The alliance forced me to treat the admiral

"Your mother, the director of space... has been suspended for investigation."

Kelly clasped his hands and put them on the table, his eyes were heavy and his brows were wrinkled.

The first sentence is inexplicably heavy.

In the closed room, the lighting is dim, and the plain walls and tabletops reflect the crystal blue fluorescent screen in the center. The clear smell of disinfectant permeates the air, making the atmosphere more serious.

Kelly sighed deeply, and secretly opened one eye to look at the other side, wanting to see if his senior's reaction when he heard this, would be so panic-stricken that he lost his mind.

But let him down, Min Zheng didn't lift his eyelids, his expression was extremely calm.

"Really, then she should be going crazy with joy now."

Kelly raised his hand and stroked his forehead, lamenting that he was not at odds with this senior Shi Shi.

"It's not happy, um..." Kelly recalled the empty face at that time: "Crazy should be going crazy."

"Someone impeached her for abusing her power, regarding the review of the exploration and mining of rare ores in extraterrestrial galaxies."

"The specific reason seems to be... maliciously intercepting rare ore information, unreasonably delaying the mining progress, and hindering the development of ore energy research. Tsk, this reason is really not level." Kelly curled his lips.

"The combat process we made up before is more credible than this!"

Mineral energy is indeed the lifeline of the alliance's military and economy.

Whether it is a mech or an interstellar warship, rare ore is used as the core power source.

Some ores with special radiation can even become a breakthrough in the development of new weapons.

However, there are serious troubles in the ore industry, involving too many positions and fields, and some black-box operations are almost acquiesced by the alliance's top management.

Some people use this excuse to attack Kongyan, or they are just looking for trouble, or...

It's just that some people can't sit still.

"It's been suspended for about three hours, but the Space-Time Administration can't do without her in charge. There is a backlog of documents on the report. Without the final approval of the director, they cannot be assigned and executed, and the work progress has stagnated."

"There was no other way. The Bureau of Justice issued a special order to allow the work and investigation to be carried out at the same time. After all, the areas that need to be investigated are only part of Director Kong's authority and do not conflict with other tasks. However, just in case, the Bureau of Justice temporarily confiscated the investigation. The director's personal terminal, and she was ordered not to leave the designated office location, nor to use other channels other than the official channel."

Kong Yan laughed angrily after hearing this ridiculous order.

This is clearly a disguised form of detention.

survey?

Row!

This cunning and cruel young lady very caringly used her highest authority to call up audit documents related to minerals for more than ten years, and listed in detail the list of people who handled them for their investigation and records.

All the documents add up to be enough for them to look at them without sleep for a month.

I don't have to rest and be free, you just stay here and work overtime with me!

Don't have a hard time, everyone!

Kelly considered his words for a while, and then said slowly: "A few days ago, the director of the air space contacted me and asked me to come and tell you that she is fine, so you don't have to worry about her."

Quite a ghost!

If it wasn't for the video communication, he would have believed it!

The woman on the screen has disheveled hair, black eye sockets, bloodshot eyes, and a tired face, but her eyes are bright and fierce, as if spewing fire.

"I'm fine" was said by her through gritted teeth, full of resentment.

If it wasn't for the daytime, Kelly would have wondered if he saw a female ghost...

Min Zheng nodded, saying that he didn't worry if he didn't worry, and he didn't have the self-consciousness of being a son: "Then it's fine, she will take care of it."

Kelly was a little depressed about this inexplicable message: "You said that since the director can contact me, why didn't she contact you directly, and asked me to pass the message in the name of visiting..."

Min Cheng glanced at him with a calm expression: "My official communication line is not safe."

Kelly was stunned for a moment, but didn't ask any more questions.

Min Zheng frowned when he saw the document on the screen: "Has the truce been issued?"

"Well," when it came to this, Kelly spread his hands a little helplessly: "Yes, the Empire is very sincere and wants a permanent truce, and now the interstellar documents have been publicized. Tsk, the one on the surface has done a good job . Most of us on our side agreed with the proposal."

