Hammer 40k: Far East Storm

Ever since Victoria shot old General Andreevich to death, her defense officers no longer looked at her straight in the eye.

Occasionally, those who looked straight at her did not have the slightest admiration or boldness that they should have after seeing a beautiful woman. In the eyes of those soldiers, there was only undisguised burning anger. If possible, Victoria had no doubt that these soldiers would burn themselves to death with the anger in their hearts.

The only reason why Victoria still stayed in the decision-making position was that old General Andreevich was a very good general. Most of his military groups were just like him, just pure soldiers, and obeying orders was their duty. Obeying the imperial class and strictly executing the orders of superiors has become something engraved in the bones of these defense soldiers, so even if they hated their superiors very much and wanted to rape and kill this vicious little girl a hundred times to eliminate the anger in their hearts, they still carried out Victoria's orders meticulously.

Of course, there were also guards who had hatred in their hearts and were ready to avenge old General Andreevich. However, under the external pressure of the Eldar, all these hidden forces retreated temporarily. At least on the surface, the entire army on the Golden Plains united around Victoria, obeyed her will, and actively prepared to resist the Eldar to the end.

In this situation, only Victoria herself understood how dangerous and embarrassing her position was. She felt like she was sitting on the crater of a volcano. Many times she woke up from nightmares in the middle of the night, and then curled up alone in the soft velvet bed, looking at the darkness in the room with her eyes open, and spent the rest of the long night alone until Sirius.

She didn't dare to close her eyes. She was afraid that after falling asleep, she would enter the dream again and continue the nightmare that made her tremble.

In the dream, Victoria commanded the defense forces to win the victory. After the celebration, a grand military parade was held. She was standing on a high viewing platform, and countless defense soldiers lined up and walked in front of her. When they walked in front of her, the defense soldiers in Fangzheng suddenly turned their heads to salute her as usual, but at this time she saw the eyes of these soldiers. Almost all of them had deep hatred in their eyes, and the anger almost burst out and melted her.

If it was just one person, it would be fine, but tens of millions of defense soldiers walked in front of her, and the look in every soldier's eyes when he looked at her fully expressed the meaning of "deep hatred".

Being hated by countless soldiers with weapons, any one of them could kill herself as long as he raised his gun, and only one person could start a mutiny by shouting a slogan.

What kind of feeling is this?

Victoria felt that her whole body was doused with kerosene, and in the sky, sparks were slowly falling like snowflakes.

In her dream, Victoria felt such horror. But when she got to the daytime, she felt that the dream was not just a dream, but more like a foreshadowing, because even in reality, the environment she was in was almost the same.

Although Victoria had been prepared for this, when she realized it, she was still panicked. She had been surrounded by hatred and dissatisfaction. The soldiers and officers were very dissatisfied with her existence. It was like a bomb that could explode at any time. Of course, dissatisfaction came from many aspects. On the one hand, because Victoria was just a little girl, most officers were not convinced that a young girl was her superior, but the main reason was that she killed General Andreevich.

What's more terrible is that not only the soldiers are like this, but now even the civil service system and even some political connections that she had made friends with before have a sense of alienation from her.

This is terrible.

The hatred of the soldiers is foreseeable. Victoria had already thought of a countermeasure before doing this. Under the oppression of foreign enemies, the probability of civil strife is not great. Just hold on for a while, and after repelling the Eldar, you will leave this star field with merit and the aura of a winner. Who will care about the opinions of these soldiers at that time?

But losing points in politics is fatal. Now almost everyone is wary of the little girl from Victoria's family and implicitly rejects her, just because she does not follow the rules.

In the political circle, people who do not play by the rules will be guarded against and rejected, because no one wants someone to suddenly take out a gun and make a hole in their forehead during a meeting.

After all, everyone is engaged in politics. It's just a matter of interests. It's not a meeting of gang bosses. It's too despicable to start fighting while talking. It's completely unacceptable to the old people.

