Star Survival: The Rise of the Fourth Scourge

"I wonder if the Speaker of the Council has any advice?"

As soon as he sat down on the sofa, Rex asked aloud.

Rex was not familiar with this parliament speaker.

This was the second time the two met alone.

The first time we met alone was yesterday.

Yesterday, the Speaker himself told him that he became a fleet commander.

With a faint smile, Elro said: "I can't talk about advice, I just have something to say to you."

Rex lowered his head slightly and said: "Please also ask the Speaker of Parliament to make it clear..."

The smile disappeared from his face, and Elro asked: "Do you know how many fleet commanders there are in the "Free Democratic Federation"?"

This is a non-issue because all captains know the answer to this question.

Without any hesitation, Rex replied: "There are five of them. Counting me, there are six in total."

Elro asked again: "Do you know what rules the Thirteenth Council uses to select fleet commanders?"

Rex shook his head.

He really didn't know, except for the fleet commander and the Council of Thirteen, I'm afraid no one knew.

Since its establishment, the "Free Democratic Federation" has never had a foreign war.

Ninety-nine percent of the humans on Earth encountered have been absorbed into the "Federation of Freedom and Democracy."

After all, the temptation of immortality is still great.

Without military merit, there is only one way to become a fleet commander, and that is seniority.

The first person to join the "Free Democratic Federation" is the most qualified to become a fleet commander.

but it is not the truth.

Of the five fleet commanders, three are new.

Countless people joined the "Liberal Democratic Federation" before them.

Rex said curiously: "I would like to hear the details..."

Elro smiled and said: "It's very simple. It doesn't look at seniority or military achievements. It only depends on the preferences of the Thirteen Members. There is a rule within the Thirteen Members. Each member has three fleet commander quotas, and you are The one I like."

Hearing this, Rex had a look of understanding on his face.

So that’s it…

In this way, many things can be explained.

Rex didn't have much feeling about this privilege of the Thirteenth Council.

No matter what political system, power will always be concentrated in a small group of people.

The reason why the "Liberal Democratic Federation" was able to own five star systems in just four years was entirely due to the Thirteen-person Parliament.

Because the "characteristics" of the thirteen members are the foundation of the "liberal democratic federation" and are indispensable.

As for the characteristics of the thirteen members, this is a mystery.

But Rex knew that as early as two years ago, the "Liberal Democratic Federation" completed its population task.

Now we are waiting for the announcement from "Zero".

Once the mission time limit arrives, all members of the "Free People's Federation" can complete the mission.

Some people say that the population mission released by "Zero" is to unite mankind and form alliances.

This is not unreasonable.

Because it is too difficult for one person to complete the task...

Rex stood up, bent down and saluted, and said: "Thank you to the Chairman of the Parliament for your cultivation. I will ask the Chairman of the Parliament for your guidance in the future."

Seeing Rex being so taken, Elro smiled.

He waved and said, "Sit down and talk."

Rex sat down again.

He knew very well that from now on, he would be the speaker of the parliament.

"This time I forced you to be the fleet commander and lead the fleet to the S-01919 star system. This has caused dissatisfaction among many members of the parliament. But fortunately, I have the identity of the speaker of the parliament, so I suppressed them. This operation only We can win, but we cannot lose. No matter what, the S-01919 star system must be in our hands. Only in this way can we improve our voice in the "Free and Democratic Federation."

Rex is naturally happy to be able to become a captain commander.

But, can he really complete the task?

Rex said with a hint of worry: "President of the Parliament, that livable planet has a planetary shield, maybe it is the mother planet of an alien civilization. If it is really what I think, I'm afraid..."

Leaning back, Elro smiled and said: "There is no need to worry about this. It is impossible for an alien civilization with planetary shield technology to be unable to escape from its home star. You are not in the S-01919 star system." This is the best proof when you encounter any man-made space facility. In my opinion, there must be a hidden secret. This time I went to the S-01919 star system to investigate. Even if you encounter an uncontrollable situation, I will be your backing. "What are you afraid of?"

Hearing this, Rex felt relieved.

He nodded and said: "I feel relieved with the words of the Speaker..."

Elro waved his hand and said: "Go and prepare. I will use the power in my hands to expand the size of the advance fleet as much as possible and fully assist you in completing this mission. Also, your flagship has been assigned, it is an "Astrology" "Destroyer, go and register for identity verification."

Nodding, Rex stood up and said: "President of the Parliament, then I'll go..."

When the Speaker nodded in response, Rex turned around and strode away.

Looking at Rex's leaving figure, Elro smiled faintly.

He seems to be a smart guy, which is good.

As his subordinate, you can't be smart.

But he can't be too smart, and he is somewhere between smart and not smart.

Such people are capable, easy to control, will not have any objections, and will not be too ambitious.

…

S-01919 star system.

The starry sky is endless, dark but full of stars.

In a dense group of asteroids, a huge fleet is sailing.

This fleet consists of three "Firestorm-class" escort ships, three "Cobra-class" destroyers, and one Galleon-class transport aircraft.

There are seven ships in total, seven giant ships.

Wherever the fleet passed, floating asteroids were like moths flying into a flame, crashing into the void shield in an endless stream.

Due to their slow speed, some asteroids passed directly through the void shield and hit the ship's hull.

Sparks burst out, and the asteroid immediately fell into pieces and was smashed into pieces.

This is an extremely shocking scene. The fleet is forcibly passing through the asteroid group.

"It hit, it hit..."

On the upper floor of the palace on the Yuanxing, in the hall outside the master bedroom.

Erin and Ellie looked excitedly at the asteroids that kept passing back outside the glass wall.

Some even passed directly through the void shield and hit the upper deck, bursting out with bursts of sparks.

Compared to Erin, Ellie was excited, but Li Meng was much calmer.

He was wearing a golden nightgown and was lying on a lounge chair with a lazy look on his face.

Sitting next to her was Sandra.

She was wearing a purple low-cut and tight-waisted dress, and she was holding a plate of fruit in her hand.

This time to the S-01919 star system, Mrs. Irina did not follow.

She moved the administration to Ark One with Otis.
