"General Xiao Se, this is a special operation team for the current situation. They are used to carry out some special missions," Samantha said with a smile.
"General Samantha, why don't I know about this special task force? Special task? What kind of task?"
"Haha, General Xiao Se, as the commander-in-chief, I have the right to make the decision on such a small matter. Also, this is not a secret, and the process is transparent. If you have any suggestions, feel free to tell me."
"Is it because of Wang Tong? General Samantha, you have to stay calm. Although he is a talented man, you can't bet the lives of your soldiers on him. It's too risky!"
"That's not true. First of all, this is not a gamble. You have to get my permission first, and I will only agree to a reasonable plan. This time, we will only send one hundred photon shuttles, and we will not use your fleet."
Samantha said calmly.
"One hundred photon shuttles are our best light battleships, and it's too dangerous to let an inexperienced person lead them."
"I have decided to carry out this plan, and if anything goes wrong, I will take full responsibility!"
Samantha said firmly. Xiao Se knew that he had to be tough at times like this, or else he would be the one to be tough.
Xiao Se could only say that Samantha didn't have the absolute authority in the fleet, and that was why she asked such a question.
Xiao Se didn't expect Samantha to be so firm this time. Wang Tong's arrival had changed a lot of things.
Xiao Se smiled and said, "Since the commander-in-chief Samantha is willing to vouch for him, can we issue a military pledge?"
"General Xiao Se, you are commanding my fleet. You can issue a military pledge, but the fleet must cooperate with you during the execution of the plan. If anything goes wrong, you will be punished according to the military law!"
"Fine!"
Xiao Se agreed without hesitation. He didn't want to lose anything, but if Samantha failed to achieve the strategic goal, then he would have to step down.
After Xiao Se, Li Hong showed up as well. He was even more aggressive than Samantha, but he was glad to see that Samantha was willing to share her honor and disgrace with Wang Tong.
Both of them regretted their decision to let Samantha rise to power in the first place. However, Samantha had always been calm and steady, and they had never been able to find any evidence against her. But now, things were different. Wang Tong, the reckless young man, had suddenly appeared, and he thought that he was the savior of the world, and he had dragged Samantha into it.
The liberation of Mars was imminent, and humans were about to launch a major counterattack. At this time, the leader of the space fleet became quite important. This was something that would be recorded in history. There was a big difference between a commander and a general.
Even if the Martians could build a battleship, they would definitely lack manpower. They would still have to assign them to train the newbie space warriors to become veterans. This process was a process of gaining power and influence.
Li Hong and Xiao Se were not only good at fighting, but they had also been involved in politics for a long time, so they knew very well what was at stake.
At this time, Li Hong and Xiao Se were sitting together drinking hot coffee.
"What do you think? Does Wang Tong have any trump cards up his sleeves?"
"Hehe, if he can do anything, we won't be able to stop him. Space is not the same as on the ground. Hehe, he won't be able to do anything in space." Xiao Se said lightly.
"This is not Samantha's style. As a general, how could she change her mind just because of her subordinates? This is so disappointing."
"Old Li, you really appreciate talents. Samantha is indeed very good, but unfortunately, as a woman, she lacks some innate toughness. She is too cautious when it comes to the big picture, and her current performance highlights the weakness of women."
"What do you mean?"
"When a woman is in love, she will lose her composure and judgment."
"Are you saying that the rumor is true?"
"Whether it's true or not, did you see the look on Samantha's face just now? She was so happy, as if the Zergs had been eliminated. She's not fit to lead the fleet anymore."
Xiao Se said.
"We can't just sit back and watch Wang Tong sacrifice his fleet. We have to stop him!" Li Hong said coldly.
"Let's play it by ear. After all, Wang Tong has done some amazing things on Mars. If we try to stop him now, we will be accused of being jealous of him. Plus, he might be able to adapt to the situation without hurting our strength." "That's right.
"Hehe, fortunately, they are all light battleships. If they were larger battleships, I would have stopped them. This is not a game." Li Hong said in a deep voice.
"The situation on Earth has taken a turn for the better."