Empires and alliances have a long history.

The alliance is an emerging interstellar regime split from the old empire, and it has natural institutional advantages compared to the empire that retains the monarchy.

The imperial regime, which inherited most of the territory of the old empire, has been trying to annex the territory of the alliance.

Decades ago, the empire took the lead in developing a special drug against the Zerg. Since then, the Zerg no longer poses a threat to humans. Humans began to occupy the planet territory unscrupulously. The empire also focused its strategy on attacking the alliance.

For a long time, the overall strength of the empire has been higher than that of the alliance. In addition, it has resisted the Zerg's external expansion and discovered and occupied a large number of rare minerals. The military power has been greatly improved, and it has a tendency to dominate the entire interstellar.

But the good times didn't last long, the struggle for power and profit within the empire was serious, the backward and complicated system design became a drag, the class gap widened, and the economy gradually weakened.

Coupled with repeated defeats in the interstellar battlefield in recent years, especially after the alliance appointed Min Zheng as the commander-in-chief, the empire suffered heavy losses, morale was greatly reduced, and its overall strength was not as good as before. It turned from prosperity to decline in just a few years.

After listening to Kelly's brief explanation, Min Cheng roughly understood the current situation.

He was silent for a moment, tapped the table with his fingers, and said in a deep voice: "A permanent truce is impossible. Within two years at most, the Empire and the Alliance will go to war again. This point is also clear to those in power in the Empire."

Kelly nodded, leaned back, and said, "The empire's request for a truce is nothing more than to paralyze us and delay the deadline for the final decisive battle. First, to restore vitality, and second, to allow enough time for the forces they have placed in the alliance territory Carry out their plans."

"I understand that the teacher and the others want to secure the inside first and then fight the outside. Well... this is also very good, so that the next time you start a war, you have to guard against the people around you, and the commander can't let go."

"Oh, yes," Kelly straightened up abruptly, opened the terminal, and slid out a document: "There is one more thing to tell you."

"The ore brought by Lieutenant General Dean can indeed interfere with the electromagnetic field inside the mecha after testing, but the range is limited, and the effect is limited to the mecha, and has no effect on the starship."

"The front-line exploration team came back and reported that the same kind of ore was found on the planet Visbania. The output is quite large, and the quality is uneven. Senior, I still suspect that there is something wrong with Dean." Kelly frowned, eyes full of dignified.

Min Cheng glanced at the information above and thought for a moment.

"Kelly, help me bring a sentence to the teacher."

······

Outside the room, Wei Xi and Shang Xuechu sat facing each other, each sipped the black tea in their cups, smiled at each other, then put down their tea cups, raised their heads, and smiled again.

Speechless.

The scene was a little awkward.

Originally, the word embarrassment was against the two of them.

Wei Xi has struggled in various environments since he was a child. Most of the time, it is his job not to embarrass the scene. Falsehood and submissiveness are basic skills.

And Shang Xuechu, as the sole heir of the merchant, has read thousands of sails since he was a child, and he is good at dancing with long sleeves.The business started as a business, and its industries spread all over the alliance. Under the influence of this environment, Shang Xuechu was very good at winning favor and winning people's hearts.

But the current situation is indeed a bit embarrassing.

From the first time they saw each other, they smelled the same kind of breath.

The thousand-year-old fox met for the first time, and did not intend to play Liaozhai.

The two, who are used to acting, began to try how to communicate sincerely with strangers they met for the first time.

Wei Xi looked at Shang Xuechu who was facing him, and sighed that she really deserved to be taught by a big family. Her temperament and appearance were far better than those of the noble children he had seen before, and her every move was intellectually elegant.

The big and bright almond eyes, the small Qiong nose, the delicate chin, and the slightly baby-fat face dilute the sense of distance between the delicate facial features, and the whole person looks very friendly.

