The "chain of crystal walls" was broken, the front line of Xipang beachhead was occupied, and the Eagle people successfully landed 6 Xipang mainland, at first the Xipang military was planning to conceal the news, but with the liberation of the two planets of Kalai and Enberg, this news can no longer be hidden, from the front of all kinds of 100,000 urgent information, constantly impacting the Sanssouci Palace and the upper world that are in charge of deciding the fate of Xipang, the Eagle people really came, they attacked the eastern star field, quickly established a stronghold based on the eastern star field, and then pulled the domestic troops over continuously. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Tian Lai Novel.2

An unprecedented panic permeated the Sipang Empire. It seems that the entire empire has entered a gray period.

At the same time, a thunderbolt of news came from the sky to the horror of Sipang—His Majesty the Emperor had fallen ill!

When he received a joint report from the military that the Eagle Nation was attacking from the Eastern Star Domain and the chain of crystal walls was broken, he fainted on his desk, and was relieved by the royal medical team, but the royal medical officer gave him a stern warning about his condition, if he still wants to recover as soon as possible and deal with national affairs, then he must temporarily stay away from those cases that make him angry.

Heimerdin finally temporarily delegated some of his power to the Grand Prince Suketai, leaving him to govern on his behalf.

On the surface, Suktai was very sad about Heimerding's serious illness, but in fact he had been waiting for such a transition of power for a long time, and even when this moment came, he did not know how to describe this inner exhilaration.

Yes, the Eagle Country people have come in and have already landed on the mainland, but after the two sides have fought and collected intelligence, the Eagle Country people, specifically this fusion Eagle Country, Cachino, Kubu and other countries The strength of the "coalition army" is actually not as good as the local defense force of Xipang. According to preliminary estimates, the Eagle Nation's army is probably between six million men. And the combat troops in Sipang are 12 million people.

When Suktai took power, Fire appointed a retainer who followed him, Brian, and directly created the position of commander-in-chief of the Homeland's joint defense. It is equivalent to crossing above Wang Xia Erde and Cao Shidao, as well as Hemmerhill and other people that Heimerding relied on before, Brian directly pointed out the weakness of the Eagle Country's insufficient troops, and advocated luring the snakes into the hole, letting them go deep into the Xipang territory, and then mobilizing heavy troops to annihilate the Eagle ** team.

This set of plans has been fully agreed by Su Ketai, unlike most of the pessimistic Xipang people, Su Ketai sees this as his own opportunity, he has not hidden his heart for outsiders since he was a child, and hopes that the more his father, then what is more remarkable than bringing an empire back to greatness in the midst of danger?

It's like every great man encounters the times that make him famous. Sukhtai thought his chance had come. This is the fortune given to him, if he can firmly grasp it, he can create great feats in one fell swoop, relying on the depth of Sipang's native strategy to lure the enemy deep into annihilating the Eagle Nation, and at the same time counterattack from it, complete the great strategy that Hemmerding failed to complete, and in the future, history will enshrine him on the altar.

However, a series of measures taken by Sukhtay's administration are a large number of adjustments to change the pattern of Hemerding, and after Brian, who has been the chief of the operations department of the Ministry of National Defense, is not promoted, he is appreciated by Suketai and serves as the commander-in-chief of the local joint defense, Suketai also immediately installed his own people into various important organs, and everyone can see that this is Suketai's plan to weaken Heimerding's power and let his people come to power.

And Lao Chen's vein felt a trace of coldness in such a pattern.

The purge carried out by His Majesty the Emperor after the defeat of the Battle of Xia Sanyan is still fresh in their memories, and many officers and even high-ranking generals who wavered in their will against Heimerdin were destroyed and killed. Although these old ministers have shown enough loyalty to Hemerdine to be able to stand firm, but Hemerding is now seriously ill, and if Sukhtai holds the power of the country and even ascends the throne, and then thinks of Suketai's impatient performance now, the fate they may encounter is chilling to think about.

