Him and their stars

This is indeed destined to be a busy March, and Yu Lian is indeed very busy. After he returned to Earth, he did not report to the military headquarters, nor did he return to his hometown, so he went straight to the Red Star Institute. There was nothing he could do. At that time, his ring still contained more than forty test tubes and a space bubble generator. If it took too long, he was worried that he would have long nights and dreams.

Then, he stayed at the Red Star Institute for three days, and he and two technical geeks were obsessed with playing with the machine. If Liuli hadn't reminded him, he might have been prepared to stay for another week until the space bubble generating instrument was dismantled.

In any case, Liuli is right. A mature man must put his likes and dislikes aside and do what must be done.

So, Yu Lian had no choice but to put on the snow-white navy captain's military uniform that Liuli liked to iron, and brought the iron spine keel that he planned to give to Mr. Chairman, as well as gifts for their whole family, and drove in his favorite painted car. The sultry red Nimbus 2000 headed all the way to the island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

However, when he was about to arrive at the Eternal City, the capital, he still felt that something was wrong all over his body, and he just didn't want to go there. He looked at the current time and found that there was still half an hour before the agreed time, so he parked the car outside the port. After thinking about it, he called Feifei.

The car projector soon flashed Feifei's figure, dressed in casual clothes suitable for a solo operation, wearing a black beret, and a camera hanging on her chest. Of course, automatic drones with cameras can also complete shooting tasks, but any photographer with some artistic pursuits will choose to operate them manually with their own equipment. At most, automatic drones can be used as photography assistants.

"How is the scenery in the New Atlantis sector?" Yu Lian asked with a smile.

"It's not bad. It would be better if the Grand Duchy of Hyal across the street didn't have a war with the Circassian Kingdom. I would have more time to enjoy the starry sky here and the colorful hills of New Rome. Unfortunately, now Almost every day, there are dozens of ships and tens of thousands of refugees attacking the border." Feifei smiled: "But this has nothing to do with me, my duty is just to record it all and leave it to the people above for analysis. .”

"We won't let you go deep into the battlefield to see first-hand information, right?"

"No, we have always been neutral in the war between these two countries. Now the only thing causing headaches to the big shots above is these war refugees." Feifei obviously didn't want to continue talking about this topic, but asked instead: "Yu'er How's it going? Did you encounter something troublesome? "

Worrying? So obvious? Isn’t it obvious that I have a cheerful and sunny smile?

"Haha, we've known each other since we were born, how can I still not recognize your August 31st face?"

The face of August 30th? What the hell is that?

"Isn't Yu'er always like this on the last day of summer vacation? Especially when there is no summer homework to do."

Yu Lian felt that this was simply tainting a person's innocence. A self-disciplined and hard-working "child from other people's families" like him has never failed to do his summer homework since middle school... However, considering that he still has a dark history as a naughty child in elementary school, Feifei caught him There is really no way to handle it.

As a result, he could only explain his situation.

"Isn't this good? Mr. Chairman, I appreciate you enough. If you reject other people's kindness every time, I'm afraid you will become enemies. Now, the members of the pro-Empire side of the Congress are against the Tenth The attitude of the Third Fleet is not very good. I heard that President Manson was also a little annoyed. If Chairman Nichita had not stopped him, your actions might have been designated as illegal. At that time, it was possible It’s not the military police, it’s the prosecutor.”

Yes, based on this alone, Yu Lian must accept Mr. Chairman's sentiments. If he declined the other party's invitation last time because he was cautious as a new officer, if he refuses this time, he will be the one who is rude.

"Mr. Nishita is indeed a person who means different things. However, the persona he has established in the political arena and in the hearts of voters is that of a tough, resolute and upright patriot, so this persona must be continued. I think so. I feel that when politicians present their persona, they are often more real than their true nature. Therefore, Yu'er can completely regard the other party as a hawkish patriotic politician, at least before encountering a big change, he must be People who do this."

What Feifei said makes sense, and Yu Lian thinks so too now.

"For a long time, he should be able to be Yu'er's helper. Of course, he may think that he can be Yu'er's benefactor, right?" At this point, Feifei's tone added a hint of joking.

