Chapter 484: General Pross's helplessness
Chapter 484: General Pross's helplessness
Passage 314 is a remote waterway, this waterway is on the border of the Borgeti Clan, it is not a busy trade route, nor is it a strategic point, and the connected administrative stars are also the so-called "backcountry", so if there is no insect cháo, there is basically no large fleet here. The millennium of peace in the inner galaxy has made people accustomed to a comfortable life, and they have forgotten that the clan alliance is actually a kind of group, and it also has group interests.
Channel 314 KL-987 - From here to the east of the planar axis of the galaxy is the border of the Handington Alliance. There is also a vertex passage here, which is the Grid-4456 channel of the Huntington Clan. In the Handington League, the waterway named "Ge" also indicates that it is a remote waterway. However, this waterway is so close to the Borgeti League's 314 Passage that it feels like it can be connected.
But after all, it is not connected, and the reason for this is unknown. Now, at the KL-987 node of Channel 314, the 21st Fleet of the Borgeti League is facing each other in the air, and the armies of two different groups are facing each other from afar, both speculating about each other's intentions. Is peace coming to an end for the inner rim galaxy? Isn't it going to start here? No one knows what to do.
"Can't we leave?"
On the Titan-class flagship of the 507th Guards, the chief of staff of Cenarius, Xiǎo, asked in his heart.
"No, it's an order." General Pross replied, but with some helplessness. Orders from the top kept them here, and for no reason, which left him at a loss.
"If we stay here, it's easy to get off the rails. I would suggest we reach out to them. Or circumvent it a little. "Chief of Staff Cenarius is best at steady strategy, and in this regard, he is much better than the Deputy Chief of Staff, Sister Filier. His suggestion was absolutely correct.
General Pross shook his head: "Cenarius, this is also an order. ”
"But—"
The chief of staff of Cenarius hesitated for a moment and did not continue. And Sister Filier Xiǎo was blunt. She said without hesitation: "Why do I think the 21st Fleet of the Huntington Clan Alliance thinks the same way?" They received the same order. Misfire – maybe that's what some people want. ”
"Misfire......" General Pross muttered to himself. He is not a pedantic sour Confucian, nor is he a foolish martial artist. A person in his position must have the qualities of a politician. Therefore, his analysis of the current situation is more profound than his staff officers. He remembered what a friend had said to him a few months earlier – that peace presupposes a fair distribution of benefits and, above all, an irresistible force to keep it peaceful. If one of these two points is broken, the situation of peace will change.
There are some things that General Pross's friends don't say much, because they can't say it. However, the premise of the first peace has been broken, and butterfly yellow means profit, and butterfly yellow means money and strength. General Pross had always suspected that the real purpose of the 507 Guards' operation was to collect butterfly yellow, and that saving humanity was just a by-product. This is probably something that only Co-Chair Murphylin knows best. At the top of the League, Co-Chairman Murphylin was more powerful and powerful than General Pross himself. General Prows is really just an executor.
Now, General Prows suspected another thing, starting with the 507 Guards' stay at the VG-451714 node, Co-Chairman Murphylin seemed to be trying to stall for time. Linked to the current confrontation with the 21st Fleet of the Huntington Alliance, his purpose seems to be this. If we extrapolate from this, the second premise of peace also tends to be broken. This was a guess that did not dare to be assumed, and General Pross had a feeling of powerlessness. Assuming that the war starts here, then he and the 507 Guards will become sinners for the ages, and they cannot get rid of the crime of provoking the war. However, the consequences of disobedience were to be fulfilled immediately, and even if General Pross refused to do so for the sake of his own soldiers, someone else would do the same for him, and his 507 Guards seemed to be unable to escape this war crime.
"What should I do?" A question came to General Pross.
"What should I do?" Sister Filier Xiǎo was a little anxious, and she asked, "General, if you want to do something, please tell me." We don't have time to guess. ”
"Guess?" General Pross tilted his head, and the silver star on the collar badge sparkled, "Guess what I'll do?" ”
"I don't know, General, I don't want to guess."
"Nope! Your location is too sensitive to guess. Co-chair Murphylin is better than you think, but, I hope others can guess. ”
"Someone else? General, you mean—" Sister Filier Xiǎo frowned, General Pross was very abnormal, he didn't look like he was joking, and besides, General Pros was not a person who liked to joke.
"Got a coin?" General Pross asked an irrelevant question, but Sister Philip quickly understood.
"Yes, it's the same one you used last time." Sister Filil Xiǎo pulled out a coin.
"Oh good, I didn't actually see it clearly last time, but I don't think it should be all heads. Philille, only you can see what it is, but that's what I think too. General Pross smiled, took the coin, and put it in his arms.
