Chapter Twenty-Nine: Black Wing IX
"I know that this is our internal affair, but don't forget that until the presidential palace of the Yanhuang government issues an order, not even a space fighter is allowed to descend to the ground, do you understand?" These remarks will undoubtedly sober up these hot-headed guys, even if it is a military dictatorship, the army must obey the orders of the supreme central government. www.biquge.info No matter how arrogant the Federal Navy may be, it must follow the basis of the Federal Navy's armed forces, which is the Federal Constitution.
"The duty of our special forces fleet is above the atmosphere, do you understand now?" Although in essence, Lu Lu, who protects his subordinates, is also strangely angry about the attack on his subordinates. However, perhaps because he has really grown up slowly in the passage of time, Lu Lu now at least retains a trace of sanity compared to the officers around him who have red eyes. But because of this reason, it is even more pathetic.
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, there are currently three planets in the Odo system that are inhabited, and sixteen asteroid swarms that can be used for hiding. However, you battleship captains, don't forget what can go wrong with any battleship-class ship approaching a planet, and the possible consequences. I don't want the Secret Service Fleet to be notified by the bureaucrats of the Commercial Security Committee to lower the security level when they are in charge of the Delta Star Sector. "Lu Lu, who was banging on the conference table, tried his best to warn these guys who wanted to start the slaughter for their comrades, you are not butchers, you are professional soldiers.
“…… Damn, you're behaving like a downright, hopelessly stupid and stupid bureaucrat. ”
Finally, the general affairs chief of the Federation who couldn't bear it stood up violently, although the appearance of Lei Qingrang was indeed on par with Feng Yiwu in terms of temperament and other things, but Lei Qingrang's essence like a blazing flame could not be easily changed, so it was revealed in his original form under the rage.
"We can confirm that the group is hiding in Odo...... That's the murderer of 1,326 of our colleagues, do you want to shield them? Seeing his boss retreat like this, his subordinates who couldn't restrain him finally began to question his boss in defiance of military discipline.
"That's not the problem at all." didn't care about the behavior of these captains who transgressed the rules, because Lu Lu himself was very helpless, but Lu Lu, who had no choice, could only explain very seriously.
"Article 17 of the Federal Constitution states that the Federal Navy shall not have the right to interfere in any matter below the atmosphere, including criminal investigations." After a pause, "You guys who have many times better grades than me in military school should still remember this law!" Unable to resist the resentful gaze of his subordinates, Lu Lu had no choice but to come up with his killer weapon.
"Admiral, have you forgotten that the Odo system we are now sealing off is not a member of the Yanhuang Federation, and we don't need to act in accordance with the laws of the Federation." Feng Yiwu, who was sitting on Lu Lu's right hand, carefully reminded Lu Lu who usually had no common sense. The Odo system in the triangular star area is not the territory of the Yanhuang Federation, so the Odo system is not under the protection of the federal constitution, and the special service fleet with the right of external action does have the right and ability to operate in the Odo system.
But it is one thing to have rights, but it is another thing to operate and execute them, and this is the dilemma that the special service fleet is facing now. In the triangular star field where politics and military are mixed, there is no way to run rampant with absolute force alone.
"Yes, not now." Nodding, Lu Lu, who looked depressed, took out his cigarette again and lit it leisurely. In the rising smoke, the gloomy expression on Lu Lu's face could be faintly seen.
"It has been confirmed at the Grand Admiral's meeting of the Capital Star that the diplomatic department of our Yanhuang Federation is negotiating with the autonomous government of the Odo Galaxy, and the news has been sent back that it has entered the final stage. I don't want this negotiation to fail because of our recklessness, and to waste years of federal effort. In the smoke, Lu Lu spoke out the resolution of the meeting.
"Uh-huh~ It seems that even this damn motive for committing the crime is there." Still snorting angrily, Lei Qingrang made a disdainful sound with his nostrils, even if he still wanted to strangle his boss, that is, the chief of general affairs who had the right to use the canteen of His Excellency Admiral Lu Lu, he was still very unhappy. "I guess it was the guys in the Otto system who opposed joining the Federation to do it, in order to break down the negotiations." The captains at the meeting reached a unanimous opinion, and it also strengthened the determination of these guys who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic to avenge their comrades.
