Chapter 168 Admit your mistake
After finishing his words, Gray knelt on one knee and bowed his head to the Star Lord. His eyes were filled with self-blame and guilt. His voice was low and hoarse, and he said with deep regret: "My Lord, this time I allowed all the new recruits among the Space Marines to join the battle, resulting in heavy casualties. This was a mistake on my part. I beg for punishment, my Lord."
After Gray knelt on one knee to admit his mistake, everyone in the conference room looked at him in disbelief, their eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.
The people in the logistics department were even more confused as to why Gray would take the initiative to admit his mistakes after winning the war. Wasn't this victory as perfect as they imagined?
Isn't victory in a war something to be happy about? Why Gray still thinks it was his own fault is hard to understand.
For a moment, the entire conference room fell silent, with only Gray's heavy breathing echoing in the air. Everyone was pondering the meaning behind Gray's words, trying to understand why he felt so guilty.
Only Andreida understood that the victory of this war was achieved at the cost of the deaths of his soldiers. This was the first time such heavy casualties had occurred since he joined the Lord of Stars.
This is why Gray chose to admit his mistake when facing the praise of the Lord of Stars. Gray was putting all the casualties of the soldiers in this war on his own head.
Although the decision to conduct boarding operations was agreed upon by all the top military brass, Gray obviously took all the blame on himself, saying that it was his own fault.
After Anrida figured it out, he stepped forward and knelt on one knee before the Star Lord on the throne. He lowered his head and said, "My Lord, I am responsible for the loss of so many soldiers this time. This is not just Gray's fault."
Andreda chose to share the responsibility with Gray. After all, this time the choice to board the ship was not just Gray's problem. Andreda himself also chose to board the ship with the defense soldiers. The most important thing was that he also wanted to test the actual combat capabilities of the defense soldiers, which led to the deaths of a large number of defense soldiers.
Mendeleev saw that both Gray and Andreda chose to admit their mistakes, which made Mendeleev feel a little embarrassed standing there.
In the final analysis, the reason Gray and Andrada chose to lead their soldiers in boarding operations was to seize the Imperial warships in order to repay the agreement they had made with the logistics personnel. The fact that boarding operations were to test the strength of the soldiers was only a later excuse.
Otherwise, with the power of the warships developed by the Lord of Stars, after the imperial warships suffered heavy damage, the navy could destroy the imperial fleet with a single round of firepower.
After figuring it out, Mendeleev also stepped forward and came to Gray and the other man who were kneeling on one knee. He chose to kneel down with them, lowered his head and said to the Lord of Stars:
"My Lord, I am also at fault this time. The reason why Captain Gray and Captain Anrida chose to board the ship with their soldiers was to fulfill the agreement we made with the logistics department.
This is why such losses have occurred. I also bear a great responsibility. After all, it was me who agreed to this condition in the first place."
As soon as Mendeleev finished speaking, he saw Gray and Andreda lowering their heads and glancing towards him slightly. It was obvious that they were a little dissatisfied with Mendeleev for stating the main reason.
Although Mendeleev saw the looks of the two men, he did not think there was anything wrong with it. Since he had chosen to admit his mistake, he should honestly state the problem.
The Star Lord looked at the three people kneeling in front of him, a smile appeared on his face, and then he said:
"All of you, get up. This incident is not your fault. You performed well in fighting the imperial army.
As for your agreement with the logistics department, this situation was caused by my initial decision-making error. I did not prepare the warships they needed for the logistics department, and the production capacity was somewhat insufficient at the time, which led to this problem. "
The art students have always been watching what they do and have always allowed them to do so. If you want the horse to run, you have to let it eat grass.
In the eyes of the art student, the sacrificed soldiers can be recruited and replenished from the Star Sea galaxy at any time. What the art student cares about most is the attitude of these three people. Since the three are willing to admit their mistakes, there is no need to continue to punish them.
Hearing the words of the Star Lord, the three were very surprised. They did not expect that the Star Lord would take the initiative to take responsibility and express understanding and tolerance towards them.
The art student waved his hand at the three people kneeling on the ground, and they stood up from the ground involuntarily.
The Star Lord continued, "Since you have already agreed to the logistics department's request, you must also fulfill your promise to them. You cannot break your promise on matters like this, otherwise it will be difficult for you to ask the logistics department to help you with your work in the future."
The three of them nodded, expressing their agreement with the Lord of Stars' opinion.
After Hauge and the others heard the decision from the Star Lord, Hauge stepped out of the group and said excitedly:
"My Lord, Captain Gray and the others have agreed to our request without any haste. We can continue to wait for a while."
For Hawgood and the others, since the Lord of the Stars agreed to the agreement between themselves and Gray and the others, there was no need to rush.
Moreover, judging from what the Lord of Stars said, warships will also be prepared for the logistics department personnel. Now that the Lord of Stars has spoken, it would be better to look forward to the warships that the Lord of Stars will design for the logistics department.
After hearing Hawgood's answer, the art student smiled and said to Hawgood and the others, "Since you have already made an appointment with Gray and the others, Gray and the others cannot break their promise on such matters."
After hearing the Star Lord's words, Mendeleev smiled and said to Hawgood and the others, "We've captured so many warships from the Empire this time. After our technical engineering analysts analyze them, we'll deliver those that don't meet our navy's requirements to you. Don't refuse."
When Hogood heard Mendeleev say the same thing, it was obvious that some of the imperial warships captured this time would be given to the logistics department personnel for use.
If he made any more excuses, he would be offending the Star Lord, and Hogood dared not do such a thing.
Hogood nodded to Mendeleev and said, "Since you, the navy, have no objections, I won't refuse. Otherwise, we would appear hypocritical."
The art student looked at the two parties living in harmony with satisfaction. This was the result he wanted. The situation that the art student feared most was the conflict between the civil and military sides.