As a close minister of Hemerding, Cao Qiudao, who even controlled the Guards Legion, immediately met with Hemerding as a representative of the old minister's faction, and bitterly stated that the current situation was severe, and Heimerding, who was recuperating behind closed doors, did not expect that his eldest prince was so anxious, and even at the time of the crisis of the empire, he would be greedy for power, and immediately summoned Suketai.

After that day, Heimerding's illness was a little worse because of his anger, and Sukhtay was silent, trembling, and promised Hemerding that he would not do anything like that again, so that he could barely retain the right to govern, but he knew that this was already the edge of Heimerding's patience, and if he made any more mistakes, Hemertin would most likely look at his brother Sukein, who had been trampled under his feet all along.

In the fitness hall, there was a thunderous wind and thunder, accompanied by "Split! Chop! Chop! "A dull thud.

In his fitness hall, Su Ketai, who was wearing shorts and exposing his tendons, wrapped two white bandages around his fists, and kept hitting a boxing robot in front of him.

With an explosive blow and a long-lasting tremor humming sound, Suktai's punch had already pierced through the cushion, even knocking the robot into a hole where the internal circuit board was visible.

His voice roared out at this moment, "Damn! What a fucking damn thing! ”

He still remembered Heimerding angrily scolding himself: "Monkey is stupid! That expression, when he used to show this expression to anyone else, he announced the fate of that person's demise, and of course this expression also appeared when facing Su Kein, who was completely different from him in terms of personality, philosophy, and even behavior. Whenever Hymerdine taught Su Kein a lesson, he would reprimand his unsuccessful brother from the side, relying on the satisfaction that Dark Mocking had always looked at him and Su Kein's failure. And now, this kind of look actually appeared on him, that kind of disgust, disgust, and even treat you like a stupid pig!

Go******! Damn it!

Only through this can Suktai vent his inner anger. What made him feel even more angry was that after he took power, Su Keyin had spoken out on some inappropriate occasions more than once, expressing the inappropriateness of starting war against Sipang, and even very unwise for him Su Ketai to publicly proclaim that he would include the Eagle Princess's daughter in the palace.

These are what he knows about! The reason why he said that the Eagle Queen's daughter would end the expedition to the Eagle Country after marrying him was to break the strong morale of the Eagle Country, thinking that the Eagle Country's Patriotic War was fought so cruelly and so bitterly, as long as the princess died, it could immediately be exchanged for the peace of the people, and the military pressure on Xipang continued to increase, I am afraid that the Eagle country's internal affairs will be infighting. However, who knew that the people of the Eagle Kingdom attached so much importance to their royal daughters that they would rather hold on to it than accept such humiliation. These damned eagles!

In Su Ketai's view, Su Keyin invisibly spread these remarks, saying that he had no ambition, he didn't believe it at all, he dared to guarantee that he was deliberately shaking the foundation of his governance, and when the time came, Heimerding might be able to pull down his magnificent prince from the top with a single thought, and the one on top would be the cunning younger brother who seemed to be forever in the world, but in fact had already arranged everything in secret!

He'd never let that happen!

"In Sipon, we believe in the ideas that our ancestor Hemerding I put forward more than 2,000 years ago." The philosophy of infinite war, also because of the domination of this philosophical thought, Sipang from a state to unprecedented growth, became an empire, joined the Star Alliance, as an important position in the Star Alliance, the existence of civilization in the Star Alliance, until now, this idea also plays a very important role: that is, war is always inevitable, always like a tide with human civilization and continue to appear, but also the continuation of political means, and once the war is launched, it is necessary to use infinite violence to absolutely dominate and dominate the enemy, even under the backwardness of civilization and military technology, it is necessary to use all means to carry out war to achieve the goal。 ”

This was at the meeting of the second prince Su Keyin, who was talking to Lin Hai, who had protected Joses at a critical juncture since the attack on the Patton One satellite city, and made Su Keyin much closer to him. He didn't have the impression of a barbarian state from the earl at the beginning, but in constant contact, he was extremely interested in the core of the earl played by Lin Hai. Of course, this is also because Lin Hai deliberately revealed some of his thoughts to him, of course, the most important thing is that this second prince is not those war maniacs of the Black Poetine family, but an outlier, who thinks that the Xipang people are unjust in the war. This is very different from the current overwhelming propaganda and exaggeration of how this war is beneficial to the country and the nation in Xipang, and he can be regarded as one of the few sober people.

