Life is the most precious resource. The universe is vast, desolation is the eternal theme, and life is indeed the biggest variable. General Hyde is well aware that any decision made today about this variable will affect the fate of the planet, of all of his race. The car slowly passed through the Tianren Square, an ancient means of transportation that could only be seen outside the Central Capital Courtyard. The old general got out of the car steadily, ordered two entourages to wait with the car, and walked slowly to the Central Capital with his assistant.

Qiusu ordered the jade bridge to be silver-plated, the sky was not bright, and the sound of water at the bottom of the bridge seemed to be nothing, so that the originally low bridge corridor increased the sense of steepness and abyss, and the two walked quickly, and the gate of the middle capital retained the majesty of two thousand years. The closed main entrance, which in the imperial era could only be opened when the emperor entered and exited the palace, is now only used for large conclaves for the passage of tens of millions of delegates. Passing through the long opening of the left-side doorway, the early morning daylight was faint, but it flooded into view at the exit, forcing the two to refocus on the majestic scene in front of them. Hyde hadn't been back for 20 years, and he still remembered the shock he felt when he first arrived, and his expression was exactly the same as that of the young man next to him.

"Let's go, don't let the big guys wait" Hyde smiled humorously and slightly sarcastically, so that the assistant immediately realized that he was out of shape, and quickly chased after the general, his eyes spread to the end with the square, and then along the stairs of the Baihui Hall in the courtyard of the central capital, and then occupied by a row of eight human-shaped columns, above the huge courtyard supported by the columns, the golden Menghui had already bathed in the first rays of sunlight in advance, and in time transmitted this beam of light to the ground, to the eyes of the assistant Hanis, Menghui's upward building, You can only look up at an exaggerated angle, the two annex buildings on the left and right are first out of sight and integrated with the sky, and then the towering main building goes deep into the blue sky. Hanes couldn't help but sigh in his heart: the other buildings on this planet have all towered into the sky, with other buildings as the background, and at the same time become the background of other buildings, stretching and interconnected, horizontally and horizontally, and not seeing the light of day. However, the 2,000-year-old palace of the Central Capital Courtyard uses emptiness as an element, showing the solemnity of the Allies, and it is also the only remaining struggle and dignity on this planet.

Outside the hall of the hundred associations, two lines of ceremonial personnel lined up, and the chairman of the Allied Powers was already standing at the door to greet him.

"Welcome back to the motherland, meritorious General Hyde," the chairman greeted with a completely courteous expression, while extending his long-reserved right hand to greet him. General Hyde walked briskly through the ceremonial procession to take the handshake, and the handshake also reflected the neatness and steadiness of a veteran soldier. "Chairman Mark has won the award, and the old past is not worth mentioning, as if there is a problem in front of him." Mark knew that Hyde must have been suspicious when he was suddenly recalled, but his expression remained unchanged and did not change at all, and he did not give any affirmative or negative attitude to Hyde's words.

The three of them walked into the hall, the height of the dome of the hall was exaggerated, all of them were embroidered with gold wire and red velvet, echoing the gold and red carpet up and down, the center of the circular main hall was open, the flags of the allied states were hung high, and they had been hanging from the dome to the height of the people.

"The venue has not yet been arranged, and the representatives of the states and the delegates attending the meeting have not yet arranged to enter, so please go to the reception room for a short rest."

"Delegates in attendance? All the delegates of the Confederates? ”

"To tell you the truth, this meeting has been studied for a long time, and it will be presided over by the head of the Allied Powers himself, and if the general asks me about the specific topics of the meeting, I will definitely know everything, but I know nothing, so I ask the general not to blame or be prejudiced because of it."

The general glanced at the chairman suspiciously, then stopped talking, and walked straight into the reception room.

"General, don't blame, receive you with tribute from the planet Gaia" The pale green tea soup in the crystal cup is becoming more and more transparent" Ecologists have tried their best, but the species on this planet continue to decrease, and the current basic food crop is only corn, and the tea provided by the general from Gaia can only be applied for when receiving returnees from exploring the stars or at the end of the year, and the approval level is also terrifying."

