Two fully armed soldiers walked out of the transport plane first, followed by several men in black wearing sunglasses. They covered their chests with their hands and quickly spread out after getting off the plane. They began to check the surroundings. After confirming that there was no danger around, they covered their ears with their hands and reported twice. Only then did a few new figures appear in front of the door of the shuttle.
President Glass looked at the figures that appeared in front of the door of the shuttle and said disdainfully, "What a delicate and prideful Earthling. You're really dishonest. In fact, you're scared to death. You didn't even turn off the engine of the shuttle, but you still forced yourself to come down. Did you do that just to show off your superiority as an Earthling in front of me?"
Xiao Ran rolled his eyes speechlessly. "Mr. President, if I remember correctly, you should have been born on Earth at your age, right?"
"Hahaha, that's right, but now I've abandoned my identity as an Earthling. I'm just a space immigrant." President Glass smiled and patted Xiao Ran on the shoulder, saying, "I forgot that you're also an Earthling. Hahaha, except for you. Let's go and welcome that group of arrogant and prideful people."
Xiao Ran smiled. He could also sense the mixed emotions in President Glass' heart. It was the kind of determination that came from making up one's mind to face it bravely after being in a dilemma. This kind of mood made President Glass reveal a more hearty smile than usual.
The figures in the shuttle slowly walked out of the cabin. President Glass also stepped out and walked down the stairs in front of the municipal building. He only stopped when he was about ten meters away from the shuttle. Xiao Ran and some other officials and officers also stood straight behind President Glass.
The people in the shuttle gradually got off the plane. A group of more than a dozen people walked in the direction of Xiao Ran and President Glass under the protection of about the same number of guards.
At this moment, Cruzet and Graham walked out of the entrance of the municipal building. They had changed into military uniforms without any military ranks. They stood in front of the entrance and looked in the direction of Xiao Ran's group.
Cruzet looked around and suddenly revealed a mysterious smile. "It seems like something fun is going to happen. Graham, don't you want to prepare?"
Graham was stunned. When he realized that Kreutzer wasn't focusing on Xiao Ran's group, but on the guards in black who were walking back and forth nearby, he immediately began to observe those guards in black. In less than three seconds, Kreutzer had already started to observe those guards in black. Graham frowned. "Something's wrong."
"Let's go." Cruzet nodded faintly. He took out a pistol from his arms and held it in his hand. He walked down the stairs unhurriedly and said, "Although I really want to see what these people in black want to do, if we really let them do it, I'm afraid that Xiao Ran will lose his temper. I'm afraid Xiao Ran will lose his temper and do something impulsive out of anger. That will be troublesome. "
The corners of Graham's mouth curled up. Like Cruzet, he also took out a pistol and followed Cruzet's footsteps. After checking the bullets and loading the gun, he said, "You're usually so calm and collected. I didn't expect you to be worried about this."
"Hehe." Cruzet smiled without looking back. He said, "No matter what, I'm still his follower. As a subordinate, I naturally have to do what I should do. It's fine if I'm calm and collected. It's fine if I just watch the fire burning across the river. It's just a change in my life. When I do things, I should act like how I do things. Although the means are not important. "
Xiao Ran, who was standing side by side with President Glass, looked at the man in front of him. This man was bald and looked to be about 60 years old. He looked to be about the same age as President Glass. However, he didn't have the toughness of a soldier at all. On the contrary, one could only see that this person was sleek and mellow.
The military uniform, which was supposed to support his tall and straight figure, looked a little funny when worn by this middle-aged man. Xiao Ran's round belly and fat body were supposed to reflect the temperament of a soldier when wearing this military uniform. However, he felt that it was a little awkward.
However, it was this fat man, who was smiling like a Maitreya, who had the highest military rank in the army other than the commander-in-chief. General.
From afar, he smiled and reached out his right hand to President Glass. It wasn't until President Glass also smiled and reached out to shake hands with him that the general said with a smile, "Glass, how many years has it been since we last met? When we meet again, you and I have changed from a young man to this. Tell me about it. We're already so old, but we still can't enjoy life. Sigh … "
President Glass shook hands with the other party with his right hand and took the cigar from his mouth with his left hand, which was holding a walking stick. He blew out a mouthful of thick smoke onto the fat general's face, causing the latter to cough involuntarily. Then, he smiled and said, "Aiya, George, you've really gained a lot of weight. The fleet can't be compared to Earth. Our lifestyle can't be compared to Earth's in all aspects. The young people here all yearn for openness, and only a conservative old man like me will stay in the fleet to look after our home. It wasn't easy for us to find a suitable place and was about to retire to rest. Who knew that something like this would happen?
