"I'm sorry, I have let down the empire. I have let down the sages, and I have let down my closest comrade-in-arms and best friend, you. As a commander with a heavy responsibility, I forgot about it during the long journey.

My own responsibility, I lost my judgment under the temptation of family affection. I personally trained the leader of the rebel army, which caused a catastrophe. If it weren't for your strategizing, everything would be irreversible. Although the matter is over, someone must be responsible.

It must be me who takes on this responsibility."

General Cage only left Qin Guang such a sentence and a fragmented corpse.

"Give Solent Cage a funeral with adequate decorum."

Qin Guang ordered.

"teacher……"

"Go to work, I need to take a rest."

Qin Guang waved his hand and interrupted Zhou Donglai's words.

When Zhou Donglai walked out of the room, Qin Guang's tense body suddenly relaxed, like a deflated balloon.

He rested his elbows on the table, tangled his fingers in his hair and rubbed it.

Only in this way can the annoyance in his heart be relieved a little.

Qin Guang formulated the entire plan from beginning to end, with the purpose of giving the Free Will Alliance a chance to vent and re-understand the importance of unity, and also to let these people understand that the only way out is.

In Qin Guang's initial calculations, when nearly 10 million people were executed through the doomsday suppression program, the situation would be completely stabilized, and the death penalty would be abolished and changed to forced freezing.

But in fact, the doomsday suppression process has not stopped running, and armed conflicts have even broken out, threatening the entire Nuwa plan.

When the crazy Bill Cranston broke into Tang Yingyu's room, it was the most dangerous moment.

Fortunately, Tong Ling, who woke up unexpectedly, took control of the situation, but then, Tong Ling, who was as cold-blooded as the doomsday suppression program, took over the battle situation and the highest command.

More than 80% of the 300 million dead were basically killed when Tong Ling led the force loyal to the fleet's original mission to suppress the militants.

Free will fighters are not really without the power to resist when they surrender.

It's just that these second and third generations, who were born in the fleet and rarely went out on missions, have been taught about the fleet's strongest force and how powerful the guardian instructor Tong Ling is since they consciously realized it.

When they think that they will be enemies with Tong Ling, most free will fighters will feel frightened and deeply afraid.

When the top warrior belonging to the Free Will Alliance was easily killed by Tong Ling, this fear reached its peak and quickly defeated the rebel warriors' already weak will.

But before the last rebel fighter laid down his weapon, the total death toll exceeded 300 million, and the number of reserve embryos that became inactive due to damaged ships was tens of billions.

According to estimates, the overall strength of the fleet in all fields such as scientific research, production, and military affairs has declined by more than 30%, which is dozens of times more severe than the combined losses suffered in all encounters that have occurred so far.

Just now Qin Guang was just holding on in front of Zhou Donglai, but he already felt doubly guilty in his heart.

He had already begun to wonder whether he was really too old, his judgment had declined, and his comprehensive planning ability was no longer enough to take on important responsibilities. Is it time to provide psychological intervention to Solent Cage and tell him the facts? And properly

Delegate power to this long-time assistant and train him to become a transitional top leader.

But Qin Guang never thought that Cage would commit suicide by drinking a bullet.

Qin Guang was deeply hurt.

The reason for the serious injury was not that he had lost a long-time friend and a successor to whom he wanted to entrust the task, but that he was shocked to discover that his judgment had declined to such a pathetic level.

Regardless of the reason, suicide is always the most shameful way for a person to escape when facing difficulties.

Cage's mental state and ideological realm, let alone serving as deputy commander-in-chief or acting commander-in-chief? Even an ordinary soldier is not qualified.

"I don't even understand this. It's such a shame."

Qin Guang slapped himself hard.

Winning? Winning is due to luck, but losing is a complete loss.

This is Qin Guang’s summary for himself.

A few days later, more and more people found their jobs again? Are all affairs running again? The repair work of damaged ships, waste recycling and the mass production of new mass and energy collection devices are quickly carried out? The situation is finally gradually stabilizing.

.

Qin Guang called Zhou Donglai to his office again.

"Teacher? What do you want from me?"

"I have almost made the arrangements. I will announce my retirement at tomorrow's supreme meeting. Will you take over as the supreme commander? I will become a staff advisor."

Zhou Donglai was stunned, shook his head and said: "Teacher, I am not ready yet. And although we have controlled the internal situation now, in a few years, the distance between us and the galactic center will be less than 4,200 light years. According to

Intelligence provided by the empire? The enemy has begun to strengthen patrols near the galactic center fifty years ago. We have not had an encounter for several years? According to the theory of statistics and probability? Every second that passes?

The possibility of an encounter will increase a little. The fleet still needs your experience, teacher. The fleet can only be led by you, teacher..."

Qin Guang interrupted Zhou Donglai again, "Donglai, I know what you are thinking. Do you think if I take a back seat at this moment? I will take the blame and resign, which will hurt my reputation, right?"

