Chapter 1300 Showdown
The lieutenant general has already decided in his mind that if the Triangle Army soldiers suffer heavy casualties, he will still teach the other side a lesson!
Even if the other party can escape from the federation, they must pay a considerable price to serve as a warning to future generations.
But Hill really cared about his comrades and subordinates, and immediately said that he had seen it with his own eyes and most of his comrades were still alive.
Xiao Hu also cooperated well and directly cut out the split shot so that the other party could see the officers and soldiers who had already left the life support cabin.
Even those seven A-level ones.
The lieutenant general was silent for a while, and then asked after being reminded by others, "There are only more than 200 people, right?"
A voice sounded beside Hill, "There are more than 200 people on the two merchant ships behind. I'll switch the camera to show you."
The camera switched again, and sure enough, there were more than 200 officers and soldiers in different cabins.
There were also people guarding outside the cabin - the guards were actually the avatars of several big guys.
If we really want to send team members over there, if a fierce battle breaks out, we may not even have time to use teleportation.
Qu Jianlei was really prepared for a fierce battle. He wanted to know how fierce the firepower would be in such a long-term confrontation on the front line.
Therefore, all the calculations before that, including delaying for a dozen more seconds, were all efforts to reduce the cost of breaking out.
He never thought that the breakthrough would be smooth sailing - it was necessary to fully overestimate the risks.
If you want to escape back quietly, of course you can, as you have captured enough prisoners.
But wouldn’t it be a bit of a pity not to take back a regimental-level ship after capturing it?
And even if we bring those dozen people, it will add a lot of risks - it's really not just a matter of hanging tickets.
The size has become so large, how can an invisibility cloak be enough?
Moreover, the Federation has been causing trouble in the Empire. If they are not taught a lesson, they will think that the Empire is a soft persimmon!
It was specifically about the 400-plus people from the Triangle Military Region that Qu Jianlei did not insist on taking them back.
At first he wanted to take it back, after all, soldiers have more sensitive information.
But after meeting Hill, he felt that federal soldiers were not completely without merit.
When facing a racial enemy like Ashura, the Federation and the Empire can still work together to fight the enemy.
Especially after participating in the Nebula Hunting War, he felt that the Federation’s forces should not be slaughtered too brutally.
Those were only some of the Asuras who arrived in this world from another dimension, and they had already demonstrated extremely powerful combat capabilities.
However, even if he wanted to let these people go, a series of coincidental events led to the situation developing to this point.
He still had to take them.
Since this was the case, Qu Jianlei did not hesitate and directly divided the captives into three groups.
Don't you want to leave the life support module? That's fine, but we need to accommodate some on each starship.
He felt no guilt at all for doing this. Many places on Blue Star did the same thing, placing prisoners where the enemy wanted to attack.
If the prisoners are accidentally injured by the enemy, we can still do something to undermine the enemy's morale.
The lieutenant general immediately understood the other party's intention and became furious.
"Haha, it's just a common trick used by the Splitters. It seems that I guessed right!"
He was right. Placing prisoners in strategic locations was something that only the weaker side would do.
If one is really strong enough, who would resort to such unpresentable means?
Of course, when the Mongols or the Qing Dynasty drove the people to attack the city, there were other factors.
It's not just because they have few elite soldiers, but they simply don't treat the people of the Central Plains as human beings.
Qu Jianlei snorted coldly upon hearing this, "The Separatists? This little federation really thinks we care about them?"
The main reason was that as they got closer to the passage, he dared to say some harsh words.
Otherwise, you will enter the interference zone after a while and you won’t have the chance to say harsh words!
As soon as these words came out, not only the lieutenant general, but even Hill's expression changed, "You... are from the evil empire?"
They did suspect that the other party might be from the Empire - such a huge force simply appeared out of nowhere.
But what happened later basically eliminated their doubts.
Hill couldn't help but ask, "Since you are from the Empire, why... are you fighting the star beasts so hard?"
He knew that there was more than one person eavesdropping in the command center at the moment, but he would not be able to close his eyes in peace unless he asked this question!
Qu Jianlei didn't say anything, but Xiao Moshan couldn't help but speak up, "Hill, what I really appreciate about you is that sentence..."
"The war among humans is our own contradiction, but when dealing with star beasts, it is a war between races and civilizations!"
After these words were spoken, there was deathly silence in the intercom channels on both sides.
At the front-line command center, everyone was indignant when they heard that the other party was actually a spy sent by the evil empire.
With such a huge war zone, a long front line, and high costs in manpower and material resources, isn't this a fight against the evil empire?
There have been so many conflicts between the two sides that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a blood feud.
But when I heard that the other party helped the Federation resist the star beasts and paid a considerable price, I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart.
