III. [Heroes and Clowns]
When Young returned to his dormitory at 24 Silverbridge Street, Heinesen's standard time was twenty o'clock. The dwellings in this area are mostly single people or small families, belonging to the residential area of senior officers, surrounded by the green leaves of nature.
The construction equipment in this area is not yet new and luxurious, although the green space is vast, but due to insufficient funding, new buildings and alterations are still rare.
Yang walked slowly, through this common public turf, opened the door equipped with identification devices, the door opened with a creaking sound, as if welcoming the owner of the No. 6 dormitory in Building B home, Yang thought to himself, if he had repaired this door out of his own pocket, it would have been repaired long ago, but at that time he asked the manager to deal with it, and there is still no following.
"You're back, Brigadier General." Teenager Julian Minz stepped forward. "I'm wondering if you're not coming back at night!" I also cooked your favorite Irish lamb stew! ”
"So I'm right to come back empty-stomached!" But why do you think I might not go home? ”
"Major General Cargillon just came to the phone." The boy answered as he took his military flat hat. "He said you guy ran away holding hands with a big beauty before the farewell ceremony was over."
"This guy..."
Yang stood in the hallway and smiled bitterly.
Julian Minz is Young's ward, similar to his adopted son, and is fourteen years old. His height is commensurate with his age, he has flax-colored hair, brown eyes, and clear eyebrows, and Kajelon, they all call him "Yang's child".
Julian became Young's ward two years ago under the Special Act on Wartime Welfare for Children of Soldiers. The name of the person who enacted this bill was Torbas, so this bill is also commonly known as the "Torbas Act".
The state of war between the Free Planetary Alliance and the Galactic Empire has lasted for a century and a half, many people have died and been disabled by the war, and the "Torbas Law" is a decree that came into being to relieve these orphans who have lost their loved ones and ensure human resources.
These orphans were raised by military families, the government loaned them a certain amount of parenting fees, and the orphans attended general schools until the age of fifteen, and after the age of fifteen they chose the school they wanted to attend. However, if you choose to enter a military-related school such as an officer's school or a technical school, the correctional fee borrowed from the government does not have to be returned.
In addition, while women could not contribute to military operations, they were welcome to join the ranks of supply, manager, transport, communications, control, intelligence processing and facilities management.
"This method is mainly based on the apprenticeship system since the Middle Ages, but it has the disadvantage that the parenting fee often affects the direction of the orphans' choice of future." At that time, Kajellon, who worked in the logistics headquarters, said this sarcastically to Yang. "But then again, life is alive, and if you don't have any goals, living is tasteless. Since this adoption system has its existential value, I think you may as well adopt a child as well! ”
"But I haven't married yet!"
"It is precisely because of this that we should fulfill some social obligations!" It's just a matter of paying some parenting fees! Well? Celibate nobles. ”
"I know, but I still like to live alone."
"Two people's life is not bad!"
"One person is enough."
"Really? But I'm going to find someone for you. ”
On the fifth day after the conversation, the young Julian appeared at the door of Yang's house.
Julian has since entered this house, and in order to become a diligent and talented member of the Yang family, Yurian has specially shelved the useless waste and machinery in the family. He decided to take care of all the physical environment of the family. In less than a few days, the home had been organized by him.
"I've put together six household computer materials." Julian, who was only twelve years old at the time, stood motionless and reported to his master. "The first category, family management, the second category, electrical operation, the third category, security, the fourth category, the collection of news, the fifth category, family learning, the sixth category, entertainment." Daily records include: 1 the use of cold and warm rooms, sweepers and washing machines, 2 anti-theft, fire prevention facilities maintenance, 3 news weather and shopping intelligence collection, 4... Colonel, please remember. ”
Julian (Willy Young's adopted son)
At that time, Yang Willy was a colonel. He silently went to the sofa in the bedroom and dining room and sat down, and was surprised to find the peels, debris, cups, can boxes that were all around the sofa... It's all gone. I thought to myself what to say to this smirking little invader.
"I have cleaned the room, the bed and bedding have been washed, the house has been straightened out, if there is anything you are not satisfied with, please say it." What else do you need? ”
"Would it be nice to give me a cup of black tea?"
Yang wanted to drink a cup of his favorite black tea, moisten his throat, and tell him about the sweetness of the day, but when the teenager ran into the kitchen, brought a set of new and beautiful tea sets, and handed over a cup of tea from Xilongxing, Yang's hands could not help but shake a little.
As soon as he took a sip of tea, his heart was immediately conquered by the teenager. Because the taste of this tea is so mellow! Julian's father was a captain in the Space Fleet, and although he was of low rank, he taught his son the knowledge of the tea ceremony and the method of making tea.
