"Never care about dead people?"

The conference room felt like a big stone had been thrown into the calm water.

The generals either stared at each other in astonishment, or sneered, or burst into laughter. Several Fei League generals standing beside Mazia and Fujii Tsuyoshi were in an exaggerated uproar.

Those who can be selected to join the Allied fleet are all senior generals from the member countries of the Fiji Alliance. Which one is not the elite of the elite, and which one is not famous? A group of proud and powerful generals have long been accumulated in the picture below. Full of anger, seeing the bandit general for the first time now, he didn't like him at all.

Not to mention that Tian Xingjian, the commander of the bandit army, was just a corporal in the mechanics four years ago. With good luck, he climbed to his current position like a rocket. In terms of qualifications and reputation, he is still far behind. Even if he is the famous southeastern general Russell, what does it matter? He is just an officer from a small country who has been on the famous general ranking list!

Speaking of the people on this general list, there are quite a few in this conference room.

There are not ten but eight people ranked in front of Russell!

In terms of seniority and status in the Allied Forces, there are at least twice as many people ranked in front of Russell! To put it bluntly, Russell's status in Western York at that time was not enough to compete with the Allied Forces. These Fei League generals present are having a conversation!

If Russell had just said this when he had just captured the Mortis system and defeated the forward fleet led by Banning, everyone might still be convinced. But now, the bandit army has abandoned them with a series of almost humiliating retreats. The honor and respect they originally received.

What qualifications does an army that doesn't even dare to fight its opponents face to face, and which explains in the most appropriate way what it means to flee upon hearing the news, have to be so awesome here?

"Could the dead people General Russell mentioned be Westerners?" With a sarcastic smile on his face, an Allied general pulled out a chair and sat down, leaning against his head: "Why does it sound to me that the general is describing Bandit army?"

As soon as the Allied general's words came out, the atmosphere in the conference room immediately became tense.

Many people know this Allied general, his name is Uhtred Barras. He is from a medium-sized member of the Fiji League in the southwest. He has always been known for his bad temper, arrogance and domineering. On the way of the Allied forces heading south, He had criticized the bandits in public more than once, even in front of General McKinley.

If Marshal Hastings hadn't been able to restrain him, he might have led his two A-class fleets away before arriving in the Changgong Galaxy!

Barras jumped out to take the lead, and no one was surprised at all.

This person's personality is like this. He is known as one of the best in his country. He is old and powerful, so how can he look down on the junior gangsters and Russell?

Barras said, his eyes deliberately avoiding the direction of Hastings, turning to look at his companions beside him and saying: "They are almost under their noses, but I don't even have time to send out a escort fleet. This way The efficiency and speed are not much higher than those of dead people!"

Since someone took the lead in firing, everyone had no worries.

"Haha, General Russell is talking about the bandit army!"

"Are you preparing to compete with several commanders?" You have fled all the way here, and you don't know how to fight anymore? General Russell, you should encourage your subordinates. What is coming on the other side is just their reconnaissance fleet, don't be afraid!"

"If you ask me, this is the intention of our bandits. What we want is to lure the enemy deeper. I just don't know that they have penetrated deeply from Dexik to here, and the reconnaissance ships have penetrated in front of them. What should I do next? I guess the next step is not Gather them together and annihilate them, but play hard to get?"

"What happens after playing hard to get?"

"Of course it's to lure the enemy deeper. Do you still expect them to join forces with the enemy?"

"What a plan, so majestic! I also said that the benefactor's fleet did a great job and displayed a majestic spirit. I didn't expect that the bandit army would be even more majestic and ambitious!"

"Lean? What does Lane mean? If the Lane fleet hadn't overestimated its capabilities to stop the enemy, the bandit army could have lured the enemy deeper, and they could have completely conquered the West York fleet!"

Some Allied generals who had long disliked the bandit army all agreed with Barras. Once the unhappiness began to vent, it was as unstoppable as the flood that broke the embankment. Even Hastings looked expressionless. Sitting at the head of the conference table, there was only a mess of teasing and ridicule.

"Public anger is hard to offend!"

Seeing such a scene, the sarcasm in Fujii Go's smile became deeper and deeper. Maquia on the side shook her head helplessly, feeling worried.

