[Interstellar] The king who doesn't want to return

A few days later, the turbulent capital finally slowly regained its former calm. At least from the surface, it is completely impossible to see that there was a civil war that led to the collapse of the federal government not long ago.

The only thing that makes the citizens feel that this "military exercise" has a sense of reality is the ruined district centered on the Central Military Academy, and the large number of unfamiliar faces in the current political news.

Citizens who followed the current affairs page were surprised to find that the names that had appeared on the headlines of the front page had been changed almost every day, and only after counting and counting did they find a few familiar shrimps. The war was miserable, look, the entire parliament was responsible for the defeat of the war, and they stepped down collectively.

It can be seen from this that under such harsh conditions, Marshal Tang Rui of the reinforcements actually beat the bastard of the empire back to his hometown, how powerful that is!It is worthy of being the partner of God of War!What?The government said the Marshal was Ye Ling before?The person who announced the news must have been too excited when he heard the word "God of War", so he must have made a mistake. No wonder officials who are so confused have stepped down.

So, apart from the families whose loved ones died in the war are still immersed in grief, everyone else, what should they do, calm down, it's just a change of officials from the country, not a change of bosses from the company, they can't die!

In fact, except for the gendarmerie and a small number of special troops, ordinary soldiers are rarely born on the capital star. After all, those who can live on the capital star, even in the D area, are not comparable to other planets.Of course, those in District E will not be accepted as soldiers.

After the new government came to power, after paying compensation to the soldiers who died, it was natural to reward them for meritorious service.Among them, Tang Rui and Su Yingtang completed a major reversal of the imperial war, and Zuo Shaobai assisted Tang Rui in cracking the goddess' protection and quickly put down the rebellion.Although Tu Hong and the other generals of the expeditionary army were defeated in the early stage and lost troops, they made great achievements in holding down the imperial army in the later stage.Although it was an accident, it was a fact that all the officials of the parliament were wiped out. In the end, it was ruled that the merits and demerits were equal. Except for the family members of the deceased, everyone was happy that there was a ghost.The other team members who accompanied Zhou Yuze to break into the empire, as well as Zhao Min, Feng Lang, Chen Xi's team, etc., all received military merit awards.As for the people who should bear the responsibility in the defeat and rebellion... Sorry, except for the captured gendarmerie captain, Brigadier General Lin Ziyi, and Song Ao, who is on the run, no one has survived, so they were naturally let go with a tacit understanding.

Hello, hello, hello everyone is really good.

In addition, at the Central Military Academy, all the participating students headed by Tang Yan received military merit awards, and those who performed outstandingly received invitations from various units early on, and they only had to report for duty after graduation.Of course, Tang Yan, the most outstanding one, was ignored—there was a man named Tang Rui, a prospective sister-in-law named Zhou Yuze, and Zuo Shaobai, the guardian of the general. ?Especially this girl's mech manipulation skills are really good, and she will surely join the Dawn Squad in the future.

Speaking of Zuo Shaobai, the military rank had already been promoted to lieutenant general, but he waved his hand and said he would retire.What do you ask to retire?Of course he is in politics!With his contacts and influence in the military, in this special period when there is a vacuum in the top officials, it is possible to directly enter the parliament and get an important position without any pressure. After a few years of operation, it is possible to run for the speaker.

The current top officer of the intelligence department is Lou Zhengming. He was originally Zuo Shaobai's right-hand man. He was lucky enough to escape the civil war. In addition, his son is about to become Tang Yan's loyal younger brother. .

Su Yingtang also returned to the position of a military doctor. Although there were few wounded in the space war, the civil war in the capital planet still caused many lives to hang by a thread, and they urgently waited for the help of the genius doctor Su.

Zhou Yuze is also very busy. After many battles, Chen Xi's team has almost been crippled. The dead accounted for almost two-thirds of the team. There is an urgent need to select new players and reorganize.As his adjutant, Feng Lang was of course busier.

It was Tang Rui who was the most leisurely. He handed back the absolute wartime command which made the new parliament feel relieved, and came with a stamped retirement application. It didn't take long for him to change from a marshal to a civilian again.Of course, in order to appease the dissatisfaction of the people, he was portrayed by the new parliament as a hero who regards fame and wealth as dung, shoulders the heavy responsibility of defending his family and the country in times of crisis, and waved his sleeves without taking away a cloud. Ling year.

"So, what are you still dissatisfied with?" Zuo Shaobai, the new MP and Minister of National Defense who had finally taken a break for a long time, came in and saw Tang Rui looking at a pile of papers on the table with a bitter and bitter look. .

