Section 33 Another opening
"Lotta, what's the matter with you?" Jiang Ziyue asked. (Read the whole text on the Shilu K Literature Network)
"Sir, are you free after the reception in the evening?" Lota Staudert asked eagerly.
Jiang Ziyue immediately realized the purpose of her call, and hesitated for a moment before replying, "No, I still have a lot to do." β
"What else do you have to do?" Lota asked dissatisfied, knowing that the other party was lying.
Because the officers and men of the entire task force have entered a period of vacation, the reservists have already begun to replace the personnel who have returned from the expedition. What else can Jiang Ziyue do? All reports and summaries of the battle have been prepared on the way home, and letters of condolence to the families of the dead and missing have been sent. Then the task force will be disbanded, and he will not have to worry about the maintenance and overhaul of the ships, and the logistics troops and reservists will solve all problems.
"Lotta, let me be quiet, okay?" Jiang Ziyue had no choice but to make a request.
Unexpectedly, his mind was regarded as a nuisance, and Jiang Ziyue's words made Lota feel unhappy and even lost. But she didn't give up and asked bluntly, "Are you still thinking about Dr. Chen?" β
"Lota ......" Jiang Ziyue stopped talking and was silent for a while before continuing: "She and the landing personnel of the scientific expedition team were captured, just because I was negligent for a while, and I didn't leave a ship to protect them. How can you call me not to? β
"Ziyue, stop blaming yourself." Lota gently comforted the other.
"Thanks, Rota. It's nothing, just let me be alone for a while. Jiang Ziyue begged with a helpless tone.
She had no choice but to say, "Yes, sir." Then the communication was cut off in a huff.
Jiang Ziyue, who was in the speed communication, sat on the captain's seat, looking a little dazed. Far away from the battlefield, there is no tension and danger, and the longing for Chen Weiyin in his heart is getting stronger and stronger. He suddenly remembered something, and pulled out a small thin stereoscopic projection album from the bag on his chest.
A beautiful image was immediately projected in front of Jiang Ziyue. It was Chen Weiyin's half-body image, showing the moment when she looked back. Flowing hair, ruddy face, and bright eyes. This 'fascinating' image was once presented in front of his eyes, which made his heart beat and his pulse quickened. But now, the real part of the image is in enemy territory more than 4,000 light-years away.
Chen Weiyin's "fascinating" image penetrates Jiang Ziyue's mind and flies thousands of light-years of space.
The same image of a 'fascinated' person was also presented in front of Robb, a major of the Bundeswehr thousands of light years away, but what he saw was not an ethereal projection, but a real Chen Weiyin.
"Dr. Chen, this is my mother, Luo Zhaobing." Robb introduced his mother to the other party, "Mom, this is what I told you, Dr. Chen Weiyin. β
"Hello, Mrs. Luo." Chen Weiyin politely greeted the other party and shook hands with him.
"Hello, Dr. Chen." Luo Zhaobing responded to the other party with a smile, "You can call me Aunt Zhao, but you don't have to call Mrs. Luo." β
"Yes, Aunt Zhao. Come, please be seated. Chen Weiyin then poured tea for the visiting mother and son.
"Are you used to living here?" Luo Zhaobing asked with concern.
Chen Weiyin smiled bitterly and said dissatisfiedly: "Your government is simply hypocritical, saying that you will treat us as guests, but as a result, we are monitored everywhere, and we have to report to the safety committee when we go out." I think it would be better to put us in a concentration camp. β
Luo Zhaobing smiled slightly and said, "Miss Chen, you have said everything, you are like a guest." As a guest, how can the host not prevent and protect him? β
"All in all, I find this kind of behavior unbearable." Chen Weiyin was helpless and angry.
"Miss Chen, every country has its own legitimate reasons for depriving people from hostile forces of their freedom." Luo Zhaobing said calmly, "I heard that you refuse to cooperate with the federal government, and if this is the case, some politicians will also be dissatisfied with you and impose some restrictions. β
Luo Zhaobing's cooperation refers to the fact that after the arrival of new Roman scientists such as Chen Weiyin and Ulf Bernstein on Planet Andromeda, the federal government demanded that they provide all the results of their expeditions to the interstellar planet Yi and the top scientific and technological information they possessed about the Empire.
