Chapter 391: The People's Hearts Are Turned Back
"A bunch of trash!"
There was an angry roar from inside the thick gate, and the ceiling above his head shook, and dust fell from the lampshade and fell into the coffee cup in front of Boss Liu.
He stood up nervously, twisted his fingers and looked towards the door, Xie Maohua was suffering the monstrous anger of the goddess of thorns inside, although Boss Liu didn't go in, how could this anger not burn him?
"The coalition government brought two fleets and beat you so hard that you didn't even dare to show your face? This is the battle you swore to me that you would win?!"
In the morning, the time for attacking Takuser had just been agreed, and after luncheon, Boss Liu accompanied Xie Maohua to a trip to the Thorn Goddess Energy Tower, and informed the goddess of the upcoming expedition to Takexing, for Xie Maohua's decision, the goddess was very appreciative, and even praised Xie Maohua for the first time, so that Xie Maohua never let go of the corners of his mouth on the way back.
But only a few hours have passed, reality has slapped him in the face, the Wright Star ground forces are almost pressed to the ground by the coalition government's fleet, and the so-called "noble and fast soldiers" they emphasized at the meeting are perfectly in line with the coalition government's operational policy, and by the time Xie Maohua and his 12 Wisdom Brain Regiment woke up from the luxurious bed in the underground fortress, the battle was almost settled.
The Goddess's anger almost overturned the entire underground fortress, and it rarely showed its true body outside the energy supply tower, but this time it appeared directly in the underground fortress through the signal connection, and as the proposer of the "transfer war", Xie Maohua had to bear the goddess's rebuke alone in the room.
"Could it be that the Lighthouse Government only has one West River military base to use?! This is the lighthouse government controlled by your Twelve Brains? At the moment of the big war, we can't even call for reinforcements?!"
There was no one else in the room, Xie Maohua knelt in front of the virtual projection, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the screen, but there was only a ball of light on the actual screen, and what the goddess of thorns looked like was actually none of the twelve wisdom brains who had ever seen it.
"Reinforcements are already on the way, they should arrive soon, and when they do, the rebels in the coalition government will not be enough!"
Xie Maohua wanted to explain, but was ruthlessly refuted by Muse: "Dead ducks have a hard mouth! Your soldiers have surrendered! Shu Yungui and they took the administrative capital almost without a single soldier, and your soldiers were still crying and shouting and sticking them on people! That's how you usually train your troops?!"
It's just a disaster, Xie Maohua is only the president of the business association, where does he usually care about how the army is training? And even if the Twelve Wisdom Brain Regiment really interfered in the military drill before, it was also managed by Sitamons Feng when he was alive, Xie Maohua had not been officially recognized by the Muse, and his power and status in the Twelve Wisdom Brain Regiment were naturally inferior to Sitamons Feng.
"Army...... Those people in the army are greedy for life and afraid of death, don't do it, we will have combat strength when reinforcements come!"
Xie Maohua didn't know how to command a war, and naturally he didn't understand the truth that other people's soldiers would only be more demoralized than his own people if they put them in his own hands, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the muse sneered.
"Do you think those reinforcements are really going to fight for your Wright's life? The existence of Wright Star will not affect their lives, they can surrender without a fight, and they can not only preserve their combat power but also keep the town buildings, what harm can it do to them if they defect to the coalition government?"
Xie Maohua was dumbfounded, he sat down on the ground in a daze, his eyes kept flashing, even though he was calling for wind and rain in the business world, he could be called a business wizard, but he was like a mountain, and he really couldn't think of a way to solve the current dilemma in terms of dispatching troops and military strategy.
People can't sit still, Shu Yungui and they occupy the ground, and it is only a matter of time before they break through the underground fortress, or it is just a matter of whether Shu Yungui wants to or not.
"Goddess...... Goddess, give us a little guidance! The main body of the energy supply tower is on Wright, and you don't want people from the coalition government to enter the energy supply tower, do you?!"
The muse snorted and said indifferently, "The energy supply tower is just a carrier, am I still afraid of a few mutants from them? It's you, the Twelve Wisdom Brain Regiment's deeds over the years, the coalition government is clear, if they really become the masters of this star field,
Do you think what you have done is worth it for them to renew the death penalty for you?"
Xie Maohua's face turned white, his pale lips trembled, and his forehead slammed to the ground and pleaded, "Goddess! Goddess, don't give up on us! I'll do whatever you say! As long as we can eliminate the coalition government, we will definitely redouble our efforts to serve you in the future! Save us!"
