Chapter 26
As night fell, an attractive aroma wafted out from the camp of the exploration team. Of course, this aroma was not emitted by the uninformed female college students, but from venison kebabs, deer waist kebabs, wild vegetable mushroom soup and sweet wheat cakes. The delicious food cooked by Weiss personally made the teachers and students who had been busy all day and praised them. This craft was not learned temporarily by Weiss to please the ladies. In the harsh environment of guerrilla warfare, he and the soldiers fully carried forward the spirit of making fun of suffering, not only developed excellent combat skills, but also became a "foodie" who survived in the wild. This time, he asked for barbecue equipment and secret spices from Dad Maden, supplemented by superb hunting techniques. After a few days, everyone with the original dishes looked rosy and tired!
After eating and drinking, everyone sang and danced around the bonfire. Although there were not many girls here, the existence of the opposite sex made men show their strengths and actively perform. Weiss was repeatedly coaxed by everyone to sing to Professor Xiao Yang, and he was enjoying it. In the late night, everything was quiet. The tents used by the exploration team could shelter from the wind and rain, but the sound insulation was not very good. The snoring of the men always bothered the ladies. However, in order to prevent wild animals, they had to set all the tents at a waste mine entrance: the ladies' tents were placed at the innermost, and the tents used for work were blocked in the middle, and the outside was a large tent for men. In addition to the bonfires that were not extinguished all night, men were also arranged to stay at night every day to make sure they were all in order.
When he was in college, the sleeping talk was a "compulsory course" in every dormitory, and this internship research team mainly focused on students, naturally listed the conversation before going to bed as a "reserved program" every day. Before Weiss came, the topic of the sleeping talk was mostly about interesting things in life and celebrity gossip. After he came, the theme was changed to a golden sword and iron horse, and the glorious years. Out of admiration for heroes, students especially liked to listen to him talk about various experiences in the war years. Weiss told them As
The life of the Dun Military Academy talks about the dismal battles in the northern border and the tragic battles of the Aocheng battle. It also tells in detail how hard and arduous the Lorraine guerrilla warfare was in the first and second stages, and how to make it all the hard and sweet. These stories, Weiss had told Little Kemp before and also told Little Candy. When talking about them again, they were naturally clear in layers and appropriate in detail, especially those touching plots. He could say the affectionateness, as if the original scene was reappearing. Several times, female students started to cry as they listened.
"If there is another war, will you still go to the front line of the battlefield without hesitation?"
When a girl asks this question, the men probably think that Weis will definitely give a positive answer, but Weis clearly feels that someone in the tent inside is waiting for the answer with a nervous mood. He did not speak nonsense, but sighed: "I hope there will be no war again, and countries will get along well with each other. Even if there is a dispute, it can be resolved through negotiation. However, greed and violence are the demons hidden in people's hearts. Whenever there is a chance, they will come out to influence people's thoughts. Perhaps it will take thousands of years before people's awareness can completely suppress this demon and prevent war."
"If it is at the most critical moment, when every federal people have to take up weapons to defend their freedom and defend their homes, then I will definitely go to the front line without hesitation. But if the situation is not that bad, if the country has not yet given me a call, I will use our technology and equipment to provide the best resources for the federal army. I think a person's wisdom can never be as good as the wisdom of a collective, and a person's power can never be as good as the power of technology. Many times, we like to treat ourselves as heroes, and we also need heroes, but we should see that in a country like the Federation, strength depends on the unity of everyone, not the heroism of individuals."
After saying this, Weiss breathed a sigh of relief, and he also felt that someone on the other side was relieved. Professor Xiao Yang rarely participated in these conversations, because of her restrained and quiet personality. She was more willing to listen. Only when there were no outsiders, would she quietly tell her feelings to very familiar people.
"I really don't understand why the Normans came to invade us again and again. Is it because the Monamolin Mountains are not majestic enough, or is the Normans' own land too barren to invade other countries to survive?" A boy exuded the doubts and indignation in everyone's hearts.
The top military leaders and top experts in high-level military academies may not be able to explain this topic clearly. Weiss did not deliberately avoid it, but instead briefly said: "At the end of the war, I had the honor to visit the Norman Empire once. Although it was only two days before and after, we went deep into the hinterland of the enemy. In my opinion, the reason why the Normans frequently launched wars was neither because the Monamolin Mountains were not high enough, nor because their own land could not support themselves, but because their power class advocated expansion, was obsessed with military affairs, and formed a belligerent sentiment. However, this belligerent seems to be limited to those in power and military groups. The Norman civilians did not have any good feelings for war."
"How do you know that their civilians don't like war? Have you talked to them?" The boy asked a very direct and sharp question.
"No, I have not talked to them, but when performing tasks, I have observed their various behaviors and concluded this way. Of course, the people I see do not represent all people, and perhaps in their central city, everyone is a war fanatic, who knows?" Weiss said.
"In your opinion, is the federal stronger or Norman stronger in terms of national strength?"
"There is no doubt that today's federal states are stronger in terms of industry, economy and society." Weiss answered truthfully, "but the Norman Empire is not weak. Their centralized system has certain advantages in military mobilization and command, so they can take the initiative in the early stages of the war every time." Weiss said again.
Then, the boys asked the ultimate topic: "Why are we always passively beaten and cannot take the initiative to attack once to completely disintegrate their war abilities?"
Weiss replied: "The royal power can be done recklessly, but democracy can only follow the steps."
