MTL - Interstellar Fairy Tale-Chapter 14

The chaos in the Republic of Seth subsided with a very impressive speed. Headed by Marshal Helu, the military forces quickly took control of most of the real power organs in the country's operation. On the surface, this is just a stopgap measure before the election of a new president. However, some politically sensitive people began to worry, whether this is the case. Represents the beginning of the military's beginning to take control of state power? The voices of doubts followed, but they disappeared after Marshal Helu announced the reopening of parliament and reorganized the temporary cabinet to act as the president. However, those who are interested will find that in the new parliament, many former real power people, including the former Speaker of the House of Lords Jeffrey and the Speaker of the House of Commons Derry, have been silently excluded from the center of power. The reason is high-sounding Yes, they must be held accountable for their actions! Even if the march was organized out of dissatisfaction with Shesha's brutal politics, it did have its footing, but after Shesha resigned and committed suicide, the identities of Jeffrey and Derry's group became awkward and delicate. stand up. At the press conference organized by the government, Liu Xi once again showed the work efficiency of government agencies and statistics of related matters before the interim President Shesha dissolved the parliament. These are undoubtedly another heavy blow to the former parliamentary power personnel.

Liu Xi's expression was serious, but he didn't bring any accusations. He was just stating a fact, a fact that forced Xie Sha to take risks to save the government's work.

"...It is true that the presentation of this document will make some people think it is a political blow or something, but, as a civil servant with a conscience, as a citizen of the Republic of Seth, I have to make this terrible truth public."

Liu Xi's words were short, but to the point. He was calm, wise, and justified. After Xie Sha committed suicide, most of the people sympathized with the former interim president, which made Liu Xi's words more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It made some people suspicious of Jeffrey and Derry.

Are they really just begging for the people? Or just for your own benefit?

Either way, the popularity of the two former Speakers began to plummet, replaced by admiration for Marshal Helu's aggressive style of ending domestic chaos, as well as praise for the handsome black-haired young man on TV .

Yes, handsome brunette young man.

Liu Xi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the face reflected on the window glass, and chuckled lightly. Although this would not make him invincible, this appearance could make his journey a little smoother. Thank you, my father, and mother.

There was a knock on the door, Liu Xi turned around, and Kent, who used to work for former President Franz, walked into Liu Xi's office, "Liu, you should prepare for the next press conference, the presidential election is in March, after statistics, Only a quarter or so of the members of the council have expressed their support for you, but if Marshal Heru would say so..."

"A quarter?" Liu Xi interrupted Kent, resting one hand on the table and loosening his tie, "It's a lot more than I expected, I thought it was only single digits."

"Liu?"

"It's ok."

Liu Xi walked in front of Kent, his black eyes condescendingly looking down at this man who came from a political family and whose ancestors once worked for Liu Rui, "Kent, you will help me, right? It's like you used to be in France before. It's the same as when Lanzi was working. I want to be the master of this country, no, I have to be the master of this country. As a descendant of Liu Rui, I can't watch the country founded by my ancestors, full of dreams and hopes, corrupted Wear it down with indecision! So, Kent, you'll help me, won't you?"

Kent looked at Liu Xi without avoiding those dark eyes, "Yes, I will."

"very good."

Liu Xi nodded with satisfaction, and took the document from Kent's hand, "Then, let's see which gentleman is willing to support me, or who is behind the scenes."

"Before that, I must tell you that the artificial celestial body of Royce seems to have sent an important message directly to the military. Although the exact content cannot be determined, I suspect that it is related to the disappearing Fourth Fleet."

"Important information? The Fourth Fleet?" Liu Xi raised his head, rubbing his slender fingers on his chin. Interim President Shesha committed suicide after resigning. The interim cabinet has not yet started to function, and the military has essentially become the highest authority in the Republic of Seth , then, it is not strange that the artificial celestial body of Royce sent the message to Marshal Helu, but this made Liu Xi inexplicably have some kind of strange worry. It seems that an unknown and uncontrollable thing is quietly happening. happened, and he knew absolutely nothing about it.

In the black universe, a cruise ship from the Kanon military fortress is heading for the mother planet Mars. Perhaps to emphasize the suspicion that the resurrected Captain Elfy appeared with the black fleet, the fortress commander specially assigned The confidant, Crete, went to the capital, Hercules, to meet David South, the commander-in-chief of the space fleet, and make sure that adult pay attention to this matter.

"You must convey exactly what I mean, without fail!"

The fortress commander said to Crete seriously.

And this confidant staff is about to visit the commander-in-chief of the space fleet, Lord David South, but at this moment he has no idea of ​​the urgent situation. He is enthusiastically and his wife Diana. The discussion, completely ignoring the pile of documents on the table and the overworked adjutant Joe, who was on the verge of collapse.

