An inconspicuous shipping spacecraft landed in Halo City.
Su Mo walked down from the exit.
The entire port has become more lively, and it seems that more people are visiting the Star Ring City.
At this time, a man wearing a black trench coat walked past Su Mo holding a pink little girl.
The little girl asked her father very confusedly.
"Father, didn't we just leave here and go home not long ago? Why are we back again?"
"Silly boy, isn't it good here? Come here and play for a few more days."
"All right."
...
Su Mo couldn't help but take another look at the father and daughter.
The situation has been unstable recently, and many wealthy people are thinking of running to the City of Stars. This can be regarded as a means of refuge.
Su Mo stood there and looked at the bustling Star Ring City, took a deep breath, and then stepped onto the floating mechanical grid and headed to the federal building.
A moment later, Su Mo appeared at the door of the federal building.
The entrance to the federal building, which was already very lively, is now even more lively.
A general with a tall figure and a resolute face wearing mechanical armor and his subordinates walked into the building with sonorous and powerful steps.
The reporters waiting at the door gathered around him.
"General Schwa, you are here too. Are you here for negotiation?"
"Yes, I'll stop here. I'm here to support the Speaker of the Parliament. Those guys from the Imperial Army have gone too far. If they don't want to have a good talk, the worst is to fight them!"
General Schwa looked at the camera angrily and uttered harsh words.
The reporter who interviewed also said excitedly: "I believe that the Federation has a brave and fearless general like you, and will never compromise. The future of the Federation is full of hope, and no one can oppress us."
...
Su Mo looked at this scene and touched his chin, lost in thought. He felt that the situation was a bit out of control.
I don’t know if the federal government has found a solution.
Thinking of this, Su Mo decided to go in first to find out the situation.
So Su Mo walked towards the building.
Not long after, Su Mo used his badge to gain permission to enter the lobby of the federal building. A large number of executives and generals gathered in the entire hall.
They were all discussing angrily.
"Have you seen that Star Ring forum? Those bastards from the Imperial Army look like they are determined to defeat us."
"It's just that the weapons are more advanced. What's the big deal? I won't accept this."
"No, we must not compromise. We have to let the speaker of the parliament know our determination. We will never be cowardly in tomorrow's negotiations."
"Yes, we can talk if we can; if we can't, we can't."
"But, the speaker of the parliament is missing now."
"It's our attitude as we sit here, and the Speaker of Parliament will naturally know it."
"That's right, but then again, do we really have no other option?"
"Is there any way I can do it? The Chairman of the Council is not a god, so he can't conjure a Star Destroyer out of thin air, right?"
"Yes, don't have unrealistic hopes. All troops are now ready for war."
"I just hope there won't be another war. It took a lot of effort to send supplies back to the front line. I just got some money and can develop well. If we start a war, it will be all in vain."
"Okay, we don't want to fight, but we can't let people sit on our necks and shit."
...
Su Mo found a seat and listened quietly to their heated discussion.
His expression kept changing. Judging from their discussion, he was basically certain that the Federation did not have a good solution.
The backup plan prepared by the President of the Arles Council is probably an all-out war.
This is not a good thing. If a full-scale war breaks out and the situation gets out of control, he will definitely be involved. No one will be immune, and his shipping will also be affected.
Thinking of this, Su Mo's brows furrowed even more.
At this time, Su Mo's eyes suddenly showed a hint of surprise. He saw Xiao Wen and several generals walking in quickly.
Their expressions were also tense, and they seemed to be here to suppress the situation.
Su Mo thought for a while and then didn't go up to say hello.
Time passes little by little.
Su Mo sat quietly in the hall until late at night.
The originally bustling hall now became deserted.
At this time, Su Mo stood up and walked towards the elevator quietly.
He entered the elevator, picked up his badge, swiped the permissions, and clicked on the highest floor.
The deep voice of the owner of the forgery, the Devourer, sounded in Su Mo's mind: "What do you want to do?"
"Go up and have a look."
Su Mo took a deep breath and replied calmly.
After hearing this, the owner of the forgery, the Devourer, stopped talking.
Inside the top floor offices of the federal government.
Arles stood by the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the starry sky in the distance, somewhat entranced.
Placed on the desk are distribution maps of each legion's troops, as well as troop statistics documents.
He kept thinking about the combat arrangements after the war started.
If the guess is correct, the High Motos Empire will definitely rely on the power of Star Destroyers and V-generation mechas to block the strategic star seas leading to the front line in the Rhine Star Territory.
At that time, they will have to be forced to accept the challenge, and they will not be able to take the initiative.
So you must find a way to avoid this situation from happening.
...
Just then.
Creak!
The office door was pushed open directly.
Arles' train of thought was interrupted. He said angrily: "Who?"
"it's me."
Su Mo walked in with a smile.
When Arles saw Su Mo walking in, the displeasure on his face immediately disappeared, but he also showed a hint of tiredness.
"How did you come."
"Isn't there a commotion outside? I just came over to take a look."
"I'm determined."
"Lord Council Leader, it seems that you are in some trouble. Is it because of negotiations with the Imperial Army?"
"Yes, the situation is not optimistic. The Gaumotos Empire is not as strong now, and we have no way to give in, so we can only prepare for the worst. But if it is not enough, who is willing to go to war? Once the war starts, there will be no turning back.
, I don’t know how many people will die.”
Arles sighed and did not hide it from Su Mo.
"Is it because the other party has a Star Destroyer?"
Su Mo asked tentatively.
"Yes, huh? Do you have any idea?"
Arles suddenly noticed something and raised his head to look at Su Mo.
"Ahem, I don't have a permanent solution. But I have a temporary solution. I don't know if it's feasible."
Su Mo coughed and said.
"What method, tell me!"
Arles's eyes lit up slightly. You must know that Su Mo always gives people unexpected surprises.
"I can help the Federation rent a Star Destroyer."
Su Mo organized his thoughts and said solemnly.
Arles also showed great joy when he heard this and asked: "Are you sure?"
"Sure, but the price is a bit high. First of all, the rent is definitely not cheap, and you also need a license, which is a bit wasteful."
