Chapter 104 Chapter 104
Because it was a private meeting, the location was set in a low-profile side hall.
Compared with He Yunting and Xu Zhiheng, who were dressed formally, the man standing in front of the window looked very casual.
Compared with the Earth Age, returning to the political system of dualist constitutional monarchy has many disadvantages, but it can better hold power in its hands and develop military power faster under unified high-pressure centralization. This is why the empire can step forward The reason why we have come so far in one step and no one dares to mess with him.
Even the side hall is extremely gorgeously decorated, with the Baroque style permeating every detail. The tops of complete stone columns are inlaid with golden capitals, the ceilings are painted with exquisite large-scale oil paintings, and white reliefs extend along the long and magnificent corridors. .
Wen Zhao wore a velvet jacket casually, and his eyes fell on the fountain sculpture with exquisite lines outside the window.
He has slightly long black hair and a slight hint of tiredness on his face, which has reduced some of his sharpness, but still has an innate and unique aura.
His fingers seemed to be playing with something, and his movements were leisurely.
Seeing the two people coming, he withdrew his gaze, raised his hand to let the two of them do not have to bow politely in private situations, and sat down again.
"Thank you for your hard work, General." Wen Zhao's voice was quite gentle, and he turned to look at Xu Zhiheng, "I have long heard that Professor Xu's academic achievements have reached the pinnacle. I have admired him for a long time."
Xu Zhiheng nodded in response without being humble or arrogant.
"Don't be too formal, just talk casually," Wen Zhao said casually, his hands still flexibly moving the small object between his fingertips to play with, "Don't put too much pressure on me."
But after saying this, he continued: "I just want to know what your plans are for the current situation."
Although the tone was like chatting, the questions did not mean "casual chat" at all.
"By the way," Wen Zhao turned to He Yunting, "The last decision was made by the general, right? It was the decision to massacre the city."
According to the empire's system, even though the admiral may not have as much say as the parliament in some aspects, fundamentally speaking, he does not need to interact with those old men who argue all day long, because he only needs to obey the emperor's orders.
Unless Wen Zhao clearly stated his denial, He Yunting did not have to tie his hands.
He Yunting lowered his eyes and said solemnly: "Yes. I told you the details last time I came back to report on my work."
Including why you decided to do this instead of waiting in that place for a while.
Although it is an imperial system, a certain previous emperor abolished the abbreviation. Everyone can call themselves me, and they only need to address those in high positions as you or their position.
"Oh." Wen Zhao responded casually, with no discernible emotion.
He Yunting completed the rest of his words: "But Your Majesty, Professor Xu's antagonist is indispensable."
Wen Zhao threw the thing in his hand high, caught it accurately, and held it in his palm: "Indeed. I have always wanted to meet Professor Xu in person, and this time I finally have the chance."
He changed the subject: "But, the current situation..."
Wen Zhao put his other hand on his forehead, lightly tapped his temple, and said, "Proton Star is the one that the empire attaches most importance to among all the self-governed planets."
"Because of this, the generals were directly invited to form a formation to go to the Proton Star."
He Yunting stood up and saluted the most standard imperial military salute: "I will re-send the formation as quickly as possible. This time, no matter what, we will definitely solve it completely."
"I have never doubted the general's ability." Wen Zhao said calmly, "I will not take back any decision-making power."
"No matter what the outcome is, I believe the general will do his best."
"As for the starship," Wen Zhao said, "if the admiral can use it, there is no need to report it to me."
He Yunting bowed his head and responded without making any sound.
Wen Zhao seemed to really trust him. He didn't ask He Yunting how he wanted to solve the problem, nor did he ask how he wanted to solve it.
Is it possible that there is really no one left on the Proton Star? He will still give all his trust to his most capable subordinates.
"It's up to you to decide what Professor Xu said." Wen Zhao said, "After all, I can't bear to risk such an academic pillar."
"Professor Xu doesn't need to go." He Yunting spoke again, "The Proton Star is too dangerous, and the situation is different from last time. I may not be able to protect you completely. As for the previous doubts and abusive public opinions, I will try my best to speak for you. "
Xu Zhiheng seemed to belatedly realize that he had to decide whether to go again so soon. He barely hesitated for a moment and immediately saluted and stepped forward: "I will go with the general. There is no need to consider my safety, and I will not think about the last time again." So reckless and impulsive.”
