Zhao Yi took a big sip of wine, and his expression seemed particularly serious, more serious than ever.

“That’s not worth mentioning.”

Terrence smiled and waved his hand, saying, "The planet ag64 has no production, and it is unimaginable to hold on the edge without stable logistical support. Besides, you are already a God member, and all of this is what you deserve."

Zhao Yi did not continue drinking. He raised the wine glass, leaned close to his nostrils, slowly smelled the fragrance emitted from it, shook his head, and said slowly: "No, you don't understand. How do you say it... This is not what you imagined."

This sentence obviously means something. Terrence looked up at him, his eyes as sharp as a blade, while Zhao Yi's eyes were like a dark black lake water, and there was no waves.

"I don't want to cheat on you. I don't like god, but I still choose to join. Because... I need those supplies and need assistance."

Zhao Yi's expression was a little painful, and his voice sounded hoarse. He kept playing with the wine glass in his hand, as if using this action to conceal the panic deep in his heart: "You are right, ag64 has nothing. There are only exiled industrial civilians there. There are thousands of people. I don't know if you have ever contacted people on the ore planet. Before that, I never imagined that people... could live in such a harsh environment. They have no food and very few drinks. In order to survive, they... can only kill each other."

Terrence had put down his goblet, crossed his hands and fingers on the table, and looked at Zhao Yi carefully.

The dining table is not big, and the distance between the two is only Mix. Terrence can clearly see that Zhao Yi's black jade-like eyes are filled with extremely complex elements. There is the impulse and fanaticism of young people, the anger and confusion about reality, and the expectation and longing for the future. It is also accompanied by the indifference that is common to the world, and the ferocity and cruelty unique to the superiors.

Terrence is very familiar with this look, because he has had it himself.

He couldn't help but think of Zhao Yi's relevant information——In two months, the young man sitting in front of him was just twenty-one years old.

This is an age full of dreams and hope. It is young, impulsive, passionate, and passionate that no one else can match, and it cannot be compared with a scheming guy.

"I... feel sorry for it, but I do need them."

Zhao Yi ended his "confession" with this sentence.

Terrence glanced at him without objection, then turned his gaze to the bottle next to him. He reached out and picked up the two empty cups.

"You're a very interesting little guy."

The old man drank the wine in his cup, spitting out a faint smell of alcohol, and said, "To be honest, I doubt the authenticity of your words. However, considering your age, the credibility should be at least more than 50%. I don't like to hide around. That's how to deal with politicians. Speaking to soldiers like you, I must be more direct——We all know that ag64 is a barren planet, and I also know very well what industrial civilians make their living.

I have read your file. Going to the planet ag64 as a garrison is the result of your own initiative, not the fate imposed by others and ordered you to accept. You are very smart, have unique insights into many things, and your thinking logic follows the rules. Haha... I don't want to tear off your disguise. Since you have already said this, I also have a very curious question - why did you choose ag64?"

Zhao Yi's eyes trembled slightly. He looked at Terrence in fear. In his eyes surrounded by wrinkles and white eyebrows, there was no tolerance or kindness, only determination and coldness.

He suddenly felt a sense of fear of being seen through all over his body. He also understood clearly: at this time, never lie in front of Terrence. Once exposed, he may not even have a chance to explain and be abandoned by God like garbage.

"I have lived at the S12 base for 18 years. In this world, I'm afraid there are few people like me. I have had this experience of accompanying corpses to live underground. There are dead everywhere, and the decayed breath surrounds around you like a ghost, and it cannot be dispersed. I can see flowers, plants and trees on the computer screen, but I cannot touch the reality through the illusion. Those living people have also described the sunshine, the planet, and the outside world to me. In their words, civilized society is the representative of all beautiful words and the future I yearn for the most."

These words were said sincerely, without any pretentiousness or disguise. With Terrence's experience, it is not difficult to see that this is indeed from Zhao Yi's heart and from the sincerity. For a moment, the old man's thoughts couldn't help but feel a little dazed, and he found some pictures of his youth from the depths of his memory.

"I never thought about becoming a federal hero. I just wanted to live well. However, some people think that I shouldn't have appeared in this world at all... They wanted to kill me, but I didn't want to die. I could only find a place without disputes of interest and far away from the civilized world. This is why I chose ag64 at that time. But I was wrong. It was not the imagined Eden at all, but a place of sin that was darker than hell. I finally understood what those who had lived in the S12 base said to me. It's a pity... I understood it too late."

