Chapter 241: Fairness is explained this way
Of course, these two high-ranking officers who did not play their cards according to reason did not get off the boat and took Yu Lian and Fei Fei to the scene of the military meeting - it would be too deliberate to do so - but naturally took the two of them to have a good meal.
This can be regarded as catching the wind and washing the dust.
Of course, they didn't accompany them at dinnerβit would have been too deliberate to do soβbut instead hired a non-commissioned officer to do the logistics work, and then took their leave. Before leaving, Brigadier General Lu Ben once again solemnly reminded Yu Lian that someone would be sent to the hotel to pick him up at eight o'clock tomorrow to attend the meeting, and he must be present at Yunyun.
New Seville is a water world where 90% of the land is covered with oceans, and its specialty is naturally seafood delicacies. Among them, the main dish is a thousand-feuille fish, which greatly opened the eyes of Yu Lian, who thought he was well-informed. The main course looks like a New Seville specialty, but the belly is actually a golden salmon; The golden salmon has a blue barracuda in its belly, and the blue barracuda has a white-scaled fish in its belly; At the end of the day, the belly of the white-scaled fish is still stuffed with drunken shrimp that have been soaked in fine wine a long time ago.
The whole dish is steamed with a high-heat laser, and it is indeed a taste that cannot be tasted on earth.
Although Yu Lian thinks that this dish should actually be called "ecological chain", the kernel can be described as quite cruel, but the taste is indeed very good.
The next day, the logistics non-commissioned officer, whose name was not too important, took Yu Lian and Fei Fei to the headquarters early in the morning and began to prepare for the military meeting.
The conference room of the headquarters is a stepped branch, the area is large enough to accommodate two or three hundred people, and the facilities inside are also very complete, at least much better than the Tulong headquarters on the new jade gate.
At this time, only the first three rows of the conference room were seated, all of whom were colonel-level officers.
"This is Captain Yu Lian, a special commissioner at the headquarters, who is responsible for supervising and supervising our operation." Brigadier General Lu Ben introduced.
This is the embarrassment of this kind of work, and the so-called "supervision" and "supervision" are really too free. In the end, whether it will become a mutual constraint or a concerted effort is really different from person to person.
Everyone began to applaud, although it was very routine, but after all, they were clapping with a friendly smile.
"This is Lieutenant Fina Lee, the Commissioner of Propaganda at the Headquarters. I hope you can show the demeanor and courage that a soldier of the community should have, so that Lieutenant Li can write an excellent report for us! The brigadier general added.
This time, everyone's applause seemed to be more sincere, and the smiles were brighter.
In short, maybe someone is a central commissioner after all, a moon man after all, a tiger talisman group after all, plus someone is still a psyker after all; As a result, apart from the necessary military etiquette, Brigadier General Luben and Colonel Hesa did not put on a show of superiority in front of Yu Lian from beginning to end, and they were also very polite and friendly to Fei Fei.
The attitude can be described as quite upright and sincere.
With the two of them taking the lead, none of the other officers showed any negative emotions, and the whole military meeting did not have any traditional drama that everyone liked, at least on the surface, the meeting still started on a positive note.
Then, as the second theoretical figure in the field, Colonel Sach began to introduce everyone: "After the order from the headquarters came down, we began to conduct a larger pre-war reconnaissance. Three large orbital exploration ships brought in from the Far Shore Fleet cooperated with the ground search force to explore for nearly a month. Currently, all new settlements on Rumina, which are not registered with the star government, are located in the following locations. β
He glanced at everyone, and seeing that Yu Lian and Fei Fei didn't react, he continued: "These are naturally the supporters of potential separatists, but they are not our focus today. Now the question is here......"
He pointed to a point on the hologram and enlarged it into a holographic image, revealing a large complex of buildings nestled between the mountains and forests. The ancient Rumina buildings, looming in the hazy forest valleys and mountains, resemble the fairy city of mythology.
"This is the ancient city of Thure, which is nearly 10,000 years old, located in the Great Thurro Forest, and is also the sacred place of the Lumina people......" he said, adjusting the image: "It has been uninhabited for almost twenty years, but now a large number of heat sources have been discovered, and a considerable number of Lumina people have gathered. β
He paused and looked at Yu Lian: "Under the auspices of the psionic advisors sent by the Far Shore Fleet, our side has conducted a ...... there. Well, some reconnaissance determined that there were subtle, but not very normal, psionic fluctuations. β
The psyker's method of detection is so high that Colonel Sach says he can't understand it at all, but he can only believe it.
