In the Space-Time Bureau, General Sheng Xia, who should have retired honorably, was unfortunately exiled after she impulsively "slandered" her superior before her departure.
Waking up...
Chapter 84 Difficult
"She did it on purpose."
After getting out of the icebreaker police car, Fu Qianshen, seemingly unable to contain himself, said this to Wei Jie beside him. Turning around and seeing that Wei Jie still seemed to be still unresponsive, Fu Qianshen added, "I wasn't sure before, but judging by her reaction just now, she clearly understands the consequences of doing this. She wants to become a martyr."
Wei Jie: ...
After a few seconds of silence, Wei Jie frowned and shook his head firmly, rejecting Fu Qianshen's idea. "No, she doesn't want to be a martyr. That doesn't match the girl I know. From the first day I picked her up at the port, she's been fighting tooth and nail. So, she would never plan a martyrdom ending for herself."
Fu Qianshen: ...
The two stood together in silence and looked at the sky again. Wei Jie suddenly mentioned that the first batch of students under the government-sponsored study abroad program would be sent out tomorrow. If Fu Qianshen had time, would he like to come over and help send them off?
"Is this considered an escort mission?"
"No." Wei Jie lowered his head and shook it, then told Fu Qianshen with a mixture of pride and worry, "My daughters have been selected. I'm going to see them off tomorrow as a father. How about you come and accompany me as a friend?"
Fu Qianshen: ...
"Have all the people in the study abroad program been admitted to universities?"
"Most of them..." Wei Jie lowered his head again. "Honestly, sometimes I really worry that this trip out will be a disaster. In the past, people of our social class would just be ordinary workers after leaving the country. Getting citizenship was already a good life on Zenith. But now, people like my daughters are going to elite universities abroad. Will they...will they be bullied? Will they be looked down upon?"
When Wei Jie said this, Fu Qianshen had already reached out and pressed heavily on his shoulder. Everything happened too fast, just like forcing the growth of seedlings. No one knew what the price would be.
But the path we can take now is already the best path. If we don’t send people out and keep them on the planet Volk, if a war really breaks out, wouldn’t all the education these young people have received in the melting cave be in vain?
He didn't care. He had seen the best scenery so far. It wouldn't be a pity if he died, but nothing could happen to the next generation of the planet Volk.
"Perhaps our planetary commander can't predict what will happen in the future. She is still groping for the answer. She can only do her best to solve the problem at hand and do her best."
Fu Qianshen's words made Wei Jie, who had unconsciously bent over out of worry, subconsciously raise his head. Then he swept away the worry in his heart, reached out and patted Fu Qianshen's shoulder while nodding seriously: "Yes, let's do the practical work first."
At the same time, Ji Zhuifeng and his group were on the other side of the ice-breaking police car. They accidentally heard the conversation between Fu Qianshen and Wei Jie. They all clenched their fists unconsciously, and then loosened them as if nothing had happened.
The next day, at the starship port on the planet Volker, Wei Jie was stunned the first time he stepped into the port. He felt as if he had just received Sheng Xia from here. At that time, he did not know the power of Sheng Xia. Now everything has been turned upside down.
"Father." Suddenly, his eldest daughter called out to him, bringing Wei Jie back to his senses. He turned to look at his eldest daughter and the group of about 3,000 international students she was with, only to hear his eldest daughter ask him in confusion, "Are there that many people coming to our planet Volk now?"
Following the eldest daughter's gaze, there were tourist starships arriving in droves. Shengxia accepted almost all of these starships who had donated money in the background, and did not care that the popularity of the official live broadcast room would be divided by these people. Apart from asking Fu Qianshen to "protect" the personal safety of these people, there were almost no restrictions on these tourist starships.
"Yeah, I thought no one would want to come here at a time like this." "Are there spies in there?" "Is it really okay for us to leave now?"
Fu Qianshen suddenly appeared and pressed the shoulder of the student who had spoken. While the other person was startled, he also snorted coldly and "taunted" them: "You don't really think that we in the Federal Security Team are all vegetarians, do you?"
"Planet Commander, no, the safety of the entire planet is not something you little guys should worry about. The real thing is to go out and study hard."
Members of the international student group: ...
Wei Jie looked at Fu Qianshen and noticed that he had taken off his uniform and put on casual clothes today. He exuded an indescribable gentleness from head to toe. He couldn't help but praise him: "This suit suits you very well."
"Really? I figured since I was here to see you off as a friend today, I'd better wear some casual clothes. It seems I got the right outfit."
"Our starship has arrived." Suddenly, someone in the group of international students shouted excitedly. When Wei Jie and Fu Qianshen looked over, they found that the international students who had just looked worried were now filled with uncontrollable excitement and joy because of the upcoming starship.
Yes, even though the future was uncertain, I still went out in the end, and went to some particularly good universities.
