Interstellar Fairy Tale

When the door was knocked, Austin South was sitting in a high-back chair, flipping through a copy of "Battle of the Universe - An Introduction to Mobile Military" written by Cervantes, a well-known military theorist of the Republic of Seth. This book is very famous, regardless of the Republic of Seth or the military regime of Mars, this book is regarded as a must-read book for reservists. Even if you have already served in the fleet, you will still benefit a lot from reading it from time to time.

Before leaving office, Popoka, the former president of the Madoff Military Academy, once held up the same book in front of all the teachers and students of the school and said loudly: "How ridiculous! Such a great military introduction book is not from Marr. The hands of the people! This is a disgrace!"

It was because of Popoka's too many similar vehement remarks, or because he was an out-and-out Mars activist, in short, on the third day after his impassioned speech, Mr. Chancellor was arrested by Chief Executive Martin. Directly stripped of Madoff's position as president of the Military Academy.

It has to be said that in addition to being an activist, Popoca is also a very strange guy. After receiving the dismissal order, this well-dressed man with a meticulously trimmed beard turned out to be very happy, and only said, "Martin finally acts like a chief executive."

He was not chagrined that he had lost the title of president of the Madoff Military Academy, but that he was celebrating the arbitrary order of the chief consul, which was incredible.

However, in the second year, Popoka left his life in a distant colony galaxy because of a battle with the ship. And his words became the best last words representing his beliefs in his life, and were finally engraved on his tombstone. Next to the line of words, is another sentence from Chief Executive Martin to Popoka: "Popoca, this troublesome guy, finally shut his mouth and stopped talking nonsense."

It's hard to say whether Popoka and Archon Martin are friendly or hostile. However, judging from the fact that Martin will attend Popocca's funeral and read the eulogy, the former is more likely. Of course, this is also likely to be a political show. David South, the commander-in-chief of the Mars Space Fleet, also attended Popoka's funeral, and Austin was with his father in military uniform. At that time, Austin had not yet entered the Madoff Military Academy, and of course, he had not met Shang Ping. Looking at Popoka's tombstone, Austin, who is as beautiful as a girl, just thought that one day in the future, he will also enter such a square inch and sleep forever. I hope that at that time, his body can lie there completely, instead of turning into cosmic dust floating in the darkness. This not-so-sad funeral was the first time Austin faced death, realizing that he would be like this one day, and maybe before that, he needed to send off his father or brother. That's really not a pleasant thing.

That sounds a lot like a pessimist's initial lament, but Austin hasn't gone all the way down the road.

David South didn't know what Austin was thinking at the time. If he knew, maybe he would never bring his youngest son to Popoca's funeral, absolutely not.

Austin didn't understand why he suddenly remembered this incident a long time ago. He stood up with the knock on the door. He lived in a single dormitory, and the whole building was very quiet. If the knock on the door disturbed the people next door, Austin will be very sorry.

"Shang Ping?"

Through the visual screen at the door, the dark-haired boy was smiling at Austin.

"Hi Austin."

After John returned to the bedroom in frustration, Shang Ping decided to come to Austin. Although it was not certain that it would work, at least, in order for John to wait twenty-four years less, Shang Ping decided to give it a try. Strictly speaking, Shang Ping himself was also interested in Liu Xi, the president of the Republic of Seth who suddenly came to the planet Mars. At least, he thought that this handsome man was just a smart politician who would seize the opportunity to climb up, but judging from his sudden behavior, this man obviously not only has appearance and brain, but also has courage that ordinary people cannot match. . Although Mars and the Republic of Seth have not yet reached the point where they are in a state of conflict, the two planets seem to have reached a certain form of consensus in the battle that lost Royce. However, in this Mars government is trying its best to At the moment when the belligerent mood was suppressed, the President of the Republic of Seth, who was the cause of the incident, suddenly appeared in front of the people of Mars, and obviously it was necessary to take a great risk.

If there is violence against Liu Xi himself, the consequences are hard to imagine.

"Please sit down."

