Volume 3 The Insect War Chapter 257 (3)
"What is this? How so? ”
Voices like this in the conference room came and went, the people in the room were all powerful people of the empire, and the information they could have in their hands was definitely much more than that of ordinary people, although they were not familiar with Morning Star, but the minimum information of the insects was still there. But the hologram in front of me completely subverted these people's cognition.
Morning Star can understand the reason why these people are surprised, it is like an ordinary person suddenly seeing a teddy dog that is uniformly bigger than a car, even if the ordinary teddy is cute, once it becomes a giant dog, no one will want to approach it anymore, not to mention that this jumping worm is infamous.
Chenxing held a handheld computer in his hand, and while looking at the information provided to him by his subordinates, he said: "Well, wait a minute, let me see, the physiological structure of this jumping worm is completely no different from that of ordinary jumping worms, the body density is slightly smaller than that of ordinary jumping worms, and the strength of the bone structure is basically the same." It's strange how Abaddon did this, which did not conform to the rules of physics, and the size of the body increased dramatically in a short period of time, and why did the body remain the same as it was? ”
As if talking to himself, Morningstar projected the data onto the screen of the conference room under the gaze of everyone. Although everyone here may not be able to fully understand these things, they can still grasp the most basic knowledge. Morningstar's doubts were also doubts in their hearts, because they all focused their eyes on the old man who had talked to Morningstar before, the old man who was full of words in the field of imperial science and technology.
"Dean Tigalon, what's going on?"
The old man's name turned out to be Tigaron, and it dawned on Morningstar when he heard this name that he had heard of it before. It is no exaggeration to say that Morningstar is a good student, and in the accumulation of knowledge, Morningstar has never relaxed, in other words, Morningstar is also a scholar, or a scholar who knows martial arts. When Morningstar first entered the Yan Academy, he heard the name Tigalon in a professor's lecture, and the professor at that time admired Tigalon very much, and it could be called a fanatical belief. Under the influence of that professor, Morningstar also longed for Tigalon. Now, this old man who can be called an idol is in front of him, and he is talking to him, which makes Morning Star's heart excited.
Tigalon, who was questioned by everyone, frowned at this moment and fell into deep thought.
After mankind entered the interstellar voyage, the speed of scientific and technological progress is simply by leaps and bounds, but many basic principles are still very stable, such as the law of conservation. And the giant jumping worm that appeared this time makes people feel a little against this law. Therefore, Tigalen was also a little overwhelmed.
"I don't think our technological prowess may be able to explain this, but since it happened, there must be a reason to find it." Tigalon was indeed a rigorous scientist, and even if this incident had a huge impact on him, he could still evaluate it very pertinently. Tigalon looked at Morning Star, his tone was very sincere, and said, "Lord Morning Star, I have a reluctant request. ”
"Please."
"It stands to reason that this giant insect was killed by you, and according to the mages of the Empire, you have the right to deal with it, therefore, I implore you to hand over the corpse of this jumping worm to me, and of course, I will compensate you accordingly." Tigalon's request did not surprise Morning Star, even if Tigalon didn't say it, Morning Star would find someone to study the corpse of the jumping worm, after all, this kind of gigantic thing that did not affect the composition of the body was too weird, if this kind of gigantic insect did not affect the composition of the body, if this point was not clarified, I am afraid that this gigantic insect will bring a lot of trouble to humans on the battlefield in the future.
"Dean Tigalon, I don't need your compensation, but I also have a request, I don't know if you can meet it?"
The expression on Morningstar's face was like that of a little fox, very cunning, but Tigalon didn't know why he didn't feel displeased, but instead showed a look that I understand, and replied, "No problem, I know what you want." If there is a result, I will share it with you as soon as possible. Tigalon said, but then he felt a little inappropriate, after all, if these things were studied, they should also belong to the Empire's confidential information, so he turned his head to look at Vistock and asked, "Do you think this is okay?" Yuan is born first. ”
Can Vistock not agree? Even if he wants to keep this information to himself, Katerina will probably give it to Morning Star privately, this daughter of his own has been fascinated by Morning Star, why should he be this bad person. With this thought, Vistock was relieved, nodded, and did not say a word, but cast a meaningful look at Morning Star, as if to say, boy, you owe me again.
Morningstar understood what Vistock meant, and gently shook Katarina's slender jade hand that was stretched into his palm, and then continued: "Everyone, with all due respect, in the human camp, except for the warriors of the Alliance Agron Star Zone, there should be no one who has a deeper understanding of the Heavenly Mandate Sect than me, and it is no exaggeration to say that after this battle, I have a very profound experience. I don't think the Mandate of Heaven has always taken the war on the human side to heart, and in the words of my staff, it is more likely that they are using the human race as a testing ground, I wonder what you think? ”
There was a brief silence, and after a long time, the Duke of Wellington spoke, "Morningstar, you have something to say, there is no need to beat around the bush like this. Your presence here today shows that the Führer has given you enough trust and that you have something to say. I guess what you're going to say can't be a battle summary, right? ”
Sure enough, they were all old foxes, and they knew from the beginning that Morning Star would definitely have something important to say this time, but they just looked left and right about him, flickered his words, and took Morning Star to a detour, and then struck back the horse pistol, pushing Morning Star to the cusp of the storm, and he was a high Diaoyu Tai.
