Infinite Gentleman Chapter 1431
None of these generals were as old as General Baldwin.
They may be old people in the federation period, or when they were sons of Keha, they followed Mengsk's revolutionary comrades.
But no matter what kind of person they were, they were not satisfied with the fact that the junior Baldwin climbed onto them.
Even if, yes, General Baldwin is very strong, very good, yes, General Baldwin’s merits can be said to be outstanding. After all, he was lucky enough to kill the Queen of Blades.
When discussing this matter, all generals like to accentuate the word "lucky." It's as if anyone who is lucky enough to kill the Queen of Blades.
Ridiculous. But it doesn't matter. If they are not allowed to think about it, they will definitely not fall asleep.
This was also the only tolerance that General Baldwin had when facing his predecessors.
"Very well, General." As if not seeing other generals' dissatisfaction with General Baldwin: "You have never let me down." As if he really trusted General Baldwin, Emperor Mengsk was relieved. And then said to General Baldwin:
"Then let's talk about it concretely. After eliminating the enemy of the Queen of Blades, where should the empire go. How should the empire's strategy be formulated?"
Chapter 80 The Situation
After Emperor Mengsk said these words of trusting General Baldwin, General Baldwin could feel that the eyes of the other generals around him became even more unfriendly than before.
"This is clearly trying to put me on the fire." Of course General Baldwin understood what the Great Mengsk meant by doing this.
But he has to cooperate.
He even has to look very excited. Cooperate with the emperor's act of putting himself on the fire. Take the initiative to pour cumin on the sauce...
Of course, it's just that.
"Yes, Your Majesty." General Baldwin spoke immediately: "The Queen of Blades has always been the greatest pest threatening mankind. Under the command of her Majesty, my brave and fearless imperial army wiped it out, naturally reflecting the imperial military might and even more His majesty's spirit and ability."
General Baldwin first flattered the emperor again. In any case, such compliments can never be wrong.
"No, this is the result of everyone's joint efforts." The Emperor is the same. Regardless of whether you are really happy, you still have to show a happy expression, and then deny how good you are. After that, the monarch and the minister humbly gave way back and forth twice. It is the so-called mutual benefit between monarch and minister. After that, General Baldwin continued:
"However, the situation facing the Empire now is much better than it was when the Queen of Blades invaded. But it is still not optimistic." General Baldwin continued his conversation and said:
"Externally, the strength of the insect swarm is still there. At present, on the Star Char and other areas, the insects have moved.
Before, they were suppressed by the Queen of Blades, so we didn't care about them too much. But after the death of the Queen of Blades, we came to an amazing conclusion.
That is, these worms also have powerful intelligence. "
"--Does this mean that the swarm will still unite and fight us?" Hearing what General Baldwin said, some generals couldn't stand still and couldn't help but ask.
Personal feelings are personal feelings, and business is business. Most generals can still distinguish this point.
"Fortunately, this possibility is not high. Because the status of all queen worms is theoretically equal. They each command their respective communities. They do not belong to each other. Originally, only the Queen of Blades could give orders to them. But now the Queen of Blades They are no longer there. So they are trapped in a situation of their own governance.
More importantly, they have ambition and power.
I sorted out the information of Char Xing. The above shows that the insect swarms on Char's star are killing each other.
It was like the carnage between the Cerebrates and the current Queen of Blades after the Lord died.
They will not stop this killing before deciding on a new master of the swarm.
And this is our opportunity--" General Baldwin said:
Of course, I also want to remind everyone that we must attack quickly, decisively, and violently. Otherwise, once the swarm is integrated, choose a new ruler, new ruler, or new blade queen. Or some other terrible monster, then humanity will face terrible threats again. "The words of General Baldwin made all the generals look heavy.
"That's right, General, what else?" The emperor continued to look at General Baldwin with admiration, and then asked:
"In addition to the Swarm, we also face another alien race. The Protoss.
Fortunately, at least they still have civilization and they can communicate. Given the current situation of the empire, it is not appropriate to make enemies everywhere. One thing for me, if possible, the Empire should establish permanent diplomatic relations with the Protoss. "
"We have tried. But those Protoss are too arrogant, they look down on anyone at all." After General Baldwin spoke, an official in charge of foreign affairs complained.
Yes, the empire also has diplomatic functions. In addition to the Kepru District, the two other political entities established by human immigrants, Yumojie and Kyle Moria, had unstable exchanges. For other remote colonial stars of the empire, it is also a matter of diplomatic institutions in theory.
Although General Baldwin did not comment on this, it would increase the centrifugal force of the colony to some extent. But at any time, trying to take their power from the bureaucrats is whimsical. Therefore, the current foreign affairs department is still in charge of colonial affairs. This is also helpless.
"That was before this." General Baldwin's voice showed strong self-confidence: "And now, I believe that through the Battle of Charl Star, our strength, wisdom and courage have been fully demonstrated. Even the most arrogant. Protoss should also admit this, that is, the empire has the qualifications to discuss with them on an equal footing."
Listening to the sonorous and powerful speech of General Baldwin, the surrounding generals and officials seemed very contradictory. On the one hand, the strength and greatness of the region makes them feel proud. But when they thought that this kind of honor was brought to them by the bastard kid who didn't look pleasing to the eye, they felt very awkward.
"Well said."
Indifferently, their contradictory mentality is worthless in front of Emperor Mengsk.
The emperor praised General Baldwin without hesitation, and ordered: "We can send envoys to Shakurath."
"Please allow me to recommend myself." General Baldwin said: "I used to fight side by side with the Protoss in the Battle of Charl, so..."
"Well...I'll consider this matter, please go on." Mengsk did not agree or object, and his attitude was slightly ambiguous.
"Yes, after talking about external threats, the next step is internal threats." General Baldwin said: "In previous wars, some perfidious colonial stars abandoned the empire, or suffered from terrorists like Jim Reynolds. Incitement, or for other reasons, even declared independence.
If the wave of independence on these planets is not suppressed, then where is the majesty of the empire? !
So I think that these colonial stars should be suppressed as quickly as possible. "
"Indeed." General Baldwin's speech seemed to win the emperor's heart. Mengsk's expression became a bit more vivid.
As said before, he would never let anyone else threaten his status.
"Of course, compared to these colonial stars, there is another enemy. They are now lurking. It seems that humans and animals are harmless. But thinking about their past, you can know that they are more dangerous than those colonizing stars.
In other words, Jim Reynolds, and his armed rebel group. "
Chapter 81 Meet Again
Planet Umoje, the secret base of Prince Valenrian. The Rangers and the newly joined Kerrigan stayed here for more than ten days.
Prince Valenrian seemed to be surprised at Kerrigan's ability to control a certain swarm after he was transformed back into a human. Maybe he wanted to make some weapons and equipment by studying this.
Of course, such behavior makes Kerrigan feel very uncomfortable.
Because it was the son of that man, and at the same time he did something like this, Kerrigan can always think of Mengsk sending himself to Tarsonis to install the phantom energy generator and then use the swarm to defeat the Federation.
For this reason, Kerrigan did something crazy-she instructed her to hatch and expand the swarm of insects, and to tear down the entire research institute. I vented my emotions a bit and caused tens of billions of losses. Fortunately, no casualties were caused.
What's more pleasant is that I didn't receive any punishment after doing this kind of thing. On the contrary, Prince Valenrian who suffered a loss still apologized to her.
This is really a pleasant thing.
But that's all.
