When Rear Admiral Piro arrived on the ground aboard the landing ship Yakata, he spoke with a playful look: "It's disappointing to see you alive, Your Excellency, Commander." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 InfoOriginally, I thought I would be able to act as the commander of the 56th Fleet. ”

"I don't think you're the kind of man who just thinks about being a commander and is satisfied, there are not many examples of acting commanders turning regular in the history of the alliance, if you really want to be a lieutenant general, you should rely on your own martial arts." Spock retorted coldly.

Major General Piro came to Spock, gave a standard military salute, and said, "Welcome back, Your Excellency, Commander." ”

Spock shook his head: "Based on my current position, I'm afraid it's better to temporarily remove the command." ”

Major General Piro glanced at Colonel Gand, who was standing on the side, before saying, "Your Excellency, the subordinate does not think that in such a case where a colonel has acted as a collaborator because of a personal grudge and plotted to kill his own commander, it is necessary to temporarily remove the command authority of the commander of the injured side. ”

"But at the same time he accepted the ?????? of the Union Council"

Piro interrupted Spock's words: "Your Excellency, the secret operations of some government officials are not something that our soldiers should be involved in. The Lieutenant did not consider this aspect of the matter before transferring Colonel Gandt from the court-martial to the full-fledged court. ”

Piro's statement was obviously to protect Spock, so Spock didn't say anything more, just silently watched what Piro was going to do next.

I saw Major General Piro say to Colonel Gander: "Colonel, in view of the position of His Excellency the Commander, it is now up to me to announce the punishment of your temporary imprisonment, which will be carried out until the military court is held, and if you have any objections, you can submit a request for appeal to the Supreme Command of the Galactic Alliance." ”

"The lower officials have no objections." Colonel Gander straightened his back and took Rear Admiral Piro's gaze head-on, then calmly stretched out his hands and let the accompanying soldiers carry him to the landing ship.

After he left, Major General Piro turned to the six soldiers and said, "The six of you will appear as witnesses at the court-martial, and now you can disband." ”

"Yes!" The six soldiers saluted and then walked onto the landing ship.

At this time, Piro waved his hand and motioned for the accompanying soldiers to return to the ship, and then said to Spock: "Your Excellency, let me criticize you arrogantly, you have made a big mistake today. Apparently you were aware of Colonel Gand's misdeeds, but in order to obtain evidence you took such a thoughtless move, destroying the coalition landing craft and killing three soldiers in the process. This would be very disadvantageous in court. And you've also contained a ground-attack robot of the Hatu people. ”

Spock smiled wryly, "Maybe you don't believe it, this robot is my grandfather." ”

Spock then told Major General Piro about his disappearance in battle.

After listening to Spock's account, Piro let out a long breath and said, "To be honest, I believe what you say, but you don't have enough evidence to prove this matter for the court to admit." Even if the court accepts your claim, the punishment for your robot that committed the crime will probably be melted down and destroyed. ”

"Well, I get that, too. In fact, I'm just doing it to confirm one thing. I had previously suspected that the Coalition was spying on humanity, but it has now been confirmed to be true, and it is a universal fact. To be honest, this frustrates me, are humans really that unreliable? ”

"I only found out about it today, and I was shocked. I didn't expect the coalition to chase after the wind and misuse taxpayers' money for what didn't happen. Hearing this, I even suspect that they are monitoring people on other planets as well, as long as they feel that the people of this planet are threatening. Piro said and tapped his head slightly.

"Yes, I also think that the Alliance's approach seriously violates the original intention of its establishment, and if this matter is leaked, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction on many planets. As a party to this matter, if I go back to the military court to stand trial, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not do it in secret. Spock voiced his concerns.

"Your Excellency, are you implying that I should kill someone?" Piro's eyes widened suddenly.

"You are mistaken, Major General. How you will behave has your own principles, I'm talking about my grandfather, and my personal problems. For personal reasons, I can't watch my grandfather be sentenced to death by the Alliance, and even my own life cannot be guaranteed, and I may have to include Major Natasha and you. ”

"It's nerve-wracking to say that." Major General Piro sighed and suddenly sat down on the ground: "Listen to what you mean, shouldn't you be deserting?" ”

Spock smiled wryly when he heard this, and indeed Major General Piro knew his thoughts very well: "I don't move politics, and besides, human beings have no real place in the alliance as a very small minority, and those politicians who act for the sake of votes will not offend those influential parliamentarians for the sake of millions of votes." There is little hope that a federal constitution will resolve the matter. Besides, I had planned to disarm and return to the field after the destruction of the Hatu people. ”

"I mean, you didn't want to go into seclusion because you had some abnormal relationship with Major Natasha, did you?"

Major General Piro's words made Spock mentally feel like he was falling off a cliff, and Natasha, who had been listening to the sidelines, choked on saliva and couldn't stop coughing.

"That's right, that's right. These two young people really don't know much about the love of men and women, and it is clear that the matter is already clear, but they still refuse to open their mouths to find out. That's when Rick interjected for the first time.

Piro looked the robot up and down and smiled, "You really don't look like a robot. But you're the wrong one, and we, the Matter, are slow to do that. ”

After saying this, Piro suddenly stood up and said, "Your Excellency Commander, in view of the fact that there are still armed forces of the Hatu Star people on the earth, the lower officer suggests that you immediately return to your post of commanding the fleet!" It is expected that it will take at least another month to completely purge the remnants of the Hatu on Earth, and during this time, the 56th Fleet still has a lot to do to wait for your instructions to act! ”

Piro's implication was that since Colonel Gander had been arrested, Spock still had the supreme authority of the fleet as supreme commander until the remnants of the enemy were cleared, and if Spock had anything he wanted to do, he had at least a month to do. Since Piro reminded himself like this, that is, to make his position clear to himself, there are actually few paths left in front of Spock now, at least it will be easier to return to the post of fleet commander to do things. Spock followed Rear Admiral Piro's advice and boarded the landing ship.
