Chapter 97: Give up
The four core residential areas of the Tranquility are bustling with people. Since the restoration www.biquge.info of communication in the ship, as well as the information brought by Liao Fan and others from the shell, the contradictions that had been hidden in the ship have been stimulated.
"Comrades, please be quiet, we are all members of the City of Tranquility, part of the starship civilization. We should think about the healthy development of civilization ... ”
Manred shouted through the loudspeakers, and the commotion in the crowd did not abate in the slightest. The refugees formed a huge petition procession, constantly storming the main passage in the direction of the bridge, and if the alloy door had not been lowered in time, the crowd would have been storming the headquarters at this moment.
"We're going to Mars, we're going to be free...
"your starship civilization, we're going to live on planets."
"Freedom! Freely! Freely! ”
"Fight the warlords and restore democracy!"
All kinds of slogans were transmitted to the headquarters through the communication circuit, giving the top management of the Tranquility a strange feeling that they were standing on the opposite side of the people.
"******, I can't stand it! As they liked, we took the shuttle and left, and let them face the pirates themselves, and see if the pirates talked to them about democracy. Max lost his temper and stood up with a slap on the table, being held down by Edlaide.
"Shut up! Lack of oxygen hurts your brain? If this group of people were to be left to the pirates, it would have been better to leave them to the Imperial Army. The petite figure that had been lost for a long time appeared in front of everyone. Her voice was so familiar to everyone, but her image was already unfamiliar, and such a familiar stranger sat in the command center, which was a very different feeling.
"Alright, enough worries, don't add fuel to the fire. But the refugees' demands are not unreasonable. Compared with the arduous starship civilization, life on a planet is naturally much more comfortable. After all, we belong to the Second Fleet, and it is only natural that we should ask for help from the Mars Guard, which is also part of the government. ", the bald commander and the muddy skills are first-class.
"Why did you change your hexagram? Haven't they all been said before, how can they go back on their word if they want to fight for the establishment of a starship civilization. Avina looked depressed, she was one of the operators who was enthusiastic about helping Manred build the starship civilization.
"This is because there is a group of Earth refugees in the crowd who have not lost their place of residence, but have only fled temporarily. For them, turning to the governments of other planets will not reduce their political status, but will allow them to be rescued as soon as possible. Fang Hushan analyzed the reason as if telling a matter of course. This attitude of his has led many to mistakenly believe that he treats other people as idiots. Sure enough, in the command headquarters, several unkind eyes were concentrated. Fang Hushan was unaware of these hostilities.
"But their numbers are very small, compared to the more than 140,000 Lagrangers, they have a population of less than 5,000, and they can shake the will of so many people?" Avina looked incredulous.
There were many people who thought the same way as her, and immediately there were echoing voices.
"You can't think of it that way. The people are short-sighted creatures, and they also have a characteristic of following the trend. Seeing the choice of the refugees on Earth, I heard that their status will not be affected after being rescued. Many people mistakenly think that we are deceiving. Under false rumors, no matter how reasonable we are, it is in vain. Once the seeds of doubt have taken root, it is even more difficult to eradicate them. ”
Manred explained Avina's confusion in frustration.
"I thought you would go deep into the crowd and do work on the spot, but I didn't expect to come here to hide and relax. No wonder people say that people who engage in politics are liars... Drake, the short, sturdy, and wide head of the engineering department, resembles a dwarf in an ancient magic novel, and his sarcastic words are exchanged for the latter's aggrieved look.
"You said lightly, my current image has plummeted, and if I appear in front of the crowd, I will only be smashed into flesh by angry fists."
"Humph! Pretty self-aware. ”
Liao Fan, who had been busy in front of the communication desk, returned to the conference table at this time, and various voices quieted down. Everyone looked at him with hopeful expressions.
"Unfortunately, the surrounding area is riddled with tactical-level jamming signals, and we are unable to make contact with Mars."
Sighs of disappointment came and went.
"What's next? The chaos has spread to the troops, and if it is allowed to develop, let alone resist, it will not be possible to maintain the existing organizational stability. ", Edlaide asked in an anxious tone. If he didn't really have no choice, he would generally not ask his competitor's Liao Fan for help.
Liao Fan's cold expression became even colder at this time. The slender eyes reflected the frost.
"There are two ways."
The people around were moved. In the current state, everyone is helpless, he actually has a solution, and there are two at once, and everyone's evaluation of him has immediately improved a lot.
"One of the ways to do this, which Max has already mentioned, is for us to leave them to their own devices." , Liao Fan spoke calmly, and the people who listened to it couldn't face it calmly.
If Max's words are angry words, everyone can understand them. Then Liao Fan's words can't be simply summarized as thoughtful blurt words. Besides, he's not an impulsive person.
"Please don't talk about the impossible. We have not yet degenerated to the point where we have to trade the fate of refugees for a chance to survive. The first to jump was the bald commander. Lagrange's refugees are where his values lie, and it is better for him to abandon them than to kill him.
There was a whisper in the headquarters, and people looked at Liao Fan's eyes and became very unfriendly.
"I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. Shouldn't the threat of piracy be an opportunity for us to step up and fight for the well-being of the refugees? It's a mistake to come up with the same idea as that guy with a broken brain. ”
As Jasmine spoke, her two small hands clenched into fists, and her curved willow eyebrows stood upside down, like two sharp swords.
"Oh, fight for the well-being of the refugees! But they didn't let us fight for them at all. They are shouting at the warlords outside, and they want us to give them their freedom! ”
Liao Fan's words pierced a lot of people's hearts like fine needles.
"They've been deceived by the bad guys, just explain it to them...
"Bad guys? Where are the bad guys? Or do you say that the more than 4,000 refugees on Earth are bad people? How do you want to kill more than 4,000 refugees on Earth and convince 140,000 Lagrange refugees? ”
"I..." , Jasmine was speechless for a while, in fact, she couldn't answer Liao Fan, because there could be no answer to this question.
"What's the other plan?" , Fang Hushan's calm question saved many people. In the headquarters, many people breathed a sigh of relief, because they didn't have to face Liao Fan's sharp rhetorical question.
