Mecha and Knife

After the fruitless meeting ended, Tu Yuan went directly to Li Anbang.

Solving problems must be clean and tidy, just like when commanding a battle, the strategic goal must be clear.

This is Tu Yuan's style.

Li Anbang, the only five-star general in the Federation and the supreme military commander of the Alien Defense Counterattack, did not change his expression after listening to what Tu Yuan said about the meeting.

Looking at Tu Yuan, who was considered by many to be the most likely to succeed him, he pondered for a while before speaking.

"Because they're scared?"

"Are you afraid?" Tu Yuan frowned and asked, "You mean, they are afraid that Ji Xinghe will stop the peace talks they want to complete?"

"kindness."

Tu Yuan fell silent.

He also had this kind of conjecture before, but he didn't think Ji Xinghe had this ability.

Not to mention adding the Xinghe team, even adding Han Li, Jackson, and the two ace mecha fighters Qin Tong and Harris who left the Xinghe team later, it is impossible to do this.

But since Li Anbang said so, it means that Ji Xinghe has indeed possessed this ability, or is about to possess such ability.

While Tu Yuan was thinking in silence, Li Anbang explained as if he had heard Tu Yuan's voice.

"You didn't count yourself, you didn't count the power of your Jiaji Galaxy."

Tu Yuan understood instantly, and an inexplicable smile appeared on his face: "So, this is not aimed at Ji Xinghe, but at me?"

"Basically, you have contributed a lot this time." Li Anbang said with some relief: "Regardless of whether the B72 highland will be destroyed by the empire's saturation strike in the future, your decision this time is enough for you to be promoted to the rank of general." .”

When he first came to Alien Star, Tu Yuan was the rank of major general, and he was the youngest general in the entire federation. In less than a year, he was promoted to lieutenant general.

It's only been more than a year now, and he has another chance to be promoted to general, which can be said to be the promotion of the line of fire.

"not enough."

Tu Yuan knew his situation and the common sense in the army, so he put away the smile on his face.

"If I can be promoted to general because of this command, the biggest reason must be to prepare for me to take over your squad... I see, they don't want me to take over your squad, and they don't want people from the Longzhou system to continue to be the supreme commander .”

Li Anbang nodded.

"The candidate recommended by Yingzhou is Kentweiss, a three-star general. If you only look at military rank, you can't compare with him for the time being."

"Kentwiss?"

When Tu Yuan heard the name, his tone was very surprised: "Is there no one available for them? They even recommended that idiot Kent Weiss. Cough!"

Li Anbang glanced at Tu Yuan and asked Tu Yuan to cover up his embarrassment with a dry cough.

"Kentweiss is not stupid. He really can't compare with you in commanding battles, but you should be very clear that as long as you can know people and use them well, the supreme commander can even know nothing. In this regard, Kentweiss is much stronger than you."

Tu Yuan was dissatisfied: "Know people and make good use of them? Why didn't he find someone like Ji Xinghe?"

Li Anbang frowned: "Didn't you always deny that you are Ji Xinghe's Bole?"

"That's talking to the outside world. You have to be more reserved. I have to tell you the truth."

Tu Yuan laughed: "At that time, I went to fish Ji Xinghe out of the detention center, let him take the exam and then come to Yixing. I guess it will become the most proud thing in my life."

"Better prouder than winning this war?"

"Yes, because Ji Xinghe must have been there when we won this war, and he must be able to make incomparable feats."

"Then why, I heard that your relationship with Ji Xinghe is not very good?"

"Rumors are all rumors, General, can we not believe in rumors and not spread them?"

Tu Yuan, who is in his early forties, is very energetic in front of Li Anbang, who is almost seventy years old.

Li Anbang pondered for a moment, then spoke.

"I don't know what you think, let me tell you what I think, as a reference for you, and then you decide what to do."

"General, are you not interfering in this matter?"

"I'm about to retire and I've got so much meddling that my veto is useless."

"Let's leave it to Kentwiss."

Li Anbang looked at Tu Yuan helplessly: "You don't really think that there is only one candidate for them, do you? Or do you really think that Longzhou will only recommend you to take over my class?"

"It's different, General. It doesn't matter whether I take over or not, but Kentweiss must not take over, because he is too deeply involved with Yingzhou's capital. Political factors have already made us very tired. I don't want to Tens of millions of federal soldiers, and then accept the influence of capital."

"I have blocked it for sixteen years. If you don't want to, you'd better sit in my position and continue to block it."

"..."

Tu Yuan didn't respond, because it was difficult, it was not something that he and Li Anbang could decide, and it was not something that Longzhou could decide.

Li Anbang didn't press the question, but talked about the business.

"I am the main fighter, you are the main fighter, the vast majority of people in Longzhou are the main fighter, we all want to end this war in this generation, just like... Ji Xinghe, but with his ideas There is a fundamental difference."

"There is only one real reason why we want to fight. Even if the fight is riddled with holes, as long as we win, we will be able to beat the past. We have proved this truth more than once."

"But the vast majority of people in Yingzhou are peacemakers. It can also be said that except for the vast majority of people in Longzhou and Xiongzhou, most of the rest of the Federation are peacemakers."

"Their reason is that the economy of the Federation is on the verge of collapse, and we can maintain the current level of war investment, but as the distance between the alien star and the blue star gets closer, the empire will inevitably invest more power than before. .”

"We spend more and the economy crashes and we lose. We don't spend more and we lose as well."

"They believe that the empire is not suffering from scabies. As long as there is a period of peace and enough time to recuperate, we can win the empire. No matter how bad it is, we can coexist peacefully with the empire..."

Tu Yuan, who was listening carefully, couldn't help but sneer in his heart: Ha ha.

