The Europa Beer Hall was built in the early years of the federal capital to Poplar Star, covering an area of 4.32 hectares, which can accommodate up to 60,000 guests at the same time.

The name Europa commemorates the origin of the Commonwealth and is synonymous with Europe during the Earth Age. In ancient Greek mythology, Demeter was the goddess of agriculture, who blessed the world with abundant crops and prosperity. In portraits of this goddess, she is always depicted sitting on the back of a bull. In ancient times, the bull was an indispensable farming animal for human beings, and since the goddess was in charge of farming, she naturally had to sit on the back of the bull. The goddess's other name is Europa, and people worship Europa as the name of the continent out of respect for the goddess.

Although the Federation has entered the era of interstellar colonization, and the blue planet has already become a purgatory after the expansion of the sun's red giant, people still hope that this goddess named Europa can continue to bless the Federation to reclaim a rich fertile soil like a bull in this strange starry sky, grow golden wheat, and let the Federation continue to prosper with rum made from wheat.

Now the earliest hopes of the Federation have been realized, and even far beyond the fantasy at that time, to become the overlord of a domain in the starry sky, but they have long forgotten that blue homeland, and can only mention a few words in history textbooks, or find some traces in museums.

The Europa Beer House is often used for various state banquets, and is only privately operated on weekdays, although its profit is high, its contribution to the market value of the Qian family industry is not much, but its ability to attract contacts is beyond the reach of many private entertainment industries.

Because of the chewing head of the state banquet and its veritable high-end service enjoyment, many high-ranking officials and nobles in the upper echelons of the federation will choose to talk freely here, and some businessmen who are quite petty bourgeoisie will also sign various commodity orders and cooperation intentions here, and want to meet some nobles by luck and get some latest consultations. Look for potential business opportunities within the Federation.

Walking into this clubhouse, looking at the statue of the goddess Europa riding on a golden bull in the wheat field in the distance, and feeling the taste of history contained in the surroundings, even Shi Chen, who was preoccupied, couldn't help but feel a little uncontrollable trance.

In the center of the capital like Rensa, where every inch of land is at a premium, there is such a large banquet hall hidden, and history is seen when you look up, power is breathed in the air, and money is pecked with a drink.

The furnishings inside are classical and luxurious, but they do not lose their artistic beauty, and they are full of a splendid taste. Although it is full of fireworks, it has already climbed to the extreme in terms of the sense of nobility and atmosphere.

Only a family that has been inherited for thousands of years can show such great courage and smash such a large industry in the entire development place of Poplar, and survive the test of history to preserve it until now.

Follow the classically elegant hostess all the way inside, stepping on the old-fashioned seamless wool carpet. Feeling the softness and comfort under his feet, Shi Chen took a glass of champagne from the messenger's hand, and squinted at the people who were happy to talk about something.

Most of the people he hadn't seen before, but the people who were in the center of the crowd. Shi Chen often sees them in the news of the Federal Central Committee, including members of the House of Lords, high-ranking officials in power, and generals who rebuke Fang Xuan.

There are a lot of guests invited here today. Among them, especially the officers who came from the previous line were the most, but more soldiers who could not change positions were still guarding the Canglan front line that had temporarily fallen silent.

People were immersed in the elaborate banquet. He can always use his most sophisticated experience and way of doing things to find his own place in strange or familiar circles, and then revel in the drunkenness brought by alcohol and the hypocritical compliments of each other.

However, I am afraid that the vast majority of people are probably unaware of the truth hidden behind this banquet and the upheaval brewing within the Federation.

The feeling that everyone was drunk and I woke up alone was not so pleasant, and before rushing into the theme, Shi Chen was also looking for his own position.

In this kind of banquet that gathers most of the dignitaries and nobles of the whole Federation, a child like him who has not yet been publicly recognized by the Shi family, even if he has the title of a combat hero, in the eyes of the vast majority of the upper echelons, he is still just a powerful big-headed soldier.

So after handing over the invitation, Shi Chen didn't get any special treatment, and walked alone towards a place with a familiar face.

Perhaps, it is the only place in this dinner party that has not been completely infected by power and money, and it is a place where youth and blood are gathered.

