When the emperor's reply letter reached Jiang Jianming, the latter was surprised that Lin Ge's attitude was so kind.

Lin Ge didn't even focus on the matter of reconciling with Yu Dao itself, and his attitude seemed to have the meaning of "I'm too lazy to care about you as you like".

Most of the content of the reply is about how cunning and cruel Yu Pirate is, repeatedly asking him to be careful-don't make a fool of yourself and lose yourself.

"..."

It was the afternoon of Alien Beta, and Jiang Jianming was sitting alone in his newly assigned office.He stared at the reply and fell into deep thought again.

Something seems wrong.He wondered if his "little lover"'s conjecture had entered a certain misunderstanding again, but unfortunately he had no clue.

With a creak, the door opened.

The sound of steady and orderly footsteps approached.

"Don't think about it. For a crazy woman like Lin Ge, it's useless to think hard about her mind."

Ryan walked in and put a cup of hot tea at his hand: "It's better to watch something promising, so you can be happier."

"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 to signal him to read it.

Jiang Jianming picked up the teacup, blew on the hot air and took a sip, while squinting at the piece of paper.

When he saw the words, he shook his fingers, and two drops of tea splashed on the back of his hand.

Paper documents are military internal secrets stamped with a red seal.It says that the military department has passed a resolution, and according to His Majesty's decree, the mental control system will be gradually implemented in the imperial military mechs from now on, making it a third control method besides manual control and crystal bone control.

The Silver Beidou Third Army, 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 him personally, 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 just received was sent to Jin Min. I'll bring it here for you to take a look."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not in a hurry, he leaned over and reached out, and wiped away the tea stains on the back of Jiang Jianming's hand with his thumb.

"Crystal bone manipulation has been practiced for decades. Under normal circumstances, a new operating system would not be implemented in such a short period of time. The rush now shows that the military has made up its mind and has truly entered a state of full preparation for war. 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 human beings to fight in the distant interstellar, but they can at least replace part of the military defense in the empire first, freeing up enough troops to rush to the far interstellar. Chen is not stupid, he will definitely tryof."

Ryan got closer, and he stared at Jiang Jianming's face seriously, with a deep and magnetic voice: "Look, I said, you will have what you want in the future. It's just a matter of time."

"..."

Jiang Jianming couldn't bear his overly direct and hot gaze, so he took a step back, but smiled at the corner of his lips.

He carefully picked up the paper document with both hands, read it again, and whispered sadly: "Yes, good things will happen in the future..."

Throughout the ages, the generals on the front line are most afraid of the capitulation faction in the rear.If the top and bottom are not in harmony, the battle cannot be fought.Even though the future is uncertain now, it is exciting enough for the empire to have such news.

Whether it is the victory of the racial resistance war or a brighter and freer future for mankind, we can all look forward to it.

"—But," Jiang Jianming changed his expression, and slapped the document on Ryan's chest, "It's still wrong to steal Lieutenant General Jin's document, please return it, Your Highness."

Ryan frowned: "Who said I stole it?"

Jiang Jianming was taken aback: "Didn't you steal it?"

Ryan: "Take it directly."

"..."

"It was stolen... Please return it, Your Highness."

Ryan laughed.He took Jiang Jianming's forearm and moved 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 subjects that become more protracted and dreamy.Therefore, when Jiang Jianming heard that General Jin Zhong was going to meet 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 sensitively noticed that the atmosphere was a bit unusual.

In the lieutenant general's office, besides Jin Min, there was a burly man standing.

The man appeared to be in his forties or fifties, with a short beard and solemn and sharp eyes.The skin of the palm saluting the door was rough and dark, and it looked like a battle-tested soldier.

Almost instantly, Jiang Jianming and Ryan met eyes like lightning, and then walked in as if nothing had happened.

"There's no need to be polite," Ryan nodded to Jin Min, "Let's talk about it. Who is this?"

"Your Highness."