"It's okay, if you like it, Chairman Mark can visit Gaia at any time, I still need your guidance for a lot of work there, and by the way, I also give advice to the "Nirvana Plan" Despite his best efforts, when he heard about the "Nirvana Plan", a trace of unease flashed on Mark's face, and he was immediately caught by the general's sharp eyes. At this time, Hyde already knew in his heart that this urgent call, "to discuss the boundary between the Blue Regions and the Carmon people about Gaia", was definitely just an excuse, and it was very likely that the "Nirvana Project" that they had painstakingly operated for a century would end here, or at least encounter unprecedented resistance. It's just uncertain whether this resistance is coming from within or outside.

"Did you see Chairman Mark?"

"In the reception room"

The sound outside the door prepared the people who were talking in the room to be interrupted, and then three knocks were heard.

The man was tall and thin, with silver hair indicating that he was about the same age as Hyde, and he was surprised to see Hyde here.

"The general came early enough, and he worked hard all the way."

"No matter how hard it is, it is not worth one-ten-thousandth of what Captain Nat suffered on the planet Nat."

"Yes, it is our honor to be able to provide any little support to Gaia, and as for hard labor, it is even more insignificant than the continuation of the race. By the way, I didn't expect you to arrive so early, I have something to do with Chairman Mark, and I'll come back to catch up later. ”

"What does Captain Turner have to say?"

"I still want you to come out for advice, and several star commanders disagree with the conference affairs team on the issue of meeting seating arrangements. Captain Pangu insisted that the stars could not reach a consensus and should sit at the main table together, and the conference team thought that the stars should send representatives to take the seats, and I personally agreed with the latter, after all, I had been in the back for a century, and I understood all of Hyde's thoughts. ”

"If that's the case, it's going to be difficult, didn't the captains focus on the discussion and summarize their opinions before receiving the notice of the meeting?"

"I received a notice yesterday, several star commanders quarreled all night without an answer, today I came to bother you to coordinate, I suggest that you personally educate these ghosts, they don't buy my account, you represent the Führer, they still have to listen anyway, I will go with you"

"No need, it just so happens that the general has no one to receive you, you are old friends again, the tribute tea before the rain has just been brewed, and after drinking this pot with the general, the meeting will start soon."

Hyde and Turner were old acquaintances, and they saw through Turner's ruse at a glance. couldn't help but joke: "The star chief has a lot of opportunities, when did he start to take on the coordination affairs between the planets?" ”

"There is no disagreement at all, old leader, I tell you, we had nothing to discuss last night, and before the meeting began, we unanimously agreed to the current strategic plan."

Before he finished speaking, Turner raised his head to drink the teacup that originally belonged to Mark in front of him, and when he swallowed it, he remembered what Mark said before leaving, and then he couldn't help but recall the experience of the taste buds just now. Turner couldn't help but scold, "Mark, how many good things are hidden, and he, the logistics star, is even difficult to drink with a thick tea stalk."

"In that case, then I ask General Turner to explain what happened to make the whole of our empire so secretive that a man like me who is about to die must be kept tight-lipped like this."

"They are always like this, looking ahead and looking behind, mysterious and secretive, but I don't think this time this matter is a secret from you alone, or rather, the original intention of the allies is not a secret, otherwise they will not notify all the star commanders, the presidents in charge until all the delegates attend the meeting."

