Because it was a private meeting, the location was set in a not-so-high-profile side hall.
Compared to He Yunting and Xu Zhiheng, who were dressed formally, the man standing in front of the window seemed very casual.
Compared with the era of the earth, the return to the dual constitutional monarchy political system has many drawbacks, but it can better hold power in its hands, and then develop its military power faster under a unified high-pressure centralized power, which is why the empire can take a step forward. Step by step to now, no one dares to provoke the reason.
Even the side halls are gorgeously decorated, the Baroque style permeates every detail, the top of the complete stone pillars are inlaid with golden capitals, the ceilings depict exquisite huge oil paintings, and the white reliefs extend along the long and magnificent corridors .
Wen Zhao casually put on a velvet coat, and his eyes fell on the fountain sculpture with extreme lines outside the window.
He has slightly long black hair, and there is a very light tiredness on his face, which reduces some of the sharp smell, but still has the unique aura he was born with.
His fingers seemed to be playing with something, and his movements were leisurely and leisurely.
Seeing the two coming, he looked away, raised his hand so that the two would not have to bow properly in private situations, and sat down again.
"Admiral has worked hard." Wen Zhao's voice was still mild, and then turned to look at Xu Zhiheng, "I heard that Professor Xu's academic attainments have reached the pinnacle for a long time and have been admired for a long time."
Xu Zhiheng nodded in response, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Don't be too restrained, just chat casually," Wen Zhao said casually, playing with the small object nimbly at his fingertips, "Don't be too stressed."
But after saying this, he continued: "I just want to know what plans the two of you have for the current situation."
Although the tone is like a chatter, the question does not mean "chat casually" at all.
"By the way," Wen Zhao turned to He Yunting, "The last decision was made by the general, and it was the decision of 'Slaughter City'."
According to the imperial system, even though the admiral may not have as much say as the parliament in some respects, fundamentally, he does not need to interact with those old men who are quarreling all day long, because he only needs to obey the emperor's orders.
Unless Wen Zhaoming ordered to deny it, He Yunting didn't have to tie his hands and feet.
He Yunting lowered his eyes and said solemnly, "Yes. I already told you the details when I came back to report last time."
Including why you made the decision instead of waiting in that place for a while longer.
Although it is an imperial system, a former emperor has abolished the humble title, and everyone can call themselves me, just call you or the position to the high-ranking person.
"Oh." Wen Zhao responded casually, unable to hear his emotions.
He Yunting finished the rest of the sentence: "But Your Majesty, Professor Xu's antagonist has contributed greatly."
Wen Zhao threw the thing in his hand high, caught it precisely, and held it in his palm: "Indeed. I've always wanted to meet Professor Xu in person, and this time I finally have the chance."
He changed his words: "But, the current situation..."
Wen Zhao put the other hand on his forehead, tapped his temple lightly, and said, "Proton Star is the most important thing in the empire among all self-governed planets."
"Because of this, the general was directly invited to form a formation to go to Proton Star."
He Yunting stood up and re-respected the most standard imperial ceremony: "I will re-dispatch the formation as quickly as possible. This time, no matter what, it will be completely resolved."
"I have never doubted the ability of the admiral." Wen Zhao said lightly, "I will not take back any decision-making power."
"No matter what the result is, I believe that the general will do his best."
"As for the starship," Wen Zhao said, "if the admiral can use it, there is no need to report to me."
He Yunting bowed his head in response, and stopped making a sound.
Wen Zhao seemed to really trust him, and he didn't ask He Yunting how to solve it, nor how he wanted to solve it.
Is it possible that Proton Star really has no one left, and he will still give all his trust to his most capable subordinates.
"Professor Xu's words are yours to decide." Wen Zhao said, "After all, I am reluctant to put myself at risk for such an academic pillar."
"Professor Xu doesn't need to go." He Yunting said again, "Proton Star is too dangerous, and the situation is different from last time, so I may not be able to protect you completely. As for the previous doubts and abuse of public opinion, I will try my best to speak for you. "
Xu Zhiheng seemed to realize belatedly that he had to decide whether to go again so soon. He didn't hesitate for a moment, and immediately saluted: "I'll be with the general. I don't need to think about my safety, and I won't think about the last time. So reckless and impulsive."
"What's more, the antagonist was developed by me. Even if there is an accident, I should bear the consequences alone."
Wen Zhao smiled after hearing his words: "As expected of the pillar of the empire."
He stood up: "Since you have all made choices, I won't interfere more."
Xu Zhiheng left first, and He Yunting was a little late. He did the base report again. Wen Zhao then waved his hand and asked He Yunting to go back.
Everything is arbitrary, and he just needs to let the spokesperson sort out the final result and tell the parliament and the official media that the format doesn't seem to matter to him.
Wen Zhao raised his eyes, but his eyes did not fall anywhere.
He put the object in his hand back on the table - the whole body is precious and clean, and at first glance, it is made of rare materials and top-level techniques.
It turned out to be a chess piece.
He Yunting didn't expect to meet someone he hadn't seen for a long time on the way back.
