Because of her considerable freedom, Chen Weiyin gave up her job at the refugee camp children's service center, left the refugee camp, and returned to her own research work, she joined a non-governmental organization dedicated to the study of deep space and the exploration of extraterrestrial civilizations, "Voyager 1", but the federal government did not allow her to leave the planet "Andromeda", so she could not take a spaceship with her colleagues to do field research work, but could only engage in theoretical research and data analysis.

As a scholar, Chen Weiyin was already very satisfied to be able to carry out her academic research, so she moved to Qingnian Town, a satellite town on the eastern outskirts of Pangu City, which is an idyllic university town with a beautiful and quiet environment.

The patron of Voyager 1 rented a small unique house for Chen Weiyin, a white house in the shape of a rounded box, floating on the lake, connected to the shore by a small pontoon bridge, the house is a classic "green house", full of modern color meters, energy self-sufficiency, intelligent humanity, Chen Weiyin can rest quietly here, and go to work is just a walk to the university campus by the lake.

When I saw Chen Weiyin by Robb Lake, it was almost dusk: on the planet "Andromeda", the amphibious stars "Machu Picchu" 1 and 2 showed a warm and romantic mood, and they slid to the horizon together, casting a beautiful golden light on the earth.

Chen Weiyin was wearing a white gauze skirt, but it had been dyed golden yellow, and even the bouquet of blue roses on her hand was dyed into golden roses, which made her look even more noble and gorgeous.

After Robb sent the bouquet of golden tulips, he said sourly: "It looks like I'm late!" ”

Chen Weiyin smiled and said happily: "No, the protagonist always appears after the prologue!" ”

"What an honor it is for me to say that!" Robb said movingly.

"Okay, don't say polite words, Luo Xiaochen and you both came to me today, presumably you all have a major mission to go!" Chen Weiyin is not only beautiful, but also intelligent, which is the biggest difference between her and her daughter, Song Xiaoyu, and what attracts Luo Bo the most.

"This is a military secret, you are spying on our army's intelligence!" Robb pretended to be serious, but there was a mischievous light in his eyes.

"Mr. Colonel, I am not qualified to be a spy yet, I am only based on past experience, and you always pretend to be light-hearted!"

Seven years ago, when she was still doing research in the New Roman Empire and studying for a doctorate, her first boyfriend Jiang Ziyue would always come to see her before going to work.

"To tell you the truth, my mother asked me to propose to a noble lady after I returned from duty!" Robb was a little embarrassed, as if he had come to find a friend to help him solve the siege.

"This is a happy event, congratulations!" Chen Weiyin showed a very happy look.

"Hehe, you would say that!" Robb couldn't help but let out a wry smile, and then asked, "Can't you see that I'm not willing to propose?" ”

Chen Weiyin did not respond to his words immediately, but held two bouquets of flowers and looked at the sunset in the distance as she walked.

"Can't you just say something? Viin! Robb said dissatisfiedly that the indifference of his beloved woman to his own affairs made him quite frustrated and disappointed.

Chen Weiyin smiled mischievously at him and said, "What do you want to hear from me?" You don't want to propose, you still don't love that girl, your family situation and identity are very special, love and marriage naturally can't be compared with ordinary people! ”

Then, she paused deliberately for a moment, and then said in a serious tone, "You are not sure whether you really love that girl, or dare not refuse your mother!" ”

Chen Weiyin hit the nail on the head in Robb's heart, but she stopped what she was about to continue saying, she knew that Robb needed courage now, the courage to fall in love with another woman, to overshadow the hesitation and helplessness caused by his mother's expectations and family responsibilities, and even the cowardice caused by this.

Of course, she can't say these words directly, whether Robb really loves her now, or just uses her to block the president's daughter, she can't be sure, only Robb himself takes the initiative to say that because of his love for her, he can't propose to Song Xiaoyu, that can confirm Robb's sincerity.

After all, Robb's current behavior is obviously oscillating between her Chen Weiyin and Song Xiaoyu.

Luo Bo also knows very well that his mother Luo Zhaobing's behavior is tantamount to forcing him to make the final decision between two women, he does like Song Xiaoyu, and after dating for such a long time, Song Xiaoyu has repeatedly taken the initiative to find him despite his father's obstruction, which shows that his love for him is indeed firm.

But on the other hand, he was really attracted to Chen Weiyin, and it was difficult to give up his infatuation with Chen Weiyin, at this time, Luo Bo envied his brother Luo Xiaochen, who was not related to him at all, that guy was lightly traveled, with a clear goal, and just pursued Chen Weiyin wholeheartedly.

Seeing that Luo Mo was silent, Chen Weiyin asked, "Why, don't speak!" ”

Robb smiled brightly at the fascinating woman next to him and said, "I think, you're right, I should be clear about who I'm really in love with!" ”

"So are you clear now?" Chen Weiyin couldn't wait to ask.

Robb didn't rush to answer, but instead proposed, "It's almost time, let's have dinner together, okay?" ”

"Of course, but you have to have a treat!" Chen Weiyin responded knowingly, she understood what Luo Bo had in mind.

