These words immediately had an effect on Patrick that was incomparable to any language. His face sluggishly narrowed his eyes, and looked at Zhou Yiming, who was cold and indifferent to him. After nearly two minutes, he shook his head with a gloomy expression and said, "You are even more crazy than I thought. The parliament will never pass such a proposal. This is equivalent to imposing economic sanctions on the federal colonies. The materials produced on those planets supply the trade foundation of the entire northern half of the earth. If you really want to do this, I promise..."

"G G. Sixty-four Star Domain has always been around. Before they were captured, the 18th Fleet will close all the waterways there. Any ship that dares to approach will be attacked———"

The general ignored Patrick's threat at all. He stared at the image of the old man in the blue light curtain and sneered sinisterly: "The closure will last for a long time. Half a year, five years, or ten years are possible. The civil aviation department will receive complaints about pirates every day. The Federal Fleet must do something about this, even the parliament cannot blame."

In an instant, Patrick's forehead had already oozed with sweat. He suddenly realized that when he was evaluating the strength of both sides, he did not consider Zhou Yiming's tough stance on the whole matter. He was simply a stubborn guy who often did not play according to common sense. If he insisted on closing the waterway with the excuse of clearing out pirates, the parliament would not have opposed it. However... the agricultural and sideline products produced on the three colonial planets would always be in the container to rot.

That is not a loss of just a few million federal dollars. About forty percent of the entire Hamilton family's economic source comes from these three planets.

Sometimes, military power is indeed higher than politics.

After a few minutes of silence, a trace of bitterness finally appeared on Patrick's face.

"As you said, that child...is not dead, he is still alive."

He decided to bow his head to Zhou Yiming. However, it was very limited.

The general looked at him coldly and said, "Or, I should send Major General Oger to the western frontline. Let him taste the serious injury and dying in person———"

“It’s not fair———”

Patrick suddenly raised his tone and said angrily: "You have not announced the true identity of the child. He has no archive records in the General Census Administration. If you insist on doing this, the Joint Staff will impeach you."

Zhou Yiming smiled disapprovingly: "You can try it. I will order the 18th Squadron to close the channel now."

"etc----"

The old man stood up from the recliner in shock and angrily, his eyes burning with raging flames glaring at the general. After a moment, he suddenly sighed, sat down dejectedly, nodded with an extremely ugly face: "Okay... talk about your conditions."

Many things in this world can be exchanged for benefits. As long as you pay a sufficient price, no matter how big the crack is, it can be compensated.

"The Hamiltons shall not make any moves on that child, nor shall they oppose the resolutions made by the military headquarters against him."

Zhou Yiming viciously emphasized his tone and said, "In addition, 15 million federal dollars must be taken out and donated to the military headquarters free of charge in private name."

Patrick felt his heart beating violently uncontrollably———This number is too big, equivalent to 30% of the entire family’s annual total income.

Perhaps seeing the hesitation and unwillingness on his face, Zhou Yiming sneered twice and said, "Of course, you can refuse."

Hearing this, Patrick suddenly raised his head and stared at the general with a fierce and violent look. The latter also had a bright look without any intention of giving in. Even more obvious sarcasm and threats were found. After nearly five minutes of stalemate, the old man in the blue light curtain finally sighed, shook his head helplessly, and then nodded heavily.

He suddenly discovered that all the backs he had arranged in advance were simply a piece of tissue that could be broken in front of absolutely powerful military forces. Although the military must obey politics, in places where checks and balances cannot be carried out through formal means... strength is everything.

......

Among the books published after 2036 of the Earth Calendar, a noun with extremely frequent usage is often mentioned - World War III.

There is no exact data to show how many people died in that war that lasted for four years? The official data released after the war only summed it up to the "three billion" range. Nuclear missiles, chemical weapons, powerful bacterial bombs, poison gases... All the items listed in the "Wheel of Mass Destruction Banned Roster" can be found on the battlefield that can never be concealed. All participating countries are accusing the other party of using them first. Arguing, ridicule, naked/naked/naked fists... The war did not really determine the outcome. If it were not for the actual ability of the earth and human society to bear such disorder and chaos, the war would probably continue to this day.

