Chapter 561: Chapter 534 Sensation in the Federation (Please Subscribe)
Xu Mengran was the second person to know the contents of the Divine Court deliberations, and at this moment, he was located at the headquarters of the East Asia National Security Bureau.
Due to the low-key and cautious way of doing things on the East Asian side, their penetration within the Great Song was comparatively deep, and their power was preserved fairly well, so they learned the details of the deliberations relatively quickly.
Xu Mengran was also stunned for a moment after seeing the proposal Lin Rui made before the East Abyss during the Divine Court session.
“This kid, I really underestimated him—”
Xu Mengran took a deep breath, turned off the smoke alarm system in the room, walked to the window, and lit a cigarette.
Xu Mengran took a puff and then gazed out of the window, lost in rapid thoughts.
...
When he first learned about Lin Rui, knowing that this kid might take up the role of Commander of the Spy Detection Bureau, he only hoped that Lin Rui could infiltrate the core of the Imperial City Department, a crucial division of Great Song, to assist East Asia in uncovering some core secrets of Great Song, especially regarding the East Abyss.

Xu Mengran had never imagined that Lin Rui could go this far, let alone the fact that this youngster could single-handedly promote the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Earth Federation and Great Song.
Xu Mengran guessed that soon, the entire political and business circles of the Earth Federation would be boiling with excitement.
For those who look forward to and favor peace, this is undoubtedly the long-awaited shot of adrenaline.
It’s also good news for the vast majority of businessmen, especially those in the pharmaceutical and industrial sectors.
For the first time in eight hundred years since the Earth Federation came into contact with the people of Tianji Star, they saw a glimmer of hope for normalizing relations with Tianji Star and legalizing trade.
This means that trade with Tianji Star will inevitably expand, the pharmaceutical and industrial sectors will be able to obtain more raw materials, and more goods can be sold to Tianji Star, resulting in a leap in the near-stagnant economy of the Earth Federation.
It was at this time that he received a message marked ‘Great Elder.’
Great Elder: Fully ensure and promote the achievements Admiral Lin has obtained in the Divine Court deliberations of Great Song! This will be our cornerstone of peace with Tianji Star.
Great Elder: Ensure his safety!
Xu Mengran: Understood!
Xu Mengran continued to gaze into the distance.
Even without the Great Elder’s orders, Xu Mengran would do his utmost to ensure Lin Rui’s safety and the success of his achievements.
But now Xu Mengran was considering something else.
Not long ago, Xu Mengran had met with Linghu Mingde, whose recent condition seemed to be very good; not only had his spirit become very relaxed, but there also seemed to be signs of an impending breakthrough.
Besides the apparent signs of his energy, Fang Ranran’s rapid rise in the political world also aroused suspicion.
How could ‘Heavenly Fox’ not be aware of the Federation’s high-level rules? If one doesn’t have sufficient clout, they shouldn’t overreach.
Fang Ranran’s greed could only bring her trouble, and they can withstand it now, but what if Linghu Mingde dies?
Do they have the confidence to endure?
Moreover, to Xu Mengran’s knowledge, Lin Rui had the ability to heal Armament Syndrome.
Most of the Dragon Transformation Masters under his command joined Lin Rui’s personal workshop because of this.
So does Lin Rui have the ability to help someone like Linghu Mingde, an Eight Realms Martial Cultivator, cure Armament Syndrome?
No! It’s not just about treatment; the armaments within Linghu Mingde’s body must have undergone significant changes, enabling his Blood Qi and True Yuan to grow strong enough to reach a breakthrough.
Xu Mengran narrowed his eyes, pondering that if the situation was as he speculated, then that kid was not acting honorably.
At the same time, the Federation President and Chief of Staff were on the phone with Li Xianglong in the inner courts of the Divine Palace.
The Federation President leaned forward unconsciously with both hands braced against the desk, staring at Li Xianglong on the screen, his eyes filled with disbelief: “Did Lin Hao really make such a proposal? Is he indeed the wielder of King Yama’s Blade who has slain over 3,000 of our Alien Walkers? And East Abyss has agreed?”
“Mr. President, the contents of this divine court consultation have already spread throughout the upper echelons of the Great Song Court, and neither Emperor Song nor the three Divine Envoys have issued any clarification.”
Li Xianglong crossed his arms in front of him, his expression equally unsettled: “This may be an intentional move by the Divine Palace to send signals to the outside world, relaying the stance of East Abyss, in order to reduce the resistance to establishing embassies and opening up trade. So personally, I believe this is one hundred percent true.”