Moreover, the other party made it very clear that human wars are ultimately internal conflicts, and fighting against star beasts is a war of races and a war of civilizations!
Who wouldn’t feel touched after hearing such words?
To the point that they were a little confused and didn't know how to deal with the situation.
The lieutenant general was well-informed. He sneered and broke the silence, "Don't believe a single word the evil empire says!"
"What are they doing in the Federation? They are here to cause trouble!"
"I don't need to say more. Why did you leave the federal soldiers behind when you were escaping? You want us to kill each other!"
"Based on this alone, is it credible to say that human wars are internal conflicts? Internal conflicts... can they do such a thing?"
The logic of his words was not rigorous, and many details could not stand up to scrutiny, but generally speaking, there did not seem to be any major problems.
The battlefield requires special attention to emotional mobilization, so when everyone listened to it roughly, they thought there was nothing wrong with this statement, right?
Qu Jianlei could point out too many logical loopholes in a matter of minutes - for example, since his side was eager to return, it was understandable that they used some tricks.
But he really didn't want to debate the matter in detail because it was not worth it, and he had no interest in fighting on his opponent's preset battlefield.
He just sneered, "Is what we did too much?"
"Anyway, we are helping the Federation hunt star beasts, but what did you Federation do in the Empire?"
"How many uninhabited areas have you created in the Hope Star Region by colluding with the Alliance?"
"There was cannibalism there... I was wondering, where is the evil in this empire that they keep calling evil?"
"The Federation is very noble, right? You can go and see for yourself how miserable the Empire's Hope Star Region No. 4 is now."
"Aren't we going to help you inhuman guys fight the star beasts because we are all human beings?"
"They keep calling it an evil empire. I have to say... the Federation is much more evil than the Empire!"
He really didn't have a good impression of the Empire, but the Federation...how much better could it be?
Everything he released was breaking news, and every word hit the soul.
Hill opened his mouth slightly, and was stunned. What on earth are you talking about? It's the Age of Exploration in the interstellar space... Cannibalism?
He felt that his three views had collapsed - even if there was no food, could there be no nutritional supplements?
The lieutenant general was also a little confused when he heard this.
He knew that many people had infiltrated the Federation, but he had no idea what those people had done in the Empire.
But he was the perennial supreme after all. After being stunned for three or four seconds, he spoke with a sneer.
"The spies who infiltrated here are just talking nonsense, don't believe them!"
He was a commander and was quite familiar with the mood in the army, so he said this.
For most soldiers, fighting an enemy country is definitely better than maintaining law and order in the federation.
But fighting against star beasts is another matter.
If we have to choose a battlefield, I believe that more than 80% of the citizens of the Federation will choose the Star Beast Battlefield!
Therefore, the lieutenant general's words were just to reassure the troops, and they were not directed at Qu Jianlei.
But when Qu Jianlei heard this, he immediately became angry, "How dare you offend the tens of millions of ordinary people who died in the empire?"
"Then leave me a note. When I have time, I will kill your entire family and pay tribute to the people of the empire who died in vain!"
"What? Do you have the guts to... tell me your name?"
"Boss, don't dirty your hands!" Qing Hu said coldly, "I've memorized this man's appearance!"
She is the top supreme in the team, only inferior to a few supremes and Qu Jianlei, but she has never had a good temper.
In addition, she has an ordinary temperament and cannot be recognized in a crowd, so her presence in the team is not very strong.
However, there was one thing that she was the leader of in the team - her hatred for the perpetrators of the Hope Planet 4 tragedy.
"Haha," the lieutenant general sneered disdainfully. As a soldier, why would he be afraid of being threatened?
He had seen too many dead bodies during the years of fighting. He himself had crawled out from a pile of corpses. How could he be afraid of this?
However, just as he was about to say something harsh, he suddenly felt a pang in his heart for no reason and did not dare to continue.
But in the end, he still snorted coldly, "Order, extend the fire to block... start!"
After giving the order, he left on his own and the video conversation was interrupted.
A major general at the side spoke up, "Sir, there are still Federation soldiers on the starship."
The death of one Hill is nothing. There are always casualties in war. But those are more than 400 officers and soldiers from the Triangle Star Region...
The lieutenant general looked at him and said unhappily, "Extended blocking is to block their advance, not a direct attack."
"If they don't charge forward, everything will be fine. If they insist on charging forward...then the other side will be fully responsible for the casualties of our officers and soldiers."
Although this statement is a bit far-fetched, the logic is self-consistent.
The key point is that as a front-line commander, you can't just sit back and watch the other side leave in a swagger, right?
That would not only be a dereliction of duty on his part, but would also have a huge impact on morale.
