First Family [Interstellar]

Mr Gladstone owned Mrs.Of course, it is obvious that his son, Mr. Gladstone, Jr., would not have been a very honorable legitimate son if he had not had a wife, so Mr. Gladstone must have had a wife.Only, no one ever saw Mrs. Gladstone's wife, never.In the rumors of the empire, the most mysterious person must be this lady.

Some people say that when Mr. Gladstone was in trouble, the lady was by his side and went through adversity. Therefore, when Mr. Gladstone got his current status, he was grateful for his wife's contribution and still paid attention to this. The lady never left.Even though the private lives of Imperial nobles tend to be too chaotic, Mr Gladstone is surprisingly private.Therefore, in the hearts of many aristocratic women who are full of girlish hearts, Mrs. Gladstone must be the luckiest lady in the world. She actually has Mr. Gladstone's love completely.

Of course, apart from these romantic ideas, there are also many people who hold conspiracy theories.

It is generally believed that this lady must have been exhausted for some reason when life was difficult, and she could not receive timely medical treatment. Therefore, she was in poor health and never appeared in the public eye.Of course, there are also many people who have always doubted the relationship between Mr. Gladstone and His Majesty the Emperor, so they think that this smart lady is... avoiding suspicion.There are even more vicious people who think this lady is ugly, so Mr. Gladstone keeps her as his wife on the surface, but he despises her in private.Those who hold this view tend to regard Mr. Gladstone as a hypocrite.

Mr. Gladstone never paid much attention to the various gossips circulating in the empire.He never let his wife stand up to clear himself of certain crimes.

By the way, at the wedding of Mr. Gladstone's only son, Ken Gladstone, this lady did show up.However, at that time, she was just sitting in a box on the second floor, her whole body wrapped in a gray robe, not even a strand of hair was exposed.The rest of the guests were seated on the first floor.After Ken led the bride to bow to the mother on the second floor, the door of the box on the second floor was closed again.The lady came silently and left silently. Except for accepting the salute of her son and bride, she did not participate in any part of the wedding.

In this way, Mrs. Gladstone became an extremely mysterious existence.

And now, the lady was standing in front of Mr. Gladstone, and she said with a bright smile: "Even if you are very happy, please stop drinking. This is not a good thing."

"It's all up to you." Gladstone stuffed the red wine back into the cabinet.

He looked at his wife, through the gray hair and wrinkles, he seemed to be able to see the little girl who made him fall in love.So many years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the marks left by time on them are different.Gladstone is still handsome, but she is old.They stood together no longer like a couple, but more like a mother and child.

But the love in his heart never disappeared.A wise person can always see the more precious heart through the skin.

"Is that junior you admired... the number one beauty in the interstellar world?" The woman walked to the sofa and sat down, asking with a smile.

Mr. Gladstone was rarely...childish in front of his beloved wife. He straightened his cufflinks and asked, "My wife, in your heart, isn't it me who is the most beautiful?"

"I don't need to explain it clearly," the woman said.She had apparently been well looked after by Mr Gladstone.Therefore, in front of the person she loved deeply, she did not feel inferior because of her excessive old age.Perhaps, she also had times of pain, low self-esteem, and times when she couldn't think about it, but in the end she used her optimism and her husband's love to walk out of the negativity.

"That kid killed the Sun family with his own power, and he avenged you. When Oliver died, he was surrounded by wolves. I used to watch him in secret. I thought that if he was not capable enough, I would I will give him a hand. One is because of what he has done to the Sun family, and the other is because of Oliver's affection. However, his performance at that time was very good." In Gladstone's In his cognition, this world belongs to young people after all. Seeing that Lu Guanyu had overcome the biggest crisis by himself, he stopped paying attention to him.

It wasn't until Lu Nan met Sha Sha in the virtual space and became the "fairy godmother" in Sha Sha's mouth that Gladstone remembered Lu Guanyu again.

"I'm sorry I haven't been able to avenge you personally," said Mr Gladstone.

The woman shook her head and said, "You know I don't take that seriously."

Seeing her husband mentioning Oliver, the woman sighed again, and continued, "Oliver was such a funny man, it's always a pity to die young."

