It's like a war queen who popped up out of nowhere. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The upper echelons of the Celestial Empire need this power, but they will not naively pin their future on such power.

The power of Senhime is undoubtedly strong, very strong. But this power is not the Celestial Empire's own after all, the higher-ups have tried to take the power of the war queen as their own, and have done a lot of things in private, but in the end they still can't copy the production process of the war queen, let alone control the source of all the war queens---- the sky fortress.

They can't take the power of the war queen for themselves.

Therefore, while maintaining a 'friendly' attitude towards the Sky Fortress, they began to develop their own military power while borrowing the power of the battle queen to protect themselves, and those cloned consciousness alloy humanoids were the result of this plan.

Compared to relying on someone else's gain, non-renewable power.

The top leaders of the Celestial Empire hope that they have in their hands a military force that can be sustainably produced and can be continuously regenerated!

That means not being held hostage to others.

That means it's your true power!

As for the Hellflower's alloy humanoids, these higher-ups still have the same opinion. Got it, it was a bonus, it could increase its military strength in a short period of time, but this was not a long-term solution after all, and when these alloy figures died in battle, they would not be replenished by new forces.

Because they can't go against the will of the people and take the brains of living people to transform them into alloy humanoids.

This development path will not go long.

Therefore, even if you can increase your military strength in a short period of time by surrendering this batch of alloy humanoids, this temptation is still not big enough for people to give up too much.

Of course, if this opportunity to surrender is delivered to them a week in advance, then their thoughts will be completely different.

It's just that at this point in time, the significance of recruiting this batch of alloy humanoids is really not too big.

"How are you thinking about it, should we abandon our trade for the sake of this defeated group, or will the trade go through as usual?"

A number of military bigwigs looked at each other and did not answer rashly, after thinking calmly, their desire to get these alloy humanoids was no longer great.

But these alloy humanoids are still living human lives after all, and human lives are at stake, and they can't speak indiscriminately.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the Hellflowers, we need some time to decide, so how about this meeting end here?" The old man at the top of the Celestial Empire spoke unhurriedly at this time.

His meaning is very straightforward, that his side needs time for an internal meeting, and this time the negotiations should be temporarily suspended.

Hellflower's second dark red symbol was silent for a few seconds before replying, "Yes, but only for five minutes." ”

Five minutes isn't long, but it's enough for a brief exchange.

"Well, we'll go offline first. ”

After the old man finished speaking, the dark red cold symbol about the flower of hell disappeared during the video conference, and the signal was cut off.

Nowadays, all those who are left behind in the video conference are their own people.

"So, let's start our own internal meeting. The old man's gaze swept over all the faces on the screen, and finally fell on Chen Chong, and said slowly: "Xiao Chen, I have to say, you really gave us all a surprise." ”

Chen Chong's eyebrows sank slightly, and he said, "I just did what I was supposed to do." ”

"Hmm. The old man nodded, but sighed: "It's a pity that this opportunity came at an inopportune time. ”

Chen Chong's eyebrows sank.

The old man continued: "Xiao Chen, let me ask you, where is the city where the hostages are kept?"

"Europe, near Ukraine. Chen Zhong replied.

The old man asked again: "How many troops are left that we can use to fight abroad?"

This question made everyone's hearts sink.

The troops dispatched to attack this island base this time are already the vast majority of the troops that can be mobilized out of the country.

The Celestial Empire has suffered a lot during this time, and the army has lost too much in the past few months against the mutant monsters, and now there are not many troops that can be sent abroad while ensuring the defense of the country.

And this attack on the island base, the soldier death rate far exceeded estimates.

In today's Celestial Empire, the military power has been weakened repeatedly, and it is really no longer suitable for cross-border warfare.

Thinking of this helpless reality, everyone, even those who had some fiery thoughts in their hearts before, were drenched with cold water in front of them.

"Next question. The old man glanced at the crowd and continued to ask Chen Chong: "How many prisoners are there in our hands now? According to your estimates, how many prisoners can be surrendered if their relatives are still alive?"

"There were 245 prisoners, and 214 prisoners whose relatives were still alive could be surrendered. Chen replied that he knew the data by heart, and he didn't even need to ask the adjutant to submit the information to be able to say it directly.

"214..... that's a lot. The old man shook his head and sighed: "But 214 captives means that there are 214 families, which means that there are about 400 hostages waiting for us to rescue." ”

"Even if we don't think about defending that city and choose to airlift those 400 hostages back, with our current air power, will it still be enough to transport those hostages back safely?"

No one dared to answer the old man's words.

Just now, the air forces of the various military districts have already been dispatched for the most part, but they have suffered the greatest losses in history.

Now, no one can guarantee that the remaining fighters will be able to take advantage of the cutting-edge air power of Hellflower.

Hellflower's fighter jets have always been the most feared, just that stealth ability, is the best hand as an assassin, there is this kind of stealth fighter, not to mention the current crippled air force, even the air force in its heyday, there is no guarantee that it can really protect a few transport planes that have no ability to maneuver.

If those transport planes carrying important hostages are shot down, then everything will come to naught.

Seeing that everyone was silent, the old man said slowly: "Now, what we should consider is not which benefit to obtain, but whether we can keep what we can get." ”

"There are things that we can see, but we don't necessarily get. Having more than enough heart but not enough is exactly what we are portraying today. ”

The old man's words made everyone speechless, and sometimes, looking at the problem from another angle, they would find that what they were interested in before was just the moon in the mirror and the flowers in the water.

"Still. The old man suddenly changed his tone and said, "We can't blindly compromise with the Hell Flower, and we can't break some bottom lines either!"

"Xiao Chen, according to your statistics, how many of those captives are children of our country?"

"Seventeen, less than a tenth of the number of prisoners. Chen Zhong sighed slightly and replied in a deep voice.
