MTL - Interstellar Fairy Tale-Chapter 167

It wasn't long for Mars to consider, but after Shang Ping gave his choice, David South has already made a decision without even consulting with anyone. Everything, just wait until eight hours later.

"It can't be!" Martin's voice was hoarse with anger. "You can't decide the fate of the entire planet alone."

David South had a stiff expression and stood motionless in front of the light screen. His back was straight and his broad shoulders carried the fate of Mars. At least, for now.

"As you mean, Martin, how should we respond?"

"I…"

Martin's voice choked in his throat, his choice? Surrender? If the word is uttered, he will be spurned by all Mars soldiers, even himself. But his current identity is not a Mars soldier, he is the chief executive of Mars, and his perspective on the issue must be different from that of David South. David South is more considered from the point of view of a soldier, and he must be responsible to the people of the entire planet, and most of them are ordinary people!

"We have no other choice."

David South turned his head, dark green eyes, deep eyes, Martin involuntarily avoided his eyes.

"We have no choice but to fight. If Mars succumbs to the enemy, then the meaning of this country's existence will be fundamentally destroyed. Madoff White's country should not be built by a group of cowards. refuge!"

"David, do you know how many warships the opponent has?! Do you know how powerful the opponent's weapons are?! Was the previous battle with the Golden Empire fleet an illusion?! The blood of a soldier can make you ignore the life of the entire planet. Have you ever thought that once the fleet is defeated and the other side lands, what will happen to the people of Mars? Except for the soldiers, the people living here are ordinary people!"

"Having said so much, your purpose is actually to make us surrender?"

"I didn't say that! I just don't want the entire planet to be involved in the war. If we must fight, at least we can negotiate with the other party to let ordinary citizens leave. It seems that the other party doesn't want to kill them all, otherwise , Seth and the Free Cities Federation will not take the initiative to accept the occupation. If their purpose is this planet, we will give it to them. Earth people have also left their home planet, and there is hope only when they are alive!"

Martin just hopes that David South, who has been dazzled by the honor of the military, can be more careful. If it is Escher, he will never treat ordinary people...

"Oh, don't you think it's a whimsical thing?"

David South's tone was as ordinary as he was talking about the weather, but the irony in his words was self-evident. They've been friends for decades, colleagues, and perhaps know each other's way of thinking better than they do. What Martin was thinking just now, David South knows very well. Therefore, he must dispel the idea of ​​Martin, completely. Mars can't be like Seth, humbly praying for survival. Once this happens, Mars' existence will have no meaning. As for leaving Mars, David Soth has never even thought about it. What is the difference between this and surrender?

Hearing David's words, Martin's face was livid, his fists clenched, and the back of his hands burst into blue veins. David Southe did not simply humiliate him, but blocked all other possibilities.

"Martin, you don't have to say it anymore. In short, this is the same as surrendering to the enemy. Mars soldiers can only die in battle, and can't do such shameful behavior!"

Finally, David South tore off the last fig leaf, and the command room suddenly fell into a terrifying silence, and even the sound of tapping on the keyboard stopped. Everyone, including the Mars fleet commanders, civilians, operators, and CNC operators, looked at Martin in disbelief. Their chief executive wanted to be as low as the weak president of the Republic of Seth. Head, licking the enemy's boots?

"No! That's not what I meant." Martin's explanation seemed very pale, and no one wanted to believe him. Facing the invasion of foreign enemies, David South was more appealing and would be trusted more than Martin.

"If I misunderstood you, I apologize to you." David Soth's voice remained unchanged. He turned around, looked at the commanders of the Mars Squadron who were standing upright, and gave the order to fight. At the same time, the CNC operator is required to repair and activate the central control system immediately, and he wants to speak to the whole planet.

"Yes!"

Neat voices sounded at the same time, David Soth strode out of the command room, and the fleet commanders followed behind him. Martin still stood there, and men in black military uniforms walked past him, with strong steps, as if beating on his heart. Maybe they all knew that they would die, but they still decided to die, and to die with the entire planet.

Lowering his head and covering his eyes with his fingers, Martin laughed silently, a drop of transparent tears dripped down his fingers and smashed to the ground, silent.

David South's speech was brief but clear enough.

"Our enemy is here, and Mars soldiers will shed their last drop of blood to defend our planet. Until the last warship is destroyed and the last soldier is killed, the boots of the enemy will never set foot on the land of Mars! "

This speech traveled over Mars, and even the entire Muse galaxy, by airwaves in clear code.

The Marths did not cheer for their soldiers as they used to, they just kept silent, and kept silent. Then they walked to the window and looked up at the blue sky. The sky was still clear and cloudless, but they could already see the haze lurking behind the clear sky.

They are not afraid of war, but no one will doubt that it is a hopeless war.

