At this time, Lin Hai on the side asked curiously: "Su Mo, in what position did you retire?"
Su Mo scratched his head, coughed and said, "It's nothing, he seems to be a general."
Hearing Su Mo's words, Lin Hai and others couldn't help but stop eating the tableware in their hands.
"General? Are you willing to retire? You must know that the eldest brother who has been working hard on the front line is only a major general. Moreover, due to the increase in the number of people joining the army, the Federation is demoting all officers. The current military rank remains unchanged, which is a disguised promotion.
of."
"Have a meal."
Lin Yaotian saw Lin Hai's shocked expressions and scolded him angrily.
Lin Hai and others quickly lowered their heads.
At this time, Lin Xiaoyu picked up a napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth, stood up, and said coldly: "Father, I've finished eating, and I'm leaving now."
After saying that, he stood up and left.
"sit down!"
Lin Yaotian said in a low voice.
Although Lin Xiaoyu was very reluctant, he did not dare to disobey Lin Yaotian and could only sit down.
Lin Hai quickly explained to Qian Chengxue: "Sister Xiaoyu is a bit ignorant, don't mind."
"It's fine."
Qian Chengxue shook her head and didn't take it to heart. She saw Lin Xiaoyu's eyes were quite gentle.
When Su Mo saw this scene, he couldn't help but speculate. If he guessed correctly, the person who exchanged money with Qian Chengxue should be Lin Yixuan.
Lin Xiaoyu and Lin Yixuan seem to be born to the same mother.
Looking at the men at this table, it is obvious that the big family values boys over girls.
Now it seems that Lin Xiaoyu's mother is obviously dead, so she doesn't even come out to eat.
And Lin Xiaoyu used to have at least one Lin Yixuan brother above her, so she wouldn't be criticized. Now that she has become a sister, she is naturally very annoyed.
Therefore, it is normal not to see Qian Chengxue.
However, Su Mo also figured out one thing. Lin Yaotian and Ye Tian should have known about it for a long time.
Otherwise, it would not be such a coincidence that Ye Tian was so kind to Lin Yixuan, sending mechas as gifts, and caring about him.
But Lin Yaotian would not personally teach Qian Chengxue from the beginning and support her in every way.
At this time, Lin Yaotian said to Qian Chengxue in a deep voice: "I heard that you recently won the federal public tender for a section."
"Yes, father."
Qian Chengxue nodded in response.
"If you have any problems with funds, tell the steward, and your ship will go with the Lin family's ship when the time comes."
Although Lin Yaotian didn't say much, he explained the matter well.
"OK."
Qian Chengxue nodded and responded.
When Su Mo heard this, his impression of Lin Yaotian improved a lot. Asking the housekeeper for money was equivalent to saying that he planned to pay for it privately.
That said, it's pretty good for Qian Chengxue.
At this moment, the housekeeper suddenly walked in in a hurry and whispered a few words in Lin Yaotian's ear.
Lin Yaotian's brows raised directly.
Lin Hai asked in confusion: "What's the matter with father?"
"Congressman Drega is here."
Lin Yaotian said in a deep voice.
"Then should we avoid it?"
Lin Hai asked quickly.
"No, you can just listen. We are all family members."
Lin Yaotian had no intention of avoiding everyone.
"yes!"
Lin Hai and others quickly replied.
Su Mo curiously asked Qian Chengxue in a low voice: "Who is this Congressman Drega? Why haven't I heard of him before?"
Qian Chengxue explained to Su Mo softly: "Member Drega is one of the representatives of the hawks in the parliament and strongly advocates the war against the imperial army. You may not be aware that in the past two years, the parliament has been divided into two groups. One group advocates fighting against the Imperial Army.
The Imperial Army launches an attack, and one group is conservative. They feel that they should focus on fighting for resources now and ignore the Imperial Army for the time being."
After Su Mo listened, he nodded slightly.
"Understood."
Not long after, a middle-aged man with sharp eyes, dressed as a federal senator, and walking vigorously came in.
Lin Yaotian immediately stood up and said to Senator Drega.
"Let's sit and eat together."
Drega did not shirk, he sat directly opposite Lin Yaotian, and then said with a smile.
"Sir Lin Yaotian, I don't speak secretly. I came to you today for business."
"I know, just say it. There is no one else here."
Lin Yaotian had no intention of avoiding others.
Seeing that Lin Yaotian had said this, Dreja was not polite anymore. He went directly to the subject and said: "Sir Lin Yaotian, I know that you are also a soldier, and you should have a bit of blood in you."
"certainly."
Lin Yaotian replied without hesitation.
"Well, don't you think there is a problem with the current strategic policy of the Parliament? We are kind and do not seek trouble from the Imperial Army. Instead, over the years they have been secretly scheming, pretending to be pirates, etc., and constantly attacking our ships.
Ship, kill our people, and rob our supplies, do you think you still have to endure it?"
Drega asked sharply.
"You are right, but we have no substantive evidence. Another point is that we are at a critical moment now. The speaker of the parliament is considering the overall situation. What we want now is to maximize and strengthen ourselves."
Lin Yaotian replied calmly.
"There is no evidence. General Li and his family were killed by the Gao Moto Empire's minions three years ago. The video was finally sent back. They are so arrogant that they dare to intercept and kill our general. How can they bear this?"
Drega replied extremely annoyed.
Lin Yaotian became more and more silent. He raised his glass and drank it in one gulp, but did not immediately answer Drega's words.
When Su Mo heard this, his brows furrowed. These imperial troops were indeed going too far.
He could more or less see that Lin Yaotian was also holding back his anger. The reason why Drega came to persuade Lin Yaotian was probably because he had done his homework in advance.
However, a scene that surprised everyone appeared. Lin Yaotian did not express his position as Drega expected. He just said in a deep voice: "I am very aware of all the criminal behaviors of the Imperial Army. But now is not the time to care.
It’s all about the overall situation.”
"Hmph, I always thought you, Lin Yaotian, were a bloody person, but I didn't expect it to be anything more than this. If you're afraid, just say so. When will our federation need to be wary of those barbarians?"
Drega said with very unhappy eyes.
"Once a war breaks out, you cannot control it just because you want to. The situation will only develop in an uncontrollable direction. Don't act rashly before you are fully sure. In this regard, I unconditionally support the decision of the Speaker of the Parliament. Don't forget the previous elections.
How did the civilization that participated in the World Cup be destroyed, and who is our real enemy?"
Lin Yaotian said unusually calmly.
Drega's face trembled, and he said in a cold voice: "Excuses are just excuses. There is no need to say those royal words. But Lord Lin Yaotian, I hope you can think carefully about what you just said. There is a saying that is good, but Tao is different.
, don’t work together, your words and deeds are likely to narrow the road in the future.”
