As soon as these two sarcastic words came out, Jiang Jianming's heart sank, and he first grabbed the wrist of the crown prince beside him.

Averting his eyes again, Lai An's complexion was indeed covered with a layer of coldness, and the evil spirit in his eyes almost turned into a sharp sword.

"Your Highness." Jiang Jianming suddenly lowered his voice, and at the same time gave him a look.

Regardless of other things, Lai An should never stand up for him at this moment. The crown prince has just returned after three years of disappearance, so he cannot give people the excuse of favoritism.

"Admiral Celine, I know that you have lost many excellent soldiers just now, and it is inevitable that you will be sad."

It was Xie Yuduo who broke the deadlock with his voice, and he lazily said, "But it won't be reduced to the same level as Lieutenant General Boris, right?"

Boris stared angrily: "Xie Yuduo!!"

One sentence made a sarcasm for two people, so clever... Tang Zhen quietly gave the major general an admiring look.

Celine: "Major General Xie, this is the general headquarters of the military. A mere new colonel, even if he is someone loved by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, shouldn't have the privilege of talking nonsense to disrupt order."

As she spoke, she cast her contemptuous eyes on the young disabled human being, "Of course, if he has a good idea, he can also try to convince me."

The audience was silent.

Jiang Jianming frowned——that sentence was just blurted out in a flash of inspiration. At this moment, there is really no evidence of the connection between alien creatures and crystal chaos disease, and he has no intention of causing trouble.

The black-haired young man lowered his brows and pursed his lips, then lowered his head slightly, and said calmly, "No, I was rude."

"The general of the defeated army," unexpectedly the crown prince raised his eyes suddenly, looked sideways at Celine, and said coldly between his thin lips, "the skill of the mouth is unabated, and the spirit is commendable."

These words were so sharp that they could pierce the heart, and Celine's face suddenly turned pale and then turned purple: "Your Highness!"

"Your Highness." Jiang Jianming also called him in a deep voice, the pupils of the crippled human beings were like crystal clear jade.

He tightened his hands even more, his tone was almost stern, and he said in an almost inaudible voice, "It can't be like this, Your Highness."

Lai An ignored him, and he gave a low laugh, "Every word you speak must be carefully considered, and seniority is considered...Does the general think this is gathering people to write a military report?"

He raised his eyebrows like a cold knife, suddenly stretched out his hand to embrace Jiang Jianming, and said proudly: "But I'm not one of them, don't mess with him."

Celine stared at the crown prince in disbelief, her teeth creaked for a long time, but she didn't dare to say anything, and sat down resentfully.

"..." Jiang Jianming reluctantly pulled Lai An's hand off.

He knew that for His Royal Highness, just satirizing the other party was the utmost tolerance.

"Okay." Old Marshal Chen suddenly said, "Your Highness calm down, let the meeting continue."

Old Lieutenant General Luther was frightened into a cold sweat by the tense situation just now, so he quickly stood up to smooth things over, "Yes, let's continue the meeting, the meeting."

"The current situation is like this... Preliminary judgments show that the Lava Space Pirates, Crystal Cult, and this group of highly intelligent alien creatures belong to the same gang. The details of the enemy are not clear, and they pose a certain degree of threat to the empire."

"Especially those alien creatures. Their existence alone is enough to cause panic throughout the empire. Although we have strictly blocked the news,..."

The old lieutenant general made a summary analysis for about ten minutes, and the content was nothing more than how dangerous the situation was and so on.

Soon someone became impatient and asked, what do the military headquarters and the generals think.

"It's very simple... Major General Xie."

It was Celine who cleared her throat again, and she looked around the three Yin Beidou generals again, "As well as Lieutenant General Jin and Major General Emma."

The names of the three Yin Beidou generals were ordered.Jiang Jianming, who was listening to the meeting quietly, suddenly had some bad premonitions.

Subconsciously, he looked at Lai An again.The latter didn't seem to be in a good mood, and when he recovered, he gave him a vicious look.

I only heard Celine say: "I hope that the Silver Beidou Interstellar Expeditionary Force will adopt a defensive posture for a period of time to come, and take on the responsibility of guarding the empire together with Jin Rilun."

"First of all, start with a thorough investigation of the Yu Region from the three alien planets to the empire. If there are traces of alien creatures, they should be eliminated immediately to ensure that such a tragedy will not happen again."

Xie Yuduo was taken aback for a rare moment: "What did you say?"

"Admiral Celine," Lieutenant General Jin of the second fortress stood up, his face sank, "You don't know how far the alien star is from the empire, it's a huge workload."

"Can I understand that... you hope that Yinbeidou, especially the first fortress of Yinbeidou, will stop the exploration of distant stars-completely switch to a shrinking strategy?"

Hiss... There was a thin gasp, and several generals whispered to each other.

Jiang Jianming's face was slightly pale, he clenched his teeth suddenly, but he went to press His Royal Highness Lai An again.

Celine nodded: "Yes, this is also the last topic of our meeting."