Still, the Federation President found it incomprehensible, shaking his head: “Inconceivable! Utterly inconceivable!”
The Chief of Staff pondered: “Mr. President, from my interactions with Lin Hao, not only is this person upright and incorrupt, benevolent and kind, but also possesses exceptional ability and strategic acumen, displaying versatile tactics. He also has a certain understanding of our Earth Federation. He can be described as having both literary grace and military prowess. Considering his straightforward and daring counsel at today’s divine court consultation, it shows he bears his country and people in his heart!”
The Chief of Staff continued, conjuring documents in mid-air with hand gestures: “I believe the Security Bureau and Military Intelligence’s analysis of Lin Hao has been incomplete and biased. Since his appointment as the Commander of the Spy Detection Bureau, he has indeed inflicted heavy casualties on our Alien Walkers. However, reviewing every case since his tenure, each operation has been justifiable and backed by the law.
It’s evident that he does not harbor enmity towards our Heavenly Demons, but is merely dedicated and abhors evil. He’s a man of foresight and also sees the benefits that the Federation offers to Great Song and its people. Moreover, he’s brave enough to speak his mind in front of East Abyss.”
The Chief of Staff felt a twinge of guilt as he recalled the secret meeting with Lin Hao not long ago.
He thought that Lin Hao must have had no choice but to accept the Vajra Battle Dragon seed in order to gain his trust.
The Chief of Staff regretted his actions, feeling that he had underestimated Lin Hao’s generosity and dishonored the integrity and conduct of this National Guardian.
“Our intelligence agents’ analysis of Lin Hao has indeed been far from accurate.”
The President nodded in agreement, and then his Blood Qi began to surge uncontrollably.
The President needed to exert all his strength to contain his excitement: “If this is true, it will be the biggest diplomatic breakthrough since the Earth Federation’s first contact with Sky Extreme Star.”
The President could hardly imagine the scenario of his glorious return to the Federation after signing a trade and diplomatic treaty with Great Song.
—Such an accomplishment would be a historic honor and would greatly boost both his and his party’s chances in the elections!
“However, I noticed in Lin Hao’s proposal, there is a line—’These two political measures are greatly beneficial to the Heavenly Demons, hence the Heavenly Demon side must be prepared to make concessions in the actual treaty terms.’ That means, if we want to facilitate Great Song’s opening of the port and establishing diplomatic relations, we must make certain concessions.”
“I think as long as it doesn’t involve the essential laws and statues of the state, we can compromise in other areas!” the Chief of Staff mused. “As far as I know, the sentiment inside Great Song is still very conservative, with strong hostility towards us. We must show them our sincerity. Of course, the key lies in East Abyss. We also have to make East Abyss feel respected and not let small issues overshadow more significant gains.”
The President nodded, a slight sneer appearing in his eyes: “Go notify those Congressmen that in order to push forward this peace agreement, the government has decided to arrest Zang Shaochen and strip him of his position as Commander of the Second Starship Group! I hope they can offer the utmost assistance.”
The issue of dealing with Zang Shaochen had been a thorny one for him; even if they agreed to Great Song’s terms to deal with Zang Shaochen rigorously, he was unsure how to proceed.
Any missteps could cause the Earth Federation to pay a heavy price, even leading to civil war.
But now, with news of Great Song’s willingness to negotiate trade and diplomatic relations, the President’s situation had greatly improved, and his authority within the Federation was to be reinforced.
He now had sufficient power and leverage to deal with the matter concerning Zang Shaochen.
At this moment, Li Xianglong gazed out the window with a complex expression, looking in the direction of the Second Starship Group’s headquarters.
He knew his old friend was likely to fall from power.
Zang Shaochen did indeed command considerable military force with a fleet of advanced warships under his control. However, once the Congressional Honorary Members reached a consensus, Zang Shaochen would have no capacity to resist.
What would Zang Shaochen do next? Would he launch a rebellion? That would be the most foolish choice.
Even within the Longevity Association itself, many factions would likely defect, preferring to reach a peace agreement. If Lin Rui’s maneuvering was even more astute, some might even wish to present Zang Shaochen’s head to Great Song as a gesture of goodwill, thereby securing a trade license from Great Song.
Meanwhile, at Lin Mansion, Lin Rui had already met with his Dragon Guard Captain—the freshly promoted to Eight Realms, Emperor Rank, Xianyu Yan!
