Chapter 245: Sit back and wait for the maple blossoms to bloom
Eagle Nation Standard Time, 7:30 a.m.
Imperial Prime Minister Mufu made a televised address to the All-Eagle Nation on national television. On TV, Mufu is dressed in a formal suit and faces the camera at the mahogany table with the small Eagle Nation flag.
His well-textured face revealed a vicissitudes of life, and a little relieved. The prime minister has been in power for six years, and in the four-year prime minister rotation, he has been re-elected for two consecutive terms with the support of the queen and the people's parliament, but it is just a short period of six years.
During the six years of the Moof's rule, it was an extraordinary time for the empire's fate, and the formation of a wartime cabinet, the Eagle Nation faced an all-out war like never before, and he shouldered a heavy responsibility and mission. This pressure of the state and nation carved a very deep and timeless mark on the face of this middle-aged man.
His vicissitudes of life, which he would not have been impressed by anything, finally had a long-term pressure in front of today's TV speech, and he was relieved.
He raised his eyebrows, heard his proud voice, and sounded in front of the camera.
"Today is a beautiful day, and I will take this opportunity to give a speech to you and bring you a message.
Not long ago, Dugu and Tiefu of the Lingwei army led a fleet and attacked the Seema orbital circle with a rainstorm of energy rays and bombs. When the news was received, the empire was shaken, and hundreds of millions of compatriots were moved. I've been to the Rima Orbit, a miracle of man's own colony, where the people live like planetary cities, where children play, girls laugh, carefree love and growth...... However, it was so sudden, they used their flesh and blood to withstand the bombardment of the giant ships of the Lingwei fleet, and were crushed by the steel mecha of the Lingwei army, and the enemy was extremely vicious and cruel to carry out the slaughter. The purpose is to unite with the Sipang people to invade the people of our empire, so as to further rule and enslave this weathered country.
In order to resist the invasion, our fleet went to the Sunset Gorge Space Passage in the Meteor Domain and launched a counterattack against the Ling Guards...... Now, I can announce it to you with an irrepressible sense of excitement.
Battle of Sunset Gorge - Great victory
Our fleet and the soldiers of the rebel warships assembled in the Meteor Domain have defended our land with great difficulty and courage with their blood, and have upheld our dignity at the cost of sacrifice
In the Battle of Sunset Gorge, the Feather Fleet was defeated, we captured back the Sima orbital circle, and the murderous war thug Tiephta will be judged by all the people of the empire, which is a hard-won great victory for us against the invaders
We will defeat all the enemies who covet the land around us and finally defeat the Sipon, defend our homeland, and let the justice of the free people, the free people, shine in this universe, and we will all fight for life
So far, the warriors who have sacrificed their blood and lives for the empire for this battle, but have brought us victory, salute"
In the residential building where the first rays of morning light shine, the man named Woot is just one of the countless middle-aged family men in the capital star, today is the weekend, and he is drinking a cup of coffee made by his wife on the windowsill in the early morning, and has a simple breakfast with two pieces of coarse bread stacked together. A lot of things have changed, and there used to be a golden crispy omelette on the bread slices, but now the omelette is gone, and the coffee has a more sour flavor and is not as fresh as it used to be.
The only thing that hasn't changed is that Wooter watches the morning news every day.
What step did the war between the Eagle Nation and the Sipangs fall? He didn't know it, he only knew that the war had affected people's lives in every way, his wife had begun to complain about rising prices, his monthly salary had begun to shrink rapidly, people in his children's schools were panicking, and the concern about the war had become an inseparable part of people's lives. Even children are no exception.
It is said that the son of Lao Wang next door was issued a death notice, his son graduated from a regular military academy, and after graduation, he became a member of a division of the Space Force and participated in the defense of Fei Yuanxing. When the Empire's corpse collectors delivered the body to the community, they heard the sound of the Empire's national anthem, "The Brave," playing.
Later, Lao Wang's son was buried in the cemetery in the back mountain, and many neighbors in the community went to participate in the condolences. In the next block, it is said that the families of two Space Force soldiers also held funerals.
Young people are dying in the war to defend their homeland. And Wooter pays the most attention to the children, if this war, the Eagle Country is defeated, the children, it doesn't matter, there is a bright future.
At this moment, the Prime Minister's televised speech came from the morning news.
"Battle of Sunset Gorge, Great Victory"
Almost the moment he heard the news, Wooter stood up from his seat with a "pout", and by this time, his wife, who was living next to him, had dropped the mop and stretched out her hand to cover her mouth.
The situation in the empire is worrying, even the housewives who do not care about the military and war in peacetime, and only care about the results, feel the oppressive force of war from the wages that every man brings home with declining purchasing power, from the supermarkets that are suddenly robbed of supplies under every rumor of the front line, and from the growing number of law and order problems in the neighborhoods under the panic of the people.
And at this moment, the announcement of a "great victory" was enough to ⊥ Wooter's wife suddenly burst into tears
It is life that is suppressed, but the culprit is this war that detonates human society.
Woolt suddenly burst out with a roar belonging to a middle-aged man, and kept punching the void hard, and the whole person was immersed in a state of encouragement, he rushed over and hugged his child, and kissed dozens of mouthfuls, and the poor little guy covered his face, and looked at his crazy father with tears in his eyes.
