Chapter 532 Who is slandering me in the Marshal's ear?
"Transport ship?" Ai Wanxin asked, "Are you saying that someone deliberately sent a transport ship to the pirates' mouth, but it was rescued by the Sixth Star Sector Fleet in advance?"
Jon nodded. "That's exactly what's strange. After the Sixth Sector Fleet intercepted the rebels' jump coordinates, it should normally have kept a close eye on them and tried to obtain more intelligence."
"Or we can sneak behind them and wait until the rebels and the main force are in direct confrontation, then attack them from behind, so that the rebels are attacked from both sides."
"Anyone with a little military knowledge should understand that the resistance is the biggest threat right now."
"After all, they are a group of tigers and wolves who have followed you through the Great Galaxy Era, conquered the vast territory of the Interstellar Federation with real swords and guns, experienced the baptism of countless wars, and waded through the sea of blood. They are not a mob that gathers in the mountains."
"The reason the rebels have avoided fighting over the years is not because they are afraid of the Federation Navy. Even someone as arrogant as Schnatter would not doubt this."
"But I really can't understand why the Sixth Sector Fleet ignored such a danger and intercepted a transport ship."
"Could it be that the transport ship is so important that they had to abandon the rebels and go to escort it?" He Yang guessed.
"If it is a very important transport ship, it should not be without an escort fleet from the beginning, and it should not pass through the Carina star field." Jon said firmly.
Jing curled his lips and smiled: "What's so hard to understand about this? A transport ship fully loaded with supplies and with limited firepower swaggered through the pirates' nest."
"It's either the rat that lures the snake out of its hole, or the 'person' who is to be killed in the murder by borrowing a knife."
Jon frowned. "We can't possibly divide our forces to encircle and suppress the pirates at this time, right? And Ludwig's message said that the Sixth Star Sector Fleet directly intercepted the transport ship and escorted it to the new main star. They didn't use it as bait to lure the pirates."
Jing smiled at Ai Wanxin and said, "Then if we rule out the wrong answers, the only answer left must be the correct one. Someone wants this transport ship to 'accidentally' disappear in the base of the ship. Sister, do you think I'm right?"
Ai Wanxin nodded: "You are right."
The same question popped up in everyone's mind at the same time: who sent this transport ship, and why did they let it "accidentally" disappear? Who was the person that the Sixth Star Fleet abandoned the resistance to save?
Ai Wanxin seemed to understand everyone's doubts: "There is no rush for this matter. Instead of guessing here, why not ask Schnatter."
Jon's eyes widened and he asked in surprise, "Are you going to ask directly?"
Can this kind of thing be brought up on the table?
"Either ask directly or ask in passing." Ai Wanxin comforted him, "The resistance army will be here soon, and I have to clear the obstacles in the Eclipse Fortress for them."
"By the way, you said there was news about Atlas too. What happened to him?"
The Eclipse Fortress houses almost all of the fleets in the Third Quadrant. How is the commander going to clear this obstacle...?
Jon was in a trance for only a moment, but seeing Ai Wanxin's determined gaze, he quickly calmed down and replied, "This morning's alliance meeting was postponed due to the withdrawal of the Holy Ring Papal State."
"Atlas was furious and came to you, saying he wanted to see you. He also said that if I didn't have time to organize the exile declaration for Feng Jingyi, forget it and hand him over to him, and he would make the arrangements."
"I let Andy hold him off for now."
"Let's do this." Ai Wan thought for a moment and said, "Brother Han and Qiong will go with me to meet Schnatter, He Yang and Jing will go to see the evacuation of the outer islands and bring Xue Muqing back, and Brother Xiao Pei and Qiao En will go back to arrange the exile declaration. Since they want a stage so much, let's build one for them."

On the top floor of the Conqueror is the magnificent admiral's exclusive lounge.
The six-meter-long dining table was filled with fragrant dishes. Schnatter sat relaxedly in a high-back armchair with a white napkin tucked into his sturdy neck.
Two slim and pretty young women, wearing specially made military uniforms with short skirts, walked gracefully around the dining table, picked up food for Schnatter according to his preferences, and then gently fed it into his mouth, serving him his meal.
This was the scene Ai Wanxin saw when she walked into the lounge.
Schnatter swept his eyes, which always flashed with malicious light, across Ai Wanxin's face, and then his gaze fell on Yin Yanhan and Qiong, who were left at the door by her. They were tall and straight, wearing golden masks, and he said in a bad tone, "How are you doing with the task that this Marshal has entrusted to you?"
Ai Wanxin sat down on the chair at the end of the long table and said leisurely, "Of course it's done."
Schnatter sneered and said, "Done? That's not what the Marshal heard."
What news did he hear? Ai Wan's mind raced, trying to figure out a way to get him to say something first.
She tilted her head and asked in confusion: "How can I lie to you about this? Yesterday——"
"Wait!" Schnatter frowned and shouted, "You guys get out first."
The two women immediately put down the plates in their hands and retreated quietly. When they went out, they closed the door of the lounge from the outside, finally isolating themselves from the man who was standing outside the door like a door god, with his oppressive gaze.
Schnatter then pulled the napkin off his neck and threw it on the table, impatiently saying, "What happened yesterday? Also, why is Atlas' son with you, and who is that red-haired girl?"
Ai Wanxin placed her hands on the armrests, crossed her fingers in front of her, sighed softly, and said, "Marshal, to be honest with you, I took over your commission yesterday and started running around, mediating between the leaders of various countries, vowing to build an 'obedient' coalition government for you."
"You know, this is not an easy task. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most difficult task in my career. The time is tight and the task is heavy. I dare not relax for a moment. The difficulties and obstacles in the process are countless. If I were to talk about it in detail, it would take three days and three nights to finish."
"But that's not important. I have promised to build an 'obedient' coalition government for the Marshal, and I will definitely do it."
"Even if I haven't had a single minute's rest or a single hot meal from yesterday till now, I won't bring it up."
“I know deeply that efforts without results can only move myself.”
"But when I finally had good news and was about to tell the Marshal, I found that the Marshal seemed to have a lot of opinions about me. Could it be that I was fighting hard outside, and some villains who only knew how to spread rumors were slandering me in the Marshal's ears?"