"To sum up, we can basically determine that the remnants of the Cult of All Souls, and the main force of the Rumina rebels, should be assembling there......" Colonel Sah paused and added, "Of course, this is only the current situation!" β
"Everyone knows at a glance that the ancient city of Thurro is deep in the mountains and jungles, and what is currently shown is the buildings on the surface, and there are still a large number of buildings deep into the mountains, and the situation is very complicated. If the enemy does get entrenched here, we will have some trouble with the assault! Brigadier General Luben explained, a flash of distress.
"So why not use orbital bombardment?" There is a lieutenant colonel.
Yu Lian looked at the lieutenant colonel who asked the question, and was sure that this guy should be a newcomer like himself. Of course, unlike yourself, the other party must not have done their homework well.
The ancient city of Thurro is the oldest and largest ancient building complex on this planet, and it has a certain reputation within the galaxy. Before the discovery of the planet by geoscientists, this ancient city was inhabited by more than 200,000 Lumina people, making it their most prosperous city.
Of course, this was hundreds of years ago.
With the empire incorporated this place into its territory, Duke Tang Wyser felt that it was really demonic for so many unsubmissive Luminas to stay in the dense jungle, and if he didn't come out to work, what would his lord eat? And he drove them all out of the woods, half forced, half tempted.
The Imperials have never been gentlemen who have all seven virtues, and in the process, all kinds of cruel fucking things have indeed been done.
The Luminians don't like the Earthlings now, and they don't like the Blue Star Community as a government, but at least at the time they really hated the Empire. For a long time, because of the common goal of hatred, the earthlings and the luminians actually had a few incense loves.
"We have been forced to leave our holy place, our own spirit and soul to return, we have turned our backs on our ancestors and the gods of the sky!" This is what the old Ruminas recount, when they refer to this period of history.
However, the so-called tradition is not worth mentioning in terms of reality. What's more, the Lumina people's own civilization has just developed to the level of primitive polytheism, and there is actually no unity of thought.
In short, over the centuries, most of the Lumina people learned to settle in the valleys and hills where transportation was relatively convenient. Although the ancient city of Thurro was still regarded as their ancestral court and spiritual home, apart from a few priests, there were no more people settled there.
However, it must be admitted that the large complex of buildings surrounded by dense forests and sandy ridges is a natural fortress city. It's really hard to imagine how the Lumina people, who were still in the tribal alliance system at the time, could complete the construction of buildings of this scale.
This is just so unscientific!
"No orbital bombardment! The ancient city of Thurro is a treasure of the community, and it is also a civilization heritage belonging to the whole galaxy, and it is an interstellar first-class cultural relic recorded by the Galactic Civilization Council, if it is damaged! None of us can afford to do that! Brigadier General Luben said.
It may sound a bit aggrieved, but that's the current state of the universe. Since the existence of this huge ancient city is very unscientific, it is naturally very metaphysical. The ruminous accounts of the luminals themselves are more myths than historical books.
As a result, some scholars have even suggested that this ancient city is likely to be the legacy of the enlighteners...... Even if it's not, it must have something to do with it.
Regardless of whether Yu Lian believes it or not, many big people believe it anyway. I heard that the alliance is still arguing with the community government, and I hope to study Yunyun together.
As for the community government, it seems to be really tempting.
All of this was told to him by Yu Lian's current boss, Sister Azisa Mallorwin.
Obviously, during the time of the empire's rule, Duke Tang Huaiser did not work this huge ancient city, but after spending so much money, he didn't research any peaches, but everyone still didn't give up after all!
At this time, he saw Brigadier General Lu Ben pause and said, "Other...... If it is really destroyed, the people of Lumina will really be alienated. β
As he spoke, the brigadier general glanced at Yu Lian with a very hidden gaze. The latter knew that he should have deliberately said that he had heard it, but this was indeed a rare old man's serious words, and he agreed with it very much.
"So...... Not only orbital bombing, but also heavy weapons cannot be used casually. Colonel Sach continued to introduce the battle plan.
The battle plan of the garrison command is actually quite simple. With the 141st Marine Brigade as the main force, with the battleships in orbit and the aircraft in the atmosphere, they completed the blockade of the entire ancient city of Thuro and the Great Forest, and launched a tentative attack on the ancient city to find out the enemy's combat strength as much as possible.
In addition, the garrison cooperated in the operation, "mopping" all Lumina settlements that did not cooperate with the government......
Yes, Colonel Sach did use this word, which made Yu Lian almost want to twitch the corners of his mouth.
"Colonel, can you explain the meaning of this sweep?" Fei Fei asked.
