Chapter 108: Glory to the Ancestors
Although Lin Liexun kept telling Yang Yi to keep a low profile, when he got down from the "Shadow" and saw the battle outside, Yang Yi was completely speechless. The people who came to greet him formed a long line, led by the local administrator and the commander of the garrison of the Bone Star. Although he has been away from the Bone Burial Star for nearly half a year, Yang Yi will not forget the two faces that used to be high on TV, but now they are full of small faces.
"Commander Yang!"
"Captain Lin!"
When the two of them came up, Lin Feng also had a bitter face. Like Yang Yi, she was not only speechless, but also secretly cursed Lin Liexun.
Obviously, this is an arrangement made by Lin Liexun.
The question is, is this necessary?
Although he was very unhappy in his heart, Lin Feng still walked forward with a smile. Yang Yi had no choice but to think about the benefits except to sigh secretly.
A social meeting is naturally unavoidable.
In fact, this also proves the status of the military in the human federation in disguise.
Although in peacetime, the commander of the garrison was only a military governor and had no right to intervene in local affairs, when he stepped forward to greet Yang Yi and others, the commander of the garrison walked in front of the local governor, and his status was obviously half a level higher. Of course, the commander of the garrison may also have done it on purpose.
After greeting the cold, the local governor warmly invited Yang Yi and others to stay in the hotel that had already been arranged.
With the kindness of others, Yang Yi couldn't refuse. Besides, there are Jackson and others, so you can't take a large group of people home to visit relatives.
Next, Yang Yi opened his eyes.
Eighteen years of life, born and raised on the Bone Star, Yang Yi is still the first time to come to the capital of the Bone Star, in fact, it is the second time, the last time was before joining the army, came here to report, but did not stay, on the same day, under the warm farewell, he took the military's transport spaceship to the recruit training camp dozens of light years away.
Although the Bone Star has long since declined, the most luxurious seven-star hotel in the capital has left Yang Yi speechless.
It was another entertainment, and Yang Yi and the others settled down. After Lin Feng said that the journey was tiring and wanted to be quiet for a while, the commander of the garrison and the local governor said goodbye and left very interestingly, and also instructed the entourage that unless Yang Yi had an order, others were forbidden to disturb him.
"Look at you, I'll have to work out more in the future."
"It also takes exercise?" Yang Yi was speechless.
Lin Feng smiled faintly and said, "Although the war is imminent, it is still peacetime, and the military is not the star of all eyes. As long as war breaks out and all-out mobilization begins, the social status of military personnel will be greatly improved, and the heroes of the battlefield who have made outstanding contributions will be even more watched. At that time, in order to encourage the people to join the army and to stimulate the people's fighting spirit and morale, the military will arrange for meritorious soldiers to go to various places to give lectures. At the beginning of the Fifth Greenwich War, Generalissimo Xiao Wentian recruited a large number of soldiers in this way. By that time, such entertainment will definitely be dizzying. I believe in you, I am more optimistic about you, don't let me down. ”
Yang Yi rolled his eyes, knowing that Lin Feng was joking with him.
Lin Feng smiled and said, "However, Uncle Seventh has gone a little too far in making this arrangement. Before, we were told to keep a low profile, but now we can't keep a low profile. ”
"Maybe not." Jackson, who was sitting on the couch opposite, said.
Yang Yi and Lin Feng were slightly stunned and looked at Jackson.
"Even if we quietly leave Shennongxing, there are few people who know, but after the large force of the special reconnaissance team sets off with the Third Fleet, the news will spread. We came to the Bone Burial Star, and the Theater Command could claim that we had made great achievements in the Shennongxing counterinsurgency operation, and the Xiao Yang brothers were the first heroes, so as a reward for him, let him return to his hometown and go back to glory to his ancestors. ”
"Brother, what do you ...... say?"
"At that time, even if someone knows that we have left Shennong, they will think that we are on the Bone Burial Star and have not followed the large force of the special reconnaissance team."
"This ......"
"Obviously, we have to cooperate with Staff Officer Lin's arrangement."
"What to do?" Lin Feng asked directly.
"At first, I asked the magistrate. Originally, a party was arranged, but considering that we were tired from the journey, it was scheduled for tomorrow night. The magistrate didn't say it, probably because he was afraid that he would be rejected by you. I've made the decision for you, and I've agreed. ”
"Dude......"
"As long as we show our heads in public, those who stare at us will believe that we are here. In addition, I found a few old subordinates. They'll be here tomorrow after the party is over, so we can slip away then. ”
"Replacement?"
"Dress up like us and socialize with the local authorities."
Yang Yi was slightly stunned, then laughed, and gave Jackson a thumbs up.
"Must attend tomorrow's party?" Lin Feng asked. Obviously, she also hated these socializations very much, and was just making fun of Yang Yi at first.
