Bai Li sighed, "Father naturally insisted on sending people to rescue us, but the military isn't solely up to him. Marshal Karl also has to take the risk. Planet 1036 is in a special location, and he doesn't agree to send a large force to take risks just for a few people.

Today, the top brass of the military and the Domain Control Department held a joint meeting, with the Military and Political Department also participating. After analyzing the pros and cons, they ultimately decided not to send anyone to rescue them."

"Why?"

Yu Rou didn't understand. "Those were soldiers of the Empire, fighting for their lives. Now, is the Empire going to abandon them? What happened to the desolate planet No. 1036? What's so special about it?"

Jiang Wan also looked at Bai Li, waiting for his answer.

Bai Li said helplessly: "Desolate Planet No. 1036 does not belong to any empire, but it is located close to the Zerg nest. If the empire sends a large-scale army to approach it, it is likely to attract the attention of the Zerg. At that time, I am afraid that the Zerg will launch a large-scale attack on the approaching warships. By then, I am afraid that not only will no one be rescued, but even more people will be killed. What's more..."

"What's more?"

Jiang Wan said coldly, his hand beside him unconsciously clenched into a fist, veins popping out on the back of his hand.

Bai Li looked up at her before continuing, "What's more, the domain control department only received the signal from Xiaoyi and his group's mecha. As for whether they are still alive, they haven't found out, so they think it's not worth the risk."

"They haven't found anything yet, so it's not worth the risk. So you're not even willing to send someone to check if they're still alive. Are you just giving up like that?"

Bai Li lowered his head.

Even his father couldn't do anything, so what else could he do?

But Jiang Wan didn't stop asking: "What if I lead people to rescue him myself?"

Bai Li raised his head in surprise and looked at Jiang Wan in disbelief: "What did you say?"

"I'll tell you," Jiang Wan said, emphasizing each word, "If I lead my own men to rescue him, the military shouldn't have any objections, right?"

"Wanwan, are you serious?" Yu Rou saw that Jiang Wan's expression didn't seem fake, and frowned as she spoke, "But, how are you going to get there? You can't fly a starship, and that place is so dangerous. What if..."

She didn't continue talking, subconsciously unwilling to say the worst possible outcome, as if that way there would be no bad outcome.

"I learned how to fly the escape ship from Yin Yi when we were in the Meteorite Sea. Besides, I don't plan to go there alone."

"What do you want to do?"

Bai Li looked at Jiang Wan solemnly, "If you need any help from me or my father, just let me know."

"I need to know the specific situation of the desolate planet No. 1036, and I also need personnel who are proficient in starship driving. In addition, I need some help."

Jiang Wan said what he had thought of at the moment.

Bai Li quickly said, "These are simple. I brought back all the information about the desolate planet No. 1036. It's right here. I can also help you arrange a pilot. As for helpers..."

Bai Li was silent for a moment. "The best candidates for help are naturally people from the military. However, if we want to transfer people from the military, we need the Marshal's consent. There will naturally be no problem with my father, but I'm afraid there will be some difficulties with Marshal Karl."

Jiang Wan frowned. "Does the military need the consent of both marshals to transfer personnel? If there's an emergency, wouldn't that waste a lot of time?"

"That's not the case. The two marshals of the military are in charge of two different areas. Marshal Karl is responsible for the deployment of border garrisons, while father is mainly responsible for all interstellar cruisers within the empire and the deployment of troops within the empire."

Bai Li explained, "Regarding whether to send people to the desolate planet No. 1036 to rescue them, because the desolate planet is located outside the empire and falls under the jurisdiction of Marshal Karl, my father has little say in this matter. If you want to take people out of the country, you still need Karl's consent."

Carl is the patriarch of the Ryan family. Although the two families can be considered relatives because of Yu Rou, the relationship between the two families has always been bad. There have been some frictions for hundreds of years. This time when Yin Yi got into trouble, he wished that Yin Yi would never come back. In this way, Bai Zhuo would lose a powerful subordinate in the military.

Yin Yi is the youngest general in the military. Although he was promoted based on his military merits in the border war, he should belong to Carl's camp. However, he happens to be Bai Zhuo's nephew and is closer to Bai Zhuo. Carl has disliked him for a long time.

When Yin Yi disappeared before, Carl intended to promote his confidant, but Yin Yi came back safe and sound, which ruined his plan.

This time, Yin Yi was accidentally teleported to the vicinity of the Zerg nest. If no one rescued him, he would surely die. Naturally, Carl would not let anyone rescue him.

I'm afraid he has already chosen someone to replace Yin Yi.

Thinking of the person standing next to Karl at the meeting today, Bai Li's face turned ugly again.

Is Xiaoyi already impatient to bring his replacement with him before he's even sure he can survive?

"I'll take care of Marshal Karl and get his approval."

Jiang Wan didn't find it difficult to deal with Karl.

What she needs most now is a strong team to go with her to rescue people. After all, the risk of this rescue is still very high.

It would be best if she could rescue the people without alerting the Zerg. If she had to go to war with the Zerg, she also hoped that her chances of winning would be higher. In this case, she would have to carefully select the people she would bring with her this time.

Thinking of the giant cockroaches and mantises he saw when he first came to this world, Jiang Wan couldn't help but shudder.

No matter how many times she had watched those Interstellar movies about the Zerg, Jiang Wan felt as if ants were crawling all over her body whenever she thought of those disgusting things she had seen up close that day.

"Wanwan, what's wrong with you?"

Yu Rou looked at Jiang Wan strangely as he suddenly looked disgusted.

"It's okay, I just thought of some disgusting things."

Jiang Wan waved his hand and looked at Bai Li again, "If I can handle Karl, can you ask Marshal Bai Zhuo to arrange for an elite force to go with me?"

Perhaps it was because Jiang Wan's eyes were too calm that Bai Li unconsciously believed that she could really convince Karl to agree to let her take people to rescue Yin Yi.

"Yes, as long as you can convince Carl to let the border troops pass, father will let Bai Hao lead the most elite search and combat troops to go with you, and this force will be under your full command at that time."

"That's fine, just wait for my news."