"No one would have thought that Li Zhedao's death would inspire the people to fight back. Patroclus must have been injured, and I heard that he went back to his seclusion after the battle." "That's right.
"No matter what, this is our best chance."
Xiao Se nodded. Both of them had formed an alliance with the House of Li and the House of Li.
Due to Li Zhedao's death, the House of Li had lost its influence. Xiao Se, the representative of the House of Li, had the upper hand. Once Samantha stepped down, she would be replaced by Xiao Se, while Li Hong would become the chief of staff.
Samantha might be facing a military trial. What could she do with a hundred light battleships?
Wang Tong began to form the Photon Shuttle Special Forces. Karl, Cao Yi, and the others were all excited and ready to fight.
However, there were different opinions among the Photon Shuttle Special Forces. They were not sure what Wang Tong could do with such a team.
The Photon Shuttle Special Forces were fast and flexible. However, they were not very active, and they were mainly used for reconnaissance and assault missions.
Wanting to rely on them to do something earth-shattering was simply a dream.
What was Wang Tong planning to do? No one knew, and everyone had doubts about Wang Tong. After all, although he was strong, he had nothing to do with battlecraft combat.
Flash and Bisu had joined the meeting as well. Although they weren't on Samantha's side, they were still hopeful about Wang Tong's plan, and they were also eager to help him. After all, the power struggles within the House of Li were too much for them to handle.
Both of them had been trying to get closer to Wang Tong. Samantha was more motivated, and Wang Tong's appearance had made them more determined.
Sometimes, when the older generation was still immersed in their own experiences, they would not be able to see things as accurately as the younger generation. Both of them believed that humanity had reached its most critical moment, but the fleet still had all sorts of problems, which made them both anxious and sad.
Both of them knew that they were not good at politics, but they had no choice but to do something. If Wang Tong couldn't come up with a good plan, the result would be the same.
"Flash, you have dragged me into this mess." After registering, Bisu smiled bitterly. This also meant that he had broken off his relationship with the Li family. In the military, if you did not have a faction, you would never be able to stand up. It was fine if it was during peaceful times, but now there was such a conflict.
Flash calmly said, "It's time to make a decision. Do you remember why we joined the military in the first place?"
Bisu smiled as he recalled the beginning of the war. "Yes, I do."
"We can't change other people's minds, but we have to do something for ourselves. I believe that Wang Tong is prepared for this. Also, I don't think he would do something without a plan. Who said that Wang Tong doesn't have the concept of a space station? They seem to have forgotten that he was the one who defeated me and became the champion of the Battlecraft Combat Tournament."
"Haha, that kind of result is nothing in their eyes. Plus, they will use their experience to convince me."
"Experience … Haha, experience."
Flash smiled bitterly and shook his head. Experience could kill. Admittedly, experience was very important, but people were very strange. When they were young, they only cared about strength, but when they got older and sat in a higher position, they started to rely on experience to ask others for help.
What was this?
General Li Hong was indeed powerful, but he couldn't get rid of the shackles of his own circle. He couldn't see the world from a higher perspective.
Perhaps this was the old pattern of the aristocratic families, and it had its pros and cons.
For the aristocratic families, glory was more important than anything else.
"What do you think Wang Tong is trying to do? A hundred photon shuttles can only serve as a bystander. It is impossible for them to hurt the enemy."
Bisu had no doubt about Wang Tong's ability to see the big picture. However, even the cleverest housewife couldn't cook a meal without rice. They only had a few hundred photon shuttles. It was said that Samantha had made a military pledge to resign in two months.
This could not be said to be a huge gamble, but it was also a helpless move due to the pressure from both sides. Only by doing this could he exchange for a chance to go all out.
Flash's eyes lit up as he said, "I have been thinking about this as well. Judging from Wang Tong's actions on Mars, he must be playing a big game. I'm afraid that these hundred photon shuttles are just a prelude, and the real trump card is yet to come!"
"I agree. After all, space battles are different from those on the ground. We won't be able to win against the dark ones. Plus, the dark ones are not fools. Most importantly, we can't afford to waste our resources. However, we won't be able to inflict direct damage to the dark ones without a few tough battles. The Zergs know more about space than we do."
