"!!"
"C-Commander?!"
Darius couldn't hold it in any longer. He almost slammed the table and jumped to his feet.
Honestly, if he could, Darius would have gone back in time and stopped their troublesome commander before she said that, no matter what it took.
In his view, there was no need to discuss the matter of the Taiwei System and Canopy Star at all. They couldn't afford to bring it up!
At most, they should simply drag things out as long as possible while they were here—not agreeing, but not rushing to object either, just keeping things lukewarm and slowly wearing the other side down. Ideally, they could stall for two or three months, then use their mass-produced Battlecruisers to intimidate the other side with their fleet or fight a couple of impressive battles to make them back down. That should be enough.
After all, until the other side understood the true strength of the Koprulu Sector in this universe—and until they figured out the situation and strength of the Koprulu Sector in the Taiwei System—they were unlikely to let things escalate into a major conflict.
Of course, if the other side still refused to back down, then they could take them on all the way.
But now, their troublesome Annie had gone and stirred up trouble at this critical moment, saying they could negotiate. Was that really something they could negotiate over?
They should have avoided bringing up the Taiwei System in the first place. Otherwise, it would lead to endless trouble, and they might not even get the chance to reform Canopy Star.
"You..."
"What are you..."
If it had been anyone else, Darius might already have slapped them.
But the problem was, this was their commander. He couldn't beat her, didn't dare scold her, and didn't even