"So, in order to keep those disgusting guys from achieving their goals, we need to be patient for now. Since I trust my captains, you and your men should have no problem, right? Lu Lulu, who asked these captains like this, smiled, but everyone could hear that the admiral was extremely unhappy at this time. If there is a consensus, please inform the other detachments under your jurisdiction that they must exercise restraint in their activities in the triangular sector. Seeing that the subordinates who had basically reached a consensus, Lu Lu added.
"Yes, Admiral." Although he was unwilling, Lei Qingrang still raised his hand in response, because the current development of the situation has nothing to do with his own will, and in the face of the interests of the Federation, as a soldier of the Federation, there is only one choice. It was a pitiful and pathetic situation, but it was a fact that the unruly and fearless Union Navy had to endure.
"After the meeting, you will each go and calm the emotions of the soldiers of your respective fleet." As everyone saluted and stood up and left, Lu Lu, who had been hanging his heart high, also breathed a sigh of relief.
Similarly, Feng Yiwu, who saw that his colleagues had also calmed down, and was also secretly worried, also let out a long breath. Sometimes, she is really afraid that those casual guys under her command will do something earth-shattering.
"I'll be in charge of the DED liaison. Over at SCC, Major...... Ah, Lieutenant Colonel Feng Yiwu, can I ask you to deal with it? You know, the bureaucrats on the committee are just disgusting. Lu Lu, who thought that he would have to deal with those bureaucrats again, could only sigh secretly.
In the current special service fleet, his subordinates are good at everything, but they have learned his bold temper by ten percent, and they have intensified it. As long as there is an opportunity, there is always a big deal, and it will never develop into small things. Although from Lu Lu's personal point of view, he quite liked the character of his subordinates.
It's just that as a commander, Lu Lu can indulge his subordinates does not mean that he himself can be so nonsense, for Lu Lu, who has the status of a commander, there are too many things for him to consider and shoulder, and he cannot tolerate a trace of negligence and willfulness. Maybe this is the so-called sadness of growth, those sorrows that have been verified by time linger in Lu Lu's heart all the time, and the current Lu Lu and the Lu Lu that he just crossed have changed too much.
If it had been three years ago, what that Lulu had to do was to dump all the ammunition in the Boreas on an uninhabited planet in the Odo system, and threaten the Odo system government with this, forcing the system government to hand over the murderers they harbored, otherwise, the next time it would be a devastating blow to the manned planet.
The so-called DED is the Joint Security Agency, a public body nominally responsible for the security of the entire universe, at least on the surface, the five empire-level powers that are the de facto rulers of this universe are recognized by its authority, and it is a joint organization with a considerable number and quality, as well as a legitimate armed police agency that can hold battleship-level fleets in non-imperial areas.
Although the integrated ministry existed at the same time, it itself was quite extensive. However, the Joint Security Service is indeed the international police in the true sense of the word, and in many cases, those criminals who are really vicious and have caused widespread fear in society will be arrested by the Joint Security Agency police even if they hide in the depths of space, and of course such arrests can only be limited to the unfortunate people who have no state backing.
Therefore, it can only be used as a dogleg of an empire-level force, and the majesty and bravery, fairness and justice that the public media say are just the appearance of ordinary civilians who only watch TV news, and for Lu Lu, who has mixed with the identity of the Admiral of the Central Fleet of the Yanhuang Federation, the agency of the Joint Security Agency is more like a joke.
Moreover, at this level of fleet command, even if they are alone in the face of the Unification Department itself, they will feel that this organization is a very fragile existence.
But why did Lu Lu take the initiative to seek DE's assistance this time, although Lu Lu's rhetoric was based on the results of DED's serious and down-to-earth work over the years, well, but the fact is that because Lu Lu has always respected the profession of "police" since he was a child, or because of the shadow of this professional uniform during his otaku period.
Therefore, Lu Lu, who can decide all the power of life and death in the Triangular Star Field, has maintained a relatively friendly attitude towards the Joint Security Agency until now, and God knows if it is because of Lu Lu's own guilt for handing over a few pennies to the police uncle. Of course, the real reason for investigating it is only that Lu Lu maintains a certain friendly relationship with the Joint Security Agency, which has agencies all over the universe, out of the need for information sharing.
