"I have noticed the movements of your majestic group in the past twenty days or so. ”

Liu Wei stood on the side of a holographic military map and looked at 'Zhang Changzhi' on the opposite side: "It seems that you also know the situation of the Gaoting People's Expeditionary Force, right?"

"Know a little bit about it!"

Zhang Xinwei bowed his head: "A fleet of up to 500,000 will invade the Columbus Star Domain within a month, right?"

"I have to say, your intelligence channels are really strong. Although the top level of the entire Earth Federation has now learned about the situation of the Gaoting people, it really surprised me that the Weiyan Group reacted more than twenty days ago. But I don't think you must know that this is only the first batch of expeditionary forces, the second batch of fleets of the Gaoting people, has already set off from their homeland. ”

Liu Wei was stunned when he saw 'Zhang Changzhi', obviously surprised, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If the latter could even know this top-secret information, then he would have to consider a purge within the MIA.

"The second batch totals 350,000 warships, and most of them have already been completed, taking into account the temporary transport stations and fortresses along the way. Their arrival in the Earth Federation would not be much later than the first fleet, which had already departed two months earlier. ”

"It's just—it's amazing!"

Zhang Xin was indeed shocked, after all, Ye Ruo had not been able to learn about this so far.

- This is because of the 'Goddess of Fate', in order to avoid this artificial intelligence life, Ye Ruo is now restricted in many ways.

He didn't know what to say for a while, the 500,000 fleet was already an unbearable burden for the Earth Federation. If that number were to increase to 850,000, it would probably be a disaster.

"High Court people, this is something we have never considered between us! It is really a great blow to our Earth Federation. ”

Liu Wei sighed slightly: "I already have a hunch that once the news about the Gaoting people leaks out, the People's Front will definitely lose miserably in the midterm elections." ”

Zhang Xin couldn't help but twitch the corners of his lips, considering the recent vicious fights and conflicts between the Popular Front and the Federal Order Party, it was almost inevitable that this news would leak.

But it is impossible to say that the Popular Front will suffer a crushing defeat.

You must know that most of the senators and House seats in the Earth Federation are now in the hands of large consortia and family nobles.

For example, Guangcheng and Yingzhou Star Field, if they did not have the support of the Weiyan Group, the hope of those candidates winning was slim.

So the seats of these MPs are almost fixed. And today's 'Popular Front' is supported by nearly forty percent of the plutocracy of the Earth Federation.

Now there are only those that are likely to change, and the free star fields and colonial star fields that have not yet been controlled by the big chaebols.

However, in this general election, not all the members will be replaced, only one-third of the members will be replaced. Zhang Xin estimated that the People's Front would lose only 20 to 30 seats at most.

However, for Liu Wei personally, the loss of 20 parliamentarians can already be regarded as a huge loss. This will be a huge blow to his prestige within the party, and he will also face a challenge from the leaders within the 'Popular Front'.

- although this will not affect the status of the ruling party of the Popular Front.

Thinking about it this way, most of the people in the High Court also have some degree of collusion with the internal Earth Federation, and this timing is too coincidental.

"Your Excellency the President is so pessimistic that this is only a temporary setback. I think that if the propaganda can keep up, and this government can achieve outstanding results in the next Great Patriotic War, it should not be difficult to get re-elected. ”

"I hope so—"

Liu Wei smiled bitterly, clearly not holding out too much hope, and then pointed to the military map.

"As far as I know, the Weiyan Group is preparing to prepare a fleet of 50,000 this time? I want to know, can your fleet be deployed to defend the Columbus Domain?"

"It can't be!"

Zhang Xin's tone was resolute, leaving no room for discussion: "Mr. President, after all, this is a local fleet, a non-governmental organization in Yingzhou and Guangcheng Star Domain, formed to protect the security of the local area. If we are transferred to the Columbus Star Domain, then who will guarantee our safety? Even if I personally agree, the people of Yingzhou and Guangcheng Star Domain will never agree. ”

Liu Wei couldn't help but sigh, he also knew that this possibility was slim.

"What about the Cartier Star Field? This is the throat to the heart of the Earth Federation, if you can hold Cartier, then the safety of both Yingzhou and Guangcheng can be guaranteed. ”

"This plan, I am not unavoidable, but the premise is that the Bundeswehr can mobilize more than 400,000 warships to the Cartier star field within a month, and has the ability to defend and fight. Your Excellency, you can't count on our civilian fleet to defend against the advance of the High Court people. ”

Zhang Xin was also looking at the military map in front of him, and found that there were still some lines representing the route and small red and blue dots representing the fleet.

- This is obviously a remnant of a military exercise, and the red side, which represents the side of the Earth Federation, has not considered building a defense line in the Cartier star field at all. The Levantine star field behind is the ideal sniper place of the military department.

"Marshal Cologne said to me that we need to trade space for time. Our warships need time to produce, and personnel need to be trained. In addition to the High Court people, we also have to resist the attack of the Dragon Moon people. ”

Liu Wei shook his head, and then looked at Zhang Xin again: "Then the Shenwei Zhang Clan, is it sure to hold the Yingzhou Star Domain? Cologne also told me that if there is a large-scale fleet nailed to Yingzhou, it will be a huge threat to the flank of the Gaoting people. I need your fleet to attack the Cartier field at certain special times. ”

Zhang Xin couldn't help frowning: "To be able to hold Yingzhou, I have already done my best." I don't think Your Excellency the President wants to have more lost ground outside of Cartier and Columbus, do you?"

Although he has a plan to fight back at some point, he will never promise anything at this time.

"I know you're going to build three paramilitary forts—"

If you are talking about the second batch of expeditionary forces of the High Court, it does exist. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Xin's face turned a little blue. The battle plan he had drawn up before was only based on the enemy's fleet of 500,000.

The corners of Liu Weize's lips twitched slightly: "Five? It's not impossible, if the Weiyan Group promises to demolish them after the war." ”

"It can't be!"

Zhang Xin still didn't give in: "Unless it's the Earth Federation, which can give us satisfactory compensation." We will only be able to demolish a maximum of two, but of course the other three forts will remove the curvature jammers and restore the status of the transport station. ”

"The matter of demolition can wait until after the end of the war!"

Liu Wei rubbed his forehead with a headache, he knew the difficulty of this lord of divine power.

"Let's get back to business, considering that the enemy is near, in three days' time, I will submit a bill to Congress in the near future on emergency war appropriations. By using the national treasury reserves and issuing national bonds, 1.7 trillion to 2.3 trillion federal dollars were raised for the next Great Patriotic War. ”
