Him and their stars

Such a scene was certainly terrifying, but when Summers led his team and left New Port Arthur, the overall situation in the galaxy was still calm. It was indeed more than ten hours later when this planet, which had not been burned by the flames of war, was surrounded by the overwhelming fleet of the empire.

Also still in peace and untouched by the flames of war, are the seven major star regions of the Blue Star Community, as well as the earth, which has always been extremely peaceful.

In such a peaceful environment, the cabinet meeting representing the overall strategic direction of the entire community can of course be held on Earth on time.

"Okay, okay, gentlemen and ministers, please be quiet. Our topic has gone too far." President Nishita wiped the screen of his personal terminal and wiped out the half-spent crocodile stick. Turned it off and took a tactical sip of tea.

Then, a trace of imperceptible confusion flashed across his face: "By the way, what were we discussing just now?"

"We are discussing whether sand people will get the epigastric virus if they eat grilled crocodiles? Then we can consider whether sand crocodile breeding can be launched in Xinyumen." Vice President Hierro said.

"Ah, yes, the sand crocodile breeding industry can add an animal husbandry industry adapted to local conditions to Xinyumen, increase the income of sand people and herdsmen, and stabilize people's hearts... No, this is not what we were talking about at the beginning!" The president clapped hard. He patted the table, which finally made the scene where the whispers were still a little normal.

All the big shots at the scene, who could make the earth tremble by stomping their feet, all showed embarrassing but polite smiles and bowed their heads to apologize to the president.

It can be seen that as a wartime leader and an iron-fisted leader, his control over the cabinet and Congress still seems to exist, but if you think about it carefully, his red-faced actions of banging the table and drumming are getting worse. More and more.

"Actually, we are discussing the defense issues of Xinyumen." Chairman of the National Defense Committee Maxer said.

"Yes, that's it." President Nishita seemed to have just come to his senses and was a little hurriedly adjusting the information on his terminal. Fortunately, Yang Mingzhao, who had been waiting next to him, quickly sent his terminal over, and there was a clear form with comments and key points on it.

"Yes, the defense of New Yumen." The president read the report at a glance: "So far, the troops stationed in New Yumen include the 10th Marine Division, the newly reorganized 39th Marine Division, and the 12th Marine Division. A defense brigade and three robotic special operations battalions with 20,000 tactical robots. They are doing a really good job. Look, I think General Carter is qualified to serve as the chief of staff, right?

Vice President Hierro nodded, but still said with regret: "However, the front line of New Yumen is still inseparable from Chief Carter. Therefore, we should choose a new chief of staff."

By the way, the current cabinet chairman and ministers belatedly remembered that one of the proposals at this meeting was to decide on the candidate for the chief of general staff.

Vice President Hierro paused and then said: "In order not to affect the war zone operations, of course we cannot choose from the front-line war zone commanders. In fact, everyone also understands that the war has reached this point, and the front-line war zone commanders already have It has a lot of autonomy. The so-called chief of general staff only serves to coordinate work. "

President Nishita nodded with a clear face: "It's important, but not that important."

The vice president nodded with understanding.

A Minister A said: "The last Chief of General Staff was General Almond. He took the blame and resigned after the war broke out. After that, the work of the General Staff was actually represented by the Military Command, and later Marshal Ferragut. Agent."

A Minister B also said: "Now, the Solar System Fleet has also been rebuilt. Marshal Ferragut is not only the deputy minister of military orders, but also the commander of the fleet. Someone needs to share the responsibility."

Chairman Xiaona of the Internal Affairs and Public Security Committee said: "Then, why not listen to the opinions of the parties involved? Marshals, what do you think?"

This time, the two top officers of the uniform team, Marshal Paris and Marshal Ferragu, also had a seat in the conference room. After all, it is a very high-level strategic decision-making meeting. If there are no people from the uniform team present, it will seem too Caotai team.

However, the two old marshals, who were over a hundred and sixty years old in total, looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

In fact, these two people didn't like each other very early on. After all, one is a performance sect who started from the bottom, the other is a nepotism who started out as a cook, the other is a veteran of the War of Independence, and the other is an inner-class benefactor. From every aspect, they are all born. enemy.

However, in such an environment full of insects, the two old soldiers actually had a sense of happiness that they could hug each other for warmth. This was probably a kind of fate.

