The Wheel of Chronos

Near noon on December 12, the Ministry of Defense Building in the Central Region of the Empire.The Supreme Admiral of the Navy, Admiral Sutter, was leaning against the holographic computer desk in his office, manipulating the holographic screen to read a military report.His chief of staff knocked on the door and put a paper report on his desk:

"Report to the general, report the military situation on the front line on Shule Island."

Admiral Sutter took off the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, rubbed the center of his brows, put on the reading glasses again, picked up the paper report and opened it:

"What about the electronic file? Why give me the paper copy."

"The electronic file is a time-limited document. It has been automatically destroyed now, and we cannot save it in military files. When the electronic file was first sent, the printing process was automatically started. After printing out this report, it was destroyed." The chief of staff said.

"Who handed in the report?" Admiral Sutter looked at the chief of staff from the upper edge of his reading glasses and asked, his dark green eyes looked a little surprised.

"Yes...Major General Tianyang and Colonel Smith jointly signed it." The chief of staff was a tall middle-aged man with a solemn and resolute face. When he said Tianyang's name, his expression seemed a little hesitant.

"Heh~" Admiral Sartre smiled.What kind of tricks is this ghost girl playing?

Opening the report and starting to read it, Admiral Sartre's face gradually changed from joking to dignified.After he finished reading this short report, he looked up and found that the Chief of Staff was still standing there, and he couldn't help saying:

"Go out and do your work."

"Yes!" The chief of staff saluted, and just as he turned around, Sartre suddenly called out to him:

"Wait a minute, help me contact Colonel Smith, I want to have a holographic call with him, level two encryption."

"Yes!"

Ten minutes later, Admiral Sutter met Colonel Smith, who was thousands of miles away, in his office.The holographic projector projected a life-like image of Colonel Smith on his desk, and Colonel Smith saluted him.

"Hello, Colonel, long time no see." Sartre said with a smile, "I have received and read the joint report between you and Major General Tianyang."

"Yes, General."

"I would like to ask, what is your intention in formulating this secret military operation plan?"

"We speculate that there may be some secrets hidden on the continent of Lemuria. The intention of this military operation plan is to find out the situation on the continent of Lemuria."

"Secret, what kind of secret is it? What I mean is, I hope you can explain clearly why you want to land in Lemuria for investigation."

"Yes. Just yesterday, we received information from the frontline unmanned reconnaissance aircraft that Lemuria intends to launch an air raid on our first island chain, and has sent aircraft close to the edge of the resistance field. However, that aircraft It did not leave the resistance force field, and remained stationary on the edge. Until the arrival of Princess Tianyang, the aircraft began to gain momentum and activated some unknown weapon. Major General Tianyang, who came overnight, made emergency deployments and prepared The air interception operation was launched that night. However, the major general took the transport plane back to the mainland before dawn because of an emergency order. At the same time that the transport plane that Major General Tianyang was taking took off and returned, our unmanned reconnaissance plane sent back information, which was close to resistance The Lemurian aircraft, which was ready to launch at the edge of the force field, turned back and seemed to give up the surprise attack. Major General Tianyang has been keeping in touch with us. After receiving the news, she thought that the Lemurian continent this time The air strike may have been launched against her arrival at the front. Why is the mainland of Lemuria so afraid of her arrival and has prepared in advance? Has the military information that she was transferred to the front this time been leaked? We will discuss it later Next, I think that maybe the current situation in Lemuria is not what we thought—it was just a temporary truce due to lack of food. We need to sneak into the resistance field, land in Lemuria, and see for ourselves the status quo across the continent. That is where this preliminary draft plan of action comes from."

After listening to Colonel Smith's narration, Admiral Sutter was silent for a long time, and finally said:

"Do you know how many times the imperial military tried to infiltrate that continent over the years, and made countless plans, but all of them failed. We sacrificed seven elite troops and lost billions of imperial coins. I basically gave up on the infiltrating and reconnaissance plan. What is so special about your plan? What I care about is whether it can succeed."

"Reporting to the general, Major General Tianyang believes that if the Lemuria continent really launched a military operation against her personally, then it is necessary for her to infiltrate into the Lemuria continent herself, and she mentioned that she already has a way. It's just...she You didn't disclose the details to us, maybe, you should ask her." Colonel Smith said a little helplessly, this time, he was persuaded by Tianyang to do so when he signed the joint report, but in fact, he didn't have any confidence in his heart.

