Chapter 382 The Ordinary Life of an Assistant Military Attache
Yu Lian, an assistant military attache, suddenly came to the imperial capital during such a sensitive period and was burdened with such a sensitive past, which naturally caused a considerable uproar. What kind of demands did his arrival reflect on the empire and the community?
What, why do you think it’s so sensitive? Haven’t the Community and the Empire been coexisting peacefully for years? You know, since the War of Independence, there has not (theoretically) been any military conflict between the two countries.
Those who understand this kind of problem naturally understand it. Those who don’t understand it can only mean that you haven’t entered the industry yet. Go and experience it yourself.
In addition, although the empire has very strict news control, reporters from major newspapers and their affiliated TV and online media are still quite well-informed, and may even be better informed than some ordinary middle- and lower-level officials.
Probably because of this, Yu Lian's arrival caused a considerable amount of uproar among certain people in Tianyu, so this press conference was held.
Judging from the quality of the visiting media, at first glance, I thought it was a change of master. No, it is impossible for ordinary ambassadors to have such a battle. It was comparable to Mr. Qi when he officially took office.
In fact, as soon as they heard that the press conference was going to be held, Minister Counselor Mr. Bliss and Chief Military Attaché Major General Lal began to have stomachaches and faces throughout the whole process, and they looked as if they were ready to go to the hospital and lie down for a year and a half.
.
Bliss said that he had never heard of a mere assistant military attache needing to hold a press conference before taking office, and then quickly told Yu Lian that I was not targeting you.
Your Excellency the Ambassador said that within one day, the Information Office of the Embassy had received more than thirty requests for an exclusive interview with Yu Lian. So why not just be honest and do it all at once? Otherwise, just satisfying these interviews would cost Yu Lian at least
After a month, what else can you do?
“Our country is a political power established for the cause of national independence. It is a guiding light for all nations that are more oppressive than the empire. There is nothing to attach to the integrity of the country! Naturally, we must do things openly and honestly!” Mr. Qi said plausibly.
"But, but..." Mr. Counselor repeated the reading for a long time, then simply gave up and said: "But, there are many people in the press who know that Lieutenant Colonel Yu Lian has done great things in the Far Coast Nebula..."
“Don’t worry, the empire has issued a gag order, they don’t dare to ask.”
"No, what I mean is that this matter is still a military secret. So far, although there are some well-informed people in the press who know this, there are only a very few in the entire empire. We are now with the empire
There is such a tacit understanding that this matter has not happened. What if a press conference is held because of the arrival of Lieutenant Colonel Yu Lian, will it not arouse the imagination of people from all walks of life in Tianyu? "
"It's just to make them think too much! It's just to let those cowards in the Senate who are clamoring for war with us know that we are not afraid! We will save you money all day long!" Mr. Qi snorted. This is what he has trouble with, once he gets excited
I especially like to speak my hometown dialect.
“Shedi consumption!” Yu Lian gestured with a thumbs up beside him: “I just want to make those melons frighten and lose their tail juice!”
Mr. Counselor almost cried "Wow", but fortunately Major General Lal quickly pulled Yu Lian aside and said in a tone that was almost pleading: "Remember what I said yesterday? You promised it."
!”
Yu Lian looked at the haggard Mr. Bliss, and then at the sad look on Major General Lal's face. He almost started to tremble, and then smiled and said: "Anyway, the news that Mr. Ambassador is going to hold a press conference has been sent out, so of course we have no choice but to
Satisfied. Don't worry, Your Excellency, I will never cause trouble to everyone. Look at my piercing and particularly sincere eyes. I swear to the spirit of the universe that I will never engage in any provocation or other extraordinary behavior.
.Even if the other party provokes me first, I will do it! The entire press conference will definitely be held in a quite harmonious environment."
Yu Lian said it very sincerely, but Major General Lal really didn’t believe it. However, under the solemn and fighting-spirited eyes of Mr. Bliss and Major General Lal, the press release was still held as scheduled.
The process and results of the press conference made them very happy because nothing happened.
But they were also very disappointed because nothing really happened.
Let’s take a look at what Yu Lian said to reporters.
