Chapter 454 The Backbone of the Country
"Third, the use of smoke bombs, gas bombs, incendiary bombs and other lethal weapons in the city will seriously affect ordinary people. From the data of the civil war, we can know that in a war, on average, a night devil can cause at least The death of nearly [-] civilians is just an ordinary night devil, not the leader-level night devil of the Hardy Group."

"Fourth, as long as the Night Demon enters the territory, there is a risk that the Holy City will fall. If Hardy completely destroys the reaction column or high-energy reactor of the Holy City, it will be difficult for us to recover the Shield of Alifons in a short time. At that time, all The giants can flow unimpeded all the way, swarming in from the border."

"Fifth, although we temporarily intercepted Hadi with an encrypted network, Hadi can still enter from other places, and even sneak all the way to the capital."

"Sixth, Hardy is an extremely intelligent and strategically thinking night demon. If he sneaks in and attacks the research institute or destroys the air force and naval base, then we will lose the final counterattack capability."

"To sum up, the cost of domestic operations is much higher than that of overseas operations."

Cang Ling summed up his speech in one sentence.

"The reasons are good enough. These reasons should be enough to convince Congress. After all, for them, the lives of thousands of knights are far less important than their own property. But these reasons are not enough to convince me." The queen replied, "Because your plan is essentially a big gamble, asking me to put the entire country as a bargaining chip on the table. Although I used to be a gambler, this time is different from all previous situations. Now it is precisely my last When you can't take the risk."

"Your Majesty, please think about it calmly! If we can't wipe out the night demons outside the country, can we do it inside the country?"

"If it can last until the fighter jet comes out, of course it can."

"The problem is that the advent of fighter jets is still far away. It is a big gamble that you place all your hopes on a weapon that you don't know when it will be available." Cang Ling said bluntly.

"The deadline Karakoff gave me was three months."

"What to deliver in three months? One plane or several? Can the factory keep up with the speed of demand? Can the pilot's skills be mastered? And missiles, how many missiles can be produced? An airplane without missiles is no different from a pigeon .Also, the aircraft manufacturing plant and the airport occupy a large area, what if Hardy destroys these places? Once the runway is destroyed, can the aircraft still fly?"

After hearing Cang Ling's questioning, the Queen stopped talking.

"Your Majesty, please trust my judgment. It is definitely after careful consideration that I proposed such a high-risk plan." Cang Ling said in a moderate tone.

"Zero, why are you doing this?" The queen stared into Cang Ling's eyes and asked, "Your plan is indeed the most cost-effective one, but it's not the only way to win. You can choose a safer one that is more beneficial to yourself." Methods."

Cang Ling lowered his eyes, bowed his head in silence for a moment and then replied: "Your Majesty, I am from Keluoto Village. I lost my parents in that catastrophe."

"I know, I'm sorry."

"For you, people may be just a word, or a number on a document. You will not know an ordinary hunter in a remote mountain village, nor will you care how many people the hunter has in his family and what kind of life he lives. But for me, losing them is like losing the whole world."

Speaking of this, Cang Ling's eyes became slightly moist.

"Thousands of orphans were left behind in that battle. In the following decades, they all suffered the pain of losing their loved ones and the loneliness of surviving alone. Those who have never experienced the feeling of helplessness are forever unbelievable."

Cang Ling took a deep breath and held the necklace on his chest: "If I choose to fight in the territory this time, maybe the risk I face will be smaller, but the corresponding result is that the deaths of the people will increase by thousands or even Tens of thousands of times. There will be countless families falling apart, and countless children becoming orphans like me. And I don't want to see these. As a knight, I can not care about my life and future, and have no hesitation with the night The devil will die together, but the people have no such obligation. Their responsibility is to live well and build this country. Sacrifice such things, leave it to us knights!"

"It turns out that you chose the path that is the most unfavorable to you, just to protect the people." The Queen asked softly, "Those people have never met you before, but you are willing to sacrifice your life for them. Why?"

"Your Majesty, I am not as great as you said." Cang Ling smiled embarrassedly, "I said before that the reason why the battlefield is set outside the country is because it has a higher success rate. It is only its purpose to protect the people. Additional results. In fact, I firmly believe that if we are united and single-minded, we can defeat Hadi in the end. But if there is some way to defeat Hadi while minimizing casualties, then why should we Why not choose it? As for the knights, we originally lived to protect this country, as early as the moment we took the oath to join the regiment, we were already mentally prepared to sacrifice."

"It's really right to choose you as the sergeant major." The queen showed a gratified expression on her face, "You, like Karl, are people who never think about themselves."

"Your Majesty, you are flattering me. I'm just fulfilling my duty." Cang Ling replied modestly.

"Well, I'm convinced by you. I'll help you convince Congress." The queen stood up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. This is the complete plan." Cang Ling handed over a thick stack of documents.

The queen took the document, opened it and flipped through it, only to see that the items inside were extremely clear, and each step was explained in detail and analyzed the gains and losses.

"Your writing skills are very good, who taught you?" the queen said appreciatively.

"My former class president: Leon Scott taught me."

"Okay, I have accepted the document, and leave the rest to me!" The Queen handed the document to Dunn, the Secretary of the Interior.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Cang Ling stood up and saluted the Queen.

"Did you know, Zero." When she reached the door, the Queen stopped, "The real enemy is never outside. The people who have always put our country in danger are among ourselves."

After a pause, the queen continued: "Fortunately, there are many people like you in this country. You are the real backbone of the country."

After finishing speaking, before Cang Ling could reply, the Queen turned around and strode away.

It took only two days for the Queen to call through the dedicated line, and only said one sentence on the phone: "Your proposal has been passed."
