Tales of Soldier - Chapter 28

[Chapter 28]

“The bastards in the military! They dare to take the credit of my Tang Long, no! I must expose them!” Tang Long, who jumped and cursed, ran out of the door angrily. However, when Tang Long came to the door and saw the dark environment outside, he couldn’t help but stop.

“What should I do, it’s so dark outside, and this is an underground mine. If I’m not careful, I will enter a passage like a maze. Besides, even if I go to the iron gate, I can’t open it!” Thinking of this, Tang Long began to Dejected, Tang Long shook his head: “Forget it, I don’t want to be a soldier anyway. If they want to take my credit, let them take it all.” Tang Long walked back.

Tang Long only took two steps, and suddenly raised his head and shouted: “Damn! They locked me in this place in order to take credit, absolutely to prevent me from going out and ruining their affairs, so my subordinates will not suffer the same. treatment?” Tang Long thought of this and ran to the robot’s room while yelling.

Now Tang Long knew that even if he didn’t want to be a soldier, he had to escape and uncover their conspiracy. Not only for the rest of his life not to be imprisoned here, but also for those subordinates to be free.

Tang Long rummaged through the pile of instruments, hoping to find an instrument that could illuminate. Although he was able to find the machine, there was no energy block, and it was impossible to connect with wires without this room!

Just when Tang Long was distressed, a metallic voice rang out: “What are you doing?” Tang Long couldn’t help but be overjoyed when he heard this voice, and jumped to the side of the robot. Before it got off the platform, he grabbed it. The robot’s hand said, “Take me to the iron gate, I want to go out!”

Of course, Tang Long’s power is impossible to pull up the robot. The robot allows Tang Long to grab his hand, and while taking off the thread on his body, he asks, “Go out? Why? Isn’t it fun here?”

Tang Long said anxiously: “It’s not a fun thing here, I have something important to do, take me to the gate!”

“What’s important?” The robot looked at Tang Long with red eyes, nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll take you there.” Then he walked out the door.

Tang Long happily followed two steps, but immediately went back to pick up the lighting equipment and a few wires he found. He followed behind and said, “Can I borrow some electricity from you?”

When the robot heard this, it stopped and asked strangely, “Borrow some electricity? How to borrow it?” Tang Long knew that the robot didn’t even know these things, so he explained it to him. After listening to it, the robot was very interested in connecting the wire that connected the lighting device to itself. Seeing that the lighting device was glowing, it couldn’t help but say happily, “So I still have this ability.”

Tang Long responded with a few words and urged the robot to leave the dispatching room. Only then did Tang Long see the appearance of this underground mine. The dispatching room was built in the wall in the corner of an empty cave. If you didn’t check carefully, you wouldn’t know that there was a door in this place. No wonder no one found it. There are seven or eight huge passages around the cave, and dense transportation monorails extend from the passages, surrounding the scheduling room.

In addition to seeing several rusty transport planes crooked at the entrance, Tang Long could not see the sign indicating the exit at all. If there was no robot to lead the way, even if he had lighting equipment, he would not be able to successfully find the way to the iron gate.

Taken into a passage by the robot, you can see the mineral fragments scattered around the passage, flashing turquoise with the lights. Tang Long saw this scene and went out in a hurry, but he couldn’t help but bend over to pick up a few pieces of minerals, and asked curiously, “What kind of mine is this?”

The robot said without looking back: “That’s SRA minerals, a necessary addition to the manufacture of spaceships and other space equipment.”

“This is SRA minerals!” Tang Long looked at the object in his hand in surprise. He did not expect that the medium that caused the world war was this inconspicuous object in his hand.

The body of the spacecraft that was not made of SRA minerals before could not withstand the pulling force of space jumping. However, at the end of the world war due to the competition for SRA minerals, a better and easier to obtain additive was discovered, which made SRA minerals begin to lose their former glory. This may also be the reason why this mine will be abandoned.

When Tang Long was about to throw away these ubiquitous minerals, the robot suddenly smiled and said, “I have studied these SRA mines when I was bored, you know? I found out that as long as I use a special method, I rely on the things in my head. These minerals will become another mineral.”

Tang Long, whose mind flew outside a long time ago, responded casually: “Oh, it will change, what will it become?”

