Chapter 31: Self-inflicted humiliation
Following the proprietress son, into the narrow and cluttered beer street, Mido carefully dodged the pedestrians beside her.
Beer Street is perhaps the liveliest place in the 106 space station.
Almost all the crews of ships docked at the space station will gather here. And smugglers, interstellar traders, interlopers, explorers, swindlers, gamblers, thieves, and pathfinders who sell their intelligence spend their days soaking here.
The beer halls on both sides of the street were already overcrowded, and tables were set up in the middle of the 30-meter-wide street, revealing only a two-meter-wide passage in the middle.
Pushing away a short man who was slamming into his chest by crowding, Miduo was already flushed. Beside her, a woman who was almost naked was sitting on the legs of a big man with his pants down to the crook of his feet, up and down, and when she looked at Meiduo, she actually raised her eyebrows with a defiant face.
Meiduo turned her head in a panic, only to find that on the other side, many drinking men swept their eyes unscrupulously. There were also a few scantily clad women, sneering at themselves.
Mido bit her lip and followed firmly behind the proprietress son. Such a scene, the moment she stepped on the spaceship that left Lelei, she was already mentally prepared. In the mainstream of human society, the description of the free world is exactly the same as the scene now.
It's a dirty world, and if you want to find the fat man, you have to walk through this world!
The proprietress walked to a bar called the Red Leprechaun and led Mido through the crowded and noisy hall to sit down at a small square table in the corner.
"I want a beer," the proprietress said to the hostess while looking at Meiduo: "What do you drink, wine or drink?" β
"Drink bar" Meiduo knew that even if she didn't drink it when she entered the tavern, she had to order something, which was reminded by the proprietress that there was no place for her to sit down without spending a penny. She added in a whisper: "The cheapest"
"Let's have a glass as clear as water," the proprietress son's son reported a name that made Meiduo sound more satisfied. Then he said, "You sit here for a moment." I'm going to look for somebody, and see if anyone knows the ship to go back to Mars, those intelligence dealers, who always know a lot of information, and when I find it, bring him here, and you have to pay for the intelligence fee, which is worth eight hundred or a thousand dollars at most. β
"Thank you." Mei Duo smiled at the enthusiastic man.
The smile that was gentle to the bone made the man's face similar to that of the boss lady. Slightly distracted.
When the bartender reappeared at the small table, the man disappeared into the crowd of bars with a beer.
Meiduo looked at the "drink" in front of her and told the truth. She couldn't see any difference between this thing and pure water. However, after only drinking a glass of water a day, she is trying her best to control herself. Although I need to pay for this thing, in this chaotic world, it is better not to drink it.
The bar is surrounded by steel walls like a ship's cabin. Several old speakers embedded in it are playing intense music as hard as they can. On the dance floor in the center, people are dancing in space, which is not the dance steps of the ancient earth that imitate weightlessness, this is a multi-person dance that is popular among humans in interstellar travel. The enthusiastic and unrestrained individual dance steps and the fixed neat dance steps in the dance music allow the dancers to constantly switch between individual and collective, neat and chaotic. Restraint and indulgence, with an extremely strong contagion, is up to royal gatherings. Go down to the street tavern and dance indispensably.
Maybe it's because of the safety of no one in the corner, maybe it's because of the dance, or maybe it's because she feels that she is getting closer and closer to the fat man, and Meiduo's mood is much better than before. She secretly beat to the rhythm, and even licked the glass that looked like clear water, but actually had a particularly refreshing flavor. Then he rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue.
However, as the dance music played. With the dancing of fewer and fewer people. Mei Duo didn't see the proprietress 's youngest son come back.
When he was anxious, a middle-aged man in a leather jacket and a beautiful woman in a white shirt and jeans. Surrounded by several big men, he walked in front of Meiduo.
"Your name is Mito?" The woman's fair fingers ran over Mido's cheeks.
"You" Mido, who was a little at a loss, turned her face away and dodged the woman's fingers.
