In the conference room of the Earth Federation Council, the oval metal table is surrounded by high-level bigwigs of various federal governments, and there is a clear distinction between military and political circles.

Field Marshal Dean, who was sitting on the right hand side of the presidential seat, suddenly stood up from his seat and said to all the top federal officials: "Everyone, please look here, I have a strategic plan to capture Krandav Star that I want to send to everyone to see!" ”

With that, Dean sat down, pressed the enter key on his desktop computer with his middle finger, and suddenly, the strategic plan in Dean's computer was sent to everyone present through the local area network.

After the federal parliamentarians, marshals and other high-ranking military and political officials saw this strategic plan, the hall first fell into silence for dozens of meters, and then suddenly burst into an exclamation, and Marshal Dicks expressed his opinion: "This plan is crazy!" But I like it! Dean, I've got your back! ”

Dean bowed his head and smiled in gratitude.

Soon, the conference room fell silent under the eyes of President Abt.

"It's a perfect plan, but I'm not in favor of putting it into practice!" Marshal Matthew spoke out against it.

"Marshal Matthew is right!" Councilor Calvin on the side suddenly stood up, glanced at Marshal Matthew, walked to the center of the conference room, and said to everyone: "I admit that this strategic plan is indeed perfect, and it can even easily allow us to defeat the Arek Zerg, but, don't forget, our Earth Federation has not been at war for a long time?" More than 300 years! It's not that easy to start a war. ”

"I don't mean to use this strategic plan to start a war, I just want to present this perfect strategic plan to everyone, hoping to include it in the federal preparatory strategic plan to prepare for the war with the Zerg in the future." Dean explained.

"Even if a war breaks out between us and the Arek Zerg, then this war will be a rare opportunity for us to train our troops in hundreds of years! A soldier who has not experienced the baptism of war is not a qualified soldier, so how can we give up this opportunity to build an iron-blooded army for us? That's why I'm still in favor of a direct landing operation by mobile troops! Besides, does it take such clever tactics to deal with the Zerg? Is it too much of a fuss? Matthew retorted.

"Makes sense." The members nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing that the House of Representatives seemed to have made a decision, President Abtt, who had been sitting in the first seat, finally spoke up: "Then now vote on whether Marshal Dean's proposal is passed." ”

Among all the parliamentarians and military leaders present, Dean's proposal was rejected by 13 votes in favor and 55 votes against, causing Marshal Dean to be stunned.

It doesn't make sense! Finally, Dean shook his head helplessly and sighed.

Looking at the overwhelming superiority of the opposition, President Abt glanced at Marshal Dean meaningfully and said, "Then it's a pity! Marshal Dean, your proposal cannot be passed! ”

After the meeting was dismissed, Field Marshal Dean walked straight to his small battleship, ready to return to the Strategic Theory Department. At this moment, Marshal Dix caught up, patted Marshal Dean on the shoulder and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a capable person under you?" It's so eye-catching! ”

"Oh, how do you know I didn't come up with this strategic plan?" Field Marshal Dean looked teasingly at the long-time friend.

"Come on, who doesn't know that your combat style has always been known for being conservative, and this time you came up with such a crazy plan, which is not in line with your character, but it scared us a lot."

Dean smiled self-deprecatingly: "Forget it, it didn't pass anyway, I really don't understand what they think, such a perfect strategic plan can't pass the council?" This is really incredible, it's not that I advocate taking the initiative to attack, I'm just taking precautions, doesn't the federal government really have a sense of crisis for the Eric Zerg? ”

"Not necessarily, maybe one day something mysterious will suddenly visit Earth." Dix smiled mysteriously at Dean.

Dean stepped onto his small battleship, suddenly turned around and said, "I feel like you know something."

Dean hurriedly returned to the Strategic Theory Department, and after entering his office, he opened a window to the computer screen, and said to the secretary in the window: "Call Second Lieutenant Lin Gongyu to me." ”

The secretary immediately operated the computer and connected to the video communicator in Lin Gongyu's room.

After a while, Lin Gongyu, dressed in a neat military uniform, came to Dean's office.

Dean stretched out his hand to stop Lin Gongyu's salute, walked up to him and said, "Your strategic plan was rejected in the meeting. ”

"Oh? Why is that? Lin Gongyu didn't expect Dean to feed back his strategic plan to the federal government so quickly, but it seems that things are getting more and more interesting!

Dean told Lin Gongyu everything that happened in the conference room, and Lin Gongyu thought for a while and asked, "Then what departments are Marshal Dix and Marshal Matthew responsible for?" ”

"Dix is responsible for the operation of all space stations and reconnaissance posts in the solar system, and reports the information back to the General Command. Matthew is in command of part of the fleet, with the main fleet forces concentrated between the solar system and the twin galaxies (the system where the Erek Zerg are located). ”

Lin Gongyu showed a contemplative look, and after a while, he suddenly said: "I see! I see, Marshal! ”

"What do you understand?" Dean hurriedly asked.

"Perhaps, the war is about to begin!" Lin Gongyu was worried, and said heavily and slowly.

"What!" Dean was startled and grabbed Lin Gongyu's shoulder suddenly, "How do you know?" ”

"Marshal, calm down and listen to my analysis slowly."

"Ahem, you can say it." Dean thumped his head and walked back to his swivel chair and sat down.

"From Matthew's point of view, he does have a point, our Earth Federation Army has indeed not experienced the baptism of war, but from here it is not difficult for us to see the hidden intentions behind Marshal Matthew."

"What intentions?" Dean hurriedly asked.

"May I ask the marshal, if a war breaks out between us and the Zerg, who is most likely to become the commander-in-chief?" Lin Gongyu threw out another question.
