MECHANICAL: Mechanism

The Banquet Pool went through the last re-examination and passed the recovery period smoothly. A few days after Elwitt left Galactica, he also returned to the voyage with Titan.At this time, the news of his marriage to Alwitt was widely known, and it became extremely popular on the Internet. Instead, the Titans found out after eating melons on the Internet, so they were very dissatisfied.

But the timing was special, they had a mission, and Yanchi had low air pressure written all over them, so a happy event that was supposed to be noisy, but now it was a sneaky discussion, no one dared to ask Yanchi what was going on.

Yanchi didn't lose his temper, it was easy to see.In fact, the longer I stay with Alwitt, the more infected I am, and my style gradually moves closer to him. I seldom use my personal feelings when working. Although I am not angry or uncomfortable, but I will not let Emotions affect your judgment.His depression is really just a sequela of the separation, so it is difficult to get rid of.

Realizing that his emotions had been exposed to affect the entire atmosphere of the legion, Yan Chi also tried to regain his usual appearance.Juana's reassurance has also paid off. At least now that Banquet walks through the crowd, she won't receive too many eyes that imply worry and surprise.

Their new base is around the No.15 Legion, and the headquarters is temporarily established here, forming a new center to deal with matters related to the Muren Rebel Army.Yanchi actually felt that his authority had swelled to an unprecedented level overnight, as if he had the final say on all matters in this field, but he did not feel complacent or complacent.

Every time an order is sent out, a place will be burned to scorched earth, and every time the army is dispatched, people will die. For a person like Yan Chi who is already full of critical spirit, this is too much a challenge for himself.

Besides, in fact, it is not entirely up to him to decide.Now he is commanded by veteran army commanders who are theoretically equal to him. Some are rebellious and stubborn, and it is not easy to speak out.Besides, Yanchi has just acquired another identity, that is, Elwitt's partner.Normally, this news is easy to digest, but if the person who shocked the whole network came to him and became his immediate boss, it would not be so easy.

For ordinary people, it is not easy to accept this matter, and it is difficult for them to say that Yanchi is invulnerable.These people can't doubt Elwitt, but they can criticize Yanchi exhaustively. The worst thing Yanchi has heard so far is probably "Why does he have a good butt?"

Strange to say, the Alwitt in these people's mouths is pure and flawless, and it is impossible for him to make a wrong choice if he is smart and wise, but Yanchi blinded him and deceived him with his beauty and flesh.The logic error was so horrible that Yanchi didn't even want to say anything.

In most cases, the meeting is full of sharp words and swords. Yanchi thinks that he is not a person who loves to fight, but now he is alone and helpless. Even with the name of a commander, he would be isolated without hesitation.At this time, I have to thank Morris for his many years of nurturing. Sometimes Yanchi never thought that he could mock people so coldly.

"You are all outstanding veterans on the battlefield, you should understand what kind of critical situation we are facing now. I can understand your urgent need for extermination, but you must also be able to distinguish between primary and secondary! If the plan fails, who is responsible Who is going to apologize! I am young, and I always have an open-minded learning attitude in front of everyone, but I will not back down even if I should not give up my responsibilities. If you think that I am not worthy of virtue and not qualified, you can report and protest , I have nothing to say!"

When he was besieged for the first time, Yanchi couldn't bear it any longer. He thumped the table and uttered harsh words.He knew in his heart that these people had seen too many young officers of his age, they didn't take him seriously at all, and naturally they didn't think he was qualified enough to dictate in front of their seniors.They dare not question Erwitt's abolishment of the public, because Erwitt's authority has been established for too long, and his image has become a shining golden statue. Denying the cornerstone on which the military was built.But they felt that they couldn't swallow this breath if they wanted a young brat to command them with a big sword, so they could only run the banquet with you and me.If he endured it, he would lose his command step by step from today on.

This cannot happen.Yanchi knew why he was here.The army is a flood, and he is a gate. This place must not get out of control and fall into meaningless hatred and anger towards the Laimu people.

On the other hand, Yanchi is actually not afraid of these people.As for the senior military generals he has met, whether it is Elwitt or Mingguang Palace, Artemis, which one is not more unpredictable than these people?In terms of what he experienced, the chaos on Lion King was extremely difficult and dangerous, not to mention that he almost died in the defense of Galactica. angry.