"You've been sold to us." The woman chuckled, with a kind of smoky and bewitching: "Come with me." β
"You're mistaken" Mido stood up suddenly, her leg hurting on the edge of the table in a panic, and the drink in her cup spilled: "I'm here to find a ship to Freeport Mars"
"What a pity" The woman shook her head with a smile, pointed to the drinks flowing on the table, and said with a smile: "You should drink this cup as clear as water, it is your worth, I just paid for you, 100,000 Fei Yuan." β
Cheng Zhixuan handed over the list, full of the names of the core members of the major schools of the bandit army, especially the leaders of the major schools of war, and they are not left behind.
It is no secret to Mars that there are people in which genre, and what level they are. Don't be too troublesome, just ask the Tailiu and Lore Stream who have taken refuge in the Longxing Club, and you can get a detailed information.
The staff officer standing behind the fat man was stunned when he saw this list. Looking at Cheng Zhixuan again, it is as evil as swallowing a fly
The staff officer is a Leray man, who is exiled to the free world with the Brown Rose and the fat man. During this period of time, this army suffered so much that others could not imagine. It was almost in despair, struggling little by little on my own to get to where I was now. If not fat. This bandit army simply cannot exist.
But now, with an order from the Filipino League, it wants to assign the most elite part of the bandit army to the headquarters of the Southeast Front Army as a direct force, what is the difference between this and Ming robbery?
Where were they when Leray fell, and where were they when the Berblue Rose was in the free world? Now they say that everyone is under the command of the Filipino League, but the fat man pulled up the bandit army in Puluo Town. When facing countless enemies, how could Longxing not even say a word, and at that time they didn't know the identity of the fat man?!
in the room. There was a dead silence.
Su Kezhou sat quietly with a teacup in his hand, preoccupied. To be honest, he didn't approve of reaching out to pick peaches at this time.
In the current southeast theater, there is a famous general Mikami Yuto in the west. The three empires of Seuss, Jeppen and Desik not only occupy the Salega Longbow Field, the Chaknaresk System, and the Leray Bermuda System. The Lelei passage was also opened. Judging from the overall situation, Fiji Alliance is already at an absolute disadvantage.
The command of the Filipino League, after the Republic of Fiyan launched a full-scale offensive against the Binart Empire, the operational guidance of the southeastern theater of operations was mainly to contain with the cooperation of the Republic of Chakna. It is necessary to keep the forces of the three major empires of the West firmly in check, and prevent them from reinforcing Binarte through the Lelei Passage.
And is currently in charge of the entire southeastern theater of the Fiji League. It's Fisichella.
The armies of Leray, Gacharin, Knavil, Puditok and Tatania were all under the command of the command of the South-East Coalition under the leadership of Fisichella. Together with the independent Chakna Republic Army, a joint operational posture was formed in the Eastern Theater and the Southeastern Theater.
Hastings knew that the Chuckners would not follow Fisichella's commands. Therefore, in the Fijian coalition army, he divided the Chackner independence into a part, which was directly coordinated by him.
The Longxing Society, led by the Chakner Military Department, naturally still belongs to Chakner, and the bandit army led by the fat man is regarded as a part of the Lelei Army and is under the command of Fisichella. Cheng Zhixuan, on the other hand, is one of the coordinators stationed by the Chackner Military Department and the Southeast Coalition Army Command. After the transfer to the Southeast Command. Cheng Zhixuan got in touch with Fisichella at the first time. The two almost hit it off.
As a result of the defection of the Le Reblodi regime to the Western Covenant, Le RΓ©'s position within the Filipino League has deteriorated.
Although Le RΓ© Atlantis was still resisting, Vice President Flavio, who visited Chakner, was temporarily inaugurated as president in accordance with the law, forming a government in exile, and at the same time appointing Bernadotte as deputy commander-in-chief of the Supreme Command to lead Le RΓ© to continue the resistance. It can be said that the gesture is sufficient. However, this does not change the position of a small country that has been fought to the end of its rope in this war, and there is hardly any need to consult Le Ray for what decisions the Filipino coalition forces make now.
After Cheng Zhixuan proposed to split the bandit army led by Tian Xingjian and assign the elite of them to the newly established Mars Front Command to be directly under his command, Fisichella immediately expressed his support and issued an order.
