Chapter 165 Reunion with Wind and Snow (1)
When the emperor's reply reached Jiang Jianming, the latter was surprised that Lin Ge's attitude would be so kind.
Lin Ge didn't even focus on the matter of negotiating with Yu Pirates itself, and his attitude seemed to have the meaning of "I'm too lazy to care about what you like."
Most of the content of the reply was about how cunning and cruel Yu Thief was, and repeatedly told him to be careful - don't overturn the car and pay yourself in.
"..."
At this time, it was the afternoon of Beta Alien, and Jiang Jianming was sitting alone in his newly assigned office. He stared at the reply, lost in thought again.
Something seems wrong. He doubted whether his "little lover"'s guess had entered a certain misunderstanding of thinking again, but unfortunately he had no clue.
With a creak, the door opened.
The steady and orderly footsteps approached.
"Don't think about it. For a crazy woman like Lin Ge, it's no use trying to guess her mind."
Ryan walked in and put a cup of hot tea in his hand: "It's better to watch something to look forward to, you can still be happy."
"Your Highness."
Jiang Jianming raised his head, just in time to see Ryan put another document on the table, pushed it in front of him, and tapped it to show him.
Jiang Jianming picked up the teacup and blew the hot air and took a sip, while squinting at the piece of paper.
When he saw the words, his fingers flicked, and two drops of tea splashed on the back of his hand.
Paper documents are secret military secrets stamped with a red seal. It is written above that the military department has passed a resolution and has been ordered by His Majesty the Emperor to gradually implement the mental manipulation system in the imperial military mecha from now on, making it a third manipulation method in addition to manual manipulation and crystal bone manipulation.
The third army of Yin Beidou, stationed in the third fortress of Omega Alien, will take the lead in arranging the update of the mecha system, which will be the first batch of pilots.
If all goes well, the second fortress will be able to use the new control system as soon as next month. At that time, the person in charge will come to guide in person, and the imperial military headquarters will order the second fortress to make relevant preparations.
"This is……!"
Jiang Jianming hurriedly put down the teacup, "When did it happen?"
"The order I just received was sent to Jin Min. I'll bring it here so you can take a look."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not in a hurry. He leaned over and stretched out his hand, and wiped off the tea stain on the back of Jiang Jianming's hand with his thumb.
"Crystal bone manipulation has been implemented for decades. Under normal circumstances, a new operating system would not be implemented in such a short period of time. Now that it is so rushed, it shows that the military is determined and has truly entered a state of full-scale preparation. According to this posture... The next step is likely to be crystalless humans joining the army, perhaps starting with the new mecha units you mentioned."
"It's hard to say whether the three generations of tranquilizers can support ordinary crystalless humans to fight in the distant stars, but they can at least replace some of the military defenses in the empire first, freeing up enough troops to help the distant stars. Chen is not stupid, he will definitely try. of."
Lean leaned closer, he stared at Jiang Jianming's face seriously, and his voice was low and magnetic: "Look, I said, what you want will be available in the future. It's just a matter of sooner or later."
"..."
Jiang Jianming couldn't stand his overly direct and burning gaze, so he took a step back, but the corner of his lips smiled.
He picked up the paper document carefully with both hands, read it again, and said softly, "Yeah, good things will happen in the future..."
Throughout the ages, the front-line generals were most afraid of the capitulating factions in the rear. If the top and bottom are not aligned, the battle cannot be fought. Even though the future is uncertain, it is exciting enough to hear such news from the Empire.
Whether it is the victory of the racial war of resistance, or a brighter and free future for mankind, we can all look forward to it.
"—But," Jiang Jianming took his expression away and patted the document on Laian's chest, "It's still wrong to steal Lieutenant General Jin's document, please return it, Your Highness."
Ryan frowned: "Who said I stole?"
Jiang Jianming was taken aback: "Didn't you steal?"
Ryan: "Take it directly."
"..."
"Is that what you robbed... Please return it, Your Highness."
Ryan laughed. He took advantage of the situation to hold Jiang Jianming's forearm and walked to his side, "You come too, Jin Min is looking for us."
...
Now that the temporary expulsion of the lava pirates has been completed, the next problem facing the second fortress is to receive the return of the expedition fleet and the recapture of the first fortress.
These two things are topics that are more and more protracted. Therefore, when Jiang Jianming heard that General Jin was going to see him and Ryan at the same time, he naturally thought that he wanted to discuss these matters.
However, as soon as he knocked on the automatic door, Jiang Jianming was sensitively aware that the atmosphere was somewhat unusual.
In the lieutenant general's office, besides Jin Min, there was a burly man standing.