"If the war in the era of interstellar agriculture is that the means lag behind the end, the era of interstellar exploration is that the means of war and the purpose are roughly matched, and in the current era of the interstellar alliance, it is the means of war that have been required by the purpose of war, and will even go to the opposite of the purpose of war. Humanity has so far created an interstellar age of unprecedented prosperity by virtue of the great miracle of intelligent life, and we have gained a foothold in the vast universe, and we have created great social wealth, but this war is destroying this wealth soon, and it is very likely that everything in the entire human civilization will be destroyed. ”

"Everything we have accumulated is being squandered by this cosmic war, and the war of 3,000 years ago could have been years, if not decades, in a single fight. That's because the technology and means of war have not reached the point where they are now, and the consumption is not large, and the greatest consumption is probably human life. And today, we are not only consuming a lot of human lives, but also precious resources, crystals, steel, silica, banknotes...... The upgrade of the performance of weapons and equipment is accompanied by a geometric exponential increase in cost, and now this war between Xipang and the Eagle Country, one day, is equivalent to consuming a year's gross domestic product of a small country in the universe. And what about this cosmic war, the daily consumption can make a small country leap into a medium power, and every month of war is equivalent to the demise of the resources and wealth of a large country in the universe. The resources available to human beings in the universe are limited, and it is ridiculous that the purpose of this war is to plunder the space and resources of the future exhibition, but at the cost of devouring resources in huge quantities, so do we want to live or die? ”

Lin Hai had to admit that this second prince deserved to be famous for a long time, and his views alone were amazing. It's just that he is the opposite of Heimerding's philosophy, so he is not taken seriously.

Facing Su Keyin's eyes, Lin Haidao said, "The universe should not be a rule that you can only live if you die or me, if human beings don't want to be dominated and destroyed by war, then they must learn to control and eliminate war. ”

"Control and eliminate war, that's a good point." Su Keyin nodded, "This is the first time that anyone has talked to me about war, and they have put away hatred and ethnic groups and put them on the level of overall interests. If we want to end the war, we must put aside the so-called hypocritical spiritual will and false righteousness, and find the most critical core of it, and this core is the key to leading the war and stopping the war, otherwise the seeds of war will never die out in such a strategy and the hatred that has been repeated by the strategy. ”

"Winning glory for the country is a false righteousness, and winning glory for the country does not mean that for the survival of the country it becomes an executioner to slaughter other people's homes. To serve a certain leader, to give everything for a certain theocracy, is a false spiritual will. If you are loyal to the leader, where is the country and the constitution placed? ”

Lin Hai looked at Su Keyin, "Does the second prince know that all this you envisioned, it is likely that he will never be born?" ”

"Yes, I know," Sukein stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "War creates hatred, hatred distorts people's wills and hearts, and these twisted monsters will continue to wreak havoc, bringing more scars to more people, to this world, every one is shocking. What is even more terrible is a plague, which will not die at all, but will grow forever in people's hearts like a seed of darkness, and at some point, it will bloom into a very evil flower, and the cycle will be repeated, and it will be replaced forever. ”

Su Keyin muttered, "This is probably the fate that God sowed for the entire human race when he created man, there is no escape, there is nowhere to hide, and the information that we have existed in this universe may end up disappearing without a trace, leaving no trace." ”

A slightly gentle voice sounded, "Brother, it's too desperate for you to say this kind of thing." I don't like it. ”

Jose walked from the side, today's gathering of Sukein is full of some of the top scholars and technical figures in Sipang, this is also the daily routine of Sukein's socialization, Jose is undoubtedly very popular here, but unfortunately most of these figures who have little to do with politics in their respective fields feel that she is unattainable, and they are humble and respectful to this princess. Josese would probably find it boring, too.

