Chapter 869 - 888: Mo Si is Like a Seamless Egg

The lights in the Cabinet Senate burned brightly throughout the night.

When mentioning the Cabinet, one had to carefully explain the Federation’s upper structure. The entire Federation Star System was composed of three factions.

First, the Imperial Family and the nobles.

Second, the Cabinet Senate.

Third, the Free Alliance, composed of aristocratic families like the Mo Family, who upheld the previous monarch’s dying wish to promote equal human rights.

However, the three factions weren’t completely separated. Among them, the Imperial Family and the Free Alliance were sharply divided, while the composition of the Senate was very complicated. It included nobles, members of the Free Alliance, and ordinary people who had climbed up step by step through their own means. It was considered the most intricate and complex part of the system.

The three factions were mutually hostile yet intertwined, holding up the entire Federation.

In the early years, the Imperial Family had always been dominant. Later, the younger generation of the Free Alliance, led by Mo Si, rose to prominence. Combined with the Star Network becoming increasingly developed and people’s lives settling down, ideologies began to shift. More and more ordinary people believed that "equal rights" were good, causing the Free Alliance’s power to grow increasingly robust.

Following the trajectory of history, the two sides were bound to clash head-on eventually.

To vie for power, one needed strength.

The Imperial Family controlled the Guard Team and the Forbidden Guard Army, as well as parts of the stationed armies and some legions.

The Free Alliance originally didn’t hold much military power. But later, Mo Si suddenly rose to prominence, shining on the battlefield and becoming the Imperial Blade. By striking fear into the Polar Star, the military power in his hands naturally increased.

Not only that, because of years of continuous warfare, the Expeditionary Army’s valor was renowned throughout the interstellar space.

Moreover, Mo Si himself had an excellent reputation on the Star Network, with numerous supporters.

The stronger he became and the more public support he gained, the more he was viewed as a thorn in the side.

Unfortunately for his enemies, Mo Si kept a low profile year-round and rarely made public appearances. Even when he appeared in the media, he was a man of few words; most of his coverage consisted of videos showing him tearing apart the Insect Race with his bare hands.

With just that, there was absolutely no way to smear him. He didn’t play around with women, didn’t care about money, didn’t covet power, and didn’t seek out lackeys. He didn’t have a single blemish on him!

The Imperial Family hated him to the core but could do nothing about it. Yet this time, he suddenly deployed troops! He made an abnormal login, recklessly piloting a Warship to Q3!

Such a massive blunder drove the Imperial Family and the nobles crazy with joy. After a brief moment of feigned pity that Q3 might be doomed (after all, the Numbered Planets were all dirty; if investigated, none could escape public condemnation), everyone was still ecstatic!

So what if he had discovered an anomaly? If he thought there was an anomaly, couldn’t he apply for an investigation? Even though applying would give everyone time to prepare, ensuring nothing would be found, the netizens didn’t know that.

Therefore, this group was prepared to seize onto this point to the death. They planned to attack Mo Si for despising Federation law due to his military merits, accuse him of abusing his military power, and demand a reduction in his authority within the Military Department! They wanted to push a general from the nobles’ side out to rival him!

Meetings in the Cabinet looked just like shouting matches. Brother Mo was also present among them, wanting to speak up for Mo Si. But these nobles were simply too excited. Having caught a mistake, they would absolutely not let it go.

Thus, the next morning, while the discussion was still brewing online and netizens were still wondering why the Imperial Blade had appeared on Q3 or what mission he was executing, the Senate officially issued a public letter online to attack Mo Si.

The letter stated:

"Neither our administration nor the Military Department issued any mission notification to Admiral Mo Si.

"Yesterday, many people sent messages asking about the reason the Warship changed course to Q3. The Senate is also unaware of it.

"At present, our institution is trying to contact Admiral Mo Si to inquire about the specific reasons for this matter."

In this letter, the Senate’s statement was overly cautious, appearing exceptionally soft and useless. They were tough as nails during meetings but turned as soft as mush when issuing letters.

This—was precisely the rhetoric of the adult political sphere.
