In the letter, Su Ge'er sketched a prospect for his father that he simply could not have imagined. My father always knew that Su Ge'er was a smart and well-informed person, but he didn't know that Su Ge'er's information network and inference ability could be so shocking. Su Ge'er had the same attitude as her grandfather, that is, to let her father stay in Rhodok, but her original intention was not to let her father complete his studies, her original intention was: "This is the time for a husband to make a contribution." ”

Su Ge'er's letter said: "Dear Arcadio, you may think of me as a woman who only shows off her flirtatiousness, so you may not take what I am about to say seriously. But believe me, if you listen to me, then you can work hard for twenty years less, I don't boast at all. In order to convince you of me, I can briefly list some information that even those around you do not know, such as that your father was the boy of a bachelor in Rhodok, who joined the Northern Army shortly after the southern expedition of the former king, and was born and died in Rhodok for a few years; Your uncle Garcia, like your father, is a mountain man from the province of Viruga; And as far as I know, you ran away because your mother hated you and you accidentally killed your housekeeper, right? I think I've said enough, and that's only a fraction of what information I have, and if you think I'm talking nonsense, then all I can say is that I'm looking at the wrong person. You must be cautious about what I say next. ”

"I predicted that Kugit would be defeated when the Kugit attacked Swadia this time, but in the short term it will gain the upper hand. We don't talk about justice, we talk about opportunity. This war will make it clear who is a hero and who is a. War is an excellent litmus test for seeing the vast majority of a person's potential. My dear Arcadio, you know what, you don't have an advantage at all. That Wright next to you, you should learn more from him. Do you know? I saw him again when I was in Suno, and when I knew where he was, I had to admire his foresight, and you must know better than I did where he went, Fort Lundia. Now the eyes of the whole empire are fixed on it, and if he fails, he is no more than a junior officer, and he does not have to be punished in any way; If he had done his best, the young men who had come out of Fort Lundia would have coalesced into a powerful political force, and Wright was now in the midst of it, and if he was to become one of the nobles in the future, the young officers of Lundia, who were still unknown, would be the cornerstone of his politics. ”

"Wright is very smart, he keenly senses that the opportunities of the empire are scarce in the hinterland, so he chose to go to the frontier, and now he has got his wish. I was disappointed when I found out that he was going to the Eastern Front alone and you didn't follow, I didn't think about how you were still in Rhodoc. Until I knew you were in the Rhodoc Navy, you know? I almost doubt that you've been playing dumb with me to hide your cleverness. In this war, there are two places where young people will emerge, the first on the Lundia front, and the second, on the sea of Rhodok. I'm not saying this crazy, I knew a few years ago that Kugit was going to attack Svadia, this war was not a whim of the Khan, you just have to know from the ambassadors and merchants of Kugit how bad the situation in Kugit is. But did you know that this time it's not just Kugit's war against Swadia, the people of the desert will never be idle? ”

"A few years ago, I came into contact with someone from a Kugit purchasing group, and from there I learned a very interesting piece of news. That is, the head of this troupe seems to be very fond of circuses, and he often goes to the troupe of a man called Zaitsev to watch some noisy circus. This is not a noble preference. I sensed there was something wrong with this, but I didn't give it too much thought. But I always felt as if I had heard the name Zaitsev, and I thought hard for a long time before I remembered that during the North Sea War, which destroyed my family, a villain named Zaitsev served the Nords and later the Vycians in the North Sea swamps. Everything he did seemed to be to make war money and fuel the barbarian subversion of the Swadians, but when I investigated his whereabouts, I found that this man left the border every year from Reindi, then crossed Halmar, the new city of Kugit, and finally entered the desert from the Mazgen Pass, and returned to Saland. I can conclude that his slave trading and circus operation were nothing more than a cover, and that he was behind Salander's spy agency, if nothing else. ”

