Eight Hundred and Sixty-Six: Miracle (Little Spirit Girl and Shi Bi+)
866: Miracle (Little Spirit Girl and Shibi+)
"Ling Xiao!" The third marshal's face suddenly became serious and he shouted: "Watch your attitude!"
"What more attitude do you want? While our soldiers did not give up hope, fought bravely, and believed that our country and our own army would rescue us, we army commanders are here talking coldly about giving up?" Ling Xiao stood up suddenly and said angrily, "Marshal Yang, please tell me, how else can I speak?"
"Ling Xiao, am I willing to give up those 280 million soldiers and civilians?" The third marshal also became angry, "I am the third marshal of the Chinese Federation. I am not only responsible for the lives of those 280 million soldiers and civilians, but also for the lives of countless Responsible for the lives of the soldiers who rescued Cape Star.”
The atmosphere of the entire meeting suddenly became condensed. The reporters outside who saw this scene couldn't help but hold their breath and wait for the next development.
At this time, the Third Marshal picked up the information on the table and slammed it down, making a loud snap, and said loudly: "The intelligence system lurking in Hylia has cost the lives of hundreds of intelligence personnel. They sacrificed their lives for the country and worked hard to convey this information. Isn’t it because they don’t want more soldiers from the Federation to die on Cape Star? Do you, Ling Xiao, want the lives of hundreds of millions of soldiers for your own selfish desires? Will life continue to fill the bottomless pit of Cape Star that has no hope at all?”
"Private desire? Saving people? If this is selfish desire, then I, Ling Xiao, am willing to be a soldier with blood and emotions, rather than a cold-blooded politician who sits in a high position and treats the soldiers below as pawns and data that can be discarded at will. !" Ling Xiao said with a cold face, showing no signs of weakness. This was also his true inner thought, even if Ling Lan was not among the trapped warriors on Haijiao Star. He would not agree to this proposal. The word "voluntarily give up" did not exist in his dictionary.
As soon as these words came out, the younger and enthusiastic reporters in the conference hall excitedly applauded Ling Xiao. If everything the Third Marshal said turns out to be true, it will indeed save the lives of hundreds of millions of federal soldiers who are reinforcing Cape Star. But deep in their hearts. But they don't want to accept this. They still hold on to hope, especially now that there are soldiers resisting on the Cape Star. Maybe a miracle will happen. Before everything is settled, it is too cold-blooded to abandon the 280 million soldiers and civilians of Cape Star. As General Ling Xiao said.
"Ling Xiao!" The Third Marshal pointed at Ling Xiao angrily. I almost fainted. Ling Xiao was clearly trying to save his son, yet he spoke so grandly. It seems like he is the only good guy and they are all evil sinners. It is really shameful...
"Marshal Yang, it's just as the information says. Ninety-nine percent of the bases on Cape Star have been captured, but one percent of the bases are still fighting. They are eagerly waiting for our military to send troops for rescue. ! As long as there is still a chance, our military cannot give up on them! We cannot let the hearts of those soldiers who have fought bravely for the Federation and put their trust in us be cold.
"Ling Xiao,
Please wake up! "The Third Marshal snapped the case again and shouted angrily, "Do you think the remaining bases in Hylia can continue to resist for at least three more weeks? If Hylia obtains the ownership of Cape Star before our reinforcements arrive at Cape Star, once the reinforcements enter the Cape Star domain, they can be regarded as invaders. Hylia has the right to use the ultimate weapon of god-level masters against them. I will reinforce the army to kill you. You are a god-level master. You know very well how terrifying the god-level mechas are. Once the god-level masters appear, let alone a hundred fleets, even if it is five or ten times larger, there will still be no return. "
"It's not that I don't feel sorry for the nearly 300 million soldiers and civilians of Cape Star. However, we can't act emotionally. We must analyze it calmly. We know clearly what the result will be in a month, but sending reinforcements will lead to death. This is not passion, this is stupidity!" The third marshal said with a cold expression, "Ling Xiao, you must learn to adapt to your position. You are no longer a mecha master who fights only with blood, but a legion commander. Every decision you make affects not only you." , it is also related to the safety of hundreds of millions of soldiers under your banner. Impulsiveness will only do bad things and will not help the overall situation. "
After saying this, the third marshal no longer cared about Ling Xiao. He looked at the first marshal. As long as the first marshal agreed to his proposal and the three marshals voted in favor at the same time, then Ling Xiao's objection would be of no avail.
