Star Sea Lord

()Banquet hall.

Qin Weigeng sat alone in the corner, sipping wine expressionlessly, and there were also a lot of empty glasses on the table.But different from others, there was no one within ten meters around him, and no one came to talk to him.Including those old friends of the Minister of Defense in the past, now they are all strangers!

Everyone now understands that the marshal's power career has entered the countdown, and at the next plenary meeting of the Supreme Ruling Council, the No. 1 Imperial Army, a heavyweight who was once famous in the world of Star Sea, will officially call a curtain call. Disappointedly withdrew from the interstellar stage, and has since disappeared from everyone.Spend the rest of your life silently in a corner that no one cares about.

People haven't left yet, but the tea is already cold!

Youyou sighed, the marshal got up slowly, and walked out of the hall without saying a word.

The fireworks in the night sky were still in full bloom, and the flickering light and shadow reflected his haggard face, and an unspeakable sadness welled up in his heart.

I think back then, when I just graduated from the military academy, I was still in the prime of life and full of vigor!For most of his life in the military, he started as a small soldier, and all the way was full of wars and bloody storms. Many familiar friends of Paoze died on the battlefield, but he was the only one who survived fortunately.When he succeeded his predecessor as the Minister of Defense and entered the highest decision-making level, he was so full of ambition and determined to dedicate everything to this country!

In order to compete for resources and expand the living space, the empire's legions have been fighting all kinds of alien creatures in the major galaxies almost all year round!Among them, he personally planned and completed various major battles no less than a hundred times, and none of them failed!Only then did he obtain the highest honor of the emperor's hero: the jade-patterned handsome stick and six Chinese hero medals.

However, because of my overconfidence, I violated the advice my former teacher and boss gave me before I retired: don’t get too involved in politics, soldiers are soldiers, and you should use your talents on the battlefield that suits you, rashly entering unfamiliar fields and powerful forces. The enemy's arm-wrestling is by no means the work of a qualified commander.

It's a pity that I didn't take his words seriously, so I lost it at the end of the day, so that I had a bleak exit today!

A girl in a white evening dress hurried past him, looking back inadvertently, her beautiful face was so cold that a layer of frost could be scraped off in an instant!

Yang Yueqi looked around, and found that it was really inappropriate to make trouble on such an occasion, and after a few hesitations, she reluctantly gave up the plan to do something, gave him a hard look, turned around and walked away angrily.

He smiled self-deprecatingly, didn't say anything, and continued to look at the fireworks in the sky in a daze.

"Marshal!" A familiar voice suddenly came from behind.

He turned his head blankly, and found that Xue Cangyun had actually walked over, holding a wine bottle in his hand.

"You have a good drink tonight!" He said lightly, but he couldn't feel a warm feeling in his heart. Even if the world is full of enemies, there are always one or two genuine people who are willing to go with him.

Xue Cangyun smiled, raised the wine bottle and took a big gulp, before lazily saying: "Don't worry about those snobbish guys, I'm a soldier, so I don't have so many tricks!"

Qin Weigeng frowned slightly, and said with a wry smile: "You can't do it like this now! Soon you will join the Supreme Executive Council, can't you ignore some basic political common sense?"

"I don't care about my old bones! But you... now represent the interests of hundreds of millions of empire soldiers, and you no longer have the right to be as willful as before!"

"I know!" Xue Cangyun took another sip of wine and said in a muffled voice:

"It's just a last indulgence! You are really serious, why do you have to find me? Yin Guoxuan is no worse than me, Zhuang Depeng's ability is also good, and Song Kun's old cunning, even Jiang Mingtao is better than me in politics Why did you pick me?"

"Let me accompany those politicians to meetings and fights every day, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist throwing them all off the top of the thousand-story skyscraper!"

Qin Weigeng said solemnly: "The reason why you were chosen instead of those other guys is because only you can balance the forces of the various factions in the army. No matter what, our army must not be chaotic! The reckless actions of certain politicians, except you, I don’t think anyone else can clean up the current bad situation better!”

"Okay! I knew it was like this!" Xue Cangyun shrugged helplessly and stopped talking!

"You have to pay more attention to the affairs in the northwest region," Qin Weigeng urged again,

"Those damned Gambino people don't shed tears when they see the coffin, so don't hold back any hands in the future, just seize the opportunity to beat them hard! This battle with the Northern Hell Empire won't last long! In the end, the two sides still have to go back. Come to the negotiating table, and those restless guys around, in short, you just keep it in check!"

Xue Cangyun was silent for a moment before saying: "For now, I don't think these alien races can cause us much trouble. I am more worried about our human civilization!"

