Alexander? Mortin was known as the "gossip king" in the entertainment news industry of the empire. He has a knack for obtaining scandals about celebrities and public figures, and his wife is the head of security of the "Fangkong Star City" commercial operation company. Through this channel alone, he is enough to collect enough image data for his "Imperial Bagua Array" media.

More than a year ago, Mo Erjing accompanied his wife on vacation to meet Jiang Ziyue when he was shopping at the Gamo underwear store in "Fangkong Star City". He recognized at a glance that the young man who was not wearing a military uniform was the battle hero who had been touted by the state news media not long ago. Seeing Jiang Ziyue shopping with a young and beautiful girl, Morking quickly realized the newsworthiness and "gossip potential" of her. He benefited his wife's relationship and selected a number of valuable image fragments from the "Fangkong Star City" security monitoring system. A report about the "Yi" star hero Jiang Ziyue and his girlfriend going to the street to buy underwear was quickly concocted.

However, at the final deadline, after Mortin received the news that Jiang Ziyue had been fired for spending the night with a female officer in the apartment of the planetary officer of "Iserlon", he immediately canceled the report. At the time, he did not know the inside story of Jiang Ziyue's expulsion, and the state media dealt with it in a very low-key manner, believing that Jiang Ziyue had lost its great value as a "focus of gossip". Besides, it was normal for an unmarried young man to accompany a girl on the street, so the report ended up stillborn.

What Mo Erjing didn't expect was that more than a year later, Jiang Ziyue not only won many battles and prospered in official fortune, but also experienced a series of joys and sorrows in life of marriage and widowhood in a short period of time. When the official promotional film "The Call of the Hero" came out, Mortin immediately recalled the report the year before last.

At this time, Jiang Ziyue almost has all the "qualifications" to become the "focus of gossip", with high popularity, young and promising, young and widowed, and has an easily reminiscent past with Dana, the heroine in "Gossip", plus the official promotional video is paved in front. So "Heroes? Girlfriend? Erotic Lingerie and Roman Dinner" was born.

However, in terms of content, Mortin's generosity did not mean to belittle Jiang Ziyue in the slightest. On the contrary, he sublimated the relationship between Jiang Ziyue and Dana into the historical fate of "heroes with beauties" with exaggerated and vulgar words. This also set the tone for the reports of other entertainment media later, so much so that some reports compared them to "Xiang Yu and Yu Ji"!

This statement made Jiang Ziyue's mother Jiang Xiaoqi very angry, and in her eyes, it was clearly implying that her son would end in a tragic fate. Because the ultimate fate of Xiang Yu and Yu Ji is "Farewell My Concubine". It's just that Jiang Ziyue and Dana don't care about this, Dana doesn't know much about the Chinese allusion of "Farewell My Concubine", and Jiang Ziyue also thinks that she is far inferior to the overlord of Western Chu. He was outraged that Mortin's reporting had opened a Pandora's box, putting him, his family and friends in the spotlight of the nation, and his life severely affected.

Although Mortin had explained that he was here to apologize and discuss matters of great significance, Jiang Ziyue was still very annoyed and said:

"What other significant things can you do? When I went shopping with an ordinary female friend, you could say that it symbolized the budding of love. It is of great significance to make a lot of money for yourself with other people's **. ”

"Please don't be angry, I have not written anything detrimental to your reputation and that of your friends. You've been featured in an official promo video and you've been reporting it a lot lately, which has made you very popular. Therefore, our company will like to publish a biography for you. You are aware that under the laws of the Empire, the authorisation of the person concerned must be obtained for the sake of the living person. ”

"Write me a biography?" Jiang Ziyue was a little surprised.

"Yes. Our plan and interview plan have been sent to your mailbox, and you can contact us at any time after reviewing. Because of your fame, if you remember to publish it, the conservative sales will be more than 10 million gold marks, and you will have 20% of the royalties. Mortin's tone was seductive.

But Jiang Ziyue was not interested in biographies, but was interested in Mortin's "Hero? Girlfriend? Erotic Lingerie and Roman Dinner" caused troubles. He said solemnly, "Wait until I die, and then write a biography to me, so you won't have to pay me for it." If it's all right, Mr. Mortin, I hope we won't waste any more of your precious time. Please. ”

"Please listen to me, Colonel Jiang. It's a great opportunity......"

"Please leave immediately." Jiang Ziyue looked aggressive, "If you have any dissatisfaction with today's reception, you can complain to the Discipline Picket Office of the National Defense Headquarters." ”

With that, he stood up and emphatically said, "Please leave at once, Mr. Mortin." ”

Mo Erjing saw Jiang Ziyue's tough attitude, so he had to leave in a huff.

