Take StarCraft with You
Chapter 1076: The Smoke of Congress (middle)
At the end of the video, there is a string of numbers-the number of deaths, the number of wounded, the number of property losses, the number of soldiers killed in each battle, the number of sunken warships, the number of seriously injured soldiers after the Dortmund tragedy...
If it is placed in countries such as the Monya Empire and the Sulu Empire, the numbers above are just numbers, and they are of little significance at all. As long as the officials are not responsible for these figures, as long as these figures do not exceed the red line drawn by their superiors, they will not care... No, if they are performers, they will even turn bad things into good things. Rejuvenate the country.
But here... Lu Yuankui stood up, Larry Cook stood up, Peggy Gasol stood up, and even Terry Ferdinand calmed down his anger, stood up slowly, pursing his lower lip. Silent, I don't know if I think of my son who died young, or feel sorry for the young people as an old man.
Tomlinson Daller said: "The facts have proved that we were wrong. The cost of taking back the Tentuk star system and the Mubarak star system is too great. Victory and dignity can never heal the pain caused by war. The lives of 10,000 people are exchanged for the 7 barren star systems. Is it worth it? Is the existence of the Star Alliance based on the land or the people?"
"Yes, we regret it... Even General David Conan, who has been in the main battle, has a lot of regrets and guilt. You might think that he is old, afraid of death, and afraid of fighting with Luc Steele. It's like a corpse star sea. But I still want to ask you who are also the main battle... Seeing these pictures, these blood-stained numbers, do you regret it?"
Terry Ferdinand said: "There are things that you know will bring sacrifices, but they must be done."
"Yeah... Some things know that they will bring sacrifices, but they must be done... This is what some people call a man's romance." Tomlinson Daller gave a self-deprecating smile and waved at Les Edinan. Wave.
Mr. Secretary of State pressed the button on the touch panel of the conference table, and the light from the holographic projection device changed. The rows of shocking numbers disappeared and turned into a face...a face with a mask.
"We have discussed for a long time, and struggled for a long time, but when all hope has turned into despair, betrayal may be our only choice... It is always easier to deal with a good person than with a wicked person. There is no denying that this is despicable and very damaging. People are disgusting, but we have no choice."
When Adam Oliver said this, the masked man in the picture began to speak. The content is very simple, asking the Star Alliance government to make a choice between them and Tang Fang.
If they choose the Tang side, the Anubis Legion will help the Monya Empire continue to strike against the Star Covenant, and it will not be a head-on battle on the frontline battlefield, but will continue to create the tragedy that occurred in Dortmund and bring more civilians. Died unfavorably.
The masked man did not lie, because it was under the gaze of him and Dong Bailey that the battleship belonging to the Deep Submersible fleet set fire once and sank the paralyzed Dawn Light.
Also under the gaze of the Masked Man and Dong Bailey, the battleships of the Deep Submersible Fleet dropped massive nuclear bombs towards the aquamarine planet on the big screen, allowing the fire to erode the beautiful bead. Although I could not hear the explosion, nor could I see the terrifying storm set off by the shock wave, let alone a charred corpse, it was clear what kind of tragic scene would appear on the ground after a little thought.
Then there is the huge aircraft carrier of the Anubis Corps over 1.5 kilometers, and the fleet that is exactly the same as the two semi-remains warships under Tang Fang... What is their combat effectiveness, what happened in the no man's land battlefield has been proved.
The masked man told them that with Tang Fang's help, they could win the battle on the front line, but they could not save their citizens. The Anubis Legion didn't care whether the Monya Empire won or lost in this war, they only cared whether Captain Tang was alive or dead.
If the Star Covenant government chooses the Anubis Legion and joins forces to kill the Tang side, then they will force Kirklaf I to the negotiating table and promise to return the Tentuk Star System and Mubarak Star System to the Star Covenant, and It will also help the Star Alliance wipe out the Deep Submersible fleet, allowing the Liberal Party to gain a good reputation and continue to govern.