Cheng Zhixuan wanted to dig out these civilian fighters with strong combat power from the hands of the fat man, while Fisichella didn't believe in any Lelei people at all, let alone the fat man. In his opinion, the more power the fat man has, the more difficult it will be for him to command, and maybe one day, the fat man will be in the same league as those fellows of their country who have taken refuge in the Western Covenant.
Moreover, according to Hastings's guidance on the free passage of Mars, in order to avoid threatening the main shipping lane, this area must be controlled by the Filipino League. Of course, the Filipino Alliance here does not include the Lelei Federation, which now can't tell whether it belongs to the Western Covenant or the Fijian League!
This world always speaks with strength. Therefore, this order was given very simply, without even informing Le Ray's current high command. There's no need, and I'm too lazy to know that it will.
In Cheng Zhixuan and Fisichella's view, as soon as the order is issued, the fat man must also execute it, and if it is not executed, it must be executed, and there is no room for bargaining. If he dared to disobey military orders, they would dare to take him to court-martial.
However, Su Kezhou didn't think so.
Sure enough, I only heard the fat man cough, spit on the paper with the order printed, and showed a satisfied look on his face, and casually made the order group into a ball. Thrown into the trash. He also nagged in his mouth: "What bullshit is childish!" β
"You!" Cheng Zhixuan stood up with a "whoosh", shocked and angry, his face turned red, and he pointed at the fat man: "You are disobeying military orders!" β
"Is there a place where you talk to the chief like that?" The fat man's face sank suddenly, his face was terrifyingly cold, and he said sharply: "Sit down for me!" β
He shouted loudly, and he was free to kill for the rest of his life. Cheng Zhixuan and Su Kezhou were at the same time.
The word chief made Cheng Zhixuan suddenly remember that this fat man had been promoted to major general. He belongs to the same Southeast Command as himself, and he is two levels higher than himself, and he is now speculating and selling fresh and hot. Reprimanding oneself is a matter of course. For a while, his face was blue and white, and he was ashamed and angry.
Sit down, look at the sarcastic eyes of the staff officer behind the fat man, I really can't afford to lose this face, don't sit down. That fat man has a way to concoct himself. If you tell yourself to get out, you have to get out, and if you can't get it right, and then you will be locked up for a few days because you disobey the order of the commander, and then you will be embarrassed.
Seeing the fat man's cold eyes and lips moving again, Cheng Zhixuan felt aggrieved. But he couldn't help but sit down.
"You pig brains?"
The freshly baked fat major general was like training his son, his chubby fingers pointed at Cheng Zhixuan's head, and the spit star sprayed him in the face: "Fisichella is naΓ―ve." Are you brain-dead too? What about the two of you singing on stage and pretending to be stupid? Why don't you ask Siyo Sober to give you a few divisions to command? Is the Mutual Aid Alliance of the Mars Sect under the control of our Filipino Alliance? The bandit army is someone else's army! β
"Phew!" The fat man spat on the ground in front of Cheng Zhixuan: "To put it nicely, you are a Taoist monk in the cave room scolding his mother-in-law-you can only watch from the side, saliva is in your pocket, and you can't stand to jerk off." It's not nice to say, it's a dog meddling with a mouse! Think of yourself as God. It's all up to you. Whoever you want, come? Even if it's a girl in a brothel, you have to see your own color first. Do you think that someone will prostitute you if you just throw a flattering eye? Flatter yourself! If you're not a few dozen years old, you always have a few dozen pounds, right? Bai has grown this body of flesh, and he has lived to be a dog! "Now I'm the only one in charge of the Southeast Command, and I'm still waiting for reinforcements! I've been working with the Genre Mutual Aid Alliance for so long, and I don't expect to pick up rice in other people's bowls, you guys are like vicious dogs pounced on food" Seeing Cheng Zhixuan's shortness of breath and the green tendons on his forehead, the fat man waved his hand impatiently, blocking Cheng Zhixuan's words back into his throat: "There are no rules!" When you arrive at our southeast headquarters, you have to learn to be smart, when will it be your turn to disobey the military order or not-what's wrong with giving you face? Hurry up and get out, if you're in a good mood today, I won't lock you up! Hum half a word in front of Lao Tzu again, you see how Lao Tzu cleans you up! β
There was a dead silence in the office, and everyone was stunned by the fat man who suddenly turned his face.