Before Shi Chen walked in, Ma Yuming, who was two heads taller than others, waved towards Shi Chen excitedly, "It's coming, it's coming!" Our big hero is coming! ”

Although most of the students in Yuechi are from the middle and upper classes of the Federation, they have never participated in such a grand banquet, not to mention that they themselves are one of the protagonists, so they can't help but be promiscuous.

Seeing Shi Chen coming, there was a burst of cheers and nonsense, and some people whistled regardless of the occasion, attracting a lot of side eyes from the surroundings.

However, a group of eighteen or nineteen-year-old young people are not afraid of the powerful, not to mention the good comrades-in-arms who have been on the battlefield together, carried guns together, and even drifted past prostitutes together after returning to the capital star circle.

No matter how the wind came from all sides, I stood still and made noise in my own small circle alone.

Staying in the noise of his peers, Shi Chen finally got used to it, but he still couldn't immerse himself in this banquet.

At the moment of the event, looking at the smiling faces that were either excited or flamboyant, Shi Chen did not have the slightest emotion of excitement or excitement, just quietly squeezed out a smile and spent this most embarrassing time with his former classmates and comrades.

Because he knows a lot about the Tao, in his eyes, this feast is just a bloody feast of silver knives after the union bigwigs make peace or betrayal, full of rotten and filthy stench.

At this moment, the victory banquet suddenly became quiet, and the strings of the cello were gently plucked by the luthier to hum, reminding everyone in the room that an important person was about to speak.

People are aware of this.

The lights dimmed, and a silvery-white beam of light hit the second floor, like a full moon visible from the transparent dome at this time.

In the beam, Prime Minister Cameron stood in front of the microphone. Looking at everyone gently, he said, "This may be the last speech of my tenure, but I am still honored to stand here and speak in this capacity." ”

"The front-line war has just ended, and the federation has been singing and dancing, this is a beautiful era, and it is also an era that can create happiness, but all this beauty and happiness are all exchanged for the blood and sweat and even the lives of the front-line soldiers."

"There is such a man who has guarded us on the frontier for thirty-four years in obscurity, created the peace of the Federation for thirty-four years, and now he has brought the most glorious victory since the Silver Cross War to the Federation, with this victory. The empire will not be able to fight again for a few years! And he was finally able to take a moment out of the swamp of war and come to our capital star circle.

Now, I would like to invite this old man, who has devoted half his life to the stability of the Federation, our god of a hundred battles, Suye Hongtu, to speak for us. ”

Applause rang out.

In this warm applause, an old man with silver hair walked into the limelight.

"Actually, I've been to the Capital Circle." Suyehongtu smiled at the people downstairs, and the old voice began to echo in the historic beer hall. "It's just that when I woke up, I was still on the battlefield."

The crowd below burst into a knowing laugh because of the old man's cold humor.

Only Shi Chen was expressionless, staring at the old man deadly.

This was the first time Shi Chen faced this old man who had a deep blood feud with him, and he didn't seem to hear the laughter around him. When I think of the vague smiles of my parents in my mind, I think of the bloodshed of the University of Yuechi, I think of the floating corpses in the Ruhr River, and I think of the tragedy in Lensar Square. There seemed to be a surge of hot blood in his chest, giving him the urge to go up and kill the other party directly.

But reason tells him if he really puts the impulse into action at this time. It's just a wrath, and the blood is splashed in five steps, which will not only destroy the original plan, but also die worthless.

There will only be such a record in future history, in the spring of the 34th year of the Federal Silver Tenth Constitutional Calendar, at the banquet of the Europa Beer Hall, Shi Chen attempted to assassinate a generation of military gods Su Ye Hongtu and died at the age of eighteen.

With his current strength, if he didn't rely on other help, even if there were no extra obstacles, he wouldn't be able to kill this old man.

Because he is the former prince of the Empire, the commander of the Imperial Guard, the grandfather of Suje Cangna, and the first person under the stars besides the dead former emperor Sujesis.

Even if he can kill him, Shi Chen can't ignore the overall situation, if he is completely unprepared, the Blackstone Military Region on the front line will counterattack the Federation, it will be a great disaster, I don't know how many people will die.

