Chapter 57: The unspoken rule of the general?

The empire's army went to the mine, facing the star Kougang.
The two teams crossed past, overlapping artillery fire.
Xingkou reacted and rushed back to stop the empire.
Lucas didn't go to the lion, and it was not necessary now. He just stood in the main control room of the battleship and gave orders to the projection screen and the Empire Broadcasting.
"Don't love the battle, keep the formation and rush forward! Our goal is to occupy the mine!"
This is a very risky move, because the mine is full of holes in all directions, easy to attack and difficult to defend.
Although the imperial army's action was to prevent the star bandits from winning the UNK, what Lucas should do is to pioneer the star bandits and take the best offensive method, instead of occupying the extremely ice mines that cannot be defended. .
But in any case, Lucas gave an order and no one would resist.
Anyone who is a sergeant has blind obedience and admiration to Lucas in his blood.
In this battle, Freeman was left behind and did not go out with Wang Qiuyang and others.
When he set out, Lucas had to concentrate on facing the battlefield, worrying about Luo Ran that he could not take care of, so it was Lucas' habit to leave him an adjutant he trusted.
Although Luo Ran felt that it was not necessary.
"Sorry, Lieutenant Freeman." Luo Ran and Freeman stood together in front of the battleship's window and watched the battle outside. Luo Ran turned his head and smiled: "I dragged you here."
Luo Ran said in his heart, these adjutants must have wanted to go out and fight in blood rather than watching in a safe warship.
"No!" Freeman said immediately: "The admiral asked me to protect you, I feel very proud! This is a mission even greater than war!"
Luo Ran: "..."
Luo Ran paused, still asking deathly: "You take the liberty to ask, why do you think so?"
Freeman earnestly said: "One, you are the admiral's companion, your safety and situation affect the admiral's state of war, and thus affect the peace of the empire! Second, you are the key to the continuation of the empire's outstanding heir! Rounding off, I protect The guardian of the empire!"
"..."
Luo Ran turned to look out the window, but did not answer.
Seeing Luo Ran did not speak, Freeman smiled and said, "Secretary Luo, do you like the admiral too?"
"..."
Luo Ran was quiet for a while, and said: "Naturally I like it."
But it's not like that, he doesn't know.
And he never thought that Lucas would seriously develop this kind of relationship with him, which was too far beyond his cognition.
He couldn't react at all.
Luo Ran smiled and changed the subject: "Is this the Extreme Ice Mine?"
"Yes!"
Looking out of the window, you can see the caves and machines underneath, as well as the warships and gunfire at war on both sides.
"Hey, I hope the people above don't use UNK to do bad things." Freeman shook his head and said, "I also hope that we don't pay attention to us."
If UNK really continues to study as the eldest prince wishes, then soldiers will inevitably be injected with UNK.
Freeman said: "I'm not afraid to die for the country, nor to fight against star bandits! But I don't want to be injected with drugs, die unclearly, lose my mind and hurt people, and become a tool for fighting only."
"The Admiral will not allow this to happen." Luo Ran said seriously: "Neither will I. The general's army has our own dignity. We are defenders, not zombies or tools."
Freeman grinned: "Yeah."
Boom
The battleship shook violently.
Outside, the Imperial Army succeeded in occupying the mine and used artillery to force the Star Banders out.
The battleship landed directly above the entrance of the mine. Even though the number was about the same as the star bandits, it temporarily occupied the top with better weapons and formations.
"It would be great if there was no UNK." Freeman said: "This thing is so crazy, can't the Empire not use it?"
"Impossible." Luo Ran tapped his finger on the window frame and said: "As long as UNK exists, someone will use it. The benefits are too great. It just depends on how people use it."
Drops-drops-
The warship suddenly sounded an alarm, and the original lights were all replaced by the red alarm light, which looked a little seeping.
"The system prompts all non-combatants to go to the foundation..."
"The system prompts that the main battleship is about to activate the S-class guide bow list..."
"Count down four minutes and thirty-one seconds..."
