The deep starry sky is littered with the wreckage and debris of starships. These floating objects tell the tragedy of war.

The Emperor of Light silently closed the light screen, his sitting posture was still straight, but the tiredness between his eyebrows could not be concealed.

The Chief of the General Staff of the Imperial Military Department was serious, and he read mechanically on the side: "In the Battle of Andromeda, the commander-in-chief of the fleet Guo Nu was killed on the spot, the Fox King Hu Xiao was seriously injured, and the Spirit King Fengye was seriously injured, and the empire lost a total of 57 first-class Galaxy warships, 389 second-class Galaxy warships, 2,877 third-level Galaxy warships and various auxiliary warships. A total of 21.13 million soldiers were killed, 950,000 were wounded, and more than 30,000 were missing......"

The cold numbers weighed on all the participants like a mountain, and they couldn't breathe.

Cabinet members, senior military generals, all of them have solemn faces.

In the conference room, there was a deathly silence.

It was the most painful defeat of the empire in a thousand years. Although it will not shake the rule of the empire, it has already broken the bones of the empire.

Although the empire will not lose its ability to resist, it will also put the empire into a great passive position at the strategic level.

"Prime Minister, what do you think......" Emperor Guangming's tone was cold, and there was an irrepressible anger.

At the beginning, it was the prime minister who fully supported the battle, saying that he wanted to teach the Odin Empire a lesson. Now that the empire is defeated, he doesn't say a word.

When the prime minister heard the grievances of the Bright Emperor, he felt uncomfortable, and this plan was not agreed to by yourself. But no matter how dissatisfied he was, he didn't dare to show it.

He said with a guilty face: "I have to bear a large part of the responsibility for this big defeat." I have betrayed the trust of His Majesty, and the trust of the people of the Empire. As for my responsibility, I will never shirk it. ”

When he said this, he was a little responsible, and everyone looked at the prime minister with a little more surprise.

The Prime Minister, who has always acted slickly, is willing to take the initiative to take responsibility for the defeat of the empire, which is really unexpected by everyone.

"However," the prime minister said, "the priority is not to hold accountable, but to deal with the aftermath." ”

"What's your plan?" asked the Bright Emperor.

"After a crushing defeat, the morale of the military is low, and it is difficult to organize a large army battle in a short period of time. The Empire could not afford another defeat. I suggest that peace be negotiated with the Odin Empire for the time being. ”

Before the prime minister's words fell, the defense minister stood up angrily, "Negotiate peace? In the event of a major defeat, to negotiate peace is to surrender, and this will be a shame that we will never be able to wash away." ”

If it weren't for some restraint, the defense minister would have pointed at the prime minister and scolded the "traitor."

Other cabinet members and military dignitaries also had ugly faces. Proposing an armistice and peace now will undoubtedly come at a huge cost.

The Minister of Defense is right, at this time, the Emperor of Light, including all decision-makers, will bear a shame that can never be washed away.

The prime minister did not shy away from looking at the Minister of Defense, "What do you want?

That's exactly what the Minister of Defense thinks. On the occasion of the great defeat of the empire, only a great victory can reverse the decline, restore the reputation of the empire, suppress the floating people's hearts, and stabilize the social situation.

"Yes, as long as Your Majesty leads a large army to personally conquer and deal the most severe blow to the Odin Empire, it shows our determination not to give an inch. Beo XVI realized that nothing could be done, so he took the initiative to negotiate peace. ”

The Minister of Defense said strongly.

The prime minister ignored the Minister of Defense and said to the Emperor of Light: "Your Majesty, you are the foundation of the empire and cannot be moved lightly. It is not only rash but ridiculous and stupid to lead an army to march in person just because of a defeat. ”

For the Minister of Defense, the Prime Minister was unceremoniously and directly criticized.

