"Is that old man finally willing to see me?" Xu Qiusheng took a deep breath and said with a complex expression after hearing this.

Since the Battle of Xuyue Star, he followed the Macrophagy Legion to the Blackstone Star Region and was brought to Xu Changqing. He still remembers the scene that night.

In front of Xu Changqing, he pointed a gun at him and made his life experience clear.

Xu Qiusheng originally thought that his identity as Xu Dingming, General Guanglu of the Empire, would impress the other party, so he pressed the alarm without hesitation. The final result was that he killed Xu Changqing, and then he was randomly shot by the angry giant army.

die.

However, Xu Changqing didn't even show an expression after hearing this. It seemed that he already knew Xu Qiusheng's identity that he thought he had hidden well, but he never mentioned it.

Faced with this old man who was half a master and a father, Xu Qiusheng failed to pull the trigger, and was knocked down by Xu Changqing with a punch. He was punished with three days of confinement, and was given three days off and a key to his home.

After that night, Xu Qiusheng finally let go of the grudges of the past.

His father Xu Dingming died on the battlefield. Such a battle situation was either your death or my death. It was also related to the victory or defeat of the turning point battle of the Federation. The man who was the commander-in-chief of the two armies at that time could not show mercy. Maybe in

To kill the opponent openly or to die in battle on the battlefield is the fate of a soldier and a commander.

Therefore, Xu Qiusheng could not pin Xu Dingming's death on Xu Changqing's head after all, because if he really investigated it, he was only the supreme commander at the time, and the orders were issued at all levels, and his father Xu Dingming did not know where he died.

Under a cannonball.

That night, Xu Qiusheng was depressed because he gave up his hatred and was punched again. He failed to shoot the bullet in Xu Changqing's forehead. Therefore, as an artilleryman of the Third Artillery Battalion of the Subrion, he took that bullet with him.

Taking the key given by Xu Changqing, he returned to the residential building in the Blackstone Military Region where he had lived for three years, and gave Xu Changqing's daughter, Xu Youlan, to her.

But what made him even more depressed was that the shelling, which was supposed to be a retaliatory attack, did not encounter any decent resistance. The enemy completely gave up the defense after the symbolic resistance, and key positions were lost one after another. In the end, the

The messy battle was fought with tears and complaints, and the two people were in love with each other.

In this way, Xu Changqing, who he had accused of killing his father to some extent, became his real father-in-law. Afterwards, Xu Qiusheng often teased himself whether this was considered acknowledging a thief as his father. Xu Youlan, who became his wife, every time she heard this from him

She laughed at herself like that, still looking at him with a faint smile like the big sister next door.

Xu Qiusheng was very satisfied with his life after marriage, but he still wanted to go back to the capital star circle. He went to help Shi Chen, but he was a step too late. The real Shi Chen disappeared that night in the Europa Beer Hall, and Ye Mengqi pretended to be

Shi Chen suddenly became the leader of the revolutionary army, which made him very uncomfortable.

Time passed smoothly for more than a year, until after Elizabeth came to power, the counterattack against the Empire broke out. During this period, he could be regarded as a brave warrior, and he was responsible for leading the team's combat missions and also achieved successive victories. But since then, he has become a star.

After the war, his transfer order to the front line was ignored by Xu Changqing, which puzzled him.

It wasn't until he had a casual chat with one of Xu Changqing's adjutants that Xu Qiusheng understood the complexity of the current situation.

When the Great Phage Expeditionary Force was established, it had the responsibility of supervising the Blackstone Military Region, and Xu Changqing has always been Elizabeth's direct descendant. However, since Elizabeth lost power and the parliamentarians took control of the House of Lords, the Great Phage Expeditionary Force has been in trouble.

It’s so easy. It’s just that the forces in the capital star circle don’t

They were willing to waste financial and material resources to guard the Blackstone Sector, which was always at war, so they kept the Great Phage Expeditionary Force. However, Xu Changqing's military system was demoted to division commander. However, issues such as military supplies have been stuck, resulting in the Great Phage Expedition.

The army will have to find a way to support itself for a long time.

This problem was not solved until after the Battle of Sudake Star. The purpose of doing so was to appease the morale of the military with something that cost little.

However, the initial mission of the Phage Expeditionary Force has not changed, which is to guard the Blackstone Sector. This is particularly important in recent years when the Blackstone Military Region has become increasingly restless.

