Capital Star, this beautiful planet that embodies the pride of all Charno people, suffered two heavy blows. The bustling beauty of the past has long disappeared. Loess replaced the green space, and the crumbling ruins replaced the exquisite and detailed attics. These are the remains of the war. One of the most unforgettable memories for Charno. Heavy machinery is constantly shuttling in the air and on the ground. The hearts of the capital stars are full of perseverance and strength. They want to rebuild their home with their own hands.
Gu Qing drove a heavy-duty engineering mecha to lift a concrete block weighing four tons. Her dexterous and slender fingers fiddled with the rough joystick to place the concrete block firmly on the half-built wall. Before the war broke out, she was an economic analyst for an interstellar trading company. She was proud of her good income and happy family. But now she, like countless other Charno women, is contributing her share to rebuilding her home.
She is also a mother of four, and her husband died two years ago while guarding a resource star she couldn't even name. A year ago, she personally sent her eldest son into the military, and four months ago her second son also joined Starfleet. She didn't know where they were serving, or even whether they were still alive. This damn war had ruined her life, torn her family apart, and taken away her dear husband. Now the war has destroyed her home. More than once, she cursed this ugly war that took away her most loved ones. In the cold nights, she would hold her underage child in her arms and cry silently. Lonely and desperate, she would caress the bed that seemed to still have her husband's body temperature. Sad. She was so weak and helpless at this moment. She longed for her husband's warm embrace, and she longed to hear her husband's murmuring words of love lying in her hair when he embraced her, but the war took him away forever. This, damn it, war!
When the light of the stars enveloped the earth, the morning mist gradually dissipated, and the city returned to its hustle and bustle, Gu Qing wiped away his tears, wiped away the traces of tears, and greeted the arrival of a new day with a smile. She was so strong at this time. Everyone who saw her would be infected by the bright smile on this woman's face. You can find the silent persistence on her face, and she buried all her sorrows deeply. In the black eyes, you can read a woman's tenderness, perseverance, and never give up In Gu Qing, you can find almost all the virtues of a Charno woman. And there are many, many more people like her
There must be someone to hold up this broken home, and there must be someone to hold up this broken country that has been baptized by war. When the men have fallen, there are women, and when the women are exhausted, there are still the elderly, and there are children The Charno people It will never be defeated!
When the starship slowly entered the atmosphere, and when the hard-working people on the ground put down their tools and waved their arms toward the sky, Yi Lexiang felt a long-lost emotion surge in his heart. The soldiers gathered in front of the portholes and raised their hands silently. Their arms were performing a solemn military salute. Although they knew that people on the ground could not see them, they stood upright one by one, as if they were undergoing review. Their eyes filled with tears, and they burst into tears. At this moment, all the sacrifices and all the suffering seemed to It all paid off.
Why do soldiers fight? At this moment, there is a perfect answer. They are fighting for their loved ones, fighting for the country, fighting for Charno, and fighting for the millions of ordinary people who pray for their safe return day and night! For this reason, they are willing to sacrifice their lives, blood, and everything they have!

"What do you think?" Bo Jiangang handed a cup of steaming strong tea to Yi Lexiang who was muttering.
"" Yi Lexiang took a sip, "I don't know." He sighed, "I have some feelings. I seem to begin to understand why we are fighting."
"Oh?" Bo Jiangang nodded with interest, "Tell me about it."
"I have always had an inexplicable resistance to war. I always feel that it is stupid to use war to resolve mutual disputes, but I have to fight."
"What now?"
"Now?" Yi Lexiang put down the cup, stood up and walked to the window, "I fight for them!" He pointed to the vast world outside with his hand. The thick glass blocked the roar of the construction site outside, but from that vast The lively atmosphere can still be felt on Lu Lu's figure.
"The Capital Star tragedy destroyed Charno's center of power. The parliament, family, government agencies, almost everything was gone. When I first returned to Capital Star, I even thought Charno was finished." Bo Jiangang Walking to the window, he stood side by side with Yi Lexiang and looked at the busy construction site in the distance. He murmured, as if to himself and to Yi Lexiang, "But I was wrong! I saw the anti-smuggling team members who escaped death. Climbing up from the ruins, they spontaneously maintained order; I saw grassroots officials, who were rarely seen on ordinary days, commanding people to save themselves despite the grief of losing relatives and friends.?I saw soldiers who had lost their weapons, organization, and command systems picking up weapons from under the rubble, repairing broken starships, and rebuilding barracks; I saw countless Free Army soldiers salvaging every piece of equipment from the rubble day and night. life, using hands that put down their steel guns to provide everything they can to all those who need their help. "
Yi Lexiang suddenly felt ashamed. Where was he at this time? He left everything behind and rushed to the Divine Alliance. At that time, he never thought about this, never thought that there were countless people waiting for his rescue on this planet shrouded in fire and blood. He thought he was just a soldier. He never realized that he was nothing more than a soldier. A soldier also plays other roles and has many responsibilities.
