Chapter 922 Black Gold Alliance Emergency Meeting (Fourth Update)
Just after the United Government spokesperson finished speaking, many reporters’ questions were heard in the live broadcast.
“Is the decision of the special councillors to abandon the edge star field in accordance with the provisions of the convention signed by the member states of the edge star field when they joined the United Government?”
“Is the United Government Army notified the member states of the edge star field in advance when it gave up defending the edge star field?”
“Is the United Government Army prepared to evacuate the residents of the edge star field after shrinking its defense line?
Or did the United Government Army just evacuate unilaterally, leaving the lives of hundreds of billions of people in the edge star field alone and letting them fend for themselves?”
“…”
One after another, sharp questions intertwined, and the scene was suddenly noisy.
The female spokesperson of the United Government’s senior management turned pale when asked.
She seemed to have no intention of answering these people’s questions, and she walked off the podium as if she was escaping.
Many officials of the United Government came up to maintain order on the scene in the live broadcast, but the reporters’ questions still did not stop.
The scene was extremely chaotic.
The comment function of the live broadcast was also closed, and no ordinary netizens could see the barrage.
There were only some AI robots that seemed to have no emotions and logic in their texts.
Liu Cheng's staff saw this and closed the live broadcast. At this time, the atmosphere in the office of the head of the Gariwei Corps was solemn, and everyone was silent.
Although Gariwei had previously guessed the intentions of the top leaders of the United Government through the orders of his superiors.
However, after seeing the news that the top leaders of the United Government publicly announced the abandonment of all marginal star regions, Liu Cheng and others still found it difficult to accept it.
Because this is the same question as the questions asked by reporters at the speech site.
The top leaders of the United Government made such a decision, which violated the terms of the convention signed by these member states when they joined the United Government.
When these member states joined the United Government, they changed from human countries with the same status as the United Government to second-class member states.
As part of the overall country of the United Government, they need to pay a large amount of taxes regularly and obey the orders of the special members of the United Government.
The United Government also has the obligation to protect them from alien creatures.
Now the United Government has unilaterally abandoned all the member states, which is simply ignoring the terms of the treaty they signed.
This has seriously affected the credibility of the United Government in everyone's heart.
Moreover, why didn't the army inform the member states of the marginal star field in advance when they withdrew?
Why didn't they formulate an evacuation plan for the residents of the marginal star field?
Because the special councilors at the top of the United Government were worried that if they informed the member states of the marginal star field in advance, they would definitely encounter great opposition.
Moreover, they would also spend huge financial and material resources to undertake the task of evacuating hundreds of billions of residents in the marginal star field.
The special councilors obviously didn't want to spend this money.
This is no longer a dishonesty, it is simply not treating the lives of hundreds of billions of residents in their marginal star field as human lives!
This is why Liu Cheng and other people in the Black Gold Alliance were angry, and the atmosphere on the scene was so silent and solemn.
Seeing this, Captain Garywei took the initiative to speak:
"No matter what the order from the United Government is, my decision will not change.
My entire 9728th Corps and I will stay to fight with you, the Black Gold Alliance.
We will advance and retreat together with you, the Black Gold Alliance Army, and live and die together."
Liu Cheng nodded, stood up and said:
"I won't say more about thanking you.
Captain Garywei, I have important things to deal with, so I'll take my leave for now."
Garywei understood that Liu Cheng was going to deal with the affairs of the three star regions of the Black Gold Alliance after being abandoned by the United Government.
So he nodded and said:
"Well, go ahead, I understand."
After leaving the Garywei Corps, Liu Cheng and others returned to Black Stone Star.
In the Government Palace, an emergency meeting of the entire Black Gold Alliance was held.
All officials of the Black Gold Alliance, local leaders of the Xingyan Star Region and the Fertile Star Region, executives of various departments of the Aocheng Group, and generals of the Black Gold Alliance Army.
Almost all the important personnel attended the meeting in person or through holographic projection communication, except for those who were in combat and working and could not get away.
The topic of the meeting was very simple, which was to discuss the decision of the top leaders of the United Government to abandon the entire edge star field and withdraw troops, and the subsequent Black Gold Alliance to deal with the Terra Zerg army alone.
This matter was related to the survival of all the people in the Black Gold Alliance, and it was the most critical and important thing they had faced since the establishment of the Black Gold Alliance.
However, to everyone's surprise, Gary Wei, the commander of the 9728th Corps, which belonged to the regular army of the United Government, also attended this meeting.
And Gary Wei sat on the right side of Liu Cheng, closer to the middle than Ryan and others.
This was the result of Gary Wei's initiative to discuss with Liu Cheng before Liu Cheng left the 9728th Corps.
Gary Wei felt that if he attended the meeting, he could give everyone in the Black Gold Alliance a certain amount of confidence.
Let them feel that they were not completely abandoned by human society and fighting alone.
After thinking about it, Liu Cheng agreed to Gary's proposal, so he took Gary back to Black Stone Star.
At the meeting, everyone talked about it.
Although everyone was emotional, they were angry about the United Government's betrayal.
However, in order to discuss an effective response strategy, everyone restrained their emotions.
Therefore, although there were many participants, the speeches were still orderly and the discussion could proceed smoothly.
At the beginning, they were still discussing how to reverse the resolution of the United Government.
Later, they all turned to discussing how their Black Gold Alliance could deal with the attack of the Terra Zerg army alone after losing the support of the United Government.
Everyone prepared for the worst, and proposed a series of strategies that would allow the Black Gold Alliance to survive when all situations such as trade, transportation, military support, and reliance on the star field were unfavorable.
The operation of the social institutions of the Black Gold Alliance was also very efficient.
Almost as soon as a mature political order and military countermeasure were discussed and perfected, it was conveyed and implemented.
The meeting continued, but the entire Black Gold Alliance's war machine was already running at full capacity.
The meeting lasted for more than ten hours, and when it was near the end, everyone was a little mentally exhausted.
Everyone had been thinking seriously and speaking actively in the past ten hours.
Even the powerful superpowers with good strength had some excessive brain power consumption at this time.
Liu Cheng raised the original question again and said:
"We have been discussing the way to deal with the Terra Zerg army for more than ten hours and have come up with hundreds of strategies.
However, we have not yet discussed a suitable strategy to deal with the United Government abandoning the entire outer star field.
Now, have you come up with a feasible solution to the original question?"
