Chapter 441 Don’t Treat People as Fools

Commander Jin is always like this.

Act as a mediator when conflicts arise and smooth things over.

Then, when the conflict ends, you can gain the greatest benefit and stand firmly on the side of the winner.

The same is true this time.

When a conflict arose, he subconsciously pushed his 'ally' out.

If the old guys in the Star Alliance are fighting among themselves, it would be useful to bring out the commander-in-chief. After all, everyone will weigh the pros and cons and take the commander-in-chief's authority into consideration.

But the lower-level workers and interstellar residents won’t.

They have been waiting for death in despair. Now that they finally have hope, they must hold on to it even at the cost of their own lives.

Trace back to the source, and since the commander-in-chief is now the source, they immediately turned their attention to him.

Question the commander-in-chief, why did he do this?

Do they want to sacrifice the lower class people?

In the era of optical computers, information has never been delayed.

For a time, the interstellar world was filled with resentment, and the lower classes were in chaos and violence. Everyone was like a taut string, ready to explode at any moment.

They either begged or threatened, demanding an explanation from those in power.

This kind of nationwide riot has never happened before.

Even when the source of my mental power was gradually experiencing problems, it never happened.

This is the first time it appears.

All senior management attach great importance to it.

Following the last meeting where Song Tianyu brought back the psychic crystal and gained the real power of deputy commander-in-chief, this time all the high-level interstellar meetings were held again.

There is only one content: the commander-in-chief must bear full responsibility for this chaos.

The commander-in-chief glanced coldly at the guilty Commander Jin, his gaze not lingering until it finally landed on Song Tianyu and his son.

"If I suspend my duties, what will happen to the official business of the Star Alliance?"

"The deputy commander-in-chief has been in office for so long that he should know the general procedures. Commander Song will assist him and take over the official duties temporarily." An energetic old man said in a deep voice.

Another highly respected officer also said, "The most important thing right now is to give everyone an explanation. Once a decision is made, the consequences must be borne."

They seemed to be giving an explanation to everyone, but in fact they were also giving an explanation to the Song family and the General Research Institute.

Because the project that the Jin family snatched away was messed up.

After the suspension was agreed upon and the commander-in-chief handed over the badge, they immediately turned their attention to Song Tianyu.

"The Jin family is not up to the task. The restoration of the soil still depends on the efforts of the General Research Institute."

"The capabilities of the General Research Institute are limited. We are naturally powerless to do anything that even the Jin family can't do." Song Tianyu declined lightly.

Now that things have developed to this point, are we just going to throw the mess to him?

No indication at all, is that possible?

The senior leaders all spoke earnestly, and the commanders of several major military regions also echoed them. In the end, the commander-in-chief was forced to apologize, as if they would be ungrateful if they didn't agree...

Song Tianhe slowly relaxed, "This project has always been in the charge of the General Research Institute. We are indeed confident that it will be fully restored in due time."

As soon as these words were spoken, Commander Jin, who had been silent all this time, raised his eyes and looked at him with a questioning and suspicious look in his eyes.

"So you already have that kind of material? But you didn't give it to us?"

That is the substance that gives life to everything.

Although they failed in the extraction these days, they did not gain nothing.

At least we know that it is a substance that does not exist in the interstellar space.

Where did he come from?

From the beginning?

He anticipated the current situation, so he held back and didn't hand it over at all?

Song Tianhe just turned to look at him, but before he could say anything, the senior elders stopped him, "Shut up! You so arrogantly stole the research results of the General Research Institute, and now that something has gone wrong, you still have the nerve to hold others responsible?"

“…”

Commander Jin immediately shut up. Now that the commander-in-chief has handed over power, if he still shows up, he will just be a target.

As expected, without Song Tianhe needing to continue speaking, Commander Hong of the Third Military Region began, "The Jin family's actions this time are truly chilling."

"The commander-in-chief is also thinking about the overall situation. Ultimately, Commander Jin is too confident." Someone immediately agreed and even spoke up for the commander-in-chief.

If time passes and the commander-in-chief is reinstated, he can still ask for a favor.

Holding Commander Jin accountable now can also save face for the Song family.

After all, during the period when the commander-in-chief was suspended, all matters of the Star Alliance, big or small, were decided by the Song family.

Everyone has their own little calculations in mind.

But the goal is the same: to shirk responsibility and let the General Research Institute managed by the Song family take over this hot potato.

And the problem Commander Jin complained about...

No one cares.

They didn't give us the important information at the beginning, and it's even less likely that they will give it to us now.

The Song family has finally given in, but they can't be pushed too far. Otherwise, if they really don't care about anything in the end, they will be doomed.

The Song family had never intended to let Commander Jin go, and now was the perfect time for Song Tianhe to chime in. "That's right, Commander Jin has a responsibility. We can keep trying, but someone has to step in and resolve this situation."

The conference room was silent for a moment.

The commander-in-chief, who had been surprisingly cooperative, frowned unconsciously.

He was willing to cooperate in handing over power, and naturally he also wanted to hand over the mess and let others come forward to give an explanation.

But this person must not be Commander Jin.

He knew too well Commander Jin's thoughts and habits, but at the moment, the only family capable of competing with the Song family in scientific research was the Jin family, so he had to protect Commander Jin.

So I cooperated with all the senior executives in this act and accepted the suspension.

However, unexpectedly, the idiots in these major military regions were still fighting each other at this time.

Pushed out the people he was protecting...

"Commander Jin is incapable of giving an explanation, and no one will trust the Jin family." The commander-in-chief suddenly spoke and bluntly refused.

The top management fell silent, obviously not expecting this, their brains raced as to what to do.

Song Tianyu didn't give them much chance to respond and said directly, "Yes, Commander Jin definitely doesn't have the ability, and the Song family naturally doesn't have it either. I'm only the deputy commander-in-chief, not the commander-in-chief."

“…”

The conference room was so quiet that it seemed as if it had fallen into a vacuum, and everyone had a different expression.

The top management is even more so.

It was only at this time that they realized that the Song family’s target was not just Commander Jin, but the authority of the commander-in-chief?

The suspension of official duties is just a show to give the Song family a way out.

When the Song family took over the matter, the badge naturally returned to the commander-in-chief's hands, and everyone knew it.

But I never expected that the Song family had such a big appetite.

The commander-in-chief stared at Song Tianyu with eagle-like eyes, emphasizing every word, "I suspend you. You have absolute authority and greater responsibility to shoulder the burden of the interstellar world!"

"You're joking. The General Research Institute has made such a great contribution, and they're just giving it up like that, right?"

Song Tianyu was humble, but his words were sharp. "Do I even have a chance to speak? If Commander Jin had achieved something today, it would have been a completely different story, right?"

"I don't mean anything else. I'm willing to take responsibility. But at the same time, don't treat me like a fool. I need the right to speak out."

“…”
