Ye Mengqi's arrest not only triggered riots across the federation, but also put the federal government in a dilemma.

Next to the floor-to-ceiling windows in the east arch hall of the Prime Minister's residence, Prime Minister Cameron did not handle heavy official duties as usual, but looked silently at the slightly cool spring rain outside the window, and did not speak for a long time.

Although he was elected by the House of Lords and later authorized by Queen Elizabeth as prime minister, during his four years in power, he probably left the impression of mediocrity and cowardice on the federal people. He did not dare to rise up in the face of heavy persecution from the empire.

His resistance was not outstanding at all, and he even lost some points, so his reputation has never been too high.

However, only he himself and a few people knew clearly that although the Federation appeared to be a peaceful and prosperous time, with singing and dancing, this was actually a blind illusion of the vast majority of the people.

In the early days after the Silver Cross War, the Federation still relied on genetic components and the proceeds from the "Reproductive Rights Management Regulations" to quickly replenish the depleted treasury, invest in infrastructure and financial recovery, and then gradually smooth out the war caused by the war with the Empire.

trauma.

But who knew that this was an act of drinking poison to quench thirst due to the pressure of the empire and the domestic situation? Because of this decree, the originally fragmented grassroots construction was severely polarized, leaving many people at the bottom who had just struggled from the war into an extremely difficult situation.

In a passive and embarrassing situation.

On a marginally backward planet like Titan, there are still many people who are worried about food and clothing, and many people are resentful because of reproductive rights. What's worse, is the birth of black households.

These are extremely unstable factors. The prosperity on the surface of the Federation is actually built on a crater that may erupt at any time. This can be seen from the increasingly frequent criminal crimes and rapes.

The reason why he successively vetoed the launch of an anti-aggression war with the empire was because although foreign wars could divert domestic class conflicts in a short period of time, once the war was frustrated and fell into a stalemate or even defeated, it would immediately detonate the powder keg that would destroy the Federation.

Originally, everyone thought that the victory of this war would buy the Federation a few more decades for internal digestion. However, what he did not expect was that the internal rebellion in the Empire also inspired the Imperial people to target the Federation.

This internal weakness.

The last massacre in the capital star circle went out of control, and this public announcement is the best proof. The empire's secret work has penetrated into the oppressed people at the bottom, and it is trying to control this power to subvert the federation.

What is even more chilling is that both the military god guarding the Blackstone Frontier and the Queen Elizabeth hiding behind the scenes have begun to make moves.

From this point of view, Xia Jingming's death makes people feel a little relieved.

However, the immediate arrest of Ye Mengqi has once again posed a problem for the federal government.

Because Ye Mengqi's identity was exposed, the rebellion in the federation was ignited, which was a huge pressure for the government.

Now only the upper echelons of the federation know that this little girl, who looks harmless to humans and animals, is actually one of the leaders of the underworld in the capital star circle, and she must not be let go easily.

But the government is hesitant and even afraid to reveal her true identity. If that were the case, it would be a subversion for the people of the Federation.

The more serious problem is that if his identity is made public, it will bring the most sensitive political issue of the Federation to the surface, and God knows what irreparable consequences it will cause.

What troubles them right now is that they don't even have the right to take the initiative now. Nightingale has taken the suspect away from the hands of the FBI. This is a big blow to many politicians, and it is even more serious.

It aroused the vigilance of many people.

Everyone discovered that after the announcement of the popular science, Elizabeth's activities suddenly became more frequent, giving people a sudden feeling of being precarious.

"Does everything I have done since I came to power really be in vain?"

Prime Minister Cameron squinted his eyes and looked at the drizzle falling from the sky above the proceedings, feeling suddenly sad.

"The best way at the moment is to quell the gang. If Ye Mengqi can be controlled by the FBI, given a certain life sentence, and claims to be just assisting in the investigation of the case, most of the gangs in the federation will surely be quelled.

Come down." The Secretary-General walked to the Prime Minister's side and said in a deep voice.

"But the key is how to get people from Nightingale. Will Your Majesty compromise so easily? This time she did it with such fanfare. It is obvious that she is angry with everyone because of Xia Jingming's assassination." Prime Minister Cameron slapped his palms.

