Chapter 414: Forced Peace

Turning off the communication with Tang Xiao, Canidi sat on the ground in a collapsed state, leaning against the wall, drinking heavily.

He understood that this conflict was inevitable.

But...

The memory that was deeply engraved in his mind, even after the long hibernation cannot be erased, echoed in his ears again...

"General Canidi! The agents of the Empire raided our Space Station and planted Bombs in residential areas! They demand that you withdraw your Troops immediately and stop attacking the Fortress!"

"No! I am a Soldier! The mission entrusted to me by my motherland is to capture the Fortress and open the door to the heart of the Empire!"

"General! Your wife and daughter are inside the Space Station! Imperial Agents kidnapped them and hung them in the square!"

"...If I withdraw my Troops here, what is the meaning of the deaths of the tens of thousands of Soldiers who died in this battle before? The whole Army obeys orders! Attack! Attack! Attack with all your strength!!!"

"...General! Stop fighting! The Imperial Agents of the Empire are torturing your wife and daughter! They claim that for every Soldier who dies in the fortress, they will cut off a piece of flesh from them!!"

"Tell them, I am sorry for them! I am a bastard! I am a fucking bastard!! Once the Fortress is captured, I will apologize with death!! Tell the whole Army to continue attacking!"

"General... stop. The President of the Federation personally ordered the entire Army to stop attacking. We... have negotiated peace with the Empire..."

"Bastard! Talk about peace now, where do we put the tens of thousands of soldiers who died in battle!! No matter! Keep fighting!!"

"General! The news of the peace talks has been notified to the entire Army, and some Troops have already begun to retreat..."

[Good news! After five years of war between the Federation and the Empire, the two sides finally reached a consensus. The conflict between the people of the Federation and the Empire is not irreconcilable. In the days to come, we will jointly build a civilized and harmonious world...]

"Here, in my capacity as the President of the Federation, I confer on you the highest level of merit. If it weren't for your brave fighting and putting enough pressure on the Empire in the Fortress, the peace talks would not have been facilitated. You are the War Hero of our Federation!"

"...Fuck your War Hero!!" Smack!! "Ah! How dare he hit the President! Catch him!"

"I, Canidi, am a Veteran General who survived the war! I will fight for the rights we Veterans deserve! The Federation can't hide like this! We will organize a parade! We will go directly to the Presidential Palace for a demonstration!"

"Volgograd Canidi, you beat the President in public and tried to gather people to rebel! Your crime should have been sentenced to life imprisonment, but because you were once a War Hero, you are now transferred to serve as the Logistics Director of this Mine, live the rest of your life here."

"You have become a stain on our Federation! All your deeds will be deleted, and from now on, you will never exist in the history of the Federation. From the beginning, you were just the Logistics Director of a Mine ."

"General Canidi!"

"General Canidi!"

"Sir! Sir!"

Volgograd Canidi opened his eyes suddenly and found himself lying in the communication room with an empty wine bottle beside him, and his Adjutant was shaking his shoulders anxiously, "Sir! Sir!"

"What... what's wrong?" Canidi rubbed his swollen temples, "How long have I been asleep?"

"Four hours have passed since the Ayrou issued an ultimatum to us!" The Adjutant said, "We always thought you were negotiating with the Ayrou here, and it took a long time before we felt something was wrong, so we came in to see..."

"I actually slept for 4 hours... bastard..." Canidi staggered and wanted to stand up, but his feet slipped and almost fell again. The Adjutant quickly helped him.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his head, "Wait a minute, what did you just say? What ultimatum?"

"4 hours ago, the Ayrou issued an ultimatum to us! We are required to withdraw all spaceships within 48 standard hours. Otherwise, let the Governor of Planet Dawn explain to them in person." The Adjutant said eagerly.

"That bastard Tang Xiao will never take care of this matter! If this matter gets to him, he will only send a Fleet over...to make things worse..." Canidi said, clutching his forehead.

"But the Ayrou are so aggressive, I'm afraid they don't intend to be kind." The Adjutant said a little excitedly: "If they want war, then give them war!"

Canidi suddenly became angry like a lion. He grabbed the Adjutant by the collar and roared loudly: "Do you think that fighting is playing a game? Do you think fighting is playing tricks?! You are counting in the office behind every dead figure, there is a distraught mother, a sad wife, and a lonely child! How much do you know!!!"

The Adjutant didn't know the courage he took, he also yelled at Canidi: "We are the Fourth Natural Disaster!! Our ancestors have gone through Three Natural Disasters and Wars to get to today! Why should we be afraid of war? We should embrace War! Enjoy War! Grow and become stronger in War!!"

"If you have the ability, go to the front with a Gun on your shoulders! Go and witness death! Go and witness what a real War is!!"

"If there is a chance, I will go! As long as you have a word!" The Adjutant calmed down after shouting this sentence, he stepped back and gave a Military Salute, and said: "Although it is presumptuous, this is indeed my idea, sir."

After speaking, he turned and left the communication room.

Volgograd Canidi shook, leaned on the wall and walked out, muttering: "No! You can't start a War like this..."

He came to the office and said to the Adjutant who was already waiting there one step earlier: "Order the entire Colony to exercise restraint! No matter what, you must not conflict with the Ayrou!"

"But sir! The Ayrou have already messed with us!"

"Did they shoot? No, then restrain me! Do you hear me?" Canidi said.

"Sir, I don't think this is the right decision." The Adjutant looked worried.

Canidi walked up to the Adjutant, put his bearded face close to the tip of his nose, and said fiercely: "Listen! Before Tang Xiao replaces me, I am the highest Commanding Officer here! So, my decision, you obey!"

Canidi's decision was quickly conveyed to the entire colony of Pointe-Noire, and almost every member of the Pioneer Group cursed after hearing this decision. But they can't help it. Canidi is indeed the highest Officer here. Before someone with a higher status on Planet Dawn speaks, his words are orders.
