Since that day, Xu Le's journey back to the Capital Star Circle has not been disturbed in any way, so he has more time to think about the situation he might face when he returns to S1, to ask himself what he wants to do and how to do it.
Sitting on the soft sofa in the exclusive cabin on the top floor, looking sideways at the eternal and seemingly changing space scenery outside the window, he thought silently with a slightly hot tea in his hands, from the recent events, such as the Changfeng base does not issue passes, especially the three ships that want to kill themselves at all costs, it seems that the power of the radicals in the federal military is getting stronger and stronger, which seems to be a little illogical.
He took out the phone from his jacket pocket, looked at the text message sent by Shi Qinghai from Charter Square, his thick eyebrows frowned slightly, and he was roughly sure that Xiao Ye's guess was correct, that organization was indeed covered by the Trinity Association, and that person was really one of them.
"It's hard to imagine."
Somewhat clumsily blowing away the heat and scum from the teacup, and taking a sip carefully, Xu Le silently sighed in his heart, how could he not connect the general with the demeanor of a scholar and the leader of the radical faction.
Lee Jae-do, the only son of the federal military god Li Pifu, was considered by many people, including Xu Le and Mo Chou Houshan, to be the best person to lead the federal forces and slowly enter the era of change in the early seventies of the constitutional calendar, when the contradictions within the federation gradually appeared, so he was very happy to see him take over the two most important military positions of Admiral Myers.
The god of war, Li Pifu, also thought so and arranged it.
However, the Creator seems to really like to joke about the fact that this moderate general, who has the demeanor of a scholar, has turned into a real leader hidden behind the radical forces.
If Li Pifu under the loess knew this, he didn't know what his mood would become.
Holding his cheeks with his warm hands that were hot with hot tea, his hot eyes gradually relaxed, Xu Le gently spit out a mouthful of turbid air that he couldn't say, and pursed his thin lips.
Knowing that the biggest and most secret enemy is Lee Jae-do, he was shocked and a little disappointed, but more of a calm and powerful after knowing the answer, and there were many questions that he couldn't understand before, so far he was easily solved.
The battleship from Xilin flew firmly towards the capital star circle, no matter what obstacles were encountered, as long as they continued to fly, then there would always be a day when they would fly, and for Xu Le now, his biggest concern was actually the safety of President Pabul.
It stands to reason that no matter how mad the military radicals are, they will not be able to take such a risk against the democratically elected president of the Federation, but Xu Le has seen too many unreasonable things done by those people, especially since he has not been able to contact Mr.
President directly recently, and has always been blocked by the director of the official office.
Four and a half years ago, after his election victory, President Pabur had intended to break with the old practice and continue to use his personal phone to contact his old friends and relatives and to the people at the bottom who knew about his phone number, but this proximity effort lasted only two months before being abandoned by strict security regulations, and any request to contact Mr.
President directly was transferred to the president's official office.
That's the problem, the federal central computer helped Xu Le confirm the president's safety, and that he was in the official residence, and could not give much information.
"Colonel Xu Le, the old moon base has arrived, and we are going to deliver the battleship to the military, I don't know what your itinerary is" The captain's respectful voice sounded over the intercom.
Xu Le was slightly stunned, only to see that outside the window was already the pale landform of the old moon, the airless land was still lined with dense and spectacular black solar collection panels, above the shallow arc-shaped moon horizon, a beautiful planet intertwined with blue and white was suspended in the air, and a bright trace of the crescent moon could be faintly seen in the distance.
"Thank you for taking care of me all the way, someone has been arranged to pick me up."
Xu Le replied calmly, then picked up the military backpack on both shoulders, and after carefully checking the equipment, he put it on his back and tightened the fiber strap on his chest vigorously.
A few minutes later, he left the second-class battleship alone, and walked down the deep underground passage towards the old moon base, the all-alloy spliced underground passage reflected the faint white light, isolating the cold and vacuum on the surface of the old moon, and also blocking all sounds.
"A few years ago, when I was doing a test battle with Crazy Li at the top of Kaqi Peak, I seemed to have walked this road."
Xu Le did not stand on the self-propelled conveyor belt, walked on two feet in the deep and uninhabited passage, listened to the crisp and lonely sound of the military boots under his feet, and gradually echoed along the long passage, and sighed in his heart: "At the time, I thought Xiaomeng was dead, so I thought about revenge, and I didn't want Medellín to succeed in running for president, so I went to Guoke to develop X, and then Shi Qinghai finally found out those things, and then the two of us didn't make an appointment, but we went to S2 to kill people in four states around the mountains together, and now I think about it, I was really a hot-blooded and impulsive young man at that time."
"Isn't it now?"
asked the Federal Central Computer calmly.
"No, you can say I'm mature, or you can say I'm old."
Xu Le frowned vigorously, looked at the shadow in front of him who was chased and trampled by his military boots, but never stepped on it, and said: "Maybe it's because I saw too many dead people on the front line, and my comrades-in-arms often died in front of my eyes, so this time the master died, I didn't feel too sad, and I didn't have any anger that could not be suppressed." ” "That's right, I feel like I'm just here to give him a ride when I go back to the Capital Star Circle."
Xu Le shrugged his shoulders and said seriously: "This kind of calm even makes me feel a little incredible and ashamed. ” The central computer calmly replied: "According to my observations, in fact, your sadness and anger are far greater than you think. ” "But I never cried."
Xu Le suddenly stopped, turned his head and asked: "Knowing that he was dead that day, I thought I was going to cry sadly, because I didn't want the little watermelon to see it, so I ran to the bathing room, but when I looked at myself in the mirror, I didn't shed any tears at all." ” "You've cried."
Federal Central Computer reminded.
"I didn't."
Xu Le shook his head and insisted.
"Fourteen days, seven hours, thirty-seven minutes and eighteen seconds ago, at the Xilin Border Space Checkpoint, when the group of students of all ages sang twenty-seven glasses of wine, a drop of eye slipped from the edge of your left eye."
The Central Computer of the Federation used the most accurate time rewind and the ability to reproduce the images to silence someone.
After a moment of silence, Xu Le resumed walking in the underground passage, lowered his head slightly and explained in a low voice: "That's the case, I didn't sleep well at that time. ” The old thing was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "After Shi Qinghai died, you said it a total of one hundred and fourteen times. ” Xu Le was silent, hiding his sadness in his heart, and walked towards the seven groups of team members on the other side of the passage.
The young officer with a backpack on his back, returning from thousands of miles away, dressed in stardust all the way, shook his head in front of the porthole, countless bullet marks flew like a broken kite, and as soon as he lowered his head, the Federation battleship turned into a broken copper and iron with no power, straightened his body, and did not shed tears, in order to see off his friends or ask a reason.
Yes, that was how it was then.
