The two admirals Morgan and Chrysler sat at opposite ends of the conference table, and the occasional collision of their eyes almost burst out with thunder. Phil and the little princess sat on each side, looking at the ground and the sky, not touching anyone. Kun sat in the corner,
Dignified and solemn, without any frivolity.
Chrysler showed no anger at all, and his voice was calm and slow, which was very different from his usual fiery temper. He said unhurriedly: "Lightyear's fighting method is obviously inconsistent with the intelligence provided before. Did they evolve in a month?"
?”
Admiral Morgan looked a little gloomy and said: "My 50,000 people were wiped out for unknown reasons, and we still need to investigate clearly. I want to know, where is a line of defense placed, and why don't you even take a look at it? Even if you leave some troops to support it,
, and it won’t collapse immediately.”
"Line of defense?" Chrysler said expressionlessly, "If you don't fire a single shot, is it also called a line of defense?"
Admiral Morgan was also angry and said slowly: "60,000 people escaped and returned less than 10,000, and the number of people who stayed behind was less than 20,000. Chrysler, you'd better think about whether you can keep your designation first.
"
A cold light flashed in Chrysler's eyes, and then it disappeared, remaining calm: "Then there is no need to worry about General Morgan."
Seeing that the situation was getting tense, Phil rubbed his brows, but was unable to do anything. What he needed to worry about now was where the 100,000 Moon Army on the surface of the planet would go.
Hathaway remained silent. She was the youngest here anyway and did not need to express her opinion. Besides, if she said something, the blood pressure of the two elderly people might double.
She looked at the rigorous and beautiful lines on the ceiling, and suddenly felt a little dazed. The result of this battle shocked everyone present, including her. It would definitely shock the entire federation later. Even she didn't know what those lines were.
What would the old people in the parliament and committees think and how would they deal with it? She only knew that those old people had lived for a long time, and behind every decision there was a calculation as complex as their annual rings.
The meeting was destined to end unhappily, and the conclusion was obvious, that is, defend first and wait for the federal leaders to decide on the next strategy. The elite 7th Marine Corps was almost completely wiped out, and Morgan's cumulative losses exceeded 200,000 people.
, and Lightyear still has at least 20,000 tanks, and its strength on paper is already equivalent to the current federal ground military strength. Now everyone knows that no one can defeat Chu Jungui with the same military strength.
In the end, Morgan decided to abandon the two forward bases and concentrate his forces to defend the main base and the two landing bases. The three bases formed angles with each other and could support each other. The little princess had no objection to this decision. She just withdrew the 5,000 pirate flags to 4,500, and the equipment was
Leave it to Morgan.
After the meeting ended, Phil waited for a while and walked with Hathaway. Watching the two admirals walking away, Phil sighed and said, "Is that guy still a human?"
"He is a good person."
"Really?" Phil was startled and smiled bitterly.
At this time, there were footsteps behind him, and Kun walked quickly. Both Phil and the little princess frowned slightly, obviously showing an unwelcome attitude.
Kun stood in front of Phil, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "I've heard of you for a long time, this is the first time we met."
Phil remained motionless, just looking at Kun, with no intention of reaching out.
Kun didn't feel embarrassed, and looked at Phil calmly and calmly, without any trembling in his outstretched hand. After a full 10 seconds, Kun withdrew his hand, his smile unchanged, and said: "It seems that we will not be friends anymore.
"
Kun turned to Hathaway, but this time he took half a step back, put his hand on his chest, and bowed slightly. He was full of courtesy and intrinsic respect, which was three points lower than the normal aristocratic etiquette posture.
After a salute, Kun said nothing more and left with a smile.
Phil was still aloof and cold at first, but now he suddenly lost his composure. He glared at Kun's leaving figure and had the urge to take action, but he finally suppressed it. It wasn't until Kun walked away that Phil took a deep breath.
Question: "Why?!"
Differential treatment has always been a source of conflict.
It’s just that Hathaway was also thinking, and after much deliberation, she couldn’t understand why Kun saluted her. The traditional etiquette among federal nobles was actually very particular. The depth of Kun’s ceremony was actually a comparison between those with lower rankings and those with higher rankings within the same system.
Although it is very similar to the etiquette between men facing beautiful ladies, Hathaway, who has received strict training since childhood, can naturally see it, so she is confused. Phil grew up in the military since he was a child, and as an adult
He began to fight everywhere, disdainful of traditional etiquette, and naturally could not see this subtle difference.
Hathaway felt that Kun's actions seemed to have deep meaning. He showed unexpected confidence in front of Phil and treated Phil as an equal. Who was Phil? He was the famous general in charge of the entire Moon Army.
The strength of the family is also stronger than that of Kun's family. The elders of the Kun family are a little reluctant to shake hands with Phil, let alone Kun? Hathaway's brother, who is now planning to build a new legion, can shake hands with Phil.
Compared with you, the status of the little princess is somewhat inferior.