"And, brother, do you have the ability to control and dominate the war?"

A look of pain flashed in Su Keyin's eyes, and he shook his head, "I didn't, and neither did my father." ”

"Yes, perhaps, as you say, war is a beast that needs to be controlled, but now we can't control it unilaterally. The Eagle Nation has broken through the Eastern Star Field, they have completed the Deng6, we are facing all-out resistance, and it doesn't matter what the future holds. Anyway, as royalty, we're all going to live and die with Sipang, aren't we? Joses's tone was slightly downcast.

Su Kein nodded, "Yes, you're right. We have no control over it anymore and can only let this beast run wild...... Forget it, let's not think about it for the time being, you guys talk first, I'll go over there and say hello to a few friends. ”

Su Keyin said goodbye, but Jose did not express his dissatisfaction with his retreat, in fact, Su Keyin had already seen Jose in an off-the-shoulder black dress, unusually beautiful like a stunning black swan, when she was talking to people, she was absentmindedly looking at them. The mirror in his heart is like Su Keyin, who didn't know at this time that his sister was not here to chat with him, of course, he left first under the pretext.

In fact, since the last attack on Patton No. 1 and the imperial concubine met him, Lin Hai has not communicated with Joses alone.

Joses did not stop some of her activities, but often appeared at the upper banquets and some routine events, as a foreign guest, Lin Hai would often see her in these places, but Joses always stood tall as the focus, or appeared in a hurry and left, or talked with the great prince Su Ketai, the Minister of State, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and other supreme beings.

The hopeful Cloud Lake Field, especially Ryan and Tara, sometimes desperately wanted to see Joses walk straight to him in front of everyone's eyes to show that he was favored by her, but this kind of thing did not happen.

Jose did not look for him, did not show him a different attitude and a special meaning to her.

It was like everything that had been born that night of the attack, the vulnerability she had shown, the words she had embraced, it was just a nightmare. For example, the photo, which was banned by Heimerding's order, quickly faded into obscurity.

And now, she came to him and said, "I saw you the other day at the Minister of the Interior's debriefing reception. ”

Lin Haidao, "Her Royal Highness the Princess is still concerned about me in addition to her busy schedule, which is really flattering to Your Highness." ”

Under Josese's dress were her legs in black diamond-patterned leg socks, a pair of shiny black pumps, with broken diamonds falling from the bow at the cuffs, shining in the light of the banquet, her eyes wandered to her feet, and she said softly, "Regarding the events of that night, because after all, it was a sudden situation, so it is inevitable that there will be gaffes, and some of the actions I have done, including what I have said, please forget it, and besides, please don't let ......it out, Mr. Earl," she gradually raised her head and stared at Lin Hai as she spoke." Because it is about the decency of the royal family of Sipong...... Can it be done? ”

Since just now, everyone in the Yunhu Star Domain has been in a place where they can roughly hear the two of them talking, but they are not too close to social distancing, but these words always fall in their ears.

Tara, who had hoped that Lin Hai would be able to have a show with Joses, looked slightly stiff, Blue looked complicated, and the older and more serious Ryan shook his head and sighed gently.

Ah Xia and Nina paid attention to every change in Lin Hai's expression, and when they saw the latter's stunnedness, the two girls suddenly felt a little sad.

People thought that after that attack, the princess, who had never opened her heart to any man, was very likely to leave the altar and make a good relationship with the young man who could touch her heart, after all, there was no shortage of such romantic love stories that could be told in the royal family for a while.

This speculation has become more and more convincing in the period that followed, and it has led many people to hope to witness a trend. Some people may be sincere, while others may have dark thoughts, after all, if Princess Sipon marries an earl of a small state whose status and status are not commensurate with her, then she will really wait to see the jokes of the Black Merding royal family.

But at this moment, Joses's attitude immediately made this speculation fall to an end and return to normal thinking. Cut off the possibility of such jokes.