The monitor also projected a route map to the foundation on the wall.
Lucas' voice came from Freeman's intercom at the same time.
"Take Luo Ran to the foundation, his mental strength can't bear the loud noise."
"Yes!"
...S-class guide bow list?
it's here?
On the polar ice mine?
Luo Ran's eyes widened.
Everyone knows how powerful this weapon is, how could it be chosen here?
Could it be...?
"Secretary Luo, let's go!" Freeman said immediately, "I will take you to the foundation!"
If the empire wants to launch an S-class guide bow, the star bandits will be unwilling to show their weakness, and the battlefield will be covered by loud noises. The main battleship will also increase the air pressure in order to improve the defense capabilities, plus violent shaking, etc. Wait, if Lucas and the other soldiers naturally thought it was nothing, but ordinary staff in the battleship and Luo Ran who were mentally injured would have to avoid them.
"Okay." Luo Ran glanced at the direction of the main monitoring room, paused, and obediently left with Freeman to go to a safe place.
The closed foundation cut off the outside sounds and changes. Luo Ran sat down and leaned against the iron wall, staring at the only small round window in the foundation.
The window couldn't be opened, and because of the sealing, Luo Ran still watched quietly.
It was dark all around, and there were only two of them on this foundation.
"Secretary Luo..." Freeman sat opposite Luo Ran and said cautiously: "When Secretary Luo is cured, he will be able to go out and fight with the general. It is only a temporary rest."
Luo Ran couldn't laugh or cry: "Do you think I will be lost because I didn't post on the battlefield?"
Freeman said nothing.
"How is it possible?" Luo Ran said: "The admiral did not hire me to help him fight a war. In a war, he has you, Adjutant Lu and Adjutant Wang. My duty is to help him take care of his internal affairs and logistics."
Luo Ran smiled and said: "Everyone performs their duties. I am very happy to do my job well. Why should I try to burden the general if it is not in my field."
Freeman stared blankly at Luo Ran who was smiling gently and confidently.
He spends most of his time in the frontier, and is Lucas' most trusted adjutant in the frontier of the empire. He has only recently been transferred back, so he does not have frequent contact with Luo Ran like Lu Cheng and Wang Qiuyang.
He only now understands what Lu Cheng and the others mean by "golden partner" and "protect each other".
At this moment, Luo Ran found that the scenery outside the window was covered by white smoke and firelight.
Boom
Launched.
The entire battleship was shaking violently, and when I wanted to come, Xingkou broke the jar and used the same powerful weapon.
Xingkou’s artillery is naturally not as powerful as the Empire, but it is still terrifying.
After the white smoke gradually dispersed, Luo Ran vaguely saw the situation outside.
Luo Ran's eyes widened.
The entrance to the ice mine-collapsed.
The entire mine was covered by rocks and mud, and the geological fluctuations caused by the explosion caused the mine to sink.
Lucas took the stars together and exploded Jibing Mine, the production site of UNK.
Freeman also lost expression management.
"grass……"
They really blew up the M4 ice mine unintentionally. After all, the mine is not big, but they didn't expect that the accident gave Lucas... inspiration?
This is too crazy...!
The explosion affected the surrounding trees and land, and the entire ice mine was instantly razed to the ground.
"No wonder...no wonder!" Freeman clapped and said: "Yesterday, the general told me and Lao Wang to notify the falling ice. We must make sure that all the staff in the mine are evacuated. However, after the invasion of the Star Invaders, there was no one in the mine. There is no need for us to do anything... It turns out that the admiral had planned so early! But he didn't say!"
Luo Ran was also surprised.
He didn't even say.
Lucas is thinking about coming, and looking for an opportunity, after all, he may not succeed.
But Lucas did it in the end.
For the soldiers of the empire.
Also for Luo Ran.
No one can take away and hurt the lion.
Lions will keep their territory firmly.
Luo Ran stared at the small round window in a daze.
I don't know how long it took, and the door to the foundation was pushed open with a "touch".
The tall man stood by the door, bringing the light outside into the dark foundation.
