The Tiberians' ultimatum was like a fatal cold arrow, hitting the hearts of every military representative in the command hall. Their hearts were bleeding and their spirits were on the verge of collapse.
If there is no response or refusal, after 2 hours and 120 minutes, all people on earth, including them, will become the target of indiscriminate attacks by the Tiberians, including of course their relatives.
The cruel fact made the atmosphere in the command hall suddenly become tense. It was as quiet as suffocation. Everyone was like naked fish on the shore, helpless and hesitant...
Now, there are only two options left for people on earth, one is to reject it; the other is to accept it completely.
Rejection means all-out war, but this is an extremely asymmetrical interstellar war. Facing an alien civilization that is several orders of magnitude higher than Earth's civilization, humans are like a group of primitive people holding sticks.
Although the people on earth possess a weapon that can be called a major killer - nuclear bombs, the number of nuclear bombs used to break through the biological protection barrier on the Tiberian interstellar battleships is simply astonishing!
People on Earth cannot produce such a large number of nuclear bombs in a short period of time. Even if they could, they would not risk destroying the Earth just by breaking through its biological protection barriers, let alone destroying them.
Then we can only take the second path, which is to fully accept the three conditions issued by the Tiberians. These are three very harsh conditions. It is impossible for all billions of people on earth to enter interstellar space.
Even if all the people on earth can be brought into interstellar space, the universe is so big, where can humans go?
From now on, human beings without goals will become a race wandering in the universe.
Perhaps human civilization will come to an end before a suitable habitable planet is found.
Both roads seem to be dead ends, but compared to the first real dead end, if you choose the second road, there may be a glimmer of hope for mankind.
But the second path is full of unknowns.
"We cannot choose the second path! Humanity cannot become a wandering race!" Wellington said angrily. He clenched his hands and shouted loudly, "We must fight to the end, even if only the last person is left!"
"But we are no match for the Tiberians! The warning attack has already cost us a heavy price. If they launch a full-scale war again, how can we fight against them?" A military representative said worriedly.
Wellington's eyes were on fire, and he roared: "I said before, detonate all our nuclear bombs in the atmosphere, turn the earth into a Death Star full of nuclear radiation and radioactive dust, and let the Tiberians retreat in spite of the difficulties! Only in this way can we Save the Earth!”
"What does such an earth mean to human beings?" Francois said tit for tat. He stood up with a bang, "Although we can hide in the underground city, the earth's ecosystem and environment will be destroyed. !”
His hands trembled with excitement, and he said righteously: "How long can humans survive without the support of the ecosystem?"
"Then sacrifice our generation, leave the best resources to our next generation, and let them hide in the underground city to tide over the difficulties until the day when the nuclear radiation and radioactive dust disappear!" a military representative said passionately .
"Nuclear radiation and radioactive dust were diluted until they disappeared for hundreds of years!" Liu Hanyang stood up and said.
After looking around at everyone, he continued, "Even if our descendants are lucky enough to survive until that day, once the ecosystem is destroyed, it cannot be repaired in a short period of time. It will take at least hundreds of millions of years to restore it to its current level. !”
He paused, his eyes full of sadness: "Excuse me, how will our descendants survive?"
"Future generations have the wisdom of future generations. What we have to do now is to leave the earth to future generations!" Wellington roared.
Wellington's words were like a raging fire, quickly igniting everyone's emotions and hopes. They raised their hands and shouted in support of his views.
In the command hall, only Liu Hanyang, Miyazawa and his party, Francois, Androv and a few military representatives had solemn expressions. They looked at the people who were falling into madness quietly with gloomy eyes.

"Then, now I ask you to vote whether to detonate all nuclear bombs in the atmosphere!" Wellington shouted loudly.
"Detonate!"
"agree!"
Many military representatives raised their hands, and the command hall fell into madness.
Liu Hanyang's face became more solemn. He looked at Miyazawa and his party next to him, and saw that there was no trace of anxiety on his cold face. Instead, he looked like he was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.
Perhaps seeing Liu Hanyang's worried eyes, Miyazawa and his party shook their heads at him, and then looked at the noisy hall as if nothing had happened.
"The current number of votes is 66 in favor and 12 against, and the resolution was passed unanimously!"
After Wellington finished speaking, he looked at the commander, and then said in a commanding tone: "Broadcast to the world immediately, everyone must evacuate to the nearest underground city within 60 minutes!"
He looked at the weapons officer again and ordered: "Immediately issue an order to all road-based, sea-based and space-based missile units and weapons platforms. After 60 minutes, drop all missiles above the surface at an altitude of about 500 meters above sea level. Nuclear bomb!”
The weapons officer's face twitched violently. He knew very well what it meant to detonate such a large number of nuclear bombs at an altitude of 500 meters.
After a brief hesitation, he issued the order with trembling hands.
Wellington let out a long breath of relief. He leaned upward and slowly closed his eyes.
After a slight adjustment, he faced everyone and his tone was much calmer: "Everyone, you can now evacuate to the nearest underground city one after another to avoid the upcoming nuclear explosion. Here, I and the Supreme Military Executive Committee of the Crisis Planning Agency will Several responsible persons, carry out the final mission!"
The military representatives stared at him and several leaders in silence, and then collectively saluted a standard military salute.
After the ceremony, everyone began to evacuate the command hall in an orderly manner.
"Everyone, wait a minute. Please allow me to say a few words!" A voice sounded loudly in the command hall.
Everyone looked around and saw that the person speaking was none other than Miyazawa and his party.