"So, we have no choice." Adam Oliver's words were full of helplessness and melancholy: "What can we do even if we know that those people are a bunch of hooligans? The cost of offending a hooligan is much greater than the cost of offending a good person. Many, we seem to be superior, seem to have absolute power, but who can understand our helplessness?"
"In this war, what we want is sovereign integrity and national dignity, rather than hundreds of millions of citizens losing their lives for those desolate lands."
Republican representative Larry Cook, who has not spoken, said: "Old man, if someone threatens you to betray your friend with a knife holder on your neck, you will definitely say, "This is absolutely impossible, you just kill me." But when that person puts the knife on your family’s neck, what choice do you make? Save your family or betray your friend?"
Lu Yuankui said: "Because of our deep love for this country and people, we have no choice but to choose the former in terms of national interests and personal feelings. I believe you can understand that this kind of problem is not right or wrong. It doesn't matter whether justice or evil...just like Lieutenant General Dalton Evelyn, he is our hero. You are not, and Tang Fang is not counted."
"Dalton Evelyn is the hero of this country...According to Tang Fang's choice, he may become a national sinner with a lot of infamy, or he may lie quietly in the grave and be an unsung hero. ."
The anger on Terry Ferdinand’s face gradually disappeared, and a trace of wrathful struggle appeared in his eyes: "So you all know this, only I am kept in the dark?"
Lu Yuankui and Larry Cook did not speak, which often represents acquiescence. Even if they just lied to Terry Ferdinand, saying that they didn't know about it, it was all done by the Liberal Party.
Peggy Gasol took the conversation and said: "Take a step back, even if there is no pressure from the Anubis Legion. Tang has helped the Star Alliance win one victory after another, and the reputation among the people is getting higher and higher. How will becoming a sage like a person affect the Star League society?"
"He is the leader of the Garcia Rebellion. He is destined to fight the Stewart family to the end. Only one of the two sides can survive this confrontation. However, from the perspective of the interests of the Star Alliance, we only hope that the Monya Empire and the Sulu Empire will accept defeat. , Give us back the territories that occupied us, let the Star Alliance obtain sovereignty and integrity, and let the people stand upright... This shows that there is some gap between us and Tang’s goals, but as Tang’s help to the Star Alliance becomes more and more People’s trust in him is getting stronger and stronger, and they gradually feel that they owe him a lot. Coupled with the chain effect of the Dortmund tragedy, the people’s psychology has begun to get out of control, and the hatred of the Monya Empire and the Sulu Empire has grown from the bud to Towering trees, once Tang decides to send troops to the Monya Empire in the future, how should the Star Alliance react? Pretend not to see it? We agree, and the people will not agree. But if we fully support Tang, God knows that Kirklaf is here. There is no guarantee that the Dortmund tragedy will happen again after the time is running out."
"We don't know if Tang Fang did it deliberately, whether it was intentional or unintentional. The current situation is that he has kidnapped the national will with the influence of his actions. The Anubis Army has kidnapped national lives. In this situation, if you are replaced by you, what choice will you make? The people can be blind and emotional, but those of us who hold power and determine the country’s future direction cannot."
"In countries like the Monya Empire and the Sulu Empire, power is more a symbol of wealth, women, and overbearing lawlessness. But in the Star League, power is more of a responsibility. Patriotic... these two words are easy to say , But to really do it, sometimes it’s harder than stab yourself."
Terry Ferdinand did not expect that they could find so many excuses to justify themselves, and said that the betrayal was so great and selfless. However, he found that he could not find a reason to refute them, and even if he did, he seemed so pale and weak in the face of national justice.
He came here as soon as possible after he learned that the Star Alliance government had betrayed Tang Fang. There was not much time for him to think about the secret behind this incident. He thinks he is for this country, and Tomlinson Daller and others also think they are for this country.
All for the better tomorrow of this country, but chose two diametrically opposite paths.