"What's more, I developed the antagonist. Even if there is an accident, I will bear the consequences alone."
Wen Zhao smiled after hearing his words: "He is indeed a pillar of the empire."
He stood up: "Since you have already made your choice, I will not interfere any more."
Xu Zhiheng left first. He Yunting was a little late and made a report on the base again. Wen Zhao then waved his hand and asked He Yunting to go back too.
Everything is very casual. Anyway, the spokesman only needs to sort out the final results and tell the parliament and the official media. The format does not seem to be important to him.
Wen Zhao raised his eyes, but his eyes didn't fall anywhere.
He put the object in his hand back on the table. It was all precious and smooth, and it looked like it was made of rare materials and top-notch techniques.
It turned out to be a chess piece.
He Yunting didn't expect to meet someone he hadn't seen for a long time on the way back.
Wen Tianyao also seemed surprised, but he still forced out his good smile and greeted He Yunting.
After the accident in the last training, for some unknown reason, he rarely contacted He Yunting, let alone came to the base.
He Yunting turned aside to let Wen Tianyao go first. When he was about to leave, he saw that the deputy who always followed him had changed.
"Your Highness," He Yunting stood there and said, "Where is your former deputy?"
Wen Tianyao turned around and looked at the new deputy next to him who was as confused as him: "Who is the general referring to? Xi Yuan?"
Wen Tianyao didn't seem to expect that the usually talkative general would care about his deputy. He was stunned for a moment and said, "I have been transferred to work. I haven't been here for a long time."
"So His Highness the Prince doesn't care at all where his former deputy went." He Yunting said.
"...Admiral?" Wen Tianyao felt puzzled, "Is it normal not to tell you about the career transfer of my own subordinates? Besides, Xi Yuan proposed it himself, so of course I will not stop it."
He saw that He Yunting seemed to have thought about it for a moment before he said with precious words: "I know."
For some reason, Wen Tianyao actually heard a hint of ridicule in He Yunting's tone, which never laughed.
He Yunting didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he averted his eyes and left.
The two were summoned by the emperor, and the news that He Yunting was about to return to the Proton Star with Xu Zhiheng spread quickly. There were a lot of comments from all sides. Some were praying, some were anxious, some were not optimistic, and some had conspiracy theories. It's hard to tell which side has the upper hand.
This time it happened just as suddenly as last time, and there was also not much time to prepare.
The base seemed to have begun preparations when the Proton Star accident happened, reintegrating troops and personnel. The difference was that this time, Xu Zhiheng's freedom was no longer restricted, but he was placed into Qi Jiamu's mecha.
The reason why people feel that the empire is serious this time is that they are no longer a streamlined elite team, but like the previous training, they use very few starships.
The actual training was originally to experience real battles, and only when there were a large number of people and mechas could a battleship be used. However, this time the battleship used was not only not the one used in the actual training, but a giant starship that could accommodate tens of thousands of people.
Some people began to wonder why such a large formation was used. As a result, the base directly announced a partial list. Many brave and capable sergeants were on the trip, not to mention the rescue team and expert team directly allocated by the empire.
The base seems to have made all preparations. Even if an accident does occur like a training, they will do their best to solve it without any worries.
"I'll go with you." Lin Han heard the door to the apartment and knew it was He Yunting coming.
He didn't mince words, he waited for the other party to step through the door and spoke directly.
He Yunting was still wearing the formal suit he had returned from Wen Zhao. Lin Han reached out and touched the tassels on his epaulettes. He seemed to like the empire's designs on certain uniforms: "I don't often see you wearing them. It's so rare."
He Yunting knew that Lin Han had already made up his mind when he said this. Just as he was about to say something, Lin Han moved his lips and continued.
"My work plan has been arranged. If there are no tasks in the institute, it will be easy. Don't worry about me."
"What's more, if you use starships, I can barely be considered an expert team." Lin Han said confidently.
He Yunting looked down at Lin Han playing with the tassels on his shoulders: "Yes, Dr. Lin."
