Since that day, Xu Le's journey back to the capital star circle has never been disturbed again, so he has more time to think about the situation he may face after returning to S1, and to ask himself in the depths of his heart. What to do and how to do it.
Sitting on the soft sofa in the exclusive cabin on the top floor, looking sideways at the timeless and changing space scenery outside the window, holding slightly hot tea in both hands, he thought silently, since the recent period of time, such as long Wind base does not issue passes, especially the three federal warships will kill themselves at all costs. It seems that the forces of the radicals in the federal military are getting stronger and stronger, which seems a bit illogical.
He took out the phone from his jacket pocket, looked at the text message that Shi Qinghai sent from Charter Square, his thick eyebrows were slightly raised, and he was roughly sure that Xiao Ye's guess was correct, that the organization was indeed the Trinity Association. As a cover, and that man really was one of them.
"It's really unimaginable." Some clumsily blowing the heat and scum from the teacup, he took a sip carefully. Xu Le sighed silently in his heart, how could he not be able to connect the scholar-like general with the leader of the radical faction stand up.
Li Zaidao, the only son of the federal military god Li Pif, was believed by many people, including Xu Le and Mochou Houshan, to lead the federal troops into the era of change in the early 1970s when the internal contradictions within the federation gradually emerged. The best object of all, so it would be great to see him take over the two most important military duties of Admiral Miles.
Li Pif, the god of war, also thought and arranged it.
However, the creator seems to really like to joke that this moderate general with scholarly demeanor has turned into a real leader hidden behind the scenes of the radical forces.
If Lipif under the loess knew this, I don't know what his mood would be like.
Holding his cheeks with his warm hands that were scalded by the hot tea, his hot eyes gradually loosened, Xu Le let out a breath of turbid air that could not be described, and pursed his thin lips.
Knowing that the biggest and most secretive enemy is Li Zaidao, he was a little disappointed in the shock, but more calm and powerful after knowing the answer. There are many questions that he once did not understand, and now they are solved.
The battleship from Xilin flew firmly towards the capital star circle. No matter what obstacles it encountered, as long as it continued to fly, there would always be a day when it would arrive. For the current Xu Le, the thing he was most worried about was actually President Pabul's. Safety.
It stands to reason that no matter how maddened the military radicals are, it is impossible to take such a risk against the elected president of the Federation, but Xu Le has seen those people do too many unreasonable things, especially during his recent period. There has been no way to directly contact Mr. President, and he is always blocked by the director of the official residence office.
Four and a half years ago, after winning the general election, President Pabble planned to break the old practice and continue to use his personal phone to communicate with his old friends and relatives, and to communicate with the people at the bottom who knew his phone number. In March, it was forced to give up because of strict security regulations, and any request to contact Mr. President directly will be transferred to the office of the President's residence.
This is the problem. The federal central computer helped Xu Le to confirm the safety of the president and that he was in the official residence, but could not give much information.
"Colonel Xu Le, Jiuyue Base is here. We will deliver the warship to the military. Do you know what your schedule is?"
The captain's respectful request sounded in the intercom.
Xu Le was slightly startled, only to see the vicissitudes and pale topography of the old moon outside the window. The airless land was still lined with dense and spectacular black solar collection panels. Above the shallow curved moon horizon, a blue and white interweaving The beautiful planet is suspended in mid-air, and a bright mark of the crescent moon can be vaguely seen in the distance.
"Thank you for taking care of me along the way. Someone has been arranged to pick me up."
Xu Le replied calmly, then picked up the military backpack on his shoulders, carefully checked the equipment, carried it on his back, and tightly fastened the fiber ties on his chest.
A few minutes later, he left the sub-feather-class battleship alone and walked towards the Old Moon Base along the deep underground passage. The vacuum isolates it, and it isolates all sound.
"I seem to have traveled this road when I had a test flight with Madman Li at the top of Kaqi Peak a few years ago."
Xu Le did not stand on the self-propelled transmission belt. He walked in the deep and uninhabited passage with his two feet. Hearing the crisp and lonely voice of the army boots under his feet, it gradually reverberated and hummed along the long passage. He sighed: "I thought Xiaomeng was dead at the time, so I kept thinking about revenge and didn't want Medellin to run for president successfully, so I went to Nutshell to develop MX, and Shi Qinghai finally found out those things, and then the two of us There was no appointment, but we went to S2 Huanshan Sizhou to kill people together. When I think about it now, I was really an impulsive young man at that time."
"Is it not now?" the federal central computer asked calmly.
"No, you can say that I'm mature, or you can say that I'm old-fashioned." Xu Le frowned, looking at the shadow in front of him who was being chased and trampled by his military boots, but never died, and said, "Maybe it's because I saw too many dead people on the front line, and my comrades often died in front of my eyes, so this time the young master died, I was not too sad, nor was there any uncontrollable anger."
"It's like this, I feel that when I go back to the capital star circle, I really just came to give him a ride." Xu Le shrugged and said seriously: "This kind of calm even makes me feel a little incredible and ashamed."
The central computer replied calmly: "According to my observation, your sadness and anger are actually far more than you think."
"But I've never cried." Xu Le suddenly stopped, tilted his head and questioned, "I knew he was dead that day, I thought I was going to cry bitterly, because I didn't want the little watermelon to see it, so I ran to the bathroom. As a result, when I look at myself in the mirror, I don't have any desire to cry at all."
"You cried." The Federal Central Computer reminded.
"I don't." Xu Le shook his head and insisted.
"Fourteen days, seven hours, thirty-seven minutes and ten federal time... Eight seconds ago, at the Westwood frontier space checkpoint, as those Bermudians sang twenty-seven glasses of wine, there was a tear from the edge of your left eye. slipped."
The Federal Central Computer used the most accurate time backwards and screen reproduction ability 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 right, I didn't sleep well at that time."
The old man was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "After Shi Qinghai died, you said 'this is the case' a total of 114 times."
Xu Le was silent, hid his grief in his heart, and walked towards the seven groups of players at the other end of the aisle.
The young officer with a backpack on his back came back from thousands of miles away, covered in stardust and sun shadows all the way, before standing at the porthole, he shook his head, countless bullet marks flew like broken kites, and bowed his head, the federal warship turned into a broken metal without power. , straightened his body without tears, just to see a friend off or ask a reason.
Yes, that was the case at the time.
