106: one hundred and six
General Song was also surprised. However, it was not as exaggerated as Secretary Nawen. After pondering for a while, he said, "Nawen, help me contact General Gauguin of the Third Legion immediately."
The judgment that deprived Lan Shan of the military was not long ago was jointly promoted by the First Legion and the Third Legion. Now, the First Legion has made her return to the military in such a high-profile manner?!
As soon as he finished speaking, General Gauguin's call request was sent first, and he probably had just watched the live news.
General Gauguin in the call light screen took the initiative and looked at General Song with a smile, "It seems that my news is lagging behind. The First Legion and the Second Legion are preparing to cooperate to carry out such an important military operation. I actually didn't know until I watched the Starnet live news."
General Song did not reach any private deal with the First Legion. Naturally, he could not admit this and immediately replied seriously, "General, I think you misunderstood. I just learned about this. The source of the news is the Star Network live broadcast news two minutes ago."
Although General Gauguin also felt that General Song and Prince Lance could not reach any consensus and cooperation in the near future, he still had to question it, "Isn't this the cooperation between the First Legion and the Second Legion and Colonel Lanshan?"
General Song felt that he was asking knowingly, and his expression was even more serious. "General, have you forgotten that Lan Shan was deprived of military status by a trial group composed of members of the Third Legion not long ago. She is no longer affiliated with the Second Legion, nor even the Demosen army, so she is now fully responsible for her actions and has nothing to do with the Second Legion."
General Gauguin smiled well, "The Third Legion Trial Team made the judgment they thought was the most reasonable based on all the reliable evidence provided by the prosecutor, and I can guarantee that." As for what the reasonable standards of these people are of course their final say.
The topic changed, "However, Colonel Lanshan's verdict did not seem to be very accurate. Her academic status and military status were only temporarily sealed in the military star network system, so it is very easy to recover."
General Song said bluntly, "Col. Lanshan is a very outstanding military talent and should not be buried because of a special incident. Besides, the judgment on her is not lifelong, so I will let someone deal with it like this. But I really don't know about this matter. To be honest, I was just going to contact you to ask what's going on."
The high general pondered and knew that he was right. The trial not long ago was just a formality. Its practical significance was that the Second Legion made a statement to the other two legions that they would give up a super mecha warrior in exchange for a balance of the three-party relationship.
Since she has made such a statement, the Second Legion should try to avoid suspicion about Lan Shan in the near future. Such a high-profile move to bring her back to the military is indeed not something General Song should have participated.
While they were talking, Secretary Nawen had efficiently recalled information about Lan Shan on the Military Star Network and said in surprise, "Col. Lan Shan's personal information has been changed!"
A voice came from General Gauguin, "Col. Lanshan's personal information was changed, it was last night!" Hearing the voice was General Gauguin's son Gao Li.
General Song and General Gauguin turned their heads together to see the information about Lan Shan that the people next to them found.
Secretary Nawen has marked the key content, so General Song can see it clearly at a glance. The main changes can be summarized into five points:
1. The previous temporary sealing status has been lifted;
2. After the termination, the verdict was immediately executed, and Lan Shan’s academic qualifications at the Dermosen Military Academy, her military qualifications at the Dermosen Army, and her rank of colonel in the Second Corps;
3. Five minutes after the cancellation, Colonel Neville of the First Legion submitted an application for withdrawal to the relevant departments of the military department, claiming that the report of Lan Shan maliciously concealing military information and disrupting the situation of the war was a misunderstanding;
4. The military department accepted the application overnight as quickly as possible. In the early morning of the next day, the public notice of the invalidity of the previous trial result was issued, and Lan Shan's academic status, military status, and colonel rank were restored. Perhaps in order to do more decent, he even compensated Lan Shan for a mental loss;
5. (This is also the most important point, he was double-focused by Secretary Nawen.) Because Lan Shan's military status was completely cancelled, when he was restored, he was randomly assigned like a recruit who joined the army - he was assigned to the First Legion as a colonel!
After reading it quickly, General Song couldn't help but feel sank and made a new assessment of the subsequent impact of the Elsa Star incident.
Before, they always believed that the First Legion must seize this matter, and even joined forces with the Third Legion to make a big fuss in order to suppress the strength of the Second Legion.
