The story of an immortal hero.

In the bleak autumn and cold, overlooking the lonely Lichen Harbor.

Frowning his brows tightly, the man was silent, and his resolute eyes revealed the calm and magnanimity that had gone through the vicissitudes of life; the echo of the evening bell came from the tower in the distance, and the sound seemed to penetrate the corner of the earth. Remind the world to find their way back? Or has the final judgment quietly approached? The port of Murmansk, located in the north of the northern border, is no longer the afterglow of the long sun, the dim starlight, the boundless night leading to inexplicable melancholy, it seems that the ensemble has played the first movement of the "Symphony of Sorrows"...

 "'Uprising' is a sacred right and an indispensable obligation."
"Sir, what you said..."

On the command tower, the chill came slowly, and the eyes between the middle-aged officer and the young subordinates should not have appeared, was it puzzled or a temptation? Caressing the stars and medals on his chest, the man broke the deadlock, smiled, and pointed to a certain point in the night sky to the west.

 "Lieutenant Colonel, do you know the location of our battle this time?"
"Yes! Sir! I understand that the location is where the enemy's heavy troops are assembled, twenty north latitude..."
"Then do you know our motives for hiding out to sea?"
"..."

The roaring of the string music does not stop, the autumn wind in September is struggling to beat the water of the ice-free port, the white waves of the sea and the sky are not an ode to peace, but there is a sense of urgency and anxiety about the storm; After the instruction of "Let's Go", the steel fortress started a silent journey of thousands of miles...

On the eve of closing the final "bond" with the real world...

 "Lieutenant Colonel, let me tell you a story!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Just call me 'Mark'."

"Hero of Two Continents" Marquis of La Fayette (Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de La Fayette, 1757-1834) , famous birthday on September 6:

If Napoleon (Napoléon Bonaparte) is the first god of war in Leo in astrology, I can think of no other person who has the same immortal title of Virgo except the Marquis of Lafayette. Because he is respected as an outstanding military strategist and statesman in the modern history of the West, and he is famous for his personal involvement in the two epic battles of the "American Revolutionary War" and the "French Revolution"...

Lafayette was born in Château de Chavaniac (now known as Lafayette Fort, a museum) in central France. His ancestors were even more distinguished and valiant military families; although his father, a grenadier, was in his 2nd year. Unfortunately, he died for his country during the "Seven Years' War" at the age of 14, but at the age of 14, Lafayette still fearlessly chose to inherit the mantle and embarked on the road of becoming a professional soldier and cavalry.

In his youthful military life, Lafayette sincerely longed for the national independence movement that rose in those years. Therefore, in 1775, when the patriots of the thirteen states (British colonies) in North America started the War of Independence with the British Empire, they had not yet reached the age of 20. , as the captain, he upholds the passion of "the pursuit of independence in the New World is the well-being of freedom-loving people all over the world", regardless of the opposition of relatives and friends, he organized a private fleet on his own, recruited soldiers, and personally led the army to the New World; Lafayette, the colonial revolutionary militia and the Continental Army were ridiculed by the outside world as a motley army, unable to fight against the well-trained and well-equipped elite troops of the British army, but he did not shrink back at all, because no matter where the family's glory lies, La Three words of Faye, always look up and move forward and fight unremittingly!

In 1780, Lafayette, who joined the Freemasonry allies through the introduction of George Washington the previous year, returned to the country and persuaded the French royal family and obtained a formal authorization. Led 6,000 reinforcements across the Atlantic to join the ranks of the revolutionary army;

At the end of September of the following year, in the "Battle of Yorktown" (Battle of Yorktown), which was regarded as a key land reunion, Lafayette, as a front-line commander, made brilliant achievements, in addition to capturing about 8,000 British troops in one breath. , and forced the British government to start a plan to negotiate a truce. This move also brought Washington and other generals an unprecedented reversal victory in the "War of Independence", building a new world with the army of freedom.

After returning triumphantly as a revolutionary hero, Lafayette did not let up, and immediately took the United States as a model, and began to turn to fighting for the freedom and democracy that belonged to the French people! As a member of the second tier (nobles) of the three-tier council, he not only strongly supported the political and economic reform proposals of the third-tier members (civilians) (increasing taxes on clergy and nobles), but also participated in the raging French Revolution movement, and subsequent The drafting of the Declaration of Human Rights (Déclaration des Droits de l'Homme et du Citoyen), which "declares that liberty, property, security and resistance to oppression are inalienable human rights; affirms freedom of speech, belief, writing and the press, stating that Separation of judicial, executive and legislative powers, equality before the law, the sanctity of private property and other principles and values.”

 "Sir! 'Freedom and Equality' really..."
"Captain, you don't think these can be eaten as food or water, right?"

The charts and rulers were quietly placed at the corner of the table, and the continuously flashing indicator lights were also viewed as if they were seen as nothing by everyone. Commander is like a storyteller, no! Just like the magic piper of the past, all officers and soldiers in the cockpit are deeply immersed in the world of historical figures.

The original idea, Lafayette hoped that after the end of the revolution, everyone would work together to promote a new kingdom of France that adopts a constitutional monarchy and respects Congress and the people, rather than a republic like the United States, and does not want to see their families kill each other. The bloody conflicts between the two countries happened again and again. Therefore, after the action was roughly finalized, he insisted on slowing down the reform and did not advance with arms. He gradually developed a serious ideological gap with some revolutionaries who advocated absolute republic and abolished royal power!

exist,

On July 17, 1791, a group of fanatical supporters of the republic marched on the Champ-de-Mars in Paris, demanding that Congress convert King Louis XVI's escape into a guilt. However, due to the chaos in the scene, although the mayor of Paris declared martial law in advance, the conflict and friction between the National Guard and tens of thousands of supporters intensified. Shoot! This incident is commonly known in history as the "Fusillade du Champ-de-Mars" (Fusillade du Champ-de-Mars).

