Chapter 2199 Attractive Conditions
"The Marquis of Liaohai misunderstood again. I don't think you should have this preconceived concept, believing that we must have malicious intentions towards you and the Thunder Fleet. In the final analysis, our goal is the same, that is, the stability and strength of the empire."
Dongfang Bai took a deep breath and hid his true emotions again, but said with a gloomy face, "This matter is very important, and we will not take action without conclusive evidence, so there is no need for the Liaohai Hou to provide more information. We are here this time mainly to ask the Liaohai Hou to issue a public statement."
Lei Chenghu raised his eyebrows: "What statement?"
"In the name of the 'Super Commander of the Thunder Fleet, Commander-in-Chief of the Third War Zone of the Expeditionary Force, General of the Empire, and Marquis of Liaohai', a public statement was issued to firmly support the Senate's decisions in the fight against the Blood Alliance and other treasons in the army; and criticize the serious treason crimes of radical organizations in the army such as the Blood Alliance, Wanying Society, and the Charge Society; and hope that the blinded officers and soldiers will be able to return to their future lost ways, truly be loyal to the Empire, the Senate, and His Majesty the Emperor."
Dongfang Bai rolled his eyes and said, "The specific wording can be drafted by the Marquis of Liaohai himself. We guarantee that no word will be deleted and modified. Just express the above three meanings."
Lei Chenghu narrowed his eyes: "Is it that I want me to be absolutely loyal to the Senate?"
Dongfang Bai raised his voice slightly: "The Senate represents the supreme glory of the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor. Isn't it worthy of absolute loyalty?"
Lei Chenghu's voice gradually became hard: "Of course, the Senate deserves the absolute loyalty of every imperial soldier, but it may not be true for a certain veteran!"
"Marquis of Liaohai, you seem to have no clear understanding of the current situation!"
Dongfang Bai grinded his teeth like a hyena, and his voice became more and more gloomy. "We all believe that your loyalty is to properly resolve the aftermath caused by the "Blood Alliance Incident" without causing this aftermath to spread to all front-line troops, turning into a storm, and eventually causing trouble to the point where it was uncontrollable!
“Your public statement is the easiest and most effective way!
“As long as you can make such a statement, both we and the Senate will absolutely believe you and end the so-called ‘censorship’ immediately.
"If you can go further and cooperate with our investigation of the radicals hiding in the Third War Zone and the Thunder Fleet and let them surrender, we can even ease most of them. After being under quarantine for a period of time, they still have a chance to return to the fleet!
"Isn't this the best choice for each other?"
Lei Chenghu thought deeply, and his small and round eyes were completely hidden behind wrinkles and scars.
As for whether you are thinking about Dongfang Bai’s suggestions, it is unknown.
Half a minute later, Lei Chenghu asked calmly: "If I could publish such a public statement that absolutely supports the Senate and cooperate with all actions of the Special Inquiry Committee after I returned to the Thunder Fleet and stabilized the situation on the front line, would it be acceptable?"
"Well..."
Dongfang Bai smiled again, like a pointed-mouthed beast, "We don't think you need to return to the Thunder Fleet so anxiously. Out of your respect, I can personally reveal a 'undoubted' gossip.
"In order to commend your outstanding contributions in the "Imperial Strikes Against the War" in the past decade, the Senate has been discussing the rank of "Imperial Marshal". You should know that the Empire has not had a new Marshal in a full hundred years, which is truly a supreme glory.
"And once you are really granted the rank of Imperial Marshal and the position of commander-in-chief of the Third War Zone of the Expeditionary Force, it would be too aggrieved to the Marquis of Liaohai.
"The Senate is considering the establishment of a new 'Joint Commander Headquarters'. I hope you can return to the imperial capital and take office as the 'Joint Commander Headquarters' and continue to make great contributions to the empire, the Senate and His Majesty the Emperor in the new position as in the past."
"Joint Command Headquarters?"
Lei Chenghu chewed this new position carefully. He could not see the surging emotions in his heart from his eyebrows and wrinkles. He said calmly, "What is this? We have bloated and large, mutually restricted institutions such as the 'Ministry of Defense', the 'Military Command' and the 'General Staff'. Is it not enough to place so many powerful children who are useless and have no choice but to make a new one? Why do we do if we have a muscle like a cecum?"
Dongfang Bai's eyes twitched quickly, ignoring the teeth in the old general's words, and continued to smile: "What the Marquis of Liaohai said is very true. It is precisely because the empire's current government and military structure overlap, which hindered and even intrigues, which caused many problems such as inefficiency, inefficiency, and overdosed people. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a "Joint Command Headquarters" to lead and balance the conflicts between various departments.
