Section 6: Love, Friendship, and Enemies

Although Song Tingrong had clearly told him that he would not count Song Xiaoyu's marriage proposal on the planet "Tai Chi", Luo Bo still unswervingly regarded Song Xiaoyu as his fiancΓ©e. Moreover, Song Xiaoyu agreed to Robb in front of many twelve mayors and the media of the two countries.

This love is not only mixed with complex political and military struggles, but also highlights the longing of two hearts tormented by war.

Robb decided to find a suitable home in his wanderings, and Song Xiaoyu was also determined to find a firm home for his fate.

However, when the two met, the public media and public opinion were all pictures of Jiang Ziyue's declaration to enter the planet "Andromeda".

The "Star Destroyer" who had surrounded this planet just over half a year ago was clamoring to be killed, which cast a terrible shadow on the hearts of the people on the planet, especially Song Xiaoyu, who had become a prisoner.

In this situation, Song Xiaoyu, even if she was immersed in the warm and romantic atmosphere deliberately and carefully created by Robb, still felt uneasy.

Candlelight, flowers, food, aging, and handsome men still make her only remember heavy topics.

"Robb, will that Jiang Ziyue really lead the fleet to kill back?" Song Xiaoyu asked worriedly, the goblet in her hand trembling slightly.

"Don't worry." Robb replied confidently, then took a sip of the old red wine from the planet "Africa" of the New Roman Empire, and then explained, "We have an absolute superiority in forces and strategic initiative, and the enemy cannot enter at all. ”

"But last time, the military said the same thing, or let them do whatever they want in our country." Song Xiaoyu recalled the experience of being captured a few months ago, and seemed to be palpitating, "That dead bald Jiang Ziyue actually threatened me and sent me to an asteroid where I don't know......"

"Alright, Xiaoyu." Robb put down his glass, got up and walked to her, gently put his arm around her shoulders, and said, "I will not let you fall into the hands of the enemy again, I will always be by your side." ”

Song Xiaoyu raised her head, looked at him affectionately, and asked:

"You swear?"

"I swear!" Luo Bo solemnly declared, "I, Luo Bo, ask the Emperor and the Queen of Heaven to witness and swear hereby that I will always be by my beloved Song Xiaoyu's side for the rest of my life, and will not let her be frightened or hurt!" If there is a disobedience, the sky will thunder and thunder, and there will be no burial in death......"

He couldn't say any more, because Song Xiaoyu had already stood up, hugged him tightly, and kissed him deeply on the lips.

The bright urban brilliance of Pangu City in the distance has a unique style under the night.

Love has been sublimated, vows have been made, and this love is only waiting for time to witness.

Luo Bo hugged Song Xiaoyu tightly, feeling this wonderful time that was not easy, and also thinking about the road ahead. Then, he waved his free hand in the air. The smart speaker emits a melodious horn sound.

"Remember this tune?" Robb asked softly, and gently hugged her and moved down the hall.

"Yes." After Song Xiaoyu finished speaking, she adjusted her posture and prepared to dance with Robb.

"Two years ago, at your birthday ball, I invited you to the dance music." Robb said as he adjusted his posture.

"Yes, Around the World. I always remember. Song Xiaoyu said with a smile, and at the same time began to move with him with the melody.

β€œγ€ŠAround the World》。” Robb repeated in English.

"Are you going to take me around the world?" Song Xiaoyu asked sweetly. She walked on a soothing footing, tilted her head slightly, and stared at Robb with a confused look.

"Yes." Robb replied with a smile, "To be exact, Miss Song, I'm going to take you around the Immortal Spiral Arm Interstellar." Then I will be able to fulfill my vows and always be by your side. ”

"You're kidnapping in disguise." Song Xiaoyu's tone was a little more naughty.

"Sort of." Luo Bo said this, but his head shook slightly, and he added in a low voice, "When I saw you two years ago, my heart was kidnapped by you. ”

"You're blatantly cheating." Song Xiaoyu's tone was a little more dissatisfied.