Taking a few deep breaths, Shi Chen finally pressed down the killing intent and many distracting thoughts, telling himself that now was not the time, and one day, he would personally slash this hypocritical traitor.

"I was finally able to get my wish today, and I was full of emotion in my heart, especially when I saw these young boys, I thought of the eventful years of the year."

Su Yehongtu ended his opening remarks, smiled, and said with a serious face:

"Although the Federation has won an unprecedented victory, it is only a temporary victory, the national capital of the empire is still there, maybe in a few years, when they integrate their strength, they will make a comeback."

"The threat to the Empire is imminent, the Federation needs unity, and as a veteran, I must earnestly ask everyone to rally around the Federation."

In people's impressions, this military god has always been unsmiling, but at this moment, it is found that this old man is not much different from those kind elders in the family, and he can also be humorous, but the speech after the humor is equally sincere and sincere.

"I used to be an Imperial, but after joining the Federation, I can still only be a Blackstone, so I have deeply realized that there is a barrier between Blackstone and the Federation that is difficult to integrate after all."

"This question has made me ponder for a long time, in the current situation, is it more important for the interests of the nation to be important, or is it more important for the federation to unite and stabilize against the aggression of the empire?"

"In order to solve this problem, I came here and brought the "Blackstone Twenty-Four Articles" agreement, I hope to be able to completely eliminate the national barrier between the Federation and Blackstone Time under the run-in of time, which is my lifelong dream."

"I dream that one day, the kingdom of the Union will stand up completely and truly fulfill the word that once existed, and that all men are created equal."

"I dream of a day when the Federals and the Blackstone people will be able to sit together in this Europa beer hall and share the brotherhood they do today."

"I dream of the day when we will be able to work together on the battlefield against the oppression of the Empire, without having to watch out for each other."

"Today, I have a dream. I dream of a day when the Federation will be transformed, and one day our children will be able to work together as one flesh and blood. ”

"Today, I have a dream. I dream of a day when the valley rises and the mountain falls; The bumpy and tortuous road becomes a smooth road, and the holy light is revealed, shining on the world. ”

The sincere applause rang out, and many people began to involuntarily look forward to the dream world without barriers and prejudices in Su Yehongtu's description, and even many sentimental female guests were moved to tears because of these words, and they couldn't cry.

Even the Yuechi students around them, who were originally suspicious of Suye Hongtu because of the Ruhr River incident, couldn't help but be a little at a loss, could it be that the incident was just an accident?

For a while, the applause lasted for a long time, and the atmosphere in the Europa beer hall reached a high level.

Syllable! A crisp sound sounded.

I saw a glass wine glass smashed on the railing of Su Ye Hongtu's speech on the second floor, and a few drops of wine splashed on Su Ye Hongtu's clothes and face.

"It's all fart! It just stinks! ”

For a moment, the entire Europa beer hall fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone looked in disbelief at the young man in military uniform who was throwing a wine glass in the crowd.

Still a captain?

Many people recognized that this was not Shi Chen, the battle hero promoted by the Federation last time?

But what is he doing now?

Even the Yuechi students who were familiar with Shi Chen were a little confused.

Could this be a drunken madness?

How dare he do that? How could he do that?

I don't know how long it took, but a senior general was the first to react and scolded loudly: "Come on, take this madman out of Lu!" ”

Immediately, two officers stepped forward to escort Shi Chen.

Shi Chen stared at Su Yehongtu on the second floor like this.

However, just as Shi Chen was about to be dragged out, Su Yehongtu raised his hand.

"Slow!"

Su Yehongtu looked at the young officer in front of him, confirming that he had not met, but for some reason he had an inexplicable feeling, so he asked, "This little friend, but you have any doubts about what I said before?" ”

Hearing this, Shi Chen suddenly laughed, "You keep saying that you want to resolve the gap between the Federation and Black Stone, full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but back then, my parents turned into a firework in the starry sky because of one of your orders, how can you make me believe your words?" ”

Shi Chen kept his surface calm as much as possible, but his slightly hoarse voice revealed a few traces of his true emotions.

Su Yehongtu's eyes shrank.

The feast of the Europa Beer Hall can be heard by falling pins.
