At the end of the video, there is a series of figures------ the number of dead, wounded, property damage, soldiers killed in various battles, sunken battleships, and seriously injured soldiers after the Dortmund tragedy......

If you put it in countries like the Mengya Empire and the Sulu Empire, the numbers above are just numbers and don't make much sense at all. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 As long as it is not the officials themselves who are responsible for these figures, and as long as they do not exceed the red line drawn by their superiors, they will not care...... No, if it is a performer, it will even turn bad things into good things, and turn them into many difficulties to prosper the country and rejuvenate the country with many disasters.

But here...... Lu Yuankui stood up, Larry? Cook stood up, Peggy? Gasol stood up, and Lentry? Ferdinand also restrained his anger, slowly stood up, pursed his lower lip and remained silent, not knowing whether he thought of his son who died young, or felt sorry for those young people as an old man.

Tomlinson? "It turns out that we are wrong, the cost of reclaiming the Tiantuk and Mubarak systems is too great, and victory and dignity will never be able to heal the wounds of war," Darle said. Is it worth paying hundreds of millions of lives for 7 barren star systems? Is the basis of the Covenant's existence the land or the people? ”

"Yes, we regret it...... Even David, who has been fighting the main battle? General Conan also had a lot of remorse and guilt. You might think that he is getting old, becoming afraid of death, afraid of Luc? Stillberg is like a sea of corpses. But I still want to ask you, who are also in the main battle...... Do you regret seeing these images, these numbers stained red with blood? ”

Terry? Ferdinand said: "There are things that you know will come with sacrifice, but you have to do them. ”

"yes...... There are things that you know will bring sacrifices, but you have to do them...... This is called a man's romance by some. "Tomlinson? Dalle flashed a self-deprecating smile and rushed to Ress? Addinand waved.

Mr. Secretary of State pressed a button on the trackpad of the conference table, and the light from the holographic projection device changed, and the rows of shocking numbers disappeared into a face...... Face with a mask.

"We have discussed and struggled for a long time, but when all hope turns to despair, betrayal may be our only option...... It is always easier to deal with a good person than it is to deal with a wicked person. Admittedly despicable and despicable, but we have no choice. ”

Adam? As Oliver said this, the masked man in the picture began to speak. The content is simple, asking the Star Alliance government to make a choice, between them and the Tang side.

If they choose the Tang side, then the Anubis Legion will help the Monya Empire continue to strike at the Star Alliance, and not in a head-to-head battle on the frontline battlefield, but to continue to create the tragedy that happened in Dortmungo, so that more civilians will die.

The Masked Man wasn't lying, because it was under the watchful eye of him and Dombailey that the ships belonging to the Deep Diver fleet set fire and sank the already paralyzed Dawnlight.

Also under the watchful eyes of Masked Man and Winterberry, the ships of the Deep Diver fleet rained down massive nuclear bombs on the turquoise planet on the other side of the big screen, allowing the firelight to erode the beautiful orb. Although there was no explosion to be heard, no terrifying storm to be seen from the shock wave, and not a single charred corpse to be seen, it was clear what kind of tragic scene would appear on the ground.

Then there is the huge aircraft carrier of the Anubis Legion of more than 1.5 kilometers, and there is a ship group that is exactly the same as the two half-ruin warships under the Tang side...... How effective they are, what happened on the battlefield in no man's land has been demonstrated.

The masked man told them that with the help of the Tang side, they could win the victory on the front line, but they could not save their own people. The Anubis Legion didn't care whether the Mengya Empire won or lost in this war, they only cared whether Captain Tang lived or died.

If the Covenant government chooses the Anubis Legion and works together to kill the Tang side, then they will force Kirclave I to come to the negotiating table and promise to return the Tiantuk star system and the Mubarak star system to the Star Alliance, and will also help the Star Alliance to completely annihilate the Deep Diver fleet, so that the Liberal Party can gain a good reputation and continue to govern.

