Interstellar Programmer 19
Bruno and his men wanted to temporarily cease fire and wait for the decision of the top leaders of Imperial Star, but this was just their own idea. Mai Wei would not follow their ideas, so the attack had to continue.
Due to Bruno's injuries and the destruction of his mecha, others had to lead the troops into battle, but the result was equally disastrous. This situation led to growing discontent among the people of Nandi, and fierce condemnation erupted on the Starnet. Among the criticisms and discussions of the various leaders, comments related to Tao Yuan inevitably emerged.
———Based on the latest leaks about Yi Yukanit from the Southern Alliance Empire's Star Network, it's likely that all of the Southern Alliance Empire's combat mechas were upgraded by him, which is why they're so powerful. I just want to know, with such a talent, why did the Kanit and Bavis families force him to work for other countries?
Several years ago, Yi Yukanit was a renowned programming genius in our country, making significant contributions to the military. Then, for unknown reasons, he vanished into obscurity. It wasn't until the Southern Alliance Empire broke the news that it was revealed he had been forced into a marriage and fled. The military couldn't even protect such a crucial figure; no wonder they've suffered such a crushing defeat.
————But no matter what, Yiyukanit was trained by the Nandi Kingdom. No matter what, he should not use the abilities cultivated by our country to serve the Southern Alliance Empire, and then use it to deal with our country. Such treasonous behavior should be severely condemned!
But who wouldn't be furious and explode if pushed to that extent? It's certainly wrong for Yiyukanit to work for another country, and he should be blamed. But his parents and the Bavis family should also be blamed. They forced someone to marry and then murdered their loved one. People have feelings; who wants to be used as a tool to produce children?
The Bavis family is inherently hypocritical. On the surface, they pretend to be righteous and dedicated to their country and their people, but in reality, they've committed countless dirty deeds. This time, they killed someone's lover in order to force them to marry and have children. This was accidentally exposed, but who knows how many more dirty deeds they've committed that haven't been exposed.
These nobles, blinded by greed, still believe others don't know their true colors beneath their hypocritical masks. They purchased the latest and most powerful mechas, claiming they were confident they could win, only to be crushed and defeated miserably. Those officials who previously incited public sentiment are now silent.
Aren't those officials who incited public sentiment the ones leading the charge the Bavis family? And the main commander this time is none other than Bruno, the Bavis heir. After such a loss, everyone in their family has become a coward, with not a single one stepping forward to express their opinions.
————In short, the military and officials should come out and explain clearly. They spent such a huge amount of money to buy mechas, saying that they would definitely win, and they also raised taxes and asked the public to raise funds. Who will take responsibility? Will they continue to fight or negotiate peace? They should issue a statement as soon as possible to make it clear.
Before the war, the Bavis family was the most eager to show off, believing they had a strong chance of victory and hoping to seize the opportunity to completely control the military. However, they were unexpectedly defeated so miserably, and faced numerous public criticisms and insults, putting their entire family at the center of public controversy.
While the Bavis family appeared quiet, they were actually frantic, managing communications during the day and deliberating all night long. Continuing the battle would only lead to greater losses. Furthermore, Bruno's injuries had healed in the past few days, leaving them no excuse to delay fighting in person.
The entire family invested a great deal of effort in training Babruno as their heir, and his parents were extremely anxious. Therefore, the decision to negotiate peace was made quickly, with Babruno as the representative to negotiate the peace.
According to the Interstellar Treaty, the defeated party can propose a time limit for truce negotiations, but whether the negotiations will succeed depends on the victorious party's willingness to negotiate. If they are willing, they can make reasonable peace demands. If they are not willing, they can deliberately make high demands to embarrass the other party. If the other party cannot agree, the war will resume after the time limit expires.
Maiwei and his men had already prepared the peace proposals and were waiting for Babruno to come with his men as a representative to negotiate.
Bruno brought his men to Maiwei's main ship. Maiwei was already waiting with his men. Looking at Bruno who was walking in front, Maiwei looked him up and down. Whenever he thought that it was Bruno who forced Tao Yuan to have a child for him, he wished he could put him under house arrest, torture him for a few years, and then kill him.
Bruno walked up to Mai Wei and stopped, stretched out his hand, looked at him and said, "Hello, I am the representative for this peace negotiation, Bruno Bavis, Lieutenant General."
"I'm McVey Gardina." McVey said expressionlessly, without extending his hand to shake his hand.
"General Maiwei, I've long heard of your name." Bruno pretended nothing had happened and withdrew his hand.
"Our peace documents are ready. After you review them, sign them if you agree. If you disagree, expect the war to continue. There's no need to waste any more time." Mai Wei turned and said, "Let's go to the meeting room."
Bruno had long heard of McWee's formidable abilities, but this was his first time meeting him in person. While he admitted he was incredibly imposing, the thought of how he had been severely injured by McWee just a few days earlier made him feel deeply uncomfortable. McWee's obvious disdain for him also infuriated him, but for the sake of the negotiations, he couldn't show any emotion.
When Bruno was walking forward behind Mai Wei and the others, he suddenly saw Tao Yuan standing next to them, and their eyes met.