Wei Jie couldn't help but smile as he looked at his eldest daughter's brilliant smile. The port passage to and from the starship was opened. Wei Jie originally wanted to go in and see her off, but his stubborn daughter refused his farewell, saying that she and her classmates were the same and she didn't want to be treated specially. Besides, everyone would take care of each other when they went out, so he should rest assured.
So, watching his daughter walking into the starship port with her classmates, chatting and laughing, Wei Jie smiled gently and waved at her the moment she turned her head, then signaled with his eyes that she should go with peace of mind, and he would protect the planet Walker.
After the government-sponsored students had all left, Fu Qianshen took a deep breath and asked Wei Jie, "Tell me, what else did you ask me to do? Just to send someone off? I don't believe it."
"Today is also the day when the commander of the Golden Fleet comes to meet with our planet's commander."
"What? I haven't heard of it." Fu Qianshen was stunned. He and Mo Siming hadn't met at all during this period. The news was kept very secret. In fact, he had heard a little bit about it. The attractive long-haired man who had been following Shengxia foolishly seemed to be the eldest son that the Sairos family had been looking for.
But after all, it was about Guishan, and out of absolute trust in Shengxia, he didn't want to ask more about things that Shengxia didn't let him know.
"Actually, regarding our previous plan to send students abroad, the Cyrus family offered to fully sponsor the students' expenses, including providing letters of introduction and recommendation to the relevant elite colleges. If they do, they can guarantee that all the students on the list we submitted to the Federal Bureau will be admitted."
"The price must be very high." Fu Qianshen looked at Wei Jie with deep eyes, but Wei Jie shook his head and said bluntly: "No, they said that they were impressed by the strong academic and practical abilities of the Volk students, so they are willing to fund these students to realize their dream of studying abroad. All they need is the approval of our planetary commander."
"Nonsense!" Fu Qianshen cursed, and Wei Jie couldn't help but curse as well: "That's just nonsense!"
But after he finished speaking, Wei Jie fell silent again, and Fu Qianshen noticed his abnormality and couldn't help but put his hand on his shoulder, as if to comfort him.
Wei Jie was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly blurted out something without thinking:
"I'm a little worried that the price they'll ask for is... to recruit our planetary commander."
"Before they contacted us, our enrollment rate was almost reaching 96%. However, as soon as they contacted us, the originally agreed enrollment was suddenly rejected for various reasons."
"Shengxia also realized that the other party was trying to put a chokehold on us, so she contacted them to ask what they wanted. In the end, they just said they were generous and wanted to support our students, and they didn't mention their own request at all."
"And then?"
"Then Shengxia invited them to secretly go to her office today and take their eldest son away with them."
Fu Qianshen was silent for a while, and then looked at Wei Jie in confusion, as if he wanted to ask him why he took leave today to send the international students off since things had come to this point?
"Shengxia told me to send a group of people out first, and she will deal with the people from the Sairos family."
"I've also previously discussed with An Yuan and Mo Siming from the Independence Army what they would propose if they came to make a request."
Fu Qianshen's heart suddenly trembled, and a huge sense of unease began to spread uncontrollably in his heart.
"Mo Siming bluntly stated that all the changes on Planet Volk are worthless in their eyes. Forget sending tens of thousands of people abroad to study. With the financial resources and influence of the Cyros family, even sending the entire planet to study and then replacing them with soldiers could easily be done."
"The higher the power, the greater the destructive power. Similarly, if they are determined to make things difficult for Planet Volk, then Shengxia's plan to study abroad will be shattered."
"But they haven't made any demands yet. On the contrary, they seem to be trying to curry favor with Shengxia, offering to cover all international student expenses unconditionally. This means that what they want...maybe it's Shengxia, our planetary commander himself."
Wei Jie said this and suddenly sighed:
"If Shengxia agrees to be recruited, her career will surely soar, and Planet Volker will also benefit from it. This is the best arrangement."
I understand. When Wei Jie said this, Fu Qianshen understood everything. If they still cared about Shengxia, they should not have raised any opinions when Shengxia wanted to be recruited. On the contrary, they should have congratulated Shengxia for being able to cling to such a powerful family.
Well, this is almost the final result. Facing the tremendous power of the Seros family, Shengxia will definitely not be able to resist. It all depends on the conditions that both parties come up with after the final negotiations.
However, Wei Jie still thought with tears in his eyes that the Cyros family was really smart. By recruiting Shengxia, they had completely gained actual control over the planet Volk. Although the current planet Volk was worthless to the Cyros family according to Mo Siming, with Shengxia's leadership, it was really hard to say how it would develop in the future...
Damn it! I thought I could finally be free and independent, but in the end I just changed my father.
At the same time, Shengxia felt deeply that the commander-in-chief of the Golden Fleet, who was smiling but hiding a knife in his heart, was difficult to deal with.
