After the state funeral, the alliance rewarded individuals for their contributions to the war, and everyone who had sacrificed too much in the war urgently needed some encouragement and comfort to inspire those who came after them.

Unlike the gloomy weather of the state funeral, the day of the award ceremony was clear, and the warm autumn sun shone on the body to dispel the chill of the previous days, and completely relieved those who had come from the Western Hemisphere after a long period of darkness and cold.

The ceremony was held outdoors, Shu Yungui, as the biggest hero of this battle, was seated in the first row, on the left was Zhang Xiangrong, the commander of the Xihe Military Base, and on the right was Xu Wenzhao, the commander of the Xingliu Aviation Standby Station, but Xu Wenzhao did not come, the position was vacant, and he was sat by a strange man he had never seen.

Zhang Xiangrong, the commander of the Xihe Military Base, is a person who cherishes talents, and he heard early that Shu Yungui was originally going to be assigned to his subordinates, and he went to the Xingliu Aviation Reserve Station by mistake, so he always wanted to meet him.

Shu Yungui is a person who is not good at talking, and he can't learn the kind of sycophancy in the officialdom, but Zhang Xiangrong is a very talkative person, and the conversation between the two people often starts with Zhang Xiangrong saying three sentences, and Shu Yungui answering one sentence.

But the man in the suit beside them remained silent, and he was unmoved in the face of the big red man in the star field who everyone wanted to have a relationship with, just sat quietly, staring at his fingertips all the time, as if this award ceremony had nothing to do with him.

As the saying goes, there are hundreds of people, all kinds of ***, when he first entered the society, Shu Yungui can be regarded as what kind of person he has seen, so he doesn't think this man is so strange, but in the conversation with Zhang Xiangrong, he occasionally swept over, and sometimes he could find that the man was secretly looking at himself.

Sure enough, there are few simple-minded people on Wright.

When Shu Yungui sat up straight and wanted to talk to the other party head-on, his name was called on the stage, so he could only get up and straighten his military uniform, and strode towards the medal platform.

Two months ago, he was a League sinner who was about to go to court-martial, and he never imagined that one day he would be able to stand here and receive the "Alliance Peace Star" Medal of Honor from the Star Commander himself on the all-star televised broadcast.

I never thought that the thunderous applause at the viewing table really belonged to me.

Zhai Cheng smiled at him with satisfaction, and removed the recruit epaulettes on his shoulders and replaced them with two silver bars and a six-pointed star flower of the League Major's epaulettes.

Leapfrogging promotion, this is an honor that many young soldiers who have just stepped out of the military academy dare not think of, and it is also an honor that Shu Yungui fought for himself in life and death.

"Congratulations, from today onwards, you are the Deputy Commander of the Hope Star Alliance Starstream Standby Station and the Commander of the Rebel Mecha Formation!"

Shu Yungui's eyes widened slightly, and he couldn't believe what he heard.

"This is what your Commander Xu personally applied to the Alliance's military command for you."

Zhai Cheng patted Shu Yungui's shoulder vigorously and said, "Keep working hard, and look forward to returning to Wright Star one day to take office."

"Yes!"

Shu Yungui saluted him, and then Sitamons Feng, the chief political officer standing beside Zhai Cheng, stretched out his hand to him.

The old man's palm was very powerful, even no less than that of the young man, he shook hands with Shu Yungui and handed over the letter of appointment and the certificate of honor to Shu Yungui.

"It's just the beginning, not the end, isn't it?"

The sun just shone over, Shu Yungui narrowed his eyes slightly, and the face of Sitamons Feng in front of him was a little unreal in the strong sunlight.

He didn't understand what the new chief political officer was talking about, so he didn't answer, and the old man was not angry at his rudeness, but smiled kindly and majestically, signaling Shu Yungui to retreat.

Shu Yungui returned to his seat with a full stomach full of doubts, Zhang Xiangrong didn't know where he went, the seat next to him was empty, and only the man in the suit was still motionless like a statue.

Shu Yun returned and wanted to ask Cheng Sikong what his grandfather's words meant just now, but before he could take out his personal mobile phone, the man who had been silent for a long time next to him opened his mouth.

"Starstream Standby is a hard place, working there

It's hard work, isn't it?"

The voice was low, if it weren't for the other party sitting next to him, Shu Yungui even suspected that he wasn't talking to him.

He looked at the man, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and asked vigilantly, "Your Excellency ......?"

Instead of answering his question, the man continued, "Although the rebel formations have done great things here, wars don't happen every day, and you may need some other help if you want to get ahead in that remote place."

The man turned his head towards him, and the contours of his eyebrows and eyes under the pitch-black sunglasses made Shu Yungui feel extremely familiar.

Where have you seen him?

"What do you mean? You want to say you can help me?"

Shu Yungui looked the other party up and down: "But I don't even know who you are."

"Sometimes cooperation doesn't need to know who the other person is, just like the wind blows the seawater, stirs up the sediment and nutrients on the seabed, and nourishes the fish in the water, the fish don't know who the wind is, but they thrive because of the wind, and that's enough."

"You think I'm a fish?"

Shu Yungui smiled coldly: "What about you, as the wind, what do you want from the fish?"

"The wind and the fish are not the same world, and the fish don't need to know what the wind wants, they just need to care about what they can get from the wind."

"Oh?" Shu Yungui raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "Is there such a good thing in the world? I even now know that there really is a free lunch and the benefits of free in the world?"

"The world is so big, isn't it?"

The man's expression hasn't changed much, if it weren't for the alliance's ban on creating androids, Shu Yungui would even think that he was a dummy.

