There was silence in the conference room.

But judging by the expressions on the faces of the attendees, the crowd did not seem to be too surprised.

After all, in the past six months, there has been a surge of public sentiment in various regions of the world, and the anger of the people has long been ignited by these rumors, and it is only a matter of time before a rebellion arises.

Seedorf said with a solemn face: "For the rebellion, the coalition government has already planned in advance, and everyone only needs to implement the plan according to the plan. ”

"First, whether it is our army or the rebel army, the main points of contention between the two sides are mainly limited to the planetary engine, in order to prevent damage to the planetary engine, neither the enemy nor the enemy is allowed to use heavy weapons, this is the bottom line!"

"Secondly, the reason for this war should be clear to all of you, whether there will be a helium flash in the sun, whether the rebels say it or not, the scientists say it! I hope that all of you here will be firm in your conviction that truth is on our side and justice is on our side! ”

"Third, this war is related to the survival of human civilization, but I don't want this war to hurt the vitality of human civilization. Therefore, the battle will be mainly confined to the ground, and the space fleet will remain neutral! The Space Fleet will not join either side unless one of them uses heavy weapons! The above points will be used as the rules of engagement for this civil war, and I hope that everyone will strictly abide by them! ”

……

Next, Seedorf made relevant arrangements for the work of the wartime coalition government, and the meeting was concluded.

Pang Xuelin listened to the whole process, and as the chairman of the mathematics committee of the Science Committee, he didn't need to do much.

At the end of the meeting, Pang Xuelin was about to return to his office, but as soon as he walked to the door of the conference room, he was stopped by Seedorf's secretary.

"Chairman Pang, Mr. Seedorf, please."

Pang Xuelin was slightly stunned, nodded, and followed the secretary to Seedorf's office.

Upon entering the office, Seedorf was fiddling with the tea set.

Although the war had broken out, Seedorf did not seem to be so anxious, but rather felt a lot more relaxed than usual.

Seeing Pang Xuelin coming in, Seedorf smiled and said, "Xiao Pang, you are here, sit down first, and I will make you a pot of tea!" ”

Soon the office was overflowing with fragrant tea, and in this era, tea was a luxury among luxury goods, and only a very few people were eligible to enjoy it.

With Pang Xuelin's status, the tea that can be distributed every year is only a few taels.

Pang Xuelin picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Mr. Seedorf, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

Seedorf muttered: "Xiao Pang, how long do you think we can hold out on to this war?" ”

Pang Xuelin couldn't help but be stunned, and said after a moment of silence: "How long to hold on depends on our determination, if the coalition government uses the destruction of the planetary engine to blackmail the rebels into negotiations, then it will not be a problem to drag on for a few years, or even wait until the solar helium flash bursts." But if this is not done, once the morale of the army is shaken, it will be three months in the short and half a year in the long, and the coalition government will be defeated! ”

Seedorf laughed and said, "It's a good idea to blackmail the rebels by destroying the planetary engine, but we can't do that, at least not in this coalition government...... However, it is enough to hold out for three to six months, and the battle with the rebels still has to be fought, and how can the human civilization that left the infant of the solar system for the first time be reborn without the baptism of blood and fire! ”

Pang Xuelin opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

In the past few years, the coalition government has long unified its thinking from within, and even from a purely rational point of view, Pang Xuelin himself agrees with the idea of the coalition government.

It's just that people are still emotional creatures after all, and he can't watch these old people who have obviously made great contributions to human civilization die.

Seedorf turned his gaze to Pang Xuelin and said, "Xiao Pang, there is a task I am going to hand over to you to complete." ”

"What task?"

Pang Xuelin wondered.

Seedorf said: "The latest news ten minutes ago, all the two hundred and twenty-eight dungeons in North America have broken out in rebellion, and it is spreading at a very fast speed, there are also signs of instability in Europe, Paris, London, it is expected that the rebellion will break out in two to three days, I just received a message from the former director of the North American Management Committee - to be exact, it should be one of the leaders of the rebels, he hopes that the coalition government can respond to the demands of the people head-on, and hand over control of the planetary engine to the rebels, which I refused." However, I made a proposal to him to negotiate an armistice between the government and the rebels, and he agreed. I think about it, on the side of the coalition government, you are the most suitable person to negotiate. ”

Pang Xuelin frowned and said, "Why me?" ”

Seedorf said: "The reason is very simple, on the one hand, you have a high prestige and good reputation, and the rebels can not trust anyone, but you should be an exception, on the other hand, these people have kidnapped public opinion to come to power, once the helium flash breaks out in the future, their end is difficult to say, I hope you can befriend some of them, so that you can stand up and clean up the mess in the future!" ”

Pang Xuelin looked at Seedorf, and the two looked at each other, as if they could see each other's thoughts from each other's eyes.

Pang Xuelin got up and said, "Mr. Seedorf, I think there is a more important reason!" You don't want me to get too involved in this civil war in case I get caught up in the political reckoning later, that's why keep me away from Hope City! ”

Seedorf smiled: "Xiao Pang, your political sensitivity is even higher than I imagined, and I am more optimistic about your future!" How about it, would you like to be a negotiator? ”

Pang Xuelin shook his head and said, "Mr. Seedorf, I'm sorry to disappoint you, I refuse to participate in this negotiation!" ”

Seedorf was slightly stunned and wondered: "Why?" ”

Pang Xuelin said: "I have my pursuit, just like you are willing to give your life for the future of civilization, I can't know that the other party is wrong, and I have to make peace with the other party!" And do you think these rebel leaders, really think that the solar helium flash will not break out? ”

The smile on Seedorf's face gradually dissipated, and after a long silence, he nodded: "I understand!" You go back first, I'll think about this matter again! ”

……

Coming out of Seedorf's office, there were staff members rushing by.

Most of these people have a trace of anxiety and uneasiness on their faces.

In the past, even if human civilization was facing a great crisis, Pang Xuelin had never seen such an expression in these coalition government workers.

After all, in the past, they faced all kinds of natural disasters, asteroids, earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, and solar helium flashes!

And this time, the enemy they faced was the human heart!

The coalition government has lost the hearts and minds of the people!