If Kongyan is a knife inlaid with precious gemstones, with a sharp edge like autumn frost, then this Miss Shang in front of her is like a pearl, graceful, luxurious, elegant and magnificent, exuding a harmonious light all over her body.

Although when Shang Xuechu looked at each other just now, there was no doubt that there was a sense of scrutiny in Shang Xuechu's eyes, but who is this young lady? She is the heir of the business. He would feel strange if he didn't feel this scrutiny.

Moreover, compared to the cloudy eyes full of lust that I have seen before, this Miss Shang's eyes are clear and clean, from which she can capture pure kindness and concern, making it difficult for people to feel unhappy.

Shang Xuechu was also looking at the young man in front of him.

She wandered around the business district with her parents since she was a child, met many people and saw many things, but no one could surprise her like this.

Before coming here, she had heard Wei Xi's name from Kelly, and also asked him what kind of person he was.

Gentle, good-natured, good-looking.

That's what Kelly said.

Upon hearing this answer, Shang Xuechu rolled her eyes gracefully on the spot, threw herself into Kaili's arms, and raised her hand to ruffle his golden hair.

It was the N+1 time to think about how she, who is so smart and naturally beautiful, fell into the hands of such a straight man!

After saying hello, introducing myself, shaking hands, and meeting for the first time, Shang Xuechu was keenly aware that the other party was by no means a simple person.

According to Kelly, Wei Xi was born as an orphan, the education he received was the unified compulsory education of the Union, and he rarely had the opportunity to contact the upper circles. He is picky, knows how to measure, and knows how to advance and retreat. Even the children of those big families can't find a few people who can do better than him.

He looks really good, with fair skin, a slender body but not thin, with beautiful facial features, not as tough and rough as ordinary men, and not as feminine as women, it is the most unguardable appearance.

What surprised Shang Xuechu most were those eyes.

Danfeng's eyes were upturned, and they were originally sharp eyes, but the face of the young man in front of him was exceptionally soft.The slightly upward arc when smiling is easy to remind people of beautiful things.

The eyes looking at him are frank and direct, neither humble nor overbearing, generous, and will not appear at a loss because of the inherent identity difference.

Conclusion: He is a smart person who is transparent, tough and has his own bottom line.

Such a person can be a true friend.

"Sister Xuechu, I can call you that."

In the end, it was Wei Xi who started the topic first.

"Well, yes, after all, I am two years older than you," Shang Xuechu smiled slightly, and took a sip from her teacup: "But if you really want to count seniority, you should be a generation older than me."

"Admiral Min Zheng should be considered my teacher. After doing the math, should I call your teacher's wife~" Under Wei Xi's slightly puzzled gaze, Shang Xuechu blinked playfully.

Wei Xi smiled a little embarrassedly, knowing it in his heart.

Wei Xi had heard Min Zheng talk about Shang Xuechu before.

Kong Yan's mother is a merchant.

When Kongyan was still young, Kongyan's parents died in a battle.Afterwards, Kongyan was raised in the merchant and received a lot of care from the merchant.

Afterwards, Kong Yan held a high position, and the relationship with the merchant has never been broken. The owner of the merchant asked Kong Yan for help, and Kong Yan naturally would not refuse.

The content of the help is to give the merchant's only heir, Shang Xuechu, mental strength training.

Shang Xuechu is an ordinary person, she has not awakened her spiritual power.

Although there are more ordinary people among the children of big families, the businessmen are different.

It can be said that the merchant's industry controls the economic lifeline of the alliance, and is closely related to the political circles and the military.

If Shang Xuechu, as the heir, had no resistance to the coercion of mental power, she would be at a disadvantage in various negotiations, and even leak secrets unknowingly.

However, it is against the regulations to conduct anti-stress training for non-military personnel, so the merchant will ask Kong Yan for help.

After obtaining the tacit consent of the high-level military department, Kong Yan entrusted Min Zheng to train Shang Xuechu.

