Chapter 1299 Private Channel is Not Private
It is inevitable that the federal society is not as iron-blooded as the empire.
If you want to form a large federation, you must have a culture that is sufficiently tolerant and highly interoperable, otherwise it will be difficult to maintain.
If the conversation had been private, the military might have been able to do it - at a certain level, morality is just for show.
Those in power have no selfless morals, the only thing that lasts forever is interests.
But there were too many people in the command center. Who would dare to openly order the firing on their own soldiers?
Especially Qu Jianlei’s last sentence, it was so vicious.
He directly pointed out that all the prisoners were soldiers from the Triangle Military Region, and also said that "the Triangle Military Region is relatively weak"!
This is the kind of thing that the Federation fears the most, and the prohibition of star-domain discrimination is written into the law.
Of course, even if this is the case, discrimination still exists objectively - without this phenomenon, there would be no relevant laws.
But no one dares to spread these remarks openly.
Under the current circumstances, let alone the front-line command, even the military headquarters dare not make a decision easily!
However, the command center still responded the fastest, "Cut off other signals, leaving only the headquarters communicating with the other party!"
As for what other soldiers would say, there was no time to consider that, as the command had the final say.
Anyway, there are thousands of people in the command center, so how can they carry out secret operations?
But as for the right of other commanders and fighters to know... I'm sorry, the military headquarters will have the final authoritative statement.
While blocking other signals, the lieutenant general also had some ideas.
He said in a deep voice, "Who are you? If you have any requests, you can make them. We can discuss anything..."
"Betraying your country and your hometown and defecting to the evil empire is a lifelong stain. Your relatives and friends will not be able to hold their heads up high!"
He seemed to have determined that the other party was a separatist and did not consider that he was a spy infiltrated by the empire.
In fact, it is not that simple. There is a landmine behind this question!
As long as the other party dares to admit that they are separatists, the military will have something to say: This is a tragedy caused by separatists from a certain star field!
Just as only magic can defeat magic, only more extreme separatists can suppress separatist tendencies!
The lieutenant general had already thought it through. Even if the other party did not admit it, he would still lead the topic in this direction.
Even if it eventually gets a default, it may give the military a chance to take action!
Qu Jianlei had no idea that the other party had such dark thoughts.
But now he is only one step away from escaping, and he will not deliberately risk the Riftbreaker again.
So he just sneered, "I have a request for you... Do you think you are worthy? You really don't know how to live or die!"
It's hard for me to respond to your words, the lieutenant general said coldly, "You don't want to make any conditions? Prepare your artillery..."
Qu Jianlei ignored it and just sat there watching the starship speeding away.
He has already made preparations to avoid it. Instead of wasting time on arguing, it would be better to make other preparations.
If he didn't say anything, the lieutenant general would be in trouble - he originally wanted to exert extreme pressure to intimidate the other party.
Half a minute later, he spoke again, "You said Hill is still alive, how can you prove it?"
"Want to video chat? That's not difficult to solve," Qu Jianlei said casually, "Are you sure?"
"Of course," the lieutenant general replied without hesitation, "I warn you, don't play tricks."
"Who do you think you are!" A deep male voice sounded, "How dare you talk to the boss like that?"
The lieutenant general was not angry, but instead said, "Oh, your boss is awesome? What achievements have you made? Tell us about them."
As a soldier, when facing the enemy, what he pursues is victory or defeat. Face and other things are really not important.
The one who was speaking was the Fourth In Command. He had already figured out what had happened and knew what words would be most damaging.
He sneered, "It seems that you are not popular in the Special Operations Department!"
As soon as the lieutenant general heard this, he knew there was something behind it, but unfortunately time was running out and he didn't have time to beat around the bush.
He said bluntly, "I guess I didn't choose my words properly, but I still doubt whether Hill is still alive."
"If you can't get him to come out and video, in five minutes, artillery fire will cover your area."
"Tsk," the fourth in command snorted disdainfully, but said nothing more.
Because he is also a soldier, he knows very well how accurate the artillery coverage is in such a long-term confrontation battlefield.
Various shooting parameters have long been filled into databases of varying sizes.
To be honest, if the boss wasn't the one who proposed to break in, there is basically no way he would agree to this almost crazy idea.
At this moment, Hill was staring at Xiao Moshan.
The two of them had a pretty good conversation, so Xiao Moshan did not hide the fact of the life-threatening run and directly projected it.
Hill had already heard about Scott's favor, and when he saw this scene, he was too lazy to say anything.
He just kept sighing and occasionally said, "Isn't it enough to hurt me? Why do you want to hurt others?"
Xiao Moshan answered very straightforwardly, "If he wasn't trying to gain personal advantage, would we go out of our way to harm him?"
