Chapter 1332: Federal Assembly (3)
Roddy said, "Yes." After the last attack on Alan's fake president in Light Concealment Society failed, Vincent personally appeared in a video to identify Alan as not the real Mobbit. Naturally, Roddy had seen that video before, so he was no stranger to Vincent's appearance. After removing the mysterious veil, the leader of Light Concealment Society looked like a successful middle-aged businessman. Next to him was another senior member, Vina. After Vina leaked the news of Vincent's attack to Alan, Vincent's operation failed and soon found the problem.
Strangely, Vincent did not get rid of Vincent as a traitor. She even accompanied her to today's meeting. Of course, Roddy and the others didn't know so much about it, so they felt that there was something wrong between Vincent and Vina.
After Light Concealment Society and his party entered the venue, a few more groups of people entered the venue one after another. Among them were the newly arrived Floating Island Nobility Clans, as well as a few neutral warlords on the surface. After these people entered the arena, the space in the arena became much more crowded.
"We're really gathered here." Old Kate sighed, "A scene like this where the nobles of the Federation gathered together and the warlords organized together was probably something that only happened when the Federation was first established."
"At a time like this, we should put down our previous positions and come together. Otherwise, how can we resist the invasion of Nelm?"
Old Kate looked at Roddy and laughed.
"Mr. Kate, am I wrong?" Roddy asked.
"You can't be wrong. It's just that you're still a bit younger." Old Kate glanced at everyone on the field and said, "That's right, these people have come together because of the unprecedented crisis on Earth. But this danger alone is not enough. If Mobbit can't come up with a reasonable distribution plan, it will be difficult for everyone to contribute."
Roddy frowned. "This situation is one of life and death. Don't they understand that?"
"Of course they understand, but in this crisis, the Federation is the first to bear the brunt, then our families, then the Gate of Freedom, Light Concealment Society, and finally the independent warlords. Either there was a saying that there was a tall man standing on top of the sky, or this was the truth. "Mobius doesn't show any sincerity. Do you think those people will fight to the death? At most, they can cope. There is still a difference between the two."
Old Kate chuckled and said, "It's a bit like how we do business. Although the shareholders of the company are in the same general direction as me, they won't do their best if we don't give them some sweetness. The reason is the same. It's just that managing the whole federation is more complicated."
At this moment, the announcement rang. The meeting was about to begin. Everyone was invited to take their seats.
Roddy frowned and said, "Didn't you see Capulet?"
"That's right. Logically speaking, he should have arrived early. When I first entered the arena, I had already seen some military officials. There were some old party members among them, but Capulo was nowhere to be seen." Old Kate sighed, "I hope nothing happens."
Everyone followed the instructions and sat down one by one. Roddy was arranged beside Old Kate. In front sat Vincent and Vina, and on the left was the people from the Gate of Freedom. The importance of their identities was self-evident as they sat in front of them. After everyone took their seats, the illumination of the venue was turned off one by one, leaving only the lights on the high platform of the venue, thus drawing everyone's attention to the high platform.
Moments later, footsteps sounded. Mobius and a few high-ranking federal officials appeared on the stage. The officials sat in the back row of seats, and Mobius walked to the podium. He stood at the side of the stage and bowed to the people below. This solemn posture caused everyone below to stand up one after another. "It's an honor to have you here today," Mobit said. "At this moment of life and death, protecting this planet is clearly beyond the reach of the Federation alone. As people who live on this planet, this planet needs you now!"
A burst of applause.
Mobius made a "please sit down" gesture. After everyone sat down again, he walked to the podium and said, "Everyone here has more or less received the news. That's right, our Babylonian floating island fell on the night of the invasion. This is the scene at that time "
He looked back.
Behind him, a large screen descended, and a scene began to play on the screen. Looks like it was captured by an instrument from an airship. In the scene, you can see the distant island spitting out flames, and fragments continuously descending from the island. When a large explosion occurred in the center of the floating island, causing the floating island to split into several parts, bursts of soft shouts rang out from below. In the fierce battle between the two airships, the floating island, which symbolized the hope of mankind, collapsed in such a shocking manner, dragging thick pillars of smoke and flames towards the ground
"This is undoubtedly a huge blow to us, and in the next three days, our military bases and factories on the surface and other important buildings have been precisely hit by the enemy," Mobius coughed softly. There are some secret officer bases that we don't have publicly announced. The enemy shouldn't know the location of these bases. The reason why we have suffered such a huge loss is all because of one thing. "
"Unfortunately, before the invasion of Nelm, both the Gate of Freedom and the people of Light Concealment Society were at odds with, or even at odds with, the Federation. I do not wish to criticize you here. I am merely citing one fact. I believe Mr. Vincent of Light Concealment Society knows that you organized an assassination attempt on my life nearly ten months ago. "The operation almost succeeded. Although I saved my life, I had to disappear for a period of time because of my serious injuries." Mobit said emotionlessly, "It was during this period that Mr. Vincent arranged for Alan, who is already a member of your organization, to take over the affairs of the Federation in my stead."
