#974 - Chapter 974 Passive Defensive Measures

"I think your assumption is reasonable; these Zerg must have other purposes. However, be sure to pay attention to safety and be careful not to lose a chicken and end up with no rice," Dongfang Chen Er reminded.

"Okay, I will pay attention," Mengka nodded solemnly.

Although Mengka's strategy was to wait and see, it didn't mean doing nothing.

She would still clear the transforming mechs that landed within the borders of China. As for those outside of China, she would let them do whatever they wanted.

As long as they didn't threaten her, she would completely ignore them.

The Asian United Society's "passive response" attitude was greatly incomprehensible to the Chinese side.

However, considering the unity of the Blue Star Federation, it was not good to directly attack.

Yan Zhengping had no choice but to send an inquiry letter to the Asian United Society, clearly informing them of the consequences of passive defense.

After receiving the inquiry letter, the Asian United Society immediately responded.

The reply stated that the defensive measures taken by the Asian United Society were a proactive strategic defense, not a passive defense. It also emphasized that the Asian United Society's strategic defense was an internal behavior and did not represent the Blue Star Federation. China could imitate it or make its own decisions.

Yan Zhengping was very angry after receiving the reply.

He believed that this was a rhythm to supplant the Blue Star Federation.

So he sent another notification letter, requesting an immediate meeting of the Blue Star Federation Council.

The Blue Star Federation Council Act clearly stipulates that councilors have the right to request a plenary councilor meeting. Each councilor can use this right once a year.

After all, Dongfang Chen, as the nominal Speaker of the Blue Star Federation, had not fulfilled his duties. Therefore, convening a councilor meeting by exercising the right to request became the only normal way to hold a meeting.

After receiving the notification letter, all councilors immediately arrived in Binjiang through the teleportation channel.

Blue Star Calendar, November 9, 2099.

16:30 in the afternoon.

The Blue Star Federation Plenary Councilor Meeting was held offline.

The Chinese side actually knew a little that the Asian United Society was actually controlled behind the scenes by Dongfang Chen Er.

Therefore, the attitude of the Asian United Society was basically the same as the attitude of Dongfang Chen Er.

However, legally speaking, Dongfang Chen Er was not the Speaker of the Blue Star Federation. His attitude did not have legal effect in essence.

Therefore, everyone just knew about this matter in their hearts and did not publicly bring it up.

Nowadays, there are as many councilors in the Blue Star Federation as there are hairs on a cow, with the Asian United Society alone having several hundred.

Therefore, for the sake of balance, China also nominated several hundred.

This resulted in the councilor meeting becoming a super meeting of nearly 800 people.

Currently, Ji Hongfei is the rotating president of the Asian United Society. Therefore, today's meeting will be co-hosted by Yan Zhengping and Ji Hongfei.

"Hello, everyone, councilors of the Blue Star Federation. The reason I requested this plenary councilor meeting of the Blue Star Federation today is to conduct an on-site discussion on the overly conservative defensive measures taken by the Asian United Society in response to the invasion of Blue Star by alien civilizations."

Yan Zhengping's use of the term "overly conservative" to describe the Asian United Society's passive defensive measures was considered a very mild wording.

After hearing this word, the members of the Asian United Society, although they felt it was somewhat inappropriate, did not express any dissatisfaction.

"I believe that Blue Star is the common home of mankind. After decades of suffering, we have finally achieved the current situation of revitalization. We should cherish and care for it even more, and we must never allow any invaders to carry out destruction again."

"Blue Star is the Blue Star of each and every one of us, and maintaining the safety of Blue Star should also be the responsibility of each and every one of us."

"As an important part of the Blue Star Federation, the Asian United Society has an unshirkable responsibility. I believe that an explanation must be given for this overly conservative defensive measure, so as to give an account to the Blue Star Federation and to all citizens of the Blue Star Federation."

The more Yan Zhengping spoke, the more excited he became, and the more intense his wording became.

However, none of the hundreds of councilors of the Asian United Society still expressed dissatisfaction.

"Now, let's invite President Ji to give an answer to this matter." Yan Zhengping handed the floor to Ji Hongfei.

Ji Hongfei did not decline and said:

"Hello, everyone, councilors of the Blue Star Federation. Councilor Yan just said that the defensive measures taken by our Asian United Society are overly conservative defensive measures. I do not agree with this point."

"In the previous reply letter with Councilor Yan, I have already emphasized that the defensive measures taken by the Asian United Society are strategic defense, not conservative defense."

"I also understand that Councilor Yan and the councilors from China have some misunderstandings about our strategic defensive measures. Therefore, I will make a further explanation here to eliminate misunderstandings."

"First, on behalf of the Asian United Society, I would like to state our position: Our basic position is to suggest that the Blue Star Federation follow the example of the Asian United Society and adopt strategic defense."

Yan Zhengping's eyes widened when he heard this.

This was simply unreasonable.

Not only did they not actively defend themselves, but they also wanted to call on others to passively defend themselves. What kind of reasoning was this?