Hill also knew that what the other party said made sense, but it was really... too depressing.
Suddenly, the other party spoke again, "Okay, your command center needs to video chat with you to confirm that you are still alive."
"No," Hill answered without hesitation, "You can just say I'm dead. I can't afford to lose face."
Xiao Moshan looked at him with a half-smile, "If they believe you are dead, they will launch an all-round fire attack."
"Then..." Hill was stunned for a moment, and finally reacted, "My comrade?"
"They are spread across the three starships," Xiao Moshan replied expressionlessly, "This is war!"
Hill raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but in the end, he sighed dejectedly, "Yes, this is war."
"But I want a private channel... isn't that a big problem?"
This request was certainly not excessive, and Xiao Moshan was willing to help him a little.
However, after the video channel was established, the big-headed butterfly started to turn again.
"There are more than 200 people watching the video, and there are more than 10,000 recording instruments. It's really private."
Qu Jianlei curled his lips silently, feeling that Hill's luck was really bad.
Without waiting for anyone at the command center to speak, Hill shouted in surprise.
"Uncle Qiu Ke, why is it you? Aren't you... in seclusion?"
The person on the other side smiled and said, "It's not me, it's just my simulated avatar. Not many people know that we know each other..."
The lifelike figure asked two questions, confirmed that this Hill was real, and then disappeared.
Then the camera on the other side was turned off, leaving only a simple background picture.
Half a second later, Xiao Hu also turned off the camera on his side - want to have a one-way video chat? No way!
The other side turned on the camera again, and a lieutenant general appeared. He said expressionlessly, "The camera was switched."
Qu Jianlei replied casually, "It's up to you. We have confirmed that Hill is still alive."
Regardless of whether you are intentionally putting on airs, I won’t video chat with you anymore.
The lieutenant general felt a little regretful after hearing this. He really shouldn't have used this little trick to test his opponent.
However, this is a common problem among soldiers. They always want to test the reaction of their opponents. Unexpectedly, they encountered a hot-tempered person this time.
But he still had to show toughness, "I want to confirm that the next person I will talk to is Hill himself!"
"You don't need to confirm," Qu Jianlei said lightly, "If you want to open fire, then open fire. Guess whether we are afraid or not."
In fact, such communication is itself a process of mutual understanding, and the lieutenant general can more or less feel the other party's temper.
But he didn't have much time left, so he could only ask directly, "Hill, what is the situation report from your colleagues?"
Hill sighed helplessly, "Four died, the others are still alive."
"Where do these people come from?" The lieutenant general still couldn't let go of this question. "What do they want?"
"I really don't know where they came from," Hill said with a wry smile, "I only know that they are very powerful!"
Upon hearing this, the lieutenant general asked calmly, "How strong is it?"
Qu Jianlei coughed lightly and glanced at Hill calmly, "I hope you have some idea in your mind."
He also felt that he had screwed the other party over badly. Otherwise, there wouldn't even be this warning.
Hill stood there expressionlessly for more than ten seconds before he nodded slightly and said, "You are not bad people."
"Lieutenant General, they are very strong. I don't think the Special Operations Department would want me to tell you how strong they are."
The lieutenant general understood - you want me to ask the operations department?
But how could those people be so easy to mess with? And he didn't have time to contact them now.
In the age of interstellar navigation, there are widespread delays in information transmission.
No matter how advanced the communication technology is, it cannot withstand the vastness of the territory, and the stability of transmission cannot be guaranteed.
The military's communication speed is faster than that of the civilian sector, but by the time he contacted the admiral, the three starships would have already entered the interference zone!
However, the lieutenant general still grasped a key point, "Why didn't the Operations Department keep you?"
"I was locked up and didn't know anything," Hill answered honestly, "After they helped the Operations Department gain the upper hand, they left!"
The lieutenant general understood immediately after hearing this: it turned out that the enemy left in the second half of the fight and did not even finish it.
As for the statement of "assisting in victory", it should be true, otherwise the Operations Department would not have specifically emphasized strong strength.
But how could those people in the Operations Department agree to leave before the battle is over?
However, if you think about it for a moment, you will know that it was definitely easy for the other party to leave.
Otherwise, the Operations Department would have stopped them on the spot, or at least hunted down the deserters. Why would they need to send a notice to the front-line war zone?
Then there is a very eye-catching question, what was the reason that the Operations Department, which is known to be difficult to mess with, did not stop it?
However, the lieutenant general is the commander on the battlefield after all. He knows that the other party is not easy to provoke, but he is not afraid.
He was afraid of the Operations Department because those people held special powers, and he had never been afraid of anyone on the battlefield.
"Hill, let me ask you something. Tell me the truth... Did only a few of your colleagues really die?"
