A is in StarCraft, just disembarked from the Zerg Prince spaceship.

......

Given that Gao Tian might frequently need to travel between Earth and satellites, the military region allocated him an apartment in the housing area next to the military region's headquarters.

It's not very big, just a regular apartment, about 100 square meters.

This way, he'll have a place to stay when he returns to the 45th Military Region's base to carry out missions.

If there's nothing else to do during the year, you can bring the Zerg crown prince to stay for two months.

The Crown Prince can bring some mechanics, starship pilots, guards, and other subordinates whenever he has free time; their military region can take care of receiving them.

This went on for a while.

Take this opportunity to learn something.

Hey, wouldn't that improve the military region's strength?

The same old formula, the same old lack of money; they wouldn't even allocate a bigger house to the crown prince if he wanted to come.

After the things were almost packed, the commander-in-chief's orderly came to invite them.

The commander summoned him.

Gao Tian got up and followed the instructor and orderly to the office of the commander of the 45th Military Region.

......

The Beidou military emblem hanging on the wall of the Commander-in-Chief's office gleamed with a golden luster, while the service badges and honorary battle flags complemented each other.

As soon as Gao Tian opened the door to the commander's office, the commander of the 45th Military Region rushed in.

"Comrade Gao Tian!"

Good heavens! Gao Tian was taken aback by his enthusiasm.

The commander of the 45th Military Region treated him better than his own son.

Look how successful Comrade Gao Tian from the 45th Military Region is.

With the emergence of Gao Tian, ​​their military region's reputation will be unmatched by any of its colleagues for at least the next twenty years.

Hahahaha, you're stunned, aren't you, colleagues! Sorry, our 45th Military Region is going to take off first!

This year's conscription has been much easier than usual.

The registration is full! Hehehehe, I'm so happy!

Sigh, the main thing is that I'm lucky.

This is inexplicable; I don't know how it happened, but I was carried to victory by my subordinates.

Gao Tian, ​​his hand gripped by the man, was both amused and exasperated: "Commander..."

"Oh!" the commander of the 45th Military Region said hurriedly. "Please sit down, please sit down."

Please, Gao Tian, ​​sit down across from me. The commander of the 45th Military Region sat back down at the back of his office, placed his hands on the desk, and said kindly to Gao Tian:

"Comrade Gao Tian—"

Gao Tian quickly waved his hand: "No, no, no, you don't need to be so polite, just call me Gao Tian."

Let's all go to work normally.

The other military region commanders were not his superiors and could be addressed as Comrade Gao Tian, ​​but the commander of the 45th military region was his direct superior in the military headquarters.

What's wrong with the Zerg Crown Princess? Even when she's at work, the Zerg Crown Princess has to respect the hierarchy.

The commander of Military Region No. 45 was very satisfied.

Hey, I knew their Comrade Gao Tian's main motto was "never forget your roots."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony with you. Gao Tian, ​​on behalf of Military Region 45, I would like to express my deepest gratitude for your contributions to human development."

"Please don't say that, it's all what I should do."

"I still want to thank you. You don't know, because of you, our 45th Military Region has become a hot spot for recruitment this year. Hahahaha, the application portal for the Corps has only been open for one day, and the number of applicants for our 45th Military Region is already full. Hahahahahaha—"

The commander of Military Region No. 45 had a very wicked smile, and Gao Tian couldn't help but smile a little as well.

"That's great."

Their 45th Military Region is a land-based army corps, which doesn't have the same benefits as the Air Force, the same security as the Navy, and is certainly not as cool as the Aerospace Force.

The land forces region has always been a region with difficulty in recruiting soldiers, with a consistently insufficient number of applicants.

Even with a minimum of 40 men, they couldn't muster the manpower; otherwise, there wouldn't have been any surplus troops that were directly allocated to Military Region 45.

This time, the application portal was only open for one day, and the number of applicants for Military Region 45 was already full.

Compared to the other forty-odd military regions, its speed is far ahead, even surpassing the First Military Region, which is simply a miracle.

"Yes, it's a very good thing that more people are willing to dedicate themselves to the cause of the land forces," the commander of the 45th Military Region said with a smile and a touch of emotion.

Although the land troops may not be as prestigious as the others, their importance is absolutely no less than that of other legions.

Close-quarters land warfare remains the most important means of countering low-level Zerg warfare to this day.

It is indeed very dangerous and very hard, but we can't let no one do it.

It is because of these warriors who, knowing the danger, are still willing to rush into the fire that humanity has been able to continue.

We chatted for a while longer.

Finally, the commander of the 45th Military Region asked Gao Tian, ​​"Major General Gao Tian, ​​what are your plans for the future?"

This is the real topic of our conversation.

Military personnel holding actual positions are required to work in the military region at all times.

Gao Tian has become the crown princess of the Zerg. It is unlikely that the Zerg crown prince will settle on Earth, and it is impossible for Gao Tian to stay on the human side forever, spending little time with the crown prince.

"What's the military region's opinion?" Gao Tian asked.

He wanted to hear the military region's opinion first.

If the military region allows him to work irregular hours, then there's room for negotiation. But if the military region insists that he work and cannot leave, then there's probably no way to negotiate.

Special circumstances require special treatment. The military region can't expect officers to abandon their families to come to work, can it?

