Section 17 The melancholy before the decisive battle

Jiang Ziyue, who is the commander of the task force and the captain of the flagship, returned to the cruiser "Siegfried" in space, and the navigator Lieutenant Benjamin Alflake turned his chair, and asked with concern with a deeply interested expression on his face: "Commander Jiang, how is the 'wave' date of the interstellar planet?" โ€

"What date?" Jiang Ziyue asked with a blank expression. (Full text reading, all in ฯ‰ฯ‰ฯ‰.1(6)ฮบxS.ะกom(1(6).ๆ–‡.ๅญฆ็ฝ‘)/|\Update super fast/|\

"Beautiful Vivi." The merry Alfrec's eyebrows flew and danced.

Jiang Ziyue, who was sitting in the captain's seat, immediately smiled at his subordinates, and then said, "Very good, I found that she is becoming more and more 'fascinated'." โ€

Alfreyck could hear the anguish and helplessness in the chief's words, and revealed it mercilessly. He said, "Sir, you're smiling bitterly. The beloved 'woman' is becoming more and more 'fascinated', but she is also getting farther and farther away from herself, isn't it? Forgive me, sir, for your performance in the arena of love is far from worthy of your reputation on the battlefield. โ€

"Benjamin, can't you just say a few words?" First mate Joseph Dietrich disgruntled Lieutenant Alfryck.

Jiang Ziyue didn't mind his subordinates' outspokenness, he still kept smiling and looked at Alfrec.

This new navigator is completely different from his predecessor Omar Azay's 'sex', Aza'i in life is serious, pure-hearted and has few 'desires', and will not talk about 'women'. But Alfreck is different, not only does he live casually, but he also speaks on weekdays, and two out of three sentences are inseparable from 'female' people.

"Joseph, he has some point." Jiang Ziyue said to Dietrich with emotion, and then asked Alflake in a humble attitude similar to when a student asks for advice from a teacher: "While there is nothing to do now, Benjamin, in your personal opinion, what should I do next?" โ€

"Sir, since you say so, then I'll be blunt."

Alflake then preached, like a seasoned preacher: "The first thing you need to do is determine what you are now in love with Dr. Chan. Do you want to spend the rest of your life with her, or is it just to satisfy your impulses, or is it just a continuation of the relationship you had when you were young? Of course, you may not be able to explain clearly, or even think that it is a combination of all three. The first purpose is to be perfect, to live a very happy life with one's favorite 'woman', and the second purpose is short-sighted, to treat 'women' with a playful mentality, but to be played with by 'women', and often more trapped by love than those dedicated men. โ€

When Alfryk said this, Early Warning Sergeant Tang Xingyun smiled and said, "Lieutenant, this is your experience, right?" โ€

"Sort of." Alfryk generously admitted, and said confidently: "On the battlefield, I am definitely not as good as the commander, but on the 'bed', I can definitely be the mentor of the commander." I can not only serve as the starship navigator of the battleship, but also be the love navigator of everyone, or the master of the art of pickling girls. โ€

"I can see a cow being blown into faster-than-light state." Communications Sergeant Abiji Cumanfur scoffed.

Alfreyke didn't care about being ridiculed for his words, returned to the topic, and continued to say to Jiang Ziyue in a teaching 'tone': "The third purpose, to continue the beautiful relationship in the past, is even more unrealistic. The mentality at this time is by no means the mentality of that time, and the environment at this time is even more different from the environment at that time, so it is impossible for the innocence and 'passion' of the past to be continued today. โ€

Jiang Ziyue kept a smile on his face and listened to the teachings of his subordinates, and did not react immediately.

However, the sergeants in the bridge always like to 'plug' into the line.

Tang Xingyun asked Alfreck loudly, "Lieutenant, what do you want to express to the commander after you said so much?" Let him propose directly to Dr. Chen? โ€

"You're absolutely right, Don." Alflake said as he looked at Tang Xingyun with the teacher's approving eyes on the students who answered the questions correctly, and nodded with satisfaction. Then, he turned to Jiang Ziyue and said, "Except for the first purpose, sir, I don't think you have any reason to be 'obsessed' with Dr. Chen anymore. โ€

"Hey, Lieutenant, why do you sound a little strange?" Even Sergeant Ralph Turk, the fire control sergeant, came, "Didn't you say that Tang Xingyun was right?" โ€

"I mean it very clearly." After Alfreyke clarified, he solemnly said to Jiang Ziyue: "Sir, if you are really determined to live with Miss Chen for the rest of your life, then a temporary setback is nothing. But if you're still hesitating, it's better to calm down and don't think about her at all. โ€

Then, Alfreyck changed his tone to inflammatory 'sex' and said, "Sir, don't you Chinese have a saying to describe the relationship between men and women?" I guess it's like 'a teapot with a few cups' or something. Don't you see? In front of you, there is more than one cup that can hold tea for you. โ€

Expressions of understanding immediately appeared on the faces of the others, and they all nodded slightly in agreement.

