[Interstellar] The king who doesn't want to return

"No! Absolutely not!" In the luxurious office, the speaker kept patting the table, his face flushed with anger.

"Where can't it be?" Mo Fei had a good temper.

In the military headquarters, Marshal Tu Hong took away most of the generals, and now only Mo Fei has the highest rank here, and there are many fewer constraints.

"Ye Ling is dead, dead!" the Speaker roared.

"Isn't the Speaker the clearest about whether he's dead or not?" Mo Fei sighed.

"Can't you just go?" the Speaker said.

"I'm getting old, and the leader of the empire this time is the great prince Leo Lins, who is known as the god of war." Mo Fei spread his hands.

"Could it be that no one is available except Ye Ling Federation!" the speaker angrily said.

"Yes." Mo Fei nodded, and said, "They are all on the front line."

"Get out!" The speaker dropped a teacup.

"What's your opinion on Ye Ling?" Mo Fei asked.

"What's your opinion?" Hearing the words, the chairman became even more angry, his neck was red, and he was not as mature and steady as he was on the screen. "There are opinions everywhere! That guy is clearly living a carefree life..."

"Isn't that what you acquiesced, Speaker?" Mo Fei interrupted sharply, "You were the one who spread the news to the federal people in such a hurry, and it seemed that you couldn't talk about it later."

"I..." The speaker was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time. After a while, he said, "Then let Ye Ling be in charge now, how should I explain? Said that the Federation made a mistake seven years ago?"

"As long as the person is that person." Mo Fei said indifferently, "Anyway, he has Tang Rui's ID now."

"Are you kidding me!" the speaker was impatient, "Since the founding of the Federation, there has never been a jump from brigadier general to marshal!"

"Special treatment during special times," Mo Fei said.

"No!" The speaker's tone has no room for change, "Once this precedent is set, the military system will not be completely messed up in the future!"

"If we don't win this battle, it will be another matter whether there will be a federal military department in the future." Murphy said relentlessly.

"I don't believe that the Federation would collapse without Ye Ling!" said the speaker.

"It's not a good thing your council did!" Speaking of this, Mo Fei was also very angry, "Zhou Yuze has the qualifications to surpass Ye Ling, if he is allowed to exercise according to the arrangement of the military department, his achievements at this moment will definitely be far beyond what he is now Look, your council only knows how to push the seedlings to encourage growth, and use all kinds of halos to pile up a national idol, but it restricts his growth! Otherwise, I am still here today discussing candidates with you?"

Hearing this, the speaker couldn't help being silent for a long time before saying, "No news yet?"

"The Chenxi team covered the retreat of the army and suffered heavy casualties. Major Zhou's whereabouts are unknown now." Mo Fei took a breath and said in a deep voice, "However, thanks to the time they bought, our main fleet was saved from annihilation. At least there is a fire to turn the tide of the battle. If the main force is completely wiped out, there is no need to fight reinforcements, and the overwhelming force of the empire does not need any tactics at all, and can go straight in."

"The line of fire after the self-explosion is the same as Chen Xi. Ye Ling is not dead, so of course he can't die either!" The speaker was still indignant when he mentioned the word "Ye Ling".

"How Ye Ling came back is still a mystery. How can you be sure that Zhou Yuze will also come back?" Mo Fei snorted coldly.

There was a sudden silence in the office.

"Alas..." After a while, a sigh came from the sofa next to the guest.

"Why?" Mo Fei glared at him fiercely.

"I said, you have been talking for so long, do you also ask for my opinion?" Tang Rui crossed his legs and leaned on the couch without any image, with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Uh..." Mo Fei couldn't help but feel ashamed.

"What's your opinion? What's your opinion?" The speaker said angrily.

"I have no objection." Tang Rui shrugged and said lightly, "Anyway, I don't plan to go to the front line."

"What?" Murphy and the Speaker finally spoke in unison.

"Huh? I didn't say it clearly enough?" Tang Rui plucked his ears, with a calm expression on his face, "I said, I don't plan to leave Capital Star."

"Do you know what the consequences will be if the Federation loses this war?" Murphy asked.

"What consequences can there be?" Tang Rui spread his hands, "No matter how cruel the empire is, it is impossible to kill all the people in the Federation. I am just a brigadier general with no real power. What are you afraid of?"

"You..." The speaker pointed at him, gasping for breath, as if he would faint in the next second.

"What about Zhou Yuze?" Mo Fei asked.

"Huh?" The Speaker gave him a puzzled look.

"I'm still sitting here, he can't die." Tang Rui said.

"Speaking of which, you are his exclusive mechanic... You really did the hands and feet of Blizzard, right?" Mo Fei snorted coldly.

"Black gold line of fire—that's one of the reasons why the main force retreated. Shouldn't the Federation give credit to me, the designer?" Tang Rui asked innocently.

"Don't forget, if the empire hits the capital star, it may not pay attention to you, but Major Zhou is one of the symbols of the federal military department, and he cannot be let go." Murphy reminded.

"Then let him die once." Tang Rui said without thinking, "Just like me."

"You!" Murphy also lost his temper.

"What on earth are you willing to go to the front line?" After a long time, the Speaker gritted his teeth and said.

"Ah, why did I remember that the speaker objected just now?" Tang Rui blinked and asked in confusion.

"I repent!" The speaker was finally driven mad by anger, and he slapped the coffee table hard, bent over, with a ferocious face almost to the tip of his nose, and said viciously, "You, get off to the front line, immediately! immediately!"

"No." Tang Rui turned his head.

"If you don't go, you have to go!" The speaker roared.

