Chapter 393 Tit for tat
The first people to walk out from Transport Aircraft were two heavily armed soldiers, followed by several men in black wearing sunglasses. They covered their chests with their hands and quickly dispersed after getting off the plane. They began to check the area until they were sure that there was no danger around. After making sure that there was no danger around, they covered their ears with their hands and reported twice. Only then did several new figures reappear in front of the door opened by Shuttlecraft.
President Glass looked at the figure appearing in front of the door of Shuttlecraft and said disdainfully, "What a squeamish and face-saving Earthling. How dishonest. He was so scared that he didn't even turn off Shuttlecraft's engine, but he still walked down, just to show his superiority as an Earthling in front of me."
Xiao Ran rolled his eyes speechlessly. "Your Excellency, if I remember correctly, you should have been born on Earth at your age, right?"
"Hahaha, that's right, but now I have abandoned my identity as an Earthling and am just a space immigrant." President Glass smiled and patted Xiao Ran on the shoulder, saying, "I forgot that you are also an Earthling, hahaha, except you, let's go and meet those arrogant and proud people."
Xiao Ran smiled, and also felt the mixed emotions in President Glass's heart, the kind of determination to face it bravely after complicated entanglements. This mood also made President Glass smile more heartily than usual.
The figure in Shuttlecraft slowly walked out of the cabin. President Glass also took steps to walk down the stairs in front of the municipal building and stopped about ten meters away from Shuttlecraft. Xiao Ran and some other ship crew officials and officers also stood straight behind President Glass.
The people in Shuttlecraft gradually got off the plane, and a group of more than a dozen people walked towards Xiao Ran and President Glass under the protection of about the same number of guards.
Cruze and Graham also walked out of the gate of the municipal building at this time. At this time, they had changed into a defense Unified Army military uniform without a military rank. They stood in front of the gate and looked in the direction of the crowd where Xiao Ran was.
Cruze turned around and looked around, and suddenly showed a mysterious smile, "It seems that something interesting will happen, Graham, don't you want to prepare?"
Graham was stunned, and realized that Cruze was not focusing on the crowd centered on Xiao Ran, but on the guards in black who were walking back and forth nearby. He also immediately observed the men in black. In less than three seconds, Graham frowned. "The situation is not right."
"Let's go." Cruze nodded lightly, took out a pistol from his arms and held it in his hand. He walked down the stairs in a hurry and said, "Although I really want to see what these men in black want to do, but if these men in black are really allowed to do it, I'm afraid Xiao Ran will lose his temper. Then he will be angry and do impulsive things, which will be troublesome."
The corner of Graham's mouth curled up, and like Cruze, he also took out a pistol. Following Cruze's footsteps, he carefully checked the bullets and loaded the gun, and then he said, "Usually you are calm and calm, everyone is drunk and I am alone. I didn't expect you to worry about this."
"Haha." Cruze smiled without looking back and said, "After all, I am also his follower. As a subordinate, you should naturally do what you should do. Whether it is calm and calm, or watching the fire from the other side, it is just an adjustment in my life. When doing things, I should behave the way I do, although the means are not important."
Over there, Xiao Ran, who was juxtaposed with President Glass, looked at the man walking in front of him. This man was bald, about sixty years old, and looked about the same age as President Glass, but he could not see the toughness of a soldier at all. On the contrary, he could only see the smoothness and smoothness of this man.
A military uniform that is supposed to support the body upright looks a bit funny on this middle-aged man. Xiao Ran feels that it really looks a little awkward with his round belly and somewhat fat body in this military uniform that is supposed to reflect the military temperament.
But he was such a chubby man with a smile on his face that looked like Maitreya Buddha. Hanging on his shoulder collar was the highest military rank among the Unified Army except Souji order, general.
From afar, he smiled and extended his right hand to President Glass. It was not until President Glass also smiled and stretched out his hand to hold it that the admiral said with a smile on his face, "Glass, we haven't seen each other for many years. When I see you again, I have changed from a young man to what I am now. Tell me, even at this age, we can't enjoy happiness, hey..."