"I came with a request for peace. I hope to play my part in closer military exchanges between the two countries. At the same time, I also hope to see that the Empire, as a responsible big country, can take on the responsibility of guarding the peace of the universe.
Mission." This was the answer to the purpose of his trip.
Yu Lian responded this way regarding the confrontation between the full mobilization of the far shore fleet and the imperial fleet that took place around the New Year this year on the I Count Star Gap and the Lucknar Corridor.
"Conflict, no, the word conflict is too intense. Our country and the empire have always adhered to the principles of peaceful coexistence and cooperation. No matter what happens, priority will be given to solving it in a friendly and peaceful way. What, you
Tell us about the last time we were in the Lucknar Corridor? Oh, both fleets used expired star maps, and then accidentally ran into each other. The officers and soldiers of both fleets also took the opportunity to fully exchange views and enhance their mutual understanding.
Understand that in the end all problems were properly resolved in a peaceful manner."
So another reporter asked about last year’s Battle of the West End Galaxy, which was also the battle that made Yu Lian famous.
"What are you talking about about the ownership of the Gibraltar galaxy? The Galactic Civilization Council has reached a consensus! Moreover, this is a small disagreement between our country and the Kingdom of Cathay on the border issue. Sooner or later, it can be properly resolved through peaceful coexistence.
But what does this have to do with the empire?

Then, another reporter said that there are rumors everywhere in the world that Yu Lian is an outright anti-imperial hardline hawk, and whether this trip is some kind of diplomatic signal on behalf of the community.
"Not all exchanges between countries are planned, and occasionally they are caused by misunderstandings and accidents. Then, how to deal with these accidents given to us by the spirit of the universe depends on the wisdom of our contemporary people. We
There is historical baggage for the empire, and there are also different views on future development. Of course, there is competition, but we are all subjects of the spirit of the universe, successors of the enlightened ones, and members of a civilized country. So, cooperation, coexistence, and common
Development must be the main body of the future! We will naturally have reservations about some of the opinions of the imperial side, but we are also willing to respect their demands. Although there were some unpleasant misunderstandings in the exchanges between the two parties, everyone believes that these are all
This is a new chapter in history, and we still have to look forward!"
He paused and then said seriously: "In addition, I am extremely indignant at the subsequent fermentation of this matter and the spread of various rumors. I still want to remind the reporters present here to improve their posture level and not to
Always thinking about making big news."
The imperial reporters were all speechless, feeling as if they were facing a porcupine that they couldn't chew.
Of course, this may be due to the fact that each of them has probably been told by their superiors that they cannot directly raise any questions about the Battle of the Far Coast Nebula... No, the Battle of the Far Coast Nebula does not exist, and neither does the city of Kerna.
Therefore, facing Yu Lian's impeccable diplomatic rhetoric, they all felt that it was very difficult. They only felt that this young man was too ungrateful.
Counselor Bliss and Major General Lal looked at each other in confusion. Of course, as good partners who have been helping Mr. Ambassador wipe his ass for a long time, these two have a tacit understanding that cannot be matched by others, and they actually communicated with each other through their eyes.
“Is this the so-called Moon Man? Is it actually this model?”
“No, it’s just that he is special!”
“So what do we do now?”
“Of course nothing can be done.”
“Don’t you feel a little dissatisfied?”
“That’s you, I won’t. A calm day is a good day.”
Overall, the atmosphere of the entire press conference was indeed a bit strange, but Yu Lian did fulfill his promise, so Mr. Counselor and Chief Military Attaché were all satisfied. They all praised Lieutenant Colonel Yu Lian for being mature and prudent even though he was young.
When it comes to people, I definitely have people in my generation!
Journalists also felt it was very subtle. Although they found that they didn't get any news, they suddenly felt that their posture level had really improved a lot. This is probably the charm of language art.
Mr. Qi doesn’t care. All he wants is to send a signal through the press conference. As for how Yu Lian behaves, he doesn’t care too much.
Anyway, everyone in the empire who had ulterior motives, knew but pretended not to know, or really knew nothing, all knew about Yu Lian's arrival.
Everyone in the embassy seemed to feel that a storm was about to come. However, Yu Lian said that this was all an illusion and that as long as he did his own thing, it would be fine.