"At the same time, the "Imperial Counterattack" for more than ten years has initially achieved strategic goals. The next stage will focus on solidifying defense zones and actively restoring the productivity of the world. Under this new situation, the existence of the "Expeditionary Force" has become out of place.
"At present, the Senate is planning to reorganize and reorganize the base camp and front-line troops of the Expeditionary Force. Some of the Expeditionary Forces will be reorganized into border guards and continue to be stationed on the front line; another part of the army that has traveled thousands of miles will return to their hometowns and be rebuilt as local troops; and a part of the Expeditionary Forces will be dispersed to the New Restoration World and become the first force to build a new world.
"This involves various interests, which are complicated and complicated. There must be a leader with high prestige and selflessness to coordinate everything. Looking at the entire empire, who can take this great task except the Marquis of Liaohai?"
When Lei Chenghu laughed at Dongfang Bai for a long time when he heard the other party say so "righteousness", he laughed and stared at Dongfang Bai for a long time. Until the leader of the "Guangtong" felt a little nervous, he said: "I understand. I want me to leave my fleet and argue with the Ministry of National Defense, Military Command, General Staff, and many powerful people. Is this all?"
"When, of course not."
Even though his true body was far away from the sea of stars, Dongfang Bai was still staring at Lei Chenghu's scorching eyes and sweating all over his forehead, and his smile became even more flattering. "If the Marquis of Liaohai are willing to return to the 'Joint Commander Headquarters' of the imperial capital, the Senate promises to establish the 'Jiahu Realm' in the world as the hereditary fief of the Marquis of Liaohai. As long as the empire exists for one day, the Marquis of Jiahu Realm will always be named Lei!"
"The Jiahu Realm is the richest of the dozens of newly restored worlds. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk t
Lei Chenghu smiled brightly, "Is there any?"
"have."
Dongfang Bai stared at every wrinkle on Lei Chenghu's face and threw out his trump card, "Since he is the first new marshal in the empire in a century and the chief of the commander-in-chief, then it is natural to enter the Senate and become the supreme 'emperor'?"
"The Marshal of the Empire, the Elder of the Empire, the Lord of the Jiahu Realm, and the Minister of the Joint Command..."
Lei Chenghu seemed to be thinking carefully, "This is the conditions for your transaction. All I have to do is make a public statement and leave the Thunder Fleet forever?"
"We can discuss how to deal with the Thunder Fleet slowly, and the result will definitely satisfy the Marquis of Liaohai."
Dongfang Bai's eyes shining and said, "I am willing to say openly to the Marquis of Liaohai that the Thunder Fleet has indeed made great contributions to the empire in the past century, and it is to resist the iron walls of the Holy Alliance. But now the war situation has reversed, and the Holy Alliance has been defeated and has no power to fight back. There is no need for the front line, nor is it capable of maintaining so many permanent troops.
"The officers and brothers of the Thunder Fleet have been immersed in the Shura Blood Prison for a whole hundred years. How can we bear to see them continue to suffer from torture on the front line? Shouldn't we find a way to make them live a comfortable life for a few days?
"There are so many rich resources in the New Resurrection World, and even the Senate is willing to find some beautiful mountains, rivers, birds and flowers, and quiet and rich planets to accommodate the soldiers who have worked hard and made great contributions. The Empire will never treat any hero unfairly.
"What's more, there is a 'Blood Alliance Incident' incident, which involves all aspects of the front-line troops. At such a delicate time, it is not that we deliberately target the Thunder Fleet, but any deep space fleet on the front line, and maintaining such a large scale and such strong independence, it is not good for all aspects, right?"
Lei Chenghu laughed lowly, revealing his teeth stained with lead gray by artillery fire and gunpowder, and said, "It sounds very reasonable, but what if I still refuse?"
"The Senate believes in the loyalty and wisdom of the Marquis of Liaohai, and knows that even if you don't consider the future of yourself and your family, you will definitely consider the future of the Thunder Fleet and the Empire."
Dongfang Bai's backbone bent down and looked at Lei Chenghu from bottom to top. "If you really think about the Thunder Fleet and the Empire, you don't want a huge storm that swept across the sea of stars and affected many people in the Thunder Fleet, you will definitely not refuse."
"No, I refuse."
Lei Chenghu answered lightly without even hesitating for half a second.
The flattering dry smile on Dongfang Bai's face completely solidified.
It was like a hyena rushing out of the bushes and running towards the corpse of the giant beast. Just as she was about to sharpen her teeth and feast on her, she found that the giant beast suddenly woke up and stared at it with her brown eyes widened.
"For, why?"
Dongfang Bai's face was as pale as the name, and he said word by word, "Marquis of Liaohai, General Lei! Please believe in the sincerity of the Senate, and put the overall situation first, the overall situation!"
