Out of duty and trust in the basic common sense and intelligence of the members of the Citadel Council, Sister Xue rushed to the conference room, opened the communication, and reported her findings to the council.

In her report, she clearly pointed out all the important facts and arguments found in her investigation, and finally gave a completely reasonable conclusion, strongly urging the council to immediately organize a fleet to Ayroth in order to stop Saren before he succeeded.

A few hours later, the parliament made its decision after discussion. In the communication, the council stated that they were organizing a multi-racial joint fleet, and that they needed Sister Xue to report back to the Divine Citadel immediately in person.

Hearing such good news, Sister Xue almost did not hesitate to order Normandy to return to the Divine Citadel at full speed, ready to join the fleet to watch Salen.

She certainly didn't realize it was a trap. Even a legendary soldier as resourceful as she could not have imagined that politicians could sometimes have IQs far below her minimum expectations and reach the negative level.

Although the Citadel Council believed most of her report, it was still stubbornly unwilling to believe the Reaper's existence. The combined fleet was indeed formed, but the purpose of the formation was not as Sister Xue imagined.

Seeing Sister Xue's optimistic attitude, Shen Chao didn't have any intention of warning her, and Alice didn't say anything. So, after more than ten hours, they returned to the fortress very smoothly.

The reason why they were able to return to the Citadel so quickly was because the Council had opened a "special passage" for them, and using the Citadel's control center, the Council had temporarily changed the route of a repeater network. Let the repeater they're in have access to the Citadel.

After reaching the nearest repeater in Normandy. The repeater was connected directly to the repeater on the outskirts of the Citadel, saving them the distance and time they would have had to change repeaters twice.

After passing the Guò Divine Castle repeater, they immediately drove to the Divine Castle not far away, and looked at it from the number on the sensor. The Citadel's fleet here has grown significantly larger, twice as large as when they first arrived at the Citadel.

Hundreds of warships of various races and types gathered here. Several nearby repeaters that are directly connected to the Citadel are also full of the Touareg patrol fleet, ready to pass through them to support the Citadel.

After Normandy was parked at the port of Starlink, Sister Xue immediately rushed to the Citadel Tower with a large number of team members to make a final face-to-face report. She was so confident that she thought that after her face-to-face report, the fleet would immediately set sail to overthrow Salen.

Actually, of course, politics is not so simple. There is no lower limit to the political family's discipline or anything, so. Although Sister Xue has disrupted Salen's plans during this period of time, found a lot of evidence, and confirmed Salen's conspiracy many times, the Citadel Council still does not fully believe her investigation conclusions.

"If Saren attacks the Citadel as you expected. We'll be ready, and the Citadel fleet is ready for any invasion......"

Councillor Asari concluded during the meeting that the purpose of their expansion of the Citadel's fleet was only to protect themselves, in response to Sister Xue's submission of evidence about the Reapers. They all ignored it selectively.

"This won't work, Saren is looking for the "Saint" in Eroth, we must act before he finds the Saint......" Sister Xue reacted most of the time when she heard this, but she still tried to change the minds of the councilors. Their time is running out.

"Eros is within Jace's control, if we send the fleet over. The only possible consequence is an all-out war with Jace, and we don't need one. ”

Councillor Salari continued. This is the specialty of the politicians, obviously they are afraid of death and money, but they can say as if they are for what noble reasons. …,

"The councillor is right, what we need to adopt now is a cautious strategy, Salen's most powerful weapon is his secret plan, he has now leaked this plan, he is no longer a threat, here it is, we still have business to ......"

Udian knocked on the side and said that as the diplomatic representative of humanity, he also joined the camp of the parliamentarians, of course, a big reason for him to do so that he could get a smooth passage on an issue that he was going to submit later.

In the eyes of him and the Star Alliance, half of today's meeting was to let Salen's matter have a result, and the other half was to let Shen Chao do his best to obtain the title of ghost.

With Sister Xue's mission "successful". Starlink can't wait to add another name to the ghost sequence. The council now has no political reason to stop the Star Alliance from pushing Shen Chao into the position of a ghost.

As a professional politician who has been involved in politics for decades, Udian certainly sees this as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as long as Shepard says a few words, he is sure that he will have enough say in the later meetings and add another ghost to Starlink.

He was already imagining in his mind that a few years later, when his term expired and he stepped down as ambassador of humanity, all of humanity would see him as a hero in diplomacy.

