Chapter 595, Show Your Value
Wang Mengsong suddenly turned around, stared at Wu Yang, and said grimly:
"Are you threatening me?"
Although he was furious, he was suddenly shocked and even a little annoyed.
It was a bad idea.
At the same time, he also realized that there was no point in doing anything now. If the negotiations failed, the photos would really fall into Paulitos' hands, and nothing he said would clear them.
Even if he took action immediately, killed everyone here, found the photographer, and destroyed the equipment and film, it would be meaningless.
Taking photos secretly, with film, can be copied; it can be converted into digital information, transmitted to a faraway place in an instant, and copied countless times...
Even the alliance doesn't need to do it themselves. As long as the news gets out, Paulitos has many rebel informants planted in this world and they can get the photos back.
The alliance is too shameless, and he is indeed threatened.
But he was not willing to be threatened so easily.
Other thoughts were already running through his mind.
He suddenly attacked and killed the diplomat of the Alliance, then killed Grit, and went back with two heads, and then said that the photos promoted by the Alliance were fake?
It is feasible to a certain extent and there should be a chance to get away with it.
But it's just a trick.
After returning, they must act carefully and may have to cut ties with the Fury. The New World Torch must act independently and cannot obey Fury's orders too much, especially to avoid being summoned or meeting alone, as this could easily lead to accidents.
A bunch of thoughts flashed through my mind in an instant.
Moreover, at this moment, the look he gave towards the two members of the alliance present became more and more dangerous.
Wu Yang's threat made him want to kill her.
But Wu Yang seemed to have not noticed any of this.
She continued, "Of course, you are right to take it as a threat, but that is not the point. You can kill me, but it is difficult to kill Ms. Grit. I am not afraid to tell you that we have made a lot of preparations for this meeting."
"Perhaps you did bring a hundred Space Marines, not far away, but you should not underestimate the Alliance."
"What's more, if you turn the table against me, you will not only face the current crisis, but also lose the hope of survival for the entire regiment."
“Even if the New World Torch and Fury Flame fought extremely smoothly in the Fantasy Moon and defeated the Holy Mercy Lily, so what? This is only a very small part of the alliance’s strength. The Holy Mercy Lily can send another thousand combat nuns, and the Glory Guards can send another ten thousand, not to mention the Phoenix and the Blood Shark…”
"Are you really planning to be buried in Huanyue with the entire New World Torch?"
Wang Mengsong was silent for a moment, then sneered and said, "I don't want to, but you are not leaving me no way to live? Unconditional surrender... lay down all weapons and let you slaughter me. All the New World Torches will be like naked fish and can be slaughtered at will. I will never accept this result! I would rather my soldiers die on the battlefield than watch them being executed like powerless pigs and sheep!"
Wu Yang chuckled: "Unconditional surrender is unconditional surrender, but you think it's a bit too bad."
"Can the Alliance guarantee our safety?"
"The Alliance won't guarantee anything." Wu Yang made this premise first, and then said, "But you can think about it again: Why would the Alliance execute all of you New World Torches who laid down all your weapons and surrendered? Not to mention your value, just keeping you here would cost you a few hundred people's rations?"
Without waiting for Wang Mengsong to speak, Wu Yang continued, "What's more, the Alliance still has some uses for you. Right now, there is one. If you are willing to surrender unconditionally, the first mission of the New World Torch after surrendering is to assist the Holy Lily Sisters to extinguish the Rage."
"You need to change your mindset. Whether New World Torch will perish in the future does depend on the Alliance. But that is why you should seize the opportunity and do your best to prove to the Alliance and Governor Gu that New World Torch should not perish."
"Show your worth, Captain Wang Mengsong."
"Perhaps, what you should consider is not the issue of whether to perish or not, but how the New World Torch can grow more prosperously under the alliance system."
"Please think about the Phoenix Regiment. What were they like thirty years ago? And what are they like now?"
…
Two days later.
In a mountain valley, members of two Space Marine chapters were facing each other about three hundred meters apart.
The New World Torches came out in full force, with all three hundred warriors present.
But despite this, they were still far outnumbered.
Standing opposite them were the orange-red painted Furies, numbering at least six hundred men, twice as many as them.
This was just the number in the plains of the valley. No one knew how many more Fury warriors were hiding in the surrounding mountains.
Two figures walked out from their respective positions.
Paulitos looked at Wang Mengsong and said, "Wang Mengsong, what do you mean?"
"Didn't you invite me here?"
Paulitos had a slight smile on his face. "I wanted to discuss the next strategic situation with you. You shouldn't have brought so many people here. Our situation is very difficult and we may be attacked at any time. We shouldn't gather so many people in one place."
Wang Mengsong spread his hands calmly: "I'm a little scared, Paulitos."
"What are you afraid of?"
"You suddenly asked me to come here without any soldiers or armor. I was really scared. It would be terrible if you had any misunderstandings."
"Are you not afraid now? Do you think having three hundred soldiers standing behind you can make you feel safe?"
"Yes, at least you will be careful about what you do."
"..." After a moment of silence, Paulitos sighed and said, "Why bother? I just want to ask you, two days ago, the New World Torch mobilized about a hundred troops, but I was not informed, and there was no record of any battle to the outside world. I just want to know, what did you do? Why is it necessary for two regiments that have fought side by side and shared weal and woe to confront each other like this now?"
"Two days ago, we just had an internal gathering to discuss some internal affairs of the New World Torch. I am the Chapter Master of the New World Torch. Do I have to report all the affairs of the Chapter to you?"
"Our two families share the same destiny. You should be honest."
"Okay, now I've been honest with you: internal affairs of the Chapter. Now, can we go?"
"...I'm afraid not, Wang Mengsong." Paulitos sighed, "I really don't want to go this far."
Wang Mengsong, who had a solemn expression on his face, suddenly showed an inappropriate smile: "Then I don't need to worry about anything..."