The other side that was asked to be abandoned was the Zerg Crown Prince; if they were provoked, the military district would be bombarded with a single shot.

Fortunately, the military region also took this into consideration.

"After a meeting, our military region's opinion is," said the commander of the 45th Military Region, "that you will remain a full-fledged officer and will be placed on a flexible work schedule, without being required to be on duty at the office. However, you will still have a military duty and will need to be called back when the military needs you to complete some difficult tasks that ordinary people cannot accomplish."

"Major General Gao Tian, ​​are you comfortable with this arrangement?"

"I hope you will never forget your original aspiration and keep your mission firmly in mind, and continue to serve as the people's sharpest weapon and shield, and step forward again when the people need you."

......

When Gao Tian left the military headquarters, he was holding a new work card in his hand.

He just spoke with the commander of the 45th Military Region and determined his future work responsibilities.

He only accepts mandatory missions that are life-or-death. As for ordinary missions, he will take them on his own when he has time, and he will take on as many as possible.

However, he will be away from the Human Federation for six months each year. During these six months, he will not accept any mandatory or ordinary missions, unless there is a situation where humanity is on the verge of extinction.

If the military cannot accept this, he can resign from his position in the military.

Although it's unlikely that he'll go to Liernia with the Crown Prince and do nothing but be his gigolo, he honestly feels he already owes the Crown Prince enough. The Crown Prince has already solved so many problems and sacrificed so much for his duty, and he can't keep ignoring Lan for the sake of the Human Federation.

A balance must be found between the larger family and the individual family.

Earth will not be destroyed. The most dangerous hurdle has been overcome. Humanity and Lyrnia have established diplomatic relations, and in the early stages of development when we are weak, we will have someone to protect us.

The Human Federation will face very few crises in the future. The remaining development requires the joint efforts of all mankind, and we don't need to rely on him to feed us forever.

Humanity is a vast race, and each individual is a spark.

A single spark can start a prairie fire; the power of a collective is always greater than that of an individual.

The people who have the opportunity and begin to strive are the true reliance of humanity; humanity cannot live on just one person.

Of course, if we encounter another apocalyptic situation, then we'll talk about that again.

If there really is a situation where humanity is on the verge of extinction, the Crown Prince probably wouldn't mind helping the Crown Princess save humanity once again.

Now that the apocalypse for Earth and humanity has been averted and development has stabilized, and the Crown Princess's family has been saved, it's time to take care of her own little family.

When the nation faces a life-or-death crisis, the greater good is more important than one's own family.

There's nothing wrong with this sentence.

He was a soldier, and Lan was the crown prince; they naturally carried their own responsibilities.

This responsibility takes precedence over personal matters when a choice must be made between two equally important things.

Protecting the Earth and humanity is his responsibility, and the Crown Prince understands and acknowledges this responsibility.

If one day Lyrnia encounters a crisis, the Crown Prince will also bear his own responsibility and will consider Lyrnia more important than Takaten.

Gao Tian fully understood and agreed.

They are not ordinary people; they are citizens of the country.

For some professions, those who receive taxpayers' wages have responsibilities to live up to the country and the people. Therefore, when the country is in danger of life and death, they must go to the country's aid and not care about their loved ones.

but.

When there is no existential crisis and both can be achieved, the greater good and the individual family are equally important.

Patriotism and love for one's partner must be balanced; one should not neglect the other.

Even in a situation not of life or death, the military would not demand that soldiers only love their country and not their people, endure hardship without suffering, or shed blood and tears.

The military agreed.

......

After leaving the military region office with the instructor, Gao Tian chatted with him: "Instructor, do you think what I did was right? Now I have other things to consider, and I'm not wholeheartedly devoted to the country anymore. It feels like I've betrayed the country."

The drill instructor was speechless: "What is this? Don't have such a high sense of morality at such a young age. Taking six months of leave a year is considered betraying the country? Isn't it common for special personnel who carry out particularly dangerous missions to work half a year and then take half a year off? Are you obsessed with work?"

Gao Tian breathed a sigh of relief: "That makes sense."

The drill instructor joked with him, "You're the first ever 'corporate slave princess'!"

Anyone who manages to climb such a golden branch will be settling down and living a life of ease, and might even seek revenge on their former boss who put them in such danger. Even a fool like Gao Tian, ​​braving wind and rain to worry about humanity's mission, would feel pressured to take a vacation to be a crown princess.

Gao Tian said, "It's not that exaggerated, is it? Life isn't just about dating; you still have to go to work."

Becoming the crown princess of the Zerg doesn't mean he's a Zerg person. It's an international marriage, but he's still a human being.

The instructor didn't say anything.

Gao Tian is doing very well.

As long as Gao Tian's heart remains with humanity, and as long as the Zerg Crown Prince still cares about him, there is no need to worry that the Zerg Empire will turn against humanity.

It's not wrong to have other concerns besides one's country. Many people have other concerns in their lives, and that doesn't mean they'll let their country down.

If the country faces another crisis, I reckon these idiots will still be the first to rush in.

......

We agreed to meet at a certain place in the afternoon, then split up and went about our own business.

The instructors went to manage the little brats they were currently training, while Gao Tian turned a corner and headed to the entrance of Lu Jianan's research institute.
