Marshall was a very characteristic person. This person has a strong desire and has a high level of self-control and resilience, and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. As a politician, everything he did was to become the chairman of the board, and when he got his wish to sit in a high position, he felt a little overwhelmed.

He began to become complacent, trying to preserve his position, befriending celebrities, secretly spying on the council members for information, and using all means to secure his re-election.

Includes monitoring the Washington conference room in Paraná.

Now he even had some doubts that one of Paraná or Zhang Chuanlan would rely on the support of the Apocalypse to compete for the position of chairman. Ordinary Marshall was quite discerning and would never have such an idea. But once one reaches the top of the mountain, the fear of falling into the valley arises, and the fear breeds doubt, and the doubt deepens the fear.

The fact that these two fleet commanders had skipped him and made a direct decision made him feel that his power had been hollowed out, and he felt very uncomfortable. He enjoyed and was used to the feeling of being in power, and as soon as something got out of his control, he felt weak.

"There are absolutely good people in this world, but there are no absolute bad people." Paraná said to Lina that the two were heading aboard the Hunter toward the Joint Council headquarters, and it was already early the next morning. Paraná didn't sleep well at night, and had been thinking about the words to deal with Marshall.

"Marshall was by no means a good man, but we had to persuade him to set up a fleet command and elect a commander-in-chief. He was simply not qualified for the post of commander-in-chief of the fleet, even if only in name. It is clear that it is very stupid to let such a person become the supreme commander of the army. ”

Although Marshall cannot be blamed entirely for the loss of half of the earth's military strength, after all, even if the three fleets stay in the dockyard honestly, they can't hide from Motriti's sharp blade. However, it is always a fact that he underestimated the enemy's rash advance, and besides, his strategic command in the battle for the defense of the earth was not brilliant, but it was only a division of troops to resist, and even a sergeant could come up with such a solution.

"Hey, don't preach to me. I look like a child, but I've lived for 5,000 years. “

"Didn't you say that the year of the apocalypse is the third year of the earth, then wouldn't you ......?"

"Ahaha, that's not it, I'm talking to you about your Earth Year."

"Cut, look at you, you look like you're completely simple-minded...... I can't tell that I have so many years of experience. Paraná quipped.

"It's good that the big mage has a mind or something, who called me just the chief of his subordinates, hum." Lena turned her head, looking very unconvinced.

Barana was curious about the difference between the Grand Magister and the Chief Magister, and after asking, he learned that the Grand Magister was the supreme commander of the magic force equivalent to the level of the Great General, and the so-called Chief was the order of the troops under his command in order of strength and weakness. Even so, Lena was also the second-ranked magister in the Apocalypse Empire, and Barana couldn't help but be in awe of the little girl in front of her.

Marshall didn't expect Parana to come with Lena. In his eyes, the young commander was just a young child in politics, and he was not at all on the same level. He was not opposed to an expedition to Davion, but he had his own considerations. He believed that the use of the power of the Apocalypse to cut off Chriselis would bring him more votes. On the one hand, Davion, who has not done any real harm to the earth and the people are unaware of it, and on the other hand, Chriselis, who has been fighting against humanity for nearly a hundred years, can also figure out that of course, killing the latter will improve his reputation. History will record that under the leadership of the wise and great Chairman Marshall, Chriselis was completely wiped out, and mankind was no longer at war in the solar system. He himself will forever go down in history with this unprecedented achievement. Thinking of this, he himself couldn't help but chuckle.

But he didn't think about whether humanity would be able to maintain its current unity after Chrisselis was wiped out. Moreover, he even wanted to conceal Davion's threat in order to get the populace to agree to attack Chrisselis. At that point, the Joint Council may fall apart and go back to the old ways. Marshall should have understood the truth of being born in sorrow and dying in peace, but he was already carried away by the possible accomplishments.

"There's an artifact in the hands of the Davians." As if feeling that Marshall had not grasped the meaning of each word, Paraná emphasized it again.

"But we have two." Marshall responded to Paraná with a mechanical smile on his ballot call, "Davion poses no real threat to us. ”

The two had been talking for a long time, and Marshall was stubborn and didn't want to change his mind. Where would Parana know what Marshall was having, and he felt that Marshall was extremely stupid. If it was Zhang Chuanlan, he should be able to see through Marshall's mind at a glance.

Five thousand years of experience didn't seem to have taught Lena how to be an adult, and she didn't know how to convince Marshall. She snapped her fingers suddenly, startling them both, and just as she was about to ask what she was doing, two mirror-like objects appeared on the table.

"Take a look, Lord Chairman."

Barana burst out laughing, thinking it was funny that Marshall was called an adult. Lena glared, and he immediately restrained his smile.

"What is this?" Paraná tried to make himself look as serious as possible.

"Real-time intelligence from the Davion Empire and Chrisseris. However, this magic will only last for a while, and it will be discovered after a while. ”

Parana looked closely at the two magic mirrors, and the palace of Obsidian seemed to be in the court, while the surface of Chrisselis was silent, and not a single insect could be seen.

"It's ...... Where are all Chrisselis' troops? Marshall was a little confused.

Paraná sighed, the chairman didn't know anything about Chrisselis. Because of his status, he still had to explain to Marshall: "Chrissles' various organisms have the ability to burrow into the ground to hibernate so that they can conserve energy, and in addition, evolving individuals will also form cocoons underground. ”

He went on to explain: "That is, unless all of Chrissles' ground forces are on the ships—which is not possible, of course—they are in a state of contraction defense. ”

"Wouldn't that be easier?" Marshall seemed even more irrational, "Send a small fleet to perform a fusion strike on the Cresser, and you can wipe them all out." ”

"With all due respect, Chairman. Only the central killing effect of a nuclear bomb can pose a threat to bugs underground. And the heat energy in the periphery has little effect on the bugs. And to carry out such an ultra-high-density fusion strike, at least four fleets are needed. And it is necessary to clear the enemy fleet on the periphery first. Paraná tried to convince Marshall with reality.

"Attacking Chrisselis is not a sure win. But attacking Davian was different. We are sure to persuade some of Davion's princes to defect, thus creating a very favorable balance of power for us. ”

Marshall looked at the resolute Paraná, then at Lina, who opened the magic mirror and sat on the side and didn't know what to play, and sighed.

"Alright, then you go back and get ready, and give me a written plan. I went to a press conference to explain the situation to the people. ”

"Wait a minute, Director. I have another proposal...... We need to form a combined fleet command and appoint a commander-in-chief. Barana hesitated, but then said it bluntly.

Marshall's worst fears appeared, but after all, he was scheming, and asked quietly, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

Paraná didn't expect Marshall to push the question to him, so he paused for a moment and replied, "The joint council will deliberate and decide from among the current generals." ”

Marshall looked at the photo of the fleet commander on the wall, his gaze wandered between Erich and Zhang Chuanlan, and nodded gloomily.
