In the Second District of the Free Federation, military bases were established in both the northeast and southwest regions.
The eting place agreed upon by Gu Junwan and the commander of the Fifth Army Group was a training camp 100 kiloters away from the southwestern military base.
Both sides' ard forces were on guard outside the camp.
Inside the camp, there were fewer than 100 people in total.
Gu Junwan entered the camp with her assistant, the entire guard team, plus over ten military experts.
The other commander brought only twenty people.
Additionally, the camp had arranged for regular dical and logistics personnel, numbering seven or eight.
The commander of the Fifth Army Group was nad Yu Xiao, nearly 60 years old, and an A-class Alpha.
He was very robust in build, with a rugged face and sharp features, looking quite valiant and battle-ready.
Closely following Yu Xiao was a taciturn middle-aged man.
This was his adjutant, with responsibilities similar to a commander's secretary.
Yu Xiao and Gu Junwan didn't want anyone to know about their conversation, but due to their current different camps, they couldn't et privately like normal "ruler and subject".
Who knew if that commander might attempt sothing like taking hostages?
Given this situation, the venue for their face-to-face eting was chosen to be a special room.
A thick bulletproof glass divided the room into two sections.
Gu Junwan and Yu Xiao entered the room through different doors, completing their conversation across the glass.
Inside the room, their voices weren't obstructed, while outside, neither human ears nor listening devices could discern the conversation's content.
Functionally speaking, this eting thod wasn't much different from a video call.
But in terms of sincerity and confidentiality, communicating through devices certainly couldn't compare to face-to-face interaction.
Advanced technology sotis acts like a double-edged sword.
While bringing convenience to people, it also adds many barriers to trust between individuals.
One wall of the room where Gu Junwan and Yu Xiao were located was made of soundproof glass.
Shen Han and others standing on the training ground outside could clearly see the two talking inside the room.
Unable to accompany her Empress inside, Xu Zhao simply took out her laptop and began working, seated on a chair.
Inside the conversation room.
Gu Junwan didn't ntion anything about the military rebellion.
After discussing the matter of moles being planted within the Army Group with Yu Xiao, a brief silence fell over the room.
Yu Xiao's expression was solemn. He didn't offer any explanation for his actions a year and a half ago, nor did he seem eager to end the conversation.
He just sat there upright, looking at the woman across the bulletproof glass, lost in thought.
After a mont, Gu Junwan spoke first.
"Uncle Yu, about Yu Man's incident back then—"
Before she could finish, Yu Xiao interrupted with his panther-like eyes glaring: "Enough! You don't need to bring up that incident again!"
"I support Yuwei, not because you did anything wrong! You're more suited to be a leader, but I approve of her will more!"
As he spoke, Yu Xiao was very agitated.
He slamd his fist against the bulletproof glass in front of them, causing a buzzing sound to echo throughout the conversation room.
The two groups standing guard outside were all startled.
The Fifth Army Group mbers were slightly better off, as they knew their leader had always been hot-tempered.
But the Empress's team mbers led by Shen Han were on high alert!
If they hadn't seen Gu Junwan, sitting calmly inside, raise her hand towards them, they would have almost rushed in.
Gu Junwan didn't turn her head to look at her guard team mbers.
After lowering her hand, she continued speaking to Yu Xiao: "Uncle Yu, I'm not bringing up old matters to reopen your wounds."
"However, I think I should tell you so other truths I've discovered. You can continue supporting Yuwei, but I don't want you to always live in hatred."
Hearing the word "truths" in Gu Junwan's speech, Yu Xiao was first stunned, then his lips curled into a self-mocking smile.
He spoke in a deep voice: "I've investigated very clearly who shot my daughter back then. I don't think there exist any other investigative truths you speak of."
Gu Junwan frowned and shook her head: "It's not about the shooter."
Although the Free Federation hadn't been involved in foreign wars for many years, small-scale battles within its borders had never ceased.
First of all, the concept of Alpha-Oga equality would greatly shake the interests of many old powers.
Such reform requires the joint efforts of several generations to see significant results, and cannot be changed just by issuing a few decrees.
When Gu Junwan took over governance at 16, Yu Xiao's daughter Yu Man had just turned 18.
Yu Xiao had spent half his life in the military and was nearly 40 when he had this precious daughter, cherishing her imnsely.
Naming his daughter with the character for "romantic
