The first people to walk out of the transport plane were two heavily armed soldiers, followed by several men in black wearing sunglasses. They covered their chests with their hands and quickly dispersed after getting off the plane. They began to check around until they were sure that there was no one around. After any danger, he covered his ears with his hands and reported twice, and then several new figures reappeared in front of the shuttle's opened door.
President Glass looked at the figure appearing in front of the shuttle door and said disdainfully: "You are such a squeamish and shameless Earthling. You are so dishonest. You are so scared that you didn't even turn off the shuttle's engine, but you still kept holding on. Are you walking down just to show your superiority as an Earthling in front of me?"
Xiao Ran rolled his eyes speechlessly: "Your Excellency, if I remember correctly, you should have been born on Earth at your age, right?"
"Hahaha, that's right, but now I have abandoned my identity as an Earthling and am just a space immigrant." President Glass smiled and patted Xiao Ran on the shoulder and said, "I forgot that you are also an Earthling. , Hahaha, except you, let’s go and meet that group of arrogant and proud people.”
Xiao Ran smiled and felt the mixed emotions in President Glass's heart. It was the kind of firmness that he was determined to face bravely after complicated entanglements. This mood also made President Glass appear more cheerful than usual. smile.
The figure in the shuttle slowly walked out of the cabin. President Glass also took steps to walk down the stairs in front of the municipal building and stopped about ten meters away from the shuttle. Xiao Ran and some other ships regimental officer. The officer also stood straight behind President Glass.
The people in the shuttle gradually got off the plane, and a group of more than a dozen people walked towards Xiao Ran and President Glass under the protection of about the same number of guards.
Cruze and Graham also walked out of the gate of the municipal building at this time. At this time, they had changed into a uniform of the Defense Forces without military rank. They stood in front of the gate and looked at where Xiao Ran was. Crowd direction.
Cruze looked around. Suddenly a mysterious smile appeared: "It seems that something interesting will happen, Graham, don't you want to prepare for it?"
Graham was stunned and realized that Cruze was not focusing on the crowd centered on Xiao Ran. Instead, he placed the guards in black who were walking back and forth nearby, and immediately observed the men in black. In less than three seconds, Graham frowned: "The situation is not right."
"Let's go." Cruze nodded lightly, took out a pistol from his arms and held it in his hand. He walked down the stairs unhurriedly and said, "Although I really want to see these men in black. What exactly do you want to do, but if these men in black are really allowed to do it, I'm afraid Xiao Ran will lose his temper. When the time comes, he will be angry and do impulsive things, which will be troublesome. "
The corner of Graham's mouth curled up. Like Cruze, he also took out a pistol. Following Cruze's footsteps, he carefully checked the bullet and loaded it before he said, "You usually look calm. Feng Qing, everyone is drunk and I am sober, I didn’t expect you to worry about this."
"Haha." Kruse smiled without looking back. Said: "No matter how you say it, I am also his follower. As a subordinate, you should naturally do what you should do. Whether the clouds are calm and the wind is gentle, or watching the fire from the other side, it is just an adjustment in my life. When doing things, I should have The way you do things is not important, even though the means are good.”
Xiao Ran, standing side by side with President Glass, looked at the man walking in front of him. This man was a bald man, about sixty years old. He looks about the same age as President Glass. But there is no trace of the toughness of a soldier in his body. On the contrary, we can only see the smoothness and roundness of this man.
A military uniform that was supposed to support the tall and tall figure looked a bit funny on this middle-aged man. With his round belly and somewhat fat body, Xiao Ran felt that he looked a bit awkward when wearing this military uniform that was supposed to reflect the military temperament. awkward.
But he is just such a chubby guy. The fat man smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, but hanging on his shoulder collar was the highest military rank in the unified army except the commander-in-chief. Admiral.
From afar, he smiled and extended his right hand to President Glass. It was not until President Glass also smiled and stretched out his hand to shake it that the admiral said with a smile on his face: "Glass, I haven't seen you in many years. Now, when we meet again, you and I have changed from a young man to what we are now. Tell me, at this age, we still can’t enjoy happiness, hey... "
President Glass held the opponent's right hand with his right hand, and took the cigar from his mouth with his left hand holding the cane. He spat a thick puff of smoke on the fat admiral's face, which immediately made the opponent cough uncontrollably, and then he smiled. Said: "Oh, George, you have really gained a lot of weight. The fleet cannot compare with the earth, nor can it compare with all aspects of life. The young people here all yearn for openness, and only a conservative old man like me is I just stayed in the ship group to look at my home. I finally found a suitable place and was about to retreat and have a rest. Who knew something like this would happen again? What can you do about it?"