Austin was a little surprised by Shang Ping's sudden visit, but he politely invited Shang Ping into the room. Boys at the Madoff Military Academy, don't mop the table yourself - the smart cleaning robot will keep the entire room spotless. However, they must keep their personal belongings in good order, not to mention other things, including changed clothes and socks, must be put in the designated cleaning blue, and must not be stuffed into the bed, if someday intelligent cleaning robot While cleaning the room, I accidentally found something under the bed or in a corner of the room that shouldn't be there. A certain unlucky sloppy boy would never get a pass or above in the end-of-semester assessment.

Shang Ping and Colonel Edgar have lived together for fifteen years, so naturally there is no need to worry about this kind of thing. Even John was brought up by Shang Ping, and he was never caught once. Shang Ping, who stepped into Austin's room for the first time, suddenly felt that he was far worse than the blond boy in front of him. Looking at the books arranged in order and the intelligent brain of the seat, which was placed almost as if the angle was accurately measured with an electronic measuring instrument, Shang Ping began to suspect that this guy Austin wouldn't have some inhumane eccentricities, right?

Like cleanliness or some kind of paranoia...

"Whatever you're thinking, I hope you can put that thought aside right away."

Austin put a glass of juice in a transparent glass in front of the business plane, the primary color juice wrapped in fresh pulp. Just looking at it, you will think how delicious the drink in the cup is.

"You know what I'm thinking?"

"No." Austin shook his head. "But, I'm pretty sure that what you're thinking about now has something to do with me. Besides, it won't be a good idea."

Shang Ping touched his nose and took a sip from the cup. The sweet and slightly sour taste flowed from his mouth all the way to his throat. Shang Ping couldn't help but narrow his eyes. Is this also a privileged class relationship?

"All right."

Austin obviously stopped trying to get Shang Ping to dispel some kind of strange conjecture. He just wanted to know the purpose of Shang Ping's sudden visit to him. Of course, this blond boy wasn't naive enough to think that Shang Ping came to visit him late at night to discuss the knowledge in the classroom with him, or that he suddenly became enlightened and wanted to respond to his pursuit. Compared with the latter, the former was more likely.

"Actually, it's like this..."

Shang Ping also did not care about him, nor did he make any more modifications to his purpose, the language was straightforward, and he even stated the purpose of the trip confidently. His attitude was clear, and Austin heard it clearly. However, the blond boy raised one eyebrow and asked in surprise, "Shang Ping, why do you think I can do this?"

"I thought you'd say why you're helping John."

"This is what I'm going to ask next, but before that, please answer my first question."

"Last time, you helped me buy wine."

"Is that the reason?"

"kindness."

Austin was silent. He never had the opportunity to talk to Shang Ping in detail about this matter. He promised Shang Ping at the beginning, and he did get two bottles of wine for Shang Ping, but that did not mean that Austin went to know the law and break the law in order to please his sweetheart. Those two bottles of expensive wine were entirely from Austin's mother. When Ms. Diana knew that her younger son was troubled by her sweetheart's request, she took it out of Commander-in-Chief David South's collection on her own accord. Moreover, the Commander-sama didn't know about it until now. Even if he knew, he couldn't blame his beloved wife and young son, he could only grit his teeth secretly.

Of course, Lord Commander David Soth finally found out where the two bottles were. With the familiar logo and year on the bottle, Commander David recognized the bottle's provenance. However, this will happen much later.

"Austin, I just want to say that helping John realize his wish is one thing. I am also a little interested in Liu Xi. Don't you feel curious?"

Austin understands very well that he can indeed do this. He only needs to report to the principal and advance the next month's vacation. For the politician-turned-Principal Gus, the identity of Aiko, the commander-in-chief of the space fleet, is really useful.

However, Austin believes that it can't be so simple to agree, at least, it should get some benefits for himself. Didn't Shang Ping say that he was also very interested in Liu Xi?

Thinking of this, Austin's eyes on Shang Ping changed slightly. In a sense, this change can be described as obviously malicious...
