Roddy said "Hmm". After the last time the Light Concealment Society attacked Alan's fake president, Vincent personally appeared in a video to identify Alan as not the real Mobius. Roddy had naturally seen that video, so he was no stranger to Vincent's appearance. After removing the mysterious veil, the leader of the Light Concealment Society looked like a successful middle-aged businessman. Beside him was another high-ranking member, Weena. After Weena leaked the news of Vincent's attack to Alan, Vincent's operation failed and he quickly found the problem.
Strangely enough, Weena didn't deal with Vincent as a traitor and even let her attend today's meeting with him. Of course, Roddy and the others didn't know that much about the inside story. They only felt that the atmosphere between Vincent and Weena wasn't right.
After the Light Concealment Society entered the venue, a few more groups of people entered the venue. Among them were the nobles of the floating island who had just arrived, as well as a few neutral warlords on the surface. After these people entered, the venue became much more crowded.
"It's really a gathering place." Old Kate sighed, "This kind of gathering of nobles and warlords in the Federation was probably only possible when the Federation was first established."
"At this time, we should put down our previous positions and come together. Otherwise, how can we resist the invasion of Nelm?"
Old Kate looked at Roddy and laughed.
"Mr. Kate, am I wrong?" Roddy asked.
"You can't say that you're wrong. It's just that you're still a little young." Old Kate glanced at the crowd and said, "That's right, these people have come together because of the unprecedented crisis on Earth. But this danger alone is not enough. If Mobius is unable to come up with a reasonable distribution plan, it will be very difficult for everyone to contribute. "
Roddy frowned, "The current situation is that they will die and live together. Don't they understand this? "
'"Of course they understand, but in this crisis, the first to bear the brunt is the Federation, then our families, then the Gate of Freedom, the Light Concealment Society, and finally the independent warlords. Isn't there a saying that if the sky falls, there will be tall people supporting it? That's the truth. If Mobius doesn't show some sincerity, do you think those people will go all out? At most, they'll just deal with it. There's still a difference between the two. "
Old Kate chuckled and said, "It's a bit like how we do business, although the shareholders of the company are generally in the same direction as me." But if he didn't give them some benefits, how could they do their best? The principle is the same, it's just that managing the entire Federation is more complicated. "
At this moment, the public address system sounded. The conference was about to begin, and everyone was invited to take their seats.
Roddy frowned and said, "I didn't see Capullo."
"Yes, logically speaking, he should have arrived long ago. When I first entered, I had already seen some military officials. There were many people from the old party, but Capulo was nowhere to be seen. "Old Kate sighed and said," I hope nothing unexpected happens. "
Everyone sat down one by one according to the guidance, and Roddy was arranged next to Old Kate. In front of them sat Vincent and Weena, and on the left were the members of the Gate of Freedom. Their group of people sat in front of them, and the importance of their identities was self-evident. After everyone took their seats, the lights in the venue were turned off one by one, leaving only the lights on the platform, thus drawing everyone's attention to the platform.
A moment later, footsteps sounded. Mobius and a few high-ranking Federation officials appeared on the stage. The officials sat in the back row of seats, while Mobius walked to the podium. He stood at the side of the stage and bowed to the crowd below. This solemn gesture caused everyone to stand up one after another. Mobius said, "It's an honor to be able to invite everyone here today. At this moment of life and death, it's clear that the Federation alone is no longer capable of protecting this planet. As people who live on this planet, this planet needs you now! "
A burst of applause.
Mobius gestured for everyone to sit down. After everyone sat back down, he walked to the podium and said, "Everyone here has more or less received the news. That's right, our Babylon floating island has fallen on the night of the invasion. This is the scene at that time … "
He looked behind him.
A large screen descended behind him, and a scene began to play on the screen. It looked like it was taken by an instrument from an airship. In the scene, one could see the floating island in the distance spitting out flames, and debris continuously fell off the floating island. When a large explosion occurred in the center of the floating island, causing the floating island to split into several parts, a burst of soft cries rang out from the audience. In the battle between the two airships, the floating island, which symbolized the hope of mankind, collapsed in such a soul-stirring manner, dragging thick pillars of smoke and flames as it fell towards the ground …
Mobius coughed softly and said, "This is undoubtedly a huge blow to us, and in the next three days, our military bases, factories, and other important buildings on the surface will be accurately attacked by the enemy." There are some secret officer bases that we have not announced to the public, and the enemy should not know the location of these bases. The reason why we have suffered such a huge loss is all because of one thing. "
"Unfortunately, before the invasion of Nelm, both the Gate of Freedom and the Light Concealment Society had disagreements with the Federation and even had friction. I don't want to blame you here, I'm just pointing out a fact. I believe Mr. Vincent of the Light Concealment Society knows that nearly ten months ago, you organized an assassination attempt on me. "That operation almost succeeded. Although I survived, I had to disappear for a period of time because of my heavy injuries." Mobius said emotionlessly, "During this period of time, Mr. Vincent arranged for Alan, who has already become a member of your organization, to replace me and preside over the affairs of the Federation."
