Interstellar leader

Chapter 16 The Second Mission

Li Qing and his team managed to get out of the cave before the high tide. Since the Gaia ruins had attracted the attention of the top leaders of the Republic, they handed over the scanned copies of the box and the slate to the school after returning.

The military later sent divers into the ruins to investigate again, but still found nothing.The slate and the pitiful words in the box initially caused widespread debate in the academic circles. As time went by, the discussion about it subsided, and it, like the human past it represented, was suppressed at the bottom of the box.

The military doesn't waste time on things that seem pointless to them.In fact, they have countless things to do.

This year, the relationship between the Empire, the Republic and the Federation became more and more tense. Five months ago, the Empire closed all trade ports with the Federation. Immediately afterwards, businessmen from the five major free trade zones between the Empire and the Republic were repatriated.Two months ago, the empire almost completely blocked the entry and exit of the federation, and tightened the inspection of the citizens of the republic when they entered the port. Countless spaceships passing through the empire were intercepted before they approached the habitable planet.The atmosphere on both sides is tense, and there are even signs of strengthening armaments and preparing for war.

The time in the military academy passes quickly. At the beginning of the second year, students will be assigned to complete different tasks according to their performance in various tests.

Excellent students are naturally given more difficult tasks, but relatively, their treatment is better, and they will be promoted faster after entering the army after three years.Therefore, some of the students who saw their first mission through the campus system had ugly faces, some had mixed feelings, and some were complacent.

Li Qing stood in the crowd with a strange expression.There is no self on that list, nor Adelaide and Albert.

Suddenly, a line of bright red words jumped out on the big screen: "Please Isaac Lancelot, Adelaide O Delphi, Albert Lee, go to the principal's office immediately after seeing the announcement."

The crowd immediately boiled over, discussing what the principal asked these three people to do.

When Li Qing pushed open the heavy door of the principal's office, Adelaide and Albert were already sitting there.There were obviously four sofas surrounded by a square, but the two sat on one of them, quite close to each other.Are you on good terms?If Jörg saw this scene, his expression should be wonderful.Thinking of this, Li Qing couldn't help laughing.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, a hale and hearty old man came out of the office, sat across from Adelaide, patted the sofa next to him, and said, "Lancelot, come and sit."

Li Qing sat down obediently, feeling a little surprised.It turned out to be Admiral Ackerman, who rarely showed up, who came to them. He thought it was his daughter, Major General Ackerman.Things are not going well.

There was no smile on Admiral Ackerman's face, and he began succinctly: "I came to you this time for a very important matter. You should know that the relationship between the Windsor Empire and us is very tense now, and the war is quietly approaching." .We really need intelligence, any information about the Empire, to predict the future direction. This way, we will not be caught by surprise when the war breaks out. In addition, we have to admit that the Empire is much stronger than us. With intelligence, we can seize the opportunity and have the possibility of winning the war."

There was no expression on Li Qing's face, this was already in his expectation.Adelaide lowered his eyelashes, thinking about when the war would break out.The second young master turned his head to look at her, without saying a word, half of his face was covered by his long blond hair hanging down, so it was hard to see what he was thinking.

"But you should know that the Windsor Empire is very strict with the outside world. With the mentality of 'I would rather be wronged than let one go', foreigners who feel slightly wrong cannot stay. Our soldiers are easily recognized as It turns out that people who are not from the military are not capable enough. After thinking about it, we can only find students from the military academy. You three," Ackerman paused. Unlike his daughter, he has never been good at praising subordinates, " Very...excellent. At the same time, you don't seem to have anything to do with the military."

"..." The corner of Li Qing's mouth twitched, is this a compliment?

"So we are going to be spies?" Li Ershao forced a smile, and he, who was good at observing words and expressions, saw an ominous future from Admiral Ackerman's expression.

"It can be said that your identities are fabricated by the military. The population of the Empire is larger than ours and the Federation combined. It is relatively easy to exploit the loopholes in your identities. As long as your appearance does not arouse suspicion. The military will support you all the way , to provide you with all possible backup, but while you are on a planet controlled by the Empire, I hope you can protect yourself.”

"In order to keep it secret from the outside world, your actions will be covered by searching for Gaia. I remember that Lancelot was the one who discovered Gaia's ruins. Of course, if you can really find Gaia at the same time, that would be great." Admiral Ackerman made a joke, trying to lighten the mood, but found himself unable to laugh.

Li Qing looked into the eyes of this old general, he saw the sorrow for the future, deep sorrow.

Sure enough, the more you know, the more you worry.He thought of his roommate Finn, who told him with a smile on his face just now that he was going to the Windsor Empire to bring back his girlfriend Aphra; The sound asked him to take a group photo of her family.They are so happy, laughter seems to have always been the main theme of life.

Li Qing knew that the current situation was extremely unstable, war was inevitable, and the smoke of gunpowder would eventually rise in every inch of land, he did not expect it to be so fast.How many days can you live in peace?

