Chapter 1506 And Me
"Aunt Virginia, my feelings for Claire are serious and serious. Please rest assured that I will love her more than I love myself." He felt that if he did not communicate in English but in Chinese, It is absolutely impossible for him to say the above words fluently in the environment of the era before he traveled.
At this time, apart from the promise, how else could he answer? Ignore Virginia's complaints? Or should I patiently tell the other party about my experience in the Tianchao star area, and prove that I am not a "sentimental" guy with facts, and I really can't help myself in the arena?
Virginia stared at his face for a long time before she nodded and said, "Well... I believe you on this one, Claire has told you what you did before."
Ten thousand muddy horses floated in Tang Fang's mind. Although this description is a bit disrespectful, it cannot be denied that it can perfectly describe his current mood.
She obviously learned from Claire what kind of actual actions she had taken, but she still wanted to make some points in front of herself... No, it should be said to beat her to save some face for Claire. This is similar to telling him "Your daughter-in-law has someone in her family, don't try to bully her."
Of course, what Virginia did made him speechless and helpless, and it was undeniable that she had a good heart. I think it took a lot of effort to understand Chinese culture before I made the very oriental behavior in front of me.
"Hehe...Aunt Virginia, you contacted me this time just to tell me to treat Claire well."
"Of course not." Virginia looked down at the PDA screen and said, "The meeting place has been changed to 6.3 light-years away from the Livia star system, and the time has also been postponed by three weeks. Well, I will send the coordinates to you."
"Postponed for three weeks? What's the problem?" He had clearly planned the schedule, but he never thought that Virginia would suddenly tell him that the meeting would be postponed for three weeks, which would undoubtedly disrupt Miss Emma's arrangements.
"Bill Carter and Chris Gard have a little situation. They sent a telegram yesterday saying that they might be a few days late."
"Small situation? Serious? If you need help, just ask."
"Don't worry too much. It is said that the Imperial Navy is frequently mobilized. Bill Carter and Chris Gard decided to avoid the dangerous area out of prudence. There is no doubt that this will take some time."
Hearing what she said, Tang Fang didn't say much. He thought that the meeting would be postponed for three weeks. Anyway, he still had a lot of troublesome things to deal with, such as how to deal with the experimental subjects received from the Omega space station, such as How to tell Miss Fei Wenli the cruel reality... and about Nova.
"Well, since you said so." He nodded and said nothing more.
At this moment, light and shadow flashed on the big screen, and a bearded man squeezed into the lens...
"Virginia, I see you scare him... Be careful that he will detour when he sees you in the future." It was Marion who spoke, and he was still on the channel where Virginia helped Claire beat Tang Fang just now.
After saying this, ignoring the slight displeasure on Virginia's face, Marion turned his head and looked at Tang Fang: "Don't be afraid, she is a guy who is strong from the outside but does nothing in the middle, and the previous words are just trying to bluff you."
Well, Tang Fang has learned what it means to cheat teammates with strength today. This was him at the scene, and he recognized Marion's face. If it were someone else, they would never believe that the unruly beard in front of him was the Garcia who kept Kercliff Stewart awake at night. Old Marion, the spiritual leader of the Rebel Army --- Marion Duncan.
"Old guy, didn't I tell you in advance not to interrupt my conversation with him casually?"
These two guys who tear each other down are really a perfect match. Tang Fang complained in his heart, and he smiled like a spring breeze to the two people in front of him, quietly watching them act like monsters... This is the best countermeasure for adhering to neutrality.
Marion turned a deaf ear to Virginia's yelling, and suddenly raised his hand behind him: "Look what this is?"
Tang Fang heard the words and looked around, only to see a wine bottle standing in the center of the screen, with a white body,
Red streamer, bright flying sky logo, and capitalized MOUTAI.
"Mao...tai? Maotai wine?!" He said with a speechless expression, "Where did you get it?"
Since the earth was deserted, many once famous enterprises and cultural heritages have disappeared in the long river of history. Like some wineries in China, the old cellars and base wine are basically destroyed. Even though many enterprises have worked hard to survive and rebuild their former glory in the past two hundred years, they cannot withstand the erosion of the years after all, and a large part of enterprises with historical heritage have disappeared under the trend of the times.