Jiang Ziyue quickly understood what Alfryk was referring to another teacup. The image of the bald beauty Lota Staudert could not help but appear in front of his eyes.

The person who is 'infatuated' with him is indifferent to himself, and the person who is 'infatuated' with himself is openly rejected by himself. Is this a classic love triangle?

"Sir, I envy you very much." Benjamin Alfreck continued, "If you can't pick up watermelons, you can pick up winter melons. โ€

"Lieutenant, the original saying is 'I picked up the sesame seeds and lost the watermelon', which has nothing to do with the winter melon and pumpkin." Tang Xingyun immediately corrected the navigator's distortion of Chinese colloquialisms.

"Do you think a bald 'sexy' female god can be described as a little thing like sesame seeds?" Alfreyk asked rhetorically, revealing what he meant.

"But if a 'female' person looks like a winter melon, isn't it the best of the best?" Abiji Kumanfur said again in a mocking tone.

"It depends on the man's aesthetic concept." Sergeant Jerry Morris, the youngest and least talkative damage control sergeant on the bridge, also enthusiastically commented, "Ugly 'women' are also liked, and they also have a charm that beautiful 'women' don't have." โ€

Jerry Morris is really unrelenting, an amazing one.

At this moment, everyone else, including Jiang Ziyue, stared at Morris with wide eyes and a slightly childish face.

"Jerry, it's not your ...... Experience it. Tang Xingyun asked with concern in a surprised tone.

Jerry Morris's little face immediately flushed red, lowered his head shyly, and said in a low voice: "Actually, before going to work, I confessed to my neighbor's sister, asking her not to marry someone else. โ€

Although he seemed embarrassed, his words were still full of excitement and 'excitement'.

"Sister?!" Almost everyone exclaimed in unison.

"She agreed?" Tang Xingyun couldn't wait to ask, his expression was quite nervous, as if he was Morris's rival.

"Looks like a winter melon?" Alflake also seemed very concerned, but all he cared about was the appearance of the 'woman', and even though the 'woman' had nothing to do with him in this conversation, he still cared about his appearance.

Morris looked up, smirked with happiness on his face, and said sweetly, "Yes, she agreed." She's not pretty, not as captivating as Dr. Chan and Captain Stoldt. But she is very gentle and very good at taking care of people. โ€

"Don't look like a man." Abiji Kumanfur immediately sighed.

"yes." Tang Xingyun also sighed with deep feelings, "Jerry Morris, an innocent and beautiful boy, is actually a royal sister!" โ€

"It's not fun to have a sibling relationship." Ralph Turk shook his head and said, "You're only seventeen now, and it's going to take five years for someone to marry you." โ€

"Jerry, can you ask, your 'girlfriend' Fang Ling?" Even Jiang Ziyue asked Morris very interested. Now, he has to admit that he is not successful in love. Jerry Morris, who is not as old or experienced as himself, has far surpassed himself in this area.

"Actually, it's not much, she's only five years older than me."

"Barely acceptable." Tang Xingyun breathed a sigh of relief after speaking, as if he had finally 'figured' the true age of his object.

"That's nothing." Ralph Turk, who usually doesn't like to talk much, also sighed: "I had a crush on my sister when I was in middle school. โ€

"Heh, someone is gossiping about themselves again." Abiji Kumanfur exclaimed excitedly.

"Didn't you notice? Ralph just said...... "Benjamin Alfreck then mimics Turk's demeanor and tone, "sibling love is not fun. People have experienced it firsthand. โ€

Alfrec's performance made the others laugh.

It was the first mate, Captain Joseph Dietrich, who whispered to Jiang Ziyue: "Sir, I beg permission for me to go and rest." โ€

"Of course, Joseph. Thank you for your hard work. Jiang Ziyue replied happily, his attention had been focused on the emotional topics of his subordinates, and he seemed to have forgotten the distress and helplessness just now.

"Yes, sir."

After saluting, Dietrich opened the safety buckle on the seat, got up and flew off the floor, fastened the sling of the self-propelled pole, and quickly left the bridge of the Siegfried.

Far away, Jiang Ziyue and the sergeants laughed loudly again. Dietrich somewhat admired the chief's 'heart'. At the beginning of the conversation, Jiang Ziyue's words were still full of bitterness and helplessness, but as his subordinates deviated from serious topics to the interesting stories of self-defeating gossip, Jiang Ziyue also left the troubles in his heart behind.