"For this failure, you, as the Minister of Defense, have to take more responsibility. I know you need a big win to prove yourself. But you shouldn't let Your Majesty take risks for you. ”

This was so heart-wrenching that the Minister of Defense's face turned red, his fists clenched, and he hated to smash the Prime Minister's head with one punch.

But here, it's not his turn to be presumptuous. What's more, the prime minister is also a golden powerhouse. If you give it a go, you may not lose to him.

The Minister of Defense knows that he is clumsy, and debating with the Prime Minister is asking for his own suffering. He said to the Emperor of Light: "Your Majesty, I am dedicated to the public and have no selfishness. ”

The Prime Minister laughed, and what the Minister of Defense said was a bit ridiculous. But he also knew that forcing the Minister of Defense to show his ugliness would not make His Majesty the Emperor happy.

The Bright Emperor ignored the defense minister's self-defense. This defeat made him particularly disappointed in the Minister of Defense.

"Yan Qing, what do you think?" Emperor Wen Yan asked the Chief of the General Staff.

In advance, he was firmly opposed to fighting with the Odin Empire, believing that the time was not yet ripe. It's just that the voice of the main battle faction is too loud and strong, and his opposition has not been able to prevent the battle.

The great defeat in the battle also proved serious sobriety and sanity. At this time, the Emperor of Light had to pay attention to his opinion.

Seriously solemnly said: "The prime minister is right, Your Majesty is the foundation of the empire, and it cannot be moved lightly. ”

The Minister of Defence was furious that he was a member of the military and openly supported the Prime Minister.

"All we need to do is show the determination and posture to fight with all our might, and it will be enough for Beo XVI to retreat. You don't need to fight under your majesty. ”

The Minister of Defense yelled at the serious: "You won't understand such a simple truth, right?"

Seriously looked at the Minister of Defense coldly and said: "Beo XVI is a madman, and he cannot be speculated by common sense. ”

"Ridiculous, even if Beo XVI is a madman, are the upper echelons of the Odin Empire all madmen. Fighting with the Empire will do them any good, except that it will cheapen the Titan Empire!"

The Minister of Defense was agitated and leaned on the table and asked loudly.

"According to you, the Odin Empire should not have invaded. Seriously retorted.

The Minister of Defense laughed angrily, "How can this be equated." The Odin Empire went to war because of the growth of the Young Zhuang faction, and various ethnic disputes in the country continued. A big war that can divert all kinds of contradictions. ”

Shaking his head seriously, "It's not that simple. According to intelligence, Beo XVI is schizophrenic and is likely to be the head of the Dark God Society. The Dark God will always be dedicated to destroying humanity, and it's no surprise that he's doing anything crazy. ”

"That's your reasoning!" exclaimed the Secretary of Defense, "ridiculous, ridiculous." As Emperor of the Empire, Beo XVI had access to almost everything in the world. He will be the head of the Dark God Society, and you are embarrassed to bring out this kind of news circulating on the light network. ”

Said seriously: "Crazy, it's not strange to do anything. After a pause, he said, "Also, this news was told to me by someone else." I didn't get it from the optical web. ”

"Whoever told you, you told him to show evidence. The Minister of Defense sneered, no matter who said it, he dared to spray the other party in the face.

"Gao Feng. Seriously gave the answer.

"Uh," the Minister of Defense swallowed as he swallowed the angry reproach that came to his lips.

Everyone present was also shocked.

Gao Feng has been missing for almost two years. In the past two years, there has been no official report about Gao Feng in the empire.

People are always forgetful. No matter how famous a person is, if he doesn't mention it for half a year, very few people will pay attention to it again.

The first glorious envoy with infinite scenery at the beginning seems to have disappeared silently.

It was already an open secret that the Bright Emperor did not like to hear Gao Feng's name.

The entrance to the closed space was never opened again.

Lu Yuan, Guan Shanyue and others proposed to enter the space several times to find Gao Feng. But they were all rejected by the Emperor of Light on the grounds of the safety of the empire.