Most of the time things like family status are of no use, but when necessary, they are often a key factor. There is no reason to forcefully cross the class. For some people, it is an insult, similar to throwing a glove into the other person's face in the Middle Ages.
That kind of thing. If Kun raised his head and looked at someone with his nostrils, it would be like hitting someone with a glove soaked in sweat.
After getting angry, Phil seemed to feel a little out of character, and apologized to the little princess: "Actually, I'm not that particular, but I've heard about some of his past things, and I don't like them."
"Me too, I don't understand why he did this."
"Forget it, ignore him. Go back and rest. I'm afraid it will be very difficult next time."
Hathaway thought for a while and asked, "Do you want peace talks?"
Phil shook his head and said: "It's unlikely. We lost this battle miserably. If we negotiate for peace, those congressmen will have nothing to answer to the voters."
Phil and Hathaway separated at the intersection and each returned to their base.
An assault boat took off from the command center and flew staggeringly towards the Billind station. Kun hummed an unknown tune while flying in irregular curves. This world is lonely, but it seems lively.
As you grow up, you will have new troubles, and fewer and fewer people can understand you.
Kun is a principled person who respects the strong, looks down upon and does not bully the weak at will, and protects his followers and performs his duties.
A smile appeared on Kun's lips. It seemed that neither Phil nor Hathaway understood him.
The reason why he was on an equal footing when facing Phil was because he had 4.99% of Lightyear's equity, which he had but Phil didn't. As news of this battle spread, how high would Lightyear's stock price rise?
?300 will pass tomorrow, and 500 is not a dream. If you look at it in the long term... Kun quickly retracted his thoughts, don't think too much, and he can't sell, not even one share.
Phil's status is high, but there is a balance between power and wealth. Phil can command the moon wheel, but the moon wheel is not his. Without that position, Phil is just an ordinary kid from a big family, and his wealth may not be able to
You Kun has a lot of fractions. On equal terms, Kun feels that he has not promoted himself at all. What's more, if you look further, this Phil is always on the opposite side of Chu Jungui. Will there be a moon wheel after a while?
Not even the legion. At that time, what will Phil have left? Without the moon wheel, his family will go from being stable to being slightly inferior to Kun's family.
Kun feels that this is the art of struggle. When the world is bad, he doesn't have to do anything, just watch his opponent die. When time goes by, you will find that your original opponents have disappeared somewhere, and your own ranking will be natural.
It will rise. What does it mean to win by lying down? This is it.
Kun was impressed by Hathaway. Among other things, Kun was convinced by this little princess just because she had a thick face and a dark heart. She logged in 5,000 people without even looking at her. As soon as she heard that the front line had been defeated, she immediately withdrew.
4500? What do you want to do by leaving these 500 people behind? Is it to lower your own morale?
The world is declining, people's hearts are not as old as they used to be, and now even good-looking people are shameless.
On the other hand, Kun respects the little princess from the bottom of his heart. Without it, 4.99 respects 21.3.
The assault boat swayed back to Billind's base amid the melodious tune.
Chu Jungui was extremely troubled at the moment, deeply worried about the loss.
This battle was fought too hard. More than half of the 50,000 tanks were lost, and now there are only more than 21,000 tanks on hand. The terrible thing is that the losses are not linear. It gets higher and higher as the battle continues, and the curve gradually rises.
Brother Dao now only has 25% left, Wise Man still has 55%, and Kaitian has 90% left. It can be said that the loss is heavy and it will take several months to recover.
Chu Jungui discovered a problem. In the middle and later stages of the fight, as the losses increased, the chariots controlled by Brother Dao and the chariots controlled by Wise Man became chaotic and out of control to varying degrees. Brother Dao was especially obvious.
At 40%, it almost becomes a chaotic battle. Basically, you point me in a direction and give me the level of charge. This kind of command is simply worse than the 7th Army.
Without the unified command of the Mist Tribe behind the scenes, the battle beasts would not move at all, or would execute an order to the end. This is the disadvantage of not having a sense of autonomy. But having a sense of autonomy is even worse, as it cannot achieve detailed command down to the level of a single tank.
It seems that Brother Dao’s psychological construction needs to be put on the agenda.
Another problem that gave Chu Jungui a headache was prisoners.
This time, the 7th Army was completely defeated, and Morgan's first wave of reinforcements were wiped out, allowing Chu Jungui to gain complete rights to clean up the battlefield. The 7th Army was well-equipped, and each crew compartment of the tank was an independent rescue cabin, as was the battle armor.
High-end cargo with strong rescue functions. Many tanks ignited fires, and the crews could not be burned until the fire went out. That is, the ammunition exploded and they could not escape. This made the casualties of the 7th Army the majority of the casualties, and the minor injuries were smaller than the casualties.
Many serious injuries.
This time the 7th Army suffered a total loss of 50,000 people, with only 6,000 killed in battle, and the rest became prisoners. However, 39,000 of the 44,000 prisoners were wounded, which shows their bravery.
In comparison, only 60 of Morgan's 50,000 people died in battle, and the rest were prisoners.