Admiral Ackerman's voice suddenly softened, "Children, look up at me."

"The Republic needs you."

It seems impossible to refuse.Li Qing sighed inwardly.He didn't want to go to the tense Windesha Empire, didn't want to participate in the war, and didn't want to risk his life—after all, he was just an ordinary mathematics researcher before crossing over. In a peaceful age, living in a peaceful place, a strong country protects every citizen of the land from war.

But not here.His country is no longer strong, his era is no longer peaceful.

No one forced him to come to the military academy. It was his own choice at the beginning, so he must take responsibility and cannot escape.Besides, he hasn't got that set of data yet.

So Li Qing heard himself answer softly: "Understood, General Ackerman."

Li Ershao laughed: "Hey, it's nothing, it's just being a spy."

Adelaide gave the principal a firm look, and replied with a smile: "I promise to complete the task."

Admiral Ackerman's brows loosened, "Don't promise to complete the task," he strengthened his tone, "Guarantee your own safety first."

At this time, Li Qing's bracelet vibrated three times, it was a text message from Jorge, without any encryption, and the content was very ordinary.

"You stay safe, I will always be there."

After a few seconds, another one was received.

"Adelaide and Albert, I don't care anymore. Let her."

Li Qing almost didn't laugh out loud.Your sister hasn't secretly agreed with her, so you approved it in advance?Very forward looking.

The heart of the republic, the capital of the Miranda sector, represents the highest political parliamentary building, Jörg is dressed in a black formal suit, sitting on a comfortable office chair.In front of him was a stack of unapproved documents—in this era, in order to prevent hackers from using paper documents, most of them were the top secrets of a country.

The sound of his secretary Olivia swiping her fingerprints sounded outside the door. After the system confirmed it was correct, it sent a permission grant message to Joerg. At the same time, the real-time monitoring of the secretary outside the door appeared on the screen in front of him.Jörg presses OK on the screen, and the door opens.

Olivia is a very shrewd woman, efficient and extremely intelligent.

She was beautiful, but unlike the scantily clad secretaries, she was always subdued in traditional formal attire.She never tried to seduce her superiors, nor did she bother to do so, although becoming Jörg's lover was the dream of many women, and perhaps a few men, who worked in the building.

Olivia nodded to her boss and began to report: "The business with the McLaughlin family has been negotiated. Ms. Angela, who is in power, said that the family will fully support this party in the next vote of the House of Lords, and the number of votes is expected to increase by 2 votes, we can fight for 4 votes.”

Joerg rubbed his brows, "There are quite a few idiots in that group of peacemakers. There are at least fifty people, and they are still so naive. Do you think that compromising with the Windsor Empire can buy time? If it attacks the Federation If we sit back and do nothing, the Federation will soon fall. The empire that swallowed up the resources will become stronger, and the Republic will soon become the next."

"I will get more votes as soon as possible, which is related to the whole pre-war preparations." Olivia responded.She noticed that her boss was staring intently at the office monitor in front of her, she turned slightly sideways, and her peripheral vision glanced at the screen above.

She recognized two of them, the principal of the First Military Academy and Joerg's younger sister, another man with long blond hair who looked like someone from the Li family in the Rockefeller District, and a handsome boy with black hair who should be Lancelot .Olivia felt that she could only call that too young a boy, after all, she was ten years older than Jörg.

Alas, sister, I am really old.Olivia sighed.

"Olivia."

"What's your order?" Olivia immediately focused.

Jörg turned off the video. "Tell the First Legion stationed on the border between the Republic and the Empire to take good care of Isaac Lancelot. If he suffers any serious damage that cannot be recovered, Hehir's title of Legion Commander can be forfeited."

"This... are you sure you want to meddle in the military affairs? I don't think it's a good idea to threaten Major General Hehir, and besides, the parliament and the military will not interfere with each other. This will have a bad effect—" Joerg After making a gesture, Olivia immediately shut her mouth.

"These are not important compared to him."

"Member Delphi—" Olivia was so frightened that the tablet in her hand almost fell off.

"I suspect that he knows many things that we don't know, such as where Gaia is, such as the direction of the future, and even one of the deepest cosmic-level secrets, which I can't tell now. He is more valuable than ten Hehirs. "Jörg put his elbows on the table, clasped his fingers, propped his chin, and was thinking about something.After a long time, he leaned back in the chair and returned to his usual relaxed but oppressive posture. He tapped the table rhythmically with his slender knuckles. This is his habit after making a major decision. action.

"Then... does the young master of the Li family need protection?" Of course Olivia would not be so stupid as to ask Adelaide, is there even a need to ask?There is no one in the Delphi family who is not sister-in-law.

"Albert? Why bother?"

"..." Olivia wiped tears of sympathy for the young master of the Li family in her heart.
