The committee negotiated with Zhou Yongyun and Maddie, and it was difficult to proceed, and it has been three full days, and it has not yet been settled. It was obvious that both fortress garrison commanders were prevaricating and procrastinating, unwilling to send troops.

Speaking of several fortresses, it must be said that the leaders of these fortresses are similar to the ancient Chinese Jiedu envoys, who ostensibly obey the emperor's orders, but in fact they are not. As soon as the military and political power is grasped, everything can be decided by oneself, without the consent of the emperor, in fact, it is a prince and a king.

In this way, the army and the people only know the princes but do not know the emperor. For Zhou Yongyun and Maddie, how can their own resources, whether it be money or the army, be used by others casually?

What's more, as the princes and kings who dominate one side, Zhou Yongyun and Maddie are actually no different from Diana in their hearts. It's just that since Diana is stirring up trouble, they can't see the outcome clearly for the time being, so they are happy to stand by and watch the changes, so that they can have a chance to get the benefits of the fisherman!

Therefore, it is reasonable that they shirk and delay the committee's request to send troops to encircle and suppress the anti-** forces.

When there was no reply, Anna was naturally very angry. She quarreled with the other commissioners in Central City, accusing them of being incompetent. At this time, the committee members were also angry. They blame Anna and blame someone else for causing trouble...... Your back and forth made Claire at a loss, and Shu Yunpeng was very annoyed.

"These stupid pigs!" Shu Yunpeng scolded: "I think you are simply the opposite, you are unique!" ”

"So it's an all-out war, that's what you want?" Claire smiled bitterly: "You can go back to your lover's fortress, where do I go to stay?" ”

"The army is in your hands, you can completely control the central city," Shu Yunpeng couldn't bear it anymore, and really had the idea of rebelling: "The so-called one blow, then decline, and three exhaustion." Look at the current situation, the army has been mobilized, neither fighting nor peace, the days are long, the army is tired, and when the time comes, Diana, who is waiting for work, attacks you, what will you do? ”

Claire was silent. She knew that Shu Yunpeng was telling the truth, and that situation was likely to happen. However, if she wants to be unique, she really hasn't thought about it. She is a soldier and has never liked to get involved in politics, so she has no ambition to be the master of her own country.

"I'll figure it out!" After being silent for a long time, she said to Shu Yunpeng.

She has no ambition, but she has courage that others don't have. She saw clearly that Anna was right, Diana was indeed stalling for time. She secretly made up her mind to take the first fortress.

"Report, the space fleet has arrived!"

All the space cruisers that can be mobilized in the space fleet have been assembled near Fort No. 1 and are on standby, a total of seven. However, Zhang Jingyi was still in the south and did not come.

"The space fleet has arrived, it's time to attack!" Anna urged.

"Nope! The entire space fleet was withdrawn to a hundred kilometers away, and the ground forces also broke the siege and retreated! ”

"What do you mean? Commander Claire? Anna was furious: "You want to disobey the order? ”

"I'm sorry, Commissioner Anna," Claire replied coldly, "The order the committee gave me was to stop the attack, and I was carrying out the order!" ”

Anna trembled with anger, but there was nothing she could do, because the last order of the committee was indeed to stop the offensive and continue to seek a peaceful solution.

"Then why did you withdraw the siege? Do you want to let Tang Liqing go? ”

"Commissioner Anna, this time, my task is to command the army, and you are responsible for communicating and negotiating with Diana," Claire held back her anger and said, "Please do your job first, don't interfere with my work!" If you have to interfere with me, I will report it to the committee and let it decide! ”

After she finished speaking, she ignored Anna and left herself to deploy troops. Shu Yunpeng's plan to encircle the fort and suppress the bandits was originally very good, so that Diana and Tang Liqing could not care about each other. But she was overstretched and unable to implement this plan, so she had to find another way.

"Diana, as a sign of sincerity, our army has withdrawn," After doing all this, Claire connected to Diana's contact function: "Human existence is in crisis, and it can no longer withstand large-scale wars. So, please consult with the committee representative, Commissioner Anna, to resolve your differences! ”

As she spoke, she turned back to Anna and said, "Please, Commissioner Anna! Then he left Anna there and left herself.

"Bad enough, you!" Shu Yunpeng, who had been watching coldly, waited until he was far away before he said to Claire: "You know that the two of them dislike each other and can't talk about anything, so you let that old woman worry about it!" ”

"You can't blame me for this, it's her responsibility to negotiate!" Claire smiled slightly.

"What are you going to do next?"

"Wait and see!" Claire was proud: "I'm going to surprise you...... I'm tired, hug me! ”

She suddenly began to be coquettish and took the initiative to get into his arms. But Shu Yunpeng saw that she was doing this on purpose, what she wanted to do, even he didn't want to tell him.

Since she didn't want to say it, Shu Yunpeng didn't want to ask. He is becoming more and more disappointed with the current situation, and as soon as people are disappointed, they don't bother to take care of everything. He hugged Claire, and the two of them lay on the hillside behind the command post, as if there was no one next to me.

But the good times were short-lived, and one of the guards ran towards them.

"What's the matter?" The guards ran closer, and Claire was already on her feet.

"Commissioner Anna, please go for a moment!"

As soon as Claire and Shu Yunpeng entered the command post, they saw Anna sitting there with a blank face. As soon as she saw Claire, she yelled, "She let me into town!" ”

"What do you mean?" Claire frowned and asked, "Diana let you into the number one fortress?" ”

"Yes! She said let me ...... Let's go into the fortress to negotiate! ”

"Have you informed the Committee?" Claire asked. She was also taken aback, she couldn't figure out why Diana would let Anna enter the fortress to negotiate.

"Not yet," said Anna, "I would like to consult with you first." ”

Claire pondered for a moment and said, "It's better to report to the committee first, the results you discussed with me are useless." ”

The Committee's reply came: Commissioner Anna was left to her own discretion.

Anna's face became more and more ugly. She sensed that the members of the committee were about to abandon her. They let her decide for herself, just to see her jokes. Let's go, what if Diana turns her face and detains her? If she doesn't go, she will be a coward in the eyes of the world from now on, and her prestige will be dripping day by day, and she will never be in the committee again.

"Come with me!" She hesitated for a long time and said to Claire.

Claire shook her head: "I can't go!" I have already said that commanders cannot be separated from their own army. ”

Anna understands that Claire's reasons are strong, and her understanding of her responsibilities is accurate. If Diana really had a bad idea, Claire was not there, and the army was leaderless, everything would be over.

It's just that Anna has never experienced this kind of dilemma, and she is in danger of being a powerful person. Therefore, she always held on to the luck mentality, and repeatedly asked Claire to participate in the negotiations, hoping that Claire would be confused for a while and accompany her to give her courage.

However, Claire's mind is always clear.

"Okay, I'll go!" After hesitating for a long time, Anna finally made up her mind. Years of hard work can't be given up so easily. Since then, if you lose your power and be ridiculed, and you will withdraw from the rivers and lakes in disgrace, it is better to fight.
