#150 magnificent white bird (4)

Just a few steps away from the gate of the military headquarters, the respected imperial commander was poured into chicken soup by the torrential rain, and his trousers were stained with the mud stains that had just been lifted by the crystal bones.

However, Ryan could see that although Chen Hank was howling with grief and indignation, he didn't seem to be surprised that he would say these words and do such a thing.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, Chen Hank put away the exaggerated expression on his face, grinned, and let out a low laugh.

"Your Highness, you need to know." The old man slowly wiped the rain off his face and straightened his back. "Fifty-two years, if we start from the old empire, that's more than a hundred years. We are exactly the same. By dormancy and forbearance, sacrifice and separation, we have won enough time."

"Stepping on the bones of the heroes of the same family, we let the empire recuperate, let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and rebuild the order of civilization from the chaos brought by crystal particles."

"Using the blood of the victims as nourishment, we let the curing rays and tranquilizers be subtly popularized in the military and civilians, so that the technology can be developed, the talents can grow, and the power in all fields has been strengthened."

Old Marshal Chen smiled slowly, with a sharpness in his eyes that tortured the soul: "It was the White Bird plan that saved mankind. What do you want to use to convince me that human civilization should give up?" Exchanging individual sacrifices for racial survival ' strategy, what about giving up this life-saving straw?"

The back garden of the White Emerald Palace.

When the conversation died down, the rain gradually subsided. The black-haired young man sat under the pavilion opposite the empress of the empire, and there was no one else around, save for the occasional three or two gray finches that flew by.

After a long time, Jiang Jianming raised his dark eyes, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

He said cautiously: "I understand the Shiratori plan and the choices that the empire needs to face now. But is there something wrong with the way you and the old marshal canvassed votes?"

A look of indescribable expression appeared on the face of the young man Qingjun, "At least, we should reverse the selection of the respective candidates...?"

Lin Ge suddenly laughed: "You don't think the crown prince will agree with Old Chen's suggestion, right?"

She smiled and blinked mysteriously: "Isn't that just a coincidence, I feel the same way. Although you put your life on the line, that little bastard never plays cards according to common sense."

Having said that, the female emperor took off the black velvet cloak on her shoulders, "It's getting cold in this rain, you are a patient, you have to put it on."

"Your Majesty." Jiang Jianming got up quickly, lowered his head and stepped back half a step, "There is a difference between rulers and ministers, it can't be like this."

"..."

Lin Ge just tilted his head to look at him: "You obviously don't like me? You're my son-in-law now, why are you being restrained?"

She stood up, went around, and wrapped the cloak around Jiang Jianming's thin shoulders.

At the same time, he said in a low voice: "No one wants to be a deserter. Everyone knows that the interstellar race war is either you die or I live. The point of our disagreement is whether the timing of the decisive battle is now or in the future."

Jiang Jianming pursed his lips and nodded thoughtfully.

In a long time, human beings have indeed been forced into a desperate situation by crystal particles.

The old human beings are extinct, the corpses are everywhere, the civilized society is destroyed, and people go crazy under the fear of crystal chaos, killing each other in the dark world. What a hopeless situation?

In the abyss of despair, they miraculously reached the present by relying on the struggles and sacrifices of generations, stepping on the backbone of their ancestors.

Not only continued the species, but also established a peaceful new empire and regained the glory of humanity.

"If it weren't for the sudden emergence of crystals from within the human race to teach these worm traitors," the Queen's face flashed a icy sullen look, "we can delay it a little longer, and when we have a better grasp, we will collectively attack the crystal nest, what? The bullshit plan of sacrificing half of the human race can also be discarded logically... But now the conflict has erupted, and a decision must be made."

"To be honest, Old Chen is also conflicted in his heart. Who doesn't want to give it a shot? But the survival of the entire human civilization is on his shoulders, and he needs to have enough reason and courage to bet on it."

Jiang Jianming nodded again, "Then His Majesty is looking for me..."

I just want to talk to you. Lin Ge looked at him with a smile, suppressing the sudden tumbling mood.

She said: "Zhen and Chen are the exact opposite. They say that they want to break the cauldron and sink the boat, but they don't have the bottom line. The Crown Princess is cautious and forbearing, and I want to hear your opinion."

The cold wind blew the moisture through the back garden of the palace, Jiang Jianming held down the cape that was flipped over his shoulders, and sighed that it was so.

These two people are not canvassing votes, but they each feel a heavy responsibility and an uncertain future. They are afraid that their choice is the wrong one, and that they are afraid that the empire will be led astray, so they hesitate to ask for confirmation.

Lin Ge curled the corners of his mouth, and there was some expectation in his expression: "Don't be shy, just chat casually... Tell me what you think."

Facing the question from the old man, Ryan gave a calm answer without hesitation: "Sacrificing is to buy time, and time is to wait for the opportunity to win with one blow... Now is the time."

Old Marshal Chen raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Why are you so sure? Why now, not ten years, fifty years, one hundred years?"

Ryan slowly pursed the corners of his lips, "Because now, we have a special existence. Once you miss it, you will regret it."

Jiang Jianming pondered silently, shook his head after six or seven seconds, and said, "Your Majesty forgive me."

The young disabled human has deep eyes and a calm tone, "In my humble opinion, there are still too many unknown variables, whether it is a strong man breaking his wrist or letting go, there are countless hopes and hidden dangers, and it is difficult to say what the future will hold. ."

"Yes." Lin Ge said with a wry smile, "If it is really predictable by human power, what are we to worry about. I am embarrassing you, right?"

