Chapter 706: We soldiers can die in battle
Xia Na gasped in a low voice: "So strong?"
Su Yang emphasized: "This is just the experts the Storm Eagle discovered! They should have more powerhouses, and they are mostly likely not from our Water Blue Star."
Sovereign Jiazi asked: "Then what should we do?"
Su Yang narrowed his eyes: "I'm thinking about whether to kill them all!"
Xia Na said: "Maybe they don't have any malicious intent?"
"Xia Na, you are being too wishful. It is very clear that the opponent's strength likely far exceeds our Water Blue Star. The combat power is too disparate. Once the gap in strength between the two sides is too large, they have a high probability of taking action against us." Having said this, Sovereign Jiazi shrugged and complained, "Unless they are followers of Confucianism... or they themselves lack nothing!"
"If there were no malicious intent, they wouldn't be staying here, and they wouldn't be gathering so many powerful beastmasters!" Su Yang added. "My view is similar to Sovereign Jiazi's. The opponent is highly likely to have come with malicious intent. Little Shan also said that beastmasters from the Ferocious Beast Great World like to plunder; it is a world where the weak are prey to the strong."
"Then what does General Su plan to do?"
In the end, Su Yang was still their backbone.
"Go back and report to the General Military Department, let them be prepared, and then I will try to enter that world through that space fusion point to gather their intentions from that side!"
Sovereign Jiazi asked suspiciously: "Wouldn't it be better to just grab a tongue here?"
"No, there are too few people here; if I grab one randomly, I will be detected!" Su Yang shook his head. "This group of people has at least two Emperor-tier beastmasters, and the force behind them must be very large. Whether I am discovered or I kill them all, the force will take notice. To find out their intentions without anyone knowing, it is more convenient to do so in the Ferocious Beast Great World."
"I just want to try to delay time as much as possible and let us prepare more, do you understand?"
Sovereign Jiazi asked again: "Then what if you are discovered by this group of people when you go over?"
"The probability is not high; the Void Spirit is very strong. If I am truly discovered, then of course I will choose to take action directly; that is the worst-case scenario!"
"With our current strength, I'm afraid we can't win!"
Sovereign Jiazi said somewhat dejectedly.
She was telling the truth; the opponent's vanguard alone had at least two Emperor-tier beastmasters.
Maybe even God-tier beastmasters would appear.
The probability of our Huaxia Federation winning is not high.
Su Yang smiled and said: "It's okay, even if the worst happens, I still have a trump card!"
"Oh? Really?"
"Of course it's true!"
"Are you talking about the Hell Blood Vine Flower?"
"Hmm!" Su Yang nodded. "Let's go, let's go back for a trip!"
After putting away the Storm Eagle, Su Yang took Sovereign Jiazi and Xia Na and left the Antarctic in a hurry.
After reporting the matter to Marshal Xu, Marshal Xu scratched his increasingly sparse hair and sighed heavily.
Even after knowing about the batch of beastmasters from another world, Marshal Xu was not too panicked. After smoking a cigarette, he looked out the window and said slowly: "Actually, someone in the Strategic Bureau proposed this possibility early on."
"Hmm!"
Su Yang didn't feel strange either.
The people in the Strategic Bureau were not just eating for free.
Their strength might be poor, but their brains were still very sharp.
Even in this era where ferocious beasts run rampant, people with good brains still have a place to be useful.
"The comrades in the Strategic Bureau also believe that if the combat power of the two sides is vastly different, they likely won't have any good intentions; after all, if you are backward, you will be beaten!"
"Did they discuss a countermeasure at the time?"
Marshal Xu pursed his lips awkwardly: "If the conditions offered by the other party are decent and we can accept them, then surrender directly!"
"Huh? So straightforward?"
Was this still the iron-willed Huaxia that Su Yang imagined?
"It is just that straightforward!" Marshal Xu said with a bitter smile. "They believe that if the combat power of the two sides is truly disparate and we have no hope of victory, and the other party's conditions are not particularly harsh, then it is better to just surrender directly and strive for a good treatment..."
"General Su, you know how strong Emperor-tier and God-tier beastmasters can be... Before the Great Cataclysm, the nuclear bombs that our Water Blue Star was proud of were just a joke in front of Emperor-tier beastmasters. We certainly don't want to surrender, but we want even less to have our country destroyed and our race exterminated!"
"We soldiers can die in battle, but there is no reason to lead tens of millions of Huaxia Federation citizens to their deaths with us!"
Su Yang lowered his head and fell silent.
He understood that the strategy of the Strategic Bureau was indeed not bad.
If you really can't win, then there's no need to fight.
Because no country is willing to fight a war that is sure to be lost!
Then it would be better to surrender first and wait for an opportunity.
After a long time, he asked slowly: "Then what now? Marshal Xu, then what now? What do you think now?"
"What I think now is no longer important!"
"Not important?"
Hearing Marshal Xu's words, Su Yang frowned.
He couldn't figure out the meaning behind Marshal Xu's words.
Marshal Xu pointed at Su Yang: "What's important now is what you think!"
"What I think?"
Su Yang asked in surprise.
He couldn't understand when the fate of the Huaxia Federation had become his decision to make.
He was only a General.
Marshal Xu was the boss of the Federation!
"General Su, you are now the Federation's number one powerhouse, and you have Liu Liu Mengyun, Sovereign Jiazi, and Xia Na by your side. It can be said that if a fight really breaks out, you are the Federation's strongest combat power... The outcome of our Federation largely depends on you!" Marshal Xu said in a low voice. "If you don't want to fight, then our Federation will definitely have to surrender directly!"
"..."
Su Yang sat on the sofa, leaning against the back of the sofa, looking up at the ceiling.
That pressure came instantly.
What Marshal Xu said was all fact.
If Su Yang didn't want to fight, facing the two Emperor-tier beastmasters and several Emperor-tier beastmasters who had already arrived in the Antarctic, the Federation couldn't possibly win!
Those people were already enough to sweep through all the cities of the Federation!
If Su Yang wanted to fight, then he would have to prepare to sacrifice countless Huaxia Federation beastmaster troops, or even hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of civilians.
If they lost, the Huaxia Federation would only be more miserable!
This feeling of heavy pressure was the first time Su Yang had experienced it.
Marshal Xu looked at Su Yang's tightly furrowed brow and couldn't help but tease: "How is it, General Su, have you experienced the feeling I've been under? Is there pressure?"
Su Yang wiped his face and complained: "When is it, and you're still laughing!"
"You should learn more from me, always stay calm and optimistic!" Marshal Xu held his teacup and sat down beside Su Yang, the sofa slowly sinking. "No matter if your mood is good or bad, things will not Direction Change because of your mood. No matter what happens, you must learn to be calm!"
"Then what does Marshal Xu think?"
"First, follow your method and go scout it out, figure out the opponent's intentions and power first, and then we'll talk... After all, they don't seem to have any intention of taking action immediately!"