"Well, does Major Shu think we can deepen our cooperation in some areas?"

"I'm so sorry, my family has always taught me not to eat food, and although the lunch is good, I'm afraid of eating it badly."

Shu Yungui stood up and prepared to leave the table, and said lightly before leaving: "If the wind blows the water dry one day, my little fish will die too miserably."

The man's gaze did not follow him, but continued to sit upright in his seat, and when Shu Yungui finished speaking, he smiled slightly: "Don't always plan for the worst in everything, it's not good to be too pessimistic."

His faint smile reached Shu Yungui's ears: "After all...... It's just the beginning, not the end, isn't it?"

In the dazzling sunlight, Shu Yungui's pupils suddenly constricted, and on this seemingly peaceful planet, there seemed to be several forces mixed in.

He lowered his military hat and hurriedly left, frowning and walking towards the outside of the award ceremony venue, during which some people recognized him and wanted to greet him, but they were all ignored by Shu Yungui, who was in deep thought.

Shu Yungui's contemplation was interrupted by a few car horns outside the venue, he raised his head and saw Cheng Si lowering the window, his elbow on the window frame, and laughing at him from afar: "What do you think of so fascinating?"

Cheng Sikong came to attend the signing ceremony of the formal cooperation agreement between IAFA and the alliance government in the afternoon, because the war was almost defeated, and the alliance has newly cooperated with a number of institutions and organizations, including many advanced military equipment manufacturers and civil air defense engineering builders, all of whom have signed a unified agreement this afternoon.

Looking at the posture, the alliance is to replace all defenses at all costs and fortify underground military fortresses in case of a possible future invasion of the same type.

Moreover, Shu Yungui listened to the grapevine that the third-generation mecha has been developed and will be implemented soon.

This is naturally a great thing for the alliance army that has just experienced heavy casualties, all the mecha formations are looking forward to the implementation of the third-generation mechas, but the Starstream Aviation Standby Station is too remote, and I don't know when it will be their turn to rebel formations.

Cheng Sikong waved his hand at him: "Oops! When you get promoted to the ranks, you start ignoring people?"

Shu Yungui knocked his hand away, pulled the car door and jumped into the car.

Cheng Sikong drove over by himself today, and there were some materials stacked in the back seat, Shu Yungui sat on it, and Cheng Sikong's brows immediately wrinkled.

"Are your eyeballs ornamental? only

Can't you just move my papers and sit again?"

Shu Yungui didn't move, but instead reached out to the front row and closed the window, hugged the headrest of the front seat, and repeated what Simons Feng and the mysterious man in a suit said to him at the award ceremony with Cheng Sikong, and Cheng Sikong, who was still chattering and disgusting Shu Yungui just now, immediately changed his face.

"Looks like you're being targeted."

Cheng Sikong stared at the numbers on the dashboard, and said with a heavy face: "A rookie in the army, and you control such an important star domain channel and mecha formation, your every move is related to the fortune of many people."

"But that's your grandfather, and you suspect that the Sitamons family is also in collusion with some members of the Alliance military?"

"Not a doubt, it's a certainty."

Cheng Sikong's fingers on the steering wheel clenched into fists and said, "You just said that mysterious man with glasses, isn't this it?"

The image of a man pops up on the car display, and although the suit and sunglasses are different styles, it is obvious that they are the same person.

"That's right! That's him! He's also from the Sitamons family?"

Cheng Sikong nodded and said, "Yes, he is what I told you, my grandfather's proud protégé, Fang Yu's father, Fang Kaiji."

Shu Yungui suddenly had an epiphany: "It turned out to be him? I said that the more he looked at it, the more familiar he became."

"Fang Kaiji has eye disease, is afraid of strong light, and has always worn sunglasses all these years, but whenever my grandfather attends an event, there is a good chance that the person wearing sunglasses around him is him."

Shu Yungui looked at the man on the screen, and combined with what he said to himself just now, he couldn't help but ask, "Actually, I've always wanted to know, you said that after Fang Yu died, your mother and grandfather were angry with you, what about Fang Kaiji? As Fang Yu's biological father, what is his attitude towards you?"

"He is a very forbearant person, my grandfather has a bad temper, Fang Kaiji can go from a poor student with no background to the point where he is now, all because he works hard by my grandfather's side, admits punishment and admits punishment."

"After Fang Yu died, I only saw him once at the funeral, although it was sad, he didn't do anything to me, in comparison, my mother and grandfather may have more resentment towards me than him."

Hearing Cheng Sikong say this, Shu Yungui faintly felt a little strange.

"It sounds like he's reasonable, but how do I feel like it's not human? If I had a son, the son of the heir to a wealthy tycoon, who was killed by a step-son who was not related by blood, I would not give up."

"If Fang Yu is indeed Fang Kaiji's son, then Fang Kaiji will definitely not be able to turn a blind eye to you, unless he doesn't care about this son at all in his heart, or...... He's been patient, waiting for an opportunity......

Shu Yungui pressed Cheng Sikong's shoulder and said urgently, "Do you remember that in the audio file that Xi Zimo gave you, it was said that Fang Yu's father had cooperated with the interstellar poachers to sell the products of the Sitamons Group on the black market to raise the price?!"

Cheng Sikong didn't speak, the car was extremely quiet, and it took a long time to hear Shu Yungui speak slowly.

"You and Fang Yu blocked Fang Kaiji's financial path, do you think Fang Yu's death has anything to do with Fang Kaiji, and what role does your grandfather Sitamons Feng play in this matter?"
