Historically, after every major campaign, at least for a short time, they have usually chosen to retire quickly.

In order to avoid federal searches, it is rare to appear within the Federation's sphere of influence.

This is an important reason why the Federation has yet to find their home planet.

He leaned back, staring at the data on the panel with a serious face, and quickly analyzed the current situation in his mind.

Soon, he got up and dialed another number.

"Marshal." Hook's loud voice came from the other end of the communicator.

"Notify the border area, strengthen control, and let the personnel of the Third Military Region be ready at any time, and if there is anything abnormal, report it as soon as possible!"

"Yes!" Hook replied quickly.

After the brief call with Hook was over again, another communication on the table that would not normally ring flashed, and soon a large screen of light appeared on the wall, on which the figure of the head of the Federation appeared.

"Xiu, something happened."

Erbert sat up straight, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart: "Is there any new news?" ”

"The Federation suddenly received a call for help from several small planets outside the Federation, but the communication signal disappeared as soon as it was linked, and those planets seemed to have disappeared, I'm afraid it was...... Controlled by the rebels. ”

"Rebels?" Hearing this familiar word, Elbert subconsciously felt disgusted: "What do they want to do?" ”

"I've contacted the heads of the three major star fields, and there are more or less unusual situations in the border area, and it is said that some people are missing. It has been so long since the Union was founded, and this is the first time it has encountered such a blatant provocation. Rodriguez, that guy, I'm afraid I'm trying to make a big move again. ”

Rodriguez, as the head of the Confederation speaks, is the leader of the rebel army, and was once subordinate to the Central Division of the Confederation, and his status is similar to that of today's Elbert. He was also a high-ranking general who was loved by the people of the Federation.

At that time, Albert was still young, but he also experienced the shock of everyone around him when he heard that Rodriguez had defected with his personal guards.

Even before that, he still had a high opinion of the heroic figure in the news.

"The rebels now...... I'm afraid it's not something he can fully control. Elbert snorted.

He has been dealing with Rodriguez indirectly for so many years, and he knows him well. He was a decisive man when he was young, so he was able to climb to the original position, but in the long years after that, his style gradually changed and became more conservative.

In recent years, Rodriguez's two sons have gradually begun to take over some things, and the rebels' style has changed subtly.

Like the base he stumbled upon on the Wastelands, in general, probably the handiwork of one of his sons.

"Don't underestimate him, although it is said that dogs that bite people don't bark, but he is not such a low-key person. His original intention was to take power in the Federation, but he didn't expect that the army was not as easy to control as he imagined. Although those small planets are inconspicuous, we must pay attention to their situation. ”

The head of the Federation paused and then said: "Although it is not good to say this, but Xiu, your leisure time is coming to an end again!" ”

Of course, this "laid-back" is relative.

His vacation had not even begun at all, and it ended without warning!

Albert chuckled, "Then make it up to me later." ”

"Okay. I'm looking for you this time mainly from small alliances outside the Federation, and you should have heard that there are also quite a few people missing in their territory. Their leaders want to cooperate with the Federation, and this negotiation requires you to come there in person. ”

"I'm going?" Elbert raised an eyebrow, this kind of foreign affairs he usually doesn't interfere too much.

"They are also the biggest force outside of the Federation, they have always wanted the Federation's help, but they are worried about being swallowed up by the Federation. Your reputation is better there than those of diplomats. Taking advantage of this opportunity, perhaps it is a good time to incorporate it into the Federation. Give them enough autonomy and protection to get what they need from each other......"

Erbert tugged at the corners of his mouth: "You politicians...... It's okay for me to go to the front and participate in the negotiations, but for specific matters, let those who are engaged in diplomacy do it. ”

"Okay!" The other party agreed very quickly.

This made Elbert suddenly feel as if he had been deceived.

So...... Actually, his main role is to be a mascot, right?

"Rodriguez's ......"

"I'll secretly let people investigate first, and when you come back, there should be results." The head of the Federation looked at him with a smile.

Well...... He's really making the most of it!

When the figure of the head of the Federation disappeared from the light screen, Albert rubbed his temples with a little headache.

He had never been very interested in the calculations between these politicians, and it was much easier to fight a war than that!

But he also knew that he couldn't escape these things, and for the stability of the Federation, even if he didn't like it, he had to do it.

It's just that...... I don't know what the signal is over there.

If he suddenly loses contact...... Will the little female be worried about him?

……

"What do you say? Leaving the day after tomorrow? When Ms. Furman got the news of her eldest son, her original smile disappeared in an instant.

"Yes." Elbert nodded.

"You finally escaped from death, will that guy at the head be too much? How can a marshal go to negotiate such a thing in person? ”

"Mom, this is the sincerity of the Federation."

"Is it sincerity to confess you?" Then she turned her head to her husband next to her: "Aren't you on good terms with the leader?" Our son just came back, and the border is so messy...... What's your expression? Aren't you worried about your son? ”

Ms. Fuman noticed that her husband's expression was very calm, and she immediately expressed her dissatisfaction.

The other party smiled innocently: "Have a little confidence in your son." ”

Elbert went to that place...... Who should be worried about when the time comes!

His son, of course, is clear to himself.

It's just that the son is now older, and it's not the time for parents to make decisions for him. And he has his own responsibilities.

"If you're bored, let Langedo come back with you. Didn't he come up with that new matchmaking system? I think it's good, he's getting older, you always say he can't take it, I think if he can, he's also old enough to find a match. ”

Elbert calmly comforted her mother, showing no remorse for having "sold" her brother.
