Vol 3 Chapter 864: Lose money

The dynasty can't fight a two-line war, and the federation is the same.
The N77 star field is a barren fringe star field. No matter who occupies this area, the dynasty and federation still have enough depth to have no decisive influence on the war situation. The longitudinal line is different. Both sides have concentrated their main forces for a series of decisive battles. And now, with the investment of more than 500,000 troops in N77, it has more or less affected the longitudinal line. Although the impact is insignificant, it is still an impact.
In this case, General Morgan's request to send two more first-level Marine Corps with a total of 100,000 people aroused fierce controversy.
Although the longitudinal line is mainly for fleet warfare, as the number of galaxies occupied by the Federation increases, planetary ground defense has also been put on the agenda. And from a certain point of view, Chu Jungui has proved what kind of quagmire planetary surface war can turn into. With this example, many people in the Federation are also rethinking the meaning of planetary ground battle. If every federal planet could become Planet 4, then Xu Bingyan would not be able to occupy many galaxies even if he could fight again. After all, his marine forces were limited, and he also relied on longer and longer supply lines.
The debate in the War Committee lasted from morning to night. In the end, Morgan got the legion he wanted, and the 7th Marine Corps, one of the federal trump cards, was much stronger than the original bill. However, the number of votes in the final resolution was 33:27. The difference in the number of votes also shows the controversy. The family behind General Morgan is definitely not a small number.
The day after the resolution was passed, an official document was placed in front of Hathaway. After reading the official document, she sneered: "Should we transfer the Jolly Roger to the N77 Star Territory? No!"
The assistant said cautiously: "But this is an order from the Joint Chiefs of Staff..."
"So what? Don't go."
"But……"
"It's nothing, but can't the technical points be handled? Go and take down the jumping engine of the mobile base and overhaul it."
"Huh? It's been less than 50 years since the last overhaul..."
Hathaway finally raised her head and said impatiently: "Are you asking me to change to an assistant?"
The assistant was surprised, so he could only leave the office and execute the order.
Not long after Hathaway sat down, the channel channel lights up again, and it has the highest priority. She settled down, connected to the channel, and a middle-aged man with great demeanor appeared in front of her.
"Father, what's the matter?"
"I heard that the pirate flag can't be dispatched?"
"The mobile base is broken."
"Isn't the jumping engine still on it? I just took a look at it, and that thing is still usable. Our Jolly Roger is so little money, it can't be wasted."
The little princess closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Father, you don't know my relationship with Guangnian. Let me take the pirate flag at this time, okay?! Or else? You change your personal control of the pirate flag?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Your brother is preparing to build a new army. That is the top priority of the family and cannot be cloned. Besides him, who is more suitable than you?"
"There are at least a dozen people in the family who have a higher military rank than me, and there are seven or eight people who have a higher military talent than me. Why must it be me?"
The middle-aged man said: "The report on the situation of N77 you wrote some time ago was quite recognized by the elders, so it was unanimously decided that you will lead the army to expedition this time."
"If I remember correctly, the conclusion of that report is not to participate in the N77 war, and it is even better to skip the N77 within the Federation and directly attack the dynasty homeland."
"Yes, you are right. The elders agree with this conclusion, so we finally decided to send the Jolly Roger to N77."
The little princess took another deep breath before remaining calm, and said, "Dad, are you trying to make trouble?"
The middle-aged man waved his hand quickly, "Of course not, how is it possible?"
The little princess had a murderous look in her eyes, and said: "I have enough to worry about the family. I won't say anything if I change someone to bring the pirate flag, but why must I go!"
The middle-aged man smiled and said with a serious heart: "I think you are already old and it is time to take more responsibilities. Although for the children of a normal big family, this age is still in the beginning of learning. But you and them It’s not the same, the height you can reach in the future will be different, and the natural family’s expectations of you are also different. This time the mission is what I won for you. Wait! Don’t get angry, let me just say..."
He straightened his expression and said: "Seriously, there are many things outside of war, such as history and politics. These are all things you need to consider in the future. The direct initiators of this N77 war are Morgan and The family behind Phil, they have also received the support of some members of Congress. We, Winton, have always opposed the expansion of the N77 war. For this reason, the Morgan family has been trying to reach a deal with us. This time, in order to save the little General Morgan. For his military career, the Morgan family made a big bet, so we changed our position on the War Committee and supported their proposal. If we hadn't got 5 votes from us, it would be impossible for Little Morgan to get the reinforcements he wanted."
