Upon hearing Li Guofeng take responsibility, no one spoke; they simply stared at their leader, whose hair had turned white in an instant, in silence for a long time.
These high-ranking officials knew very well that the fault in this battle was not human!
Even if anyone were in this position, they couldn't possibly do a better job than Commander Li.
Moreover, they themselves haven't made much of a contribution, so what right do they have to criticize this old man who devoted himself to China?
Before Lao Li could finish speaking, he was immediately interrupted by Zhao Yucai, who was standing next to him.
"Everyone knows what the situation is like at home and abroad. Even if we had realized it at the time, it would have been difficult to force them back."
Moreover, Earth is so vast, yet it's as fragile as a sieve right now. If we really force them back, they'll surround us from all sides, putting even more pressure on other smaller cities!
Besides, demons don't only descend through grotto-heavens; that's unrealistic. Old Li, you don't need to blame yourself!
Faced with his old friend's words of comfort, Li Guofeng waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for further explanation. Then, his expression turned serious and his demeanor became exceptionally resolute.
"There's no point in saying more now, and it's just a temporary setback. We're not without the possibility of winning."
Everyone knows that the main reason why these demons are so difficult to deal with is their sheer number. Although these guys are born from negative emotions, I believe that these things cannot appear out of thin air without any consumption.
I now hope to assemble an elite force to launch a counterattack, using the cave as a breakthrough point, to uncover the truth and then solve the problem at its root!
Faced with Li Guofeng's powerful and resounding speech, all the senior executives fell silent.
They all knew that China was already at its last gasp. Although it seemed that it could hold on for a while longer, the outcome might not improve if it persisted.
If Li Guofeng's plan can be successfully implemented, and the relevant secrets can be found and completely destroyed, perhaps Blue Star will still have a glimmer of hope.
Although the hope is slim, it's still better than sitting and waiting for death!
Faced with such a deadly mission, not one of the people present refused; they all expressed their agreement.
Even if they disagree on political views in ordinary times, when it comes to a life-or-death moment, these old people are all filled with nothing but passion.
They were not afraid of death, but they were worried that they were not strong enough to find out the specific information, let alone destroy it.
Seeing that no one raised any objections, Li Guofeng was about to adjourn the meeting when an elderly man who looked like he was on his deathbed stood up shakily and volunteered to join the suicide squad.
The old man, who had retired from the northern frontier battlefield, didn't say a word. He only said that he had lived for so long and didn't want to die an ordinary death.
I want to see for myself what these beasts really are!
Speaking of which, this old man has made great contributions since the founding of New China, and he is already over a hundred years old.
Although spiritual energy has recovered now, and he was unexpectedly awakened more than half a year ago due to the appearance of the cave heaven, and his physique is better than before, who would dare to send this honored but only F-rank senior to the battlefield, especially to carry out a cave heaven mission with a ten-fold chance of death?
Old Li finally managed to persuade the hot-blooded old man to calm down, but after thinking it over, Young Master Wang silently raised his hand.
"Um, what? There's no need to form any special teams. I'll go. I'll find two space-type masters to accompany me, and they can relay messages..."
"fart!"
"You better behave yourself, kid!"
Before Wang Zheng could finish speaking, he was immediately met with unanimous opposition from Li Guofeng and Zhao Yucai.
In their minds, although Wang Zheng was powerful, he could never be a match for so many demons. Moreover, the Demon Lord was still in that cave. If this number one genius of China were to fall, the flame of China would truly be extinguished.
After all, in their plan, Wang Zheng not only represents himself, but his spiritual space is also the most important backup plan for all Chinese residents.
The reactions of these two top decision-makers instantly attracted everyone's attention and made everyone present realize that something was amiss.
At first, they all thought that since Wang Zheng was called upon for today's mission, it must be because this Grandmaster Wang was going to lead the team.
Although Wang Zheng is still young and his research contributions are outstanding, as the first person in China and abroad to do so, he should certainly have a part in such an important task.
If someone doesn't want to go, that's another matter.
But now that this top master has taken the initiative to express his opinion, these two top leaders are rushing to refuse, which is quite thought-provoking.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Li Guofeng knew he had lost his composure, but he also had his reasons.
He knew exactly what kind of person Wang Zheng was. If he refused too late, Wang Zheng might just go his own way and leave on his own.
The key issue is that I can't stop him!
What if, what if something unexpected happens to him? All of our plans will go bankrupt.
"I shouldn't have invited him to today's meeting. Honestly, I just wanted this kid to help me break through the entrance to the cave so the special forces could make their breakthrough. He wasn't like this before. Did I put too much pressure on him?"
Li Guofeng and Zhao Yucai exchanged a glance, thinking that since they had reached a life-or-death moment anyway, and none of the people present could be possessed by the Heavenly Demon, they might as well stop hiding it and simply reveal their last trump card.
Then Zhao Yucai and the others revealed Wang Zheng's speculation that this was the prototype of the so-called "opening up of the cave heaven" and a series of other backup plans.
"I know this sounds unbelievable, but it's true. Everything Minister Zhao said is true. We also arranged for relevant personnel to enter his consciousness space to establish a survival base a long time ago. It's just that there hasn't been enough time, and many things haven't been prepared yet..."
After saying this, Li Guofeng paused and gave his final conclusion.
"Therefore, no matter how strong Wang Zheng is, I do not approve of him taking risks."
After all, he is our only hope for preserving the flame of civilization and rising again. As long as nothing unexpected happens to him, even if the entire planet falls, we will still have a chance to rise again.
Even if the world is destroyed, as long as he can continue to improve his strength, he can split this space out and it may well become another real world.
Of course, I don't mean to give up on Blue Star just like that. On the contrary, we need to buy it enough time..."
