Soon, the adjutant passed the documents to the Third Marshal. The First and Second Marshals sat in their chairs calmly with their eyes closed. They didn't seem to care about the documents.
The Third Marshal quickly read through the documents. His furrowed eyebrows relaxed. He smiled and said, "Ling Xiao, although you managed to get around the rules perfectly, there are still some rules about god-class operators. You still need to think about what excuse you should use to deal with the other nations."
Just now, due to his anger, he forgot about the difference between god-class operators and god-class mechas. Now that he calmed down, the Third Marshal had to admit that Ling Xiao did a good job.
It turned out that in the Human United Declaration, regardless of whether it was the main principles, supplementary principles, or supplementary regulations, there was indeed no explicit restriction on god-class mecha not being able to leave the battlefield. It only clearly stated the responsibility of god-class operators — in other words, god-class operators had to take full responsibility for all the consequences of the god-class mecha they operated.
However, the rules about imperial mechas stated that it was forbidden to modify or disguise an imperial mecha of another level to enter the battlefield. If they were discovered, they would be severely punished by the United Nations. Those who refused to comply could even have their status as a member of the United Nations revoked. In other words, their status would be shared among the other nations.
This rule was created because some of the mecha operators from the other nations were already qualified to become imperial operators. However, they suppressed their abilities and didn't register to become an imperial operator. They continued to operate ace mechas on the battlefield. This loophole couldn't be eliminated. The other nations were afraid that their opponents would cheat them. That was why they created this rule to restrict those invisible imperial operators.
However, after what Ling Xiao had done, it was likely that there would soon be new regulations that would officially restrict god-class mecha operators. In the past, everyone had thought that there would definitely be no imperial operators who would rush to their deaths to operate god-class mecha above their level, and no god-class operator would be willing to hand over their mecha to an invisible imperial operator. In addition, the other nations didn't want to be restricted by the Human United Declaration. Thus, they decided to close one eye to some loopholes. This was why Ling Xiao was able to find a loophole and successfully get around the rules.
Ling Xiao smiled at the Third Marshal's words. "This is a matter for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It's not something we need to consider." Wasn't the Ministry of Foreign Affairs supposed to be in charge of this kind of sophistry? If they couldn't even handle this, they should all be dismissed.
A person who was able to become the Third Marshal wasn't stupid. At the start, he was afraid that an intergalactic war would break out and cause the Federation to be targeted by everyone. That was why he was so aggressive. Now that he had dispelled his concerns, he agreed with Ling Xiao's words. This kind of wrangling was indeed the best thing to do.
In reality, the reason why the Third Marshal kept picking on Ling Xiao wasn't because he had something against Ling Xiao. It was because the two of them had completely different opinions and beliefs. It was the result of their beliefs clashing against each other.
The Third Marshal represented the military headquarters of the Federation. He advocated for peace and didn't want to start a meaningless war. His decisions tended to focus on how to avoid war and reduce casualties. On the other hand, Ling Xiao represented the Eagle Faction, which was the main force of the First Marshal's faction. They would never back down from anything. They advocated that anyone who dared to offend the nation must be punished with force. Without a doubt, the First Marshal's faction was aggressive.
All these years, the Eagle Faction's First Marshal's faction had been in charge of the Federation's military headquarters. This was also the reason why the Federation was constantly at war.
On the other hand, the Second Marshal was in the middle. He was the best lubricant for the Eagle Faction and the Pigeon Faction. The three factions kept each other in check so that the Federation's military headquarters wouldn't make decisions that were too left or right. This allowed the Federation to sail smoothly.
"Old Yang, since you don't have any questions about Ling Xiao's mecha, why don't we move on to the next topic?" The First Marshal saw that Ling Xiao had settled the Third Marshal so he finally opened his eyes and spoke.
"I'm worried that Hailiya will send out their god-class operators because of the god-class mecha and push the responsibility to us." The Third Marshal expressed his worries.
"They won't. Hailiya only has two god-class operators. They won't dare to take the risk," the First Marshal said confidently.
He just received news that Hailiya still didn't send out their god-class operators. This meant that they had studied the Human United Declaration thoroughly and didn't dare to start a war between god-class operators.
The Third Marshal glanced at the First Marshal and pursed his lips tightly. Just now, the Third Marshal realized that he had accidentally fallen into the trap set by this sly old fox. The First Marshal had wanted to start this emergency military meeting for a long time, but he didn't want to initiate it himself. Instead, he used the Third Marshal to do it.
"Since Planet Haijiao has confirmed the existence of Base 013, we need to discuss how to send reinforcements and officially launch a counterattack." As expected, the First Marshal said what he had planned for a long time. His dim eyes suddenly lit up with killing intent. "The war on Planet Haijiao has been going on for so many years. It's time to end it."
He threw out his counterattack plan.
"I agree. I agree." More than half of the ten great generals agreed. They were all from the Eagle Faction.
Ling Xiao raised his right hand and replied firmly, "I agree."
Since they dared to hurt his daughter, they should be prepared to pay the price. Ling Xiao had never thought of letting the people from Hailiya off.
The Second Marshal looked at the First Marshal. Then, he raised his hands and said, "I agree."
The Second Marshal's decision meant that the plan to attack Planet Haijiao had been approved. The Third Marshal had no choice but to raise his hands and agree. This was always the case. In the end, they would follow the First Marshal's decision. The Third Marshal once again felt the distance between him and the First Marshal. It wasn't something that could be made up by cooperating with the Second Marshal.
The higher-ups of the Federation made the decision to launch a counterattack. At the same time, the citizens of the Federation also saw the terrifying giant monster appearing to help the god-class mecha, [Belief]. They also saw all the soldiers of Base 013 protecting [Belief] without any fear of death. Everyone was touched by the soldiers who fought bravely on Planet Haijiao. However, the more touched they were, the angrier they were at the arrival of the reinforcements. When they saw the soldiers of Base 013 sacrificing themselves to protect the base, they couldn't help but cry.
'Reinforcements, where are you?'
"It's Long Xiang." Someone saw the silver lights in the sky and instantly shouted excitedly.
Following this shout, countless silver mechas descended from the sky. The citizens of the Federation couldn't help but raise their arms and cheer. They were happy that Long Xiang arrived in time. They were proud that Base 013 was able to hold on until the reinforcements arrived.
Base 013, you are the hero of the Federation! I'm proud of you!
