In the outer space of the planet Eder, the capital of the Poole Star Sector, a small fleet of six battle cruisers is quietly hovering. From time to time, between this fleet and the planet Eder, one or two points of light passed quickly, that is, transport and supply ships on the periphery of the fleet, and teams of ghost escort fighters, constantly patrolling back and forth. Under the quiet and deep background of space, there seems to be no smell of war. However, when you enter the interior of those warships, you will see busy figures and hear anxious calls, and you will smell the thick smell of gunpowder in the air.

This fleet is the field command center of the 5th theater, similar to Air Force One in country M, and is specifically designed to serve as a theater mobile command in times of war. When the Fifth Theater was waging counterinsurgency wars against New Miami and other star regions, this command fleet repeatedly appeared on the periphery of the battlefield, commanding the main forces under the command of the Fifth Theater at close range.

"Old man, do we really have to tear our faces with the military department?" On the flagship battleship of this fleet, numbered 050001, Admiral Barth, the supreme commander of the Fifth Theater of Operations, who was thin and thin, stood in front of a holographic star field map, frowned and said to Auston, who was sitting on the sofa behind him and sipping fine wine: "In my opinion, the relationship between our theater and the military department is best maintained at the best now, neither tearing the skin nor interfering with each other. We are our soil emperors, and they are their spring and autumn dreams, isn't it the best of both worlds? ”

"Old man, I didn't say you! You and I are old bones with one foot in the coffin, how can you still say such childish words? The short and fat Auston shook the bright red wine in the tall glass, and said with disdain: "Do you naively think that those old men in the military department are willing to let us be our soil emperor with peace of mind?" ”

"Hey! Maybe I'm really old! Bart was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, then let out a long sigh, turned around and sat down on the leather sofa, took a glass of wine from Auston, took a sip, and then continued: "Lately, I have been having strange nightmares, often dreaming that I am standing in a river of bloody corpses, full of corpses of soldiers and civilians, endless and endless to the end of the horizon. When I wake up, I often break out in a cold sweat. ”

"It's okay to pull the old man, you must be too tired, that's why you have such a nightmare!" Auston smiled and comforted, then pointed to the star hologram meaningfully and said, "I believe that it won't be long before our fleet from the Fifth War Zone sets foot on all human planets, and you won't have such nightmares again." ”

"Old man, to tell you the truth, wouldn't it be a bit self-conscious for us to do this?" Bart shook his gray head, as if he was not very interested in Auston's ambitions, and said with a frown: "Let's not talk about the first war zone and several other war zones directly under the Federal Military Department, just take the rest of the rebel star zones as an example, if we only use the strength of our fifth war zone, if we want to swallow them in one go, I'm afraid it will not be easy!" Even if the armies of those rebel star sectors are a rabble, the elite main force of our Fifth War Zone may not be able to withstand the consumption of endless crowd tactics. By that time, I'm afraid ......"

"Old man, how did you become so timid now?" Before Bart finished speaking, Auston frowned and wondered: "Could it be that you were frightened by the First Mixed Fleet of the Military Department?" I remember you would never have been like this mother-in-law before! ”

A few hours before the conversation between Bart and Auston, the negotiations between the Federal Military Department and the Fifth War Zone made an exception, and the First Mixed Fleet directly under the Military Department was actually surrounded by the Fifth War Zone, desperately fought its way out, and fled back to the star region where the Earth mother planet is located with nearly half of the remaining main warships. In that bloody battle, although the main fleet of the Fifth Theater occupied a huge advantage in time and place and in terms of troops, it still suffered a lot of casualties under the desperate breakthrough of the First Mixed Fleet.

"Maybe!" Bart ignored the sarcasm in Auston's words, gently put down the wine glass in his hand, and persuaded Auston in a straight way: "Old man, why don't we stop!" With the major star sectors currently occupied by the Fifth War Zone, we have enough strength to be a prince. If I continue to fight, I feel a little tired! ”

"Stop?" Auston was stunned, obviously he didn't expect the veteran general in front of him, who had worked with him for many years, to say such a thing. When he saw that Barthes had a straight face and no jokes, Auston was silent, but his heart was quickly pondering the deeper meaning of Barth's words.

"Well, old man, let me go back and think about your opinion! In this way, you have a good rest first. In a few hours, we will have to hold an emergency meeting to discuss how to deal with the counterattack of the federal military headquarters that will soon come! After a while, Auston got up and said with a smile to Bart: "Take care of your body, old man, we can't do without your command in the war zone!" ”

"You too, old fellow!" Bart also got up, and the old eyebrows shook Auston's hand and smiled: "You and I are almost at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and the things that make achievements on the battlefield should be left to the young people to do!" By the way, when will I be able to drink my niece's wedding wine? I heard that the son-in-law named Lin Bin was very hardworking, and he actually asked his father's family to transfer all the family property to the Pooling Star District, making it clear that he wanted to be a son-in-law! This golden beetle son-in-law is really good, old man! ”

"It's coming, it's coming!" Auston, who was slightly short and stocky, looked up slightly at Bart, who was a head taller than him, with a rather smug look on his face. Then, the two giants of the Fifth War Zone looked at each other. It's just that in the laughter of the two, there is a faint hint of strange taste.