Wen Tianyao seemed surprised too, but he still squeezed out a good smile to greet He Yunting.
After the accident in the last training, for some reason, he didn't contact He Yunting very much, let alone come to the base.
He Yunting turned to let Wen Tianyao go first, and when he was about to leave, he saw that the deputy who had always followed behind him had changed.
"His Royal Highness." He Yunting stood on the spot and said, "Where's your former deputy?"
Wen Tianyao turned around and looked at his new deputy who was just as puzzled as him: "Who is the general referring to? Xi Yuan?"
Wen Tianyao didn't seem to expect that the admiral, who has always been less talkative, would care about his deputy, so he was stunned for a moment: "Work transfer, I haven't been here for a long time."
"So His Royal Highness doesn't care at all where the former deputy ended up going." He Yunting said.
"... Admiral?" Wen Tianyao felt inexplicable, "Is it normal not to tell you about the career transfer of my own subordinates? Besides, it was proposed by Xi Yuan himself, of course I won't stop it."
He saw that He Yunting seemed to think about it for a while, and then he said carefully, "Got it."
For some reason, Wen Tianyao could hear a hint of mockery in He Yunting's never-smiling tone.
He Yunting didn't want to talk to him, he looked away and left.
The two were summoned by the emperor, and the news that He Yunting was about to bring Xu Zhiheng back to Proton Star quickly spread. There were many people who prayed, some were anxious, some were not optimistic, and some were conspiracy theories. Neither side prevailed.
This time, like the last time, the incident happened suddenly, and there was not much time to prepare.
The base seems to have already started preparations when the Proton Star accident happened, and reintegrated its troops and personnel. The difference is that this time, Xu Zhiheng's freedom was not restricted, but he was arranged in Qi Jiamu's mecha.
The reason why people feel that the empire is really moving this time is that they are no longer a streamlined elite team, but have used very few starships as in the previous training.
The training was originally intended to experience real battles, and the number of people and mechas was large before the warships could be used, but this time, not only the warships during the training were used, but the giant starships that could accommodate tens of thousands of people.
Some people began to wonder why such a large battle was used. As a result, the base directly announced a partial list. Many brave and skilled sergeants were on the trip, not to mention the rescue team and expert team directly allocated by the empire.
The base seems to have made all preparations. Even if there is an accident like a training session, it can be resolved with all its strength without any worries.
"I'll go with you." Lin Han heard the sound of the apartment door and knew it was He Yunting.
He didn't beat around the bush, waited for the other party to step into the door, and said straight.
He Yunting was still wearing the formal suit from Wen Zhao. Lin Han reached out and touched the tassel on his epaulette. He seemed to like the design of some of the Empire's uniforms: "I don't see you wearing it often, it's rare."
He Yunting knew that Lin Han had already made up his mind when he said this. Just as he was about to say something, Lin Han moved his lips and continued.
"My work plan is arranged. If the research institute has no tasks, it will be very easy, don't worry about me."
"What's more, if you guys use starships, I can barely be regarded as an expert group." Lin Han said to himself.
He Yunting looked down at Lin Han playing with the tassels on his shoulders, "Yes, Dr. Lin."
"Why do you still call me that?" Lin Han looked up at him helplessly, but he was not angry. He only thought that He Yunting became more and more interesting, "It sounds quite old."
Lin Han's fingers kept dangling in front of He Yunting's eyes. He couldn't hold back, and reached out to grab the other's thin white wrist.
He Yunting knew that Lin Han could hear what he was thinking: "Have you made up your mind?"
Lin Han nodded: "It's not about the general's special invitation letter."
He Yunting knew Lin Han's decision: "Then I'll let Lu Anhe prepare."
"We will leave the next morning at the latest." He Yunting said, "I will arrange it for you."
Going to the proton star has an advantage over the border area, that is, there is no need to jump, and if the vehicle is a starship, the speed will be much faster, and it can be reached in a day.
"It's good," Lin Han said, "I can go to places I haven't been before again."
"I will protect you, don't worry." He Yunting leaned over to hug him, afraid that the epaulette on his chest would make Lin Han uncomfortable, so he avoided it a little.
But Lin Han didn't mind at all, instead he pulled his sash and pulled him in a bit, and then rested his head on his epaulette: "En."
"You said the same thing last time in the border area, I believe you."
He Yunting was stunned for a moment, and then he stroked the other party's soft black hair again.
"I didn't know I liked you at that time." He Yunting said truthfully, "Or rather, I didn't understand this emotion."
"I Have a Scroll of Ghosts and Gods"
"But I just don't want to see anything happen to you."
Thinking of what the latter two experienced, Lin Han was so weak that he even lost his mind-reading skills, and He Yunting almost had difficulty surviving because of food and water, but now that he recalled it, it seemed that it had been a long time, and he was a little dazed.
"Then I won't stay on the starship this time." Lin Han said, "Leave the position of the second cockpit to me."
Anyway, most of the people who go to the base, if you really don't want people to see it,:
