The New Year is coming, and the empire is going through a winter that seems to be in peace, but is actually full of dangers.

The confrontation between Fibers Li Qinghe of the Starfleet of the Eagle Country in the Lower Sanyan Star Domain and the famous general of Xipang Wang Xiaerde is ongoing, and due to the winter on the main star with the same rotation period that is not conducive to combat, all the ground forces and the starfleet are waiting for a new round of large-scale offensive that will come in a few months.

And judging from the gradual heating up of the war, this war may be sliding towards the abyss of unpredictability in the way that people fear.

The war about dignity and freedom is fought in distant places, but the chill can be far away, through this winter, to everyone's neck, making people involuntarily shiver.

On the side of the fast reaction team of the Knights, the comparison of the strength of Lin Hai and Nie Feng's team is analyzed, the gap between the two sides is inevitable, first of all, the fast reaction team is all new newcomers, and Lin Hai received trial training at the same time, and the training was less than five months. However, the only instructors and Gu Xiaobei who can provide combat experience will be assigned to the team during the mission military exercise, and they will not be able to intervene in the squad to support them.

Compared with Nie Feng's Dawn Battalion squad, all of them were screened out of the infantry team, including a mix of newcomers and veterans, in terms of combat experience, the use of tactics and strategies, plus Nie Feng led the team, all of them were above Lin Hai's squad.

If Lin Hai wants to get the first opportunity, the first thing is to ask Nie Feng and the others to think that Lin Hai is indeed injured, and even affect his performance in mission operations, so that Nie Feng loses his basic judgment. At that moment, Homer acted according to the plan, returned to the center of the camp, and deliberately sought an opportunity to fire at the Dawn Camp, which made the speculation about Lin Hai's injury even heavier.

As for the inside of the quick reaction team, Lin Hai also showed a normal posture, and the soldiers who were worried about his situation saw that he was full of energy, and it didn't seem like he had a secret injury, but he also put his mind at ease, so as not to affect his morale.

However, Lin Hai and Redier Shaohao and others in private, talking about the mission military exercise to formulate a plan to publicize the injury to the outside world, everyone was very excited, they had already held their breath, and they were full of confidence in fighting with Nie Feng, and at the same time there was a great excitement of leading the enemy by the nose, after all, as long as they thought that if the opponent who despised them saw that they were not sheep, but the expression of a fierce attack on them like a tiger, just thinking about it, it made people feel a lot of pleasure to vent their evil anger.

Of course, the implementation of the plan also requires the cooperation of all parties, and in order to prevent the strategy from being ineffective, most of the ordinary non-commissioned officers of the squad should be treated with Lin Hai's unclear physical condition, so they can neither be too depressed, nor can they be seen by the opponents who are secretly observing.

Lin Hai opened his personal terminal again, but he didn't expect that countless snowflakes-like messages appeared on the light screen of his personal terminal, which were letters one after another, from different soldiers from various units and squads of the major battalions of the Knights.

"Boy, I know that you have won the battle with you, although I really want to fight with you, but I still stay after the military exercise, can you stay in the Knights...... Are you confident that you can kill that Nie Feng? If they win again this time, our two battalions will be completely trampled under their feet! So don't allow your represent's chips to lose! If you can't defeat Nie Feng head-on, you will shrink your head and hide like a turtle in a place where the Dawn Camp can't find it, in short, don't be killed in shame! This message came from one of the "Five Heroes of the Infantry Team" that Lin Hai had seen.

"Come on! The Order of the Bath is not for the faint of heart, let's see what kind of person qualifies for the Order of the Bath! ——Anonymous to all members of the team. ”

"Just look at your willingness to ask for an autograph for your buddies and Xia Ying, regardless of the shame of being rejected, you know that you are righteous enough! I'm Zhang Lan of the 36th Mechanics Squad, and our whole team hopes that you will beat Nie Feng up, hey, at least do your best, please! If this guy is called the leader, he will win the date of the summer anchor! We're going to storm Camp Dawn and fight this brawny bastard, but it's definitely against military rules. Therefore, all the soldiers of my department are left and stayed, and it is up to your Excellency to fight! "There are also similar alternative cheers.

Of course, there are also threats, the most representative are the men and women from the Dawn Battalion Mecha Brigade who are known as the "Acura Double Dance": "Boy, don't think that having a Bass Medal can be a fox and a fake tiger, the medal is distributed to qualified people, how can you do it?" Is it just because he assassinated a fat speaker who was corrupt and pot-bellied, and he didn't even lift a woman's back? On the battlefield, the one who has always added glory to the shoulders of the other party is the guy who wears a medal on our side...... But don't worry, you won't run into Nie Feng. Until then, we'll find you on a mission and kill you! Be careful, crawler, you have nowhere to run...... Wash up and wait for us! ”

Lin Hai looked at these internal letters that almost burst his e-mail, and saw all kinds of entrustment on them, optimistic, cheering and threatening, and waved another finger, "Beep!" With a thud, he closed the personal terminal. Let this information and external distractions blow up your mailbox.

The New Year is ushered in by people who raise their glasses to a feast of cocktails and roast chicken, wishing success and victory in the future war.