"Mrs. Luo." Chen Weiyin responded in a stern tone, "Since I was a student, the research I have conducted has been a basic 'sex' discipline that is not directly related to national defense, and it is here that you can also read my published papers and research reports. I have the right to refuse to cooperate with people or organizations that endanger my country. β
"Miss Chen, I'm not here to argue with you about these things. I just came to inspect it at the request of my son. β
"Investigation?" Chen Weiyin asked puzzled.
"That's right." Robb, who hadn't spoken much, quickly explained, "I ask my mom to be your political guarantor so that you can have most of your civic power." They are free to settle in the territory of the Commonwealth and choose their own employment. Aside from 'handing' a political report to the Security Council every year, you don't have to be watched. And after five years, you can apply to become a full citizen of the Federation. β
"What is this policy?"
"Policies of a Free and Democratic World." Luo Zhaobing replied in a sarcastic tone, and then said quite heavily: "Although we are each a country, we are of the same species. In each other's countries, there are many relatives of their own citizens. Therefore, under popular pressure, the government introduced this policy, allowing prisoners of war and ordinary defectors to enjoy partial citizenship rights after obtaining political guarantees from their own citizens. β
"Wouldn't it be more convenient and humane to put us back?" Chen Weiyin asked rhetorically.
"That's not a question I can answer." Luo Zhaobing smiled and said, "If you are willing to accept my political guarantee, you must answer some of my questions truthfully." β
"I appreciate your kindness." Chen Weiyin said coldly, and then stared at Luo Bo next to him fiercely.
Luo Zhaobing immediately saw that the other party was having a holiday with his son, so he said: "It seems that my son is making himself amorous." But I respect your wishes. If you need any help, you can always come to me. β
"Thank you." Chen Weiyin responded politely.
Seeing that the other party politely refused the kindness, he did not show interest in continuing the conversation. So Luo Zhaobing got up and said, "Then let's take our leave." β
Chen Weiyin didn't mean to stay, and then got up to see off the guests.
After leaving the ZhengfΗ public guest house where Chen Weiyin lived, Luo Zhaobing said to his son: "It seems that she took the initiative to help you and did not feel 'excited'. β
"We had a bit of a misunderstanding on the 'Zhiyuan'." Robb said embarrassedly.
"You fell in love with her so quickly?" The mother continued.
ββ¦β¦ How so? I'll admit that I have a crush on her. Robb replied with a smile, "At least I think she's more attractive than Song Xiaoyu." β
Regarding his son's answer, Luo Zhaobing replied that adults smiled happily when they looked at children's jokes, and said, "After coming back for so long, have you gone to see her?" β
"Mom, to be honest, I don't have any interest in her?"
"Then you don't have to rush back with me."
"Why?"
"You don't want to spend some more time alone with Miss Chen?" Luo Zhaobing said to his son with an empathetic attitude, "Invite her to our house for dinner tonight, just say that I invited her to a banquet." β
"Great, Mom." Robb exclaimed happily.
"I'll go first." After Luo Zhaobing finished speaking, he got back into the 'private' luxury car.
"Goodbye, Mom." After seeing his mother's maglev car leave, Luo Bo immediately rushed back to Chen Weiyin's apartment.
Seeing Robb turn back again, Chen Weiyin was surprised and asked angrily, "What are you still doing?" β
Robb stood at the entrance of the 'door' and said with a smile: "I have seen it, and you are still angry after so many days." β
"If there's nothing going on, please leave immediately."
"Of course I have something to do, so I'll come back to see you." Luo Bo said that he walked into the living room without the permission of the other party, sat on the sofa, and cocked Erlang's 'legs'.
"Tell me what you're doing, and then let me go." Chen Weiyin has never given the other party a good face.
