Zhongnanhai.

The conference room was full of smoke, and the participants were all worried, and the first brother sat down at the end of the conference table, took out a cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath and said, "I called everyone here today for the business of Europa, and no one knows about the matter of Europa, right?" The aliens have come to our doorstep, I mean we have to find a way to solve this problem as soon as possible, or ......" he took another breath and puffed out two white smoke from his nostrils, "Strike first and then suffer, and when the aliens come, it will be too late." ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, they all have something to say, but no one wants to be a bird.

Qiu Tian took a puff of cigarette: "The threat of Europa to us is indeed very serious, but from the information we currently have, there is no sign of aliens attacking, I think we can put Calmede aside for a while, give priority to solving the problems of Africa and South America, and then go back to deal with Europa, so that not only has a time buffer, but the fleet can also be more prepared." ”

"It is indeed a good strategy to defend against the enemy, but before attacking, we must first consider our strength, taking the initiative to attack is equal to fighting away, and our fleet itself is weaker than the enemy, and then give up the home advantage...... The chances of defeating the aliens are slim. ”

The first brother's eyes were calm, but his tone was a little stern: "This is your opinion?" ”

Qiu Tianning nodded: "It is said that offense is the best defense, but the enemy is strong and I am weak, and taking the initiative to attack is equivalent to a moth fighting fire......"

"I'm against it!" Wu Shenglong suddenly interrupted, "Minister, we are not right about things, aliens are not moving now, but it doesn't mean that they will not move in the future, you said that our strength is insufficient, it's better to wait, then the aliens are also not strong, so they have been standing still?" The aliens haven't moved, they must be holding back, and when they really move, it's too late for us to do it again, we can't wait, even if we send a few fewer warships, harassment and containment are better than waiting, right? ”

"Harassment? How to harass? Qiu Tianning retorted, "Even asteroids can't smash Europa, aliens don't need to guard Ganymede at all, we can't take anyone at will, and it's more advantageous to defend it than to attack rashly." ”

"What about waiting for the aliens to call? Can we hold it? ”

Qiu Tianning sighed: "At least there is a home advantage, there is a military base on the moon, and the fleet can hold out longer." ”

"And then? Beiyue Continent, Space City, and everything else destroyed by aliens? ”

"At least we did our best, and we did our best! If you send out the fleet as you say, and end up the fleet is all folded on Europa, what resistance will you have when the aliens come over? Fists or teeth? Qiu Tianning waved his arm vigorously, and his passionate tone suddenly became extremely gloomy, "At the very least, we can buy a little more time and send a few more groups of people to the dungeon." ”

Everyone present knows that if the aliens call, the hibernators sent to the dungeon will never get a chance to recover, but it is one thing to know whether to do it, but it is another thing to do it or not, and many times even if they know that it is useless, they must persevere.

There was only a cigarette butt left between the fingers of the first brother, and he pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and twisted it: "Vote by show your hand, agree to raise your hand without moving." ”

Several arms were raised in the conference room at once.

The first brother counted, and a total of seven people agreed.

"Put it down, raise your hand in favor of taking the initiative." The first brother said again.

A few more arms were raised.

"Put it down." The first brother said, "Seven votes for defense and six votes for offense, what do you mean by not raising your hand?" Abstain or have other ideas? ”

Huo Qiang, who participated in the meeting by video, coughed lightly: "Everyone, I don't think it's a good idea to simply attack or defend, my opinion is to concentrate on the main defense, send a small number of troops to reconnoiter and harass, and fight if you can't fight and run, in a word, you can't let the aliens live too much, it would be better if you could occupy a few strongholds on Europa." ”

The first brother was very surprised, hesitated for a moment and said, "Do we have this ability?" ”

"So far...... No! Huo Qiang frankly admitted, "Whether you can occupy the stronghold or not, air power is the key, if you can't deal with the alien fleet, you can't talk about landing on Europa, and the lesson of the Third Fleet can't be forgotten." ”

Wu Shenglong pouted dissatisfiedly: "I thought you had some good ideas!" ”

Huo Qiang ignored him at all: "I apply for a vote!" ”

"Raise your hand if you agree to vote and agree with the harassment of the small troops!" The first brother said.

In the conference room, an arm was immediately raised, and the first brother counted his arms and said, "Put it down, eleven votes in favor...... Lao Qiu, why did you raise your hand? ”

Qiu Tianning smiled: "I went to the tip of the horns before, and now I have come out." ”

Wu Shenglong pouted again, and said in his heart I had thought of it a long time ago, why did I let the surnamed Huo take the lead?

"You!" The first brother shook his head, "Then it's decided, Huo Qiang, whether it is defense or harassment, your fleet has to take the lead, and the burden on your body is heavy!" ”

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Huo Qiang smiled calmly.

"Alright, get the plan out as soon as possible." The first brother looked at Qiu Tianning again, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Yes!" Qiu Tianning nodded, "The General Staff suggests that the Marine Corps be abolished!" ”

The first brother was stunned: "What reason?" ”

Qiu Tianning said: "That's the case, everyone knows that space is the world of warships and fighters, judging from the previous expeditions, the marines basically played no role, and let the aliens capture a group of people." The Third Fleet has successfully landed, but apart from that bit of intelligence, it is almost a complete failure, and the Marine Corps has a high cost of equipment, and it does not play a large role but consumes a lot, and according to the situation we are currently facing, there is no need to retain the Marine Corps at all, so it is recommended that the Marine Corps be abolished and the saved resources should be used in the fleet or other aspects. ”

The first brother looked at the screen: "Huo Qiang, you are the head of the fleet, tell me your opinion." ”

Huo Qiang pondered for a moment and said: "Judging from the situation of the expeditionary force, the marines really did not play a role, as for whether it dragged its feet, it is up to you to see if it is a matter of opinion...... The Marines are of little use right now, but I must warn that it is easy for the Marines to disband, but it is not so easy to recover. ”

"Any other comments?" The first brother asked, looked around for a week and said, "If not, vote in favor of removing the Marines' show of hands!" ”

A few arms were raised in the conference room, but Qiu Tianning was not among the people who agreed...... The fact that he merely brought his views to the meeting for discussion does not mean that he agrees with the intentions of the General Staff.

The first brother just raised his hand to say against it, but the door of the conference room suddenly opened from the outside, and Liang Junsheng hurriedly broke in.