"Why are you still calling me that?" Lin Han looked up at him helplessly, but was not angry. He only felt that He Yunting was becoming more and more interesting, "You sound quite old."
Lin Han's fingers kept waving in front of He Yunting's eyes. He couldn't hold back and reached out to grab the other's thin white wrist.
He Yunting knew that Lin Han could hear what he was thinking: "Have you thought about it yet?"
Lin Han nodded: "It's not about the general's special invitation letter."
He Yunting knew Lin Han's decision: "Then I'll let Lu Anhe prepare."
"We will set off the day after tomorrow at the latest." He Yunting said, "I will help you make arrangements."
Going to the Proton Star has an advantage over the Border Zone, that is, no jump is required, and if the transportation is a starship, the speed will be much faster, and it can be reached in one day.
"It's good," Lin Han said, "I can go to places I haven't been to again."
"I will protect you, don't worry." He Yunting leaned over to hug him, but he was afraid that the epaulette on his chest would make Lin Han uncomfortable, so he deliberately avoided it.
But Lin Han didn't mind at all. Instead, he pulled him in by his ribbon and rested his head on his epaulette: "Yes."
"You said the same thing last time in the border area. I believe you."
He Yunting was stunned for a moment, and then he stroked the other person's soft black hair again.
"I didn't know that I liked you at that time." He Yunting said truthfully, "Or maybe I didn't understand this emotion."
"But I just don't want to see anything happen to you."
Thinking of what the next two people went through, Lin Han was so weak that he even lost his ability to read minds, and He Yunting almost survived for food and water. But now when he recalls it, it feels like he was in a trance after a long time.
"Then I won't stay on the starship this time." Lin Han said, "Leave the second cockpit position to me."
Anyway, most of the people going there are people from the base. If you really don’t want people to see you, the m2742 is so big and you can quietly come out of the second cockpit without attracting attention.
He Yunting held Lin Han's waist and said "ok".
"Okay, you can rest here tonight and get ready tomorrow." Lin Han pushed He Yunting toward the bathroom, thought of something and said, "My bed is a bit small, so I'll make do with it."
Lin Han unbuttoned the collar of He Yunting's military uniform one by one. He Yunting saw Lin Han's fascinated eyes: "Mr. Lin, do you like this very much?"
"Yes, I like it very much." Lin Han answered without hesitation with his eyes bent.
"I like your hat, the buckle, the epaulettes, the ribbon, everything."
Lin Han opened the delicate belt buckle on He Yunting's waist and smiled.
It feels like holding millions of heroes in your arms.
He didn't say this.
The starship departed as scheduled.
Lin Han successfully boarded the starship as a member of the expert team, but due to his different status, he was not with He Yunting when he boarded the ship.
Due to the different formations of starships and mechas, the navigation trajectories are naturally different. However, in order to facilitate the landing, the location was still chosen at Port Chris.
This city has been cleared by the formation once before, and Proton Star does not have the energy to rebuild in a short period of time, so it can only temporarily let these empty cities go.
But Port Crisis is close to the sea after all, and its circulation is better than other cities. The starships landed here for the first time and were later reorganized into mecha formations based on various needs.
Everything proceeds in an orderly manner, and after surveying the nearby environment, the starship can dock safely.
As usual, there will be a group of pioneer small mechas used for reconnaissance, connecting to the main ship in real time, and waiting for the commander's order to proceed with the next step of the plan.
The small mecha in charge of exploration got off the starship first, and the screen connection was successful. He Yunting sat in the middle and watched the current situation intently.
Unexpectedly, something seems to be changing in this place that was supposed to be a dead city.
"Wait a minute."
"Number 8775," He Yunting spoke on the public communicator, naming a certain small mecha that was searching, "take a step back."
The other mecha didn't know what was going on and acted as ordered.
When the front legs of the small mecha moved away, everyone realized that it seemed to have stepped on a corpse.
But those who had participated in practical training or had seen Wen Tianyao before could not help but gasp after seeing the person under the mecha's feet.
That corpse was none other than Xi Yuan, the former deputy of His Highness the Prince.
The author has something to say: I’m here to explore my head
The protagonist will not always be led by the villain! You can tear it up in no time! trust me!
Wow wow wow, there have been so few messages recently. Has everyone left? q.