"My mother wants me to tell you that she will invite you to my house for dinner tonight. I wonder if the doctor is willing to appreciate his face? β
Chen Weiyin did not respond immediately. There seems to be alarm about the family's motivations for their passion. She asked, "Why did your mother invite me to dinner?" β
Robb spread his hand and shrugged his shoulders, saying, "When you see her in the evening, ask for yourself." Then he complimented, "Maybe I like you." You are so beautiful and 'fascinating', young and talented. My mom admires people like you. β
Hearing his words, Chen Weiyin couldn't help but let out a wry smile.
"How's it going, Miss Chen?" Luo Bo asked earnestly, "For the sake of a mother, you can agree, and I will go back to 'make a deal' with my mother." β
Chen Weiyin put away her smile and asked coldly, "Is this what you said?" β
"Yes." Robb nodded in reply.
"Nothing else, right?" Chen Weiyin then asked.
"It's gone." Robb shook his head and replied.
"Then get out of here!" Chen Weiyin suddenly roared angrily.
Luo Bo was still sitting on the sofa, smiling and comforting: "Don't be so angry, it will affect your appearance." β
"Get out, get out of here!" Chen Weiyin had become so angry that he even picked up the cup on the table and threatened the other party.
Seeing that her emotions were on the verge of getting out of control, Luo Bo hurriedly jumped up and said, "Okay, you calm down, I'll leave immediately." So saying, he retreated to the 'door' of the room.
finally drove Robb away, and Chen Weiyin returned to the sofa in the living room. The loss and helplessness of falling into the enemy's situation, the loneliness and helplessness of leaving relatives and friends, and the 'agitation' anger just now, made her emotions quickly collapse, covering her face and crying bitterly.
On the evening of July 2, the welcome banquet of the expeditionary soldiers of the Frontier Fleet was held in the famous Kunlun Hotel on the planet Iserlon. Major Jiang Ziyue became the center of attention, and the commander of the Border Fleet, Blake Carrios, and the chief of staff, FernΓ‘ndez de Zubaran, were even more enthusiastic about the young and promising major. Before the buffet-style banquet officially began, the two took Jiang Ziyue around to swagger around, introducing their subordinates to the dignitaries and celebrities present. Although people have already known Jiang Ziyue through various media, being able to see this person who was promoted as a hero with their own eyes also made many people 'excited'.
However, before the banquet was over, Lota Staudet found that Jiang Ziyue had disappeared unconsciously, along with the original controller of the "Siegfried" bridge.
Suddenly, a voice came from behind him: "Lota, how about we have a drink?" β
When she turned around, she found that the first mate of the Siegfried, Captain Joseph Dietrich, was already looking at her with a glass of wine in each hand, smiling. She took a glass of wine and asked, "What about Joseph, Jiang Ziyue and the others?" Why can't you see it? β
"Let's care about our common future." Dietrich took the initiative to clink glasses with her, and then drank all the wine in his glass.
"A common future?" Lottata shook her head and said, "Oh, no, Joseph. I have definitively rejected you, and we will not have any future in common. β
"But you can also see that the man you love deeply is deeply in love with another 'woman'." Dietrich exclaimed and persuaded the other party.
"Yes. You're not the same yet. Lota replied in the same tone, "The 'woman' you love deeply loves another man. β
Dietrich let out a wry smile and said boringly, "I think we can write a romance between us." β
"Your writing is good, you can try it." Lota smiled and said, "Tell me, where did they go?" β
"It was the 'pervert' ghost, Benjamin Alfrec, who took the chief. And, of course, those merry sergeants. You'd better not ask. β
"Where the hell is it?" Lota asked, smiling.
"A place that certain men frequent." Dietrich played a slippery head and deliberately did not say it directly.
"Alright, Joseph, tell me, where have they gone? Just when I begged you. β
Dietrich looked at her, looked at her expectant eyes, and finally said: "New Paris, Lion and Tiger Club." I don't know exactly where it is. β
"Thank you, Joseph." Lotta said excitedly, then poured the low-alcohol red wine from the wine glass into the other person's glass, "This glass of wine is for you." β
Then, she eagerly walked towards the exit.
