interstellar fairy tale

Fight, or surrender?

Shang Ping gave a seemingly simple multiple-choice question, and for Mars, the answer was obvious.The Mars people are the descendants of humans on Earth, but they have developed a martial and warlike nature. In any case, it is impossible to occupy Mars, the fourth planet of the Muse galaxy, like the Republic of Seth, without bloodshed.Knowing this, Shang Ping still gave this multiple-choice question.

Shang Ping felt that he was a bit hypocritical. This was a kind of freedom and democracy that seemed to be forced. Compared with the people in the Golden Empire, the people on Earth were more familiar with it.After all, the Golden Empire directly placed its ambitions in front of the world, and he had to pretend to be lenient.Although he knows that there is no real difference between the two.

"In addition to indecision, do you need to add hypocrisy?"

Shang Ping laughed at himself so much that the staff officer did not need to return to the command ship for the time being, and Shang Ping gave Mars eight hours to think about it.During this time, the staff officer will remain on the flagship.Major Lu Dan also took the time to come, although Shang Ping didn't know why this stern-faced commander came here, or did he just come to see his former colleagues?Looking at these two people, if he hadn't seen other Imperial Guards, Shang Ping would think that the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guards all had the same iceberg face.

Well... Shang Ping admits that he is indeed a bit bored, gossiping about his subordinates is not a good thing.

"Your Excellency, Commander, you can't belittle yourself like this."

"Oh?" Shang Ping leaned back in his chair, raised his head, and looked at the serious and rigid staff officer from an upward angle. Shang Ping once suspected that he was a clone soldier mixed with the Imperial Guard, and his behavior and speech were always rigid. Yes, there is no turning back.

"You think I'm complaining about myself?"

"No," the staff officer lowered his head and looked directly into Shang Ping's eyes, but he would not make Shang Ping feel offended or uncomfortable. He was just explaining his thoughts, "You are the commander-in-chief of the Deco Galaxy Fleet Officer, is also the lord of the Deco galaxy, and will be the partner of the ruler of the empire in the future. It is inappropriate and even ridiculous for you to laugh at yourself like this. No soldier of the empire, not even a military student who is still studying, will have any problems with the occupied planet This kind of useless mercy. If Your Majesty knows what you are thinking at this moment, then this galaxy is not simply occupied, it will completely cease to exist and disappear in the universe. Please believe me, I am loyal to the Empire and to His Majesty the Emperor .Before entering the Imperial Guard, you also served in the Space Fleet, please carefully consider what I said. If this galaxy is really special to you, then you'd better not show this specialness."

It was the first time that a staff officer uttered such a long passage, so that Shang Ping sighed at the length of his passage before he understood what he meant.

Well, Shang Ping nodded, maybe he did lack consideration, but he didn't fully agree with the staff officer's words.The Muse galaxy is indeed special to him, but this is not something that must be hidden.Soran Aldrich knew this from the very beginning, even when he acquired the Deco Galaxy and established the Deco Galaxy Fleet, they were all closely related to the Muse Galaxy.

However, Shang Ping did not intend to explain to the staff officer, there was no need.To be honest, Shang Ping is essentially a somewhat indifferent and realistic person. What he cares about and what he doesn't care about will be very clearly divided. It is because of this that he has come to where he is today.If he was a 16-year-old hot-blooded boy, after years of education by Mars, he would have been "generously sacrificed" when he was first captured by the imperial fleet.

In Shang Ping's dictionary, surviving comes before everything else.

After living two lifetimes, he became more attached to life. In layman's terms, Shang Ping cherished his life.On the premise of ensuring this, he doesn't mind finding a better way out for himself, his father, and the Muse Galaxy.And everything that is done now is necessary.

Shang Ping had figured this out a long time ago, but when he was talking to Mars, he saw some familiar faces and was in a daze again.He now deeply appreciates the benefits of a steadfast Madonna and an absolute villain, at least they don't hesitate or feel guilty about their decisions.But he knew he would never be like that.He has the selfishness of human nature.

"Thank you, Roger."

Shang Ping smiled, and his happiness was beyond words. He is not a person who likes to get into the horns. Although he did not fully agree with Roger's words, he expressed his gratitude appropriately.

Now that the outcome of the matter has been determined, there is no need for him to worry about it anymore.A battle with Mars is inevitable, just like Mars' fleet is also fighting and killing in the universe, he should give respect to the opponent's soldiers.It shouldn't be to treat Mars with the same attitude as the Republic of Seth.He has been ignoring the fact that they are descendants of people on Earth, the Republic of Seth, the military government of Mars, and the Federation of Free Cities are different.Just like different countries in the age of the earth, it is a common sense error to treat them with the same attitude.

Luo Jie only thought that Shang Ping had listened to the advice, tapped the heel of his boots, made a light noise, raised his right hand, and saluted Shang Ping with a standard imperial military salute, and then said: "My honor, Your Excellency Commander!"