"I understand, Feifei. Don't worry, we are also adults with normal emotional intelligence. It is not difficult to play a young officer who is grateful for the chairman's kindness." Yu Lian looked at the time: "Then, I This is over."

"Really, don't act like you're going to the front line! Relax, take it easy, it's just a banquet anyway." Feifei smiled and said: "Anyway, thank you for your hard work, Yu'er."

I always feel that the last sentence "Thank you for your hard work" is subtly irritating. It has a feeling of don't cry during the injection and I will buy you candy after the injection.

"You have to be careful over there. Although you are not entering a battlefield, you are facing a refugee flow after all, so the security of the star area can be imagined."

"Don't worry, I am a psychic after all." Feifei smiled.

Yu Lian thought for a moment, then suddenly something moved in his heart, and he said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the fight between the two countries this time is said to be about the tribute paid to the emperor in this midsummer?"

Feifei nodded and quickly introduced the situation.

To put it bluntly, the situation is very simple and very ridiculous. The Grand Duchy of Hyal is a vassal state of the empire, and is preparing to send tribute to His Majesty the Emperor during the midsummer God of War Festival held every five years. However, in order to prepare enough gifts to impress the Holy Emperor, Archduke Haiyal added a "tribute tax" to the citizens this year. The citizens, who were already very dissatisfied with the Grand Duke's chaotic rule, did not swallow their anger this time and began violent resistance to taxes, which eventually turned into a large-scale civil war.

At this time, the Cirke Kingdom, which originally had territorial disputes with the Principality of Khayal, launched a sneak attack on it.

Of course, it’s hard to tell whether there is a shadow of the alliance behind this. You know, although Cherk has not officially signed a military alliance with the alliance, their prince is still studying in the alliance.

The Principality of Khaiyar was attacked from two sides and almost lost its kingdom. But at this time, Imperial Dad finally took action.

Although the Galactic Empire did not directly send troops, it did allow several vassal states bordering Hyar to form a coalition. One of the elected emperors, King Thorane, arrived with a group of officer corps and astral knights, and naturally took over the command. .

The combined fleets of the imperial vassals beat up the leading fleet of the Circassian Kingdom and directly expelled it from the Khaiyar border. King Thorane probably felt that he had gained enough success and gained enough limelight, so he patted his butt and returned home.

However, the Circassian Kingdom was still one of the second-tier powers in the galaxy. When they heard that the empire's officer corps had withdrawn, they gritted their teeth and launched a nationwide mobilization. They also called in several allies and launched a second wave of mobilization. attack.

Then, what was originally just a tax riot turned into a protracted and bad war.

Up to now, this war that started in the second half of last year has lasted for more than half a year, but it is far from over.

"You see, the real victims of the war that broke out because of the greed and vanity of the rulers are ordinary people. So, Feifei, when you are interviewing, you can ask the refugees to talk about them. Tell your own story and let them recall their beautiful home and life before the war. Then ask them, who is the real culprit? I am looking forward to hearing their answers, the more the better." Yu Liandao.

"Although I still don't quite understand what Yu'er wants to do, it is indeed an entry point. I seem to have inspiration for my second work." Feifei said thoughtfully.

So your first work hasn’t been cut yet?

In short, as I said before, the propaganda front will start to be laid out from now on.

After the communication with Feifei ended, Yu Lian felt that he had finally completed his psychological construction, and his morale suddenly became high. The girl was right. No matter what happened to Chairman Keith Nichta in the future, it didn't happen after all. Moreover, after all, all his current policies are aimed at strengthening the army and the country. At least for now, they are good for the country.

Hey, even Teacher Li, whom I admire the most, would humbly call the Chairman "Chairman" or even "Jie Gong" to his face when necessary.

I'm talking about the one who lost everything in the stock market and worked as a nun dressed as a nun. He also got plum poison, so his penis could only be soaked in mercury.

What's more, our chairman of the committee, among other things, at least has thick hair, a tall, strong, handsome body, and a handsome figure. This appearance alone is indeed very impressive.