"The general policy adopted by Yin Beidou's interstellar expeditionary force for a period of time to come is to advance or to shrink—"

Before Celine finished speaking, Xie Yuduo had already jumped up, pointing at the female general's nose and yelling: "Celine!! Don't let the **** use your mouth here!"

"Golden Rilun's hundreds of thousands of people can't defend the empire, you don't want to wipe the rust on the golden shield, but want to abolish the silver spear, let me tell you... don't even think about it, don't even think about it!!"

Everyone in the audience was taken aback by Xie Yuduo's sudden outburst. The major general looked like a dragon whose scales had been touched, roaring with red eyes, and most of the general Jin Rilun pointed at him and scolded them bloody..

Tang Zhen couldn't hold him back: "Major General! Major General, calm down, my Major General!"

"Xie Yuduo!"

Old Marshal Chen said sternly, "Sit down for me!"

"Commander!!" Xie Yuduo raised his head abruptly, he gasped heavily with excitement, and the veins on his neck burst out, "The expedition fleet is already very close to the outer edge of the crystal nest, and the Silver Beidou has never gone so smoothly before.It’s because we finally opened the Golden Dawn Crown, relying on those remaining information!”

His voice was hoarse, "...this is the chance that His Highness risked his life for back then, Commander-in-Chief!!"

On the seat opposite to Xie Yuduo, Major General Tang said with a complicated expression: "Major General Xie, but you need to know one thing... It's not like no one has ever arrived at the crystal nest before."

Tang Zhen let go of Xie Yuduo's hand in a daze: "Father?"

"From the emperor's sacred battle to your silver Beidou's countless expedition fleets, many of those brave fighters have indeed broken through the outer periphery of the crystal nest..."

Major General Tang seemed a bit unbearable, but after a few seconds, he still said the truth: "It's just that they were all killed after reaching the crystal nest... That's all."

Celine said lightly: "It is very likely that there is nothing in the crystal nest, it is just a dead place in the universe, like a black hole that will be torn apart as soon as it enters."

Luther sighed and murmured: "Yes, but the empire is alive, hundreds of millions of soldiers and civilians are alive, in the video brought by Admiral Celine - the two maintenance officers, and the eternal waitingMothers who don’t see their sons coming home are people who live in the moment.”

The old general looked at Xie Yuduo almost pleadingly: "...and your wife and daughter, Major General Xie."

Several generals spoke one after another, and more and more people nodded in agreement.Even if there were three or two people who objected, their voices were quickly drowned out.

Xie Yuduo stood there hunched over, gasping for breath with red eyes, for a moment he showed a sense of desperation to resist.

Even though the full name of the Silver Beidou is the Silver Beidou Interstellar Expeditionary Force, the second fortress still bears part of the pressure to resist space pirates, and the third fortress mainly supports the scientific research of the Black Shark Base.

For so many years, the only military fortress that has maintained an offensive posture against the distant stars in the true sense is the first fortress of Yin Beidou.

The so-called contraction is also the contraction of the first fortress.

Seeing the appearance of this flamboyant young general, even Celine seemed uncomfortable, and couldn't help persuading her: "This is only temporary, Major General."

"When the intelligent alien creatures are wiped out, your Silver Big Dipper will still be the Silver Big Dipper pointing at distant stars."

"Sit down." Old Marshal Chen said to Xie Yuduo, although his face was still firm, his voice slowed down a bit, "Be obedient."

Xie Yuduo closed his eyes, looked up with a long sigh, and sat back on his seat, "The Silver Dipper is not mine, it belongs to the empire...I obey orders."

Jiang Jianming looked at the major general.

Now he understands why Xie Yuduo would rather risk dissatisfaction than send troops without permission, and why he told him in that tone that this might be his last chance.

Lai An is also looking at the major general.

Once, when he was still Garcia, he stayed in the first fortress of Yin Beidou for three years, and also watched Xie Yuduo for three years.

He knew better than anyone else that the expedition to the Star Sea was this man's belief.

So at this time, I should speak, Lai An...or so Garcia thought to himself.

Didn't he choose to take over the role of crown prince just to be able to speak at such a time?

But the wrist was pressed so hard by Jiang Jianming, the pale profile of this man was extremely calm, as if nothing could crush him.

He should obviously know that if the strategic policy of Yin Beidou turns to shrink after that, it is very likely that no more expeditionary fleets will be sent in a few years or decades.

And a handicapped human being who suffers from chronic crystal disorder and fails to receive timely treatment at the early stage of the disease will not have such a long life as "a few decades".

"Your Highness." Jiang Jianming lowered his eyes and said quickly in a low voice, "You can't be more willful than once. Please don't express your opinion this time."

It's easier for me to speak now, Garcia thought.

It's just that questions from the generals will also flock.

He is fearless when it comes to debating the situation in distant stars and analyzing the best strategy for the fleet.

But if you ask about the situation of the major legions in the empire?

What if you ask about finances, public opinion, or any street corner in the nine Star City?Can he answer fluently without revealing his flaws?

The depths of Garcia's pupils darkened coldly, and the tip of his teeth trembled slightly under the excessively restrained anger, but he didn't speak.

he can't talk...

He has not yet become the real His Highness Lai An.

Jiang Jianming suddenly stood up.

