Hidden Yao Era

"Why!? You don't take your life seriously and run to the dungeon to risk for the limelight! Do you know how worried your parents are about you? Do you know how worried the Great Patriarch is? Do you know that you are the hope of our family!?The hope of the army!? And you despise your own life so much that you risk your own life! You don't even think about your parents' feelings! You don't think about the interests of your family!" Uncle Cuthbert rebuked angrily.

"No, I'm doing it for the good of my family! I can get promoted faster, you see I'm a captain now!" argued Casto.

"Yes! You're a captain now! But I'm telling you, your showy personality will ruin you sooner or later! A young officer of your character will be targeted by the higher-ups and made to complete the most dangerous missions, and die for the rest of your life!

"But I'm alive now, and I can decide my fate as long as I live!" Castor said, still unconvinced.

Uncle Cuthbert then sarcastically said, "Well, then I'll tell you good news! Captain Cavendish! Because of your excellent performance in Titan operation, you have been assigned to captain one of the latest escort boats, the Levy IX. And the casualty rate of the captain of this escort boat is as high as 87%, are you satisfied!?".

"What!?, one of my captains, actually made me the captain of an escort boat!?" said Casto in amazement.

"Yes, surprise!, are you ready to be a martyr, Second Lieutenant Cavendish!?" said Uncle Cuthbert taunting.

"I didn't die so easily, I escaped alive from such a tragic dungeon battle, maneuvering the escort boat is nothing, my fate is still in my own hands!" Casto said confidently.

Uncle Cuthbert gasped for breath and said, "You stinky boy, you're so stubborn!

"Uncle Cuthbert, your lungs are alright, shall we go to the dining room for a while?" Casto suddenly realized that Uncle Cuthbert had been shot through his lungs more than ten years ago, and he was not very comfortable with artificial lungs, so he often couldn't breathe.

"You're blowing up my lungs. I've got to get some rest!" said Uncle Cuthbert, panting. Casto then helped Uncle Cuthbert to the dining room and ordered a few dishes.

The chairs in the Zenda restaurant are very comfortable, and the materials are soft and delicate. Uncle Cuthbert spread out his chair and said, "Hey, aren't you really afraid of death?"

"Don't be afraid!" Casto replied firmly.

"Don't you really be afraid? Don't you feel sorry to think of so much delicious and fun food, so much wealth and power?

"To live for these vain things, such a death is fulfilling if you die for a great purpose!, and why fear such a death!?" asked Castor.

After hearing this, Uncle Cuthbert laughed and said, "Great goal? hahahahaha, there are no great goals in this era, take care of yourself and strive for as many benefits as possible for the family, this is enough." Perhaps in the ancient times of mankind, there were indeed so-called great goals. But now, the dazzling brilliance of the human spirit has been obscured, and man can only be a rational animal chasing power and money. So don't be brainwashed by stupid ideas, power and money are the only purpose of life. "

"Has there ever been a time when the human spirit has shone brightly?" asked Casto.

Uncle Cuthbert sighed, "Yes, when human technology was just beginning to revolutionize, the human spirit used to shine incomparably. At that time, human beings expressed their noble, fiery and innocent emotions to the fullest. Dare to confront all systems and fight against all darkness. At that time, the elite of mankind believed that human reason and abundant emotions could enable human civilization to develop brilliantly forever. But later, human literary and artistic creations and political ideas became more and more vulgarized. The most popular music no longer celebrates toughness, grandeur and loyalty, but is all about showing off wealth, indulging in lust and creating so-called empty notions of fashion. Painting no longer celebrates laborers, no longer celebrates heroes, no longer depicts the texture of nature. Instead, he constantly creates strange ideas, drawing the fragmentation and coldness of the times under the accumulation of money. Novels and poetry have become strange and difficult, and the most elite intellectuals are no longer understood by the world. And most people indulge in superficial conjecture. Politics is no longer idealized, no longer conceived for the future, it has become utilitarian, infantilized, and even entertaining. The human spirit became more and more dissipated, and it gradually spread out of the human brain, running into the mouth, eyes, ears, and lower body. "

"Can humanity recreate that era?" asked Castor.

