Xu Yanqing was truly unfit to be a head of state. He couldn't handle the tricks of politicians. How many prominent figures in the Federation were secretly loyal to Xu Yanqing? Perhaps Xu Yanqing himself couldn't even begin to fathom them. Since taking office, Xu Yanqing hasn't courted important figures, instead leaning towards the world of fame and fortune beyond the realm of politics.
For example, the Chang family and the Bai family, the kind of families that are not presentable but are extremely good at scheming. They have no strength and don't know how to find strong partners, but instead they have gathered a bunch of garbage.
Is this what our ancestors said, "Those who keep company with vermilion will become red, and those who keep company with ink will become black?" Duan Fei sneered. Given the current situation, how could the Federation not be on guard against those Red Stars?
After all, that bastard Xu Yanqing, in order to protect himself, had promised to exchange the Federation's most valuable treasure, the 'Spirit Beast Contract'. He'd been constantly pitting and suppressing the Qi family for years. Now that he was trying to cut off his own strength, he even dared to use the Qi family's achievements to benefit himself.
Pooh!
Duan Fei spat in his heart.
Although he had never met Marshal Jerry Bradley of Red Star.
But in his mind, being able to collude with Xu Yanqing meant he must have some ulterior motive. And it was very likely not just the Federation's Qi family's Spirit Beast Contract, but also their Federation's recently popular STAB.
These were the questions that federal politicians had been privately discussing recently. Duan Fei naturally shared this suspicion.
But they don’t know yet that their guesses are gradually getting closer to the truth.
However, the real truth may be even more unacceptable.
Connor approached Lance, Song Mo, and Qi Xinyuan.
The three of them had already noticed Connor's approach, and the topic quietly turned to the aid supplies from the Qi family.
Before this, the topic they were talking about was the multi-person communication among allies that Lance participated in on the supply ship.
The three of them were paying attention when Connor and Duan Fei were talking, but this did not affect their discussion of the mysterious starship disguised as the Red Star supply ship and Xu Fei's abnormal behavior.
Because the mysterious starship bore the insignia of Red Planet, this indirectly fueled public suspicions about Red Planet, a subconscious response. Combined with the station's surveillance and entry and exit records, another conclusion emerged: someone within the Federation was also responsible for the mysterious starship's arrival.
The insider even has the authority to change the entry and exit records and surveillance footage of the Federation Starship Station.
This wasn't good news. However, the three of them managed their faces well, and upon seeing Connor, they immediately smiled.
Connor came over and greeted the three of them politely before bringing up the issue of how only one of the two supply ships they had purchased from Kate's family at a low price had arrived.
Lance smiled apologetically. "Of course, we don't mean to break our promise. It's just that there's some internal turmoil within the Federation. Although we've signed a contract with you, all government procedures have been very slow lately. The Federation is also experiencing turmoil right now, so our Kate family can only keep a low profile for now. No one wants to attract the attention of the people of the Federation at this time..."
Lance said with an unapologetic smile, "The public has been keeping a close eye on Starfleet Station lately, so we certainly don't dare to make any major moves. While our leader may not be very capable, he is, after all, a partner of Marshal Jerry Bradley. Public sentiment is incredibly important, isn't it, Mr. Connor?"
Of course, public sentiment is important. Connor nearly made himself sick from holding himself back.
Isn't this all a reference to him? They say that Marshal Bradley of Red Planet insisted on cooperating with the Federation's unpopular leader, Xu Yanqing. They say that the civil unrest that just broke out on Red Planet was caused by the people's outburst.
Connor knew it well, so he smiled awkwardly and said, "Well, I still want to ask, when will Kate's other starship arrive on Red Planet?"
Connor put his hands behind his back, clenched his fists subconsciously, and then unclenched them.
"Everyone probably knows that the riots on our Red Star some time ago caused a lot of problems. The loss of all the supply transport ships led to an urgent shortage of supplies and even caused the deaths of tens of thousands of people..." Connor said here.
Qi Xinyuan quickly let out an "ouch," interrupting Connor. He cursed Connor inwardly, "What the hell is the root cause of the civil unrest on Red Planet? Austin's own damnation. What does the death of tens of thousands of people have to do with them?" It was as if they had deliberately delayed aid, leading to the deaths of tens of thousands of people. Qi Xinyuan said with a forced smile.
"Oh my! Tens of thousands of people died in the civil unrest on Red Planet?! Patrick Austin is such a piece of shit! For his own personal gain, he actually disregarded the lives of so many people on Red Planet? Their deaths are truly unworthy. It's just a pity for these people. Because of the greed of the King of Red Planet, so many supply transport ships were attacked and bombed by Fila Planet. The people are so innocent!"
Song Mo's mouth corners couldn't help but curl up slightly.
Lance took the opportunity to offer the knife. "As businessmen, we certainly can't be like Austin. We must maintain integrity. However, we are also citizens of the Federation and must abide by its laws. Mr. Connor, please be patient and explain this to the Red Planet's diplomatic department."
Qi Xinyuan caught the knife. "Yes, our Qi family raised this batch of supplies and rushed to Red Planet to help out out of concern for the people of Red Planet. Of course, since this batch of supplies was raised and transferred on a temporary basis, it certainly can't compare to what the federal government negotiated with Red Planet. Therefore, we plan to first pass through Red Planet and then deliver it directly to several areas on Red Planet that are seriously short of supplies."
Hmm. Qi Xinyuan was even more aggressive. They had no political affiliation; they were simply using their identities as ordinary citizens of the Federation to provide emergency aid to areas of Red Star that were severely short of supplies. Once the supplies went through Red Star and the Blue Star Federation, the Qi family could freely choose the recipients of these supplies on Red Star.
The Red Planet's diplomatic department seemed completely unnecessary at this moment. Connor was so embarrassed he almost cried. Why did he have to deal with these people from the Federation?
Connor was from the diplomatic department of Red Planet, so he had experienced some situations. There was a hint of bewilderment in his eyes, but he still forced a polite smile.
Duan Fei, hands in his pockets, leisurely followed Connor not far behind. Only then did he take two steps closer, his voice slightly louder. "Mr. Qi Si, what you're saying is that one of the most important conditions for the cooperation between Red Planet and President Xu this time is your Qi family's 'Spirit Beast Contract.' The Qi family has made a great contribution. Mr. Qi Si, you've come to Red Planet in person, and they will surely treat you and your group well. Besides, you're here to deliver supplies."
You bastard, you covet other people's things and even have the nerve to dance in front of the owner.
The original owner had his credit taken away from him, so he returned the favor by bringing supplies and personally delivering love to the people of Red Star, earning a fortune from his good reputation.
Duan Fei naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity. He'd recorded the entire process under the guise of official business. This was an emergency decision made by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and some of the Federation's dignitaries. The civil unrest on Red Planet was horrific, and their Federation absolutely couldn't afford to repeat the same mistakes.
Therefore, the Qi family is particularly important at this time. The Qi family's righteousness and good reputation have always been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of the Federation. Now, because of Xu Yanqing, the Federation has been in a state of false calm before the storm. Rapidly improving the Qi family's status in the Federation is the first judgment of federal politicians, reminding the people of the Federation that the Qi family is still the anchor. Using an outstanding family like the Qi family to stabilize public sentiment is a tactic used by politicians.
Also, it is the best tailwind for the Qi family.
