All the stars know that the general wants to chase me

It didn't take long for Xiu En to return, and after a while, Clive and Simon reappeared at the dinner table.

After the dignitaries returned to their seats, the lunch officially began.

He Qin had many questions in his mind to ask Xiu En, but since there were other people from the federation at the table, he could only keep his words in his heart and concentrate on eating seriously.

When he and 0487 were chatting in the sea of ​​consciousness, a peeled shrimp suddenly appeared in the empty bowl in front of him.

He Qin: "?"

He looked up, and Xiu En smiled at him, "I think you seem to like eating."

He Qin couldn't turn his head around for a moment. Two seconds later, his face and neck turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. He was so shocked that he couldn't even swallow the meat in his mouth, and he choked on the tip of his throat. He coughed wildly.

Xiu En felt to use the small washbasin next to him to wash his hands and dry his hands. He patted him on the back and poured water for him, "Don't worry, eat slowly, there is still a lot."

He Qin was so shocked that he didn't dare to lift his head, and poured water from the cup with both hands.

[System 0487: Hehe. 】

Harvey, who was sitting on the left side of He Qin, also glanced at them. He didn't express any thoughts, but there was a faint, imperceptible envy on his face.

After taking a breath, Xiu En washed his hands, and continued to peel He Qin's shrimp without hesitation.

Xiu En's movements of peeling the shrimp are very beautiful, and his whole person exudes an elegant and calm temperament. When he does the same thing, even the dead shrimp becomes noble.

He Qin took a sneak peek, and then another peek, his little heart was beating, he didn't dare to eat anything, he only dared to wait carefully for Xiu En to peel and feed.

Every time Xiu En puts a shrimp in his bowl, it will be digested by He Qin in the next second. One person peels and eats the other. Xiu En did not expect that he would like to eat this so much. It was probably because he took care of his mother, so he couldn't help but feel more sorry for him, so he took some more peels for him to eat.

There were eight people sitting at a table, and only these two people ate so differently. Seeing this, the other four federal officers couldn't help but cast curious glances at He Qin, thinking that even if they studied well in the Empire, they still could not Have this kind of treatment?The principal of the Federal Military Academy couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

However, Xiu En didn't care about other people's eyesight at all, and he only wanted to be nice to He Qin. Two-thirds of a large plate of shrimp fell into his plate, and the shrimp shells were piled up as high as a hill. , "If you come again, he will almost be full."

The people who were feeding and being fed over there froze when they heard the words.

He Qin took a quick look at Xiu En, afraid that Xiu En might misunderstand, and he didn't know what he might misunderstand, subconsciously shook his head and said, "I didn't, I didn't, I didn't eat, belch... hold on."

I am most afraid of the sudden silence of the atmosphere.

Seven people with fourteen eyes all looked at him.

He Qin thought to himself, can I dig a hole and bury myself now that I have become an ostrich?

Xiu En quickly stopped peeling the shrimp halfway, threw away the shrimp in his hands, washed his hands, and poured a cup of tea with his face as usual, "eliminate the food." Everyone else was buried.

After the luncheon ended and before the dinner, there was a total of three or four hours of rest time. In order to "make amends" for He Qin, Xiu En proposed to go for a walk together to help him digest food.

He Qin didn't dare to refuse, but at the same time, he was inexplicably happy in his heart.

The hotel is located in the city center, with the First Federal Military Academy to the east and the city government center to the west, so when you walk out, you will be in the central area of ​​the entire federal capital, with a sense of solemnity amidst the bustle.

Because it was for digestion, Xiu En refused the pick-up service provided by the Federation, and the two just wandered aimlessly on the Federal Capital Street without even bringing a so-called bodyguard with them, and accompanied three people every time they traveled. The four Clives are in stark contrast.

The Commonwealth is different from the Empire. It was established for a short time, and the history of the country is not as long as the Empire. Therefore, there are few buildings with a sense of history on the streets. On the contrary, they are full of modernity, showing the advancement and prosperity of this country everywhere.

He Qin had been observing the people of the Federation all the way, and it was only at this time, when he and Xiu En were walking on the main road, that he had the opportunity to savor this country carefully.

Xiu En has been walking around quietly with him, acting as an entourage very well. He enjoys this moment when the two of them don't say anything but the atmosphere is very harmonious, until He Qin turned his head to look at him, He said softly: "How is it? Seeing the Federation like this, is it different from what you imagined?"

He Qin nodded, his eyes sparkled, and he felt a sense of satisfaction that the general knew everything without saying anything.

He Qindao: "Before coming here, although I knew that the Federation's economy has developed rapidly in recent years, and I have seen some photos of the Federation on the Internet, but after coming here, I realized that there is a big gap between what I imagined."