"Impersonation is not a clever tactic, and to convince the stalkers, we have to show our hands. Tomorrow's evening party will be organized jointly by the local authorities and the garrison, and will be attended by many garrison officers. We didn't make any arrangements, but we could do something. As long as we show great strength and prove that we are not impostors, at least for the next few days, no one will suspect that we have left the Bone Burial Star. ”
Yang Yi nodded and said, "If you want to make trouble, you have to make arrangements, and don't mess up when the time comes." ”
"Don't worry, I'll arrange it myself to ensure that the performance is in place."
"Brother, it's up to you."
"Keep it on me."
Both of them laughed, but Lin Feng was speechless. Yang Yi was so simple in the past, and after being with Jackson for a long time, he has become inconsistent.
Of course, Yang Yi doesn't have to worry about Jackson's ability at all.
A moment later, Jackson quietly left with Buck and the others.
After Lin Feng hinted, Yang Yi followed her into the bedroom.
"Xiaofeng, I know you don't like socializing, but Jackson is right, we ......"
"I'm not against it, but when are you going to bring it back to your family?"
Yang Yi was slightly stunned, and then remembered that this time he came to the Bone Burial Star mainly to visit relatives. In fact, Yang Yi has only one living relative, that is, the grandfather who raised him to adulthood. As for his parents, Yang Yi had never seen them at all. Although according to what his grandfather said, his parents were still alive and had to leave him as a last resort, Yang Yi always felt that his grandfather was lying to him, and he just wanted him to feel better.
In any case, other children have parents, but Yang Yi is an orphan.
After cleaning up, the two quietly slipped out.
Yang Yi's hometown, the second most populous and most chaotic "Senqiu City" on the Bone Burial Star, is thousands of kilometers away. Although relying on the ability of the soldiers, the two of them can fly directly over, but the Bone Star has long been completely urbanized, and the so-called suburbs are just abandoned urban areas, and the flying in the sky is too eye-catching. Besides, the transportation of the Bone Star is very well developed, and there are fast railways from the capital to all major cities.
When they slipped out of the hotel, Yang Yi and Lin Feng pretended to be male and female thieves.
When he came to the train station, Yang Yi found that he didn't have a penny on him. Fortunately, Lin Feng had already prepared and brought enough federal currency.
While chatting, Yang Yi learned that his deposit had already reached seven figures.
In Yang Yi's view, this is a huge amount of money.
You must know that on the Bone Burial Star, an ordinary family's annual income is only 100,000 federal currency, and life is very tight, and it is almost impossible to save enough for 1 million. Besides, as long as there is enough savings, normal people will find ways to leave the Bone Star. Even if you can't go to the heavenly home system, you will try to go to a colonized planet with a better environment, and the cost of smuggling to your home system is only half a million. In addition, the Bone Burial Star is never peaceful, and if ordinary people are rich everywhere, they are undoubtedly asking for trouble. In Morigaoka, tens of thousands of people die every year in bloody cases caused by robberies, and the crime detection rate is not even 1 percent.
After buying the tickets, the two went to the waiting hall.
"Tell me about your family. Do you want to buy some gifts, it's the first time I've come to the door, and if I'm empty-handed, isn't it too unusual? ”
"Don't look back."
As soon as Yang Yi said this, Lin Feng resisted the urge to turn back.
"We're being targeted." Yang Yi sighed secretly and said, "The girl in the flower shirt in the third row in the back has been staring at us since you paid for the ticket. ”
"Thief?"
"I'm afraid it's not that simple."
"That ......"
"Do you know where the name 'Bone Star' came from? More than a thousand years ago, before the outbreak of the Fifth Greenwich War, it was not called that name. According to my grandfather, many refugees came here to take refuge at that time. Because the shipping routes were cut off and supplies were extremely scarce, they had to do anything to survive. For the sake of a moldy loaf of bread, not to mention stealing, it is not surprising that even if it is murder. There are many people who die in homicides, even the police have to eat, and most of the dead are refugees, and no one cares about their lives or deaths. In many places, there are burial grounds for unclaimed corpses. Later, as the tide of fighting improved, refugees rushed to flee. Probably because the experience was so horrific that it was impossible to look back on, so the refugees called it 'the place of bones', which later evolved into the 'Bone Star'. ”
Lin Feng looked at Yang Yi in a daze, feeling that Yang Yi was talking nonsense.
"Believe it or not, we're in trouble anyway."
"Are you still afraid of trouble?"
"Actually, it depends on what you think." Yang Yi smiled faintly and said, "Don't treat everyone else as a bad person, some so-called bad people are just to have a full meal." The Federation of Humans has jurisdiction over hundreds of galaxies, and there is only one home galaxy, and not all of them live in heaven. On the other hand, the home galaxy can become a paradise that people yearn for, relying on the resources plundered from the colonized planet. ”
Lin Feng was silent, she couldn't refute Yang Yi's opinion.
You must know that the home galaxy is the first settlement of humans in the Southern Alpha system, and it has the longest history, and the resources have long been exhausted. Over the past thousands of years, it has been the resources obtained from the colonized planets, or by the exploitation and exploitation of the colonized planets, that the home system has flourished.
