Standing on the top floor of the base building, you can't see the red fireworks in the city shooting into the sky, and then bursting out, reflecting all around.

The night breeze was slightly cold, Russell stood against the railing, looked at the lights of the city, and asked, "When will the new space jump experiment be conducted?" ”

The fat man stood beside him and took a puff of cigarette, "The jumping spacecraft needs to be tested for the final test, and the experimental tracking and data collection part also needs to be modified for the electronic ship." It will take about another three days. ”

Lyocell nodded, and suddenly said, "Give me a cigarette." ”

The fat man pulled out a cigarette and handed it to Russell, helping him light it.

Russell took a deep breath, exhaled blue-gray smoke in the night wind, watched it quickly drift away with the night wind, and said with a smile: "If the experiment is successful, we can be truly invincible." When the time comes, you will not only be a hero of the Le Ray Federation, but also a hero of the entire human race...... Why do you want to test it yourself? ”

"I don't want to be a hero," the fat man shook his head, looking into the distance, "I'm just curious...... I want to see what kind of world it is like outside this cage. ”

"Aren't you afraid of a failed experiment?" Russell turned his head to look at the fat man.

"I'm afraid." The fat man laughed, his cheeks twitched habitually, and he looked very honest and cowardly. His eyes sparkled in the night, "But I'm out of the way." ”

Russell looked at the fat man in silence, and suddenly reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

Decades of going round and round, whether he was promoted to the first person in Gachalin's military, or being on the list of famous generals, overthrowing Morton's royal family, abolishing the racial system, and establishing a democratic state, Russell actually didn't care much. But at this moment, it was proud of being a disciple like Fat Man, from the bottom of its bones.

Although this disciple is sometimes a little confused, a little absurd and out of tune, and his emotional life is also a mess, greedy for life and afraid of death, lustful for money, no quality, no grace and no self-cultivation, he scolds and spits in other people's faces at every turn, and there are more problems on the rope than the hair on his body, but only those who know him know that in the depths of his heart, there is such a cleanest place! (It doesn't seem to make sense here)

How many famous generals in the world are indifferent to fame and fortune, and how many people don't want to grasp greater power, control more wealth and the fate of more people.

In this era of brutal warfare, how many talented elites have flinched, succumbed or, having succeeded, become ruthless and more obsessed with power.

But the fat man didn't!

Russell knew that this guy was still the same little citizen.

For the sake of that responsibility, he played tricks and rolled on the ground in the most difficult times, but he refused to give in.

Similarly, when he had a powerful army, was chosen as his successor by the most powerful man in the world, and controlled the fate of a country or even an alliance, he did not think of becoming a dictator, to gain greater power, to dominate the world.

When people marvel at his achievements and applaud or denigrate his achievements, they don't know that this guy is actually a little citizen who longs for a little money, a little leisure, and lives a landlord's life with a beautiful wife in his arms. It's a fat man who trembles and cries when he's scared!

In some ways, he's a genius, in some ways he's an idiot.

He still doesn't seem to realize how many people can blush with the power and power he has in his hands, and how many careerists will want to replace him and use the power in his hands to seize the entire universe.

He just lives with a tendon, for his relatives, for his friends, for his own life.

Russell knew why the rake took the initiative to participate in the experimentation of the new space jumping technique.

Because the current Lelei Federation needs to find a new world so much.

is also because the fat man wants to see with his own eyes the world that his father and mother once saw more than 20 years ago.

He's still the same six-year-old. He hadn't grown up since the day he lost his parents.

"Fatty," Russell asked with a smile, "do you know you're famous right now?" ”

The fat man laughed innocently and nodded.

"I'm not talking about the Leray Federation......" Russell looked at the fat man a little proudly, and desperately wanted to show a modest fat face, and couldn't help but laugh, "The new list of famous players is out, and you are ranked sixteenth." ”

The fat man's smile froze, his eyes widened, and his eyes straightened.

Russell said leisurely: "Among the young generals, you are ranked first. ”

"This thing was discharged by the bastard who was full of food and had nothing to do," the fat man was angry and scolded, "Didn't he roast me on the fire?" ”

"Your fame is great now," Russell said with a smile, "In the past, the combat scope of the Lelei Army was limited to Lelei itself, and people didn't know much about you. However, since you annihilated the cyclops python Obuun and hundreds of Beliif in Resker, your data and analysis of battle examples have been printed and distributed to the Western generals. ”

The fat man snorted hard, "Fuck, I knew that!" ”