The figure of Lucas against the light looked even more stalwart.
Luo Ran was a little stunned.
At this moment, the scene behind Lucas turned into a purple flower field.
Luo Ran thought to himself that his hallucinations appeared again.
In two days, Luo Ran would be able to distinguish between illusion and reality, unless he was too tired.
"It's over, come out." Lucas stepped forward to hold Luo Ran's waist, and came to pick him up.
Freeman thought he was a pickled fish and couldn't help crying.
Beautiful love.
Luo Ran followed Lucas away from the battleship and returned to the main control room.
The star bandits were defeated and fled again, and the empire also captured many people. At this moment, they are clearing the battlefield.
Since Admiral Alton killed the former leader of the star bandit, who is also the father of Fox Hunt, Lucas has been jumping up and down after taking office, plundering a lot from the empire, but he is in a frontal battle with Lucas. Never won among them.
For one, fox hunting is no match for his father, and for the second, Lucas is indeed very popular.
It is also thanks to the fact that Fox Hunt can still maintain its mentality, and continue to consume the empire, looking for opportunities to turn defeat into victory.
Luo Ran saw the bald crater on the outside and the big crater formed around the mine. He shook his head and said, "It's crazy."
"That is." Lucas grinned and smiled domineeringly, fearlessly.
Buddha blocks and kills Buddha, blocks and kills god.
Fearless people are always crazy.
"I want to know what the face of the crowd in the capital is now!"
"Since there is no way to use UNK well, don't use it! Save my army." Lucas held Luo Ran's waist and hurt his secretary.
...
After half a day.
Shi Xiuqi's trembling voice came from the conference room.
"Crazy! He is crazy! Admiral is crazy...!" Shi Xiuqi squeezed the report, not daring to say: "The admiral razed the ice mine in the Eastern District to the ground!"
"What's the excitement?" Second prince Zhou Mingjing folded his chest and raised his eyebrows: "It's just that UNK is gone. If the ordinary ice mine has all the ice, don't worry."
"The key is UNK...!" Shi Xiuqi's face was distorted.
After the M4 was destroyed, he felt distressed for a long time, now...
Shi Xiuqi people are going crazy.
"They soldiers...how can they not consider the development of the empire's interests!"
Many of the other supporters of the eldest prince also showed regrets.
No one expected that UNK would be blown up like this.
just this.
The previous dispute suddenly became meaningless. If a new UNK mine cannot be found in the future, then the Empire will not be able to use this new energy.
"Shut up!" Zhou Mingjing couldn't listen anymore, got up and "touched" the table top, angrily shouted: "The soldiers are on the front line to protect you corpse-positioned dog officials, you still have the face to say about them!"
Shi Xiuqi was taken aback, but he didn't expect Zhou Mingjing to scold him face-to-face, and he was taken aback.
Another supporter of the Grand Prince stood up and responded: "We naturally acknowledge and cherish the sacrifices of soldiers, but the situation is different now. The Second Prince does not have to kidnap morally. Mechas and warships are monitored, and the actions of the army have always been Under the supervision of the empire, we all know what happened in this accident. Originally, it was not necessary to do this. It could have kept the UNK ice mine. However, Admiral Lucas ordered the launch of the guide bow and deliberately exploded. Ruined the UNK mine!"
"Nonsense!" The supporters of the second prince also stood up and spoke. "According to the analysis, the general had every reason to make such a move to win!"
So the ensuing dispute became whether Admiral Lucas deliberately blew up the mine.
The war analysts on both sides have their own words.
"Enough!" The eldest prince Zhou Mingyu shook his head and said: "UNK has been destroyed anyway, no matter how noisy it is. It's just..."
The prince looked down and said: "Admiral Lucas blew up the UNK mine without permission before the Empire made any decisions. This is undeniably an arrogant violation."
"Yes." Someone answered, "The general holds great power. If the army's actions in the future depend only on the general's personal emotions, not the general interests of the empire, that would be terrible! Today he can bomb mines. Hole, he can blow up the capital tomorrow!"
