Chapter 13 Chapter 12 Shining the Galaxy

The following is selected from the third volume of "Aimei Xiaozha": "Xingyao Galaxy" "For decades, many people have made systematic comparisons between Phidias and Hein in various aspects. Indeed, as characters who dominated the entire galaxy at that time, the two of them have the same Similar historical status and mission, and no distinction in terms of military talent - the weakness of the alliance in the end was entirely due to its own combat effectiveness and complicated internal contradictions. A fatal flaw. It can be said that he just tried his best to prolong the existence of the alliance.

"On September 16, 42 years of the cosmic calendar, he did not hesitate to use his own life as a bait to set a trap. In the Battle of Ankara, he contained and destroyed nearly 40% of the military empire's forces at that time—this time the destruction was so thorough, So much so that after his death in battle, the empire still didn't have the fighting power to annihilate the alliance in one fell swoop!" "It is said that the reason why the governor did this was not only because of the force of the war, but also because he knew that his life was coming to an end due to the long-term injection of Sima Ice Body—so he chose to die vigorously."

"It's like the sun that died out a few decades ago!" "Guardian warrior, son of the sun, sun soul... that black-eyed governor has devoted his whole life to his country and its people. He lives a simple life, has a silent personality, and doesn't even have personal preferences. Many people think that, compared to Governor Miguel Hein's life was bright and upright, with clear convictions, and the third Marshal of the Empire is much more elusive—” "In the 37th year of the cosmic calendar, who would have imagined that he, who was only a major general, would dare to coup d'etat? At that time, the army he controlled did not even reach two-tenths of the entire empire's strength. However, he rebelled. !—Betrayed the uncle who single-handedly raised him and cultivated him.

"If it blocks his way forward, even the orbit of the stars, he will change it!" "However, who would have thought that in the 44th year of the cosmic calendar, he, who had already become the ruler of the empire, would turn around and leave without any regrets when he was only one step away from creating the great cause of unifying the galaxy!" "If he feels lonely, even if it is the whole galaxy, he will just let it go." "Such reckless behavior makes it impossible for anyone to guess the true thoughts of the ruler at the commanding heights of power. It is complicated and indistinguishable-this may be everyone's opinion of the third marshal of the empire: Bisha von Phidias' comment."

"However, I personally think that those previous comments on Marshal Phidias and Governor Hein are strangely misplaced-in fact, their personalities are exactly the opposite of the conclusions of later generations. Just the opposite!" "Marshal Phidias seems to be a complicated person, but the real thoughts in his heart are quite simple and clear—whether it is his decision to insist on finishing high school when he was a teenager, the idea of ​​resolutely launching a coup when he was young, or the fact that he was only one step away from creating an unprecedented great cause. Turning around and leaving indifferently... Behind these seemingly incomprehensible actions, in fact, it is all caused by the rebellious and free nature of this genius - just like the words engraved on his tombstone: "

"Free as the wind." "What is really puzzling is the governor of the Sun-Galactic Federation, Miguel Hein. This black-eyed soldier with firm beliefs and clear goals, who is known as the 'Guardian Warrior' and 'Son of the Sun' by the people of his country, is watching Behind the seemingly simple character, there are too many surprising doubts—his origin was originally a mystery, and he did not reveal a trace of the truth until his death in the 43rd year of the universe calendar. However, those rumors circulating in the old alliance Rumors about the governor's life experience are still being exchanged privately.

"If those news are true, then the Governor's biological parents are actually Mrs. Colleen Xiao, who is honored as the 'Mother of the Nation', and the first Governor of the Sun Federation: Anthony Fernando!" "After her deceased husband assassinated Marshal Disraeli who founded the empire, as a heroic widow, Mrs. Colleen Shaw was surrounded overnight from an ordinary woman to the highly anticipated position of 'Mother of the Nation', and spent her whole life She had no choice but to sit in that position—however, was all of this what she really expected in her heart?

"As the mother of the country, she not only shouldered a heavy burden of government affairs, but also became a moral role model. She could not disclose her love affair with the then Governor of the Alliance to the outside world-if Hein is really the illegitimate child of the two of them, then in his The day you were born into this galaxy, you were already doomed not to be recognized by your parents and society!" "However, the 'orphan' with both parents was not buried in the dark. Governor Hein struggled from the lowest level of society, and finally stood in the middle of the historical stage with his own outstanding ability-could it be that all this is just In order for that pair of high-ranking parents to focus on the orphan who was abandoned on the desolate planet?"