A few minutes later, in Auston's own cabin, Lin Bin, who had been officially promoted to the commander of the 28th Air Assault Division, reported something to Auston with a respectful face, and Auston nodded from time to time while smoking a cigar, and his fair and fat face showed a satisfied smile.

"Well done, nephew!" After Lin Bin finished reporting, Auston took out the cigar in his mouth, flicked the cigarette butt in the ashtray, straightened his face, and praised it.

"Thank you uncle for the compliment!" Lin Bin, a rich young master, rarely behaves so respectfully in front of people, and only in front of Auston will he put down his identity as a young master and put on a flattering face. I have to say that he is not exactly an embroidered pillow-like anointed child, he has been tempered on the battlefield, and he is still quite scheming.

What he had just reported to Auston was a secret mission that Auston had given him. Auston asked Lin Bin to use his grandfather and his father's company Shili to insert some eyes and ears into the high-level departments of the Earth Federal Government to provide some valuable information for the Fifth War Zone.

"It's good, it's good!" Seeing that the son of a wealthy family in front of him lowered his arrogant head, Auston was still quite useful in his heart, nodded and praised it seriously, followed by a change of face, and said in a deep voice: "Virtuous nephew, I will give you a more important thing to do next, I don't know, do you have the confidence to complete it well!" ”

"Uncle, please speak!" Lin Bin hurriedly stepped forward and responded: "The little nephew must do his best to complete the things you explained, uncle!" ”

"Good!" Auston snapped a sentence, then beckoned to Lin Bin, and motioned for him to come closer. When Lin Bin got close to his fat body, Auston tried his best to lower his voice, as if he was worried that someone had installed a bugging device in his room, and whispered an explanation in Lin Bin's ear.

"What do you mean, uncle?" After listening to what Auston explained, Lin Bin's face changed slightly, and he was stunned.

"Don't ask too much, just do what I told you!" Auston was faintly displeased, waved his hand and interrupted: "You just need to remember that this matter is very important, and even your uncle's net worth and life are at stake. Taking a step back, if you want to marry back to Shell as soon as possible, then you must do your best to help your uncle get this done as soon as possible! After a pause, Auston rolled his little eyes and said meaningfully to Lin Bin: "Don't worry, after you become my son-in-law, you will have what your uncle has!" Do you understand? ”

"Little nephew understands!" Lin Bin solemnly stepped forward and responded. Inadvertently, a strange light flashed through his slender eagle eyes, faintly with a little excitement and a hint of fanaticism.

"By the way, how are things going in St. Prolis' Zone?" Auston didn't seem to notice the glint in Lin Bin's eyes, and gently patted him on the shoulder, expressing his satisfaction with this prospective son-in-law, and then continued to ask in a deep voice.

"Back to my uncle, General Hilton arrived at Star Melsa, the capital of the St. Prolius District, three days ago. Negotiations are currently underway with the rulers of the new government in the sector, and it is expected that good news will come back soon! Lin Bin hurriedly put away his fanatical eyes and respectfully bowed his head to report.

"Well, that's good!" Auston nodded with satisfaction, and then instructed Lin Bin: "You go and send a secret message to General Hilton, telling him that no matter what kind of request the other party makes, as long as it is within the scope of what we can bear, we will agree to them first!" Now is the time when we need to use them liliang, no matter what, one more ally is one less enemy! As for the future, let's wait until our fleet in the Fifth Theater is strong enough, and then we will think about it! ”

"Yes, Uncle!" Lin Bin hurriedly replied loudly, followed by a softening of his face, and said with some hesitation: "Uncle, that I ......"

"You're trying to ask where Shell is, right?" Looking at Lin Bin's expression, the old and spicy Auston asked with a smile.

"Uncle is so wise, he can't hide anything from your eyes!" Lin Bin's fair and handsome little face flushed slightly, and he hurriedly flattered.

"When I came out this time, I already took Shell!" Auston smiled at Lin Bin's flattery, and said with an elder posture: "She is now on the 02 flagship, with her mother. Take advantage of this time to come back to rest, you can go and spend a few days with her, and by the way, visit your aunt too! ”

"Thank you, uncle! The little nephew took his leave first! Lin Bin's eyes lit up, he thanked him loudly, and hurried out of the cabin.

"Well, the St. Proli Star District ......" After Lin Bin left, Auston opened a huge holographic map of the star field on the wall of his room, and looked at a binary star system on the edge, and fell into deep thought.
