Colonel, is it really fragrant today?

Regarding Theodore's self-ridicule, Dane replied: "No, you are hiding it really well. I never doubted you. These things were just thought of under the premise that I just identified you as the murderer."

Theodore raised his eyelashes, avoided Dane's sight on purpose, and bowed his head in silence. Dane didn't speak anymore, he had finished what he had to say, and Theodore needed to say the rest.

After a cup of tea was over, Dane heard the other party's explanation.

Theodore's voice was weak and slow, as if recalling the past: "I am not from the Empire. The identity of Theodore Zweig was fabricated from the beginning, but my name is indeed Theodore, but I am not It’s not this surname. My coming to the empire has been planned since I was born, but it wasn’t me at the beginning. Every once in a while, my country will pick someone who is close to me in every way to come to the empire, and I am this The last man of identity."

Dane's reaction was not great, and he could probably think of these things: "Has the Theodor Zweig I know always been just a person?"

"Yes, this identity hasn't changed since I met you. It's always been me." Theodore looked at Dane, hesitated, and extended an invitation: "I will leave the empire in an hour, Daine Well, you come with me, I love you as much as any of them, and I can promise you a more honorable place in my country than in the Empire."

Dane smiled, and didn't express much about Theodore's sudden confession, but told the other party seriously that he would not leave the empire: "Theodore, just because I came to see you alone does not mean that I will be willing to go with you , not to mention that I will let you go, when you choose to assassinate the Marshal, you should understand that there is no such thing as a good thing like getting out."

Theodore smiled back and said, "I know you won't let me go, and it's impossible for me to use force against you, so can you return my favor?"

Dane's tone was blunt: "I don't owe you anything."

"Why do you think Crick Garcia left the team for no reason, Dane, you really shouldn't speak out about your feelings for Lieutenant General Fitzgerald." Theodore said in Dane's slightly surprised expression. He continued: "Do you think that what happened to Andrew and Corey's last frontline mission was just a coincidence? No, there has never been a coincidence in this world, it's just that someone quietly helped you behind the scenes."

Dane was really shocked this time. He never thought that the accident between Andrew and Corey would be done on purpose. "It turns out that those coincidences are all because of you."

"It's me." Theodore nodded and said, "I will definitely leave today. You can't stop me alone. If possible, I hope we can cooperate one last time."

Dane was about to refuse, but was interrupted by Theodore: "You don't have to refuse me in such a hurry, you might as well listen to me first, and then consider whether to agree to this deal. After the Marshal's accident this time, the people in the military department will Look for opportunities to get rid of Heinrich, Heinrich will fight in the next large-scale battle, and both sides have only one goal, which is to let Heinrich die on the front line."

Dane frowned unsurprisingly, and asked, "Why do you know?"

"Because this was originally my plan." Theodore said: "Heinrich is the core figure of the Imperial Army in terms of strength and status. If I can leverage him, it will be very beneficial to me, but if you are willing to cooperate , I might be able to adjust the plan a bit."

Dane asked suspiciously, "How to adjust?"

"For example, change the person who is going to perform missions on the front line from Heinrich to you." Theodore paused deliberately, but Dane was not fooled, and shrugged his shoulders boringly and continued: "I will change the whole plan. Let me tell you, it is completely possible to counter-kill with your level, of course, you can also choose to die together to cover up people's eyes and ears. In this case, you only need one extra warship on standby at any time.

Dane, you know that I only trust you in the empire, so I will only follow the original plan after I confirm that you are the one who goes to the front to perform the task, otherwise I will activate plan B. "

This is a war of trust. Theodore said that he only trusts Dane, and if Dane agrees, it also means that he fully trusts Theodore.

"How about it, do you consider cooperation?" Theodore asked.

Dane didn't immediately agree, and made a point and said: "In this case, people in your country will also sacrifice."

"I have people to clean up, too."

"Then let's cooperate." Dane didn't hesitate this time, but couldn't help asking one more question when Theodore left: "Why do you help me?" There was no need to intervene, but he did.

Theodore smiled, "I dragged you here to save you at the academy celebration, and I agreed at the time that I owe you a favor."

Dane knew that Theodore was just making an excuse to help him, his eyes flashed and he finally said: "I don't know what your status is in your country, but if one day you sit in that position, I will Hopefully by then we can join forces.”