At this time, Gao Feng was seriously mentioned suddenly, which was also beyond the expectations of the Bright Emperor.

Emperor Guangming's eyes shrank slightly, and he couldn't help but have some suspicions in his heart, what did he want to do!

Regarding Gao Feng's attitude, Emperor Guangming has always been very ambivalent. He not only valued Gao Feng's genius, but also had extreme scruples about him.

As Gao Feng became the first radiant envoy, his light became more and more vigorous, and his methods became more and more powerful.

The scruples of the Bright Emperor became deeper and deeper. Finally, Gao Feng disappeared in the Flood Desolation World. He can justifiably enclose the entrance to the space. His heart was settled at once.

Emperor Guangming also knew that such a closed entrance to the space could not actually solve the problem. But he didn't want to completely destroy the entrance to the space, he did too much.

Seriously didn't look at the Emperor of Light, and continued to look at himself and said: "Gao Feng has already foreseen the madness of Beo XVI. Facts have also proved that Gao Feng's foresight is correct. ”

The prime minister understood the emperor's worries and interjected: "Chief of General Staff Yan, what exactly do you want to say?"

"What I want to say is that the problem is far more serious than everyone thinks. The Odin Empire, or Beo XVI, had more than just to occupy parts of the Empire. He wanted to destroy the empire, and even the human race. ”

Everyone's expressions changed, and what they said seriously was too sensational.

You must know that this is not a small forum of the quantum optical network, and you can open your mouth and talk nonsense.

Sitting here are the most powerful people in the empire, who can decide the fate of the empire.

"Seriously, please be careful. Marshal Hong Quan said in a deep voice. He used to be a serious direct superior, and he also had the grace to support him. And seriously speaking is also not so polite.

The prime minister frowned slightly, Hong Quan's words seemed to be a serious reprimand, but in fact he was cooperating seriously.

Looking at the Minister of Defense again, he is also at a loss. Apparently uninformed.

The Prime Minister does not believe this is a coincidence. At this time, when Gao Feng is mentioned, someone must be working behind him.

"Lu Yuan, when did they also have influence on the military?" The prime minister's mind moved, and he suddenly thought of Ye Jingshen.

Ye is shocked and serious, but he is a fellow student in the same year!

The problem is that he is not a person who talks about personal feelings, and it is impossible for him to be bought by Ye Jingshen. What does Serious want to do?

"Chief of General Staff Yan, don't talk nonsense about things without evidence. The foreign minister also saw that something was wrong and stood up against it.

Seriously nodded and said, "Of course I won't talk nonsense." Just ask Gao Feng to come out and testify. ”

The prime minister chuckled in his heart, and said that he still talked about Gao Feng. The Prime Minister, like the Emperor of Light, was extremely disgusted with Gao Feng. Disgusted with Gao Feng's unreasonable cards, disgusted with Gao Feng's disregard for the rules, disgusted with Gao Feng's disrespect for their interests.

From the bottom of his heart, the prime minister also hopes that Gao Feng will disappear completely. He would rather lose a small half of the empire's territory, it doesn't matter.

The empire was so large that it was difficult for the central government to rule and manage effectively. Shrinking the territory had little effect on the Central Dynasty.

But the prime minister also knew that in this regard, the Bright Emperor was different from him. The Emperor of Light could not accept the loss of any territory.

This time, the Odin Empire was able to win a big victory, not only because they had powerful biochemical warships. And because their kings dominate the battlefield.

The number of kings in the empire is not inferior to that of the other party, but the emperor is mostly immovable. Although Gao Feng is disobedient, he is undoubtedly the most belligerent. It also has great prestige in the Empire.

Gao Feng is undoubtedly the sharpest sword and has never failed. At this critical juncture, the Bright Emperor would definitely think of Gao Feng's benefits.

Sure enough, the Bright Emperor thought for a moment and said, "The stakes are very high, I want to talk to Gao Feng in person......"