When the Gladstones first met Oliver, their baby Ken was in Mrs Gladstone's womb.At that time, the lady's pregnancy reaction was not good, and she was very depressed. Mr. Gladstone hid his identity, arranged everything, and took his wife on vacation.They met Oliver on a flight to a vacation planet.At that time, both parties concealed their identities, but they were still admired by each other's conversation and knowledge.Later, while on vacation, Mr. Oliver even saved Mrs. Gladstone and her unborn baby by chance.

Oliver was Mrs. Gladstone's savior as much as Mr. Gladstone's own savior.Out of respect for the savior, after the holiday, Mr. Gladstone did not investigate Oliver's true identity.Of course, at the same time, their identities as husband and wife were also concealed from Oliver.They occasionally meet in the virtual space, like old friends, chat and drink tea, talk about the weather and art.After Oliver died and his old friend didn't show up for a long time, Mr. Gladstone learned the truth through investigation.

As for the Sun family, it was really a coincidence that they were enemies of both Oliver and Mrs. Gladstone.

"Remember how he mentioned his adopted son in front of us? There was never a good word. Now it seems that it was because he was too hard on his adopted son. After all, as far as I know, his adopted son He is also an excellent young man, not inferior to our Ken." Gladstone said objectively.Standing in the position of an elder, he has a very high opinion of Lu Guanyu.

The woman couldn't help laughing, and said, "But you will become rivals in the end." Her smile carried the elegance that had accumulated over the years.

"There are many kinds of opponents, some are disgusting and some are respectable. It is always a pleasure to meet an opponent." Mr. Gladstone smiled exactly like his wife.He has always been aware of Lu Guanyu's defense against him, and he has no intention of dispelling this defense.Because he had vaguely guessed what Lu Guanyu was going to do.That being the case, they will inevitably become rivals.

Of course, those uncertain futures in the early days of things didn't prevent them from working with each other now.

Time passed and many days passed.The opinion of the upper echelons of the Empire was very unfavorable to Mr. Gladstone.

There is even news that Mr. Gladstone's wife was born in the lowest class of slaves.Therefore, after Mr. Gladstone became famous, the lady who was awarded the title of nobility because of her husband never appeared in public.As we all know, Rothhars feel a level of deterrence.If this lady was really born as a slave, then she would be frightened tremblingly at the aristocratic banquet with people coming and going, and she would definitely be embarrassed at that time.In other words, it must be because she is a slave herself that she stays behind closed doors!

It is precisely because of this that Mr. Gladstone will speak out for slaves, right?

The imperial class has existed for tens of thousands of years, and the hierarchical system is deeply rooted in everyone's mind.Therefore, as soon as this rumor spread, Mr. Gladstone's image among the nobles declined again and again, and some people even proposed to deprive him of his noble status. These people strongly demanded that the Gladstone family re-elect the patriarch. .

"Let him hug his lowly and dirty blooded wife to fend for himself!" These were the original words of those people.

Not to mention nobles, even many commoners seem to dare to look down on Mr. Gladstone.In front of slaves, civilians have a natural superiority.Even they disdain the company of slaves, and Mr. Gladstone married a slave?Oh my God, Gladstone has lost his dignity.

Perhaps, only in the hearts of the slaves, the image of Mr. Gladstone has become greater?

At this time, the Emperor of the Empire still stood firmly on Mr. Gladstone's side.I don't know what enchanted soup Gladstone gave the emperor.And because of the high concentration of imperial power in the empire, as long as there was the support of the emperor, even if countless nobles opposed it, the slave protection treaty proposed by Gladstone was still implemented.By the way, the family behind Gladstone also silently stood by his side.Thanks to Gladstone's perfect control over the family over the years, no one took advantage of the chaos to drive him out of power at this time.

The entire empire was in turmoil, and everything seemed like the last calm before the storm.

At the same time, the Federation is also facing great turmoil.The evidence provided by Eumenides is too detailed. The federal government, which claims to be free, equal, and fair, has no way to cover up the crimes of some people. Therefore, Marshal Chu Jianbai has been arrested urgently and is under investigation.But things won't end so easily, and the interests behind it will take some time to straighten out.Chu Jianbai was not the only one who committed the crime or was going to take the blame.Moreover, after Chu Jianbai stepped down, the Third Army, which was originally under his control, also faced issues such as the re-division of power, which also took time.

People in the small cabinet want to get the big benefits, and they try to increase their right to speak.The government faction and military hardliners are also unwilling to let go of this opportunity.

