Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

…

"This submissive piece of trash!"

"He has completely disgraced Lord Tyrone!"

The team leader yelled and was about to rush out of the bridge, but the captain's eyes signaled the guards to stop him.

Not only the team leader, but also He Chou's other colleagues were blocked.

"Stay here and watch." The captain turned around and continued to watch the situation in the conference room.

"It's a shame that you are from the Navy." The team leader said coldly, "Are you here to watch a show? Autumn Wind is a new type of battleship, with a total length of 42 kilometers, and the weapons it carries are enough to use conventional anti-ship firepower. Destroy a planet and a world, and then you, the captain, stand here watching the show and leave the decision-making power to such a person? Huh?"

"Shut up." The captain rolled his eyes at the team leader.

He watched in silence for a while.

He Chou saw that his colleagues were waiting for a long time, so he directly communicated with the ambassador in depth.

Both sides are trying to figure out each other's bottom line and real requirements.

They were still talking and laughing on the surface, and even looked like they had been good friends for many years.

"He is much stronger than you." The captain turned around and looked at the team leader, "You are as stupid as the protagonist's superior in the animation at 8 o'clock behind Terra time in the Star Zone. What is your use except to create obstacles for the protagonist? None."

Upon hearing this comment, the team leader stared at the captain in silence.

The captain continued to speak.

"I think the Lord of Tailong has definitely paid attention to this matter, even if it is mixed in his mountain of battle reports..."

"Otherwise, why would the guards conduct projection communications in my office and yours at the same time?"

"I think the purpose of Lord Tailong asking you to talk may be to solve this problem through communication, at least temporarily."

"The sector is already trying its best to maintain the progress of the Golden Expedition. It is not time to add a new war to the sector at this time."

At this point, seeing that the team leader seemed to want to refute, the captain added a few more sentences.

"I don't think your subordinate is groveling or subservient. You have to understand one thing, that is, they came to our battleship to negotiate, and they brought a Govisa with them."

"This means that they gave up their leadership, and the ambassador is definitely a high-level being in the Tau civilization. His behavior is not only not rude, but can be described as flattering."

After saying that, the captain looked at the guards on the bridge and signaled.

The guards closed the bridge gate.

The captain said nothing and observed quietly.

"So, are you afraid of war?" the team leader asked.

"No, I am just trying my best to prevent the sector from being involved in a new round of war, even if this war may end soon because the opponent is very weak."

The captain turned around and walked up to the team leader. Although he was very young, he stared at the senior in front of him who was older than him, with a more sonorous, powerful and vicissitudes of life.

"Don't act like a veteran with me, Old Den."

"My parents were the breeding pacesetters in the sector back then. They gave birth to two infantry classes for the Lord of Tyrone. Then among my brothers and sisters from those two infantry classes, apart from me, the only one left is my sister. I am in the navy and she is in the army. .”

"I know what you want to say, you want to say that I am afraid of sacrifice. But I am not afraid, I just feel that the warriors of Lord Tyrone should not die in a war that should not happen, my parents and brothers and sisters It's my honor and pride because they sacrificed their lives in a war that had to be fought, instead of fighting an alien who was so weak that he had the word "summary" written on his face, and accidentally died in those In the hands of an alien who can’t afford half a set of power armor with all his equipment.”

The captain said it all.

The reason why he said this was because this matter still had to be discussed.

At least everyone can reach a consensus when it's over.

After being lectured by the captain, the leader of the diplomatic team did not become angry, but calmed down.

The middle-aged man leaned against the console on the bridge, silently took out a cigar, held it in his mouth, and lit it.

"call--"

"By the way, why do you think they might start a war with us?" the team leader asked.

After the young man who had command of the entire battleship turned around, the team leader continued.

"If you think those aliens dared to go to war with us, and they had planned such a possible outcome before and accepted it, then how could they lower their profile to the point where, as you said, they seemed to want to write peace on their faces? ?”

"The colonies were developed by them. To put it bluntly, didn't our people just go and rob them? Then, relying on the support of the sector fleet, we may have killed a few Tau people on the spot."

"But they still don't dare to start a war. Let me give you a guess about what they might have done and what they were thinking."

Hearing this, the young captain tilted his head and looked at the guy he regarded as the stupid boss of the protagonist of the eight o'clock animation in the evening.

He was all ears.

The team leader continued: "Among the 100 million people, there were definitely people who killed the Tau on the spot, and maybe even a lot of them, because there were a lot of weapons in the colony ships. The Tau were so angry that they detained the pioneers. The person who issued this order may have felt that the empire had fought with them back then, so a human branch force was nothing..."

"Then, just to be on the safe side, they still investigated and found that our sector was indeed not very simple, so they changed their strategy."

"That's why they clearly arrested our people, but they acted as if they were careless, as if they were inviting those people as guests."

"Use your brain that can handle naval school questions and think about it. 100 million people can be arrested at will? Didn't they have the determination at the time?"

After listening to everything the team leader said, the captain frowned and thought for a while.

In the end, he discovered that whether it was He Chou or the team leader, their attitudes were different, but their ultimate goal was the same.

That is to solve the problem through communication instead of letting the Tyrone sector fight an additional war.

"He Chou may not like them very much, but he shows a kind attitude. The reason is that he does not think that those aliens will become enemies of the star district in the future. The star district may still cooperate with these aliens in the future. Can Gaining benefits without fighting is indeed a good thing. It’s hard to say whether this is too optimistic or too naive...because even I agree with him 80%."

The team leader said again.

"But my idea is to show a tough attitude from the beginning, so that if there is a disagreement in the future, the Tau people will not look down on humans in their hearts and think that we humans are moody."

These words shaken the captain's determination to prevent anyone except He Chou from going to the conference room.

But then he thought about it, it actually didn't matter who went with He Chou or the team leader, but only one of them could go, otherwise they would easily get into a fight if they disagreed.

As long as we don't open another front for the star sector this time, until one day the guards come again, it means that the Golden Expedition has now entered a relatively relaxed stage, and we will still have to fight when the time comes.