"General-" Sister Filir's face flushed slightly, and then she immediately regained her composure, she pulled back her long hair in front of her forehead, and said solemnly: "It's very risky, but I don't think it's a way, it's a way to be out of the question." I'll do it for me. ”
"Okay, let's give it a try."
General Pross waved his hand, and Sister Filier walked out of the city quickly, while the chief of staff of Cenarius next to him didn't know what to do, and looked at General Pross blankly. General Pross smiled back and said kindly, "Cenarius, you'd better pretend not to see it, and don't guess." Prudently, you won't agree to this approach. We're going to play a game, a guessing game. I'm out to see who can guess the answer. ”
"Well, General. I actually guessed it, and I did object to it. But – maybe that's really a no-brainer. That guy was just too hard to deal with. Chief of Staff Cenarius shook his head, turned and walked out......
In the afternoon of the second day after General Pross finished talking with his staff. On the video of the non-commissioned officer cafeteria of the 12th Mecha Brigade of the aircraft carrier "Fruit", an inspiring battle story is being staged, this is a classic old film, a good director and a good editor, and a few actors who were not big names at that time, making the story ups and downs and intriguing.
"Oh! Come with me, go around that mountain pass, and even if we are going to die, we will die there!! ”
"Watch the sky—"
"Sergeant, sergeant!!"
"Go, I can't do it, go ......"
Aizalo tapped on the plate, reciting lines loudly, his voice overshadowing the film's soundtrack. But people here don't care, this kind of movie, everyone has watched it a few times, and the picture is hilarious. Moreover, Aizalo's lines are recited with great accuracy, not only is not a word bad, but even the tone is imitated vividly.
"It's my own decision, it's none of everyone's business, all the responsibility is mine."
"But, second lieutenant, we can't afford to gamble! The situation is too uncertain. ”
"Nope! We have to bet!! ”
This line is very bloody, a handsome captain has to make a decision, an order that violates military regulations, and in the later episode of the movie, this decision is wise and martial, and everyone is out of danger.
Aizalo's voice was high and hot enough, he was almost roaring. However, when he finished shouting this, something happened. Suddenly, something went wrong with the playback of the movie, and the line got stuck and turned over again. Azzalo paused for a moment, and roared again:
"It's my own decision, it's none of everyone's business, all the responsibility is mine."
"But, second lieutenant, we can't afford to gamble! The situation is too uncertain. ”
"Nope! We have to bet!! ”
After Aizalo finished roaring, there was a burst of laughter in the non-commissioned officer cafeteria. Then, something even more funny happened, and the movie was replayed on cassette again, which made the red-faced and thick-necked Azzalo dumbfounded, and in the midst of even more arrogant laughter, Aizalo cursed with foul language. The atmosphere in the non-commissioned officer's cafeteria was also lively.
Nax sat next to Chu Ming, he was a little surprised by Chu Ming's expression, so he asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Nothing."
"Isn't it funny?"
"It's funny, I've laughed already."
"What do you mean?"
"I remember playing this movie in the morning, and this place seems to be stuck, isn't it?" Chu Ming asked rhetorically.
"It seems like yes. The people in the logistics department are so irresponsible. ”
"Oh-" Chu Ming replied, stopped talking, and his brows gradually furrowed.
Nax did not leave, but stared at Chu Ming, and Chu Ming has been with him for a while, Nax knows something about Chu Ming, Chu Ming sometimes falls into a state of thinking for a long time, his state generally indicates an important decision, and this is how the title of "Fearless" Company of the 52nd Mecha Company came about. The "combat bravery" in the evaluation refers to the officers and soldiers of the 52nd Mecha Company, and the "accurate judgment" - only Nax knows how to say, this evaluation should have been given to Chu Ming.
For about half an hour, the non-commissioned officer's cafeteria was a little calmer, and Aizalo was tired of tossing, and he also ran to Chu Ming's side, talking to Dominia about something inconsequential. However, in fact, Dominia and Aizalo were both paying attention to Chu Ming, and Nax's expression made them know that something was wrong.
"Alright." Chu Ming recovered from the long exam, he knocked on a part of his body, which was part of the life-sustaining equipment, Chu Ming's current physical condition was too bad to bear the energy consumption of the long exam, so he had to use some equipment. The only thing that relieved Chu Ming was that he hadn't lost his wisdom yet. Moreover, Chu Ming also tried to look at things with ordinary people and ordinary hearts, which made him feel a sense of intimacy that he had not felt for a long time.
And Chu Ming is also in a very good mood now, because he actually didn't consume too much body energy. This comes from a special way of thinking - "graffiti thinking". "Doodle thinking" is the way of thinking of people in a special profession, and such people are called "thinkers". Chu Ming suddenly remembered Lu Cha, that xiǎo brother didn't know what happened to Lu Dao in a distant place, Chu Ming thought, and his heart was filled with warmth.
