Anna's illness was about to end, and he suddenly became less taboo about the relationship between the old man and himself, and no longer hated being known by others, although he still hated the old man. Perhaps, after such a long period of rejection, the already vague impression has faded to the point that he is a little indifferent. The reason for hatred gradually dissolved, and the object of hatred began to slowly disappear.
Otherwise, in the past four years, Lu An has had countless opportunities to say this, but he didn't say it, but he said it yesterday.
For another example, in his previous opinion, it was a secret about his brother that he could never share with others, and everything with that map was such a secret. And since he had his father's and brother's birthday wishes, he didn't mind that much anymore. Therefore, he dared to plunge into the water in front of Lin Yongping, Xia Yiming, and Qian Qingqing.
Otherwise, no matter how much he doted on his sister in the past, he would never catch fish in front of her. Although Anna knew about this, Lu An didn't want her to be unhappy in her heart and didn't want her to worry about herself, so she always avoided this matter in front of Anna. However, the day before yesterday, in front of Anna, he did it so naturally.
Is it so easy to change people?
Lu An also asked himself this rhetorically last night, but as always, there was no answer. Maybe, maybe it's that simple, maybe it's not so simple.
However, compared to his own changes, Lu An felt that his roommate was even more strange.
Is it because of my previous self, I only had my sister Anna in my eyes, and only Anna's illness and the money related to it, so I couldn't notice it? Lu An even began to wonder if his previous self was really so dull.
"Good morning."
Behind him was Lin Yongping's greeting.
"Good morning."
"You're in good spirits."
"I had a good night's sleep yesterday."
"Oh." Lin Yongping said, suddenly turned his head and asked, "That woman was present yesterday, and I never had a chance to ask, and then I forgot about it." Now I suddenly want to ask you. ”
"What?"
"How can you be so skilled? That fish, so long......" Lin Yongping gestured to yesterday's poor illegal specialty.
Lu An raised his eyebrows and said, "There is a word called practice makes perfect." ”
"I know what you're trying to say, don't be surprised, some things in the world are just that. The fish you ate the day before yesterday was really caught by me. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
"Actually, I heard you tell the fat man yesterday that it is stable and reliable, and I guessed this point every month."
"You hid it for so long, why did you let us know yesterday? I was also bumped into by that woman. ”
"It's nothing, if Anna's illness is cured, I'm going to wash my hands. The one you did the day before yesterday was actually supposed to be the last time I prepared it. But since the fat man said it was so pitiful, I had to be merciful and make an exception for him, otherwise if he kept being unlucky, I would really not be able to go. ”
"If he really wanted to, how could that be?" Lin Yongping smiled slightly.
"But after all, he is my friend, although he doesn't know, I can't help it."
"Really?"
"yes."
Lin Yongping nodded.

Mars Kunlun Seaside, Zone 7, Kunwu Garden.
Although the Kunlun Sea outside is still frozen and snowy, the Kunwu Garden is still full of spring.
"Li Feng, things are people, I really realized this word today. I used to think that the old man and I had already experienced everything in this world, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. ”
The old man leaned on the trunk of the Xuan Pavilion by the water, watching the fish and dragon swimming leisurely in the pool.
"Look at it, these fish saw Yongxiu yesterday, but Yongxiu won't see them again today. Did he feed the fish yesterday? Hah, but it's good that these idiots are ignorant and unconscious, and they don't have a heart or lungs, at least they won't be as uncomfortable as the old man. ”
The old man slapped his head and scolded: "What kind of bullshit fish dragon, it can't do without water, what kind of dragon is it." ”
Li Feng stood aside and didn't say a word, he knew that although the old man called his name, perhaps, he was talking to Lin Dashao yesterday.
After the old man finished scolding, he rubbed a purple sand teapot as crystal clear as jade in his hand.
"Li Feng, you see, this is still what Yongxiu worked hard to find before, saying that he will accompany me to old age, so that he can leave a thought for him in the future, and seeing the pot is like seeing me."
"You see, it's still Yongxiu, this kid understands. Man, who can not die? That's why Yongxiu dared to say that to me. Understand the child, more than a thousand years, the pot is still there, but people die and don't know how many stubbles, I still said that things are not people. ”
As the old man spoke, suddenly the old tears flowed, but his tone did not change at all.
"Yongxiu is gone, but the pot is still there, so I was left with a thought, and seeing the pot was like seeing this child. Ha ha. ”
As he spoke, the old man threw the pot to the ground, and the purple clay pot that had survived for thousands of years was suddenly shattered.
"Good, good, good. Yongxiu, go down and wait for grandpa, grandpa will go down in a few days. ”
After speaking, the old man slapped his head again, stood up suddenly, and shouted at Li Feng: "Since these people don't want to live a peaceful life, I will do what they want." Go and go, find me all those losers, and I, Lin Sanzhen, will let them see how this place of Mars is shaken. ”
On August 30, 416 in the galaxy calendar, Lin Yongxiu was attacked and died in the vast space outside Mars.