Then he sat in the study excitedly, hurriedly turned on the computer, and saw that the Internet was boiling, and it was obvious that the Prime Minister's speech was crazy all over the major star regions.
Wooter was suddenly attracted by a cacophony of noise, and turned his head, it was the other residential buildings in the community, and the sound of stomping on the ground and pounding the table was heard from far and near.
However, what attracts Woot even more is the distance, the towering and complex land and air tracks, each lined up with countless vehicles because of the rush hour.
At this moment, the cars stopped flowing, and then, in unison, whistled in unison. The sound of the whistle soon merged into a grand sound, which resounded throughout the city, causing blood to run up the spine of everyone who heard it.
Many vehicles open their doors, and some people get down, whether it is a business car or a family car, and the people who get off the car, whether male or female, hug each other nearby, waving their hands excitedly, and the people who stop in the opposite lane shout to each other to celebrate. Countless staggered lanes have become a sea of crowds celebrating an exciting news in place.
In such a sea, two unknown single men and women just hugged each other, after bouncing, they were ashamed to find out that something was wrong and hurriedly separated, but they were embarrassed to each other, and after a while, seeing the woman's beautiful and shy face, the man was hot-headed, boldly leaned forward, wrapped his arms around his waist with trembling hands, aimed at the seductive red cherry lips, and kissed him deeply...... Then, the girl responded enthusiastically.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Deputy Prime Minister Ai Wei walked out of the Prime Minister's office, and went into the next room with the authorization of the Prime Minister and the Queen to connect at the palace.
Ai Wei was woken up by an emergency call almost in the middle of the night, and Starry Night rushed from his home to Downing Street, and was busy until this time. But at this moment, he was not tired at all, but energetic.
In this office, you can see the news reports from the outside through the tablet of the secretary next to Guò. Imperial National Television is now broadcasting the reactions of various places after hearing the news. Journalists go deep into the crowd and interview the public.
"It's amazing that we didn't know about the Nemesis program, and we have been harshly criticizing the cabinet and the military before, and until today, we don't know that they have been doing these things quietly."
"Let's salute the heroes of this battle, we can't wait to know the details of the Battle of Sunset Gorge."
"I think, many years later, people will remember the "Sunset Day" Yes, this is the name we gave, the battle of Sunset Gorge, this moment of the rout of the Lingwei army, this is a very, very exciting victory" The woman in front of the reporter's camera covered her heart with her palm, and stretched out her hand to grasp it, "...... I don't know what words to use to describe this moment......"
Ai Wei retracted his gaze and sighed with some emotion, "Compared to the threat and oppression caused by the Xipang people on the front line after they invested in the Seven Generals of Longmen, people reacted more fiercely to this revenge against Ling Wei...... That's because the other party has our blood feud......"
"Vice-Chancellor's internal letter." A black-suited government official approached Ai Wei and handed over an internal letter that was only available to a very small number of people.
Ai Wei calmly flipped through the report, his eyes wandering slowly on it, and finally, he closed the report and said to the staff officials who were watching him, "We are using the deciphering capabilities that we can call on at hand to try to reverse crack the space passage code from those captured Feather Guards to the other party...... Let's see if we can get that ship back."
Compared with the amazing victory brought by the Goddess of Nemesis project for hundreds of millions of people in the empire, the Lin family's castle in the ploughing area of the capital star seemed a little silent.
This morning, a high-ranking official from Downing Street arrived in a car, and Earl Lin Wei and the family elders with panicked faces got some news from the dictation of senior members of the cabinet.
Mrs. Ning Qing's face was pale and was supported by Lin Wei, the youngest son Lin Hao had an unbelievable look on his face, and the elders of the family next to Lin Wei all looked depressed, and some of them were a little unwilling to ask the senior councillor, as if they wanted to try to confirm the truth. Or to confirm if there is any hope of the person's return.
After hesitating, the parliamentarians were embarrassed to say that they had no comment, but they said some comforting words. For example, the cabinet and the military are trying to figure out how to notify the family as soon as there is any news.
In the end, the high-ranking officials who had passed the word took their leave, and a group of people stood in front of the castle, watching the black vehicle go away, and did not move for a long time, as if expecting that the car would suddenly turn back and overturn the news that had been told them before.
Earl Linwei stood there, and after a moment, he said continuously, "Good", "Good", "Good"
The first "good" blurted out was a blast, with a tone of pride and manly flesh.
The second "good" is to change to a mild, expectant tone.
And the third "good" is a low, sad, slightly sad and desolate tone.
Then he helped his wife and walked back to the castle, they were helpless now, facing the distant sea of stars, the manpower seemed so helpless and small...... Only wait.
The elders of those families were all depressed, stamping their feet fiercely, anxious, helpless, depressed, and worried...... In the end, it all evolved into a kind of longing that only hoped for a miracle.
The family was silent, and the castle seemed to have lost its vitality, only to bask in an atmosphere of angry and helpless pleading.
It's just that on the windowsill of that room on the third floor of the castle, the woman named Lin Wei is leaning against the window. Holding the general report of the Sunset Gorge Battle in his hand, he faced the red maple outside the manor that withered in autumn and withered in winter.
Seeing the world where the leaves were falling, she stared for a long time, as if she was going to sit here and wait for the maple tree to bloom......