Robb wants to give himself room to maneuver, after all, he has two women to choose from, the more women, the better, this is the nature of men, declaring the love in their hearts too early will only end their "good life", and on the other hand, this so-called "attendance", that is, the war, what will be the result, what kind of feats Robb will be able to obtain is still unknown, so he also has to look at the future development and act, especially in the relationship with Song Xiaoyu, far less simple than the relationship with her Chen Weiyin, affected by the federal national fortune, Political strife is strongly contained.

Chen Weiyin understands very well that the identity, status and talent of the man in front of her are extraordinary, and to tie the heart of such an extraordinary person, in addition to wisdom, she also needs to be patient, she is naturally willing to wait and see what happens, not to mention that she is not without a choice.

However, so far, Chen Weiyin still lacks a comprehensive understanding of Robb, and she still doesn't know that the man in front of her is running on the track set by her mother, whether it is career or life, he is still completely under the control of that wise and powerful mother.

When the dinner was over, as he was about to say goodbye, Robb suddenly asked, "Wayne, I think I am a decisive commander, but now I seem to be hesitant, will you be disappointed?" ”

Chen Weiyin was not surprised at all, she knew the meaning of Luo Bo's words, and she replied happily: "Fortunately, you are decisive in killing, not arbitrary!" ”

"Thank you for the compliment!" Luo Bo said as he reached out and took out something from his collar and handed it to Chen Weiyin, which was the white jade regiment phoenix jade pendant that Luo Bo wanted to give to Chen Weiyin when he was still in the prisoner of war camp of the New Roman Empire, their family heirloom treasure.

"Remember? This group of phoenix jade pendants, you must accept it this time! Robb strongly demanded.

"Your heirloom treasure, how can I take it!" Chen Weiyin refused.

"It's okay if you don't take it, at least help me keep it!" Robb changed his strategy, but it was the same old routine: "I'll get it back when I get back!" ”

However, this time Chen Weiyin did not insist on not reluctantly, she took Luo Bo's jade pendant, and then stated: "Okay, I will only keep it for you temporarily, and you will have to take it back when you come back!" ”

"Don't worry, I'll keep my promise!" Robb was solemn.

"Keep your promises!" After the end, Luo Bo recalled to himself and repeated the words when he said goodbye to Chen Weiyin, and now he realized that he was really too hesitant at that time, and he didn't even show Chen Weiyin's intentions, so that he is now carrying too much burden of thought.

Looking back now, he was still too attentive and lacked the courage to resist his mother's will, hoping that the jade pendant given to Chen Weiyin in the name of "temporary safekeeping" could play the role he expected during the expedition.

Robb knew very well that as long as he achieved another big victory in the empire, with the help of old commanders like Bloomberg, he could become the youngest general of the Wehrmacht after the triumph, so that he could successfully achieve the goal that his mother had planned for himself without getting close to President Song Tingrong, so that he could refuse his mother's request and get his true love.

Luo Bo, who was eager for victory, did not know that when he led his troops to the "Yi" star field to raid the scientific expedition team of the New Roman Empire, the federal capital planet "Andromeda" was besieged by Jiang Ziyue's "Zheng He" fleet, and even his daughter Song Xiaoyu, who was about to propose marriage, was also in the hands of the imperial army.

After the Bundeswehr was successful in the defensive battle in the "Aegis" star field, it did not change its established counterattack strategy because of the attacks on the planets "Andromeda", "Atlantis", and "Eden" in the rear.

Secretary of Defense Erik? Feng? Under pressure from the president, Vice Admiral Zhou Jiande was still ready to launch a counteroffensive according to the plan drawn up with Robb before, hoping to annihilate the remnants of the fleet of the New Roman Empire, so as to create extremely favorable conditions for the next peace talks to force the other side.

As a feint, Robb was full of confidence, and when the battle of "Aegis" had not yet begun, he learned that the imperial army "Zheng He" fleet had attacked the planet "Midgard" in a roundabout way, so he thought of using the same method to detour to the hinterland of the New Roman Empire and carry out a long-distance attack.

However, the path he chose was too long, and the journey of 18,000 light years was much farther than the 10,000 light years that General Xu Hongzhao led his army to the planet "Africa" last year, and the speed limit of the entire "Robb" task force only reached the speed of 6.7 of the "Akuberi" equivalent to 3.65 million times the speed of light.

However, considering that they were about to enter the enemy's airspace, most of the time they still sailed faster than light at the 6.5 speed of the "Akuberi" equivalent to 2.75 million times the speed of light, so that the vital "Akuberi" engines could maintain their maximum design life and be in good condition, and at the current flight speed, the "Robb" task force would still have more than 480 hours to sail from their target, the planet "New Byzantium".

However, the opponents who are ready to intercept them are also rushing forward on the way back to the new Roman Empire, from the interstellar planet "Yi" directly to the planet "Byzantium", with a straight-line distance of more than eight thousand light years, but to avoid the celestial bodies distributed in between, so the shortest route extends for nearly five hundred light years, Jiang Ziyue led the fleet to rush along this shortest route, but: "Zheng He" fleet has been on the expedition for too long, guerrilla most of the territory of the British Immortal Interstellar Federation, even if the personnel are complete and the fighting spirit is high, it still can't make up for the wear and tear of the machine. The effects of system aging.

