Chapter 486 Inference
"Hmph, I think it's probably exaggerated. With his skinny appearance, how can he help such an elite force to recapture the city?"

A person in the room said angrily, his words were obviously full of disdain for Franklin, and it was obvious that he was not very convinced of Franklin as the "leader of the organization".

"But considering that he was just a Senate intern at the time, the fact that he was able to attend the celebration reception speaks volumes."

The middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader of this small group spoke:

"According to the gossip I got, it seems that it was because Atlas 'rewarded' Franklin that he was able to attend this reception, and he was also given an important position after the war. To be honest, with his background and qualifications, even if he is very capable, it is not reasonable for him to be promoted so quickly, so I think there may be Atlas Group behind him to help him."

The middle-aged man's words caused the room to fall into silence for a moment. Everyone was digesting the information revealed in this passage and making plans in their minds.

Soon, someone spoke up:
"Atlas Group. Or why did Mr. Rebir help him so much? Is he Franklin's hidden father? Anyway, I looked at his resume and personal information, and I couldn't see any relationship between him and Atlas Group."

"From their appearance, they should be about the same age."

"Who knows? The bosses of these giant companies like to play some weird tricks. Maybe Rebir is just an old man who had a full body plastic surgery to make himself look like a young man."

"Hey! Don't say it, don't say it."

Seeing that the topic of discussion was becoming increasingly off-topic, the middle-aged man, who could no longer bear it, coughed loudly, and the room returned to silence.

After looking around and seeing that no one else was going to speak, the middle-aged man expressed his guess:
"I guess Franklin may be an 'agent' trained by the Atlas Group in the Rubion system."

"agent?!"

The other people in the room suddenly let out a low cry, and then they quickly thought of a terrible possibility.

"You mean to say that although the Atlas Group has severed ties with the Rubion Galaxy, it has actually been secretly planning to return here?"

"It's very likely!" The middle-aged man waved his fist excitedly, as if a detective had finally solved a mystery that had troubled him for a long time.

"Just imagine, this mysterious Mr. Rebir finally gained a foothold in the Rubion Galaxy, but was forced to sell all his assets and finally left here in disgrace. If it were you, would you think of coming back one day to 'avenge'?"

"But I heard that the Atlas Group made a lot of money when it finally sold its assets, while the local companies in the Rubion Galaxy that took over the assets suffered heavy losses. It is said that more than 90% of them have not been able to make back their investment yet."

Someone in the room whispered back, and it was clear that he knew a lot about Atlas Group's previous asset disposals.

But the middle-aged man was obviously dismissive of such statements. He was like many people. After discovering the "truth" that he recognized, he would firmly believe in his own guess and try his best to deny other possibilities.

"Businessman! He is a businessman! Remember, people like him are the greediest. Even if he makes a lot of money, he will not give up the opportunity to make more money, not to mention that this opportunity is likely to allow the Atlas Group to control an entire galaxy?"

"So you firmly believe that Franklin is an 'agent' cultivated by the Atlas Group in the Rubion galaxy?" one person asked with a frown.

"Eighty percent of it is!"

"Then why didn't Atlas help before? If they really wanted to help Franklin, they would have done something. Wouldn't that 'General Lampard' have blown up all the protein synthesis factories and hydroponic towers?"

"."

The middle-aged man fell silent for a moment when faced with this question. After a while, he was about to say something when the door of the room was suddenly knocked. Soon, a figure whose face could not be seen clearly walked in. After seeing everyone in the room, he spoke:

"I just received news that General Lampard, who has been confronting us, had a direct conversation with Franklin. The details of the conversation are still unclear, but Franklin directly rejected the other party's request and later announced that he would launch another attack on the area controlled by General Lampard!"
-
The news that the armed forces of the "Renaissance Alliance" were going to launch another attack on the surrounding industrial areas quickly spread throughout the alliance.

Most people are not surprised by this decision. They all know the current predicament of the "Revival Alliance". If they don't find a way to regain a few industrial areas that can produce food, a large-scale food crisis will soon affect the entire alliance.

However, there are still a small number of people who are still questioning why Franklin did not accept General Lampard's request. If the two sides join forces, they can not only solve the food crisis, but also greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the entire "Renaissance Alliance".

According to these people, Franklin was worried that his position as a leader would be lost, so he was ready to take so many people from all walks of life with him.
"So you really don't plan to say something to silence those dissenting voices?"

In the armored vehicle heading to the front line, Eleanor asked Franklin, who was also wearing a combat exoskeleton.

Franklin shook his head after hearing this. "There's nothing much to say. Rumors stop at the wise. I believe that most people in the alliance can see clearly what that 'General Lampard' wants."

"The two sides form an alliance, share military power, and the other side will open all food processing plants for us to use. To most people, this seems to be a win-win situation?"

"Form an alliance? Humph. Then relying on the advantage of armed forces, he will gradually turn the alliance into his 'military government'? Originally, our defense could still make him give up the idea of ​​attacking. After forming an alliance and opening the defense zone, won't the other party be able to disintegrate our defense in a matter of minutes? By then, we will really become lambs to be slaughtered."

"Is this person really so bad?" Eleanor asked curiously.

"Well, according to the information obtained by our spies who successfully evacuated, the other party ruled the occupied area in the form of a 'military government', and oppressed the civilians in the occupied area. It seems that some kind of hierarchy has been set up. If his troops had not firmly controlled the border area and implemented a long-term curfew policy, there would have been a large-scale refugee wave long ago."

While Franklin was explaining the reason to Eleanor, the interior of the 'Polarized Light' in the Rubion V's geostationary orbit, which maintained a covert operation mode, became busy again after a long absence.

After Tom in the captain's seat put on his suit, he moved his neck and fastened the transparent mask of the suit. At the same time, he said excitedly: "We have been hanging in orbit for so long, it is finally time for us to act!"

The tactical information coordinator on the bridge also spoke up:

"Captain! The fleets of the government and rebels are currently gathering at the north pole of the planet to confront each other. We have not found any other units in our orbit, so we can start the operation at any time."

"Very good, continue to maintain orbital monitoring of the war situation team and connect with the spy satellite to confirm the current operational progress of the 'Renaissance Alliance'!"

Tom said as he looked at the 'Battle Plan', and then he saw the item that said 'Immortal Legion'.

Tom still trembles with excitement when he thinks of the scene when Amber revealed Atlas' "top secret project" to him. At the same time, he also knows that he will never be able to get off the "pirate ship" of Atlas.

Although he never had the idea of ​​jumping off ship.

"I never thought that I would know about this project before Major Randall~"

With this far-fetched thought flashing through his mind, Tom quickly calmed down and said seriously:

"Notify the immortals in the deployment bay to enter the 'battle preparation' phase and be ready to 'knock on the door' at any time!"
