Federation Fleet, 65 Star Sector Campaign Headquarters, Conference Room.

He Xianzhong, Huang Yuanji and others sat around the conference table, each general holding a document in his hand.

It was a copy of the protest letter sent by the 65th Star District, the words were fierce and sharp, and every word was full of resentment and anger. The signatures attached to the back are even denser, and there are basically all the senior officials and fleet commanders in the 65th Star Sector.

Since the beginning of the war, the command has received numerous letters of protest.

There are planets in the 65th Sector and even the Governor's Office, as well as anti-war groups within the Federation.

Whether it was He Xianzhong or the other generals, they were all dismissive of those things. When you're in a good mood, take it out and take a look, and it's a spice. When you're in a bad mood or busy, it's an eyesore to throw on the table.

But this time was different.

The generals attached great importance to it and even convened a meeting to study it.

It's just that the meeting started for a long time, and no one spoke.

It's not that I don't want to say it, but I don't know how to say it.

"Commander-in-chief, are you telling everyone......

In the end, it was Huang Yuanji who broke the silence.

Huang Yuanji is the supreme commander of the 66th Star Region and the deputy commander-in-chief of this campaign. This meeting was proposed by him. It was cold at the beginning, and he had to do something.

"What do I have to say?" He Xianzhong said lightly: "The meeting was proposed by you, Li Mu is your subordinate, and you will say it." ”

"Commander-in-chief, we have to be reasonable. Huang Yuanji said angrily: "You let the independent fleet be established at the beginning, and the people are also what you want to go over." You can't just blame me if something goes wrong now. Besides, Li Mu can't be regarded as my person, he is under Minister Xia. ”

Xia Shidong coughed on the side. "Deputy Commander-in-Chief, you're a little too much......"

"What's wrong? Aren't you the head of the Equipment Training Department?" Huang Yuanji said with a conclusive voice: "Li Mu is a cadet of the military training camp, of course he is your soldier. And don't think I don't know, you guys have a good personal relationship. ”

"First of all, I don't have a personal relationship with that bastard. Secondly, even if he is my soldier, he has nothing to do with me. Xia Shidong said angrily:

"Since that kid entered the war zone, he has already belonged to the combat unit sequence. I'm in charge of logistics, and I can't command him even if I want to. Besides, when I was able to command before, I didn't see him listen to me properly. ”

Huang Yuanji and Xia Shidong are old friends, although the two are nominally superiors and subordinates, they speak relatively casually.

"You're right. Huang Yuanji nodded: "Now Li Mu belongs to the combat unit sequence, and he is the fleet commander directly under the commander-in-chief of the independent fleet. Therefore, Li Mu's affairs still have to be handled by the commander-in-chief. ”

"I didn't say that. Xia Shidong hurriedly argued: "Even if the commander-in-chief is responsible, that's what you said......"

"Enough for the two of you. He Xianzhong glared and said: "Am I a fool when I sing a harmony here?"

Huang Yuanji and Xia Shidong smiled and stopped talking.

In today's meeting, there is also the reason why the two of them sang double reeds, the main purpose is to ask He Xianzhong for an explanation.

At the beginning, about Liu Shanwei's three little wives, Li Mu undoubtedly acted privately. But this time, everyone was a little unsure.

The independent fleet was directly managed by He Xianzhong, and the campaign command had no right to intervene at all. Especially in the recent period, He Xianzhong is obviously plotting something, and he has changed the battle plan for this purpose.

Although it is not explicitly stated, all the adjustments and arrangements are obviously in line with something.

Because of this mysterious operation, the generals have long had opinions. It's just that between He Xianzhong's strength, no one dares to say anything.

But now, when such a big incident suddenly happened, the generals certainly could not remain silent.

"Let's just say it, what do you want to know?" He Xianzhong asked.

The generals looked at each other, but Huang Yuanji spoke: "Commander-in-chief, is the independent fleet on some secret mission?"

"Yes. He Xianzhong nodded.

"Is the adjustment of the battle plan related to their mission?" Huang Yuanji asked again.

"Yes. He Xianzhong nodded again.

"What is the specific task?" Huang Yuanji asked again.

"Can't say. He Xianzhong shook his head this time.

"Commander-in-chief. Huang Yuanji's expression became a little serious: "You are assigned by the headquarters, and we will not interfere with your decision." However, as the deputy commander-in-chief of the campaign, the minimum right to know should always be there. ”

"That's not an overstatement. He Xianzhong was very reasonable: "It's just that I don't agree." ”

"......" Huang Yuanji's heart was stopped.

"You can lodge a complaint with the Ministry. Facing the resentful Commander Huang, Commander-in-Chief He's expression was as usual: "But even if it is ordered by the headquarters, I will not disclose the content of this mission." Unless they remove me and replace me with a new commander-in-chief. ”

Huang Yuanji just wanted to slap the table, and the generals were even more angry, but more helpless.