Yanchi didn't want to be so strong at first, and when he saw that he lost his temper, Juana immediately cast a worried look.

He knew what Juana was worried about, but just coddling these people didn't lead to good results. It was obviously a waste of time to make them look at him with admiration and reverse their views through strength, and it was too wishful thinking to predict the situation.It was only at this time that Yanchi realized that he was no longer the former Yanchi. At least his thinking mode was very Elwitt. The only difference was that he was more flexible in his operation methods.

After all, these generals are all respectable people. Yanchi's sudden attack is actually very young. If there is a disagreement, they will let them take the lead. They don't want to endure in front of the young people's violent temper, but they can think of complaining. Reporting, but also feel that the reasons are too insufficient, of course, it is Yanchi who can't hold back when speaking out, children's temper, they can't be much better.He was so excited by them when he first arrived.Yanchi made a youthful and immature comment, but theirs was much worse.

So although they couldn't change their tone immediately, they all fell silent.

They calmed down, and Yan Chi immediately changed his expression. The annoyed look just disappeared completely, and his expression was even a little unfathomable. He retracted his hands supporting the conference table, sat down again, straightened his clothes, propped his chin, and spoke The speed also slowed down: "I know everyone's concerns. I am still young. It is very reasonable for you to have such and such worries. But I put my ugly words first. If I am negligent, I will admit it myself and write a military order. If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent, and I am willing, and you should know my determination, and you should also know what your responsibilities are."

So, why does it sound like a threat?

Juana was just a meeting recorder, and generally speaking, she couldn't speak rashly, so she looked at the banquet pool in surprise, a little bit of surprise.The Yanchi she saw was either a very talkative army leader, or a very reliable army leader. She had never seen Yanchi's painting style with a calm sentence and a knife buried underneath, so she felt that it was not simple. .

She is a well-deserved direct descendant of Yanchi, so she naturally felt honored, but the several legion leaders present at the meeting exchanged glances and died down.

It is not easy to test out the banquet pool, and this is not too bad a result, after all, he can hold back, not as he has shown before, he has no city, and it is not bad at all.Their original intention was not to commit suicide, besides everyone knows that Yanchi is not to mention Alwitt’s obvious direct lineage, or even Alwitt’s spouse, offending him is equivalent to affecting Alwitt’s warning line, it may not be possible Harmful to others, but definitely not beneficial to oneself.

To say why they are so annoying, it is actually a harsh self-purification mechanism.This matter is extraordinary, the task is not simple, and the burden is very heavy, if Yanchi can't convince others, if he doesn't have some real skills, it's better to leave as soon as possible, so as not to cause actual losses and injuries.Now that he is quite strong, he is really doing what he said when he was working, collecting opinions from multiple parties, not arbitrary, much softer than when he said nothing, so this new system continues to run smoothly day by day. up.

Conquering these people was the first hurdle for Yanchi. He successfully passed it, and Astoria arrived late with the diplomatic working group.

When I came here, it was the autumn of the No.15 Corps. The sky was clear and the sky was high and the clouds were light. Yan Chi stood in front of the temporarily requisitioned administrative building to greet her with a cigarette in his mouth. They were very casual with each other.

Yanchi used to be a little addicted to cigarettes, not serious, but he would smoke a little every few days.This is the problem with growing up in the military camp, and I will always develop some bad habits unconsciously.After arriving in Sunell, life in Yanchi became extremely exciting, but I forgot about smoking for a long time. Now that the pressure is high and the environment is like this, I pick it up.

Astoria squinted her eyes slightly in the sunlight, looking at the young officer in the distance.His military uniform is not strict enough, but he has another charm, like a jackal in rest period, lazy, with smooth fur, relaxed muscles but still powerful enough, he can jump up and bite off the opponent's throat at the slightest provocation, vitality Exuberant and tenacious.

Compared to the first time Elwitt saw him, he was completely reborn, his childishness was completely gone, and he even had a bit of a sense of maturity brought about by heavy work. His eyebrows were not much different from before, but his expression had completely changed.

Is already an adult.

When Astoria walked over, Yan Chi also threw away his cigarette butts and came up to him. After all, they were no strangers to each other, so they hugged quickly, and then parted ways to exchange greetings: "Long time no see, how are you?"

