"The boss is right. The leader called me today and said that the leaders of the major countries held a video conference last night to discuss this matter. The implication is to put more pressure on the Federation. We've spent so much money, we can't just sit around doing nothing. We need to see a real return, otherwise we won't be able to explain it to the finance department."
"Okay, has the casualty report from yesterday come out yet?"
"The count is complete. More than half of the survivors have died, and not many of the survivors are injured."
As they talked, the two took the elevator to the conference room door. Jiang Cheng was about to push the door open when he turned back and whispered to Gu Qingwan, "I've considered today's meeting. We need to tell our people to talk as little as possible and not to take responsibility. Tali isn't one to shirk responsibility, but his old guys are masters at shifting the focus of blame."
"Understood, I'll send the message now."
Jiang Cheng nodded and pushed open the door to enter.

Moreover, having experienced a defeat, now is the time when stabilizing morale is most needed. If anyone dares to try to escalate the conflict or split the Federation at this time, Tali will immediately deal with them under military law and will not allow them to cause trouble.
Jiang Cheng remained seated at the head of the side, calmly observing which side would speak first.
"Alright, everyone's here now, let's officially begin the meeting. Let me start by saying that today we won't discuss responsibilities, only arrangements," Tali said coldly.
"No, sir! I have a responsibility! If our individual combat squadron could have dealt with the insects as quickly as possible and prevented the War Maiden from being isolated and helpless, the battle would have ended much faster, instead of dragging on until it used its tricks and defeated our army. I am ashamed!" An old man sitting on Tali's side suddenly stood up, speaking with great emotion and tears streaming down his face, and immediately began his performance.
Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes. He knew this was what you were up to.