So under the huge mental pressure, Victoria also felt tired.

As a young person from a genuine Victoria family and a genius from a politician's family, the girl naturally would not show any of the uneasiness in her heart. So in front of everyone, she is still the amazing and even terrifying girl. She still makes sure that every word she says is carried out. She uses various channels every day to send out signals for help to all forces in the depths of the universe and make promises that she can bear. She is still focused on her work and does not let others notice that there is something wrong with her.

But she really felt very tired, and she really hoped to find someone to talk to, or find a solid shoulder to lean on.

After finishing work yesterday, she heard the report from the chamberlain that the leader of the Knights Templar had returned to the Gate of the Wilderness and had captured an Eldar prisoner. Since it was already late at night when she learned the news, Victoria suppressed her mood and waited until early this morning to visit.

The first time she came, she was stopped by the orderly and told that the master was sleeping. So Victoria went back to her office to deal with official duties out of boredom. After lunch, she went to visit Li's room again, but she didn't expect this. The guy didn't even get up yet, he was still sleeping.

After all, Victoria was still a girl. Even if she was very good, she still had the characteristics of a young person. So she acted impulsively, ignored the orderly's dissuasion, ran to Li's door and started knocking on the door.

During the chat, Victoria herself was quite embarrassed to tell the story of how she came to find Li. As for her mental fatigue and inner fear, she naturally would not say much about these things.

"Anyway, I was impulsive the next time. Thinking about the time it was already noon, I thought you were probably still sleeping and probably didn't want to see me. So I wanted to talk to you specifically about why you were avoiding me. Then he knocked on the door regardless, and it had nothing to do with Mr. Orderly. He stopped me many times, but due to his status, he couldn't do more, so if you want to blame, just blame me. " While saying this, Victoria stood up, bowed to Li, and bowed and apologized: "I never expected that the leader was really sleeping and disturbed your sweet dream. It's really terrible. Feel sorry."

Damn it, the aboriginals are the aboriginals. It was only the second time that I couldn’t help but knock on the door wildly. Haven’t you heard of it even after three visits to the thatched cottage? He felt contempt in his heart, but naturally became carefree on the surface, "Forget it, sit down." Li didn't move, and he accepted Victoria's apology in a stinging manner. He said generously: "I just got up a little before. "I'm angry. I was in a bad mood when I just got up. But I can't blame you for this. After all, there are very few soldiers like me who are still sleeping at noon."

"Yes, when I heard the orderly say that, I was also very angry. I thought, this kind of perfunctory was really insincere. How could the leader of the Star Wars Corps sleep until the afternoon?"

Soldiers are disciplined creatures. There are strict time regulations for getting up, exercising early, morning prayers, breakfast... until going to bed after evening prayers. This is just the defense army. Military regulations are so strict, so the legend What kind of strict self-discipline and harsh life should the soldiers of the Star Wars among them lead? No need to ask, you can guess one, two or three just by relying on your imagination.

Victoria never imagined that there were people like Li in the world.

"Discipline is indeed very important, but mostly for new recruits," Li Xiaoxiao explained: "After going to the battlefield several times and walking back and forth between life and death several times, you can be considered a veteran. You said These disciplines rarely apply to veterans. Most of them adjust their work and rest time according to their own habits. Since I have just left the mission, I am a little tired, and the war may be over in a while. It's hard to sleep as comfortably as now."

"That's true. I'm satisfied knowing that you don't avoid me because you hate me. However, Mr. Li said before that you admire me," Victoria smiled and said, "Please forgive me for asking this shamelessly, you just Is this a casual compliment, or do you really mean it?”

It's really shameless. How could anyone ask such a question?

"I really think so," Li Yetian said shamelessly, "I never use polite words."

"Oh? Is that so?" Victoria's eyes flashed brightly, and she continued to ask: "Then can I know why you admire me?"

"Your approach is very direct. At times like this, politics or interests are nothing compared to bullets. To be honest, you are more like a warrior than a politician."