Even if a well-known wine company such as Moutai survives tenaciously, its products are very different from those in the period of earth civilization, and it is difficult to restore the original taste.
I really don't know where Marion got this kind of thing. Judging from the production date of the seal, it is clearly the years before the earth was abandoned. Well, if it is true... then it is really a bottle of old wine worth tens of thousands of gold.
Although he doesn't drink much, he also knows the name of Moutai. It can be said that he is the king of national wine in the era before.
Marion was a heavy drinker, and he knew that from Croatan. It's just that the guy joked that he must treat him well during this meeting, but now he really brought out enough old wine.
"I'm not afraid to tell you..." The bearded man leaned closer to the camera and said, "I emptied Prince Walker's wine cellar. I found a bottle of white and a bottle of green. I drank the green one and kept the white one for you... The cyan bottle tastes great, um, and the picture of the chicken on the outer packaging is also pretty good."
Prince Walker, Tang Fang is no stranger to Prince Walker. At the beginning, he, Aros, and Howson came out of planet 5 and were recruited into the Thunder Fleet to participate in the Nami Star Battle. The Thunder Fleet was armed under Prince Walker, and later returned to Mega In the Seoul star system, Tester led the Kaleidoscope fleet to encircle and suppress him, and was beaten to death by the Ypsilon relay station. When the war broke out between the Mongya Empire, the Sulu Empire and the Star Alliance, Tester made him fight hard again. With one kick in the ass, the Kaleidoscope fleet was nearly wiped out.
"Chicken? Chinese zodiac Moutai?" Tang Fang pointed to Marion and said, "What a prodigal son, that's for collection."
Marion couldn't understand what he said: "Isn't wine just for drinking? Collection? Is it a collection bottle? I don't think its appearance is so attractive."
"Uh." Tang Fang didn't know how to refute him. Speaking of which, doesn't wine exist just to drink it?
"You actually used the Lyra-class special service ship I gave you to steal alcohol." He changed his point of complaint.
The Lyra-class special service ship is a special special service ship forged by Morningstar developed by Iger Stetman and Rory Swan on the basis of the warships used by the deep diver fleet and integrated with the science and technology of StarCraft humans. High mobility and stealth, suitable for infiltration operations behind enemy lines, intelligence collection, front-line reconnaissance and other tasks.
The new deep diver fleet, which is well known to people in the Hillenbel region, is specially modified from the Lyra-class special service ship.
The first batch of Lyra-class special service ships went to the Phoenix Empire after leaving the factory, and he gave the second batch of Lyra-class special service ships to Marion Duncan after leaving the factory to help the Garcia rebels fight against the navy of the Monya Empire.
What he didn't expect was that the old guy would use this fleet to rob Prince Walker's wine cellar.
Marion didn't care about his complaints, and said with a laugh: "Do as you please, do as you please..."
What else can he say now? Meeting such a guy who makes people laugh and cry... I can only choose to accept it.
"You can't drink this bottle gluttonously, you must keep it well."
Marion laughed and said, "Don't worry, even if I bite off my tongue greedily, I will never touch the gift I prepared for you."
Tang Fang shook his head not to look at him, looked at Virginia and said, "It's been so hard for you for so many years..."
"Who says it's not..." On this point, she very much agrees with Captain Tang's point of view.
After saying this, Virginia said goodbye to him, and then went to press the stop button. During this process, Tang Fang heard Marion proudly say, "A bottle of Moutai in exchange for a fleet, I am really a business genius."
He kneaded his forehead with his hands, and was extremely speechless about the leader of the rebel army. No wonder those who knew Marion well said of him with smiles on their faces. With such a character in front of outsiders, who would believe that he is the famous Marion Duncan.
But if you look at it from another angle, it may be because of his approachability, laughter and scolding, as well as optimism and cheerfulness, which condensed the hearts of the people like an inextinguishable fire and inspired the will, allowing the Garcia rebels to survive in the darkness where the dawn is almost invisible. Moving forward, and sticking to it until today.
