Another person who was also wearing a military uniform heard the middle-aged man's words and expressed his opinion with a look of dissatisfaction, "Sincerity? I don't see any sincerity, only coercion and temptation. If they were sincere, would they need to place a fleet above us to threaten us? "
"The fact that they didn't attack is already the greatest sincerity." The middle-aged man in a suit glanced at the person who spoke and said expressionlessly, "If it were you, I'm afraid you would have made the same decision at this time. Maybe you would have launched an attack when you have the advantage in military strength."
The middle-aged man's words made the atmosphere of the entire conference room stagnate, but no one objected to what he said. After all, this was indeed their usual style.
The rest of the people didn't speak, but the middle-aged man kept saying, "So you mean to resist? Are we going to fight back with these defeated soldiers in Paris? Tell me, in front of such a fleet, what qualifications do we have to resist? Three hours is a lot? Not a lot, not at all. Even if we can mobilize troops from other places, I'm afraid we will all be wiped out before we reach Paris. Of course, we will be wiped out too. "
"So you mean to say that you still want to take countless innocent people in Paris to die with you? You want to drag us to resist with you and be killed? You don't have to take us with you if you want to die. "
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he sneered and glanced at the dissatisfied guy. The guy stood up all of a sudden, slammed his hands on the table in the conference room, pointed at the middle-aged man in a suit, and yelled, "Traitor, you are a traitor, a cowardly traitor."
In an instant, the entire conference room was in chaos. They scolded each other, but soon, they were divided into two sides. One side said to insist on resistance, while the other side hoped for peace. The quarrel between the two sides could be heard even by the people outside the conference room. The silver-haired young man who heard the chaos in the conference room narrowed his eyes.
"Enough!" It wasn't until more than ten minutes later that the elder sitting at the head of the table, who didn't say a word and just watched coldly, yelled softly, making the conference room quiet again. After taking a deep breath, he shook his head and said, "In the face of a great enemy, you are still fighting among yourselves. Is this the time to quarrel? You're right. On the one hand, it's true that we don't have the means to resist the satellite unification, but on the other hand, this concerns the dignity of the Federation. "
"But at this moment, the entire Federation has fallen into chaos after the attack of the Void Messenger. Especially since we are in Paris, we don't have any dignity to speak of. Do we still need to think about whether we should die with our dignity or let the civilians and your subordinates live with their dignity?"
"The DC side will definitely agree to the Satellite Unification request and integrate all the military forces. At that time, where will the DC and Satellite Unification Federation go? Is it for this world, or is it just for the Federation? Actually, you should have some ideas in your hearts. "
"That's all I have to say. Since we are a group, let's raise our hands to vote. Those who are in favor of resisting, raise your right hand, and those who are in favor of accepting the other party's conditions, raise your left hand. "
The elder's words instantly made the quarreling people in the conference room look at each other, but they quickly sat up. The middle-aged man in a suit raised his left hand without hesitation, and the person who was arguing with him also raised his right hand. Their actions were like throwing a stone into a calm lake, causing everyone in the conference room to raise their hands one after another.
But not everyone in the conference room raised their hands. At least, those who were in the conference through projection chose to abstain. At the same time, there were still some people in the conference room who didn't raise their hands. Under the leadership of the middle-aged man in a suit, almost everyone who wasn't a soldier but participated in this conference, representing the government of the Federation, raised their left hand and stood on the side of the middle-aged man in a suit.
In the conference room, those who raised their right hand in support of resisting only made up half of the military representatives. In this way, it seemed that those who supported the middle-aged man in a suit's opinion made up the majority.
The elder at the head of the table glanced at the situation in the conference room, and in the end, he also raised his left hand, which represented his acceptance of the satellite unification conditions. When he raised his hand, some people in the conference room smiled, while some people were shocked, not daring to believe the elder's final decision.
The remaining people who didn't raise their hands looked at each other, suppressed the shock in their hearts, and slowly raised their left hand as well. In the end, with a ratio of two to one in favor of the Federation surrendering and accepting the satellite unification conditions, the votes were cast.
"The results are out, so we will proceed according to the results of the vote. Inform the entire army to be on standby. Before the final results of the negotiations with the satellite unification are out, no military operations are allowed. Go and contact them. Although we have chosen to accept the other party's conditions, we still have to bring out our conditions."
"For the sake of Earth and the billions of civilians that the Federation can't protect, we can agree to the other party's conditions. But only for the sake of the Federation, we should also bring out our conditions. If the other party is sincere, they should also fulfill some of our conditions. Even if they want to integrate the military, there must be a place for us in the integrated military. The Federation must also leave behind enough troops to ensure stability."
"As for other benefits …" The elder shook his head again and sighed. "You can discuss it among yourselves."
The conference could be said to have come to an end. One by one, people in high positions left the conference room and informed the others of the results of the conference. The middle-aged man in a suit quickly left the underground military command headquarters with a smile on his face. He also brought along many people who participated in the conference and prepared to head to the huge battleship in the sky.
After the entire conference room was emptied, only the elder sitting in the high seat was left. He leaned back in his chair for a long time without moving. It wasn't until a silver-haired young man in a captain's military uniform walked in that the elder looked at the silver-haired young man. After taking a deep look at the other party, he said, "I have done what I promised you. The Federation will listen to the arrangements of the satellite unification. I won't be involved in the following matters. When can you do what you promised me?"
The silver-haired young man was El Erf, who was arranged to act on the Federation's side from the very beginning. El Erf sat beside the elder and smiled. "Once the matter is settled, those people's bodies will naturally be returned to them. They will continue to work in their new positions, including your son."
