Chapter 83 Negotiation or Escape

Another person said: "The war will not end, but we can't get stuck in the quagmire of war. It's time to focus on our own development. The S-01888 star system is there, it can't run away, let's develop it first, and when we are strong enough, we will come back."

"We have no deep hatred with the unknown forces in the S-01888 star system, why do we have to entangle with it? If we want to give up, we should give up completely. The farther away from the S-01888 star system, the better. We will develop in other directions."

In the conference hall, everyone spoke up and expressed their opinions.

"We can't continue to drag it on. It's been nearly four years, and we haven't seen the shadow of the ecological space station. Why is this? Don't you know it? We need 200,000 people to complete the task for everyone, but we have no place to put 200,000 people. This abnormal development must not continue."

"That's right. If we continue to fight, the development of "UNSC" will lag far behind other allied forces. Let's negotiate. If the negotiations don't work, we will stay away from the S-01888 star system. The unknown forces don't know the location of the "UNSC" base camp. At least in the next five years, they won't be able to find it here."

"Then stay away from the S-01888 star system and disappear in the unknown forces' In the sight, there must be conditions for peace talks. We can't lose face. We just failed temporarily, not that we will fail forever. "

"Yes, we can't negotiate. Isn't there news from "Home of Earth" that the unknown forces may be Asian groups? How can we compromise with them? No matter what you think, I will never agree. "

"Yes, we can't negotiate. Talking means admitting defeat, compromise, or even compensation. I can't accept it. "

"Hide, stay away from the S-01888 star system, don't let them find us. "

"That's right, we must temporarily avoid their edge..."

As the governor and councillors expressed their opinions one after another.

Wood Stevens already understood everyone's attitude.

Wendel stood up and stopped everyone from arguing.

"Let's do this. Those who support peace talks raise their right hands, and those who support hiding raise their left hands. The minority obeys the majority. "

Speaking of this, Wendell turned to Stanley Wood, who was in the main seat, and asked: "Speaker of the Parliament, how about this?"

Wood Stevens naturally had no objection.

Don't make decisions alone if the team can make a decision.

If a person makes a decision, he will bear the consequences alone.

Wood Steven nodded and said, "Okay!"

Hearing this, Wendell looked at the people at the round table and said, "Let's get started!"

As Wendell's voice fell, almost everyone raised their left hands one after another.

Everyone is a member of the "UNSC". No one will choose peace talks when there is a choice between the two.

This is human nature.

Why choose the option that is embarrassing when there is a non-humiliating option?

The answer has appeared, and Wendell sat down again.

With the answer, everyone looked at Wood Steven.

Without hesitation, Wood Steven made the final decision.

He stood up and supported his hands on the round table.

He looked around at everyone with a serious face and said, "Then hide. From now on, the UNSC will go all out to explore and occupy valuable star systems. Whoever discovers a star system will own it. The parliament will assist you to develop independently. No matter where you are, I hope you remember that you will always be an inseparable part of the UNSC. Whether now or in the future, we must unite to overcome all difficulties and all enemies, and finally, head for the more distant starry sky..."

Wood Steven's words are very inspiring.

The Milky Way is very large, and exploring the distant and unknown starry sky is the yearning of everyone.

Everyone at the round table stood up, saluted Stanley Wood, and said in unison: "Yes!"

Just as Wood Steven said, a failure did not defeat the UNSC.

On the contrary, it made the UNSC more united.

In order to wash away the shame of failure, everyone will work harder in the future.

They will not forget this failure, and will never forget this shame.

……

S-01888 star system.

Time passed quickly, and before we knew it, three days had passed since the fleet battle.

The Empire did not disrupt the rhythm of development due to the appearance of the "UNSC" fleet.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

"A "Firestorm-class" escort ship was severely damaged, and it is estimated that it will take a month to repair it. The other warships were not damaged."

In the hall outside the master bedroom of the Far Journey.

For Li Meng, today is another leisurely day.

Ralph is leading the fleet to explore the nearby starry sky.

The seven warships are not together, but dispersed, and each ship performs exploration missions.

There are psychic communications from the Star Domainers almost every moment.

Without the Star Torch, in order not to get lost in the subspace, the astropath in the warship can only determine the direction from Li Meng.

Fortunately, psychic communication is relatively simple. Through the projection of the Astropath and the Navigator in the subspace, Li Meng can also accurately find the location of the warship.

Without the Astronomican, as a "living saint", he can only temporarily replace the role of the Astronomican.

Otherwise, if he really waits for the Astronomican to be built before exploring outside, it will be too late.

Beside the pool, Li Meng was lying on a recliner in a golden robe, listening to 001's report.

"The technology blueprints of the Fury-class interceptor and Starhawk bomber have been analyzed and are being put into production. It is expected that 2,000 units will be produced within five months, including 1,000 Fury-class fighters and 1,000 Starhawk bombers. Once they are offline, they will be installed on the Ark."

Except for the Ark, Li Meng's warships have no hangars.

Although some carrier-based aircraft can be stuffed into the harbor, the harbor and the hangar are two concepts.

It doesn't mean that you can place carrier-based ships if there is space. You also need matching facilities.

As if thinking of something, Li Meng asked: "How many people were captured in the last battle?"

001: "There are 67 people in total, 21 of whom have been transformed into slaves, 13 of whom have been selected by the priests of science and technology and will be transformed into machine slaves, and the rest have already belonged to the Empire. They are willing to believe in the Emperor and become citizens of the Empire."

Only 67 people?

It seems that there are not many crew members on the Steadfast-class frigate.

As for the prisoners being transformed into machine slaves and slaves, Li Meng has no idea.

As the defeated party, since they are unwilling to become citizens of the Empire, they should spend their whole lives to atone for their sins.

Li Meng shrugged his nose and looked at Sandra not far away.

Li Meng waved to her, and then patted the recliner beside him.

Sandra naturally knew what "king" meant.

A hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, and Sandra finally walked over.

Sandra sat down next to Li Meng.

The stronger scent of "Ambergris" perfume mixed with body fragrance hit Li Meng's nose, which made him feel refreshed.

Irina was away for the past two days, and Sandra has always been by his side.

Women always have those days in a month.

There are only a few women around Li Meng, and if he doesn't see them one day, it's probably because of that.
