Standard Terra Calendar, 967.M41
Maelstrom Area, Sagan System, Sagan Prime
Qingpeng Manor is Vaughan Hive The most prestigious family garden in the upper class is the most private territory of the Vaughn family. However, after the arrival of the expeditionary force, Earl Vaughn generously dedicated it to the expeditionary force. As the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, Soshyan, in this critical world temporary residence and residence.
This manor covers an area of dozens of hectares, with carefully trimmed trees or beautiful flower beds. A decorative river runs through the manor, and the water flowing in it is privately piped from a pollution-free underground thousands of miles away. The river is collected and natural water, and the river is full of sparkling fish. There are more than a dozen artistic bridges of different styles built on the river. It is said that each one is made by a master. Standing on the bridge can be described as picturesque.
Walking around the estate, statues and memorial stones abound, from ancient pillars with modest inscriptions to ornately decorated modern sculptural portraits of figures in uniform, riding horses or brandishing swords as if commanding a charge.
It uses an artificial and exaggerated natural beauty to break the oppression caused by the glittering decorations towering around the hive city spiers and the industrial chimneys of the hive city. This is a place full of vitality, a nest. The echo of nature, which has nowhere to hide in the city, is also a dreamy place that countless people in the hive city cannot get a glimpse of throughout their lives.
At this time, in the rising sun, a giant in silver-gray robes and a one-armed old man in a political commissar's coat were walking on a forest path, between tree trunks and stone monuments. Passing through the space, the chirping of various alien birds could be heard from time to time on the treetops.
“I feel wronged, Commissar Yarick.”
“It’s nothing, and those people didn’t dare to do anything to me. They just sat two people in a room. hours.”
When passing by an artificial lake, Soshyan stopped for a moment, looked at a few white waterfowl playing in the clear lake, and suddenly sighed.
“It’s been really hard on you during this time. You have to do so many things at such an old age. If the people of Armageddon knew how I treated their heroes, I wonder if they would scold me behind their backs. It's an exploiter."
"Haha, the commander is joking."
A smile appeared on Yarick's wrinkled face, and he took a deep breath without any pollutants. After being in the fresh air of being able to be sold as a commodity in the hive city, he said:
"I don't even think that I am old. Once a person serves old age, it means that he is not too far away from death. If You agree, I also want to go to the front line to directly command the troops to fight the enemy.”
Hearing this, Soshiyang also grinned.
"Yes, no matter what time, you are still the warrior who stands unyielding in Hades."
"Oh, if it really comes to the end of my life, I only hope that I can die On the battlefield, not in the hospital bed.”
After a moment of silence, Soshiyang said slowly:
“There are some things that I didn’t want you to worry about, but in the recent maelstrom of war zones. There are varying degrees of energy shortages, famine, and riots. Yarick, you are in charge of recruit training and troop dispatch. I want to hear your opinion."
"Well"
After Yarick pondered for a moment, he said softly:
"I have also seen some reports about those things. Many recruits are not even recruited, but voluntarily join the army, because joining the army There is at least one ration bar to eat. To tell a joke, in places where supplies are scarce, the quality of soldiers will be higher. However, there are often delays and shortages of supplies and equipment required for training. For this reason, the training time has to be changed from Three months was shortened to two months. Correspondingly, the death rate of recruits in the first month increased from the initial 31.56% to 42.11%, and it continued to rise. Moreover, due to the forward movement of the battle line, the transport fleet was under attack. Attacks by scattered pirate groups have become more frequent, and the loss of transport ships has become increasingly unacceptable. This has further led to difficulties in transporting personnel and materials, and many recruits were lost before they even went to the battlefield." The old political commissar paused.
“As for the situation of famine and riots. When Hades fought with the green skins, everyone was pushed to the limit, suffering from physical pain, spiritual sorrow, and facing death. Fear and maddening hunger engulfed us all the time, but in the end we persevered.”
"Why?"
Arik raised a finger.
“It’s simple, if people eat a ration bar, then I eat half a bar, if people sleep for four hours, then I sleep for two hours, if people are injured and only have painkillers, then I They didn't even take medicine and only used bandages. The people of Hades were not without their anger at that time, but everyone knew what war was like. The people of the empire were the most tenacious, tenacious, most righteous, and richest in sacrifice and dedication. Mentally, maybe enduring hardship does not mean being inferior to others? When they have nothing, but some people enjoy more, how can they not be angry or complain? But when the people who lead them are willing to set an example and enjoy less, everyone can share the joys and sorrows. No matter how difficult the moment is, you can get through it.”
After listening, Soshiyang was speechless for a long time, and the two just looked at the lake quietly——
A few minutes later, thousands of words came out. The words just turned into a sigh.
"If every hive administrator could do this, the Empire would have invaded the Eye of Terror and dragged Abaddon out to show the public. These matters can only be resolved slowly. During this period, Sagan How is the situation?”
“The envoy has been communicating with officials from various departments of the empire and the nobles of the nest. There are even nobles from other planets and galaxies who come here to meet him. The chaos for a period of time cannot be separated from him. As far as I know, he not only lifted the jurisdictional ban, but also implemented precise tithes, restored the regular tithes of the empire, and transferred the Ministry of Justice fleet originally used to investigate smuggling. Performing other unknown tasks, and adding a large number of non-expeditionary force recruits to the Expeditionary Force Logistics Station Directorate, making smuggling more rampant, a large amount of military supplies flowing into the black market, and many worlds are bearing war tax, which is the precision tithe. At that time, you still need to bear the regular tithe of the empire."
Soshiyang nodded thoughtfully.
"I see, I called you here so early, haven't you had breakfast yet?"
"Uh, ah, no need to bother, no need to bother, I can just eat some military rations. ”
"Ha, what else do we need to be polite to each other? Come on."
Soon, the two came to a building called Shouyan Pavilion. This building covers an area of 3,000 square meters and the main part is It is a concrete, tile and stone structure, and the attached part is a pure glass structure, with a huge ornate bronze and stained glass mosaic window vault, red tiles interspersed with white banded granite walls, based on the 36th millennium of the Human Empire. The pop art style is the keynote, adding the beauty of baroque elements, which is particularly eye-catching among the huge lawns and flower beds.
After entering the main entrance, you are directly on the red carpet in the center of the hall. The spiral pillars extend to the ceiling. On both sides are luminous statues of nobles wearing uniforms and brocade. At the end is a dark brown wooden staircase, window frames, Most of the decorations, such as door frames, sand-colored walls, and crystal chandeliers, maintain the classical style of the time when it was built. Oil paintings, sculptures, and glass mosaic windows reveal a mysterious and solemn atmosphere with a sense of age, especially the large stained glass in the center of the dome. The mosaic windows, when the morning sunlight shines through the colorful patterns, make the house as mysterious and solemn as a church.
The two came to a huge dining table with a white table top. Vero was wearing a light blue one-piece dress, a white knitted blouse, and her hair tied high in a bun behind her head. Nika was already waiting there, and the maids were putting breakfast on the table one by one.