The man looked forty or fifty years old, with a short beard, and his eyes were solemn and sharp. The palms that saluted at the door were rough and black, and at first glance they looked like battle-hardened soldiers.
Almost instantly, Jiang Jianming and Ryan met lightning-fast glances, and then walked in as if nothing had happened.
"You don't need to be polite," Ryan nodded to Jin Min, "Let's talk about it. Who is this?"
"Your two highnesses."
Lieutenant General Jin also put down his saluting right hand, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Xiaoguan took the liberty to ask the two Highnesses to move away, yes... there is something I want to discuss."
He pointed to the man beside him: "This is Alan Wilson, although he is a rough guy with a bad temper, but the officer swears by the military emblem of Yin Beidou, he is the best machine I know in the second fortress. A manipulator."
Wilson looked a little excited: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Ryan's response was flat, but he responded with a hum. On the contrary, Jiang Jianming's heart moved, and he stepped forward and said, "I heard about your Excellency when I was studying in the military academy."
He nodded slightly to Wilson, "Your five sets of mecha basic movement demonstration videos are still required textbooks for the Second Academy."
Wilson didn't seem to expect that the pale and weak princess would take the initiative to talk to him. After hesitating for a second, he still bowed to Jiang Jianming and saluted his chest.
"It's a great honor, the lower official has also heard of the deeds of His Royal Highness the Crown Princess... I heard that you once assisted His Royal Highness as a mecha manipulator in battle."
Wilson said with a stern face: "To be honest, Xiaguan only thought it was a rumor at first. I really didn't expect that now even disabled humans can..."
"..."
Jiang Jianming smiled without saying a word, and listened steadily. Ryan's eyes had begun to turn dangerous.
"Cough cough!" Lieutenant General Jin coughed violently next to him, kicking the legs of the desk with his boots.
Wilson was startled, and quickly lowered his head: "Slip of the word, Xiaguan has no intention of offending Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."
"It's just that the lower official believes that with the current physical condition of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, it is no longer suitable to control the mecha to fight in person—"
Jiang Jianming finally stopped laughing when he heard this. He secretly screamed badly in his heart, feeling that His Highness was going to be angry.
Sure enough, Ryan's face suddenly turned cold.
But Wilson didn't notice anything wrong, his face turned in the direction of the crown prince again, his expression was fresh and alive, no longer the perfunctory respect when facing Jiang Jianming.
He hammered in his heart, "Now that the battle is imminent, Wilson is willing to control the mecha for His Royal Highness!"
"If Your Highness has time today, please allow the officer to demonstrate to you at the mecha training ground..."
Ryan suddenly said, "Lieutenant General Jin."
"……Yes."
Jin Min's forehead has long been covered with a thin layer of sweat, and his expression is even more distressed.
He glared at Wilson from the corner of his eye, as if he wished to have the words "Fuck it up" engraved on his forehead for people to see.
The crown prince smiled warmly, "The lieutenant general may have misunderstood something. Mecha manipulators are not necessary for me."
After all, Ryan hooked Jiang Jianming's arm naturally, and took the latter to sit down on the only sofa in the room.
"Instead of worrying about this kind of thing," he reached out to the snack tray on the small coffee table, frowned and picked up a candy, "What about Xie Fleet, what about the first fortress... Can't you think about it?"
Kim Min: "This..."
"His Royal Highness!" Wilson was stunned. It wasn't that he didn't imagine that he might be rejected, but what he didn't expect was that His Highness didn't even bother to try his skills.
He said eagerly, "I was born in a military family since I was a child. I learned the theoretical knowledge of mecha since I was four years old, and I started to control the body at the age of seven. No matter what it is, I will never be inferior to this... The Crown Princess!"
"...Wilson!"
The pain in Jin Min's expression was even worse, and he wished he could cover his face with his hands.
Anyone could hear that what Wilson almost blurted out at first was definitely something like "this young military cadet" or even "this crippled human being who can't use crystal bone manipulation".
Jiang Jianming was very calm. Since joining the army, he has had to go through the "questioned by everyone" link every time he goes to a new place.
After arriving at the second fortress, perhaps due to the fact that his identity has changed, this link has been greatly weakened. People have to be content.
"Actually," he quietly tugged at His Royal Highness's sleeve and bit his ear with Ryan, "Lieutenant General Jin's concerns are not unreasonable. It's okay for you and Lord Wilson to try to cooperate."
Ryan pulled Jiang Jianming's hand down and stared at him fiercely: "Shut up."
Wilson was still eager to fight, he turned to Ryan in two steps: "His Royal Highness, the reason why I have been staying in the second fortress is because my crystal bone is only B grade."
"But His Royal Highness must know that there was a proposal from a military lord a few years ago to redefine the division of mecha arms. If the proposal can be implemented, I will be the strongest mecha soldier in the empire...!"
