    "One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers." This is a proverb from ancient times. This proverb became even more famous after a great poet with a noble background added "especially a tigress".  For Dongxue, I can generally relate to these words.  When Li Qingdong went on the expedition with the Dongxue as an equipment maintenance division, everyone inside and outside the battleship knew of the existence of this beautiful maintenance division. Everyone in Linziying even knew that since their leader became successful, there has always been a looming figure of such a girl around him.  What's more important is that when the Xue Chuqing Company led by her delivers those advanced design drawings and modification plans to the Pandora Planet headquarters in Linziying, Linziying is always excited. Linziying's Science Department  Hexue Chuqing Company has always been the core research institution of Lin Ziying. Compared with the strict science department composed of scientists, the Xue Chuqing Company led by a beauty mechanic is undoubtedly more imaginative.  Not to mention that Li Qingdong, by himself, can keep up with the researchers of the Linziying Science Department in terms of machine repair and maintenance capabilities. Although many of them have specializations, not all researchers in the Science Department may focus on this area.  But it is still a legend in Linziying.  Now, with the task of preparing secret mechas, she has boarded the Dongxue, whose combat strength exceeds the destroyer level. Everyone in the battleship has a special feeling when facing her. Some of them have experienced this for the first time.  The first time I met Li Qingdong, I never thought that this beautiful woman who had been rumored inside Linziying would be so young.  And there is an inexplicable affinity.  But even the most talkative ranger in Linzi Camp did not dare to be rude in front of her.  Lin Hai¡¯s legendary deeds in the empire over the years were indispensable without her support behind her. All in all, everyone looked at her with unconcealable respect.  Therefore, Li Qingdong has always had a very special status on the Dongxue.  After Xia Ying, the target they wanted to protect in this military mission, arrived in the battleship, and Li Qingdong's words were heard by Xia Ying when she first arrived, the two women were on the same ship after that.  , the relationship is somewhat subtle.  After the fleet arrived at the Xima orbital circle, it carried out formal condolences. Xia Ying left the ship and landed almost every day. Accompanied by the army, she brought greetings from the capital star circle and the hope of rebuilding and restoring local order.  Whenever she lands to express condolences, people in the Space Fleet usually watch the local situation through live news sent from the ground base station.  The order in some places is still chaotic, there are thugs, theft and looting, and the country's administrative power has not been completely restored, but the arrival of the fleet and the arrival of the army will have a more or less obvious deterrent effect.  If the army is permanently stationed, the local chaotic order will slowly be restored. But unfortunately, the real secret mission now is only the military operation against the Shimonoseki Star Guards. It is just a hurried transit and cannot be permanently stationed. Faced with the situation in the area under attack  , it can only be helpless.  " Moreover, this kind of condolences mostly contains the elements of luring the enemy. The Lingwei spies must also be operating within the empire. Let them see the real progress of the condolences activities and make the people of Shimonoseki believe in the authenticity of this condolences.  Li Qingdong would occasionally see Xia Ying bringing funds and reconstruction plans to places affected by the war from places on the Dongxue where people gathered under light screens, such as restaurants, reception rooms, and entertainment rooms.  ¡°Perhaps for those people, it brings more hope.  Since then, Li Qingdong¡¯s look at Xia Ying has become much softer.  Sometimes when Xia Ying returns to the ship, it is already evening. Space time and land time are unified, and day and night time systems are also implemented in space.  Passing by the maintenance cabin, you can often see Li Qingdong's slender figure in front of the ladder in the cabin, negotiating with some technicians.  Through the glass in the corridor, Xia Ying sometimes looked at this woman who seemed to be in two different worlds from her, but who had an intersection because of Lin Hai.  That day, Xia Ying did not fall asleep early in the porthole room with a view of the planet. Instead, she made two cups of coolie bean drinks and went to the maintenance cabin.  Seeing her entering, the technical staff inside were stunned at first, and then quickly dispersed.  After they got out, they all piled up outside the cabin door, pricking their ears to hear what the two girls were doing inside.  Li Qingdong obviously didn't expect Xia Ying to walk in, and when he saw the two cups of brown drinks that she brought in that were still steaming, he squinted his eyes slightly.  "Do you dare to drink it?" Xia Ying handed over a cup of coolie bean drink in her hand. The raw material of this drink is produced from the fruit of an evergreen tree. It is a plant drink. It can refresh the mind, but the taste is extremely bitter, especially the concentration.  The higher it is, the more difficult it is to enter.  