Without a landmark end, it is naturally impossible to separate the real victory and defeated groups like the previous two wars in history. Without compensation, no one stood up to bear the blame for this. With the two major warring groups as representatives of different interests, human society was divided into two major political circles—the former is a global feudal that firmly believes in the democratic system. The latter is a pan-joint army based on the great priesthood and then formed an imperial feudal system.

War is the best catalyst for science and technology.

The earth's battlefield is no longer limited to the traditional three-dimensional combat mode. The eyes of military strategists and rulers focus more on the competition at the space level. When new combat satellites are continuously launched, orbital laser launchers, heavy aerospace fighters, floating particle beam launchers, etc. are becoming more and more new weapons, and attacking ground targets in the most direct way, almost all scientists have turned their attention to space. Perhaps, only there is where they can truly avoid chaos and death and get a truly safe and tranquil place.

The first cosmic colonial spacecraft in human history, "Hope Nine", was launched in Jiuquan on July 27, 2055. According to the relevant treaties signed by the Federation and the Pan-United Forces, this spacecraft, which concentrates all the technological forces of the two major warring groups, will establish the first human interstellar immigration site on Mars. Half a year later, the two spacecraft with a capacity of 2,000 crews will fly to Andromeda and Centauri respectively. According to the observations of the Hubble 46 space telescope at that time, there are probably habitable terrestrial planets in the two target areas.

No one expected that humans would be forced into space because of war. The competition for interests between the Pan-United Army and the Earth Federation continued from the Earth Age to the universe. In the past two hundred years, it has concealed and submerged too much historical truth. It is impossible to tell who is truly on the side of justice, and there is only a hatred that cannot be mediated between each other that is immortal and can never be mediated.

They all left the earth, but were unable to truly abandon the burial place of their ancestors. The radiation left over from the war, chemical pollution, a large amount of dirt that cannot be recovered after the explosion and leakage of the oil well, and countless plastic products used and abandoned by billions of people in the civilization era... The area of ​​the Amazon rainforest has shrunk by 80%, and the Antarctic glaciers have been exposed in green. All Pacific island countries, including Indonesia, were all swallowed up by sea water as early as the middle of the last century. The continental area that humans once depended on for survival was only 74% left.

......

Close the extremely heavy "Chronicle of the Earth", Zhao Yi pushed his chair away and stood up, slowly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window more than two meters high, looking up at the ray of rays of rays of light shot out from the depths of the dark clouds, illuminating a soft golden sunshine on the ground.

The smooth glass surface of the window reflects its own faint projection.

The blue-gray federal army uniform fits very well, and the newly shaved short black hair stands upright, showing the unique spirit and ability of young people. The skin is no longer as pale as just left S12, adding a layer of copper color produced by natural light. Combined with the cheekbones and the heroic facial contour, it forms a masculine male face.

The eyes are still pure and deep ink black. However, compared with two months ago, there are some extra things.

It appears more gloomy and begins to restrain itself. It rarely releases pure and expectant eyes like before, but is as cunning and cold as a scheming elder.

The survivors of s12 have taught Zhao Yi almost all the knowledge in the world. He has powerful evolutionary power, extraordinary mind, agility speed, and advanced research theories involving any discipline that ordinary people cannot match. However, no one can teach him how to deal with himself, solve it... or use it when facing dangers and traps.

There are many things that can never be found in schools and teachers.

You have to truly integrate into this society.

Although it is extremely dirty and full of sin, it is a breeding ground where countless maggots and dirt are parasitized... But no one can deny that if you want to live like a normal person, you must contact it. As for contamination or rejection, it is your own choice. No one can blame you, and it is even more impossible to give praise.

In the corridor outside the door, calm and rhythmic footsteps came.

Zhou Yiming wore a half-old uniform as usual. Although he was old, he gave people a thin and elegant feeling. He was stubborn, tough, but not unreasonable. This is the real reason why he was respected or hated by too many people. It can be regarded as an advantage, and it can also be said to be the most fatal mistake.

Zhao Yi turned around and silently looked at the old man who had visited him in the hospital many times. He found that the other party was also looking at him with scrutiny. This silence that seemed to be able to directly see through his heart through his appearance lasted for nearly three minutes before the general walked to the main seat behind the desk and sat down, stretched out his finger to the chair on the side, and said with a pleasant look: "Sit!"
