interstellar fairy tale

The Mars people believe in force, just like some people in history have been devout for faith.Although they know that force is not omnipotent, soldiers and warships can exert their greatest power only with an economic foundation and the skill of politicians.However, this kind of faith-like emotion will not hinder the further growth and development of Mars. On the contrary, it is the existence of powerful force, as the backing of economic strength and the basis of political means, that Mars planet will replace the first Three planets, γ, dominated the Muse galaxy for hundreds of years.

The Mars people are not arrogant, but they are also accustomed to victory in war.In the concept of the Mars people, war exists for the sake of victory.In the long-term exploration of alien systems, Mars battleships and powerful soldiers also thoroughly implemented this concept.

One can imagine how shocked the people who heard the news of the defeat would be.

Colonel Edgar, commander of the Sixth Fleet, and Colonel Hansen, commander of the Eighth Fleet, can both be called victorious champions!Although they are not the leaders of this war, it is really hard to believe that the two fleets with extremely strong combat effectiveness will suffer such a disastrous defeat.

David South was sitting in the office of Chief Executive Martin, and the two powerful people on the Mars planet also frowned deeply.

"It's unbelievable." Martin clasped his hands on the edge of his chin, "David, if the people know this news, what reaction will they have?"

"Even so, what should be done is still to be done, and what should be announced should not be concealed in the slightest."

David South looked at Martin with a serious face. Compared with Martin, David, who got the news one step earlier, seemed calmer.

"Martin, I know your considerations as a consul. First of all, you must understand that we are Marsians, and this is Hercules, the capital of Mars. Shirking responsibility and concealing facts like Seth politicians are all It is unacceptable and downright stupid. Besides, the people of Mars have the ability and courage to endure this matter. A defeat can inspire the courage of the soldiers even more."

"Even that courage won't bring you victory?"

"Yes."

"Ok."

Martin sighed, stood up, and turned his back to the large floor-to-ceiling windows. The afterglow of the setting sun spilled into the room through the tempered glass. Standing under this light orange light, Martin was surrounded by a circle of soft light that was not dazzling. faint.

Just like his appearance, without a hint of aggression, it is hard to believe that this bookish man will have a magma-like personality under the surface, and he can compete with David South.

Considering his appearance, Liu Xi, the current president of the Republic of Seth, is more suitable for the position of chief executive of Mars.

Of course, this is just a hypothesis.

"Martin, what are you going to do?"

"What can't be concealed, most of it won't be good news. Sometimes it really embarrasses me."

There was a wry smile on the corner of Martin's mouth, and he could already predict that he was facing dozens of microphones.Thinking about the grand occasion of the presidential election of the Republic of Seth some time ago, I was still a little envious of that young handsome president, but now I am replaced by myself, but I don't feel so happy.

David South was not worried that Martin would tell the whole thing without any scruples. The truth was important, but embellishing it was easier for the people to accept. Martin was used to doing such things, but David was not.Otherwise, the current positions of the two are likely to be switched.

Early the next morning, the news of the defeat of the Sixth Fleet and the Eighth Fleet appeared on the headlines of newspapers and news.As David and Martin expected, after the initial shock, the Mars people really showed higher fighting spirit and passion.They didn't even think about the reasons for the defeat, or the cause of the war. They only cared about the defeat of Colonel Edgar and Colonel Hansen. When the images of Edgar and Hansen appeared on the screen, they felt enthusiastic. High again.

"One defeat doesn't mean anything. Two admirable colonels have won 99 victories in wars before, and they will not be stained by this defeat. On the contrary, Colonel Edgar sent some soldiers to cover others. When the battleship left and faced an enemy ten times larger than itself without hesitation, all the citizens cried out for these venerable victims. This is the Mars soldier, no, we should say, this is the Mars !"

The sexy hostess with snowy skin and red lips, even in a military uniform can't hide her exquisite curves.The voice that should have been sweet was slightly hoarse.