“It will become a mineral that has never been seen before. I call it MMT mineral.” The robot turned back excitedly.

“Oh, what’s the use of this MMT mineral?” Tang Long replied absentmindedly.

“It can generate powerful energy. Last time I got one piece, so I didn’t have to sleep for a long time. Unfortunately, after that time, there was no material to make another piece.” The robot said this, and found that Tang Long was just oh oh He responded, but didn’t listen carefully at all, he turned his head away with a humming sound, and didn’t say anything.

Tang Long didn’t hear what the robot said at all, he just thought about how to run outside to expose the military and let his subordinates come out safe and sound. He did not know that the military prison holding his subordinates had been burned to ashes.

“It’s here.” The robot stopped after saying this. Tang Long had already seen the huge black iron door. After placing the illuminator, he carefully checked it. Of course, the result disappointed Tang Long. Like the safe, this door opened in one direction.

The robot, who was watching the excitement, saw Tang Long, who kicked the door out of anger, but hugged his foot and cried out in pain, and said, “It’s useless, this door is very thick and thick, if you want to go out Just dig up those concrete walls.”

Tang Long heard this and looked at the hard wall covered with moss and sighed, but his eyes lit up as if he suddenly remembered something, and immediately jumped up excitedly to grab the robot’s hand and shouted, “The excavator in the mine is here. where?”

Of course, the robot immediately understood what Tang Long wanted to do: “It’s in the depths of the mine, but even if it doesn’t rust, it doesn’t have the power to start.”

“No power…” Tang Longru poured cold water on his head, and without power, don’t think about anything. Suddenly Tang Long remembered what the robot said. It seemed to say something about huge energy, and he hurriedly asked: “Didn’t you just say that SRA mines can produce things with huge energy?”

The robot nodded: “Yes, I said that SRA ore can be turned into MMT ore after special refining.”

“Can this MMT mine start the excavator?” Tang Long asked nervously.

“Of course.” After the robot finished speaking, he immediately poured cold water on Tang Long: “But now there is no material to refine MMT.”

“How come there is no material? There are SRA mines everywhere.”

“Oh, do you think it’s enough to have minerals? Although I have refining equipment, the most important fresh water used to decompose minerals can’t be found in this place.”

“Freshwater?!” Tang Long jumped up excitedly and shouted, “I have a freshwater maker!” Then he took out the machine from his arms.

“Fresh water maker?” The robot picked up the slap-sized thing, looked at it and knew what was going on. It asked aloud, “How much water can this thing make? Too little is not enough.”

“One liter per hour, is it enough?” Tang Long said nervously.

“You mean you can make fresh water without stopping?” the robot asked excitedly.

“The machine is not broken, and if the energy is sufficient, this is theoretically the case. However, this model is of a fixed energy type, and it is possible to produce about 1 ton of fresh water when all the energy is used up.” Tang Long said uncertainly. Although he understands that if the machine can be used all the time, the production company will definitely go out of business, but now that he is in this environment, he begins to curse the company that made this model in order to maintain the sales rate.

The robot thought about it and said, “One ton… Well, it should be enough. Let’s go back and make MMT!”

Tang Long and the robot returned to the dispatching room with a large pile of SRA minerals. The robot put down the minerals and immediately got into the pile of instruments and turned things over, while Tang Long sat quietly against the pile of minerals.

Tang Long poured the soybean-sized object made by the edible mushroom maker into his mouth, chewing and thinking: “Oh, it seems that it will take some time to go out, but how can I rescue my subordinates after going out? Did he go to the TV station and say that I am the real hero? Either he was driven away as an idiot, or he was discovered by the guys in the military, and then he was chased and killed. And how did he escape from the prison? This thing will blow my head away!” Tang Long reluctantly touched the collar around his neck.

Tang Long suddenly asked: “I said, didn’t you find that the people who were locked in like me became like you? Do you know where they are? I want to visit them.”

With the clanging sound in the house, the robot’s words came: “It’s far from here, the nearest one is two or three kilometers away in the middle passage.”

“Uh, yes, have you seen them wearing the same collar as mine?” Tang Long hopes to study whether there is a chance to remove the collar, and he can’t see it on his neck, let alone research. , I can only find those dead prisoners outside to study.

