Chapter 230 Seeking Cooperation
But Duan Ming couldn't tell anyone about this agreement with the space beast, which forced him to find an excuse.
But before Duan Ming could say anything, Admiral Nico's voice had already sounded:
"Lieutenant General, according to the latest star field rules of the Earth Alliance, you don't seem to have the right to point fingers at the two leaders of our star field, right?"
Duan Ming was surprised to hear Admiral Nico say this.
I didn't expect that Admiral Nico would take the initiative to find "bad luck" with Lieutenant General Zhang Feng without having to find any excuses!
Lieutenant General Zhang Feng frowned slightly and asked in a bad tone: "What do you mean by this?"
Admiral Nico smiled fearlessly.
"Of course it means literally. I still hope that the Lieutenant General will not stretch his hand too far. If I remember correctly, the Lieutenant General is not the highest commander of the Saturn Earth Alliance, right?"
A child of any age could hear that Admiral Nico's words were clearly aimed at Lieutenant General Zhang Feng.
"So, you are questioning whether I can fully represent the Saturn Earth Alliance?"
The smile on Admiral Nico's face became even brighter. He took out an interstellar wristband from his pocket and placed it in front of Lieutenant General Zhang Feng.
"Lieutenant General, I think you should listen to this call. Maybe you will change your mind, or maybe not?"
It seems that Admiral Nico is indeed well prepared this time! I just don't know what he relies on?
After hesitating for a moment, Lieutenant General Zhang Feng picked up the interstellar wristband. The moment the call was connected, Lieutenant General Zhang Feng's body was shocked, and then he stood straight.
During the entire call, Lieutenant General Zhang Feng only used simple "yes", "understand" and other similar words to respond.
Duan Ming also roughly guessed something from Lieutenant General Zhang Feng's attitude.
It seems that Admiral Nico's "trump card" is a person who has more say than Lieutenant General Zhang Feng in the Saturn Earth Alliance!
You know, Lieutenant General Zhang Feng is already the second-in-command of the Saturn Earth Alliance and Fang, with more say than him, and only the general commander who is about to retire to the second line has more say!
After the call was hung up, Lieutenant General Zhang Feng looked very ugly, and his brows were furrowed a little more.
"The meeting is temporarily suspended. I have some things to deal with. I will continue in an hour."
After saying this, Lieutenant General Zhang Feng walked out of the conference room without looking back, leaving the major generals of the Saturn Earth Alliance and Fang with a look of astonishment.
Duan Ming just took this opportunity to go back to the room to see the situation of Tang Yaqing. After all, leaving her alone in the room, even with the protection of Linden Wanzhong, Duan Ming was still not reassured.
As soon as he walked out of the conference room, Duan Ming was stopped from behind.
"Master Duan, do you have time to talk?"
If it was someone else, Duan Ming would definitely not pay attention, but the person who called him was Lieutenant General Zhang Feng.
Following Lieutenant General Zhang Feng back to his room, as soon as he entered the room, Duan Ming was shocked by everything in front of him.
In the whole room, there were no extra items except daily necessities, and the quilt was folded like a standard tofu block.
"Lieutenant General, I didn't expect your room to be so tidy. I originally thought that with your military rank..."
Duan Ming didn't continue to say the rest, but Lieutenant General Zhang Feng added.
"You thought I was just a high-ranking lieutenant general? You won't be strict with yourself any longer?"
Duan Ming smiled and said nothing. He didn't deny, which meant admitting.
Lieutenant General Zhang Feng sat on the bed and sighed:
"You may think that I can achieve this step today because of some deep-rooted power behind me, right?"
Duan Ming really thought so!
After all, not every soldier in his early thirties can become a lieutenant general!
Lieutenant General Zhang Feng smiled helplessly: "To tell you the truth, I am the same as you. I started as a civilian with no background and have come to where I am today step by step. It is precisely because of this that I will never let what I have worked hard for more than ten years and exchanged my life for be easily taken away by others!"
When listening to Lieutenant General Zhang Feng's words, Duan Ming just stood by the bed without any reaction.
In fact, the meaning of these words is clear. Although Admiral Nico somehow got on the path of the Saturn Earth Alliance and General Fang, this also means that Admiral Nico and Lieutenant General Zhang Feng are on opposite sides.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Duan Ming knows this truth very well. He is waiting for Lieutenant General Zhang Feng's next statement.
"Duan Ming, speaking of you, I really feel like I'm looking in the mirror. I was young and arrogant like you are now. I wonder if you are willing to make friends with me?"
In Duan Ming's mind, there are three types of friends. The highest level is like Wu Yong, who can trust each other. The middle level is like every member of the Duan family, who is the person Duan Ming cares about. The lowest level is people who come together temporarily because of interests, such as Lieutenant General Zhang Feng at the moment.
"Lieutenant General, you have to be open-hearted to be friends!"
Lieutenant General Zhang Feng stood up, walked in front of Duan Ming, and said.
"Admiral Nico and the Admiral should have reached some kind of agreement. Only if you and I unite, there is a possibility of competing. I will try my best to contain the Admiral. I hope you can defeat Admiral Nico in the shortest time."
Even if there was no Lieutenant General Zhang Feng, Duan Ming would do this. Since it is a cooperation, it naturally requires benefits.
"Wait until I defeat Admiral Nico, and you control the Saturn Earth Alliance and all the forces, and then come back to deal with me?"
Lieutenant General Zhang Feng smiled bitterly. He could understand Duan Ming's distrust of him, just like he didn't trust Duan Ming when he first met him.
"As long as you defeat Admiral Nico, I will make this exception for you and allow you to become the co-ruler of the sixth and seventh star regions!"
The chips given by Lieutenant General Zhang Feng did make Duan Ming a little tempted, but it was not enough to completely impress Duan Ming.
"Plus the fifth region!"
Lieutenant General Zhang Feng was slightly displeased with Duan Ming's lion's mouth: "There are only seven star regions in the Saturn region. Your appetite is too big, isn't it?"
The dominant power is now in Duan Ming's hands. He shrugged his shoulders casually and replied.
"Since the lieutenant general is unwilling, I won't force it. Goodbye."
With that, Duan Ming walked towards the door.
"I promise you! But I have a condition!"
Duan Ming stopped and turned his back to Lieutenant General Zhang Feng, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"What condition?"
"I must send people to take over the military and military forces in each star region. After all, I don't want the Saturn Earth Alliance military and military forces that I have worked hard to control to become a decoration in the eyes of your Duan family."
Duan Ming turned around, gestured "OK" to Lieutenant General Zhang Feng, and turned to leave the room.