All were praying, and cadets from the Madoff Military Academy flocked to the military and government buildings, asking to join the fight. They should have been refused, but David South allowed them to board the battleship.

Martin angrily rushed into David South's conference room, where all the military officials gathered, they were discussing the battle plan, eight hours, not too long.

"They're still kids!" Martin's voice almost trembled with anger. "You can't take their lives so hastily!"

"They are also soldiers!" David South looked at Martin calmly, with his hands behind his back, and kept looking at the light screen that occupied the entire wall of the conference room, where a huge fleet was waiting, "I am not depriving me of it. Their lives. Enemies. And, if Mars is taken, do you think they'll be able to survive?"

"There are no absolutes, David, I beg, I beg you to think about it calmly, even the government's civilian staff should not be these children, they are Mars' hope!"

"There's no hope." David South's voice was very light, "Martin, I don't have time to argue with you now, instead of wasting my time here, you might as well go to appease the people, the time of the battle is uncertain, the logistics and supplies Security and the arrangement of medical personnel are very important. This time, all fleet service personnel will participate in the battle, and government personnel will be needed to arrange logistics. Okay, please go out. "

David Soth didn't give Martin a chance to refute, and the guards directly "invited" Martin out of the conference room.

Martin looked at the closed conference room door and pursed his lips. Indeed, he had more important things to do. If David South is going to go his own way, at least he wants to keep more people alive.

Deco Galaxy Fleet

Shang Ping also received the content of David Soth's speech. He just raised the corners of his mouth mockingly. He didn't think there were absolutely bad or good people in the world. David Soth's righteousness at the moment could not erase him. crimes committed more than ten years ago. At this moment, he kidnapped the entire planet with this justice.

Shang Ping felt that his thinking was also very biased, so he turned his head and looked at Roger, the staff officer standing beside him, and asked: "Roger, please answer me honestly, I am a hateful aggressor, an evil fleet commander. , betrayed his own planet, a shameless fellow?"

Roger gave Shang Ping a strange look, "Are you joking, or are you serious?"

"Is there any difference?"

"It's very simple, you are just commanding a fleet to occupy a galaxy, which is very common, isn't it? Haven't your previous galaxies ever occupied an alien galaxy?"

"Yes," Shang Ping touched his nose, "but..."

"Since this is the case, what are you guilty of? I have told you before, you'd better correct your attitude, if this galaxy is really so special to you, you can ask His Majesty the emperor to come, don't take this kind of It is enough to put it in front of His Majesty the Emperor."

"Oh."

Shang Ping nodded, as if he understood, but remembered the phone call with Soran Edrich just now, and felt uncomfortable again. The sudden change of expression attracted attention, but the staff officer smartly looked away. The iceberg face did not mean that his emotional intelligence was also rigid.

"It's true that I think too much."

Shang Ping put away his exposed emotions, his expression was serious, and he looked at the time. The deadline was less than half an hour away.

"Lord Commander, there is signal access."

"Come in."

The face of David Soth appeared on the light screen, and behind him stood all the commanders of the Mars Squadron.

"What's your answer, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief?"

"The Mars people will only choose to fight."

"Okay." Shang Ping stood in front of the light screen and said to David Soth with the most serious attitude: "I will capture Mars in the way of soldiers. But, respected commander-in-chief, you are really like you. Is the speech so righteous and selfless? Also, may I take the liberty to ask, do you remember what happened at the Kanon military fortress twelve years ago?"

David Soth's expression froze for a moment, Shang Ping let out a chuckle, turned his head, and looked at Staff Officer Roger, Roger raised his wrist, the pointer moved slowly, Shang Ping nodded, and continued: "The Deco galaxy fleet will launch an attack in twenty minutes. Please prepare for the battle."

The words fell, and the communication was interrupted.

"Your Excellency Commander?" The operator looked at Shang Ping in confusion, obviously the other party had something to say, but Shang Ping asked him to cut off the signal.

"It's okay, I just don't want to talk nonsense anymore."

Shang Ping's attitude changed from the respect he had just now. He respected Mars soldiers, but to David Soth, he had to kill him!

Golden Empire, Ivan Summer Palace

Soran Edrich was immersed in government affairs, and the documents on the light screen were scrolling at an extremely fast speed. Occasionally, the emperor would pick up the light pen and mark different contents under some documents, but he was expressionless. Judging from his beautiful face and the icy aura surrounding him, the emperor seemed to be in a bad mood.

In fact, since the call with the future princess suddenly ended with the communicator signal being cut off, the emperor's mood began to deteriorate. The attendant continued to choose to be the background. He didn't want to bear the emperor's anger at the moment, but he was also puzzled. The emperor was expressing his thoughts and love to the imperial concubine. Why did the imperial concubine suddenly turn off the communicator? Is it because the emperor's words were too subtle and not enthusiastic enough? Perhaps, it's time to ask the etiquette officer...