Jiang Jianming's expression remained unchanged, and he continued: "I can't judge the right or wrong of the two plans... But I judge that the key point to decide the victory or defeat will be the will of our human beings as a whole."

"Major General Xie's Yin Beidou fleet has opened up a new route, the third generation of tranquilizers to block acute crystal chaos has also been developed by the base, and the Crystal Sect's raid on Star City has been repelled... From the point of view of technology, resources or military strength, we are not without one The power of battle."

"What matters is whether the human will rises or declines in the face of the fear of genocide."

"Is there confidence, is there faith, is there enough dazzling light to guide the front."

Old Marshal Chen: "What do you mean by special existence?"

Ryan: "You know."

Lin Ge: "Then, what will this guiding light be?"

Jiang Jianming: "Your Majesty knows better than me."

"Jiang Jianming's talents are the only ones I've seen in my life," the crown prince said affirmatively. "He suffers from crystal disorder, and he may not have much time. But he has only been in the army for less than a year, and he has already killed alien creatures and thieves. , pacified the civil strife, dealt with the pagans, and sat on the command seat of the starship."

"Let's not talk about military command ability. His vision, his thinking, his moral character... No matter which one is, it is amazing once in a lifetime."

Old Marshal Chen was silent, his eyes bright and dark.

Ryan took two steps forward. His boots first stepped on the stagnant water, and then stepped on the debris just after the explosion. "Give him some more chances, and he will lead mankind to invincible battles."

"And I can protect him on the battlefield, and only I can do it. If the empire is smart, it will know to cherish us."

"Invincible?" Old Marshal Chen shook his head, "Jing Nest is a place to be despised, please remember that you have already died once, Your Highness Le'an."

Ryan asked back: "In those days, did I go to die, or did I go to fight?"

Old Marshal Chen: "..."

Ryan: "If it's the latter, I'm still here now, not dead, and talking to you alive, which means that my battle is not lost."

"You don't lose, you win."

"And now, I have him."

When the platinum curly-haired prince said this, he looked very proud and complacent. Like a arrogant emperor, but also like a mighty young man.

But the next moment, he suddenly raised the corners of his eyes and smiled, "—By the way, speaking of which, you haven't counted the military merits of killing a treasonous felon and bishop of the Crystal Cult."

Old Marshal Chen: "?"

"However, at this rank now, it's really not easy to raise it. Well, give him a coin point."

"..."

"Your Majesty, you know that I didn't come from a very good background, and I sometimes encounter bumps along the way. I know with the deepest heart that sometimes I have to be patient and make compromises."

As the rain eased, Lin Ge and Jiang Jianming stood up while talking. The two left the palace and walked towards the gate.

Jiang Jianming held an umbrella and said with some melancholy: "The vast majority of people in this world, or almost everyone, will be more or less oppressed by the torrent of reality, and they will hide their edges and corners in front of reality."

"But Ryan is different."

"Last night, His Highness asked me why I was tempted by him, and I said it was because of his power."

Jiang Jianming's eyes softened: "It's true, he is stronger than any human being who died in this empire in the past, and he will be stronger than any human being born in this empire in the future... I'm not just talking about power. , not only to his somewhat terrifying ability to learn, but to his soul."

"He is unrestrained and has never failed. Even if he is setback, he does not consider it a failure. He has infinite pride and arrogance, and he is a person who can be uncompromising and fearless."

"I even feel that there will never be another person like this in the world. His Highness is still a little childish, but he has only been in the empire for less than a year. I can see his bright future." Lin Ge was helpless. He shook his black hair and laughed aloud, saying that Jiang Jianming was too fond of that little bastard, resulting in the filter being too thick.

Jiang Jianming didn't care, and still said in a warm and indifferent tone: "So, I choose to be loyal to my Highness. As long as it is the choice given by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, no matter the result... it will be my answer."

Lin Ge suddenly stunned in disgust, and continued to walk a few steps forward before saying, "Tomorrow night, I want to meet the guests of the Dominion, remember to bring your little Highness here too."

Jiang Jianming: "Yes, Your Majesty."

He suddenly thought of something, frowned and asked, "Is the Dominion also here to negotiate a strategy for crystal particles? Their predecessor was the long-established White Dove Chiye Society, and they should know a lot, don't they..."

Lin Ge laughed and said, "This secret is reserved for tomorrow's surprise show."

When His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess walked to the military headquarters, the rain finally stopped. A little bit of sunlight leaked from the clouds, shining on the sparkling water.

From a distance, both Lin Ge and Jiang Jianming saw the military entrance that was obviously after the explosion. The aircraft was damaged and overturned and it was miserable, and the high-tech rain barrier was gone. This thing cost tens of thousands of dollars to repair.

Jiang Jianming closed his eyes and gasped, unable to bear to look directly. Lin Ge glared with phoenix eyes, and opened his mouth again with a string of swear words that didn't fit his identity.

And the culprit, Prince Le'an, sat leaning on the high railing, facing Old Marshal Chen with a straight face.

Looking from this side, His Highness lifted his chin happily and said something with a smile. Suddenly, he turned his head in a conscious way, the wet blond hair shone against the water, and when he looked over, the light in his eyes made people dare not look at him.

Jiang Jianming's pace didn't change, but the heart in his chest was pounding with more force.

He thought to himself: This man, he looks really good in the rain.

The author has something to say:

On what the little Highness was thinking when his eyes were shining brightly when he looked back:

I gave him pocket money! he will be happy www