"Even if I'm passive and sabotage?" Tang Rui glanced at him and said slowly.

"..." The speaker was speechless.Indeed, even if he forcibly escorts someone to the front line, what can he do if this person doesn't work hard?He didn't forget that when it comes to his ability to save his life, this person claims to be the second, so no one would dare to say that he is the first.

"Tell me, what are your conditions." Mo Fei sighed, tugged at the Speaker, and sat down opposite him.

Compared with the members of the parliament, he still knows Tang Rui better.If he really didn't care about Zhou Yuze, he really didn't care about the Federation, and he really didn't want to go to the front line again, Mo Fei wouldn't believe it.If that was the case, this person would never accept the rank and return to the military headquarters.It's just that there is almost no trust between the current parliament, the military and Tang Rui, so if you want to impress him, you can only talk about interests and conditions.

"Conditions? My conditions are very high." Tang Rui said seriously.

"Say!" The speaker squeezed out a word between his teeth.

"Okay, I said it." Tang Rui smiled lightly, pressed out the remaining third of the cigarette in the ashtray, then raised his head, and said slowly, "First, I want absolute command in wartime .”

"You're dreaming!" Hearing just one sentence, the speaker was so angry that he wanted to smash the ashtray in his face.

What is absolute command in wartime?That means that before the end of the war, every word of the person with this authority is the law. Whether it is strategy, logistics, military strength, or policy, as long as it is related to the Federation, he can make decisions with one word. It needs to be discussed by any parliament and military department, and no one or any institution has the right to interfere.

Since the founding of the Federation, absolute command in wartime has only appeared once, and it was also a time of life and death for the Federation. However, the general who turned the tide did not end well in the end.The absolute command power in wartime is indeed powerful, but it is time-limited. When the war is over, the effectiveness will disappear automatically.And the person in power in any country's government cannot allow such a person to continue to exist.Especially... after having tasted the feeling of standing at the apex, no matter how loyal a general is, can he really have no thoughts in his heart?

"It's okay." Tang Rui shrugged, and he was kind.

"You..." The speaker, who was waiting for his rebuttal, seemed to have punched his fist into the cotton pile, and there was no sound, only he felt so uncomfortable.

"Ahem." Mo Fei coughed dryly twice, and said earnestly, "I think, you should know how hot the thing of absolute command is in wartime?"

"I like hot food." Tang Rui said seriously.

"Okay, okay, if you want to die, I'll let you go, okay!" The speaker gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly.

"Okay, second..." Tang Rui nodded.

"Anything else?" the Speaker interrupted.

"Of course I did. Didn't you hear what I just said was number one?" Tang Rui rolled his eyes.

"Say it!" The speaker tried to take a deep breath to calm himself down.

"Well, second, I want a retirement certificate, stamped and signed, two." Tang Rui said.

"Huh?" The speaker was dumbfounded.

"Oh, Mr. Speaker, are you deaf? Are you not that old?" Tang Rui scratched his head and muttered, "Then let me say it again, second..."

"I heard it!" The speaker replied viciously. After a while, he hesitated and said, "Retirement letter? Are you sure?"

"Yes, of course!" Tang Rui sneered, "What a good place to be in the army, why not watch the sea every day, go fishing, and enjoy life."

Mo Fei's eyes flashed, as if realizing something.

The speaker froze for a moment, and his face finally returned to normal.

If Tang Rui's first condition directly touched his bottom line, then the second condition is not only making things worse, but giving them a helping hand.

If he really intends to let go of his rights and become a commoner after the end of the war, then the temporarily granted authority... seems not impossible.

Thinking about it, he glanced at Mo Fei who was beside him, but he also nodded affirmatively.

"Okay, these two items, the council can promise you." The speaker finally gave in.

"Okay, happy cooperation." Tang Rui finally chuckled.

"I hope so." The speaker was still a little upset.

"Then, let's talk about the detailed rules." Tang Rui said.

"What? There's more?" The speaker wanted to jump up again when he heard this.

"Of course I have." Tang Rui looked at him in surprise, "Sir, don't you think that if I go to the front line alone, I can beat the emperor to death and go back to my hometown? The empire as a clay puppet?"

"Uh..." The speaker was embarrassed.

Really, negotiating with this bastard, you can't relax at all.

"Let's not talk about anything else, I want two people." Tang Rui said.

"Who?" The Speaker looked at him warily.

"Wang Haoran and Su Yingtang." Tang Rui said.

"What do you know?" The speaker's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.

"I don't know anything." Tang Rui turned his head, "I need Dr. Wang's 'certain' expertise."

The speaker was stunned, as if thinking of something, he was silent for a while and said, "What about Su Yingtang? If you die, let alone Su Yingtang, even the gods can't save your life!"

"Who wants him to save people?" Tang Rui rolled his eyes fiercely, "He is the center of my strategy. I won't go without Su Yingtang!"

The speaker is dripping sweat, what's wrong with this kind of trouble-making childish tone?

"Since it is the absolute command right in wartime, there is nothing to say, the military resources are at your disposal!" Mo Fei stood up abruptly, and Tang Rui was stunned for a moment with a decisive sentence.

"Parliament... seconded." The speaker took a deep breath and said slowly.

"Then... happy cooperation." Tang Rui curled his lips and repeated it, but this time he was a little more sincere.

"Speaking of... the Marshal of the reinforcements announced by the parliament, should it be Ye Ling or Tang Rui?" the speaker asked suddenly.

"This..." Mo Fei was also dumbfounded.

"Hmm..." Tang Rui rubbed his chin, looked up at the ceiling, "It's more subtle..."