"How do you prove this? Even if she is the only daughter of Her Majesty the Queen, the current princess, a rear admiral of the navy, and a master at piloting amphibious mechs, does Lemuria really care about her so much? She Is it too self-aware." General Sutter gradually raised a trace of anger, he sent Tianyang to the front line not for a joke, but Tianyang was so hot that he wanted to go to the front line to fight, and he spent a long time with him , he agreed.For this reason, he didn't know how many meetings he had with the old guys from the military committee, and how much saliva was wasted before he persuaded them to approve this military operation.But within two hours of going to the front line, Her Majesty the Queen transferred her back just by talking about it, and she still didn't want to reveal the reason to him.Since he received the call late last night, he has been pissed off, and issued a recall order overnight, but today he received this child's play report from Tianyang.

Did this little girl use the battlefield as a playground?Come when you want, leave when you want?

Colonel Smith remained silent, not knowing how to respond.

"Oh...forget it." Admiral Sutter sighed, "Go and do your work. Don't disclose this matter to the outside world for the time being, as long as you know it yourself. I will talk to Tianyang."

"Yes!"

The video call was interrupted, and Principal Smith let out a sigh of relief, feeling a little sweat on his back.When he walked out of the video conference room, he saw Lieutenant Colonel Jiang Ting standing at the door, handing him a cup of canned coffee.

"Xiao Ting? Are you waiting for me?" Smith was a little surprised, took the canned coffee and found it was still warm.

"Well, what did the major general's report say?" she asked.

"Uh..." Smith couldn't say much, but just shrugged.Jiang Ting was an insider of the report, and she actually helped make the report.

"I understand that the higher-ups always have a lot of concerns." Jiang Ting walked along the corridor outside the video conference room to the outer glass French windows, looking through the floor-to-ceiling glass at the tarmac below, the warships in the port, and the deep blue sea in the distance.

"But this time, maybe the major general's feeling is right." She said quietly.

"I said you, you don't like the major general." Smith took a sip of coffee, walked up to her and asked.

Jiang Ting glared at him, but Smith saw a trace of panic in her eyes, and the blush on her cheeks was also very obvious.

"Are you two related?" Smith asked with a smile.

"Distant relatives, counting, she is my sister, a very distant relationship. Don't try to figure out the kinship relationship of Chinese descent. In short, she and I..."

"It's relatives who can have children together." Smith said.

"Shut up! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll dismantle your jeep." Jiang Ting went into a rage, her pretty face flushed red.

"Okay, I'm not kidding you two, you're deadly." Smith raised his hands in surrender, and then complained, "But you can't worship her so blindly, I don't think the military action plan she made this time is reliable. She seems to be planning a personal hero show, and the plan itself is entirely up to her. I guess [-]% of it will be rejected by the upper echelons."

"Okay, let's make a bet. I bet the major general is right, and the higher-ups will approve. The loser will swim naked in the sea!"

"Wow, it's such a big game, okay, it's a bet."

***

"Even if you approve it, I won't use it."

Tian Yang, the bet master, was sitting in the car at the moment, when she heard Xue Lun beside her say to her seriously.

"That's impossible, then I will lose a lot." She said, "You are my secret weapon. To tell you the truth, I am planning to use you to conquer Lemuria. If you are afraid How can I carry out my plan?"

Sharon looked at her speechlessly.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something dirty on my face?" Tianyang asked.

"Do you not care about the side effects of time going backwards?" Sharon asked.

"Isn't it clear what the side effect is? As long as it's not life-threatening, it doesn't matter. Soldiers will be injured when they go to the battlefield anyway. I'm honorably wounded." Tian Yang looked indifferent.

Sharon felt a bit of a headache, so she couldn't help but raised her hands and pressed her temples on both sides.

"Hey, I said why you look different today, so it's the clothes you're wearing today." Tianyang suddenly changed the subject, "Hehe, it's the first time I see you dressed like a school girl, it's pretty cool Youthful and beautiful."

"This is... the clothes your cousin gave me. I haven't had time to change them yet." Xue Lun said expressionlessly.She stayed overnight at Mo's house yesterday, and she didn't bring a change of clothes. She could only go out in this jacket, jeans, and sneakers in the morning, and she never had time to change.

"My cousin? Ah, you mean Aunt Kexin? Hahahaha, this is her taste."

Sharon: "..."

"In the future, you should wear some clothes like this. Adding a suit to your body all day long makes me feel so stiff when I look at it."

Isn't it the basic etiquette of British nobles to wear a suit to go out?Sharon complained inwardly.