"Okay, don't sell it, quickly reveal the information, the meeting may be about to start"

"That's right, two weeks ago, we received a team of pioneers, their starship has been seriously damaged, all the personnel on board have been killed, because the black box uses the highest standard of secrecy encryption, only the head of the Allied countries has the right to crack it, we dare not deal with it rashly, so it was handed over to the allies, after only two days, all the warships of the allies except Gaia Star were recalled, the Führer personally inspected the deployment of the galaxy defense system, a week ago a group of fleets with the same strength deployed in the Gaia system set off, has sailed to the direction of Carmon, Several star commanders analyzed what incredible secrets the pioneers had discovered, and there may be three main situations: first, the appearance of a second Gaia; Second, a second Carmon appeared; Third, something terrible has appeared, and once it is occupied, it may completely change the game situation between Carmon and Blue Domain. ”

Hyde finally understood why the allies had mysteriously summoned him, and none of these three situations could be solved by gravitational wave communication.

"To fight and make peace is inseparable from the general, this is the unanimous opinion of the star commanders, we have been adrift outside the home planet for too long, most people live to realize the dream you put forward a century ago, to this day, all the planets have changed, the experimental star results are more significant, the ideal is realized immediately, and a century of effort must not be lost because of any obstacles, in other words, even if the war with Carmon starts, it is also inseparable from the general, so the so-called star commander disagreement just now is purely acting, the purpose is to let me come over and say such a sentence to the general- In the war and peace, please keep your absolute authority, because everyone only believes in you. ”

Mark's urging came as quickly as expected, after all, the star commanders were re-acting, and no one wanted to bring the whole thing to the Führer. Unexpectedly, the candidate who came to urge in place of Mark, with small eyes hanging outward, down the narrow nose, is a mouth that can smile without opening his mouth, and the whole face is round and pointed at the bottom, which reminds Hyde of a unique creature in Gaia: the fox.

"Good morning, General and Captain Turner, Director Mark asked me to tell you two that the Captains have reached an agreement that Captain Pangu will serve as the representative of the Captains to attend the meeting, and the venue has been set up, and I can guide the two of you to take your seats."

General Hyde used to going to the toilet before the meeting, not to mention that he drank so much tea today, and the reception room originally had a separate bathroom, but it was out of order today, so the two of them rejected the invitation of the gracious herald to guide the toilet, and drove straight to the bathroom outside the door.

"The son of the treasurer, there are still a few years to change, and he is ambitious." Turner explained in a whisper, and Hyde smiled and nodded, without commenting.

The toilet outside the reception room is also called a public toilet, but the facilities are still luxurious. Every two small rooms form a large room, and are separated from the other large rooms. Hyde had just pushed open the crack in the inner door when he noticed someone standing outside, dressed in black. "There is an assassin" Hyde's first reaction, and immediately activated the force field shield he carried with him, and then performed a set of skilled hand-to-hand combat skills to kill the man in black. Although the process was fast, the other party did not resist in the slightest, which made Hyde hesitate his judgment.

"There are times when the general makes a mistake in judgment? The general probably wouldn't mind letting me go before I introduced myself. ”

Hyde thought to himself that if he was to assassinate, despite the most advanced force field protection, he would be very lucky at such a close distance, and no assassin could dress himself up in black in the white-toned bathroom. This analysis gives a nine-point certainty of the identity of the comer.

"As soldiers, we must always maintain the highest vigilance against danger, and even if we have doubts in our hearts, we must prepare for the worst and deal with it, which is a professional habit. Next, you're going to explain what this is. Is it your professional habit to peek at others going to the toilet? ”

"The general guessed right, this is our professional habit, uninvited, I am the Governor General of Intelligence of the Allied Powers, Li Kangde".

"Time is limited, so I can only make a long story short: 1. Nothing is as it seems, and we don't have enough intelligence to support it; 2. Just like your first reaction, it is recommended to continue to think about one more situation, the worst imaginable scenario, before making all decisions; 3. In any case, to keep your authority, as well as your life, the whole Confederate needs a convincing man, and the people need faith".

The three sentences were like three thunderbolts, which froze Hyde in place, motionless, there was too much information obtained today, and none of them were accurate, and there were thousands of clues, until the sound of urging came from the door. By the time Hyde came to his senses, the man in black had long since disappeared.