It is precisely because of this that Xu Qiusheng was a little confused about Xu Changqing's summons.

As the messenger arrived at the military region headquarters, Xu Qiusheng finally met Xu Changqing in an office inside.

Although this man is still energetic, the paleness between his brows and temples cannot conceal his fatigue and increasingly obvious aging.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Xu Changqing took off his reading glasses, raised his hand and pointed to the chair opposite him and said: "Sit."

Xu Qiusheng sat down as he was told, looked at the old man in front of him with a complex expression, and asked, "What do you want from me?"

"You have been married to Lan'er for two years, and you don't even want to be called 'Dad'?" Xu Changqing frowned slightly, looking a little unhappy because of Xu Qiusheng's rudeness.

"That would really be like recognizing a thief as your father." Shi Chen curled his lips and said.

"You!" Xu Changqing's forehead was stretched with veins, and he was obviously very angry. "I gave you a chance at the beginning, but you gave up on your own. What's the matter? Now that you have married Lan'er, you refuse to admit it?"

"Those are two different things."

"Why are there two different things?" Xu Changqing's chest rose and fell extremely several times. He suppressed his anger, knowing that he would not be able to figure it out if he continued to get entangled with this bastard, so he simply changed the topic, "I'm here to find you this time.

, I have something to ask you to go to."

As he spoke, he pushed a file bag marked 'extremely confidential' in front of Xu Qiusheng.

Xu Qiusheng frowned and opened the file bag and quickly flipped through it. When he saw a photo inside, his pupils suddenly shrank and he became a little excited, "It's Chenzi and the others!"

Seeing that Xu Qiusheng was so sure, Xu Changqing sighed, "It's indeed them. What kind of bad friends have you made?"

"Didn't you just destroy a few battleships of the Blackstone Legion? What's more, in my opinion, that old dog Su Yehongtu might have done it first. If this thing hadn't happened, we wouldn't even know about him.

He ran there without anyone noticing, so he must have some evil intentions." Xu Qiusheng said disapprovingly.

Seeing Xu Qiusheng's reaction, Xu Changqing rubbed his temples with a headache. He didn't know whether his plans and arrangements were right or wrong. He took a deep breath and said: "No matter what Su Yehongtu's purpose is, he attacks the Blackstone Military Region without permission.

This is already a serious crime, especially now it is a sensitive and critical period, because of the mess caused by your friend and Her Royal Highness the Princess. Now all the surrounding star areas have issued wanted orders, and even our area has been under martial law."

"Hey! Are they still reasonable?" Xu Qiusheng suddenly became angry.

Xu Changqing was really helpless towards this son-in-law who only had muscles in his mind. "No matter what, the attack on the Blackstone Fleet is a fact. This is a crime that cannot be evaded in any case. Moreover, the battleship they were riding on had a very obvious imperial style."

, and now there are rumors in the federal military department that Captain Shi faked his identity, formed a clique for personal gain, and intended to commit treason."

"I think these people are intent on treason!" Xu Qiusheng suddenly thought of something and murmured: "Then Ye Mengqi and the others are in a very dangerous situation, isn't it?"

This sentence fell into Xu Changqing's ears, and he finally confirmed something, "Is the Captain Shi on Chi Mingxing really fake?"

"No, I have to go to the front line to find them." Xu Qiusheng couldn't sit still. Although he didn't like Ye Mengqi, a woman with too many thoughts, she was Shi Chen's girlfriend after all. His future sister-in-law, he

I couldn't just watch everything happen. I stood up and walked out.

"stop!"

Xu Qiusheng turned around and said, "I'm sorry, I have to go this time with or without your order."

"If you go now, you probably won't be able to catch up." Xu Changqing analyzed: "But you can rest assured that the person pretending to be Captain Shi will only be dismissed for the time being and investigated. Moreover, the Blackstone Military Region does not have many forces on the front line. Maybe when things become clearer,

There shouldn’t be too many changes before.”

"What guarantee do you have?" Xu Qiusheng was a little unsure.

"Chi Mingxing's military department. Some of them are my people. Before the matter is determined, I can ensure the safety of your friend, but I need a handwritten letter from you."

Xu Qiusheng thought for a long time, nodded, and then asked: "You are trying every possible means to prevent me from going to the front line. What exactly do you want me to do?"