If it is placed in normal times, Morningstar has a trick to deal with Wellington, but now the situation is special. Morning Star knows very well how much influence the Fan family has in the republic, and it is even more clear that the republic has lost the forces under the control of the Fan family, will
Overstretched in the battle against the Mandate of Heaven Sect, full of loopholes. And these loopholes are simply not something that can be plugged by relying on ItGleason alone. At this time, the alliance is still overwhelmed by the affairs of the Agron Star Sector, and I am afraid that it will not experience assistance to the Republic for a while and a half. But the empire is different, Morning Star has smashed the conspiracy of the Mandate of Heaven Sect in the empire, and also has a very good relationship with the upper echelons of the empire. If Morningstar asks the Empire to send troops to help, then Vistock will definitely not refuse, after all, it is impossible for Vistock not to understand the truth of cold lips and teeth. However, as Vistock said, he can unilaterally support Morningstar, but it is up to Morningstar to convince others. And among these people, the first to bear the brunt is probably the Duke of Wellington.
Suppressing the desire to earn a fight with the Duke of Wellington, Morningstar said: "Lord Duke, you are right, I do have something to say, and this matter is related to the future of the empire, and even the future of the entire human camp, are you interested?" ”
The Duke of Wellington pursed his lips in disdain, clasped his hands on his chest, and did not speak, a gesture that apparently told Morningstar that he would not cooperate if there were not enough convincing reasons.
Of course, Morningstar understood Wellington's movements, and although he was very unhappy, his face was still full of smiles, and he said, "After the battle, I had a round of discussions with the Führer, and a basic consensus has been reached. However, the Führer is a democratic leader, and he does not want the empire to become a hall of words, so he asks me to make a statement to you, hoping to get your support. ”
There was a slight commotion at the conference table, naturally because Morningstar said that Vistock had reached an agreement with him. This information is important, at least for the neutrals. Originally, Vistock's strength in the empire was stronger than Wellington, and if the Morning Star was added as a strong reinforcement, it would really come to the day when he was going to tear his face, I am afraid that the Duke of Wellington was really not an opponent.
Morningstar waited quietly for a moment, and when the conference room was quiet again, Morningstar said: "As we all know, the Republic is now in a crisis, and the invasion of the Golden Farm Star by the Mandate of Heaven Sect has pushed some of the unsightly villains of the Republic to the table. That's right, I'm talking about the Fan family. The Fan family has a very strong force behind the military of the republic, although their defection this time will not hurt the republic, but you are all capable people who govern the country, and you should also know that the republic cannot make a desperate bet for the Fan family. After all, there are still many places that need to be maintained, and even to prevent the young people from taking advantage of the fire to rob. With that, Morningstar shifted his gaze to the faces of the previous few people who had been in a state of flux. And the people who were seen by the morning star felt their faces hot. The little ones seem to be talking about them.
"Itgleason's forces have already opened the Republic's Golden Farms, and I have received a request for assistance from Mr. Zhu Nianguo, hoping that I can help him win as many allies as possible. Therefore, you can also see me as an envoy of the republic. "Morningstar knew very well that he couldn't continue to dwell on the previous issue, this kind of small punishment was as long as he wanted
It was enough to deter those people, so he took the initiative to change the subject and said: "For as long as I can remember, my father, Leighton and Morningstad, have not told me for the first time that the Republic and the Empire are strategic allies. I don't know what the magnates of the empire think of this, at least I agree with it unilaterally. ”
Morningstar moved his father out, and he felt that many of the people present might have dealt with his father, and sending the legendary special operations elite of this republic to these people should bring more credibility to his later words.
Sure enough, as Morningstar expected, many people nodded lightly unconsciously after hearing Leighton's name.
Morningstar made up his mind and continued, "When I was studying at the Yan Academy, one of my economics teachers once explained the economic strength of our Republic, the Empire, and the Alliance. I have to say that we have to admit that the economic strength of the alliance is indeed extremely strong, and if the republic and the empire cannot stand on the united front, it is easy for the alliance to lead the way. There should be no doubt about that, right? ”
Morningstar's words were echoed by the vast majority of people in the room. Since the time of the home planet, the alliance has accumulated countless wealth due to the windfall of war, and then continued to accumulate wealth through various despicable means, and then has a strong ability to control the global economy. After entering the interstellar voyage, they "carried forward" this set of tricks that they had already used by heart, and continued to walk in the forefront of all mankind. After countless mergers and fusions, mankind finally formed three major forces, but this still could not shake the strength of the alliance in the economic field, so the top of the republic and the top of the empire have a default rule, that is, back-to-back against the alliance, and this strategy has continued for hundreds of years, until today.
