Chapter 1622: Speaker to Captain! (2/2)
”But let me tell you, don’t underestimate the power of spirit. People have to have a little spirit! Thinking back a thousand years ago, if our ancestors didn’t rely on this little spirit, How can our love and loyalty to the Xinghai Republic break out of the siege again and again and escape the clutches of the empire, even with the loss of 80% of the population and combat power, still persisting to this day?”
”You are the commander of a battleship. You should know better than me. Under normal circumstances, a force that loses at most 20% of its combat power will collapse across the board!”
”But we did not. We did not collapse. Instead, we have gone all the way to today. With the entire Xinghai being swallowed by the Empire and the Holy League, we, Xinghai Republic, are still fighting!”
Tang Dingyuan said coldly: ”I refuse to call our current situation a'battle'. Think about the last time we met the Imperial Claw Fleet. It is even more embarrassing than the funeral dog hiding in Tibet! I want a real'battle'. Only by joining the Star Federation and fully integrating each other’s strengths can we have such a small chance to go back to the center of the Star Sea!”
”You ask me if I have lost faith in Xinghai Republic? Yes! I never conceal my thoughts. I think Xinghai Republic is hopeless and dead long ago!”
”But you ask me if I am a traitor? No! I also love Xinghai Republic, I am also willing to inherit the spirit of Xinghai Republic, and I also hope that Xinghai Republic can be reborn-with a new name, new look, and new posture. !”
”The Xinghai Republic is the supreme human civilization that has inherited the spirit of the Xinghai Empire and came into being. If the Xinghai Empire is called the'first cultivation civilization' where mankind dominates the Xinghai, then the Xinghai Republic is the'second cultivation civilization', and Today, a thousand years later, the Xingyao Federation is fully qualified to become the ”third cultivation civilization”, inheriting the spirit of the same line from the Xinghai Empire to the Republic, taking over the mission that all the practitioners have not completed for 10,000 years, and letting a powerful cultivation. Civilization, once again sweeping the entire universe!”
”This is all my thoughts. I don’t want to surrender to the Xingyao Federation, but to inject the spirit of the Xinghai Republic, which I love and swear to protect, into the Xingyao Federation, and create a world on top of the corpse of the Xinghai Republic. A stronger, brighter country with infinite future for comprehension!”
At the beginning, Tang Dingyuan's sound was as cold as hail, but in the end it roared into a thunder with flames.
Cui Lingfeng didn't seem to have expected him to say such a thing, and for a moment his face was filled with astonishment and doubt.
”Looking at how you look right now, if it wasn't for your acting skills to be superb, I really believe that you are not secretly messing up.”
Tang Dingyuan sat back again, fell into deep thought, and muttered as he muttered, ”That would be terrible, the two of us, the speaker of the exiled government and the captain of the Firefly were framed at the same time...”
Cui Lingfeng frowned: ”What did you say?”
Tang Dingyuan glanced at him and sneered: ”Chairman Cui, I believe your love and loyalty to the Xinghai Republic for the first time. However, what you call'we' is not necessarily the same. Not every congressman can be like you. With fanatical loyalty, I am ready to go into exile for another thousand years!”
”For most of the congressmen, what they care about is the little bit of sesame-sized power and status on hand, which can help them get a more spacious cabin and some slightly delicious synthetic food.”
”As long as they have the opportunity, these congressmen will never mind selling their loyalty and ‘spirit’. As you said, they can be sold to the Federation and naturally to the Empire!”
Cui Lingfeng narrowed his eyes and paused every word: ”What do you mean, make it clear?”
”Do you really think that all the congressmen are like you, willing to sail all the way to the end of the universe under the name of the ”Xinghai Republic”?
Tang Dingyuan said calmly, ”Yes, the postures they showed in the parliament are indeed like this. All of them are high-spirited and loyal to the extreme, but it is only because the five words'Xinghai Republic' have not been sold yet. They only have a good price in their minds. Do you want to know how many congressmen come to me in private and say that they are not opposed to joining the Star Federation, but because of your **** and persecution, they dare not say it face-to-face?”
Cui Lingfeng said nothing, staring at Tang Dingyuan.
Tang Dingyuan was full of calmness and did not back down.
”Brother Dingyuan, let's talk about it today.”
Cui Lingfeng slowly said, ”I have something else to do, so let's go one step ahead.”
”You should hurry up.”
Tang Dingyuan smiled, his smile a little bleak, ”If you weren't acting just now, you really found evidence from my daughter Jing's brain, and Ding Zhengyang-he is now acting captain, he really accused me, Then we, the Firefly, the government-in-exile, and the Federation of Stars, our trouble will be big.”
