Chapter 995: Why can

After a long while, with a soft sigh from the Grand Leader, the silence of the conference room was broken.

"Little Song..."

"I have already understood the situation you described."

"Next, I will dispatch troops to go and rescue the Desert Camel Nation."

"Take care of your health and go back to get some rest..."

"Rest?"

Song Qi hurriedly shook his head.

"Grand Leader, Song Qi has one more presumptuous request; I hope you can agree..."

"Oh?"

The Grand Leader's voice rose slightly; since he had known Song Qi, this kid had never asked him for anything before...

Song Qi had rendered such great service; if he had any request, even if it were harsh, he, as the Grand Leader, had to try his best to satisfy it!

Thinking of this, the Grand Leader nodded and said with a smile,

"Feel free to say it!"

"Since you, Song Qi, have opened your mouth, how could I have any reason not to agree?"

"Grand Leader! I want to accompany the troops to the Desert Camel Nation!"

"Hey! I thought it was something major; so it's just..."

"Eh? Wait?"

The smile on the Grand Leader's face froze instantly.

"What did you just say?"

"Accompany the troops on an expedition? Song Qi, have you lost your mind?"

"No! Absolutely not!"

"You kid think this is going out on a government-funded vacation? This is a military campaign, people die!"

"Go stay wherever it's cool!"

The Grand Leader never imagined that the request Song Qi would make would be this; he refused it directly without even thinking!

Please?

How important is Song Qi to the Dragon Nation?

You could ask the Grand Leader to die himself, and he still wouldn't be willing to let Song Qi be in danger!

And this kid Song Qi, having just snatched his life back from the gates of hell...

turns around and wants to charge into the most dangerous battlefield on Blue Star right now!

Isn't this purely lighting a lamp in a latrine—looking for sh*t?

With this kind of death-seeking behavior from Song Qi, even the King of Hell would say, 'Go ahead!'

At this moment, the military high command heard that Song Qi actually wanted to accompany the troops to the Desert Camel Nation.

They panicked instantly.

They hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him.

"Little Song! You're still young! If there's something bothering you, you must tell your uncles; don't always be looking to throw your life away! Your uncles can't say much else, but in the Dragon Nation, we have a bit of influence! Any problem can be solved for you!!"

"That's right, that's right! Major General Song, you are our Dragon Nation's undisputed national treasure; who knows how many research fields are still waiting for you to make breakthroughs! How can you go to such a dangerous place as a battlefield?"

"Indeed! Furthermore, you've just recovered from a major illness; even if you go to the battlefield, you won't be able to play much of a role! It's understandable for young people to have wild ideas, but Little Song, it's better not to do things that are too dangerous! As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall!"

"And, Little Song, you don't have any battlefield experience! Charging onto the battlefield like this is just handing over your head, isn't it!"

"..."

The generals spoke all at once, but in every word, there was only one meaning.

Song Qi!

Must absolutely, definitely not go to the battlefield!

A top-tier scientist like Song Qi is worth seventy armored divisions all by himself.

If something were to go wrong on the battlefield,

that would be a huge disaster!

On the side, the Grand Leader, who had been very agitated, finally calmed down a little.

He looked into Song Qi's eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

"Song Qi."

"I know you; a person like you must have your own deep meaning for everything you do, and you wouldn't act recklessly."

"So, I want to hear your reasons for doing this..."

The Grand Leader's steady, powerful voice came through.

He was a political creature through and through; in his eyes, Song Qi was by no means just an outstanding junior.

In the Grand Leader's heart, Song Qi's wisdom had reached a point that made even him extremely concerned.

Or rather, in the Grand Leader's heart, there was a trace of awe toward Song Qi.

Therefore, the Grand Leader wanted to know what Song Qi was really thinking...

Song Qi looked at the Grand Leader, not intending to hide anything, and stated his thoughts openly.

"Report to the Grand Leader and all the commanders!"

"Song Qi's move is not an act of impulse!"

"If the Free Nation's energy shortage this time is truly related to the Attendant Civilization creature... then I think the Free Nation's ultimate goal must be the Desert Camel Nation's rich oil fields!"

"Once the Desert Camel Nation's oil resources are seized, the speed at which that Attendant Civilization person accumulates energy will inevitably become even more exaggerated!"

"If this continues, I fear that before our Dragon Nation can crush the Free Nation, the extraterrestrial civilization's spaceship will have already accumulated full energy..."

"By then, what awaits Blue Star will be a catastrophic disaster!!!"

As Song Qi's voice fell, the conference room fell into an eerie silence.

Everyone had their mouths wide open, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Only the Grand Leader rested his chin on his hand, as if weighing the pros and cons.

"So..."

"You intend to go to the Desert Camel Nation to find clues about the collusion between the Free Nation and the extraterrestrial civilization..."

"And ideally, find the exact landing spot of the Attendant Civilization's spaceship!"

"And finally, we launch a devastating strike against it?"

This time, Song Qi did not deny it, but nodded firmly.

The Grand Leader looked at Song Qi's determined gaze and continued to ask.

"But Song Qi, have you thought about the fact that the danger level of this move far exceeds your imagination..."

"Are you truly prepared?"

Even a fool knows that collusion with an extraterrestrial civilization is absolutely the Free Nation's most top-secret information.

For Song Qi to want to unearth clues could be said to be as difficult as ascending to heaven!

And given the Free Nation's viciousness, once they discovered that Song Qi knew this secret, the consequences would be simply unimaginable...

With Song Qi's current status and prestige in the Dragon Nation,

he could easily lie on his laurels for the rest of his life!

No one would say anything to him...

Why must he shoulder the burden of national righteousness and live so exhaustingly?

After all, no one knows how much energy the Attendant Civilization's spaceship still needs...

Even if the Grand Leader didn't say these words, Song Qi knew them clearly in his own heart. ===== CHAPTER 997 =====