President Glass held the opponent's right hand, and took the cigar from his mouth with the left hand holding the cane. He spit a thick puff of smoke on the fat admiral's face, which immediately made the opponent cough. Then he said with a smile, "Oh, George, you have really gained a lot of weight. The fleet is comparable." It's not as good as Earth, and it's not as good as in all aspects of life. The young people here all yearn for openness, and only a conservative old man like me would stay in the ship group to look at home. I finally found a suitable place and was about to retire and rest. Who knew that something like this would happen again? What can you do about it? "
Glass clearly said that he was helpless and incompetent, but the real meaning behind his words was to mock the bald general, mocking him as a coward who only knew how to stay on earth and hiding behind other people, and mocking the entire Earth Unified Army for having nothing to do all day long.
A person who can become an admiral will naturally have a good mind. The bald admiral who heard the meaning of President Glass had an awkward smile on his face for a moment, and then shook his head as if it was nothing. "Thank you so much. Since you have the idea of retiring, why not take this opportunity to retreat and have a good rest, and replace it with a capable young man. It doesn't matter if you want to go back to Earth, I can arrange a suitable place for you."
"That's my idea, but let's forget about the earth. I think this place is quite good. Fortunately, millions of people have worked hard for decades to find this place. We have recognized this place and are prepared to treat it as our own burial place. The earth is too mixed and the air is not as good as here. There is no need to go back."
President Glass let go of the hand held by the fat man and expressed his intention to express his intention secretly, even if there were more than 10 million people in the entire fleet, he would never leave. He patted Xiao Ran beside him and said, "As for a capable young man, I happen to have one here. I was just about to take some time to deal with the matter of retirement. You are here at this time, so I sincerely invite you to attend the inauguration ceremony of the new president."
President Glass touched his beard and said with a smile, "The young man I am interested in is very good. He has ability and brains. More importantly, his force value is high enough. In the previous battle, one person solved a ship MACROSS-class Battleship himself and was safe and sound. Today's young people are really amazing. They can't even admit defeat."
"But young people sometimes don't think about things like us old guys. I often remind you of this. Just like last time, in order to suppress the rebellious fleet and the bugs that were enemies at that time, I dropped a space bomb directly on a planet. It was incredible. There was not even a hair left on the entire planet. I severely criticized it when I came back."
Xiao Ran listened to President Glass's nonsense. Although the face under the mask kept a smile, his eyes had already rolled up in invisible places. He also admired President Glass's ability to brag.
The bald general glanced at Xiao Ran with feigned surprise, a sharp look flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad. The young man is brave and capable. He is indeed a qualified successor. Glass, why don't you introduce me to this young talent."
Glass pretended to be surprised and said, "Why, don't you know him? Isn't he the Xiao Ran that you Earth Unified Army Headquarters want? Hey, let me tell you, you can't keep such a capable person and you still want to pass him on. "Zi, is there any misunderstanding here, but I can tell you, how you want to arrest him is up to you, but in my case, he is my successor, the next Great President of 25th Fleet."
Glass deliberately named Xiao Ran's name, and even mentioned the fact that Xiao Ran was being raped by Earth Unified Army Headquarters. He also said that no matter how wanted he was, he didn't care about 25th Fleet. He was also explaining a problem to the other party, that is, Earth Unified Army's order could not control 25th Fleet.
Glass said it happily, but it made Xiao Ran smile bitterly in his heart. The reason why he wore the mask was to temporarily conceal his identity. Although he knew it was impossible to hide it, he just hoped to prevent the conflict from breaking out so quickly and directly, but Glass's words made Xiao Ran's preparations in vain.
President Glass's words made the bald general unable to keep his smile any longer, and the people behind him also became pale.
The bald captain George was silent for a while. His previous smile had completely disappeared. He looked at Glass with a sharp look on his face and said, "Then what you mean, this fleet doesn't take Earth Unified Army Headquarters seriously."
President Glass took a deep puff of the cigar, exhaled a puff of smoke and said lightly, "We are Autonomous Fleet. We will consider reasonable requests based on the situation, but we will never agree to unreasonable orders."
The bald general asked again, "So you also completely rejected Earth Unified Army's previous request?"
"Is that a request?" President Glass asked, "Why do I feel like it's like a murderous butcher's knife?"
