Seeing Jiang Ziyue's arrival, Wang Zeren, the consul of the New Roman Empire, stood up with a smile and said, "Jiang Gong, I heard that you not only slept with the 'female' officer on the planet Iserlon, but also brought a beautiful 'female' soldier to your home when you came back. 1(6) k small says αр.(1)(6)finishing"

"Your Excellency, please make no mistake. It's not like that. Jiang Ziyue awkwardly defended.

Wang Zeren didn't seem to intend to listen to Jiang Ziyue's defense, and after motioning for them to sit down, he put away his smiling face and said solemnly: "I don't care what the matter is. It just so happened that you left the army and had a new plan of attack, and you were up to the task. ”

"A new plan of attack?" Jiang Ziyue asked.

"Yes." Wang Zeren nodded and said, "It's actually a containment plan." ”

"It's a diversion plan again!" When Jiang Ziyue heard the word "containment", he became angry in his heart, "Your Excellency, taking the 'Yi' Star Domain Battle as a containment has caused us heavy losses. ”

Wang Zeren did not respond to Jiang Ziyue's accusatory words, and said bluntly: "Jiang Gong, this time we are ready to recapture the interstellar planet 'Yi'. If you wish, you will lead a fleet to pin down the enemy's main force and create an opportunity for us to reclaim the planet Yi. ”

"Your Excellency, may I have more details?" Jiang Ziyue pleaded.

Wang Zeren sat opposite them, then stared at Jiang Ziyue's eyes and said, "Give you a thousand warships to directly attack the enemy's capital and lure the enemy's main fleet away from the Aegis Star Domain." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Ziyue immediately showed a stunned look, and slowly asked, "A thousand?" Attack the planet Andromda? ”

"Exactly. It's just that you will not fight under the banner of the Roman people in the Senate, you will attack the enemy in the name of the Ingle's pirates. ”

Jiang Ziyue finally understood that the new diversion plan was to allow him to penetrate into the enemy territory in an dishonorable way, creating an opportunity for the frontal fleet to counterattack the "easy" planet. But he did not want to fight as a pirate who had already existed in name only, so he asked: "Your Excellency, why do you want to contain the enemy in the name of a pirate organization that has long since perished?" ”

"Our Provisional Ceasefire Treaty with the Federation remains in force. As long as our warships do not cross the 135th parallel, it is not considered a tearing up of the treaty. So this is the only way to do it. ”

Wang Zeren's words said that neither he nor the Senate dared to launch a direct attack on the Immortal Interstellar Federation openly, hoping to limit the war to the "Yi" star field outside the Immortal Spiral Arm. But he couldn't think of a better way to divert the tiger from the mountain, so he had to use this kind of bloody method to attack the west.

Let Jiang Ziyue lead the fleet to pretend to be the once rampant Ingle pirate and directly attack Andromeda, regardless of whether the purpose of the operation is achieved or not, it can give New Rome enough reason to deny the relationship with the impostor. Because interstellar piracy is a felony under the laws of New Rome, and even if it is exposed, Jiang Ziyue is a person who has already been expelled from the army, and both the Senate and the Imperial Army can prove that they have nothing to do with him, and can even abandon him and his fleet outright, in order to eliminate the excuse for the Federation Army, which has the overall superiority, to retaliate against the Imperial mainland.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ziyue was even more shocked. If you fight as a senate against the Roman people, you can at least be considered loyal to the country. But if you pretend to be an interstellar pirate of the past, you may well become a shameless person who is condemned by hundreds of millions of people. Jiang Ziyue, who was a standard professional soldier a month ago, found it difficult to accept this kind of task.

He said to Wang Zeren solemnly: "Your Excellency, Ziyue is not talented. But I still know honor and disgrace, and I will never be able to do such a shameful thing. ”

Wang Zeren seemed to have expected Jiang Ziyue to refuse, and asked in a calm tone: "Is this self-humility, or boasting?" ”

"Your Excellency, please be clear. Since the day he became an army, Ziyue has never commanded a thousand warships, and his experience and level are greatly insufficient, and he feels incompetent. The Senate and the people of Rome are like clouds, and for the sake of my new Rome, I also ask Your Excellency to choose another famous general. Besides, I had already been expelled from the army, and I was suddenly the commander of a thousand warships, and it was difficult to convince my subordinates. Jiang Ziyue couldn't resign.

"What if I have to make you this commander?" Wang Zeren asked.

Jiang Ziyue hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Excellency, please forgive me for being rude. I am no longer a soldier, and the oath I took when I enlisted in the army is no longer valid, and there is no need for absolute obedience to you and the Senate. As a member of the Senate and the Holy Glory of the Roman people, citizen Jiang Ziyue had the right to refuse the appointment of consuls and senates. ”

"I didn't expect you to leave the army, but you got up." Wang Zeren smiled bitterly.

