Chapter 2209: Attractive conditions (1/2)
”Liao Haihou misunderstood again. I think you should not have this preconceived notion, thinking that we must be malicious towards you and the Thunder Fleet. In the final analysis, our goal is the same, that is, the stability and strength of the empire. ”
Dongfang Bai took a deep breath, and again concealed his true emotions, but said with a gloomy face, ”This is a big deal. There is no conclusive evidence, and we will not do it, so there is no need for Liao Haihou to provide more information. We came this time mainly to ask Liao Haihou to make a public statement.”
Lei Chenghu raised his eyebrows: ”What statement?”
”In the name of the commander of the thundering fleet, the commander of the third theater of the expeditionary force, the admiral of the empire, Liao Haihou, a public statement was issued to resolutely support the Senate’s efforts in combating treason forces in the blood alliance and other military forces. He also criticized the serious treason crimes committed by radical organizations such as the Blood League, Wanying Society, and Stormtroopers; hoped that the deceived middle- and lower-level officers and soldiers would know their way back and be truly loyal to the empire, the Senate, and the emperor. ”
Dongfang Bai rolled his eyes and said, ”The specific wording can be drawn up by Liao Haihou himself. We guarantee that a word will not be deleted or altered, as long as the above three meanings are expressed.”
Lei Chenghu squinted his eyes: ”Just want me to be absolutely loyal to the Senate?”
Dongfang Bai raised his voice slightly: ”The Senate represents the supreme glory of the empire and the emperor. Isn't it worthy of absolute allegiance?”
Lei Chenghu's voice gradually hardened: ”Of course the Senate deserves the absolute allegiance of every imperial soldier, but for a certain senator, that may not be the case!”
”Liao Haihou, you seem to have no clear understanding of the current situation!”
Dongfang White was grinding his teeth like a hyena, and his voice became more and more gloomy, ”We all believe that your loyalty is with the sincerity of 120,000 points. We want to properly resolve the aftermath of the'Blood League Incident', without causing any problems. This aftermath spread to all front-line troops, turned into a shocking turmoil, and eventually became uncontrollable!
”It is the easiest and most effective way to make a public statement by you!
”As long as you can make such a statement, both we and the Senate will absolutely trust you and immediately end the so-called'censorship'.
”If you can go further and cooperate with us in investigating the militants hiding in the Third Theater and the Thunder Fleet, and let them all surrender, we can even treat most of them lightly and accept it for a while. After the quarantine review, they still have a chance to return to the fleet!
”Isn't this the best choice for each other?”
Lei Chenghu thought deeply, his small round eyes were completely hidden behind wrinkles and scars.
As for whether he is thinking about Dongfang Bai's suggestion, it is unclear.
Half a minute later, Lei Chenghu asked calmly: ”If I return to the Thunder Fleet and stabilize the situation on the front line, I will issue such a public statement there that absolutely supports the Senate and cooperates with all the actions of the Special Investigation Committee-such Way, is it acceptable?”
”Well...”
Dongfang Bai laughed again, like a small sharp-mouthed beast, ”We don't think you need to return to the Thunder Fleet in such a hurry. Out of respect for you, I can privately reveal to you a ‘undetermined’ gossip.
”In order to commend you for your outstanding contribution in the'Empire Strikes Back' in the past ten years, the Senate has been discussing granting you the rank of'Empire Marshal'. Tsk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk tusk Marshal, this is truly supreme glory.
”And once you have been granted the rank of Marshal of the Empire, the position of Commander of the Third Theater of the Expeditionary Force, you will be too wronged by Liao Haihou.
”The Senate is considering the establishment of a new'Joint Commander Headquarters'. I very much hope that you can return to the imperial capital and take up the post of the'Joint Commander Headquarters'. You will continue to serve the Empire, the Senate and His Majesty the Emperor as you did in the past. Make a huge contribution.”
”Joint Commander Headquarters?”
Lei Chenghu chewed on this brand new job, and he couldn't see his inner emotions from the eyebrows or wrinkles. He calmly said, ”What is this? We have the'Ministry of National Defense', the'Military Order' and the'General Manager'. The staff's ”These bloated, large and mutually restrictive institutions are not enough to house so many worthless, corpse-positioned, noble children, and what do they want to build a new, cecal-like muscle?”
The corners of Dongfang Bai's eyes twitched quickly, ignoring the teeth in the old general's words, and continued to smile: ”Liao Haihou said that it is precisely because the current government and military structures of the empire overlap, which hinder each other and even intrigue. There are many problems, such as multiple trips, low efficiency, overcrowding, and so on. That's why it is necessary to establish a'joint command headquarters' to lead and balance the conflicts between various departments.
”At the same time, the'Imperial Strikes Back' for more than ten years has initially achieved its strategic goals. The next stage will focus on solidifying the defense zones and actively restoring the world's productivity. Under this new situation, the existence of the'Expeditionary Army' It has also become untimely.