Moreover, compared to the hairless chairman whose academic qualifications can only be bought from Pheasant School, Mr. Nishita here has a master's degree in business and a doctorate in international law from Union Ocean University, and is a serious academic elite. He has served as a gold medal lawyer and a legal representative for large companies, helped ordinary people fight against illegal powerful people, and also helped his country's companies win international lawsuits. In addition, as a student, he also won the Galaxy University Skyball World Cup as the team captain and main scorer.

All in all, judging from the external image, Mr. Chairman is such a man of both civil and military skills, bravery and integrity, and he also married the eldest daughter of the alliance's plutocrats and lived his life into an idol drama.

What's more, the hairless chairman often fails to show off because he doesn't study much and has some academic qualifications. However, although the chairman here is a highly educated elite, he has always been known for being approachable.

No, let’s take this so-called dinner party as an example. Yu Lian originally thought it was another typical place that combined waste, hypocrisy and arrogance. The dignitaries were well-dressed, carrying expensive wine glasses and even more expensive liquors in and out of splendid places. Accompanied by top bands, they wore sanctimonious smiles and discussed with their comrades of the same class various ways of oppressing and exploiting the common people. Noble plan.

However, what Mr. Nishita called a dinner party turned out to be just a barbecue party on the beach at his private residence. This surprised Yu Lian.

Yu Lian handed the gifts he brought to the servants of the mansion, and under the guidance of a well-dressed key, he bypassed the main entrance and the garden, and when he came to the beach behind the house, he saw at a glance what was going on. His Excellency, Chairman of the National Defense Commission, was very busy behind the fireworks. A huge barbecue pit was set up on one side of the beach, and he was just wearing a simple T-shirt and an apron, and was grilling everyone in person.

On the beach, apart from a small number of service staff, there were less than twenty men and women present. Yu Lian glanced at them and found that he almost didn't recognize them, but they were all not very old. Most of them were between thirty-five and fifty years old. If they are all figures in politics and business, they are definitely a group of young and powerful people.

Of course, the only one he knew was Major General Azisha Mallowan. She was wearing a very casual off-white dress and was among the crowd, holding a plate and eating barbecue. She was chatting happily with several men next to her who were also wearing casual clothes but looked very elite. The expression on her face looked very... easy.

It didn't feel like a dinner party at all, more like a private party for a group of friends.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, this should be a kind of low-key luxury. After all, how many people can own a seaside private residence with a milky-white beach in the community capital where land is at a premium?

But no matter what, at least the atmosphere at the scene was indeed quite comfortable and relaxed.

However, upon closer inspection, apart from the service staff who were still wearing strict uniforms, the most formally dressed person present was actually himself in a naval officer uniform.

So you were waiting for me here? Humph, I won’t let you see the joke! When Yu Lian thought about this, he took off his coat with military rank badges, armbands and various accessories on the spot, and threw it to the steward who brought him here.

This butler was obviously a professional, and he had probably seen all kinds of customers before. He just wore an impeccable business smile, nodded gracefully to Yu Lian, and left with his coat.

Yu Lian strode to the barbecue grill and saluted His Excellency the Chairman who was grilling meat.

"Oh, Yu Lian, here we come!" Keith Nicita showed a hearty and smoky smile, and said in a natural, even familiar tone: "Steak, steak Lamb chops or fried fish? Take your pick! Let me tell you, when I was on the team, I was the number one chef. Every time we won a game, my teammates were waiting for my barbecue."

At this moment, even Yu Lian had to admit that this handsome, tall and bold man was really full of charming personality.

Thinking of this, Yu Lian paused for a moment, then smiled with a hint of mischief: "Children make choices, of course adults want everything!"

To his surprise, Mr. Chairman did show a hint of helplessness, but more of a look of relief: "That's great! Children who can eat meat are bloody. I like children like this!"

What kind of logic is this? According to what you say, those fat guys who have a barbecue all night are wasting their talents if they don't send them to the mines, right?

Humming a tune, the chairman took down fresh steaks, lamb chops and fish from the meat rack next to him, and started cooking them slowly. While grilling, he said cheerfully: "I also really like to eat barbecue! It's bloody and spicy. Young people who like to eat barbecue are all my half-brothers, Keith Nichita, hahahahahahahaha, just kidding~~~"

This uncle is really too sunny. If this is not his nature, it can only mean that he is a master performing artist who is so clever that he can even deceive himself!
