This series of events since Dunlio's death has made the people of the two countries completely hostile, and the already hypocritical diplomatic relationship between the Federation and the Empire has become increasingly precarious.

The public generally only cares about their own happiness. As for the relationship between the two countries at a higher level, and whether the war will start again, generally no one cares. If anyone asks, it will mostly be a sentence or two, "We will fight, we are afraid that they will not succeed", "If we want to fight the Federation, I will be the first to join the army."

It's cool to have a bad relationship for a while, beg for peace and break your leg.

After Augsger returned to China, he posted a photo of the airport on the social platform, with the text "The air of the Federation is sweet", and finally said the empire in a grand manner—

[I hope the empire will know that in order for Vice Admiral Gu Yu to voluntarily come to our federation for investigation, we will not hesitate to start a war. ]

Naturally, the comment area below was rushed by the imperial netizens, and they all denounced Augsger and the Federation for their shameless behavior.

But that didn't do much.

Even the senior officials of the empire headed by Randall, including Gu Yu, could see that this was an excuse for war, and the Federation was very likely to direct and play Dunlio's death, but——

If you want peace, you have to be humble.

If you don't want to be humble, you can only sacrifice peace and go to war.

Although the Zerg likes to expand, they have been expanding in the universe for so many years, so many insects have died, and so many territories have been fought, and the public's mood has gradually turned to war.

In particular, the new marshal is also a peaceful development faction. Randall promised when he took office as the Imperial Marshal that he would strive to bring lasting peace and lasting development opportunities to the Empire.

It's hard to compare, but if you have to compare, in some cutting-edge technology fields, the Empire's research lags far behind the Federation.

If it weren't for the fact that the territory of the Empire was much larger than that of the Atlantic Federation, and the total economic volume also exceeded that of the Federation every year, the economic differences between the two countries would have been even more obvious.

The heavy industry led by the military industry in the empire is developed, but the field of people's livelihood is a soft underbelly that has to be admitted.

Randall's livelihood development plan was carried out thanks to the support of several army commanders in the military.

It should be noted that a marshal is not a good career. Historically, it is not uncommon for the Congress to be overridden by the military, and the military was overseen by several regiment commanders.

Originally, both Han Yi and Alfrid were the main battle faction, and only Bard was the only one under the development faction headed by Randall. And Lu Chen has always maintained a neutral attitude.

The reason for Lu Chen's neutrality is also very simple.

His Fifth Corps was fighting at the forefront, day and night. If he said that he was actually a developmentist, who would believe him. And he doesn't want to implement his main battle, so he has always been ambiguous about the team in this regard.

Later, when victory became more and more in sight, Lu Chen's balance gradually shifted to the development side.

The main battle faction in the empire wanted to elect him as the marshal, and the people in the country had a very high voice for the imperial knight as the marshal. It was only after the Centennial Peace Treaty was signed that Lu Chen made no secret of his position of the development faction, and since then no main battle faction has issued an appeal for him to be the marshal.

With the addition of Lu Chen, the development faction faintly overwhelmed the main battle faction in the balance of military and parliamentary forces, and Randall has been successfully elected as the imperial marshal since then.

The war has long since ended, and the line between the main battle and the development seems to be a thing of the past.

And the federation suddenly has such a stubble on the first year of the signing of the treaty, and its intentions can be described as really vicious.

Anyone who doesn't want to watch the empire develop is none other than the Atlantic Federation.

The problem facing Randall, the imperial marshal, was no longer just how to ease the precarious diplomatic relationship with the Federation, but also how to reconcile the contradictions between the two factions when the call for the main domestic war was raised again.

...

Lin Xi'an is still interrogating the members of the male insect kingdom who were arrested in the Insect Tide incident.

From the mouths of this group of vicious and brainwashed bugs, they still can't get anything practical and useful. If they are not careful, they can seize the opportunity and successfully "repay" Ares-suicide.

Lin Xi'an had to check it out patiently.

He stroked his precarious hairline and sighed.

"President, I've found it out!" The head of a civilian soldier suddenly popped out of the desk where the documents of the review meeting were stacked so high.

In Lin Xi'an's tired dark circles, his eyes gradually brightened: "What did you find out?"

The army worm hurriedly handed over the information: "We investigated the cargo box at the airport overnight where the eggs were found, and found that it belongs to the Riverwell Company."

"We explored step by step, and found that the capital that actually controlled Riverview came from Andorra. We investigated Andorra again and found that the actual controlling capital came from..."

"Stop, stop!" Lin Xi'an heard two big heads.

"Skip these and tell me the result directly!"

"We explored the middle fifteen shell companies in total." The soldier took a deep breath and said with great determination, "Finally, we found that the actual control capital came from the Mercer Association."

Lin Xi'an's eyelids jumped abruptly, realizing that their review meeting found something extraordinary.

Mercer Association, no one does not know these five-character empires.

The largest charitable association in the empire, donates countless charities every year, and supports countless orphans who changed their surnames to "Mother".

And its actual founder is Wensha Moser, the richest worm in the entire empire, and the worm who has done the most philanthropy. The actual owner of Moser, the largest capital consortium in the empire.

Lin Xi'an recalled that before, Gu Yu asked him to investigate which large company had funds with unknown whereabouts, and he also suspected that it was the head of Mercer, but the investigation order was delayed until now.

Now this is the only bit of evidence that can be regarded as conclusive or inconclusive.

Lin Xi'an held his cheeks in distress. How long will it take for him to apply for an investigation order now?