But Dietrich couldn't let go, and even though everyone was talking and laughing, his heart was still soaked in the bitter sauce prepared by melancholy. He can take care of Jiang Ziyue's depressed mood due to the cold reception he received in front of Chen Weiyin, but it is the same mood that makes him unable to talk about a little lewd or even a little perverted but quite funny topic like everyone else.

Dietrich couldn't dispel the melancholy in his heart, but Jiang Ziyue was able to put aside the melancholy in his heart.

More than a thousand light years away in the void, another man is also facing the melancholy of how to deal with it.

Dana Kira Pontic's bright three-dimensional impact of 'Spring' is clearly presented in front of Robb.

Robb stared at the image of Dana projected on the protective helmet of the space combat suit, and his mind returned to the planet "Tai Chi" on April 29.

That day was the last day for Dana Pontick to stay in her hometown, and the next day she was to set off for the new Roman Empire's frontier fleet headquarters "Iserlon" planetary to report and join the Holy and Glorious Senate and the Roman people's army. There, she will undergo three months of recruit training, then 'spend' another month into space on interstellar readiness missions before being determined which non-warhead 'gate' to be sent to.

Robb, who was stranded on the planet "Taiji" at that time, had basically healed his injuries, and he was preparing to contact the federal agents lurking on the planet "Taiji" in order to return to the Perseus Federation as soon as possible.

After eating the "dinner" of human life on the planet that day, Robb still walked out of the Pontick house as usual, and walked with Dana, who was leading the horse, into a crop greenhouse where all the thin-film solar panels had been unfolded.

The environment in the greenhouse is already as quiet and peaceful as the night on a normal habitable planet. The automatic sprinkler system has just stopped spraying, leaving a large amount of water vapor in the air, and the air sent in by the ventilator also gently stirs the moist air, making the greenhouse look like a foggy night.

With the help of the light from the antique horse lanterns, they walked through the wheat fields and reached a small green meadow.

Dana took a tablecloth from her horse, spread it on the grass, and set the lantern aside.

Then, as usual, they sat down together on the tablecloth, sharing the 'waves' of this artificial night.

"Dana, from tomorrow onwards, you'll be a soldier too."

Although he was about to be separated from the other party, Robb's tone was still a little happy. In his opinion, after Dana joined the army, due to the relationship between the industry, he will undoubtedly be closer to him psychologically.

Dana glanced at Robb and said with a little sadness, "But we can't be together." โ€

Only then did Robb realize the seriousness of the problem, but he still understood that there was no banquet in the world, let alone on this enemy planet. As an active officer of the Immortal Interstellar Bundeswehr, it is very unrealistic to want to live with this 'fascinating' girl in front of him all the time in peace and happiness. So he said:

"Dana, I am very grateful to you and Ling Zun for taking care of me these days. But after all, I'm an active soldier of the Perseus Star Federation......"

"So you think we can't be together?" Dana interrupted.

Such an obvious and straightforward expression of 'exposure' surprised Robb very much. But seeing the other party's sad expression, he had to turn his brain with all his strength and comforted: "Isn't there a poem that is written like this: dear, don't be sad, the meeting will be a parting." My dear, don't cry, there is only sorrow before goodbye. โ€

"This is Lin Chang'an's poem, but he himself died in battle and failed to meet his wife again." Dana's voice looked even more sad.

Robb realized that he was clever but was mistaken by his cleverness.

In 2890, Lin Chang'an, a famous free-form poet of Yingxian Spiral Arm Interstellar, left his wife a free-form poem "Mo Farewell" to say goodbye to his wife before he went to the New Roman Empire. I don't want the poet to turn into interstellar dust in the "Himalaya" star field battle, and "Mo Farewell" then became an elegy for all the surviving people to their fallen spouses in the interstellar human world of the Immortal Spiral Arm.

At this time when he was about to part, Robb thought that he had cleverly selected this excerpt of this poem, which was full of helplessness about parting and grief and anger about the war, which undoubtedly 'aroused' the sadness in Dana's heart even more.

So, he hurriedly said, "Dana, we will meet again in the future." โ€

Dana didn't believe his words right away, looked at him with suspicion, and said, "Little Radish Head, you just said that you are a soldier of the Immortal Star State, an enemy of New Rome, and I will become a soldier of New Rome in the future, how can we meet again?" โ€

"The Perseus Commonwealth and New Rome can't remain hostile."

As he spoke, Robb leaned back, lay down on the tablecloth, and stared at the 'chaotic' "night sky" above, as if he could see through the solar panels on the roof of the crop greenhouse, and see the peace of the interstellar future of the Immortal Spiral Arm.

