The eyes of the three people met, and Qi Xiao said with a smile: "Yes, our only choice now is to cross the Wall of Sighs and defeat Hades." ”

Rhaegar said to Qi Xiao, "Hardy now...... No, Negal, most likely dead, and we have air supremacy and can even defeat a country without meeting. ”

"So how about assigning you and Alina to do this brisk errand?"

Qi Xiao asked rhetorically, "Why me?" When did Rhaegar Norris become the one who sat in the command room drinking coffee and calling the shots? ”

Rhaegar smiled, sat back in his chair, and leaned back: "It's very simple, I'm the last hole card of the expeditionary force, if you're the strongest among us, you can be like me." ”

"And the current defense of the base is inseparable from Ian, so we only have the two of you mobile forces."

He breathed a long sigh of relief and spoke slowly, "Jacques's expedition has been routed, and we don't know that Negar has incited those people, but it is certain that his city is not ready to surrender at the moment. ”

Qi Xiao turned his head to look to the west, and through the window, the distant land was vast, and the heat generated by the volcano made him unable to see too far at all.

"Negar is not dead yet, Ian and I have seen what a god is like when he dies, and Negal is at least much stronger than Ramasus." Qi Xiao muttered to himself.

"And that's what worries us the most." Rhaegar nodded admittedly, "We can't repeat the mistakes of the last time, we can't be ...... by them Turn the tiger away from the mountain. ”

Rhaegar uttered an idiom that impressed Qi Xiao at the time, and in any case, Rhaegar was still qualified to be the "tiger".

Qi Xiao looked back at the rows of pictures on the satellite map, and frowned: "But if you want to fight this kind of place...... what the hell is this,...... It's going to have to add money. ”

"Add money?"

"It's easy, you'll have to meet my requests." Qi Xiao said.

"Let's talk about it, if it's an armament, it should be fine." Rhaegar said nonchalantly.

"Okay......" Qi Xiao nodded, "I want the support of long-range nuclear bombs, at least twenty 50,000 tons of yield to hit key targets, an unlimited number of rockets, white phosphorus bombs, cloud burst bombs to wash the ground, and enough defoliant, at least five planetary fortresses are in the front line, I want American goods, the kind that can 3D print tanks at any time, no problem, right?" After all, I'm out of the woods. ”

Ian's eyes widened: "This ...... Exaggeration, right? ”

"Exaggerated? …… You look at this map. Qi Xiao pointed to the screen: "This is the scale, this is the map drawn by the Americans, how big is the Kuta Kutu?" That's at least 300,000 square kilometers, the size of a Vietnam. ”

"It's going to be a tough war, guys, if we want to take the city, at least this piece, this piece, this piece...... Sweep them clean. Qi Xiao stepped forward and circled it piece by piece on the map.

"If the United States fights Vietnam now, how much is it really with twenty? How? You didn't beat it down for 500,000 tons or more than 5 million tons back then, haven't you beaten it yet? ”

"Ordinary explosives and nuclear bombs are two different things, and now nuclear bombs are miniaturized, and they are not the same concept as seventy or eighty years ago." Rhaegar looked at the messy map drawn by Qi Xiao and argued with a frown.

"But war here is not the same concept as on earth. Negar was a strange deity, unlike the exiles of Lagash, who was nominally a vassal to the Annu, but in fact had long since taken matters into his own hands. Is there anyone else in the twelve city-states who can do this but Negar? Qi Xiao argued.

Rhaegar nodded: "I have also noticed this, his strength is likely to be not inferior to Anu. ”

Qi Xiao sighed and looked up at the ceiling: "I also want the command of 100,000 soldiers, all of which are concentrated under my designated commander." If the number of troops is less than this, it is better to recall Jacques, pinch his nose and accept his fate, anyway, the five cities where we closed the portal have not been skimmed yet, and they are not inferior to Negar's territory. ”

"It's absolutely not going to work!" Reed retorted solemnly, "Negar is our closest enemy, and we must kill him first." ”

He stood up and wandered around the room for a while, looking at Qi Xiao with a smile on his face: "I suddenly have a feeling of 1979. ”

Qi Xiao held the table with both hands: "Don't talk nonsense, give money." ”

Rhaegar nodded affirmatively: "Okay, I'll do the work of the military, you go and clean up the garden of our base." ”

The air in the room was silent for a while, Ian thought quietly for a while, and suddenly stood up with a sudden realization: "What do you mean...... Want to ruin an entire country? Kill all the creatures there? ”

"Genocide?"

"You've probably heard from Nyingmar, there are no creatures there, only devils." Qi Xiao turned around and said calmly.