The light clusters in the virtual screen are constantly emitting thousands of distorted rays of light outward, like spider webs, and Xie Maohua and the Twelve Wisdom Brain Group are already the prey of this spider web, they can only choose to coexist, once they try to break away, they will be decomposed and devoured until they completely disappear from this world.
"Stupid thing, do you want me to warn you too?! There are no soldiers on the ground, aren't there still so many people underground?! How long are you going to raise these civilians?! It's time for them to do something about their home planet!"
Xie Maohua suddenly raised his head and said with a shocked face, "Civilians?! But the civilians have no military training at all, they can't even shoot guns, let alone fly mechs and warships, and if they are asked to confront the soldiers of the coalition government, will they die in vain?"
"When did the Twelve Brains start caring about the lives and deaths of civilians?" The muse asked rhetorically, choking Xie Maohua speechless.
"It is to let civilians go to the battlefield in order to deter the coalition government, Shu Yungui They care most about the life and death of civilians, as long as those people are on the battlefield, the soldiers of the coalition government will not dare to fire at will, and when the reinforcements arrive, they will not be able to fight with all their might, and it will be easier to eliminate them."
Xie Maohua was shocked in his heart, although he never thought he was a good person, but he never thought of letting civilians go to the battlefield, and now after listening to the words of the muse, he felt how terrifying the artificial intelligence in front of him was.
But also, the muse is just an artificial intelligence, how can it be expected to have human feelings and conscience?
"I...... I'm going to talk to the Star Wars Commander......
Xie Maohua didn't dare to stay in the room for a long time, he stumbled out, closed the thick door tightly, and saw Boss Liu coming up to ask questions, so he quickly covered his mouth, and took the person away before he dared to let go, panting heavily, while looking back, for fear that the muse would be watching them around the corner.
"What's going on?" Boss Liu didn't hear what was said inside the door, he held Xie Maohua and asked, "What did the goddess say?" President Xie, you look very bad."
Xie Maohua lit a cigarette with trembling fingers, the strong nicotine rushed into his lungs, he took several puffs before he whispered to Boss Liu with a white face: "The goddess asks us to send civilians to the battlefield, so as to delay the pace of the coalition government and wait for reinforcements to arrive."
"What?!"
Boss Liu realized that his voice was too loud, so he quickly covered his mouth and slowed down for a few seconds before saying, "You want to let civilians go to the battlefield?!" Wright Star is the administrative star that has been most affected by malignant inducers, and the number of civilians is already scarce, so what effect can it do if all the civilians in the underground fortress are sent up? A few rounds of strafing by the coalition government can kill a single civilian!"
Although they are all merchants, they also know that commerce depends on people to develop, and if all the civilians on the administrative planet are dead, who will they sell their things to? Who will work for them? Who will boost domestic demand? Even if none of this is taken into account, then after all the civilians are dead or all defect, who else can protect the Twelve Wisdom Brains? You can't rely on a muse, can you?
"You won't...... Did you agree to the Goddess's request?"
Boss Liu was frightened, and the businessman's vision was always longer-term, so he hurriedly persuaded: "No, have you ever thought that if the civilians didn't stop the coalition government, then who would be on the battlefield next? Officials of the Lighthouse government? Or are we on our own?"
"Why haven't I thought about this?!"
Xie Maohua asked, "But the goddess has already spoken, what else can we do but do it? We can buy a little more time to transfer assets if we don't do what it says, and we're going to die now!"
He pushed Boss Liu away, threw away the cigarette butt and walked forward, preparing to inform Zhai Cheng to gather the civilians
, Boss Liu saw that he really planned to do this, so he rushed up to stop him in three steps and two steps, and said urgently, "Transfer assets? Where else can we go? There are two regimes in the Hope Field, and if the Lighthouse government wins, and the goddess finds out that you are transferring assets, do you know what will happen to you?!"
Xie Maohua's footsteps stopped, they were now like ducks on a fire, no matter how they turned over, they couldn't escape the burning flames.
"If the coalition government wins, your assets can only be to make wedding dresses for others, we have done so many things for the goddess, once the coalition government is made public, the saliva of civilians alone can drown us!"
Xie Maohua's head was a mess, and he asked in a broken heart, "Then what do you say?!" If we don't send civilians to battle, the goddess or the coalition government will let us go after the war?!"
Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they have to fly separately when disaster comes, not to mention that there is a deformed cooperative relationship between the Twelve Wisdom Brain Group and the Muse, which is threatening and oppressive, and the Twelve Wisdom Brain Group does get some benefits from the Muse, but it is up to everyone to decide which of these benefits is more important than their lives.
"Maybe we have another way."
Boss Liu opened his usual smiling eyes, those amber pupils stared into Xie Maohua's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Cooperate with the coalition government to help them defeat the muses, such a great feat, even if they don't give us preferential treatment, it won't cost us our lives."
"What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Xie Maohua's eyes widened, but he soon realized that this was not nonsense, and that this was indeed the only way to protect themselves in the current situation.
The victory of the coalition government seems to be the general trend, although the muse is deeply rooted in this star field, but no one knows where it is powerful, except that it knows that it will kill people and suppress capital, it does not know what other capabilities it has, compared with the invisible threat brought by the muse, the coalition government's muzzle in front of it seems to be more terrifying.
And Boss Liu is right, population is the cornerstone of supporting business, once you listen to the words of the muse and push all civilians to the battlefield, even if you can win in the end, the prestige of the lighthouse government in the hearts of the people has disappeared, and it is difficult for a government without the support of the people to maintain, and at that time, the industry of their twelve brains will definitely be greatly affected.
But if the Coalition Government is surrendered, it is equivalent to conforming to the wishes of the people, even if the Twelve Wisdom Brain Group can no longer control the coalition government like the Lighthouse Government, nor can they get any commercial assistance through the Muse, but with their current strength, it is not difficult to maintain the family business, the big deal is to do business in the future and be more down-to-earth, it is better than letting an artificial intelligence shout five and six every day and command to come and go.
"But...... We are not good people in the eyes of the coalition government, and they know so many of our secrets, how can they believe that we really want to cooperate with them?"
Xie Maohua hesitated a little, the crimes of the Twelve Wisdom Brain Group are too numerous to list, even if they are not sentenced to death, they have to sit in prison, they want to seek a way to live, the coalition government may not be willing to give it, then Shu Yungui and Cheng Sikong are not good talkers, they are famous for their jealousy and hatred in the star field, and it is merciful not to arrest the Twelve Wisdom Brain Group and parade through the streets to hold a criticism meeting at this time.
"It's okay, they'll believe it, have you forgotten that they've already set this precedent?"
Xie Maohua looked at Boss Liu blankly, and finally realized after a while.
"You mean...... Heller?!"
They put down Heller before the luncheon, but failed to find any communication equipment from him, since Heller returned from Tunex has been very nervous, Xie Maohua suspected that he had defected to the enemy, but never found evidence, and refused to miss such an opportunity to ask for merit in front of the muse, so he joined Boss Liu to tie up the person, and went to search with confidence, but unexpectedly nothing was found.
He also suspected that someone in the fortress was connected with Heller, so he kept him imprisoned, but the news of the attack on Takser still spread, which made Xie Maohua uneasy, he suspected that there was more than one ghost inside, and he also suspected that he had caught the wrong person, but he still chose to believe in his keen intuition, Heller must have it
Issue.
"You've been to Heller? What did he say?!"
Heller woke up before the coalition government called, and after waking up, he probably thought that his survival was hopeless, and he behaved very decadently, and he didn't answer anything when Boss Liu asked him, until he heard that the coalition government's fleet had reached the sky over Wright, and his face changed, and he was so excited that he almost went crazy, shouting "I didn't bet wrong" or something like that.
At that time, Boss Liu was sure that he had surrendered to the enemy, but the battle was fierce at that time, and Boss Liu didn't have time to interrogate him carefully, but he didn't expect that in just a few hours, the situation changed drastically, and the traitor who was arrested by them turned out to be the most prescient person in the Twelve Wisdom Brain Regiment.
"Hurry, hurry! Take me to him and see if he can say something nice for us!"
Heller was sleeping, and he was the only one in the entire underground fortress who could sleep, although he didn't know why the Coalition Government had called at such the right time, but the question didn't matter, he knew that the Lighthouse Government's military bases were not ready, and the Coalition Government would be able to catch them off guard.
He had already begun to fantasize in his dreams that after he was picked up by the coalition government, he would take over the good life of Tunexing's business, but who knew that the locked door was hurriedly opened, and Xie Maohua, who was still arrogant to himself in the morning, walked in, and sat down opposite him very humbly.
Heller yawned, there was not even a sofa in this room, he could barely lie down for a while with a few stools, and the only remaining stool was sat by Xie Maohua at this time, and Boss Liu could only stand.