Now it seems that they underestimated Prince Lance's deep mind. There is a deeper purpose hidden behind his actions. Prince Lance's plot is not only to make the Second Legion give up a super mecha warrior, but also to compete with the Second Legion for Lan Shan.
General Gauguin looked at it a little slower. It should be because Gao Li didn’t have the professional level of Secretary Nawen. He just listed the information he just found for his father, but he didn’t expect to summarize the key points in advance.
However, although General Gauguin watched slowly, he did not have the solemn expression of General Song after reading it. He shook his head and sighed like that, "I didn't expect that it was caused by Colonel Neville's misunderstanding. The previous trial was indeed aggrieved Colonel Lanshan, and all her positions were indeed needed to be restored as soon as possible."
The two generals' calls became high-sounding together. Until the call ended, Gao Li had not figured out what the situation was.
He asked in confusion, "Dad, General Song seems to have nothing to do with this matter, but it is a bit too much for the First Legion to come with us on his back. General Song is not a person who will suffer in vain, so he must not just let it go. Shouldn't we go with the Second Legion to find Prince Lance? Why are you just forgetting that?"
General Gauguin blamed him lightly, "Gao Li, it's too simple for you to think about things."
Gao Li was unhappy and directly refuted, "I'm not having any experience, so I want to ask you!" Recently, he and his father have been very harmonious, not afraid at all, and say whatever they think.
General Gauguin then explained, "Although this incident seems to be Prince Lance's action alone on the surface, it actually has a greater impact on Song Shiyu, so he will not give up. So our best choice now is not to question Prince Lance with the Second Legion, but to watch for a while."
Gao Li blinked, "Watch it for a while first-?" Then he understood, "Dad, what you said makes sense. But-"
General Gauguin asked him, "It's just what?"
Gao Li's mind turned to the current situation of the Tianma Galaxy, "How come the Tianma Galaxy suddenly started to make trouble?"
Admiral Gauguin, "It's hard to say, I'm asking someone to investigate. It's not ruled out that Prince Lance sent someone to create this incident as a reason for his attack on the Tianma Galaxy."
Gao Li felt that he was inexperienced again, and he really couldn't understand why Prince Lance had to attack the Tianma Galaxy at this time. He asked in confusion, "The national strength of the Tianma Galaxy is not comparable to that of the Demosen Empire. It has been in a subordinate position for so many years, and their star domain position is close to Prince Lance's sphere of influence. Therefore, the top leaders of the Tianma Galaxy have always obeyed Prince Lance and were extremely obedient. What else can I fight? I beat it in a mess and force it into the territory of Demosen, and the benefits I get may not be more than it is now!"
Admiral Gauguin, "So I can't say it. Prince Lance has always been cautious and meticulous. He should have other purposes if he does this. Let's wait and see. After they control the Tianma Galaxy, what purpose will always be revealed."
Gao Li gave Lan Shan a high evaluation, "Colin Lan Shan is quite powerful, and the Tianma Galaxy is not prepared. I guess she will take the Crimson Fleet over and control the situation within a month."
However, the facts proved that his high evaluation still underestimated the other party's strength.
Half a month after Prince Lance announced the sending of a fleet into the Tianma Galaxy, Lan Shan brought people into the government administration building of the main star of the Clay District of the Tianma Galaxy.
The entire star field in Klee District is temporarily in military control. Although people are in panic, because the takeover is smooth and there is no big conflict, the order is still very stable.
Prince Lance then arrived and found that he had a capable general, so he could feel much more relaxed. Xiaowei sat in the luxurious room prepared for him by Lan Shan. He could not tell at all that he was a person with physical problems, and he was also a noble prince. "No wonder Song Shihe refused to let go. The three-party negotiations were delayed for several months. It would be too worry-free to have you."
Lan Shan smiled, "I care more about efficiency in my work and don't like to procrastinate. This is actually longer than I expected. I originally planned to do it within ten days, but Mr. Fan En, the governor of the Tianma Galaxy, is even more difficult than I thought."
Not only did she lead the Crimson Fleet, she also brought two temporary teams composed of medium-sized starships, and put on a stance to attack in full swing.
Just when the people in the Tianma Galaxy were tremblingly about to accept their fate that they were about to suffer a great war, Lan Shan sent someone to propose a negotiation settlement.
