One thousand four hundred forty-three
Old Man Qiu did have speculations about the chaos of the Federation, and he even expected that this negotiation would not go smoothly.
But what he didn't expect was that things would go so bad in the end.
The precursor of war came so suddenly, and the timing was so coincidental.
He only remembered that not long ago, he was still telling Qiu Shaofeng that the Federation was likely to have a war with the Alliance, but he didn't expect it to come true so soon!
In fact, when the last negotiation was going on, Old Man Qiu even thought that his original plan was going to fail, and no one expected that such an accident would happen in the end.
Or, it is not right to say that it was accidental, but it should be more precise.
Old Man Qiu had long guessed that this negotiation would not go smoothly, even if there would be no accidents during the negotiation, but after the negotiation, even if the Human Federation had really joined the Universe Alliance, it would definitely clash with other universe races in the future, which could be said to be an inevitable development result. The battle between the Human Federation and the Cosmic Race will still happen, it's just a matter of time.
After the outbreak of the war, people will not remember the glory when Marshal Zhou led the Human Federation to join the Universe Alliance, but will only remember that it was Marshal Zhou who brought the Human Federation into the Universe Alliance, which led to a series of wars behind the Human Federation.
To be honest, this war is inevitable no matter what, compared to breaking out after joining the Universe Alliance, Old Man Qiu thinks it's better to break out at this time.
Although he also has selfish intentions, it is inevitable that he will be more partial to the Qiu family in some things, but Marshal Zhou is also his student after all, and it is normal for people not to want students to be infamous for a lifetime because of this.
Another thing that Old Man Qiu didn't expect was that the fuse that triggered this war was not the conflict between the cosmic races and the Human Federation, but an inexplicable interstellar pirate that appeared out of nowhere.
To say that the interstellar pirates inadvertently attacked that peaceful race, not to mention that Old Man Qiu didn't believe it, even the general public couldn't believe it.
Therefore, they must have premeditated their attack on that peaceful race, and their purpose may be to interrupt the negotiations between the human federation and the high-level of the cosmic alliance, or it may be to cause confrontation between the cosmic race and the human federation.
But no matter what their original purpose was, now that the effect has come out, so many cosmic races are resisting the Human Federation, and a war is poised to break out.
Three days later, the two sides were able to maintain this situation for a period of time, but I don't know if the mastermind behind the scenes was really anxious, just when those cosmic races were still in the stage of resisting the Human Federation, another interstellar pirate attacked another peaceful race.
This time, the behavior of this interstellar pirate was even more blatant, they did not hide their malice at all, and directly launched a large-scale attack weapon against that peaceful race, and for a while, the life on the entire planet experienced what the fear of death was.
Such a big thing happened to this peaceful race, and the Universe Alliance naturally received the news quickly, and almost immediately, the Universe Alliance sent a fleet to support.
It's just that the interstellar pirates are very cunning, and they fled before the reinforcements of the Cosmic Alliance arrived.
This made the members of the Universe Alliance, who were holding back their anger, more and more angry, and then a current affairs report on this matter also appeared on the Star Network of the Universe Alliance, so the voice of boycotting the Human Federation in the Universe Alliance became louder and louder.
Some cosmic races with already fiery temperaments even directly assembled their fleets, and they were about to attack the Human Federation.
At this time, the only few lords and factions in the high-level of the Universe Alliance could not play a role, and in this situation where it can almost be said that the whole people are angry, war is already inevitable.
Otherwise, how should the Universe Alliance account for the two persecuted peaceful races, and how should it account for the vast universe races.
Therefore, after receiving the news that some races had sent a fleet to fight on the side of the Human Federation, the high-level leaders of the Cosmic Alliance did not stop it, on the contrary, they also discussed how to make this war more beautiful.
After all, they didn't come back when they went to talk to the Human Federation before, and this time it happened to be a lesson for the Human Federation.
Facts have proved that there is never an immutable position in this world, even if one moment they are still friendly and imagining a harmonious and win-win future, the next moment they may turn against each other because of a little interest.
This is the case with the current Human Federation and the Cosmic Alliance.
The horn of war has been sounded, and at this time, Marshal Zhou has to cheer up and deal with no matter how much headache he has.
In the past, when the citizens of the Cosmic Alliance only resisted the Human Federation, Marshal Zhou had secretly summoned the generals and ordered the garrisons throughout the Federation to strengthen their vigilance.
At the same time, an order was issued to investigate the movements of the Cosmic Alliance.
I thought it was just a matter of preparedness, but I didn't expect that in just three days, all this became necessary.
At this time, it is impossible for the news to be hidden from the general public.
After all, the war between the Cosmic Alliance and the Human Federation can never be just a small war, this war is likely to last for a long time, and the people of the Federation will know sooner or later, rather than waiting for the news to completely break out and make the general public panic, it is better to tell the news first so that the general public can be psychologically prepared.
At this time, Marshal Zhou remembered Qiu Shaofeng.
Qiu Shaofeng has always been a representative of the military propaganda department, Qiu Shaofeng has always spoken on behalf of the military, and the people have accepted it very well by him, even if it is some disastrous speeches, the people can quickly calm down under Qiu Shaofeng's comfort.
This time the news is also a disastrous statement, Marshal Zhou thinks that his status in the eyes of the people may not be as good as Qiu Shaofeng, but fortunately, Qiu Shaofeng is now also serving in the army, although the army has changed, but as long as he is still in the army, he can be mobilized.
After sorting out the content of his speech, Marshal Zhou contacted the garrison where Qiu Shaofeng was.
Soon, the garrison troops found Qiu Shaofeng, and after explaining the situation to Qiu Shaofeng, Qiu Shaofeng also readily agreed.
So, soon, the whole federation saw that the long-lost wind Shao appeared in public again.
I haven't seen him for more than two years, Qiu Shaofeng originally had a trace of immature gaze and deepened, and his facial lines looked much more serious, the only thing that hasn't changed is probably his temperament, elegant and noble, even a look with dignity.
