"Forget it, man, those nobles only have their own interests in their eyes, and as for the future of the Federation, they don't care!" Frank is also helpless, as the president's chief thinker, he knows too many unknown secrets.

"Under the corrosion of these moths, the Federation is already very **, and now they have stretched their claws to the side of the army, aren't they afraid of accidents!?" Claude slammed his fist on the desk.

"Maybe they'd like the Union to split ......," Frank muttered as if talking to himself, but Claude beside him was struck by lightning!

"You...... What did you say!? Claude turned away in shock, staring at Frank with stunned eyes.

"My dear brother, not everyone thinks about everything like you." Frank sighed before continuing: "Hundreds of years ago, the countries on Earth were willing to abandon their prejudices and form a complete federation, mainly due to the opening of the Great Space Age, at that time, with the power of one country, it was impossible to go to deep space, so everyone had to unite together. ”

"But what about now? It has been hundreds of years since the beginning of the Great Aerospace Age, human footsteps are all over the Milky Way, and even radiate to the surrounding extragalactic galaxies, the development of science and technology has made people's ambitions begin to swell, and now many forces no longer need to cooperate with others, so how can they tolerate others to share their piece of the pie? Frank sighed.

"Hey!" Claude sighed as well, then closed his eyes.

……

Far away from several star fields, at this time, Qin Hao and Cohen had already received their respective promotion orders.

"Congratulations, sir, you have been promoted two levels in a row, maybe in a while, you will become a general!" Several combat staff officers beside Qin Hao said with a smile.

"Hehe, happy and happy, this is also the result of your help." Qin Hao smiled very modestly, along with his promotion order, there was also the commendation order of these officers, although they did not directly increase their ranks, they also received a lot of rewards, and the energy crystals they picked up before, the command department did not mention it, it was regarded as acquiescing to their private ownership.

Because he is not very sensitive to politics, Qin Hao is still quite happy, in his opinion, the promotion of more than a dozen disciples of the family for no reason has nothing to do with him, after all, everyone is a "relational household", and the promotion itself is easier than him.

But Cohen, who also received the promotion order, didn't have a happy expression at all.

"Congratulations, old man, Admiral of the Federation!" At the end of the season, Love was the first to send a congratulatory message.

"Hehe, it's just a formality, at most, it's just a little more salary, this time there are seven family members who were promoted with me, those wastes don't know anything at all, and now they are all generals, so I don't have as much say in the command as before!" Cohen sighed and said that although he was already a general at this time, the leadership of the presidential faction in the military had been further lost.

"There's no way to do it, in the past few hundred years, those aristocratic families have been encroaching on the rights of the president, from the beginning the parliament was only used to check and balance the president, and now the president has no power, isn't this all operated by those aristocratic families?" Episode Loof also sighed, although Cohen was put on the table, he was even worse, as the oldest general in the Union Army, he was still only a major general.

"Hmph, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that the position of president will be abolished, and then the entire federation will be controlled by these gate lords and nobles." Admiral Cohen clenched his fists and said, although he was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.

"Forget it, let's just take care of ourselves!" At the end of the season, Love sighed.

"Hey!" Admiral Cohen shook his head helplessly, and then after cutting off the communication, he silently said to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "This federation is rotten, maybe it's time for a change......

"My lord, change requires sacrifice...... adjutant said next to Admiral Cohen, who was the man Cohen trusted the most, so Cohen didn't hide anything from him.

"Sacrifice? If I can save the Federation, then I am willing to be the victim of this! Admiral Cohen said with a serious face.

"General, this kind of sacrifice is not only life, but may also bear the infamy of being spurned forever!" The adjutant said with a worried expression.

"So what? Even if it is incomprehensible by the world, even if it will be infamous for eternity, but the Federation is already sick, and someone must scrape its bones and heal its wounds, and I am willing to be this person! Admiral Cohen said, looking at the starry sky outside the porthole.

The adjutant of the "General......" did not speak, and for some reason, he seemed to see a glimmer of divine light from the back of Admiral Cohen, perhaps this is the charm of a great man or a pioneer.

……

"Pass my order and let Colonel Qin Hao return to the fleet to report on his work!" After a long silence, Admiral Cohen said to the adjutant.

"Yes! Checkmate! The adjutant nodded, and passed the order to the base of Drak Canyon.

"What? Tell me to debrief now? Qin Hao was stunned after receiving the order, he had just received the promotion order here, and he was going to let the cooks add food to celebrate with everyone.

"Yes! Right away! Admiral Cohen's adjutant said.

"Okay, you can arrange for the landing craft to pick me up." Qin Hao nodded, and then explained the matter at hand to the adjutant and a few combat staff officers, and then took the landing craft to the flagship of the Seventh Fleet, the Federation Glory.

"General, are you looking for me?" On the bridge of the Federation Glory, Qin Hao met Admiral Cohen.

"Hehe, yes, you're already a colonel, and you're promoted much faster than I thought." Admiral Cohen laughed.

"It's all up to you, General." Qin Hao said with a smile, and then he briefly reported the matter of the base of Draco Canyon to Admiral Cohen.

"Okay, it's not a big deal to call you back today, let's talk." Admiral Cohen waved his hand, he didn't really ask Qin Hao to come back to report on his work.

"Yes!" Qin Hao nodded, and then left the bridge with Cohen.

Originally, Qin Hao thought that Cohen would take him to the conference room, but he didn't expect Cohen to take him directly to the cafeteria, and then entered a small private room used by senior officers.

Soon, a few simple drinks and two bottles of wine were served, and then Admiral Cohen personally filled Qin Hao with a glass.
