[Shuanglong Group] Warm and Cold

"People of the empire, I think it's time for us to stand up."

"The Federation has repeatedly launched sneak attacks on us. Even if it violates the so-called "2098 Agreement", we have to stand up. Now that the people of our country are in danger of dying at any time, why do we live on our own land? To tolerate being trampled like this?"

"We also have life, we are life, and we also have dignity. The glory of the empire is sacred and inviolable. We should not allow the Federation to ride on us under the banner of freedom and democracy!"

"Why should I say this? Heh... The empire has been under too much pressure, and now I stand up as the victim's family. My sentinel just died on Franval's defensive line. I can understand clearly. Feeling his last consciousness—he is resentful! Resentful for why we didn't stand up earlier and defend our country!"

"The attempted kidnapping of the nobleman, the arson of the Marshal's Palace, the bombing of the paper factory, and the bombing of the Flanvale, why are we willing to endure such insults! I don't think it is a violation of international regulations to declare war on this, but it is After being oppressed and humiliated, we justifiably resisted!"

"I love my Sentinel. My link is still hurting, he is gone and will never come back! War is not the result we want, but the twists and turns we have to face! Why can't I protect Good my sentinel? Because we are weak! Why is our motherland being invaded? Because we are weak! Why can't we stand up and fight back and tell them our head is iron, our heart is steel, and our body is inviolable! "

"Stand up, in order to protect the country, protect our most important people, protect ourselves!"

"I am a member of the White Tower Guidance Department, but I would like to speak as a guide who has lost my sentinel. I beg you to be strong and fight back the prisoners who violated the great rivers and mountains of our motherland! Empire, I am not afraid of you, you dare to answer ?"

The cherry blossom demon was dressed in pale mourning clothes, standing on the high platform of the People's Square in the imperial capital.

There were tears in her eyes, but her words were so absolute.

She endured the pain in her whole body from losing the sentinel just now, and the pain of her soul being disintegrated by the forceful rupture of the link, and stood in this place that attracted the most attention from the whole country.

"My sentinel died to protect the empire. I need an answer from the empire!"

"Tell me, my sentinel didn't die in vain, he made a contribution to the empire, and the empire will avenge him!"

Her mental huskies were dead, and she couldn't even hide herself. She lay dying on the sidelines, but she still stood firm, even though her legs were trembling, even though her voice was hoarse, even though she was surrounded by crowds in the square. Suffering from the sympathetic gazes cast on her, she still stood, not stopping until she got a reply.

The TV station rebroadcasted her speech in real time, and there was an uproar on the Internet immediately. The TAG of "Stand Up and Resist" was brushed to the top of the list, and the fighting spirit of the people was immediately aroused.

Yimulian and Huang rushed to the square together, the Peach Blossom Demon threw himself into his arms with tears in his eyes.

She didn't cry so badly even on the day when the Sakura Demon was united. She couldn't bring herself to help her clear her consciousness cloud, so Yimulian had to help her.

The two of them had learned of the empire's decision to go to war beforehand, and they were deeply moved when they heard Sakura Demon's words.

—How much courage must it take to make such a shy guide girl stand here?

The Empire was quick to respond.In order to gain the reputation of the people all over the world, the Federation gradually took over the regimes of various countries under the banner of democracy and freedom. This tyrant trick worked, and other countries across the sea were kept in the dark. They always thought that the empire would provoke it first. war.The empire really wanted to declare war a long time ago, but it was just waiting for a justified opportunity.

And now the time has come.

Imperial princess Kaguya Hime blushed, and stood timidly in front of the camera—there was nothing like a young princess declaring war to suppress the public opinion deliberately created by the Federation.She memorized the manuscript by heart, and announced to the camera with sincerity: "Miss Sakura Demon, I am deeply saddened by your incident... May your condolences be changed. Your sentinel was honorably sacrificed for the glory of the empire." , we will remember everything about him.”

The light flickered in her eyes, and she was a little flustered. She tightly held the seal that symbolized the supremacy of the empire in her hand, and tremblingly stamped the seal on the letter of war: "The empire... officially declares war on the Federation!"

