Chapter 98 Free Democratic Federation

"I wonder what advice the Council President has for you?"

As soon as he sat down on the sofa, Rex asked.

Rex was not familiar with this Council President.

This was the second time they met alone.

The first time they met alone was yesterday.

Yesterday, the Council President personally told him that he had become a fleet commander.

With a faint smile, Elro said, "It's not about advice, but I have something to say to you."

Rex bowed his head slightly and said, "Please let the Council President know..."

The smile on his face disappeared, and Elro asked, "Do you know how many fleet commanders there are in the "Free Democratic Federation"?"

This is a non-questionable question, because all captains know the answer to this question.

Without any hesitation, Rex answered, "There are five in total, including me, a total of six."

Elro asked again, "Do you know what rules the Thirteen Councils use to select fleet commanders?"

Rex shook his head.

He really didn't know. Except for the fleet commanders and the Thirteen Councils, no one else knew.

Since its establishment, the "Free Democratic Federation" has never fought a foreign war.

Ninety-nine percent of the Earth humans I met were absorbed into the "Free Democratic Federation".

After all, the temptation of immortality is still great.

Without military merit, there is only one way to become a fleet commander, and that is seniority.

The first person to join the "Free Democratic Federation" is the most qualified to become a fleet commander.

But this is not the case.

Among the five fleet commanders, three are newcomers.

There are countless people who joined the "Free Democratic Federation" before them.

Rex said with curiosity: "I would like to hear more..."

Elro smiled and said: "It's very simple, not looking at seniority, not looking at military merit, only looking at the preferences of the thirteen senators. There is a rule among the thirteen senators that each senator has three fleet commander quotas, and you are the one I like."

Hearing this, Rex's face showed understanding.

So that's the case...

In this way, many things can be explained.

Rex didn't feel much about this privilege of the Thirteen Councils.

No matter what political system, power will always be concentrated in a small number of people.

The reason why the "Free Democratic Federation" can have five star systems in just four years is all thanks to the Thirteen-member Parliament.

Because the "characteristics" of the thirteen members are the foundation of the "Free Democratic Federation", and none of them can be missing.

As for what the characteristics of the thirteen members are, this is a mystery.

But Rex knows that the "Free Democratic Federation" had completed the population task as early as two years ago.

Now they are waiting for the announcement of "Zero".

Once the task deadline arrives, all members of the "Free People's Federation" can complete the task.

Some people say that the population task issued by "Zero" is to unite mankind and form alliances.

This is not without reason.

Because it is too difficult for one person to complete the task...

Rex stood up, bowed and saluted, and said: "Thank you for the cultivation of the Speaker of the Parliament, and I hope the Speaker of the Parliament will give me more guidance in the future."

Seeing Rex fall into this trap, Elro smiled.

He waved his hand and said: "Sit down and talk."

Rex sat down again.

He knew very well that from now on, he was the Speaker of the Parliament's man.

"This time I forced you to be the fleet commander and lead the advance fleet to the S-01919 star system. This has caused dissatisfaction among many members of parliament, but fortunately I have the identity of the parliament president, which suppressed them. This operation can only win, not lose. In any case, the S-01919 star system must be controlled in our hands. Only in this way can we improve our voice in the "Free Democratic Federation"."

Rex is naturally happy to be a captain commander.

But can he really complete the task?

Rex said with a little worry: "Chairman, that habitable planet has a planetary shield. Maybe it is the home planet of an alien civilization. If it is what I think, I am afraid..."

Leaning back, Elro smiled and said: "There is no need to worry about this. An alien civilization with planetary shield technology cannot even leave its home planet. You did not encounter any artificial space facilities in the S-01919 star system. This is the best proof. In my opinion, there must be something hidden. This trip to the S-01919 star system is just right to explore it. Even if you encounter uncontrollable situations, I will be your backup. What are you afraid of?"

Hearing this, Rex felt relieved.

He nodded and said: "I feel relieved with the words of the chairman of the parliament..."

Elro waved his hand and said: "Go and prepare. I will use the power in my hands to expand the size of the advance fleet as much as possible and fully assist you in completing this mission. Also, your flagship has been assigned. It is a "star-level" destroyer. Go to register your information for identity authentication."

Nodding, Rex stood up and said, "Chairman, I'll go then..."

As the chairman nodded in response, Rex turned and strode away.

Looking at Rex's departing back, Elro smiled faintly.

It seems that he is a smart man, which is good.

As his subordinate, he must be smart.

But he can't be too smart, and he is between smart and not smart.

Such a person is capable and easy to control. He will not have any other intentions and will not be too ambitious.

...

S-01919 star system.

The starry sky is boundless, but dark and full of stars.

In a dense asteroid group, a huge fleet is sailing.

This fleet consists of three "Firestorm-class" escort ships, three "Cobra-class" destroyers, and a Galleon-class transport aircraft.

A total of seven ships, seven giant ships.

Wherever the fleet passes, the floating asteroids are like moths to a flame, hitting the void shield in an endless stream.

Some asteroids, due to their slow speed, directly passed through the void shield and crashed into the hull.

Sparks burst out, and the asteroids were instantly shattered and smashed.

This was an extremely shocking scene, the fleet was forcibly crossing the asteroid group.

"Hit, hit..."

In the hall outside the master bedroom on the upper floor of the palace of the Far Journey.

Irene, Ellie looked at the asteroids that kept passing by the glass wall with excitement.

Some even passed through the void shield directly and crashed into the upper deck, bursting with sparks.

Compared to Irene and Ellie's excitement, Li Meng was much calmer.

He was wearing a golden nightgown and lying on a recliner with a lazy look on his face.

Sitting next to him was Sandra.

She was wearing a purple low-cut tight waist dress and holding a plate of fruit in her hands.

This time to the S-01919 star system, Mrs. Irina did not follow.

She followed Odysseus and moved the government to Ark One.