Lin Hai was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "That night, I just attended an event with the princess, as for what happened halfway, what the princess said, I remember it is just ordinary words, if there is anything special, forgive me for not remembering anything." ”

He still remembered the way Joses sobbed, like a wronged little girl, remembered the touch of his hand patting her back, and if he told Lin Zijun that Princess Xipang was actually crying in his arms, I was afraid that the group of guys would give him boos and contempt in the slightest disbelief.

Joses's slender swan-like neck was slightly dotted, and a pair of beautiful eyes paid attention to the slightest change in his expression, "But Monsieur Count's bravery and loyalty at that time will be rewarded." ”

"You don't have to reciprocate." Lin Hai shook his head, "There is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." ”

Joses nodded, "You say, I give you permission, anything...... I can say it all in front of me today. ”

"Then please forgive me for being rude, Your Highness Princess, in that case, I am afraid that anyone will behave like me to keep you safe, and you need not be worried. The princess's behavioral reaction is also human nature, everyone has times of vulnerability, and there will be times of sadness, watching the departure of relatives and friends, watching the death of comrades-in-arms, at that time, all that is needed may be a shoulder, a comforting hug, and not who it is. I have never told anyone a detail since that day, and I will forget about it forever after today, so the princess need not worry. I'm a little tired, forgive me for quitting first. ”

Lin Hai bowed to Joses, and when he left, the second prince came over and comforted him, Lin Hai said goodbye to him as usual, and walked out of the banquet palace.

Standing on the steps outside the Banquet Palace, Lin Hai heard a sudden faint voice from behind him, "Count Hannibal!" ”

Lin Hai turned around like a whirlwind, his body was long and handsome, Jose was slightly distracted, the initial sorrow had subsided a lot, and his eyes were a little softer, "Are you angry?" ”

"Her Royal Highness wants to maintain the reputation of the royal family, and it is reasonable that the events of that day have never happened. But has His Highness ever thought about why the bereaved families of those who were originally the country's most loyal martyrs would take the extreme road, and all this was just a massacre, or let all the media report collectively lose their voice, as if nothing had been born? ”

Lin Hai paused and said, "Could it be that if you cover your ears, no one will cry?" If you cover your eyes, there will be no blood all over the ground? Blinded by perception, you can't feel the sincere temperature of the person in your arms? ”

For Joses, Lin Hai's words were already very bold and transgressive, even if it was a foreign guest, it was still a big crime to be disrespectful to the princess, but surprisingly, Joses did not show anger, but looked at him gently, and said, "You can be angry about this...... After going through that, I also know that there are some things that are accumulated in my heart, and I don't vomit or feel unhappy. However, it doesn't mean that as a princess, you can do anything, as you can see, there are things I can't do, and I will also be assassinated...... These problems are not something that I can solve, so I can only cover them up and block them temporarily, hoping that one day the danger of the country will be removed, and I can make up for those poor people......"

Jose bit her lips, which were as soft as honey, and finally made up her mind, "Actually, after that day, when I think about it carefully, I didn't just think of you as a shoulder...... Perhaps, you are not the same as the people I have met before. However, I can't give you any promises...... Because that's just unrealistic...... But this does not mean that there is no future, from now on, I will open some convenient doors for you everywhere, whether it is military merit or political diplomacy, you will rise step by step, gain the respect of the Xipang people, and it will not be long before you will be pivotal, at that time, we will talk about commitments or future matters...... Good no good? ”

The door of the banquet palace opened, and some guests walked out, Joses restored her proud mask, and said, "Now it is my imperial brother Su Ketai who is in charge of the state affairs on behalf of my father, and he has mentioned you to me many times, and if he wants to meet you, I will arrange for you, no accident, he may be the future king of Xipang, for my sake, he will pave a very spacious and smooth road for you." ”

Lin Hai immediately thought that the value of him and Pandora behind him had been recognized, and Su Ketai naturally didn't want to see his younger brother Su Ke win over himself, the "Count of Hannibal", so he decided to win him over.

Lin Hai nodded.

Joses turned and walked back to the Banquet Palace, where the guests who greeted her saluted the supreme woman of Sipon and stared at her beautiful back.