"However, isn't it said that Count Seliola personally invited you? But... Marquis Odegaard, who died in the Far Shore Nebula, was his most proud disciple. He was a psyker, and you are also a psyker.
What if someone comes and challenges you to a duel of honor?" Major General Lal said it was difficult to understand.
"A seven-ringed astral knight captain and imperial navy admiral launches an honorary duel against me, a newbie who has only awakened for more than a year? Where is the honor? After all, he has been in the industry for thirty or forty years, and he has lost everything.
Just take the whole person."
“However, there will be at least some reaction from the Astral Knights... Doesn’t it mean that the new tactics you proposed in the paper have been recognized by all walks of life? This is the superficial reason why the empire invites you, right?”
“It doesn’t matter, I’m not the one who’s anxious. Anyway, I’m also a distinguished guest they personally invited, so let’s use this status to death!”
Then, Yu Lian, who was stationed as an assistant to the military attaché, began his work as an "ordinary military attaché assistant" in a peaceful, harmonious and stable atmosphere.
In his first week as an assistant military attache, Yu Lian’s life was really peaceful, happy and healthy.
He would spend two hours in the morning reading in detail all kinds of official military newspapers and periodicals in the empire, and then bring a few professional intelligence analysts with him to start gathering the public. In fact, the so-called "legal and reasonable"
The main source of military intelligence is here. It is the job of the embassy's military intelligence department to collect and screen this information.
In the afternoon, he would follow Major General Lal and other military attaches to participate in some very routine military exchange activities. He was just an assistant military attache, a mid-level cadre with the rank of lieutenant colonel.
Of course, Yu Lian would occasionally move around freely. For example, on the third day after taking office, Yu Lian, as a naval lieutenant colonel, really drove the boat assigned to him by the embassy and went to the Hand of Glory Fortress with great swagger.
. He set up a filming equipment in the tourist area nearby - although the Hand of Glory Fortress is a garrison of the Forbidden Army, tourists are allowed to visit. After all, a nation full of martial virtues must cultivate a martial spirit from an early age.
Yu Lian knew that there must be secret police following him the whole time. He was even sure of the couple who came five meters away from him, the ice cream vendor at the corner square, and the inconspicuous white transport truck at the corner of the street.
, all of whom are members of the intelligence agency.
But even so, he still held the camera equipment and took a great photo without anyone noticing.
Then, after leaving the fortress, all the equipment he carried was naturally seized and inspected, and it took nearly an hour to return it to him.
Facing the imperial captain who had a zombie face and returned the camera to him, Yu Lianxiao asked: "Have the prices of various special alloys in the empire increased?"
The other party couldn't help but be taken aback.
"I've been here all afternoon, but not a single special transport ship transporting active metals has entered the port. This is different from the rumored Hand of Glory Shipyard where the sound of shipbuilding continues day and night!" Yu Lian added.
.
He ignored the shocked imperial officer and left with a smile as if he didn't recognize his relatives.
Then the next day, when he left the embassy and went to a nearby restaurant owned by Earthlings to have a toothpaste, he suddenly discovered that the number of intelligence agents following him had doubled again, and he became even more proud. So he resumed his normal military activities.
In the name of communication, I went to the Imperial Generalissimo's Palace with great swagger.
Didn’t you say that after the War God Festival, there will be a so-called joint naval exercise? At that time, observer groups from various countries will be invited to the scene. The reason why I came to be this diplomat is also to serve as a frontline.
In this case, Yu Lian is of course obliged to have normal business communication with the Imperial Generalissimo's Office. The other party can be passive and slow down, but he is a dedicated worker who loves his job, and he who deserves to be killed by a thousand swords is to be involved in the crime.
And I want to take your empire with me.
As a result, Yu Lianzi dragged an affairs director of the Generalissimo's Mansion and seventy-eight staff to discuss the list of members and reception standards for the Community Observation Group for fourteen hours, until they finally
The bodies of all the emperors and officials were empty before they swaggered back to the embassy.
When he found Major General Lal, his first sentence was: "The rumors are true, the Imperial Fleet is really having a hard time! The battle between the Prime Minister's Office and the Privy Council has begun to take shape. We can do something.