This is the unique personality charm of the bearded man, which has a very special appeal. The soul of the Garcia Rebels, the spiritual leader of the Garcia Rebels, he deserves such an adjective.
Speaking of which, the two people have different personalities, but they have one thing in common. Marion Duncan had by his side an able female assistant, Virginia, and he had by his side an able female assistant, Kylenia.
Virginia was always upset about Marion Duncan's unreliability, and Kylenia was always complaining about his lack of family.
"Commander, you left me behind." At this moment, the voice in his head startled him, and after he looked carefully, he found that Miss Emma, who was sorting out the information obtained by the Zizai Tian system, was looking at him with serious eyes. As if it was a matter of life and death.
"Emma, people will scare people to death." He protested loudly.
"Commander, I'm not human." She explained seriously. Even though she has stepped out of the system space and obtained the body of an Ipsi dragon, she still has not established the cognition of "I am a human being", and still stays at the stage of "I am an artificial intelligence".
"Ok, ok, ok, you're not human...you're a robot." He was helpless and depressed about it. Because Miss Emma showed signs of moving closer to Kyrenia, the eighth woman who cared about everything.
Emma agrees with his definition very much. There is a radiance circulating between her hands. It is not the energy from her body, but the electromagnetic waves radiated by various wireless devices on the bridge. It can also be said to be various data, but now it has become the palm of her hand. The energy circulation is reflected in the light blue pupils.
This is the special ability bestowed upon her by the body of the Epsilon...With this ability, she can respond to changes in the external environment more freely and control various parameters of the Minotaur-class battlecruiser.
In other words, today's Miss Emma can be described as the strongest ship officer in history, just like EDI is to JOKER in Mass Effect, just like Cortana is to Master Chief in Halo.
Of course, his personality is far from that of JOKER, and it is difficult to overlap with the personality of the Master Chief.
At this moment, Howson and Churchill looked at each other, and whispered: "What did he just say? Is Miss Ypsilon a robot?"
Churchill didn't complain, he used the word "Miss Sister", and said with a smirk: "Our Captain Tang's taste is getting more and more tricky."
"Isn't that... I'm used to eating vegetables and tofu, but life is only a matter of trying to have a belly full of fat, isn't it?" Howson said: "Don't forget that there is a big star in the cabin."
Before he finished speaking, an electronic pen hit his head and fell to the ground again, and then Tang Fang shouted angrily: "Damn it, don't think I don't know what you are talking about."
Howson rubbed the place where he was hit by the electronic pen, with a sad expression on his face: "Then how are you going to punish me? Are you dressing me as a woman?"
Tang Fang was speechless, nothing to say, ever since the battle outside Phoenix City opened up a new world for Hao Sen, this guy's thick-skinned skills have become more and more profound, and he has become more and more speechless.
………………
Captain Tang was hesitating whether to use this time to go back to the Tianchao star area to find Abathur to deal with the spirit body from the Zizai system, a situation occurred in the Phoenix Empire that caused an uproar in the entire Hillenbel region.
Marlo Smith's plan to promote the Equality Act encountered great resistance, and middle-level officials adopted soft resistance to orders from decision-makers, and shelved the issued documents... This is still a better situation. Those who gained huge wealth and power by exploiting and enslaving Morris slaves continue to use pretenders to stir up troubles, creating confrontations between Morris slaves and civilians in the field of rights, forming new class antagonisms, and bringing a new class to the Phoenix Empire that has just ended the civil war. Go to the thick haze.
This situation is very embarrassing. If it is high-level resistance, Marlo Smith can directly attack them. If it is grass-roots resistance, at worst, deal with a batch of them severely, and they can be replaced by progressives, or even the best of Morris Nouri... ...After all, not every Morris slave is extremely stupid. People like Bai Yue can always find some if they carefully select.
However, it is precisely this kind of middle-level officials who do not go up or down, but they hold real power in their hands. There is no way to replace them drastically, which will bring about systemic political turmoil, and there is no way to firmly control them. Under the hood, so that they dare not make small moves.
