interstellar fairy tale

When the door was knocked, Austin South was sitting on a high-backed chair, flipping through a book written by Cervantes, a famous military theorist in the Republic of Seth, "Cosmic War-Introduction to Mobile Military".This book is very famous, regardless of the Republic of Seth or the Mars military regime, this book is regarded as a must-read book for reserve soldiers.Even if you have already served in the fleet, you will still benefit a lot from reading it frequently.

Before leaving his post, Popoka, the former principal of Madoff Military Academy, once held up the same book in front of the teachers and students of the school and said loudly: "How ridiculous! Such a great military introduction book is not from Malone. The hands of a man! This is a disgrace!"

It was precisely because of Popoca’s too many similarly fierce remarks, or because he was simply an out-and-out Mars activist. Directly deprived of the post of principal of Madoff Military Academy.

I have to say that in addition to being an activist, Popoca is also a very strange guy.After receiving the dismissal order, this well-dressed man with a meticulously trimmed beard seemed very happy, and only said: "Martin is acting like a chief executive at last."

He was not annoyed at losing the title of headmaster of the Madoff Military Academy, but celebrated the arbitrary orders of the chief executive, which was really unimaginable to the extreme.

However, in the second year, Popoka left his life in a distant colonial galaxy because of a battle with the ship.And his words became the best last words representing his life's beliefs, and were finally engraved on his tombstone.Next to that line of writing was another sentence from Chief Executive Martin to Popocca: "Popoca, a troublesome guy, has finally shut up and stopped talking nonsense."

It is difficult to say whether Popocca and Consul Martin are friendly or hostile.However, judging from the fact that Martin will attend Popocca's funeral and read the eulogy, the former is more likely.Of course, this is also likely to be a political show.David South, the commander-in-chief of the Mars Space Fleet, also attended Popocca's funeral, and Austin followed his father in military uniform.At that time, Austin had not yet entered the Madoff Military Academy, and of course, he had not met Shang Ping either.Looking at Popocca's tombstone, Austin, who is as beautiful as a girl, just thought that one day in the future, he will also enter such a small place and sleep forever.I hope that at that time, his body can lie there intact, instead of turning into cosmic dust and floating in the darkness.This not so sad funeral made Austin face death for the first time, realizing that he would become like this one day, and maybe before that, he needed to send his father or brother away.That was really not a pleasant thing.

That sounds a lot like the initial lament of a pessimist, but it's a good thing Austin didn't go down that road all the way.

David South didn't know what Austin was thinking at the time, and if he had known, maybe he would never have brought his youngest son to Popocca's funeral, never.

Austin didn't understand why he suddenly remembered this incident a long time ago. He stood up with the knock on the door. He lived in a single dormitory, and the whole building was very quiet. If the knock on the door disturbed the people next door, Austin would would be very sorry.

"Shang Ping?"

Through the video screen at the door, the dark-haired boy was smiling at Austin.

"Hi, Austin."

After John returned to the dormitory in frustration, Shang Ping decided to come to Austin.Although it is not certain that this will work, at least, because John can wait 24 years less, Shang Ping decided to give it a try.Strictly speaking, Shang Ping himself also became interested in Liu Xi, the president of the Republic of Seth who suddenly came to the planet Mars.At least, he thought this handsome man was just a smart politician who would seize the opportunity to climb up, but judging from his sudden actions, it is obvious that this man not only has appearance and brains, but also courage that ordinary people cannot match .Although Mars and the Republic of Seth have not yet reached the point where they are in conflict, the two planets seem to have reached a certain form of consensus in the battle that lost Royce, but in this Mars government is doing its best to At the moment of suppressing the militant sentiment, the president of the Republic of Seth suddenly appeared in front of the people of Mars as the cause of the incident. Obviously, it is necessary to take great risks.

If violence against Liu Xi himself occurred, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Please sit down."

