Chapter 139 United

334, March 16

Flagship "Indestructible" communication room, informal meeting of the highest military leaders of the alliance

Huo Xiu stood step by step.

There were only a few people around, and before he attended the meeting, he didn't know what the focus of the discussion was. He took a look at everyone who attended the meeting. President Harrison Barton; Air Force Commander-in-Chief Eisen Eaton*; Military Commission Vice Chairman Dick Luther*, Shen Tianfeng*.

He was the lowest person present, so he stood and kept silent before no one spoke.

"Guys," President Patton looked at the people in front of him, "there is an important thing that needs to be discussed."

He turned his eyes to Huo Xiu and said, "A few hours ago, a rebel commander sent me an encrypted message, which was a video."

Barton clicked on the program and the video was played. Because he was standing in front of the crowd, Huo Xiu took a step forward in order to get a better angle.

At the beginning of the video, Austin Cruz's face suddenly appeared in the video. Huo Xiu suddenly felt an accident, and when he looked at other people's faces, he looked surprised.

"Mr. President, I'm sorry to bother you at this time, but please read it patiently." Austin in the video looked indifferent and didn't mean to disturb at all. "Before I recorded this video, I had a contradictory struggle, but in the end, I was sure I would do it."

Austin said solemnly: "I decided to leave the federal army, lead a fleet of the size of the Alliance Standard Fleet to join the Alliance Fleet, voluntarily adapt it into the Sixth Fleet of the Alliance, and let more than 6 billion people peacefully return to the alliance with the colonial star of the Jeta Galaxy and the Colonial Star of the Oshik Galaxy."

"Of course, I also have two requirements." He deliberately paused for a moment, "First, I will give up the position of fleet commander, but I must let General Huo Xiu, the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Fleet, be the commander-in-chief; second, I ask that Huo Xiu marry his subordinate Eleanor Cruz, or Rad Cruz and Huo Xiu's sister Huo Sixin."

"I will give you two days to think about it. If I can achieve the above two points, I will return to the alliance with the above conditions and provide key information about the enemy's operations."

"Two days later, a cruiser will appear in the Jetar Galaxy, waiting for your response." Austin said, "Of course, if you don't believe it or get this video out, I won't mind. I believe that Mr. President will know better than anyone else about the current situation."

At the end of the short video, everyone stared at Huo Xiu, and even he himself was at a loss and said, "Don't look at me like that. I don't know what's going on."

"It's very simple. Cruz has lost several battles, and his position in the rebel camp has become awkward, or his status is not guaranteed, and he can't get along." Dick Luther said, "But this old guy is really shrewd enough to think of such a move."

"What I want to discuss now is whether to do this deal or not?" Barton asked everyone.

Shen Tianfeng stood up and said, "We need this force very much. Even if Cruz can't bring too much military assistance, it can reduce the threat of the Fifth Fleet and make the Fifth Fleet play a greater role in the near-regional war. We all know best that if there is no change, the alliance fleet will not last half. Year."

"We need to at least ask the parties for their opinions, right?" General Eaton said in a low voice that he had been looking at Huo Xiu, who looked embarrassed.

"General Huo, the second request of the other party mentioned you and your sister." Patton looked at Huo Xiu, "Presumably this kind of marriage often happens in your big family, you--"

"Let him make his own decision, Your Excellency!" General Eaton interrupted Patton.

Huo Xiu was silent for a moment and asked, "Will you agree to the first one?"

"There is no problem." Shen Tianfeng said, "At present, your command ability is the strongest, and you are also the highest voice of the army. If we let others control the fleet, maybe those people will not accept it, but you are different. You have defeated them again and again."

"Even if he doesn't bring the fleet, the alliance is acceptable." The president also said, "With this power, you can weaken the strength of the rebels without it. What's more, I believe in General Huo's personal ability."

"Look up at me." Huo Xiu smiled bitterly, but does he still have the right to refuse at present? At present, the alliance's big enemy, in order to win, not to mention sacrificing his own happiness, even if Austin makes more demanding demands, this group will seriously consider its feasibility.

"I will never let my sister marry someone I don't know." Huo Xiu said firmly that this is a principle. If someone dares to offend, he will immediately turn against him.

"That's just you." Dick Luther said.

"Is that okay, Huo Xiu?" General Eaton asked him.

"It's okay." Huo Xiu shook his head and said, "My personal efforts will always be secondary to bring stronger power to the war and liberate the two colonial stars."

"I thank you on behalf of all the people of the alliance, General Huo!" President Patton walked up to him, "Your decision has brought peace to the alliance. Everyone will remember your noble integrity. You are a real hero. It is because of people like you that the alliance will stand!"

