Qiu Deyi is like a reins on a group of wild horses to the captains of NO. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info When Feng Yu slashed the NO fleet headquarters with one sword, the captains of the fleet no longer had to suppress their fear of the "storm", and they no longer had to force themselves to stay on the dangerous battlefield because of the suppression of the fleet commander.

NO is not a country, but an interest group, and every member has interests. This organization does not have the kind of background and atmosphere that allows the soldiers under its command to fight to the end without fear of hardships and dangers, and the soldiers are all mercenaries, and they go to the battlefield to earn military salaries, not to defend their families and the country.

Mercenaries are a very realistic group, bullying the weak and fearing the hard, and they do not accept the task of sending them to death. Although they make a living by tying their heads to the crotch of their pants, it doesn't mean that they are here to die, and they must have a life to make money. If the command is defeated, the fleet is defeated, and no one wants to come out at such a time to turn the tide. And to take a step back, even if someone jumps out, the other captains won't buy him.

Nearly a hundred warships all completed the U-turn in a matter of minutes, scrambling to escape from this star field along the main channel.

Behind these warships, NO's mobile suits, although still dominant, have no fighting spirit.

The war of the space age is so brutal, although the mobile suit has risen strongly and become the absolute main force in the space battlefield, but it lacks the ability to travel faster than light, and they cannot do without the support of warships. Once they lose their means of transportation, the pilots are trapped in the airspace. If you don't surrender, your opponent doesn't have to kill them, just leave them here and starve them to death in a few days.

So when the GMP people took the lead in ceasefire and surrendered, those ordinary pilots did not hesitate to announce their surrender. Just like the Second Battle of the AN Barrier two years ago, the entire airspace was filled with mobile suits flashing white signal lights and repeatedly typing the word "surrender" with a clear light signal.

Speaking of which, a considerable number of these pilots who surrendered participated in the Second Battle of the Barrier. Awa-ker is not a terrorist organization, and it is impossible to kill these pilots or send prisoners of war to Kimek as test subjects for GMP projects like the UAC, so they can only be released.

After Awa-Ker's victory in the Second Battle of the AN Barrier two years ago, the pilots who were captured at the time were all released after a period of detention for identity checks. As I just said, most of NO's pilots are mercenaries, these people have the nationality of various countries, and even have military experience, and the possibility of core members of NO is basically ruled out among ordinary pilots. Basically, those retired aces and retired quasi-aces who serve as high-end combat forces are just for money.

As a result, some of the pilots who were released did not want to continue to be the enemy of the "Storm" and chose to retire for the second time, while the other part was hired again to participate in the third battle of the Barrier.

Such a mercenary fleet, if not overwhelmingly superior in strength, would certainly be inferior to Awa-ker's "Storm Blue" fleet in all respects. Therefore, when the chain of command is destroyed, it is a foregone conclusion that there will be successive routs.

It's just that this time, these surrendered pilots Fengyu did not plan to release them, because Awa-Ker's next opponent will be the superpower of the UAC Federation, not a businessman-dominated organization like NO. The Storm Blue fleet needs more forces to close the gap with the UAC.

After instructing Groningen to guard and treat the surrendered pilots well, Fengyu returned to the Awa-Ker headquarters with Captain Morgan. Here, a memory that will decide the fate of the awa-ker and the awakened and even all of humanity is about to take place.

Speaking of which, Fengyu has been a member of Awa-ker for 5 years, and he has been a director for nearly 4 years, but he has not met all 12 directors until now. There was even one councillor he never had the chance to see again: Zabar, the former minister of paramilitary operations.

The death of SC0106 is the third director to die since Feng Yu joined the organization, following the former Minister of Logistics Anderson and the former Minister of Security Ding Cheng who were killed at the submarine base.

When it comes to the seniority of the twelve directors, although Fengyu is the youngest, his seniority in the council is not the bottom, not to mention his influence, directly inheriting and surpassing the two late directors Zabal and Ding Cheng.

The ranking of the 12 directors is based on the order in which they became directors, and in addition to Chairman Edward, who should be the chief, the second is Captain Morgan, who has always wanted to retire.

The old man is 75 years old, which is not very old in this era. With the development of medical and health undertakings, cell telomere lengthening technology has delayed human aging, and the retirement age of public officials, private enterprises and non-governmental organizations in various countries has been adjusted to 80 years old. He had been in the Awa-ker position for 29 years, and if it weren't for the trust and readiness to hand over the work at hand to Douglas, Captain Morgan would have been in that position for another five years.

Now Douglas's defection has left him without a successor and has to hold out for another five years. Provided, of course, that the awa-ker does not split.

Compared to Captain Morgan, Edward, the 59-year-old Awa-ker at the helm, can only rank third in seniority. He has been a member of the board of directors for 24 years and has been in the position of chairman for 13 years.