"No." Tang Rui leaned back, leaning on the back of the chair and looking at the ceiling.

Zuo Shaobai approached, flipped through it casually, all right, two completed marriage registration forms, and photocopies of miscellaneous certificates and materials.Of course, only God knows how much water Tang Rui's share contains.

"It's so boring." Tang Rui sighed.

"Everyone in the world is very busy, except you." Zuo Shaobai gave him an annoyed look, but he understood the reason for his depression, "Xiao Zhou doesn't have time to go through the formalities with you?"

"What do you think?" Tang Rui looked resentful.

"After a few more busy days, it should be almost done. After all, the Chenxi team is full of only a hundred people. Many of the boys who were temporarily incorporated into the team during the decisive battle have practiced." Zuo Shaobai shrugged, pulled out the chair and sat down. down.

"Okay, Minister Zuo, what's the point of coming here in your busy schedule?" Tang Rui leaned on him.

"You know." In an instant, Zuo Shaobai sat up straight, with a serious expression on his face.

Tang Rui was silent for a moment, took out a memory chip from his coat pocket, and threw it away.

"You just keep it with you?" On the contrary, Zuo Shaobai opened his mouth wide, unable to recover for a long time.

Damn, does he know that the information recorded in it is enough to shake the Federation, and its value is immeasurable?

"Otherwise? I think it's about time for you to come." Tang Rui snorted coldly, looked up to see that he was about to speak, waved his hand to stop him, and continued, "Don't worry, I just brought it for you. Usually this chip is directly installed On Chenxi, the piano doctor Meiyue that I took down during maintenance two days ago."

Zuo Shaobai was speechless, no wonder so many people from the two countries couldn't find this thing after searching for it these years, not to mention that Chen Xi hid it secretly, even if it was placed directly, who would have thought that a memory chip would be regarded as a mecha part?

"With this as capital, it is enough for you to win the speaker election next year." Tang Rui said.

"No regrets?" Zuo Shaobai picked up the chip and shook it.

"To be honest, it's useless for me to hold this thing. I never hoped that the Federation would be stronger and it would be better to destroy the Empire once and for all, and then there would be no war." Tang Rui was silent for a while before slowly opening his mouth, "It's just, As you know, the former speaker was too eager to make achievements. Qianqian's theory is only a preliminary research result and cannot be put into practical use. The most critical problem is that the current level of technology and the skills of mechanics are difficult to meet the theoretical requirements. Qianqian's solution is to continue research and reduce the difficulty of the theory, or wait until Shenma's technology meets the theoretical requirements. But if this thing is given to him, I'm afraid it will be put into production in one year, and it will start in three years Actual combat training - many people will die, and not ordinary people. Those who are qualified to participate in the experiment must be the best mecha masters. There are not too many such talents, how can there be such a waste of surplus? What's more... "

"What's more, Tang Yan will graduate in two years." Zuo Shaobai continued to speak for him.

"In 50 years, only research, no experiment." Tang Rui said word by word.

"Okay." Zuo Shaobai answered simply.

A gentleman promises, even if he dies, he will not change.Between them, there is actually only one promise needed, and there is no need to add other constraints.

"Also, thank you." Zuo Shaobai solemnly put away the chip.

Although this is Ji Qianqian's research, apart from Tang Rui who has a family, he, Su Yingtang, and Ji Qianqian all listed Ye Ling as the first heir. Therefore, this inheritance of Ji Qianqian originally belonged to Ye Ling personally. Today he said thank you It is also a matter of course.

"Okay, it's okay, you can go now." Tang Rui waved his hand.

"Crack." Just then, the door opened.

"Xiao Zhou?" When the two turned their heads and saw who was coming, they were both surprised.

Speaking of Zhou Yuze, he was so busy these days that he didn't even have time to go home for dinner. He came back in the middle of the night every day and fell asleep. It was the first time after the war that he stepped into the house so early.

"I went to the Ministry of Defense to find Minister Zuo, and the secretary said you were here." Zhou Yuze explained.

"Looking for me?" Zuo Shaobai wondered.

Although he is now the Minister of National Defense, Zhou Yuze has just been promoted to lieutenant colonel, and his position is only in charge of a mecha squad, so it is reasonable that he should not jump to him if there is anything to do.

"Here, General Mo refused to sign, and asked me to send it directly for you to sign." Zhou Yuze handed over a piece of paper.

