Rebel Demon King

Chapter 1302 Ragnarok of the Gods (74)

"General Baishen, I contacted you urgently because we are holding an important meeting, and you cannot be absent."

Seeing Yu Gaoyuan's smiling tiger-like face appearing on the screen close at hand, Bai Xiuxiu really wanted to reach into the screen, grab his collar, and throw him from a height of 15 meters.But she still needs to be patient now, and raised her hand to switch the main screen display to the camera that took pictures of herself. Looking at her face, she felt a little better, and said coldly: "You have [-] minutes."

Yu Gaoyuan didn't seem to care about her domineering indifference, and said unhurriedly: "The first thing is, because you inherited the position of Dean Chen's god general in an emergency, and you have not been officially authorized , So we held this meeting today and specially approved this appointment. You will officially assume the position of God General, and you will also serve as the dean when you come back. Moreover, we have initially discussed that because of Xie Jili's death, your uncle will replace you .”

Of course, Bai Xiuxiu understood what Yu Gaoyuan meant. They wanted to transfer power and tie the Bai family into the same boat. The condition must be that Xie Jili's death would not be pursued and the electromagnetic artillery array would be withdrawn.As one of them, she knew all too well the dirty political game.

Sure enough, Yu Gaoyuan changed the subject and said: "Just now you used the No. [-] ship as a bait to kill the 'Seventh General', which is a very decisive decision. But the problem is that the system determines the ownership of the 'Seventh General' The settlement will be settled after the war, so now we haven't got the 'seventh general', let alone transform it into immediate combat power. The most urgent thing is to stop the enemy's fourth and fifth generals to create conditions for the retreat of the electromagnetic gun .As long as the electromagnetic cannon can be withdrawn by two-thirds, Stargate will have to negotiate with us. They temporarily occupy the sea of ​​NF, and we get the 'seventh general'. This is not an unacceptable reality."

Bai Xiuxiu sighed in her heart: "Is it just temporarily occupying the sea of ​​NF? What you lose is more than ten years or even decades of future!" She has seen through these people, and they only want to keep what they have in their hands at any time. As for the bargaining chip, as for the price they will pay, as long as it does not harm their interests, they don't care.They don't care about the people who died in the [-]nd Fleet, the people who died in the NF Sea, or the people who died in the [-]st Fleet. In their cold thinking, there are only interests, as if as long as the price is right, sacrifice is nothing , they can immediately use the bloody peace as a fig leaf.

At this moment, the faces of these people set off the greatness of Xie Jili more and more.

She hesitated for a moment, and finally said with regret: "It's too late to retreat now."

Yu Gaoyuan seemed to have known Bai Xiuxiu would say this for a long time, smiled and said: "It's too late, we have thousands of ships scattered and evacuated, even if some of them will be destroyed, most of the ships can escape with electromagnetic guns. Wait for those When the electromagnetic gun comes back, we can start negotiations with Stargate. Although we said that we lost No. 10 and No. [-] ships, Stargate also lost the third and sixth fleets, and also lost the seventh general. I don't think they have the courage to go on with us anymore." After a pause, he said in a compassionate tone, "The war is indeed too cruel, how many days has it been? The economic losses are immeasurable, leaving aside the economy, we Tens of thousands of people were killed or injured, which is hundreds of thousands of families! Li Huazeng, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, said: I heard that my husband Qi Wei was guarded, and Jing Han recruited. Thousands of miles have been running, and they have been exposed year after year. Sand and grass are grazing in the morning, and rivers and ice are crossing at night. The land is vast and the sky is long, and I don’t know the way back. Who will be the one to take care of yourself? The Qin and Han Dynasties returned, many things happened to the barbarians, and Zhongzhou was exhausted. There is no world. Military ministers use strange tactics. Raiders are different from benevolence and righteousness. The kingly way is too broad and ineffective. Woohoo! Raider tricks are definitely not the right way, but the kingly way can win them!" (Translation: I heard that during the Warring States period, Qi Wei recruited strong men to serve, Han recruited soldiers to prepare for war. The soldiers traveled thousands of miles to the frontier, exposed to the outside world year after year, looking for water and grass in the desert to graze in the morning, and wading through the frozen river at night. Between swords and guns, who do you confide your distressed mood to? Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, wars have been frequent on the borders of the four directions, and the loss and destruction of the Central Plains has also occurred from time to time. In ancient times, it was said that the barbarians in the Xia Dynasty did not fight with the emperor's army The enemy; Later, when the rites and music were no longer preached, the generals used surprise soldiers and tricks. The surprise soldiers did not conform to benevolence, righteousness and morality, and the kingly way was considered pedantic and impractical, and no one practiced it. It is really touching.)
Hearing Yu Gaoyuan say these words, Bai Xiuxiu only felt it was ridiculous. She shook her head and said, "Don't tell me such polite words, Mr. Yu. I didn't have time to say it because I had already issued an order to send out all the flying brigades near the sea. Cooperate with the Chosen One of our No. 10 ship to intercept the fourth and fifth generals." She raised her wrist and looked at her watch, "I will arrive at the blocking point soon. So you have [-] minutes left."

