Chapter 467 Xiao 5 goes home 17
After Sirong's treatment, Admiral Wei Lan woke up a week later.
After a few brief greetings, Sirong and Muchen had the opportunity to speak to the admiral alone.
Facing Admiral Azure, the two did not hide anything and told him the whole cause and effect of the matter.
Xiao 5 also connected with the admiral. He started to whine excitedly at first, and then he started to talk a lot, telling the admiral about all the worlds he had been to.
Admiral Azure, lying on the hospital bed, just listened quietly, with an extremely gentle smile on his lips, even with a bit of indulgence like an elder watching a child chattering, without any interruption.
After a long time, when Xiao 5 finally came to an end and Sirong and Muchen finished telling their stories, the ward fell into a brief and solemn silence.
It was then Admiral Azure's turn to slowly recount the cruel truth of his attack in a calm and slightly hoarse voice.
"People like me, who climbed out from the bottom of the world, from an abandoned mining planet that couldn't even be numbered, and finally reached the threshold of admiral,"
His voice was low, but every word carried weight. "In the entire history of the Interstellar Alliance, there are only a handful of such cases."
The road to advancement is not just about fighting on the battlefield. It is also paved with thorns and traps of human hearts.
"From the moment I showed my talent at the Military Academy," his blue eyes were calm, "those century-old chaebols and wealthy families at the top of the power pyramid swarmed in like sharks smelling blood.
Their strategy is clear and efficient: before the unpolished talent fully blossoms and enters the core decision-making layer, they either pay a large sum of money to buy it off and bring it under their wing, or they establish an alliance and use it for their own benefit.”
"Their goal is simple: to ensure that everyone who reaches a high position speaks with one voice."
Ensure that in any key decision, the 'consensus' at the top is solely the plutocratic view."
"And I," Wei Lan said with a complicated smile on her face, a mixture of exhaustion and absolute pride, "I am the biggest surprise and failure in their plan.
Let their century-old 'old routines' be completely shattered and shattered in my hands."
When Wei Lan was admitted to the military academy, the first thing he did was to marry his childhood sweetheart.
This kind of thing is still rare in Interstellar.
Everyone knows that for people in the interstellar space, as long as they can be admitted to a military academy, it is equivalent to landing on land.
Once you cross this class, you will live a different life in the future.
So before this, many people would choose to be single, or break up with their lovers back home immediately after entering military school.
There are very few people like Wei Lan who go against the trend.
Of course, at that time, Wei Lan was just an ordinary student in the military academy, and not many people paid attention to him.
So there was no obstacle to his getting married and having children.
"When I entered the school, my mental strength was average, but I was predicted to be a good candidate to become a mecha warrior. But no one thought, including myself..."
There was a sharp glint in his eyes.
"Through the tempering of my will and systematic training at the military academy, my spiritual power finally transcended the mundane and reached the legendary 3S level.
When I was on the battlefield, I was a fearless person. I was always the first to charge, and my military achievements and rank soared like a blazing engine.
It was from that time that he came into the sight of the chaebol.
Admiral Azure can pat his chest and say this proudly.
He has basically tried all the methods that the aristocratic families can use.
What beauty traps, money temptations, and designed suppression!
I used all kinds of tricks on him, including creating misunderstandings and making his lover think that he had character problems.
He resolved all of these one by one.
He would hand over the money he was given.
When he meets a beautiful woman, he simply ignores her.
Designing a suppression is even simpler, just use military merits to speak for yourself.
As for alienating him from his lover?
Just kidding, he and his wife have been together since they were three years old, growing up together and studying together.
It can be said that he himself does not understand himself as well as his wife.
It is not easy to drive a wedge between the couple.
Until he was promoted to general, these people had not come up with any effective solution.
It seems that Wei Lan is still on the rise, especially since he is very popular among the people.
The head of the Interstellar Alliance is elected by the interstellar people through public voting.
This is what the chaebols fear the most.
At this rate, it won’t be long before Admiral Azure becomes General Azure, and then wait until the head of state takes office.
Wei Lan is likely to become the next leader of the Interstellar Alliance.
Admiral Wei Lan has expressed his views in many interviews.
That is, don't engage in internal strife. The interstellar army will only fire at the Zerg.
He came from a small planet and knew very well the attitude of the Interstellar Alliance towards planets like theirs that were short of resources.
Grab what you can grab, and destroy what you can destroy.
After squeezing out all their usefulness, they are simply abandoned and turned into garbage.
They don't care whether the humans living there are dead or alive.
He struggled to climb out and wanted to say a few fair words for those living at the bottom of society.
So he kept moving up, hoping to reach a position where he could have a say and decision-making power through his own efforts.
But what would happen if the chaebols heard his remarks?
If you only focus on fighting the Zerg, how are we going to make money?
How can we make our family stronger and how can the children in our family make a name for themselves?
Not every member of the family can be as outstanding as you, okay?
Didn't we go to so much trouble to turn our family into a chaebol, just to enjoy privileges?
Now someone suddenly jumps out and says that everyone should be equal. If we don’t deal with you, won’t we appear weak?
Then Admiral Azure accepted their routine operations.
Since you don't want to take the soft offer, why don't we just make you disappear from the world?
So when Admiral Azure happily returned home to see his daughter, they bribed his guards.
Caused that pirate attack.
This is the situation, simple and old-fashioned, but for those chaebols, it is the most effective way to solve the problem.
After hearing this, Sirong and Muchen couldn't think of any words to comfort the admiral.
Just say that he just woke up and his body still needs to recover, don't think too much about it.
Fortunately, his escape capsule landed on this garbage planet, and the people of the Situ family were pretty good. They had been trying to protect him through their own efforts.
Just before Situ and his son went out, they had already told General Wei Lan about it.
His eldest son, the one who joined the pioneer team, found him and tried to send the news of his safety to General Wei Lan's wife.
But the admiral's wife was always under surveillance.
He couldn't get close.
