Looking up from the garden in the sky, the interior of the golden sky, with the support of virtual technology, showed a scene of white clouds and bright sunshine. Looking at such a scene, even people became a little lazy. Windsor Bellow narrowed her eyes and returned her gaze to a cup of coffee on the carved round table. She elegantly picked up a silver spoon and gently stirred it in the coffee. She casually put milk and sugar cubes in it, then put it to her mouth and took a sip.
"How does it taste?" Wigg asked with a smile.
"So-so." Windsor Bellow said casually. Although the marshal's evaluation was not high, such a cup of coffee was expensive in Bu Luo City. Coffee was ground from coffee beans, and coffee beans were provided by the Agriculture Department of Bu Luo City. In this space stronghold, it was a special luxury, not something that could be drunk anywhere.
Of course, coffee could also be drunk in other restaurants in the city. However, they were all brewed with instant coffee powder, so their value naturally couldn't be compared to the cup in Windsor Bellow's hand. Windsor Bellow put down her cup, crossed her fingers, and looked at Wigg with her chin in her hand. "Then you're not here to invite me to a cup of coffee this time, are you?"
Wigg spread out his hands and said, "Of course not. You know that some of the infrastructure materials in Bu Luo City have been provided by our family for many years. This time, a large batch of materials has been delivered to Bu Luo City. That's why I came along. "
"Oh, there's still a need for Mr. Wigg to personally come out for such a small matter? Isn't it usually the Poison Tarantula in your Shadow Spider who is in charge of escorting missions? "
Wigg smiled without saying a word.
Windsor Bellow almost wanted to slap herself in the face. She didn't want to mention their private affairs. Now that Wigg had made it clear that escorting supplies was secondary, he mainly wanted to see her in Bu Luo City. She dug a hole and jumped into it. Windsor Bellow sat up straight and changed the topic, "What's going on in Babylon?"
"Not good," Wigg sighed softly. "Actually, other than wanting to meet you, I also wanted to give you a suggestion. But this suggestion was given to you by my big brother. "
"Mr. Randy?" Windsor Bellow retracted her hand from the table and asked, "What does he suggest?"
"Actually, you don't have to act like you're facing a great enemy, even if you don't like this suggestion. Forget it, let's not talk about it. I'll give him an answer when I get back. "Wigg shook his head and smiled.
Windsor Bellow awkwardly put down her hand and gently tapped the table. "It's okay. Tell me about it."
Wigg glanced at her and said, "Alright then. Big Brother wants to unite our families through marriage. "
"Marriage?" Windsor Bellow's voice suddenly rose an octave. The table in front of her and the tables and chairs around the hanging garden began to buzz and tremble. The waiters in the distance were even more dizzy, their faces pale. They only recovered when Windsor Bellow withdrew the murderous aura that she had inadvertently released. Windsor Bellow slammed her palm on the table. "Go back and tell Randy not to even think about it! Even if that old fellow agrees, it doesn't count. I'm Windsor Bellow. If you want me to agree, you have to ask my Endless Battery first! "
Wigg raised his hand in surrender and smiled bitterly. "That's why I said there's no need to bring it up just now. I knew you would have such a reaction. Big Brother hasn't formally brought it up to your father. He just sent me to test your opinion first. "
Only then did Windsor Bellow sit down with a muffled groan.
Wigg leaned forward and said, "But this time is different from the past. Perhaps you should really consider it. It doesn't matter if you don't like me. We don't even have to be husband and wife. We just have to go through the motions and put on a show of our relationship on the surface. After that, you can continue to be Marshal Greed, and I will continue to run the family business. We won't have anything to do with each other. What do you think? "
"That won't do." Windsor Bellow frowned and asked, "What exactly happened?"
"Actually, you should have heard about it, right?" Wigg's expression gradually became serious. "It's about the distribution of military merits in the last interstellar battlefield. His Excellency the President gave Bescot a great honor."
Windsor Bellow said softly, "First-class military merit, plus a Cloud Star, Mobius is really generous. But what does this have to do with your Smith family? What does it have to do with our marriage? "
Wies sighed. "Isn't it obvious enough? His Excellency the President pushed Bescot to the forefront all of a sudden. What is it for? It's to make the other aristocratic families jealous. To make Bescot the target of public criticism, His Excellency Mobius is sowing the seeds of disaster for the aristocracy's internal strife. To be more precise, the Federation is already planning to eradicate us, the eyesore. "
Windsor Bellow revealed a surprised expression and nodded in agreement, "When I heard about the military's distribution of military merits in the Garden of Eden, I already felt that something was wrong." But I never thought that the president would do such a thing. I thought that such a thing would come later. "I really don't know what he's planning. Now shouldn't be the time to do these things, right?"