These words immediately offended and angered the people in the military department. Several military lords in the military department had a grumpy temper, and immediately yelled and quarreled, and even almost started to do it.
It's a mess.
...
The situation in the capital has not affected Lucas, who is still out of town. Lucas is having dinner with Luo Ran at the moment.
After eating, Lu Chengcai sent a report to Lucas.
"Tsk." Lucas raised his eyebrows after taking a look.
As expected.
"What's wrong?" Luo Ran was a little uncomfortable, and wanted to return to work soon.
"The round table asked me to temporarily surrender the military management authority and ‘rest’ for half a month." Lucas rolled his eyes.
If you want to come to the prince, you want to weaken his authority.
Luo Ran frowned slightly.
"What are you afraid of, Zhou Mingyu tried so hard to win me a holiday, I am still happy." Lucas sneered.
The prince is too simple to think about.
Even if he rested for half a month, he and Luo Ran have not done nothing in the past few years. The military department is solid, even if he let go of the half-month-old prince, he could not swallow even a small bite.
He can't chew.
Besides, the empire has to rely on him to fight, how can it really "rest".
"In terms of public relations, I will do a good job, and will not discredit the general." Luo Ran said: "I will also pay attention to it after returning to the capital."
This means that he should return to work when he returns to the capital.
Lucas frowned slightly.
"Admiral, don't stop my work anymore." Luo Ran said helplessly: "I'm not so squeamish."
"Yes." Lucas said: "You have to change the terms."
"?"
Lucas pointed to himself and said, "I will let you go to work after a kiss."
Luo Ran: "..."
These years, the secretary can still sell his own future in exchange for more workload?
Tell me who believes it!
Luo Ran lowered his head, blushing and said: "Admiral, don't make trouble..."
"I'm not making trouble. If you don't kiss, you won't have a job." Lucas said confidently, "I'm fine, other bosses have to have deeper unspoken rules to work. I just want a kiss. It's already very fair and humane."
Lucas put his legs on the table and said with a smile, "Come here."
Luo Ran: "..."
Luo Ran took a deep breath, calmed his heart, and tried to stay sensible and coldly said: "Admiral, if I don't return to work, the workload will be more and more hoarded, and it will be me who will work hard."
"The most important thing is, if I haven't returned to check, then after the admiral passes power passively, a small mistake will cause serious consequences."
Luo Ran said in his heart that his work really can't be delayed any longer. And... he may have been abused out of Stockholm. These days, if he doesn't work or read official documents at all, he feels uncomfortable and feels a sense of empty time.
"If it weren't for your last sentence, I would really think how sensible and ruthless you are." Lucas raised an eyebrow and said, "I said, a kiss change."
"..."
"Luo Ran." Lucas smiled and said: "Next, I will have a holiday. Zhou Mingyu deliberately gave me time to pursue you. We can spend it slowly."
"..."
Seeing Luo Ran sitting upright all the time, still posing that alienated professional appearance, Lucas felt dry.
Little bastard.
Lucas didn't care so much, he got up and grabbed Luo Ran by the collar, and pushed the person directly on the table.
Luo Ran's eyes widened.
Then Lucas leaned over and kissed Luo Ran.
"Well……"
Luo Ran was firmly nailed to the table, Lucas pressed his forehead, so Luo Ran could only passively kiss Lucas.
Lucas has always had poor kissing skills, not much different from a big dog who bites.
The smell of tobacco made him dizzy, and Luo Ran suspected Lucas was deliberate.
But Lucas clearly thinks he is a Beta, why would he do this? Why use pheromone deliberately to tease...!
After finally ending, Lucas looked at Luo Ran intently, "If you were to give me a soft kiss earlier, it would be a matter of kissing the cheek, now you are asking for it."
"Admiral...!" Luo Ran gasped, with rare emotions, the corners of his eyes were red, and said with a little annoyance: "You don't make sense, it's too much."
"Yes, I am trying to unspoken rules for you."
Lukastain was open.
