On the other side, Chen Yu, Lin Lele, and others were also discussing whether to accept Paul and the others to join them.
Lin Lele spoke first, her eyes filled with disdain: "Those who are not of our kind are bound to have different hearts! These Merika soldiers were our enemies yesterday, and today they want to turn into our comrades? This is simply unbelievable, like a fairy tale!"
Zhao Feng gently shook his head, trying to analyze the situation from a more rational perspective: "Secretary Lin, I understand your concerns, but in this apocalyptic era, we can no longer use traditional national borders and races to distinguish between friend and foe. Colonel Paul and his men are willing to lay down their weapons and actively seek cooperation, which in itself is a rare and commendable courage. We should give them a chance, at least to hear what they have to say."
“That’s right, Mr. Chen, I think we should let them join,” Newsk interjected.
"Oh?" Chen Yu raised an eyebrow. "Old Niu, why do you think that?"
“Here’s what I’m thinking: we’re about to conduct ‘cold relief’ operations in Merica, and as you know, Merica is a country with a tough culture and everyone carries a gun. If we act rashly, it might cause unnecessary trouble and conflict,” Niusk continued. “Colonel Paul and his men, as soldiers in Merica, have a natural prestige and influence among the people.”
Neusk paused, seemingly considering how to better express his views: "If we can accept them, we can not only reduce friction with the local people, but also leverage their strength to more smoothly advance our disaster relief work."
"Aren't you also from Mereka?" Lin Lele asked suspiciously.
Upon hearing this, Niuske smiled wryly and said, "It's different. In the eyes of the world, I'm just a businessman, a capitalist, and capitalists are never popular. But Colonel Paul and his men are true soldiers who have been on the battlefield, shed blood, and earned merit. In the hearts of the people of Mereka, they are heroes, guardians. With them joining the 'Cold Relief Militia,' it will be easier to gain the trust and support of the local people."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu looked at Niu Ke and laughed, "You old Niu, you're getting more and more cunning."
"Isn't this for the 'cold relief and disaster relief' work?" Niu Ke smiled somewhat awkwardly.
"So, does that mean we'll be the 'International Militia Corps for Cold Weather Relief' from now on?" Lin Lele's eyes lit up with excitement. "That's great! That's wonderful! From now on, I'll be the commander of the 'International Militia Corps for Cold Weather Relief,' hehe~"
Chen Yu nodded slightly. Indeed, since a "cold relief and disaster relief" operation was to be carried out across the entire planet Blue Star, a diverse team composition was essential.
Suddenly, he glanced at Liu Menghan, who had been silent all along, and said calmly, "Little Liu, what do you think about this?"
"Me? Mr. Chen, you're joking. I'm neither a leader of the Tianyu Base nor an officer in the 'Anti-Cold Disaster Relief Militia Corps,' so how dare I speak?" Liu Menghan said sarcastically.
Chen Yu wasn't angry about this. He knew that Liu Menghan was dissatisfied with his decision to halt the operation to capture Hannibal.
Putting aside the reliability of Liu Menghan's proposed operation to capture Hannibal, the key issue is that Hannibal, along with the entire carrier strike group, was taken into another dimension by him just a few hours ago. What's the point of trying to capture him now?
Chen Yu pretended not to notice Liu Menghan's dissatisfaction, and waved his hand, saying, "Hey~ Xiao Liu, now that you say that, I have to give you a good talking-to. Forget about leaders and officers, we're a team, a collective now. Everyone's opinion is very important. When it comes to such an important decision, everyone can speak freely! This isn't a place where one person can have their own opinion, right?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Menghan rolled her eyes. You're pretending? Keep pretending? No matter how well you pretend, you can't hide your dictatorial nature.
However, Liu Menghan didn't say these words out loud. At this moment, she calmed down. She was under someone else's roof, and there was no need to confront Chen Yu head-on. Doing so would not do her any good.
So she took a deep breath and tried to make her tone sound calmer.
“Alright, then let me give you my opinion. Hmm… I agree with your point of view and think we can consider accepting Colonel Paul and others into our team. Their identities can greatly benefit us on the ‘Mereka,’ and as the captain of the aircraft carrier ‘Fu’, Colonel Paul’s influence on the Mereka should not be underestimated. With his addition, we might be able to resolve some potential obstacles more smoothly. Finally, if we encounter any matters that are inconvenient for us to handle, we can let them deal with them. This way, we can achieve our goals while avoiding direct exposure,” Liu Menghan calmly analyzed.
“Alright, since everyone agrees, then it’s settled.” Chen Yu concluded, his eyes revealing a decisiveness. “Colonel Paul and the others will officially become members of our ‘International Militia Corps for Cold Weather Relief.’ However, Commander Zhao, you must strictly control their discipline.”
Chen Yu's voice was firm and powerful. He turned his gaze to Zhao Feng and continued, "No matter who you are or what your previous identity was, once you join our team, you must abide by our discipline and regulations. This is to ensure the smooth progress of our operations and to protect the safety of every member."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Feng nodded solemnly: "Mr. Chen, rest assured, I will be responsible for conveying our discipline and regulations in detail to Colonel Paul and others, and ensuring that they strictly abide by them. At the same time, I will also strengthen the disciplinary supervision of the entire team to ensure that no violations occur."
“Very good.” Chen Yu nodded in satisfaction, then continued, “In addition, we need to develop a comprehensive cooperation mechanism, clearly defining each other’s responsibilities and tasks to ensure that we can work together efficiently. This work will be handled by…”
Chen Yu turned to look at Lin Lele, but after seeing her bewildered and innocent eyes, he shook his head and turned back to Zhao Feng, continuing, "Commander Zhao, please take this opportunity to lead and be responsible for this work."
Zhao Feng straightened his back, his eyes shining with determination: "Yes, Mr. Chen, I will do my utmost to ensure the smooth establishment and implementation of the cooperation mechanism."
“Very good.” Chen Yu nodded again, then looked at everyone, his tone encouraging, “We are about to embark on a journey full of challenges and unknowns, but I believe that as long as we are united and trust each other, nothing can stop us from moving forward. Let us join hands and work together for the great cause of ‘fighting the cold and providing disaster relief’!”