"Of course, I'm looking forward to it too."

Half an hour after Theodore left, Dane arranged the traces of the entire fight in the Lose Demon bar, and then reported the truth of the entire incident to his superiors. At the same time, he was outnumbered with leg injuries and asked the military for rapid support.

After getting the breakthrough, the superiors paid great attention to it, but Theodore left too quickly, and the military didn't even see the tail. Dane was sent to the hospital and was investigated. En's rhetoric was perfect, so he had to give up in the end.

When Vivienne came to visit the patient, she specially checked the monitoring equipment in the ward, and raised her eyebrows after making sure that they were all turned off, and asked: "Outnumbered, injured in the leg? The Dane I know shouldn't be so helpless."

Dane looked at Vivienne for two seconds and concluded, "Theodore told you."

Vivian nodded, "Of course, I can be regarded as his friend no matter what. It's impossible to tell you only one person, but he told me after he left, and the main reason is to cooperate with you to go to the front line later. The mission to perform." Vivienne was a little unbalanced, but after seeing Dane's injured leg, her mentality improved.

"I heard that the Marshal is still in a coma." Dane asked Vivian, "Who is in charge of the military affairs now?"

"Several generals decided together, but considering the marshal's injury, even if he can wake up, he might not be able to continue to serve as marshal, so a successor is necessary." Vivienne squinted her eyes and looked at Dai En: "The military department is now mainly divided into two factions. One faction supports Lieutenant General Fitzgerald's succession, and the other faction supports Lieutenant Colonel Zole, but almost all of the generals are on Lieutenant Colonel Zole's side."

Dane said: "Lieutenant Colonel Zole will not want to take on the responsibility of Marshal."

Vivian smiled: "No one in the military department knows about this, but the decision-making power is not in the hands of Lieutenant Colonel Zole. The successor is just a game between the two camps. The lieutenant general and the lieutenant colonel are just put on the table. It's just the people above."

Vivienne took a meaningful look at Dane's injured leg, "If you want to see Lieutenant General Fitzgerald take that position, heal your injury quickly and carry out the mission, and wait for you to die heroically." Then your lieutenant general will be able to succeed you."

Dane frowned, and argued: "I chose to cooperate with Theodore just because I think Heinrich is suitable for that position."

"No selfishness at all?" Vivienne pursed her lips and smiled, nodded Dane's chest and said, "How difficult is it to admit this? You used to be very free and easy about this kind of thing."

"That was before." Dane lowered his eyes and said, "Besides, I won't come back after this mission." Pretending that sacrifice was the one he chose after Theodore gave him two options, he needed to leave the military headquarters , leave the main planet for a while, and maybe he will come back after he can completely let go of his mother's grievances.

Dane didn't spend a long time recuperating in the hospital. The injury wasn't serious and Walter's private care allowed him to fully recover within two weeks. What happened afterwards was exactly as Theodore expected. The group of old guys still dared not force Heinrich to go to the front line openly, so when they heard that Dane voluntarily asked to go to the battle, several people made up their minds and felt that it was feasible to pull out one of Heinrich's minions first, so I agree.

The matter was unusually smooth. It neither caught Heinrich's attention nor disturbed Lieutenant Colonel Zole who was staying with the Marshal. Vivienne served as the commander of this mission. The two confirmed that the night before the mission All the plans have been made, and nothing will go wrong.

After Dane's battleship left the base, Heinrich received a video call from Theodore. The murderer who assassinated the marshal showed up, and the lieutenant general looked very unhappy.

Theodore spread his hands and said helplessly: "Don't be so hostile to me, Lieutenant General Fitzgerald, I just contacted you to tell you one thing, and you will thank me after listening.

Those old men in your military department are plotting a plan to join forces with the enemy to get rid of you when you go to the front line to go out on a mission. I calculated the time, and they will take action in about two days. For Dane's sake I kindly remind you, don't be moved. "

After Theodore finished speaking, he cut off the connection neatly. The moment Heinrich disappeared from the screen, Theodore covered his stomach and laughed. The sudden change of Heinrich's face just now was really interesting. This was his last There's not much I can do for Dane.

Vivienne's command room was forcibly broken open from the outside. Before Heinrich could say a word of recall, he witnessed the explosion of Dane's battleship with his own eyes. Dane's voice made a vague sound, followed by And disappear, just lost contact in an instant.