Bo Jiangang seemed to have guessed what Yi Lexiang was thinking at this moment, "We are no longer simple soldiers. We have been no longer since the day when Marshal Bai died. We have lost the protection of our generous wings, but He has entrusted everything to you, this country and the countless people living in this country, and he hopes that you will always protect them. Do you understand?"
Yi Lexiang looked confused. is that so? he does not know.
"Bu Yun understood it a long time ago, so he was willing to stay in Annuoji, so that you could spread your wings and fly high. But I didn't understand until later!" Bo Jiangang shook his head with a wry smile, and he suddenly pulled Yi Lexiang He came to the front and put his hands on his shoulders, "So, you have to remember, you have to understand how important you are. You don't live for yourself, but for them!" He waved his hand and pointed out the window. , "So, no matter what happens in the future, don't take risks. During the time you were in the League of Gods, do you know how many people were worried about you? Lieutenant General Bu Yun, the old dean, those subordinates who are loyal to you , and there are thousands of people who regard you as the savior of Charno, and they pray for your safe return day and night!"
"Why?"
"Why? Because you are the only interstellar general in Charno, because you are the only super mecha god of war in Charno, and because countless people believe that you can save Charno. There are damn reasons that I don't know either. ," Bo Jiangang was a little excited, "Why does your fleet have endless resources? Where did you build so many new starships? Why do you have so many wonderful ideas in your mind that others dare not think of? ?Why? You shouldn¡¯t ask me this question, what you should ask is yourself, your own heart!¡±
Yi Lexiang looked at the panting Bo Jiangang in surprise. He had never seen Bo Jiangang so gloomy. Bo Jiangang stared at him, "Take a good look, look at the sky outside, look at the people outside." He pursed his lips tightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it out of anger. He turned around and left hastily.
Yi Lexiang stared blankly at the figure gradually disappearing, saying nothing for a long time.
Day and night cycle, day and night alternate.
When Yi Lexiang saw Bo Jiangang again the next day, he had regained his composure. "Trouble is coming!" He calmly handed Yi Lexiang a piece of paper, and Yi Lexiang waved it curiously. Nowadays, it is rare to see anyone using paper to convey messages. The surface of the paper was faintly yellow, and he knew that this was not because the paper was rough. This yellow color just showed that this piece of paper with a long history was worth a lot of money. There are a few lines of words written in the ancient Charno script on the paper, and the dragons and phoenixes are dancing, and it turns out to be written with a brush.
Bo Jiangang couldn't help but laugh secretly when he saw Yi Lexiang looking at the paper in a daze. Nowadays, few people know the ancient Charno script. Before coming, he specifically sought out the ancient language experts from the Scientific Research Department for advice.
"The alliance of superpowers?" Yi Lexiang scratched his head, "They are not looking for me because of Shangguan Yan's incident, right?" He looked distressed.
Bo Jiangang looked at him in surprise, "You actually know him?"
Yi Lexiang winked at Bo Jiangang and said, "Don't you recognize him?" Yesterday, he was scolded by Bo Jiangang for no apparent reason, and now it was his turn to retaliate.
"Cough, cough, you don't need to worry about this." Bo Jiangang coughed awkwardly, "What are you going to do?" Yi Lexiang threw the paper in his hand on the table, "What else can I do?" I have promised Shangguan Yan that as long as she tells us the truth, I will ensure her safety. People can't keep their word. "
Bo Jiangang frowned inadvertently. He had long expected Yi Lexiang's attitude. The problem is that the Alliance of Superpowers sent such a solemn letter, indicating that they take Shangguan Yan's matter very seriously. "Are you going to answer them like this? The above said that their envoy will come to discuss this matter with you in person."
"I'm going to tell the truth! They can't get Shangguan Yan's whereabouts from me. If they want to see Shangguan Yan, either Shangguan Yan agrees or they find her themselves. I think as an organization that still abides by some ancient traditions , they should be able to understand.¡±