Watching Lotta's slender and toned background disappear into the exit, Dietrich could only shake his head in disappointment and drink the wine from his glass.
On the shore of Maple Lake, two hundred kilometers away from the headquarters of the Imperial Frontier Fleet and the Kunhua Hotel, on a corner of the small city of New Paris, there is an inn called "Longtan Tiger's Den". In the basement of the hotel, there is also a black bar called the Lion Tiger Club, which is dressed in a uniform garment. It is said that the owner's background is quite complicated, and the backstage is quite solid, so the Lion Tiger Club, which was originally a normal business, was turned into an underground place to make huge profits.
The great, right, and glorious Senate hated the industry, but on this heavily guarded planet, underground prostitution was an open secret. The commanders and pickets also turned a blind eye, and as long as nothing happened, they basically ignored the fact that the officers and men were in and out of illegal entertainment venues. Behind this is not only related to corruption, but also linked to the issue of building the army's work style.
The main customers of the Longtan Tiger 'Cave' Hotel and the Lion Tiger Club are junior officers and soldiers. However, since there has never been any negative news here, it has not been seized by the pickets, and the ladies who come to serve here have been carefully selected by the boss. Therefore, it is already a time-honored brand with a good reputation in the army.
Benjamin Alfreck, a patron with Tang Xingyun, Abiji Cumanfur, Ralph Turk, Jerry Morris, and von Jiang Ziyue, dressed in civilian clothes, was gathered around a corner table. On either side of each of them sat a girl dressed in a 'dear' dress and a delicate face.
Alfreck put his arms around his old lover and flirted as if he were a wife and a partigo.
Tang Xingyun enthusiastically taught the two new lovers who didn't understand Chinese culture how to use chopsticks to coerce something for him to eat, and openly rubbed oil from it.
Cumanfur gushed about the battle with the ladies, boasting about how wise he was as a communications non-commissioned officer, to the applause and applause of the ladies.
Tek plays dice with his own girl, but not a wine fight, and whoever loses will let the other party kiss any part of his body!
Jerry Morris, according to the laws of the Empire, is not allowed to enter the bar. Because he was not yet eighteen years old. However, this kind of illegal bar is usually immune to the Imperial Law, and there is a little thin mask on the old patron Alfleck, and the little boy Jerry can also enjoy the two older sisters to serve him. It's just that Morris seemed restrained and shy, and he didn't dare to move when he sat still, and the questions he asked made the two girls who had experienced the vicissitudes of life feel thunderous. The first sentence asked people: "What industry is the young lady engaged in?" β
However, the two girls who served the little brother did not feel uncomfortable, at least the ignorant little boy was 'quite cute and funny'.
The two who followed Jiang Ziyue didn't have any good faces. Jiang Ziyue put them aside and drank wildly by himself.
"Does this man think bars are just places to drink?" The 'female' on Jiang Ziyue's left complained.
Alfreyck, who heard the complaint, said happily: "Then come and stay with me, leave him alone." There is no shortage of 'female' majors in the major. β
"Yes, there are obviously a lot of 'female' people chasing after them, but they are still unrequited in love with a 'flower'." Tang Xingyun also followed, and then pointed to the girl on Jiang Ziyue's right and said enthusiastically: "Come on, come here, I'll teach you a few to play a very interesting game." β
"It's typical of hanging from a tree." Cumanfur also ruthlessly commented on his infatuated chief.
"Oh, does this guy have any 'waves' in the past?" The young lady to Morris's right asked with interest.
"The Chief's former 'girlfriend' has been captured by the Federation Army, and the enemy commander happens to be our old rival on the planet 'Taiji'." Morris explained.
"Oh!" The young lady immediately admired: "You have been to the planet 'Taiji'. But her attention wasn't what she had asked.
"The border guard permit I applied for has not been approved, saying that I have a criminal record and will not be allowed to go." Another girl complained.
At this time, Tang Xingyun exclaimed, "Look, who's coming?" β