Since the establishment of the 65th Star Sector Campaign Command, this has almost been He Xianzhong's mantra.

There is a lot of hob meat, and it is not impossible to treat it. But the dignified two-star general is a scoundrel, and these people are really useless.

"Even if you don't talk about the specific content of the task, then you can always give an explanation of this matter. Huang Yuanji retreated: "The kidnapping of the wife of Ding Zhaohui, the governor of the 65th Star District, is not part of the mission. ”

"I'm sorry, but I can't say that. Because as long as you say it, it is equivalent to answering the question you just asked. He Xianzhong said: "But I can make a statement, no matter what the Independent Fleet does in the 65th Star Zone, all the consequences will be borne by me." ”

"There are consequences that you just can't afford. Xia Shidong also couldn't help it a little, and said: "No matter what the content of your 'secret operation' is, this kind of kidnapping must not appear again." Because this kind of action is not exclusive to us, the enemy can also retaliate by taking the same action. ”

"What Minister Xia said is very much, I hope the commander-in-chief will think twice. ”

"Now the enemy is no longer able to fight back, but that doesn't mean they can't make some small moves. ”

"If they send a team of agents to invade Sector 66, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"Not only your 66-star sector, but also our 64-star sector. ”

"Actually, I'm not worried about now, but once they are defeated. You must know that the lost dog is the most unscrupulous ......"

Led by Huang Yuanji and Xia Shidong, the generals began to speak one after another.

He Xianzhong secretly sneered.

Speaking of which, the true thoughts of these people can be regarded as exposed.

In the battle to encircle and suppress the 65th star sector, the generals of the major star regions really did their best, and no one was wrong.

However, the starting point of these people, saying a thousand things and ten thousand, is all for profit.

Fight in battles to accumulate military merits, promote ranks, and win the respective benefits of the 65-star sector...... And so on and so forth.

There are too many conflicts of interest in it, otherwise they would not be so dedicated.

The reason why he was able to speak at the command was that his strong style was certainly one of the reasons, and the main reason for defeating him was that other people didn't care about these formal things.

As long as this battle can be won, they don't care what method He Xianzhong uses.

The Federation used him, a two-star general, with some shady intentions, which everyone knew well.

Whether it is the independent fleet or Li Mu's behavior, no one will really care.

But when it affects them, it's different.

Just like now, the generals are not concerned with moral issues, but about whether they will be implicated. All of them dragged their families with their mouths, and they were all afraid of causing trouble to themselves.

In fact, this kind of thinking is human nature, but in He Xianzhong's values, it is very unsightly.

"The future of the federation still depends on young people like Li Mu after all......"

He Xianzhong listened to the generals' complaints, but he was thinking about other things in his heart.

Whether he is a general, or a general, they are all objects that should be eliminated.

Li Mu's kind of outstanding young man represents the future of the Federation.

The more reasonable the generals said, the more He Xianzhong felt that Li Mu was more in line with his heart.

Even the kidnapping of Ding Zhaohui's wife itself, He Xianzhong tasted another layer of deep meaning.

It is no secret that the independent fleet operates in the 65 star sector. Especially after the adjustment of the battle plan, everyone can guess the connection between the two. Moreover, He Xianzhong never thought that the campaign headquarters was a place where secrets could be kept.

The kidnapping incident of the governor's wife was deliberately done by Li Mu to cover up his true actions.

This incident is of a bad nature, and it is likely to increase Li Mu's culpability afterwards. However, this amazing young man still did not hesitate.

If the Federation had more such talents, how could it be as corrupt as it is today.

He Xianzhong felt that in addition to helping Li Mu take the blame, he had to do more things.

"Are you making a mistake? He Xianzhong interrupted the worried generals: "This kind of thing is not our beginning, the enemy has already done it in front." Li Mu's actions can only be regarded as a tooth for a tooth. ”

The generals looked at each other.

There are also kidnappings on the 65th Star Sector side?

Facing everyone's doubts, He Xianzhong sneered twice.

"Have you all forgotten?" He Xianzhong said, "Li Mu's mother, the wife of Li Xuantong, the third consul of the 66th Star District, Ms. Qin Hongyu, was kidnapped not long ago?"

"Huh?"

The generals were stunned, and Huang Yuanji and Xia Shidong looked at each other.

Of course, they knew about this matter, and the person who could kidnap them was not the 65th Star District, but Ren Jizhong, the administrator of Proxima Centauri.

Although it is a treacherous deed, standing in their position, many things are tacit.

Obviously, it was Ren Jizhong's doing, why did Commander-in-Chief He have to settle in the 65-star area......

Wait a minute!

The generals' thoughts raced, and suddenly they all thought of a point.

Commander-in-Chief He, do you want to ......

After everyone reacted, their eyes involuntarily turned to one person.

There was playfulness in his eyes, a little sympathy, and a little schadenfreude.