Anyway, this guy also participated in the Battle of the High Seas. Regardless of his achievements, at least he didn't cause any trouble. This guy is also a veteran, so he is more reliable than these politicians. After all, we are all comrades in arms, so we should have basic trust from you.

Thinking of this, Marshal Paris still winked at Marshal Ferragu expectantly.

Marshal Ferragut immediately understood and said loudly: "The Military Command cannot interfere in important personnel issues. The National Defense Committee should make the decision."

What I mean is, let you recommend yourself! Marshal Paris was so angry that he almost lost his temper.

Sure enough, Mao Yuanzuo's cook can't have any hope for such a person!

Vice President Hierro didn't seem to be satisfied either. His tone and expression were not very polite: "We will make the decision. That's why, Marshal, we have to seek your opinion. The choice of the Chief of General Staff is very important."

You just seemed to have said that what the Chief of General Staff is doing now is actually theater coordination work, which is not that important.

Marshal Ferragut's simple and honest face showed struggle and distress, as if "I really don't understand anything." He struggled for a full half minute before saying: "The auxiliary work done by the Staff Department to support the Military Command Headquarters is still based on the opinions of Chief Paris."

"The army obeys all arrangements of the government." The old marshal's answer was very official. He has never been so official in his life, which is really sad when he thinks about it.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene seemed a bit stiff, President Nishita suddenly put down his terminal. "Personnel issues are indeed important. However, this was not the issue we discussed at the beginning."

"Isn't it this?" Vice President Hierro looked shocked.

"Of course not." The president said with certainty.

Before the two people fell into a loop, Chairman Xiaona said: "Actually, it was about the formation of the local fleet at the beginning. The two God-class ships have been stranded in Nantianmen for a long time."

"In the end, we decided to bring one ship back." The president suddenly realized and slapped the table: "Marshal Ferragut, the Home Fleet has another big ship. The Odin can be the new flagship of the Home Fleet. ”

Marshal Ferragut forced out a grateful smile and closed his mouth a few times.

I want to offend brother Yu Lian to death. Marshal Paris heard the other party whispering so quietly.

"The Athena is still part of the general reserve force and is under the unified command of Marshal Bonaparte." Vice President Hierro said.

"That's it." President Nishita agreed.

It is difficult for the two to reach a consensus, but occasionally there is a tacit understanding.

Minister of Labor Bai Yantang and Minister of Women and Children's Rights Jessica Yang looked at each other. Just as they were about to say something, Chairman Xiaona already said expressionlessly: "Before, it was about the battle situation at Fortress Seide. Sylvie Commanders Ste and Yu Lian both believe that considering that the number of Titan ships currently deployed by the Empire in Said has reached the third level, the pressure is increasing. "

"What about the reality? What about the intelligence community's assessment?" the president asked.

"The pressure is indeed not small. However, our first two meetings also included aspects." Chairman Xiaona said.

"There will be a war on the front line. Yes, I know it won't end that easily." President Nishita sighed. His expression seemed calm, and sighing was a natural reaction, but it vaguely contained some deep-seated panic and sadness.

Mr. Bai hoped that he didn't think too much.

But then again, how did our topic get so far afield? Mr. Bai suddenly discovered that as the war situation stabilized, the atmosphere of the highest-level cabinet meetings seemed more and more like a dragon gate array. The same is true for the Congress on the other side, which is moving in the direction of scolding people in the vegetable market.

Is this because everyone is becoming more and more slack, or is the dominance of the highest decision-making body declining significantly?

"So all of us are fulfilling our duties and doing our best. Most of the recruits who have completed the training have been sent to the far shore theater." Chairman Maxer said.

"Yes, yes, this has even affected the reconstruction of the domestic fleet." The Chairman of the Shipping Management Committee smiled apologetically at Marshal Ferragut: "For this point, Chief Ferragut has paid the most."

I have never felt this way! Don't add drama to me! Marshal Ferragut began to feel restless.

"We do our best and must trust the frontline officers," Vice President Hierro said.

"The vice president is right!" President Nishita gave a tacit compliment, and then asked: "So, it is impossible for the rest of the fleet... to let the main force of Said's fleet take the initiative, right? ?”