"Grew the salute!"

Under the order of the president, everyone saluted Huo Xiu.

......

Until the end of the meeting, Huo Xiu was still in a trance. One is the sudden surrender of Austin Cruz, but it was also expected that he could defeat the enemy without losing a single soldier, which is the highest level of victory he thought, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. The other is surprised to decide his lifelong event in a few words. It seems that he only met Ellie a few days ago. Nuo talked about it and said that it would be enough to marry a woman for a lifetime in the future, but he didn't expect it to come true so soon.

But there is one thing he is worried about - what about Eleanor's opinion? Although she usually has a good relationship with her, the two also slept in a ** in those years. She is an excellent soldier, an intelligent leader, and subordinates who obey orders, but she has never regarded her as a partner in her heart.

Eleanor's own conditions are not bad, and she is also the type pursued by a lot of people in society. Due to her origin and family education, she is calm, noble and generous. She is a woman who can make her own decisions at critical moments and is no worse than any man.

This is the so-called door-to-door match, but Huo Xiu believes that marriage is not a unilateral thing. He can make sacrifices for war, but Eleanor's happiness can only be in her own hands. If she disagrees, he will respect her opinion and discuss another way with Austin Cruz.

He called Eleanor and asked her to go to the communication room.

Then, Huo Xiu sat behind the deck window and looked at the night sky outside, and his thoughts drifted there... Eleanor seemed to have been in for a long time. I don't know how those people told her. Anyway, the president of the alliance, the vice chairman of the military commission and the commander-in-chief of the air force said that it was a rare thing in a hundred years.

Huo Xiu looked at the corridor more than a dozen times. Finally, a figure appeared at the end. He quickly turned his head away and pretended to be meditative, but his ears were paying attention to the movement around him.

There are not many people around. Eleanor's footsteps are very light, but Huo Xiu can still feel that she has approached him... behind him.

"sor."

She whispered, Huo Xiu turned around, made eye contact with her, and then hurriedly staggered - he scolded himself in his heart that he was not promising. Why did he lose the demeanor he usually faced with women this time?

"You--"

Two people made a sound at the same time.

"You'd better say it first." Huo Xiu smiled awkwardly.

"I..." Eleanor was a little awkward. "Just now, several officers have told me about this matter in detail, and they said that you are willing to agree to this matter."

"What?" Huo Xiu almost jumped up from his seat, which means that he was willing to agree. It was clear that those guys did not give him a chance to shake his head at all.

Erino looked at him strangely.

"Cough, does that mean?" Of course, Huo Xiu can't say this, which will embarrass the girl, and if he calculates it seriously, he also took the initiative to agree.

"But I know it may not be your intention." Although she was shy, Eleanor was not stupid. Her ability to be recognized by Huo Xiu naturally reminded her of the whole process at the first moment she heard the news. "But this is the only possibility that can make my family safe so that I don't have to worry about confrontation with them on the battlefield. So... we can only keep the written agreement, and our lives are still non-interference with each other.

She said this in a low voice, but Huo Xiu heard it clearly.

"Well... Since you have decided to do so, I respect your opinion." Huo Xiu couldn't guess Eleanor's attitude towards her, but she wanted to help her family, which was the only way.

"What about us?" Huo Xiu looked at her.

"They are very efficient. After I promised, the relevant files have been entered into the Civil Affairs Bureau, and we are now a legal couple." Eleanor said with a red face.

Huo Xiu actually wants to ask if he wants to return to the Colonial Star now, but it may not be necessary.

"Congratulations." Huo Xiu said in a stunned way that the emotional group of people were more anxious than themselves, "Shall we go to the restaurant to order a few meals? It's a ceremony?"

"Hmm." She nodded.

"Okay, let's go." Huo Xiu walked ahead, and Eleanor followed him.

A major military change has been completed, and the returned Sixth Fleet and the two colonial stars are more like Eleanor's dowry to marry Hoshie, but unfortunately these gifts are too expensive, so the custody is still in the hands of the alliance government, and the two eventually become only participants, not the ultimate beneficiaries.

Maybe part of it.

The sixth fleet is the commander-in-chief. Since then, Huo Xiu's authority has expanded. He is the commander-in-chief of the two fleets, the commander-in-chief of a colonial star, and the deputy commander of a colonial star. If nothing unexpected happens, he is still the commander-in-chief of the colonial star of the Jeta Galaxy.

Does power inflate ambition, or does ambition increase power? It's hard to figure it out, but he doesn't refuse all this - it should be his own, and he will fight for it!