Li Qingdong, who was still wearing the black and white meeting uniform, raised her eyebrows. She took off her gloves, stretched out her white and tender hands with the cuffs still rolled up, took the drink from Xia Ying, and drank it all in one gulp. Her face under her flaxen hair showed a slight smile.  With a smile, she casually picked up a metal-style tin cup with ears placed on the ladder next to her, passed it to Xia Ying, made a small "chi" sound on her lips and said, "You can try what I usually drink."of.  " When Xia Ying frowned and took Li Qingdong's cup and took a sip, she found that the tin cup was actually filled with cooler beans with a higher concentration than what she brewed, and there was no additional addition. It had a bitter taste of charcoal,  It was hard to imagine that a woman with a girl-next-door temperament like Li Qingdong would often use such a drink, so she raised her eyebrows, "There are very few girls who like to drink cool beans like this. Sixty percent of the sugar is not added, only one-third."  Flavor enhancer, this kind of drink is generally difficult for many grown men to accept?  " Li Qingdong had enough time to stare at Xia Ying, "You are one of them.  " Unexpectedly, the two people's preferences were the same. People listening outside the cabin door did not expect that such commonality would break some of the barriers between the two. " When Li Qingdong was adjusting the alloy of the system mecha  Under the leg, Xia Ying gently patted the heat dissipation vent on the side wall of the mechanical leg, looked up at the mecha, and said, "Some people say it is a combination of demons and angels, a masterpiece in the history of human warfare, and a man's response to himself.  The most extreme expansion of freedom, like starships, is the wings of ocean travel and conquest.  In fact, I once hoped to drive it to fight" "It is indeed beautiful, but when inappropriate people master and use this power on a large scale, this is the source of pain.  Li Qingdong leaned against a mecha, "But you are also fightingjust in a different way."  " "You mean this condolence event?  Xia Ying looked out through the window, "I'm just retreating. Although it is to soothe the wounds of the war, the war itself still exists. As long as enemies like Lingwei have not been eliminated, when they need to cause a tragedy,  Accidents like the Xima Orbital Circle will still happen one after another When the source of misfortune is always there, what's the point of what I'm doing?  When I face those people and see the same despair in their eyes, why don't I feel the same way? What people want to say and ask is just because they have not said it out loud due to various reasons. How big is the impact of what I have done?  The meaning of "There is no meaning." Xia Ying shook her head, "Everyone knows that what I have done is meaningless. The sorrow on their faces still exists, they understand that the threat has not been eliminated, and they are eager for us to give answers. The country  We can make a difference, but we can't do anything yet. When the matter has not been completely resolved, the so-called condolences are just a show The troops who faced the wandering attacks of the Maguan Stars, faced with this  In a star field that is easy to attack and difficult to defend, everyone can only be a piece of meat on the chopping board, to be slaughtered by the Maguan Star Guards" "In this regard, the empire still cannot spare enough power to fight on two fronts under the current situation.  , and who knows that this is not the strategy of the Maguan Star to lure the enemy, and they want to launch a seductive raid on the Imperial Fleet that despises them? So far, how many troops have the Maguan Star gathered, and how many strong men are spying in the dark?  We know nothing about the enemy The only thing we can hope for is to follow General Humphrey and strive for a miraculous victory." Li Qingdong looked at the occasional meteor-like trajectories in the universe outside the window, knowing that.  In fact, it was the cruising trace of Humphrey's fleet's destroyer ship. Since entering the dangerous star field, the fleet that had been following them had dispersed. Humphrey formulated a strategy to carry out their revenge plan and equipment for the attack.  The ship's greatest destructive power lies in the moment it launches an attack from concealment, so strategically it cannot engage in a head-on confrontation with the Lingwei.  Humphrey is worthy of being a figure on the list of famous generals in the empire. Since the fleet entered the dangerous area, it has dispersed many combat formations and entered the star field for covert operations. He has almost disappeared. The communication between the formations has also been silent, only  Necessary communication between various units is carried out under the cover of cosmic electromagnetic disturbances.  After their Dongxue entered the danger zone, almost only Zhang Shuren's "Chang Guard" followed as a guard But in fact, they once saw Hindsey's tactically disguised "Crusader" at an airport.  "We drove towards each other, pretending not to know each other.  And as they travel through the universe, around those invisible cosmic spaces, the entire Humphrey fleet is actually accompanying them, traveling in those hidden passages, in the most inconspicuous and complex deep space of the interstellar space, and the sniffing detection  The ships are even more densely packed in the starry sky, just to catch the traces of the Imperial Guard Fleet.  