Because he was a diplomat, he helped mankind win two ghost seats during his tenure, creating an unprecedented diplomatic advantage! When the time comes, Starlink will definitely let him return to the government agency and give him a position worthy of his prestige......

Sister Xue took a deep breath when she heard this, obviously suppressing her urge to scold or beat people. Of course she knew the next topic, which Udian had introduced to him on the road before the meeting.

However, she couldn't convince herself to let go of such an important issue, which was a big deal for the entire galaxy. She glanced back at Shen Chao, made an apologetic expression, and then turned her head and continued to speak.

"If you only send one ship, it won't cause a war, let me take Normandy with me, I can act very cautiously......" Sister Xue proposed her compromise plan, and she led the team to stop Saren herself.

Although a ship used to face the huge Jace fleet, ten of them were doomed, but it was much better than doing nothing and being doomed in a few days.

"No, we don't need any more trouble, your 'prudence' is not enough......" Congressman Touareg firmly opposed her terms, and the other two parliamentarians also chimed in, they were determined to do nothing.

A few minutes later, Sister Xue, who had tried her best, finally despaired of the council, because Udian was able to follow the rules for the latter issue, so she fully supported the decision of the councillors.

He used his authority as a human ambassador to inform the port of Starlink to seal the port where Normandy was located, and forcibly locked Normandy in the port.

At this time, Sister Xue can be regarded as grounded. And she finally stood by and did not speak, as the ambassador had hoped. Udian took the opportunity to submit his proposal immediately.

"Finally, we're on the subject, Ambassador, you can get started......" Councillor Salari motioned to Udian to start the formal mention after reading his submission.

"This is my honor, parliamentarians. Now, on behalf of the Star Alliance, I officially nominate to belong to the Fifth Fleet of the Star Alliance Navy... Major Shen Chao joins the ghost sequence to assist the council in maintaining peace and stability in the galaxy......"

Udian's mouth kung fu is still very strong, and under his introduction, Shen Chao, who was stunned by the very light qualifications, said that it was Yunyun, an invincible warrior selected by the Star Alliance.

Of course, he is not talking nonsense, in the course of the previous mission, Shepard has also been sending Shen Chao's mission list like Starlink, and when he was in Novilia, Starlink asked Shepard not to bring Shen Chao in the later missions. …,

They had already recognized Shen Chao's ability. Make sure he has met and exceeded all of Starlink's previous expectations. Now that Starlink has been confirmed, there is nothing wrong with their previous choice.

Shen Chao, as the first candidate, was at least two notches stronger than the other candidates on their list in terms of combat effectiveness. Sister Xue also affirmed his tactical command and leadership skills. Now, it's time to push him into this position with all his might.

"Do you accept the nomination, Major?" Congressman Asari looked at Shen Chao and asked. She and the ambassador were not wrong, Shen Chao had just been remotely promoted to Lieutenant Commander by Admiral Hackett of the Fifth Fleet before the meeting, and he jumped 3 levels in a row!

This is also for the sake of the face of the Star Alliance, and he is about to be officially promoted, and the bosses of the Star Federation think that their candidates must also have the title of school officer. As a result, Shen Chao was inexplicably promoted to a school official with unprecedented super speed.

"It's my honor, parliamentarians, and I accept the nomination. Shen Chao immediately took a few steps forward and replied, just now, as an entourage, he had been standing behind Sister Xue. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

"Very good, take a step forward. Councillor Salari nodded appreciatively, God knows what he was appreciating, or if he also learned about and recognized Shen Chao's ability through other intelligence channels.

"The council has decided to grant you all the privileges to declare the Special Strategy and Investigation Division...... "Several councillors began to divide their appointments and the responsibilities that Shen Chao was about to accept. The content is almost no different from when Sister Xue was appointed.

"Do you accept these rights and obligations?" Eventually, after explaining a large section of responsibilities and obligations, Congressman Asari finally asked.

"I accept, I will do my best to maintain the security of the galaxy......" Shen Chao bowed slightly to the councilors and accepted the appointment as prepared in the plan.

From now on, he is a "ghost" of the Citadel, with extrajudicial jurisdiction in the control of all the members of the Citadel Council.

This means that in the future, he can use force, diplomacy, or any other means he deems appropriate to resolve any threat he deems to threaten the security and stability of the galaxy without trial. As for the criteria for this threat, there is a lot of room for manoeuvre...... (To be continued......)
