Chapter 373: The Victim
"Forget it, buddy, those nobles only have their own interests in their eyes. As for the future of the Federation, they don't care about it!" Frank also looked helpless. As the chief think tank of the president, he knew too much unknown It's secretive. !
"Under the corrosion of these moths, the Federation is already very corrupt, and now they have extended their claws to the army. Aren't they afraid of accidents!?" Claude slammed his fist on the desk.
"Maybe they want the Federation to split up..." Frank muttered as if talking to himself, but Claude beside him was struck by lightning!
"You... what are you talking about!?" Claude turned around in shock, staring at Frank blankly.
"My dear brother, not everyone thinks about everything for the Federation like you do." Frank sighed, and then continued: "Hundreds of years ago, the countries of the earth were willing to abandon their prejudices and form a complete The federation is mainly due to the opening of the great space age. At that time, with the power of one country, it was impossible to go to deep space, so everyone had to unite together."
"But what about now? It has been hundreds of years since the beginning of the Great Space Era. Human beings have spread all over the Milky Way, and even radiated to the surrounding extragalactic galaxies. The development of science and technology has caused people's ambitions to expand. Now many forces no longer need it." After cooperating with others, how can they tolerate others taking their share of the pie?" Frank sighed.
"Hey!" Claude also sighed, and then closed his eyes.
...
A few star fields away, both Qin Hao and Keen had received their respective promotion orders.
"Congratulations, sir, you have been promoted to two ranks in a row. Maybe after a while, you will become a general!" Several combat staff officers around Qin Hao laughed.
"Hehe, I am happy with you, and this is also the result of your help." Qin Hao smiled modestly. Along with his promotion order, there were also commendation orders for these officers, although they did not directly increase their ranks. , but they also received a lot of rewards, and the energy crystals they picked up before were not mentioned by the high command, so they tacitly allowed them to keep them private.
Because he is not very sensitive to politics, Qin Hao is quite happy. In his opinion, the promotion of the dozen or so aristocratic disciples has nothing to do with him. After all, they are all "relationship households", so promotion itself is easier for him.
But Cohen, who also received the promotion order, had no happy expression at all.
"Congratulations, old buddy, the Federation has arrived!" Ji Moluo was the first to send a message of congratulations.
"Hehe, it's just a formality. At most, it's just a little more salary. This time, there are seven members of the family who are promoted with me. Those wastes don't know anything at all. Now they are all generals. In this way , I don’t have as much say in the command as before!” Cohen said with a sigh, although he was already a general at this time, the leadership of the president’s faction in the army has been further lost.
"There is no other way. For hundreds of years, those aristocratic families have been eroding the power of the president. From the beginning, the parliament was only used to check and balance the president. Now the president has no power. Isn't it all operated by those aristocratic families? Did you come out?" Ji Moluo also sighed, although Cohen was put together, but he was even worse, as the oldest general of the Federal Army, he is still only a major general.
"Hmph, if this continues, the position of president will probably be abolished. At that time, the entire federation will be controlled by the parliament controlled by these powerful nobles." Cohen will clenched his fists and said, although he was unwilling, but But there was nothing he could do.
"Forget it, let's take care of ourselves!" Ji Molov sighed.
"Hey!" General Cohen shook his head helplessly, and after cutting off the communication, he murmured to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "This Federation is rotten, maybe it's time for a change ..."
"My lord, change requires sacrifice..." the adjutant said beside General Cohen,
He is the person Cohen trusts the most, so Cohen doesn't hide anything from him.
"Sacrifice? If I can save the Federation, then I am willing to be the victim!" Cohen said with a serious face.
"General, this kind of sacrifice is not just about life, it may also bear the infamy of being cast aside forever!" The adjutant said with a worried look on his face.
"So what? Even if the world doesn't understand it, even if it will be stigmatized forever, but the Federation is already sick, and someone needs to scrape its bones to heal its wounds, and I am willing to be this person!" Cohen will look at the porthole said the starry sky outside.
"General..." The adjutant didn't speak. For some reason, he seemed to see a glimmer of divine light from General Cohen's back. Perhaps it was the charm of a great man or a pioneer.
...
"Pass on my order, let Colonel Qin Hao return to the fleet to report on his duties!" After a long silence, General Cohen said to the adjutant.
"Yes! General!" The adjutant nodded, and then conveyed the order to Drake Canyon base.
"What? Ask me to report on my work now?" Qin Hao was taken aback after receiving the order. He had just received a promotion order, and he was planning to let the cooks have extra meals to celebrate with everyone.
"Yes! Horse!" said General Cohen's adjutant.
"Okay, you arrange a landing craft to pick me up." Qin Hao nodded, and then explained the matter at hand to the adjutant and several combat staff officers, and then took the landing craft to the flagship of the Seventh Fleet, the Federation Glory .
"General, are you looking for me?" On the bridge of the Federation Glory, Qin Hao met General Cohen.
"Hehe, it's good that you are already a school, and your promotion speed is much faster than I imagined." Cohen smiled.
"It all depends on your support, General." Qin Hao smiled, and then he briefly reported to General Cohen about the Drake Canyon base.
"Okay, it's nothing serious to call you back today, let's go talk." Cohen waved his hand, he didn't really ask Qin Hao to come back to report on his work.
"Yes!" Qin Hao nodded, and then left the bridge with Cohen.
Originally, Qin Hao thought that Cohen would take him to the conference room, but he didn't expect that Cohen took him directly to the cafeteria, and then entered a small private room used by senior officers.
Soon, a few simple dishes and two bottles of wine were delivered, and then Cohen would personally fill Qin Hao's glass.
