Chapter 495 Do you think I'm stupid?
at the same time.
The Galactic Empire has held a holographic video conference. The hall is packed with hundreds of people, mainly Alpha warriors and Federation warriors from the Gliese and East Mali war zones.
There were no long and meaningless opening remarks, and no one was in the mood to flatter each other.
Ivan's expression was serious. "Major General Lian, the eyes of the entire empire are on us now. The conflict between the two sides is escalating. I think we have to return to the negotiation table to resolve the issue. The Federation doesn't want a large-scale war, right?"
Lian Yi raised his eyelids slightly: "Negotiations are fine, but it is never the Federation that violates the Imperial Peace Regulations."
Ivan lowered his eyes and said, "That's all a misunderstanding. Our enemies should never be within the Galactic Empire. Now that the threat of the Star Alliance is still there, we should maintain mutual assistance among the human race, right?"
Lian Yi tapped the table lightly with his right index finger: "You've already said what you want to say, just tell me the solution."
Ivan made a gesture of sending a document. "Simply put, to prevent large-scale conflict, the Federation will withdraw from the East Mali war zone. Correspondingly, Alpha will withdraw the same distance. At the same time, the Federation will withdraw its control over Hanaba and its weapons shipments..."
Lian Yi only asked one question: "What about Alpha's compensation?"
Ivan played dumb: "What compensation?"
Lian Yi looked at him coldly. "They attacked my East Mali War Zone space station, snatched Federation weapons, and violated the peace treaty... You're not planning to just say a few words and let it go, are you? How will you compensate me for the lives of my Federation soldiers?"
Ivan stood up and said, "You have already destroyed one of my battleships. What else do you want?"
"That's right!" Councillor Shaliya, who was present at the meeting, actually stood on the same side with the Alpha people, which was a rare occurrence.
Others in Yangping and Tianjin also began to clamor, accusing the federation of brutality and suppression against them.
Nie Guansheng's face was getting darker and darker. He slammed the table and stood up: "Bullshit!"
As a result, the members of the Galactic Empire quarreled and began to blame each other.
Lian Yi was becoming increasingly impatient and stood up abruptly: "In that case..."
While he was speaking, several members of parliament from small planets were whispering to each other.
Nie Guansheng suddenly took off his boots and started banging them on the table, interrupting their conversation.
Following his action, the other members of the 72nd Army also took off their boots and slammed them against the table.
The Secretary General was so angry at his rude behavior that his face flushed red: "Lian Yi, what do you mean? Is this the attitude and upbringing of the Federation?"
Lian Yi stood there straight: "Alpha is completely insincere. I have reason to suspect that the ceasefire is just a delaying tactic. The root cause is still to provoke civil unrest. Regarding such provocation, if you think this is the attitude of the Federation, then it is!"
Ivan choked. "So what do you want?"
Lian Yi winked at Nie Guansheng and said with a sly grin, "Stop the bullshit! Get out of Gliese, give up your territory, and hand over the weapons you took. Whoever is colluding with you, give me the list!"
Ivan was also angry: "What if I don't?"
Lian Yi turned his head and looked him in the eyes. "Let's be frank. This time, the Federation is cleaning up the mess and taking back what's rightfully theirs. I trust you have no objection to this, right?"
Ivan held his breath and glared at Ethan fiercely. Damn, he is not good at anything but makes trouble. With the evidence in other people's hands, it is difficult to escalate the matter to the next level!
Ethan gave a creepy sneer: "Very good, then fight..."
Ivan shouted angrily: "Shut up!"
The Secretary General of the Galactic Empire was sweating with anxiety. The Federation refused to give in, but he could not let the situation escalate.
The deputy next to the secretary-general quietly sent a message, his eyes lit up instantly, and he waved his hand to make the arrangements.
The old man of the Galactic Empire suddenly came to his senses. Since the young general couldn't get through here, why not start with the new recruits?
Among the avatars of the new recruits that I randomly scanned, Yun Mo's face appeared before my eyes. It was her, a weak girl.
The Secretary-General shook his white hair and said, "Major General Lian, before making a decision, can you please consider the feelings of ordinary soldiers? Do they want peace or war? When a problem can be solved through negotiation, should they pay the price of their lives? What do you think?"
"For example, our young female soldier? How about we hear her thoughts?"
When Nie Guansheng saw the portrait in front of him, he almost laughed out loud.
He slowly put on his boots and said, "Are you sure you want to hear what she thinks?"
The Secretary-General frowned: "You disagree?"
Nie Guansheng shook his head: "No, no, no, as long as you don't regret it, I have no objection."
The Secretary General turned to look at Ivan again: "What about you?"
Ivan had a bad feeling.
The Secretary-General finally found a way out and naturally didn't want to let it go. Before Ivan could respond, he continued, "If you have no objection, then let us first hear about this young lady's desire for peace."
Ivan opened his mouth but finally said nothing. That portrait gave him a familiar feeling, as if he had seen it somewhere.
In this matter, as long as the Federation is willing to make some concessions, it can be successfully resolved. In order to put pressure on the Federation, Gutvis even used live broadcast.
Yun Mo's communication rang, she turned to look at the veteran, and the people gathered around her also looked over.
This is a war zone, and the signal is clearly coming from outside, which is supposed to be blocked. Who's calling? How do I know her frequency?
"Will you answer it?" Yun Mo made a questioning mouth shape.
The old soldier thought for a long time and finally nodded.
Gutves's face came into view. He was slightly plump and looked a little fat. He was not young at all. His silver hair was parted on both sides of his head. He looked kind and his words seemed to be full of selflessness.
"Confederate soldiers?"
Yun Mo suddenly closed her right hand, and the coin that was spinning between her fingers made two "clang" sounds and was held in her palm.
Without a direct answer, Yun Mo asked, "Who are you?"
Gutvis frowned. Her reaction was so emotionless that it seemed to deviate from his initial assumption.
"I am Gutvis, Secretary General of the Galactic Empire. I have something I want to discuss with you."
The soldier saw this and his eyes nearly popped out. "What the hell? Who is he?" How could this person, with his status, condescend to call a mere soldier? And at this sensitive juncture? What was he planning?
Yun Mo's face didn't move: "Oh"
Gutvis's mouth twitched, feeling a little uncomfortable. He planned to take advantage of the information asymmetry and the recruits' confusion about his identity and get straight to the point: "The Federation and Alpha are negotiating, and both sides have reached a preliminary agreement on the war. We randomly selected you, and now we want to listen to your opinions. So, as a soldier on the front lines, what do you think of the current situation?"
Yun Mo played dumb: "What's going on?"
Gutvis gave a brief background introduction and concluded by saying that all parties agreed to listen to the true thoughts of the frontline soldiers, which would serve as an important basis for negotiations between the two sides, so her opinion might be very important.
After allaying her concerns, Gutvis asked, "If it were you, would you be willing to accept the conditions proposed by the Alphas and cease fire?"
Yun Mo asked, "Why me?"
Gutweis said, "Was it randomly selected by the system?"
Yun Mo said, "Randomly picked a weak female soldier? Or a new recruit? Do you think I'm stupid? Or do you think sacrificing a soldier's future to solve a big problem is a meaningful thing? Or do you think that if I say anything here, I won't become the target of public criticism from the Federation?"
"So this is how the Galactic Empire Secretariat's troublemaker is used?"
Gutvis: ...Damn, why is she so difficult?