"Indeed. Just as I arrived, the negotiations between the Federation and the Gate of Freedom broke down again. I'm afraid there will be another war on the surface soon. " Wigg looked into the distance and said, "Fortunately, Mr. Horn met with the patriarchs of our three families in private and expressed his willingness to give up the rights to develop Planet Cloud Iron." In the end, the three of us took the lead and pulled in more than a dozen families to develop Planet Cloud Iron with Bescot. This more or less resolved some contradictions, but it was still a superficial solution. In the end, it all depended on the attitude of the Federation. Since Mobius had already taken this step, then there would definitely be arrangements for the aristocratic clans in the future. For the sake of long-term considerations, we must act now. Otherwise, everything will be too late by the time the building is about to collapse. "
"Even if our two families are united by marriage, it won't dispel the president's thoughts." Windsor Bellow said softly.
"That's right, but the Federation has always excluded us aristocratic families from the political circle. In the past, it was fine. The Federation did not interfere with the nobles, and the aristocratic families did not participate in politics. Even though the two sides occasionally crossed this bottom line, they didn't step on it to the end. Most of the time, they just turned a blind eye to it. But this time, His Excellency the President's intentions are obvious, so we have no choice but to consider it. If the nobles and the military have some interaction, then it will be relatively easier to operate in certain aspects. "I might not be able to see the effect in the short term, but if I look into the future, it might not be impossible to reap miraculous results."
Windsor Bellow sneered, "You want to get involved in politics and plan to fight poison with poison. Make arrangements for a hundred years and wait for the opportunity to change Mobius's arrangements politically? "
"Big Brother and I both believe that this is the best for the Federation and the nobles. At the same time, it will minimize the internal losses between us. In fact, Mobius will attack Bescot. Don't you think it's because you have a relationship with Bescot's young heir? " Wigg smiled indifferently, "Perhaps His Excellency the President has already foreseen such harm, so he simply pushed Bescot out. It's just that Mr. Horn is not a fuel-efficient lamp either. He came to retreat in order to advance, causing at least half of his arrangements to fail. "
"Alright, I admit that you are indeed far-sighted. But why should I jump into this pit with you? " Windsor Bellow sneered, "My family exists in name only. To be honest, even if the family disappears, it won't affect me at all."
"That's right, for the time being, there's no effect. But Mobius has already attacked Bescot. Are you sure that he won't have any thoughts about you? "
"What can he think? Dismiss me? Or transfer me away from Sirius? What a joke! "
With the military merits and prestige that Windsor Bellow had accumulated over the years, if there were no special circumstances, Mobius would easily dismiss her or transfer her out of the legion. It would indeed cause a huge uproar. Wigg knew this, and he said calmly, "It's impossible under normal circumstances, but don't forget. In the past year or so, the frequency of battles on the interstellar defense line has increased by 30% compared to the average in previous years. You're a marshal. Don't tell me you don't know what this means. This means that the Yordon outsiders may organize an all-out attack. My personal opinion is that the Garden of Eden Battlefield is just the beginning. Especially considering that the Barbarians were behind that war, and even the Black Emperor's men appeared, we can't take it lightly. "
'The real war may be coming, when the Yordon outsiders launch an all-out attack, not a single race's army. It's obvious that Sirius alone won't be able to defend the defensive area. At that time, not only will the Golden Lion intervene, but elite legions like the Death Spread or the Rose Empress will also participate. At that time, the interstellar defense line will not be your Sirius's home. In such a complicated situation, not to mention Mobius, even I can easily make some moves. For example, tampering with intelligence and causing Windsor Bellow to suffer a few defeats. At that time, if the military did something else, it wouldn't be too difficult to dismiss a marshal. Especially with that old lion in the defensive area, even if it shakes the morale of the army, I'm afraid it will only shake the morale of your own army, right? "
Windsor Bellow was shocked. Wigg's analysis was reasonable, and it was not impossible for such a thing to happen.
Wigg continued, "If that happens and you lose your family to rely on. Do you think you can rely on Sirius's old subordinates to rise again? Don't forget, if Mobius can take you down, dealing with your generals will be as easy as flipping his hand. Besides, these people have their own families and relatives, so they probably have more concerns than you do. Of course, if you're willing to be an ordinary person from now on, you can pretend that I didn't say anything. But Windsor Bellow, are you willing to be ordinary? "
"No, you've never been that kind of person. If you lose the stage where you can show off, I think you'll feel that living is worse than dying, right? " Wigg knocked on the table. "Then the question is, are you willing to wait for all this to happen before you hate Mobius? Or are you going to join hands with us now to change the future of the Federation? "
