Xiao Ting looked at Yu Canghai's body in silence for a long time, "He is the supreme commander of White Rat Star."
"Not anymore."
Gao Xuan said slowly: "According to wartime conventions, Yu Canghai was killed and you automatically took over as the supreme commander."
Xiao Ting smiled bitterly, Gao Xuan said it was too easy.
The military attaches great importance to rank, and it is a taboo for the inferior to overthrow the superior. Killing the highest commander without authorization is a fundamental violation of military rules.
Although the Xiao family is strong in the military, they cannot convince the public by doing such a thing.
Besides, the Yu family is not made of clay. Once the news spreads, the Xiao family will be extremely passive. There will even be opposition within the Xiao family.
"Before me there is the Chief of Staff..."
Xiao Ting said in embarrassment: "The key bases are all run by the Yu family. The Yu family has been operating on White Rat Star for decades, and most of the military are their people. Yu Canghai died like this, and it's a big trouble."
"I believe the chief of staff is willing to hand over command."
Gao Xuan comforted Xiao Ting softly: "You need to control the army now and prevent riots."
Xiao Ting looked at the room full of corpses and said, "I'm afraid this will be difficult."
"I got rid of all the Zerg."
Gao Xuan said: "What you need to do now is very simple. Gather the assault division to take control of the base and control all the top leaders of the Yu family. Anyone who disobeys orders will be killed directly."
Gao Xuan understood Xiao Ting's worries. After all, Xiao Ting had never seen a big scene before. Although she was capable of doing things, she didn't have the courage. This was normal.
The military's rules are ingrained in her.
So she would be very frightened and upset when she saw Yu Canghai being killed.
In terms of nature, his public killing of Yu Canghai was indeed a serious violation of the rules. This was completely different from Lan Changan's case.
However, Gao Xuan didn't care.
After activating the mechanical war cicada, he was able to sweep across the twelve star regions. Any resistance was nothing in the face of absolute force.
No rules or traditions had any binding force on him.
Gao Xuan asked Xiao Ting to control the base just to avoid unnecessary fighting. Try to control the situation within the upper range and not expand it to the entire combat unit.
"First, control the Chief of Staff, control external communications, and control the Yu family's top brass in the command center..."
Gao Xuan helped Xiao Ting make arrangements: "There are only a few elite members of the Yu family left now. With the assault division, you will definitely be able to control the command center."
Xiao Ting was still very uneasy, but things had come to this point, she could only trust Gao Xuan and do as Gao Xuan arranged.
The Chief of Staff was Yu Huian, who was very old, over 200 years old.
Precisely because of his age, he has a calm mentality.
Seeing the bodies of Yu Canghai and other Yu family elites, he remained relatively calm. At least he did not shout or scream, nor did he intend to draw his sword to fight.
Yu Huian just stood in the room, looking at Gao Xuan quietly without saying a word.
"Yu Canghai colluded with aliens and betrayed the alliance, so I killed him."
Gao Xuan said coldly: "You are not Yu Canghai's accomplice, right?"
Yu Hui'an slowly shook his head: "I don't know anything."
"Very good, you hand over the command to Xiao Ting. Keep the rest of the Yu family under control."
Gao Xuan said: "Don't worry, we will get to the bottom of this. We won't let a bad guy go, nor will we wrongly accuse a good guy."
Yu Hui'an frowned, thought about it and said, "I am willing to cooperate."
Xiao Ting was a little surprised that Yu Huian agreed to cooperate so easily. Isn't it too easy for him to give in
No matter what Yu Huian thought, he still fulfilled his duty and called a meeting of all senior military officers.
After these high-ranking officers entered the headquarters, all the direct descendants of the Yu family were controlled and imprisoned in a room.
Xiao Ting simply confiscated everyone's weapons. Everyone gathered in the room, each with an angry and uneasy look on their face.
A high-ranking officer of the Yu family asked: "Chief, where is the supreme commander? What does Xiao Ting want to do? Want to seize power directly? Is she crazy?"
Yu Hui'an shook his head slightly: "The supreme commander was killed by Gao Xuan."
"ah!"
Many high-ranking officials of the Yu family were horrified. Is the Xiao family crazy to openly kill the supreme commander in the army
One person said excitedly: "They are plotting a rebellion. According to military law, they will be executed without mercy. We cannot help but rise up to resist."
The others nodded in agreement, "That's right, we can't just sit back and watch the Xiao family do whatever they want!"
"Let's go back immediately and organize people to counterattack the base!"
"That's right. We have a million troops, and they only have 20,000. It's easy to destroy them..."
"It's hateful. If we had known this, we wouldn't have come to the base to reunite."
The crowd became more and more excited as they talked, and they all stood up, ready to join forces for a big fight.
They were also very dissatisfied with Yu Huian. If Yu Huian had not called them over, they would not have been in such a passive position.
But in front of Yu Huian, they couldn't say much.
Just as everyone was discussing the details of the operation, Yu Hui'an spoke up: "Stop making trouble. Xiao Ting left you here without supervision just to let you jump out on your own."
Everyone looked at Yu Huian with dissatisfaction. Not only did he not participate in the discussion of important matters, but he also poured cold water on them.
Yu Hui'an didn't look at the crowd. He lowered his eyes and sighed softly: "Cang Hai, Ling Ji and other seven silver sword masters were killed by Gao Xuan's sword. They had no resistance."
He shook his head repeatedly as he spoke; the scene in the command room deeply shocked him.
A group of people died but still stood still, like lifelike wax figures.
