73 Chapter seventy three
The two sides who exchanged hostages confronted each other at a safe distance of 200 meters.
Lan Shan and Afar, two people with good eyes, nodded slightly without any trace, and began to look at each other calmly and silently together.
The relationship between the two is now very delicate.
One is Major of the Demosen Star Wars Army; the other is the leader of the star pirate who controls the huge star pirate group, and is a leader of the star pirate who has obviously been involved in the Weiss Federation.
The two sides are completely hostile, but they are bound to be rigorous.
Both sides had no expression on their faces, and Afar was not sure what Lan Shan was thinking. He seemed to have never seen through this niece's thoughts.
This is normal, because he never saw through that person's thoughts. Even though he was recognized by the outside world as a deep-minded, alert and changeable person, he never really saw through his elder brother Arthur Hall.
Although he cannot see through it, it does not affect his admiration and awe of that person. Or it is because he cannot see through that he will become more admiration and awe.
Looking at the figure of Bi Ting who was surrounded by Demosen soldiers two hundred meters away, although there was no expression on her face, it made people feel that she was full of confidence and confidence.
Afar felt a little worried about the situation in front of him. He would not have such a sense of crisis when facing Colonel Ed, the commander of the Second Legion of Demosen on the battlefield of the Margin Star. But he developed it when facing Lan Shan.
At the same time, he was a little glad of gratitude.
Gene replication and inheritance is the most wonderful thing in the world. Even if it cannot bring a person back from the dead, it can still allow this person to leave a shadow in the world, a shadow that can give him comfort.
Because that person did not disappear completely, he could inadvertently see the man's movement, posture, or even aura through another person.
At this time, Afar was even somewhat grateful that his brother Arthur Hall had a whim and fell in love with Mrs. Maggar, the philosophical and shallow woman, and then gave birth to a child with her.
You know, he was very supportive of his brother's fancy to Mrs. Maggar. Even when he was young and beautiful, Mrs. Maggar was still vulgar and short-sighted. He had nothing to do with his brother except a face.
Arthur Hall was dissatisfied with him at that time and told him with a joking smile, "Relax, Afar, this is not worth your effort. She is just a woman, and for me, it's enough to be beautiful."
His attitude was tolerant and jokes about unreasonable children. Afar could not say anything more about it, but he was still very dissatisfied with Mrs. Magnet, so he and Mrs. Magnet were both disgusted with each other and did not like each other.
However, now Afar's attitude has loosened. He felt that he could even thank Mrs. Maggar for Lanshan for bringing a child with Arthur's shadow, even if the child was about to be incompatible with him.
The two sides stood quietly because neither Lan Shan nor Afar spoke first, so it was difficult for those who followed him to speak, so they could only remain silent.
Meryl was impatient. After waiting for a while, she couldn't help but ask Luo An on the side quietly, "What are they doing? Look at me and I look at you?"
Justin, who was escorted by her, moved his lips slightly, but he didn't make a sound.
Seeing that Afar didn't speak for a long time, Lan Shan waved her hand first and signaled Meryl to let Justin Lee go, letting him walk over by himself.
Seeing that Afar was generous and letting Justin go, he also let go of Des and let him walk back by himself.
The exchange process went very smoothly. When Des was surrounded by Roan and Meryl, Justin Lee also returned to his own people.
He was very calm, ashamed and unwilling to accept his prey, and as happy as he was released.
He took the nutrient handed over by a subordinate and drank it two sips, then threw it back to him, walked to Afar and asked, "How is the situation here?"
Afar replied lightly, "It's okay." He asked again, "Is it okay? Don't act so recklessly again in the future. This is the second time you have been arrested, let the people below see you!"
Justin snorted coldly and refused to answer his words. He could claim to be unlucky when he was arrested for the first time, but this time he was arrested, he seriously suspected that someone had a shaman behind his back, and that the person in front of him was the most suspicious.
The Agatha Star Pirates Group has three major leaders, the most prestigious one is Afar, followed by Justin. The third brother chased him too quickly when he wanted to hijack a starship on the edge of the Tianma Galaxy last year, but he was involved in the terrifying Ponthos realm with the other party. Generally, this situation will default to death.
So now there are only two leaders in the Star Pirate Group. The Star Pirate Group has always adhered to the principle of being the strong as respect. Although Justin always despises Afar as a pervert in his heart, he also knows that he is not as good as the other party, so his attitude towards him has always been on the surface and is secretly guarding him. Now that the guardian mind has dominated.
Suddenly he questioned, "Isn't it just about exchanging hostages? Why did you come in person?"
Afarsen glanced at him, "Last time you were caught by that boy named Carter, I went to save him myself."
Justin Lee found out that he had said something he shouldn't have said, and waved his hand like a concealment, shouting loudly, "Let's go, let's go, wait until you get on the battlefield before you look good to these people."
Lan Shan also brought people back, and while walking, he whispered to Gu Han who was following her, "From now on, I send you a formal message to Afar every two hours. You can write whatever content you want, try to write it boringly and vaguely."
Gu Han already understood a little what she wanted to do, and did not ask more questions, just nodded, "I understand."
