Chapter 489 Who is the chess player?
Ivan looked back and saw a fierce battle between the two sides.
Both sides were targeting him and would soon react. He didn't have as much time as he thought. Therefore, in order to prevent the Federation from identifying them and forcing them to join forces, he had to add fuel to the fire.
Ivan stood up straight and waved in the direction of the two sides fighting: "Go!"
A few people took advantage of the tense situation between the two sides to fish in troubled waters and disrupt the situation.
Ethan was so angry that his teeth were itching. Just when the Federation was about to show signs of loosening up, Ivan came out and took a walk, causing the other side to output a fierce firepower...
The battle situation remained at a stalemate.
However, Ivan did not wait for his reinforcements.
The warship waiting to land found itself locked by unknown rays, and urgently responded to the command center and temporarily retreated to a safe area.
This means that Ivan still has to rely on himself.
"Go first!" Ivan pondered for a few seconds and gave the order decisively.
Everyone stopped fighting and quickly moved away from the area.
Ethan spat viciously. After being dragged by Song Yanzheng for a while, he finally broke free and followed him to evacuate, but Ivan had already left his sight.

Lian Yi walked into the office and Nie Guansheng was already waiting there.
The light screen was scrolling with scenes from space, and his expression became cold and bloodthirsty again.
Yun Mo raised her eyes and looked towards the light screen.
The recorder of the mecha was affected by the LB diffuse scatterer, and the image was not very clear, but it could be seen that the space station was breached, and soldiers wearing federal mechas were floating in the air. There were also soldiers covering their injured abdomens, pressing the early warning device, and sending messages to their own side.
However, the space station seemed to have been abandoned.
In the end, only fireworks rose up in the sky, destroying all the evidence.
Lian Yi looked at the specially marked message on the intelligent computer.
"Captain, space station RS-78 is under attack."
"Except for the LB diffuser, our ship's guns are malfunctioning, our defenses have been breached, and the six air combat teams, three hundred men, are all fighting to the death!"
"They are coming. There is no time. Goodbye, Captain..."
Along with the last sentence, the image shows the soldier slumping down from the console. At the last moment, he was still trying to warn the nearest space station.
Yun Mo's expression also became stern and respectful.
No wonder, no wonder he looked so sad.
Nie Guansheng turned off the screen and looked at Lian Yi. "The Wolfe garrison must have been able to detect the abnormal information at that time, but when they received the message from the space station, they chose to remain silent. Did they think that Sky 1 was too powerful?"
Lian Yi sneered, "Obviously not. This is a murder, a murder of our 72nd Army stationed at the Sky Dome 1 Space Station, carried out by a coordinated attack from both inside and outside."
Nie Guansheng asked, "What are you going to do? While the Federation appears united on the surface, the three armies are actually hindering each other. Tang Jianmo's election campaign is not going well, so he might deliberately create a war and use our 72nd Army as a token of his allegiance. It's not impossible. Right now, he seems to be more supportive of sending troops than anyone else."
Yun Mo was a little puzzled. "How much does a shell cost? How many innocent people would die if a war were started? Wouldn't that be a huge drag on the economy? How would this benefit him?"
Nie Guansheng smiled coldly: "Benefits? That's too much."
Yun Mo listened with her eyes tilted. Although she was knowledgeable, she had never encountered a complicated political situation before. The shameless choice of politicians to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of their own had not yet refreshed her three views.
Lian Yi explained, "General Nie's approval rating is far higher than Tang Jianmo's right now. Tang Jianmo is well aware that he and General Nie have long disagreed on political views. If Wen Tenghui were to take the position, it would be fine, but if General Nie were to take the position, it would absolutely be a devastating blow to him. So he has the motivation to do something desperate to save the situation."
Yunmo listened quietly.
Nie Guansheng continued, "War plunders wealth and diverts internal conflicts. The incident with Sky Dome 1 has been widely exposed in the media on Central Star, and public sentiment is running high. Many believe war is imminent."
"At the moment, he has relatively few moves left. Not changing the head of state during wartime is probably his best option."
"The mastermind behind this incident..."
He didn't say anything else, but everyone in the room understood.
Therefore, instead of letting General Nie take the position, Tang Jianmo would rather the current head of state not step down. This way, there will be a few years of buffer time to replan. As for war, the victor can heal all wounds, right?
Yun Mo sighed: "It's really shameless, and the clues are buried for a long time."
At this time, Lian Yi's communication rang.
He answered the call expressionlessly, and Tang Jianmo's voice came out.
"Major General Lian, the Alpha Alliance is pressing towards us. SS7's position in the Eastern Mali theater is blocked. Please have your men do everything they can to annihilate them and relieve the pressure on the Eastern Theater."
Lian Yi's expression suddenly turned cold: "General Tang, is the 17th Army so weak?"
Tang Jianmo's face was filled with anxiety, revealing a deep concern for his country and its people. His tone was also sincere: "Major General Lian, hundreds of enemy warships are approaching. Our eastern front is the forefront and the pressure is great. We need your assistance. I have obtained the approval of the head of state."