Even thank you so hard, Shang Ping curled his lips and slandered.

Golden Empire, Ivanhof

The court attendants walked through the palace corridor covered with wine-colored carpets, and greeted each other decently with the court ladies who passed by. Recently, these beautifully dressed ladies can always be seen around the emperor.Most of those who can work as female officials in the Ivan Summer Palace are young girls from aristocratic families. They have received family education since childhood, and beauty and talent are indispensable.Unlike court maids, female officials have a higher status and more respect in Ivan's summer palace, but they are also more difficult to be competent.The selection of female officials has always been strict. Once one becomes a palace female official, she will have the opportunity to bring greater glory to the family. This is already an unspoken secret of the noble family and the royal family.

In the era of Heine III, before the Grand Princess Eve, Heine III also had two favorite concubines who were born as court ladies. They could not become the queens of the empire, but they could still be favored by the emperor.

Today, Solan II, who is about to marry the imperial concubine, still makes some nobles have illusions.In addition to power and wealth, Solan Edrich's own conditions are also extremely superior, and many court ladies and noble families are eager to move.

However, these people are bound to be disappointed.

The court ceremonial officer hooked the corners of his lips invisibly. He knew Solan Edrich very well. He had a hunch that that black-haired boy, the current Lord Deco, was more important to the emperor than everyone imagined. much.

In the emperor's office, Soran Edrich stared at the light screen in front of him, seemingly concentrating on handling government affairs. In fact, the information and data on the screen had not changed for a long time.

The court attendant stood respectfully beside the emperor, wisely not saying a word, government affairs and so on had nothing to do with him.Advising the emperor is what the ministers should do.

Count Reichardt and other cabinet members are busy implementing the emperor's various decrees. Unless necessary, they seldom appear in front of the emperor recently. God knows, what "wonderful ideas" the emperor will suddenly have.Recently, the old-fashioned nobles in the capital have become jittery. Grass has grown on the graves of those who dared to challenge the emperor before.

However, there are some differences in the attitude of cabinet members.The Minister of Finance, Treusini, is very much looking forward to the emperor's next decree. Earl Reichardt has begun to regret inviting the emperor back from the Deco galaxy so quickly. Now even if he wants to send the emperor back, the future imperial concubine has already led the fleet The expedition went.

Therefore, the Earls of Reichardt, who are lucky to have a diligent and iron-blooded imperial dictator, but feel sad for themselves, can only continue to suffer and be happy.

Finally, Soran Aldrich finished his inefficient work and turned off the light screen.The attendant turned on the communicator for the emperor very winkingly, and directly connected to the imperial concubine who was on the expedition.His behavior and performance perfectly interpreted the image of a court attendant who always shared the emperor's worries.

Shang Ping was waiting for Mars' reply, and the three squadron commanders also discussed the battle plan with each other via video.For the other galaxy fleets of the empire, this is simply unimaginable, and Shang Ping is well aware of his abilities, he can't do everything, and listening to the opinions of his subordinates is what he must do at this stage.Of course, the final decision is in his hands, and the battle plan has already been prepared, and the discussion now is just how to flexibly adjust the actions against the Mars fleet.

The emperor's communication interrupted them.The three fleet commanders immediately disappeared from the screen. Even if the Mars fleet attacked now, they would not bother Shangping anymore.

Shang Ping was a little surprised, he really didn't expect Soran Edrich to contact him at this time.If it's goodwill, it's still possible.

Seeing Shang Ping's surprise in his eyes, Soran Edrich raised his eyebrows. Shang Ping immediately knew that he had to go back to his room and "stay alone" with the emperor.

Therefore, the commander-in-chief of the Deco Galaxy Fleet left the flagship command room three hours before Mars replied, but no one questioned it.

"Your Majesty, how are you recently?"

In fact, Shang Ping wanted to ask why Solan contacted him at this time.

"not too good."

Soran Edrich's answer stunned Shang Ping for a moment, and then, the virtual image of the emperor leaned directly towards Shang Ping, staring at Shang Ping with blue eyes, and said softly: "I never knew, Missing would be like this feeling."

"what?"

Shang Ping really didn't react, in fact, he was a little frightened by Soran Edrich's words.Had the emperor's head been hit by a meteorite?

The emperor seemed to feel that Shang Ping's heartbeat was not fast enough, and continued: "I miss you, miss your smile, brown eyes, fresh lips." After a pause, the virtual image of Soran Edrich stretched out towards Shang Ping Reaching out, fingertips lightly brushed Shang Ping's cheeks, and his voice was seductively ambiguous: "When I wake up at night, I will always think, I want to hug you and fall asleep..."

With a bang, Shang Ping successfully explained the tragedy caused by one sentence: he directly smashed the communicator.

This is true, don't face!
