Chapter 37: Silent Walls (Revised)

Considering Jasmine's feelings, the group meeting was held in the form of a dinner party next to the bridge room. The air-filled cabin of the Pen, Fun and Pavilion www.biquge.info filled with air, and everyone sat in a circle, and emergency food was placed on the picnic cloth.

Everyone was exhausted after a busy time just now, but now everyone has no appetite for food. Everyone has a big question mark written on their face. What to do? Confused and nervous, morale is very low.

In view of the rank and actual performance, the venue was dominated by Liao Fan, Fang Hushan, Ivan, Avina, Edlaide and Man Ruide, and the others were automatically in auxiliary positions.

Liao Fan and Fang Hushan were full of joy and anger, and their expressions were no different from usual at this time. Ivan is a lazy late-stage cancer plus a foodie. The three of them, as the original No. 3 ship bridge group, were not polite, grabbed the food and munched on it, looking like no one was around. Edlaide, Avina and Manred are members of the original No. 4 bridge crew. They maintained the reserved, serious, and self-controlled nature of the military, led by Edlaide.

"I heard that you already have a plan, I hope it won't be too difficult to implement."

After many setbacks, coupled with the fact that Max is still in a dangerous period, Xiucai's mood is extremely bad. As he spoke, he couldn't help but add a mocking tone to Liao Fan's opponent.

"What's the matter, Captain No. 4, he can't think of a way to trouble us! No matter what the plan is, this is all thought up by our No. 3 bridge group, you have the ability to think of one yourself! ”

Bears are a commodity that can get in but can't get out. It doesn't involve life safety and so on, he definitely puts the interests of the small group first. Although he had a lot of dissatisfaction with Liao Fan, in the face of the sarcasm of another bridge group, he naturally stood on Liao Fan's side.

Xiucai just showed a little dissatisfaction, and he took back the words of splitting his head and covering his face, and he had the momentum of scolding a street.

Liao Fan stretched out his hand and pressed it falsely, signaling Ivan to be calm and calm. He looked like a chief, ate the bread in his mouth for a long time, and drank half a pot of water slowly.

The No. 4 bridge crew and others did not look good. If Ivan's scolding can still be endured, Liao Fan's cold provocation will make the negative emotions even more unbearable.

Liao Fan himself did not consciously affect the mood of his colleagues, and he habitually ignored the performance of others. A series of slow motions are all about the need to organize your thoughts.

"Our plan is based on the idea that the Imperial Army wants to occupy this spaceport for a long time and use it as a springboard for conquering Earth and Moon fortresses."

His righteousness was unexpected, and he suddenly jumped to the right thing, which caught people off guard. Finally ready to fight back, Avina stopped talking because of his speech, and swallowed back the words, looking very uncomfortable.

"Our biggest problem is supplies. Time is not on our side due to insufficient supplies, either find supplies and live, or lose them and die. Of course, there is a third option... ”

He lifted his eyes and scanned the crowd. Xiucai glared back at him, and the relationship between the two instantly became tense.

"What do you mean?"

"We can still surrender."

Liao Fan stopped talking, and looked at his colleagues with rich expressions. Some people are angry, some people think, and some people are surprised at first, then suddenly, and then their eyes wander. Faced with this desperate situation, if it is possible to surrender and solve the problem, he believes that many people have this idea. It's just that due to the general concept of justice and the fact that no one takes the lead, everyone deeply avoids this topic. He didn't have the slightest qualms, and pierced the film without any scruples, and the atmosphere of the meeting immediately became ambiguous.

"Please don't say anything that affects morale, our officers and soldiers will not be easily taken prisoner."

Xiucai spoke with a stern and serious expression. But not all the people around him looked as determined as him. Keeping everyone's expressions in his eyes, Edlaide was first surprised, and then showed a depressed expression.

Liao Fan didn't have the same rich expression as him, and after a slight pause, he continued to introduce his thoughts.

"Just thinking about surrendering, we don't have to do anything, just send a communication in the direction of the spaceport. So, our thinking is focused on the premise of not surrendering. ”

Liao Fan stopped again and looked at the attendees.

"Can you not have a meeting like this, don't you have morale?" , Xiucai's loss of his usual calmness. Liao Fan thought irresponsibly, maybe he would slap the table in the next moment, but unfortunately there was no table to shoot here.

Liao Fan's conjecture did not come true. With Avina by her side, she wouldn't allow Edlaide to do anything out of character.

"Well, gentlemen, now is not the time to play with words, and it's not our turn to fall on each other. Liao Fan, you don't have to hide it, tell your plan, I don't believe you will wait until everyone has a clear mind before taking action, as you said. ”

Avina's words were stern and realistic. Edlaide, who was seated, realized his previous gaffe, his face flushed, and he lowered his head.

