Chapter XXII

Amsterdam.

Jiang Xia returned to the ship late at night, carrying his moon-chasing shuttle and a simple small bag, and under the leadership of a ship's trainee, he came to the dormitory assigned to him.

Along the way, Jiang Xia saw that everyone on the boat was in a hurry, with a straight face, and his expression was quite grim, as if something really big was wrong.

"This is your dormitory, your roommate is Luo Yuhao, and he has already come." The young intern opened the dormitory door for Jiang Xia and said.

I saw that the dormitory was a standard army double room, and the Earth Federation Army used blue as the military flag, so the blankets, quilt covers, and sheets were all blue, and they were printed with the double marks of the Earth Army and the Guardian Legion.

Luo Yuhao was lying on the porthole, looking out uneasily, and when he saw Jiang Xia, he jumped up.

"You're here! I didn't expect something big to happen on our first day in the army! It seems that the matter of the two of us drinking flower wine has to be postponed for a while. Luo Yuhao said loudly.

Drinking flower wine?

Puff~

The intern behind him couldn't hold back his laughter, he covered his mouth and said, "Knife, you guys talk first, if there is anything to find me in the service department." ”

Penknife?

Jiang Xia was slightly stunned, and asked Luo Yuhao puzzled: "What did the intern call me just now?" ”

Without waiting for Luo Yuhao to answer, a voice came from outside the door, "Jiang Xia, Jiang Xiaodao, this is the nickname given to you in the army, there is nothing strange about it, the army has a long, long history of giving nicknames to comrades-in-arms, but generally speaking, it is difficult for recruits to be remembered by others, so most of them will not have nicknames." ”

"But you are an exception, after all, this quasi-martial artist selection, the sensation you caused is too great, so you not only have nicknames, but also two."

"People who like you call you Jiang Xiaodao, the reason is that your little floating knife is used well, and when the captain Mu Linsen watched your game, he personally said that it was a sharp knife! So, they use this as your nickname. ”

"As for the people who don't like you, they call you Jiang Xia the Ripper, because after you killed the crystal beast, you dismembered it in blood, leaving a terrifying and cold-blooded impression on others, so they put the nickname of a very famous butcher in history on you."

Jiang Xia looked back and saw that he was a jack of all trades, this guy still had the same omniscient face, and he was walking in from the outside with his arms crossed, with a little pride on his face.

"Brother! You know a lot, I only know that the interns in the service department call Jiang Xia Jiang Xiaodao, but I don't know that Jiang Xia also has the nickname of Ripper? If you want me to say, the ripper is much more domineering than a knife, don't you say? Luo Yuhao, who had thick lines, muttered.

Jiang Xia frowned, "What kind of mess is this, my name is Jiang Xia, Jiang of Jiangnan, Xia of summer, the name is very elegant, okay?" ”

Puff~

Know-it-all and Luo Yuhao laughed at the same time, Luo Yuhao patted Jiang Xia's shoulder with bad intentions, "Your nickname is Ripper, don't mention anything elegant, it makes people laugh when you say it." ”

Just entered the army, and actually had such a vulgar nickname, Jiang Xia was also very helpless.

But now Jiang Xia is more concerned about the red alert, he closed the door and said: "Jack-of-all-trades, you know a lot, tell me why we issued a red alert this time?" The Moro Empire declared war on the Qingxue Republic, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with our Earth Federation? ”

"Who told you to give people nicknames? What a jack of all trades, it's hard to hear! The know-it-all said with a straight face.

Luo Yuhao touched his head, and said very melancholy: "You all have nicknames for feelings, but I don't have them, this is a big loss, no, I have to give myself a nickname quickly." ”

Jiang Xia and Know-it-all glanced at Luo Yuhao at the same time, this stupid big man, how could he give himself a nickname?

Know-it-all settled down, and said, "You don't know, this war between the Moro Empire and the Qingxue Republic is not only related to our Earth Federation, but the situation is very serious!" ”

"The relationship between the Qingxue Republic and us has always been good, this country adheres to the concept of commercial nation-building, although the country is not big, but it is very rich, according to the current statistics, the total number of expatriates of our Earth Federation in the Qingxue Republic exceeds 3.5 billion!"

"Three and a half diaspora!?" Luo Yuhao was stunned suddenly, clenched his fists and said, "Then once the war starts, won't our expatriates be in trouble?" The cannonballs don't have long eyes, so we have to get our compatriots back from the battlefield quickly! ”

The know-it-all nodded, "The Qingxue Republic borders our Earth Federation, so a large number of Federation citizens have lived there for many years, and now the Moro Empire has not even issued an ultimatum, and directly declared war on the Qingxue Republic, not only the Qingxue Republic is in big trouble, but our trouble is also big." ”

"In such a short period of time, the evacuation of 3.5 billion overseas Chinese is simply an impossible task!"