So the Dongxue carrying Xia Ying seems to be alone, but the surrounding airspace is closely monitored by Humphrey and his subordinates.  But where are the Lingwei troops?  Where will they launch their attack?  Or maybe they sensed danger and gave up on Xia Ying?  "If possible, I also hope to pilot a mecha to deal a severe blow to the enemy who caused the suffering to our compatriots" Xia Ying clenched her fist and hit the armor next to her with a loud bang.  When he moved it away, the back of his fingers wiped a trace of blood on it.  Li Qingdong nodded lightly, "You are fighting in your own way, and we will leave this matter to us." "Thank you for your hard work." Xia Ying paused and said, "I know, I involved you, and  I am also at risk as bait for you.??This is a very unfair thing. I am the one who caused you trouble in this matter.  " When boarding the Dongxue, it was obvious that Xia Ying had listened to Li Qingdong's words. When she came to the maintenance cabin at this time, she seemed to also hope to talk to Li Qingdong. Li Qingdong was silent instead. For a moment, she  He said, "Unlike you, I am the daughter of the Minister of Defense. I am just a person who lives with my brother, the only relative left in this world after my parents died. I have also experienced the hardships of life, and I have also had a deep understanding of society.  With boredom and hatred It is undeniable that this country has many shortcomings. The lives of ordinary people are sometimes not so happy. Nobles and elites often gain more power and status beyond the law. Government officials also suffer from corruption.  The world is not always fair and just in the dark side. Those who are best at opportunism can live well in it.  On the contrary, people who are down-to-earth and hard-working may not necessarily be able to strive for a brilliant future What they pay does not always lead to rewards. On the contrary, there is no need to do too much, but some people can have wealth in one day that normal people cannot earn in a lifetime.  .  I used to resent all of this, but until I met Lin Hai, I understood a lot of things.  "    "Um?  "The bright gaps in Xia Ying's eyes widened a lot. "Fate is actually worse for Lin Hai than for me But he didn't give up on himself because of resentment. I once put myself in his shoes and felt that I couldn't help but resent  Even, if I had his ability, I might even take more radical revenge on all the sources of my hatredBut, he didn't do that. On the contrary, he was changing the world around him in his own way.  everything.  " Li Qingdong breathed a sigh of relief, "He was not changed by the environment or conquered by the adversity around him. On the contrary, he was changing the world around him.  " "This country has such and such bad things But the first thing I can see is change.  Many people are seeking changes, including even the higher-ups, the royal family.  Isn¡¯t that princess the one who makes people see hope for change?  The world is changing, and every era will have corresponding trends and melodies. There will be a set of methods that are more in line with the interests of the general public, so emerging forces will be born in the world and produce corresponding positive changes As long as we are not corrupted by the negative  Knocked down, one day this positive force will dominate this world and this country and make everything better.  " "If there is war, there will be peace.  If it is a dark age when people are in turmoil, perhaps it will usher in a peaceful age of piety and kindness.  " Li Qingdong's voice came from the maintenance cabin of the two people, in the cabin where rows of mechas stood like pillars. "So, I also understand the importance of a country's orderly existence. Someone once said,  Since ancient times, from times of rule to times of chaos, the people who have been hurt the most have always been the people.  If this country collapses, then we ordinary people will lose the most basic stability and dignity. We will be displaced and sacrificed for several generations at the cost of their lives to rebuild this order called the country.  " Li Qingdong held the crook of his right elbow with his left hand, and his flaxen hair naturally curled down. He slightly curved his lips and said, "So, it is not just you, the daughter of the Minister of Defense, who knows how to defend this country, even someone like me.  Orphans will also do my part.  " There was a long silence between the two women. After a moment, Xia Ying nodded and said solemnly, "I understand.  " She raised the cup in her hand, "May the empire last forever." Li Qingdong picked up his tin cup, touched it with her, and drank it down in one gulp. "May the empire last forever" for the two women at this time.  In other words, this may be the reason why they are both women and have different identities and roles, but they all join this war at the same time. They are all fighting to prevent the world from being reduced to cannibalism. Some time ago, they were hospitalized and felt that their life prospects were not good.  It¡¯s dark, but fortunately, everything is moving in a good direction now. I can still write a book for everyone. This is the happiest thing. Thank you for your concern during this period. I¡¯m sorry that the grilled fish is back.  Hold your pockets, if you have tickets, please give me a ticket, let me be satisfied, feel the presence of brothers and sisters just like breathing and feeling like a fish in water.
