[Thanks to brother Xiang, Su in the flames of war, 2000 started reading books and other brothers for their monthly ticket rewards! ]
After the two were seated, a series of delicious dishes began to be served. The waiter put these dinners on the silver plate on the table with skillful and flexible movements, and then opened the lids of the same color on the top, so that the hall was full of fragrance.
These are indeed some delicious meals that make people's index fingers move, especially what Allen eats most on the Rin Frost Star is nutrients. Now seeing these delicious foods, his heart is moved.
The dinner was divided into two, and Capulo and Allen had the same dishes.
The main dish before their eyes was a grilled lamb chop decorated with mint leaves and drenched in a fragrant sauce. The lamb chops are grilled to a golden brown, and they look particularly attractive under the brown sauce and green leaves. Next to it is a bowl of mashed potatoes soaked in cream, which also exudes a tempting aroma. In addition, there are cold salads made with vegetables and fruits, baked lobster with cheese spread on top, good truffles, delicious caviar, and two slices of toast with bacon sandwiched between them.
Dessert is iced blueberry milkshake, freshly squeezed juice and chocolate mousse.
The dishes on the table can be described as dazzling, even if these things are on Babylon, they can only be enjoyed in high-end restaurants. Not to mention that they are on the cruiser Sunrise at the moment, the transportation and preservation of these foods alone is a huge expense. Therefore, although Capulo's status is not worthy of his status as a marshal, if the location is changed to a cruiser, it is another matter.
Allen was also polite, seeing that Capulo had started to sweep up the food, he also directly started on the grilled lamb chops. With unusual agility and precision, the knife and fork in his hand cut the lamb chops into squares of the same size, and then put them into his mouth to chew. His speed is not slow, his posture is elegant, and he fully complies with the etiquette of nobles. Capulo, by comparison, is much ruder. The marshal directly cut off a piece of meat steak, brought it to his mouth with a fork and bit it, and the sauce splashed all over the place.
When I was in a hurry, I even reached out to grab it. This kind of food can only be described as not flattering. But it gave people an extremely happy feeling, and also felt Caprona's heroic side as a soldier.
Neither of them spoke, they just concentrated on destroying the food. After the main dishes and side dishes were almost wiped out, Capulo's speed slowed down. He wiped his hands with a wet towel, looked at Alan and said with a smile: "Eat more, young people should eat more delicious food, so that they have the strength to fight. When I was your age, a table like this It’s not enough for me. At that time, I didn’t like these exquisite dishes, but the portion was not enough. My favorite at that time was grilled steak, nothing special. Throw the fresh steak on the fire and add salt With any other seasoning, it is the best food."
Allen also stopped.
Recalling the days when I lived on the surface, I agreed: "The simpler the method, the more it can reflect the aroma of the food, which is a bit direct to the essence of the taste. On the contrary, the dishes made through multiple processes like now, the aroma of processing It has overshadowed the original taste of the food."
"Your words are very insightful and to the point. Hey, that's a good sentence. I can see that you've been through a lot. A young man like you can't say something so compelling without a moving story. Words of thought.”
Allen said indifferently: "The marshal has won the award."
"It's the truth. Well, I don't like to beat around the bush. Let's just put it this way, Alan. I admire you very much, and Mr. Horn is also one of the few people I respect. So I hope you can join Gold Lion, with your aptitude, at least a major general can’t escape. I heard that you have been imprisoned by the source force, and this is not a problem. I can find someone to find a way to help you release it. Not an insoluble problem. What do you think of my proposal?"
Alan didn't want him to be straightforward, and immediately raised such a key question after eating. He sat up straight and was about to make a statement. Capulo suddenly laughed, waved his hands and said: "Don't, don't, don't rush to refuse. I know what you think, you are a student of Windsor Bello. Marshal Tanlang is the representative of the new party, and Sirius and Beth Kede There is also military cooperation, so no matter how you look at it, you are not suitable to join the Golden Lion. Is that what you think?"
"Now that you know everything." Alan smiled and said, "Surely the marshal won't make things difficult for him?"
"Of course, I never like to influence other people's wishes. But I want to ask you, Alan. You have not joined Sirius or any legion of the new party, have you? In this case, your position should still be neutral, so you reject me Is it just because of Windsor Bello?" Capulo shook his head and said, "If so, your thinking is a bit too narrow. Or you can change to another angle, so you might as well think of it this way. If you join the Golden Lion , with you as the link, it may bring a new atmosphere between the old and new parties."
