Chapter 1299 Private Channel Is Not Private
The federal society is really not as iron-blooded as the empire, this is inevitable.
If you want to form a huge federation, you must have a culture that is tolerant enough and relatively interoperable, otherwise it will be difficult to maintain.
If there is a private conversation, the military may be able to take action - at a certain level, morality is only for others to see.
Politicians are selfless, and only interests are eternal.
But there are too many people in the headquarters. Who dares to openly order to fire on one's own soldiers?
Especially Qu Jianlei's last sentence was so vicious.
He directly pointed out that the prisoners were all soldiers from the Military Triangle Region, and also said that "the Military Triangle Region is relatively weak"!
This is what the Federation is most afraid of. The prohibition of discrimination in the star field is written into the law.
Of course, even so, discrimination still exists objectively - without this phenomenon, there would be no relevant laws.
But no one dares to openly spread these remarks.
In this situation, not to mention the frontline headquarters, even the military headquarters does not dare to make decisions easily!
However, the command headquarters responded quickly, "cut off other signals, leaving only the headquarters to communicate with the other party!"
As for what other soldiers will say, that is no longer a consideration. The command headquarters has the final right of interpretation.
Anyway, there are thousands of people in the headquarters, so where can they operate in secret?
It's just that other commanders and combatants have the right to know...then I'm sorry, the military headquarters will have an authoritative statement in the end.
When blocking other signals, the lieutenant general also had some ideas.
He spoke in a deep voice, "Who are you? You can make requests if you have any, and we can discuss anything..."
"Betraying Guojia and your hometown and defecting to the evil empire will be a lifelong stain. Your relatives and friends will be unable to hold their heads high!"
He seemed to have decided that the other party was a separatist, and did not consider it to be a trick infiltrated by the empire.
In fact, where is it that simple? There is a thunder behind this question!
As long as the other party dares to admit that it is a separatist, the military will have something to do: This is a tragedy caused by the separatists in a certain star field!
Just like the only thing that can defeat magic is magic, the only thing that can suppress the tendency of separation is the more extreme separation person!
The lieutenant general has already thought about it. Even if the other party doesn't admit it, he will lead the topic this way.
Even if you finally get acquiescence, it may give the military an opportunity to take action!
Qu Jianlei didn't know that the other party had such dark thoughts.
But now he is only one step away from escaping, and he will no longer deliberately risk the Rifter.
So he just sneered, "I have a request for you... Is this worthy of me? You really don't know how to live or die!"
It's hard for me to answer when you talk like that. The lieutenant general said coldly, "Aren't you willing to make conditions? All departments are preparing artillery fire..."
Qu Jianlei didn't take issue with this at all and just sat and watched the starship speed by.
He was already prepared to evade it. If he had time to argue, it would be better to make other preparations.
He didn't say anything, but the lieutenant general was in trouble - he originally wanted to exert extreme pressure and intimidate the opponent.
Half a minute later, he spoke again, "You said Hill is still alive. How can you prove it?"
"Want to video chat? This is not difficult to solve," Qu Jianlei said lightly, "Are you sure?"
"Of course," the Lieutenant General replied without hesitation, "I'm warning you not to play tricks."
"Who do you think you are!" A deep male voice said, "How dare you talk to the boss like that?"
The lieutenant general didn't get angry either, but spoke calmly, "Oh, your boss is very good? Can you tell me what achievements you have made?"
As a soldier, when facing the enemy, what he pursues is victory or defeat, and face is really not important.
The one who spoke was the Fourth Master. He already understood the whole story and knew what words would be most damaging.
He sneered, "It seems that you are very popular in the Special Operations Department!"
When the lieutenant general heard this, he knew there was something in it, but unfortunately time was running out now. He had no time to beat around the bush.
He said simply, "Calm me for not choosing my words correctly, but I still insist on doubting whether Hill is still alive."
"If you can't get him to come out for video, artillery fire will cover your area in five minutes."
"Tsk," the Fourth Master snorted disdainfully, but said nothing more.
Because he is also a soldier, he knows very well how accurate artillery fire coverage is on such a battlefield where there is a long-term confrontation.
Various shooting Zhuyuan and the like have long been filled in various databases of different sizes.
Frankly speaking, if it was not the boss who proposed the forced break-in, it would be impossible for him to 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 didn't hide the matter of this life-threatening run and directly put on the projection.