"What? Is the battle over? Who won?"
Although he asked so, when he saw that Xie Maohua and the others were not killed, but appeared in front of him with all beards and tails, Heller's heart was still tight, he was worried that the coalition government would be defeated, and these two people would settle accounts after the autumn.
But after thinking about it, they didn't find a communicator on themselves, how could they prove that they were collaborating with the enemy? Even in front of the muse, he has a chance to explain.
"How did you say that they believed in you?"
Time was pressing, Xie Maohua asked straight to the point, "You don't have to hide it anymore, we already know your relationship with Shu Yungui."
The coalition government won't really be defeated, will it?
Heller's eyes rolled twice, and he felt that it was impossible, he knew very well what was going on the ground on Wright, and the chances of the coalition government winning were almost 100%.
The two men were probably here to cheat their confessions, and when they were dying, they wanted to use themselves to make money in front of the muse, but Heller turned over and ignored them with his face facing the wall.
"Boss Heller, we apologize to you for your reckless behavior during the day, but now we really are not here to interrogate you, the West River military base has been controlled by the coalition government, the Wright Star has been defeated, and the reinforcements have not arrived for a long time, the muse wants us to force civilians to go to war, we are also human beings, we can see the situation clearly, we don't want to help the abuse anymore, if you can help us connect with the coalition government, we will be very grateful to you."
Heller's ears pricked up, he didn't want to deal with these two, after all, they had imprisoned him for most of the day, and they didn't even give him saliva, where did Heller, who had never suffered a crime since he was a child, suffer such abuse, and he was already on fire in his heart, but when he heard that Wright Star was defeated, he couldn't sleep if he wanted to, so he sat up and asked angrily.
"The Xihe military base is gone, isn't there still a bipolar military base?" He looked at Boss Liu and asked, "Didn't you say before that even if the coalition government called, Cha Wenxing would be in front?" And what about Chavín's reinforcements?"
Boss Liu touched the tip of his nose embarrassedly, the commander of the bipolar military base has always been friendly with Xu Wenzhao, the commander of the Xingliu Aviation Standby Station, and when the insect tide hit, the Bipolar Military Base was also the first to send troops to support the Xingliu Aviation Standby Station, and the Xingliu Aviation Backup Station was the first military organization in the star field to claim to defect to the coalition government, and now the commander of the Bipolar Base saw the Xihe Military Base fiasco, and they were even more unlikely to send troops.
Although the coalition government does not control the other administrative stars, it is already the general trend for them to unify the entire Hope star field, and the common people and government officials may not have seen the form, but the businessman's sense of smell is the most acute, and now he does not expect to get any benefits from the muse and the lighthouse government, to protect himself
That's the most important thing.
"Don't talk about any reinforcements now, for the sake of our cooperation with each other, Boss Heller will help us, and you don't have to work on anything, as long as you help us contact Shu Yungui and them, let's talk about the rest, if they are willing to believe us, of course it is best, if they don't want to believe it, it is also our own problem, and it has nothing to do with Mr. Heller."
It was rare to see Xie Maohua so servile, and for a moment, Heller even thought that he was the goddess of thorns, because Xie Maohua would only show his humble side when facing the goddess of thorns.
"Even if Shu Yungui and they are willing to see you, what can you do to make them let go of their prejudices against the Twelve Wisdom Brain Group? Don't forget that Shu Yungui's identity as a mutant also comes from the human-insect gene fusion experiment supported by the Twelve Wisdom Brain Groups."
This is indeed a big problem, Xie Maohua coughed, and said, "We can only find a way to make up for this matter, the genetic matter cannot be changed by our ability, but I can provide Shu Yungui with additional information, which is related to his parents who are far away in the Salamander Galaxy, I think he will be willing to listen to what I have to say."
Shu Yungui's parents went to Salamander with the Dawn more than 20 years ago, at that time Heller was still a prodigal rich second generation, and Boss Liu did not take over, neither of them knew about this matter, only Xie Maohua knew the real situation in this room, and this was the bargaining chip he used to negotiate with Shu Yungui head-on.
The businessman is always like this, he has enough chips to dare to sit at a table, he knows what Shu Yungui desperately wants to know, and this matter is enough in exchange for Shu Yungui not to shoot him.
"Salamanders? Is that the place where there is a lot of azurite in the legend?" Heller rubbed the tips of his ears and asked, "What are his parents doing there?" Are you sure Shu Yungui can believe your words?"