Xu Changqing stood up, looked at the starry sky outside the window, and said: "I need you to keep an eye on Su Yehongtu. Although I don't know what his purpose is in going there this time, but after previous reports, the Blackstone Military Region's armaments

A very important strategic weapon in the stockpile has been transferred away, which is very dangerous."

"That war apostle?" Xu Qiusheng once heard the other party talk about this matter.

As the guard commander of the Sith Emperor at that time, Su Yehongtu also had a war apostle of his own. However, no one had seen him use it since the Silver Cross War, but he did not expect that he would take it out this time.

The Blackrock Sector.

"That's right." Xu Changqing said: "In addition, there is a batch of unidentified supplies, but it should not be that simple to take them away with the war apostles."

Xu Qiusheng was silent for a long time and said, "Okay, I'll go there."

Xu Changqing pushed an approved transfer order written document in front of him.

Xu Qiusheng didn't think much, picked up the transfer order and stuffed it into his pocket, and was about to leave, but a man's dry voice came from behind him, "Take Lan'er away with you and find a place where you think it is safe.

"

Xu Qiusheng's dark eyebrows suddenly frowned, "Why?"

"The Blackstone Star Region may not be peaceful recently. If you leave, I won't have anything to worry about."

Xu Qiusheng suddenly became happy and deliberately said: "If you die, I will take Lan'er to burn incense for you. Let's go." He slammed the door and left.

"What a bastard! White-eyed wolf!" Xu Changqing's face turned black with anger. He raised the blue and white porcelain teacup in his hand and was about to throw it down. Finally, he put it down angrily and sighed helplessly.

After sitting there for a long time, he pulled out the document that he had already read once. His hands began to tremble involuntarily, and he didn't know whether it was because of anger or unknown fear.

He crumpled it into a ball of paper and dialed a phone number, "Raise to the highest alert and closely monitor the Blackstone Military District's response."

At the Blackstone Star Space Transfer Station, two battleships belonging to the Blackstone Military Region and the Macrophagy Legion sailed away from the Blackstone Star Region one after another.

After that, news about the battleship fire on Titan quickly spread throughout the entire Federation.

The Suye Hongtu Yiying fleet suddenly appeared in the solar system and was severely damaged by an unknown warship, which was suspected to be caused by an imperial warship.

The empire's warships appeared in the hinterland of the Federation without anyone noticing, and even successfully attacked the Blackstone Fleet within the Federation's territory. The whole incident was filled with a strange atmosphere.

For a time, the whole world was in an uproar.

On the Chiming front line, the war is still in a state of turmoil. Under such circumstances, all resources will become military resources during the war. Some cities on the Chiming planet that are close to metal minerals and industries have become hot spots for this war.

Then it gradually turned into wasteland under the bombardment of gunpowder smoke and ammunition.

There are many explanations for how this war, which was supposed to be fought in one go, ended up like this, but the most common one is probably that the military's political leaders had different opinions.

Although Elizabeth integrated all the forces of the Federation as quickly as possible, it was not so easy to build it into the iron-barrel power it had during the Silver Cross War.

Under the infiltration of three factions and five surnames, the federal army is no longer so simple. Many of them have their own will and listen to the voices behind them.

Under such circumstances, it is simply impossible to have the army at your disposal.

Because some troops obeyed and disobeyed the military order after it was issued, the Federation missed the best opportunity to take over the entire Chi Mingxing Domain in one fell swoop. As the imperial troops successively arrived and forced landing, Chi Mingxing had completely turned into a huge meat grinder.

, but death did not alleviate this contradiction. Instead, various referral issues arose due to the army's battle losses.

For example, in the command hall at this moment, such a scene is playing out.

"Are you disobeying orders?" A pot-bellied major general scolded a young officer in front of him with an angry face.

This young officer has a fair complexion and good features. Standing in front of Major General Qian Yunzhi, who is tall and powerful, he looks even more thin. This is really unusual among federal soldiers who are generally tall and strong.

However, few people in the military headquarters dared to be so rude to him, because although he only had the rank of captain, he was the leader and commander-in-chief of the New Crusade, ‘Shi Chen’.

Ye Mengqi has been pretending to be "Shi Chen" for two years. Sometimes she even feels that she has become one with the character of Shi Chen. Faced with the deliberate troubles and subordinates of this nominal boss,

Filled with righteous indignation, she did not have any timidity and said without being humble or arrogant: "I dare not, but although your military position is higher than mine, you have no right to let my people die."