He stood up and faced the people who were watching: "According to the military charter of the Supreme Military Executive Committee of the Crisis Planning Agency, Article 3 and Section 29: No one may use mass destruction for any purpose or under any excuse. Sexual weapons attack the Earth, Mars colonies and all human facilities in the solar system; otherwise, they will be transferred to a military court for the crime of threatening human security."
The military representatives froze on the spot. After a brief thought, they seemed to remember this rule, and their eyes shot toward Wellington like lightning.
"I'm done."
After Miyazawa finished speaking, he sat down upright.
His words were like a thunderbolt that shook the entire command hall. The military representatives started talking one after another. After a brief noise, they became quiet.
Everyone knows that the charter formulated by the Supreme Military Executive Committee of the Crisis Plan was unanimously voted by all their member states, which represents the interests and will of their member states.
This is a special law. Since the arrival of the Tiberians and the Dark Body people on the earth, humans have formulated this wartime law in order to unite their external relations and prevent mutual suspicion and internal strife.
The purpose is to mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized on the earth to unite and jointly resist the invasion of alien civilization.
Its authority cannot be questioned or challenged.
"Hahaha..." Wellington laughed wildly. His laughter was like a roaring lion, shrill and chilling.
After laughing, he looked at everyone with a cold face and sharp eyes, like a tiger.
Everyone was shocked by his crazy look and fierce eyes, and they all avoided looking at him.
"The order was issued by me and has nothing to do with you." Wellington said in a fearless tone after looking around at everyone.
Everyone looked at him in astonishment, and some military representatives breathed a long sigh of relief. They were well aware of the deterrent effect of this wartime decree. The reason why Wellington was able to successfully issue the order just now had to do with their support.

are inseparable.
Wellington took the responsibility on his own initiative, which shocked the military representatives. Their eyes showed mixed emotions of admiration and concern.
Wellington sneered, then set his sights on Miyazawa and his party, and said unhurriedly: "As the director-general of the Crisis Planning Agency and a member of the Supreme Military Executive Committee, I have the right to issue orders! On this point, Deputy Miyazawa The Chief of General Staff has no objections, right?"
"No!" Miyazawa and his party shook their heads.
"So, now that the order to detonate all nuclear bombs in the atmosphere has been issued, does it have unchallengeable authority?"
"Yes!"
"Very good! As long as the nuclear bomb can be detonated smoothly, I am willing to go to a military court!" Wellington said with a smile. After a moment, he turned his eyes to the military police next to him and said in a commanding tone, "Military police, please execute the order!"
The military policeman hesitated for a while and looked at Heydrich. At this moment, as the chief of staff of the Supreme Military Executive Committee of the Crisis Planning Agency, apart from Wellington, who was about to become a prisoner, he was the most authoritative person in the command hall.
But that wartime decree was a deterrent that could not be provoked, and he had no choice but to strictly enforce it.
"Military police, arrest Vice Admiral Charlie Wellington immediately!"
Heydrich's words faded, and two military policemen immediately stepped forward. A pair of shiny handcuffs were cuffed on Wellington's hands, and he was escorted out of the command hall.
According to the charter of the Crisis Agency, Heydrich will be promoted to director-general, while Miyazawa and his colleagues will be promoted to the chief of staff of the Supreme Military Executive Committee of the Crisis Agency.
Miyazawa and his party stood in front of the military representatives. He stared at the big screen. At this moment, there was only the last 1 hour and 29 minutes left before the reply time specified by the Taibo people.
"Everyone, if we do not violate the charter of the Supreme Military Executive Committee of the Crisis Plan, we can not destroy the ecological environment of the earth, that is, we do not need to detonate all nuclear bombs in the atmosphere, but we can also ensure that we humans can successfully stay in the solar system. , are you willing to suspend the order?"
"Of course!" the military representatives replied in unison.
"Okay! I will connect to the Supreme Commander of the Tiberians now!"
Miyazawa and his party glanced at the liaison officer, and as a bright light flashed on the big screen, the figure of the Supreme Commander of the Taibo Stars appeared on the big screen.
"Have you agreed to our three conditions? Earthlings." The commander said arrogantly.
"On the contrary, we formally reject the three conditions you issued!" Miyazawa and his party said calmly.
The commander's face immediately stiffened, he sneered, and then said lightly: "See you on the battlefield then!"
"We Earthlings are looking forward to seeing you on the battlefield, but I want to remind the supreme commander that we will launch all of our nuclear bombs, a total of more than 90,000, into the Earth's atmosphere."
The words of Miyazawa and his entourage made the expression of the supreme commander of the Tiber Stars immediately turn gloomy. He knew very well what this meant?
"Unless the supreme commander agrees to have peace talks with us Earthlings, of course, our two major races can share the Earth, but the bottom line we stick to is that Earthlings must stay on the Earth and the solar system. Otherwise, what you will get is a world full of nuclear weapons. A Death Star of radiation and fallout!”
The supreme commander lowered his head and pondered for a while. After exchanging opinions with several Tabor people next to him, he nodded towards Miyazawa and his party.
The Tiberian people on the big screen disappeared, and Miyazawa and his team breathed a long sigh of relief. He was relieved.
After a moment, he turned his eyes to the military representatives of each member state and said solemnly: "According to the military charter of the Supreme Military Executive Committee of the Crisis Programme, when the military charter faces the threat of being destroyed, the military charter of the Supreme Military Executive Committee of the Crisis Programme Authority will automatically be transferred to the Secretary-General of the United Nations."
The words of Miyazawa and his party caused the military representatives of all member states to cancel his order to launch nuclear bombs into the earth's atmosphere.
But they understand that this is just a bargaining chip to force the Tiberians to negotiate.
