Ren Zhong interrupted Ying Feng, "Are you saying that we need to consult Ying Ye's opinion? How absurd does that sound?"
He distinctly rembered that in a certain tiline, Ying Feng had decisively drawn his gun and killed Ying Hao.
Now this guy was dodging the issue, which seed utterly ridiculous.
"Enough, Ying Feng, you need not say more. My concessions are limited, and so is my patience. Although my company under my command might not be the wealthiest, its influence is sufficient. As for Ying Ye, I think if I personally intervene, I can certainly persuade him. The position of Marshal must be granted to willingly or not. I'm heading back to Source Star and will see you in a month."
After speaking, Ren Zhong got up and left directly.
Once Ren Zhong was out the door, the old ice pops imdiately began to discuss intensively.
The atmosphere beca a little tense.
In the end, it was Ma Zhongfei who gave a more definitive statent: "Although the ard battleships produced by Source Star have so capability in space warfare, they fundantally rely on the coordination and control of the 'Network' to exert their superior combat power. If we go by the current standards of brainpower calculation, the ard fleet poses no threat to our Tracers, nor are they a match for the Ice Sealing Army. Even if we were to assign the position of Fleet Marshal to the Angel Envoy, nothing unexpected would happen. By the ti we return and the 'Network' is repaired and back in control of the fleet, the Angel Envoy would only be a nominal commander, while real control of the fleet is still held by those of us with control over the 'Network'. This way, we achieve substantial accomplishnts without offending him. Friends, the Angel Envoy is truly high nobility. We've completed our primary task; our next focus should be on pleasing the Angel Envoy. We should play the role of reading with the prince."
After listening, the others thought carefully and agreed that his words made sense.
At this mont, Barton Augustus raised a question, "Ying Feng, your descendant Ying Hao built a Star System Level Main Cannon, using the sa managent program as the ard battleships. Ren Zhong had been very close to Ying Hao, so he should know about the existence of the Star System Level Main Cannon. Therefore, the authority of the Marshal position he ntioned likely includes control over the Star System Level Main Cannon, which poses so threat to the Tracker Spaceship."
Upon hearing this, Ying Feng laughed heartily, "Don't be ridiculous. That low-end product made by stacking Beam Energy Cannons can only lock onto inconvenient planetary targets. For a planet, that cannon might be a deadly weapon, a God's rod. But we are on a Tracker Spaceship, impossible to be locked on. Even if hit directly, it couldn't penetrate the outer force field shield. Once we activate full-channel stealth and comnce drifting maneuvers, how would they even lock on a second shot? It's nothing to fear."
...
As Ren Zhong's Water Drop set sail, he received a communication request from the old ice pops.
No surprises, Ma Zhongfei, representing the others, straightforwardly agreed to his demands and expressed embarrassnt over their earlier hesitations, covering it up with so remarks.
Ren Zhong did not hold grudges, simply accepting their concession.
At the sa ti, Ren Zhong gave them face.
Ren Zhong indicated that the order need not be issued directly by them but could be arranged internally on Source Star. He would influence Ying Ye and the Nine Major Groups' people to apply to them first, and then they would just nod in agreent.
After all, it was a non-warti period, and direct appointnt by them would not adhere to protocol. However, if nominated by subordinate colonists eligible for the Great Migration, they could seamlessly go along, aligning with Ren Zhong's purpose without violating norms—everyone would be pleased.
The old ice pops were very convinced and particularly grateful for Ren Zhong's considerate arrangent.
Once Ren Zhong returned to Source Star, he headed straight for ngdu City for a face-to-face with Li Yang.
"My good brother, I have taken further control over the Revival Plan's satellite network and am ready to act. Mobilize our friends to push for , the recognized top military Commander of Source Star, to the position of Commander. I will help you root out their hiding places."
Li Yang was delighted, "Great!"
Two days later, without any surprises or ripples, Ren Zhong appeared at the highest deliberation hall of the Association in Upper Origin Capital and was crowned Fleet Marshal of the Source Star Colonial Army's ard fleet before the nine cryo Elders via video.
As expected by Ren Zhong, although Li Yang had spent most of these years in slumber, his 'circle of friends' had already spread to many top structures within the Nine Major Groups. Li Yang controlled substantial power holders like Ren Zhong, Ying Ye, and Hugh Augustus. After all, his 'friend' slots were limited, catching the thieves' king first was a priority.