Liao Fan glanced at Avina appreciatively, this is the most powerful woman he has ever seen, not in terms of strength, but in the world.

He turned to look at Fang Hushan and nodded at him. Since several births and deaths, the silent duo of the No. 3 bridge group has become more and more cooperative, and there is a posture that one plus one is greater than two.

Receiving Liao Fan's hint, Fang Hushan introduced the details of the plan in his characteristic wooden tone.

The plan bluntly pointed out that surrender was not impossible to consider, but it was necessary not to entrust one's own life to the whim of the imperial army, and it was necessary to find out the enemy's prisoner policy and ensure the lives of all people as much as possible.

No one at the venue prevented Fang Hushan from openly discussing the strategy of surrender, not even Edlaide.

"It's good to find the right opportunity to surrender. If we can't surrender, we must act and fight for our own survival. ”

"Can't surrender?"

"Yes, with Proxima Centauri as an opponent, it is very likely that there will be a situation where you will not be able to surrender."

"You're saying they're going to kill them all?"

"Judging by their use of nuclear weapons against the planet, this is extremely likely."

Fang Hushan's words set off a silent storm among everyone. Many people showed a look of disbelief, unbelief, and had to believe.

The inability to surrender, in the eyes of some, took away the hope of life, and the atmosphere in the venue became more and more depressing.

There is something wrong with that. As you just said, the premise of the overall plan is that the Empire wants to occupy the Lagrange spaceport for a long time, and use it as a base to attack the Earth and the Moon. Now you say that the Imperial wants to kill them all and leave no prisoners, don't you think it's inconsistent? ”

Xiucai deserves a solid theoretical foundation, and his logical ability surpasses ordinary people, and he quickly grasped the sore foot of the plan. Many people around him looked at him with hopeful eyes, and if it could be proved that the extermination was a misreading, their hopes of survival would be greatly increased.

"It's not a contradiction. The capture of the spaceport by the Imperial Army can be divided into three modes: destructive occupation, short-term occupation and long-term occupation. If it is occupied for a short time, there will definitely be no need for prisoners, and killing clean is the only way to go. Short-term occupation, in order to allow the spaceport to operate for a short period of time, due to its functionality, the Imperial forces may consider temporarily leaving some prisoners to deal with before the occupation is over. Long-term occupation is good news for captives, and in order to effectively manage the spaceport for a long time, a large number of professionals are indispensable. It is unlikely that the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet would have had such a large number of human resources, and they were most likely to leave behind a large number of prisoners. ”

Liao Fan answered Xiucai's question instead of Fang Hushan, and responded to Xiucai's uneasy eyes with indifferent eyes. The latter wanted to look back, but for some reason looked away.

"Our idea is simple, scout the spaceport and judge the pattern of occupation by the Imperial Army. The worst-case scenario is that the Imperial Army's purpose is to destroy the spaceport, leaving us little room to hide in place, hoping to hold out until they leave. In the remaining two cases, our response strategy can be different. In the face of the Imperial Army, which has long occupied the intentions, we can surrender and become the staff of the spaceport to save ourselves. ”

With Fang Hushan's wooden, peel-off analysis plan, the originally anxious and anxious atmosphere of the venue gradually turned quiet. As Liao Fan estimated, the vast majority of people are swayed by emotions, and will exaggerate the difficulties they face and ignore their own advantages.

Facts have proved that Liao Fan's judgment is correct. It is only at this stage that the meeting is on the right track.

Fang Hushan may be the person with the least mind in the venue, and continues his unhurried and unhurried plan analysis.

"If it is judged that the Imperial Army is using the spaceport for a short time, first of all, we cannot surrender, because it is difficult to guarantee that they will not die afterwards. Secondly, we need to be prepared to infiltrate for a long time and obtain resources from the existing captives in the port. Finally, we need to make a plan for disengagement and ensure that we can protect ourselves until the Imperial Army abandons the spaceport. ”

The venue was silent. This time even Edlaide had nothing to say. The plan discussed by the silent duo is exhaustive and encompasses every conceivable course of action. Just when everyone was dominated by emotions and kept venting and complaining, the two silently arranged the follow-up direction for everyone, and this maturity and reliability even the self-proclaimed amazing and brilliant Edlaide, or the recognized mature and stable Avina are not as good as it.

Three hours later, at the edge of the Lagrange Cosmoport, strangely shaped shuttles silently skimmed the range of satellite fortress guns. As soon as it was out of the threatening range of the race, the pale yellow engine light flashed, and the shuttle turned into an inconspicuous streamer that blended into the light and shadow, busy and crowded interior of the Lagrange spaceport.
