Chapter 743: The Sacred Book of the Feathered People
Chu Tianming's words made Frank, who was already dwarfed, even more embarrassed, and at the first meeting of the new deputy chief of staff, he was angry and embarrassed, feeling that he had become a harlequin who was being played, and when all the fleet generals were smiling with a good attitude, Ethan, who had been silent. Daniels suddenly stood up from his seat.
"Generals, first of all, I must apologize to you, today's battle report was originally my job, but because I have no experience, I temporarily asked my old boss and my old boss to help preach." After Daniels finished speaking, he bowed deeply, and most of the generals in the room smiled when they heard this. Frank has always had a reputation for ignoring his subordinates and monopolizing his merits, so everyone knows that Daniels prevaricated for Frank, and this time the former director must be pressing the current winner of the keynote speaker to give himself more opportunities to show his face.
"What do you say about this operation...... It is obviously not fair for you to know only a part of all the information we have from Brigadier General Fan, and then use it to make suspicions. Daniels spoke in a calm tone, speaking slowly, as if he was always considering every next word before speaking, unlike his own explanation, which did not appear timid in front of the military bigwigs.
Fazzani looked at Daniels carefully, although he had crossed paths once or twice before, but he, like many of the fleet commanders in attendance, had only begun to pay attention to the new intelligence chief today. Unlike his predecessors, who were disdainful of his predecessors, Fazzani had no ill feelings towards the young man who had risen through the ranks, knowing that Daniels was a former intelligence analyst at the Security Council, and that he had been recognized by Evan for his excellent ability to use data. Frank was recruited and recruited, so although he did not officially enlist in the army, he worked as a civilian in the intelligence bureau of the Military Commission for six years.
On the premise that his boss was seriously injured in the tragedy on the day of the ceremony, he took due responsibility. Campbell was recognized for his prominence in investigative excellence, and after his immediate supervisor was promoted to the position of second chief of staff for meritorious service, he was quickly approved by a majority vote in the Joint Council, making him unsurprisingly the ninth and youngest director of the Military Commission's intelligence bureau since the founding of the Alliance.
"As General Frank said earlier, with regard to the feasibility of countermeasures against the hijacking of the Four Seasons, in accordance with the premise of 'completely rescuing the hostages' recently put forward by the Chairman's Cabinet, we have conducted a long and detailed analysis and discussion with the General Staff on the impact of each link, and for this purpose we have adopted all the detailed rules of the Tantalus 'hunting' plan one by one, and the plan was approved by His Excellency the Chief of the General Staff after more than a dozen successful implementation of the sand table simulation. Here, I can tell you unceremoniously that the statement of 'adding to the chaos' for the officers and men of the Silver Alliance is pure nonsense. "Ethan. Daniels said here without humility or arrogance, that is, he turned around and faced Fan Zeyang, the 'active' of this meeting.
"Brigadier General Fan, some of the content you revealed today is highly confidential, and it is the original information that only the senior management of our bureau and the members of the Security Committee of the Joint Parliament can know, and I will tell the relevant departments to determine whether there are any violations of the rules and everything you have announced at this closed-door meeting, and as for the 'rat' who provided you with this top-secret information, I can make a guarantee to you here......" Daniels stared at Fan Zeyang expressionlessly, and then his tone was as cold as ice.
"I will personally 'dig' him out and then do everything possible to ruin his life...... Do you understand this? He asked.
"Understood, Director, that sounds fair." Fan Zeyang nodded in response, he was equally silent, and he couldn't tell from his expression whether he really didn't care or pretended to be calm.
"But what Brigadier General Fan just said is not unreasonable, no matter how accurate the information is, it is possible to be blinded, and it is not their providers who will be punished in the end, but everyone here." Daniels began to shift the conversation after threatening the chief of staff of the Fifth Fleet.
"Therefore, I suggest that the 'hunting' plan be put on hold for the time being, and that a functional ship be dispatched to detect the coordinates of the target location in the intelligence first, and then decide whether to implement the follow-up action or not." As soon as his words came out, Evan, who had just stretched his face. Frank couldn't help frowning, but several fleet staff officers led by Fan Zeyang nodded and echoed each other.
"And what about Falkus? If Xiao Fan's speculation is correct, shouldn't we take precautions in advance? "As the commander of the Fifth Fleet, Huang He naturally wants to support his chief of staff in front of everyone, first, because he trusts this deputy who always causes him trouble, and secondly, he is particularly dissatisfied with the 'hunting' plan of the General Staff Headquarters and the Intelligence Bureau. Unlike Chu Tianming's typical survivalism, Huang He is closer to tradition in his bones. Although he was not a believer, he came from a standard Hajin family, and after hearing and seeing it, he naturally had more sympathy for these poor boat people who believed in Feather God but were exiled forever than any other high-ranking general in the military.
