[BL] The Film Emperor's Daily Live Cooking Broadcast

89-Joyous Meeting

He Wei Ye immediately looked up, "What did you say?"

"Supreme Commander, I want to go to the frontline." Ruan Tang once again replied in a firm tone.

"No! Absolutely not! The frontline is too dangerous!" He Wei Ye refused Ruan Tang's request without hesitation. The situation on the frontline had been improving but the emergence of the new type of Zergs made it perilous once again. How could he let a chef who doesn't have any combat ability go to the frontline!

Not to mention, given Ruan Tang's role in the Empire and in this war, staying in the Capital Star was safest for him.

"Supreme Commander, I know you want to use the new mech to change the current situation, but mass production of the new mech takes time. After all, right now, despite working non-stop, we'd only been able to come out with two units. You cannot rely on just these two mechs to face off against the tens of millions of Zergs." Ruan Tang said, "These two mechs may help us catch the new type of Zergs and send them back for study. But transporting it here and then researching it and sending the results back, all this shuffling back and forth takes precious time. This time, the new Zergs are bearing down menacingly. How many soldiers will be sacrificed by wasting this precious time? You also know that I am interested in the Zergs, maybe I can discover something! "

He Wei Ye's index finger tapped against the table, his expression was a little relaxed. What Ruan Tang was saying, was a predicament he'd already been thinking about.

Although communication technology now was well-developed — there was no need to use slow and time-consuming letters like they did during ancient times — but the situation on the battlefield was rapidly ever-changing. There was no way to relay all this in real time. Coupled with the time needed for transporting supplies, and the harassment of the Valens, all these delays were costing precious time.

As commander-in-chief, it was his duty to stand behind the lines and take charge of the overall situation. It was impossible for him to run to the frontline himself. Someone who could provide help to the frontline, had an understanding of the Zergs and could even find ways to restrain the Zergs? Indeed, Ruan Tang was the best candidate.

Thanks to the unremitting efforts of Xia Mi and the Academy of Sciences, they have finally produced two of the improved Zerg-fused mechs. These had strong defenses and could resist the attacks of the Zergs' sharp claws and corrosive fluids. This time, they will be part of the supplies to be delivered to the frontline. But as Ruan Tang pointed out, if they wanted to rely on these two mechs to fight against the tens of millions of Zergs, that would be impossible. Their purpose was indeed to capture the new Zergs and return these to the Academy of Sciences for research to find a way to fight against them.

However, the last time they were able to turn defeat into victory was precisely because Ruan Tang discovered the way to eat Zergs. What if he could also find something this time? It would definitely be faster than transporting the Zergs' bodies back for further research. The harm caused by these new types of flying insects and ground crawlers was too great. The number of casualties they reported every day was truly shocking. They couldn't afford any more delays.

"I promise to stay in the base, safe under the protective barrier. Nothing will happen to me." Ruan Tang said again.

He Wei Ye looked at him and Ruan Tang looked back without any fear. After a while, He Wei Ye conceded and sighed, "Alright. Alright. Then go. Take some of the Zerg researchers with you. I will deploy a team to ensure your safety. "

Ruan Tang originally wanted to decline the protective detail however when he saw the grave expression on He Wei Ye's face, he decided to follow good advice and agreed.
