The weapon of the country

At dawn, Shen Han walked into a bar next to the Ping Qin Restaurant.

The Ping Qin Pavilion is not far from the Laurel Palace. It was originally the official residence of the governor sent by the emperor to the colony.The architecture and decoration are completely imperial luxury, and it also sits on a large garden.After declaring independence, the Governor's Mansion, which is a symbol of the empire, was naturally not suitable to be converted into the President's Mansion. At that time, President Yang adhered to the principle of "making the best use of everything" and installed the entire Governor's Mansion, including the buildings and the land under the buildings, on the airship. The ground was moved to Xindu and turned into a diplomatic place for receiving foreign guests. The imperial mission stayed here.

Shen Han sat at the walnut-colored wooden bar and drank all morning. The bartender handed him non-alcoholic drinks without ordering. At two o'clock in the afternoon, a man took off his hat and pushed open the door of the bar, and hurried over. , sat down beside Shen Han stiffly.

"What do you want to know?" The man worked in the Ping Qin Pavilion, and his voice was extremely low out of nervousness. "Someone said that if you give you news, no one will find out."

Shen Han raised his glass and smiled, "Calm down." He didn't look at him, "Is there any new equipment in the auditorium preparing for the award ceremony?"

The other party hesitated, "The newly added... full-angle camera and OB van..."

In order to make his embarrassment more sensational and memorable, Earl Wellingt even wanted to broadcast it live.

Without the duke's permission, he couldn't let the empire's CCTV live broadcast a ceremony of self-satisfaction and personal revenge, but like the previous Earl Wellingt, the young Earl Wellingt was also the governor of the empire's Anglo Island. It was a breeze for the TV station to carry whatever he wanted.

In an instant, Earl Wellingt's expression of chasing after him when he left floated in front of his eyes. Underneath the viciousness was paranoia and hatred.That expression merged into four words: You owe me!

You killed my father, you made me fatherless!So what you owe me, you deserve my wrath and insult.

Shen Han laughed at himself, "Probably I really owe him."

The arrival of the imperial visiting group lifts a lid on memory, and the memory compressed and stuffed into a vial swells and overflows like a nightmare.During the war between the Federation and the Empire, both sides sent spies to fan the flames on the enemy's land. Shen Han received a secret mission, hid his identity and lurked in Angola Continent, setting off a slave rebellion.

Before the Governor's Mansion was breached, in the blood and fire, he tried his best to persuade the old Earl Wellingt who had rescued him and his family, "Please leave with me, you are powerless! The Governor's Mansion is a big ship that is about to sink. Why do you want to live and die with a shipwreck?"

The old man's eyes were sharp, he looked deeply at his disguised face, and pulled away his hand with emotion, "So it's you." At the end of his life, he still maintained the loyalty and dignity of the imperial nobles, and solemnly arranged the medals on his uniform , "Of course you don't know why I lived and died with a shipwreck, because you don't understand what loyalty is at all."

Shen Han mixed in the rebel army and witnessed the beheading of the old earl.Among the ecstatic and tearful crowd, his eyes were hot and tears welled up, but it was not from the joy of completing the task.

Old Earl Wellington had rescued his mother and son, and his hands were stained with the blood of a rare and honest man among the nobles, the blood of those who had helped him.

He didn't tell his brother and mother that there was nothing wrong with Shen Xiao and his mother, they carried their own shackles and didn't need to carry another one.Only him, Shen Han owed an unforgivable debt.

The rebellion didn't last long. Less than two weeks after Shen Han left, the rebel army was surrounded by troops dispatched by the empire and slaughtered.The young Earl of Wellington inherited his father's title, declined the grace of the previous emperor to allow him to stay in the imperial capital as a leisurely nobleman, and took the initiative to come to the border Angeluozhou to succeed the governor.He ordered one a day to behead the backbone of the rebel army in front of the Governor's Palace.The blood at the gate of the governor's mansion has not been dried for a full month, and Ange Luozhou has since surrendered to his high-pressure policy.