Glass was clearly saying that there was nothing he could do, but the real meaning behind his words was to mock the bald general. He was mocking the bald general for being a coward who only knew how to stay on Earth and hide behind others. He was mocking the entire Earth Unified Army for looking for trouble for no reason.
A person who could become a general naturally wouldn't be lacking in intelligence. The bald general, who understood the meaning behind President Glass's words, smiled awkwardly for a moment. Then, he pretended as if nothing had happened and shook his head. "It's really been hard on you. Since you have the intention to retire, why don't you take this opportunity to retire and have a good rest? Let a capable young man take over. If you wish to return to Earth, that's fine too. I can arrange a suitable place for you."
"That's what I'm thinking, but forget about Earth. I think this place is pretty good. Tens of millions of people have worked hard for decades to discover this place. We've decided on this place and are prepared to treat this place as our burial ground. Earth is too chaotic, and the air isn't as good as here. There's no need for us to go back."
President Glass let go of the fatty's hand, implying that he and even the entire fleet of over ten million people would definitely not leave. He patted Xiao Ran, who was next to him, and said, "Speaking of capable young men, I happen to have one here. I was just about to take some time out to deal with my retirement. Since you've come at this time, I'll sincerely invite you to participate in the inauguration ceremony of the new president."
President Glass stroked his big beard and said with a smile, "The young man I've taken a fancy to is not bad. He's capable and smart. More importantly, he's strong enough. In the previous battle, he single-handedly took care of a MANF-class battleship and came out unscathed. Young people these days are really impressive. They have no choice but to admit defeat."
"But he's young, after all. Sometimes, he doesn't have to be as cautious as us old fellows. I often have to remind him. Just like last time, in order to suppress the rebellious fleet and the bugs that were still enemies at that time, he directly threw a space bomb on a planet. It was amazing. Not even a hair was left on the entire planet. When he came back, he was severely criticized by me."
Xiao Ran listened to President Glass's nonsense. Although he maintained a smile under the mask, his eyes had long rolled back. He admired President Glass's ability to brag.
The bald admiral pretended to be surprised and looked at Xiao Ran. A hint of sharpness flashed in his eyes. Then he smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad. This young man has guts and is capable. He's indeed a qualified successor. Glass, why aren't you introducing this young talent to me?"
Glass pretended to be surprised and said, "Why? Don't you know him? Isn't he the Xiao Ran wanted by your Earth Unified Army headquarters? Hey, I say, you guys can't even keep such a capable person and still want to arrest him. Is there some misunderstanding? But let me tell you, how you want to arrest him is your business. But for me, he's my successor, the next president of the 25th Fleet. "
Glass had deliberately pointed out Xiao Ran's name and even pointed out that Xiao Ran had been arrested by the Earth Unified Army's headquarters. Furthermore, he said that no matter how much they wanted him, they wouldn't care about the 25th Spaceship Regiment. This was also to tell the other party that the Earth Unified Army's orders didn't affect the 25th Spaceship Regiment.
Glass said it straightforwardly, but it made Xiao Ran laugh bitterly in his heart. The reason why he wore a mask was because he wanted to hide his identity for the time being. Although he knew that it was impossible to hide, he only hoped that the conflict would not erupt so quickly and directly. However, Glass's words made Xiao Ran's preparations go to waste.
President Glass's words made the bald admiral unable to maintain his smile. The expressions of the people behind him also changed.
The bald admiral George fell silent for a while. His previous smile had completely disappeared. He looked at Glass with a sharp expression and said, "Then from what you're saying, this fleet doesn't care about the headquarters of the Earth Unified Army?"
President Glass took a deep puff of his cigar and exhaled a mouthful of thick smoke. At the same time, he said calmly, "We're an autonomous fleet. We'll consider reasonable requests according to the situation, but we'll never agree to unreasonable orders."
The bald admiral asked again, "Then, you also completely rejected the previous request made by the Earth Unified Army?"
