Chapter 505
?
Hear Stephen's words. Xiao Yu nodded affirmatively and said, "Your Excellency Deputy Commander Stephen, it's impossible for me to joke about such a thing, and I can't stand a joke about such a thing." When Xiao Yu said these words, her tone was also extremely serious, and she didn't have the smile she used to have.
"It seems that what His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief said is true." After taking a serious look at Xiao Yu, General Stephen also said with certainty that although Xiao Yu is now the commander-in-chief of the Federation, it is inevitable that other people will not have other ideas, especially Xiao Yu still jokes with these people from time to time, or deliberately intimidates them for some purpose, which is also the reason that Stephen needs to confirm again at this time.
Xiao Yu didn't say anything about Stephen's words, but waited to see if others had any opinions they wanted to express, but at this time, a middle-aged officer in the Earth Defense Zone mentioned to Xiao Yu at this time: "Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, since you said so, we also believe that the people of the unknown civilization are really here, but since they are here, why didn't they immediately attack us, I see if there is a possibility of peace talks, if so, I don't think any of you want our Federation to fall into war?" Colleagues, do you say yes ......"
"Shut up......" Before the officer finished speaking, a loud shout broke out from the mouth of another officer, saying that although this person was a black officer, no one could despise him, although he was not from the Earth Defense Zone, but in terms of military rank, he was one level higher than the officer on the Earth, if Xiao Yu was not mistaken, this should be the chief of the direction on Jupiter.
Hearing that someone was hiding from himself and yelling, the officer immediately turned his eyes on the black general, although the other party was one level higher than him, but at this time he did not appear afraid, but said-for-tat: "Your Excellency, is there anything wrong with what I said, if it is not right, you can bring it up, why make such a big fuss." β
"I'm sorry, generals, two commanders-in-chief, I just heard that some people here are very ignorant, and what they say is also very unacceptable, I can't help but be angry, I hope you forgive." After the black chief said this, he glanced at the officer with a vague look, obviously telling him that the person I am talking about is you.
Seeing the eyes of the black chief, the officer was also very angry, and immediately stood up and snorted angrily: "Your Excellency, how can I speak irresponsibly, do you want the federation that we have built up with great difficulty to suffer the baptism of war immediately, and isn't peace what the people of the federation want?" β
"Hmph, although your words are good, but you have forgotten the original intention of the establishment of our Federation, have you forgotten that His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief once said that the mission of the existence of our Federation Army is not to prevent these alien attacks, you have not seen each other yet, knowing what the other party thinks, you just want to negotiate peace, hmph, if the Federation is all officers like you, then the Federation may only have to wait for the alien civilization to rule." The black officer retorted directly.
"Your Excellency Commander, what do you mean, are you willing to bring the entire Federation into the flames of war, do you know how much damage this will cause to the Federation, you ......" The officer of the Earth Defense Zone was about to say something, but at this time he was blocked by Stephen, only to hear Stephen say: "Okay, you two don't quarrel, the existence of the Federation military is to protect the safety of the people of the Federation, but it is not as long as you encounter an alien civilization to war, nor as long as you encounter civilization, you can't talk about it, like this, What's the use of our military, who wouldn't talk about peace, any member of the Federation who drags out is a master negotiator, but is this useful, do you understand the meaning of alien civilizations, do you know their intentions to come here, the commander hasn't said anything yet, you guys quarreled first, hmph, this is the quality you should have? β
Faced with General Stephen's questioning, both of them were speechless, and the black officer was better, after all, what he said was supported by many people, and even soldiers had the urge to fight, and they despised the officer who planned to negotiate peace before he met the enemy. As a result, many officers looked at the officer who was thinking about peace talks with contempt at this time, which made the officer angry, but he did not dare to say anything more.
Seeing that no one below was saying anything else, Stephen turned to Xiao Yu at this time and said: "Commander-in-chief, let's talk about it, I think you should know more clearly than the rest of us, you tell everything, I think they also understand our current situation, and they won't be arguing." β
"Yes." Hearing Stephen's words, Xiao Yu nodded slightly before saying: "Generals, I have also understood some of your thoughts through the quarrel between these two generals just now, it is nothing more than one side of the main battle and one side of the main battle, then I tell you now, whether it is the main peace or the main battle, you all don't forget, your duty as a federal soldier, the federal soldier is to protect the federal from foreign forces." In fact, to put it bluntly, if it was in the past, I might have been the main peace, it was because I didn't know the satellite civilization, but now I will be the main battle, even if we are not their opponents, I will also fight, this is not that I was born a war maniac, but I have a position that I have to stay at war, this is precisely because I understand the decision of the unknown civilization, do you want to know what kind of civilization that civilization belongs to, have you heard of the interstellar pirates, the civilization we are about to encounter is a civilization like this, If they find us, do you think they will spare us? β
Although Xiao Yu's voice was flat, it was like a thunderbolt in the ears of the officers below, since the other party is such a civilization, then no matter what, it is impossible for himself and others to compromise, once compromised, it will undoubtedly be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, and there will be no place to turn over.
