After escaping death, seeing each other again was full of joy, more romantic, and more precious.

Robb presented Chen Weiyin with roses, and then took her for a walk by the lake in Youth Town, picnic together, and watched the sunset together.

Chen Weiyin lived an idyllic life as a scholar in Youth Town, while Robb also had a feeling of idleness and wild cranes at this time.

So much so that Chen Weiyin had to sigh like this: "Sometimes I think, if there was no war, how good it would be!" ”

Robb told her unmistakably: "Then we can't know each other!" ”

"I wish I hadn't known you!" Chen Weiyin said nonchalantly: "Because I know you, my life has been ruthlessly changed!" ”

Luo Bo smiled and said proudly: "You and I know each other, it's a hit!" ”

"What would you think if one day, I still had to leave the planet 'Andromeda', leave your loyal Perseus Star Federation, and return to the New Roman Empire!" Chen Weiyin's tone was serious, because before, Luo Bo's mother, Luo Zhaobing, had already informed her that she was on the prisoner exchange list, and the new Roman Empire had made it clear in the preliminary negotiations that in order to exchange for Song Xiaoyu, it was necessary to release the scientists who had fallen into the hands of the Federation in the early days to explore the "Yi" interstellar planet.

"I will conquer the new Roman Empire and find you!" Robb replied without thinking.

In fact, he also knew that Chen Weiyin would be with Ulf? Bernstein, Mia? Together with the two imperial scientists, Frobel was exchanged back to the New Roman Empire as important prisoners of war.

"Conquest!" Chen Weiyin questioned.

"Yes!" Robb nodded: "But, aren't you really by my side now?" So, the new Roman Empire should rejoice! ”

Although Chen Weiyin didn't know that in the battle not long ago, Robb almost died in the violent light spots of the "Himalaya" star, she still felt Robb's pretended relaxed posture.

Of course, Robb almost became the "conqueror of the new Roman Empire" in his mouth, but was destroyed by Jiang Ziyue's divine trick.

"I'm confident that I can make it!" Despite repeated setbacks, Robb remained confident.

"Conquest of the New Roman Empire!"

"Yes, as long as I'm alive, that's one of the things I have to achieve in my life!"

"So, you have other big goals!"

"Yes, conquer the new Roman Empire, and then unify the human world of the Immortal Spiral Arm Stars!" While Luo Bo spoke, he looked at the distant sky, as if he saw his incomparably grand future: "At that time, the world will be peaceful, there will be no war, no family will be ruined, no wives will be separated, and we can enjoy our old age in peace!" ”

Chen Weiyin looked at the man full of pride and ambition in front of him, different from Jiang Ziyue's focus on his career and the mentality of ordinary people at the moment, Luo Bo, who has a prominent background, has a clear ambition and a mind to calm the world, such a man does make her have a special feeling.

It's just that Luo Bo's influence on the Federation is far less than Jiang Ziyue's role in the Empire, if there is no Luo Bo's family background, without his mother Luo Zhaobing's superhuman wisdom and all-encompassing means, Luo Bo would not be able to have what he is today, and it is even more difficult to compare with his opponents, Chen Weiyin still has a deep understanding of this.

Therefore, she no longer speaks to Robb's rhetoric.

There is a Western proverb: Men conquer women by conquering the world, and yet, Robb, he has not conquered the world yet.

So, she cherished the present moment even more, temporarily stayed away from the war, away from the hustle and bustle, and silently enjoyed this rare gathering.

But she knows very well that the world around her and the men around her is becoming more and more complex and complex.

A series of war aftermath work is still underway, and the Immortal Interstellar Federation Congress launched an impeachment bill against Federal President Song Tingrong, but, as Luo Zhaobing said to Robb before, in the first round of voting in the House of Representatives, more than a dozen Freedom and Democratic Alliance and more than 20 centrist and non-partisan parliamentarians voted against, and the bill failed to reach more than half of the votes in favor and was vetoed, thus enabling Song Tingrong to survive the first crisis of confidence since he was in power.

Subsequently, the transaction that Luo Zhaobing said went smoothly, and Robb won the third "Freedom Star" Medal, the Presidential Commendation Order, the Congressional Commendation Order, the Federal Medal of Courage, and the National Defense Assault Medal.

As Jiang Ziyue, who preached god-like against the New Roman Empire, Robb was also packaged and touted by the Perseus Federation as a human hero, although those who knew the inside story were deeply dissatisfied and even jealous of this, but they could only remain silent, because they also knew very well in their hearts that the victory of the Federation was based on luck and heavy losses suffered by the rear.

Especially President Song Tingrong. Although he was reluctant, he had to admit that Robb, the possible future son-in-law, had indeed inadvertently saved his political life, allowing him to divert the attention of the people and continue to rule the Federation.

After awarding Luo Bo the medal, Song Tingrong appointed Luo Bo as the deputy of the plenipotentiary ambassador, Admiral Shi Jingsheng, to negotiate with the new Roman Empire on the planet "Taiji" New Shanghai.

After the ceremony, Song Tingrong called Robb into his office for a private meeting.