"Honey, do you think Austin has successfully made an appointment with that lovely child?"

"Yes, my dear." Diana's simulacrum smiled, "I really want to see with my own eyes how beautiful, tender and intelligent that child will be! I can't wait to prepare the flowers for the Austin wedding. Balls and ribbons."

"...Diana, don't forget, Austin has just turned fifteen years old, and there are still three years before the legal marriage age!"

"What does that matter? You can get engaged first..."

Shang Ping, who was sitting in the restaurant, suddenly shivered and sneezed three times in a row.

"Why, aren't you used to the smell of pepper?"

Austin, who was sitting across from Shang Ping, handed the recyclable tissue to Shang Ping.

"thanks."

Shang Ping took out the tissue and rubbed his nose. He knew how rude he had just acted. Having lived next to Colonel Edgar for 14 years, Shang Ping was very fortunate that he was able to recognize the term rude. The man who was wearing a colonel's coat but was acting like a robber had just called Shang Ping yesterday and told the poor boy that as his fifteenth birthday was approaching, the Sixth Fleet he was in had to follow the orders of the military department. Go to Fort Khanon and serve as a border guard with the resident Eighth Fleet.

Shang Ping only felt that the adopter with a smiley face was playing a big joke on him. Transfer to the Kanon military fortress? ! Working as a border guard? ! That means that before he graduates from Shangping Military Academy, or before he is eligible to go to the Kanon military fortress, there is no way for him to see the great adopter again except for videophone? !

Although Shang Ping was very annoyed at Colonel Edgar's powerful ability to make garbage, he still respected and grateful from the bottom of his heart for this adopter. Perhaps because of this, he felt a little at a loss for a while after hearing the news. It just so happened that Austin South came to the door again, and Shang Ping simply agreed to his invitation. Instead of staying in the dormitory alone and annoyed that Colonel Edgar gave him such a surprise birthday present, he might as well go out. Relax.

But would dinner with the iceberg beauty, Austin South, be a happy thing?

Shang Ping took this very real problem into consideration when he sat on the elongated spaceship.

Fortunately, Shang Ping's concerns did not come true, and the extended spaceship stopped in front of a seemingly tasteful restaurant. Although the Madoff Military Academy adopts a dormitory system for all staff, and the annual long vacation is pitiful, it still gives students one to two days of free time every two weeks, which is why Shang Ping is annoyed this time. Birthday in time for the holidays!

While thinking about his thoughts, Shang Ping almost cut the meat on the plate into pieces. Austin looked at Shang Ping's clenched brows in confusion. Is the food in this restaurant so unpalatable to him?

Fortunately, Shang Ping's senses were sharp enough. After sensing Austin's probing gaze, he saw the main dish that had been dismembered by himself. Shang Ping calmly picked up his fork, "Sorry, this is my dining habit, I My guardian taught me from a young age that food needs to be tasted well."

It doesn't have to be cut into pieces, right?

Austin didn't believe Shang Ping's words, but he also knew that Shang Ping was distracted just now. He picked up the goblet and sipped lightly colored champagne. No alcoholic beverages, not even a drop, are allowed. Students at the Madoff Military Academy need to strictly abide by them, otherwise they will be punished with the most severe confinement.

After finishing the main course, the waiter served dessert. Shang Ping didn't like sweets. To his surprise, Austin ate the mousse cake in front of him.

"Do you like sweets?"

"Yes." Austin put down his fork and wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin. "You hate desserts?"

"How to say it, it's not annoying, it's just not so palatable."

"So," Austin nodded, pointing to the blueberry cake that had only moved two bites in front of Shang Ping, "so, do you mind?"

"What do you mind?" Shang Ping still didn't understand, until Austin took the blueberry cake and picked up the fork, Shang Ping's mouth opened wide.

isn't it?

Under Shang Ping's unbelievable gaze, Austin South gracefully ate the blueberry cake into his stomach.

"Wasting food is bad behavior," Austin explained to Shang Ping.

But Shang Ping looked at the clean plate, still a little unable to let go. That's what he ate...

Well, he knew it was strange to be entangled in such things, but, please forgive his shyness in the East from his previous life. Shy feeling? Shang Ping shivered with disgust at his own thoughts.

After dinner, Shang Ping thought Austin would take him to a movie or sit somewhere. Unexpectedly, the spaceship took the two people back to the Madoff Military Academy, and Austin took Shang Ping all the way to the single-person fighter practice warehouse.

How is this?

Shang Ping couldn't understand Austin's behavior pattern at all.

"Now, are we friends?"

Austin looked serious, and Shang Ping nodded subconsciously.

"Then," a flash of light flashed in Austin's eyes, "then, as a friend, I invite you to do a single-player fighter simulation with me!"

What? !
