Human Universal Standard Time, 2919 A.D., is the year of Jihai in the traditional Chinese lunar calendar.

In the first half of the year, a breeze of peace once blew through every inhabited planet in the Perseus Spiral Arm interstellar space. However, as soon as it entered the second half of the year, the fleets of the two major branches of human civilization on the earth, the Perseus Federation and the New Roman Empire, conducted a large-scale battle near the interstellar planet "Yi", which is 1,500 light-years away from the Perseus spiral arm.

It is the third "Yi" Star Field Battle. Both sides mobilized more than 4,000 warships and more than 300,000 soldiers to fight for control of the interstellar planet "Yi". The result of the contest was a total defeat for the Imperial Army and the Bundeswehr once again recaptured the "Yi" star.

However, the Bundeswehr gave its two veterans a resounding 'fine' performance, Erick? Feng? Five-star Admiral Bloomberg and Leonid? Mikhailovich? Admiral Lepnin pulled down the glamorous curtain of his career, but did not stop the dance of the war. The new Federal President Song Tingrong and Defense Minister Leonardo? Admiral Higgins, with the aftermath of victory, adhering to the ancient motto of "it is advisable to chase the poor crown bravely, and not to sell the name and learn the overlord", with the code name of "Qin Shi Huang", sounded the clarion call to enter the star field in the territory of the New Roman Empire, and reopened the process of military struggle to unify the interstellar civilization of mankind.

On 23 August of that year, under the command of the newly appointed Wehrmacht Admiral Xu Hongzhao, the First, Second and Third Fleets, consisting of 3,000 battleships, 2,800 cruisers, and nearly 4,000 logistical support ships, flew away from the moon "Pelion" of the brown dwarf "Kronos" and began a roundabout voyage to space above the silver road. Although there is little detailed information on interstellar voyages in the space above the galactic surface, the intrepid Bundeswehr has set out on a long journey without hesitation.

The distance from the brown dwarf "Kronos" to the target planet Africa is more than 5,000 light-years, including a 1,35-line space separated by more than 1,000 light-years. This time, the line of attack drew an elegant arc, and the expeditionary fleet would have to fly nearly 10,000 light-years to enter the heliosheath (i.e., heliopause) of the star "Solo's Gate" on the planet Afrika.

The reason for such a laborious expedition is that there is only one purpose, to bypass the cordon of the 135 space deployed by the Imperial Army on the silver road, and to achieve the suddenness of the battle.

In the midst of the huge expeditionary fleet, an unknown little man was added temporarily. Lieutenant Luo Xiaochen, this man who once lived in embarrassment and misfortune but always maintained his strong and optimistic qualities. His ancestry made him suffer from discrimination in the family, and his status changed slightly after his mother played a role in the intrigue between his eldest brother and his aunt Luo Zhaobing, which made him feel disdainful.

Although Luo Shilin's lawsuit with his stepmother did not fully achieve his goal, he still fulfilled his promise and publicly announced that he recognized Aiuchi Sakoko as one of the wives of his deceased father, and his son Luo Xiaochen, born to his father, as one of his brothers. Saheko was also able to enter the circle of the Luo family a year after her husband's death, and changed her husband's surname to Luo, taking her father's surname as her name and calling her Luo Xiangnei. This name was actually given to him by Robben before his death. At the same time, Luo Shilin also relied on her connections to find a position in the army for her new brother Luo Xiaochen.

Although the way to achieve all this today is very dishonorable, it is not something that Luo Xiaochen can control himself. As a mother, Luo Xiangnei had no choice but to put morality behind and bow to Luo Shilin, who held power, for the sake of her son's future. Luo Xiangnei's original wish was for his son to find a job in the Luo family's business, instead of fighting on the front line of life and death. However, Luo Shilin praised Luo Xiaochen's ideals very much, shouted that "a good man should throw his head and shed blood for the country", and personally supported his brother to "send him to death" on the front line.

Luo Xiaochen was deeply 'excited' by his eldest brother's behavior. But that night, when Luo Xiaochen left his aunt Luo Zhaobing's "Qingping Residence", Luo Zhaobing immediately said to Luo Bo: "Luo Shilin is honest and loyal on the outside, but on the inside, she is 'treacherous' and 'insidious', so quickly sent Xiaochen to the most dangerous battlefield, not to kill him, what will it be for?" ”

Luo Xiaochen didn't know what Luo Shilin was thinking about. When the commander-in-chief of the campaign, General Xu Hongzhao, announced the "Qin Shi Huang" plan, he did not realize the danger of being sent into such a high-risk operation as a fledgling rookie. On the contrary, he was confident that he had a great opportunity in front of him.

The battleship Pershing, the flagship of the Second Fleet, completed the first stage of the Akuberi faster-than-light voyage and flew to the predetermined rendezvous point using reaction propulsion. Second Fleet Commander Hadrian? Lieutenant General Ed 'Mon' Sen called Luo Xiaochen to his office. Ed 'Mon' Sen did not have any prejudices against this new trainee officer, but because the combat operations he received were so important that he felt the need to 'hand' over a few words.

"Lieutenant Luo is still used to expeditionary life." Ed 'Mon' Sen asked.

"Thank you General for your concern, I'm fully able to adapt."

Luo Xiaochen replied with his head held high. His hard, handsome face, inherited from his father, Robben, showed a serious and confident expression, which reassured Ed 'Mon' Sen.