Morningstar breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Because of the economic advantage, the alliance is also militarily ahead of the Republic and the Empire, so our military alliance relationship can be regarded as a long history. It is precisely because of this solid alliance that the republic and the empire can develop at a high speed without being influenced by others, and gradually catch up with the pace of the alliance step by step. But today, the two solid allies have been invaded by another powerful force, but the difference is that one side has successfully escaped from the predicament, while the other side is still mired in the quagmire due to some accidents. ”
The meaning of Morning Star's words is already obvious, and this is the real purpose of Morning Star's appearance here that everyone has already guessed, and now that the fig leaf has been lifted, the next incident is to fight with real swords and guns.
"You mean that the Empire should send troops to help the Republic put down the chaos?" The Duke of Wellington still clasped his hands on his chest and said in a gloomy voice.
"That's right. I think that as an ally that has always shared honor and disgrace, the Empire should do the same. Morningstar replied firmly and forcefully.
As soon as Chenxing's words fell, he suddenly heard a loud "pop". Turning his head, he saw a man with a full beard standing on a figure not far from the Duke of Wellington
got up, and said angrily: "You really don't have a backache when you stand and talk!" Let the empire send troops to assist, how to calculate the war consumption? Who is responsible for popular mobilization? How do you explain this to the public? What's more, once the troops are sent to war, casualties are inevitable, how to calculate the post-war pension? How can people who have lost loved ones be comforted? Have you thought about all of this? ”
Of course Morningstar thought about it! Ever since the loss of his comrades in the last operation to help Tasilis, Morningstar has been thinking about this question. But Chenxing knew that the results he came up with were not suitable for saying here, so he could only say patiently: "This general is right, what you are considering is indeed a difficult problem to deal with. However, you should also know that our opponents do not just want to occupy the gold farms of the Republic and stop at it, they are afraid that their purpose is the entire starry sky! As you may not know, I heard something from Abaddon in the previous battle. The Heavenly Mandate Sect has a so-called main god, in my opinion, this guy is just a strong man in the high-latitude plane, not a god, but this is not important, the important thing, the purpose of this main god is to cleanse the entire universe, especially human beings. It believes that human beings are an imperfect race, that there are too many genetic defects that need to be changed, and that if they can't be changed, then they will be wiped out! ”
Looking at the incredulous expressions of everyone in the conference room, Morningstar continued, "Of course, you can choose not to believe it, and you can even take what I said earlier as a fart, it doesn't matter. But I implore all of you here to think about the cruel methods of the Manifest Destiny Sect. In the distant future, I was a participant in the original Haiwenxing incident. I won't hide it from you, at that time, on the Haven Star, there were more than 1,000 infected people who died at my hands. So, when someone calls me a butcher, I never refute it. Those infected were once living human beings, and if the Heavenly Mandate Sect didn't have the purpose of exterminating the human race, how could they do such a cruel thing. Also, the Alliance's Agron Sector. Tommy Corinthian's son, Locke, is on the front lines, and I have some connection with him. From Locke, I learned of the brutality of the Manifest Destiny Sect in Aglen, and the banner of human extermination had been raised by their lowest soldiers. When Locke was interrogating the dead, he heard them shouting countless times that they would kill all mankind and sacrifice to the Lord God. Think about it, what does this mean? ”
Leaving time for the men to think about it, Morningstar sat back down, took the water from Katarina, and drank it down. Then he looked around and found that no one had come forward to refute him, I am afraid that these people had already heard about what Morning Star said earlier.
Morningstar stood up again and continued, "You are all familiar with history, and you should know the truth of cold lips and teeth. As one of the three major forces of the human race, the Republic's abilities in any aspect can have a huge impact on the entire human camp. It would be a great loss for humanity to lose this vital component. In the face of such a great catastrophe, we cannot bet on the statement that the Mandate of Heaven Sect wants to exterminate the human race
We can only believe it. ”
Morningstar's words were not exaggerated in the slightest, and at best, they were only a little pessimistic. But it was precisely because of this pessimism that everyone in the audience realized something and fell silent. But Morning Star couldn't sway their thoughts, after all, if this matter was done according to Morning Star's proposal, it would be an open war with the Heavenly Mandate Sect. No one knows how strong the Heavenly Mandate Sect is, if it is really as strong as Morning Star said, then how many people can withstand their retaliation?
"Morningstar, this path you are talking about is just one of them! As you said, their purpose is twofold, one is to exterminate humanity, and the other is to transform humanity. Can't we choose the other? ”
