Chapter 42 The Two Soldiers of Fontainebleau
New South Star Second Military Region.
At this time, in the intelligence room of the underground base of the military region, Smai, as the commander of the military region, was listening to the report of his subordinates Chen Yu and Du Ziqiang, "I received the information that a battle was taking place in the Congo town, 6,000 kilometers away from the military region. According to the information we received in advance, it should be the Workers' Party of Cohen. I don't know what forces the war broke out with... and the battle seemed to be moving to the military region. Should we take the initiative to attack these gangs?"
As the commander of the base, Smith is a middle-aged man in his forties. This is his fifth year at the border base of New South Star. He naturally knows the complex and harsh situation of New South Star. There are indeed mafia like the Workers' Party of Cohen. From time to time, some overseas smuggling forces will open black markets on New South Star. Even extraterrestrial space pirates have obtained various subsidies and supplies through these underground black markets, and then they will rob cargo ships in the airspace near New South Star.
They also don't know about this. Even in their military districts, people go to the underground black market every year, exchange some materials, smuggle luxury goods, and send them to their families far away in the mainstream society of the Empire. The Imperial soldiers actually deal with smugglers, mafia, air thieves, and various filthy forces. It sounds a bit incredible at first glance. But this is the fact.
New South Star itself is a resource planet that collects autonomy. The industrial zones divided here are handed over to various forces and companies for autonomy. To put it bluntly, they are military outposts, not policemen. Their only purpose is to serve as outposts on the border of the empire, and they only play a symbolic role in representing the boundary of the empire. Perhaps only enemy troops invade the border and the outposts in the star area are warning and cannon fodder.
However, during the long service period, the desolate and scarce materials here bring to every soldier in garrison. However, they must fulfill their mission as a warning for the frontier soldiers here. As for the so-called New South Star mafia and black market smugglers, as long as they are not too excessive, they will not restrain them. In fact, they have no power to restrain them.
The New South Star is too big, and the outposts invested by the Empire here are far from reaching the point where they can fully control the New South Star.
So even as imperial soldiers, under the constraints of the environment and all aspects, they did nothing at all. Even this sub-military district is just a symbolic existence.
The only way to make such a stagnant day stir up huge waves was that the military police officers of the Imperial Bureau of Investigation captured Major General Sipon's arrival not long ago.
Although the soldiers serving here at the Second Military Region station for up to ten years, they had never seen a battalion-level non-commissioned officer in the Xipang Empire, let alone a major general.
So you can imagine the excitement that this incident aroused at the base.
However, after these Bureau of Investigation officials were imprisoned with the captured Major General Stan, they were not willing to accept the arrangement of the Planetary Patrol Fleet to send ships to transport them back to the Imperial Capital Star. Instead, they waited alone at the Second Military Region's garrison to wait for the arrival of the Imperial Bureau's task force.
During this period, the Investigation Bureau officials almost took over the entire base with their privileges, and even the commander of the resident Smith had to obey their opinions.
At this time, Jia Ding, an official from the Investigation Bureau who was in the intelligence room, spoke coldly, "Support? How to support? Empty the base to participate in the boring gang war? So that the base's defense is useless? Let's repeat, we are escorting the imperial criminals. If something happens in this process, no one of the personnel in your base will escape."
"Then let the right direction advance to the military region until it threatens our military region?" Chen Yu turned his head and looked at the Investigation Bureau official. In fact, during these days, people around the base had a breath of breath and had enough of the domineering behavior of these Imperial Investigation Bureau officials.
"Threatening the military district?" The Investigation Bureau official grinned absurdly, "Don't forget, what kind of forces are there outside the controlled area? The mafia smuggling madmen are fighting each other. Do you still hope that they will die less? The more people of this type of person are killed, the better... Do you still have to give them sympathy? What's more, just these forces give them ten courage and dare not come to the controlled area of the Imperial Military. How dare they provoke?"
"But there are also some civilians in those non-controlled areas..." Chen Yu argued with reason.
"Captain, you have to be clear, what responsibilities are you now? Are you a policeman? Are you an imperial soldier stationed on the frontier? Who are you sympathizing with for a group of people? Are the mafia's families? Are the children and relatives of smugglers? They are not even imperial citizens but black black soldiers. As an Imperial Bureau official, I have reason to suspect that your ideological tendencies are very problematic," said official Jading.
