Chapter 352: A dilemma
Li Xingqi's face did not show a surprised expression, and looked at Liu Yi calmly for a while, as if he already knew Liu Yi's purpose.
In fact, it is not surprising that since Liu Yi's series of economic plans were shelved, Liu Yi has long become an idler, and it is not difficult for Li Xingqi to guess that there is such an idea.
"You're gone, who's going to run the economy?" After a long pause, Li Xingqi asked slowly.
"My job is to develop the economy, and now the goal of the Colony and Security Federation is to go out to fight, and no one will manage it and it will not affect the overall situation. However, if you have to find someone to sit in this seat, I think I will let Tang Lun do it. Liu Yi replied.
Li Xingqi leaned back in his chair, looked at the roof, and said unhurriedly: "Although war is a big goal now, you can't ignore the economy, since you think Tang Lun is the right person, let him do it." However, your departure is a huge loss to the Colony Alliance, and I am worried that it will affect the stability of the overall situation, do you have any good solutions? ”
Speaking of this, Li Xingqi's gaze was already fixed on Liu Yi's eyes, and he suddenly became extremely sharp.
Liu Yi understood what Li Xingqi meant in an instant, it was nothing more than that he was worried that after Liu Yi left, he would go against him Li Xingqi, and he asked Liu Yi to give him a way to rest assured.
"Please rest assured, Yaqiu's goal is to develop the economy, and it will not and cannot have any adverse impact on the Colonial Alliance, if you are not at ease, you can sign a peace agreement, and I guarantee that Yaqiu will never cause trouble to the Colonial Alliance." Liu Yi said very solemnly.
However, Li Xingqi's face did not show Liu Yi's expectant smile, but became more gloomy, and it could be seen that Li Xingqi was not satisfied with Liu Yi's promise.
Liu Yi's heart sank, and a bad premonition suddenly came up, you must know that Li Xingqi would never show such a terrible expression in front of him in the past.
"I believe your words, but now is the time when everyone needs to work together, and if you leave, it will be a very huge loss for me and for the Colony Alliance." Li Xingqi said in a roundabout way.
Liu Yi was a little annoyed in his heart, but he still had to maintain restraint and calm on the surface, and before he negotiated the matter, Liu Yi couldn't turn his face with Li Xingqi.
"So what should I do to make everyone happy?" Liu Yi said in a slightly sarcastic tone.
Li Xingqi said unmoved: "I want something, and with this, I think it will be very helpful to the Colonization and Anlian." ”
"What's that?" Liu Yi asked in a deep voice.
"Your fleet." Li Xingqi said coldly: "What the Colonization and Anlian needs most now is the fleet, I want to borrow your fleet for a while, and when I take the rebels, I will naturally return it to you." ”
"What!" Liu Yi shouted in a lost voice: "You want my fleet? ”
Li Xingqi nodded, staring at Liu Yi with oppressive eyes, and his attitude was extremely firm.
Liu Yi forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, his chest rose and fell violently for a long time, and finally did not let the scolding words rush out. Li Xingqi's request was too much for Liu Yi, this was a fundamentally unacceptable request, and it was similar to Ming Robbing.
Li Xingqi made such a request, the purpose is actually twofold, one is to increase the combat power of a fleet for himself, and the other is to relieve himself of worries, Yaqiu can no longer threaten the Seawolf Galaxy without a fleet.
Now Liu Yi is already out of anger, but the anger is so angry that it makes his face expressionless, as if nothing has happened.
"Hey...... I see. Liu Yi, who was smiling angrily, said slowly.
Li Xingqi said very calmly as if he hadn't noticed anything: "Yes, that's it, I just need this one thing." ”
"What if I don't agree?" Liu Yi asked with a smile on his face.
Li Xingqi shrugged and replied, "That's very simple, you just continue to work with me, and this position will always be reserved for you." ”
"That is, I will either hand over the fleet, or stay here and not be able to go anywhere? Is that so? Liu Yi asked.
"Don't worry, things can be discussed slowly, what I want to say is that since Yaqiu has joined the Colony Alliance, it is also a matter of duty to contribute to the Colonization Alliance. You see that other colonies have handed over their fleets to the Colonization and Security Federation for unified dispatch, and I just borrowed it, shouldn't it be too much? Li Xingqi said calmly.
Liu Yi sneered in his heart, and said secretly: "That's a good thing, as long as the fleet is lent out, will there be a day when it will be returned?" Besides, the other galaxies are all in charge of your direct cronies, and the fleet will naturally be transferred by you. ”
Li Xingqi saw that Liu Yi had been silent and did not speak, and knew that Liu Yi must have refused to agree in his heart, but only Liu Yi did not explicitly refuse, which means that the matter has not yet reached the point of irreversibility.
"That's it, you think about it first, I can wait for your decision slowly, there is time, don't rush to answer." Li Xingqi said.