On the contrary, the SCC is completely different in the eyes of Lu Lu. For the more pragmatic Lu Lu, the committee was nothing more than a bunch of bureaucrats with high salaries who had no idea what they were doing. For the vast number of civilians who are fighting for their lives in the universe, this high-ranking committee is not as present as their subordinate functional department, the Business Appraisal Bureau (CAD).
"Ahh......h It's that Obts. Skama. There was a smile in the voice of the falcon who had finished checking the information, but in Lu Lu's opinion, his adjutant liked to see his unlucky existence.
"It's Obuts. Skama? The one who claims to be the best at diplomacy...... It seems that the worst I can get is that the guys with their brains in water will definitely not agree to us going sub-atmospheric. Lu Lu, who felt that he was a cup, frowned tightly, on the one hand, he was very satisfied with the too detailed information in his head, but in this satisfaction, he felt very unlucky.
"It's okay, I was also an ace bounty hunter in DED back then, so that Skama should give me some face." Hayabusa, who saw his boss's displeasure, shrugged his shoulders and smiled mockingly. "That's a perfect killing journey for fifteen years, I said, does Your Excellency Admiral, who needs to strengthen your physique, want to feel the life of running after your target all over the world and starving yourself to death if you don't pay attention?" The falcon who asked Lu Lu casually smiled evilly, like a heartless little girl.
"Aha? I'm a foodie through and through. But then again, I was forcibly dragged to the battlefield within a month of registering for DED. Lu Lu, who shook his head, made a voice that was half complaining, half rejoicing.
"So, at least for the rest of your life, let the Federation be at peace." Speaking of this goal that he was fighting for in his heart, Lu Lu was a lot easier, although this was an almost impossible goal, because the Yanhuang Federation, which was in the expansion stage, had not completely completed the original accumulation of national capital, and it was impossible to stop the pace of expansion and plundering and the act of war.
Hayabusa's young face sneered at the knot that slowly opened her heart, because since she was born, she had a future that had been decided a long time ago, and as a standard template for a federal soldier, strong and beautiful, brave and determined, for her, the peace of the Federation was just a delusion that was out of reach.
However, even if you can't reach the end, you have to die honorably on the road, whether it is Lu Lu or Falcon, or Feng Yiwu, there is no wavering in the slightest. This is also the unshakable determination of countless ordinary soldiers and officers who have become the cornerstone of the strength of the Yanhuang Federation.
……
"So, that's it...... We need the Department of Integration to provide relevant space geography data for the triangular star region. With this in mind, whether your inquisitors come or not, there are only minor differences for my fleet, and for the Federation as a whole. Lu Lu shrugged at the person on the other end of the communication screen, revealing an elegant ruffian aura.
"Of course, in order to curb piracy in the Triangular Star Zone, the Unification Department and the Federal Navy have cooperated in all aspects, but this does not mean that the Federal Navy can do whatever it wants in the Triangular Star Zone." The negotiators on the opposite side did not surprise Lu Lu, it was the head of this area, Obts. Miss Skama.
A shrewd and capable member of the Joint Security Service under the Ministry of Integration. Of course, his talent in diplomacy is beyond ordinary people, and he is also a figure that has caused considerable headaches for the major empires, and now, it is Lulu's turn to have a headache.
"Your Excellency, do you know how much public opinion pressure your actions will bring to the Federation? The condemnation of the whole universe is not such an easy thing to do. ”
"Public opinion? If public opinion is useful, why don't you bother with the massacre that took place in the Atishabo space? Oh yes, you're not from the same clan as those Emma slaves, maybe you're an employee of the Ministry of Unity and Cooperation, and those who were killed have nothing to do with you. Lulu methodically refuted Obuts's claims. Although it was not a strong tone, based on some kind of almost forgotten fact, Lu Lu looked at the other party speechless without surprise.
"You don't know those Odo, so why don't you just do it, and make everyone feel better. In this way, everyone can come out and drink some tea when they have time. ”
"I am the person in charge of the Integration Department in the Triangular Star Zone, and it is my responsibility to protect the safety of the residents of the Triangular Star Zone."
"Of course, this is your responsibility, but don't forget that those who sacrificed, those people I had to protect, that is my responsibility. Although I can't protect their lives, at least, I have a responsibility to find out who killed them. What is my role...... So, Ms. Skama, I want you to make it easy for me. ”
"Either way, I'd like to get the Grand Admiral's personal commitment." Strong women, although they fell into disadvantage in the negotiations, still did not forget their original intentions. "At the very least, protect the lives of civilians as much as possible within your authority."