"Think about it, you are both a student of Windsor Bellow and the general of my Golden Lion. Then you can do a lot. The reason why the old and new parties are increasingly divided is that it is difficult for us to trust each other. But If there is someone whom Windsor Bello and I can trust, maybe the new situation President Morbit expects will come."
Allen's heart beat heavily, which was indeed something he had never thought about before.
"Take a step back, even if it's because you joined the Golden Lion. Windsor Bello was annoyed by this, and even removed you from the student list, and blamed Beth Keld's words. Then I am fully capable of making up for all this, with experience and In terms of strength, I am also qualified to be your teacher. And the Golden Lion has no less needs than Sirius in terms of armaments. I can even let the two legions of Death Spread and Iron Fist, and their future armaments will be fully entrusted to you, Beth. Ke De agent." Capulo said indifferently: "So you see, you have nothing to lose by joining the Golden Lion, and you will only get more than what you have now."
Allen exclaimed in secret that Capulo did not force him to join, but instead helped him dissect the relationship of interests clearly. No one could find a reason to refuse, but Allen always felt that something was wrong, it was an intuition.
Capulo laughed: "You can think about it, don't rush to make a decision. Just give me an answer before the end of this war. Anyway, this war is not over so soon. You have plenty of time to think about it, and you can listen to it." Listen to Mr. Horn's opinion. In short, this is the business, let's change the subject."
"I heard that you are very close to the Highness of Idahua Star?"
Allen secretly thought that the marshal also likes to inquire about this kind of gossip.
Next, the two talked about everything. Allen has to admit that Capulo's knowledge is far superior to those he knows, and probably only his grandfather Horn can compare with him. Even Windsor Bellow is not so good, especially for the understanding of chaotic races, Capulo's experience is still very valuable. From what he has to say, Allen is better than any course he takes.
In this small compartment, Capulo showed extraordinary control, almost controlling the rhythm of the entire dinner. All Allen could do was respond passively. If Capulo also has this control in the military field, then no matter who is his opponent, it will be quite a headache. And Allen believes that Capulo's control on the battlefield will only be stronger than at this moment.
This is what a generation of legends should have.
When the last dessert disappeared from the mouths of the two, the feast also came to an end. Capulo watched Allen leave with a smile on his face from beginning to end. Back at the residence, Allen sat alone for a moment, then smiled wryly and shook his head. Capulo succeeded in shaking his mind. From a moral point of view, it is absolutely impossible for him to accept Capulo's invitation. But in terms of benefits, the Golden Lion does have more resources than Sirius. Joining the Golden Lion, whether it is him or his family, will only gain more benefits.
The most powerful thing about Capulo is that after the whole conversation, Allen didn't feel that joining the Golden Lion was a betrayal. Instead, give him a very good blueprint. With him as the link, the old and new parties will cooperate seamlessly.
But, is this possible?
Allen smiled wryly, this was beyond what he could have predicted. The old and new non-party forces are deeply intertwined, and how can one or two sentences make it clear. All of a sudden, Allen remembered that Lu Sen took him away from the Blood Eagle base in a tough, even outrageous way on the planet Pluto that day. Allen was startled, Lu Sen was once Kaprow's subordinate. With such subordinates, it is not difficult to imagine what the boss looks like.
In this way, Capulo's kind elder image tonight may also be a disguise. Allen patted his face, remembering what Lu Sen had done, and became more certain of his thoughts. Maybe Lu Sen did what he did that day, but it was Kaprow's instigation after he agreed. It's just that today is different from the past, Capulo changed his tough tactics and switched to a gentle strategy, and he almost wavered.
Although he has no real evidence now, Allen would rather trust his intuition.
The time came to the next day, which was the day when military achievements were announced. The hunting groups of each planet have been approved by the General Staff Headquarters and will be announced by Lu Sen himself. However, I heard that Capulo will also be present today, so half an hour before the official announcement, the combat hall of the Sunrise is already full of members of the hunting group who have returned from various planets.
Allen arrived at the meeting hall ten minutes before the press conference began. Except for Hubble who did not follow, all members of the wolf hunting group arrived for this battle, including Reina. When they walked into the hall, there was a lot of secret discussions among people. After all, some of these people were well-informed. It was naturally thought-provoking to learn that Kaprow had met Alan in private yesterday.