Secretary Dana? Private Pontick walked in and reported in a loud voice: "Sir, the consul summons. I ask you to see him in the Privy Council at once. ”

"Got it, I'm going to go." Jiang Ziyue said and took off the military hat and coat from the coat rack.

But Dana did not leave the office as usual, but stood where she was and whispered, "Sir, I have a request, can you make it?" ”

"Say it."

Jiang Ziyue only cared about putting on his coat and tidying up his appearance. He didn't notice that the expression on Dana's face became nervous and flushed.

Dana hesitated for a moment before she mustered up her courage and said, "Can I treat you to dinner?" Just today. ”

Jiang Ziyue was stunned for a moment, then raised his head to look at her, a wry smile appeared on his face, and sighed: "Now the city is full of wind and rain." ”

"What are you worried about? We are innocent. Dana said seriously.

Jiang Ziyue nodded in agreement and said, "Okay." I'll come back and set a time. ”

"Thank you, Werther." Dana said happily, not even respectful, and opened the door and went out.

At work, she actually called her English name like before, which surprised Jiang Ziyue.

Jiang Ziyue didn't know that after he left, the whole office seemed to explode. The women were celebrating Dana's success with her boss, and Dana's words were exactly what they thought.

"Is this good?" Parties, Dana? Pontik asked, a little bewildered.

"It's called pushing the boat down the river. Since the world sees you as a couple, don't waste this opportunity and use the power of public opinion to achieve your dream of being a golden beetle. "Department head Delia? Vasilyevna? Captain Ivanova browled at the young subordinates.

"But I didn't want to develop the relationship you want with the chief." Dana shook her head.

"No, since you have such a good opportunity, you can't give it up." Ivanova hurriedly said, "Once a woman has decided on love, she has to go all out." ”

"yes." Others agreed, "Even though he was married, wouldn't that be better?" ”

"Yes, men who have had a married life are more considerate and thoughtful to women."

"Dana, you have the unique advantage of being young and beautiful, and you have known him for a long time. Use your gentleness and beauty to soothe his heart that has been traumatized by widowhood. He will be grateful to you for the rest of his life and will always be prostrate under your skirt. ”

The women babbled Dana to her feet and put her work aside for the time being.

The city of New Rome, the capital of the Empire, was already full of snow. Goose-feathered snowflakes fluttered down from the gloomy sky, putting on a white coat of prosperity and hustle and bustle of the imperial capital, which looked particularly romantic.

But outside of this beautiful snowy scene, a large number of imperial battleships and cruisers have rushed to the border, ready to start a large-scale battle.

In the magnificent Imperial Privy Council, Jiang Ziyue met with the consul Wang Zeren.

As soon as they met, Wang Zeren jokingly said: "Our big lover, the battlefield scenery, and the love scene are also wise and martial." ”

"Your Excellency, you would make such a joke." Jiang Ziyue had no choice but to say with a smile.

Wang Zeren sighed seriously: "Sometimes, I'm really jealous of you. Young, handsome, and surrounded by many and beautiful women. ”

Jiang Ziyue couldn't respond to his words, so he had to say seriously: "Your Excellency summoned, is there anything you want to order?" ”

"There are two big things." Wang Zeren said.

Then he told Jiang Ziyue about the main content of the "three-headed dog" battle plan, and then said: "Field Marshal Badenbrock has always regarded himself very highly and is full of confidence in his battle plan. However, her plan is not too safe, and in order to contain the Bundeswehr more effectively, I want to draw the forces of the Border Fleet and form a pirate fleet again to invade the territory of the Federation. ”

"You want me to take command of this fleet?"

"Yes. There's no better person than you. ”

"Can I refuse?"

Jiang Ziyue did not hesitate when he asked the question. He didn't like this way of warfare, and in his eyes it was not a good name. The last "pirate operation" was forced, and in essence it was only a head-to-head confrontation with the regular army of the Federation. But this time, Wang Zeren obviously wanted him to be a real interstellar pirate.

Wang Zeren looked at him and said, "This is a great opportunity for promotion and meritorious service. ”

"But, Your Excellency. I can't accept this way of fighting. Jiang Ziyue said.

His tone indicated that he was feeling pain in his heart, as Wang's proposal evoked his nostalgia for Rota. In the good days of those "bald pirates, bald men and women", his wife Lotta, who fought side by side with him? Stoldt, Whitehead Gus? Whitehead was gone, leaving him alone.

"Can you recommend someone to replace you?" Wang Zeren asked.

Jiang Ziyue thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Your Excellency, please forgive me for being blunt. This kind of combat is not only unethical, but it can easily damage your reputation. ”

"We have no choice in the face of victory. If you really don't want to accept this task, I won't force you. ”

Wang Zeren seemed to be very generous, he had long expected that Jiang Ziyue would definitely resign, but he still called him.