"Hey, let me ask you a question. Don't mind." Tianyang said.

Knowing I would mind, can't you not ask?Sharon continued to complain inwardly.

"Isn't your dressing style like this six years ago? Didn't you wear skirts, high heels, or that kind of girly dress?"

Sharon knew that she would ask this question, but she didn't intend to answer it, she closed her eyes and meditated to respond.

Unexpectedly, the guy who sold his teammates was driving ahead. Old Jack suddenly smiled, clicked a panel button next to the driver's seat, turned on the screen on the back of the passenger seat, called up a photo album, and said:

"This is the old lady's photo."

"Wow!" Tianyang exclaimed exaggeratedly, and the first photo caught her attention.The Sharon in the photo is completely different from her now.Wearing a white and elegant long dress, with her long hair rolled up, and wearing a delicate parasol, she smiled beautifully at the camera, but there was still a noble pride in her eyes.It can be seen that this photograph was taken in the garden of the old Spencer house.

"Uncle Jack!" Sharon's face turned red immediately, and she raised her hand to turn off the screen, but was blocked by Tian Yang's hand.Xue Lun wanted to break through Tianyang's defense, but unexpectedly, Tianyang was so powerful that he even blocked her mechanical arm.The space in the car was narrow, and she really couldn't reach the screen for a while, so she could only get entangled with Tianyang.

With Tianyang's other hand, he flicked the screen quickly, browsing through the photos in the album.The Sharon in these photos is many times more cheerful and sunny than she is now. At that time, she looked so young, only about thirteen or fourteen years old, and she was a carefree girl who dressed herself up every day Beautiful, enjoying life.When Sharon found the photo of her wearing the uniform of Eton College, her eyes lit up immediately. Wearing the uniform, she looked even more outstanding, and at first glance she was an extremely outstanding top student.

The last photo in the album is fixed in front of the chapel of Eton College.There was a sign for the entrance ceremony at the door, and the two girls stood side by side by the sign, smiling and taking this picture.In the photo, Xue Lun no longer wears her uniform. She is wearing a summer uniform of the Air Force, with a ponytail and a big-brimmed hat. She looks heroic.Her eyes fell on the girl next to her intentionally or unintentionally, but she didn't look at the camera. This photo was probably captured.

The girl beside her was wearing the uniform of Eton College, half a head shorter than Sharon, with a slender figure.She wore a corsage welcoming newborns on her chest, her long beautiful flaxen-colored curly hair hung over her shoulders, and she smiled very softly.That picturesque and beautiful appearance is really unforgettable at a glance.Especially her pair of amber eyes, which seem to contain a layer of intoxicating light, are charming and charming. When she smiles, she shows a pleasing lying silkworm. It was really an angelic smile, inexplicably reminding Tianyang of Aphrodite in Greek mythology.Look carefully, although the girl's eyes are looking at the camera, her hand is mischievously grabbing the hand of Sharon next to her, which is why Sharon didn't look at the camera, but looked at her.

For some reason, Tianyang felt a pang of sadness in his heart, and the joy of seeing the photo dissipated inexplicably.

"Have you seen enough?" Xue Lun asked coldly from her side, and then she leaned forward and turned off the screen with a "snap". This time, the sky was not blocking her.

Sharon looked out of the car window on the other side alone, without saying a word.After a while, Tianyang curled the corners of his lips and said:

"She's really beautiful."

She saw that in the reflection of the car window, Sharon's lips were pursed into a thin line, so she didn't speak any more.

"Here we are." Old Jack broke the silence.Thirteenth Street West Gallery, the car is now parked on the side of the street where the gallery is located.

Sharon regained his energy and got out of the car. Tianyang didn't follow immediately because Old Jack took advantage of Sharon's getting out of the car and suddenly said to her:

"I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness. Our eldest lady didn't mean to lose her temper with you, but she misses the second lady so much. She never looks at the photos, nor does she recall the past. I just hope she can accept the reality more or less, With you by her side, she has become much happier recently."

"Well, I understand." Tianyang smiled, she tightened her hand holding the door handle, and repeated firmly again, "I understand."

The author has something to say: these two chapters are not in a hurry to push the plot, but mainly focus on the emotions and psychology of the characters.Ke Lun's length is not long, and the plot is fast-paced. Basically, the background that needs to be explained has been explained by now.I hope that students can discuss the plot and comment more, Xiaoshu is very grateful. 【Fist】