From a certain point of view, Chu Jianbai's fall was a signal, a signal that made the three factions lose their balance and gave one of them a chance to win over the other two.

What's more, the timing of Chu Jianbai's fall was too coincidental, or the timing chosen by the Eumenides Pirates was too coincidental.

This coincided with a new round of elections for the government.

In the eyes of countless politicians, this is an opportunity!A rare opportunity!

But this is not what ordinary people want to see.In the past few hundred years, the pirate group was really too arrogant. How many innocent people died at the hands of pirates?The people simply don't want to give the military and political parties so much time. They only know that there are already many very detailed evidences proving that Marshal Chu Jianbai colluded with the pirates, so they want to see this person sent to the execution ground immediately.

Besides, besides Chu Jianbai, are the other generals and marshals clean?Chu Jianbai only became a marshal more than ten years ago, and he has not even been in power of the Third Army for less than 20 years.But the Red Scorpions have been around for over 300 years!In the past years, how many marshals were really clean?This is really chilling!

Well, let’s not mention those who were in power in the past, but the man in black who brought the truth to the people also said that there are also military people behind the Hydra pirates.How should this be calculated?

What have the government's supervision and inspection departments been doing over the years? !In those shadows where the sun does not shine, how many evils are still breeding? !It can be said that the appearance of the men in black has reduced the credibility of the federal government to an all-time low, and at the same time, the military hardliners and the small cabinet have not benefited from it.The public also distrusted them very much.

It was at this time that Lu Guanyu stood up.He stated that he would run for the new Federal President.

As the richest man in the eyes of the public, as the dream lover of countless people, and as a family member of the victims, Lu Guanyu stood on the podium.He bowed his head in silence for three minutes before his speech.After the silence, everyone could see that Lu Guanyu's eyes were red.A man doesn't flick his tears lightly, but he doesn't reach the sad point.Lu Guanyu doesn't even need to deliberately act, his feelings for Nancy are extremely sincere, so as long as he thinks of Nancy, he can easily make himself extremely sad.

He was silent for a while and said: "As you know, my wife Nancy died at the hands of the Red Scorpion Pirates. She was a soldier. The duty of a soldier is to protect. Even in peacetime, she still does a good job. I am ready to sacrifice myself for the Federation at any time. Besides being a soldier, she is also a wife, a mother, and a kind person. There are countless ordinary soldiers in the Federation. Like my wife, they have a responsibility to the Federation in their hearts. And love, but the federation failed them. Or rather, the people in power failed them."

"My wife's body was found in the mecha. It can't even be called a body. Her mecha was burned to a piece of scrap metal. She was with her mecha." Nancy chose This way of death is also protecting Lu Nan.Only when her body was completely destroyed, others would not know that she gave birth to a child at a critical moment.

"If she knew that behind the red scorpion stood the people of the military, standing behind the high-level military, she must be very sad. She died at the hands of the pirates, but she also died at the hands of the high-level military. She died Because of the greed of those in power! I can't stand this, as a military martyr, I can't accept that my wife died not on the battlefield, but for profit; as a father, I can't accept that my children grow up for Allegiance to those in power; as an ordinary Commonwealth, I cannot accept the country I love as a puppet in the hands of some."

"My child, the child Nancy protected with her life, I finally found him when he was 12 years old. It was a miracle. My child is very good. When he completed basic education, more than a dozen higher education Universities have sent invitations to him. Among them, First Comprehensive University, the best university in the Federation, is even willing to admit him without examination. However, my child refused. Because of his childhood experience, he has severe social phobia. In the virtual space He can still carry out normal learning and communication when he is alone, but he can’t face strangers in three dimensions.”

"I am standing here today, not for money, my money is enough for me to spend several lifetimes; not for fame, after all, thanks to my face, you may already know me. I am just for my heart I am only for justice and true equality. I am only for our children to stop living in panic." Lu Guanyu said.

Lu Guanyu, who had a lot of money and nowhere to spend, started to give lectures on various planets.He is not blindly sensational, he is trying to show his advantages.