"..."
The crown prince slowly narrowed his eyes, with an unfathomable expression: "I do know."
Wilson's face quickly flushed, because he saw that His Highness lowered his head and bent the corner of his lips, which made him feel a kind of humiliation to be played.
- Of course, in fact Ryan was just holding back his laughter. Jiang Jianming also knew.
His Royal Highness just thought it was really interesting that this mecha soldier named Wilson looked down on the Crown Princess while expressing gratitude to the mysterious "Your Excellency" in his tone.
The prince cleared his throat and smiled silently again. Only then did he successfully restrain his face and regain some serious majesty.
"Well, you have a heart."
"But I really don't need a mecha manipulator. On the battlefield, people around me tend to interfere more than assist me..."
Ryan slowly peeled off the candy wrapper in his hand and stuffed it into Jiang Jianming's mouth, "He is an exception."
"So, if Colonel Jiang can't control the mecha for me in the future."
Lean said quietly, and glanced at Lieutenant General Jin who was standing beside him in a dilemma, "I'm just returning to my previous state."
——In a sense, His Highness, he didn’t laugh out loud, didn’t get angry, and even patiently explained to Wilson for such a long paragraph, which is already a great improvement.
Jiang Jianming was very pleasantly surprised. He didn't care about Ryan's intimacy with him without anyone else. He first gave His Highness a compliment with the candy in his mouth, and then chewed the candy and ate it.
"Yes, yes." Jin Min felt like being granted amnesty, thinking that it is fortunate that His Highness is in a good mood today and doesn't care.
The lieutenant general hurriedly turned to Wilson: "Your Highness has made up his mind, you go down first, and we will talk about this later."
But few people did not expect that Wilson had a sudden attack.
The middle-aged mecha soldier straightened his back suddenly, his face red, "His Royal Highness! As the emperor of the empire, your safety is a matter of national importance..."
"How can it be handed over to a crippled human being who will die soon!"
- This sentence comes out, it's over.
Jiang Jianming and Jin Min felt numb at the back of their heads almost at the same time, knowing that something was going to happen. But before he could do anything, a red-gold afterimage flashed before his eyes.
"Uh!!"
Wilson cried out in pain. An adult man as sturdy as a cow was directly ejected by the crystal bone, knocking over the mahogany shelf in the office, and the china on it was shattered.
"Your Highness!"
"Your Highness, calm down—"
Ding-dong... The broken pieces of porcelain spun around on the floor, and finally stopped when they hit the foot of the table.
The atmosphere in the office dropped to freezing point.
The red-gold crystal bone was still in the void, in a whip-shaped arc that was thrown away, but the tip was tightly grasped by a palm wearing a black glove.
Jiang Jianming had already stood up, he gasped slightly, and stopped between Ryan and Wilson: "...Your Highness, don't do this."
The crown prince was still sitting on the sofa, his posture and expression had not changed. Nothing seems to have happened if you ignore the crystal bone protruding from his left shoulder.
"Kim Min," he said, "you go out first."
Lieutenant General Jin was tongue-tied, cold sweat soaking his back. He was afraid that when he went out, he would only have to collect Wilson's body when he came back.
It was Jiang Jianming who gently shook his head at him: "It's okay."
Jin Min breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went out in a muffled voice.
In the messy office, Wilson's face was pale, and he was groaning and trying to get up.
"Alan Wilson."
Ryan raised his chin, his green eyes were sharp: "You dare to say something like this in front of me..."
"—to prove that Lord Wilson is an outspoken man."
Jiang Jianming opened his mouth and cut off the words.
He looked at Ryan calmly, and slowly released his palm: "The monarch should not be angry at the remonstrance of his ministers, let alone make a move."
"Teach me again?"
Ryan said coldly, but put away the crystal bone: "You forgot one thing, now you are my spouse and his monarch."
"My servants are disrespectful to the monarch, and they deserve their sins."
——It’s hard to make him feel happy today. His Highness thought gloomily, he was still talking just now, good things will happen in the future... to return in such a disappointment.
Jiang Jianming sighed: "I know His Highness has shown mercy, but you almost scared Lieutenant General Jin away half your life... Can't you be more restrained?"
Having said that, he turned his gaze behind him.
Wilson stood up reluctantly and sat down on the ground unable to get up. The Crown Princess is about to show mercy, he thought to himself.
"As for you."
Surprisingly, Jiang Jianming didn't mean to help him up.
Even changed "you" to "you".
"If it is for the safety of His Highness, the prince should not go to the front in person."
Jiang Jianming raised his chin at Ryan, and tilted his head to look at Wilson: "Well, he won't go on in the future, do you think it's okay?"