Uncle Cuthbert shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just know that the current zeitgeist will not create a golden age of the human spirit." Kid, don't go in the direction of the times! That's too costly! Not only will you pay the price, but the people around you will also pay the price. "

"I don't think it's hard to recreate an era like this! As long as everyone can emancipate their hearts and discover their hearts, then everyone can be artists, poets, and thinkers! It is not difficult, as long as people can let go of prejudices and selfish desires!" Casto said excitedly.

Hearing Castor's idealistic words, Uncle Cuthbert laughed and said, "Hahahahaha, let go of prejudices and selfish desires? This is too difficult, don't people live in peace by relying on their own prejudices? If people have no prejudices and desires, how can we, the upper classes, check and balance the lower classes?".

Casto was speechless for a moment. Seeing that Casto was speechless, Uncle Cuthbert said: "You don't have to worry too much about being the captain of the escort boat, I entrusted a friend to strengthen your escort boat, which has added a lot of armor, and added stealth coating and dynamic thrust devices. As long as it is done properly, it is very difficult to destroy in battle. It's now modified to look like a big fat man. "

"Thank you, Uncle Cuthbert, I think I was indeed too reckless. With the Pluto rover, I did feel the cruelty of war. Casto said.

Uncle Cuthbert's expression became serious again, and he said, "Have you been proselytized since you were captured by the Pluto rover?

"I didn't, they brainwashed me, Captain Emilia and I didn't believe in their religion. Castor replied firmly.

"That's good, but you have to be careful with that Captain Amilia, she's from the Savanna family, and these bitches have been trying to cultivate the power of the army lately. They will do anything to seduce men. If you are entangled by them, it is difficult to get out, and it is easy to become their tool. Uncle Cuthbert reminded.

"Well, but I don't think Emilia is that kind of person. She has an independent soul of her own. Casto said.

"Hmph, don't be fooled, the Savannah family is the best at disguise, and many of their ladies look innocent and cute. But they're all complete sluts!I went to the Savannah family's estate ten years ago, and the chaos in the big villa was a real eye-opener and disgusting!I feel sick when I think about it now!" It just so happened that the waiter served two dishes, and Uncle Cuthbert had no appetite for the tempting chicken curry and lamb chops stew.

Uncle Cuthbert continued, "Don't be obsessed with women! Men need to chase more practical things, and indulging in them will turn you into waste! Especially the women of the Savanna family, they will do everything they can to make you infatuated with them, and finally you will completely leave them and become their slaves." "

Castor nodded, then asked, "What will my escort boat be on board?"

"It's going to be on a CV3000 class aircraft carrier or an FSV830 support ship, don't worry, these ships are safe. I will surely put you in the service of the safest ships!" said Uncle Cuthbert.

"No, I want to serve on the destroyer USS Torch! The commander of the carrier there is my friend. Casto said.

Uncle Cuthbert glared and said, "You don't !! to fight a war, and you don't have any security guarantee for you to have your friends on board! Give me an honest service on an aircraft carrier or a support ship! Do you know? The firefighters will take 'special care' of a young officer like you! You can easily be sent to the most dangerous battlefield, and you know how dangerous it is on a destroyer! The fleet commander of the firefighters will not care whether the personnel on a destroyer live or die! But if an aircraft carrier or support ship is lost, they will still feel distressed for a while. "

Castor said calmly, "No, I think that under the command of my friend, I can get more reliable life support." I can't trust the commander of the carrier aircraft on other ships. And as you said, even if I go to an aircraft carrier or a support ship, when an air strike is launched on a target, I leave the mothership. At this point, would the firefighters pay attention to an escort ship that has left the mothership? I don't think your logic is valid. "

"When did you kid become so quibble!?you're so angry!!," said Uncle Cuthbert, clutching his chest.

"You drink Uncle Cuthbert first, I know the fate and the path I am about to face. It's not an easy road, fate may grab me by the throat, but I'm still ready to go on my own terms. Castor said calmly.

Uncle Cuthbert looked at Casto in amazement and said, "You have changed, when did you learn to be so calm? At this time, Castor didn't have much expression on his face.