Li Anbang couldn't hear him, so he continued.

"Under this premise, they don't want to see Ji Xinghe and the Xinghe team make great achievements under your command, because this will increase your chances of taking over. At the same time, Ji Xinghe's influence will become bigger and bigger, and the Xinghe team It will become stronger and stronger, with the attitude Ji Xinghe showed before, they don't want to let it go."

"Tang Qiao is a member of Kentweiss. As long as Ji Xinghe and the Xinghe team are under your command for a day, he will always trouble you. And Ji Xinghe's privilege itself is indeed open to question, and they are very accurate."

"If this is not enough, they will disclose the existence of Ji Rong Xinyue on Azure Star, and use public opinion to get Ji Rong Xinyue to return to Azure Star. At that time, Ji Xinghe will have to go back."

"However, they won't use it until four months later. At that time, Ji Rong Xinyue has completed the second stage of treatment. As long as Ji Xinghe doesn't take him back, they will definitely use it. They know that Ji Xinghe is reluctant." Ji Rong Xinyue, don't worry about Ji Rong Xinyue."

"Need I remind you, what public opinion reasons will they use to get Ji Rong Xinyue back?"

Tu Yuan shook his head, he knew very well that the reason of those people must be: for the good of Ji Rong and Xinyue.

"If you can defeat these two tricks, then they will have a third trick, the power of qi."

Li Anbang paused for a moment before continuing.

"Prolonging life and curing terminal illnesses are the reasons why those capitalists started to go crazy regardless of the war, because the rich are most afraid of death."

"Currently, the Federation has not released information about Qi to the public. Even in the military, only a handful of people know about it. But in order to achieve their goals, they will choose to disclose it to the entire Federation."

"They will let all terminally ill people see their chances of being cured. This is of course a lie. But the hope of living will force those people to participate in forcing us to negotiate peace with the empire, and participate in forcing Ji Xinghe to study in the empire The power of Qi."

"Some orangutans and monkeys in the empire also want peace talks. Perhaps they have already started plotting with them. Even if the emperor of the empire will not give Ji Xinghe the so-called gift, they and they will tell everyone that the emperor of the empire is willing to .”

"Tu Yuan, don't doubt their despicability, and don't doubt their unscrupulous means to achieve their goals."

They couldn't tell the difference from them, but Tu Yuan understood.

He thinks more.

If Ji Xinghe, who has become a legendary hero, is unwilling to go to the empire to learn the power of qi, he will be beaten and scolded by many people within a few days.

If Ji Xinghe went away, but the emperor of the empire did not give him such power, but let Ji Xinghe come back alive, countless people would be disappointed with Ji Xinghe.

They will think that Ji Xinghe has missed the only opportunity for human beings, but they don't think about whether this opportunity belongs to human beings or not.

Ji Xinghe, who is already on the blue sky, will become insignificant dust again in front of the power of those capitals.

Li Anbang didn't say anything more, but Tu Yuan knew it all.

For example, the impact of neural link technology, when Ji Xinghe's combat effectiveness is no longer the brave champion/sub-three army, Ji Xinghe's influence among the federal mecha fighters will also decline.

Only with the help of the Xinghe team, Han Li, Jackson and others, can Ji Xinghe realize the same wish as Tu Yuan?

After giving Tu Yuan some time to think, Li Anbang asked, "What do you think?"

Tu Yuan didn't answer, but asked, "What about Li Yuanba?"

Li Anbang shook his head slightly.

"He is the flag of the Federation and the flag of Longzhou. You can't use it, and they can't move it either."

Tu Yuan smiled.

"Then I can only hope that Ji Xinghe can become another banner of the Federation and Longzhou."

Li Anbang noticed that what Tu Yuan said was 'putting hope on'.

"Decided?"

"Decided."

On that day, Han Li and the Xinghe team, who had just been transferred to the No. 6 base theater, were no longer under Tu Yuan's command sequence.

This did not affect their participation in the defense of the No. 6 base, but there were changes in essence that they did not understand.

And the real change, it can even be said that it is an unprecedented change in the history of the federation.

In a certain area of ​​the alien planet that was not in the 24-hour focus of the high-altitude reconnaissance satellite, an individual starship that was included in the battle damage sequence slowly landed with a passenger on board.

And where it landed, there were six imperial mechs and a diamond-shaped metal body.

After confirming that it was not a federal trap, the Imperial Mecha activated the diamond-shaped metal body, and a miniaturized jump gate appeared.

The pilot of the individual starship, looking nervously at the staggering passengers, walked towards the jump gate in protective clothing, and then the jump gate was closed.

Only he and his individual starship, six Imperial mechs and a diamond-shaped metal body were left at the scene.

The wait was long. In fact, it only took half an hour before the leap gate opened again.

The passenger, who was still staggering just now, rushed out of the jump gate as if walking with the wind, jumped up to a height of three meters, and jumped directly into the cockpit of the individual starship.

The Imperial Mech spoke indifferently.

"coordinate."

The individual starship driver gave the coordinates of a foreign planet's surface, and drove the individual starship away with his only passenger.

The six imperial mechs on the ground began to transfer with their diamond-shaped metal bodies, and during their transfer, two things happened.

A spaceship that does not belong to the federal military sequence quietly picked up the individual starship, began to conduct a medical examination on the passenger, and destroyed the individual starship and its driver. .

Aida Kang, who was on the battlefield of the Gods Mountain, opened the jump gate to the empire, and then made a phone call.

"Your Majesty, I have obtained the coordinates of the Federation's No. 5 base, and the error will not exceed two kilometers. I need additional troops and authorization to use nuclear weapons, because Ji Xinghe is at the No. 5 base."