"Not really." Luo Bo said this, but his head nodded slightly, and he added in a low voice: "There have been twists and turns in the past two years, and my heart still belongs to you." ”

"I hate your rhetoric."

"Then gag my mouth with your mouth."

Robb said and gave him a deep kiss.

When he hugged and kissed his beloved Song Xiaoyu again, he was already in the officer's cabin of the battleship "Yulapa" No. 2.

This new super battleship, named after the god of thunder and lightning (Illapa) in Inca mythology, has not only become the flagship of the task force led by Robb, but also the love nest of him and Song Xiaoyu.

Aside from Captain Scati, not many people in the fleet knew that Robb had brought his lover to the flagship. On the mixed federal warship, Song Xiaoyu took cover as a civilian non-commissioned officer of the Ministry of National Defense.

Although this time, Yulapa 2 led the newly formed "Klaus Liszt" task force as the vanguard of the extremely risky invasion of the hinterland of the new Roman Empire, Robb still went to great lengths to get Song Xiaoyu to his flagship.

This is a serious violation of discipline and a clear mistake of disregard for life. But Robb, who knows the risks and responsibilities, regards this behavior as their determination to love.

"Is this the rhythm of dying together, even if you die?"

At the "Aegis" Planetary Defense Forces Club, Colonel Edward Mandalay made question-inquisitive comments about Robb and Song Xiaoyu's actions.

"Robb, your behavior is really envious, jealous and hateful." Colonel Gunther Oswald exclaimed helplessly.

"I'm still too tender compared to your safari bushes." Robb flattered Oswald with an exaggerated expression.

"Hehe, the 10,000 women I've slept with add up to less than one ten-thousandth of Miss Song's value." Oswald laughed out loud.

In contrast to Oswald's joking attitude, Mandalay has always been serious, and he then asks Robb, "You really didn't think about the risks and consequences?" ”

"Yes." Robb replied without hesitation, but then shook his head again, "I imagined all the terrible consequences that could happen, but in the end, I still summed it up to one point, that is, you said, even if you die, you have to die together." ”

Mandalay shook his head again and again and said, "You guys are crazy. ”

Oswald raised his glass and motioned for everyone to toast, and said, "While you are young, go crazy, a normal man would do this." Robb, I advise you to have a wedding directly on the battlefield after your victory. ”

"That's what I'm going to do." After Robb finished speaking, he drank all the wine in the cup.

"Let's stop talking about women, let's talk about serious things." Edward Mandalay took the initiative to correct the topic to work, "Robb, you are well-informed, do you know what strategy the president and the Ministry of Defense have this time?" That Jiang Ziyue has publicly announced the expedition to 'Andromeda'. ”

"Edward, didn't you knowingly ask?" Gunther Oswald preemptively said, "You and I, who belong to different fleets, are gathered here to talk about women. It can be seen that the president and the Ministry of Defense have assembled the rest of our fleet and are ready to do a big job. ”

"What's the show? Are we ready to launch an attack on the territory of the Empire? Mandalay asked rhetorically.

"It should be. It's impossible for me to know the exact plan. "But as far as I can judge, the new generals, Manuel Velascos and Zhang Bingye, are enterprising men, and must have drawn up an offensive plan for the president." ”

Since the battle plan had not yet been released, neither Mandalay nor Oswald knew that their immediate candidate for the Federation would be the vanguard of future wars. Robb naturally didn't want to reveal the plan he learned in advance with his special identity.

"If I were your father-in-law." Oswald solemnly said to Robb, "After the victory of the 'Aegis' star field, he will wave his army to take the planet 'Iserlon', and then force the Imperial Senate to sue for peace, and then you can steadily encroach on the empire's star field." ”

"It's a pity that you don't have a daughter, and you can't even get a wife, so you can't become a talented father-in-law." Mandalay quipped.

