Eight Hundred and Eighty-Seven Arguments

Zhongnanhai.

The meeting room was filled with smoke, and all the participants were frowning. Brother Yi sat down at the end of the meeting table, took out a cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath and said, "I called everyone here today for Io Zero's sake." Well, no one knows about Io Zero, right? The aliens have all come to our door, I mean we must find a way to solve this problem as soon as possible, otherwise..." He took another breath and sprayed it through his nostrils. Two puffs of white smoke came out, "If you strike first, you will be strong, and then you will suffer. It will be too late when the aliens come over."

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, everyone has something to say, but no one wants to be the first bird.

Qiu Tian took a puff of cigarette: "Zero is indeed a very serious threat to us, but judging from the information we have so far, there is no sign of aliens attacking. I think we can let Zero temporarily go. Prioritize solving the problems in Africa and South America, and then come back to deal with Jupiter, so that not only will there be a time buffer, but the fleet can also be more fully prepared."

"Defending the enemy from the outside is indeed a good strategy, but we must first consider our strength before attacking. Taking the initiative to attack is equivalent to playing away. Our fleet itself is weaker than the enemy, and then give up the home court advantage... The possibility of defeating the aliens is very high. small."

Brother Yi's eyes were calm, but his tone was a little harsh: "Is this your opinion?"

Qiu Tianning nodded: "It is said that offense is the best defense, but the enemy is strong and we are weak, so taking the initiative to attack is like moths to the flame..."

"I object!" Wu Shenglong interrupted suddenly, "Minister, we are right about things and not people. The aliens are silent now, but it doesn't mean they will be quiet in the future. You say we are not strong enough, so we'd better wait. Is it because the aliens are not strong enough, so they have been standing still? The aliens have not moved, and they must be holding back. It will be too late for us to act when they really move. We can't wait, even if we send a few warships to harass and restrain Is it better than doing nothing and waiting?"

"Harassment? How to harass?" Qiu Tianning retorted, "Even an asteroid can't damage Jupiter Zero. Aliens don't need to guard Jupiter Zero at all. We can't help them if we fight casually. It is more beneficial to guard against Jupiter than to attack rashly. "

"What about when the aliens come over? Can we hold it?"

Qiu Tianning sighed: "At least there is home court advantage, with a military base on the moon, the fleet can last longer."

"And then? Beiyuezhou, Space City and everything were destroyed by aliens?"

"At least we did our best, and we did our best! If the fleet is sent out as you said, and the fleet will be completely destroyed at Europa, what resistance will we have when the aliens come over? Fists or teeth?" Qiu Tianning He waved his arms vigorously, and his passionate tone suddenly became extremely bleak,

"At the very least, we can buy a little more time and send more groups of people to the dungeon."

Everyone present knew that if the aliens came, the hibernators sent into the dungeon might never have a chance to be revived, but whether they knew it was one thing, but whether they did it or not was another. , Many times even if you know it is useless work, you have to persevere.

There was only a stub of the cigarette between Brother Yi's fingers, he pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and twisted it: "Show your hands and vote, if you agree to stand still, raise your hands."

Immediately several arms went up in the conference room.

The first brother counted, and a total of seven people agreed.

"Put it down, raise your hand in favor of taking the initiative." The first brother said again.

Another few arms were raised.

"Put it down." The first brother said, "Seven votes for defense, six votes for offense, what do you guys mean by not raising your hands? Abstain or do you have other ideas?"

Huo Qiang, who participated in the meeting via video, coughed lightly: "Everyone, I don't think it's a good idea to simply attack or defend. My opinion is to concentrate the main force on defense, deploy a small number of troops to scout and harass, fight if you can, and run if you can't." In a word, we can’t let the aliens live too quietly, it would be even better if we can occupy a few strongholds on Europa.”

Brother Yi was very surprised, hesitated for a moment and said, "Do we have this ability?"

"So far...no!" Huo Qiang admitted frankly, "Air power is the key to being able to occupy the stronghold. If you can't deal with the alien fleet, you can't even talk about landing on Jupiter. The lesson of the Third Fleet must not be forgotten."

Wu Shenglong curled his lips in dissatisfaction: "I thought you had some good idea!"

Huo Qiang ignored him at all: "I apply for a vote!"

"Agree to vote, please raise your hand if you agree with the harassment by the small army!" said the first brother.

Immediately, one arm was raised in the meeting room, and the first brother counted his arms and said, "Put it down, eleven votes are in favor...Old Qiu, why did you raise your hand too?"

Qiu Tianning smiled: "Before, I got into a dead end, but now I'm out."

Wu Shenglong curled his lips again, thinking that I had thought of it a long time ago, why did the surname Huo take the lead?

"You!" The first brother shook his head, "Then it's decided, Huo Qiang, no matter the defense or the harassment, you have to take the lead in your fleet. The burden on you is heavy!"

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Huo Qiang smiled frankly.

"Well, come up with the plan as soon as possible." The first brother said and looked at Qiu Tianning again, "Is there anything else?"

"Yes!" Qiu Tianning nodded, "The staff recommends that the Marine Corps be withdrawn!"

The first brother was taken aback: "What reason?"

Qiu Tianning said: "That's right. Everyone knows that space is dominated by warships and fighter planes. Judging from previous expeditions, the Marine Corps has basically played no role. It even allowed aliens to capture a group of people. The Third Fleet was successful." Landed, but apart from that bit of information, it was almost a complete failure, and the equipment cost of the Marine Corps is high, which is not effective but consumes a lot. According to the current situation we are facing, there is no need to retain the Marine Corps, so it is recommended to abolish the Marine Corps. Team, use the saved resources in the fleet or other aspects."

The first brother looked at the screen: "Huo Qiang, you are the head of the fleet, tell me your opinion."

Huo Qiang thought for a moment and said: "Judging from the situation of the expeditionary force, the Marine Corps is really useless. As for whether it is delayed or not, it is a matter of opinion... The Marine Corps is useless now, but I must remind you that the Marine Corps is disbanded. It’s easy to do it, but it’s not so easy to recover.”

"Do you have any other opinions?" Brother One asked, looked around for a week and said, "If you don't have any, let's vote. Raise your hand in favor of revoking the Marine Corps!"

A few arms were raised in the conference room, but Qiu Tianning was not among those who agreed... He just brought his opinions to the meeting for discussion, which didn't mean he agreed with the staff.

Brother Yi raised his hand just as he was about to object, when the door of the meeting room suddenly opened from the outside, and Liang Junsheng rushed in.
