The fierce fighting of the expeditionary force continued all night.

Before dawn, the intelligence services of the coalition government lost all the communications of the front-line troops, and in just one day, the landing became the deadliest battle since the coalition government was founded.

When the sad news reached the territory of the coalition government, the heightened mood cooled down, and the Council convened an emergency meeting to symbolically dismiss the commander-in-chief of the expedition.

Once again, the Speaker gave an important speech, and giant airships with his holograms appeared in every important city.

In his speech, the Speaker declared that they had learned the lessons of the landing, cleverly pointed the finger at the Eclipse Cult and the Barossa Bloc, and used the battlefield images captured by the Eye of the Federation to finely tailor the defeat to an unjustified backstab by the Third Neutral.

The Speaker assured the disappointed citizens that the defeat at the front would be temporary, that the coalition government would officially declare war on the Third Neutral, and that their invincible air fleet would reign in the skies over the Third Neutral, making them pay a terrible price for the backstab.

The next morning, this rousing speech resounded in the sky of every city.

The speed at which the giant airship arrived was as if it had been arranged in advance.

And at the time when the Speaker was making a declaration of war speech to the people of the coalition government, the war between reformists and conservatives was heating up.

According to the analysis of front-line intelligence officers, in order to sweep away the third neutral country, in addition to sending the coalition government's air fleet to carry out carpet bombing, they also suggested that the six-star rescuers be activated, so that these real elites can form a decapitation team that will go deep into the battlefield.

They suspect that the "brains" that control these mutated creatures are hidden somewhere in the territory of the Third Neutral Kingdom, but the scanning equipment of the "Eye of the Federation" cannot detect their existence, which makes them suspect that the "brains" of the mutated creatures may be located beneath the surface of the city.

This is a necessary means to win this war, but another inevitable problem is pushed to the table.

Which six-star rescuers should be sent to participate in this decapitation operation?

The problem quickly turned into a fuse for a war between factions, and no company was willing to take on this thankless mission.

Over the past few decades, this nominal supreme force has been transformed from a bailout of the coalition government into a "product" of corporations or extended families, carrying the brains of the company or family, and only the most powerful forces in the Council are entitled to own these precious "products".

The loss of a six-star rescuer is unacceptable to any force at the moment.

There is no doubt in the Parliament Chamber, which symbolizes the highest authority of the coalition government, that the coalition government will ultimately win the war, and the parliamentarians consider their role in the new political landscape after the victory.

In their eyes, the Six-Star Rescuer is not a consumable item for the battlefield of the expedition, but a trump card to prepare for the full-scale outbreak of this factional war in the future.

The loss of the six-star rescuers means that they are declared out in advance in this political battle.

Qi He yawned and held his chin with his left hand in boredom.

This was the third war meeting in a day, and the representatives of the company and family were still arguing over the composition of the decapitation squad.

The same scenario had played out once before the Great Expedition began.

In the end, no one was convinced, and there was an alternative to the later conscription, allowing the improvised expeditionary force to go to the front first to obtain more information for them.

It's just that the intelligence brought back by the expeditionary force is not optimistic.

The war was much more difficult than they had imagined, and there was likely to be a threat hidden beneath the surface of the city, which they did not know.

The councillors realized that this was not a war that could be won by a six-star rescuer.

As a result, the situation in this war has once again become delicate.

In addition to the war itself, they seem to see an opportunity to consume and even deprive their political opponents of their trump cards.

Although the war on the conference table has no smoke and no blood, it is also a life-and-death war, and even the "comrades-in-arms" of the same faction cannot be fully trusted.

"Since you have not been able to reach a consensus, we might as well take this opportunity to discuss the issue of the frontline battlefield."

Qi He interrupted the debate of the parliamentarians, and also focused all the eyes of the council, including the chairman, on him.

"Frontline?"

They didn't understand why Qi He would bring up such a trivial issue at this juncture.

Not long ago, they had announced to the people that the expedition had failed, and the matter was now closed, and there was no need to take up the time of the meeting for discussion.

"Although the expeditionary forces in various cities have lost contact with us, the Eye of the Federation has detected that a significant part of the expeditionary force has survived on the front line."

This explanation made the lawmakers even more confused.

The Speaker had to remind the young parliamentarian who was trying to change the agenda of the meeting that "given the current situation in the Third Neutral Country, it is only a matter of time before they die." ”

As compensation, they would erect a monument to the victims of the expedition in the border cities that participated in the Great Conscription.

In the eyes of the Senate, this is already the greatest praise for the expeditionary force.

Rather than dying in obscurity, at least their names can be preserved in this way.

The conservatives who were hostile to the Ragus Foundation would not let go of this opportunity to ridicule Qi He, and some yin and yang voices came from the venue, "Speaker, you might as well let this young councillor continue, I remember that not long ago the Ragus Foundation was establishing its own public image, maybe this time they are willing to take on the frontline rescue work, and send rescue boats in the name of the Foundation to rescue those surviving soldiers." ”

Everyone here knows that the rescue operation is definitely a thankless operation, and only the wronged boss will spend manpower and material resources to rescue those soldiers who should have died in the third neutral country according to the strategy.

In particular, those soldiers are "inexpensive", they only have to pay for exoskeleton armor and some basic military weapons.

The biggest advantage of the Volunteer Army is that no one will hurt when they die.

And as representatives of the company's cluster, they knew that Qi He should be one of the best people in this venue to settle the account.

This topic was provoked by Qi He himself, and the political enemies of the reformists couldn't wait to see him unable to get off the stage.

"I just got the latest news from the front, so I want to tell you about it."

Qi He's tone was unhurried, and his gaze swept over the councilors in the venue, remembering their expressions at the moment.

He did a good job of hiding the gloom that flashed in his eyes.

Chatter and arguments,

and the desire to get rid of political opponents as quickly as possible.

This is their "empire".

"While you're discussing the decapitation squad, the Eye of the Federation has detected several expeditionary forces forming an alliance with mutant creatures."