Lieutenant General Jin also put down his saluting right hand, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, take the liberty of asking your Highnesses to move, because...there is one thing I want to discuss."

He pointed to the man beside him: "This is Alan Wilson. Although he is a rough man with a bad temper, but I swear by the silver Beidou military emblem, 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 reaction was flat, and he just hummed in response.Instead, 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 action demonstration videos are still compulsory textbooks in the Second Academy."

Wilson didn't seem to expect that the pale and frail princess would take the initiative to talk to him.After hesitating for a second, he bent over to Jiang Jianming and stroked his chest in salute.

"It's a great honor, I have also heard about the deeds of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess... I heard that you once assisted His Highness the Crown Prince in fighting as a mecha operator."

Wilson said with a straight face: "To be honest, I only thought it was a rumor at first. I really didn't expect that now even disabled humans can..."

"..."

Jiang Jianming smiled without speaking, and listened steadily.Ryan's eyes had already begun to become dangerous.

"Ahem!" Lieutenant General Jin coughed violently beside him, and kicked the legs of the desk with his boots.

Wilson was startled, and quickly bowed his head: "I made a slip of the tongue, the officer did not intend to offend Her Majesty the Crown Princess."

"It's just that the official thinks that the current physical condition of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is no longer suitable for manipulating mechas to fight—"

Jiang Jianming finally stopped laughing when he heard this.He secretly yelled badly in his heart, feeling that His Highness was going to be angry.

Sure enough, Ryan's face turned cold all of a sudden.

But Wilson didn't notice anything wrong, his face turned to the direction of the crown prince again, and his expression came alive again, no longer the perfunctory respect he had when facing Jiang Jianming.

He hammered in his heart, "Now that the battle is imminent, Wilson is willing to operate the mech for His Royal Highness!"

"If your highness has time today, please allow me to demonstrate it to you at the mech training ground..."

Ryan suddenly said, "Lieutenant General Jin."

"……yes."

A thin layer of sweat had already formed on Jin Min's forehead, and his expression was even more distressed.

He glared at Wilson from the corner of his eye, as if he wished to have the words "Damn screwed up" carved on his forehead for others to see.

The crown prince smiled without any warmth, "The lieutenant general may have misunderstood something. Mecha operator is 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.

"Rather than worrying about such things," he reached out to the dessert tray on the small coffee table, frowned and picked up a candy, "What about the Xie Fleet, what about the First Fortress...you can't think about these things?"

Jin Min: "This..."

"Your Highness!" Wilson was stunned. He had imagined 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 mechas at the age of four, and began to manipulate the mechs at the age of seven. No matter in any respect, I will never be inferior to this... Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess!"

"...Wilson!"

The pain on Jin Min's expression was even worse, wishing he could cover his face with his hands.

Anyone could tell that Wilson almost blurted out words like "this kind of young military cadet" or even "this kind of disabled human being who can't use crystal bone manipulation".

Jiang Jianming was very calm.Since he joined the army, he had to go through a "being questioned by everyone" link every time he went to a new place.

After coming to the second fortress, perhaps due to the change of his identity, this link has been greatly weakened.People should be contented and happy.

"Actually," he quietly tugged at His Highness's sleeve and whispered to Ryan, "Lieutenant General Jin's concerns are not unreasonable. There is nothing wrong with you and Your Excellency Wilson trying to cooperate."

Ryan pulled Jiang Jianming's hand off, and glared at him pretendingly: "Shut up."

Wilson was still in a hurry to fight, he turned to Leian 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-level."

"But His Highness must know that a senior officer of the military department proposed a proposal to redefine the mecha arms a few years ago. If the proposal can be implemented, I will be the strongest mecha soldier in the empire...!"

"..."

The crown prince narrowed his eyes slowly, with an unpredictable expression: "I do know."

Wilson's face turned red quickly, because he saw that His Highness lowered his head and bent his lips, which made him feel ashamed of being teased.

——Of course, in fact, Ryan was just holding back a smile.Jiang Jianming also knows.