After half a month in The Julian Juvenile Family Run, Kajren came to visit his house, and Kajren looked around and commented, "I've been to your house many times, and I've found it to be the cleanest time your house has ever been." It seems that the phrase 'the Father is incompetent and the Son is talented' is true. ”
Yang did not refute what he said.
※ ※ ※
It's been two years now. Julian's height has also risen by more than ten centimeters, and he is a real big boy. Homework seems to be good, never failing, and occasionally taking some medals and awards and other things home. According to Kaziren, Julian should be considered "blue out of blue".
"Today the school asked me about my decision after next year."
Julian said as he ate, and Yang Willy's hand with the spoon stopped in mid-air and stared at him.
"Won't you graduate next June?"
"If you have repaired credits, you can graduate six months early according to the regulations."
"Is it?" Yang felt that he was an irresponsible guardian.
"You want to be a soldier, don't you?"
"Hmm! I am the son of a soldier! ”
"Whoever said that a son must inherit his father's profession, my father is not a soldier, he is a businessman."
Yang told him that it would not hurt if he wanted to choose other industries. He suddenly remembered that little Will, whom he had met in Space Harbor today, had come.
"However, if I don't choose to join the army, I will have to pay back the correctional fee..."
"I'll pay it back."
"Huh?"
"You're so underestimating me, I still have a deposit." Besides, you don't have to graduate early, isn't it good to have a few more days? ”
The teenager's cheeks seemed to glow red.
"You came to my house and didn't cause me any more trouble!"
"Thank you very much, but..." Julian looked at Willy Yang suspiciously. I've heard you hate soldiers, but..."
"I'm very annoying."
Such a clear answer puzzled Yurian.
"Then why do you want to be a soldier?"
"That's because, of course, I don't have the ability and I don't know what to do."
Yang finished eating and wiped his mouth with a tissue, and Julian packed up the dishes, put it in the dishwasher, turned on the power, and let the computer operate the dishwasher. Then he served the tea set and began to make black tea.
"Alas! Think more about it and make a decision! There is no benefit in rushing to decide. ”
"Yes, I'll think about it again. Brigadier General, the news has reported that Count Royankram entered the army at the age of fifteen, right? ”
"Probably!"
"You know what? He's a beautiful man! ”
Yang Willy had never seen Reinhard von Royankram in person, but had only seen it a few times on laser stereoscopic television, and he was the most handsome young man Yang had ever seen. The female soldiers in the logistics headquarters often said that he was more popular than the officers in the alliance.
"What about adding milk to tea?" Or brandy? ”
"Brandy..."
At this moment, the red light of the anti-theft device suddenly went out and the alarm bell sounded. Julian picked up the TV remote control and pressed it, and the TV that used infrared light to display the image immediately appeared many figures. They all wore white turbans, leaving only their eyes exposed.
"Julian."
"Yes."
"Have there been such clowns doing home visits lately?"
"They are the Knights of sorrow."
"Never heard of this circus."
"They are radical nationalist groups that have recently gained traction for their shouts of overthrowing anti-state and anti-war rhetoric. But strangely enough, I wonder why they visited the family, was it to receive the appreciation of the Brigadier General? ”
"How many of them are there?"
Yang asked without interest, and Julian read the numbers on the screen and said, "Forty-two people in total, moving towards the courtyard, ah! It was forty-three, no, forty-four. ”
"Brigadier General Yang!"
The shouting through the microphone was exceptionally loud, and the walls with special glass vibrated slightly.
"Yes, yes."
Yang responded, but could not be heard outside the house.
"We are true patriots, we are the Knights of Sorrow. We're going to impeach you! You were complacent about your achievements and publicly opposed the War of Unification, remember your actions in the farewell ceremony today! ”
Yang sensed that Julian was being surprised.
"Brigadier General Yang, you have insulted the Divine Consolation Assembly. When the participants responded enthusiastically to the Defense Commissioner and vowed to overthrow the Empire, you were the only one who refused to stand up and mocked the determination of the people. We're going to impeach you for that attitude! If there is any claim, you say it! If it doesn't work to try to call the police, we'll destroy your external connection system. ”
Yang understood that behind the Knights of Sorrow, there was a good chance that it was manipulated by the "patriot of the world" Trionisit. They all have one thing in common, which is that the volume is extremely loud, shameless, and the content of the speech is extremely hypocritical.
"Brigadier General, are you really behaving like this today?" Julian asked him.
"Hmm! Oh, yes! ”
"Why? Isn't it an obvious mockery to have only one person standing up? Even if you are against it in your heart, there is nothing to lose to you when you stand up and clap your hands! That's all there is to pretend in front of others! ”
"Your tone of voice is very similar to that of Major General Kajellum!"
"Don't say that this kind of truth is Major General Kajellon, even children understand it!"
