"Dogs don't eat!" In the alternate base of the government of Tikru, in a small communication room, Bob's loud shout shook the eardrums of everyone next to him.

A few minutes earlier, Bob had been deliberating with his three generals about how to deal with Jeff Shili's next possible big attack. Guo Ling, who came in in a hurry, brought a Zuihou ultimatum that he suddenly received and sent by Jeff.

The ultimatum demanded that Captain Bob and his government on the planet Tikloo, along with the three Wehrmacht Close Operations Army groups stationed on the planet, collectively declare allegiance to the new government headed by Jeff within 24 hours. Otherwise, in the case of Tico, Jeff's space fleet will wipe out every city on Tikru.

Bob, who had always been short-tempered and hated others for intimidating him at every turn, became furious when he saw this ultimatum that hardly took him seriously, and almost smashed the receiver with a single punch.

In this secret room, in addition to Bob and his personal adjutant Guo Ling, Haoyi was also fortunate to be invited by Bob to participate in this secret business. According to Bob's meaning, after marrying Erin, Haoyi can be regarded as a member of their Teutonic family, and he is fully qualified to participate in secret meetings of this level. This explanation somewhat made Haoyi cry and laugh, and he always felt as if he had been "sold". And because of the Teutonic family's habit of not allowing their daughters to participate in major events, Haoyi's new wife Erin was naturally "coaxed" back to the new house by Bob.

On a huge holographic three-dimensional wall in the communication room, the half-length images of the supreme commanders of the three Wehrmacht Army Group Groups, Owen, Pwell, and Dowton, are displayed at this moment. Of course, the three generals also saw the ultimatum sent by Jeff. It's just that, looking at Bob, who was furious like an angry hero, the generals and Guo Linghaoyi both closed their mouths knowingly, quietly waiting for Bob to finish venting.

Surprisingly, however, this time Bob did not continue to scold as usual, but miraculously gasped for breath and slowly calmed down.

"General Owen, what do you think of Jeff's ultimatum?" Bob raised his bearded face and asked in a deep voice to the commander of the Sixth Army, Admiral Owen. Because he didn't sleep all night last night, and during the day, he personally inspected Tico City under the threat of the aftermath of nuclear radiation, and Bob's bull's eyes were now covered with red bloodshots.

"Master Ball, according to the opinion of the lower officials, Jeff's ultimatum is quite unsounding. The lower officials speculated that they were intended to force us to negotiate with them. While we don't know exactly what Jeff's true intentions were, at least one thing is certain. That is, behind this seemingly aggressive ultimatum, Jeff seems to have left us with a certain amount of room to maneuver. "Of the three Army Group commanders, Dorton had just been promoted directly by the planetary government, and Powell was about the same age as Owen, but not as much as Owen in terms of seniority in the military. Therefore, as soon as Bob opened his mouth, he pointed to Owen, just to hear the opinion of the veteran general.

"What do you mean, that guy who is not as good as a brute, wants us to take the initiative to come to the door and negotiate with him?" Bob was obviously a little surprised by Owen's judgment, narrowed his bulls' eyes and asked coldly.

"Xiaguan said, this is just my guess, Master Ball!" Seeing that Bob was not good, the old and spicy Owen hurriedly spread his hands and explained: "Of course, if you have a more hode method for the ball, the lower officials will naturally be willing to listen!" ”

"Powell, Dowton, you two talk about it too!" Bob waved his hand to interrupt Owen's unfinished words, turned his head and asked the other two generals, "General Powell, you speak first!" ”

"The opinions of the lower officers are largely the same as those of General Owen." Pwell first confirmed his position, and then frowned and analyzed in a deep voice: "After seeing Jeff's ultimatum, the strange tactical intentions of the two battlecruisers that suddenly appeared last night became obvious. There is no doubt that Jeff is trying to tell us that he can turn any city on the planet Tikru into ruins in an instant whenever he wants. ”

After a slight pause, Powell glanced at Bob and the other two colleagues with solemn faces, and said with a light sigh: "Right now, the six battlecruisers that are the main force of our poor little fleet have become a pile of space scrap metal, and they can't play a role at all. The total number of anti-rail guns deployed around the world does not exceed 50, and many of them are almost difficult to effectively protect neighboring cities because of their firing angles. On the premise that Jeff Shili has one or two hundred battle cruisers, in the predictable big war, our side does not have the slightest strategic initiative at all, and can only passively ......"