Hathaway said: "So for the benefit promised by the Morgan family, can we betray our consistent position?"
The man smiled slightly and said: "Don't talk about the position, as long as there is a sufficient price, nothing can't be exchanged. If there is, then the price is not high enough, or the bid is inappropriate. What's more, this matter does not go against our usual practice. Proposition."
"If I remember correctly, our proposal should be to deal with the longitudinal line with all our strength and destroy the main force of the dynasty on the longitudinal line."
"Of course you remembered it correctly, but now that the Morgan family has gone mad and offered a high price that is impossible in ordinary times, why don't we accept it?"
Hathaway wanted to say something, but held back and began to think.
The middle-aged man didn’t let her wait too long and said:
Since the Morgan family has placed a heavy bet, of course we have to play with them. In this round, Morgan is betting that General Morgan Jr. will be able to completely resolve the war on Planet 4. , Thus opening up the path to the dynasty. The Morgan family has already bought the things we invested at double the price. Since there is such a good price, why not invest more?"
"If you want to go to the dynasty to open up a second front, you don't need to lay down planet 4, right? Just block the orbits of the planets and put them on the planet? Can our fleet attack the dynasty homeland through N77?"
The man smiled and said, "That's what I said, but I mentioned it in the parliament first, and the face-saving old Morgan couldn't do it. Anyway, as long as it is the proposal I said, he will oppose it."
Hathaway was a little strange, and asked, "Such an important matter, can you still be arrogant? Even dad, you don't have the right to speak casually in the council? Don't you have to decide what you say?"
The man laughed and said, "It's my daughter, she's smart! Your father and I... Of course you can't talk nonsense in the parliament. The same is true for Old Morgan. Think about it again, why would he oppose my proposal?"
Hathaway thought about it, and said, "It's definitely not because I hate you...Let me think, the Morgan family is not going to open a second front?"
The man applauded and said: "That's right! The Morgan family first proposed to open up a second front, and they are naturally the main force in this direction. It's just that the little Morgan on the 4th planet only fought for two months and lost ten. Ten thousand people have not been defeated. Not only us, but even inside the Morgan family have questioned the leadership of Jr. Morgan. In this case, who will follow Morgan to open up the second front? Rely on Morgan himself? That can be. It's a few light years away."
The man continued: "So even if I know that my proposal is disgusting them, Old Morgan has to follow the trend. But they haven't completely given up on it and want to bet on Little Morgan again. As long as Little Morgan can lay down Planet 4 , That can recover some bargaining chips, and the prestige of the Morgan family can also be preserved. Of course, even if Planet 4 is laid, they will never mention opening up a second front."
"If we want us to support them, we naturally have to pay a price. Morgan has to pay double the price for every Jolly Roger that we send out. This is the price."
Hathaway said: "With the pirate flag dispatched, the time Morgan can support will be shortened accordingly?"
The man nodded: "If a quarter of the pirate flag is dispatched, the Morgan family’s military expenditure can only be supported for one month. After one month, it will either be added or it will have to admit failure. During this period, the casualties of the pirate flag will be counted in their accounts. Come on. Um, it just so happens that the equipment of the Jolly Roger is a bit old, just to be replaced."
Hathaway has already understood that Winton is giving Morgan a strong medicine, either to win or lose.
The man said again: "So the key now is to see if that light-year can withstand this offensive. What do you think?"
When Hathaway thought about it~EbookFREE.me~ the man's expression turned gentle, and said: "If you are in trouble, you don't need to answer. Winton has been passed on for so long. The struggle of generations is not just to give you more A good life? Forced to choose between personal feelings and family interests, my grandfather’s generation may have to face it, but you don’t. Winton will provide shelter for his children instead of forcing them to sacrifice."
The little princess turned firm, and said: "I will take the pirate flag! But not a quarter, but the entire legion!"
The man was startled, and then he laughed: "You are going to kill Morgan! At most half, not more. If you don't give any hope, they will get off the table."
Hathaway nodded.
The man stepped forward, lowered his voice, and said softly, "That person...oh, light years, can you hold it?"
Hathaway said: "Under normal circumstances, the 7th Marine Corps is on the battlefield, and everyone else can't stand it. This time, Morgan will lose everything."