All this was broadcasted in real time on the big screen in People's Square. The cherry blossom demon passed out crying and crying. The Baita medical staff who were waiting for rescue at any time in the audience rushed up to catch her.

The Peach Blossom Demon came out of Yimulian's arms, and Yimulian couldn't see her expression clearly, only heard her nodding repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you..." After speaking, she ran towards the ambulance.

He suddenly had mixed feelings.

"Don't think about it, it's better to think about how to make the enemy pay a greater price than mourning."

Huang just glanced at Peach Blossom Demon's back and got into the car, as if everything that happened had nothing to do with him.He took out an old-fashioned tape recorder from under the car seat, regardless of whether Yimulian wanted to watch it for a while, plugged in his headphones, and was not interested in the outside world.

Yimulian couldn't help laughing—how could Marshal Huang be so calm on the surface, he had seen that tape before, it was a white noise tape specially used by sentries to adjust their emotions.He was obviously by the guide's side, but he didn't let the guide calm down his emotions, so he chose to use this ancient method...

Obviously also very melancholy.

As the ambulance left, the crowd in the square gradually dispersed, and no one noticed the car parked under the shade of the trees.

The setting sun was like blood, and a long bell rang on the White Pagoda, mourning the disappearing souls of heroes.

In such a peaceful age, most soldiers will never encounter such a large-scale battle in their lifetime. Yimulian has recently experienced several thrilling escapes from death, but he still didn't feel it at all until he saw it again. That little truck.

The pickup truck stopped in front of the palace where the royal family arranged for them to stay temporarily. Unlike the past, those fancy ornaments were removed, and tactical maps of various theaters were pasted up. Seeing people coming and going, even just standing aside and listening while pouring tea for Huang is exhausting.

Yimulian never knew that Huang worked seriously like this.

Huang Zheng and the general of the bombing unit had a dispute over the location of the bombing. How can a soldier be so tall when he quarrels? , finally endured it.

Huang suddenly glanced at him, his back froze.

——Ah, embarrassing!Yimulian's expression was still the same as he tried his best to hold back his smile just now, maybe it was funny, he blushed and tried to look away as if he was drinking water.

Unexpectedly, Huang didn't react at all, as if he didn't see anything, he turned around and shared his views with the general.

"The enemy is very smart and knows to attack the guide before we react. The current situation is far from easy as you imagined. Although only the surprise attack on Franval is successful, the casualty statistics handed in are still not optimistic."

Huang slapped a stack of reports on the whiteboard: "General."

There are so many generals here, but everyone knows who he is calling.Yimu Lianxin said that he still saw it, and quickly put down the water glass in his hand, picked up the pile of files and glanced temporarily: "As of the data reported so far, a total of 12 guides and 2 sentries died in the bombing. There are still 5 guides who are being rescued and are not out of danger, so it can be preliminarily inferred that they were deliberately murdered against the guides."

"Yes. The enemies who exploded several times were all targeting the guides, trying to make the empire run out of ammunition and food. A war is indispensable no matter where the guides are. Sentinels are sharp blades, and guides are souls. If you don't make up your mind to wipe them all out, you will only make more Many compatriots have suffered disasters."

After finishing speaking, Huang pointed out a few places: "I suggest dropping missiles here."

His eyes trembled, and the direction he pointed was the capital and trading port of the Federation!

This is to kill the net, not just suppress and try to end this war.

"With all due respect, Marshal, out of humanitarianism, bombing such a densely populated city is the empire's fault no matter what. For the sake of long-term development, properly deterring the Federation and dissuading them should be the purpose of our war." The lieutenant general suddenly spoke, proposing under the pressure of being overwhelmed by the marshal's overly strong sentinel pheromone.

Huang slapped the whiteboard, and everyone present was startled: "Tenderness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself. Didn't four years of military school life teach you this truth?"

No one answered at the scene, it was difficult to argue back when Marshal Huang had made up his mind.