This was certainly due to the excellent balance of the center of gravity of many masters, but also the incredible speed of Gao Xuanjian. He killed everyone with one sword without waiting for Yu Canghai and others to exert their strength.
Yu Huian is also a silver swordsman, and he knows how terrifying this sword technique is.
The high-ranking officers of the Yu family were quite capable and courageous, but facing an inhuman opponent like Gao Xuan, all their strategies and abilities were meaningless.
Of course, he didn't have to gather everyone.
A group of senior officers of the Yu family hold military power and can fight against Gao Xuan. But the result of such a confrontation will be very tragic.
Yu Huian also didn't think there was any point in such a confrontation.
After all, the army is not the Yu family’s private armed forces. They cannot do anything to Gao Xuan by leading the troops to fight, and it will only make Baishu Star more chaotic.
If Gao Xuan has time, he will always find a way to deal with them.
If they can't deal with Gao Xuan, they can't win.
Seeing this, Yu Hui'an simply gave up all resistance. This way, they still had a chance to survive.
Although Gao Xuan was cruel and ruthless, he would not kill people indiscriminately, as can be seen from the fate of the Lan family.
Although the Lan family suffered a great loss in strength, falling from the top to the first-rate, at least they managed to preserve the family heritage.
As long as a person is alive and the family foundation is still there, there is always a chance to rise.
If they confronted Gao Xuan head-on, the Yu family would be doomed. No matter what others chose, Yu Huian would choose the safest path.
Yu Huian cannot force people to make a choice, but he can explain the reason clearly and let them make their own choice.
Regardless of their personalities, the many high-ranking officials of the Yu family are all smart people. Idiots cannot become high-ranking officials.
No matter what their background is, if they want to be an official, they have to play with people and fight with people. Their professional ability may be a little worse, but they all understand human nature.
The Taurus Star family couldn't do anything to Gao Xuan. The golden masters they invited were all killed by Gao Xuan. What could they do with the army in their hands
The group of people realized what was going on and soon calmed down.
No one was willing to risk their lives. The leader, Yu Hui'an, was so honest, why were they jumping around so much
If the Yu family behaves themselves, the situation will be easier.
Xiao Ting controlled the internal and external communications, and without any interference from the Yu family, she successfully took control of the garrison on White Rat Star.
After she sorted out the matter, she immediately contacted the head of the family, Xiao Jun, and reported the situation in detail.
Xiao Jun was also greatly shocked. Killing the commander-in-chief was a taboo.
However, Gao Xuan had already killed Yu Canghai, so there was no way back. They had to fully support Gao Xuan now.
To be honest, Xiao Jun doesn't like such domineering and overbearing attitude.
Being unreasonable and unruly may give you a temporary pleasure, but the price you pay is breaking the rules, and it will be difficult to use the rules to discipline others in the future.
This negative effect will take at least a long time to eliminate.
However, this time, Yu Canghai also wanted to plot against Gao Xuan. What was even more hateful was that the other party actually wanted to drop multiple nuclear bombs. How insane.
Xiao Ting obtained the legal right of command, and could obtain all the communication records and command records. This was the ironclad evidence.
The matter was of great importance, so Xiao Jun gave instructions to Xiao Ting to appease the army and not to cause a mutiny in the army. She also had to fully cooperate with Gao Xuan.
Xiao Jun also made various emergency arrangements on Jinma Star to prevent the Yu family from doing anything desperate.
Unfortunately, the distance between the planets is far. Xiao Ting only has two assault divisions, and although they are elite, they are still too few compared to the local forces of White Rat Star.
Xiao Jun was very worried, but he didn't have any better solution.
The entire Xiao family mobilized to prepare for the coming chaos.
Seven days later, Xiao Cheng arrived with a reorganized interstellar fleet and took over the White Rat Star.
Xiao Ting accompanied Gao Xuan on the spaceship back to Taurus.
Twelve days later, Xiao Ting and Gao Xuan arrived at Taurus.
The two of them went to the military terminal base. This time, Xiao Jun personally led the team to pick up Gao Xuan.
After exchanging a few simple pleasantries, Xiao Jun said to Gao Xuan with a serious expression: "The situation is not good."
"Is there trouble in the Yu family?" Gao Xuan asked.
Xiao Jun sighed and said, "The Yu family, together with the Wang family and the Lin family, asked us to give a reasonable explanation for the matter of Yu Canghai."
"What else?"
Gao Xuan was a little curious, what other tricks did these big families have
"Otherwise, the Yu family threatened to use extreme measures to perish with us."
"What extreme measures?"
"They may have planted a nuclear bomb in Jinyuan City."
Xiao Jun also smiled bitterly. This trick was very simple and crude, but also very effective.
Once the protective layer of this underwater city is breached, I am afraid that few people will survive. Not to mention the power of the nuclear bomb itself, it is enough to destroy the humans in Jinyuan City.
"So what do they want to be explained?"
Gao Xuan was not surprised by such a move. His appearance had destroyed the balance of Taurus, so it was normal for the other party to prepare some vicious moves that would result in both of them dying. He really wanted to know what the other party wanted.
"They demand that you leave the Twelve Star Regions forever."
Without waiting for Gao Xuan to speak, Xiao Jun said sternly, "Of course I won't agree to such unreasonable conditions."
Gao Xuan laughed: "Do all three of them mean the same thing?"
He asked Xiao Jun curiously, "Am I being too honest?"
Xiao Jun glanced at the arrogance on Gao Xuan's face and opened his mouth but in the end nothing came out.
