Chapter Ninety-Eight: Negotiations Frustrated

"It's the other way around!" As soon as the holographic projection image disappeared, Anna, who was so angry that her face turned blue, shouted: "She actually colluded with Tang Liqing, and she didn't give an inch, she had to dissolve the committee and re-elect, it was clearly a rebellion!" ”

"It's reversed, Commissioner Anna!" Claire said coldly, "What now?" ”

"What to do? Wipe them out completely! Anna, who was furious, hissed and shouted: "Order your troops to attack the fortress, and be sure to capture Diana and Tang Liqing alive!" ”

"Attacking the fortress requires the final authorization of the committee."

"Then do it right away!"

The final mandate of Central City has arrived: stop the offensive and continue the quest for reconciliation!

"What do they mean?" Anna burst into a rage: "Do you want me to reconcile with the rebels and reconcile with scum like Tang Liqing, who has been sentenced to death by the alliance court?" ”

Claire was silent, she didn't want to clash with Anna at this moment. She knew that the other members of the committee had long been dissatisfied with Anna's domineering, and this was an excellent opportunity to suppress her, so she naturally wouldn't let it go.

Claire's noncommittal silence led to Anna's vent and gradually calmed down. She looked at Claire and said helplessly, "Connect Diana!" ”

"Everything that needs to be said has been said, what else is there to say?" In the holographic image, Diana laughs.

"Why bother, Diana!" Anna swallowed her breath and said, "Why don't we sit down and have a good talk and settle our differences?" ”

"I said it, don't talk about anything unless the committee is disbanded and re-elected!"

Diana still wouldn't budge, and Anna was speechless, somehow saying it. Seeing this situation, Claire interjected: "Diana, you know that your conditions are very excessive, why can't you take a step back and sit down and negotiate?" ”

"Huh! Commander Claire, you're here to negotiate? ”

"This is just in case, you should understand that going to war is not our purpose!" Claire replied with a smile: "If you want to disband the committee, first of all, the law of the alliance does not allow this." If you insist on this, it is obvious that you do not want to negotiate. Since you don't want to negotiate, why not just declare war? ”

Diana was silent. Declaring war directly is a blatant rebellion, which Diana knows very well in her heart, she wants to be famous, so naturally she doesn't want to be honest and lose money first.

"Take a step back, Diana," Claire took the opportunity to advise, "Why don't you calm down, sit down and negotiate, and see how you can solve it, you say?" ”

"Well, I'll think about it!" Diana replied, and the hologram disappeared at the same time.

"She's trying to stall for time!" Anna shouted, "Attack now!" ”

"Zhou Yongyun and Maddie have declared neutrality, she has no rescuers outside, how long will it take?" Claire is a military man and knows what to do. She immediately set up defenses to prevent Diana from sneaking up, and at the same time activated high-power interference to cut off the communication link between Fort One and the outside world.

"Wait in peace," she said to Anna calmly, "and she said that she should think about it, and it is reasonable, so let her think about it!" ”

Compared to Anna, Claire still feels better about Diana. It's just that now she and Anna are on the same front, and Diana is at fault first, so she can't be emotional. So, she calmly comforted Anna and asked her to calm down and wait patiently.

As night fell, the huge figure of Fortress No. 1 gradually disappeared into darkness. From the hill where Claire's command post was located, the positions of both sides were darkened in the dead silence that had prevailed before the battle.

"Sleep, Commander," said the guard.

"Wait a minute," Claire replied, "what about Commissioner Anna?" ”

"She's gone to rest a long time ago!"

As soon as I calmed down, a feeling of fatigue for no reason gradually came up. Claire lay down on the marching bed that the guards had prepared for her, feeling empty in her heart. In the dead of night, she unconsciously thought of Shu Yunpeng, and remembered the question that has always made her tossing and turning recently: "Do I really want a child?" ……”

She was thinking about it in a daze, and the dream demon crept in...... She had a lot of dreams and seemed to have nightmares...... The guards woke her up!

"What's wrong with me?" She opened her eyes and saw the guard's anxious gaze.

"You're crying, Commander," said the guard, "have you had a nightmare?" ”

She shook her head, she couldn't think of anything: "It's okay, probably too tired......"

She heard the voice from the communicator: "Who's it, take it!" ”

The guard turned on her communicator, and she heard Shu Yunpeng's voice: "You're okay, I've arrived!" ”

Shu Yunpeng walked in, and what he saw was a commander who was no different from his usual and energetic: "Why haven't you slept yet?" ”

"I've slept for a while," Claire said with a smile, "why are you here too?" ”

"It's such a big deal," Shu Yunpeng looked at her guard, who was exiting the door with great interest: "I'm not at ease, come and have a look." ”

As he spoke, he walked over to her and sat down, and without saying a word, he put his arms around her and began to kiss her. She didn't resist, but she accepted his kiss mechanically.

"How's it going?" After the kiss, he asked.

Claire briefly explained the situation, and he listened attentively. It's strange that when she saw him, Claire's heart was quiet all of a sudden, and all the worries and troubles in her heart were gone.

"You mean, Tang Liqing is in Fort No. 1, with Diana?"

"Yes," Claire said, "they're teamed up...... What's wrong? ”

"Great!" Shu Yunpeng said. His words surprised Claire, Diana and Tang Liqing teamed up, the situation should be very bad, how could he say that it was too good?

"Huh!" In response to Claire's question, Shu Yunpeng replied: "Do you think, Tang Liqing is now in the No. 1 fortress, and the No. 1 fortress is surrounded by water, and she can't get out!" Isn't it great that her 'green home' has no leader now? ”

Claire jumped up from Shu Yunpeng's arms all of a sudden: "You mean, take this opportunity to launch an attack on the anti-** forces?" ”

"That's right!" Shu Yunpeng said: "Besieging Fort No. 1 is actually to trap Tang Liqing and cut off her communication with her subordinates. If we can seize the opportunity, we can take this opportunity to crack down on the anti-armed forces. In this way, they can't take care of each other, don't we just turn against the customer! ”

"It's a good idea, but ......," Claire muttered, "almost all the troops of the Alliance can be mobilized here, and there are no more troops to maneuver!" ”

"This is up to the committee to think about how to convince Alice Chow and Maddie!"