The day after this topic, Weiss got up at the usual pace and washed up. As soon as he washed his face, he saw Professor Xiao Yang looking at him quietly, without saying anything, just smiling.
In the soft morning light, this seemed to be a statue of a goddess.
Weiss felt the true feelings in her eyes and knew why she came, so he smiled and said, "Everyone has his own responsibility. I know very well my role and my own responsibilities. I have obtained all these. Although they have the temptation that ordinary people can't resist, I know what is the most valuable to me, and I also know how to protect those who deserve to be protected."
"Thank you!" Professor Xiao Yang said softly, "Since I learned the news of his death, I have fallen into deep sadness and can't extricate myself. It is you who let me slowly walk out of this darkness, and it is you who made Xiao Candy feel the long-lost fatherly love again. Although it is a bit abrupt and transcendent to say this, after all, it is just a childish childish word of a child, but you have indeed given her warm care like the sun."
Seeing that she was about to cry at any time, Weiss couldn't lend her shoulders in public, so he used a not-so-funny joke to resolve this embarrassment: "I said such thanks early in the morning, as if I wanted to say goodbye. Are you going to drive me away?"
Professor Xiao Yang smiled indeed: "Do you only say thank you before saying goodbye?"
"This is often the case between my friends and I! Look, Nicholas has helped me so much here. Only when she left did I express my deep gratitude to her. Well, I just bowed and kowtowed to her!" Weiss said.
"But you often say thank you to me." Professor Xiao Yang said.
"You are different." Weiss responded without hesitation.
Professor Xiao Yang asked: "What's the difference?"
Although Weiss is not a master of picking up girls, in that era of developed information, some old-fashioned but practical picking up girls were impressed... He smiled slightly and said in a firm and gentle tone: "You are you, the only one you!"
A happy day and work was particularly smooth. With the successful completion of the fourth exploration point, Professor Xiao Yang used her professional analysis to calculate that there is an oil and stone mine in this area with a reserve of s. According to federal industrial standards, the maximum reserve is expressed by ss. The quality and scale of s-level have reached a very suitable level for commercial mining. Although gold is not buried underground, its economic value is actually comparable to a large gold mine. Once these high-quality oil shale are mined, according to the existing refining technology and the quality of these ores, the oil produced should be no less than the total oil consumption of all the equipment of the federal army in the previous war.
Of course, in the last war, the number of aircraft and vehicles that the Federal Army put into the battlefield was limited, and they were all lightweight equipment, and the fuel consumption was not as good as that of the flying fleet. With the advancement of military technology, modern mechanized troops would sooner or later appear. When the overwhelming aircraft and the mountains and fields became the masters of the battlefield, these fuels would probably be enough for a few months!
Weiss stayed in the exploration team camp for ten days, and life here is simple and comfortable. Although he lives in a different tent with Professor Xiao Yang, he washes together in the morning, eats three meals, and walks together in the evening... If time is endlessly circulating here, he will only have this simple and repetitive lifestyle in the future, maybe he will not be tired of it even after a hundred years. However, this is not an isolated small world. On the eleventh day, Sir Wise sent someone a message saying that the governor's election has reached its final critical period. Judging from external feedback, Weiss has a great hope of winning - among the four candidates interviewed by Liberty Weekly, he is the most popular among the people. Even if Weiss can be calm, as a party involved, he must show off in front of the public, canvass and express his gratitude to everyone.
He reluctantly bid farewell to Professor Xiao Yang, and Weiss returned to Somsonas. It has to be said that Sir Wise has put in some effort for this matter. In just ten days, campaign posters can be seen everywhere in the city. Since returning to Lorraine, Weiss has been the "darling" in the eyes of his hometown. Under the influence of this atmosphere, he passed by the city along the way and was warmly welcomed by the people along the way, as if he once again defeated the enemy and returned triumphantly.
A few days later, Weiss made a series of "displays" in the towns around Somsonas according to Sir Wise's itinerary arranged in advance. Although the speech was not well prepared, simple things were often more convincing. In his speeches everywhere, Weiss talked about Lorraine's advantages and disadvantages, the necessity of industrial development, and the existing achievements and future prospects. Since he returned to Lorraine, he has added tens of thousands of jobs through the development of the Klumber-Hesen factory and the Lorraine Industrial Alliance. The construction and development of a series of factories are real and visible achievements.
As the election voting day approaches, all signs indicate that Weiss has taken the lead in this competition, but he still has a mentality of focusing on participation, rather than regarding being elected as the only goal of the election. This calmness and calmness make him perform more dignified in the final stage than all his competitors.
Campaign Day finally arrived, and the other candidates were doing their best to make their final efforts. Weiss got up early in the morning to vote for himself, then returned to Clumber Heisen Castle, and had fun playing with Kemp and Little Candy for a day. The next day, he also drove a farm plane to the north of Lorraine for a pesticide spray. The dispute outside seemed to have nothing to do with him.
Under the full supervision of the Federal Security Supervision Department, the election results were announced a few days later: Long Klumber Heisen received more than 45% of the vote, a full ten percentage points more than the second place. According to the federal constitution and local Lorraine law, he was elected as the first governor of Lorraine after the war, with a term of four years.
What is the concept of a governor? Local provincial officials and senior officials. During the war, Weiss fought hard and was a guerrilla colonel, and was barely considered a deputy division level. In other words, it was three levels lower than the governor. If we look at it from this perspective, becoming a governor through elections is equivalent to "three consecutive levels of promotion", if we consider that he is a pure civilian status after retirement, it would almost be "one step to reach the sky".