After the two, in fourth place is the Minister of Commerce and Trade, Leonardo, 63, who has been a member of the Awa-Ker Council for 21 years. Like Captain Morgan, he is a UAC member.

Originally, the Awakened Council from the UAC Federation held a total of three seats, and the other was the late Logistics Minister Anderson. But despite the small number of UAC directors, Leonardo's influence alone is worth two or three other directors, because he holds the economic lifeblood of Awa-ker.

In terms of the influence of the twelve directors of Awa-ker, the first is naturally Edward, the chairman of the board, the second is Leonardo, who holds the financial power, and the infinite scenery can only be ranked third. This is not difficult to understand, just like the state, the military unit is just the state apparatus, and the economy is the lifeblood of the country.

So don't look at the small number of UAC members, no one dares to ignore Leonardo's opinion on how to treat the UAC Federation. Unlike Fengyu, who listened to the old man's suggestion and did not directly release the information on the GMP project of the UAC Federation because he respected Captain Morgan, the other directors really had to consider Leonardo's position to make a decision.

Captain Morgan only has Awa-Ker's intelligence power in the UAC Federation, and now it has been weakened to the extreme due to the "Great Evacuation" and the "Awakened Act". So even though the old man is currently the first patriarch of the Council, his opinion will become less weighty.

And if Leonardo's basic demands are not met, it will mean that the interests of the awakened business community behind him will be damaged. Once Leonardo takes the opposite side of the awa-ker and takes away the business groups that have been providing financial support for the day-to-day operations of the organization, the financial resources of the organization will be half of the original at most, and it will be a real rupture.

No one can afford such consequences.

In addition to Leonardo, Fengyu's opinion is equally decisive. Everyone knows that the Awa-ker without the "Storm" simply simply does not have the ability to contend with the NO, let alone the much stronger UAC Federation. And compared to Leonardo, who is a UAC member, Fengyu, who has fled from New Asia, is even more selfless, so his opinion will be more objective.

Of course, in addition to these two people, the other directors also have important influence, controlling various key departments of Awa-ker.

First of all, the fourth-ranked Minister of Human Resources Reserves, Alessandro, the new EU director is 62 years old and has been in office for 18 years, and is in charge of the training system of the awakened, which can be said to be full of protégés. Even the warship commanders and pilots of the "Storm Blue" fleet under Fengyu were, in a sense, once disciples of Alisandro.

Then there is Situ Hui, the Minister of Membership Management of the Earth Federation. Don't look at her before she is 50 years old, but she has been a director for 13 years. Because her awakening ability is social, she has a wide range of contacts in the Earth Federation, and she also has the information of all the awakened, and she is faintly able to compete with Leonardo.

If Awa-Ker really faces a split, and Leonardo cannot unify his interests and organization because of his interests, then Situ Hui will take over the remaining part of the industry and the Awakened business group.

After these few, there are the other four intelligence officers in addition to Captain Morgan, and their influence is basically equal.

The most senior is the New Africa Intelligence Officer, Zuabi, who is ranked second among all the directors in terms of seniority. In SC0080, at the age of 42, he became the intelligence officer and director of the new African region of Awa-ker as a new African awakener, and has been in office for 28 years now.

Unfortunately, the New African Kingdom perished in the third year after he became a director, and although he remained a New African citizen, the intelligence precinct overlapped with other intelligence officers, and was considered the least influential of all the intelligence officers.

And it is very likely that after his retirement or death, the position of intelligence officer of the new African system of Awa-Ker may be abolished, as is the case with the Department of Paramilitary Operations. The intelligence of the New African System will be divided between the regional intelligence officers of the three countries that actually occupy the system.

After Zuabi, the second most senior is the new EU intelligence officer Dragowski, a 57-year-old EU citizen who has been a director for 12 years and wields Awa-Ker's intelligence in the New European Galaxy.

The third is Zhou Wu, who knew Fengyu at the earliest, a new Asian, 45 years old and an 11-year director.

The fourth is Sherlock, a member of the Earth Federation, 43 years old and 10 years of directors.

These are all senior directors than Fengyu, and there are two more after him.

The current Minister of Logistics, Clegg, is a member of the new European Union and represents the scientific research system among the awakened. Although he was by-elected as a director on the same day as Fengyu, the order is after Fengyu, and his influence is not as good as that of this young man.

The last one is Groningen, the commander of the "Storm Blue" fleet who was by-elected after the death of Zabar, the minister of paramilitary operations, who has been on the board for less than two years, and has also limited influence as Fengyu's deputy.

Now, the twelve directors are about to gather at the Awa-ker headquarters, and the vote on the absolute fate is about to begin.
