Erilk.

The morning sun shone into the room, and the long conference table was flanked by conservatives and radicals, and although the meeting had not yet begun, no one spoke at the table, and the atmosphere was eclipse.

A little after seven o'clock, a tired John walked in, and before he could sit down, Rand, who had just rushed back to Errirk, stood up: "Boss, have you agreed to their request?" ”

"Yes." John nodded, sat down in his place, closed his eyes and rubbed the corners of his eyes.

Rand's eyes widened with anger, and the anger that had been accumulated overnight instantly exploded: "We have killed so many people, how can you agree?" How can you say yes? ”

John's movements paused, he opened his closed eyes, two sharp eyes looked directly at the angry Rand, and roared in a suppressed voice: "Then what do you want me to do?" Promise nothing, let them continue to bomb the ruined city? Rand, please use your brain, is this something I want to or don't want to do? ”

He was very dissatisfied with Rand's questioning, but the reason why he was relieved to hand over the Zerg troops to Rand's command was because of Rand's unusual and reckless character.

If Rand had been as scheming as Phil, he would have removed Rand a long time ago.

Mick hurriedly played the round: "Rand, pay attention to your attitude!" Then he turned to John, "Boss, he's just too excited, after all, we're losing all the Zerg troops!" ”

With that, he stealthily kicked Rand.

Rand didn't say a word, and sat heavily in his chair, not hiding his displeasure in the slightest.

Everyone knows that the conflict between Rand and John is not a day or two, the former has always been committed to improving the overall strength of the Resistance, hoping that the Resistance will one day be able to fight against any foreign enemy, whether human or alien.

And the latter is not so ambitious at all, since the resistance army completely occupied Australia, John gradually became unenterprising, began to pursue all kinds of enjoyment, just beautiful women raised a dozen.

Many people are very unhappy with John's lack of progress, but John did play a key role in the growth of the Resistance, and apart from being unenterprising and greedy for enjoyment, there is nothing about John's failure to do his duty as a boss.

Counting through the Resistance, except for Professor Carter, there is no second person whose reputation can match John's, so no matter how dissatisfied Rand is with John, John is still a boss that no one can replace.

John is a very nostalgic person, although Rand's confrontation made him very unhappy, but it did not show it in the room, he motioned for Mick to sit down, and turned his head to look at the empty seat next to him: "Pilard, what about the professor?" ”

Pilard shrugged: "The professor is still in the lab, you know, he doesn't care about these chores. ”

John had a headache and said, "Pilard, you know what happened yesterday, we need professors!" ”

Pierard looked helpless: "I said the same thing, but the professor said that what you mean is what he means, sorry, I can't influence the professor's thoughts, I think even if you go and invite it yourself, the professor will not give up the experiment." ”

"Okay, okay, I see!" John sighed and swept his gaze over the crowd sitting on either side, all but the professor had arrived, many of whom had arrived overnight from elsewhere.

John whispered, "Okay, let's get started, I don't want to repeat what happened yesterday, I think you all know it." I have had a very difficult sleepless night, and now, I want to hear your thoughts, who will represent us in the negotiations, where is our bottom line, whether we should agree to the conditions of the northern capital, and what kind of conditions should we propose! There are still some questions that I didn't expect, but you can ask and talk freely! ”

As soon as the words fell, Rand said unceremoniously: "If you want me to say, you shouldn't negotiate with Beidu!" ”

John responded in a very calm tone: "I have already explained this question and do not want to repeat it again. Rand, if you don't have anything to say, then please keep your mouth shut, OK? ”

Rand wanted to say something, but Mick hurriedly grabbed his arm: "Rand, you are not happy in your heart, and the boss is also unhappy, but the boss is the head of all of us, he can't be as willful as you, OK?" ”

"I'm sorry, boss." "But they're so deceitful, we have to teach them a lesson, and if they're just soft," Rand reluctantly said, "But they're going to get too much." ”

"It's okay, Rand." John said casually, "I understand your concerns, but our strength is too weak, and we are far from being the opponent of the Northern Capital, so all of us must be sensible, inhumanly reasonable, otherwise we will most likely face death and destruction." ”

"The boss is right." Mick said, "Our losses are indeed huge, but we can't just think about revenge and come back, we have to think about how other people will survive, we have come to this point with great difficulty, and we can't ruin everything because of a moment of anger!" ”

John said: "That's right, so no matter how big the loss, we have to sit down at the negotiating table!" ”

"Are you ready to agree to their terms? BOSS？ Rand asked again, "I still haven't figured out how we clashed with the Northern Capital!" ”

"I don't know as much as you do." John sighed helplessly and turned his head to look at the end of the conference table, "Phil, do you have any news?" ”

"Yes Boss, although the communication between us and the ruined city has been broken, I did find something useful." Phil's thin face covered with ravines was expressionless, "Earlier yesterday, a group of motorized infantry landed near the ruined city, and they are the sea wolves that the northern capital said. ”

"Damn intruder!" Rand was furious.

Phil glanced at him and continued, "The garrison of the ruined city clashed with this group, killing a few and taking a few prisoners, and only two escaped. ”

John's eyes widened: "What's going on?" Didn't I stress again and again that there must be no conflict with human beings? What the hell is going on with the Abandoned City Army? Don't they know to hide? ”

John is not stupid, he knows very well that the level of equipment of the Resistance is far inferior to that of humans, so he did not fight against human powers from the beginning.

Although the Resistance is in a safe corner, the Zerg scattered on various battlefields continue to send news back to Erilk, so John has a very clear understanding of the global situation, and is also aware of the operation of clearing the island in the north, southeast and south.

As early as the landing of the southeast cluster in Luzon, John predicted that the northern capital was likely to land in Australia in the near future, and issued a restraining order to all the troops under the command of the resistance, for fear that the resistance would clash with the northern capital.