The scenes at that time in my memory are still like a sharp knife to this day.The old wound was torn open, and his heart was dripping with blood, but Shen Han calmly put the money under the wine glass and left.

The father's debt must be repaid by the son, and what is owed to the father may be repaid to the son.Now the Earl of Wellington wants to humiliate him with honors and live broadcasts, and he will go to experience the humiliation, which is his debt.But whether Earl Wellingt's humiliation can achieve the effect he expected is up to him.

Shen Han walked towards the Pingqin Pavilion. The sunlight illuminated this magnificent building. The main structure of the Pingqin Pavilion was made of a kind of expensive stone called "Moonlight Marble". The light goose yellow was like the color reflected by the moonlight.Exquisite curved patterns are carved at the corners and corners, surrounded by trees and flowers, and the imperial flag hangs high.

Before walking up the wide stone steps made of moonlight marble, Shen Han saw a familiar figure beside the open-air handrail carved out of the same stone.

Zhuang Ye was wearing a military uniform and walked quickly, "You really came."

The young man didn't care about maintaining etiquette, and raised his head eagerly, "You don't have to compromise...I contacted a friend in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and we can protest against the empire's forced awarding of honors—"

Shen Han gently put his hands on his shoulders to calm him down, "Have you asked the elders in the military department?"

Zhuang Ye opened his mouth, but had nothing to say.

General Wei didn't say anything about it, how could Commander Zhuang help him.

The military is a place where men gather and promote so-called masculinity.Worship the strong and naturally despise the weak.In such an environment, the most subtle but effective way to weaken a person is to publish his tragic past and misfortune, so that he can be pitied.It is absolutely impossible for a person who is sympathized by most people but not admired to reach the top. People will love a person out of sympathy, but they will not be convinced to let a person they sympathize with become the leader of the group.

Participating in the award ceremony and putting himself in a situation that allowed Earl Wellingt to be humiliated, Zhuang Ye was afraid that Shen Han would accidentally fall into the trap, so he stubbornly grabbed the corner of Shen Han's clothes, "You can't go, don't go."

He came specifically to stop me.This thought flashed across Shen Han's mind, and he suddenly felt a burst of warmth.In the late winter weather, every pore is stretched out, and the warm current spreads from the place where the body touches. Besides the warmth, there is also relaxation. He is like a pedestrian who has trekked through the wind and snow for many years and finally unloaded his luggage.

It felt so new and different from the family's concerns.No one tried to protect him for too long, not to mention the hardships of childhood, after coming to the federation, the comments their brothers received were "mature and sensible, with excellent physical and mental strength".He lived on the federal border when he was a boy, and when the empire's air raids came, the teachers were panicked. He relied on him to comfort his classmates and guide them to evacuate; he was admitted to a military academy, and was praised and affirmed by his professors. After becoming a soldier, he was even more trusted by his superiors.Before today, he had forgotten what it was like to be protected and cared for by someone not related by blood.People around even think that wanting to protect him will irritate him, no matter in appearance or in heart, he is so strong that he does not need protection.

But it felt... surprisingly good.It felt good to be defended by a cygnet who was younger and thinner than him.

Shen Han couldn't help laughing, "Thank you."

Seeing that his expression was not heavy but with a smile on his face, the fingers grasping his arm were so hard that they turned white, flustered in the usual silence, "What's wrong with you, are you okay? Things haven't gotten that bad, there is always a way. "

The little swan is so cute, a small voice said in his heart, you can indulge yourself, touch him a little, and no one will notice.Something sprouted, Shen Han pressed the back of Zhuang Ye's neck, pressed lightly, Zhuang Ye's dark pupils revealed an unbelievable expression.

This was a soothing gesture, but there was physical contact, Shen Han patted him on the back, "Don't be afraid."

Zhuang Ye instinctively wanted to tuck his chin in, trembling all over, and pulled away in time, his face flushed.

"I'm not afraid..."

"I'll talk about it later." Shen Han straightened his collar and walked into the Ping Qin Pavilion, the staff on both sides of the door opened the door for him.