At this time, Günter Fischer on the side said: "Your Excellency, fighting in the name of an interstellar pirate will inevitably cause the officers and soldiers who carry out the plan to lose the constraints of military discipline and become lawbreakers and criminals. Not only that, but if it is not properly named, it is not good, and it is likely to put the Senate and the Roman people in a favorable position. ”

"Fei Shiergong, I know that your Chinese skills are more solid than those of us Chinese, but please don't comment on the strategies of the soldiers in vain." Wang Zeren then turned to Jiang Ziyue and said, "Jiang Gong, if you accept this task, after the matter is completed, you will be re-recruited and promoted to the next rank, and your oak leaf gold Caesar medal will also be like me, plus a sword." ”

"It is precisely because I am wearing the Medal of Caesar, a golden medallion with oak leaves, that I cannot accept this dishonorable method of warfare." Jiang Ziyue replied in a firm tone, "Your Excellency, I am very grateful for the care and cultivation you have always given me. But this practice is seriously contrary to all the moral education and established tenets of life that I have received all my life, and I must make it clear to you that I am already a pure citizen, and I categorically do not accept such a task. ”

"This is for the benefit of the Senate and the people of Rome." Wang Zeren did not give up, and continued to persuade, "I know that the 'female' person you love deeply has also fallen into the hands of the federal army, and if you are me, you must make good use of this opportunity to take revenge." ”

Jiang Ziyue replied without hesitation: "Your Excellency, the officer who can command these thousand warships to go deep into the enemy's territory is not only me, Jiang Ziyue. It was not my duty to defend the interests of the Senate and the Roman people. ”

As for Wang Zeren using Chen Weiyin's matter to incite him, Jiang Ziyue did not respond. After all, Wang didn't understand Jiang's emotional changes at this time. And in Jiang's heart, Chen is not Helen of Troy, and he has absolutely no reason to start a war for her.

After listening to Jiang Ziyue's words, Wang Zeren looked at him and was silent for a while before he said, "Since this is the case, I am not in the trouble of being strong." Remember, today's conversation is top secret. ”

"I understand, Your Excellency."

"Then you can go." Wang Zeren looked disappointed.

"Thank you, Excellency, and goodbye." Jiang Ziyue stood up as he spoke, and after saluting, he strode away.

When Jiang Ziyue's figure disappeared into the gorgeous and wide 'door' porch, Otto Bateman said to Wang Zeren: "Your Excellency, I don't think this prince can give up. ”

Wang Zeren couldn't help laughing again, but asked Fischer: "Fischergong, if you were Jiang Gong, would you refuse this appointment so boldly?" ”

Without thinking, Fischel replied, "Your Excellency, the lowly will readily agree. ”

"Oh, then why did you oppose my plan in the first place?"

"The reason why the lowly has dared to oppose your plan is because the lowly is your chief staff and must make you hear different opinions and see the flaws and risks of the plan. But putting the humble position in Jiang Gong's position is a great opportunity. Why not return to the army, make new achievements, and create a brilliant military career? ”

"But Jiang Ziyue has already rejected this great opportunity for an illusory moral benchmark." Wang Zeren said coldly.

"Your Excellency, isn't that exactly what you want?" Otto Bateman asked rhetorically.

"Yes, I also want to refuse as solemnly as Jiang Ziyue." Wang Zeren sighed and said, "But I am the first senator of the Senate, the consul of the Roman people, and I have to wipe the ass of Grindel Rocchi and her self-righteous stupid asses!" ”

It is the first time that Wang Zeren has used such vulgar words to attack conservative elders. So much so that Fischl and Bateman couldn't help but look at each other.

"Coming back to this matter, you can also see that the pursuit of morality can sometimes become an obstacle." Wang Zeren said helplessly, "Fortunately, I have already notified other candidates in advance. But I'm still worried about the effect of painting a gourd. ”

After Jiang Ziyue left the consul's office, he walked straight to the big 'door' of the Privy Council.

He didn't expect the senate and the consuls to recall such a lack of morality, especially the consul Wang Zeren, who was still born in the army and wore a sword and oak leaf gold Caesar medal, it was impossible not to know the sense of honor of the soldiers. If it was in the name of the Imperial Army, even if he Jiang Ziyue was asked to attack the Immortal Federation alone, he would not hesitate to carry out the order. Of course, in the past, when he was still a soldier, he had no right to refuse. But now he is just an ordinary citizen with the right to refuse to accept any appointment.

When Jiang Ziyue walked out of the big 'gate', a colonel wearing a black 'color' military uniform also happened to come up and took the initiative to greet him.

"Colonel Whitehead, why are you here?" Jiang Ziyue asked in surprise.

Gus Whitehead took off his military hat, 'revealed' his full head of gray hair, and said with a smile: "The Imperial Archon summoned, how can he not come?" You didn't just leave his office. ”

Jiang Ziyue immediately understood Wang Zeren's purpose in summoning Gus, so he replied softly, "Yes." ”

"Oh, and how did he react to your affair?" Gus asked with interest.

"He reprimanded me, saying that my dismissal had insulted his trust and expectations of me, and that he regretted that he should not have given me the title in April." Jiang Ziyue had no choice but to lie to the other party.

"I'd love to see His Excellency the Archon angry." Gus said with a smug smile.