"We can only be sons-in-law at the moment." "No matter what, I can only faithfully carry out the will of my father-in-law's president." ”

"I'm sure you'll be a good son-in-law." Oswald commented.

"I trust your vision." Mandalay said.

Robb looked at the two of them, smiled, and said, "Thank you for your trust. ”

"In the future, don't forget the two of us." Oswald still looked serious, "When you see your father-in-law in the future, remember to say a few kind words for us." ”

"It's a trifle that doesn't deserve to be mentioned." Mandalay showed disdain for Oswald's remarks, and then said with confidence, "I believe that Robb can be president in the future, and then I can be his defense minister, and you can be the chairman of his Joint Chiefs of Staff." ”

"You can say whatever you want if you brag about not paying taxes, and the inspectors of the IRS won't trouble you anyway." Robb laughed.

"It's better to bet on two beers." Oswald proposed.

"How to bet?" Mandalay asked with interest.

"As soon as one of the three of us sits in one of the three seats I just mentioned, Robb will invite you and me to have two beers."

"What if none of the three of us can reach it?" Robb asked.

"Then it's up to you, please." Oswald said with a laugh.

"Is this also called gambling?" Robb's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "I paid for winning or losing?" ”

"The family conditions here are the best for you, of course you have to invite them." Mandalay also smiled and said, "My salary and bonuses are not enough to support my wife and children." ”

Oswald also said, "I don't make enough money for my girlfriends to spend." ”

"Then I can't give myself unconditionally like this."

"Of course." Oswald replied cheerfully, "If you need anything in the future, speak up as soon as possible." According to you Chinese, it is not uncommon to go to the soup and go to the fire. ”

Mandalay looked at Oswald and said, "If I can do it, I will do my best." ”

"Just listen to the beer twice, and buy the promise of the two of you, I'm quite a good deal." Robb said happily.

At this moment, an orderly came over and whispered something in Robb's ear.

Robb immediately got up and said to Mandalay and Oswald, "There's a big man summoned, let's talk about it next time." ”

"Remember to say a few kind words for us." Oswald admonished solemnly.

Robb just smiled at them and left with the orderly.

It wasn't until Robb disappeared from the crowd at the club that Mandalay said to Oswald: "It seems that you are very optimistic about him. ”

After taking a big sip of wine, Oswald said: "As long as he does not die in battle, the future will naturally be bright and smooth." ”

"That's right, the son of a famous general, the stepson of the richest man, a mother with huge fame and super ability, and a group of deliberately cultivated senior bosses, who can easily get into the position." But when Mandalay said this, he turned to bewilderment and asked, "But why do you want to flatter Robb so obviously when this has little to do with us?" ”

Oswald looked at Mandalay and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you're actually trying to say, 'Why are you flattering him so blatantly?' ’。 ”

Edward Mandalay smiled in agreement, and showed his white, shiny teeth.

"Before coming here, Devona gave birth to a baby boy for me. I promised to marry her if she was alive after this mission and create a good environment for our son to grow up. So, I need to start investing in my son and my future. Robb is a towering tree that is about to grow. ”

"Congratulations." Mandalay happily shook hands and congratulated each other.

"Congratulations."

The same words, from Colonel-General Leonid Mikhailovich Lepnin. He added congratulations to Robb on his successful proposal to Song Xiaoyu on the planet "Taiji" earlier.

"Thank you, sir."

"This is Xie Liaosha." Lepnin introduces Robb to the new white Chow Chow after his arrival at the Aeguis Planetary Officer School.

"Hello, Xie Liaosha." Robb greeted the Chow Chow warmly.

The detached Xie Liaosha did not pay attention to him, but took care of his own activities.

The evening sky of the planet "Aegis" is already full of stars, and the Milky Way is already in the middle of the sky.

Robb accompanies the old general with a dog and walks along the grassy path of the military base.

