Chapter 1070: Chapter 305: The Secret Meeting
In the virtual meeting room located in the Fourteenth Legion network.
About twenty people sat around the central round table of the conference, each seat marked with a number, identifying each participant.
When Chen Mingâs picture was fixed on the projection screen next to the conference table.
The initiator or host of the meeting, with the number 1 in front, was the first to speak: "The main purpose of this meeting is to discuss the purpose of Chen Mingâs visit to headquarters and to prepare countermeasures."
"This meetingâs participants are all invited by me, and probably can guess each otherâs identities, but as long as you are careful in speaking, no one will figure out your specific identity."
"So please feel free to speak."
As soon as the host finished speaking, number 2, sitting next to him, immediately said: "Isnât Chen Mingâs purpose already very clear? Itâs definitely related to Bai Quan."
"Bai Quanâs momentum is too strong, even the top has actively asked him to stay at headquarters for further study."
"Chen Ming coming over at this time is definitely because Bai Quan is unwilling to have his momentum suppressed and wants to keep working."
"So the important thing is to figure out a way to deal with Chen Ming and Bai Quanâs alliance."
Number 2 didnât give anyone else a chance to speak and continued to express his opinion: "The connection between Chen Ming and Bai Quan has two parts: their ongoing cooperation and their potential marriage."
"Chen Ming and Bai Quan now have an absolute interest-related relationship, so itâs impossible to find a gap in their cooperation."
"I think attacking the potential marriage is the best move."
"Disrupt the marriage, and there would definitely be a thorn left between Chen Ming and Bai Quan, and we could seize the opportunity to tear open the wound."
Number 2âs figure clenched his fist as if to crush the possibility of a strong alliance between Chen Ming and Bai Quan.
But soon, a somewhat wide figure with the number 9 in front of him said: "Thatâs a bit low."
"Itâs low, then do you have a better insight?"
Challenger number 9 came to life straight away, saying: "I prefer seeking opportunities elsewhere."
"How do you find them?"
"We donât necessarily have to target Chen Ming and Bai Quan directly. They still have a target over in the Gallo region that canât move."
"Chen Ming leaving the division to come to headquarters means another mainstay has been removed back there."
"We can target there."
His words seemed reasonable but couldnât avoid being questioned by others.
Number 6 said, "The division isnât much different from Chen Ming and Bai Quanâs base camp now."
"Ever since Bai Quan carried out a large-scale internal purge under pressure last time, his control over the division is absolute."
"And there is also the effect of Chen Mingâs Spiritual Energy standing there, which has been determined to not just control spaceships but to control all metallic and mechanized structures."
"No one knows exactly how close Chen Ming and Bai Quanâs relationship has become."
"The entire division may already be under Chen Mingâs control."
Number 9, of course, couldnât accept his suggestion being pinpointed as a loophole and immediately retorted, "Even if the entire division is under his control, can his Spiritual Energy reach that far?"
Number 6 directly took out previous examples, saying: "The matter of Cai Mo hasnât even happened long ago, has it? Chen Ming was already able to operate a spaceship in Cai Mo from headquarters, so why canât he control the division from headquarters?"
Number 9 continued to refute: "The distance from Cai Mo to Gallo compared to from headquarters to Gallo isnât small, and in Cai Mo, Chen Mingâs spaceships were all Dusk Spaceships with Dusk cores installed. Not being able to a hundred percent confirm that Chen Ming can control everything."
"This matter canât be answered unless someone directly asks Chen Ming or waits until he takes actual action."
Number 6, knowing he wasnât quite justified, softened his tone and said: "At least consider it a compromise, Chen Ming uses Dusk Spaceships with Dusk cores when operating remotely."
"Then we assume that as long as Chen Ming controls it, he has the ability to know the situation around the controlled spaceship, but to perform control, it can only be done through the Dusk core."
"I think this is a reasonable assumption, right? At least it aligns with Chen Mingâs current performance."
Number 9 didnât continue to press number 9, after all, what number 6 said indeed made some sense.
So instead, he followed number 6âs assumptions and said: "If you think this way, the division over there canât have Dusk cores everywhere."
"With both key figures, Chen Ming and Bai Quan, leaving the division, the defenses will surely be vulnerable, and indeed something could be done over there."
The person next to number 9, number 10, suddenly spoke: "I donât think itâs necessary to stir up trouble by targeting the division."
"Our missions here at headquarters have already been dispatched, the ships have already crossed the Star Gate, and the Beinu Star Realm will inevitably fall into our hands."
"The size of the Beinu Star Realm is not on the same level as that division of Bai Quan that couldnât even occupy a Star Zone."
"As long as we fully occupy Beinu and turn Beinu into a new division for us, the Gallo division will be insignificant."
"By then, that division will instead become a division of Beinu."
Number 9 knocked on the table to interrupt number 10, who wanted to continue: "The Gallo Star Realmâs division holds a geographical advantage."
"The Beinu Star Realm is not the Prosperous Star Realm, lacking development, nor is it the Edge Star Realm, holding a favorable position for external expansion, and canât completely replace Gallo Star Realm, which borders both Dusk and the Mechanical Race."