Shang Ping sat in front of the screen, with his back to John who was leaning against the bed.After being promoted to the senior year, Shangping got the chance to apply for a single dormitory because of his outstanding performance in the actual combat exercise of the Kanon military fortress, but unexpectedly chose to stay in the current dormitory.Austin had already moved into a single dormitory at the beginning of term.Not only because of his performance in the Canon Military Fortress, but also because Austin has maintained excellent grades in all subjects while studying at the Military Academy.Compared with him, Shang Ping, who only focuses on academic courses and is a mess in shooting and close combat, is not so prominent.

"John, is this beauty your aunt?"

"Yes. But, Shang Ping, shouldn't we be concerned about whether she is my relative now?"

"how?"

"Don't you care about Colonel Edgar? He didn't look very pretty just now."

"Being on TV for such a disgraceful reason, I don't think most people will look any better."

"Is that the point?"

"Isn't it?" Shang Ping turned his head and squinted his eyes at John, "Don't you want to hear me say 'Uncle Edgar lost the battle, I'm so worried! I'm so sad! I'm so depressed! I really want to Just use my immature shoulders to comfort Uncle Edgar's scarred and fragile heart'? Go dreaming."

"...Shang Ping, I want to beat you up."

"If you don't worry about being retaliated by me, please feel free."

Shang Ping shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and turned his attention back to the screen.The news program was coming to an end, and what appeared on the screen were no longer military spokespersons or relevant government personnel. Photographers and reporters took to the streets, and almost all of the pictures were the outraged citizens of Mars.All men, veterans included, seemed ready for the next battle that was at hand.

"Is it public opinion control? Is it some kind of political strategy? It seems that although the Mars people are keen on military affairs, their political skills are not inferior to the Biss people at all, maybe even worse."

Shang Ping held his chin and said sarcastic remarks.John simply grabbed his jacket, he had already seen what he needed to see anyway, instead of continuing to stay with this guy who was obviously in a bad mood and endured the terrible poisonous tongue attack, he would rather go to the one-man fighter training room to pass the time.However, what made John Jonathan very depressed was that after walking out of the dormitory, he met Austin head-on.The two boys who were also young looked at each other blankly, and John's ribs that were broken last time were aching again.

Shang Ping in the dormitory was unaware of what happened just across the door.Still lying on the chair watching TV.It would be a lie to say that Shang Ping is not worried about Colonel Edgar, but Shang Ping, who has lived with Colonel Edgar for 15 years, does not think that just one defeat can crush this man.Edgar may like to joke, or he may not show all his seriousness and integrity like Colonel Hansen, but Shang Ping knows better than anyone else the unyielding and tenacity of this tall man.

Look, even though he lost the battle this time, his Daddy-Long-Legs may already be planning how to beat the enemy next time.

However, why did Uncle Edgar lose?

Shang Ping lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought.

capital of the republic of seth

In the presidential office in the heart of the water city, Liu Xi looked at the report in front of him with a cold face.Confidential secretary Kent stood in front of him, mechanically reporting the news he had just received: "...Royce's artificial celestial body has declared independence at zero o'clock today, including the former celestial body commander Roger, and its adjutant Affleck , Captain Karan, Captain Ged, Lieutenant Ruth, Lieutenant Xu... A total of [-] officers were killed in the line of duty, and the Ninth Fleet and the Celestial Permanent Army were all killed in the battle. Now occupying the Royce artificial celestial body , and announced that it is the surviving officers and soldiers of the original Fourth Fleet headed by Captain Erfei who are attached to the Golden Empire. Marshal Helu of the military department has already investigated these survivors, and I believe there will be definite news in the near future. The above. "

After the ending of Kent, Liu Xi took off his silver-rimmed glasses and let out a chuckle.

"Your Excellency the President?"

"No, it's nothing." Liu Xi shook his head and looked at Kent, "I just find it funny, it seems that from the very beginning, we have fallen into an invisible trap, and the other party has obviously already laid many traps, just wait See, the disappearance of the Fourth Fleet, the surprise visit of the Gold Fleet, the war caused by far-fetched excuses, the defeated Combined Fleet, until Royce declared independence, one ring after another, so precise, obviously It's not a temporary idea. Maybe even Roger's stupidity and indecision have been counted by them. This time Marshal Helu will have more headaches than me. After all, losing the Ninth Fleet and Royce Celestial Body at the same time, as a palm I really admire Marshal Helu, a powerful and conceited soldier, who can still maintain his sanity to this day."

