Capítulo 954: Chapter 381: The White Ghost of the Evil Empire Is About to Arrive at the Great Minter City
“White Ghost leads the Empire’s ‘Peace Wish’ investigation team into New Federation territory”.
Upon seeing this news release, Federation mber and the second Pioneer, Allison, almost exploded with anger.
What does shaless an?
This is exactly shaless, to the utmost!
After the assassination incident, it was the Empire that attacked them indiscriminately, and after the war started, it was the Empire that severely damaged their New Federation conventional military strength twice in battle.
Now, the Imperial Expeditionary Ship is poised right above New Federation’s head, occupying their two or three dozen planets, over a hundred Resource Stars, conducting population trafficking and resource extraction daily, creating a strong panic effect on New Federation’s overall economy, almost causing a double-digit economic decline.
To say the White Ghost is all to bla might be excessive, after all, the White Ghost only sabotaged New Federation’s burrower plan;
But as for how New Federation reached this point today, this White Ghost must bear at least ten percent of the responsibility!
Now, the atmosphere in the closed-door eting of the mbers has beco tense and fraught.
Allison still sits in the corner, his position in the party has not improved substantially for a long ti. However, with the expansion of his connections and the growth of his influence in secret, he is confident about securing his ho planet’s future.
Of course, this is contingent upon the New Federation still maintaining one of the top five powers in the Milky Way by then.
“We cannot let them enter!”
An elderly mber suddenly slamd the table, causing the kettle on it to jump.
Allison looked up, with a thoughtful expression in his eyes.
The old mber shouted angrily:
“Have we not suffered enough humiliation?
“The war defeats now have seriously disappointed our citizens! If we let them in, it represents us yielding to the Empire, fearing this Emperor’s Power and its evil empire!
“Since a hundred years ago, resisting the Empire has been our foundation of nationhood! This affects all aspects of the economic field!
“We absolutely cannot let this investigation team co in! If White Ghost is confird to be on that ship, shoot it down imdiately!”
Imdiately there were mbers holding opposing opinions:
“If we attack their transport ship, won’t the Empire find a suitable excuse to launch a direct attack on Minter City?”
“Honorable Deputy Councilman, I must also remind you, our military factories have already pushed all capacities to the maximum, yet our industrial base and scale are far inferior to the Empire. Now, for every two main battleships the Empire produces, we can only produce one, not to ntion, the Empire has ancient fleets made with semi-permanent materials.”
“This war, for us, was lost the mont it began.”
“We are trapped in the developnt trap of competing with the Empire. The military strikes the Empire conducts against us would happen no matter any other reason or excuse. What we must think about now is how to surpass the Empire in future developnt from the rear, or reach the Empire’s national power sixty percent benchmark.”
The Deputy Councilman sighed: “Now the citizens… a new political party has started rising, their support rate is continuously increasing.”
“This is all controllable, you don’t need to worry about it.”
“Their transport ship is heading directly towards Minter City, it hasn’t started jumping yet, but this is where it’s headed, we should make a decision now.”
“Let’s end this discussion, we’ve debated all morning.”
The elder sitting in the central position said in a deep voice:
“Ending the war with the Empire as soon as possible is beneficial for us, we are the policy-makers of the country and should also consider the citizens’ safety in occupied areas.
“None of us want our citizens to beco slaves to the Empire, this isn’t about our own interests; all of us must harbor the purest and simplest belief in this governance.
“Wasn’t losing this war already predicted by us earlier?
“Now we can only withstand the Empire’s provocation, then defeat them in the future. The citizens’ anger and resentnt is exactly our core motivation for developnt next, never forget today’s humiliation.”
“Never forget today’s humiliation.”
“Never forget today’s humiliation!”
The low voices echoed back and forth.
“Let’s start voting now, those who support not attacking the investigation team, please raise your hand.”
About half the people raised their right hands.
Allison glanced at his ‘boss’, just like the other slightly younger mbers, following their ‘leader’ in voting.
A few seconds later, the elder also raised his hand, followed by more than a dozen mbers including Allison raising their hands simultaneously.
The faces of the elders sitting in the center beca even more somber, and sighs resonated throughout the eting room.
Allison just sat quietly in his corner, contemplating whether he should leave and avoid confrontation with the White Ghost, so as not to reveal any flaws.
His team had previously reported that they detected so, exploratory attacks from the Empire’s network.
This indicates that number one Pioneer White Ghost is likely persistently seeking the true identity of number two Pioneer…
“Allison?”
The elder in front turned his head to look over.
Allison’s heart skipped a beat, but he imdiately stood up and walked over, leaning in close to the elder’s side.
“Allison, later, take so young people to greet this investigation team, we old folks have no face to show ourselves.”