Zhou Donglai shook his head and denied, "Teacher, I didn't think so. When I was pretending to be frozen, in addition to contacting the Free Will Alliance, I actually also used my free time to read a lot of ancient books. I..."

"Sophistry. Ignorance! I've watched you grow up, and I still can't understand what you think? I don't need these false names. The principle of appointment in the fleet is to appoint those who are capable. I now clearly know that I am no longer qualified! Just as

As you said, unexpected situations may occur at any time, so it is even more necessary for competent people to come to the front desk. If I stay in this position for one more day, I will cause more potential losses! Get out! Get ready to take over!"

…

Qin Guang never expected that Zhou Donglai would strike first at the meeting the next day.

"Everyone, the ancient leaders told us that it is not terrible to make mistakes. The important thing is to sum up the experience and lessons in time after every mistake, find out where the mistake is, correct it in time, and re-establish the correct route. I made a mistake."

"A long time ago, when I realized that the bad thoughts in the fleet were hard to get rid of, I designated this plan. I will not let things that harm the fleet operate in secret."

"In ancient times when medical technology was not developed, our ancestors were helpless against cancer. It's not that cancer cells cannot be killed, it's just that in the early stages of cancer cells being born and secretly expanding, their numbers were too small and they were too harmful to the human body.

Small, the body's immune system fails to respond strongly enough in time."

"The terrible cancer cells are like killers lurking in the shadows, constantly accumulating strength until they are strong enough to deliver a fatal blow to the human body, and then the patient will feel the first intense pain."

"But at this time, there were too many cancer cells and their distribution was too wide. To kill these cancer cells, too many originally healthy cells needed to be killed. In the end, many ancient people unfortunately died during the treatment process.

"

"But with the advancement of genetic technology, Dr. Lamenech Nanding invented a cancer cell gene vaccine. This vaccine travels in the human body for a long time and has a keen sense of smell. Its ability to sense cancer cells is five times the body's own immunity.

A thousand times."

"Of course, it is not aggressive, but once it finds cancer cells, it will approach them and actively speed up the division of cancer cells. However, these rapidly multiplying cancer cells are not mature, not big, and not strong enough, so they can easily

It will be killed by the immune system."

"But cancer cells don't know that they are blinded by their huge numbers and begin to show their force in the human body, just like the ancient Persian Empire sent a hundred thousand troops to attack Sparta, but these one hundred thousand troops were all five-year-old children.

.These cancer cells will be quickly destroyed by the body's immune cells and rapidly produced antibody proteins."

"What I have to do is to turn myself into this vaccine. I lurked into the Free Will Alliance and provided a reliable top-secret communication channel for the rebels. I accelerated the speed of the Free Will Alliance organization from being loose to becoming a system."

"The reason why General Cage could easily freeze the Commander-in-Chief was because I pretended to be in deep sleep and secretly modified the guard rotation program and turned off some functions of the fleet's self-protection intelligent program, thus providing General Cage with a defensive force.

window period.”

"After Commander Qin Guang fell asleep, I have been waiting for the activation of the doomsday suppression program. This doomsday suppression program is the immune system of the fleet."

"But I did not plan for the armed turmoil, nor did I want to kill Tang Yingyu, Ofilos and General Cage. Because of my personal mistakes, I caused irreparable losses. So I hereby declare myself guilty and ask you to give me

deserved punishment."

"I think I should be executed."

The meeting was held twenty minutes earlier than the time Zhou Donglai notified Qin Guang. When Qin Guang opened the door and entered, he happened to see Zhou Donglai announcing that he hoped to be executed under the eyes of an uproar.

Qin Guang was stunned on the spot.

Everyone in the conference room turned to look at Qin Guang.

Qin Guang pointed at his beloved disciple angrily, "You..."

"Teacher, I'm sorry for you."

Zhou Donglai said slowly and word by word.

At this moment, another military commander next to Zhou Donglai suddenly lost control of his emotions, jumped up, and roared angrily: "Damn it! It's you! I'm going to fuck you! It's a shame that we trust you so much, Zhou Donglai!"

This old general with white hair and over 260 years old punched Zhou Donglai in the face.

Zhou Donglai vomited blood and fell on his back.

The old general was so angry that he almost went crazy. He pounced on Zhou Donglai and struck Zhou Donglai in the face with both fists, and he cursed loudly while beating him.

No one accused the old general of being too impatient.

Compared with others, the old general is the most qualified to vent his anger.

Although the old general has no biological descendants, he is a kind-hearted and kind-hearted old general who is very willing to cultivate his descendants.

In the past century, he has used his spare time to personally undertake the basic military literacy training of thousands of children preparing for combat orders.

The old general regarded these children as his own.

Among them, his most proud achievement is that one of his children has a third-generation peak warrior, as well as dozens of S-class warriors and hundreds of A-class warriors.

But during this turmoil, his children had to be painfully divided into two factions, one of which was led by the rebellious peak warrior, while the other would rather bear the blame than stay with the old general.

In the end, Dingfeng died at the hands of Tong Ling, but the other children of the old generals had to fight against each other and fight each other.