At a time when the public distrusts the government, Lu Guanyu's advantage is really too obvious.First of all, he is the richest man, he will never be short of money to spend, and all his expenses during the campaign period are borne by himself.This means that Lu Guanyu is free.If Lu Guanyu becomes the chairman of the federation, he will not be coerced by any consortium or aristocratic family.Secondly, Lu Guanyu repeatedly emphasized in his speech that if he came to power, he would definitely weaken the social influence of the aristocratic family, reduce the gap between rich and poor and polarization in society, which also won him the favor of many people.Third, Lu Guanyu is really... good-looking, Youyan is so willful, in fact, many people are not so sensitive to politics, so they will only vote for the person they like relatively.

To be honest, Lu Guanyu also felt that many things in his speech were farting, except for his feelings for Nancy, the rest of the words were basically...false!empty!Fake!But it doesn't matter, he just needs to send himself to the position of federation chairman.Politics is always dark and the hands of politicians are always dirty.

Compared with Lu Guanyu's bright face, he is also very busy in private.

The military and government are now eyeing Eumenides.At first, they didn't pay much attention to this emerging pirate group.After all, in those black corners beyond the control of the law, countless pirate regiments are born every day, and countless pirates die every day.It's all right.However, the expansion of Eumenides' power was really too fast.Just after everyone faintly noticed this pirate group and regarded it as a small character, it immediately showed its fangs and delivered a fatal blow, even directly pulling Marshal Chu Jianbai off his horse.

These days, how many clean people can there be?This time it was Chu Jianbai who was unlucky, who knows if he will be unlucky next time?The way for the man in black to break into the public information platform has not been found so far, which means that he may appear again at some time, and then pull another big boss off the horse.Honestly, those politicians really can't stand this!

As a result, the government, military hardliners, and the small cabinet, which were unable to reach an absolute consensus on many issues, unexpectedly reached a consensus on this matter.The army was dispatched soon, nominally to clear up all the pirates, but in fact the focus of the clearing was on Eumenides.In other words, Lu Guanyu and his party are facing the greatest crisis in history.

But that's okay too.In Qin Gungun's words, he has long wanted to do a good job.Eumenides may be short of people, but it is definitely not short of energy and combat robots.

Lu Nan, who suffered from severe social phobia, was staying on Blue Star to help Lu Xiaoxin.Lu Xiaoxin has always wanted to design a suit for Eli.After several years and countless revisions, Lu Xiaoxin's most perfect work is finally interviewed!This battle suit is very similar to a portable wearable mech used by humans. Of course, it is worn by big cats, so all the curves are designed to fit the big cat's body shape.

"I used the lightest materials, and the entire suit weighs less than ten catties. Most of the ten catties still come from weapons," Lu Xiaoxin said.He hasn't grown much, and at the age of 16, he is obviously much shorter than Lu Nan.However, it doesn't matter, Lu Xiaoxin is above the average height.And, in his own words, what is concentrated must be the essence.

"Eli will definitely like it. I told him about this a long time ago, and he has been looking forward to it for a long time." Lu Nan looked at the finished product with great emotion.This is what they did with their own hands, and the meaning is really different.

Lu Xiaoxin couldn't wait to say: "Then you can take it and try it on for Eli! Remember to take pictures! No, no, only photos are not enough, remember to record a video for me!"

Lu Nan stretched his waist and said, "Aren't you hungry? Let's eat first."

Slyer is not in Blue Star, and the food for the two brothers is prepared by housekeeping robots.The food cooked by the housekeeping robot actually tastes good, but it is not as amazing as the one made by Slyer.While eating, the smart housekeeper in the house automatically pushed the important news of the day to the two brothers, and the order of the news was arranged according to Lu Nan's habitual concern.

Lu Nan scanned the light screen quickly.Soon, he was so surprised that he even dropped the chopsticks in his hand to the ground.Lu Nan turned his head away, and quickly said to Lu Xiaoxin: "Father's approval rate has reached 17.00%...Oh my God, I remember that the previous chairman won the final election with a support rate of [-]% . It is not low among the previous presidents."

Theoretically speaking, as long as they are not criminals who have been deprived of political rights, anyone in the federation can run for the chairmanship.Of course, without financial backing, candidates often don't get very far.But even with financial support, the aristocratic families have already played this set of procedures extremely proficiently. They cannot manipulate the election results, but they can manipulate the candidates.Under such circumstances, if Eumenides hadn't caused a big incident, I'm afraid Lu Guanyu's road to election would not be so smooth.

Lu Xiaoxin didn't care about politics, he just said, "Let's start improving our weapons after we finish eating. How about energy bombs? Throw one over and the world will be completely quiet."