Although the war has been affected to a greater or lesser extent, people's lives are generally normal, and gossip is still spreading in private in the usual way. For example, this year's personnel change in the Ministry of Armaments has also indicated that the momentum has reared its head...... For example, a reporter photographed a member of the House of Commons dating the scandal of the new white and tender star in a hotel...... For example, at the swearing-in banquet of the Knights, a junior sergeant did not hesitate to fight in order to get the signature of the imperial idol......

In the macro environment, gossip seems to be just a conversation point for people to spend their time after dinner, but for Lin Hai, it has caused a lot of trouble.

Because basically everyone who knows him knows who the rumored "little non-commissioned officer who made waves in order to help Tong Ze get Xia Ying's autograph" is.

At the same time, his competition with the Knights and Nie Feng, the king of the Dawn Battalion, about the victory or defeat of both sides, also caused heated discussions.

The Lin family marched into the lower courtyard, and now it is impossible to return to the riverside star in the Milan star district to celebrate the New Year. Therefore, the New Year's banquet was set at the castle bought by the capital star.

The castle also received a number of guests, including a distant relative of a certain marquis family who had sold the castle in the first place, and arrived as the old owner, but like many visitors, he inquired about the duel between Lin Hai and the military exercise within the Knights.

It seems that the movement in the Royal Young Knights has also aroused considerable attention from the outside world.

But it was only these guests from the outside, but very few of them could see Lin Hai himself.

During the annual leave before the start of the Knights' mission, Lin Hai returned to the ancient castle, and when he arrived at the family castle, Lin Hai received unprecedented treatment.

The green road outside the castle is full of trees on both sides decorated with colorful hanging lights.

He rode on such a road in Ang Lee's car, and on the way, Ang Lee's mouth was like a river, "Don't you know that during the time you were in the Knights, the family and the company treated you like a god, Wayne Enterprises recruited troops this year, and those new employees in the Milan Star District would always quietly ask in the office lobby who the legendary Lin Hai was?" When I learned that the big boss of the Earl and you were in the capital star, I was extremely sorry, and being able to meet the hero who killed Garnathan was probably an important reason why Wayne Enterprises became an elite in the Milan Star Zone. ”

"And in the building here in our capital star, at first, some newcomers didn't care about the affairs of the family, but when the respected professor of Qingyuan Academy arrived in Pantaxing to calculate public affairs for us and others, and arrested several local colluding parliamentarians and politicians, your name quickly spread in the company here. Later, many of your movements in the Knights were revealed to your family and company, especially when you heard that you defeated an infantry brigade with a "death squad", which was simply exciting. People are talking about your previous performance in Qingyuan Academy, about your unbeatable ride in the formula race, about your thrill in killing the speaker, and about how powerful you were when you competed in the knights' squad, and even me, your personal secretary at the beginning, was highly respected! Ha Luha, now everyone wants to see how you defeat the rumored Dawn Battalion King Nie Feng from the outside world! ”

Looking at Ang Lee, Lin Hai could already imagine that he was surrounded by a group of female staff girls in Wayne's company, which may be no different from his current trance-like expression.

When he arrived at the gate of the castle, Lin Hai saw Lin Wei as the leader, and Ning Qing was greeted in turn, Lin Wei who was stroking Lin Hao's head, Lin Nan who was dressed neatly, Lin Yuanshan and Lin Jiang, and their children Lin Ke Lin Delun, now both of them are dressed in straight suits, and they are extremely outstanding.

At this time, these two cousins, who had suppressed Lin Hao in the family in the past, were obviously respected in their respective academies because of Lin Hai's relationship, so that when they looked at Lin Hai at this time, their eyes lit up with a hint of admiration for him as an example. And at this time, the family, the rise and fall of honor and disgrace has been with Lin Hailian, who is struggling in the Knights, how dare the two of them make a mistake as before, this time the academy came to the capital star during the winter vacation of the unification of the empire, and it was also to find an opportunity to improve relations with Lin Hai to get closer. I had been living here for more than ten days before, just waiting for the moment when Lin Hai returned.

The elders of the families and the members of the board of directors of the company heard Li An report in advance on the arrival time of picking up Lin Hai, and greeted them early.

Especially those high-level people in the capital star management, when they saw Lin Hai get out of the car, they all looked at him with admiration.

Seeing this situation for the first time, Lin Hai was slightly stunned, and then Lin Nan's laughter and scolding, "You kid, you have the Order of Bath, you didn't even take it out early!" It was only when we heard the news from the Knights that we dared to confirm this again and again. How can you hide it so much! What else do we not know? ”

Among the elders of the family, Lin Nan and Lin Hai have a good relationship, so at this time, only he can say this. But it can be seen that Lin Jiang, Lin Yuanshan and others still have an unbelievable attitude towards Lin Hai with this medal.

Lin Hai had no choice but to be embarrassed, "I didn't know the importance of the Order of the Badas before. ”

This is not to blame Lin Hai, who asked Lou Jiacheng to give him the medal at the beginning, his mysterious appearance made Lin Hai, who had just been interrogated by the queen, nervous, and always felt that since the queen gave him the medal through this channel, he definitely didn't want him to show it around. If it weren't for the oath banquet, Lin Hai was afraid that he wouldn't use it easily.

