[About the recent political news you need to know: The Battle of Ilando Star.]
[The history of the Wind Alliance's counterattack: rising from the difficult suppression by the strongest Empire and the shaless power.]
After scrolling through the rankings of the portal's information, Yang Ming finally found the video of the Guel Alliance's official stance conference.
In the conference, the journalists' questions were sharp, and the Guel Alliance officials' answers seed sowhat weak.
"Mr. Spokesman, we have noticed the New Federation CIA's explanation at their conference. They have denied the authenticity of this assassination attempt, pointing out that the combat video circulating inside and outside the Guel Alliance is clearly a manipulated video. No ordinary person can take down over thirty skilled agents; it's rely a film segnt.
"What do you think about their statent?"
"Uh, this...our preliminary judgnt is that the video has not been technically processed, and multiple angles and cara positions prove that the attack at the Atas settlent bar indeed happened without a doubt.
"Furthermore, those corpses and those agents are under our control, and we are conducting detailed interrogations and investigations, which will be published one by one in the future.
"Regardless, planning and organizing such violent attacks that endanger public safety within our Guel Alliance borders will be thoroughly investigated, and we will not let any criminal who attempts to disturb our nation's public order environnt go unpunished!"
"Mr. Spokesman, were any civilians injured in this attack?"
"No, so far I have not received any reports of civilian injuries, although many people present were frightened. We have arranged psychological counseling teams for free psychological consultations and will continue to monitor the psychological health of these civilians in the future."
"Mr. Spokesman!"
"This lady."
"Can you tell us the current status of General Yang Ming?"
"He is very safe and healthy," the spokesman smiled, "He is a powerful warrior, though he refused our offer for a physical examination, and we fully respect his personal rights."
"Is the Guel Alliance currently restricting General Yang Ming's freedom?"
"This statent is not accurate.
"We now need General Yang Ming to cooperate with our investigation. Right after the incident, we imdiately notified the United Diplomatic Departnt of the Wind Alliance through official high-level dialogue channels, and they requested us to provide political asylum for General Yang Ming. Hence, we dispatched elite soldiers to protect General Yang Ming."
"Will the Alliance hand over General Yang Ming to the New Federation later?"
"This issue is currently hard to define..."
"Does this an the Alliance might hand over the assassination target to the organization responsible for the assassination?"
"Firstly, we cannot yet determine that these agents co from the New Federation; there are other possibilities, and we need to conduct a detailed investigation.
"Secondly, indeed, there are extradition demands for top-tier fugitives in the New Federation's diplomatic note to us. Our nation and the New Federation have extradition agreents and long-term cooperation on interstellar counter-terrorism matters.
"But we must recognize that General Yang Ming's incident has an extrely complex political background.
"Our Guel Alliance does not intend to participate in the war between the Wind and the New Federation..."
"Mr. Spokesman! Does this attitude an that the Guel Alliance is rely a political follower of the New Federation?"
"Such statents are utterly unfounded! Our nation is a completely autonomous country enjoying high prestige in the Milky Way; please stop defaming our sovereignty!"
"What do you think of the series of conflicts that have erupted between the Guel Alliance and the Wind Alliance?"
"Oh, which entity's journalist are you?"
"I am from the Sherman Empire Emperor Star Circle Comprehensive News."
"Expel this journalist lady; she is not welco here."
…
The latter part of this conference video turned into a farce.
Boss Yang watched it for so amusent.
Browsing further down, it was all sorts of unrelated news, and that expelled journalist from the Sherman Empire now had no follow-up; she must have been silenced across all channels.
At the mont, among the four great rogues of the Milky Way, three have gotten involved in this matter, leaving only the Free Federation watching the spectacle.
This is rather impolite.
Yang Ming rubbed his nose: "Lyu, notify Area Four over there to do sothing, ask the Free Federation to make a statent on my incident."
"Okay, Boss...specifically, what statent?"
"Support the Wind's overwhelming victory over the New Federation, then criticize the Sherman Empire's vassal state system, bombard the Guel Alliance's political scene as infiltrated by the New Federation; doing so aligns with the Free Federation's interests anyway, the pressure there should not be significant."
"Yes."
Yang Ming imdiately revealed a contented smile.
The Four Great Rogues appearing together certainly adds to the grandeur.
"Boss, Vice Captain Kolev and Miss Mimili will be visiting you this afternoon."
"Tell them to bring so good food. The work als here are too bland."
...
In the fleet formation where the New Federation Delegation is located, on the outer edge of the cylindrical settlent.
Senator Allison looked at the report in hand, frowning deeper and deeper, a murmur arising in his heart.
"Sothing's not right."
Allison looked up at a certain Vice Director of the CIA beside him, and said solemnly, "The developnt of the situation has sowhat exceeded our expectations."
"Yes, Allison, the situation is now sowhat unfavorable to us."
The Vice Director sighed, the elderly man already gray-haired, with a hint of red in his eyes.
"Things are more complicated than we thought. When we issued a note to the Alliance demanding the extradition of the wanted criminal, the Alliance used delaying tactics, wanting to stabilize us first, then bargain with Wind."
"The problem is, this gave the Sherman Empire ti to react. The Sherman's delegation will arrive in two more Galaxy Tis."
"Now things have escalated, and the dostic pressure is great, demanding we must win this diplomatic battle, yet unwilling to give us more chips... A bunch of idiots."
Allison slightly pouted, sighing, "Get used to it... Want a drink to relieve the pressure?"
"No, no, we must keep a clear mind to think now. Allison, you are good at scheming these things. Do you have any good ideas?"
"Can't think of any good solution for now."
Allison walked to the bar on his own, concocted a non-intoxicating Neuro Corrosive Agent, elegantly brought it to hand, and laughed:
"This Yang Ming, the grievances with our New Federation, can't be explained in a sentence or two.
"Previously, he was patient enough to hide within the Wind Alliance's fleet, seldom having the chance to go ground activities, and yet this ti he unexpectedly ca to the Guel Alliance. There must be so deeper aning behind this.
"Think about it, what's the biggest crisis facing the Wind Alliance now? What do they want to do the most?"
"The biggest crisis?"
The Vice Director pondered a few monts:
"They are about to remit the annual silver to the Sherman Empire again... This should be their current largest crisis. The alliance they painstakingly built will have ideological cracks because of remitting the annual silver again.
"These small nations know the wicked Sherman is a demon that devours without leaving bones. They surely have to consider whether this alliance was also built under Sherman's behest, just to supply Sherman with blood...
"Wow, so that's why he suddenly appeared in the Guel Alliance.
"The Wind seeks to gain the support of the Guel Alliance, then break free of Sherman's shackles."
"Hmm."
Allison revealed a confident smile:
"Next, we also have a move to make, which is to emphasize Wind's intent to break away from the Sherman Empire, keep hamring this point, and Wind itself will eventually fall into chaos.
"I bet they don't dare to tear apart directly with Sherman now, yet unwilling to shout long live Sherman."
"Hehehe, that's a good idea, let think about how to settle this issue..."
Suddenly, a slightly urgent doorbell rang from the blast-proof door of the lounge.
The Vice Director shouted, "Enter."
The hatch was pushed open by a middle-aged officer, the officer gasping heavily, staring at Allison, trembling, "We're surrounded! Senator!"
"What?"
Allison felt his ears might be having issues, followed by a jolt in his heart.
Revenge of Number Three?!
"Who surrounded us?"
"This might be hard for you to believe, but... it's the escort fleet of the Wind delegation."
