Chapter 556 How unreasonable!

New main star, Maple Blue Castle, Speaker’s study.

Old Hans stared at the vast three-dimensional territory map of the Interstellar Federation in the center of the study, his brows tightly knitted.

Over the years, more and more galaxies have declared their secession from the Federation, and the Federation's territory has shrunk by 30% compared to its heyday.

The latest polls show that his average approval rating has fallen below 40%.

Old Hans knows the Federal Public Opinion Agency too well. If his approval rating is still within the safe range for re-election, they will find ways to raise it - this can influence some swing voters.

But if the real data shows that he has no hope of re-election - they will have to withdraw in a planned and rhythmic manner.

These cunning guys, no matter who becomes the Speaker of the Federation, they all have their own way of survival!

Old Hans cast his gaze to the edge of the star map, where a translucent sea-blue ring outlined by holographic lines represented the orbit of the earth in the past.

As the Earth disintegrated, the Sun's gravity and stellar winds tore the wreckage into a dangerous shatter zone of hurricane-like rock and metal fragments, with enough force to destroy any unprotected spacecraft that intruded or any planet that reappeared in orbit.

It took the Federation several years and a huge investment of resources to clear this orbit for the intact home planet Earth.

He even reached an agreement with the demons to allow them to live on Earth as federal citizens in the future.

After all, only they can make a planet travel through time and space.

But it's all worth it.

When that incomparable blue planet reappears in the Federation's star field, his crisis will be resolved.

As for the stubborn rebels who insist on interfering, let the starships they stole from the Federation become the dazzling fireworks for the Earth's brilliant return.

"Mr. Speaker, urgent military report from the front line."

Old Hans turned around and saw the Assistant for Federal Security Affairs walking in quickly.

Military news from the front? Old Hans' heart sank.

The First and Second Quadrant Fleets should still be on their way to the solar system at this time. Emergency military reports came from the front line before the battle even started. Did they encounter the rebels in advance?

"Speak." He said briefly.

"The acting commanders of the First and Second Quadrant Fleets sent messages at the same time, saying that they had received encrypted intelligence from the Marshal's flagship. The intelligence said that the rebels intended to ambush them at the Eclipse Fortress, and asked them to be careful."

Old Hans' eyes suddenly became sharp: "How did Schnatter know about the fleet's deployment?"

Apart from the senior generals of the Galactic Military Staff, only the two acting commanders of the First and Second Quadrant Fleets should know about this matter. The specific combat objectives will not be communicated to the fleets of each star region until the last moment.

So has Schnatter's hand already reached the Galactic Military Staff?

The security assistant carefully studied Speaker Hans's expression. How should he answer such a question?

He is also one of the few people who know the inside story. It would be a disaster for him to suspect anyone at this time. He is not that stupid.

In order to avoid this question, the security assistant whispered, "There is one more thing, Mr. Speaker. Earlier today, the signals of most ships in the Third Quadrant Fleet were interrupted. After the military investigated, they ruled out the possibility of technical failure or transmission failure. It is speculated that the fleet must have passed through the Void Star Vortex and entered another time and space."

Old Hans was so angry that veins on his forehead jumped: "Why are you reporting it now?"

The security assistant hung his head and said nothing. The Third Quadrant Fleet was commanded by the Navy Marshal himself, but there was no news of the large-scale mobilization. The military must find out what happened before reporting it. Otherwise, what if it was just a technical failure?

If they just report it casually and Schnatter finds out later, he will think that they are telling tales behind my back and I don't know how to deal with them.

This is not the time when the commander-in-chief was here. The subordinates just need to do their work, and the commander will take care of any big problems.

The military nowadays is so unloved that people always find fault with it for no reason. Of course, stability must be the top priority.

Old Hans also knew why, and the familiar feeling of powerlessness and anger came over him at the same time.

This was the case before. As the Speaker of the Senate, he was unable to command the invincible military force of the Interstellar Federation.

The fleet that was as easy to use as an arm in the woman's hands and could hit whatever she pointed at, but in his hands, it was as clumsy as a giant elephant.

Old Hans comforted himself that it had taken that woman hundreds of years to get her roots deeply rooted in every inch of the blood of the Galactic Expeditionary Force, and it was already very difficult for him to eradicate this cancer.

As long as he is given time, he will definitely be able to do what that woman can do.

Fortunately, the woman was already dead. Old Hans took a deep breath and put the matter of accountability aside for the time being.

The most important thing now is how to deal with Schnatter, who has become more powerful and dares to challenge him.

Before, Old Hans only thought that Schnatter was tempted by Atlas and planned to recruit rebels for the Earth Alliance to fight against the devil.

But that must happen after the Earth passes through the space-time channel. After all, Atlas is determined to join the Interstellar Federation.

By that time, the rebels and the demons will be defeated, and the fleet he sent will come down from the sky to turn the tide. What a perfect script.

But now, Schnatter has transferred the entire Third Quadrant Fleet to Earth. What else does he plan to do besides creating conditions for the rebels to jump from the Corona Ring?

Old Hans closed his eyes and reviewed Schnatter's actions.

He attempted to gain control of the Earth Alliance government.

He had secret dealings with the rebels, and the slippery rebels could even mobilize their entire army at his call.

He transferred the entire Third Quadrant Fleet to Earth, most likely to declare war on the demons on the other side of time and space.

He even had spies in the Galactic Military Staff, and after getting the top-secret battle plan, he actually passed it back as intelligence as if nothing had happened. He wanted to tell me that he already knew my plan and asked me not to act rashly.

A flash of lightning struck old Hans' mind, and he suddenly opened his eyes: he had previously thought that Schnatter was tempted by Atlas because Schnatter was a fat and stupid pig, but if he had always been pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, using the appearance of greed to cover up his dirty ambitions.

Then it all makes sense.

Schnatter wants to ruin Earth's plan to join the Interstellar Federation - he wants to make it impossible for me to be re-elected - he wants to take my place!

Old Hans was so angry that his hair stood on end. How could this be possible? How could this be possible!

"Convene the cabinet, now, immediately!" Old Hans gritted his teeth.

Originally, these front-line operations should have been discussed with the generals of the Galactic Military Staff, but among them there were Schnatter's spies, and it would take a while to find out who they were. Old Hans had to give up this idea and called all his most trusted ministers over.

This group of politicians who had never been on the battlefield for a single day studied and discussed over and over again, and finally decided: let the first and second quadrant fleets also pass through the void star vortex and enter the earth, remove Schnatter from his post as the Marshal of the Interstellar Federation Navy, and ensure the smooth implementation of the earth's time and space shuttle plan while annihilating the resistance army.