"Sorry, can I speak?" The clear and quiet voice echoed, and the young officer looked up at Old Marshal Chen, "Just a few words."

Old Marshal Chen smiled, this was the first time he smiled at the meeting: "Of course."

"Nerds haven't never had survivors."

Jiang Jianming said indifferently: "Because of some personal matters, I have carefully checked the historical materials related to the holy battle. In the fourth holy battle, the emperor probably broke through the periphery of the crystal nest."

"Everyone should know what happened later. The emperor abnormally replaced the silver Beidou of "conquering the distant stars" with the golden sun wheel of "guarding the empire", and led 200,000 elites to the crystal nest, where they all died in the end."

Jiang Jianming sat down, "The above is the end of my words."

……what?

After Jiang Jianming finished speaking, he was startled suddenly, and belatedly, he realized how this matter was subtly aligned, like two gears that could mesh together.

Emperor Kaios suspected to have entered the crystal nest during the fourth holy battle. A few years later, he suddenly brought 200,000 gold sun wheels to the crystal nest again for no reason, gone forever.

As for the emperor's "only child"—of course, after seeing the secrets of the Black Shark base, this "child" must first put a question mark—Lian Keos also suddenly went to Crystal Nest one day, and refused toRevealing the reason, likewise gone forever.

Silence lasted for a while in the virtual space of the meeting.

The time for everyone to be silent has exceeded the time it took for Jiang Jianming to say that short sentence.

After a while, General Emma of Yin Beidou licked his dry lips, and said with unsteady breath: "What do you want... what do you want to say?"

Jiang Jianming said frankly: "Supplementing historical materials, it's better to be more rigorous."

Silence fell for the second time.

Of course, no one would believe the nonsense of supplementing historical materials.

Old Marshal Chen's eyes became deeper and more complicated, he didn't speak, but let out a breath silently.

Xie Yuduo frowned, and said tentatively: "Where are the corroborating materials and evidence?"

Jiang Jianming: "Major General, I didn't know the topic of this meeting in advance. But I have an impression of the information I consulted at the beginning. Please give me some time to sort it out."

Half an hour later, Jiang Jianming tore off his terminal patch, closed his eyes and let out a long breath.

In front of him was a clean conference room at the military headquarters, and the small green lights of the communication equipment were still flashing.

The military general meeting is over.

The pressure of holding this kind of meeting is actually very high, the five senses are virtualized, and the high-intensity concentration... All kinds of exhaustion are flooding up, and now it makes him feel tight in the chest and short of breath.

In the end, Marshal Chen ordered the entire Jinrilun army to enter a wartime state, and made every effort to investigate and eliminate highly intelligent alien creatures that might exist inside and outside the empire.

The second is to guard against the lava Space Pirates and continue to hunt down the Crystal Cult.

Xie Yuduo's expeditionary fleet was allowed to go to the Yu Region outside the crystal nest, but it was not allowed to go deep, and was immediately withdrawn.

The strategic policy of Silver Beidou is still undecided.

Jiang Jianming got over the exhaustion and turned to look at His Royal Highness next to him: "It's a good result. I feel that Old Marshal Chen is also hesitating, or maybe he wants to ask His Majesty..."

He deliberately smiled lightly, "That's actually easy to handle. I feel that His Majesty's intention to march is quite obvious."

...Garcia didn't look at him, but remained silent, with no emotion on his stern face.

However, Jiang Jianming realized that the mental state of this golden rose had faded again. If there were a bed and quilt here, His Highness might be paralyzed in it.

He knew why, so he didn't ask.

Instead, he said softly, "Your Highness, should you go home first?"

Garcia turned his head and looked at Jiang Jianming seriously, his pupils were as clean as a spring that could see the bottom at a glance.

"In the past, someone bullied you," he said slowly, "I saw it and immediately pierced his arm with a real crystal, do you remember?"

Jiang Jianming recalled for a long time, and remembered a person.When Yin Beidou was an officer in the adaptation period, there was a young man in his team, Joe Brown.

"I remember," he said, "you were really nice to me."

"But today," Garcia said hoarsely, "someone bullied you in front of me and treated you disrespectfully, I just reprimanded you lightly."

Jiang Jianming felt guilty: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"Why are you apologizing?"

Garcia said and waved, "Come here...I want to hug you."

The thin body of the black-haired young man in front of him really stuck up, and His Royal Highness sighed and rested his forehead on the other's shoulder.

"It was the same with him before? Couldn't he really protect you because of his status as the crown prince?"

Jiang Jianming was amused, and thought to himself: Now, "I" has become "he" again?

But he said: "Why does he have to protect me, Your Highness. We are all equal lovers, why can't I protect myself—"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly lost his voice, his trachea seemed to twitch, and even the most basic breathing was difficult in a blink of an eye.

There was a strange pain in the internal organs, and Jiang Jianming's painful eyes suddenly became dizzy.He opened his mouth slightly, but his legs were weak first, and he quickly lost his strength, and fell into Garcia's arms all at once.

The author has something to say: Jiang: Why can't I protect myself from the "chronic crystal disorder attack"