"But ......," Ian shook his head vigorously at the thought of the terrible thing that was about to happen, and said loudly and excitedly, "gentlemen, we come from a civilized world, and I don't think it's humane enough...... Or civilization. ”

"Cairo, Johannesburg, Cape Town, you certainly didn't think of that when these cities fell." Rhaegar turned around and said with a leisurely sarcastic.

"Think about it, Ian, nothing is unjust when it comes to facing the gods of death and plague." Qi Xiao also persuaded.

Immanuel Kant once said: There are two things in the world that can deeply shock people's hearts, one is the lofty moral code in our hearts, and the other is the brilliant starry sky above our heads. We must have some other way, right, Qi Xiao? Ian turned his gaze to Qi Xiao and looked at him sadly.

"Justice or not should be seen in the context of the specific times......" Rhaegar lit a cigar, took a puff, held it in his hand and continued: "The war we are fighting now is the key to determining the life and death of all mankind, and the rules of the past are not fully applicable. ”

"I remember when I was in the military academy, the professor said that there are three forms of the international system. The first is the Kantian system, a system that has a common sense of supreme identity and abides by the rules of etiquette, and the war is low-intensity, like the era of European city-states, in order to avoid larger-scale casualties, the warriors are often used to decide the outcome of the war in a heads-up manner, and the emphasis is on the head-on victory and preferential treatment of the loser. ”

"The second is the Lockean system, which dissolves the highest sense of identity, but the entities follow certain rules to play a game, that is, there is a set of international law, the intensity of war is not high, preferential treatment of prisoners, no harm to civilians, no use of chemical weapons, biological weapons, etc. The so-called war is the last resort to settle disputes after civilized methods have failed. ”

"The third is the Hobbesian system, in which the struggle is completely disordered with the expansion of the theory of war and the change in the scale of the war and the change in the purpose of the battle. Everybody's red-eyed, and that's what we're like now. ”

"Ian, you're a scientist, do you know why this is happening?" Rhaegar took a hard puff of his cigarette and pressed the end of his cigarette into the ashtray.

Ian turned his gaze to Rhaegar and tilted his head.

"This is because the definition of the state and the people has changed." Rhaegar replied herself.

He looked at Ian, and his face suddenly became irritated: "We are burdened with the hope of all mankind, not some bullshit false reputation, and at any time, those who do not need to take responsibility are always the strongest in combat, because their hands are always clean and not stained with anyone's blood." ”

"I still can't accept that." Ian shook his head and said bitterly.

"I'll do bad things, and you can take good reputations." With a mocking smile on his lips, Rhaegar stood in front of Ian, "If you don't agree with this war, then you can go, Mr. Ian." ”

"If it weren't for advances in remote control technology and super soldiers like us, we probably wouldn't have fought this war at all." Qi Xiao turned his head and said to the two, as if he was excusing Ian.

What he is talking about is the fact that in the early 21st century, unmanned remote control technology began to be widely used in the military, and the soldiers of the superpower could even control drones thousands of miles away in their rooms while drinking coffee to harvest the lives of those terrorists.

However, this is limited to low-intensity war situations.

After 2030, a wider range of unmanned technology has been developed, unmanned artillery, unmanned tanks have been used in actual combat one by one, and between major powers, a local war has truly evolved into a bloodless handle war.

It was precisely because of the advent of the Handle War that the United Nations finally decided to send an expeditionary force of 300,000 to end this long-standing nightmare on Earth.

However, all this does give rise to a much more serious Madonnaism, in which any life, any form of sacrifice becomes an unforgivable sin.

Clearly, Ian has been eroded by this trend.

"But what if we don't fight this battle? When our civilization is completely destroyed and humanity is completely destroyed, who will remember us except for the artists of Nibiru who may shed a few tears for us? Who will sympathize with us? Rhaega shouted.

"They will just point to our bones and say, behold, this is a slave!"

"Okay, okay......" Ian stood up from his chair and looked at his expression, which was clearly compromised.

He smiled self-deprecatingly: "The four of us, now it's two to one, even if you vote, that Russian madwoman will definitely agree with your point of view." ”

He sighed out the window: "I originally thought that war was not just an airplane and a cannon, it was also a kind of human self-awakening, the agitation of thoughts, the sublimation of life, and a kind of art, but I didn't see the slightest image that a race that was exterminated before we met, and a city that existed for thousands of years was destroyed, could constitute an image that I was willing to appreciate." ”

"Don't forget that an artist said that only war and love can do anything." Rhaegar reminded.

"I'm just a little magician, you keep talking, I'll go see the progress of the erection of the aerospace weapon." Ian finished and walked out the door.