Liu Xi poured out the thoughts in his heart in one breath, and suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, but Kent's expression became more dignified.

"Your Excellency, please be careful."

"Ok."

Liu Xi wiped off the unnecessary dust on the glasses, put them on again, and covered the sharp light in those black eyes.

"Although I don't like Marshal Helu's increasingly overbearing dominance, as President Seth, I need to fulfill my responsibilities."

"Your Excellency the President?"

"Let's arrange a press conference. At the same time, send a diplomatic letter to Marshal David in Mars. I hope to have a face-to-face meeting with him in the near future. The location is up to him to choose."

"Your Excellency, please consider carefully! Meeting with the commander of the Mars Space Fleet is not as simple as you said."

"That's why diplomatic letters are needed, isn't it?"

Liu Xi stood up, completely ignoring Kent's ugly face, walked to the window, overlooking the large square in front of the heart of the water city, "Kent, as a Seth person, I must do my best. I love my The motherland, loving my mother planet, is not just lip service. Just like the dead Xie Sha, my struggle for power and profit, and even playing dirty tricks of politicians, is not for myself."

"...Yes, Your Excellency the President."

Just when Mars and Seth were equally busy dealing with the consequences of this defeat, the distant Royce artificial celestial body, after the initial panic, many Seth people numbly accepted what Captain Elfy said. of "coexistence".

The "interstellar visitors who bring peace" that Erfei called have also entered the Royce artificial celestial body one after another not long ago.Of course, part of the Golden Empire space fleet is still on the edge of the interstellar channel, guarding the Canon military fortress that is also in the channel.Although the military fortress did not really pose a threat to them, after seeing the performance of the Mars people on the battlefield, the fighters of the space fleet of the Golden Empire began to face up to the human beings in the Muse galaxy whom they despised.

But until now, only the Marsians have received this honor. As for the Sethians, they are still classified as stupid and useless cowards and mobs.

Soran Aldrich's flagship landed on the open-air helipad of Royce's artificial celestial body, and the huge black battleship hatch slowly rose. Accompanied by several heartfelt subordinates such as Novi and Ida, Soran stepped down. Aboard the battleship, set foot on the land of the Royce artificial celestial body.

This stunning beauty praised by the stars, with long silver hair flying in the night wind, and ice blue eyes as clear as crystal, just standing there quietly is enough to make all the words of praise boring.All the soldiers of the Golden Empire who greeted him closely followed his figure. The first prince is a gift from the most dazzling star in the universe to the Golden Empire. He is powerful and perfect. He will definitely lead the Golden Empire to another glory. They Will dedicate everything to His Highness until they die in battle.

Even the Seth people who stayed in Royce's artificial celestial body had to admit that Solan Edrich before their eyes was as moving as a hymn.

Perhaps this man from a distant galaxy is as cruel as a devil, but even his enemies cannot deny his proud demeanor and charm.

Soran Aldrich may be aware of this, or he may have deliberately ignored it. Even though he walked onto the teleportation bridge with a breath of ice and snow all over his body, the soldiers on both sides still shouted: "Long live Your Highness! Long live the Golden Empire!"

Among them, many Seth people's voices were mixed in.

Solan turned a deaf ear to it, but Novi raised his eyebrows and exchanged glances with Ida. It's very interesting, isn't it?

The teleportation bridge sent Suo Lan and his party into the interior of the celestial body, and finally stopped in front of the main control room of the intelligent brain that controls the entire celestial body.Soran Aldrich walked into the main control room of Royce's artificial celestial body with some interest, looked at the rows of consoles and the flashing fluorescent screens in front of him, and said, "Novi, seeing this, I More sure of how stupid the commander of this celestial body is. He won't even use the resources in his hands."

"Yes, Your Highness." Novi replied respectfully, "That's why this galaxy needs a wise new master."
