Everyone had no objection to Marshal Kong's decision, which not only maintained the credibility of Starfleet, but also achieved its goal.
Fight against the Sand Crocodile, punish the Alabasta Star, and intimidate all forces related to the Bat Star Thieves Alliance.
However, the Gemini Stargate did not respond to General He Zhong's request to go to the Gemini Star Region.
My jaw dropped in shock. What was going on? General Kuzan had rebelled? impossible.
So the Gemini Stargate was destroyed by the Sand Crocodile? This is the only reasonable explanation.
Although it is difficult to imagine that the Sand Crocodile can destroy the Twin Stargates among an army of 500,000, but perhaps some tricks were done in advance.
Lieutenant General He chuckled, "Okay, I'll go through the Water Star Stargate."
Warring States said with concern: "No, you better not go."
Lieutenant General He was grateful in his heart and said lightly, "Don't worry, I'm sorry they don't dare to attack the Star Gate. This is also the rule."
Marshal Kong agreed, "Okay, be careful."
However, no one expected that Lieutenant General He would not be allowed to pass through the Water Star Stargate.
General Zefa was very angry, "Damn it, what are you doing? He's talking bad about us while not letting us solve the problem. What on earth is this idiot Sand Crocodile planning?"
Warring States thought: "Maybe he wants to negotiate with us. You see, he controls the Stargate now. If he destroys the Stargate, our fleet will not be able to come back."
Lieutenant General Karp agreed, "Indeed, if you don't want the battleship, you don't want it, but General Kuzan and the officers and soldiers of our Starfleet, we have to take them back."
"If you want to negotiate, then let people go over." Kizaru Porusalino questioned.
Akainu Sakaski sneered: "The Twin Stargates were originally in Kuzan's hands. Now that he has lost them, he will naturally bear all the consequences."
Marshal Kong called his name, "Crane, what do you think?"
Lieutenant General He chuckled confidently, "Go find Nico Robin and King Wapol of the Drum Star. They will always return to the Twin Stars."
"Okay, I'll go invite her." Lieutenant General Garp said.
"No, Sakaski, go ahead and bring them directly." Marshal Kong said by name. He was worried that Lieutenant General Garp would be soft-hearted.
Nicole Robin and King Wapol must be in a guest house on a planet near the Stargate. If Lieutenant General Garp tried to persuade them, they ignored him and refused to cooperate. Instead, they exposed Lieutenant General Garp's identity in public and said: Lieutenant General Garp was the one who caught them.
At that time, it will make Starfleet even more passive.
It would be better for General Sakaski to use his overlord color and domineering energy to directly restrain the people, and then bring them back without giving them a chance to speak.
"Yes, Marshal." General Sakaski agreed.
…
Half a day later, Starfleet headquarters, reception room.
General Sakaski held the two of them suspended on the ground with a domineering look. After he followed the two of them in, he allowed them to regain their freedom.
King Wapol collapsed directly on the carpet. He was frightened.
Nicole Robin managed to stand, looking at the people around her, and taking her seats one by one with the information about the Sand Crocodile.
Starfleet Marshals Sora and Sengoku, General Zefa, Akainu Sakaski, Kizaru Porusalino, Lieutenant Generals Tsuru, Garp, Dauberman, Momosa Gion, etc.
Nico Robin couldn't help but smile, a contemptuous smile.
Lieutenant General He said: "Your expression is very interesting."
"I met a group of people I wanted to meet for a long time, and then..."
"What?"
Nicole Robin looked around the audience contemptuously, "It's really what I thought, a group of despicable people."
"Do you want to die?"
General Zefa was so angry that he took action immediately. He wanted to grab Nicole Robin's neck and lift her in the air with his domineering aura.
However, Marshal Warring States and Lieutenant General Garp both took action and blocked his attack together.
Lieutenant General Garp's identity is not enough, "I'm sorry, sir, I think we should treat each other with courtesy."
Marshal Warring States reminded: "Our officers and soldiers are still over there in the Twin Stars."
"Yes, I was impulsive." General Zefa saluted the Warring States Marshal, but glared at Lieutenant General Garp. He was obviously blaming Lieutenant General Garp and did not really think that he had done anything wrong.
"Okay, I know you are all for our officers and soldiers, but please calm down." Marshal Kong signaled Lieutenant General He to continue.
"yes."
…
Lieutenant General He laid out the position of Starfleet - to restore stability to the Twin Stars, and the problems encountered - the Stargate cannot be passed.
"Miss Robin, I want to ask you to take me back to the Twin Stars."
"My mission has not been completed, and I don't think you will let me go anymore." Nicole Robin said, "But we have agreed on a time, and I can't go back before that."
The time Nicole Robin mentioned is 13 days in Earth time. Counting from the time Shandai left the Water Planet for Gemini, it is now more than the 6th day.
13 days is the time for the expedition starship to go back and forth between the Water Star Stargate and the Gemini Stargate, leaving one extra day.
"Well, then, I can only ask you to stay in the guest room for a while."
"The cell doesn't matter."
Nicole Robin said indifferently. She was scared to death, but she hated the people in front of her even more.
Her hometown, a living planet, was just gone. If a time had to be added to this resentment, it would be 4 billion years.
…
At the same time, the spies of the Revolutionary Army passed the news to the top officials that General Sakaski had taken action to arrest Nicole Robin and King Wapol.
Miss Kerla from the staff department sent the information to Chief of Staff Sabo, who immediately ordered Monkey D. Long, the leader of the revolutionary army, to come back to discuss countermeasures.
Miss Kella teased: "I thought you would just go in and save people."
"Haha, if that's not Starfleet Headquarters..."
"You really have that in mind!" Miss Kerla fiercely pulled Sabo's face apart to teach this little brother who sometimes acted randomly.
…
About half a day later, the revolutionary army stronghold.
Monkey D. Long read the information, including the information about Nico Robin and King Wapol, and the current situation in Gemini.
"Saab, what do you think?"
"I couldn't make a decision, so I came to you."
"Tell me."
"That's right." Sabo tidied up.
"First of all, this war. The clear part is that Alabasta took 3,000 warships from the Batstar Thieves Alliance in order to transfer the protection fees imposed by Sand Crocodile."
"Then, the Sand Crocodile's home city, Space City, lost contact. It was said to be the fault of the Bat Star Thieves Alliance."
"Starfleet used this as an excuse to send troops to help the Sand Crocs."
"The excuse is because the Bat Star Thieves Alliance only has 3,000 battleships in the Twin Stars, and the pair of sand crocodiles are not a threat at all."
"Instead, there are reinforcements from Starfleet, rumored to be hundreds of thousands."
"I think it's true, because the number of warships hidden by Sand Crocodile is more than 100,000, plus a transformed space city. If the interstellar fleet does not send hundreds of thousands of warships, it will be impossible to suppress it."
Long nodded, "You believe that Star Fleet is taking this opportunity to eliminate the Sand Crocodile's combat power."
Sabo said: "Yes, if the Sand Crocodile is wise and willing to join the Star Fleet, let him live. If he is not wise, kill him and frame it on the Bat."
Long nodded, "Qing Pheasant Kuzan's freezing can be said to be the nemesis of Sand Crocodile. As long as we meet him, Qing Pheasant Kuzan will definitely kill him."
“But it’s the bat that kills the sand crocodile.”
"Huh? You said the Sand Crocodile is dead? Then the one fighting the Star Fleet now is..."
"The Bat Star Thieves Alliance, they killed the Sand Crocodile under the banner of Sand Crocodile."
"Why do you say that?"
…