"So, we don't have a choice." Adam? Oliver's words were full of helplessness and melancholy: "What can you do if you know that those people are a bunch of hooligans? The cost of offending a hooligan is much, much greater than the cost of offending a good person, we seem to be on top of it, it seems that we have absolute power, but who can understand our helplessness? ”

"In this war, we want the integrity of sovereignty and the dignity of the country, not the hundreds of millions of citizens who have lost their lives for those few desolate lands."

Larry, the Republican representative who hasn't spoken? Cook said: "If someone threatens you to betray your friend with a knife on your neck, you will surely say, 'This is absolutely impossible, you can just kill me,' but what will you do when that person puts a knife on your family's neck?" Is it to save your family, or to betray your friends? ”

Lu Yuankui said: "Because we love this country and its people deeply, we have no choice but to choose the former in terms of national interests and personal feelings." I'm sure you can understand that there is no right or wrong in this kind of question, let alone justice or evil...... Like Dalton? Lieutenant General Evelyn, he is our hero, you are not, and Tang Fang is not not uncounted. ”

"Dalton? Evelyn is the hero of this country...... According to Tang Fang's choice, he may become a national sinner and bear a lot of infamy, or he may lie quietly in the grave and be an unsung hero. ”

Terry? The anger on Ferdinand's face gradually disappeared, and a hint of struggle appeared in his eyes: "So you all know about this, and only I am in the dark?" ”

Lu Yuankui and Larry? Cook didn't speak, which tends to represent acquiescence. Even if they just said to Terry? Ferdinand lied, saying that he didn't know anything about it, and that it was the Liberals.

Peggy? Gasol took over and said, "Take a step back, even if there is no pressure from the Anubis Legion. Tang Fang helped the Star Alliance win victory after victory, and his reputation among the people became higher and higher, and he became a sage-like figure, what impact will it have on the Star Alliance society? ”

"He is the leader of Garcia's rebels and is destined to fight the Stewart family to the end, and only one side of the two sides can survive this confrontation. However, from the perspective of the interests of the Star Alliance, we just hope that the Monya Empire and the Sulu Empire will accept defeat, return the territory that occupied us to us, let the Star Alliance gain sovereignty and integrity, and let the people straighten their backs...... This shows that there are some gaps between us and Tang Fang's goals, but as Tang Fang helps the Star Alliance more and more, people's trust in him becomes stronger and stronger, and they gradually feel that they owe him a lot, coupled with the chain effect brought about by the Dortmund tragedy, the people's psychology begins to get out of control, and the hatred for the Mengya Empire and the Sulu Empire has developed from the bud to the towering tree. Pretend you didn't see it? We promised, and the people won't either. However, if the Tang side is fully supported, God knows how Kirklough will react after realizing that his time is running out, and no one can guarantee that the Dortmund tragedy will not be repeated. ”

"We don't know if Tang Fang did it deliberately, whether it was intentional or unintentional. It is now the case that he has kidnapped the will of the people with the impact of his actions. And the Anubis Regiment kidnapped the lives of its citizens. Faced with this situation, if it were you, what would you choose? People can be blind, they can be emotional, but those of us who hold the power and decide the future direction of the country cannot. ”

"In countries like the Monya Empire and the Sulu Empire, power is more of a symbol of wealth, women, and tyrannical lawlessness. But in the Star Alliance, power is more of a responsibility. Patriotic...... These two words are easy to say, but sometimes it is harder to actually do than to stab yourself. ”

Terry? Ferdinand didn't expect them to come up with so many excuses to excuse themselves and talk about the betrayal so great and selfless. However, he found that he could not find any reason to refute them, and even if he had, he would pale in the face of the general interests of the country.

After learning the news of the Star Alliance's betrayal of the Tang Fang, he came here as quickly as possible, and there was not much time for him to think about the hidden story behind this matter. He thinks he's doing it for the country, Tomlinson? Daller and others likewise consider themselves for the country.

They are all for the sake of a better tomorrow for this country, but they have chosen two diametrically opposed paths.

