Chapter 709: Merchant Ship Attacked
Hearing this, Liu Cheng not only did not think that Gary's views were too extreme, but he agreed with Gary's words.
When he first joined the special forces, he also believed that everyone should be saved.
But later, he met more and more people, and saw all kinds of different people.
Some people are gentle and kind, some are honest and brave, some are insidious and cunning, and some are greedy and lazy...
Among these people, some make him respect and admire, and some make him want to kill the other person with his own hands.
Song Ziming, who was standing aside, was greatly shocked after hearing Gary's words, and his whole body trembled.
After feeling the movement from the side, Liu Cheng, Gary and others all looked at Song Ziming.
Liu Cheng asked in confusion:
"Captain Song, do you have any opinions you want to refute?"
The people present were all senior personnel of the Black Gold Alliance and the 9728 Corps, so Song Ziming did not feel inconvenient to express his own opinions.
Song Ziming laughed at himself and said:
"I don't want to refute the views of Captain Garywei.
On the contrary, I think the truth contained in what Captain Garywei said is very correct, and my previous thinking was too narrow.
I was born in a military family, and I was taught from childhood to adulthood that as a soldier, I must defend the United Government and all mankind.
But I have never reflected on whether the officials sitting above me are worthy of my soldiers to protect with their lives.
I have never thought about whether the citizens of the United Government that I led the soldiers to risk their lives to fight against alien creatures are good people or scum.
I used to be the kind of person that Captain Garywei said only knew how to mindlessly obey orders from superiors.
That’s why I suffered a great loss at the hands of those special councillors, and ruined the Veterans’ Union that I and those veteran brothers had established.
The result of our efforts to protect all mankind has become a puppet organization established by some special councillors to recruit private armies.
Later, because of the loss of the Veterans’ Union, more young people who had dedicated their youth to defend humanity joined the Veterans’ Union, which had changed its nature, and worked for those special councillors.
I used to blame Liu Cheng for not wanting to devote all of himself to the United Government.
Haha, now that I think about it, I am the one who should be laughed at the most! ”
Liu Cheng, Gary Wei, Augustine, Fu Yan and others looked at Song Ziming who shook his head helplessly, and none of them laughed at him.
On the contrary, they admired Song Ziming for being able to reflect on it.
Let me ask, if they grew up in the same environment as Song Ziming, how much better could they do than Song Ziming?
Liu Cheng said:
"Captain Song, you don't have to be so self-deprecating.
No one is perfect, and no one can do everything right like a saint.
On the contrary, if I hadn't met such an upright Captain Song, I wouldn't be who I am now.
Maybe I have developed into a bastard who has no bottom line for my own interests like the leaders of the underground forces.
Or maybe I would have died long ago."
Liu Cheng didn't say this nonsense.
Under the influence of Song Ziming, he formed a very resolute and upright character.
If it weren't for the seemingly thankless good things he did, he wouldn't have received the help of Zhou Zun, Gary and others.
Even when they were in the Centauri Tristar Region, the dark web organization would not stand up to help them escape the military court trial.
Maybe at that time they would have fallen into the hands of the eight-legged insects and would have been dead long ago.
Hearing this, Song Ziming also nodded in agreement.
He thought:
"Liu Cheng is growing fast and has surpassed me, the old captain.
I can't be too lazy and fall behind these young people.
I have to work hard to grow!"
Just after the meeting, Ryan received a bad news from his subordinates.
He called Gary and others who were about to leave with a serious face, and said to everyone:
"It's not good, butcher boss.
In our interstellar transportation branch, several commercial transport ships responsible for transporting food were attacked by the private army of the interstellar nobles of Fengtu!"
"What did you say?!"
......
The star fields surrounding the United Government, the fertile star field, and the administrative main star of the Fengtu affiliated country.
In the palace of the interstellar nobles, the ruler of the fertile star field was sitting on the throne.
Through the 180-degree explosion-proof window that overlooks the entire royal capital, he watched the food of three large commercial transport ships being transported into his private warehouse.
Soon, one of his trusted ministers ran in to report regardless of the guards' obstruction.
Several guards hurriedly grabbed the minister when he rushed to the interstellar noble, and threatened him with a pulse rifle against his chest.
The fat interstellar noble, dressed in ancient aristocratic style, seemed to know what the minister wanted to say.
He waved to his guards and signaled them to retreat.
The guards let go of the minister and retreated to the gate of the palace.
The minister tidied up his clothes that were messed up by the guards, and questioned the interstellar noble sitting on the throne:
"Your Majesty, I heard that you sent people to hijack the commercial transport ship in the Black Rock Star Region, and even killed people. Is this true?"
The interstellar noble smiled and admitted:
"I am so angry about you. Is there something important?
Yes, I sent people to do this.
I just wanted to hijack the ship, not to kill people.
It was just that the employees on the Aocheng Group's spaceship did not cooperate, so my guards took action against them."
The minister heard the interstellar noble admit it, and still had such an indifferent attitude, and his anger in his heart became even worse.
He asked loudly:
"My Lord King, what are you doing?
Don't you know that doing this is a direct declaration of war against the Black Gold Alliance?"
The interstellar noble continued to shake the wine in his hand, and after taking a sip, he said embarrassedly:
"Hehe, it's not as serious as you said.
I just saw that the people in the Black Sand Star Region did not buy our food, but went to a farther star region to buy it, and I was dissatisfied.
Not buying our food, but passing through our star route, of course I have to teach them a lesson.
Besides, I intercepted the spacecraft of the Aocheng Group, and there is no need to escalate to the level of direct conflict with the Black Gold Alliance."
The minister said with great regret:
"My Lord King, this is definitely not alarmist!
Don't you know that the actual controller of the Aocheng Group is now the president of the Black Gold Alliance?!"
