All the stars know that the general wants to chase me

Seeing that Clive was on the verge of going berserk, He Qin's exposed half of his face turned red and livid, and finally suppressed his anger, and smiled calmly, "Haha, you're right, The Federation will not pick things up everywhere, so it is not as busy as the Empire, I think you will be overwhelmed soon."

As he said that, he leaned forward, stretched his right hand forward, and said, "Remember to call me if you need it", and then cut off the communication signal with a snap, and the screen returned to darkness.

Everyone looked at Xiu En quietly, even the officers did not dare to speak.

However, Xiu En was not irritated by Clive at all, or he didn't take the other party seriously at all. He found a chair and sat down, and directly started an emergency meeting.

Xiu En said: "Everyone heard Clive's words just now, and everyone understands the situation. I won't talk nonsense, and you can talk about your own thoughts."

As soon as Xiu En spoke, everyone chattered into discussions.

A captain said: "Although the number of star thieves is large, the military force of the entire border station can still handle it. We don't need to let the Federation get involved."

Another lieutenant said: "I don't agree. It's better to avoid the war. Although all our forces combined can compete with the opponent, once there are casualties or attrition, there will be a huge gap in the defense line. When the time comes, the Federation will It's easy to break through our weak defenses and enter the empire."

"This raid came too suddenly," another person said: "There are not many people who can be sent up. The number of opponents is too large. Our people can't last long. It is not so fast to order reinforcements from the imperial capital, but if we can Using the resources of the allies, the odds of winning are much higher."

"As soon as we defeated Lie Teng, the opponent immediately made a comeback, and brought the other two Star Thieves with us, which proved that we must have come prepared. At this time, the Federation sees the right time to make a move. How dare you use their resources?!"

"What do you mean by that? Is it possible that the Federation dares to openly cooperate with the Star Thieves? This is not allowed by interstellar law!"

……

From the normal discussion at the beginning, everyone became more and more excited. You expressed your opinions one by one, and everyone felt that they were reasonable. They desperately hoped that the general would adopt their suggestions. In addition, time passed by every minute. The army of the Star Thieves was getting closer and closer to them, and the entire control room suddenly fell into a tense atmosphere.

Xiu En had been listening to them all the time, and didn't express a single word of opinion. When everyone was arguing, he turned sideways, turned to He Qin who had been sitting not far behind him, and said, "What do you think?"

The person who was asked paused, looked up and found more than a dozen pairs of eyes in the room looking at him, he swallowed, and thought for a while before saying: "I personally think that since the Federation offered to help us, Then we definitely hope that we can agree to them. If it is just to choke us, there is no need to choose this point in time. You can wait for us to be beaten halfway before negotiating with us, so that they will not be exposed. There is news from an informant in the island group."

After the words were spoken, He Qin saw the affirmative look in Xiu En's eyes, which further confirmed his guess was correct, and he spoke with more confidence in the next words.

"They can only do this for one purpose, that is, they want to exchange a certain condition with us after helping us, and this condition is likely to be impossible to negotiate through normal channels, so they choose to use Star Pirates as the entry point... "

He Qin thought about it while talking, and forgot where he was and who were around him, and discussed to himself: "They may want something, or even a certain person, and this thing Things cannot be obtained through official means. If we don’t agree to their request, maybe they will use other means to achieve this goal, but if we agree, firstly, we can contain the attack of the Xingdao Group, and secondly, we can Find out the other party's intentions and kill two birds with one stone."

After He Qin finished speaking, he found that the surroundings were eerily quiet. He raised his head and saw that more than a dozen officers present fell silent, looking at him thoughtfully.

He realized what he had said belatedly, and realized that he might be too conspiratorial, and he was not qualified to say such things, so he looked at Xiu En in a panic for help.

However, Xiu En didn't blame him, and he was also lost in thought, but there was some imperceptible shock and appreciation in his eyes.

At this time, a person suddenly stood up, patted the table and said to He Qin, "Your conjecture is too conspiracy theory, isn't it? Isn't the most urgent thing to consider about the Star Thieves? In less than 30 minutes, it will be within the range of both sides, if the Federation really just wants to help the allies, it will be too late after such a delay!"

When this person said this, everyone came back to their senses, and some people reacted after being reminded like this——

"That's right! The first thing to consider now is the issue of the Star Thieves. The Federation is just helping us to work together to eliminate the Star Thieves. The Star Thieves are the common enemy of the entire interstellar world!"

The huge control room was now divided into two forces. One side agreed to accept the aid from the Federation, while the other side opposed it. However, the opposing faction couldn't put forward any good opinions. The situation was a bit tilted towards the Federation.

He Qin stared at the person who refuted him just now, always feeling that something was wrong.

This person has been insisting on accepting the assistance of the Federation from the very beginning. Although he also thinks this method is feasible, in the end he just wants to find out what the purpose of the Federation is. At the same time, it is naturally the best to solve the problem of star robbers. , but this person simply thinks that the Federation is an ally, and the ally will not harm them, so they want to point their guns at the Star Thieves together.

What He Qin remembers correctly is that this person seems to be a lieutenant, and he can't help but wonder if the current international situation is really too good.It's easy, how peaceful it is for someone with such a naive idea to be a lieutenant.

Seeing that the situation was one-sided, He Qin hesitated whether to say a few words to remind everyone that the timing of the Federation's appearance was too ingenious, but at this moment Xiu En raised his hand, and the people who were arguing ceased quickly.

He asked the major sitting below him, "How long will it take for the reinforcements to arrive?"

——"Already on the way, it is estimated that it will arrive in less than 40 minutes."

"Yeah." Xiu En glanced around lightly, and seeing the doubts on everyone's faces, he explained to everyone: "When I received the first jump response from the Star Thieves, I asked Major William to notify Major General Harvey who was in the imperial capital. , It has been about four hours since now, and it should be about the time."

As soon as Xiu En said this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but there were still some people present with pale faces, and they couldn't figure out what they were thinking.

Xiu En remained calm, seeing everyone's reactions in his eyes.

Someone immediately made a suggestion: "Since the reinforcements are coming, we can also prepare to fight against the Star Thieves. This time I will see if I don't beat them all up, and beat them to the ground!"

"That's right!" This statement was echoed by many people, and the atmosphere was relaxed for a while, "Those bastards, dare to declare war on us? Are they drifting away or looking down on our imperial army? It's time to give them some help!" Look at the colors!"

Xiu En didn't say a word about it. When everyone thought that he would definitely refuse the Federation's assistance, and even He Qin was thinking about how to get Admiral Xiu En to consider carefully, he heard him say: "Send a message to the Federation , Said that we want to accept their assistance, hoping to unite the strength of the two countries to fight against interstellar pirates.”

Major William responded, and immediately carried out Xiu En's order. Those people who were preoccupied just now were stunned by Xiu En's operation, and they all slapped the table to persuade Xiu En to think twice.

As for Xiu En, as if he hadn't heard their words at all, he turned his chair and faced He Qin, and the two looked at each other.

Xiu En folded his hands on his waist, and smiled easily, "They want to make demands with us, so I'll see what they want to make difficult for me to accept."

He Qin's chest was suffocated, and his heart began to beat faster for no reason.