“...... Why not come out? Do you still have shame? Come to enlightenment! Today you have to explain it honestly in front of us! ”
There were people shouting outside again. Yang Willy stood up in anger, and Julian tugged at his sleeve.
"Brigadier General, no matter what, you can't use force!"
"Your reaction is also too fast!" Can't I make things clear with these guys? ”
"Neither is it!"
“……”
At this point, the special glass pane rattled and seemed to crack. Immediately after, a metal sphere the size of a watermelon flew in. Crashing into the closet, the ceramics in the cabinet were smashed in an instant. Suddenly, a loud noise sounded.
"Be careful! Get down! ”
Yang shouted.
Yurian took the family computer and hid under the couch in an emergency. After a while, the metal ball exploded. Suddenly, there was a loud rumble in the house, and all the furniture and equipment were destroyed, and no one was spared.
Yang Weili froze, and the grenade thrown by the Knights of the Worried Kingdom turned out to be a non-gunpowder small-scale household explosive bomb used by the sappers.
They seem to have minimized the destructive force, otherwise the whole house would have been reduced to rubble long ago. But why do civil society groups like them possess such military weapons?
Yang seemed to think of something, clapped his hands, and asked, "Julian, where is the switch of the water sprayer?" ”
"On the 4th button of the 2nd A, you want to deal with them?"
"They don't know how to count, so we'll use..."
The domineering sound outside the house suddenly turned into a wailing sound, and it turned out that these guys wrapped in white cloth had been overwhelmed by the high-pressure water column and ran around.
"Uncle is angry, let you taste the sweetness!" You rogues! ”
Just as Yang scolded them, the sound of police cars gradually sounded from afar. Maybe it was the neighbors who called the police!
In fact, the riots have occurred for so long, and the security authorities have only arrived late, which seems to make people feel that someone is behind the Knights of Worry. This man is probably Trionisit.
The Knights of sorrow had long since fled. But the belated police officers kept praising how patriotic they were, which made Yang quite unhappy.
"If they are really patriotic, why don't they join the volunteer army, but instead break into people's homes in the middle of the night and harass people's homes with children?" Is this called patriotism? Also, if they are acting in a righteous and bright manner, why they wrap their faces and dare not see people, there is no reason at all! ”
Just as Yang was fighting back against them, Julian had turned off the water spray switch and began cleaning the messy room.
"I'll help you!"
As Young chased away the poor cops, Julian immediately shook his hand.
"No, it's a way to get in the way!" Just sit at the table over there. "Sitting at the table?" You..."
"I'll clean it right away."
"What am I doing sitting at the table?"
"Hmm! Drink my black tea! ”
Yang Mouth muttered, walked to the table and sat cross-legged on it, saw Yurian was collecting the pieces of pottery, and couldn't help but sigh: That pottery is a Chinese Ming Dynasty Wanli red painting! That's the only real thing my father left me!
At twenty-two o'clock, Kajren called the video, and By this time Julian had already cleaned the house.
"Oh boy! Is your guardian at home? ”
"Over there."
Julian pointed to the table, where the owner of the Yang family was sitting cross-legged, leisurely drinking black tea. It took Cargillum about five seconds to observe it carefully, and then said slowly, "Do you have the habit of sitting at a table at home?" ”
"It depends on the day of the week!"
Yang sat down at the table and answered, and Kajren smiled bitterly.
"Okay! If you have an urgent matter now, go to the United Front Headquarters immediately! The car will pick you up right away! ”
"Go now?"
"This is a direct order from Minister Sytrecht."
Yang forcefully placed the teacup on the table.
Julian froze for a moment, then immediately ran to get Yang's uniform.
"What's the matter with the minister looking for me?"
"He only told me that there was something important to say, and everything would be said at the Combat Headquarters."
The phone was hung up. Yang crossed his arms, as if thinking of something, and Julian had already delivered his military uniform with both hands. While I was wearing it, the car that picked me up had arrived. Yang really couldn't figure it out: what was so urgent! Do you have to be called in the middle of the night?
"I'm afraid it's late when I come back, so go to bed first!"
"Yes, Brigadier General." Julian replied insincerely.
"Julian, tonight's incident may only frighten us, but it is difficult to say how the enemy will deal with it in the future." The days are getting less and less peaceful! ”
Yang himself did not know why he said this at this time. Julian kept looking at him with both eyes.
"Brigadier General, I have just said a lot of nonsense, please don't take it to heart. As long as you walk right, I believe you are the most upright person. ”
Yang looked at the teenager, wanted to say something but couldn't say anything, and finally only gently touched his hair, and then turned and walked to the car. Julian watched the car leave until the headlights disappeared in the darkness, and he stood motionless.
