Finally, after the military report, Admiral Hackett reminded the career politicians of the Star Alliance Executive Council to hurry up and use this golden opportunity to secure as many benefits as possible for the entire human race.

As a veteran-level figure in the Star Alliance Navy, he usually never interferes in politics. But the current situation is unprecedented, so he temporarily put aside his principles and proposed a political zhì tiyì.

Hackett's plan is very simple, use their current actual occupation of the Citadel, and use diplomacy to quickly force the Council to elevate the status of the Star Federation, let the Star Federation join the Citadel Council, and let the human race become the Council race!

After listening to his suggestion, the bigwigs of the Starlink Administrative Committee were silent for a while. These people are the leaders of the major states of the Star Alliance.

On the one hand, their silence shocked Hackett, as a high-ranking general, to intervene directly into the topic of politics. This had never happened before, and it was extremely taboo for generals to participate in politics within the Star Alliance, and it was impossible for an old soldier like Hackett not to know this.

On the other hand, they were shocked by the boldness and feasibility of Hackett's proposal. This mention is very bold, and if it doesn't work well, it will even steal chickens and rice, making the Star Federation turn from the savior of the Citadel into the enemy of several council races.

But at the same time, it is also a reward that outweighs the risks, and if successful, it will greatly improve the status of humanity in the galaxy in a short period of time, and the benefits in other aspects are too many to count.

Subsequently, the Executive Council temporarily severed ties with Hackett. After a few minutes of closed-door meetings, the sophisticated politicians reached a consensus and unanimously voted to approve Hackett's tiyì.

Hackett's tiyì is also something that career politicians like them have dreamed of for decades, so they all finally agreed to take the risk. After all, it's such a good time to know when it's going to happen again.

Over the next few hours, Hackett Tongguò in the Citadel sent a team of Marines found Ambassador Udian in a bomb shelter in the Citadel Guard, and after picking him up on the ship, Udian quickly got in touch with the Star Alliance Executive Council.

After another closed-door consultation, Starlink formulated a bold diplomatic plan with unprecedented efficiency. And put the Udi security right accountable.

In the days that followed, the Star Federation sent more fleets, personnel, and supplies to protect the Citadel and save the refugees of all races. Create your own image of being tall and complete.

On the other hand, Udian secretly hinted on behalf of the Star Alliance that the Parliamentary Star Alliance had suffered a heavy loss this time and needed to be compensated...... And this compensation is the membership of the parliament in politics!

The council was stunned when they got the conditions he had given, and the right to membership in the council was not something they were willing to share. The two previous expansions of parliamentary membership have had special historical opportunities and backgrounds.

During the negotiations, the three council races also tried to promise other benefits in order to get Starlink to abandon this "unrealistic idea". But Starlink didn't eat hard and soft, which was to recognize this condition.

Eventually, the council was forced to agree to allow humans to join the council. Because it seemed to be the only way they could get them back in control of the central control room of the Divine Citadel.

A few days later, after a solemn ceremony aboard the Destiny Transcendental, Starlink became an official member of the Parliament, and in layman's terms, after this battle, Starlink officially became one of the several rogue states of the Citadel.

It was only after this that the Council returned to the Citadel. From now on, the Citadel Council will be the world of four powerful races, and the four races of Human, Asare, Touareg, and Salari will determine the future of the galaxy on an equal footing......

In the subsequent investiture ceremony. The Fifth Fleet of the Star Alliance was awarded the title of Guardian Star of the Citadel, but the Council did not summon Hackett to confer the honor directly on him due to the Council's repeated refusal to return to the Citadel. Opposite. Sister Xue received all the honors as a representative of the Fifth Fleet.

After the award ceremony, the council listened to Sister Xue's opinion and made Udian the new human councillor to represent the interests of humanity in the council.

Wait, how did Udian get to power? Where did Anderson go? That's what you might ask.

In fact, this has something to do with Shen Chao, as a lifelong politician, Udian immediately realized after the battle what a huge opportunity this battle was for the human race and himself.

Needless to say, for humanity, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to elevate the status of the human race. Although thousands of valuable warriors have been lost, the Star Alliance will never let these people die in vain.

In the ensuing secret negotiation process with the council, Udian also realized that this plan was likely to succeed, so he tried his best to push himself to the position of the representative of the Star Alliance in the council, that is, the member of the Citadel Council.

as an important factor in his ascension. He needed Shepard's support, and the council now valued her opinion. But her relationship with Sister Xue was not good, so he finally found Shen Chao.

