"Ling Xiao!" The Third Marshal turned stern. He shouted, "Be mindful of your attitude!"

"What attitude do you want? Our soldiers have not given up hope and are fighting hard with the belief that their country will come and save them soon. However, we just sat here on our nice chairs and decided that it is not worth saving them?" Ling Xiao stood up suddenly and shouted angrily, "Marshal Yang, let me ask you, what attitude should I have when I talk to you?"

"Ling Xiao, do you think that I'm willing to abandon the lives of 280 million soldiers?" The Third Marshal slammed his table with his hands and stood up. "I'm the Third Marshal of the Huaxia Federation. I am responsible for not only for the lives of the 280 million soldiers on Planet Haijiao, but I'm also responsible for the lives of everyone in the Federation too."

The atmosphere of the conference turned tense. The viewing reporters couldn't help but hold their breaths.

The Third Marshal took the documents on the table and slammed them down. They landed on the floor with a loud thud. "Hundreds of spies sacrificed their lives in order to get into the intelligence bureau of Hailiya. They gave us the most accurate information they could on Planet Haijiao. They risked their lives to send out these pieces of intel. Why did they do it? They don't want any more soldiers to die needlessly on Planet Haijiao. Are you going to put millions of soldiers in danger just for your selfish desires?"

"My selfish desires? If it is up to my selfish desires, I would rather be fighting in wars instead of sitting in this high position. I'll rather be a passionate soldier with emotions rather than sit here and play with the soldiers' life as though they are chess pieces or just numbers. I'm not willing to be a cold-blooded politician!" Ling Xiao looked at the Third Marshal angrily and refuted, showing no signs of backing out. This was his true thoughts. Even if Ling Lan wasn't on Planet Haijiao, he still would not agree with this suggestion. There was no such thing as giving up in his dictionary.

When he said this, the young and hot-blooded reporters in the conference hall clapped enthusiastically in response to Ling Xiao's speech. If what the Third Marshal said was true, his decision would be saving the lives of millions of soldiers. But, deep down inside their hearts, they still had some hope. They knew that there were still soldiers fighting hard on Planet Haijiao now so they wished that a miracle would occur. If they gave up on the 280 million soldiers before everything was settled, it would be just too cold-blooded.

"Ling Xiao!" The Third Marshal pointed at Ling Xiao angrily. He almost fainted from his anger. Ling Xiao just wanted to save his son but he made it sound so righteous. He pretended to be a good man while picturing them as villains. How despicable of him.

"Marshal Yang, just like what was written on the document, 99% of the bases on Planet Haijiao had fallen. However, there are still 1% of the bases fighting. They are still waiting for reinforcements from the Federation. We mustn't give up on them even if there is only a little hope left. We can't betray those soldiers that are fighting hard for the Federation," Ling Xiao said.

"Ling Xiao, wake up!" The Third Marshal slammed his hands on the table and shouted in anger, "Do you think that those broken bases will be able to resist our Hailiya's attack for at least three months? If Hailiya took over the ownership of Planet Haijiao before our reinforcements arrive, our reinforcements will be regarded as invaders. Hailiya will then have the right to use their ultimate weapons like their god-class operators to literally massacre our reinforcements. You are a god-class operator, so you should know how powerful god-class operators are. Once such people appear on the opposite side of us, all our 100 fleets will be destroyed. Even if we send 50 times more manpower over, they will still be killed like chicken."