Terrence looked at him silently, carefully distinguishing the change of every smile on Zhao Yi's face. He wanted to find something that was deceiving and concealing in it, but he found nothing. The young and handsome face was full of the words "honest".

"Dirty and meanness can never be seen from the outside. Only when you really come into contact with it can you feel the truth that cannot be expressed in words."

Terrence poured himself another cup, with a distinct but unprovocative mockery in his words: "The more you know about the world, the more you can understand that the dark part is actually far larger than the area exposed to the sun. God is no exception."

"You are right———"

Zhao Yi cleverly added a respectful word at this time: "God and the planet AG64 have no direct interest relationship, which ensures mutual equality and relatively safe cooperation. Apart from joining, I have no second choice."

"Is that why you want to tell me?"

Terrence raised his slightly drunk eyelids and showed a faint smile.

Zhao Yi nodded calmly: "I originally just wanted to get a safe place to protect me. Of course, joining God to participate in politics means that the current military rank may never have a chance to be promoted again. Since I have paid, I must recover the corresponding benefits. This kind of exchange is good for you and me, but now, what I get is obviously greater than what I pay... I am very frightened and very scared."

The last sentence was the core of the conversation, and also made Terrence have a completely different understanding of the young man in front of him. He sat upright and stared at the other party for nearly half a minute before sighing and smiling, "You are still too young."

Twenty-one years old should not be the age of planning conspiracies. Perhaps, he had never received such a huge amount of aid before, so he seemed panic-afraid. After all, the same wealth represented completely different meanings in the eyes of two age groups of 20 and 50 years old. The former is more impulsive and excited, while the latter appears calm and greedy.

“There’s one thing I have to tell you.”

Zhao Yi held the wine glass tightly with both hands. His speech became quite slow, as if he was brewing how to continue talking.

Terrence's face was already red, and he smiled and encouraged, "Don't be so restrained. Here, you can speak freely."

"I...I...I...I have a group of prisoners in my hands."

Zhao Yi had a very difficult time popping up the remaining words from his mouth: "Mr. Party leader, I have no intention of flattering, but you are indeed one of the most respected people I have ever seen. Those huge amounts of aid supplies are the things that are most needed in the AG64 garrison area. I want them, but I also understand the saying "no reward without merit." I... I have been thinking about it, and I have selfish intentions... Well! I... I mean, just last week, I have discovered and captured a pirate base. There, I found more than 6,000 abducted women, all of whom are federal nobles."

The news was so shocking that Terrence trembled his hands and knocked down the empty wine glass in front of him. Pingyan's face suddenly changed color and he asked urgently: "What did you...what did you say?"

Zhao Yi answered very honestly: "I found 6,000 noble ladies who were kidnapped by pirates. At present, they have been placed in the new George Town on the planet ag64."

"When did this happen?"

Terrence's eyes sternly, he had to verify the time from Zhao Yi first.

"Just last week, the Pirate Base was located in the DG86 Universe, and it was a small piece of meteorite fragment. They hollowed it out to store supplies and imprison important personnel."

Zhao Yi's answer is neither humble nor arrogant, and there is no flaw in the slightest flaw.

"Why don't you report to the military headquarters?"

These words obviously did not let Terrence clear his suspicion: "The abduction of the noble lady has caused a lot of storms, and there are many famous figures in the Federation. You can use these achievements to add a golden star to the badge on your shoulders. Although you have joined God, you are not the commander of the fleet with the heavy power. With Zhou Yiming's relationship, the Federal Military Department will not cause trouble for you on this issue."

After a moment of silence, Zhao Yi said calmly: "I don't believe in those people."

Terrence narrowed his eyes and looked at him in confusion.

"There are too many people staring at the planet AG64. I don't want to lie to you. The benefits of the New Minsk tourist area have reached a very amazing number. I don't know very well how much it is. However, the tax paid by the Torch mining company last month was as much as 3.6 million federal standard currency. This news may soon be known that they can do anything for the sake of money."

Terrence nodded, his stiff face showed no sign of softening: "Continue."

"As you said just now, it is possible to rescue more than 6,000 noble ladies, and you can add a Venus to your shoulders. However, this also means greater danger. Those people do not even let go of the reorganized 81st Division, which has been completely destroyed, and it is even more impossible for me to get all my achievements alone. I have never thought about reporting this to the military headquarters. I just want to imprison the rescued noble ladies and blackmail their relatives in the name of pirates. ag64 needs this money, whether it is food or machinery, it means that it can feed more people."