“They used to have it, but after they became like me, the thing was taken by someone from outside.” The robot’s words continued to be accompanied by the sound of flipping things.

When Tang Long heard this, he could only sigh helplessly. It seemed that he could only find a way to solve this matter after he left the mine.

At this time, the robot came out with a lot of instruments, and started to fiddle without even looking at Tang Long. Tang Long, who was leaning against the mine pile, looked at the pile of things in surprise, and quickly turned into a huge strange-shaped machine in the hands of the robot.

After the robot finished the machine, it came to Tang Long and said angrily, “Okay, what are you doing sitting here? Help pour the minerals into the machine.” After saying that, he bent down and grabbed a few pieces of minerals and walked towards the machine.

“Oh, okay.” Tang Long heard the words and hurriedly helped. So Tang Long began to help refine MMT minerals in this dark underground. He didn’t know what kind of impact the freshwater maker and himself would have in the future by letting the robot produce MMT minerals in order to escape, and of course he didn’t know what changes had taken place outside. All he remembered now was to make the excavation maneuver so that he could escape.

“As long as I become an MP, I will definitely serve the public…”

“Please cast your precious vote, and I will kneel down for you, please.”

“Come here, a small gift is not a tribute. Please remember that it is Senator Lunte. Please vote for me then.”

“There is absolutely no problem. As long as you are elected next time, your salary will definitely be increased, and various tax rates will definitely be reduced. Please support Congressman Maas!”

Now all the TV stations in the entire Wanluo Federation have such images, and in the major cities of every planet, such people are standing on the floating cars and shouting all over the street. For no other reason, the general election of Wanluo Federation has begun.

The Wanluo Federation Presidential Campaign Office, President Namha, is closing his eyes and letting the makeup artist help him undress him.

Namha unpacked, took the coffee from the beautiful secretary, sat comfortably on the sofa, and took a sip. He was exhausted from running dozens of planets to canvass votes today.

At this time, the very young Secretary Zhang, his first secretary, came to Namha and said respectfully, “Sir, your approval rating is 32%, which is 6% higher than the second Chen Yu.”

Namha frowned and said, “Why does this Chen Yu get so much support?”

Secretary Zhang flipped through the information in his hand and nodded, “He not only has a good relationship with the consortiums in various places, but also has a good relationship with the military system, so he can get so much support all at once.”

Namha nodded and asked in a deep voice, “What about the candidates supported by the army?”

This time, Secretary Zhang didn’t read the information, and immediately said: “In the military system, apart from the marshal who supports you, other factions have other people who support you. Of course, these candidates are all running for Congress, not the president. This heroic event and the fixed votes of the soldiers and their families under the jurisdiction of each faction, so their support rate is very high, it can be said that they should be selected.”

Namha nodded satisfactorily when he heard this: “They are still acquainted, and they didn’t let the spokesperson run for president. You give me a close look at the source of Chen Yu’s campaign funds and find out his reasons. At the same time, it is also implied that he and I are united. If the election is successful, I will make him a vice president, or I will make him not even a congressman!”

“Yes.” Secretary Zhang nodded respectfully and stepped back.

Namha looked at Chen Yu’s approval rating displayed on the screen, and couldn’t help but sneer: “Hmph, if you don’t vote for my camp, you dangerous guy, I will definitely let you die without a place to die.” Said He took a hard sip of coffee.

In the office of the director of a private TV station in Wanluo Federation, a middle-aged man sat on an office chair and quietly looked at a computer card on the table. He has seen the contents of this card just now, and he also knows how shocking this news will bring to the public. But he was hesitant, because it was an anonymous letter, and the authenticity of the news was not sure. If it was ordinary news, even if he knew that he was fake, he would broadcast it without hesitation for the sake of ratings. But just because there are many big people involved, if it broadcasts by itself, it is very likely that the entire station will go bankrupt.

Just when the middle-aged man was undecided, a fat middle-aged man rushed in. The middle-aged man didn’t need to look to know that it was his brother-in-law, the deputy director of the radio station.

“Brother-in-law, watch TV!” The fat middle-aged man said, without waiting for the director to speak, he came to the desk at a speed that did not match his body, and quickly pressed the button on the table.

Seeing the film and television images appearing on the wall beside the desk, the TV station frowned and said, “Which station is this from, and it actually broadcasts war movies at this time?”