His Highness just thought it was very interesting that this armored soldier named Wilson looked down on the Crown Princess while expressing his gratitude to the mysterious "Your Excellency" in his tone.

Chu Jun cleared his throat, and smiled silently, and then he managed to restrain his face, and regained his serious majesty.

"Well, Your Excellency has a heart."

"But I really don't need a mech manipulator. On the battlefield, the people around me often interfere more than they 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 operate the mecha for me in the future."

Ryan said quietly, then 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 didn't laugh out loud, nor got angry, and even patiently talked to Wilson for such a long paragraph to explain, which is already a great improvement.

Jiang Jianming was very pleasantly surprised, he didn't care about Lai An's intimacy with him like no one else, he took the candy in his mouth and gave His Highness a complimenting look, then chewed up the candy and ate it.

"Yes, yes." Jin Min felt as though he had received an amnesty, thinking that it was fortunate that His Highness was in a good mood today, so he didn't care about it.

The lieutenant general quickly turned to Wilson: "Your Highness has made up his mind, you go down first, and we will talk about this matter later."

But none of them expected that Wilson had a sudden seizure.

The middle-aged mecha soldier suddenly straightened his back, his face was red, "Your Highness! As the heir of the empire, your safety is a national matter..."

"How can it be handed over to a handicapped human being who will soon die!"

——When this sentence comes out, it's over.

The backs of Jiang Jianming and Jin Min's heads felt numb almost at the same time, knowing that something was going to happen.But before he had time to do anything, a red-gold afterimage flashed in front of his eyes.

"Uh!!"

Wilson let out a cry of pain. A grown man who was as strong as a cow was directly thrown out by the crystal bone, knocking over the small mahogany shelf in the office, and the porcelain on it shattered to the ground.

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness calm down—"

Ding dong... The pieces of broken porcelain spun around on the floor, and finally touched the table legs and stopped.

The atmosphere in the office dropped to freezing point.

The red-gold crystal bone was still in the void, forming 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, panting slightly, standing between Lai An and Wilson: "...Your Highness, don't do this."

The crown prince was still sitting on the sofa, his posture and expression remained unchanged.If one ignores the crystal bone protruding from his left shoulder, nothing seems to have happened.

"Jin Min," he said, "you go out first."

Lieutenant General Jin was tongue-tied, his back drenched in cold sweat.He was afraid that if he went out, he would only have to collect Wilson's body when he came back.

It was Jiang Jianming who shook his head slightly at him: "It's okay."

Jin Min breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried out in a muffled voice.

In the messy office, Wilson's face was pale, and he was moaning and trying to get up.

"Alan Wilson."

Lai An raised his chin, his green eyes were sharp: "How dare you say what you just said in front of me..."

"—to prove that Mr. Wilson is an outspoken man."

Jiang Jianming opened his mouth and cut off the words.

He looked at Lai An calmly, and slowly let go of his palm: "The monarch should not be angry because of the advice of his subordinates, let alone take action."

"Teach me again?"

Lai An said coldly, but put away the crystal bone: "You forgot one thing, now you are my spouse and his monarch."

"A subject who disrespects the monarch deserves what he deserves."

——Finally made him happy today.His Highness thought to himself gloomyly, he was still talking just now, good things will happen in the future... to come back so disappointed.

Jiang Jianming sighed: "I know His Highness has shown mercy, but you almost scared Lieutenant General Jin half his life just now...can you be more restrained?"

After that, he turned his gaze to the back.

Wilson straightened up unwillingly, sat down on the ground and couldn't get up.Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is going to show her kindness, he thought to himself.

"As for you."

However, to his surprise, Jiang Jianming didn't intend to help him up.

Even changed "you" to "you".

"If His Royal Highness's safety is for the sake of it, Chu Jun should not go to the front line in person."

Jiang Jianming raised his chin at Lai An, tilted his head and looked at Wilson: "Well, he won't be in the future, do you think it's okay?"
