Him and their stars

Marshal Wuluoji didn't think this was bragging. The "old friend" he knew was indeed a heroic figure of this type. However, why are there no such heroes among the Circassians?

He closed his thick lips and awkwardly uttered a few onomatopoeias of unknown meaning. He then closed his mouth, as if even the thick muscles on his cheeks were twitching with struggle and bitterness.

After a while, he finally spoke, his voice still bitter: "Yes, Mr. Tan, you are right. He is a hero, and the soldiers and civilians of the community are also heroes. You and the empire have been on the same page. For a year, those dragon kings have never been able to take any advantage, but we, a country that prides itself on being the frontline fighter against the empire, have not been able to hold on for even a day..."

In fact, I didn’t even last two hours. It only took less than a hundred minutes from the arrival of the Barbarossa in Catun to the king's surrender. The Galactic Empire always seems to want to use this extreme time to show their power.

"From the time we joined the army, we were taught, trained, and fought to hate the Khaiyars and the imperial people behind them. Then, the Cherk fleet did not fire a single shot and allowed our country to change its color. . A coward like me only dares to hide in his own turtle shell. How can I judge a true brave man?"

He opened his big mouth, and his two round eyes clearly shone with a desolate and humble aura.

But this time, Tan Jize did not pursue the victory. He even suppressed his smile and said seriously: "You did not surrender, and neither did the Cirke people."

"Mr. Tan, if you are comforting me, I would be very grateful, but..."

Tan Jize waved his hand with a smile: "We are not talking about business. There is no need for me to say such polite words to you. Although Cherk has opened up the border with Feimo and allowed the imperial fleet to enter the country, as far as I know, the hand The local powerful factions with military power sent people to guard military key points and did not allow the empire to enter their defense zones. "

This was actually an act of warlords taking advantage of the chaos to seize territory, but the other party interpreted it as a patriot spirit.

Marshal Wuluoji was not sure for a while whether the other party was acting strangely. However, he had to admit that he was indeed very useful, so he quickly waved his hand and said calmly:

"But that's all. Mr. Tan, I can only do this. The current one who is the new Prime Minister, His Royal Highness... Hahaha, who knows if he will become the new king one day? But, whether he is the prime minister or the king, he has little prestige, so how can he convince us military commanders to obey the orders of the new government? Mr. Tan, we are just a group of Catun pike, riding a maned snapping turtle to death. We’re just working together to take advantage of the chaos to carve out territory in the pool.”

"I understand that what you are afraid of is only the empire, not the so-called Prime Minister of Katun who became a traitor." Tan Jize said.

"You can actually use the word 'fear'." The marshal still looked magnanimous, even to the point of giving up on himself:

"We have been taught to hate the Empire, but we fear him, and even worship him to our core. It is ridiculous. Without the support of the Alliance, why would a group of snapping turtles bar their teeth at a dragon? But we also know that the Empire cannot To completely annex Cherk. The worst case scenario is to imitate the likes of Kaitai and Bakwe. So, why can’t it be me?”

"I understand. The reason why the military commanders and provincial governors of the Circassian Kingdom guard the passes and expand their territory is to negotiate with the empire in disguise." Tan Jize added.

The marshal nodded and placed his arm, which looked like a rock, on the table:

"You see, Mr. Tan, once a soldier abandons his bottom line and becomes a so-called warlord, he is not far away from degenerating into a despicable hawker."

"But, you are still different. As far as I know, since the Empire occupied Katun, you are the only military commander who has opened fire on the Empire."

This happened last week, on May 28th. The main purpose of the imperial fleet coming from the Fermor Starfield is of course the Chero Fortress where Brunhilt is located, but when they march, they will inevitably deviate from the main channel controlled by their own side and approach some important pass systems.

This is of course to test the reactions of the various Cirke warlords and prepare for the next step.

In most cases, the troops of the Circassian warlords just stared at each other and flew with the imperial fleet. But only Marshal Uroji gave the direct order to fire. Although this attack was basically intimidating and caused no casualties, it was indeed a rare act of courage.

After the bombardment, the imperial fleet did leave the line of fire, as if it was really intimidated.

"Your actions are exemplary and will definitely inspire others." Tan Jize said.

"I don't have such hope." The marshal forced a smile.