The fat middle-aged man hurriedly said: “Brother-in-law, this is the Imperial TV station of the Silver Eagle Empire. Now it is not a war movie but a documentary about the last border war!”

“The documentary of the last border war? Why let me watch this…” Before the director could finish his words, he was dumbfounded by the next image.

The director saw a handsome young man in the uniform of a federal second lieutenant appearing on the screen. He waved his hand indifferently and commanded: “All battleships obey the order and start charging their main guns. The firing coordinates are s34x234z12y45! The main guns are fired!” The second lieutenant’s order, the image on the screen turned into a scene of the universe, from a visual point of view, it can be seen that this was shot from a self-propelled gunship. Nearly a thousand rays of light from the self-propelled gunship could be seen hitting the imperial battleship in the distance.

The deputy director of course knew that such a scene was the last heroic incident. The video of our army defeating the enemy was broadcast across the country, but that handsome second lieutenant was not that Don Tres! How is this going? He asked his brother-in-law in surprise, “Brother-in-law, who is this second lieutenant? Why did he order the attack?”

The director did not answer his brother-in-law’s question, but looked at the computer card on the table and whispered, “It really is.” He raised his head and asked, “Who told you that the Empire would broadcast this news?”

The deputy director shook his head and said, “It’s news circulating within the industry that Imperial TV will broadcast important news. But it’s not clear who said it.”

Hearing this, the headmaster frowned, but he didn’t speak, and looked up at the image that continued to be displayed on the screen.

Three images of the federal second lieutenant and two blond young men in imperial generals’ uniforms appeared on the screen, and then the two imperial major generals saluted in turn and said, “I am the commander of the Third Fleet of the Imperial Guard of the Imperial Guard of the Silver Eagle Empire— Rear Admiral Kester. I am Rear Admiral Darrens, Commander of the Fourth Fleet of the Imperial Guard of the Silver Eagle Empire.”

After the two major generals reported their names, the federal second lieutenant also saluted: “I am the captain of Wanluo Federation self-propelled gunboat No. 521 – Lieutenant Tang Long.” Hearing this, the deputy commander was stunned. After a while, he jumped up and shouted, “He’s Tang Long?!” He wasn’t an idiot. After hearing Tang Long announce his name, he immediately figured out the reason, and hurriedly said to his brother-in-law, “Brother-in-law. , this is big news!”

When the director nodded and was about to say something, the image of the battleship chasing battle that continued to be displayed on the screen disappeared, and then the image of one of the two major generals appeared, and he said blankly: “I was the last border Major General Kester, one of the commanders of the Imperial Army in the conflict. I believe everyone now knows that the war hero proclaimed by the Wanluo Federation not long ago is someone else.”

Kester said with an inexplicable expression of grief and indignation: “My colleagues and I couldn’t believe our eyes and ears when we saw the news about the heroes of the Commonwealth after returning to China. We never imagined that in the so-called democratic Commonwealth, Some high-ranking officials of the Federation will deprive their subordinates of the merits, and even more shamelessly send others to impersonate and occupy the merits. Although this belongs to the internal affairs of the Wanluo Federation, it is not something that foreigners like me and my colleagues can discuss. The identity and honor of soldiers make us unable to remain silent. Soldiers in the entire universe cannot tolerate such shameless and vulgar soldiers! As soldiers, we strongly demand to find real heroes and severely punish those soldiers who have no sense of military honor. !”

Immediately after Kester’s flamboyant performance, the Empire’s commentators came out and began ranting about corruption at the top of the Wanluo federal army. At the same time, the spokesperson of Wanluo Federation also jumped out to deny the incident, and scolded the empire for bad intentions.

The federal private TV station that originally broadcasted the election news immediately broadcasted the news of the empire 24/7. In an instant, the election of Wanluo Federation suddenly stopped, and everyone was discussing the truth of the news. And that Don Tres angrily made remarks on public television, saying that the Empire dared to tell such absurd lies in order to disrupt federal politics. He and the fallen federal soldiers and their families would not forgive such people. . Then a so-called expert from the Federation came out and said that the image just now was processed by the Empire through special effects, and it was completely fake.