As soon as a group of people returned to the temporary garrison of Demosen's army at the Jindan Star, they were stopped by a lieutenant with a bad expression. "Major Lanshan, Colonel Ed wants you to see him immediately, please come with me!"
Lan Shan first asked Luo An to take Dace with a dull look to the military clinic for treatment, and then asked the others to rest, and then followed the lieutenant to meet Colonel Ed.
Colonel Ed was walking around very anxiously. When he saw Lan Shan, he asked, "Major Lan Shan, please answer me truthfully. Is it Justin Lee who you used to exchange the captured hostages just now?"
Lan Shan, “That’s right.”
Colonel Ed's face sank and his voice became a little stern, "Major Lanshan, you are hiding important military information! Justin Lee is a person that Major General Grant must catch, you actually deliberately concealed the arrest of him! Just to exchange him for your friend in the military academy! This is a serious violation of discipline!"
Lan Shan calmed down, "It's not like this. The battle line of the Narcissus Galaxy is too long, and the battle situation of the Calendar Star is stalemate, which restrains a large part of our strength. This is very unfavorable to us. My main purpose of sending Justin Lee back is not to replace people, but to recover the Calendar Star as soon as possible."
Colonel Ed looked at her, "What do you say?"
Lan Shan, "That is to say, I sent Justin Lee back for other purposes."
Colonel Ed frowned, "Major Lanshan, you are too arbitrary. The battle situation is urgent now. I will not deal with this matter for the time being, but it will be recorded. After the war, the upper level of the Second Legion will decide what to do. Now I will give you and your team three hours of rest, and then follow our Starship Team to Star 2."
Lan Shan raised her eyebrows, "We are going to evacuate the Jinzhanxing?"
Colonel Ed looked at her unhappy, "Yes, so on the battlefield and you are studying theory in school, imaginary military exercises are two concepts, and private action is absolutely not allowed! The situation in the second star master war zone is tight, Major General Grant has already ordered the abandonment of the Margin Star, and all teams rushed to the second star master war zone immediately. Even if you put Justin Lee back and keep a backup plan, he can turn him into a good chess piece. Now this chess piece is useless! The final result of your doing so is just letting an important war criminal go away!"
Lan Shan was not moved by his reprimand, and said in a moment of contemplation, "Although Qianye Star, Jindan Star, and Linglong Star are in the auxiliary star belt of the Daffodil system, they have important strategic significance. When the Weiss army transports supplies to the front line, they must have passed through this auxiliary star belt, otherwise they will have to circle a lot. We have recovered Qianye Star and Linglong Star, and only the Jindan Star is missing. If we evacuate now, we will fail. The auxiliary star belt cannot form a stable blocking area. Even if the main war zone of the No. 2 achieves a phased victory, it will be very troublesome in the future."
Colonel Ed looked a little more serious, "The reason is that, but the pressure on the battlefield of the No. 2 Star is too high, and it is not possible to send troops to reinforce. To make such a decision, the upper level of the Legion must have made many considerations. What we need to do is not question but obey the order. Major Lanshan, please go back. There are still three hours left. I know that you have been ambushed on Qianye Star. It's very hard. Take the time to take a good rest."
Lan Shan stood still.
Colonel Ed asked her, "You have something to do?"
Lan Shan raised her eyes and looked firm, "Col. Ed, I know to obey the orders above, but what they know is the general situation. They don't understand the specific situation. At this time, we need to make correct judgments to avoid delaying the opportunity to fight. I know that your team has 15,000 people. Please leave me 5,000 people. You can take the main force to the second star first. I will control the Jinzhang Star and then take them to join you."
"You-what did you say?" Colonel Ed felt like he had heard it wrong.
However, Lan Shan repeated clearly, "Please leave me five thousand people. You can take the main force to the second star first. I will control the Jinzhang Star and then take them to join you."
Colonel Ed also knew the young female officer in front of him. It is no exaggeration to say that this should be the most dazzling new star in the Demosen Military Academy in recent years, and also has the ability to command practical combat. He played an important role in the Battle of Nasca II. Even Major General Grant has been compared by her.
Most importantly, she is the youngest member of the core column of the Second Legion! This shows how much importance the Second Legion’s highest commander General Song attaches to her.
But Colonel Ed still thought that Lan Shan’s current demands were too confident and too arrogant, and he almost thought about it and refused, "This is impossible! The other party also has more than 10,000 people, and they are all very tough and good at fighting former star pirates. Our entire team hasn’t even fought for several days. How could you drive them out of the Jinzhan Star with just five thousand people?"
Lan Shan insisted, "Please believe me, it is OK in theory."
Colonel Ed couldn't agree, and his soldiers could not be divided at will, let alone one-third of the force.
At this time, the special identity of the member of the Lanshan core column and her extremely confident attitude played an important role. If she was an ordinary subordinate officer, Colonel Ed could wave his hand and directly order her to go back. Competing with the superior on the battlefield would face extremely severe punishment.
But the direct leader of the core column was General Song. In other words, even if he punished Lan Shan now, Lan Shan could still complain to General Song later. Her attitude was too sure, calm and confident enough to infect others' emotions. Later, Colonel Ed had to take a step back.
Let someone connect to remote communication, "I can't make the decision on this matter, just talk to Major General Grant yourself."