What is happening now has gone beyond the normal order of an army. In the past, this was something that was unimaginable in the Fiji Alliance. Let alone Hastings, the military god of the generation, in front of him, even if it was just next to him General McKinley was also the former Allied Commander-in-Chief, and the immediate superior of these generals here!

In a system like the army, a group of subordinates ignore the presence of their superiors and the imminent war, and attack their colleagues. Their emotions even contain a lot of dissatisfaction with their superiors. What does this mean and how bad its nature is? I'm afraid it is a Even the low-ranking soldiers know it!

The military is different from ordinary business groups.

This is a group that is always ready to go to the battlefield and ready to sacrifice. In this group, obedience is the most basic principle for every soldier. A private who has just entered the army will be disobedient as long as he has the tendency to disobey. Immediately label Shang as dangerous. Until he truly understands what a soldier is and the importance of obedience, he will not be trusted. He will be insulated from any promotions or important work assignments.

No one wants his subordinates to be a thorn in the side. This is not only because the authority of the superiors has been challenged, but more importantly, in the army, a group that trusts each other's life and death, a person who disobeys orders cannot be trusted. A soldier who is a soldier may one day lose the life of his companions!

These generals here are all soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles and have served in the army all their lives. They started as soldiers and reached their current position step by step. Who can not understand this truth?

However, they still mocked the bandits at this time in a way that was almost a collective attack.

The reason can be said to be the confrontation caused by the crisis in the Triverland system. It can be said that the disappointment in Hastings and the lack of understanding of the southward strategy have accumulated to a critical point. It can also be said that they do not trust the intelligence. The rare guests retreated all the way to the bandit army here.

The most fundamental reason is that they have different positions and are driven by different interests. This may be the most complex and least united coalition in the history of the Fiji Alliance!

Amid the din, Hastings sat expressionless, seemingly deaf to all the sounds around him. Under the bright light of the conference room, the wrinkles on his thin face appeared deeper than before. Her body He was a little stooped, and his thin lips were pursed tightly.

However, his eyes are still so deep and bright.

Next to Hastings, Admiral McKinley stood calmly. This famous general, who is as famous as Li Fu, is when a commander is most mature and energetic, although his hair has begun to turn gray. , however, his body is still strong and his back is still as straight as a javelin.

There are also several Allied generals who followed Hastings, including General Feng Zhi of Chakna, General Husseini of the Siliyak Federation, General Haven Hurst of Putitock, etc. , all looked solemn and silent. They seemed not to hear the cynicism of the allied generals beside them.

The most calm ones were the generals of the bandit army.

After Russell finished speaking, he looked through the meeting documents that had just been handed to him. Bratt and others, who had lowered their military ranks to join the bandit army, had restored the rank of general. At this moment, Bratt was talking to Chel and Fei Owen. , Mickey and other General Leray whispered something, without even looking at Barras and others who were in trouble.

If these old guys are still qualified to shame these Allied generals, then what makes people even more angry are the young bandit officers following them.

Most of these twenty-odd Fei League (bandit army?) officers are major generals.

If it were a peaceful era, such military ranks might be a bit dazzling on the shoulders of a group of young people whose average age is only twenty-five or six years old, but in this war era where military achievements are as fast as flying, it is nothing. Young genius generals from major allied countries. There are quite a few of them, and you can easily catch dozens of them.

However, this group of young people, headed by Margaret and Major General Feuillant Lassiter, seemed not to know what restraint was, let alone what rules and reverence were.

Although they remained silent in the face of the ridicule of the Allied generals, the expressions of contempt, disapproval, indifference and ridicule on their faces can make people angry to death! If anyone looks at them, they will give you a straight look. Staring, you are so angry that you want to slap him!

As Hastings and the bandit generals fell into cold silence, the voices in the conference room gradually became quieter.

But the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

The allied general who launched the attack had a gloomy look on his face, and the leader Barras was even more ashen-faced. The bandits' group of guys ignored them, making them feel as if they had exerted all their strength and punched the cotton. It's so soft and weak that there is no strength, and the discomfort is simply unbearable.

What's even more disgusting is that a bandit army officer standing not far across from him. A small army major general dared to stare at him with a sneer on his face, and the more he glared, the more furious he became!