"Governor Hein has never acknowledged his identity in his entire life. Even after he was in a high position, his attitude towards the female consul and the governor who gets along day and night is very cold, no different from how he treats strangers. He is such a calm and thoughtful person, resourceful and resourceful. , self-control and nobleness—if it weren’t for the fact that his methods are sometimes too harsh and vicious, in all aspects, he is almost a saint.” "In the war, his method of using all means to win the victory has been criticized by later generations. The most prestigious assassination organization in the alliance, code-named 'Southern Cross', was also established by Hein alone—in this Under the plan of the terrorist organization, the military empire successively lost three pivotal leaders, including the then second most powerful person in the empire, Secretary of State Admiral Marlin.”

"However, despite the shadows in the governor's character, even if his original intention to protect the people of the solar system is questionable, his whole life has indeed been burned for the sake of the country and the nation. "According to the memory of Albert, the guard officer next to Phidias, when he detonated his flagship and opened the nuclear explosion reaction chain, Hein had the last conversation with the Marshal of the Empire. When reaching for the detonation button, the last words left by the Alliance Governor in his life were as follows—— "'My life is about to come to an end. Why, don't you want some applause, Phidias?' At the last moment, the 32-year-old governor said to the Imperial Marshal on the other side of the screen, and there was a faint smile on his usually calm face. smile."