The Earl, on the other hand, never mentioned the Order of Bath, but it could be seen that there was already a lot of restraint in his eyes, which was clearly a kind of turbulent storm in his heart, which he had repeatedly struggled to suppress. For aristocrats like them, restraint and patience are usually a virtue, although from a rational point of view they are actually a kind of spiritual masochism.

But an old nobleman like Earl Lin Wei has long been accustomed to this so-called "demeanor" that never easily reveals his inner emotions, let alone showing his true emotions in front of so many people at this time.

It was only at the end of the day that he finally nodded vigorously to Lin Hai, and his eyes were already filled with many things he wanted to express.

Lin Hai also nodded at him.

Lin Wei's eyes suddenly had a surge of relief, but he just couldn't say a sentence similar to "Child, you have done a great job!" "That's the case.

Between the two, it seems that because of the inseparable blood relationship between father and son, it is easy to convey a lot of information.

******

I haven't seen each other for more than four months, and there are so many things that happened halfway, Lin Hai saw everyone in the family again, and in this atmosphere, he was also very cordial.

He deeply felt that the fate of this group of people was firmly linked to him under this great era of stars, no matter what kind of problems or struggles there were before, but their bloodlines were the most connected and intimate, and they could no longer be separated.

Entering the castle together, Lin Hao also came to his side and said in a low voice, "Brother, you must tell me all about the difficult training process in the Knights...... Now that the battle with Nie Feng is being passed on outside in the military exercise of your mission, some of the statements are too annoying! It is rumored that you are thin and can't stand the push of Nie Feng's men, and you have been injured. ”

Lin Hai looked at the worried expressions of the family members around him about his walking and posture, and knew that this kind of statement was naturally thought to be groundless by outsiders. Even the people of the family believed it. After all, the name of the Dawn Camp of the Knights is too loud in the imperial capital.

Lin Hai had no choice but to reassure him, and some doubts and attacks from the outside world actually didn't need to be ignored at all.

Lin Hao finally calmed down, and said, "It's great that you're back now, after several invitations from Councilor Frank and my sister, my sister came back and was furious, and once broke her favorite porcelain...... It is conceivable that she must have been humiliated and couldn't tell! ”

Lin Hai looked at Lin Wei in surprise, but she hurriedly avoided her gaze, obviously unwilling to get involved in this issue.

But Lin Hai also knew that Frank must have used his influence and family cooperation to make a lot of undivided demands on Lin Wei. Lin Wei was coerced by him, but because of the family's interests, she sometimes had to compromise.

Lin Hai could even imagine that Frank's cunning character must have set up a trap for Lin Wei, and he was not afraid that she would not take the bait, or that Lin Wei was actually involuntarily, being forced step by step, and was about to fall into his crocodile......

Inexplicably, Lin Hai clenched his fists. He didn't resent those who fought with each other, but he felt an inexplicable anger at Frank, who was a man of disobedience to the yin. It's like a man who is waiting under a tree with an axe while you are climbing on a tree, and if you are weak, he will cut down your foundation while you are not ready.

Lin Hao's startled voice sounded, "Brother, what's wrong with you?" Why is your face so scary? ”

"Nothing." Lin Hai regained his composure, "I just didn't have a good rest. ”

Looking for an opportunity, Lin Wei approached him and asked in a low voice, "What happened between you and Xia Ying?" ”

Obviously, Lin Wei had already known the rumors from the Knights, but she obviously wouldn't believe that Lin Hai was denied an autograph for the sake of his comrades.

When she asked this, she deliberately had a light expression, but when she squinted, she had already taken all of Lin Hai's expressions into her eyes.

“…… It's just a return to square one. Lin Hai smiled.

Lin Wei looked at him suspiciously for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Frank wants to see you, let me arrange a trip in the next few days when you come back." ”

Hearing her tone, Lin Hai was furious and said indifferently, "If he wants to see me, he is going to go?" Doesn't he ask me if I'm in the mood? ”

Lin Wei sighed, "Don't listen to Lin Hao's nonsense...... Me, nothing. It's just that sometimes I'm in a bad mood......"

Then she suddenly said softly in a low voice, "He offered help that the family can't refuse at this stage, please go with me, no matter what prejudice you have against him, please put it aside for the time being, and put the family first." ”

Lin Hai looked at her, "If he makes excessive demands on you for the benefit of the family, you will also agree?" ”

Lin Wei glanced at him, her eyelashes fluttering slightly, "It's not yet this far, you don't have to worry, everything is under my control." ”

Lin Hai was about to say something more, but suddenly thought of a possibility, so he finally let Lin Wei nod with relief, "Okay, meet him, you can arrange it!" ”

Although it was an annual leave to return to the family, Lin Hai could already feel that with the impact of the front-line war, the situation in the capital star circle fluctuated, and it became really violent.

******

Coming to the study alone with Earl Lin Wei, Earl closed the door, turned his head to look at Lin Hai, and then said one sentence - "Nie Feng can't be defeated!" "Step, you don't have to worry, everything is under my control."