During their previous attack on the "Yi" interstellar planet from the planet "Atlantis", they had rushed to the 6.9 speed of the "Akuberi" equivalent to 4.55 million times the speed of light, but at present, the vast majority of spaceships could only barely maintain a speed of 6.8, which was still too far from the original plan to rush back at a speed of 7.

Jiang Ziyue was worried, their opponent "Robb" task force had seized the first strike in this space race, and left the "Yi" star field on April 17, 2920 human standard time, three days earlier than them, if the enemy could also fly at their current speed, they could be under the city on the 24th.

Of course, that Robb is not a man who can only sprint, it is impossible to risk being spotted early and fly along the shortest route, he will definitely take a detour to more remote spaces, Robb has a lot of paths to take, from above or below the galactic disk, and from the outside of the Perseus spiral arm, he can choose.

Due to the proximity of the spiral arm interstellar space in these three directions, the Imperial Border Fleet has deployed a reconnaissance alert network and patrol spacecraft, Robb must take a large arc or parabolic route to bypass it, but he will definitely try to achieve a balance between concealment and efficiency, so he will not fly a high parabolic route below the silver surface in order to avoid reconnaissance by the Bundeswehr after the "Zheng He" fleet sneaked into the "Midgard" star field earlier, but grabs the outer edge of the reconnaissance alert network to enter the Imperial star field.

"I judge that the 'Robb' task force fleet is likely to enter our space along the course on the outside of the Perseus spiral arm!" When the fleet was changed to a faster-than-light state, the fleet was propelled and sailed in a reaction reaction, and regular machine overhauls were underway, Jiang Ziyue summoned his men to formulate new countermeasures.

He analyzed to the captains under his command: "My conservative estimate is that in 360 to 480 hours, the enemy's 'Robb' task force will be able to rush from the planet 'Yi' to 'New Byzantium', deducting the 72 hours or so that they have the opportunity to seize the opportunity, there should be 280 to 400 hours to reach 'New Byzantium', and the enemy should not fly like us like this, but it must remain there." Akuberi's six-point five-level speed is right, when Robb's father Su Yu led his troops to retreat, he could fly to this speed, and there is no reason why he is slower than his father as a son! ”

"Therefore, there is very little time left for us, at the current speed of ours, it will take at most 180 hours to rush back to the 'New Byzantium', theoretically speaking, the enemy has given me at least 100 hours to prepare to fight, but the theory is theory, the more time the better, but we can't change the enemy's speed, and we can't change the time, only change ourselves, I ask everyone to re-tune our 'Akuberi' engine at any cost, and we must be able to fly to the 'Akuberi' level 7 speed as originally planned!"

However, no one dared to respond to his request, there was silence in the conference communication circuit, not a single captain dared to come out of the air, their commander was too crazy, their crew was too tired, their machines were too old, and the fleet had reached its limit for the fleet that had been fighting since the end of the New Year.

In fact, in the fleet under Jiang Ziyue's control, the detachment commander and captain have a habit of only obeying and not opposing, not that he is stubborn and cannot tolerate the opinions of his subordinates, but that his decision-making is too perfect, and every battle will be won, and no one does not believe in his decisions and orders.

For a long time, the captain of the flagship "Siegfried" Rudiger? Captain Natzmer said: "Sir, the current 6.8 level is already the limit, the brothers have been fighting for four months, extremely tired, and our excellent warships, the machine is too worn, and it has also reached the limit of use, if you forcibly fly to the speed of 'Akuberi' level 7, not only will not many warships be able to do it, I am afraid that most of them will have to break anchor halfway and wait for rescue!" ”

Although the entire "Zheng He" fleet has maintained an impressive record of zero casualties and zero battle losses since its attack, the spare parts for logistics supply have been exhausted, and most of the logistics supply ships are loaded with only metal and hydrogen reserves and general spare parts plundered from the federal territory, and the most fatal "Akuberi" engine is no longer complete, and there are few spare parts left.

Next, the "Zheng He" fleet will carry out internal operations, but because it has to march at high speed, it will not have time to collect more supplies before reaching the target planet, but will lose the advantage of internal operations.

At this time, a captain boldly made a suggestion: "Sir, we really can't fly to the speed of level seven, and we can't even fly at the speed of level 6.9 that we have reached before, but we dare to suggest that we don't have to rush back to the planet 'New Byzantium' in a hurry, and go to the planet 'Arthurgard' to organize defense first!" ”

The proposal was a female officer, the commander of the 27th detachment and the captain of the cruiser "Skuld" (one of the Valkyries of Norse mythology and the goddess of Norn), Lotta? Captain Lewaldt.

Since she was once in the late Lota? The battle under Stoldett's command had the same name as her boss, so her colleagues at the time called her "Little Lotta", and she didn't have Stoldt's bald head. Although she has a German-style name, she is not of Germanic descent, her ancestors are from Cameroon, Africa, and she is a beautiful "black girl" with a peugeot figure.