The people from the Tianma Galaxy naturally agreed, and then the two sides started a ten-day negotiation war.
The toughness of the governor of Tianma Galaxy, Mr. Fan En, won the greatest rights for them. Demosen's side was originally planning to completely take over the Klee area of Tianma Galaxy for at least five years. After Governor Fan En refused to propose various other reciprocity clauses in exchange for exchanges, the two sides negotiated for several days, and finally reached an agreement that Demosen's side could barely accept: Demosen's army was in the Klee area of Tianma Galaxy for two years. After two years, the management rights must be returned to the Tianma Galaxy. At the same time, the Klee area opened a duty-free trade road to the Dermosen Empire. In order to promote friendly cooperation between the two sides, the opening time of this trade road was tentatively set to five years.
Lan Shan’s goal in her mind is to control the Klee area for half a year. Half a year is enough to attack Sarahville, but when the conditions are made, she quietly raised it for five years.
Therefore, Governor Fan En finally persuaded them to accept the two-year deadline, and the top leaders of the Tianma Galaxy were almost cheering.
In a sense, this result can also be regarded as a win-win situation.
Prince Lance praised this, "First mention a condition that they cannot accept at all, increase their mental ability, and then make real demands and they will be easily accepted. You know the skills of negotiation."
Thinking of the fierce fleets sent by the First Legion to the Tianma Galaxy, it didn't fight much in the end, so I couldn't help but tease me again, "I also know the skills of scaring people."
Lan Shan, "This will give you the least amount of troops and maximize your interests. I need to preserve the strength of the fleet to deal with Sarahville."
When it comes to Sarahville, Prince Lance looked solemn, "Sarahville is not an ordinary star pirate organization. They are very strong. How confident are you to attack them?"
Lan Shan, "I can't tell you this now, but don't worry, I won't lose against such a small-scale military organization."
Her confidence was very contagious and gave people a sense of reliability. Prince Lance couldn't help but smile and smiled slightly, "Dear, you are so confident! I sometimes wonder, where did your confidence come from?"
Lan Shan, "It comes from my experience. Unless a force majeure incident occurs, in theory, I will definitely win such a small-scale battle."
In fact, her current focus is on how to control Sarahville instead of just defeating it. After all, Prince Lance has something to ask for, not to destroy the other party.
Prince Lance shook his head and smiled, "Dear, although your past achievements have been very impressive, you have only participated in two major battles. Confidence is a good thing, but don't be too proud, as pride often leads to failure."
After saying that, he frowned again, "It's strange. There should be no logical problem for me to say this, but why do I always feel like I shouldn't say that."
Lan Shan was very patient, "Your reminder is very correct here." Look at the time, "I wonder if I have the honor to invite His Royal Highness the Prince to have dinner together?"
Prince Lance, "Of course." Then he found that she seemed to be here to accompany her, and she never left after coming in the afternoon.
Somewhat surprised, "Dear, are you here to accompany me?"
Lan Shan did not answer directly, but said, "I think you must know more about Sarahville than me, so I want to discuss it with you during supper."
As he spoke, he suddenly felt a shock reminder from the personal terminal on his wrist. He looked down and saw that it was sent by Meryl, saying that Secretary Nawen was in a hurry to find her. Because Lan Shan’s terminal was set up with wartime shields, he could only look for Meryl. Meryl asked her how she would reply.
Lan Shan ticked the terminal a few times as if nothing had happened and then raised her head, "I asked someone to prepare a Honey-grilled Doubletail from the Pegasus Galaxy, as well as a bitter fern salad and local sweet wine."
…………
On the other hand, Meryl said to Gu Han with a serious expression after receiving Lan Shan’s reply, “I used to think Lan Shan’s style was radical—of course she had the qualifications to be radical, but now I find that she is actually the safest person.”
Gu Han asked, "Why do you say that?"
Meryl swayed at him and blinked again, "Because she left some room for herself and asked Secretary Nawen to make an appointment with me tomorrow morning."
Gu Han fully agreed with Lan Shan's approach, "Meryl, even if she is going to fight the most confident battle, she will consider in advance what to do if she fails before leaving. The general is the most qualified one! It is no exaggeration to say that only such a person can be invincible for a long time!"
Meryl disliked him, "Don't tell me these big truths, I'm praising Lanshan!"