He seemed to have mentioned the Yulian fleet just now, right? Everyone heard the president's slip of the tongue, but they didn't know if it was a real slip of the tongue, so they had no choice but to not hear it at the time.

Then, the Chairman of the National Defense Committee and the two marshals, who together were almost 250 years old, shook their heads vigorously with the same amplitude.

"There is absolutely no such possibility." Marshal Paris shook his head stiffly, and his words became even stiffer: "Your Excellency, you cannot do what Emperor Xuanzong did!"

Vice President Hierro also said: "After all, there are already three Titans on the front line. Even if the New Independence is restarted, the gap in combat power will be too big."

President Nishita was dissatisfied: "You all have too little confidence in me. I am a rational democratically elected head of state, a loving husband and a loving father and a filial son, not an old feudal emperor who collects ashes. This kind of thing is only possible. Taking place in the evil feudal galactic empire!"

Everyone applauded. Although these words are suspected of humiliating the national character, it is still a war period. If you don't humiliate yourself at this time, you will have no chance in the future.

Even several Co-Prosperity Party bosses, including Vice President Hierro, felt a little unethical excitement at this time.

Then, President Nihita said: "Then, let the Sede frontline give up the plan of taking the initiative to attack. Tell the soldiers that as long as we hold on firmly, there will be a way!"

Chairman of the Defense Committee of Maxell added: "We have made such an analysis... If we can repel the Empire's attack again in the defense of China in Fortress Sai, and cause them losses like the Great Ocean or Blood Gate, or destroy a Titan ship and cause large-scale casualties to the Star Knights, we will definitely be able to force the Galactic Empire to the negotiation table!"

"Yes, this must be our most difficult battle, but it is also our last battle!" Nishita said loudly: "The Empire will understand the courage and will of the people of Earth! From now on, the Dragon Kings will put away all their ambitions, tremble and withdraw their claws, and recognize that we are an independent and powerful country!"

"We will also definitely restart the Fragrant Channel Project! The development of the Dawn Nebula and the development of the New World will enter the real formal stage! The Kunlun Hotel in New Lushun can definitely be built!" Vice President Yero said in a louder voice.

The President glared at the Vice President without leaving a trace, but said nothing.

So, he is still the magnanimous leader, the head of the multi-party coalition government, and the magnanimous big brother.

At this moment, the cabinet members couldn't help but cheer and applaud.

They still believe that the so-called all-out attack that the empire is about to launch will be completely resolved under the fierce resistance of the Dawn Dragon. Just like the hot summer is gone, the comfortable autumn is back.

They firmly believe that the stable, peaceful, and happy days will still come.

Even Mr. Bai and Jessica Yang of the Pioneer Party were a little imaginative for a while. Although they are very pragmatic, facing this protracted war, they will inevitably feel tired or even desperate.

At this time, all the light of hope is precious. Even if it is just an illusion of light.

However, the experienced old minister finally thought of those examples of extreme joy and sorrow, and couldn't help but whispered: "Will it be so smooth?"

Jessica Yang of course heard the old man's words, and almost without hesitation, she said firmly: "We will win."

"..."

"I'm making a wish." The young female minister laughed lightly and lowered her voice: "After all, I haven't seen my husband for two years, and I am also looking forward to the end of the war! But..."

"But?"

"We will win. Although it may not be as smooth as the president said, we will definitely win!" Minister Jessica said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Young people are really amazing, the future is yours. Minister Bai was about to say this when he saw a scene that surprised him-Marshal Paris, who was sitting opposite him and was of the same age as him, had obvious hesitation on his face.

Such a veteran of the War of Independence, a real iron man, would also hesitate and struggle like this?

Mr. Bai Yantang's face sank, and he suddenly felt that the situation was a little bad. But then, Marshal Paris secretly patted Ferragu's back with his palm, with such force that it was almost like a beating. Of course, the latter's obesity would not cause any harm. However, his face turned blue and red, as if his internal organs were all turned upside down.

Marshal Ferragu's struggle between heaven and man still had time. He also opened a terminal and called up the star map: "My lords, the General Staff has put forward a very bold idea. I think it is still necessary to explore it and discuss the feasibility of the follow-up."

Marshal Paris looked at his colleague whom he never liked, and a trace of admiration and emotion flashed in his eyes.