Austin was a little surprised by Shang Ping's sudden visit, but still politely invited Shang Ping into the room.The boys at the Madoff Military Academy don't have to mop the floor and wipe the tables themselves - intelligent cleaning robots will clean the entire room spotlessly.However, they must pack their personal belongings in an orderly manner, not to mention other things, including changed clothes and socks, which must be placed in the designated cleaning basket, and must not be stuffed under the bed. If one day an intelligent cleaning robot When cleaning the room, he accidentally found something that should not be there under the bed or in a corner of the room. A certain unlucky sloppy boy would never get a pass or above in the final assessment at the end of the semester.

Shang Ping had lived with Colonel Edgar for 15 years, so naturally he didn't have to worry about this kind of thing. Even John was given orders by Shang Ping and was never caught once.Shang Ping, who stepped into Austin's room for the first time, suddenly felt that he was far behind the blond boy in front of him.Looking at the books arranged in order and the seat intelligence brain that was placed almost as if the angle was precisely calculated with an electronic measuring instrument, Shang Ping began to suspect that this fellow Austin has some inhuman eccentricities, right?

Such as cleanliness or paranoia to some extent...

"Whatever is on your mind, I want you to put that thought aside immediately."

Austin put a glass of juice in front of the business plane. In the transparent glass, the primary-colored juice wrapped the fresh pulp.Just looking at it, you will think how delicious the drink in the cup is.

"You know what I'm thinking?"

"No." Austin shook his head. "But, I'm pretty sure that what you're thinking about now has something to do with me. Besides, it won't be a good idea."

Shang Ping touched his nose, picked up the cup and took a sip, the sweetness and slightly sour taste flowed from the mouth to the throat, Shang Ping couldn't help squinting his eyes.This is also the relationship between the privileged class?

"Ok."

Obviously, Austin no longer worked hard to dispel some strange conjectures from Shang Ping, and now he just wanted to know the purpose of Shang Ping's sudden visit to him.Of course, this blond boy was not naive enough to think that Shang Ping's late-night visit was to discuss the knowledge in class with him, or he suddenly became enlightened and wanted to respond to his pursuit. Compared with the latter, the former was more likely.

"Actually, it's like this..."

Shang Ping also didn't bother to talk about him, nor did he embellish his purpose. His language was straightforward, and he even stated the purpose of this trip with confidence.His attitude was clear, and Austin could hear it clearly.However, the blond boy raised one eyebrow and asked in surprise, "Shang Ping, why do you think I can do this?"

"I thought you were going to say why you helped John."

"That's what I'm going to ask next, but before that, please answer my first question."

"Last time, you bought wine for me."

"Is that the reason?"

"kindness."

Austin was silent.He never had the opportunity to discuss this matter with Shang Ping in detail. At the beginning, he agreed to Shang Ping, and he did get two bottles of wine for Shang Ping, but that didn't mean that Austin broke the law knowingly and in order to please his sweetheart.Those two bottles of valuable wine were all Austin's mother, Ms. Diana, when she knew that her youngest son was troubled by his sweetheart's request, she took it out of Commander-in-Chief David South's collection on her own initiative.Moreover, the Commander has not known about this until now.Even if he knew, he had no way to blame his beloved wife and youngest son, so he could only grit his teeth secretly.

Of course, Commander David South finally found out the whereabouts of these two bottles of treasures. With the familiar logo and year on the bottle, Commander David recognized the origin of the bottle.However, this will take place much later.

"Austin, I just want to say that helping John realize his wish is one aspect, and I am also somewhat interested in Liu Xi. Don't you find it curious?"

Austin understands very well that he can indeed do this by himself, all he needs to do is report to the principal and advance the next month's vacation.For the politician-turned-principal Gus, the identity of Aiko, commander-in-chief of the space fleet, is really useful.

However, Austin believes that he cannot agree so easily, at least he should get some benefits for himself.Didn't Shang Ping say that he is also very interested in Liu Xi?

Thinking of this, the way Austin looked at Shang Ping changed slightly. In a sense, this change can be described as obviously malicious...