"I'll have to ask him if I believe it or not, but I think he will definitely be interested, this information may be very important to him, and if you can make a contribution to this matter, your Boss Heller's status as a referral in the hearts of the coalition government will naturally rise."
The lighthouse government is not working, the twelve brains are shuffling, Heller has already occupied the initiative in the coalition government with his own cleverness, which one is the business object that the coalition government will focus on supporting in the future, but it depends on whose credit is greater.
"Okay, I can introduce you, but not now."
He spread his hands and said, "The communicator between me and the coalition government is missing, if you never opened the door to the underground fortress, then this communicator should still be in the fortress, but I don't know who took it."
Xie Maohua stood up suddenly, and asked urgently, "Where did you lose it?" What model? What is the signal frequency? I'll send someone to find it right away!"
"It's an encrypted communicator, it can't detect a signal, I need to check the surveillance at the door of the safe house men's restroom after the second half of the fundraising meeting begins, I suspect someone took advantage of that time."
Without further ado, the muse is still waiting to see the scene of civilians going to the battlefield, if it finds out that Xie Maohua and they are rebellious, they will probably lock the door of the underground fortress, and then everyone will not want to go out.
Several people hurried to the monitoring room, and it was already past seven o'clock in the morning, nearly an hour after the coalition government's successful blitzkrieg on Wright.
Reinforcements are still on the way, but it's not far away, after yesterday's luncheon, except for Xie Maohua, Heller and Boss Liu, the rest of the members of the Brain Regiment have gone back to their administrative stars, once the muses order them to support them fully, those fools are likely to really send a large number of civilians to the battlefield because they are afraid of the muse.
"Quick! Quickly call up the surveillance at the door of the men's restroom after 10 a.m. yesterday!"
Boss Liu urged, the technicians didn't dare to be sloppy, and quickly called up the surveillance, the video was played quickly at five times the speed, after Heller was taken back to the conference room by Xie Maohua, no one entered the bathroom, until the meeting ended, four or five people came at the same time, they only took a minute or two from entering the bathroom to coming out, they looked normal, there was nothing suspicious, and then Heller appeared in the camera and flashed into the bathroom.
"It must be these four or five
Someone in the individual!"
Heller was sure, "I couldn't find the communicator after entering the cell for the second time, they must have taken it!"
The three of them replayed this video, and asked the technicians to take a separate screenshot of each person who entered the bathroom, there were four people in total, two of whom they all knew, the first to go in was the obviously angry Star Wars commander Zhai Cheng, and the fourth one to enter was Boss Liu himself.
"I only went to wash my hands and didn't use the cubicle, but I remember that the cubicle door was indeed closed when I entered, which means that the suspects would only be the first three people."
They looked at the screen again, Zhai Cheng was the first to go in, and then he just came out when Boss Liu went in, but because he was still angry, he didn't say hello to Boss Liu, and Boss Liu was looking at his mobile phone at the time, and he didn't notice that Zhai Cheng passed by him, and when Heller entered the bathroom, the second man who went in also came out at this time.
"I remember that the door of the cubicle was already open when I entered, and the third person hadn't left the bathroom at this time, so he shouldn't have entered the cubicle, so the third person could also be excluded."
There are only two photos left on the screen, one is Zhai Cheng, and the other is not very impressive, it seems to be the secretary of the chief Zong Dingbang, who has never received the attention of the Twelve Wisdom Brain Group because of his low status.
"What now?" "We can't confirm the suspect further based on the surveillance footage," Tse asked.
Heller stared at the screen for a while, the communicator must have been on one of them, but that person didn't report himself after getting the communicator, and the coalition government's timely blitzkrieg on Wright Star may also be related to the communicator, and it is likely that the other party passed the specific time of the attack to the coalition government after getting the communicator.
The secretary was not allowed to enter the conference room, and all the people present at the time were members of the Twelve Wisdom Brain Regiment and the Lighthouse Government, and the specific attack time was only conveyed at night, the purpose was to prevent someone from passing on the news, but this specific attack time was still transmitted to the Tak Nemesis at the first time!
That's right! It won't be the secretary of the chief! There is only one person who can be the first to know about the attack, and who has the ability to determine the source of the communicator, and who dares to risk being discovered to deliver the message to the coalition government.
That is, the commander-in-chief of the Star Wars of the Lighthouse Government, who has always been hostile to the Twelve Wisdom Brain Regiment, and attaches great importance to Cheng Sikong and Shu Yungui.
"It's Zhai Cheng!"
Heller secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, turned around and ran out of the monitoring room.