"Even if the military sends all the warships to the Qingxue Republic, it won't be able to bring back all of them at once! Now the headquarters is holding a meeting overnight, on the one hand, to exert diplomatic pressure on the Moro Empire to buy time to evacuate overseas Chinese, and on the other hand, to send all the warships close to the Qingxue Republic to quickly evacuate the overseas Chinese. ”

"The red alert was raised this time because the Amsterdam is only three days away from the border of the Qingxue Republic, and we are about to rescue our compatriots from being devastated by the war."

Scold~

Luo Yuhao's face turned pale, and he stood up and shouted: "Evacuate overseas Chinese, I am willing to go!" Whoever dares to touch our compatriots, I will fight with him! ”

Jiang Xia also felt that the situation was serious, but he still kept calm and asked Wanshidao: "How long do you think the Qingxue Republic can resist the Moro Empire?" Do we have time to withdraw all our compatriots? ”

The know-it-all looked worried, sighed deeply and said, "The Qingxue Republic is a small commercial country, they have a developed economy, but they don't have a strong army. ”

"The territory of the Moro Empire is seven times that of the Qingxue Republic, the population is twelve times that of the Qingxue Republic, and the number of the fleet has reached twenty times, with such a huge disparity in strength, I don't think the Qingxue Republic even has a chance."

"As for the fact that we are going to withdraw 3.5 billion expatriates from the Qingxue Republic within a few days, there is also little hope, unless there is a miracle, otherwise..."

Ay!

Luo Yuhao angrily slammed the table in front of him with his fist, gritted his teeth and said, "The expatriates are even more pitiful than the descendants of us immigrants!" At the beginning, our Earth Federation was weak and did not have enough foreign exchange to buy equipment and technology, so these expatriates went to those developed countries to work, worked as cattle and horses in sweatshops, and sent back the hard-earned money, so that our Earth Federation gradually had some foreign exchange reserves and gradually developed. ”

"Now that the war has broken out, we can't get them back, what's this called!"

Jiang Xia and Jack-of-all-trades did not speak, and they both had deep worries in their hearts.

In the galaxy, the common currency is Star Coins, and the Federation Dollar is used by other countries to buy technology and equipment, and people don't want it at all.

At the beginning, the earth was so weak that there were no goods to export for star coins, so the expatriates went to work as coolies and servants for the rich in other countries.

It is no exaggeration to say that the first foreign exchange reserve of the Earth Federation was exchanged for the lives of the expatriate!

Immigrants like Jiangxia have never returned to Earth, and even more so the expatriates, many of whom have not even returned to the territory of the Earth Federation! If you die, you will be buried in another country.

Luo Yuhao lowered his head and said with red eyes: "Our family used to be expatriates, at the beginning, my grandfather took my grandmother to work in the mine, and after so many generations, I finally learned the technology of mining polycrystalline mines, and then I returned to the Earth Federation to start a business." ”

"I heard my grandfather say that there are only a few people like my family who can bring back technology from other countries and eventually become wealthy, and most of the expatriates stay there forever, working for generations as second-class citizens."

The jack-of-all-trades whispered: "Yes, every time there is any disaster or war in the Earth Federation, the expatriates who are far away are always the most active, and they can't wait to go bankrupt and donate all their money." ”

"After so many years of hard work, the Earth Federation can finally rank nine hundred and eighty-two on the galaxy list, how majestic it sounds, a thousand powerful countries in the galaxy, but we have always owed too much to the expatriates, and we will never be able to compensate."

"Jack-of-all-trades!" Luo Yuhao asked excitedly and loudly: "Will the federal army go all out to evacuate overseas Chinese this time?" Will they do everything they can to protect them!? ”

The know-it-all was stunned suddenly, subconsciously looked left and right, and then lowered his voice and said: "According to the information I have received, the top management of the Earth Army not only plans to evacuate the overseas Chinese with all their strength this time, but is even ready to go to war with the Moro Empire!" It's confidential, and you must not tell anyone. ”

Luo Yuhao showed shock, and then the tears of excitement were about to fall!

"Is this true? The Moro Empire is ranked eight hundred and thirty-nine on the Galaxy List, one hundred and fifty places higher than us! We're probably no match for them! Luo Yuhao asked nervously.

The know-it-all frowned and whispered, "When this matter reached the ears of the god of war, he only said six words. ”

"Which six words?" Jiang Xia and Luo Yuhao asked at the same time.

"Whatever it takes!"

The know-it-all gritted his teeth and whispered, as if he had heard it all with his own ears.