"marshal."

Someone interrupted suddenly, and everyone couldn't help but look at the warrior.

"Tell me." Huang looked at Yimulian, his expression was uncertain, but he didn't see any anger.

"I asked you if you hated the federal soldiers, and your answer was 'hate'. Then can I think that this military order contains subjective feelings?" Yimu took a deep breath, facing Huang's menacing gaze, he It's actually a little out of breath.

When issuing military orders, it is the most fundamental requirement not to use public favoritism for personal gain, but generally speaking, which subordinate who does not want to die will put such a crime on his chief?Can't find death!But Yimulian dared to do so, he had to say this.

"The people are always innocent. I agree with the Lieutenant General's plan to blow up only a few barracks." He said sincerely, and he did not forget to leave a step for Huang: "I believe the Marshal can understand my thoughts."

The soldiers present were half stunned—it turns out that the chief husband and wife also have disagreements?

Originally thinking that Huang would be furious, many sentries couldn't help getting ready for another reprimand, but Huang was silent for a long time and said, "Then vote."

That stubborn Marshal Huang would actually make concessions? !

The remaining half were also stunned, opened their mouths wide, and suddenly a large group of spiritual guides danced up and down in the carriage.

——As expected of Marshal Huang's guide, I'm afraid the marshal only listened to Admiral Yimulian's persuasion, they thought in their hearts.

The voting was done anonymously. Huang watched the whole process and did not cast his own vote. Yimulian presided over the voting.

The end result is really not Huang's idea.

But Huang did what he said, he didn't insist on his own ideas, and made a strategic plan, but said when everyone left in the end: "I hope you won't regret today's cowardice one day."

These words were imprinted on Yimulianxin, but he still didn't regret his proposal even for a moment.

They returned to the hall in two or three steps, closed the door at a glance, and quickly said: "Sorry." He was at a loss, thinking that tonight might be ruined again.

"No, you just did what you should do." Huang wanted to make a cup of coffee, convinced of the fact that he had to work overtime tonight.

"Let me do it." Yimulian stepped forward to snatch the bag of coffee beans, hesitated again and again, and asked cautiously: "The combination that Admiral Guhuobiao said..."

This is about the first time he has stepped into Thunder Pond.

The supreme order of the empire came first, and he felt that it was not too much for him to do so.

Huang took the coffee machine down from the upper cabinet for him, and the coffee machine made a bang sound as if it had been knocked hard on the table.

"What does the general think?"

God, this sentence is simply teasing him!Yimulian turned pale: "Listen to you."

Huang Wenyan was relieved, and said frankly: "I have no plans to get married now."

"……yes."

To be honest, Yimulian was not surprised by this result.

Is it because of the Sentinel?Oh, he dared not ask, that was not his concern.

After all, it's just the drawbridge effect.

In times of crisis, people will involuntarily have their heart beat faster, and they will mistake the mood at this moment for their own heartbeat, thinking it is a physiological reaction to their love for the other party, so the saying that a friend in adversity actually has two meanings.

It's just the second one...

Yimu didn't hold his hand tightly, the disc used to grind coffee beans slipped from his hand, and the coffee foam spilled all over the table, he quickly wiped it with a rag, but one hand covered the back of his hand inadvertently.

Huang pressed his hand, as if telling him not to think about it.Huang's expression was sincere, and an imperceptible spark flashed in his eyes: "Admiral, I think you misunderstood something."

"Trust me." I have my reasons for doing so.

Those three simple words disintegrated the long and short sighs in Yimulian's heart.

Maybe I disappointed everyone, Huang has his own considerations, please believe him~

*White Noise: Sentinel's five senses are often in a state of confusion. Overly sharp five senses will make them learn a lot of unnecessary information. In order to isolate this chaos, there is a product like White Noise Belt.Most of them are the sound of wind, waves, footsteps, etc., which are used to soothe one's emotions when there is no guide around.It's also worth mentioning that many of the Sentinels would have preferred to record their own, since their preferred white noise could be something more symbolic... maybe.