The general continued: "This time our army will go deep into the enemy's territory, although it will definitely surprise the enemy, but we are also alone in the depths, and it is very likely that we will be besieged by a strong enemy. So we have to be exactly what we want to do in order to get the job done. Although you have the sign of a trainee officer, I see you as a qualified officer. You are responsible for communicating every order I issue to the whole fleet while you are on duty, and I do not want to see anything unfortunate come into the wrong. ”

"Understood, sir." Luo Xiaochen replied firmly.

"Okay, you can go."

"Goodbye, sir."

After saluting the commander, Luo Xiaochen left Ed 'Mon' Sen's general cabin and returned to his post in the tactical command center.

Before returning to work, he took out the personal comprehensive information card he had with him and projected a small stereoscopic image in front of his eyes. It was a hologram of Dr. Chan Wai Yan.

Although he only saw her once, Luo Xiaochen clearly felt that he was in love with her.

After returning to his home that night, Luo Xiaochen couldn't sleep as peacefully. Just like the ancient "Book of Songs" 'chanting', "tossing and turning". In the end, this man, who always believed in his beliefs, didn't even make a phone call, and went directly to the refugee camp in the western suburbs of Pangu City, and went to Chen Weiyin's room 'door' in the middle of the night.

"It turned out to be you, Lieutenant Luo. Can I help you? ”

Chen Weiyin said in surprise. Because the other party came too suddenly, she was not prepared, and only wore pajamas and went out to meet the other party.

But it was this appearance that made Luo Xiaochen even more 'fascinated'. The white lace pajamas wrapped the sleepy 'woman', and under the gentle light emitted by the lighting array, it 'shot' the light of the beautiful 'waves'. In Luo Xiaochen's eyes, the one standing in front of him was not a 'girl' in the mortal world, but a princess who had just woken up in the fairy tale "Sleeping Beauty".

"Hello, Miss Chen." Luo Xiaochen always seemed polite, "Please forgive me for taking the liberty of interrupting." I had the privilege of seeing Miss Fangrong tonight, and I fell in love with her. It's just a pity that I'm going to be on duty with the fleet, and I won't be able to see you again anytime soon. So, I had no choice but to come and make my heart clear. ”

As he spoke, he took out a large bouquet of blooming purple roses from behind him, and said with enthusiasm and admiration, "If you do not give up, please accept my 'flowers' and promise to 'hand' me in the future." After speaking, he bowed and held the bouquet of roses in front of Chen Weiyin.

Chen Weiyin was almost taken aback by his actions and words, and asked a little overwhelmed, "What do you mean by this?" Let me be your 'girlfriend' friend? ”

"Yes." Luo Xiaochen said respectfully, and then made a promise: "I hope you can agree." I will definitely take care of you with my heart in the future, concentrate on my work and work hard for our future. ”

This way of confession, Chen Weiyin still couldn't accept it for a while. She hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take the large bouquet of blooming purple roses. The color of the 'flower' doesn't look very pure, but it's because of pure natural cultivation. Under the light, the purple roses exude a faint fragrance, reflecting the mysterious and elegant light. accepted the 'flower', which is equivalent to agreeing to Luo Xiaochen's request. But she didn't care about this meaning at this time, but smiled and said:

"It's the first time I've seen a man like you."

"Makes you smile." Luo Xiaochen said happily, "I know that this kind of behavior will definitely surprise you, and may even cause disgust. But, Miss Chen, in my mind, you are my Isolde. I'll be your Tristan too. ”

This guy who is Oriental no matter how you look at it actually quoted Western allusions to describe his love and the person he likes. Chen Weiyin felt that he was a bit contrived. So, he said unceremoniously: "Lieutenant Luo, don't you think it's too smart to shape us with a love tragedy?" ”

Luo Xiaochen clarified in a slightly apprehensive tone: "Please don't misunderstand, because I fell in love with you at first sight." So I think I'm like Tristan who has been poisoned by love. ”

"Huh." Chen Weiyin couldn't help laughing when she saw his very serious attitude, and said:

"Mr. Tristan, I hope that the poison of love will not affect your health. Although I have accepted the 'flowers' from you, for me, to accept the fresh 'flowers' handed by any gentleman is a noble power enjoyed by a 'woman', and there is no reason to give up the power. So, I'm not your Isolde yet. I can promise to be your friend, not your 'girlfriend'. ”

Although Chen Weiyin emphasized her conservative intentions, Luo Xiaochen was still very satisfied, and said: "Miss Chen, I am very happy to have made such progress. I understand very well that in order to get the heart of a 'woman', especially a noble and beautiful 'woman' like you, you have to put in more effort than ordinary people. Please rest assured, I will definitely work harder. ”

Chen Weiyin nodded appreciatively, and then said matter-of-factly:

"Thank you for the rose 'flowers'. If there's nothing else to do, Mr. Tristan, I'll have to go back to my palace and sleep, and you can go back to your Cornwall. ”

"Good night, Miss Chen."

Luo Xiaochen, who compared himself to "Tristan", saluted the 'woman' he liked, and left with joy.

"I'll do my best, my Princess Isolde!"

Looking at Chen Weiyin's ethereal holographic imaging, Luo Xiaochen said seriously. Then turn off the projection of your personal information card, put it in your pocket, and put yourself into your work.

In the depths of space in the New Roman Empire, it seems that the sound of a majestic horn has been heard. It was as if Heimdall, the guardian of the Rainbow Bridge, had sounded the Gjallar's horn, summoning the gods and heroes to rush out of Valhalla to meet the giants' onslaught.