The station director learned that it was only a matter of time before the federal press was in chaos, and he couldn’t help but walk around the office. His brother-in-law doesn’t understand what his brother-in-law is doing walking around, and he doesn’t understand why his brother-in-law doesn’t allow the radio station to participate in these reports. Anyway, even if the news is fake, he can make an information fee by adding it in. Why miss such an opportunity Woolen cloth?

The station director stopped abruptly, grabbed the card on the table and turned around and said fiercely, “Call me all the TV stations I know, and buy me all the TV stations for 5 minutes in the same time slot at any cost.”

“Ah? All TV stations are at the same time for 5 minutes? Brother-in-law’s money is astronomical.” Brother-in-law said in surprise.

“Even if you borrow usury, you have to buy that time, go!” the headmaster shouted through gritted teeth. Seeing that his brother-in-law was about to run out in shock, he hurriedly stopped him and said, “The five minutes I bought, It’s all used to display this text.” He picked up the pen and wrote a few words and handed it to my brother-in-law. The deputy director originally heard that he spent so much money playing a single text, and he couldn’t help but feel strange and prepared to ask, but after seeing the After a paragraph of text, he immediately glanced at the computer card on his brother-in-law’s desk with light.

“By the way, at the same time inform me those super consortiums and tell them that if they want to advertise, they must contact me in the morning, otherwise they won’t even be left for 1 second of advertising time! Hurry up and do things.” When my brother-in-law was still at the door, he immediately waved his hand and said.

“Okay, I’ll do it now!” The deputy director finally knew that his brother-in-law had information that could make a lot of money, so he jumped up and ran out of the house.

The station director, who was alone in the room, looked at the card in his hand and smiled proudly: “It seems that the status of Federal First Television Station will soon be in my pocket.”

Wanluo Federation Capital Star, General Muenres’ mansion, no one moved around in the large mansion, only the living room on the first floor was lit. This mansion is Muenreis’ residence in the capital, and the real mansion is in the galaxy under his jurisdiction.

There were slaps in the silent night sky, and then an angry voice sounded from the living room: “You rebel! You do everything by yourself, now let’s see if something happened, you want to piss me off, don’t you? Entering the living room, you can see Muenreis in civilian clothes angrily pointing at a slightly fat boy who was covering his face with one hand, looking aggrieved and cursing.

“Dad, it’s just a rumor spread by the empire. No one in the country will believe it.” Dan Tres said aggrieved.

“Hmph, fortunately, this is the news from the enemy country, and there is no evidence other than those images. Otherwise, you and I will be in bad luck! Remember that you have to bite to death. This is a stunt that the enemy country used to damage the reputation of the Federation. The effect, remember to let your brothers hold on, don’t go outside, especially drinking outside, otherwise everyone will be finished together!” Muenres walked to the sofa and sat down and picked up the glass.

Dan Tres saw this busy and clever step forward to pour the wine. Seeing his son trembling with fear, Muenres took the wine glass, patted his son’s shoulder and said, “You don’t have to worry so much, as a father, I had long expected such a thing to happen, so I put those who knew the secret early in the morning. People have solved it. Now even if there are people who doubt it and can’t find any evidence, you can rest assured and prepare to be a colonel. ”

When Dan Tres heard this, a surprised smile appeared on his face: “Colonel?! Thank you Dad!”

Muenres also showed a smile: “Stinky boy, what’s so good about a little colonel.” After drinking a sip of wine, he said with a serious expression: “The capital is not our territory, so don’t mess around during this time. Come on, the dragons and snakes are mixed here, and it can be suppressed no better than doing anything on our territory.”

Dan Tres hurriedly smiled and said: “How can I mess around.”

“Hmph, don’t think that I don’t know what your stinky brats usually do secretly, the female soldiers in the army are easy to deal with, and those women outside are less likely to touch, especially here, even the female soldiers of the army should not be touched. Because there is one older than your Laozi, and there are three equals, who knows if they will meet their women.”

“Dad, after you become the first brother, I can…hehe.” Dan Tres said with a smile.