Lian Yi smiled, "I'm sorry, but the East Mali theater currently only has one division, and we've been fighting an entire enemy army for 48 hours. You should understand the pressure this disparity in strength creates, right? They've already reached their limit by providing a buffer for subsequent teams, allowing them to rebuild the space station. Our army needs to execute a strategic retreat."
In other words, it is impossible to rush into a flame and seek one's own death.
Tang Jianmo, however, was uncharacteristically firm: "Please don't give me an excuse. I've already received authorization from the head of state. Only the 72nd Army has the ability to arrive within the time limit. Are you trying to disobey orders?"
Lian Yi didn't even raise his eyelids: "General Tang is experienced and will definitely be able to withstand it."
Tang Jianmo said, "You must understand that this coordinated operation is of great significance. Don't act rashly..."
Lian Yi had already interrupted him: "General Tang, if you have nothing else to do, then leave it at that. I'm very busy here."
Tang Jianmo hung up the call with a gloomy look in his eyes. A technician immediately stepped forward and asked, "General Tang?"
He handed over the audio, and the other party looked happy. But half a day later, he came back with a dark face and shook his head: "No, nothing is left."
"Lian Yi!"
Tang Jianmo kicked the chair in anger, but soon he almost broke out in sweat on his back.
If he can even delete the communication records, then...
Thinking of this, Tang Jianmo panicked a little. He quickly turned on his smart brain and optical brain and checked his records item by item... No, he has always been meticulous in his work, so there should be no evidence.
Nie Guansheng also snorted coldly and shook his head: "He really won't give up. It's happened so many times."
"hypocritical!"
Yun Mo sat in the room, listening to these military secrets, without feeling uncomfortable at all.
Lian Yi turned to look at her: "Is there anything you want to ask?"
Yun Mo chuckled: "Are you really disobeying orders?"
Nie Guansheng rubbed her head with his big hands, ruffling her hair into a mess again.
"Tsk."
Yun Mo frowned and glared at him, then measured his fighting power and moved a spot further away.
Nie Guansheng said, "Tang Jianmo is a villain who always uses chicken feathers as a token of authority. He's set traps more than once. You've heard him say so much, but have you produced any documents? I'm afraid the so-called authorization was just verbal, and I don't know how it was passed on verbally."
"What he's best at is playing dumb and leaving things half-baked. He's done this many times. Only someone like Mark Zheyu could be so easily manipulated by him."
Yun Mo nodded: "Oh, I'm glad you're okay."
"Any more questions?"
Yun Mo said: "Can you tell me why you are here, and why I am here."
Lian Yi tapped the table with his right hand: "Okay. However, this matter is a bit complicated."
Yunmo spread his hands to show that he was all ears.
Lian Yi called up the picture in the intelligent brain and projected it onto the light screen. The relationship between the parties was clear at a glance. It was indeed complicated enough to support a palace fighting drama.
But his words were brief and clear, and Yunmo quickly understood.
In short, it's a circle.
Someone in the Federation was secretly colluding with Alpha and reselling military supplies such as "Heaven Fire." He was even implicated in the collapse of the Eastern Mali theater. Initial suspicions suggest this individual is Major General Chelsea, the supreme commander of the Wolf Star garrison.
Chelsea realized that the situation was not good and wanted to blame Alpha's general Ivan.
Unexpectedly, Ivan was framed by Ethan and fell into the hands of the Federation, making his plan impossible to implement.
Chelsea cried "stop thief" and let Ivan go, and sent Song Yanzheng and others to hunt him down as a cover-up.
Song Yanzheng understood that he could neither catch Ivan nor let him go. This hot potato needed someone to take over, and he set his sights on Yun Mo.
Unexpectedly, Lian Yi intervened, and Song Yanzheng had to do his best to perform.
Ivan used Song Yanzheng to block Ethan and escaped the pursuit...
At present, the situation has developed here.
Haha, what a good plan. Who is in the game and who is the winner?
Yun Mo twitched her lips. "What about you? What about Instructor Lian's attitude?"
Lian Yi only said one sentence: "There is a saying in ancient times, don't chase the enemy who is desperate, just wait for him to destroy himself..."
Yun Mo understood that they were planning to let Ivan and Ethan go back and continue fighting among themselves to relieve the pressure on the federal front.
"Anything else?" she asked.
Lian Yi switched the perspective to near space and said, "Blood debt must be repaid with blood. All my people are precious. You will have to pay with more than twice as many lives as you kill of my people."
The four warships over there have surrounded Alpha's supporting starship. The mecha soldiers of both sides are engaged in a fierce firefight, and it is obvious who has the advantage.
Nie Guansheng took out a photo and pushed it in front of Yun Mo: "You can't find any evidence against Chelsea from the inside. Go meet this person. He lives in..."
He just told her to go and meet him, without saying what to do specifically.
Yun Mo didn't ask, but just stood up and said "OK".