Hearing this news, Yu Gao Yuanteng stood up suddenly, changed his amiable attitude, raised his brows and said in an angry tone that almost exploded: "You are really ridiculous, how can you make such an important decision at will without telling us report?"

Bai Xiuxiu responded coldly: "What I do, I don't need to report to you."

Yu Gaoyuan was furious, "Are you really toasting?" He took a few breaths before suppressing the urge to explode, and said in a deep voice, "I won't tell you, I'll let your uncle and your father talk to you first. Take a moment." He looked to the right, bent down and said in a low voice, "Bo Huai, Bo Qi, you have a good chat with General Bai Shen, and you must persuade her not to be impulsive."

Bai Xiuxiu saw the faces of her father and uncle on the small screen. She only felt tired, but she couldn't rest, she couldn't fall down, and now she was the only one who still supported the fight. She pulled herself together and said in a deep voice: "What Let's talk about it in public! This is a business matter, not a family matter."

There was a moment of silence in the meeting room, the small screen switched several times, and finally stopped in the direction of his father Bai Bohuai and his uncle Bai Boqi, his father looked majestic in front of the camera, and his uncle said earnestly, "Xiuxiu, you have to see clearly The situation, the fourth and fifth generals of the star gate have gone straight to Sidu Jiao, and now the first ship is gone, the third ship is far away in Aloha, and the fourth ship has not yet formed a combat force. There is no way to stop the two generals of the star gate. What's more, according to the research and judgment of the strategy department, the Enterprise is likely to be in the warm equatorial stream of the Pacific Ocean, which shows that the first general is probably there. Not only that, we are surrounded by wolves , Napoleon VII's Charles de Gaulle is also rushing towards the sea of ​​NF, not to mention Kamikaze, Baihu and Kaji Yoshiya who are holding their breath. They have been changing frequently recently, just waiting for the opportunity, as long as the star gate is pushed down We, they will rush forward without hesitation. Now that the collapse of the war is imminent, you can only buy time for the retreat of the electromagnetic cannon. If the electromagnetic cannon on Sidu Jiao cannot be withdrawn, the consequences will be disastrous."

"What kind of unimaginable consequences will there be?" Bai Xiuxiu asked expressionlessly.

"Don't pretend to be confused here!" Father slapped down the table, his eyes widened, "You immediately give me an order to withdraw!"

Bai Boqi pulled Bai Bohuai's arm, and said patiently: "I know you are very dissatisfied, but Xie Jili resorted to fighting his own destiny, so neither his destiny nor Taijilong's destiny can be independent. Indeed, he coerced The high enthusiasm for war made us people have to support the war. But as time goes by, those who originally supported him will see the war because of the constant war, because of the continuous passage of time, because of the endless casualties and heavy burdens. Weary of economic loss. This is the end, the former will tear our prestige, and the latter will wear out the patience of the people. Even though we know our choice is right and dare to stick to our choice, the people only care about the present The outcome, pros and cons, will not give us a chance to persevere. Once the support of the people is lost and the fortress of public opinion collapses, it will be a cruel disaster! We already have internal rifts, and if the outcome of the war is unfavorable, I believe you can foresee this." He sighed, "Xiuxiu, you have always been a person who can judge the situation, it's not that we don't support you in winning, but we dare not gamble, even if you win by chance. , It is also a lose-lose situation, if you lose, it will be irreversible. This multiple-choice question is not difficult for us to do."

Bai Xiuxiu clenched her fists, and her nails dug into her already scarred palms. These words really shook her will to persist in fighting.She is not Xie Jili, she does not have such a firm belief.Stopping now is indeed an acceptable ending.

Bai Bohuai said with a cold face: "Soldiers, the important affairs of the country, the place of life and death, the way of life and death, you must pay attention to it. How can you be arrogant."

Bai Boqi nodded, and said softly: "As long as the electromagnetic artillery array is withdrawn, don't lose any vitality. We can say that we have won the victory if we can beat the star gate to such a mess. Xiuxiu, you have contributed a lot."

Bai Xiuxiu was in a daze. She didn't feel something hurt her until she heard her uncle say "contributing to the greatness", maybe it was the fingernails piercing into the palm of her hand. She thought of those colleagues who were sleeping at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean and the sea of ​​NF. I thought of the blood that stained the No. [-] ship, and the corpses piled up on the waves.If you give up so easily, it is not a betrayal of Xie Jili, but a betrayal of all those who sacrificed. They fought bloody not to let those in high positions continue to live in peace, but to give those who are struggling in the middle and at the bottom People who lie flat wish.

If she chooses to give up, she can fully imagine how things will develop next.She is not a saint, she does not have the idea of ​​"establishing a heart for the world, establishing a life for the people, inheriting knowledge for the past, and creating peace for all generations". She has never been so lofty, but she is not so cold-blooded that she ignores her colleagues and comrades Sacrifice, enjoy the warm wind of the West Lake and the intoxicating singing and dancing by yourself.

