The capital of the Republic of Black, the Blind Star Field.

In Xiang Dan's private study, the residence of the supreme consul, more than a dozen senior officials from the military and political circles were sitting or standing, all with gloomy faces, closed lips, and silence!

From time to time, their eyes looked at the partition door in the study, where the heavy door had been closed for a full two hours! But none of the people present looked impatient, and they still waited patiently!

From this, you can see the weight of the Supreme Archon in the hearts of these big men! Since Xiang Dan came to power, he has been in power for more than 60 years, and anyone who might be disloyal to him has been ruthlessly purged! Even at a time when the Republic is facing an unprecedented crisis, there are still not many people who dare to have strange thoughts! Those who have that mind dare not openly show it and challenge his authority to his face!

In the study, dark black curtains hide the outside light, and the thick plush carpet is filled with all kinds of empty wine bottles with exquisite appearance! Just by looking at the emblem above, you can understand that these are all famous boutiques in the entire Xinghai World! And there is no one that is less than 300 years old!

An old man with a disheveled and unshaven beard was lying on the ground, with a half-extinguished cigar in his mouth, and an empty bottle that had long since bottomed out, his bloodshot eyes staring at the sandalwood desk in the distance.

He kept this posture and didn't move for a long time! If it weren't for the fact that his chest was still rising and falling slightly, it would almost be mistaken for thinking that the supreme consul of the republic had already committed suicide!

In fact, the current Xiang Dan does have the idea of making a decision on his own! For this reason, even the necessary preparations have been arranged, but when the time comes, I hesitate!

Although he is a lot of age, as long as there is a glimmer of life, who will take the initiative to seek death? He holds the supreme power, the life and death of the people of the trillions of republics! The feeling of standing tall above the clouds and looking down on all beings is so wonderful and intoxicating!

However, in recent years, the situation in the Xinghai Sea has changed, and the former superpower was once forced to the point of near death by its neighbors for various reasons! If it weren't for the covert support of the Starlight Empire from the other side of the Star Sea, perhaps the history of the Republic would have ended long ago!

Later, the civil strife in the Rockefeller Empire once rekindled hope in his heart, thinking that maybe the republic could still make a comeback and re-participate in the struggle for hegemony in the Star Sea!

However, the situation evolved so quickly that he was stunned when he was used to seeing the wind! Unified the Starlight Empire in the north of the Star Sea world, and the young emperor led a fleet of tens of millions to the south to attack the southwest Star Sea! In less than half a year, the Tyroa Empire was wiped out all the way! During this period, he even defeated the main intervention legion of the Yanwei clan!

Then, the Imperial Legion continued to move south with the power of a great victory, and in more than two months, the Rockefeller Empire in a divided state was simply wiped out! Then, it's the turn of the Black Republic!

For a powerful empire that can compete with the main forces of alien civilizations and can win in battle! Xiang Dan knows very well in his heart that the only little money left in his country is not enough to stuff people's teeth!

Looking for foreign aid? There are only three countries left in the human world today! I heard that the Gnaslok Empire also suffered a secret loss in front of that emperor, who else could he turn to to save his country?

It seems that surrender is the only viable way if you don't want to die! Maybe that emperor is in a good mood, and he can still be a hereditary duke of the empire! Although he has no power in the future, with the wealth he has looted over the years, it is enough for himself and his family to continue to live a life of fine clothes and food!

It's just that he is the head of a ** country, a hawkish figure who has always been known for being tough on the outside world, if he surrenders without a fight, not only the people around him look down on him, but he can't explain it in front of trillions of domestic citizens! No matter what's going on behind his back, he also pays a lot of attention to his face!

But now, the pressure of the empire has given him more and more, and the land that he once snatched back has lost half of it in the blink of an eye! The rest is also in jeopardy, don't bow your head at this time, and when the chips in your hand are getting less and less, the benefits you can win after passing will be reduced accordingly!

Of course, having held the supreme power in this country for so long, there are some emotions to say! The thought that the history and glory of the Republic was about to end in his own hands was not much better, at least before!

Looking at the time, he felt that it was almost over, and he finally made up his mind, struggled to his feet, and staggered to the bathroom. The sound of rushing water sounded, and when he came out again a moment later, the whole person had already changed his appearance!

In the cloakroom, he chose a new set of formal clothes and changed into them, and finally sorted out his appearance in front of the mirror, and when he walked out of the room again, he returned to the majestic, steady, and calm demeanor of the first person of the republic!

"Your Excellency the Consul, you have finally come out!" A group of military and political officials hurriedly surrounded him, chattering and asking for warmth.

Xiang Dan bowed his head in a reserved manner and asked calmly, "What's the situation outside?" Is there any news over there? ”

"Your Excellency, the situation is not optimistic!" "Their Emperor has sent a notice asking us to give an unconditional surrender within seventy-two hours!" ”

"Seventy-two hours? That young man was really anxious! Xiang Dan pretended to smile leisurely and asked:

"What is he going to do if we don't say yes?"

Sims looked at his face and said softly: "His Majesty the Emperor said that if we don't surrender!" Then there will never be a chance to surrender again! He will slaughter the royal bloodlines of the two empires, and kill all the high-ranking people of the entire republic! ”

"Bastard!" Xiang Dan finally became angry, and a touch of iron blue appeared on his slightly emaciated face:

"Starlight Empire? Yun Haoyu is simply too deceitful, isn't he afraid that we will ...... Will ......"

What will happen, he can't say it after all! In fact, he also understands that the current republic no longer has any means to threaten the Imperial Legion outside! This is just to vent!

Defense Minister Kailda sighed bitterly and said:

"Your Excellency, we don't have much of a force to use now! Even if you continue to fight, this result will not change in the slightest! So, how to decide, you just ordered, right? ”

The matter has come to this point, if they don't make up their minds, I'm afraid that it will be impossible to go abroad and live in exile in the future, the Star Sea World is almost unified, where can they go?

The core figures of power in the entire republic are here at this moment, looking at their leaders with an earnest face!

(There is one more shift before 12 o'clock!) ）