"Earlier, I received a letter from Five-Star General Bloomberg, who said that the President and the Wehrmacht would have a * operation. When you all arrive, I am sure that the new Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff will have to fight the war and settle the situation. Lepnin's tone was full of worry, "I'm afraid that it will be the same as before, and the rear will be empty, giving the enemy a chance to take advantage of." ”

Although Robb knew what to expect, he still responded to the veteran general with confidence, saying: "Since President Song took office, he has been determined to forge ahead, take the initiative to attack, and intend to seize the strategic initiative. This time, I think it is also a regret that the 'Qin Shi Huang' plan has not been completed. ”

"Robb, the president has taken the initiative to inform me of the details of the 'Genghis Khan' plan." Lepnin said suddenly.

"What?" Robb was quite surprised.

"He wanted to hear from me. Obviously, he doesn't fully trust the two generals, Velascos and Zhang Bingye, especially your 'brother' Luo Xiaochen. Lepnin analyzed.

"Then your opinion ......"

"I'm totally against this plan. It's looking for death. Lepnin's evaluation was merciless, "Didn't you see that the new commander of the Imperial Frontier Fleet, Jiang Ziyue, has openly announced that he has entered the territory of the Federation?" Now they insist on attacking, and it can only be said that they have abandoned the safety of the entire Federation and the people for their own ambitions. ”

"The president is obviously determined, the enemy fights the enemy, and we fight ours." Rob did not quite agree with Lepnin's conservative position, "Not to mention that the planet of the 'new Byzantium' of the new Roman Empire is about to have a great crisis, and if we don't use this opportunity to launch a decisive ......"

"And what do you do to defend the borders of the Union?" Lepnin interrupted him and asked, but instead of expecting Robb's answer, he continued, "The Imperial side can completely break the tank and concentrate its forces to attack first. If we are forced to defend, they will serve as a diversion and give their country peace of mind, and if we insist on attacking 'New Byzantium', they will take the opportunity to start a scorched earth war on our territory, and we will not be able to afford the price of victory. That Jiang Ziyue openly announced his march to make us see clearly the difficult position we are in. ”

"But, General. When the enemy is in danger, we cannot afford to do nothing in the face of such a favorable opportunity. After all, only by attacking can we seize the initiative. Robb didn't give up his opinion, but his tone was a little helpless.

"You and Miss Song haven't gotten married yet, so you're busy defending your future father-in-law." Repnin laughed.

"You should have heard that the important reason why Chinese families are more harmonious than Western families is that Weng and son-in-law are like father and son." Robb also explained with a smile.

Lepnin put away his smile and said solemnly: "With our current strength, at this moment, it is indeed difficult to choose, or even a dilemma. Especially in the enemy camp, the existence of a genius like Jiang Ziyue has greatly constrained our actions. ”

Although he has been repeatedly defeated in front of Jiang Ziyue in the past, and can even be said to be humiliated, at this time, Robb still does not think that Jiang Ziyue is so magical and invincible. He told Repning his opinion of Jiang Ziyue's blatant announcement of his entry into the planet "Andromeda".

"Sir, I think Jiang Ziyue is bluffing. The crisis of the planet of Neo-Byzantium is probably difficult to solve even if the entire imperial army is thrown into it. However, he wants to lead the entire border fleet to attack our capital, which seems to be a bit of a lack of priority. ”

"What if he really attacked?" Lepnin immediately asked rhetorically, "Taking advantage of the battle of the 'Aegis' star field, he led a small fleet of cruisers, which caused panic in our rear. If it weren't for the fact that he was too obsessed with the ethics of a soldier, but threw away the shackles of moral nothingness, I think

Regarding Admiral Repnin's analysis, Rob agreed from the bottom of his heart. But when faced with a problem, it is important to come up with a solution, not to waste time talking about the past. Therefore, he asked the general bluntly:

"Sir, what do you think is the best way to deal with the current situation?"
