After dinner, Spock canceled his planned immediate entry into the Earth's atmosphere, and instead ordered his subordinates to set up minefields in the Earth's surrounding universe to prevent the Hatu from escaping, and then entrusted the rest of the work to the chief of staff, Colonel Gand, and returned to his bedroom.

It didn't take long for Natasha to ring the doorbell.

Letting her into the room, Spock watched left and right before closing the door. Passing Natasha a drink and pouring herself a drink, Spock buried himself in the couch and said, "What do you want to talk about, Major?" ”

"Your Excellency, I am well aware of your past, your father, Lord Houpu, was an excellent activist, and it was his travels that allowed humanity to gain a place in the Galactic Federation and a planet to live on; Your grandmother, Shen, was one of the founding fathers who led humanity out of the solar system; You yourself are a two-time Hudson Medal of Courage warrior. You come from a standard family of heroes, but every human has a responsibility to revive humanity and defeat the Hattu. When I was very young, my siblings and I were told by our parents that we must defeat the Hatu and take back Earth! So there is no difference between me and Your Excellency on this point. ”

Spock laughed, but anyone could tell that there was no hint of a smile in his laughter, it was just a disguised roar.

"Major, do you know how the Order of Tamm, the highest honor before the Hudson Medal of Courage, the highest honor awarded by our human society, came about?"

"I don't really know about that, after all, it's something I was born for a long time before I was born. As far as I know, the name of this medal seems to have been given to the pioneer leader Hudson, right? ”

"That's right, this Tam is a friend of my grandmother and a friend of my grandfather. My grandmother was able to become one of the Fathers on her own, but one of the more important reasons was that she put the information that Tamu had collected about the Hatu in the hands of Lieutenant Hade, so that humanity could safely lurk underground and successfully build a spaceship to escape the solar system. It was only in honor of his exploits that Lieutenant Hudson decided to name the medal after him. ”

"There's another story in this?"

Spock nodded, and immediately told the story between his grandfather Rick, his grandmother Shen Xiaoxi, and Tam (see the prequel of this book for details). Natasha listened quietly, and the difficulty and bizarre of it obviously completely shocked her. It wasn't until Spock finished speaking that Natasha said in amazement: "There is such a past in this, I just say that every human who escapes has a tragic story." But if I hadn't heard this story with my own ears, I couldn't have believed it. ”

Spock took a sip of his wine and said, "Even Lieutenant Hudson didn't know all about this, only my father and I heard my grandmother tell about it, and the rest of the family didn't know about it. That's why my father was so persistent in working for humanity. The men of our family are burdened with the great wish of their grandmother to kill all the Hatu people. ”

"Then let me ask a question. As it stands, the extinction of the Hatu is just around the corner. What are your plans after fulfilling your vows to your grandmother? ”

Spock blinked, stayed for a moment, and said, "I really haven't thought about this, after all, I've always been striving for this goal." If this vow is realized, then I will probably retire. Although I don't know anything but fighting, I don't like war so I joined the military. If possible, I also want to live a normal, peaceful life. After all, there are only 7 million human beings now, and it will take a long, long time to revive it, so there should be a lot of things that can be done. ”

Natasha let out a long breath and said, "Your Excellency, can you give me a glass of wine?" ”

"No problem." Spock then found a glass and filled her with a glass of wine.

Natasha took the wine and drank it down. This was somewhat unexpected, as Natasha was known to be a non-drinker.

"Your Excellency, the next words were uttered by me when I was drunk, and I did not know about them. In fact, the Admiral's bitter hatred for the Hatu Star people has been noticed by the highest authorities of the Galactic Alliance. In particular, although your performance in the Battle of Bihongxing was not flawed, it still lacked the demeanor that you should have in the past combat command. So they transferred me to your subordinate as an adjutant, and one of the purposes was for me to spy on your every move and look for clues in your daily life. I think there's something unusual about your actions, but I can't find clear evidence of that. However, based on what you just said, I think you did have a reason to deliberately lose the battle of Bihon. If this is known to the highest authorities, they will surely remove you from your post as commander and bring you before a military court. ”

Spock stared at her until she finished speaking, and then she spoke, "What is the purpose of telling me all this?" ”

"What's even stranger about your subordinates is why your Excellency will tell me the truth?"

"Because you're a human being too. I also noticed that you were acting a little unusually today, so I decided to take a gamble. So you should tell me if I won the bet? ”

Natasha's face flushed, apparently the alcohol had begun to take effect, and she smiled and said, "If you are going to retire and work peacefully after this battle, I personally don't think there is any need to send a meritorious lieutenant general to a court-martial." If you can assure me of your commitment. ”

"I have only one question. Your report of this result is very helpful for your promotion, why should you give up this opportunity to make meritorious contributions? ”

Natasha's body visibly swayed a little, and her smile seemed a little stiff: "First of all, as a human being, I also have a bitter hatred for the Hatus, and I am on the same side as you on this point; Secondly, I think that the Galactic Federation has also sent spies to spy on me, and they are still wary of this hatred of humanity; Again, the story you just told me touched me, and I feel that your revenge is not without bitterness; Finally ??????"

Speaking of this, Natasha's body suddenly lost its center of gravity, fell into the sofa, and fell asleep.
