Star Sea Lord

() "Yongyuan" War Fortress.

At the command desk of the main control center, the marshal sat in his own place, watching silently on the huge light screen, groups of imperial battleships were passing through the wormhole in an orderly manner, and instantly spanned hundreds of light-years away. The distance, shuttled out from the void at the other end.

There, the two small-scale Gambino interception fleets have long been defeated, and the Imperial Army Corps has established a new temporary camp. The next step is to conduct a comprehensive sweep of the void near the wormhole, and wipe out everything that can be found. All kinds of human planets and various space cities, military bases, resource collection centers, etc. are swept away!

Even though the Gambinos also carried out various concealment operations, unfortunately, under the extremely powerful battlefield monitoring network of the Imperial Army, almost no targets could survive.

Now, apart from the relatively strong combat forces in the territories directly under the royal court, the remaining provinces are no different from undefended territories in Xue Cangyun's eyes!With the attacking ability of the Imperial Army, at most two months, they can all be wiped out.

However, he never had such an opportunity again, and the scene of the video call with the Minister of Defense just now is still reflected in his mind...

"Those guys are moving more and more vigorously!" In the three-dimensional stereoscopic image, Qin Weigeng said to him with a tired face:

"Within three days at most, the Supreme Executive Council will convene a meeting of all members to hold a hearing on the situation in the northwest border of the empire and make a decision on whether to withdraw troops!"

"Even if our people try their best to mediate and delay, the moment the official withdrawal order reaches your hands, it will not exceed ten days!"

"In other words, I can stay here for ten days at most, right?" Xue Cangyun subconsciously grasped the armrest of the seat, and asked with a sullen face.

Qin Weigeng nodded heavily, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Yes, maybe after that damn order is sent, you can still think of some excuses that are as 'reasonable' as possible, and stay there for another three to five days, and then you have to withdraw your troops and return!"

"Damn it!" Xue Cangyun thumped the seat, gritted his teeth and cursed:

"It's only been half a month, and the scheduled plan can't be completed at all! Could it be that this group of dogs, mothers, and raised bastards are being cheap again? We can completely wipe them out this time!"

"It's impossible, we... have done our best!" The Minister of Defense sighed, "You still have half a month, you can try to kill some more, and then come back!"

A fierce light gradually appeared in Xue Cangyun's eyes, and he said darkly, "What if I insist on not taking that damn order seriously?"

The Minister of Defense tightened his face, his eyes became stern, and he asked in a cold voice: "As a member of the Imperial Army, do you dare to forget your vocation and disobey the orders of the military department?"

"Of course I will not forget my duty!" Xue Cangyun roared through gritted teeth,

"But look at what those damned politicians are doing? In the past history, no matter which race dared to raise the butcher knife against the empire, no matter how powerful it was, it was finally wiped out by us without any suspense ! Why should these bloody Gambinos make an exception?"

"It's not clear to you about the current situation. Once the Gambino people escape this catastrophe, our strategic situation in the northwest will not be fundamentally changed! There is such a scourge squatting there, the empire has developed the Western Wild Starfield on a large scale Our plan will be severely hampered! In order to guard against them, we have to continue to keep a huge army in the northwest region. In the future, if there is a disturbance in them, the empire will not know how much effort it will take to deal with them..."

"That's enough!" Qin Weigeng thumped the table heavily, his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, bursting out with a biting power:

"What I need is a soldier who obeys orders, otherwise no matter how good he is, I won't use him! Marshal Xue Cangyun, tell me, are you planning to disobey orders?"

Xue Cangyun's eyelids twitched wildly. He knew that the Minister of Defense had already become really angry. After all, he was his old boss for many years.

Qin Weigeng sighed, with a deep desolation in his tone: "Of course I understand that without the Gambino people, a gap will be opened in the strategic encirclement of the Star Sea clans against the Empire's mainland, and the benefits to the Empire are self-evident. It's metaphorical! But...compared with this matter, you have more important tasks!"

He hesitated for a few seconds, and finally continued:

"Just to remind you! I... have received news that at the next Grand Consul's meeting, the new Minister of Defense will be decided, and the adjustment plan for some important positions in the military will also be discussed. At that time... ..."

"Dangdang!"

The celadon teacup in Xue Cangyun's hand fell off, landed on the cold metal floor, and shattered into pieces.

"Those fat-headed guys, they... actually dare to..." He growled lowly, with a palpitating blood in his eyes.

Marshal Qin Weigeng fought countless bitter and vicious battles throughout his life as a soldier, and made great contributions to the strength of the empire!He is the most senior and prestigious marshal in active service in the military, a veritable pillar of the empire, and a person who has changed the color of many foreign civilizations!

If he is deposed because of this matter, it will inevitably lead to a series of turmoil, causing the emperor's mind to be unstable, and many hostile alien civilizations applaud!

"Don't worry, I'm fine!" Qin Weigeng forced a smile and said:

"It just so happens that I've been in this position for so many years, and I'm really tired. It's good to be able to step back and rest!"

"Besides, I still have the right to make suggestions for new minister candidates, so I recommended you to them, and several other old guys in the military have no objections. If there is no accident, you will come back and talk to me soon. The handover of duties is underway!"

"..." Xue Cangyun opened his mouth wide in surprise, and was speechless for a while.

"Don't be surprised, this is one of the conditions for the military to compromise with them," Qin Weigeng said quietly,

"The current empire is surrounded by powerful enemies. It is far from the time when the rabbit is dead and the bird is dead. They dare not go too far!"

"Although I'm gone, we have nothing to worry about if you take over this burden. I hope you don't let us old men down."

Looking at the haggard face of the old marshal, Xue Cangyun felt as if something was blocked in his heart, and he was indescribably uncomfortable, and his eyes were slightly moist.

In the end, he didn't say anything, but silently performed a solemn military salute.

……

"Things are already on the horizon!"

Still in the courtyard of Di Du, Yu Hongbo said to the mysterious human wrapped in a black cloak in front of him:

"No matter how hard those people struggle, there is still a maximum of ten or eight days before we will see the outcome! When the northwest attack group of the empire withdraws, don't forget to cash in the remaining things!"

"Ten days left..." The mysterious man breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked flatteringly:

"Can you go faster? We must know that every time that butcher Xue Cangyun stays there, many members of our clan will be killed and injured. We really can't bear it!"

"If you can't last ten days, you can't blame others!" Yu Hongbo said coldly,

"One of my grandsons died on the Northwest battlefield, and another grandson was almost shot in prison. It's all because of your little shit. Don't you think you should give me some extra compensation?"

"..."
