Qingpeng Manor is the most famous family garden in the upper floor of Vaughn's Nest Capital, and belongs to the most private territory of the Vaughn's family. However, after the arrival of the Expeditionary Force, Earl Vaughn generously presented it to the Expeditionary Force, as the temporary residence and residence of Soshyan, the commander-in-chief of the Expeditionary Force, in this critical world.
The manor covers dozens of hectares of land, with carefully trimmed bushes or beautiful flower beds. A decorative river passes through the manor, and it flows through private pipes and natural river water from the pollution-free underground river thousands of miles away. The river is full of glittering fish. More than a dozen bridges of artistic styles have been built on the river. It is said that each one is from the hands of a master, and standing on the bridge is picturesque.
Walking in the manor, statues and memorial stones are everywhere, from ancient pillars engraved with plain inscriptions to ornately decorated modern sculpture portraits, these portraits depict characters wearing uniforms, riding horses or waving swords, as if commanding a charge.
With an artificial, exaggerated natural beauty, it breaks the glittering decorations around the spire of the nest and the depression brought by the industrial chimneys of the nest. It is a place full of vitality, the echo of nature that has nowhere to hide in the nest, and a dreamy place that countless people in the nest will never see throughout their lives.
At this time, in the rising sun, a giant wearing a silver-gray robe was walking on a forest path with a one-armed old man wearing a political commissar's military coat. The road passed between the trunks and stone tablets, and the chirping of various alien birds from time to time came from the treetops.
"I've made you wronged, Arik Political Commissar."
"There is nothing, and those people dare not do anything to me. They just sat in a room for two hours."
When passing by an artificial lake, Soshiyang stopped for a moment, looked at the few white waterfowls playing on the clear lake, and suddenly sighed.
"Thank you so hard during this period. You have to work so much at such an age. If the people of Hamigeddon knew that I treated their heroes like this, I wonder if they would call me an exploitative ghost behind their backs."
"Haha, the commander-in-chief was joking."
A smile appeared on Yarik's wrinkled face, taking a deep breath without any contaminants, and even selling fresh air as a commodity in the nest, he said:
"I don't even think I'm old. Once I'm convinced by it, it means he's not too far from death. If you agree, I'd also think of going to the front line to directly command the troops to fight the enemy."
When Suo Shiyang heard this, he also grinned.
"Yes, no matter when, you are still the warrior who stands unyieldingly in Hades."
"Oh, if it really comes to the end of my life, I just hope that I can die on the battlefield, not on the hospital bed."
After a moment of silence, Soshiyang said slowly:
"Some things I didn't want to bother you, but recently, there have been varying degrees of energy shortages, famines, and riots in various war zones of the Great Vortex. You are in charge of recruit training and troops dispatch. I want to hear your opinion."
“Um…”
After pondering for a moment, Arrek said softly:
"I have also seen some reports on those things. Many recruits were not even recruited, but volunteered to join the army because they had at least one ration stick to eat... A joke, in places where the scarcity of supplies, the higher the quality of the soldiers, but the materials and equipment required for training often delayed and shortened. For this reason, the training time had to be shortened from three months to two months. Correspondingly, the death rate of recruits in the first month increased from the initial 31.56% to 42.11%, and it continued to rise. Moreover, due to the forward movement of the front, the situation of the transport fleet being attacked by scattered Red Pirates gangs became more frequent, and the losses of transport ships became increasingly difficult to accept... This further led to difficulties in transporting personnel and materials, and many recruits lost before they even went to the battlefield."
As he said that, the old political commissar paused.
"As for the famine and riots... when Hades fought against Greenskin, everyone was pushed to the limit. The pain of the flesh, the sorrow of the soul, the fear of death, and the hunger that made people mad, devoured us all the time, but in the end we persisted."
"Why?"
Arrek raised a finger.
"It's very simple. If people eat a ration stick, then I will eat half. If people sleep for four hours, then I will sleep for two hours. If people are injured and only take painkillers, then I will not even take medicine and only use bandages... At that time, the anger of the people of Hades was not without, but everyone knows what war is. The people of the empire are the most tenacious, tenacious, the most righteous, the richest spirit of sacrifice and dedication. It may be that suffering does not mean that they must be inferior to others? When they have nothing, but some people enjoy more, how can they not be angry or complain? But when the people who lead them are willing to set an example and enjoy less, everyone can share the joys and sorrows, and no matter how difficult the moments are."
After listening, Soshiyang was speechless for a long time, and the two of them just looked at the lake quietly-
A few minutes later, thousands of words turned into a sigh.
"If every manager of the nest could do this, the Empire would have long since attacked the Eye of Fear and pulled Abaddon out and paraded in the streets and made public... Forget it, these things can only be resolved slowly. What is the situation in Sagan during this period?"
"The envoy has been communicating with officials from various departments of the Empire and the nobles of Chaodu, and even came here to meet him from other planets and galaxies. The chaos during this period is unrelated to him. As far as I know, he not only lifted the jurisdiction ban, but also implemented accurate tithes, restored the conventional tithes of the Empire, and transferred the fleet of the Ministry of Justice, which was originally used to investigate smuggling to carry out other so-called tasks. In addition, the Director General of the Expeditionary Force Logistics Station mixed with non-expeditionary forces to recruit personnel, making smuggling more rampant, and a large number of military supplies were transferred to the black market. Many worlds also needed to bear the conventional tithes of the Empire when they were undertaking war taxes, that is, accurate tithes," he said.
Soshiyang nodded thoughtfully.
"I understand. Call you here so early, haven't had breakfast yet?"
"Uh, ah, don't bother, I just need some military rations."
"Ha, what else do we need to be polite? Come on."
Soon, the two came to a building called Shouyan Pavilion. The building area was 3,000 square meters. The main part was concrete, tile and stone structure, and the attachment part was pure glass structure. It had huge ornate bronze and stained glass parquet window vaults. The red tile was interspersed with white striped granite walls. It was based on the pop art style of the 36th thousand year of the Human Empire and added the beauty of Baroque elements, which was particularly eye-catching in the huge lawns and flowerbeds.
After entering the main entrance, the red carpet in the center of the hall is directly located. The spiral columns extend to the ceiling. On both sides are luminous aristocratic statues in uniforms and brocades. At the end are dark brown wooden stairs, window frames, door frames, sand-colored walls, crystal chandeliers and other decorations maintain the classical style of the construction at that time. Oil paintings, carvings and glass parquet windows all exudes a mysterious and solemn atmosphere with a sense of age. Especially the large stained glass parquet window in the center of the dome. When the morning sun shines in through the colorful patterns, it makes the house as mysterious and solemn as a church.
