Episode 21 Chapter 8: Sacrifice Fang Jianxi!
"Mei Yuechu, the ghostly mecha warrior you sent to assassinate Anton wants to kill me. You sent people to kill me?!"
"No, really not. Even if you die, I don't want to hurt you, brother Xiaoyan!" Mei Yuechu said anxiously with a cry.
"Brother Xiaoyan, that person really has nothing to do with us. I have said it many times. Don't you believe what I say anymore?" Mei Yuechu said.
Tang Xiaoyan said: "Does it really have nothing to do with you? Mei Yuechu, ask yourself carefully, does it really have nothing to do with you? Ask yourself once, maybe the answer is that that person really has nothing to do with you? Ask twice, ask
Three times? Isn’t it possible that none of your memory fragments during this period has anything to do with the ghostly mecha samurai killer today? It’s not that this person is not sent by you, it has nothing to do with you, it’s not that you can’t clearly know his actions
Just treat it like you know nothing."
"My IQ is not high, but because my heart is pure, I can see some things more clearly." Tang Xiaoyan said lightly.
Mei Yuechu's expression changed slightly. She lowered her head and thought for a while, then raised her beautiful face slightly and said slowly: "I'm sorry, I still don't know. He still has nothing to do with us. He was not sent by us."
Tang Xiaoyan suddenly frowned, and then said slowly: "Before Mei Yuechu, you said that Fang Jianxi was taking risks, but now you are taking risks, you are taking risks, and you have a gambler's mentality. You are taking risks along the way.
Continuing down this dangerous road will bring about war."
"Are you also going to threaten me with war? Brother Xiaoyan?" Mei Yuechu asked: "Then I can tell you, brother Xiaoyan, that the alliance cannot afford to go to war with the Yamei Empire, and the alliance will not win.
Of course we don’t want war, we look forward to peace, and I am also close to the Alliance. But the dignity and sovereignty of the empire cannot be violated.”
Tang Xiaoyan shook his head and said: "You have been confused by certain forces. Then I can responsibly say that the outcome of the war may be disastrous for the alliance, and the entire alliance may fall apart. But I am sure that Yamei
The Empire will end up ten times worse than the Alliance."
"Not necessarily, brother Xiaoyan." Mei Yuechu said seriously: "Really, brother Xiaoyan."
Tang Xiaoyan opened his mouth slightly, but couldn't say anything, and said: "Well, then I have nothing to say."
…
Next, the situation between the Asian and American Empire and the Alliance became even more tense.
In addition to resolutely stating that the Alliance should repatriate Anton, the Asia-American Empire also insisted that some of the Alliance's officers stationed in the Asia-American Empire take full responsibility for this attack. Of course, the Alliance's surface attitude is not to make any concessions, but private contacts
However, Zhong said that they could be sent back to Anton. As for some of the officers responsible for the attack, the alliance also handed over a list, including the deputy commander of the alliance's garrison in the Asian and American Empire, and Fang Jianxi's superior driver of the combat camp.
The colonel and battalion commander. However, the Asian and American Empire was still not satisfied and demanded that Fang Jianxi be included in the list. The alliance military was immediately furious and directly issued a war threat and dispatched two fleets to conduct exercises around the Asian and American Empire.
The Asian and American Empire also sent three fleets to confront each other. Not only that, the Eastern Ocean Squadron of the Sith Federation also rushed to the waters of the Asian and American Empire to prepare to intervene. They couldn't wait to intervene as soon as their own affairs came to an end. But again, as long as
If the Sith Federation is stable and safe, the Alliance will never dare to use force against the Asian and American Empire.
Immediately afterwards, the Asian-American Empire made a rare announcement that it was preparing for a referendum. The content of the referendum was: whether to agree to the continued stationing of Eastern Alliance troops within the territory of the Asian-American Empire.
This move was almost blinding, and the Alliance immediately had no room for recovery. If the Asia-American Empire really passed a referendum to drive away the Alliance's garrison in the Asia-American Empire, then it would mean that the Alliance had no control over the Asia-America Empire.
The empire's policies have completely failed. No one in the alliance can shoulder this huge responsibility, not even the entire leadership.
