To Hood, the Liaoning seemed to have a smile on her face, but it was clear that it was just a courtesy, and she herself did not have a good impression of herself for the time being.

Under Mu Feng's introduction, after the Liaoning and Hood got acquainted, they first glanced at Li Sailiu and his party in the distance, and said to Mu Feng in his heart:

"Commander, now is a good time, I think we can negotiate with Hood, it is best to settle the relationship with the Royal Navy, and then solve the relationship with the French Navy Command."

Mu Feng thought for a while: "My personality is too straightforward, I really can't negotiate, and it's easy to make misunderstandings, so you look at it, if you need my cooperation, tell me in your heart." ”

"Okay." The Liaoning agreed, turned to Hood and said, "Commander Hood, I didn't expect to meet here, we just have something we want to discuss with you."

"I think you and the senior members of the Royal Navy Command should be agonizing about what status and remuneration should be given to our fleet for its contribution to the Command, right?"

Of course, the top brass of the headquarters was worried about this problem, although the Huairou faction and the strict faction had reached a certain degree of compromise, but in Hood's opinion, the result of that compromise would not satisfy Mu Feng and the others.

But this kind of issue is an internal discussion, which will not be directly disclosed to the public, and it is not appropriate, so when the Liaoning talked about it, Hood just shrugged his shoulders noncommittally and did not answer.

The Liaoning saw Hood's reaction, and continued according to its own train of thought:

"In my opinion, what my commander Mu Feng did with Changchun, Taiyuan, and Peace Ark from the afternoon to the evening before yesterday can be said to have saved the entire Royal Navy Command.

"If it weren't for the four of them, the current situation of the Royal Navy would not be much better than the France in front of us, and you and the elders should agree with Commander Hood, right?"

Hood looked back at the ruins around him, sighed, and nodded:

"We agree with that."

The Liaoning immediately continued: "With the strength of our commander's fleet, plus the credit for saving the entire headquarters, it's not too much to let the commander enter the Senate, right?" ”

Hu De shook his head in astonishment: "I'm afraid this won't work, this doesn't meet the regulations of the headquarters, even if I agree, when the other elders vote, it will definitely not pass." ”

Liaoning smiled when he heard this: "Since you can't give your due identity and status, it's good to convert it into resources, I think 3 million is a pretty appropriate number." ”

Hood almost exclaimed, "This can't be! The Command's resources and facilities have been severely damaged, reserves and revenues have been greatly reduced, and it is necessary to repair the facilities and prevent a new wave of deep-sea attacks, and now is the time when resources are most scarce, and we cannot afford to reward them with large amounts of resources. ”

When the Liaoning heard Hood's words, it was not surprised at all, and it always had a smile on its face.

Her two tender red lips opened and closed up and down, and she spat out a sentence that had been prepared for a long time:

"We can't give our status and status, and we can't get resource rewards, so the next time we encounter the same danger, do we want to take action? Do you want to save the command again?

"Another question at hand, how to settle the credit for the rescue of the French Command and the fleet belonging to Commander Hood this time, or will it continue to be delayed?

"Although it stands to reason that the destruction of the deep sea is everyone's responsibility, everyone has emotions.

"If we try to turn the tide again and again, but in the end we never get anything, how can you give us the motivation to continue fighting for the headquarters?"

The problems mentioned by the Liaoning are all problems that are on the surface, and Hood himself has already considered them, which is also a headache for her and the Senate.

In such a crisis-ridden world, it is only natural that those who can save the world again and again and protect everyone again and again should become leaders.

But the problem is that the current command system does not allow human commanders to become leaders, and even the Senate, a decision-making body, cannot enter.

To rationally dispose of Mu Feng's identity and status, we can only reform the headquarters and senate system.

But the reform will inevitably touch the interests of many people.

Even if most people unconditionally favor reform for the sake of the overall situation, there will certainly be people who only look out for their own interests, oppose reform, and even use conspiracy to prevent reform.

At a time when the deep sea could erupt at any time, it was really not appropriate to do such a dangerous thing.

So after listening to the words of the Liaoning, Hood just shook his head and sighed, unable to speak, because there was nothing to say.

And the Liaoning expected this situation, so it continued to say with a smile:

"In the current situation, there is only one way to keep our fleet fighting capable, and that is to give us a few ports and a number of resource facilities, so that our fleet can operate independently.

"In this way, if we encounter a deep-sea eruption in the future, when we fight, we are protecting our property, and we are no longer working for the headquarters, and we don't need any more rewards from the headquarters."

Hood just shook his head again: "I understand your feelings, but in my experience, it seems that such a divisive proposal as dividing the existing ports and resource facilities will not pass the deliberation of the Senate at all. ”

Rejected and denied again and again, the Liaoning was not discouraged at all:

"If the port and facilities can't be given, then give the resources, I think 3 million is an appropriate number, and after getting the resources, we will go out and build the port ourselves and establish a new headquarters.

"In the future, when the Royal Navy encounters danger, we, as a natural ally, will certainly not sit idly by, but hope that the Royal Navy will be able to give appropriate resource remuneration at that time."

Hu De was stunned: "Didn't I say it, now that resources are in short supply, there is no way to get 3 million." ”

Mu Feng noticed that Hood did not object to the idea of going out to establish a new headquarters, but instinctively emphasized that they could not come up with so many resources.

And the Liaoning gave a feasible method as a matter of course:

"If you can't take it out at once, then you can pay it in installments, 100,000 per month, and you can settle it in 30 months."

After listening to the last sentence of the Liaoning, Hood was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes, recalled the discussion process, and suddenly found that the woman in front of him was really very smart.

Not the kind of offending cleverness, but a kind of worldly wisdom.

The Liaoning first enumerated the normal options available to both sides through several rounds of simple dialogue.

Then he guided himself, a member of the Senate, to judge these choices from the perspective of the Senate and analyze whether the resolution could be passed.

In this simple and natural way, she made it clear to herself that none of the other options would work, and in the end, there was only one condition that was acceptable to both parties.

The headquarters converted the reward into resources and let Mu Feng and his fleet go out to open up the wasteland by themselves.