Tao Yuan sneered at him, his eyes filled with coldness and mockery. He was mocking Bruno's incompetence. Now he just had to wait. When Bruno fell even harder, it would be time for him to ridicule him and avenge the original owner.
In Bruno's eyes, there was a flash of fierce anger, because he felt that it was all because of Tao Yuan that he suffered such a terrible defeat.
After the negotiators from both sides entered the conference room, several assistants from Maiwei distributed the peace agreement they had drafted to Bruno and others. After they finished reading it, the negotiations officially began.
Before Mai Wei and his men came, the senior military and official officials had already decided to eliminate all the high-ranking nobles in power in the Nandi Kingdom and then make the Nandi Kingdom a part of their Southern Alliance Empire.
During the negotiation process of this peace talk, Mai Wei and his team had no sincerity at all and just wanted to make them give up, so it was impossible for them to succeed.
After reading the peace agreement, Bruno and his companions realized that Mai Wei and his companions had no sincerity in the negotiations, and their expressions turned grim. However, they were now in a position of needing help, and it was impossible for them to just walk away. So, despite their discomfort, they still gritted their teeth and insisted on negotiating.
If there is hope, the negotiation will last longer; if there is no hope, the negotiation will last shorter. This time, the negotiation ended in less than an hour, but Bruno insisted on resuming the negotiation in two days.
When they were about to leave, Bruno asked to see Tao Yuan. When he made this request, Mai Wei's eyes changed immediately and his fists clenched. He was holding back very hard to prevent himself from throwing a punch.
Bruno knew they wouldn't easily agree to a private meeting between him and Tao Yuan, so he had already prepared a preface. "His parents have a few words for me to convey to him. They're words of longing for their child. Don't worry, I won't tell him anything else. And since he's here, you should be confident you can keep him. You wouldn't be afraid or worried about me saying a few words to him, right?"
Mai Wei sneered and said, "Unlike you, we have never restricted his freedom and have always respected his decisions. If you want to talk to him alone, I won't object, but it depends on whether he is willing."
"Then please, can I ask him myself?" Bruno asked.
"Please come in." Mai Wei raised his chin and motioned him to go out.
Tao Yuan was originally in a daze in the office when he suddenly heard the sound of music. When he looked at the screen by the door, he was immediately stunned, because there was not only Mai Wei on the screen, but also many people standing behind Mai Wei.
Tao Yuan pressed the button to open the door and looked at them.
"He said he wants to talk to you alone. Do you want to listen?" Mai Wei pointed at Bruno behind him and said.
"What can I talk to him about?" Tao Yuan said expressionlessly.
McVey turned to Bruno and said "Did you hear that?"
Bunulu looked at Tao Yuan, who was sitting on the sofa. He was a little confused. Mai Wei was a general, but Tao Yuan didn't stand up after they came in. Mai Wei was still standing, but Tao Yuan was sitting. Although he didn't understand whether this was because of the Southern Alliance Empire's lax military discipline or some other reason, he knew that none of this was the main point at the moment.
"Your parents asked me to tell you a few words. I want to tell you alone. It's just a few words. It won't take you too long. I'll leave immediately after I finish speaking." Bruno looked at Tao Yuan and said.
"Parents?" Tao Yuan sneered. "Do I have parents? You're talking about the couple of merchants who treated me like a commodity, right?"
"No matter what, they are your biological parents who gave you life..."
"Stop!" Tao Yuan raised his hand to stop him from continuing. "I was tired of hearing these words before I left Nandi Country. Now I feel like vomiting when I hear them."
Bruno's heart sank. He thought Tao Yuan was unwilling to talk to him alone, so his plan would not be completed. But Tao Yuan looked at Mai Wei and said, "You go out first. I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll just listen to what he has to say."
Mai Wei frowned and looked at Tao Yuan without saying anything.
Tao Yuan took out a rectangular object from the drawer, the contents of which were unclear, and said, "Don't worry, I have this."
Maiwei turned his head and looked at Bruno again, then turned and walked out.
After the automatic door closed, Tao Yuan looked at Bruno and said, "Just say whatever you want to say. My patience is limited. If you talk too much nonsense, I'm not in the mood to listen."
Bruno pulled something out of his pocket and pressed it. Tao Yuan immediately recognized what he was holding, and then said in a mocking tone, "If I'm not mistaken, the thing in your hand seems to be something I developed. How is it? Does it work well?"
That was a jammer invented by the original owner that could prevent recording and surveillance.
Bruno looked at Tao Yuan and said, "I want to see you alone. There is only one thing I want to tell you, and it is something you definitely want to know."
"Oh?" Tao Yuan looked uninterested.
"Your lover, Janine, is not dead yet."
Tao Yuan was stunned for a moment, then slowly looked up at him.
"He's in our hands. If you want to see him, you have to cooperate with us." Bruno took out another crystal card and placed it on Tao Yuan's desk. "Think about it carefully. I'll come back in two days."
Tao Yuan looked at the crystal card on the table expressionlessly.
Bruno looked at Tao Yuan for a while, and after confirming the emotional fluctuations in his eyes, he turned and left with a barely noticeable smile.