Looking at the tabletop, he said with some annoyance.

The secretary-general fell silent immediately.

"Sorry... I'm in a bad mood and have a wrong attitude." Cameron apologized.

The secretary-general smiled and shook his head.

If this scene were seen by the Federal House of Lords, some people would definitely feel guilty.

Although the Secretary-General nominally assists the Prime Minister in his work, he is selected through the House of Lords and has the responsibility of supervising the Prime Minister's work to some extent.

However, I am afraid that not many people know that the two have met many years ago because of their similar political views, and they are considered close friends. In addition, the interests of the forces behind them do not conflict much, so in daily work, it is probably a rare harmonious combination.

"Actually, now is a good opportunity." The secretary-general didn't take it seriously and reminded him kindly.

"You mean, Su Ye Hongtu?" Cameron thought for a moment, then shook his head dejectedly and said, "No, the chaos within the federation is ultimately our own problem. Although Su Ye Hongtu was dubbed the God of War,

, but we know the way

, he is a member of the Empire after all, which is not trustworthy, not to mention that their shadow has been involved in the two recent incidents. Although it is a way to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, both of them are beyond our control. It is too dangerous. If

A moment of loss of control will be a disaster for the federation."

"Wouldn't it be a disaster if things were allowed to develop passively?"

Seeing that the Prime Minister was hesitating, the Secretary-General paused and continued: "The most important thing is that even if Su Yehongtu had any plans, he was too impatient and gave up the home ground of the Blackstone Sector and came to the Capital Star Circle alone. After all,

If he falls behind, even if something goes wrong, he won't be able to make too big a storm, and he will have to take huge political risks, so..."

Listening to his friend's political opinions and thinking about the few remaining terms in his term, Cameron's expression changed several times, and he finally nodded. After making a few phone calls, he seemed to be inspired and looked at the Secretary-General, "Help me.

Contact Principal Jiang."

With the secret connection established, Cameron began to talk to Jiang Luming. After receiving certain promises and agreements, he visibly relaxed and his action of putting down the phone seemed much gentler.

The arch hall of the official residence was quiet for a long time. The federal leader stood at the table expressionlessly. After thinking for a long time, he nodded slightly towards the secretary-general, seeming to be talking to the other party or talking to himself.

Sigh: "Everything, for the Federation."

"Everything, for the Federation." The Secretary-General affirmed, and then walked out of the Prime Minister's Residence.

Before leaving, he glanced at Cameron's face, which was a little dazed due to overwork, and said with a sarcastic look: "Is it all for the Federation?"

Under the current situation, in order to ensure the stability and unity of the federation, certain concessions must be made. The outgoing Prime Minister Mellon thought this in his heart, but was unwilling to think about the federal government making decisions in accordance with his previous agreement.

How much of certain decisions are really for the federation, or are they more related to future interests?

In the Yinxiang Villa area, which is dozens of kilometers away from the Prime Minister's official residence, Shi Chen, who had just returned to his residence from Sauron Castle, was also looking at the spring rain outside the window with worry.

Elizabeth's attitude and decisiveness were completely beyond Shi Chen and Chen Fengxiao's expectations, and even gave Shi Chen a vague illusion that Her Majesty the Queen had the same plan, but he and Chen Fengxiao just happened to put themselves in this situation.

Two key chess pieces were handed over, and Elizabeth calmly held them at her fingertips, about to land on the chaotic and mysterious chessboard.

She was so confident. However, Shi Chen probably didn't expect that there were also people in the Prime Minister's Residence who, after receiving certain instructions, reached certain cooperation with certain people, and their attitude was also so firm.

They are all eager to end the chaotic or imminent collapse of the situation in front of them, and return the Federation to the happy world of singing and dancing, and dividing flesh with silver knives. They are confident that they have the ability to achieve their goals and resolve disputes as quickly as possible.

He tries to bring order out of chaos and thinks that everything he does is for the Federation.

There have been many similar dramatic scenes in history. The enemy betrayed, compromised, and divided. In a second, comrades became enemies and enemies became partners. Before the shady scene, the people were appeased and the society was no longer turbulent. After the shady scene, various families

Share the benefits equally and treat each other equally.