Quite critical information, however, has obvious traces of human intervention, vague and full of possibilities. On the premise of not figuring out everything, a vote of robbers will not be punished, but they will exterminate the generations of ancient precepts and return to the way, but this alone makes Huang He unable to accept it psychologically.
"Regarding what Brigadier General Fan said, our intelligence network has not received any clues." Daniels finished his sentence and turned his head to his boss to make eye contact with him. Frank's brow furrowed even tighter, but he eventually nodded at him with a long sigh.
"While there is no evidence of this, the General and I believe that the hijackers will eventually anchor the Four Seasons in Falkus, which means that they may pose a threat to the Silver Alliance forces there." Daniels, with Frank's approval, finally uttered the most valuable sentence of today's intelligence service.
"Personally, I think they will carry out a large-scale transformation of the Four Seasons cruise ship to make it a spaceship that can sail permanently in its own ecological cycle, and for this they must obtain a large number of relevant materials, hire a large number of people, and need to have a relatively stable public base and environment." Daniels analyzed.
"That's what you're talking about, and that's exactly what I'm worried about." Fan Zeyang said solemnly beside him. "The Feather Federation led by the major ancestral halls and the Boat Folk Homecoming Sect have been secretly communicating for a long time, and since the two sides have the same beliefs, I am afraid that there is no irreconcilable conflict on the issue of the belonging of Forkus."
"Fan Zeyang, wait a minute, did I hear it wrong just now......" Chu Tianming's eyes widened, and his chubby face showed an incredible look. Build the Four Seasons into a permanent ship? Where are they going? ”
His eyes raced as he looked at Daniels, and before he could explain to him, he realized it.
"Yah, God is above, they actually want to ......" Chu Tianming's face showed an extremely shocked look at this time, and under the guidance of his expression, some of the well-educated people among the elites attending the meeting also thought of a place, but most of them were still at a loss.
"What do they want to do? Chu Tianming, can you not sell Guan Zi when you speak? "Not as quiet and reserved as his predecessor, Savage. Ahmed has not become unfathomable because he has sat in the high position of chairman of the Military Commission, he has always been dissatisfied with this Chu Tianming, who is also called a great general, in his opinion, Chu Tianming, who has a heart, is actually a coward.
"They named themselves the Homecomingists, what kind of homecoming do you think that refers to?" Obviously, he is not too interested in Ahmed, and Chu Tianming is not afraid of the identity of the other party's interim chairman.
"How do I know where they are going? The cyber people were extinct early in the morning, did they want to go to the Hades Hall together? Savage said angrily.
"The homeland of the starship, where the humans come from, they will return." Chu Tianming had no choice but to say.
"Hometown fart! A bunch of stupid retro factions sit idle all day long and have nothing to do to disturb the audio-visual stuff. Savage was unmoved, shaking his head with disdain.
"It's a crazy idea, indeed." Even Fan Zeyang said so at this time. "Since it is an indisputable fact that the starship fled from the destroyed world to the Martial Emperor, the former birthplace of mankind has either long been abandoned or full of crises, but these boat people are dreaming of returning home for a hundred years, and I don't know why they have such stubborn determination and faith."
"It's 'Hope Home,'" Daniels said at this time.
"What's the way home?" Savage asked with a puzzled frown.
"Florence. Kasumba, a god-like Feather God prophet of Forkus two hundred years ago, is a book written by her. ”
"Books? What kind of book? Savage seems to know nothing about this.
"Describing the suffering of the early development of Folkus, the mental journey of the first generation of boat people living in a vacuum, there are many insightful philosophical reflections and stories and fables that reflect the suffering of the human world, this book has a prominent position among the people who believe in the feather god, so it has the reputation of "The Holy Book of the Feather People." Daniels patiently explained.
"Are you saying that a witch from two hundred years ago was the author of this burlesque? What was it about her in that hapless book that made these smokers collectively insane? Savage asked, smirking.
"Follow the peace of mind, ignore the ridicule of others, be pious, tolerant, and patient, and wait for the arrival of the feather god. At that time, God will bring a boat of hope, so that the return journey will no longer be a dream......" The dream-like voice came from Huang He, who recited the words he had known since childhood with a solemn face, and then attracted the attention of everyone in the room.
"It's crazy, it's crazy." Savage looked at the fleet commander, who was older than him, in disbelief, and after a while began to slowly shake his head.
The war room was silent at this time, and most of the participants were savoring the words quoted from the book two hundred years ago in Huang He's mouth, and the faces of people such as Fan Zeyang and Chu Tianming, whose brains were turning quickly, had begun to change color.
In the middle of a star, Dino was smiling and groaning. Fazzani suddenly broke the silence, he looked around, his ugly face seemed to be plated, and then he reached out and pinched the cup into the air.
"The long way home, pay tribute to the immortals of the past."