However, this request, which can be described as begging, can only be answered indifferently by Lulu.
"Of course, as long as you are a citizen of the Federation, you are the object of my protection."
In fact, most of the Odo's people are not excluded from joining the Federation and becoming a member of the Federation. After all, being a citizen of the Commonwealth requires very few obligations, but being able to obtain protection from the federal government and the federal navy is a good deal in large terms.
However, such a deal is only for ordinary civilians, for the politicians of the Odo government, who use the Federation's population needs to make up for the war losses, and use Oto's 1.6 billion people as a condition to exchange for more benefits. Perhaps politically, or economically, if nothing happens, the federal government is even prepared to agree to the implementation of inhabitant self-government when Otto moves into the federal mainland.
For Union soldiers, being too liberal meant risk, and while they were not afraid of death, they would not allow such a risk to exist. Lu Lu is one of the soldiers who thinks like this, and at the same time, he is also a soldier who is qualified to intervene. He was in charge of the security affairs of the Triangular Star Sector, and he happened to bring Otto's affairs under his command.
……
Nationals of the Confederacy? To put it nicely, in fact, it is a silent threat, if the treaty is not signed, then everything that happens to Odo, the Federal Navy will only watch from the sidelines. No, these demons, who have never had the slightest gentlemanly demeanor to the outside world, may instead attack in secret, and when they lose the patience of temptation, the Federation Navy will show their sharp fangs and force Odo, who has no power to fight back, to obey.
"If the Joint Security Service agrees to exchange all kinds of intelligence on the Triangular Star Zone with the Federal Navy, I will guarantee in my personal name that I will not use force to attack civilians." Raising his chin slightly, in his bloodshot pupils, it was rare to reveal such a sharp Lu Lu, quietly arousing a cold smile. "On the contrary, I don't guarantee that the grief-stricken subordinates who lost their colleagues will behave beyond the norm."
"You're a threat." Obts. Skama's face was pale, and she, who claimed to be a diplomatic genius, felt for the first time the helplessness of the strength gap that had nothing to do with diplomatic talent.
"That's right, that's the threat. Originally, with the right granted to me by federal law, I could declare Otto a war zone at any time. Perhaps Miss Scama would have preferred to be a war mediator? ”
"Do you want to blackmail with war? Don't forget, Lord Admiral, that the Triangle is on the border of the three empires, do you want to start a full-scale war? The federal central government will never allow this to happen. ”
Although it is true that there is such a risk, Lu Lu looked at each other with the eyes of an onlooker. The three major empires bordering the three-cornered star region, most of the military power of the Galactic Empire is caught in the Coles Star Domain Raid War, the Emma Empire has just completed the transfer of power, the new emperor is planning a high-level purge, and the Federation is busy clearing out the local forces in the Gillesis Star Field.
So, several empires, all of them are busy right now, and they are basically empty. None of them, including the Federation, were ready for a full-scale war.
"Really? In that case, you can make a complaint to the federal government. Unless you can get an order signed by President Jiangxia, the Federal Navy's operations in the Triangular Star Region will not change. Our will will never be changed by any external force. "Yes, the Presidential Decree is the highest and highest priority order within the federal naval system. However, Lu Lu did not think that the government, which had already acquiesced to the facts, would allow this lady to get orders easily.
"I will make representations to the federal government on this issue, but until then, I hope that your Excellency will keep your promise to ensure that civilians are not deprived of their fundamental rights by the threat of force by the federal navy during non-war periods." In the end, after thinking about it thoroughly, Skama, the foreign affairs official in charge of the Otto incident of the Ministry of Unification, chose to back down in humiliation.
"Of course, although the Federal Navy is young and impulsive, we as soldiers are not butchers." Lu Lu, who had a low voice, was not as happy as a victor, on the contrary, Lu Lu was quite well prepared for what would happen after this.
Lulu does not like to show off his military strength, however, if the other side does not clearly understand the gap between the two sides, the short-sighted Otto government is very likely to choose war. However, war can only bring destruction and killing, and then there is a lot of hatred and sorrow.
