Interstellar Fairy Tale - Chapter 82
The city hall is not as well-guarded as imagined. At least compared to the Mars Space Fleet headquarters where Admiral Hood is stationed, most of the government officials in civilian clothes in the city hall will not let the air smell of gunpowder.
Although Shang Ping and Rochette were accused by Principal Gus, they were still soldiers of the Mars Space Fleet until they were examined.
“Then, please wait a moment.”
Adjutant Joe took the two to the reception room next to David Soth’s office. Obviously, both the Marshal Space Fleet Commander and his adjutant were all interested in these two young men who had performed well on the battlefield. There is a kind of closeness and goodwill, even if they have been captured, but this does not obliterate their excellent performance in battle.
The Mars people respect the soldiers, and on this point, Commander-in-Chief David South and Admiral Hodder have a rare agreement.
The furnishings in the reception room are a bit lackluster, not as luxurious as imagined, with a large sofa and a coffee table made of transparent synthetic metal. The four corners of the room are green plants that are very common in Mars. The color of the floor and walls is very monotonous, occupying half of the wall. The windows, the Mars flag, the military flag, and the bust of the commander-in-chief of the Mars Space Fleet are hung on the opposite walls. Shang Ping took a look at it with interest, and thought with some wicked interest, does the Mars Space Fleet’s appointment of the commander-in-chief not only consider military exploits and family background, but also have great requirements on appearance?
I can’t blame Shang Ping for having such a strange idea. It is true that the great soldiers in uniform in the portraits all have handsome faces, but, obviously, David South is still the best among them.
Lochte was still a little restless, and the waiting time was always difficult. Shang Ping was a little bored. From the former Admiral Hodder to the current Commander David South, the words and deeds of these big people are not something that a small person like him can figure out, but it also gave Shang Ping a signal that this review is not as good as What Uncle Edgar imagined was not even as serious as he himself expected.
Shang Ping breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and looked out from the window of the reception room. His field of vision was filled with dark buildings, which was not a beautiful scene. Looking further into the distance, in front of the city hall was a group of soldiers in black military uniforms, carrying laser guns on their shoulders. Compared with the ones used in battle, the handles of the guns had more patterns with Mars characteristics.
Is it flashy? Shang Ping does not think so.
He looked back, brushed his fingers against the corners of his lips, and sat back on the sofa again, feeling that time was slow and the room was empty.
David Soth did not make the two young men wait longer. He was dressed in a marshal’s uniform, and his blond hair and dark green eyes were the symbols of the Soth family. Perhaps it was these two familiar colors that made Shang Ping in the After standing at attention and salute, it is impossible to be overly wary of the powerful person in front of him.
“Please sit down.”
David South sat down and relieved the tension of the two young people with a very real gesture.
Yes, no need to be nervous.
“As a person, I don’t agree with the use of censorship to accuse the soldiers in the Mars Space Fleet in disguise without any clear evidence!”
David Soth’s words were loud, not like the tone of a long-term superior. He was too blunt and expressed his attitude prematurely, which made Shang Ping a little overwhelmed.
This is true of Admiral Hodder, and the same is true of Commander-in-Chief David South. Since everyone does not agree with this method of review, what should be the explanation of the order to recall him and Rochette from the Canon Fortress to the capital?
Shang Ping did not believe that Martin, the chief executive of Mars, would sign the order without the permission of the military.
“But, Your Excellency, I don’t understand.”
Shang Ping did not ask any questions, but simply and clearly expressed his doubts. Rochette didn’t know what to say anymore.
David South put one hand on the armrest of the sofa, and his slender fingers lightly stroked the pattern on the armrest. Said to Shang Ping: “I don’t understand, it doesn’t matter, you just need to know what to do.”
“As a Mars soldier, loyal, brave, and abandon hypocrisy and cowardice in the black sea of the universe. This is the definition given by Madoff Whitewhite to a Mars soldier. Every Mars boy must keep this sentence in mind.”
“Yes, Your Excellency.”
Shang Ping didn’t have any hesitation, and he didn’t allow him to hesitate. Maybe he still didn’t understand what these superiors were thinking, but he knew what he should do.
David South did not stay for too long, but left Shang Ping and Rochette with a small metal communicator before the end of the conversation. Their own communication devices are not allowed to be used until the review is over.
Shang Ping fiddled with the communicator in his hand, and just after turning it on, he received a message that stunned him. Rub your eyes. Suspected that something was wrong with his eyes.
The wife of the commander-in-chief of the space fleet invited her to dinner? !
After David South walked out of the reception room, he sighed helplessly. For Diana’s request, he had done what he could. I hope the child would not be too surprised when he received the invitation.
golden empire
As a symbol of the supreme power of the Golden Empire, the Ivan Summer Palace has always spared no effort to leave traces of his reign in every corner of the palace. This makes the layout and style of the entire palace always have some indescribable sense of inconsistency in decades or hundreds of years. The harmony of solemnity and romance may not be called wonderful, but it is enough to show dazzling luxury.
However, at this moment, the owner of the palace, Heiny III, was already lingering on the bed, and the imperial physician could not find out the reason for the emperor’s serious illness, and perhaps they didn’t want to look for it either. The changes of imperial power in the past dynasties are always **** and conspiracy. What’s more, Haini III has long been unpopular. Whether it is the imperial army or the royal family, the tolerance of Haini III’s repeated stupid behavior has already reached a critical point. Queen Yilan skillfully pushed this dissatisfaction upward gradually. Li, Grand Duchess Eve can only face Derain, who has just been identified, all day long? Edrich bemoaned, while her brother Ser Kurt was already devastated. From the day Haini III was placed under house arrest in disguised form, the brother and sister seemed to have been strangled by bad luck.
Queen Yilan’s strong family background and years of painstaking management among the royal family and aristocrats made Soran Edrich, who was heavily armed, won overwhelming support in this unfair competition for the throne.
This first prince who was favored by the **** of war, whenever he appeared in front of the people, would arouse fanatical cheers, gorgeous, commanding, brave and good at fighting. This prince seemed to have received all the blessings of the gods of the Golden Empire. He was dressed in The traditional white military dress of the Golden Empire is embellished with silver and blue patterns. With his long silver hair and icy blue eyes, no one would doubt that this silver-haired prince will replace the reckless and reckless prince after this banquet called Celebration of the New Commemoration of Heiny III’s reign. Stupid man sits on the throne of the emperor, yes, it won’t be long.
Soran Edrich raised the wine glass, his ice blue eyes looked at the dark red liquid in the glass, surrounded by military and political dignitaries, but no one could guess what he was thinking at the moment.
