Chapter 163: Fight, Must Fight!
In the underground base of the Tikru Planetary Government, in a holographic simulation conference room, Bob was frowning, staring back and forth at the three supreme commanders of the Ground Combat Group in his seat, as well as the new Space Fleet Marshal Pei Zhimao and Deputy Commander Sturm. Behind him, Hao Yi, who had always been very arrogant, was rarely quietly staring at the St. Proli Star Field map on the wall.
"Let's talk about it, what now?" Seeing that everyone was silent, Bob blushed and asked lightly.
The sudden communication from Jeff last night confirmed Haoyi's suspicion that Erin was indeed captured by the agents sent by Jeff. The sinister Jeff, after giving Bob and Haoyi a look at Erin and confirming that it was her, offered Bob a bid.
Jeff demanded that Bob and his planetary government declare submission to his new government within 24 hours, otherwise he claimed that it would be difficult to guarantee Erin's life.
It turns out that before Jeff had Copollo's battleship launch a deterrent attack on Tikru, he had secretly sent agents to infiltrate the planet Tikru and ambush near Tiko City, trying to find an opportunity to capture Erin or kill Bob outright. In Jeff's opinion, he can act on anything that will help bring down the government of Tikru quickly. He is a man who can do anything to achieve his goals.
In the face of Jeff's aggressiveness, Bob, who has always been resolute, lost his mind for a while because he was worried about Erin, and he didn't know how to respond to Jeff with a blue face. Zuihou, or Haoyi pointed at Jeff in the communicator like thunder, and it was a spitting scolding, which made Jeff's face turn blue with anger, and threw down the sentence "You must give me a clear answer after 24 hours", and hurriedly cut off the communication.
Half an hour later, the top-secret meeting that would decide the fate of the government on Planet Tikru was held in this holographic conference room. However, instead of the clerical politicians in the government, Bob summoned all the important members of the military.
In Bob's concept, for a character like Jeff, you can only talk to him with your fists. And at present, on the planet Tikru, in addition to the police force that maintains local order, there are only the sixth, eighth, and tenth three close combat army groups left, plus the newly attached space fleet, these are all the military liliang that Bob can use at hand.
After negotiations with Jeff Shili broke down, Bob took the opportunity to announce the establishment of the new republic of St. Proli, and claimed to the outside world that the "new government of the republic" established by Jeff was a puppet government that could not be recognized by the general public. Not to be outdone, Jeff held a press conference to officially declare Bob's government on the planet Tikru an illegitimate government, and all the troops who support the Tikru government will be considered rebels. For a time, both sides gathered their armies and prepared for the upcoming civil war.
Both sides were already ready to fly, but at this moment, Jeff suddenly threw out his killer move, which immediately made Bob Shili a little confused.
"Old General Pwell, let's talk about it first!" Seeing that there was still no one to say anything, Bob had to ask by name one by name.
"Captain Qiu, according to the opinion of his subordinates, it seems that the current attack of our army can be postponed for a while. We must ensure Miss Erin's safety before we can launch an attack on Melsa! Seeing Bob personally call the name, the old admiral frowned and muttered, "If we launch a large-scale attack now, my subordinates are afraid that it will irritate Jeff and pose a threat to Miss Irene's safety!" ”
After the establishment of the government of the Republic of St. Prolis in Tikru, Bob was not in a hurry to become prime minister, but still managed the military and political affairs as the captain of Tikru. Therefore, his subordinates still call him the ball master.
"Owen, General Dowton, what do you think?" After listening to Pwell's analysis, Bob was silent for a moment before asking the other two army group commanders.
"Master Huiqiu, the opinions of the two subordinates are the same as General Pwell, and we agree with Jihua who temporarily postpones the attack on Melsa!" Owen and Dalton looked at each other and then replied to Bob.
"Marshal Pei, what about you?" Bob nodded lightly and asked Pei Zhimao again.
"Captain Ball, his subordinates are not very clear about the current situation, and they have not yet made up their minds, so I ask Master Ball to forgive me!" The fleet commander, who had just joined Bob, was clearly a well-known, old, and spicy character. He did not rush to express his opinion, but carefully maintained a neutral attitude.
"Sturm, tell me what you think!" Bob probably saw through the old fox's thoughts, but he didn't break it directly, but smiled faintly, and then turned back to ask Sturm.
After following Haoyi's triumphant return, Sturm was unusually promoted to the rank of lieutenant general by Bob, and served as deputy commander of the space fleet and commander of the second fleet (the commander of the first fleet is still Pei Zhimao himself). From a colonel commander of a small fleet, he was directly promoted to lieutenant general and deputy commander, and so promoted to three levels in a row, which can be described as an extremely honor.
However, Sturm knew in his heart that he was actually stained with Haoyi's light, and he was still under Bob's absolute trust in his brother Bertreme's subordinates. There is another reason, that is, Bob wants Sturm to become the liliang who checks and balances Pei Zhimao in the space fleet, so that the Tikru government can fully control the entire space fleet.