"What?" Zuo Shaobai took it and pulled out the pen at the same time. He believed in Zhou Yuze's character. If he couldn't do it, Mo Fei would directly refuse and would not push it to him. Most likely It's something that complies with regulations but is more responsible, old fox!

"Retirement application." Zhou Yuze replied.

"Ah?" Zuo Shaobai was stunned for a moment, and the hand holding the pen also froze.

"I've calculated that the military merits are enough for me to retire early." Zhou Yuze explained, "The reorganization of Chen Xi's team has been basically completed, and there is no problem for Feng Lang to take over as the captain."

Zuo Shaobai frowned, glanced at Tang Rui who was smiling secretly, put down his pen after thinking about it, and said in thought: "Xiao Zhou, I know you want to live a peaceful life and don't want to go to the front line again, but have you thought about it?" , Even after retiring, you still need to find a job, I believe your savings are not enough for you to live a lifetime—or do you want to live on relief money like someone else?"

"I..." Zhou Yuze obviously didn't think about this question, and subconsciously looked at Tang Rui's leisurely Sifujin.

"Let's do this." Zuo Shaobai didn't wait for Tang Rui to speak, and immediately took it, "Forget about the application for retirement, I'll let you transfer to a civilian job, and become a special adviser to the Federal Mecha Division. How about a double salary for a lieutenant-colonel-level officer and a consultant, plus three months of vacation a year?"

Zhou Yuze blinked, and continued to look at Tang Rui habitually.

"Half a year." Tang Rui raised his hand lazily.

"You really know how to bargain." Zuo Shaobai was speechless.

"By the way, is there any shortage of consultants in the Mechanical Battalion?" Tang Rui asked.

"No, of course it's missing!" Zuo Shaobai looked like you asked knowingly.

"Oh, the conditions are the same." Tang Rui nodded.

"You're retired, I can only pay you the salary of a consultant, besides, I've never been a consultant at the marshal level." Zuo Shaobai said.

"Alright, but you can't discount the holidays." Tang Rui agreed.

"Deal." Zuo Shaobai gritted his teeth.

I really can't negotiate terms in front of Tang Rui... But well, it was a surprise to earn Tang Rui back.Anyway, the army will definitely not be able to keep these two people, but it is an acceptable result to dig out the things in their heads for six months every year and pass them on to the whole army.

The salary has been paid, if he doesn't squeeze out all the value, he won't be Zuo Shaobai!

"It's just right, I've already booked the spaceship tickets, so I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time." Tang Rui waved with a smile, "Xiao Zhou, how about we go to Aquamarine for our honeymoon?"

"Okay." Zhou Yuze smiled sweetly.

"You two, pay attention to the influence, there are still single people here." Zuo Shaobai's face darkened.

"This is our home." Tang Rui said, quickly pulled out two completed forms and pushed them over, "Come, sign."

"Sign again? What is this again?" Zuo Shaobai picked up the pen again, and the next moment, his face became even darker.He stared at the bold bold "marriage registration form" on the top line of the form for a long time, and finally slammed the table hard, and said angrily, "Tang Rui! Damn, I'm the Minister of Defense, not the Civil Affairs Bureau!"

"Isn't it similar?" Tang Rui pouted.

"Almost? It's far away, okay?" Zuo Shaobai pointed at the gate, "Go out from the Civil Affairs Bureau and turn left, the second intersection is there. I'm too far away to call a car for you. If you want a car from the parliament, you can go there now! "

By the way, I forgot to mention that this house is not the one in District E, but I just bought it after the war. It is located in the high-end apartment area of ​​District B. There is a small yard on the first floor, and it is very cost-effective.Of course, it was Zhou Yuze who paid the money. Don't expect Tang Rui, who had put all his wealth into Chenxi, and even managed to complete it by abducting the empire's 25 credits.

Zhou Yuze on the side looked at them arguing blushingly, but there was a slight smile on his lips.

When she turned her head, she saw Feng Lang and Tang Yan walking into the courtyard noisily. They didn't know what they were arguing about, but their expressions were obviously relaxed and happy.

Tang Rui and Zuo Shaobai were arguing about the benefits every sentence, and the corner of his eyes stayed on Zhou Yuze's face. Seeing the young man's delicate face filled with warm happiness, he suddenly felt, The years are quiet and good, and life is complete.

There are lovers, relatives, and friends.

Some people died in the war, and some were reborn in the flames of war.

We are all still together, and although there are occasional storms, most of the time, the sun is still shining.