Lafayette, who was the commander of the guards at the time, was naturally to blame, but just after he assumed political responsibility and resigned from public office, and earnestly reminded the state society not to let the radicals seize power, as France gradually fell into chaos In the era of rational terror, the king and queen were even beheaded to the public;

Lafayette, who originally wanted to go to the United States, has now become a traitor to the royalists in the mouths of the radicals, and should have been raided and wiped out his family. Now he has nowhere to go through other countries. Prisoner of God)...

There is no other reason . Lafayette, the hero of the two continents (Le Héros des Deux Mondes), is a hero with appeal and credibility. If he incites revolution on the spot, demands natural human rights and returns power to the people, I am afraid that the whole Europe There will be a revolutionary wave, and the unlimited power of the king will come to an end in haste, so...

Five years in prison!

“‘Uprising’ is a sacred right and an indispensable obligation.”
"'Uprising' is a sacred right and an indispensable obligation."
"'Uprising' is a sacred right and an indispensable obligation."

Like the eulogies during evening prayers, chanted in the sky below the sea at a depth of 400 meters; a few miles away, the sonar analyst of the nuclear submarine Émeraude S604 looked at his hands in confusion. translations above.

Belgium, Germany, and the Czech Republic have been transferred to prisons many times, and Lafayette, like duckweed, has lost its graceful life. Until 1799, with the coming of a new generation of French national hero Napoleon to supervise the government, the current situation changed dramatically. Then, in March 1800, Lafayette finally regained citizenship and free access to assets previously confiscated by the government;

Two years later, he publicly opposed Napoleon's decision to become a lifelong ruler through a referendum, and even declined the French envoy to the United States, a member of the Senate, and Lafayette, who was awarded the Legion of Honor. , chooses to live a life of retreating to the countryside and forests, idle clouds and wild cranes.

In 1815, Napoleon abdicated as a vanquished. Lafayette planned to use diplomatic channels to arrange for Napoleon to retire in the United States, but was strongly stopped by the British.

In 1824, nearly half a century after the founding of the nation, the U.S. government in a stable and robust period, President James Monroe, the last U.S. leader who participated in the War of Independence, decided to invite Lafayette to "found the nation". Visited as a VIP"; he was very kind, and with the identity and glory of the last surviving French general, he made a tour of 24 states in the United States. It was expected to be a low-key and peaceful memory trip, but Lafayette was warmly welcomed by the local people wherever it went from New York! In addition to exclusive portraits, stone sculptures and souvenirs, there are even activities to display the cornerstones of various buildings, and even the prize money (200,000 US dollars) and public land (Florida) issued by the state...

The frigate "Susquehanna" that escorted Lafayette back home was also renamed "Brandywine" in memory of the naval battle of the same name in September 1777: Lafayette was wounded in his left leg in this battle, but still desperately spoke French The accented English shouted that the U.S. military should not lose hearts because of the dangerous situation on the front line. In the end, the U.S. military greatly reduced unnecessary casualties.

In other words, without Lafayette, perhaps America would not have been born!

Six years later,

Things are changing, and France is once again trapped in France, where there is no way to govern and the people are struggling. The old and pedantic head of Charles X (Charles X), who believes in the divine right of the monarchy and is extremely disgusted with democracy, let the people once again take to the streets of Paris; he is more than 70 years old. Lafayette, at that time, under the entreaties and requests of the society, returned to the familiar revolutionary front with a sense of mission and patriotism that could not be left behind. , Lafayette is still elected with high votes! And he went a step further to deliver speeches promoting freedom and equal rights in important occasions such as Congress and the square!

In 1830, the flames of the "Juillet Revolution" (La Révolution de Juillet) were ignited, and Congress repealed the "Publishing Censorship Law" and the "Conservative Religious Law", and everyone wanted to recommend Lafayette as the leader of France. It is the new "President" (or consul) of the Republic, but he believes that this move will be unconstitutional and abuse of power. Lafayette, who has lost the spirit of the earlier revolution, bravely put down the honorable throne that is about to be handed over and handed over the authority of the ruler. Louis, who pursued a constitutional monarchy. Philip (Louis-Philippe of France, 1773-1850).

In May 1834, Lafayette, whose lifelong pursuit of independence and self-determination could blossom and bear fruit all over the world, passed away in Paris, France, marking the end of his legendary life.

Since the founding of the country, only one of the eight people who have been conferred (posthumously) the highest honor in the United States of America, the "Honorary Citizen of the United States", Lafayette, is well-deserved and has no luck.

end:

 "Good day, General! Welcome to the Free Land!"
"'Uprising' is a sacred right and an indispensable obligation."
"Yes, this is the famous saying left by the Marquis of Lafayette. But I also want to send him another sentence to the general: 'Don't let selfishness occupy everything, but be sure to keep the non-blind obedience to the law and freedom enthusiasm.”

On the deck of the "La Fayette" (F710), facing the wine red autumn day in the Pacific Ocean, there may be a little drunken breeze. Two men stood side by side. In the past, there may be different colors of conflict. But now make peace with the same values and beliefs.

Quietly, a "Borey" submarine was escorting the cruiser underwater.