It seems that now is indeed a suitable time to retreat. The most important thing is that retreat is nothing but beneficial to her and her family. As long as she agrees to retreat, their Bai family and Yu family will be the biggest beneficiaries , she clearly knew what this meant.

Even for her, this is an unprecedented temptation.In charge of the Tai Chi Dragon, she will not only be able to complete the revenge against the Black Death, but also have enough power to protect those she wants to protect, such as Cheng Mo, so that he will not be wronged even a little bit.

It doesn't matter whether she is emotional or benevolent, but how can she ascend to the throne forged by the blood and bones of her colleagues.

"Maybe I've never been a qualified regular customer." Bai Xiuxiu thought to herself, she took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Someone told me that war is not a poker table, don't just think about how to keep your chips, Spelling out the enemy's bargaining chips is also the way to win. Especially the bullying enemy like Stargate, only by threatening them with death can they urge them to take the initiative to return to the negotiating table. I don't think it is time to retreat, I will Keep fighting the Stargates until they ask for peace or surrender."

Nie Yongsheng finally couldn't hold back anymore, stood up, patted the table, and shouted loudly: "You woman is crazy! Such a serious decision-making mistake is enough for you to go to the military tribunal! Bai Xiuxiu!"

"Xiuxiu" Bai Boqi couldn't believe it, and said heartbrokenly, "You are killing yourself!"

"If all the electromagnetic guns are destroyed by the Stargate people, it will not only lose the sea of ​​NF, but the Stargate will definitely go northward. At that time, you will become a sinner of the nation." Yu Gaoyuan also accused with righteous indignation.

Bai Xiuxiu sneered, "Don't be so absolute, my lords. Everyone knows who is a national sinner and who should go to the military tribunal! Let me make it clear!" After a pause, she said word by word, " What prevents us from winning is never the ferocity and cruelty of the enemy, but the weakness and betrayal of our own people. Please take your seats."

Yu Gaoyuan and Nie Yongsheng were trembling with anger, his father and uncle were ashamed, and the rest of the meeting were silent.No one thought that Xie Jili's death would bring a bigger trouble. Bai Xiuxiu was far tougher than they imagined, so tough that it was a bit unreasonable. She just wanted to prevent me from winning the bet. The madness to liquidate was written all over his face.

After a brief silence in the conference room, Bai Boqi said solemnly: "General Baishen, in the name of the council, I now order you to carry out the evacuation mission immediately."

There was no sound in the conference room, and most people had pessimistic expressions. They had no confidence in the battle and just wanted to preserve some strength.

Bai Xiuxiu didn't want to continue talking. Communicating with these stubborn old people is like playing the piano to a cow. She said coldly: "Sorry, Mr. Bai, I don't think I need to popularize "Tai Chi Dragon Wartime Rules and Regulations" to you. Finally, as a god general, I am the supreme commander of Tai Chi Dragon, and I have the right to make my choice. War is indeed destructive, but as a Tai Chi Dragon soldier, you must show the spirit of a soldier. I refuse to Retreat now."

After finishing speaking, Bai Xiuxiu decisively raised her hand and turned off the call. She has never said anything she wants so heartily. In the past, she was always cautious, good at reconciling, smoothing things over and being patient. Now she doesn't want to continue to be that delicate, thoughtful, and delicate person in the eyes of others. woman.She wanted to be happy, to be kind and to do her own way, she thought of Athena, that woman really made her a little envious, not because of her beauty, or because she was Cheng Mo's wife, but because of her unique character.

After being relieved, she also knew that this kind of venting was meaningless.It is a helpless move to replace a god general of the opponent with the No. [-] ship.According to the announcement, the position of the 'Seventh General' will be determined after the war.For Xingmen, the Seventh God will not have the instant combat power of Tai Chi Dragon, which is completely acceptable loss.Whether or not Stargate can be forced to take the initiative to return to the negotiating table depends on the development of the next battle situation.

"If you can force Stargate to negotiate, you've won."

As for victory, she did not dare to expect extravagance.

For her personally, the best ending is to die in battle on the blue sea.

Even better, it would be even more perfect to die in Cheng Mo's arms with a beautiful posture.

She felt a little ashamed that such a clichéd Mary Su plot had occurred in her heart, and said to herself in a low voice mockingly: "In this case, why not be bolder and imagine that he has become a hero like Monkey King who descended from the sky, Let us win the war?" She shook her head slightly, put away all unrealistic fantasies, stared at the kilometers on the screen, took a deep breath and said, "Get ready to fight, Bai Xiuxiu! Can you Not a bouquet in a vase, not a canary in a cage, you are a monument, a symbol, your own hero."

The red warning light began to flash, indicating that it was approaching the destination. This is the blocking point where it is expected to encounter the star gate, and Sidhu Reef is farther to the north.

Bai Xiuxiu activated the carrier, "I will never submit my life to the will of others." She put up her hair in a bun, put on her general cap, and put two pearl earrings on her ears.

The whistle of the engine came from a distance, and the horn of the decisive battle was about to sound.

The evening wind under the setting sun in the sea of ​​NF is scorching hot, and she stands in it like a more blazing white flame, burning in the silence and calm in the hustle and bustle.