Hill had already heard about Scott's favor, and when he saw this scene, he didn't even bother to say anything.
He just kept sighing, and occasionally said, "Isn't it enough to harm me? Why harm others?"
Xiao Moshan answered simply, "It's not that he wants to infiltrate the camp, why would we go out to harm him?"
Hill also knew that what the other party said was reasonable, but he was really... too depressed.
Suddenly, the other party spoke again, "Okay, your headquarters wants to video-confirm with you to confirm that you are still alive."
"No," Hill replied without hesitation, "You can just say I'm dead. I can't afford to embarrass that person."
Xiao Moshan looked at him with a smile, "If they believe you are dead, they will launch a full-scale fire attack."
"Then..." Hill was stunned for a moment, and finally reacted, "My comrades?"
"They are all over the three starships," Xiao Moshan replied expressionlessly, "This is war!"
Hearing this, Hill raised his eyebrows, but in the end, he sighed dejectedly, "Yes, this is war."
"But I want a private channel... Isn't it a big problem?"
This request is certainly not excessive, and Xiao Moshan is 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, and felt that Hill's luck was really a bit unlucky.
Before the people at the command center spoke, Hill shouted in surprise.
"Uncle Qiu Ke, how could it be you? Aren't you... in seclusion?"
The person on the other side smiled, "It's not me, it's just my lifelike avatar. I know that there are not many people who know us..."
The lifelike avatar asked two questions, confirmed that this Hill was real, and then disappeared.
Then the camera on the other side was turned off, and there was only a simple background picture.
After half a second, Xiao Hu also turned off the camera on this side-want a one-way video? No way!
As a result, the camera on the other side was turned on again, and a lieutenant general appeared. He said expressionlessly, "Switch the camera."
Qu Jianlei replied lightly, "It's up to you. We have confirmed that Hill is still alive."
Whether you are deliberately putting on airs or not, I won't video chat with you anyway.
The lieutenant general also regretted it a little after hearing this. He really shouldn't use this little trick to test the opponent.
But this is also a common problem among soldiers. They always want to test the opponent's reaction. Unexpectedly, they encountered a violent temper this time.
But he still had to show his toughness, "I want to confirm that the next person to talk to me is Hill himself!"
"You don't need to confirm," Qu Jianlei said lightly, "If you want to open fire, open fire, guess if we are afraid."
In fact, such communication itself is 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 of your colleagues?"
Hill sighed helplessly, "Four died, and the others are still alive."
"Where did these people come from?" The lieutenant general still couldn't let go of this question, "What do they want?"
"Origin... I really don't know," Hill smiled bitterly, "I only know that they are very strong!"
Hearing this, the lieutenant general asked calmly, "How strong?"
Qu Jianlei coughed lightly and glanced at Hill lightly, "I hope you have some idea in your mind."
He also felt that his family had pitted the other party a bit miserably, otherwise, there would not even be this warning.
Hill stayed there expressionlessly for more than ten seconds before nodding slightly, "You are not bad people."
"Commander, they are very strong. I think the Special Operations Department doesn't want me to tell anyone how strong they are."
The lieutenant general understood-you want me to ask the Operations Department?
But how can those people be so easy to provoke? And he has no time to contact them now.
In the Age of Interstellar Navigation, there is a general delay in information transmission.
No matter how advanced the communication technology is, it cannot withstand the large territory, and the stability of transmission cannot be guaranteed.
The military's communication speed is faster than that of the civilians, but by the time he contacted the admiral, it is estimated that the three starships had already entered the interference zone!
But the lieutenant general still grasped a key point, "Why didn't the Operations Department keep you?"
"I was locked up and didn't know," Hill answered honestly, "They left after helping the Operations Department to gain the upper hand!"
The lieutenant general understood immediately after hearing this: it turned out that the other side left in the second half of the battle and didn't finish the battle at all.
As for the saying of "assisting in winning", it should be true, otherwise the Operations Department would not have specifically emphasized strong strength.
But how could the people in the Operations Department agree to leave before the battle is over?
However, if you think about it, you will know that the other party will definitely leave easily.
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 is the reason that the Operations Department, which is not easy to provoke, did not stop them?
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 is afraid of the Operations Department because those people hold special power. He has never been afraid of anyone in the battlefield.
"Hill, let me ask you a question. Tell the truth... Did only a few of your colleagues really die?"