"Speaking of Salander, you should know that it migrated from the other side of the desert. Now the inhabitants of the continent are quite wary of it, because its appearance is always accompanied by war. At a time when the Swadias were running the southern steppes, it fought against the Swadiaans; When the Rhodoks were just recovering from the war, they attacked Rhodok again, and now it occupies the Garmic Fort in Rhodok. However, it has never fought against the Kujits, is it a coincidence? Of course not. The Salanders knew that their outrageous style had taken their toll on them, and they did not expect that the power of the country on the continent would be so strong, so they had to change their tactics and deal with the Kujits. In this war, if my estimate is correct, the Salander soldiers will definitely appear in the Kugit camp. ”

"I've said that I've said it here, so I might as well go a little further. The addition of the Salanders to the Kugit will pose a serious threat to Svadia, and who will save Svadia in the end? It's the younger brother who was swept away by Swadia, Rhodok! Of course, this is not an international morality, it is a naked interest. What is the situation in Rhodoc's country, you should ask your teacher Sabel more, I have read some of his writings, and this is a man of great insight. As for the goblin, well, he's a good guy. Let's go back to Rhodok, there are two factions within Rhodok's army, you should know. Your uncle, General Garcia, is the right-hand man of the Viruga faction, the predecessor of which was the main force of the new Rodoc who rose up in the Battle of Aaron; And General Enor, behind your headmaster, represents the strength of the resistance groups in Rhodoc and the old army that was broken up before. Admiral Enor's navy in Rhodok appears to be a defense of the country, but in reality it is a fight against the Viruga faction. Now General Enor's faction has fallen behind. In order to prove themselves, you can tell me, what is their best option? As a soldier, the greatest credit can only be earned on the battlefield. ”

"More than ten years ago, the Rhodoks lost Fort Garmic, which was the biggest defeat for the Viruga faction's army, and if anyone can recover it, then his exploits will not be underestimated. So I can infer that in order to fight for power, General Enor will definitely actively participate in the battle to recover Kamić. Now, when the Kugits and the Salanders join forces to attack Svadia, I think that General Enor's navy will not be idle. Rhodok will consider joining in the aid of the Swadians for his own sake, believe me. The Rhodok may not have joined in the first place, but as the war progressed, the Rhodoks would feel that joining the war was a low-cost, high-paying, and very decent thing to do. You know, I almost jumped for joy when I knew you were in the Admiralty. Listen to me, never leave the Navy. Your Uncle Garcia is a wise man, and if he takes the first advantage in the war, he will naturally be in the ascendancy, and will take more care of you; If General Enor is at the front, you will definitely become the trusted person in the new faction. Not putting all your eggs in one basket is indeed an old fox. ”

"Arcadio, the big time is coming. Maybe I'll tell you more later, but for now, I want you to seize the moment. Don't let me down, I'll wait quietly for news in Suno, please don't let me down, I want people to say your name in a respectful tone. ”

"I care more about you than that, and I don't care about you anymore. I hope you understand my mind. ”

"Say hello to your teacher Goblin on my behalf, I've received several letters from him, he's sent me some lavender specimens, tell him: I like it very much, but I already have other flowers planted in my heart."

"Your Su Ge'er, Yu Sunuo."

I can imagine my father's astonishment when he read this letter. He didn't tell anyone about this letter, he slowly recalled Su Ge'er's letter, and his heart was excited. When he was a child, he heard his grandfather tell him a lot of stories about heroic teenagers, and he always thought that they were some unattainable legends, but according to Su Ge'er's prediction, now the opportunity in that kind of legendary story has come, and he has to prepare half a year to a year earlier than ordinary people. He believed that if what Su Ge'er said was right, he would follow the path Su Ge'er pointed out to him, and it would definitely not be difficult to "work hard for twenty years less".

During these days in the army, my father's confidence in himself slowly grew through rigorous training. The man's heart to make contributions will always exist, and when his yearning appeared and became more and more intense, he looked at the beautiful words written by Su Ge'er in the sunshine, and felt a warm current in his heart.

He understood the meaning of Su Ge'er's last sentence. He knew that if he could do so much for him, Su Ge'er would never just be because of friendship. This confusion embarrassed him, and he thanked and accepted Su Ge'er's kindness, but he didn't know how to repay it. Suddenly, he remembered a flowerbed in Veruga, remembered a thin figure, remembered General Garcia's melancholy voice,

"Don't take her down".