Liu Yi's mind is now unable to think, and his mind is full of anger, but there is one thing Liu Yi still knows, that is, such a major decision cannot be made easily, and it is the right way to deal with it by going back and thinking about it.
"Okay, I'll take my leave today." Liu Yi stood up as he spoke.
Li Xingqi also stood up and said, "Very good, you go back and think about it slowly, this matter is not in a hurry." ”
Leaving Li Xingqi's office, Liu Yi returned to his office in one breath, and after sitting down, he felt a hot pain in his hands.
Liu Yi looked down and saw that he had been clenching his fists vigorously, and his ten fingers had become purple and swollen. At this time, the anger in Liu Yi's heart could no longer be suppressed, and he grabbed something and slammed it against the wall, just listening to "Bang!" There was a loud bang, leaving a large crater in the wall.
The secretary who heard the noise hurriedly ran into the office, only to see Liu Yi's face was pale, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and he looked extremely scary.
"Big ...... My lord...... What's going on? The secretary was so frightened that he couldn't even speak.
"Get out! It's none of your business! Willow Wing roared, the sound like an attacking beast.
The secretary didn't dare to say more, nodded hurriedly, and then quickly exited the office. As soon as the secretary left, Liu Yi's anger completely exploded, and he smashed all kinds of furnishings in the office.
A few days later, Liu Yi finally calmed down and rethought the whole thing, and now Li Xingqi obviously used his freedom as a bargaining chip, forcing him to exchange the fleet.
If Liu Yi didn't hand over the fleet, Li Xingqi would definitely not let him leave easily. Liu Yi also thought about whether he could sneak away, but he quickly dispelled this idea, even if he could sneak back to Yaqiu, but Yaqiu couldn't slip away, once Li Xingqi sent an army to attack Yaqiu, Yaqiu would still fall into Li Xingqi's hands in the end.
If you want to keep yourself and Yaqiu, you can only hand over the fleet to Li Xingqi, but if you don't have a fleet, it will be difficult for Yaqiu to ensure safety, and Liu Yi is facing a very difficult situation.
After thinking hard for several days, Liu Yi didn't find a way to get the best of both worlds, and finally he decided to discuss it with others, he couldn't be completely in charge of such a big matter alone.
So Liu Yi convened a meeting through video call, Tang Jie, Shangguan Qi, Ke Rin and others all attended the meeting, fortunately, Li Xingqi just sent someone to follow Liu Yi at any time, and did not cut off his communication, otherwise even this meeting would not be convened.
After the meeting began, Liu Yi first told everyone about the current situation, and everyone became angry when they heard it, no one expected that the current Li Xingqi would become like this.
Ke Rin shouted angrily: "What kind of thing is he, Li Xingqi!" Wait, I'll take a team to the Sea Eagle Galaxy to rescue Willow Wing! ”
Liu Yi had completely calmed down now, and hurriedly persuaded: "Don't, you must not do such a stupid thing, even if you rescue me, it will not help the whole thing." ”
"Why?" Kirin asked, puzzled.
"I'll explain this to you later, so let's discuss what we should do first, right?" Liu Yi said.
Everyone's faces looked helpless, but Feng Kailong's expression was not so sad, and he felt like he had seen through the world.
Liu Yi saw that Feng Kailong's expression was different from the others, so he asked him, "General Feng, how do you think this matter should be handled?" ”
Feng Kailong said very calmly: "My opinion is actually very simple, it is okay to hand over the fleet to Li Xingqi, if Li Xingqi wants to attack Yaqiu, I will definitely lead the fleet to fight him to the death." ”
After hearing this, Liu Yi nodded and said, "I understand what General Feng meant, thank you." ”
Ye Na said with a pale face: "I think it can be like this, on the one hand, send people to rescue Liu Yi, on the other hand, the fleet is ready, once Liu Yi is rescued, we will leave Yaqiu with the fleet, and the big deal is to go abroad, with the strength of our fleet, where can the overseas colonies not be attacked?" I don't believe that Li Xingqi can follow us all the way to the border! ”
"That's right! It's a good idea! Kirin was the first to agree.
Shangguan Qi also nodded silently, it seemed that he also agreed with this opinion, Feng Kailong didn't say anything, only Tang Jie didn't speak from beginning to end, and seemed to have been thinking about the problem.
"This method may work in the short term, but it is absolutely impossible to colonize outside the country for a long time." Liu Yi shook his head.
"Why can't it be?" Ye Na asked.
"We may be fine, but the soldiers under our command are all born and raised in the Empire, and who can guarantee that they will not miss their homeland in the future? Moreover, the people of the foreign colonies could not tolerate us. ”
After listening to Liu Yi's explanation, everyone had lost their minds, and it seemed that all the roads had been blocked.
At this time, Tang Jie suddenly spoke, and saw her say very decisively: "Give him the fleet!" ”
"What?" Everyone let out a burst of exclamations at the same time, and they couldn't believe that Tang Jie would say such a thing.