The first marshal saw the look the third marshal gave him. He was silent for a moment, but did not speak. Instead, he looked at Ling Xiao, as if he wanted to hear what Ling Xiao had to say. This made the third marshal secretly curse an old fox.
The words of the Third Marshal made the reporters who were still excited about Ling Xiao's words suddenly feel like a bucket of cold water showering their heads. Indeed, dreams are beautiful, but reality is cruel. There are only dozens of bases left on Cape Star. It is really possible. Can they resist enemies that are several times, even dozens or hundreds of times more powerful than them? What's more, the besieged base lacks materials, weapons and energy. What can they use to withstand the siege for at least three weeks? By courage? By blood? Are you afraid of death? It’s unrealistic to even think about it.
After calming down, they felt that what the third marshal said was right. Although they felt that this decision was cruel and cold-blooded, they were also responsible for the follow-up reinforcements and did not want them to die in vain.
But... but... but... damn, they just can't accept it! The reporters whose enthusiasm had not yet disappeared couldn't help but look at Ling Xiao, who had a cold face and no expression at all. Even though General Ling Xiao was criticized by the third marshal for not being calm enough, not in line with the behavior of a legion commander, and being hot-blooded and a bit stupid, they still hope General Ling Xiao can find a reason to convince the marshals to rescue Cape Star.
Sure enough, General Ling Xiao, who they had placed high hopes on, spoke: "Is it emotional? Must it be analyzed calmly? Then please ask the Third Marshal to calmly analyze these federal battles for me..." Ling Xiao motioned to He Xuyang beside him to prepare what he had prepared. The information was passed to the commanders of all major armies and the three marshals.
"In Stardate 179, during the Battle of Aisuo, our Federation only had two bases. We persisted for a month until our reinforcements arrived..."
"In the Battle of Asia and America in 764 BC, our army held off ten times more enemy forces for more than three weeks with the power of a single stronghold, and successfully waited for our reinforcements..."
"In 1016 BC, during the Battle of Sunmoluo, our army successfully supported the battle for two months with the strength of one base. Waiting for our reinforcements..."
"In 1597 BC, when the Sea Demon Star was pioneering the wasteland, our army only had the strength of one corps. It managed to hold off the siege of tens of millions of native sea monsters from the Sea Demon Star for more than a month, and successfully waited for our reinforcements..."
As information jumped on the big screen one by one, the martyrs fought hard in major battles and refused to give up. In the end, they created miracles that everyone thought impossible at the time. When reinforcements arrived, he managed to survive.
The third marshal's face became increasingly embarrassed, and he secretly resented Ling Xiao's nonsense. These battles with long history have a certain degree of uniqueness and contingency. In addition, there were also differences in weapons at that time. Indeed, there were indeed very legendary battles. But in the later stages, such miracles become less and less. In the past thousand years, there has never been a battle line like this that was besieged by troops dozens of times stronger than itself and could last for more than two weeks. But it is undeniable that Ling Xiao brought these battles that created miracles in history to this meeting. It did impress many legion commanders who were still hesitant, including the second marshal who was just about to give up his grandson.
"After all, data is just data, it has no emotions. So nothing will change. But our soldiers are not data. They are living people with emotions, federal soldiers who may create new miracles. Since the martyrs in history can create One miracle after another, so why can't we believe that they can also create another miracle?" Ling Xiao asked.
"Marshal Yang, with the information in your hand, why do you judge that the soldiers of Haijiao Star cannot last more than three weeks?" Ling Xiao asked, "In this case, I, Ling Xiao, dare to make a judgment, that is, I believe Haijiao Star The warriors of Cape Star will definitely support the arrival of our reinforcements and ensure that our territory of Cape Star is not lost!”
"Ling Xiao, you really don't know what to say!" The handsome Third Yuan blushed at Ling Xiao's irresponsible judgment.
"I don't know what you mean? Haha, that's ridiculous! The reason why I, Ling Xiao, dare to make this judgment is because I never thought that those brave warriors on Cape Star are just data in the data. They have flesh and blood and feelings. They have parents and children. They have The desire to survive, as long as they don't give up hope, they can create miracles!" Ling Xiao said firmly.