On May 31st, the royal family of the Asian and American Empire announced that it would release the results of the referendum at seven o'clock in the evening, and the entire alliance was immediately pushed to the edge of the cliff.
To this end, the entire ruling class of the alliance held an emergency meeting at the Yajing Palace to make the final decision.
Tang Xiaoyan and Fang Jianxi were once again called to wait outside the conference room of Yajing Palace, but this time Fang Jianxi was no longer as proud as before, and was even more uneasy and angry than the last time.
Tang Xiaoyan waited here in the morning and waited until six o'clock in the evening. There was also a meeting in the conference room for eight hours, but no decision was made. Tang Xiaoyan had his lunch in the lounge.
, and the lunch of those decision-makers is also settled in the conference room.
Fang Jianxi didn't eat. Although he wanted to pretend to be nonchalant and eat, he put it down as soon as he took a bite, and then kept moving around restlessly.
Time is passing by little by little, and there is no more time to delay. There is only one hour until seven o'clock in the evening, and the alliance must respond within an hour.
At 5:10, a guard finally came over to inform Tang Xiaoyan and Fang Jianxi to go to the conference room. Yes, they went together.
Suddenly, Fang Jianxi said to Tang Xiaoyan: "The tides are turning, and now it's your turn."
Tang Xiaoyan ignored it, and Fang Jianxi continued: "You liked Ning Keke before, but now I tell you that it is not completely impossible for you and her to be together. You can step on my body to get the upper hand."
"When you are proud, you are carried away, and when you are frustrated, you are devastated." Tang Xiaoyan stared at Fang Jianxi and said, "When things really happen, your performance by Fang Jianxi really disappoints me!"
Then, Tang Xiaoyan walked directly past.
The conference room is still filled with smoke, and the ashtrays in front of many people's seats are full of cigarette butts. However, no one is smoking now, because it is about to enter the final decision. This decision may be a bit tragic for some people, so for
To show respect, I stopped smoking.
The Minister of the Interior asked Tang Xiaoyan: "The Asian and American Empire proposed to repatriate to Anton, proposed to supervise and control the alliance's garrison in the Asian and American Empire, and proposed that some officers should be responsible for this attack. Some of the people on the list are
You can see it in your hands."
Tang Xiaoyan looked down and saw Fang Jianxi as the first name.
"Based on your understanding of the emperor and the ruling prince of the Asian-American Empire, do you think we should agree to their conditions?" the Minister of Interior asked.
Tang Xiaoyan thought for a while and then said: "It shouldn't be..."
As soon as Tang Xiaoyan finished speaking, Fang Jianxi was stunned and looked at Tang Xiaoyan in disbelief. Even Fang Zhaoji raised his head and glanced at Tang Xiaoyan.
The interior minister asked: "Why?"
Really? Why? Once the Asian and American Empire really wants to drive away the alliance's troops stationed in its territory, what should the alliance do? Start a war? No, the Sith Federation is watching with eager eyes and sharpening its sword. Without a war, the army that has just been stationed for half a year will
Returning to the alliance in despair? Then all the previous efforts will be ruined, and those separatist forces that are already ready to move will start to attack one after another, and there will be a severe impact on the foundation of the entire alliance.
So, if you can sacrifice a few officers to gain temporary peace, why not? It doesn't even take much time. It only needs to slow down the Asian and American Empire for a month, and the alliance can adjust and organize enough strategic resources. Yes, Fang Jianxi is
Fang Zhaoji's son, the future leader of the military. But facing such a big situation, he is not insurmountable.
There is no one in this world who cannot be sacrificed.
"I still insist to this day that the risky actions taken by Fang Jianxi and other officers at that time were wrong." Tang Xiaoyan said: "But when things have reached this point, I feel that even if the alliance agrees to all the conditions of the Yamei Empire, it will not be enough."
It won’t help, and at most it can only ease for a short period of time, and soon the Asian and American Empire will put forward more severe conditions.”
