Capítulo 960: Chapter 733: Are You Serious?
Ruan Xiongfei’s enigmatic smile definitely put some pressure on the young major opposite him, but after thinking it over, he raised his head to meet Ruan Xiongfei’s gaze.
The young officer spoke earnestly to Ruan Xiongfei:
“Captain Ruan, we need to communicate with your students. We hope you can represent us…”
“Hold it, I’m not here to listen to your nonsense, let’s change the topic.”
Bald Ruan looked askance at the young major, who exuded a sense of justice and heroism, and raised his chin, “Like, have a few brainless idiots come to your side recently?”
Huh?
The major looked at the bald man who wasn’t playing by the rules in front of him, anger rising in his eyes, but in the end he remained silent and yielded.
He did not dare defy this demon-like bald man standing before him.
The powerful aura could be distinctly felt, even through the screen.
So much so that the Vice Admiral silently watched as the smart-alecky colonel from the War Department was unceremoniously thrown out of the command room.
This moment perfectly illustrated the infiltration of nobility into the military.
Before the major arrived, his immediate superior, Colonel Kim, specifically advised him, “Just don’t upset that bald man. In the end, we don’t need to kill, we can agree on whatever can be agreed upon.”
With a mind still in chaos, the young major fuzzily walked out of the command post.
A negotiation that discredits the Federation military’s dignity can’t be handled by senior officials themselves, but a major of not-so-high rank is the best choice.
The young major stood up straight, looking at his comrades around him, who were casting worried glances in his direction. “Captain Ruan, indeed some individuals have been expelled from the command hall by Vice Admiral Wilcox. I’m sure the Vice Admiral will be pursuing related accountability, regarding the truth of this matter you can verify with the Military Department.”
“Hahaha, can I not trust you?” Ruan Xiongfei laughed heartily while stroking his bald head.
But his posture left everyone present in a speechless silence.
If this veteran wanted to compete in terms of being a rogue, he’d rank first among them all.
“If Captain Ruan doesn’t want to come forward, then the Military Department hopes to find a way to communicate with the Thunderhawk’s pilot.” The major reconsidered his mission and suppressed the urge to swear as he bowed his head again to ask.
“Communicate? Is there any need for communication? Someone tried to kill my disciple but he got away, now he wants revenge, what needs to be communicated about this?”
“The military leaders are wondering if there might be some misunderstanding in this…”
“Misunderstanding my ass, my disciple’s life was almost gone, misunderstanding my foot.” Ruan Xiongfei cursed bluntly.
This time, the officers behind Major Lair couldn’t help but grip their guns tightly.
However, Bald Ruan merely glanced up seemingly absentmindedly at the imposing Flying Dragon and smiled.
The officers then forced themselves to unclench their hands, the atmosphere was painfully tense.
Ruan Xiongfei’s outright refusal left everyone helpless.
The trainees of Ding Chuan gaze at Ruan Xiongfei’s majestic back with fervor, even though many hadn’t been personally taught by this bald man.
Yet, everything this man did and said, was genuinely resonating with everyone present.
The young major bowed his head once more!
“Regardless of any misunderstanding, please inform us of a means of communication so we can directly call your disciple, perhaps what he says isn’t what we’re discussing now. The Military Department has only this one request, hoping Captain Ruan can…support it.”
As Major Lair spoke, the body of Pedy Hansen lay ahead of the Fiery Fire Tank, eyes wide with bitterness, yet no one dared to move him.
The stark contrast was an unmistakable mockery of the Military Department, under everyone’s watchful eyes.
Yet the parties involved dared not utter a single objection.
Because the power behind that bald man seemed to overshadow even the military authority of Blue Capital Star!
Hearing the major’s request, Ruan Bald Head’s face showed an unusual expression.
It was a look that seemed odd, wanting to laugh, wanting to hide it but also too lazy to do so.
If the Military Department and that punk communicated, Ruan himself wouldn’t believe the result wouldn’t be brilliant.
He was honestly curious about what terms the Military might use to address his beloved disciple.
And so Major Lair’s face matched Ruan Xiongfei’s expression with an exceptionally…ugly look.
Finally, Ruan Xiongfei earnestly patted the other’s shoulder, like an experienced senior encouraging a junior.
“You really want to communicate with Thunderhawk?”
“Yes, and please trust us that we absolutely won’t launch any reckless attacks on Thunderhawk.”
Ruan Xiongfei scoffed, “You really want to attack, tell me, can you manage?”
“Sir!” The major’s face flushed bright red.
“I’m sorry, I wasn’t targeting you, I meant all of you.” The officers behind the major were inwardly cursing, fearing they’ll lose control and shoot, even if it meant dying just to take a shot at that guy.
“Alright, alright, you lot who’ve never seen blood and fire, can’t even take a joke. If you want to know so much, I’ll tell you, you can pass it back verbatim.”
Ruan Xiongfei stared intently at the voice recorder on the other’s collar.
“Please, Captain Ruan, enlighten us!”
Ruan Xiongfei patted the major’s shoulder, speaking in a long, distant tone: “Thunderhawk’s Defensive Field Barrier can be easily broken by a battleship’s main cannon above level seven or an S-class mecha, but you probably can’t do that…so, there’s only one way left to communicate with Thunderhawk.”
“What way?”
“Know how to hold a banner? The kind of old-fashioned welcome message, the simpler, the better. Thunderhawk doesn’t block low-level stuff.”
Ruan Xiongfei said this answer, which concerned the military deeply, with a look on his face like he was doing it for their own good.
The major’s breath was hot through his nostrils at this moment, his fists shaking loudly, his body trembling.
“Captain Ruan, are you sure you’re serious?”
“Nonsense, would I have babbled with you for so long if I wasn’t serious? Thunderhawk’s ‘Heaven and Earth Cage’ doesn’t block sight, you just need to use the most exaggerated gesture to get its attention, then display your message, and I believe it’ll grant you a route for communication. After all, we are all Federation soldiers!”
Ruan Xiongfei squinted, seemingly reminiscing about the glorious past.
“Is there no other way?”
“No other way.”
The bald man spread his hands, a look of helplessness on his face.
“Alright, thank you, Captain Ruan, for your cooperation.”
This seemingly ridiculous answer was surprisingly approved by the troops.
A group of soldiers who had just rushed from headquarters now retreated five hundred meters away, suppressing their full frustration and resentment, and began to report back the acquired information.
But this report was split into two parts.
The first part, by narrating, described what happened here and Ruan Xiongfei’s behavior, without focusing on explaining Ruan Xiongfei’s scheme.
The second part was directly fed back to the government side, as granted by the Federation Constitution’s clause on government’s right to be informed during emergencies, with Major Lair stressing Ruan Xiongfei’s words in his relay.
On the other end of the Sky Communication, hearing this absurd answer, there was a long silence…
Then a ghostly voice arrived, carrying boundless rage and resentment.