"The Light Concealment Society originally intended to control the Federation through Alan. Unfortunately, it failed. Alan did not want to be your puppet. He wanted to become me and become the President of the Federation. That was why a series of events happened afterwards." "Because of this fake president, the relationship between the Federation and the nobles is extremely bad. What's even more hateful is that he leaked all the information about the Federation, including the subordinates of the Interstellar Defense Line, thus giving our enemies an opportunity to take advantage of it," Mobius said in a low voice.
"The people of Nelm, supported by sufficient intelligence, appeared at the perfect time to bring us down to the ground and create the current unfavourable situation. The reason why I said these things is not to blame anyone on the field. What I want to say is that because of the contradictions among us humans, we have instead benefited those foreign invaders. So at this moment, should we abandon all the unhappiness and contradictions of the past? For the sake of this planet, for the sake of our descendants, let us abandon our stand and cooperate wholeheartedly to fight for the rise and fall of mankind! "
Mobie shut his mouth and looked at the familiar and unfamiliar faces on the stage. He waited quietly for their answers.
However, Mobius did not wait for a response from the crowd. Instead, he waited for a slightly mocking voice to say, "It really is too similar. It is exactly the same as President Mobius." A beam of light was thrown at the source of the sound, and whispers could be heard on the field when the figure in the pillar of light was clearly seen.
That's Capulet!
Quite a few people stood up, wanting to see clearly, afraid that they would see wrongly. After all, Capulo's tone didn't sound too friendly. The old man next to Roddy closed his eyes and his expression became serious. Vincent whispered in the front seat, "What, is that president on the stage another imposter?" Wina, who was sitting on his right, remained silent. Roddy narrowed his eyes. Not far away, Wallace closed his eyes and lowered his head, as if he was deep in thought. The words that filled his ears were all speculations.
Capulo's simple words left everyone in the hall full of doubts.
"Damn it." Roddy cursed and stood up. At the same time, he released some of his Qi to attract the attention of the surrounding people.
Even Capulet and Mobius looked at him.
Roddy said in a deep voice, "Although I have some opinions about President Mobit's past actions, I can guarantee that this person on the stage is His Excellency the President!"
"Beskard" Capullo smiled. "Oh, what evidence does Mr. Roddy have?"
"The evidence lies with President Morbit." Roddy shouted, "Mr. President and my father Horn had a contest in which Mr. President was wounded by my father. The wounds caused by Qiu Yan could not be forged, and it was because of this that Mr. President gained the trust of me and the other Patriarchs that the experts of the various Babylonian families fought against the experts of Nelm."
"Oh, in that case, Mr. President would probably be happy to show me that piece of evidence as well?" Capulo looked at the president of the Federation on the platform.
'"After the fall of Babylon, in order to launch a full-scale counterattack against the invaders, I have spent the past three days fully recovering from my injuries. Qiu Yan's last remaining wound has healed, so don't look at it. Capulo Marshal, if you don't trust me, can't you trust Mr. Roddy, or even Mr. Wallace, or Mr. Donier and the others?" Said the latter with a strange expression.
"If it were in the past, I would believe it." Capulo said coldly, "But after all that has happened, how do I know which side you are now?" At this dangerous time, I really can't hand over the soldiers to someone I can't trust. So taking advantage of the presence of so many big shots today, I hereby declare that the Golden Lion is officially out of federal control. We, the Golden Lion, will still fight against the Invasion Star and even conduct military operations with you in a cooperative manner. But we do not accept any orders from the Federation. At this time, we need more free will! "
The venue was in an uproar.
Roddy wanted to say something, but it was pulled by Old Kate. The old man said calmly, "Sit down, don't you see? Capullo didn't have a sudden intention. Instead, he was prepared to leave the Union at this time of the morning and take over the reins of power. Hey, this unwilling old lion."