"Do you feel that the photos and videos released by the empire do not show the development of the federation?" Xiu En rubbed He Qin's head, and led him to sit on the small green belt in front, "The reasons for this are two sides."

He Qin: "?"

"The empire has always claimed to be the strongest country in the interstellar world, and as the pride of the victorious country, our country, especially the centuries-old supporters of the imperial power, have not allowed other countries to overshadow us for a long time," Xiu En said: " In other words, it does not agree that the development of other countries will surpass the empire."

He Qin frowned.

Xiu En smiled, ignoring the sound of his heartbeat that was almost jumping out of his throat, forced his index finger out, and poked his frowning brow, "It's not only bad to do this, although it will make people in the country get lost in the 'self In the sense of comfort that the country is strong', on the other hand, it also guarantees social stability and enhances national pride."

He Qin's thoughts are very straightforward, "If you can get this kind of pride by relying on false information, then don't worry about it."

Xiu En smiled helplessly and shook his head, "This society is not black and white, and sometimes we need to be more tactful. If we keep bad-mouthing the country, it will do no good to anyone, and the citizens have no hope of living. The royal family and the government His prestige has plummeted, and he could start a riot at any time."

He Qin seemed to agree with the same reasoning. Although he was still a little unflattering, he reluctantly accepted this statement.

Xiu En said again: "Other than that, it's because of the Federation."

Speaking of the hostile country, He Qin suddenly became angry with the enemy, and his little face was quite serious.

"The pictures you see on StarNet that the Federation is lagging behind the Empire are because the Empire intends to suppress it, and the Federation doesn't want its opponents to know its true strength." Xiu En clenched his fist, wrapped his index finger in his hand, "While shaking the foundation of the empire and slackening the spirit of the imperial people, they are rapidly developing technology and economy, but they are not showing signs of dew, so that when they are strongest, they will directly face us when we are weakest—"

"One hit and one hit."

He Qin's face was wrinkled, he wanted to say something but he didn't know where to start, his mind was in a mess.

In the past, he devoted himself to studying in order to be admitted to the military academy. His goal was to have the opportunity to follow the general to go to war. For him who was born in a peaceful era, war was still too far away. Even the dream of entering the army had a little following The symbol of the idol's pace.

However, the more he came into contact with and touched the deepest things of the country, the more difficult it was for him to accept the so-called truths hidden under the surface of peace and stability.

This feeling is very bad, just like Admiral Xiu En said, the people of their empire have always accepted that the country is very strong, and they were brought up with the strongest education in the interstellar world, and they have to admit that the defeated countries in the past may have caught up. They, even beyond the fact of them, are like overthrowing a belief built up over a decade, and they can't tell what it's like.

Xiu En understands He Qin's feelings, but in his heart he has already placed the other party in the camp of "one of his own", and will fight against the world side by side with him in the future. Point and instill some cruelty in the real world in him, so that he can gradually step out of the ivory tower built by the state.

He pointed to the streets lined with high-rise buildings, "If the two countries really go to war one day, these things will be gone, and everything will return to the way it was after the war. All family members, friends... and lovers will be forced to separate , That’s it, will you still choose to fight?”

He Qin thought for a while, "Is it necessary to fight?"

"According to the current attitude of the Federation," Xiu En said affirmatively, "We must fight."

He Qin thought for a little longer this time in silence, and after a while, the bewilderment seemed to have faded from his face, "Every country must protect its own people from harm. Even if there is a big difference in strength between the enemy and us, and one side completely crushes the other, as long as there is a war, there will be casualties, but the defeated side will suffer more losses."

He paused, as if he was sorting out his complicated thoughts, "But we can't give up protecting our country with the kindness of a woman just because of the harm that a hostile country may cause. Weakness will be beaten, and only the strong will have the right to speak." , isn't this also the reason why the Federation is working so hard to develop technology and economy, and to strengthen itself?"

"No one deserves to be dismantled, and deserves to be burned by the flames of war," He Qin said, "What we can do is to grow stronger faster, and use our own strength, our own fists, to protect innocent people from harm."

After He Qin finished speaking in one breath, his face flushed slightly because of excitement, but his little eyes were still frighteningly bright, as if he transformed into a little soldier who was fearless in an instant.

Xiu En was shocked by his realization. After a while, he couldn't help but smiled knowingly. He raised his hand and rubbed He Qin's head, and said affectionately, "Children should hide behind adults and be protected."

He stood up and stretched out his right hand to He Qin, "Let's go, my little soldier, it's time to return to the battlefield."

He Qin froze for a moment, his heartbeat accelerated violently, his heart was numb, as if some emotion was about to break out.

But he didn't delve into this emotion, put his hand on Xiu En's palm, and grinned at him, "Obey, my lord admiral!"