In fact, it didn't take long to say it, but after all, it was a small talk, and no one insisted on words.Yanchi smiled: "I'm fine, and I think you are fine too."

This is true, as long as you don't die, it's good.After all, Astoria is a closely guarded person, and the level of security can be said to be impregnable. Generally speaking, there will be no harm.She smiled, smelled a bit of mellow tobacco aroma, and thought, this smell is quite strong.

Today is not the time for a meeting, Astoria also came here suddenly, there are not many people to greet her, after entering, the two of them looked like they wanted to talk first, and they both stopped outside Yanchi's office tactfully, Only Yanchi's adjutant came in to serve tea and water.Astoria said thank you when she took the water glass, and then asked directly to Yanchi: "Give me a cigarette."

Yan Chi was a little surprised, raised his eyebrows to look at her, and thought to himself, he didn't know that man-made people could also be addicted to cigarettes.But he still gave her a cigarette in time, Astoria obviously didn't bring a fire, Yanchi was about to stand up and light her, but the adjutant snapped his fingers.

He has one thing in common with Yanchi, that is, the abilities are all related to fire.

Yan Chi was taken aback again, but it was quite understandable.Astoria's appearance was too bluffing, and the young man who was courting her thought he would follow suit, so he didn't take it too seriously.Astoria was even more indifferent. She took a deep breath of the familiar and unfamiliar smoke, and then slowly exhaled it. Her expression became much lazier. She leaned back on the chair and looked at the void where the green smoke gradually dissipated. He sighed softly, his voice was faint, and he started to talk about business: "I've heard it all, it's really hard work for you."

What she said was the difficulty that Yanchi encountered in carrying out his work.Yanchi was not surprised that she was well-informed, and just shook his head when he heard the words: "After all, it has been resolved now."

Astoria raised her eyes, glanced at him, stopped mentioning this, and instead congratulated him: "I haven't congratulated you on your marriage to Erwitt yet. Although this came a bit hastily, it was expected It is bound to happen, so it is indeed a good thing.”

She obviously had a lot of emotion about it, but she didn't express it.Yan Chi was very clear about the many considerations between the two, and nodded when he heard the words, and accepted it happily without further questioning: "Thank you, I also think this may be the best way."

No matter who among them died and who lived, at least it was already an indelible relationship between life and death.

Astoria stared at him for a moment, thinking of many things, and felt that these two people were too single-minded, and it was a match made in heaven to be able to get married. Compared with her own luck, the timing was also much better. The mood is more complicated.But now is not the time to talk about this, she turned her eyes, looked at the water glass in her hand, and started to talk about the business: "How is the battle going?"

Yanchi understood that what she cared about was when she could start working, so she gave a very concise answer: "The battle damage ratio is not bad, and the main force of their rebel army has been controlled at present, and the guerrillas are not easy to pursue. Mainly, I think that in two or three days, we will be able to submit the request for negotiation."

His judgment is very accurate. Although war consumes people's sensitivity very much, it will also sharpen their ability to judge fire and smoke. At least Yanchi can now almost feel when Astoria can play her role up.

Astoria nodded: "Yes."

Yanchi hesitated for a moment, and then asked her: "Actually, although I have gradually realized that my behavior is getting closer and closer to yours—you know what I mean when I say you and us," Astoria nodded Feng, who was quite interested, waited for him to finish: "But in fact, my thinking is still very different from yours. Do you think this will be the difference between me and Elwitt?"

In fact, he has had this idea in his heart for a long time.

Yan Chi thinks that the difference between himself and Elwitt is not a political difference, but the most fundamental difference. The root cause of this problem is actually the difference in the purpose of the two parties, and even the difference in origin.He has accepted Erwitt's style without forcing himself to accept it, but will Erwitt be disappointed with him?Yanchi could vaguely sense that Elwitt had certain expectations for him, not just his military exploits, not just his military rank, but his growth, his changes, and his evolution as a whole.

Will this create an eventual divide?

After thinking about it for a while, Yanchi felt that he was really wronged.He has tried his best, and he doesn't think this disagreement is a very important matter, but he is also very afraid that he will not be able to meet Elwitt's expectations of him.He couldn't catch up with Elwitt's demands on him, which caused the two to break up, Yanchi's hair shuddered when he thought about the possibility.