"With Li Jingxian and others as bargaining chips, it is not a big problem to exchange for Xiaoyu!" Song Tingrong said confidently to Luo Bo, but the next tone was quite worried: "But after I come back, I really don't know how to explain it to her!" ”

"I heard you didn't send someone to help her get out of 'Andromeda'!" Robb responded.

"Yes, Dai Yunong reported that it was the New Roman militants who had previously launched an uprising on the planet 'African' kidnapped Xiaoyu, saying that it was to avenge the unfavorable assistance of our army during the 'African' war!"

Robb was skeptical of the Security Committee's claims.

"I don't think this reason makes sense, at that time, the imperial army had already controlled the airspace around 'Andromeda', and the only purpose of sending Song Xiaoyu out was to let her fall into the hands of the imperial army. What benefits can the rebels of Afrika's get from this, the Empire's pardon, I am even more convinced that the kidnapping of Xiaoyu was done by the spies of the Empire who infiltrated us, and our spies can infiltrate the flagship of the enemy's fleet to destroy, with the strength of the enemy, it is not difficult to send people to the 'Andromeda' operation, plus Xiaoyu has always liked to be free and unwilling, and is not willing to be bound by security procedures......"

"Actually......" Song Tingrong interrupted his reasoning, revealing a confused expression and explaining to Robb, "In fact, in the battle of 'Eiqueth' star field, the explosion of the enemy's flagship was not done by our people, or rather, all the departments I can control have confirmed that no one has infiltrated the enemy's flagship and sabotaged it!" ”

"What?!" Robb's tone and expression were quite astonishing.

"According to all the information we have, the unprovoked explosion of several flagships of the Imperial Army can only be attributed to a third party force other than us, the New Roman Empire, and it is clear that this force is very powerful, and it is hoped that we can gain an advantage over the Empire!"

"In this way, this force is still in our favor!" Although Luo Bo was questioning, his tone showed that he was skeptical of Song Tingrong's words.

Song Tingrong nodded and said, "At least from the current analysis, it should be like this!" ”

"But? What if they were linked to the kidnapping of Xiaoyu? ”

"You mean to suspect that they kidnapped Xiaoyu!"

"Yes, kidnap Song Xiaoyu in exchange for Li Jingxian!"

"No, no!" Song Tingrong waved his hand to Luo Bo again and again, saying:

"First of all, in terms of time, Xiaoyu fell into the hands of Jiang Ziyue and the 'Zheng He' fleet before Li Jingxian was captured; secondly, anyone who knows a little about the political system of our federation should know very well that the kidnapping of Xiaoyu does not pose any substantial threat to me and the entire federation;

"But we can't be sure that the rebels are not under the control of this third party!" Robb still stuck to his ideas.

Song Tingrong didn't respond to Luo Bo's words immediately, and after a little hesitation, he said: "Actually, before the battle of the 'African-African' star field, the local anti-imperial forces were not supported by us, including the leaders of the rebellion at that time, Chai Sangling and Wu Danqing, who had no contact with us before this battle, and when they took advantage of the arrival of General Xu Hongzhao's fleet on the planet 'African' to launch an armed riot, our intelligence system did not enter their information!" ”

"But as we all know, they also used the weapons and equipment produced by the Golden Causeway Group to overthrow the 'African' Planetary Governor's Palace!"

"Material aid to the anti-imperial forces in the empire is circulated through the black market of the 'Taiji' planet, so neither the Golden Causeway Group nor the federal government can grasp all the details of each single arms transaction, and we are not clear about the specific flow of many weapons and equipment, and it is precisely for this reason that our arms assistance to the anti-imperial forces in the empire is limited to individual interstellar Marine Corps equipment!"

Although Song Tingrong has not served as the president of the Immortal Interstellar Federation for a long time, he still has a very clear understanding of the Federation's past policies.

"In this way, the local self-government authorities of the planet 'Taiji' have become suspicious!" Robb's mind is quick.

However, there has always been a strong suspicion of the "Tai Chi" Planetary Mayors' Alliance, which enjoyed a great deal of autonomy in the highly centralized unitary New Roman Empire.

Looking back over the past 300 years, the rise and expansion of the new Roman Empire has always relied on force and power, from the unification of "New Byzantium" to the conquest of "Africa", all of which are the victories of the giant ship cannon doctrine.

The historical reasons for this strange "marriage" between the New Roman Empire and the planet "Taiji" are still widely discussed, but as the most free and open economy in the entire Perseus Spiral Arm interstellar: the "Taiji" planet is undoubtedly the main battlefield of the hidden front between the empire and the federation, and its own ruling body, the mayoral alliance with real power, has the ambition and strength to take a share of the pie in the hegemony between the empire and the federation.

Therefore, Luo Bo's suspicion of the "Tai Chi" planetary authorities is not new, and Song Tingrong also seems to have expected his statement, shook his head and said: "The security committee caught a woman named Cui Yingzi and confessed that she was the liaison person who kidnapped Xiaoyu, we suspect that she is a person from the 'Tai Chi' Planetary Security Bureau, but we lack evidence, and we can't find more clues behind the scenes from her!" ”

"It seems that this third-party force is very deeply hidden, maybe the Imperial side will also draw conclusions from the third-party force in the process of investigating the explosion of their flagship, and suspect the head of the 'Taiji' planetary authorities!" Robb appeared quite confident in his guesses.

