Him and their stars

"I am just a newborn calf. After all, I am a scholar and rarely know soldiers. How can I understand the ever-changing changes on the battlefield?" Regarding Yu Lian's praise, this new politician who is about to turn seventy is still very satisfied. Modesty: "Brother Yu Lian, I can see now that whether a literati is a feudal literati or a people's literary and art worker depends on whether he always talks nonsense in areas that he does not understand at all."

Very representative! Yu Lian gave a thumbs up.

"From this perspective, literati, media people, legal scholars, economists, and even all social science practitioners all have the same moral character. They cannot be accustomed to it."

Very summarizing! Yu Lian gave two thumbs up.

Even so, Mr. Qi was still unavoidably sad about the fall of the far shore defense line. When it was almost certain that Admiral Sylvester was martyred, he even remained silent for a full minute before saying in a solemn voice: "That little brother is actually not good at all." He looks too much like a serious soldier, but a very enterprising businessman.”

Senior Sylvester, who is less than sixty years old, is indeed the "little brother" in front of Mr. Qi, but judging from the title, the relationship between the two is actually very deep, which Yu Lian did not expect.

However, considering that Mr. Qi has been neighbors with the Far Coast Military Region in the three years since he has been in charge of New China, and the two sides have also consolidated a lot of economic and trade affairs, it is understandable that they will have some personal friendships.

"Speaking of which, the twelve sets of artificial suns on Baichuan Star were actually installed and debugged by engineers from the far coast. In exchange, I left him a seaside villa on Mingxia Island. That house has already gone up. Five times. Of course, this was before the war."

"I know that. And I also know that in the new area of ​​Saide Fortress, he has reserved an entire new Chinese customs street specializing in specialties for you."

"Yes. However, the Saide New District that Brother Xi spent a lot of money to build has been launched out of the city by you like a rolling log."

"So we harvested a Titan. The old senior made a lot of money from this business."

"Yes, he is really a good businessman, and he is also an excellent builder. He must be the best ruler. Brother Yu Lian, I have really considered developing him into the Pioneer Party. If he retires in the future If you can take over my or Brother Bai's position, you can partner with Jessica for at least another ten years. By then, your age and qualifications will be a natural fit in all aspects."

"You are really thinking long-term. However, Senior Sylvester cannot actually be regarded as our comrade. He is just a collaborator or fellow traveler who has the ability and perspective and is trustworthy to a certain extent."

Yu Lian knew that what he said now was not only disgraceful but also extremely arrogant, but if he didn't say some things first, he might have to go under the knife if he said them again in the future.

Mr. Qi didn't mind: "I know. So I gave up later, and then the war started."

"Actually, senior Sylvester is also a good general. Who said that construction is not the job of soldiers?"

"You're right, I'm superficial. Hey, a literati knows little about soldiers. Isn't it normal to not understand?"

The two looked at each other and smiled. Mr. Qi even poured three glasses of white wine across the Milky Way, probably wiping it on the far bank and saluted from a distance, and then drank it all by himself.

Having said that, it's okay for you to drink for the old senior. What kind of trouble will you cause if you drink for me? Yu Lian always felt that something was wrong, so he opened a glass of Bing Kuo Luo for himself on the spot.

"That's all, the past is over." Mr. Qi finished his drink and put all the memories behind him. He regained his composure again: "You and General Yang have both told me more than once that the direction of congestion can only be maximized. It is impossible to defend by killing and injuring the enemy. However, we always have illusions before the real situation occurs. "

"In fact, after the empire has piled up six Titan ships, it is difficult to achieve the so-called tactical goal of 'maximum damage to the enemy'."

"You crippled the Tirero and the Yongjin, and even robbed a dragon ship. Before completely evacuating the fortress, you must find a way to tear the flesh from the empire. This is your plan. ”

"If I said that my original plan was to sink another Titan and capture the dragon ship, I would just take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the situation. Would you believe it?"

Mr. Qi was stunned for a moment, then he pointed at Yu Lian and laughed: "Very good, so energetic! As expected of you! Now you should know where your curse comes from, right?"

However, Yu Lian said that he was really not just talking, everything was really the result of adversity and the choice of fate and history.

"The matter has come to this, and we still have to look forward. The war has entered the next stage, which should also be a more cruel stage."

Yu Lian nodded slightly: "In the eyes of some people, this is already a desperate situation."

"There is never a desperate situation in the world. This word can only be found in the dictionary of cowards." Mr. Qi shook his head. There was no unruliness of a scholar in his eyes, only the unyieldingness of a soldier: "Brother Yu Lian, I have never doubted that we can achieve the final victory. Even if we can win the final victory. It was the fall of the Far Coast, the fall of Nantianmen, and even the fall of the earth. Do you know when this confidence began?"

"...Uh, the first battle of Saide? The Blood Gate? Or the High Sea?"

Yu Lian's answer made Mr. Qi shake his head repeatedly.

"It must be the 250th God of War Festival."

"That's really an honor." Yu Lian's answer was a little listless.

For Yu Lian himself, the charge at the God of War Festival didn't really give him much sense of accomplishment. To put it bluntly, in another timeline, whether it was the Star Knight or the stupid son of an imperial noble, they were already small monsters that he had vomited, and there was no shortage of examples of winning more with fewer troops. However, the victory as a commander was a completely different experience.

