Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The public has no way of knowing about the intrigues and deceptions on the battlefield. People only care about winning or losing, and they praise and criticize the parties based on the outcome of the war.  The Alliance fleet achieved brilliant results in the Battle of Asgard, killing the pirate leader "Berserker" Brahms and the "Spider Queen" Ashley Blood.  After this battle, Asgard's vitality was severely damaged, the Void Zerg disintegrated, and the war on terrorism achieved a decisive victory.  As the commander of the fleet, Edward naturally won public praise.  Coupled with the previous defeat of Lance Night Stalker in a duel before the battle, the pirate emperor eventually died of his injuries, and the Asgard Pirate Empire fell into internal strife.  His reputation suddenly climbed to an unprecedented peak, and he became an iconic figure promoted by separatist supporters to fight against Yin Jian.  Only Tracy reported truthfully that he and his fleet did not play much role in the war. He only shared the fruits of victory won by the "Ranger Fleet" by virtue of his status as commander. However, the media was soon controlled by the separatists.  The accusations were drowned out.  This is the prestige brought by "qualifications".  Yin Jian was not yet born when Edward became famous. His past achievements established his historical status. Even if his performance in the war on terrorism was unsatisfactory and he was stolen from the spotlight by the newly emerged Yin Jian, people are still willing to believe that he is mature and prudent.  Edward took command and took control of the overall situation, which gave Yin Jian and the Ranger Fleet a chance to win by surprise.  Although people can't tell how Edward controls the overall situation.  Tracy was deeply indignant about this.  Yin Jian was calm.  He knows that his biggest shortcoming is that he is too young. On the battlefield, young people are always equated with newborn calves and recklessness, and the public trusts highly respected veterans more.  Edward's reputation as the "Golden God of War" was not created in a day. His deep-rooted prestige is his advantage, which means that he is qualified to rest on his past achievements. Isn't this an advantage?  Yin Jian doesn¡¯t want to compete with Edward for fame and fortune.  For him to participate in this war, making a name for himself is secondary. The important thing is to leverage the war on terrorism to leverage the election.  Whenever something is done well, the leader must always take the lead.  As the commander-in-chief of the Alliance Fleet, Edward became the number one contributor to the war on terrorism. From an institutional perspective, this is what he deserves.  ?The same principle can be proved. As an advocate of the war on terrorism, Xu Wenchuan, the current speaker of the Blue Star Alliance, has more credit than Edward.  The victory in the war on terrorism has added a heavy weight to his political capital.  Although George Pompeii was an unparalleled eloquent, honest official, and had a good reputation among the people, after all, he was just a scholar who had no achievements in opening up new territories and could not be called a great talent. Compared with Xu Wenchuan, he seemed to lack weight.  There are only ten days left before the end of the year general election voting. Unless George Pompeo can come up with some incredible trick, a disastrous defeat in the general election is a foregone conclusion.  Yin Jian fulfilled his promise to Xu Wenchuan and settled a worry. Compared with this complete strategic victory, the mere battle for fame and fortune is nothing.  On February 2nd of the Blue Star Calendar, the smoke in the Asgard starfield has not yet cleared. The Black Prince Fleet is still clearing out the remnants of the Zerg in the Void, and small-scale conflicts occasionally break out.  Near the Hongqiao Star Gate, a large group of space monsters are evacuating the Asgard galaxy.  The meteorite beast is guarding a tulip beast, the buds are tightly closed, and through the translucent jade-colored petals, a petite humanoid object can be vaguely seen wrapped in the stamens.  At this time, a star gate suddenly opened in front of the beast herd, sucking them in.  The next moment, the beast herd was teleported to the space near the Royal Nest Star.  "Send that girl to me." A mysterious call came from the void.  Feeling J?rmungandr's spiritual thoughts, Tulip Beast opened the wormhole and jumped to the center of a volcano crater on the surface of the Royal Nest Star. Its petals slowly bloomed.  Jormungandr, who has a human body and a snake head, rises from the lava and looks down at the girl sleeping on the flower.  When his sight touched the lifelike black butterfly wing-shaped birthmarks on the back of the girl's torn pilot uniform, J?rmungandr's pupils suddenly shrank, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.  On February 21st of the Blue Star Calendar, Christmas is approaching, and there is no festive atmosphere at the "Mobius Fortress" where the victory celebration of the War on Terrorism has just been held.  The headquarters office is filled with the choking smell of tobacco.  Edward Pompey was leaning on an armchair, without a military cap, and his gray hair was a little messy, making the commander-in-chief of the Alliance fleet look particularly haggard.  Opposite him, Yang Hao and Wang Yong were sitting on the sofa, smoking silently and thinking deeply.  After the Battle of Asgard, the Ranger Fleet, Tiamat Fleet, Queen Mother Fleet, and Blue Star Garrison Fleet withdrew from the Asgard Star Territory in the name of maintaining supplies and refused to participate in the general offensive.  The follow-up strategy became a dead letter. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Charity?At the moment, I can't even care about annihilating the Black Prince's party. There are more important things on the home front than the war.  Christmas is approaching, and the speaker election has reached the final sprint, but George¡¯s election situation is not optimistic.  Compared with the general election, the war on terrorism is actually nothing. As the sages said: war is just a continuation of politics.  The victory of the war on terrorism is equivalent to the failure of the separatist political group¡¯s election strategy.  Xu Wenchuan, with the power of victory in the war on terrorism, was at the height of his power. George had no chance to compete with him. He reluctantly ran for election and was destined to be crushed by Xu Wenchuan.  "Your Excellency, Commander, Xu Wenchuan received a dividend from the war. George cannot make up for this shortcoming. The only person who can fight against Xu Wenchuan is a war hero who is more popular than him." Wang Yong hinted.  "But what should George do?" As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Edward knew that he had asked a stupid question. If he ran for office, George would of course have to step aside.  ¡°However, he knew George. This young man was very capable, mentally tough, and a natural politician.  In order to build his public image, he once refused to marry a wealthy family and married an old street prostitute with sexually transmitted diseases. Through the so-called "love therapy", he transformed her into an elegant and optimistic girl from St. Mary's Girls' High School.  A kind-hearted piano teacher who is very popular among students has used his personal experience to influence countless bad girls.  Because of this legendary marriage full of positive energy, George Pompeo won himself a great social reputation and stood out from many competitors to become a new political star that the family devoted all its resources to cultivating.  He devoted his whole life to restraining his vulgar desires just to ascend to the position of Speaker of the Alliance.  ¡°How would such an ambitious person obey the overall situation and be willing to be a stepping stone for others?  "Mr. George's ideological work will be done by our Yang family," Yang Hao said at the right time. "My fourth brother Yang Heng is the best at persuading others. I believe that Mr. George will accept his persuasion and make a rational decision." The corners of Edward's mouth twitched slightly.  For a moment.  Yang Heng is good at persuasion, this is a huge irony.  But in a sense, Yang Hao is right: anyone who refuses to accept the "Son of the Serpent" will not be able to speak, and of course they will not be able to refuse his persuasion.  "George is a rare talent for our Pompeii family. It's a pityfor this plan, in order to win the election, we have to take the overall situation into consideration." "So, your Excellency, Commander, is not opposed to this plan?" Wang Yong asked.  Edward lit his pipe and nodded slightly: "I have been in the army for many years and am a little tired. It may be a good choice to change the battlefield and start a new life." Wang Yong showed a relieved smile. "No one can resist the temptation of power, and neither can Edward  No exception. The war on terror has earned him a huge reputation, and now it's time to cash in on that reputation.