Glass clearly said that he was helpless and incompetent, but the real meaning behind his words was to mock the bald general, mocking him as a coward who only knew how to stay on Earth and hide behind other people, mocking the entire Earth Unification Army for a day. trouble making.
People who can become generals naturally have good minds. The bald general who understood the meaning of President Glass's words had an awkward smile for a moment, and then shook his head as if it was nothing: "It's really Fortunately for you, since you have the idea of retiring, why not take this opportunity to retire and have a good rest, and replace it with a capable young man. If you want to go back to Earth, it doesn't matter. I can arrange one for you. Suitable place."
"That's what I think, but forget about the earth. I think this place is quite good. Fortunately, millions of people have worked hard for decades to find this place. We have recognized this place and are prepared to treat it as our own burial place. The Land of Bones, the earth is too mixed and the air is not as good as here, so there is no need to go back."
President Glass let go of the hand held by the fat man, and expressed secretly that he and even the entire fleet of more than ten million people would never leave. He patted Xiao Ran beside him and said, "If you have the ability, As a young man, I happen to have one here, and I was just about to take some time to deal with the matter of retiring. If you come at this moment, I sincerely invite you to attend the inauguration ceremony of the new president."
President Glass touched his beard and said with a smile: "The young man I like is very good. He has ability and brains. More importantly, the force value is high enough. The previous battle was solved by one person. A Macross-class battleship is still safe and sound. Today's young people are really incredible and cannot accept defeat."
"But young people sometimes don't think about things like us old guys. I often remind you. Just like last time, in order to suppress the rebellious fleet and the bugs that were enemies at that time, a space was lost. The bomb was on a planet. It was a big deal. Not even a hair was left on the entire planet. I gave him a severe criticism when I came back."
Xiao Ran listened to President Glass's nonsense. Although the face under the mask kept a smile, his eyes had already rolled up when he couldn't see them. He also admired President Glass's ability to brag.
The bald general glanced at Xiao Ran pretending to be surprised, a sharp look flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled and said: "Not bad, not bad. The young man is brave and capable. He is indeed a qualified successor. Glass, why don't you do it yet?" Please introduce me to this young talent."
Glass pretended to be surprised and said: "Why, don't you know him? Isn't he the Xiao Ran who is wanted by your Earth Unity Army headquarters? Hey, let me tell you, you can't keep such a capable person and you still want to treat him Are there any misunderstandings in making a wanted arrest? But I can tell you, how you want to be wanted is up to you. But in my case, he is my successor, the next president of the Twenty-fifth Fleet. .”
Glass deliberately named Xiao Ran's name, and even mentioned the fact that Xiao Ran was arrested by the headquarters of the Earth Alliance Army. He also said that no matter how wanted he was, he didn't care about the 25th Fleet. He was also explaining a problem to the other party, that is, the Earth Alliance Army Headquarters. He Jun's orders can't control the twenty-five fleets.
Glass said it happily, but it made Xiao Ran smile bitterly in his heart. The reason why he wore the mask was to temporarily conceal his identity. Although he knew that it was impossible to hide it, he just hoped that the conflict would not happen so quickly. It broke out directly, but Glass' words made Xiao Ran's preparation in vain.
President Glass's words made the bald general unable to keep his smile any longer, and the expressions of the people behind him almost paled.
The bald General George was silent for a while, and the previous smile had completely disappeared. He looked at Glass with a sharp look on his face and said, "Then what you mean, this fleet does not take the headquarters of the Earth Unity Army seriously." .”
President Glass took a long puff of his cigar, exhaled a puff of smoke and said lightly: "We are an autonomous ship group. We will consider reasonable requests based on the situation, but we will never agree to unreasonable orders. .”
The bald general asked again: "So you also completely rejected the previous request made by the Earth Unity Army?"
"Is that a request?" President Glass asked: "Why do I feel like it is like a murderous butcher knife?" (.)
