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

......

General Zhao Chongshan was not stupid; he was very shrewd.

His forthright and generous nature allows guests who have traveled from afar to quickly lower their guard.

Over there, Minister Hawke and General Zhao were passionately discussing current affairs, and had almost finished two bottles of baijiu.

Minister Hawke has promised to fully arm the Earth's military and ensure that not a single soldier dies.

That's enough. If we drink any more, the Minister of Military Affairs of Lehrnia might really get drunk here, which wouldn't be appropriate.

Commander-in-Chief Qi stood up, preparing to go up and dissuade him.

When the other commanders saw him stand up, they all understood and stood up as well.

Having roughly figured out their background, it seems that Lyrnia's intentions are genuine.

There's no need to force-feed any more; doing so would be counterproductive.

It's time to end the dinner party, and it's about time to send someone to take Minister Hawke back.

But as the commanders were about to go and check on Minister Hawke, they heard him murmur, "You have no idea how envious we are of you..."

Commander-in-Chief Qi stopped in his tracks.

All the commanders stopped in their tracks.

Minister Hawke was drunk and couldn't keep his mouth shut; he said whatever came to mind.

He said, "Do you know how hateful it is for you to be so eager to help advanced civilizations when you first enter the universe, yet still doubt and reject them? Do you know what it was like when we, Leernia, or any other civilization in the universe first entered the universe?"

General Zhao Chongshan was unsure whether he should respond to his words. He looked around and saw only a group of colleagues standing silently.

Even President Qi didn't say anything.

Having no other option, he replied, "We don't know either. Why don't you tell us?"

However, Minister Hawke did not elaborate. He only said, "The Dark Cosmic Law... If anyone in Liernia had been willing to lend a hand back then, I would have kowtowed to them."

Then he fell asleep on the table.

It wasn't an act.

His face was flushed, swollen, covered in sweat, and he was snoring loudly.

Anyone who saw him would know that he was completely drunk.

Even if this person is an alien, it doesn't matter.

All the generals and commanders remained silent.

Like a group of straight wooden stakes.

They stood there one by one as if they were being punished.

Only soldiers like them know how damaging these words are.

Even if they haven't experienced the Dark Universe Laws firsthand, just by imagining them, they know how cruel they must be.

The meaning of the word "厮杀" (sīshā).

The number of soldiers killed in action.

Those are not just cold words and numbers, but the lives of every living soldier.

Every single one of them knows what would happen if humanity ventured into the universe on its own.

It's not that they didn't know how well the Zerg were doing; it's just that humanity had someone protecting them right from the start of their journey into space. It was such a wonderful thing, like a beautiful dream, so beautiful that it was hard to believe.

In human standards, things that are too wonderful often represent a sugar-coated bullet, a trap.

But perhaps this time they really are judging others by their own petty standards and are ungrateful.

The trait of baseness may not be inherent in the Zerg's nature; they are a race far more noble than humans.

Commander-in-Chief Qi summoned his guards and ordered a vehicle to be prepared. He also sent someone to inform the guards in Liernia.

Minister Hawke is drunk; someone will be sent to take him home later.

The aircraft license plate number is [12345]. Please pay attention to receiving the message.

"Send someone to send Minister Hawke back," Commander-in-Chief Qi said softly. "Old Zhao, send your personal guards to escort him. Make sure he is personally handed over to the Zerg delegation to ensure their safety."

"Alright," said General Zhao Chongshan.

Commander-in-Chief Qi was about to leave when he changed his mind after taking a step. He turned back to look at him and said, "You should go and deliver it yourself. Also, apologize to Minister Greta of the Zerg for giving him the cold shoulder earlier."

General Zhao Chongshan said with shame, "...That's fine too."

"It's reasonable to be suspicious, but we can't convict someone based on imagination before it's confirmed, especially when they're there to help."

"It was my fault."

"From now on, let's be more honest with each other and not hurt the feelings of our brothers in Liernia."

"Know."

......

***************

......

Commander-in-Chief Qi was unwell, so after the midday banquet, he signed a leave slip for himself, leaving his adjutant to take over his duties, and went home early to rest.

He now lives in a villa area next to the First Military Region. It is very close to the First Military Region and is mostly inhabited by generals from the First Military Region.

It's very convenient to live here; it's just a short walk home after get off work. He doesn't have many other requirements, as long as he has a place to rest.

He secretly added the house he used to live in to Gao Tian's shortlist of potential homes.

Consider it his wedding gift.

Gao Tian received almost nothing from Gao Xing, not even a house.

Gao Xing is really unreliable.

He didn't intend to do anything special; he just wanted to give Gao Tian a house so they could get married.

I didn't force him to accept it; it was just an alternative.

He would be happy if Gao Tian chose him; if Gao Tian didn't, it wouldn't matter.

After all, the decorating style of these elderly people may not suit the tastes of today's young people.

Fortunately, the staff later informed him that Gao Tian had chosen the apartment he was renovating.

Commander-in-Chief Qi walked around the corner, his military boots crunching over a withered leaf.

He stopped in his tracks.

His current residence is just across the street.

The place diagonally opposite his house.

Two hovercrafts were parked in front of the villa that had been vacant ever since it was sold, their bulletproof glass reflecting distorted images.

The movers were carrying metal boxes bearing the Union Department's bald eagle emblem into the courtyard. The driver's cab door of the outermost truck was half open, and the butler in a dark gray uniform was checking the data on the screen with the driver.

He knew this butler.

He is the housekeeper of the Director of the Alliance Office.

"Oh, Commander-in-Chief Qi."

From afar, the old man's smiling voice came from under the flower trellis inside the courtyard gate.

As the head of the Alliance Office stepped out from beside the ornate iron gate, Commander-in-Chief Qi realized that he was also standing at the door.

The head of the Alliance Bureau, wearing a silver-gray suit with a dark red ruby ​​lapel pin, and with his still neatly styled white hair, was smiling at him.

Felipe Rodri, the most cunning and shrewd fox in the Federation of Humans.

"Chief Rodri."

Commander-in-Chief Qi took off his military cap and tucked it under his arm. Sunlight cast a shadow on his brow bone. He looked calmly at the Director of the Alliance Bureau with his deep-set eyes: "It's really unexpected to see you here."

The Director of the Alliance chuckled and politely clasped his hands together: "I bought this house many years ago. It has been vacant for many years and I have never lived in it. I never expected that I would become your neighbor now."

"What a coincidence."

"Yes, what a coincidence." The Director of the Alliance Bureau glanced at Commander-in-Chief Qi's face and said with concern, "Oh dear, you don't look well. Are you ill?"

Commander-in-Chief Qi replied politely, "It's just a minor cold, nothing serious. Thank you for your concern."

The head of the Alliance added, "As the Commander-in-Chief of the military, you should indeed dedicate yourself to serving the people, but you should also take care of your health."

That old fox really knows how to talk.

A gentle breeze carrying the fragrance of early autumn osmanthus blossoms swept by. Commander-in-Chief Qi clenched his fist and coughed lightly a few times. "Yes."

He was coughing, so the head of the Alliance Office couldn't be oblivious.

The head of the Alliance made way for him, gesturing for him to go back and rest: "Then I won't keep you any longer. I'll invite you to visit me again after I've finished sorting things out here."

"Thanks."

Commander-in-Chief Qi nodded to him in greeting, and then followed the path he had cleared to enter his home.

Unlock, enter, close the door, cutting off the view from the outside.

Liernia arrived at the Human Federation. The Zerg, thanks to Major General Gao Tian, ​​were supporting the rapid development of the military. It seems the Alliance is in a hurry.
