This question attracted everyone's attention, including the First Marshal. He wanted to know whether Ling Xiao was confident or not. Was he lying to save his son? If that was the case, he couldn't support Ling Xiao because he had to be responsible for the soldiers on Planet Haijiao.
Ling Xiao looked at General Lu with a faint smile on his face. He knew what the Second Marshal was thinking. The Second Marshal wanted him to take on the responsibility of sending reinforcements to Planet Haijiao. The Second Marshal wanted to save his grandson but he didn't want to take on the responsibility of sacrificing the lives of soldiers because of his personal feelings.
However, Ling Xiao didn't think that he was wrong to want to save Ling Lan. If he could abandon his own son, he wouldn't be a father. He would be worse than a beast.
Ling Xiao nodded at He Xuyang. He Xuyang quickly sent the name list of all the members of 250 Ace Mecha Clan to the communicators of all the regiment commanders and the mainframe of the Federation.
At that moment, the name list of all the mecha operators in 250 Ace Mecha Clan appeared on the screen. Their rank, military rank, official position, and honor were also shown too.
When the older reporters saw the list of mecha operators on the screen, they exclaimed in shock. They saw that there were many famous mecha operators on the list. Some of the older reporters even had the chance to interview some of the mecha operators who had achieved great feats in the past. However, they didn't know why they disappeared after that. They didn't expect them to all go to General Ling Xiao's 23rd Division.
This was the status of General Ling Xiao in the military. When the 23rd division was established, he just needed to raise his voice and many powerful mecha operators volunteered to join the 23rd division. Some of them were even willing to join a normal ace mecha clan just to follow General Ling Xiao.
The way the reporters looked at Ling Xiao became even more fervent and pious. Back then, the three great marshals had purposely set up an idol for all the citizens of the Federation in order to incite their anger. After nearly 20 years of fermenting, some things were already slowly slipping out of their control …
Ling Xiao's cold voice sounded again. "This time, the 23rd division sent 250 Ace Mecha Clan to Base 014. The members of 250 Ace Mecha Clan are the ones shown on the screen … These mecha operators are the most outstanding mecha operators from the various divisions. Some of them are even half a step away from becoming an imperial operator. They have contributed greatly to the Federation. In all the battles they have participated in, they have never lost a single battle. In their glory, we can clearly see that this is not the first time they won a battle with a lower number of people."
Speaking up to here, Ling Xiao glanced at all the generals with a smile that wasn't a smile. "Generals, I'm sure you're all familiar with the famous undefeatable generals under your command! When the 23rd division was first established, all of you gave me a lot of 'help'. You didn't hesitate to send 'outstanding' ace mecha operators to help me. I, Ling Xiao, am 'grateful' for your help. "
Ling Xiao emphasized these words. The regiment commanders felt embarrassed. Back then, they did use the excuse of helping the 23rd division to send these useless mecha operators to Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao had no choice but to establish 250 Ace Mecha Clan. They wasted their limited resources to support these useless mecha operators.
Now, these useless mecha operators were mentioned by Ling Xiao in such a dignified manner. They felt as though they had smashed their own feet with a rock. After all, on the surface, these mecha operators were indeed the best ace mecha operators in the Federation. They were also people with unparalleled merits. If the military gave up on these ace mecha operators and didn't send them to help them, it would definitely incur the wrath of the billions of citizens of the Federation. Even the soldiers of the Federation would be disappointed. What did they get by risking their lives to protect the dignity and safety of their country? Once something happened to them, these soldiers who were at the frontlines of the war would be mercilessly abandoned by the military.
Ling Xiao's move was undeniably disgusting. These people were useless. They didn't have much combat ability. They couldn't be used to defend the 23rd division for more than three weeks. However, now, they couldn't tell the truth. The Third Marshal regretted allowing the reporters to enter the meeting room. Now, they couldn't refute Ling Xiao's lies. Even if they told the truth about these mecha operators, the reporters outside wouldn't believe them. They would think that they were purposely trying to smear their reputation by refusing to help them.
Compared to the Third Marshal who was furious and thinking about how to expose Ling Xiao's lies, the Second Marshal knew that Ling Xiao was full of lies. However, he didn't want to know the truth. He just wanted to know if there was someone to blame if something happened to the reinforcements. As for the First Marshal, he frowned when Ling Xiao used the members of 250 Ace Mecha Clan to explain his reasons. He could understand that Ling Xiao wanted to save his son but he didn't agree with Ling Xiao. He didn't care about the lives of the hundreds of millions of people in the reinforcements because of his personal feelings.
"Ling Xiao, although the mecha operators in 250 Ace Mecha Clan have some capabilities, they are only a mecha clan. They aren't enough to defend against the attacks of the God-Killers for more than three weeks," the First Marshal said calmly. "Do you have any other reasons?"
If Ling Xiao didn't have enough reasons to convince him, he wouldn't agree to send reinforcements even if he hurt Ling Xiao's feelings.
The Third Marshal smiled when he heard this. He was willing to listen to the First Marshal because the First Marshal always stood on the side of justice. He would never blindly support someone who was in his faction. Of course, this was also why the First Marshal was able to sit on the throne for so long. He made the Second Marshal and the Third Marshal accept him wholeheartedly.
The reporters were stunned by the First Marshal's unexpected words. Did this mean that even the First Marshal didn't support sending reinforcements? The reporters were all well-informed people. They knew that General Ling Xiao was in the First Marshal's faction.
Did they have to give up on the 280 million people on Planet Haijiao? General Ling Xiao, you must convince the First Marshal! All the reporters clenched their fists nervously. They placed all their hopes on Ling Xiao. They knew that other than Ling Xiao, there was only Ling Xiao who supported sending reinforcements.
Ling Xiao's eyes lit up when he heard the First Marshal's words. He slowly stood up and placed his hands on his office table. He leaned forward slightly with his eyes shining brightly.
"Are there any other reasons?" Ling Xiao smiled proudly. "Of course there are. Their regiment commander, Ling Lan, is an imperial operator! He became an imperial operator when he was 21 years old. He is an imperial operator who has surpassed me! "