"But they are not attacking us now, and if we attack them first, it may ...... I think we might be able to talk to each other, ......."
"Bang......" Before the officer in the Earth Defense Zone could finish speaking, Stefa slammed the table in front of him, looked directly at the officer with his eyes, and said coldly: "You shut up for me, peace talks, don't you have anything else to say except peace talks, your blood as a soldier?" Where's the sex, don't you understand what the commander-in-chief said, the other party is an interstellar pirate-like civilization, and it is a high-level civilization, after discovering a civilization like ours that has just stepped into the space age, do you think they may let go of the food in their hands, hmph, I really don't know how a person like you can sit in this position today, guard, give me his rank, these people are not worthy of attending a meeting like ours, and also, give me a strict investigation of who chose this person as the head of the Earth Defense Zone, once it is found out, immediately report it to me and the commander-in-chief, I want to see if there is anyone among them who ignores the federal military law and does something that insults our federal militaryγ β
"Yes, Deputy Commander-in-Chief, we will immediately notify the Earth Defense Zone to arrest him, and we will report back to the two commanders later."
Seriously, this is the first time Xiao Yu has seen General Stephen get so angry, if there is anything in the past, this old general will not make a big move, and will negotiate with Xiao Yu in advance, and this time he actually dealt with the other party directly, obviously this old general was also angry with the other party, and he didn't wait for the fight to start, he thought about peace talks, this kind of person can't want it, especially in front of the enemy who knows that peace talks are impossible, and still make the choice of peace talks, isn't this a slap in the face of these superior officers.
After the guards heard the order, Stephen turned to Xiao Yu and said, "Commander-in-chief, I'm sorry just now, I overstepped my authority and didn't consult with you in advance, this is ......"
"Commander Stephen, what did you say, it is your right to deal with junior officers, although I am the commander-in-chief, but you are also a commander, you don't need to report to me what you do, besides, you handled it completely correctly, so you don't have to apologize to me." Xiao Yu smiled and said to General Stephen, people respect me a foot and I respect people, it is this reason, Stephen will discuss with Xiao Yu first what he does, and now deal with a person, of course Xiao Yu will not say anything, and in the face of such a person, he also wants to deal with it, but Stephen did it first, after all, sometimes within the scope of the military, Xiao Yu still doesn't want to hear two opinions.
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Stephen didn't say anything, for such a thing, if there is any 'private' 'communication' between the two of them, but now in front of so many people, there are important things to discuss, and it is obviously not the time to get entangled in this, so both Stephen and Xiao Yu plan to let this matter pass.
"The two commanders, as well as my colleagues, since the commander-in-chief has said that we are about to face a civilization like an interstellar pirate, then it seems that we have only one way to choose for today's plan, if we don't fight, I'm afraid not only us, but even our people and future generations may be enslaved by the other party, or even killed, so, here, I will first stand up and make a statement, I support the commander-in-chief's main war policy against extraterrestrial civilizations." Just when Xiao Yu and Stephen didn't speak, Qiu Shenghua, who was Xiao Yu's old subordinate, who is now the defense chief of the Earth Defense Zone, was the first to stand up at this time and support his old superior, which also broke the silence of Xiao Yu and Stephen after they closed their mouths.
Seeing that someone stood up first to express their position, the defense ministers and officers of the other districts couldn't help it, especially after hearing what Qiu Shenghua said, that civilization would enslave their relatives and children, they could no longer remain indifferent, even more violent than hearing Xiao Yu tell the other party that the other party was an interstellar pirate-like civilizational reaction. And those young officers, seeing someone take the lead in the main battle, they were obviously even more excited, aren't the things they learned in the academy just war, but it's a pity that the federation has not had a war at all in the past few years, which makes them feel that heroes are useless, and at this time, Qiu Shenghua's words undoubtedly gave them hope, how could they not grasp it.
Seeing the strong reaction of the people below, Xiao Yu smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, this Qiu Shenghua, if he hasn't seen him for a few years, he will be even more inspiring, it seems that it was indeed right to dig him out at that time, if he kept hiding, he might lose such a capable general.
"Hehe, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, it seems that this old subordinate of yours is not simple, a few words will stir everyone up, you look at those young people, hot eyes, and the kind of 'spirit' that is unwilling to be left behind, hehe, I have to obey the old."
"Hehe, General Stephen, where are you, you are old and strong......"