"Of course, it's about finding out who are loyal citizens of the community and who are supporters of the rebels. Rest assured, lieutenants, there are a lot of garrisons and marines who grew up here and won't mess around. All our actions will be carried out within the limits of the laws of the Community. The Colonel explained kindly, "Our main purpose is to find a secret passage into that ancient city...... I don't know if it exists. However, we have been in lockdown of that city for a while, but they are still holding on. So, we can only consider it from this aspect. β
Fei Fei nodded expressionlessly.
"That's all the battle plan. Do you have any questions? Colonel Sach glanced around the conference room with a sharp gaze, and saw that all the mid-level officers were showing high spirits, nodded in satisfaction, and then looked at Yu Lian again.
His eyebrows seemed to twitch a little unnaturally, but he still forced out a humble smile: "So, Captain, your opinion ......"
To put it bluntly, the so-called central commissioner is a military adviser assigned by the military command headquarters to the local troops, and Yu Lian really has the right to make suggestions, and even has the right to make irresponsible remarks and tinker with all operational plans.
"Your battle plan has been perfected! Xia Guan doesn't have any special opinions! Yu Lian said with a smile.
Brigadier General Luben and Colonel Sach were a little stunned, probably having been in the army for most of their lives, and they had never seen such a reasonable commissioner.
At this time, I saw Yu Lian and said: "Of course, there is indeed a little suggestion here that is not very mature. β
The two seemed to breathe a sigh of relief again, thinking that they were coming, and they were indeed coming.
"For the tentative attack on the ancient city of Thurro, you must be cautious, and you don't have to force any results! In comparison, the sweep of the settlements of the people of Lumina on the periphery...... Well, you can also try to be as cautious as possible, that is a little longer delayed, and please try not to wronged an innocent person. Yu Lian looked at everyone with a smile: "This time, Xiaguan did come with a mission, but the biggest task is to give everyone a reassurance." Now that the location of the enemy has been determined, it is a matter of time before they are addressed. Therefore, there is no need to rush at all, just come steadily and cautiously. β
"Steady, steady? Careful? β
"Yes, after all, the lives of soldiers are also very precious. If you can force the enemy to come out and surrender during a long siege, and surrender without a fight, that is the best art of war! Yu Lian said seriously, and then pretended to mysteriously lower his voice a little: "All of you present are senior officers of our army, so I'll say it...... According to the opinion of the Earth Headquarters, even if it is the Ten Thousand Souls Sect, except for their sect leader Wanda, their bishops, high priests and so on, are all negotiable. So, you get it, right? β
After being stunned for nearly half a minute, Brigadier General Lu Ben finally showed a sudden smile: "Understood, Captain, we can also do the work of persuading surrender at the same time." β
"Well, you ...... before" Colonel Sach was still a little difficult to accept.
"What before?"
"It's what I said in an interview with the Blue Son before, fight tigers, don't catch flies or anything......"
"Hey, isn't Flores Wanda the biggest tiger? Aren't the others just flies when they compare themselves to him? β
"Is that fair, fair, or fair......"
"It is fair that ordinary people of Lumina cannot be wronged! You can't let the soldiers sacrifice in vain, this is also fair! More importantly, you can't force others to make it difficult and force you to rush in easily. We must respect your command and your judgment of the situation, which is the greater fairness! β
That's how it was explained!
"Besides, who would tell the truth in front of a reporter if anyone is serious?"
As soon as Yu Lian opened his mouth, he felt the sharp gaze on his back, and then realized that Fei Fei seemed to be a reporter, but he could only open his eyes wide and look at it with great affinity, big bright eyes, and a sincere face: "All in all, let's come step by step at your own pace." Don't be nervous, really! β
As soon as these words were spoken, the officers present looked at Yu Lian more and more friendly, and even a little moved. If all the central commissioners were like this, the galactic society would have been the same all over the world!
However, Brigadier General Luben and Colonel Sach were not fools after all, and although they were also nodding their heads gratefully, the smiles on their faces were obviously not very believing.
Yu Lian continued: "...... As for the war, it's entirely up to you. After all, Xia Guan has just arrived, and he still has to do some research after that, so he should be able to walk around. β
Everyone's expressions stiffened again, and the atmosphere in the venue seemed to be tense again.
"Hehe, don't worry, my main thing is to see the situation in the Red Maple Factory...... Hey, this factory, it's time to get back on track! Yu Lian showed an embarrassed expression: "Let everyone know that there are still many people who are interested in the Red Maple Factory." β
Brigadier General Luben and Colonel Sach looked at each other, and they were really puzzled by the current situation. So, they just kept smiling.
This time, the smile seemed to be more sincere.