"The original plan of the Light Concealment Society was to use Alan to control the Federation, but unfortunately, it failed. Alan didn't want to be your puppet. He wanted to become me and become the president of the Federation. That's why the series of events that followed." Mobius said in a deep voice, "Due to the intervention of this fake president, the relationship between the Federation and the nobles has become extremely bad. What's even more hateful is that he leaked all the information about the Federation, including the subordinates of the interstellar defense line, giving our enemies an opportunity to take advantage of it. "
"The people of Nelm, with the support of sufficient intelligence, appeared at the perfect time, causing us to quickly fall into a disadvantageous position, thus forming the current unfavorable situation. The reason why I said these things is not to blame anyone in the field. What I want to say is that because of the contradictions within our species, it is advantageous to the foreign invaders. So at this moment, should we leave behind all the unhappiness and contradictions of the past? For the sake of this planet, for the sake of our descendants, let us abandon our positions and work together sincerely to fight for the rise and fall of humanity's freedom! "
After Mobius finished speaking, he closed his mouth and looked at the familiar and unfamiliar faces on the stage, quietly waiting for their answers.
However, Mobius didn't wait for a response from the crowd. Instead, he waited for a slightly mocking voice, "It's so similar. It's exactly like President Mobius." A beam of light was thrown at the source of the voice. When the figure in the beam of light was clearly seen, a whisper sounded in the venue.
That's Capulo!
Many people stood up, wanting to see more clearly, afraid that they would see wrongly. After all, Capullo's tone didn't sound "friendly". The old man beside Roddy closed his eyes and his expression became solemn. Vincent, who was sitting in front of him, whispered, "What, is the president on the stage a fake again?" Weena, who was sitting on his right, remained silent. Roddy narrowed his eyes. Not far away, Wallace closed his eyes and lowered his head, as if he was deep in thought. The words that filled his ears were all speculations.
Capullo's simple words caused everyone in the venue to be filled with doubts.
"Damn it." Roddy cursed softly and stood up. At the same time, he released some of his aura to attract the attention of the surrounding people.
Even Capullo and Mobius looked at him.
Roddy said in a deep voice, "Although I have some opinions about President Mobius's past actions, I can guarantee that the person on the stage is undoubtedly His Excellency the President!"
"Bescot" Capullo smiled and said, "Oh, what evidence does Mr. Roddy have?"
"The evidence is on President Mobius." Roddy said loudly, "Mr. President and my father, Horn, had a contest. In that contest, Mr. President was injured by my father. The wound caused by Qiu Yan could not be faked. That day, Mr. President gained the trust of me and the other Patriarchs, which was why the experts of the various Babylonian clans fought against the experts of Nelm. "
"Oh, so Mr. President would probably be happy to show me that evidence?" Capullo looked at the President of the Federation on the platform.
The latter's expression was strange as he said in a deep voice, "After the fall of Babylon, I spent the past three days healing in order to launch a full-scale counterattack against the invaders." The last bit of injury Qiu Yan had left on my body had healed, so there was no need to look at it. Marshal Capullo, if you don't trust me, don't you trust Mr. Roddy, or even Mr. Wallace, Mr. Dornier, and the others? "
"If it was in the past, I would have believed it." Capullo's voice turned cold, "But after all that has happened, how do I know if you are a puppet of any side?" At such a dangerous time, I really can't leave the soldiers in the hands of someone I can't trust. So, taking advantage of the presence of so many big shots today, I announce that the Golden Lion is officially out of the control of the Federation government. We, the Golden Lion, will still fight against the invading stars, and even carry out military operations with you in a cooperative relationship. But we do not accept any orders from the Federation. At this time, we need more free will! "
The venue was in an uproar.