Cheng Zhixuan was of course staring at the fat man, his eyes were red. Su Kezhou's brain was also blank. He has seen a lot of all kinds of people, and he has never seen such a guy who turns his face when he says it, unscrupulous and unreasonable. doesn't care about any identity and temperament, and doesn't give it at all.
What is it that to play that game in front of such a person, isn't it self-inflicted?
Looking at Cheng Zhixuan's shocked and angry expression, the staff officer behind the fat man was even cooler than eating ice cream in June.
Deserve!
I want to snatch something in the hands of our chief, and I've blinded you!
Just now, the chief was still thinking of calculating you like this, but you have calculated on our heads. When you enter the warehouse, you bring a broomstick to the bandit army, and you can take advantage of it?
I haven't heard of the saying that is now circulating in Freeport - after the bandits, there is no grass!
"Why are you staring at me, showing that your eyes are big?" The fat man held the tea in the palm of his hand, and raised his eyebrows at Cheng Zhixuan: "Salute!" Do you still need to be taught this rule? What's wrong with waiting for Lao Tzu to invite you to dinner? β
After a long time, Cheng Zhixuan finally saluted, turned around, and walked towards the door.
Although he couldn't wait to pounce on it like this and tear the fat man's poisonous mouth apart!
Although at that moment, a thousand crazy thoughts flashed through his mind.
Still, he controlled himself. He knew that if he dared to make any moves, this fat man would not give himself any chance at all!
Scold back quickly, not to mention that the fat man has become one of the generals of the Filipino League, don't scold him if he is humble, even if he is open, he can't scold him. Rush up and fight hard, it's even more impossible, this is a bandit base, as long as you dare to move, the fat man will dare to shoot himself, and then put himself on the charge of attacking the commander.
What he did, this kind of guy who turns his face when he says he turns his face, what can't he do?!
Get out of here!
He will repay the shame he has received today tenfold in the future!
Cheng Zhixuan walked out of the door stiffly, and behind him, a word floated around the fat man and asked Su Kezhou strangely: "I didn't hear it clearly just now, who is this idiot?" "Since you've offended, you might as well be ruthless. This is the creed of the fat man. One whip is pumped, two whips are also drawn, and the wax rope is on together, and it kills!
With a wry smile, Su Kezhou stood up, opened his mouth, and finally didn't say anything. Cheng Zhixuan did humiliate himself this time. The fat man is a matter of the commander reprimanding his subordinates, the southeast command. Even though Cheng Zhixuan was still the chief of staff of the Longxing Association a few days ago, he is now a person from the Southeast Command after all. Chakna Longxing's relationship with them is nothing more than a friendly army, what can be said?
"Leaving?" The fat man was very enthusiastic, and there was no embarrassment on his face: "Lao Su, look at this ground, it makes you laugh, I hate iron and steel, you want a mecha, and then I will let someone send it to you." By the way, I heard that Admiral Bernadotte, have a message to me? β
"It's not a specific message, you can see for yourself." Su Kezhou handed an encrypted electronic document to the fat man, said goodbye and left.
"General!" The staff officer said in confusion: "Are we really going to give them the mecha?" That's it."
"Short-sighted! This war cannot be won by ourselves! The fat man seriously criticized: "We are all in the same boat, and we cannot be stingy with anything that can enhance the combat effectiveness of the alliance!" β
"Oh!" The staff officer looked at the fat man adoringly and nodded vigorously!
"Go back and ask the logistics department to make the Ranger's shell against my photo a little more beautiful. Strive to achieve the effect of surrendering without a fight! The fat man patted the staff officer's shoulder casually and walked towards the door: "The things inside, everything that can be dismantled has been dismantled." The structure of the private mecha is ready. β
"Hmm!" The staff officer nodded heavily, looking at the fat man's gaze, and became more and more adoring.
"When they beg us to Leray, wait!"
