(Additional update for Ye Siyu from Jaluit Atoll who gave a tip for "God Certification".)
Zhong Kai and his crew returned with Obi-Wan, Luke, and Owen and his wife, but the "Moon-class Cruiser" and the thousands of brothers and sisters on it did not return.
This is also the first warship to be completely destroyed since the establishment of the Light Chaser Fleet. It can no longer be repaired and naturally cannot come back.
Looking at the completely blacked-out names in the battleship slot column on the system panel, Chang Wei sometimes couldn't help but wonder, is it worth saving the lives of a few people at the expense of the lives of the majority?
It’s just like the same questions I asked myself many years ago when I watched the movie “Saving Private Ryan”.
Is it worth it? Really...is it worth it?
This question involves discussions of ethics and morality, and there is no simple answer. Different people may have different opinions.
Some people may believe that saving a few lives is worthwhile because every life is precious and everyone deserves equal respect and protection. From this perspective, even if the lives of the majority are sacrificed, as long as a few lives can be saved, it is a meaningful act.
Others would argue that sacrificing the lives of the majority is not worth it, because the lives of the majority are equally important. From this perspective, protecting and safeguarding the lives and interests of the majority is more worthwhile, because they are more numerous and have a wider impact.
Obviously, the answer to this question depends on one's personal values and morals.
As the fleet's supreme commander, Chang Wei must also realize that ethical and moral issues are often complex and require weighing and thinking among multiple factors and influences. He must never act on impulse or make subjective decisions.
He's not a god, but an ordinary mortal. All he can do is plan the overall strategy, taking into account all possible considerations and implementing preventive measures. Just like a doctor, he can't tell you when tragedy or accidents will strike...
Chang Wei climbed up the platform step by step with a solemn expression, and then delivered a speech to the entire army.
"It is with a heavy heart that I stand before you at this difficult moment. Our fleet has suffered a terrible battle, and we have lost the Moon-class cruiser, as well as many valuable brothers and sisters. Today, I want to express our deepest condolences to them."
"They are the bravest and most selfless warriors of our Lightseeker fleet. They bravely fought to defend our mission, paying the ultimate price for a future filled with hope. Their sacrifice will forever be remembered in our hearts and serve as a driving force for our continued progress."
"We must remember that their sacrifice was not in vain; they shed their blood in advance to overthrow the Empire's rule! Their dedication and sacrifice will forge the fortitude of our fleet and inspire us to forge ahead, to continue pursuing justice and faith, and to complete the revolution of this world!"
"So, at this moment, let us observe a few minutes of silence to remember the comrades we have lost. Let us unite together, support each other, and face the challenges of the future together. No matter how difficult the road ahead, we must remain firm in our faith and never waver, for the sake of those who have left us, so that their sacrifice will not be in vain."
"Lightseekers! Please continue to fight for our mission, inspired by their sacrifices, and strive for the glory they have sown."
After that, the whole army fell silent, everyone bowed their heads and offered their silent condolences.
After a few minutes, the moment of silence ended and everyone returned to their posts and continued to work.
Obi-Wan and Bail Organa, who had watched the entire process unfold, were simply stunned. This was an army unlike anything they had ever seen before! It was as if they witnessed something in them that was hard to explain. If one had to describe it, one could call it the military spirit, or perhaps even faith?
"This is an army that can change the world! With them, the Rebel Alliance will become extremely powerful! Overthrowing the Empire is just around the corner! What do you think, Obi-Wan?" Bail Organa came to Obi-Wan and asked him.
Obi-Wan exhaled, his expression gloomy as he said, "I don't know, but I do know that those people died to save me, Luke, and the others. This alone is enough to make me unable to remain indifferent. The Jedi Creed tells me that I must regain the light and courage I have lost, sweep away the decade of decadence and laziness, and face the darkness with dignity! Face the Empire!"
"I think they...are the 'new hope'! I'm willing to join them in this blood-stained revolution!"
Bail Organa smiled and shook hands firmly with Obi-Wan. "Welcome back, my old friend. It's great to see the Jedi Master who was so full of faith and the embodiment of justice again!"
"Haha, you are still the same as before, just much older."
"Oh, aren't you the same?"
Bail Organa patted Obi-Wan on the shoulder and suddenly changed the subject, asking with concern, "I heard you encountered Darth Vader this time? He was actually Anakin, right?"
At the mention of Anakin, Obi-Wan's eyes became melancholy again.
"Anakin may be dead. The man now is a Sith Lord named Darth Vader. During this confrontation with him, I could feel that the darkness had completely enveloped him. Although I told him that I would try my best to bring him back to the light side, the hope is very slim."