"Ransomware? In the name of pirates? Are you...you're crazy?"

Even Terrence, who has always been steady, was shocked by Zhao Yi's bold and arrogant idea: "This kind of thing is simply not feasible. Once discovered, you are the public enemy of the Federation."

"I don't want to be deprived of my merits by those people for nothing. Compromise means I'm giving up first——"

Because of drinking, Zhao Yi's face turned red and his eyes widened. He exhaled heavily and said viciously: "When I first arrived at ag64, there was nothing there. From recruiting the first industrial civilians to form an army, to later quarrel with the military department, and getting dilapidated guns from the logistics department, I have consumed too much energy. It was simply an extremely terrible nightmare, not to mention it was to do it again. Even if I think about it occasionally, I feel extremely unreal.

To put it bluntly, even if these women who were rescued returned to the Federation, the military department would still benefit the most. They would use various methods to increase awareness among the people like the media reported me crazy during this period. And what about me... Hahahaha! At most, I received a medal, a few verbal rewards, or... simply transferred from the planet AG64 with a legal and reasonable excuse. Become another more distant and more barren planet garrison officer."

As he said that, he suddenly raised his head, staring at Terrence with bloodshot eyes, and growled in a hoarse voice: "I have thought about it---If those women's families don't plan to take out the money, I will sell them all to slave traders on Quintex planet. Anyway, they were originally the spoils they found from the pirate's nest. Even if they killed all of them, it would be my power------"

"No...this, this is really crazy."

Terrence murmured, shook his head incredibly. The suspicion that originally existed deep in his heart was completely driven away by Zhao Yi's extremely fierce words. He had no choice but to believe Zhao Yi's words———This young man values ​​interests very seriously and sticks to everything that should belong to him. If someone wants to act forcefully, he would rather smash it, than he would do anything.

This is an extremely impulsive guy.

However, because of this, Terrence felt that Zhao Yi was more likely to be controlled by himself. Obviously, he had regarded the planet AG64 as his personal property, as long as he did not touch it, this young brigade general who did not believe in the military department could become the most determined core member of the God party.

"Why tell me about this? Blackmail...you can do more secretly."

This is Terrence's last question.

"Then, that's just a last resort..."

Zhao Yi's nostrils spewed out of his nose, and his eyes became scattered: "Ransession... It is easy to be discovered that the manipulators behind the scenes are related to ag64. They are a big trouble now - I may not get any benefits when I hand them over to the military headquarters. I may not be willing to let them go in vain, and I am not willing to give them up. After thinking about it, the best way to deal with it is to hand them over to you."

"I?"

Terrence felt a trace of trembling across his back: "Why?"

"I've got enough benefits from you."

Zhao Yi tilted his head, opened his drunken eyelids hard, and said vaguely: "Those warships, production equipment, food...their value is far greater than these women. I am very fair--you are good to me, and I know how to repay you. As long as you say something, they...they...they are all yours."

Of course, Zhao Yi would not give up the benefits he had already obtained. He knew very well that the God had already caused Zhou Yiming to question himself, and he would not help him as before. Then again, the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Federal General Staff did not support the defense zone of the AG64 planet. Not only was the number of warships, but the machinery and weapons and equipment were mostly used by the regular army. If it were in the past, Zhao Yi might have been content with the status quo and continued to pretend to be patient and wait. However, the situation has changed now. The total amount of materials needed by the Alpha Galaxy is extremely large, and Zhou Yiming could not have been possible and would definitely not allow another new fleet to be added to the AG64 planet. Compared with the two, the God Party, which has considerable voice in the parliament but urgently needs the support of the military, is naturally the best target of surrender.

If you want to eliminate Terrence's doubts, you must show the radical and impulsive side of the young man. Zhao Yi is very satisfied with his performance, and can at least score 90 points.

Such things cannot be called betrayal or loyalty, they are purely because of interests.

What's more, Zhao Yi has not yet reached 100% recognition of Zhou Yiming. In this world, only the dead survivors in the S12 base are the most trustworthy objects he has no reservations. Those who were once regarded as his parents did not have the three words "Zhou Yiming" on the list of trustworthy personnel.