"Then they must be very nervous, the strength that can easily destroy the three super battleships is far beyond the threat of Ling Zun back then!"

"My father fought openly against the empire back then, defeated the empire under the rules of war, and disdained this kind of despicable means of kidnapping and assassination at all!" Robb's tone was full of pride and glory.

"General Su Yu's majesty, and even the enemy are respected, it can be described as a famous place through the ages!" In front of the possible future son-in-law, Song Tingrong did not hesitate to praise his rhetoric.

Seeing that Song Tingrong was somewhat unusually flattering, Luo Bo also noticed something? So he asked affectionately: "Uncle Song, you specially called me to the office, not just to praise my father!" ”

"Of course, Robb!" Song Tingrong said with a smile: "In addition to what I told you just now, I have a very serious question for you: Do you have any plans for the exchange of prisoners of war and negotiations and the return of Xiaoyu?" ”

"Yes!" Robb replied without hesitation: "I will submit my report, hoping that I can be transferred to the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Wehrmacht, start a new round of changes in our military technology, tactics and ship equipment, and promote our army to accumulate strength to meet the new challenges of the new Roman Empire!" ”

"Good!" Song Tingrong nodded approvingly, but he didn't seem to have much interest in Luo Bo's ambitions, but asked with concern, "What about that person?" ”

This kind of question actually seems quite straightforward, in other words, any normal person can understand the answer that Song Tingrong wants at this time, especially since he has clearly said the words "after taking Xiaoyu back" before.

"The threat of the empire is still huge, the security of the federation is still dangerous, I, Robb, am not only the queen of the famous general, but also the stepson of the wealthy family, and I consider myself the pillar of the country and the defender of the people, so now I have made up my mind that the empire will not be destroyed, the federation will not be peaceful, and I will never consider the individual!"

From beginning to end, word by word, Luo Bo behaved extremely solemnly and seriously, and then, he also deliberately emphasized to Song Tingrong, this possible future Yue Zhan:

"Uncle Song, in the past two years, I have galloped through the sea of stars, crisscrossed the battlefield, and traversed life and death, which has made me mature and strengthened my determination: before the great righteousness of the country and the peace of the people, I will never care about my personal life!"

The unexpected answer made Song Tingrong feel disappointed and dissatisfied, but his expression was full of joy and appreciation, patted Luo Bo's broad arm, and said: "I feel very gratified, the Wehrmacht can have a young talent like you, it is really a blessing for my federation and the people!" ”

After that, the two were left with only a polite conversation, and of course, because of this, the conversation did not last long, and Robb walked out of the presidential palace very quickly.

Luo Bo knew very well that Song Tingrong expected him to promise to marry Song Xiaoyu, who had returned, but he refused on the pretext of national righteousness, so Song Tingrong must be very disappointed and even dissatisfied, but only Robb himself knew that a bunch of grandiose reasons for the president were just a ploy, and even his mother was not told about his life plan.

As he himself said: "These two years of galloping through the sea of stars, crisscrossing the battlefield, and passing through life and death have made me mature."

After leaving the presidential palace, Robb rushed to the federal national cemetery: the mass funeral of the fallen soldiers of the "Aegis" Star Field Conference had not yet taken place, but he had to lay a wreath at the newly erected tombstone as soon as possible.

The huge white four-pointed star-shaped tombstone, standing on a small high ground in the "Andromeda" planetary federal national cemetery, the names engraved on the tombstone belong to the martyrs who died in the "Robb" task force expedition to the territory of the new Roman Empire, this commemorative tombstone has no official name, and no official unveiling ceremony has been held.

Because of the deal with Luo Zhaobing, to cover up Robb's fiasco in the first battle near the "Himalaya" star, Federal President Song Tingrong and his government did not publicly deal with this memorial tombstone, the National Defense Forces and the National Cemetery Administration will not hold any public ceremonies for this tombstone in the short term, and few people who come to the cemetery to pay respects know the significance of this tombstone, but people who are familiar with the inside story have a special reference to this tombstone: "Robb's tombstone."

Robb, dressed in an ivory navy dress, solemnly placed a huge wreath on the base of the tombstone, raised his hand in salute, and did not put it down for a long time.

The people on the tombstones all died because of Robb, and if it weren't for his stubbornness and recklessness, they would have returned to their hometowns and reunited with their loved ones, but now they have all ascended to heaven and earth, separated by yin and yang, and even the corpses have been melted by the heat of the stars.

Once you succeed, your bones are withered, but you have not succeeded, and the loyal bones you follow have been burned to ashes.

"My soldiers, this is a tombstone for you, and it is also the tombstone of my Robo!" Robb said excitedly to the tombstone, as if in front of him were the officers and men of the special fleet who had been lined up for reading: "The next time I come to see you, I will definitely bring a complete victory over the new Roman Empire!" ”

This was the biggest defeat that Robb suffered after joining the army, so he couldn't let go of this tombstone.