"You also cut the materials of the Imperial Army. The batch of materials transported from the Sanqi Star Domain are prepared for the empire." "Anyway, it is the energy block electromagnetic and artillery. Which ship is not used? Well Well, I don’t want to find a way to add some trouble to the empire. I’m really upset, old turtle.” Marshal Wuluoji retracted his sturdy and huge body back to the sofa, and slowly spoke out a hoarse voice from his nasal cavity. :

"But you really don't have to expect much from me, Mr. Tan. I don't know how long this bottom line can last. I don't know when I will have to accept the price offered by the empire. Mr. Tan, the empire's lobbyist In fact, I have been here once and said that the last border crossing was a misunderstanding and that I used an expired star map. Those supplies were also given to me. I will need to be more involved in the future affairs of the country, as the Prime Minister and the Minister of Defense. Regent, I'll take my pick. If I want, there will be a seat for me in the Heraldry Court in Tianyu."

Tan Jize smiled and said a truly sarcastic remark: "In the Imperial Heraldry Academy, there are indeed non-human hereditary nobles, but none of them can be passed down for more than five hundred years."

The marshal smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, that's it. I also said this to the lobbyists of the empire, but they said that the King of Cherk over Katun can also change his master at the appropriate time."

Tan Jize smiled and said something fair: "This is indeed a price that is hard to refuse!"

"Oh, the empire does underestimate the heroes of the world. I have been studying, training, fighting, and learning to hate the empire all my life. I can't say that my ancestors have been loyal for generations, but they have always been responsible for their duties. I will not be reduced to Kaitai no matter what. The orang-maned ones... However, I can only do this." Marshal Wuluoji didn't feel proud at all, but felt guilty and didn't even dare to look into Tan Jize's eyes;

"Mr. Tan, go tell General Yu that I am indeed sorry for my old friend. The most I can do is protect one side of Sangzhi, but it is absolutely impossible to actively attack the empire and cooperate with him in fighting. And..."

"And?" Even when he was asking, Tan Jize didn't show too much aggression, it was more like he was joking along with the other party.

Faced with such communication, the Circassian marshal could only sigh helplessly: "...and if something unspeakable really happens, in order to survive with the more than 30 billion soldiers and civilians in the military region, Maybe I will make some sensible choices. But the high-sounding words I said today are all scolding myself."

The so-called "unbearable thing to say", of course, refers to the destruction of the community. In fact, when the imperial fleet arrived at Chiero, normal people could see that the community's strategic situation was already at an extremely disadvantageous position.

Tan Jize's eyes were still kind, he nodded slightly, and his attitude was still sincere: "I understand. Doing your best, even if it means sacrificing your reputation, is just to protect a country, and you are still the most amazing hero. Marshal, the education I have received tells me that , First of all, we must learn to understand and communicate, and never force others to do anything. Please believe that I am not Commander Yu’s lobbyist. He doesn’t even know that I am here.”

Marshal Wuluoji naturally didn't believe it, but after thinking about it, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be talking to himself from the beginning of the meeting, like an old man who talked nonsense.

"Then you still say you are his subordinates?"

"I am a member of the Pioneer Party, and he is the founder of the Pioneer Party. Rounding it off, he can be considered a subordinate."

The Circassian marshal was stunned for a long time, and then he laughed dumbly: "I have been fooled."

"I am indeed here for the fugitives who are traveling with me. They have rented a field in Sanqi for farming."

"You don't want me to protect them, do you?"

Tan Jize was noncommittal and opened the small iron box he carried with him, revealing the green grass dumplings inside: "They make grass dumplings from Sanqi species of blue-scale grass, and the seeds are brought from the empire. I hope you can purchase them. products.”

Bluegrass is a unique forage containing protein. Grass dumplings made from this plant are a very favorite snack and field ration for the Circassian people. However, the cultivation and planting of this grass seed are technical tasks and are basically controlled by the empire and the alliance.

A veteran like Marshal Wuluoji would of course know as soon as he heard it that the dumplings brought by Tan Jize were of the highest quality. If the price was moderate, it would be great to have another purchasing channel.

...However, even if the price is slightly expensive, it still has a reputation.

Of course, this kind of business is too trivial for the mighty Cirke warlord.

Marshal Wuluoji said: "Mr. Tan, if you are doing the job of a salesman, your standards are too high."