Chen Yu and Du Ziqiang were speechless for a moment, but the fists on their hands were getting tighter and tighter. Looking at Jia Ding in front of them, Du Ziqiang clenched his teeth. But they also knew very well that the seriousness of the accusation was enough to destroy the first-class sergeant officers in the military district camp.
Sighing, Smith, as the commander of the resident, spoke to his two subordinates, "I understand that you are so eager to stay here that you want to exercise your muscles and desire to try, but you must be clear that responsibility is not a joke, nor is we a policeman. Our current task is to guard the resident in front of us, because we are currently in the outpost. There are prisoners who are very important to the entire empire."
Chen Yu and Du Ziqiang knew very well that the so-called exercise of muscles and bones in front of him was not the case. After staying in the garrison for a long time, they saw more and more of the customs of New South Star, and understood that some of the actions similar to the Cohen Workers' Party here, their massacre, violent suppression, and high-pressure rule... Even so, there are still many people in the mainstream society of the empire who are waving flags and shouting for such an organization, establishing a positive image, and obtaining more imperial social funding.
As the second garrison of the New South Star Military Region, soldiers who have lived here for many years have often seen this scene, they always clenched their fists, hoping to find an opportunity to show their colors to these gangs... However, for some reason now, they still cannot act rashly.
Smith said lightly, "The current combat ships braved the corona activity in the outer space to search for the traces of the air pirate warship... In this case, it is best for us to avoid causing trouble. No attacks are allowed when the other party does not threaten our military region."
From Smy's perspective, the situation at this time is undoubtedly not optimistic. The crash of the Tianma frigate outside the New South Star undoubtedly shocked the entire New South Star. The current star area airport fleet is launching a frenzy in searching, while the old foxes at the First Military Region station are watching the changes in their own positions. At least, their Second Military Region station cannot be in chaos. What's more, there is a major general of the Xipon Empire, Stan, who is also a spy on the Great Eagle Empire Intelligence Agency, and Xu Teng is controlled in the deep steel walls of the underground base.
The burden of their Second Military Region garrison is also quite heavy.
Smith knew very well that the two soldiers he had led. At the Fontainebleau Military Academy, Chen Yu and Du Ziqiang were the two most outstanding students under him, and the two most influential figures in that class.
Fontainebleau Military Academy has always had a tradition. The two most outstanding students who graduated from the college were awarded the titles "Fontaine" and "Bai Lu", the highest honor for the college name. They were as colorful as maple trees, as pure and cold as white dew.
It represents the highest honor that students who graduate from here can receive. "Fontaine" and "Bai Lu" were awarded to Du Ziqiang and Chen Yu respectively.
Originally, many people in the academy believed that the two people who walked out of here would immediately enter the Imperial Army Department, the Imperial Elite Mecha Unit, or a senior combat staff member. In short, many years later, the Imperial outstanding soldiers would be the "supervisor".
However, these two people went against everyone's expectations and gave up the most beautiful and hot girlfriend in the college, and gave up the olive branch submitted by the Army Department. They chose to follow the mobilized teacher S to enter the most remote New South Star Border Station as the most ordinary Mecha Battalion Captain Non-commissioned officer guarding the border base.
No one knew what they thought. The classmates back then were even extremely sad that they were the most stormy sons of their class who died like this. Even at the military academy class reunion, those former classmates talked about the fact that "Fontainebleau" was now stationed at the border of the empire. There was also an inexplicable superiority in regret. The hot and beautiful girlfriends who were always relying on by the academy were also married as wives, perhaps not as good as them in the past, but now they have status and power. Looking back at the two of them who are ordinary non-commissioned officers in remote frontiers, I wonder if they will be a little lucky? Do you think that appearance and temporary excellence are just castles in the air that blind women, and a superior material foundation is the most reliable guarantee for living in the present?
But Smith knew very well that these two most outstanding students under his command. For them, a comfortable life could not meet the brief brilliance of fireworks. They would rather burn their short life in the heat and appear alone in the place where the empire needs it most, than a life where the army was enshrined in a high position to spend their time by spending a cup of tea every day.
Swallow Birds always see the life that stretches under the white clouds, thinking that this is the sky, so they are easily satisfied. For birds who really dare to experience storms, how can they stand up to the death of Tai'an, who is guarding under the clouds for a lifetime?
Unfortunately, there are not many people in this world who know all this, nor are they too many people, and they can see the sky above the clouds.
So Fontainebleau... not everyone is called "Fontainebleau".