"In the flagship command room one light-year away, Marshal Phidias raised his eyebrows and looked at the strongest opponent in his life, stood up, and applauded slowly——When the applause sounded, Hein pressed the nuclear explosion button, dazzling The white light immediately annihilated the smiling face of the Governor, and the astonishing explosion spread rapidly to the surroundings under the effect of a chain reaction. The imperial troops surrounding the Alliance Fleet had no time to retreat, and the entire Fourth, Ninth, and Eleventh Legions were instantly terrified. Destroyed by human explosion!" "'Hein, you are amazing...' This was the only comment the guard heard from the marshal—after that, Phidias never made any comments on this strongest opponent. "However, when looking back at history decades later, everyone clearly discovered that since then, the life of the Marshal of the Empire began to be barren—that was the prelude to Phidias's sudden departure two years later." ——"Aimei Xiaozha Xingyao Galaxy Chapter" The popular comment above was taken from Mrs. Montecy's second work two years later: "Aimei Xiaozha"-since the article is only a personal comment on history, it has a strong personal emotional color. Perhaps because the author's personal relationship with the red-haired girl will inevitably affect her objective attitude towards historical events, for the sake of fairness in history books, she wrote these words in her informal private notes. "When Daisy died, she was 24 years old, and it was in full bloom. That year, Marshal Bisha von Phidias was 30 years old, and Miguel Hein was 29 years old-both It was the peak period. "However, for more than fifty years after Dai's death, I have been thinking: what kind of status was my red-haired friend in the hearts of those two big men at the time?" "The mind of the Marshal of the Empire is relatively easy to understand. In the last three years of his life, anyone around him can clearly feel that he is different from the past. Therefore, it is also easy to understand why Phidias The mystery of dying in Hydelaware after disappearing——The marshal known as the rebellious "God of War" has always had indescribably complicated feelings about this "model". He wanted to surpass Disraeli all his life, but Unknowingly, he stood in the shadow of God of War. "After the tragic death of Daisy, the marshal himself suddenly discovered this, right? That's why he drove the Aurora space shuttle all the way to visit the hometown of the God of War. "However, the assassination in High Delaware was the end of the gray irony in the life of this brilliant soldier! "History is always repeating ironically: like Karl Disraeli, Phidias lost his only lover forever; like Karl Disraeli, he unexpectedly withdrew from the peak of power Retreat; Even like Disraeli, he was assassinated by the remnants of the solar system on the Hydelaware planet!! "If Phidias could speak afterwards, he would have smiled wryly and said, 'Why did he die in the same way as that damned Karl?'—however, the wheel of history ruthlessly rolled over him like this. "According to the eyewitnesses at the scene at the time, after discovering that the woman beside him was carrying a body bomb, the Marshal of the Empire should have had the opportunity to push the assassin away in an instant—the chances of surviving in this way must be much higher. However, all witnesses All the witnesses unanimously testified that when the assassin claimed to avenge Governor Hein and detonated the internal bomb, Phidias hesitated at that time—it was that moment of hesitation that asked the military genius Life! "50 years later, in the unfrozen top-secret files, I found information about the female assassin who assassinated the Marshal of the Empire at that time—however, what shocked me was: the assassin who had plastic surgery to get close to Phidias actually had a An ordinary face that resembles silk. "In an instant, a thought rose from the bottom of my heart—— "The third Marshal of the Empire wasn't assassinated! Did he just choose to die? ... It was also a free and genuine choice! I'm afraid he really can't stay in this empty galaxy any longer .” "A year ago, I went to the park called 'Dream of Green Island', in order to look for the red mulberry tree that could serve as a witness—— "What I witnessed was not the history of the imperial marshal and the general's daughter, but the past of the boy named 'Bisha' and the red-haired girl...Since the preservation of this park was the last order of the imperial marshal when he left, so for decades It has been well protected there, and not even a single plant or tree has been disturbed. "However, when I came there, I found that the red aurora tree that Dai gave Bisha as a birthday gift had already died and turned into a fossil! ——A thin alloy wire was deeply strung into the In the trunk of the tree that grew up, the tree eventually died. "I stood under the dead tree in silence for a long time, as if I heard whispers from many years ago. "As for that young man named Bisha, the string formed in his heart at the age of seventeen did not loosen with the years, but also gradually formed a dead knot, right?——Such a weak fetter, actually strangled like this Gathered the soul of a strongest man! "Compared to the Marshal of the Empire, what is the status of my red-haired friend in the heart of the black-eyed alliance governor? I have thought about this for a long time-until I am now very old, whenever I look at the courtyard I can't help but ask myself this question in the bottom of my heart. Has he ever loved her? "During Daisy's lifetime, she never mentioned any special topic related to the governor to me. After her death, I looked through her belongings and found nothing to prove the special relationship between them—the only It was Daisy who mentioned gratefully that Governor Hein took care of her when she first went into exile in the Sun Federation. "However, for the governor, that kind of effort is just one of many similar incidents, right? "What's more, Daisy and I have never been aware of how we were once used by the governor as a weapon to restrain Phidias intentionally or unintentionally! Maybe until we realized that we were made into a human bomb by Hein , My kind red-haired friends are all sincerely grateful to that person, right? They even trust him more than they trust Phidias! "However, the two of them killed Dai together—they had been rivals all their lives, but in this matter, they were the real accomplices! It was these two hands that pushed the process of history that pushed Dai to death. To death, let her life fall like a shooting star in the night sky!" "I have been thinking: In the heart of the governor who made Daisy into a body bomb with his own hands, what kind of feelings does he have for the red-haired girl? When he pulled off the second button on the military uniform and put it in the dying girl's hand , What is his heart? Is it guilt? Is it compensation? Is it hope? Is it a hopeless confession? No matter what the intention of making this silent promise, the governor who has always followed his word has always stuck to it— ——Until he died in battle at the age of 32, there was never a second woman in his life. "Perhaps, that person who is called the 'Son of the Sun', although he has been tossed in the flames of war all his life, has been longing for another kind of quiet and peaceful life of