"A miracle, it is a miracle after all. Looking at history, how many people can create miracles on the battlefield? I can't gamble with the lives of hundreds of millions of soldiers on a miracle that doesn't exist!" The Third Marshal stood up and shouted angrily.
"Marshal Yang, why do you think they can't create miracles?" Ling Xiao also stood up and shouted sharply. The god-level master's status as a general made Ling Xiao not afraid of the pressure from the third marshal.
The two men were confronting each other and could not give in. The whole meeting became furious. Seeing that Ling Xiao and the third marshal were about to collapse, the first marshal coughed and began to smooth things over: "Everyone is doing this for the safety of the soldiers. Who is right and who is wrong, Ling Xiao, you are young and energetic, but you have a bad temper, how can you be rude to Marshal Yang?" The First Marshal first criticized Ling Xiao's attitude, which made many people in the First Faction laugh secretly. Grumpy? The first marshal's excuse was too insincere. Even the people from the second marshal's faction couldn't help but laugh. As expected, the third marshal's face was even more livid. This old fox was blatantly shielding Ling Xiao. It was really abominable.
"Sorry, I was too emotional just now. Please forgive me, Marshal Yang." After hearing this, Ling Xiao immediately saluted the Third Marshal with a military salute to show his respect.
"Old Yang, Ling Xiao is young after all, and he is prone to impulsiveness and mistakes. We old guys can only be tolerant and don't be on the same level with him." The first marshal spoke to the third marshal again, seemingly condemning Ling Xiao. He was ignorant, but his words clearly said that he was not tolerant enough and did not have the bearing of a marshal, which made the third marshal's expression even more ugly.
Now that Ling Xiao apologized, the Third Marshal had to express his position. He felt aggrieved and said in his heart: "It doesn't matter. I can also understand that Ling Xiao is confused when he is concerned, so why can he be angry with him."
The third marshal, who was unhappy, decided to trick Ling Xiao and let everyone know that Ling Xiao insisted on sending troops to rescue him for the sake of his son and not for the high-sounding thing he said.
"Everyone should understand what Marshal Yang and Ling Xiao mean. Now, I would like to ask the legion commanders what their opinions are?" The First Marshal glanced around the screen at the legion commanders and asked calmly.
The third marshal glanced at the commander of his own army, and saw the commander of the army say: "General Ling Xiao is just talking about a beautiful dream, but reality cannot be achieved only by dreams. In order not to increase the sacrifice, I Agree with Marshal Yang to cancel the reinforcement plan!”
Then several legion commanders of the third faction responded one after another. The second marshal just lowered his eyes and did not give any instructions. The people of the second faction fell silent and did not make a sound.
The commander of the Seventh Army looked at the other army commanders who were prepared to remain silent until the end, and a flash of anger flashed in his heart. He said: "The information and estimated judgments provided by Marshal Yang, I admit that they may become reality, but what General Ling Xiao said It is also very reasonable. It may be possible, not necessarily inevitable. As a legion commander, I cannot give up on my soldiers who are still fighting on Cape Star... I support reinforcements!"
The commander of the Seventh Legion made it clear that he supported Ling Xiao. Several legion commanders from the first faction who had a good relationship with Ling Xiao also spoke out to support Ling Xiao. However, because the first marshal did not speak, the legionnaires who had only a moderate relationship with Ling Xiao The commander did not express any support, which made the total number of people who supported Ling Xiao lower than the number of people supporting the third marshal.
Qi Yaoyang glanced at Ling Xiao and saw the not-to-come-out gesture that Ling Xiao put on the table, so he had to continue to endure it.
At this moment, the Second Marshal suddenly moved his fingers slightly. At this time, a legion commander in his faction finally spoke: "I want to ask General Ling Xiao a question. General Ling Xiao please answer."
Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded and said: "General Lu, please tell me." I wonder what kind of cards this second marshal faction wants to play? Ling Xiao was not naive enough to think that the Second Marshal was on his side.
"General, you just said that you are convinced that Cape Star can withstand the siege for more than three weeks and support us until our reinforcements arrive. So, General, please provide us with the basis for why Cape Star can sustain for more than three weeks, can you? One miracle... …It doesn’t convince us.” General Lu, the commander of the Eighth Army, suddenly raised this question.
The third marshal's eyes lit up. He was originally worried that the old second marshal was worried about his grandson and would side with Ling Xiao. But now it seems that this may not be the case. (To be continued.)