"Master Ball, his subordinates also agree with the opinion of the old General Pwell!" Hearing Bob call his name, Sturm hurriedly answered in fear: "However, my subordinates would like to add one more thing, that is, we must immediately start working on the action to rescue Miss Erin, preferably before the deadline given by Jeff, to be able to rescue Erin." In this way, our army will be able to launch an attack on Melsa without any scruples! ”
"Hey, why don't I want to rescue Erin right away!" After listening to Sturm's opinion, Bob sighed and said, "But the deadline given by Jeff is only 24 hours. Not to mention, we don't even know where Irene's is being held now, even if we can find a place where Irene's is being held. That damn Jeff will definitely send a heavy guard, too. From formulating Jihua to sending special forces to rescue, even if every link goes quite smoothly, in theory, time is never enough! ”
Bob's analysis made the atmosphere in the conference room, which had just come to life, solemn. It seems that this is a dead move made by Jeff to Bob and others. Either choose to declare submission to Jeff Shili, or you can only watch Erin being hurt by Jeff. For a while, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.
"Hit!" At this moment, Hao Yi, who had been staring at the star field map in a daze, suddenly burst out with the word "type", which immediately shocked everyone in the conference room.
Then, everyone saw Hao Yi slowly turn around, his pale yellow and thin face was a resolute look, and his small eyes were full of burning anger.
"There is no other room for negotiation, only to beat him up for a dog day!" Haoyi walked up to Bob, slammed his fist on the conference table, and shouted a word to the generals present through gritted teeth.
"But, Uncle, Miss Erin is still in Jeff's hands!" Haoyi's ruthless appearance frightened these battle-hardened generals, and their hearts jumped together. Sturm, who was once born and died on the SP02 Deposit Star with Haoyi, only dared to remind him cautiously.
"Nonsense, Lao Tzu knows!" Haoyi actually yelled at Sturm involuntarily, so frightened that the new lieutenant general shrunk his neck and didn't dare to squeak anymore. It was as if a young superior was unceremoniously reprimanding his subordinates.
It was at this moment that Haoyi's unconsciously exuded domineering spirit made the hearts of these old generals who were accustomed to wind and rain tremble slightly, and they all stared at the new aunt of the former prime minister of the republic with wide eyes.
"Haoyi, don't be impulsive, sit down and calm down first!" Bob on the side looked at Hao Yi's eyes, with both a little relief and a little helplessness, sighed and comforted Hao Yi softly: "I know, Erin fell into the hands of Jeff, you must be very anxious, but now is not the time to be rash!" You know, Jeff is a wolf who can sacrifice everything to achieve his goals. Once he is provoked, the consequences may be unimaginable! ”
"I said Lao Bao, how can you do your best to grow the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige!" Hao Yi tilted his nose when he heard this, and complained depressedly: "By the way, is there any smoke?" ”
"Uh, there's a cigar!" Bob was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously took out a delicate cigar case from his personal pocket.
"Pump one for Lao Tzu!" Haoyi's eyes lit up, and he unceremoniously reached out and snatched the cigar from Bob's hand, pulled out one, and then took out a small lighter in the iron box, and lit himself a cigarette with a chirp.
"Old Bao, let me ask you, when did Erin disappear?" In the midst of everyone's stunned, Haoyi actually spit out a long smoke ring in a decent manner, and asked Bob seriously.
"The specific time should be the night before yesterday!" Bob said with a frown.
"So it's been two or three days since Erin fell into Jeff's hands?" Hao Yi nodded, and continued: "In other words, before the space fleet came back, Jeff actually had the card of Erin in his hand a long time ago!" ”
"Well, that's right!" Haoyi's seemingly casual question suddenly made Bob seem to catch a glimmer of light in his darkness, but he couldn't be sure for a while: "What do you mean?" ”
"I see, what my uncle meant was that Jeff was actually scared, so he deliberately showdown with us and told us that Miss Erin was in his hands!" Sturm on the side suddenly realized. His words immediately reminded the generals present, and all the generals showed a sudden look on their faces.
"Hehe, it's worthy of being born and dying with Young Master Ben, Lao Si!" Haoyi grinned and praised Sturm, then changed his face, and said to everyone in a deep voice: "Generals, haven't you ever thought that Jeff's move is to attack and defend!" The reason why he was in a hurry to play Miss Erin's card was because he was afraid that we would immediately launch an onslaught on Melsa! ”
"Uncle, are you saying that our attack is still going on as usual?" Powell asked with a slight frown and a respectful tone. Haoyi, the new uncle's enlightening words, made Powell, a respected old general, couldn't help but feel a little admiration. Pwell still had a vague feeling in his heart that this new aunt seemed to be born an iron-blooded commander.
"That's right, it must be fought!" Haoyi's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said to the generals in a cold voice: "And only the more fierce our offensive is, the safer Miss Erin will be!" ”