ordinary people in his heart - that person's life only exists for war and nation , does not exist as a man. Daisy is the only warmth he has come into contact with, but it is out of reach. Perhaps, just as compensation for sacrificing the girl's life, the governor put all the emotions in this life into her palm, so that She took it with her at the end of her life." "I can't guess what he really thinks in his heart, because there are too few materials left for research. "Of course, many people will say: Dai is such a weakling that she was not worthy of either of the two masters of history at all - being caught in the torrent created by them and being torn to pieces is the inevitable end Bar? "But—is Dai really that weak and incompetent? "She has her own dream—a very simple but wild dream: As a student of the Department of Landscape Architecture, she thought that there would be green grass and trees on every planet in the Milky Way! She used to persevere in chasing after the flames of war. That green dream, even within a short year of settling on the Shianti planet, began to study new plant species—— "However, as soon as the experiment had a small success, that planet was engulfed by the flames of war... and of course her tiny dream was engulfed together. In fact, in such war-torn years, when her life was like a candle in the wind, , her dream will never come true... "However, if she was born in the same peaceful age as Phidias is now, she should be able to become an outstanding botanist and gardener-her contribution to mankind may be better than that of a professional soldier. Phidias is stronger! "How lucky she was to meet him, but how unfortunate she was born in troubled times! "During Daisy de Moore's short life, Phidias and Hein were just two distant dreams that passed by her... They met like duckweed on the dark sea, But they went their separate ways with the flood." ——"Aimei Xiaozha Xingyao Galaxy Chapter" However, before this work was published, it encountered unprecedented resistance. The official claimed to the author: Such an over-emphasis and analysis of the private life of the third marshal is at odds with the image of the marshal that the government has been vigorously shaping—however, in private Someone told Mrs. Montesi that the real reason was that a certain leader of the top empire was extremely disgusted with such an article. Is it Marshal Kennan? After visiting the mansion of the former marshal with the manuscript again, Mrs. Montesi was told by the old marshal with a wry smile: that person was not him, but—— "Ah? After so many years, does that lady still care about this?" Mrs. Montesi also had a wry smile on her wrinkled face—it turned out that the resistance mainly came from the widow of Marshal Phidias, three The female Secretary of State who has been at the helm of the Reich for over a decade: Mrs. Alicia von Phidias. Fifty years of wind and rain have passed by silently, and the capable and beautiful female ministers of that year have all gray hair. In the fifth year after the death of Phidias, the thirty-five-year-old Alicia married the president of the Federation of Independent Planets Da Couric, thus ensuring that the originally weak empire's economy would survive after the war was settled. Rapid development——However, the long years have not wiped out the female politician's love for her ex-husband. Although the last marriage was also for political purposes, in her heart, she still regards Phidias as her husband And comrades-in-arms, never changed. So Lady Alicia Couric dedicated her life entirely to the Empire, marrying herself to work and politics.After the death of Phidias, she and Marshal Ulysses Kennan took charge of the regime and military power of the empire respectively, and jointly ruled the galaxy for 30 years-so that all historians of later generations regarded her as the In the turbulent era, the only great woman who stood up to many stars. "Respectable woman . Marshal Kennan sighed: "You also know that Alicia is dying now-so, we don't want to stimulate her against her will at this time. Mrs. Montessey, please postpone your work Publish it." After reading the manuscript, Marshal Kennan seemed to be moved by the persistent spirit of the female historian and the turmoil in history, and suddenly said to Mrs. Montessey: "Please wait a moment, I have something to give you—" Then quickly walked into the inner room. "I think it might be better to keep these with you?" Following the words, the old marshal spread his palms—— "Ah?—this is?!" exclaimed Mrs. Montesi in a low voice. Two buttons.One gold and one silver, a slight metallic cold light shone in the palm of the marshal—it seemed to reflect the demeanor of the two influential figures back then, soaked in the blood of the red-haired girl! "I hope they are worthy of my wife's collection." Marshal Kennan whispered. In return, Mrs. Montessey delayed the publication of "Amy's Little Letters" by a full year--at that time, Mrs. Alicia Couric's funeral had just been held. After the release of this notebook, it caused a huge sensation in the military empire. "Everyone, what I write is not a biography of a hero, nor is it a heroic epic. There are no tall images in the article that people need to look up to. The people I describe are just ordinary people like you and me. From my perspective, I recorded their growth, pain, choices, and... love." On the title page, the female historian wrote so. This kind of work that interprets history from a new perspective and looks at leaders from the perspective of ordinary people has caused a huge response in the galaxy where peace and development have become the mainstream, especially among young people who have not experienced that war.And the leaders of the new government, in order to cater to the trend of history, also changed their consistent stance, formally recognized the identity and status of the red-haired girl, and pushed her to the foreground as a symbol of the pursuit of peace and stability. However, at the time when she became famous, this female historian who had been collecting historical materials and silently guarding the historical truth passed away on a rainy night... She was already 82 years old when she died, and she was older than her unlucky red hair. The friend lived 58 years longer. "Dai... I, I finally let your name be passed down together with those two people..." As he was dying, a faint wry smile appeared on the old man's face, "You, you must blame me for being troublesome, right? " In the second year after the old man's death, that is, in the 88th year of the cosmic calendar, the park called "Dream of Green Island" was converted into a memorial hall by the government. Openness—whether the parties are willing or not, all of this seems to have been recorded in history. Of course, in this period of history, the name of that ordinary, delphinium-like red-haired girl has been preserved forever just like those dazzling stars—all of this may have been unexpected by the parties involved. ? "Well, my hobbies? ——It's just these flowers and trees." "My greatest wish is to have green grass and trees on every planet in the galaxy!" "I hate war... When will this battle end?" she used to say.Said some very ordinary words, lowered his head, frowned, and smiled shyly.However, such an ordinary woman, as a faint voice of peace in those war years, has remained in history forever—— Until a hundred years later.