After making a wish with many practical benefits, Shen Chao agreed to help him persuade Sister Xue, and in the end he succeeded. So, in short, this is how Udian became a councillor by relying on Sister Xue's recommendation.

Of course, none of these things have much to do with Shen Chao, and after Starlink became a member of the Parliament, Starlink finally remembered that they still have a new ghost to take office.

It just so happened that the Fifth Fleet finally partially began to retreat. Half of the fleet is preparing to return to the Arcturus space station. So, Shen Chao took a ride and returned to the Arcturus space station in Hackett's flagship.

He returned to Arcturus this time with the whole team to follow him, and Shen Chao used his ghost privilege to arrange a fake identity for all of them, and then stamped their fake files with top secret labels.

So he can take them through all parties safely, without worrying about others investigating their identities. A ghost does not need to be explained for the vast majority of his actions.

The defense of the Citadel is now handled by stranded ships of the Fifth Fleet and a fleet of Touareg. Combined, the two sides are protected by close to 2,000 warships of all classes.

The fortress's defense is now 3 times stronger than before the attack, and it can theoretically be said to be impregnable. On the fortress, people are nervously rebuilding, and Sister Xue has started a new journey with his Normandy.

And Shen Chao also started the selection of his own ship after returning to the Arcturus space station.

Due to Sister Xue's great success after taking office, the Star Alliance also had greater expectations for Shen Chao, and Shen Chao even heard about the fluctuation of the Star Alliance Navy's attitude from an officer who was sent to assist him in selecting a ship.

Some high-ranking military officers and high-ranking government officials are even seriously considering allocating the second Normandy-class frigate, which has just been completed, to Shen Chao.

Shen Chao just smiled when he heard this, he had completely different requirements for his ship, in the few months on the Normandy, he had quite fully understood the capabilities of this super infiltration ship, and at the same time, he also decided that such a battleship was not suitable for him!

As an extremely important springboard and tool for his future development, Shen Chao decided that his ship must be a warship with large tonnage, strong firepower, and first-class survivability in encounters. The Normandy, while very advanced and suitable for infiltration missions, did not suit his requirements.

After a few days of selection, Shen Chao finally chose a new type of cruiser that had just been completed two weeks ago, this heavy cruiser that was still parked in the dockyard on the earth was named after Budapest, the full name is SSC-Budapest.

It is said that this name is the result of the representatives of the two states in the executive council of the Star Federation, and it is known that more than 80% of the warships of the Star Federation are named after the names of places or people in the two states of China and the United States.

The name of the battleship represents the right to speak of the eight major political forces in the Star Alliance, so the meeting on the naming of the battleship has also become the battlefield of the political struggle.

As the two most powerful political forces in Starlink, neither of these two could convince anyone, and finally the naming right fell to the EU states that had no sense of zài within Starlink. The name of the Budapest was thus determined.

This is a very advanced warship, representing the highest level of cruiser construction in the Star Alliance and the entire galaxy at present. The cost of a single ship of the Budapest is as high as 345 million stars, and Starlink plans to build four ships in 10 years. Shen Chao chose the second battleship of this type to be completed.

The Budapest is 624 meters long, 222 meters wide and 121 meters high. The ship is divided into 11 full decks and 5 low maintenance decks. The interior space is close to 200,000 square meters. The living space and air circulation system on board can support more than 6,000 people at most.

Of course, as a firepower ship, the Budapest doesn't actually have much crew. The core crew that takes care of the operation of the spacecraft and basic space warfare is only about 50 people.

These people Shen Chao can only be found within the Star Alliance, because only within the Star Federation will there be enough technical crew members who can adapt to various technical positions on the Budapest.

As for the rest of the crew? Shen Chao will look for it from places other than the Star Alliance. He had a long recruitment list to implement. In order to gain complete control of the ship, he decided to recruit a large number of non-native warriors.

After determining the battleship, Shen Chao did not participate too much in the selection of technical crews, he accepted Sister Xue's construction and asked Starlink to help him select these skilled crews. He himself only needs to check the other combat departments.

Now he has to make the final preparations for being promoted to captain, and in order for him to be able to fully control the Budapest in the future, he needs to understand the navigation within the Guò Star Alliance's navy, the theory of space warfare, and the basic maintenance of the warship......
