Chapter 135 Disturbance

The next day, morning.

An inconspicuous transport spaceship landed at Star Ring City.

Su Mo walked down from the disembarkation exit.

The entire port was even more bustling, as if the number of people visiting Star Ring City had increased.

At this moment, a man in a black windbreaker, holding a chubby little girl's hand, walked past Su Mo.

The little girl asked her father with a puzzled expression.

"Father, didn't we just leave here not long ago to go home? Why are we back again?"

"Silly child, isn't it good here? Let's come here to play for a few more days."

"Okay."

......

Su Mo couldn't help but take another look at the father and daughter.

Recently, the situation had been unstable, and many wealthy people were thinking of running to Star Ring City, which could be considered a means of refuge.

Su Mo stood in place, gazing at the bustling Star Ring City, took a deep breath, and then stepped onto the floating mechanical square, heading towards the Federal Building.

A moment later, Su Mo appeared at the entrance of the Federal Building.

The entrance of the Federal Building, which was already very lively, was now even more so.

A general wearing mechanical armor, with a burly figure and a resolute face, led his subordinates, striding with powerful steps towards the building.

The reporters waiting at the entrance all swarmed over.

"General Schwar, you're here too. Are you here for negotiations this time?"

"Yes, I'll just say it here, I'm here this time to support the Speaker. Those guys in the Empire military are too much. If they don't want to talk properly, we can just fight them!"

General Schwar angrily addressed the camera, making a tough statement.

The interviewing reporter also said excitedly: "I believe that with brave and fearless generals like you in the Federation, we will definitely not compromise. The future of the Federation is full of hope, and no one can oppress us."

......

Su Mo watched this scene, stroking his chin as he fell into thought. He felt that the situation was getting a little out of control.

He wondered if the federal government had found a solution.

Thinking of this, Su Mo decided to go in and find out the situation first.

So, Su Mo walked towards the building.

Before long, Su Mo used his badge to swipe his authority and entered the lobby of the Federal Building. The entire lobby was filled with a large number of executives and generals.

They were all discussing angrily.

"Have you seen that Star Ring forum? Those bastards in the Empire military are acting like they've got us cornered."

"So what if their weapons are a bit more advanced? I'm not going to take it."

"No, we definitely can't compromise. We have to let the Speaker know our determination. We absolutely can't be intimidated in tomorrow's negotiations."

"That's right, we'll talk if we can, and we won't if we can't."

"But, the Speaker isn't seeing anyone right now."

"Our sitting here is an attitude, and the Speaker will naturally know."

"That's right, but then again, do we really have no other options?"

"What other options are there? The Speaker isn't a god, he can't just conjure up a star destroyer out of thin air, can he?"

"That's right, don't have unrealistic hopes. All the troops are now on standby."

"I hope we don't have to fight again. We finally got some supplies back from the front line and made some money, so we can develop properly. If we fight, it'll all be for nothing."

"Alright, we don't want to fight either, but we can't just let people shit on our necks, can we?"

......

Su Mo found a place and quietly listened to their heated discussion.

His expression kept changing. From what they were discussing, he could basically confirm that the Federation didn't have a good solution.

Speaker Arles' prepared backup plan was probably a full-scale war.

This wasn't a good thing. If the situation got out of control in a full-scale war, he would definitely be dragged into it. No one could escape, and his shipping business would also be affected.

Thinking of this, Su Mo's brow furrowed even tighter.

At this moment, a trace of surprise suddenly appeared in Su Mo's eyes. He saw Xiao Wen and several generals walking in quickly.

Their expressions were also tense, and it seemed they were also here to show their support.

After thinking for a moment, Su Mo didn't go up to greet them.

Time passed little by little.

Su Mo sat quietly in the lobby until late at night.

The once bustling lobby had now become deserted.

At this time, Su Mo got up and walked towards the elevator alone, without making a sound.

He entered the elevator, picked up his badge, swiped his authority, and pressed the button for the top floor.

The low voice of the Fake Creator·Devourer echoed in Su Mo's mind: "What do you want to do?"

"Go up and take a look."

Su Mo took a deep breath and replied in a calm tone.

After the Fake Creator·Devourer heard this, it didn't continue to speak.

Federal Government Top Floor·Office.

Arles stood by the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the distant starry sky, lost in thought.

On the desk were distribution maps of the various legions, as well as troop statistics documents.

He was constantly thinking about the combat deployment after the war began.

If he guessed correctly, the Gomotos Empire would definitely rely on the strength of its star destroyers and V-generation mechas to blockade the strategic star seas in the Rhein Star Region that lead to the front lines.

At that time, he would be forced to respond to the battle, and they would not be able to gain the initiative.

Therefore, he had to find a way to avoid this situation from happening.

......

Just then.

Creak!

The door of the office was actually pushed open directly.

Arles' train of thought was interrupted, and he asked somewhat irritably, "Who is it?"

"It's me."

Su Mo walked in with a smile.

When Arles saw Su Mo walking in, the displeasure on his face disappeared completely, but he also showed a trace of fatigue.

"Why are you here?"

"Isn't it all over the news? I just came to see what's going on."

"That's thoughtful of you."

"Speaker, you seem to be in some trouble. Is it because of the negotiations with the Empire military?"

"That's right, the situation is not optimistic. The Gomotos Empire is now unusually strong, and we have no way to back down, so we can only make the worst plans. But unless absolutely necessary, no one wants to go to war. Once the war starts, there's no turning back, and who knows how many people will die."

Arles sighed and didn't hide anything from Su Mo.

"Is it because the other side has star destroyers?"

Su Mo asked tentatively.

"Yes, wait, do you have a solution?"

Arles suddenly noticed something and looked up at Su Mo.

"Ahem, I don't have a fundamental solution. But I have a temporary solution, and I don't know if it's feasible."

Su Mo coughed and said.

"What solution? Tell me!"

Arles' eyes lit up slightly. He knew that Su Mo always gave people unexpected surprises.

"I can help the Federation rent a star destroyer."

Su Mo organized his thoughts and said solemnly.

Hearing this, Arles also showed a look of great joy and asked, "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure, but the cost is a bit high. First of all, the rent will definitely not be cheap. Also, we need a license, which is a bit of a waste."

Su Mo said somewhat guiltily.