Tang Xiaoyan said: "Because the conditions proposed by the Yamei Empire are no longer in line with their own interests. Previously, the attitude of the Yamei Empire royal family was that they were unwilling to offend Fang Jianxi, or in other words, the alliance military represented by General Fang Zhaoji.
forces, but now they directly proposed that Fang Jianxi must be included in the punishment list, showing that they have not hesitated to offend the military forces of the alliance. This means that they have officially taken a side in the struggle between the east and west worlds. They
I'm acting according to a specific script."
"Fang Jianxi must be punished, but that is the alliance's own business. Regarding the conditions proposed by the Yamei Empire at this time, my opinion is to directly reject it!" Tang Xiaoyan said.
The Minister of the Interior nodded and said: "Well, we understand your opinion, you can go out."
"Yes..." Tang Xiaoyan was about to turn around and leave.
"Wait a minute..." Suddenly Song Wulun stopped Tang Xiaoyan and said: "I asked Tang Xiaoyan to watch in the conference room. After all, the next content is not confidential to him. And I think the next moment will definitely
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I want Tang Xiaoyan to always remember the scene he’s waiting for."
Everyone's expressions suddenly became a little unhappy. Song Wulun's proposal was undoubtedly ridiculous. Tang Xiaoyan was not qualified to attend this meeting at his level. The reason why he was called in was because he was familiar with the royal family of the Asia-American Empire.
I just need to ask for his opinion.
After Song Wulun finished his proposal, everyone else's eyes immediately turned to Ning Zhengdao, waiting for his answer.
Ning Zhengdao didn't speak, but Fang Zhaoji suddenly spoke and said, "I'll stay if I stay. Fang Jianxi will also stay. I'll gain a lot of experience."
Fang Zhaoji spoke, and it was immediately difficult for others to refute him, because his role today would be very special.
Ning Zhengdao said: "The final time limit is up, everyone will vote on whether to agree to the conditions of the Yamei Empire."
Ning Zhengdao didn't say anything next. If he agreed, it could be said that Fang Jianxi's future was ruined. Even the other party's illness would have a great impact. More seriously, it would even seriously affect his succession as military leader.
, after all, the number one leader of the military is still Linghu Zong.
"Follow the old rules, if you agree, put a tick, if you don't agree, put a cross."
The thirty or so people present were busy writing their votes. No matter how difficult the decision was, all the votes were written out five minutes later and then cast into the ballot box. The Minister of the Interior poured out the votes and counted them on the spot, and the results came out soon.
, first handed it over to Ning Zhengdao.
Everyone ticks the box, even Linghu Zong ticks the box. Will everyone push against it?
But there is a cross-out. Although there is no signature, you can tell from the handwriting that it is Song Wulun. Song Wulun is Fang Zhaoji's enemy. If Fang Jianxi is killed, the biggest beneficiary seems to be Tang Xiaoyan. But now Song Wulun actually fights
cross.
Fang Jianxi had been staring closely at Ning Zhengdao's face, which was now pale. She immediately glanced at her father, Fang Zhaoji, and Fang Zhaoji nodded.
Suddenly, Fang Jianxi stood up and said loudly: "Commanders, I am willing to take full responsibility for this political incident."
sharp……
Not only Tang Xiaoyan, but everyone present sighed secretly.
This is also to risk death and survive. The situation is hopeless now, and Fang Jianxi decisively resists responsibility. Although it cannot change the final result, it can win over the hearts of the middle and lower-level military officers. If the situation changes in the future, Fang Jianxi today
This move is the biggest footnote to his Japanese side Jianxi's comeback.
There was silence in the venue, and Ning Zhengdao said to the Minister of the Interior: "Let someone call the royal family of the Asian and American Empire."
"yes……"
Immediately afterwards, under everyone's gaze, the Minister of Foreign Affairs called the Royal Family of the Asian and American Empire and announced that he agreed to the conditions proposed by the Imperial Family of the Asian and American Empire.
The call was very short, and the person who answered the phone was Prince Mei Jiyan. He only said: "We understand, thank you."
Then at seven o'clock, the royal family of the Asian and American Empire announced the results of the referendum: that is, although the people of the empire dislike the alliance's army very much, they can work hard to maintain relations with the alliance and accept the continued existence of the alliance's garrison, but they must receive the imperial troops.
To be continued...