This reminded him of the time when he treated his son, he said to respect the child's wishes, since he plans to serve the country, then go and kill the enemy like a man, and the father will support you silently behind your back. But the child's mother obstructed it in every possible way, and even forced herself to hurt herself, just so that her son could stay by her side.

They are all for the good of their children, but they have made completely different choices. Afterward...... The child died on the battlefield, and then ...... His wife also left him, leaving him to live alone.

He often wondered if this was God's punishment for him.

Faced with the scene in front of him, he went back to the old days, watching his children look at him with trust and adoration, waiting for him to give advice from his father.

The difference is that it was the child's mother who went against him back then, and now it is the pillar of the country who goes against him.

He loved his son and he loved the country.

The crutches slipped to the ground and made a very harsh sound, Terry? Ferdinand shook his head slightly: "I understand your choice, but ...... If it were me, I would choose Tang Fang. ”

Adam? Oliver asks him what he would do, Tomlinson? Dalle asks him what his choice will be, Peggy? Gasol asks him what his choice will be, even Larry? Cook and Lu Yuankui also asked him what his choice was.

After listening to so many explanations, so many confessions, and so many heartfelt words, he said to those present: "I choose Tang Fang." ”

The firmness of the old man does not need to be impassioned, nor does it have to be sonorous, just to open his mouth and then say the answer to the question.

Secretary of State Reis? Ednan was an acute, he didn't understand Tomlinson? Dalle, Adam? The Oliver have opened their hearts and minds to abandon the hostility brought about by the years of struggle between the Liberals and the Republicans, and sincerely express their thoughts. Ferdinand is still so stubborn.

This old man has always put the interests of the people on his lips, and the media have reported many touching stories of Congressman Terry and his son, emphasizing that the old man's loyalty to the country is unquestionable, but today he has broken with the past convention in the choice between the country and the Tang side and chose to side with the Tang side, which is really incomprehensible.

"Mr. Terry, you are an old man in the council, and I am grateful for your contribution to the Covenant over the years, and am convinced that you are a man who puts the interests of the country first. But today I have wavered from this idea, and I have reason to believe that you have now become an agent of the Tang Fang...... I doubt that the kid used any means to change you to no longer put the country first, or if you lost the ability to look at things rationally because of your health. ”

Les? What Eddinand said wasn't ugly, but it wasn't good, and he was clearly questioning Terry? Ferdinand's position is that the old man has been bribed by the Tang side and has become an agent of Morningstar's interests in the political circles of the Star Alliance. After all, the transactions made by the Tang side and the Star Alliance government were all brokered and actively facilitated by him.

Mr. Secretary of State's words spoke to the true thoughts of everyone present, even those who have always trusted Terry? Ferdinand's Republican congressmen also looked at him suspiciously, hoping that the old man would give a reasonable explanation for today's unusual behavior.

Why would an old man who spent his whole life on national construction, even at the cost of sending his own flesh and blood to the battlefield, choose the latter between the country and the Tang side?

Terry? Ferdinand didn't rush to defend himself, and with his trembling fingers he clicked the dots on the desktop control panel, connected the personal mobile video camera to the projection equipment in the room, and finally opened the projection program.

As soon as the picture suspended in mid-air changed, the entire conference room darkened, and the central starport "aided" by the Star Alliance Navy in the high-altitude orbit appeared in front of everyone, and in the distance, you could see engineering ships shuttling around like swimming fish. After about a few breaths, a huge battleship left the virtual space with a dazzling flash of light and appeared not far from the central military port, like a giant flying centipede moving through the darkness.

Several Republican congressmen beside the old man felt that the ship was somewhat familiar, as if they had seen it somewhere. And the opposite Adam? Oliver, Tomlinson? Dale and the others changed their faces drastically, and their eyes were full of shock.

Shortly after the appearance of the Hades-class aircraft carrier, the camera turned, and the figure of the Fallen Angel appeared near the dock at some point, and then slowly sailed into the berth, lined up in parallel with a Minotaur-class battlecruiser. A few more breaths passed, the Seraph, the Morning Star, and the Right Angel...... Successively appeared in the sky of the Dillard star system. (To be continued.) )
