Chapter 535 Stepping Stone
Chapter 535 Stepping Stone
Ai Wanxin raised her eyelashes and looked back at the furious Schnatter quietly.
Schnatter felt his back crawling when he was looked at. He couldn't understand how a small mercenary could have such a strong pressure.
Just as he was about to explode, he heard Ai Wanxin chuckle and said in a calm voice: "Marshal, you have questioned me many times since I walked into this room."
"I have said it many times before. I am the world's leading mercenary. Before the end of the world, I have completed countless difficult missions that ordinary people could hardly imagine."
"Perfectly completing the task and getting out safely is what I rely on to make a living."
"If the Marshal is still worried about these minor details, then I don't have to do this commission."
“Although high risks bring high rewards, challenging difficult tasks also brings me great spiritual pleasure.”
Ai Wanxin paused, stood up and said, "But I have passed the stage where I need to endure a bad working environment and picky clients."
"Goodbye." She nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards the door.
Seeing her hand on the golden door handle inlaid with red gems, Schnatter shouted anxiously: "Wait!"
Ai Wanxin opened the door a little, and Yin Yanhan and Qiong outside the door turned their eyes to her at the same time.
Ai Wanxin winked at them cunningly, and heard Schnatter behind him reluctantly say: "Forget it, that's really not important. Go on, you saw the evil... lizardman army, and then, what are your plans?"
Ai Wanxin then let go of her hand, turned around, and said, "To be honest, Marshal, although I don't know what they want to do, they look like they are not here to make friends with us."
"Marshal, I have carefully calculated that the number of soldiers surviving from various countries on Earth is about one million."
"After I take down the Earth Alliance for you and elect a suitable leader, I suggest that the leader call on all the allied nations to jointly send troops to form a global defense alliance army, which will be commanded by the leader, that is, you, to resist the incoming lizard army."
Schnatter narrowed his eyes and pondered over Ai Wanxin's words calmly.
Ai Wanxin added: "However, due to the previous super typhoons and rainstorms and floods around the world, the naval fleets and air forces of most countries have been wiped out. So I suggest that after forming the Global Defense Alliance Army, we find a way to take back the ships and mechas in Atlas' hands and strengthen our army."
"I am confident that I can make the Lizardman army have no chance of returning, and become a stepping stone for our Earth Alliance government to become famous and powerful in the Interstellar Federation!"
Schnatter rolled his eyes habitually: "What good can your troops and the few ships in Atlas' hands do?"
Ai Wanxin's eyes revealed confusion at the right time.
Schnatter waved his hand and said, "You don't think that I, the Admiral of the Interstellar Federation Navy, am just like you poor earthlings, with only a few scraps of copper and iron under my control, do you?"
He raised his chin proudly again: "It's time to show you the true strength of the Federation Navy."
Watching Ai Wanxin's back as she walked away, Schnatter, with his round belly puffed out, thought complacently: In just a short while, he has figured out the whole story and even planned ten steps ahead. How can one describe how wise and brave he is?
It is said that those who are not of my race must have different hearts. Those demons appear to be obedient and docile on the surface, but in fact, they may want to catch the Federal Navy off guard when he is not paying attention.
Old Hans is confused and stupid, and he let the wolf into the house. Once the devil attacks and the war reignites, his defeat in the new election will be a foregone conclusion.
It is better to rely on yourself than on others. If you rely on the mountain, the mountain will be empty; if you rely on others, you will fall. Old Hans can sit in the position of Speaker, so why can't he, the dignified Admiral of the Navy, sit in it?
That woman was right. Let the demon army become a stepping stone for Marshal Schnatter to become famous and establish his power!

The golden sunlight of dawn dispelled the thick darkness on the sea. After a night of decoration, the multi-purpose hall of Jon's command ship, the Blue Crystal, was transformed from a semicircular conference hall that could accommodate hundreds of people.
A whole transparent light curtain was set up in a position far away from the gate. The huge national emblem of the Interstellar Federation was shining with a cold silver light against the deep blue background of the light curtain.
In front of the light curtain was a titanium silver metal podium with a simple and smooth shape, and the front of the podium was also engraved with the national emblem of the Interstellar Federation.
Facing the light curtain and the podium are concentric circular representative seats, with nameplates of the corresponding countries displayed on the table.
There was not a single unnecessary decoration in the entire venue, which was very much in line with Jon's aesthetic and style.
On the second floor of the circular venue is a semi-circle conference room inlaid with one-way glass.
Ai Wanxin stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass, looking down at the press conference venue below her feet and the representatives from various countries who were arriving one after another.
President Jeon Jung-woo of Gaodanro and Crown Prince Caesar of the Silver Empire took their seats one after another. The new Pope Capello, who announced that he would pray for the late Pope for three days, also appeared with members of the Holy Ring Papal States.
Soon, the seats for almost every country were occupied, with only the first row remaining empty.
That is the position reserved for Yan, the world's largest country.
"Xinxin..."
A familiar voice with hidden worry came from behind. Ai Wanxin turned to look at Yan Shupei and Yi Shenshou who was supporting him, and said with slightly curved eyes: "Teacher, Senior Brother Yi."
When they were rescued before, Ai Wanxin had already treated Yan Shupei. Now, after a day and a night of adjustment and rest, the haggard and sickly look on Yan Shupei's face has disappeared.
He changed into a clean shirt and casual pants. Apart from the fact that he was extremely thin and it would take some time for him to get back to normal, he looked fine otherwise.
"Xinxin." Yan Shupei's eyes passed over Ai Wanxin's shoulder and fell on the circular conference hall downstairs. He said worriedly, "Feng Jingyi didn't kill me before because he wanted me to make a false confession for him so that he could put the matter of the secondary evolution potion on you."
"Now that the classmates have been rescued and he is under your control, why do you still want him to issue a declaration of exile?"
"Xinxin." Yan Shupei said worriedly, "This is not Yan Country. Representatives from so many countries are here. They have all dealt with Feng Jingyi before the end of the world. What if he persuades them, or something goes wrong? How will it end?"
"I know you have your own plans, but a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Why do you want to make trouble?"