“Hmph, even if Lao Tzu is the first brother, you can’t mess around. Do you want to betray your family? Son, now you have to learn how to use means and know how to pay equal attention to favor and power, otherwise how will you control my army in the future? Muenres took a sip of wine, looked at his son who didn’t know why, and said, “You also know that although the army looks like it is under the unified control of the federal government, for various reasons, the army is actually controlled by the federal government.” In the hands of various factions formed by consortiums, officials, and officers, since the people who control the force are more important, officers are generally the leaders of the factions.”

Dan Tres nodded and smiled: “I know this, you are the leader of the Reis faction. I also know that although there are many factions in the entire federal army, there are only three major factions, that is, our faction. The Sect faction, the Jeter faction headed by General Mujiet, and the Junlong faction headed by General Zhang Junlong.”

“If you don’t even know this, then don’t mix in the army. Tell me about the forces of each faction.” Muenres said without even looking at his son.

“Uh… let me talk about the Reis faction first.” Dan Tres hesitated and said: “The Reis faction, the main sphere of influence is in the south, where you are stationed. The sphere of influence is 3 galaxies, with a population of 600 billion, more than 100,000 warships of various types, and about 200 million soldiers.”

“The sphere of influence of the Jeter faction is mainly around the station of General Mujiet in the west. There are 2 galaxies, with a population of about 400 billion, more than 50,000 warships, and about 100 million soldiers. The military dragon faction headed by General Zhang Junlong is in the north. The most powerful faction among the three factions controls 4 galaxies, with a population of 900 billion, 150,000 battleships, and 300 million soldiers. The remaining factions control 2 galaxies in the east. These two galaxies are located in the east. In the heart of the Federation, with a population of one trillion, 200,000 warships and 400 million soldiers, if these factions unite, the title of the first faction of the Federation will be theirs.”

Speaking of which, Don Tres carefully looked at Muenres and asked, “Dad, I think it’s very strange, it stands to reason that the biggest faction should be the Marshal His Excellency, who controls the military budget, but I haven’t heard of him having anything special. His close subordinates, that is, General Cammucci, who he single-handedly raised, went to form a private faction, and he ignored it. What did Your Excellency Marshal think?”

“You can think of this level, it’s quite commendable. Although it is well known in the government and the public that I would argue with him, the military budget on my side has never been in short supply. But he has never offered me a favor. I really don’t understand. .” Muenres sighed.

“Uh, so your Excellency the Marshal is a decent soldier?” Dan Tres asked strangely.

“Humph, a regular soldier? Son, in this federation, a regular soldier cannot be promoted, let alone the highest position in the army – a marshal. He is not a simple person, nor is he a simple person. Maybe he doesn’t have his own faction. I suspect that the faction of the marshal that he hides is so powerful that we can’t believe it. Because he has never been caught for so many years, which is very incredible. And the only way is to go up The second president asked him to order the destruction of the civil aviation aircraft, but I suspect that this trick will be used by him instead.”

“So your Excellency the Marshal is not a very dangerous person? Then why are you fighting against him everywhere?” Dan Tres asked casually as he felt the communication watch on his wrist vibrate.

Muenres drank the wine and said with a smile: “You don’t understand this. I’m testing him and letting him reveal his true colors. In order to get his seat, how can I not know his details. It’s a pity. I haven’t been able to find anything for a while.”

Seeing that his son was only looking at the screen of the watch communicator, Muenres couldn’t help shaking his head, grabbed the bottle and poured himself a glass of wine and said, “These things you deceive me, you will learn them slowly in the future. Turn on the TV and see what’s the news.”

“Oh.” Dantres absently grabbed the remote control and pressed the button, and an image was displayed on the wall in front. Don Tres put down the remote control, looked at the information on the watch again and said, “Dad, I’m going out to get some air.”

“Hmph, it’s your guys looking for you again, isn’t it? Remember what I said just now, don’t get anyone you can’t touch.” Of course Muenres knew what activities his son and those guys usually had at their parties.

“No, no, they all know this, and they will never mess it up.” Dantres heard his father’s agreement and couldn’t help but say with joy. My old friends are all eye-catching people, how can I touch those women who I can’t afford to offend. The information came that it was a few schoolgirls I met in the ballroom. There was no background behind it. It seemed that tonight was a happy night.

When Dan Tres was about to leave, he heard the sound of the wine glass falling to the ground. Looking back, he found his father staring blankly at the screen on the wall. He couldn’t help looking at it curiously, and this sight made him stunned.