"I heard that in the restless Fusang country, the newly-inaugurated Prime Minister Nobuki Miyazawa is coming forward to make secret contacts with several other human countries, trying to take advantage of our lack of time to unite to attack the empire and blackmail some benefits..."

"How much trouble can a group of clowns who don't even count as third-rate forces make such a big splash?" Qin Weigeng said disdainfully,

"Aren't you still afraid of their low-level opponents?"

"Of course it's fine if it's just them, but I'm afraid that they will violate the principles and bottom line, choose to collude with other races, and jump out to make trouble at critical moments!" Xue Cangyun frowned.

In today's human world, it is true that the Chinese civilization occupies a dominant position. The descendants of the dragon spread over three-quarters of the Milky Way's territory, and also occupy many overseas autonomous territories and resource-rich wild star fields. It is a well-deserved "zhong yang empire" , but the remaining human countries still never gave up their efforts to return to the top!

Fusang Empire, Europa Federation, Maurya Dynasty, and Saxon Alliance (including the United States, Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other English-speaking countries in the old earth era) Arab Empire and so on!Although these human countries originated from the same planet as the Chinese Empire, their relationship with each other is even worse than some alien civilizations!

Within a civilization and within a race, only one boss is enough!In the past history, in order to compete for the dominance of the human world, these countries united to fight against the Chinese Empire, no less than those alien civilizations!

Although in certain periods of time, when faced with a severe external crisis of survival, human nations can temporarily put aside their prejudices and unite to deal with the outside world, but most of the time, they are on guard against each other, and even fight each other with swords!

As the Chinese civilization continues to expand and its strength continues to increase, other human countries are gradually being pushed further and further apart. Now, they are no longer rivals at the same level!

Regardless of the key data that symbolizes the level of national power, such as population, per capita gross national product, average natural resource occupancy, industrial product production capacity, military size and quality, and the number of inventions of high-tech science and technology, these countries can only account for the Chinese Empire. It's just a fraction of it!

Of course, this is not the first time that such a situation has occurred. As early as the Earth Age, the Chinese civilization once occupied the pinnacle of the world for 2000 years, and only declined briefly for 200 years after entering the Industrial Age. After entering the interstellar era, it was able to rise again.

But the ruling class of Western civilization is not reconciled to losing their former status. They stubbornly believe that only their own culture and system are the best!In that era of poverty and weakness, even many Hanjians in China believed that it was natural for Chinese civilization to be inferior to others, and that believing in the West and being assimilated by Western civilization was the only way out for Chinese people!

However, the wheel of history is rolling forward. Thousands of years later, the Chinese Empire has not only occupied an absolutely strong position in the human world, but even in the known world of Star Sea, it is also one of the top three superpowers. !Even the most arrogant and rebellious alien civilizations dare not ignore the existence of the empire!

Therefore, under such circumstances, in order to defend their meager interests and dignity, many forces in those countries advocate forming alliances with foreign civilizations to jointly contain and deal with the Chinese Empire, and they will not hesitate to violate the principles and bottom lines of being human in exchange for their own survival and development!

Xue Cangyun sneered and said, "If these clowns really dare to treat their thieves as their fathers, they will be their masters! Then I dare to send troops to destroy them! Don't worry!"

……

Wei Zhenhua made another glass of wine and was drinking it leisurely, telling the young officers around him from time to time.

Suddenly, a maid who just passed by him caught his attention.

"This beautiful lady, please come here!" He winked at the young officer beside him, and then he said with a smile.

The maid who was called froze, turned around and asked politely, "What do you want?"

"Do you know where you made a mistake?" Wei Zhenhua asked gently.

"..." A look of panic flashed in the maid's eyes, she pursed her lips tightly and remained silent.

The Grand Consul sighed with some regret: "Beautiful lady, the waiters in the state banquet hall are not as low as you think! All their clothes are tailor-made, and they are very suitable for your figure. You The clothes obviously do not belong to you, and you do not understand the etiquette of dressing in Hanfu, for example, the shape of your bun and the position of the headgear are slightly different from the normal standard!"

"And the waiter's smile should be kind and natural, but your expression... I don't remember ever owing you a large sum of money?"

The maid's complexion changed wildly, and a cold murderous intent burst out of her eyes, she raised her arms suddenly, smashed the plate in her hand towards him, and then turned around and rushed towards Qin Qiyuan and the empress in the distance!

With a wave of the young officer's hand, the flying plate was fixed in mid-air, and then more than a dozen silver chains appeared out of thin air, binding the maid tightly!

But not far away, several maidservants took off their disguises one after another and raised their voices!