"When the news of Sheldon's fleet gets out, I'm afraid you'll be pushed to the forefront immediately." Russell looked at the fireworks that bloomed in the night sky, "Xiyue carefully studied the bandit army, analyzed our combat style and the performance of mechs and ships, and found and implemented ways to target them. Sauber, in particular, will never make the mistake of underestimating the enemy. ”

"Sober's opponent is Lao Hei," said the fat man depressedly, "It has nothing to do with me." ”

"Marshal Hastings' body does not guarantee that he will complete this war," Russell shook his head and said, "Otherwise, why would he only make strategic arrangements at the beginning of the war, but not personally command even a key battle?" ”

Seeing that the fat man was silent, Russell continued: "Do you know why he chose the battlefield with Sober in the Southeast Star Domain, and when his illness was irreversible, he changed his original intention and decided to fight against Sober?" ”

"Because of me." The fat man put his hand on the railing and sighed softly.

Russell smiled slightly, nodded and said, "It seems that you yourself also understand that if Lord Wargod does not choose a successor, I am afraid that he will not make a move until he dies." ”

"Sober is a genius in the world, and he can use his troops like a god," Russell looked into the distance, the smile on his face disappeared, "Even His Excellency the God of War is not sure of victory." The duel between him and Sauber is bound to be a dangerous game, both sides will have fatal flaws in some places, and they will also rack their brains to deceive their opponents, and even make dangerous moves. ”

"Therefore, when the body does not know how long it will last, Field Marshal Hastings will never make a move. Both he and Sober are geniuses and arch-enemies. He knew that Sober wanted to defeat him, and that this obsession was the only flaw he could grasp. However, he just kept dragging it out! ”

"Sauber's obsession ......," the fat man muttered.

"Sober must have known this himself," Russell sighed deeply, "and so, he endured it." Only in terms of the grand strategy of the military god's shot, I occasionally touch my hand. Never personally lead the army to take the initiative. ”

Russell's gaze, with the curling green smoke in his hand, rose to the night sky: "He has been firmly remembering the battle thirty years ago, the defeat of the Sauber family. He knew that if he wanted to beat an opponent of Hastings' level, he had to beat himself. And take the initiative to find the door, psychologically fall behind the inferior in a hurry. This in itself is a failure. ”

"So, the old guy just hangs on him? Even if you know that if it drags on like this, it is actually beneficial to the Western Covenant? Then, while taking advantage of the young, Sober was actually very depressed, and he wanted to kill the old man with a stick? The fat man felt a little crazy, "Are these two guys fighting a war or falling in love?" ”

Russell laughed. After a long time, he looked into the distance and sighed: "In the eyes of ordinary people, His Excellency Hastings may be stupid in what he did. But who understands how much effort it takes to fight a decisive battle? ”

"If the Filipino League itself is scattered, if Hastings dies before the end of the battle and no one can replace him and lead Feiyang to fight, do you know what the consequences will be?"

"The defeat is like a mountain," the fat man said, pouting on his cigarette, "the Filipino Alliance will collapse faster than it does now." ”

"Yes!" Russell turned and leaned against the railing and sneered, "As for Sober, if Hastings sends him the time that is most advantageous to him, and he does not take advantage of it, but tries to defeat his opponent head-on, and makes a compromise, then he is not even a qualified commander." How can you hope to defeat Hastings? ”

"As long as he makes this mistake," the fat man sighed, "the old fellow can make him make countless more mistakes." ”

He threw away the cigarette butt and turned his head to look at Russell: "So, these two guys who have been talking to each other for a long time have decided to go to war because of me, a third party?" ”

Russell nodded, "I chose the Southeast Star Domain because this is your home field." It has nothing to do with Lord Hastings' selfish intentions. If you were a Feryan, he would have chosen the battlefield in the Karlston Galaxy, and even led Sober into the country of Feryan. ”

"I understand that." The fat man said. He scratched his head, "But the question is, with so many famous generals, why did the old guy choose me?" ”

"Remember what you said about the two of them like they were in love?" Russell looked at the fat man.

The fat man nodded in confusion.

"You always have a way of simplifying and vulgarizing the most esoteric things." Russell laughed, "This is a perspective from the lesser citizen class, which is different from the two of them. Coupled with your military talent, your bandit army and your unconventional thinking, this is the reason why the military god chose you. ”

At last. Russell put on the coat in Hamid's hand and said to the fat man: "Take the whole territory of Lelei, arrange the defense and buy time, I will complete it, and this is the only thing I can help you." ”

He turned around and walked towards the stairs: "The rest of the journey will require you to lead the way." Admiral Tana. ”

On the silent roof, the fat man was alone, with a confused face.

In the distance, thousands of fireworks gradually burst into the sky, gorgeous and charming.