He spoke briefly, but since it was not the first time that the two of them discussed the issue of values, Astoria's memory was definitely not bad, so she understood easily, nodded to indicate that he had received his message, and then After thinking about it, he replied with certainty: "I don't think so."

Yan Chi hesitated to speak: "Are you too sure?"

Astoria shook her head: "You still don't know me well enough, nor do you know the way we look at things."

Yanchi maintained a blank expression.

Astoria further explained: "During all the past moments, have I, Alwitt, been instilling in you any values, any methods and perspectives of looking at the world?"

This is true, Yan Chi often feels that he may be the only one who is struggling with what he thinks, what they think, why they are different, and whether he wants to get closer.Now he is also uneasy because he feels that he seems to be unable to get close.

Astoria knew the answer just by looking at his expression, so she continued: "Only you care about right or wrong."

Banquet Pool: "..."

Yes!Astoria, when have they ever cared whose opinion is right and whose opinion is wrong!They are extreme pragmatists at all, as long as it is useful, they will do it even if they are guilty of death!What the hell is he thinking? !

Yan Chi's expression was horrible.

Astoria wanted to laugh a little, but she quickly calmed down after raising the corners of her mouth. In order not to let Yanchi feel angry, she continued to explain: "I can understand why you care about these issues, and you don't need to be ashamed at all. People After all, only thinking exists, otherwise it is reed. It is much better if you are willing to face this kind of problem that will bring you pain than to close your eyes and listen to it. You can also relax on this kind of problem, because Ai Corvette is definitely the same as me. I don’t care what you think, only what you do. The same approach can have different specific operations, and the same result can also be brought about by different methods. In all fairness, you think I’m doing the right thing I have to do it, I do it wrong, I do it right, I do it evil, I have to do it. I don't care what you think, I don't care how you judge, do you understand? For us, the individual is a concept that doesn’t exist.”

Yan Chi showed an enlightened expression.

It wasn't the first time he was aware of it, but it was the first time Astoria said the argument that individuals don't exist for artificial humans.

Her meaning is very clear. After all, the purpose of artificial people is to save all mankind. They always focus on groups, individual feelings, judgments, and fate. They have nothing to do with them, let alone their work scope. Of course, they don’t exist of.

Yan Chi's mood was complicated, he didn't know whether he should say that you guys are really cold and heartless, or that he was relieved.

Astoria saw that he was indecisive, but she didn't say anything further.

In the final analysis, she has no direct emotional connection with Yanchi, and the reason why she was able to chat deeply inexplicably is probably because she is older and softer in heart, and she and Alwitt always have the same kind of feelings that have been together for a long time, so I can help him That is to say, if it were anyone, Astoria would almost make the same choice.

This kind of help is actually irrelevant, let alone harmless, and what she said is all the truth.

Because of his neglect of details, it took a day or two for Yanchi to realize that his adjutant seemed interested in Astoria.

In front of Yanchi, he had already found a reason for the adjutant's little hospitality. There are too many young people in the army who are attracted by the artificial man, and Yanchi himself is the most successful person among them, so it is inconvenient to say anything more, and he clicked his tongue in his heart. .

As far as he knew, the men who had an affair with Astoria all ended abruptly. In this sense, Astoria is a black widow to the letter, and the courage of the adjutant is also extraordinary.

But after all, the adjutant was so restrained, he didn't show it directly, and he didn't put on a posture of pursuing her in this life. After Yanchi found out, he held back for a long time, but he didn't know how to persuade the adjutant to calm down and stop dreaming. up.

Before the other party revealed that he had this intention, Yan Chi went up to manage other people's emotional problems first, and always felt that something was wrong.He has always been a person who respects the self-choice of his subordinates. After thinking about it, it is nothing more than harvesting a broken heart. Besides, Astoria can see that there is no such meaning at all, so there is nothing to worry about up.

Turning his head to pay attention to the latest battle report, he found that they had captured the leader of the rebel army.

Why is he the leader of the rebel army again?

Yanchi recalled a certain Laimu who was let go and killed by himself, and thought, it seems that he probably has many stories to happen with the leader of the rebel army.
