Chapter 505: War Debate
"Okay, okay, this classmate, I'm not here today to discuss the war and the future development of the Silver Alliance, as a soldier of the Silver Alliance, courage, duty, loyalty and obedience are the most important things, if the soldiers are selective about the legitimately elected government of the citizens, it will inevitably lead to immeasurable tragic consequences, you also admit this?" Liu Lianjia's words made Luna have to nod yes, and she lowered her head again, staring at the desk, not knowing what she was thinking.
"The purpose of building a strong army is not to expand externally, students, you must understand this." Captain Liu looked sincere. Jonny, on the other hand, felt that he had clearly entered a certain mode.
"It has only been 40 years since the establishment of the Silver Alliance, and in the contact and exchange of as many as a dozen intelligent civilizations, it is precisely because of the existence of a military force that cannot be underestimated that we can easily occupy the initiative among the races of various characteristics." Captain Liu waved his hands, this argument was indeed irrefutable, Jonny commented in his heart.
"It is precisely because of the importance attached to the construction of the army that mankind has been able to recover rapidly from a weak foreign race after decades of cyber warfare, and establish the vast intelligent race cooperative that it is today. Soldiers are spears, but they are also shields, and imagine what the future of humanity would be like without this shield. ”
"A hundred years ago, Scold mutated, and the rebels of the Blue Mountains invaded the federal colonies for no reason and killed our colonies; Seventy years ago, the Gtorengo of Sipptong attacked the Heisenberg Mining Company, killing thousands of humans; 31 years ago, Ward's Aliens tore up the Covenant due to the psychedelic embargo and declared war on the Silver Alliance; Earlier, the Gaode people of Penthos had formulated the 'Martial Emperor System Clearance Plan' to completely wipe out humanity......"
"Without the shield of the military, these incidents may rapidly expand and become uncontrollable, and perhaps go further and directly challenge the right of humanity to exist." Captain Liu glanced at the students of Li Bai's class under the podium, and said with burning words.
"The galaxy is big, and the universe is even bigger, just these neighbors of the surrounding galaxies are already going to bother us, because of the different racial characteristics, ethics and views of things, it is almost impossible for humans to get in tune with it from the beginning, and strong force is often the only best way to keep each other sane." He began to talk eloquently to the students in Li Bai's class.
At this time, Jonny found that this Captain Liu's speech was clear, reasonable, and very convincing, and even he, who was full of disgust with the Bald War, had to admit at this time that although the captain's words were still suspicious of orientation, they were still in line with the facts on the whole.
Aren't these the consequences of endless expansion? Mr. Captain? Roger continued to be unconvinced, having his own opinion on these alleged facts.
"As for what kind of direction the democratic government has formulated, whether the development of mankind depends too much on expansion, or even the limitation or expansion of the size of the army itself, it is not something to consider as a soldier, your question makes me difficult, this classmate, I seem to have made it clear just now, the duty of a soldier is obedience." Captain Liu was still patient, but Jonny could see that he was tired of the subject.
"Isn't choosing not to join the army the best way to confront this expansionist political opinion, as you said, without our latest gears in the war machine, the old ones will eventually rust until they can no longer be reused, and the politicians who are above the top may change their course and reformulate their views." Roger suddenly threw out his opinion, and his words made Liu Lianjia stunned.
"Do what you want, that's not wrong." Captain Liu shook his head and smiled. "Regardless of the right or wrong of this line of thinking, everyone thinks differently, and it is probably not as easy as you imagine to achieve these so-called resistances."
"I know, Captain, that I'm just throwing out this notion as an expression of the common man's political opinion of the day." Roger said without hesitation.
"Political expression? Maybe it's better to use the ballot, don't you think? Liu Lianjia put an embarrassed expression on his face, which made the students laugh.
"Okay, okay, let me put it another way." The captain saw that Roger was waiting to speak, and quickly shook his arm to stop him, as if he did not want to favor the increasingly awkward atmosphere into an argument.
"If the Silver Alliance is attacked by an alien race for no reason, in order not to carry historical views and prejudices, we assume that this is an unknown alien race." Captain Liu raised a finger and smiled meaningfully as he swept the faces of the students in the classroom.
"Suppose the first contact between the two sides is followed by an attack on us that can lead to devastating results...... Regardless of the reason, regardless of the matter, such an army pressed on, crushed all the galaxies it passed, met the gods and killed the gods, without mercy, and slaughtered all the way to the past......" The captain rubbed his palm and slid it, making a fierce expression on his face.
"Then I will naturally go to the nearest recruiting point to join the Silver Alliance army as quickly as possible." Roger. Clark listened to him without hesitation.
"Look, that's what I mean." The captain winked at Roger. "But don't you think it's too late? I mean, in terms of training, military literacy...... Do you know how to fly a spaceship? Do you operate turrets, light guides, ground sweepers, or even just tactical panels? ”
"Will you shoot an enemy with a gun?" He asked Roger one last time.
"No, but I can learn, and I learn quickly." Roger said confidently.
"Of course, of course, who is going to resist and procrastinate while you are studying? I mean, since everybody has to put forward their own political opinions, there is no shortage of what you call 'rusty' guys in the army, and would you like to watch a bunch of dying old men drive destroyers to protect the rear, so that you can master the so-called military skills as soon as possible? Liu Lianjia's rhetorical question left Roger speechless.
"Your question has obvious design marks, Captain." Luna spoke at this time, and she helped Roger speak: "For hundreds of years, human beings have explored the stargates, and the possibility of unknown alien races appearing is basically zero, and in my opinion, there is no war for no reason in this world. You're being alarmist. ”
"Am I?" Liu Lianjia stared at Luna, and somehow, the little girl was forced to lower her head by his eyes, which made Jonny feel a little strange after sitting in a few seats.
"I said that this world is very big, and there are many more strange things that are not in your 'opinion'......" His words made Luna unable to refute.
Jonny could hear something from his words, and it was only at this point that he suddenly felt that this Captain Liu Lianjia was not simple, not because of his wisdom and smooth conversation, but because of something deeper, which he felt, but could not say.
"So that's the end of today's Q&A session?" Captain Liu looked around the classroom at this time, smiling and asking for the students' opinions, until most of them nodded to him and seconded him.
"Okay, very." He laughed. "Then let's talk about something that we like, and who of you wants to know what the largest warship of the Silver Alliance Navy is? How many crew members are on board, how many restaurants are there, what is the food, and what are the daily entertainments? I didn't bring any holographic courseware today, but I did bring a physical ...... You see, this is a highly restored model of the battleship USS New York City......"
