The Last Kabakans

Coming out of the straight ladder, Mrs. Richard took them to her rest cabin, took out a box and put it in front of the two of them: "It happened suddenly, and he didn't give anything special on the day before he left. Later, I sorted out his things. Find these, I think it's for you."

After saying this, she turned around and went out, closing the door gently. Gad looked at the person beside him. He lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking, feeling the warmth from his fingertips, his eyelashes trembling slightly.

As if he had made up his mind, Joshua let out a heavy breath, opened the box, and there was a photo on the top.

A sour feeling came to my heart instantly.

Since entering the military academy, he had spent very little time with his father, especially after his mother passed away, and there was no communication between them.

At the beginning, he was in a very painful life. He deliberately caused trouble, locked himself in a confinement room, and stayed there for more than ten days. Especially after hearing about his father's promotion, he once thought of giving up his studies.

In addition to hatred, he also had conflicts and struggles. He wanted his father to explain, but he was afraid that what he said was not what he wanted to hear.

Seibert Samuel was a good husband and a great general, but he was by no means a good father.

From the perspective of outsiders, it must be a very happy thing to have such an excellent father. They are all envious of Joshua, but only he knows that he doesn't even want to spend a birthday with his father.

When his mother was sick, he was not allowed to tell his father, because he would be too busy to connect to the communication.His mother is considerate and doesn't care about these things, but that doesn't mean he doesn't feel sorry for her.

He looked at the little boy holding a big fish in the photo, and the small wooden house behind, and he suddenly went back more than ten years ago. If his father hadn't left in a hurry, they would have spent the whole night there.

It was a sunny day, he caught fish for the first time, his mother took this picture of him, General Samuel's adjutant volunteered to help them take a family portrait, and he got a call from the military department.

They never got another chance to vacation together afterward.

There is also a woodcut sniper gun in the box, the surface is polished very smooth.

"This thing must be more than ten years old?" Gad said, "The standard is a little different from now."

Joshua didn't speak, and silently flipped through the remaining little things. He counted and suddenly snorted.

Every little thing in it can almost string together Joshua's entire childhood.

At the age of five, the first generation of big bar SK-1 was successfully developed, and he always wanted a model; at the age of six, he got a badge in the reserve school; at the age of seven, he fell down the stairs, The plaster cast on the arm has the signatures of the classmates: when I was eight years old, I caught a big fish by the lake; when I was nine years old, I used the money from selling small biscuits to buy a hairpin for my mother...

Looking at these miscellaneous and ordinary things for people who don't know why, Joshua suddenly squatted down and buried his face in his palms. He couldn't believe that even things that he had almost completely forgotten would actually appear again. Appear.

"Would you like to listen?" Gad asked Joshua with a tape recorder and put his hand on his shoulder.

Gad found a chair for him to sit down, poured him a glass of water, and then pressed the switch of the recording pen.

silence.

After half a minute of silence, a slightly hoarse voice was heard, as if he had a cold.

"I heard from Emil that you are graduating soon. I just happen to be free recently and plan to come back. If you don't object, I want to attend your graduation ceremony. Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force it."

There was silence again, and after a long while he continued: "If you need anything, you can talk to Emil, I know you don't like this, but I hope you can change your perspective, treat her as a family member, support each other, and Not to treat her as a federal worker."

The man took a deep breath and finally said, "Okay, that's it."

There was only these, without the explanation Joshua wanted, and Gad didn’t even mention a single word to his mother. Gad was a little confused and played the recording again from beginning to end to ensure that no important information was missed.

He sat next to Joshua, wanting to see if the recorder had been tampered with, and finally concluded: "It seems that's all."

Joshua seemed to be in a better mood than before, but he asked himself to stay for a while. Gad kissed him on the forehead and backed out. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Richard was waiting outside.The two nodded tacitly and walked to the command cabin.

"Have you heard the tape?" Gad asked.

Mrs. Richard: "Well, I don't know what was recorded at the time."

Gad was thoughtful: "Can you tell me something else? Just, about Joshua's father." Joshua would definitely not take the initiative to ask.

"I'm actually not familiar with the general," Mrs. Richard smiled helplessly. "Political marriage, you understand. The situation is turbulent. The Federation needs to integrate forces, stabilize the situation, and more importantly, loyalty."

Gad nodded: "Oh, it seems that you have no feelings."

Mrs. Richard smiled but did not answer: "The general is actually very guilty, but he feels that he is not qualified to beg for forgiveness. You were born in the royal family, so you should understand that some things cannot be measured by right or wrong."

"There is no right or wrong, but there are benefits." Gad hit the nail on the head.

The destruction of Kabakan Star was the result of the struggle for rights and interests. General Samuel was just an executor, but he didn't expect his wife to be involved, and finally became one of the victims.

Mrs. Richard did not argue with him, but still kept her demeanor: "I can only do this. I don't know if the knot between their father and son can be solved. It is a critical moment, and you are not willing to leave, so I can only do this." gone."

Now that it is like this, who can keep his sleeves clean and stay out of it?

Go back to the command module.

The attacks of the warships following the spaceship slowed down, and it seemed that they were running out of ammunition.

"I will lock the coordinates of the Tsar, communicate with the star gate, and send you there, but we will not wait for you here. And there is one more thing, I hope you can understand." Mrs. Richard waved, and an officer who looked like a doctor came over .

Gad certainly understood.

For more than ten years, he has been hunted down. The Federation, Empire, and bounty hunters are both afraid of and eager for his pheromone.

If it hadn't been for being shot by someone, he probably would have run away long ago, and he wouldn't have been stuffed into a capsule and thrown to Semias.

After finally escaping, he didn't want to take Joshua on another adventure. Mrs. Richard just took the opportunity to threaten to take his blood samples.

The doctor smoked a full twelve tubes, and when he was about to smoke No.13, Mrs. Richard told him to stop.

"The shuttle boat is ready, you rest for a few minutes and get ready to go."