This reminded him of his treatment of his son. He said that he should respect his children's wishes. Since he intends to work for the country, he should fight the enemy like a man, and the father will support you behind his back. However, the child's mother obstructed in every possible way, even at the mercy of hurting herself, so that her son could stay by her side.
They are all good for the children, but they have made completely different choices. Later... the child died on the battlefield, and later... his wife also left him, leaving him to live alone.
He often wondered if this was God's punishment for him.
Facing the scene before him, he went back to the past in a daze, watching his child look at him with trust and admiration, waiting for him to give advice from his father.
The difference is that it was the child's mother who ran counter to him back then, and now it is the pillar of the country who ran counter to him.
He loves his son and loves this country.
The crutches slid to the ground and made a very harsh sound. Terry Ferdinand shook his head slightly: "I understand your choice, but... if it was me, I would choose Tang Fang."
Adam Oliver asked him what choice he would make, Tomlinson Dall asked him what choice he would make, Peggy Gasol asked him what choice he would make, and even Larry Cook and Lu Yuankui also asked What choice does he make.
After listening to so many explanations, so many talks, and so many inner words, he said to the people present: "I choose Tang Fang."
The steadfastness of the old man does not need to be impassioned or sonorous, just speak and then answer the question.
Secretary of State Reis Addinan is a short-tempered man. He does not understand that Tomlinson Daller and Adam Oliver have opened their hearts to abandon the hostility brought about by the Liberal Party and the Republican Party for many years, and sincerely express their thoughts. Why is Terry Ferdinand still so stubborn.
This old man has always put the interests of the people on his lips. The media has reported on the touching stories of Congressman Terry and his son many times, emphasizing that the old man’s loyalty to the country is beyond doubt, but today he has broken past conventions in the choice between the country and the Tang. Standing on Tang's side, this is really hard to understand.
"Mr. Terry, you are an old man in the parliament. I am very grateful for your contributions to the Star Alliance over the years, and I am convinced that you are a person who puts national interests first. But today I have this idea. Shake, there is reason to believe that you have become Tang Fang’s agent...I doubt that the kid has used any means to change you and stop focusing on the country, or you have lost your rational view of the problem due to physical reasons. Ability."
What Les Adinan said was not ugly, but it was not good either. It was clear that he was questioning Terry Ferdinand’s position and suspected that the old man had been bought by Tang Fang and became the agent of interest for Morningstar to cast in the Star League politics. After all, the transactions between Tang Fang and the Star Alliance government were all made by him and actively facilitated them.
Mr. Secretary of State’s remarks expressed the true thoughts of everyone present. Even the Republican congressman who had always trusted Terry Ferdinand looked at him suspiciously, hoping that the old man could give a reasonable explanation for today’s abnormal behavior.
Why did the old man who spent his whole life on national construction ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ even send his own flesh and blood to the battlefield choose the latter?
Terry Ferdinand did not rush to defend. He used his trembling fingers to click on the desktop control panel to connect the personal mobile video device to the projection equipment in the room, and finally opened the projection program.
The picture suspended in the air changed, and the entire conference room dimmed. Laxsis and the central starport that was "aided by" by the Star Alliance Navy in high-altitude orbit appeared in front of everyone, and you could see fish from farther away. Engineering ships shuttled around. After a few breaths, a huge battleship left the virtual space with a dazzling flash, and appeared not far from the central military port, like a huge flying centipede walking through the dark.
Several Republican congressmen around the old man thought the ship was a bit familiar, as if they had seen it somewhere. On the other hand, Adam Oliver, Tomlinson Daller and the others changed their faces and their eyes were full of shock.
Soon after the appearance of the Hades-class aircraft carrier, the camera shifted, and the figure of the Fallen Angel appeared near the pier at some unknown time, and then slowly entered the berth, and lined up with a Minotaur-class battle cruiser. In the past few breaths, the Seraph, Morning Star, and Right Angel...have appeared in the sky of the Delar star system one after another. (To be continued.)