Mental strength anti-stress training for ordinary sentinel guides has extremely high requirements on the level of the trainer's mental strength, especially this time the trainee is an ordinary person, not only requires the mental strength to reach a tangible and qualitative state, but also requires the use of The person has very fine control over the mental power.

In the entire alliance, it is estimated that only Min Zheng has this strength.

At that time, Min Zheng and Shang Xue were ten years old.

Kong Yan pondered, anyway, Min Zheng didn't have many tasks now, so he could just teach Shang Xuechu the necessary military knowledge and skills, and save the merchants from finding another military expert to teach them.

Naturally, the businessman was also very happy. Min Zheng's military accomplishment was comparable to that of any military expert.

Then, Min Zheng became Shang Xuechu's teacher.

The reasoning is like this, but Wei Xi still feels weird being called teacher's mother by a girl who is older than him.

"...Mother's title is a bit awkward. I am also a student of the general now, so we are still of the same generation. I'd better call you sister."

Shang Xuechu's eyes lit up.

"Have you ever been forced by the general to write down the characteristics of various types of firearms while resisting the coercion of mental power?"

Wei Xi:? ? ?

Ugh?

"No." Shang Xuechu raised her hand to cover her mouth, feeling a little slip of the tongue: "You are his guide, so he shouldn't treat you so rudely."

"But he was very rude to me."

Shang Xuechu sighed lightly.

"To tell you the truth, when I was young, the only thing I thought about the general was..."

"If I can beat him, I will kill him."

Wei Xi:······

Min Zheng and Kelly discussed something good, walked out of the room, and saw Wei Xi and Shang Xuechu's heads were very close to each other in the reception room opposite, and the two had a happy conversation.

The sun outside the window was warm and bright, and it seemed to cast a layer of fluffy light on the two of them.

Kelly stopped and put his hands on Min Zheng's shoulders, with a playful expression on his face: "This scene looks pleasing to the eye, right, senior."

Min Zheng glanced at the hands on his shoulders, didn't answer, and walked straight to the reception room.

He deliberately slowed down his steps, thought for a while, and used a little mental interference.

But it was still found.

Wei Xi turned his head and captured his position accurately, his eyes were bent, and the corners of his mouth were lightly raised.

"Are you done talking?"

Shang Xuechu was a little puzzled.

"What's wrong? There's no one there... ah, Admiral!"

The first time the mental interference was ineffective, Min Zheng was a little frustrated in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and walked slowly to Wei Xi's side, holding his hand.

Kelly came in after Min Zheng, leaned on the back of Shang Xuechu's soft chair, and put his hands on Shang Xuechu's shoulders naturally and affectionately.

"What were you talking about just now? So happy."

Shang Xuechu and Wei Xi looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

"Talking about cooking."

"I just invited Wei Xi to my house to make desserts together, he..."

"Sorry, it probably won't work recently." Min Zheng interrupted her.

Shang Xuechu pursed her lips, very unconvinced.

"I didn't say it was these few days, as long as I have time later."

Min Cheng glanced at her, with a calm expression: "You and Kelly should also get married in the future, are you sure you still have time by then?"

Shang Xuechu still did not give up: "There is always time after marriage..."

Min Zheng ruthlessly exposed her: "After you get married, you should deal with the backlog of documents for several months."

Shang Xuechu:······

Although they are all true, why does it sound so embarrassing.

Min Zheng ignored Shang Xuechu's somewhat resentful eyes, leaned down and whispered something in Wei Xi's ear.

Wei Xi glanced at the time, nodded, got up and waved to Shang Xuechu, smiling: "Sister Xuechu, I'll go first, and I will definitely go to your house for an appointment when I have time later."

After the two left, Shang Xuechu looked at Min Cheng's back and snorted softly.

"Why is the general still so annoying..."

Kelly stroked her hair and sighed, "Is that the first day you met him? He wasn't always like this."

Shang Xuechu turned around and pinched Kelly's face habitually: "But compared to before, the general's temper is much restrained now."

"Sure enough, it's different when you're in love."