He continued: "More than 20 years ago, the relationship between our two countries was not as incompatible as it is now. Therefore, it is impossible to fight against each other forever in the future, and we will meet again one day. โ€

Listening to his analysis, Dana's sad mood calmed down somewhat, leaned over to look at Rob and said affectionately: "Little radish head, I thank you very much." I'm having fun these days. I don't have any friends, I don't have a mother, it's so far from the city, and I'm often left alone in this little meadow. โ€

"I can understand your feelings." "I lost my father when I was 12 years old, and I often feel very lonely and lonely. โ€

"Little Carrot Head, I didn't expect you to be ...... too," Dana said sympathetically.

"I've had a very unhappy time over the years. Although my stepfather was very kind to my mother and cared for me, he could not replace my father, and for a long time, I even hated him very much, and hated everything about him. But for the sake of my mother, and my own future, I still held back my feelings. But because of this, I often feel distressed and depressed. โ€

Recalling his own journey, Robb also looked quite sad, which made Dana want to comfort him.

Dana said softly: "Little carrot head, we are very happy together now, so don't think about the unhappy past." โ€

Robb smiled slightly and said, "You're right......"

But he stopped talking abruptly. Because he lay down and looked up at Dana, who was looking down at him, he found that Dana was becoming more and more 'fascinated'.

Under the light, Dana's curly blonde hair 'shoots' back with a glittering golden light, her white skin is slightly red, and her blue eyes are more like sparkling diamonds. The humid air that surrounds her is mixed with a rich earthy smell, a faint smell of wheat 'flowers', and a hint of special smell. Maybe it's the perfume Dana's body, maybe it's the natural smell of the body.

Robb didn't know what the scents were, but he knew for sure it was from Dana, and it fascinated him.

Looking at Robb, who was staring at her, Dana seemed to feel something, so she asked, "Little radish head, what's wrong?" โ€

"I'm ......," Robb said again, and then slowly got up, but his eyes remained unblinking.

"Dana, I have to confess to you that I am very happy with you, and I am very happy to be with you." Before he could finish his sentence, his face flushed and his neck was filled with blood, but his eyes were still fixed on Dana.

"Robb, you ......" Dana was also shocked, and the originally slightly reddened skin on her face suddenly rose into a strong red 'tide', and even the neck and 'chest' showed large red spots.

Robb felt very happy, the other person's body reacted the same as his own, not shy, but because of the warm emotions generated by being with the person he liked, which led to faster blood circulation. But the pleasant feeling of this realization, combined with the aura that had surrounded him, made him a little 'confused' and confused.

Robb raised his right hand, intentionally or unconsciously, and placed it on Dana's shoulder.

"I'm really happy to be with you." Robb let out a deep voice from the bottom of his throat, "Dana, I love you." โ€

As he spoke, he slowly leaned his face closer to the other.

Dana couldn't seem to extricate herself. The young 'woman' who has not been deeply involved in the world faces the heart-warming man so closely, and the happiness, 'waves', longing and mystery are 'mixed' into an irresistible 'temptation' and 'bewilderment', which envelops her heart.

But just as Robb was about to kiss Dana's face, Dana suddenly pushed him away. Then he lowered his head shyly and said softly: "Little radish head, no matter what, we will be separated tomorrow." โ€

After the other party's push and talk, Robb also sobered up. He withdrew the hand that was on Dana's shoulder and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I'm a little ......"

"No, little turnip." Dana shook her head and said, "I like you too, but I still have to go to the army, and you have to go back home." โ€

Robb straightened his sitting posture and continued, "You're right, we have to face reality." โ€

Dana raised her head and said seriously, "I think we should pin our good wishes on the future." โ€

Robb looked a little disappointed, but nodded his head in agreement.

"Pin the wish of beauty in the future."

At this time, Robb, who was wearing a space combat suit and fixed in the captain's room of the "Zhiyuan", which was sailing faster than the speed of light, looked at Dana's image and repeated what Dana said melancholy.

Then he asked again and again, "What does the future hold?" โ€

Luo Bo felt that the tuanfeng 'jade' pendant hanging close to his 'chest' seemed to be trembling slightly.

The Immortal Star Bundesmail Star Cruiser's Akuberi engine of the "Zhiyuan" erupted positive and negative hydrogen "jets", "excited" space "waves", and jumped into a faster-than-light state.

Fifteen hundred light-years away, a dim lone star, a man named Feng Jiang Ziyue, is waiting for Robb's arrival.

Of course, it can never be an intergalactic version of the Brokeback Mountain saga!

It's a dignified duel between men and men!

Both the New Roman Empire and the Perseus Interstellar Federation are sending large-scale fleets to the "Yi" star field.

The star field around the interstellar planet Yi advertised as the legendary "Antnest" will usher in a new round of all-out war between the new Roman Empire and the Perseus Star Federation since 2890.
