Chapter 486 Inference
"Humph, I think it's probably just a lie. He looks like a skinny chicken. How can he assist such an elite force in retaking the city?"
One person in the room said angrily, and his words were obviously full of disdain for Franklin. It was obvious that he was not very convinced of Franklin as the 'organization leader'.
"But considering his status as a small Senate intern at the time, it speaks volumes that he could attend the celebration reception."
The middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader of this small group said:
"According to the gossip I got, it seems that it was because Atlas gave Franklin 'credit' that he could attend this reception, and he was also reused after the war. To be honest, with his background and qualifications, even if he He is capable, but such a rapid promotion speed is actually unreasonable, so I think there may be Atlas Group behind him to help.”
The middle-aged man's words caused the room to fall into silence for a moment. Everyone was digesting the information revealed in this paragraph and making plans in their hearts.
Soon, someone spoke up and said:
"Why did Atlas Group, or that Mr. Ray Bill, help him like this? Is he Franklin's hidden biological father? Anyway, I looked at his resume and personal information, and I didn't see that he was related to Atlas. What does the group have to do with it?”
"Judging from their appearance, they should be about the same age."
"Who knows? Don't the bosses of these giant companies like to play some weird tricks? Maybe that Ray Bill is just a bad old man, but he later had a full-body plastic surgery to make himself look like a young man. Same."
"Hey! Don't say it. Don't say it."
Seeing that the topic of discussion was getting more and more crooked, the middle-aged man couldn't stand it anymore and coughed loudly, and the room returned to a quiet atmosphere.
After looking around and seeing that no one else had any intention of speaking, the middle-aged man expressed his guess:
"I guess Franklin may be an 'agent' cultivated by the Atlas Group in the Lubion system."
"agent?!"
Others in the room suddenly let out a low cry, and then they quickly thought of a terrible possibility.
"You mean that although the Atlas Group has decoupled from the Lubion Galaxy, it has actually been secretly planning to return here?"
"It's very possible!" The middle-aged man waved his fist excitedly, as if a detective had finally solved a mystery that had been bothering him for a long time.
"Just imagine, this mysterious Mr. Rebir managed to gain a foothold in the Lubion Galaxy, but was forced to sell all his assets and finally left here in despair. If it were you, would you think about it? Come back one day to take revenge?"
"But I heard that Atlas Group made a lot of money when it sold off its assets in the final stage. On the contrary, all the local companies in the Lubion Galaxy were hemorrhaging money. It is said that more than 90% of them have no money yet. I can get my money back.”
Someone in the room retorted in a low voice, obviously he knew a lot about Atlas Group's previous asset divestitures.
But this middle-aged man was obviously dismissive of such a statement. Like many people, after discovering the 'truth' that he recognized, he would firmly believe his own guess and try his best to deny others. possible.
"Businessman! He is a businessman! Remember, people like him are the greediest people. Even if he makes a lot of money, he will not give up the opportunity to make more money, not to mention that this opportunity is likely to let Art The Rath Group controls an entire galaxy?"
"So you firmly believe that Franklin is an 'agent' trained by the Atlas Group in the Lubion system?" one person asked with a frown.
"Eighty percent is correct!"
"Then why didn't Atlas help before this? If they really wanted to help Franklin, as long as they did something a little bit, they wouldn't let that 'General Lampard' man put all the protein synthesis factories together with Did the hydroponic tower explode? "
"."
Faced with this problem, the middle-aged man fell into silence for a while. After a while, he was about to say something more when there was a knock on the door of the room.
Soon, a figure whose face could not be seen clearly walked in. After seeing everyone in the room, he said:
"I just received news that General Lampard, who was confronting us during this period, had a direct conversation with Franklin. The specific content is not yet clear, but Franklin directly rejected the other party's request and later announced that he would talk to Franklin again." General Lampard's control of the area attacks!"
——
The news that the armed forces of the 'Resurgence Alliance' would launch another attack on the surrounding industrial areas quickly spread throughout the entire alliance.
Most people will not be surprised by this decision. They all know the current predicament of the 'Resurgence Alliance'. If they do not find a way to regain a few industrial areas that can produce food, a large-scale food crisis will soon occur. affecting the entire alliance.
However, there are still a small number of people who are still questioning why Franklin did not accept the request of 'General Lampard'. If the two parties join forces, they will not only solve the food crisis, but also greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the entire 'Revival Alliance'.
In the words of these people, Franklin was worried that his status as a "leader" would not be preserved, so he was prepared to lead so many people in the alliance to a dead end.
"So you really don't want to say something to suppress those opposing voices?"
In the armored vehicle heading to the front line, Eleanor looked at Franklin, who was also wearing a combat exoskeleton, and asked.
Franklin shook his head after hearing this: "There's nothing to say. Rumors stop with the wise. I believe most people in the league can see clearly what that 'General Lampard' wants."
"The two sides will form an alliance and share military power. At the same time, the other side will open all food processing plants for us to use. To most people, this seems to be a win-win situation?"
"Form an alliance? Humph. And then rely on the advantage of the armed forces to gradually turn the alliance into his 'junta'? Originally, our defense could make him give up the idea of attacking. After forming an alliance and opening up the defense zone, the opponent Wouldn't it be possible to disintegrate our defenses in a matter of minutes? Then we will really become lambs to be slaughtered."
"Is this person really that bad?" Eleanor asked curiously.
"Well, according to the information obtained by our spies who successfully evacuated, the other party rules in the form of a 'junta' in the occupied area, and it is extremely oppressive to the civilians in the occupied area. It seems that it has also set up some kind of hierarchical system. If Had his troops not firmly controlled the border area and implemented a long-term curfew policy, otherwise there would have been a large-scale refugee flow."
While Franklin was explaining the reason to Eleanor, in the synchronous geostationary orbit of Lubion 5, the interior of the Polarized Light, which maintained covert action mode, became busy for the first time in a long time.
Tom, who was sitting on the captain's seat, changed into his cabin suit. He moved his neck and fastened the transparent mask of the cabin suit. At the same time, he said slightly excitedly: "After hanging up on the track for so long, it's finally time for us to take action." "
The tactical information coordinator on the bridge also spoke:
"Captain! The fleets of the government forces and the rebels are currently gathering at the North Pole of the planet for a confrontation. No other units have been found in our orbit yet, and we can start taking action at any time."
"Very good, continue to keep the orbital surveillance team connected to the spy satellites to confirm the current combat progress of the 'Resurgence Alliance'!"
Tom said while looking at the 'battle plan', and then he saw the item that said 'Legion of the Immortals'.
Thinking of the scene when Amber revealed this Atlas 'top secret project' to him, Tom is still so excited that he trembles all over. At the same time, he also knows that he will never get off the 'thief ship' of Atlas.
Although he had never thought of jumping ship.
"I never expected that I would know about this project before Major Randall~"
This far-fetched thought flashed through his mind, and Tom quickly calmed down his emotions and said seriously:
"Inform the immortals in the deployment bay to enter the 'battle preparation' stage and be ready to 'knock on the door' at any time!"
