Chapter 452 Recruitment Success~
“Mr. Amber, are you sure we both want to attend this meeting?”
Ten minutes before the start of the remote meeting, together with Van Fleet Guterres, who was sitting on the left side of Amber, asked with some uncertainty.
Although he had just fought side by side with everyone in Atlas and achieved a hearty victory, the former Vice Admiral still had a very clear understanding of his identity and current situation.
He is not like the 'muscular' Van Fleet next to him, who has subconsciously regarded himself as a member of the Atlas Group, but still carefully handles the relationship between himself and The relationship between Atlas.
Especially before the A. Bawa Ku defense battle, Guterres became even more entangled after having an honest communication with Amber and learning his true identity.
After all, from a certain perspective, I indirectly or directly created two ‘life-threatening’ crises for Amber.
Although the order to attack Robert IV with a proton annihilation bomb came from a secret message from Marshal Trafalgar, it was indeed himself who gave the final order to launch the proton annihilation bomb.
As for the fleet battle in the orbit of Para 4, although the fleet under his command was unilaterally crushed tactically, this could not hide the fact that he initially planned to lead the fleet to orbit Atlas. The plan to destroy Sri Lanka's fleet
So Guterres always felt that Amber would send people to rescue himself and his family when his pub was attacked by the armed forces of the military-industrial complex. This is a fantasy, which has also led to Guterres never thinking about the possibility of joining the Atlas Group.
But looking at the situation now, Amber seemed to really intend to let him join Atlas 'regardless of past grudges'. Only then did the former vice-admiral once again ask the question just now.
On Amber's side, it seemed that Guterres would ask such a question, so he said without thinking for too long:
"Yes, two The general also participated in the defense of A. Bawa Kubo Fortress before, and he did not slack off at all in the battle. I don’t think it is inappropriate to come to the meeting now, right?”
“But the previous one? Those battles."
"Don't worry that I will attack you because of this, General Guterres, of course, and the same goes for you, General Van Fleet." Amber shook his head, while looking calm. Said:
"Before you came here, you were all professional soldiers of the Federation. As a soldier, your bounden duty is to obey the orders of your superiors, so it is logical for you to follow the orders of your superiors and fight Atlas swords on the battlefield. , I can’t think that you two will surrender without a fight as soon as you see Atlas, right?”
Hearing this, Guterres also relaxed a little, and at the same time he was grateful for Amber. The gentleman is not an unreasonable and logical person.
At the same time, Amber also continued: "And if it weren't for the persecution of the two of you by the military-industrial complex and the inaction of the federal government in the face of this matter, we would have a common 'enemy.' , I won’t even think about inviting you to join Atlas. After all, you two are also active-duty lieutenant generals of the Federation. Coming to Atlas, a ‘little temple’, is still a bit of a humiliation.”< br>
"Mr. Amber, you are being too modest. If Atlas can only be regarded as a 'small temple', then the military-industrial complex that you have been messing with during this period is not even a 'broken temple'." 'It doesn't even count? "
As an army lieutenant general, Van Fleet's speech does not have so many convoluted words and modifiers, and his overall style is more rough.
"Hahahaha, General Van Fleet, you really know how to joke." Amber smiled and shook his head. He had nothing to worry about the army lieutenant general's 'recruitment'.
Although the Federation has not issued any statement yet, judging from Van Fleet’s description of the intrigue between the military-industrial complex and the Federal Army Command and the bribed adjutant , it is clear that this is not a unilateral action by the military-industrial complex.
After that, Atlas’s intelligence outlet also gradually collected some new information - the Federal Army is gradually clearing out those directly related to Van Fleet and those related to him.
This basically confirmed that the federal government or the military, at least, allowed the military-industrial complex to act on this incident, and also helped to 'wipe the butt'.
This also means that Van Fleet no longer has to think about returning to the Federation for the time being.
In addition, during these days, Amber took Van Fleet to visit the production workshop inside the asteroid base, and showed some of the ground equipment that Atlas is gradually installing. , the expression on the former army lieutenant general's face had already exposed his inner thoughts.
So what Amber is really worried about is the choice of Guterres. After all, according to the relevant information provided by the intelligence office Isabel is in charge of, this Vice Admiral is almost a direct descendant of the Federal Navy Marshal.
After the war broke out, Marshal Trafalgar initially made the choice to send the 13th and 14th fleets to the border system to meet the enemy. In addition to considering the fleet's preparations, Guterres promoted him as his One of the generals is also one of the reasons.
Thinking of this, Amber also looked at the former Federal Navy Vice Admiral again, and then said:
"General Guterres, I have no intention of forcing you. If you cannot accept joining Atlas and the possibility of continued conflicts with the military-industrial complex and the federal government in the future, you can choose not to attend today's meeting. .
I will not restrict your freedom. If you don’t want to stay in this asteroid base, I will arrange for you to live in the Thousand Stars Empire. Although it is the kingdom of elves, there is no place for you in the world. There are still many human chambers of commerce and families settling in the border galaxy, so there is no need to worry about not being able to adapt."
"I will stay," Guterres said calmly but firmly.
"Have you really thought it through? General Van Fleet has a simple mind, so I won't be surprised by his choice. I'm sorry, General. I speak more directly."
As Amber spoke, she apologized to Van Fleet, and the latter graciously said that there was nothing wrong with what he said.
"But you, General Guterres. I hope you can still make a prudent decision, instead of making an impulsive choice in order to repay the so-called 'life-saving grace'."
"I I think clearly that the previous hesitation was more because I was worried about what Mr. Amber would think of me, but now it seems that I am actually too narrow-minded."
Guterres laughed at himself. Laughed, then raised his head to look at Amber, and said seriously:
"After this incident, I understand that the federal government is rotten to the core, and you and Atlas seem to be sent from heaven' "Skyfire", maybe after Atlas's "burning", this country will burn away its filth and be reborn in the future.
In this case, I am willing to join Atlas and spend the rest of my life to complete it. This cause"