"Many people have high hopes for you, and it actually started at that time." Mr. Qi said again.

I've heard this once, and it still feels fresh when I hear it now.

"Sure enough, people's hope comes from brute force." Yu Lian said in a muffled voice.

"No, people's hope actually comes from courage." Mr. Qi said solemnly.

Well, there will always be discrepancies between the public's cognition and your own. And for such a miserable creature as human beings, the most difficult thing is perhaps to recognize oneself.

Mr. Qi said: "In the past six months, the total number of people entering New Shenzhou from the Far Shore has reached 750 million. Of course, because we have prepared food reserves and community construction in advance, we don't worry about resettlement issues."

"This is thanks to the construction experience when developing Baichuan Star before." Yu Lian said.

However, it is still a little small!

The entire Far Shore Star District is home to more than 20 billion people. Their large-scale migration began as early as the outbreak of the war, but the main destination is still the more densely populated local star districts. If they were not forced, who would want to go to a remote place like New Shenzhou?

The number of immigrants in New Shenzhou really began to increase exponentially, and it was only this year that it started.

This is naturally because Mr. Qi did a lot of work in private; Zhixia and Lilia even brought the Lumina Corps and the Light Track Military Police to cordially talk to the Far Shore Star District Government of New Shuntian about many reasons. In this way, the masters of the Far Shore Star District were finally willing to cooperate.

But even so, the immigration efficiency can only be said to have just exceeded Yu Lian's worst estimate.

It can only be said that most citizens still don't feel much about the upcoming "fallen life".

Mr. Qi added: "I have also talked to the star district government, and they still decided to stick to their posts. There are still more than 10 billion residents in the Far Shore Star District, and they have nowhere to go. The governments at all levels in the star district have decided to advance and retreat with them. Well, it does make sense, and I have nothing to say."

Yu Lian suddenly discovered that after Mr. Qi became the governor of the star district for three years, his personality has become more and more peaceful, and he is also very good at unity.

If it were before, he would definitely say sarcastically: "Advance and retreat together? You should be waiting to be a dog for the emperor, right?"

Yu Lian's eyes were immediately relieved and warmed up.

Of course, Mr. Qi saw Yu Lian's expression clearly, but he showed a smug look: "I am an old man who is almost 70 years old, of course I can grow up. Workers are learning until they die."

Besides giving a thumbs up, what else can Yu Lian say?

"Besides, you don't want the politicians and bureaucrats in the Far Shore Star District." Mr. Qi smiled.

"... Well, in fact, professional bureaucrats are still needed. For example, Mr. Bernard, they will take as much as they want. They really don't have much subjective initiative, but as long as someone can kick their asses hard, they must be the most professional executors." Yu Lian still added objectively.

Mr. Bai ignored it and continued: "Most of the technical personnel of Xinshuntian Shipyard and Arsenal have settled down. According to your prior plan, half of them will stay in Baiyujing to expand the factory and production here, and half will go to Tianshu to build a new factory."

This is a pleasant surprise.

"The Xinshuntian government didn't stop it?"

"After all, the Lumina Corps and the Light Track Military Police have been in Xinshuntian. Moreover, they probably think that handing over the factory and machinery to the new master should be worthy of the emperor's great grace."

Well, it's still Mr. Qi. No matter how much he emphasizes unity, his true nature will definitely be exposed.

Of course, the politicians and bureaucrats of Xinshuntian are not doing nothing. They still sent most of the teachers and students of Xinshuntian Polytechnic University, as well as a batch of expensive teaching and experimental equipment to Xinshenzhou. Now, Mr. Qi has arranged for him to continue his classes at Baiyujing Higher Technical College.

This is of course an unexpected surprise.

From a well-known polytechnic university in the universe to a technical school, it is indeed a serious downgrade. However, in wartime, being able to go to school is the greatest happiness.

Some students wanted to sign up for the army, but were persuaded by Mr. Qi to go back. He told everyone that studying is their battle now.

The passionate students will not listen to the politicians, but they will definitely listen to the universe-level writers.

In addition to the industrial workers and universities of Xinshuntian, there are also agricultural reclamation companies from New Tennessee, a large number of experienced cowboy groups who help the elderly and children; related practitioners in the marine and aquaculture industry from New Seville.

Of course, there is also someone's base, the metallurgical workers from Lumina and their families.

There are about five million of these people, four million humans and one million Lumina people.

It was even less than Yu Lian had imagined, even lower than the average of the entire far coast.

Mr. Qi said: "You should know that the Lumina people are actually a race that is attached to their land."

"I understand. So now the five Lumina warrior groups add up to more than 20,000 people, but the Lumina crew totals less than 1,000 people." Yu Lian said.

Even among the Lumina technicians who went to Xinyumen to support the construction, only more than 10,000 people stayed in the area.

"The representative of the Red Maple Factory told me that Lumina is an old district, how can we just give it up? Then, I have no reason to persuade them to give up their homes."

Yu Lian was silent for a moment, but then just nodded calmly: "I understand."

This was all his reaction to this matter.