"Stop, stop!" Powell's tirade made the grumpy Bob a little big-headed. The captain of the Tikru planet waved his hand impatiently to interrupt Pwell's so-called analysis, and said, "Old Pu, just tell me what we should do now!" ”

"There are only two suggestions from the lower officials!" Pwell groaned for a moment and said briefly: "First, according to General Owen's advice, immediately send someone to contact Jeff on his own initiative to convey our 'wish' to negotiate with him, so as to delay as much time as possible. Second, send a secret envoy to seek help from Shili in other nearby star regions. As long as we can find any side that is strong enough to stand up to Jeff's space fleet, then our three close combat army groups will be confident enough to hold the land of Tikru. And only after holding the planet Tikru firmly can we have the opportunity to have time to accumulate Liliang, build a space fleet of our own, and finally achieve the goal of eliminating Jeff's rebellion Shili. ”

"Other star sector shili?" Hearing Puwell's seemingly novel proposal, Bob was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and denied: "Old Pu, this second suggestion of yours is a bit whimsical!" If my brother is here, with the seniority and prestige he has accumulated over the years, he may be able to bring in a few shili who have been with us in the past, and send a fleet to help us fight Jeff.

But now that my brother has passed away, and I haven't been involved in diplomacy for many years, it is almost impossible to gain the trust and help of Shili in other sectors in such a short period of time. And one more thing, right now is the moment of the great melee in the colonial star sector. The shili of the other star districts are either trying their best to consolidate their shili, or they are busy preparing to deal with the Federation's counterinsurgency expeditionary force, and no one has the extra energy to take care of the "family affairs" of our star sector! Even if there were, I'm afraid it's some shili who have some intentions for our star sector. These shili must wish that we and Jeff would fight to defeat each other, and then they will be able to take advantage of the fisherman's profit and swallow up our St. Proli's Star District in one fell swoop! ”

"Well, this point, Xia Guan didn't expect it!" Hearing Bob's next few words of analysis, Powell was actually frightened into a cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "It's still the ball grown-up and wise!" ”

"Alright, stop slapping!" Bob scolded him with some displeasure, and then continued to ask, "General Dorton, what do you have good suggestions?" ”

"Captain Qiu, the lower officials are not as thorough as the two old generals of Owen." Dalton listened to it for a long time, probably not able to come up with any good solutions, frowned and shook his head and said, "I only know one thing, and that is that we can't show weakness in front of Jeff's ultimatum. Otherwise, Jeff will have to make even more demanding demands. In that case, we're all going to be dead under Jeff's knife when we get to Zuihou. ”

"Talking is equal to saying nothing!" Listening to Doughton's rather empty words, Bob waved his hand in frustration and muttered.

"Captain Qiu, the lower official suggested that according to the original Jihua, order all troops to assemble as soon as possible, and enter various places to build haode positions in advance, ready to meet the enemy's landing force at any time!" Old Owen interjected at this time, and Zhengse said: "Whether we decide to negotiate with Jeff or not, we can't expect Jeff to easily let go of us old guys with heavy military power!" Even if Jeff is ready to reduce all the cities on Tikru to ruins, we must be prepared to fight to the death. Even for the sake of our newborn Republic of St. Prolley, for the sake of Prime Minister Lord Bertreme, and for the innocent civilians who died unjustly under the guns of Jeff, as soldiers of the Republic, it is our duty to fight to the end! ”

"Hey, hey, guys, is the matter as serious as you think?" Listening to Old Owen's rather "tragic" words, Haoyi finally couldn't help but speak up. Originally, it was good for a "new aunt" like him to be invited by Bob to participate in a secret meeting of this level, and Bob didn't expect this hairy boy-like niece and son-in-law to come up with any useful suggestions, but he had a vague idea of letting Hao Yi replace his old father-in-law to "talk about political affairs".

"You stinky boy, isn't that serious enough? Everyone has bombarded our lair, so what do you say? Cats are waiting to die here, huh? Sure enough, when Bob heard this, he turned his head and glared at Haoyi.

"No, listen to me first!" Hao Yi was a little anxious for Bob, and said with a dance: "I listen to what you mean, isn't that Jeff just relying on a few broken battleships in his hands?" Let's get all those warships, and everything will be solved? ”

"Young man, you're right, that's nearly two hundred large battlecruisers, how do you get it? This isn't a game! Haoyi's words made Owen and the others stunned at first, and then old Owen asked with a smile. Obviously, this old guy took Haoyi's suggestion as a joke about young people who "don't know the sky". As soon as the words landed, even Bob and the others laughed.

"I said, can you be serious, brothers! I'm getting down to business! Hao Yi suddenly complained with black lines, and then talked about his Jihua quite seriously: "Aren't there any remote control modules in those warships?" Let's steal the control code, won't we be able to make those ships under Jeff lie down en masse? Of course, first we had to send someone to try to get to the Space Fleet headquarters. I've thought about it, a few of you guys are in charge of pretending to negotiate with Jeff's shitty day and stalling for time. Then, let's send a message to the Space Fleet with the six battleships in our hands, falsely claiming that the battlefield is revolting and that we are going to return to the formation. In this way, our people will be able to enter the fleet headquarters without any problems. Next, it's a question of how to try to steal the code and the launcher. It's a little difficult, but I think it's much more useful than a few guys grinding their mouths here, don't you say? ”

After a seemingly whimsical but actually quite organized remark, Bob and the others who said it were all stunned and opened their old mouths wide, and suddenly turned into stone people......
