Chapter 85: After modification - 45 Life Goes On
"Which general? ..... " Fatty was a bit puzzled. This Russell was rather too arrogant. Only a general could see through your plan, not a lieutenant staff officer?
There was no point in exchanging pleasantries with such an enemy, so Fatty couldn’t be bothered with him. He waved his hand like shooing away a fly and said, "You should ask Admiral Bernadotte about that personally."
Russell encountered a setback, nodded and walked out, secretly amazed, "Even a special forces lieutenant of the Leray Federation is so brazen. Facing an Imperial Admiral who might likely become a Federation General, without a hint of respect, these federal soldiers truly have a ’nothing matters’ attitude."
The two days flew by quickly. On the early morning of the third day, before Tian Xingjian got up, the convoy welcoming Russell was already waiting outside the Simai Hotel.
To coordinate the publicity, the Federation Government put a lot of effort into the welcoming ceremony for Russell. Federation President Hamilton personally hosted the reception at Gallipalan, giving Russell ample respect for an opponent in war, while also delivering a stinging blow to the reputation of the Gazalin Empire in the eyes of the international community.
The television news over the past two days had continuous coverage of this event. The international uproar was immense, and inside Gazalin, chaos had ensued. Fatty never expected that this person whom he had kicked and beaten all the way would turn out to be so important. This admiral, who wasn’t even ranked highly among internationally renowned military figures, had triggered a domino effect of no small magnitude.
The frontline army of the Gazalin Empire on Miloke Planet collapsed entirely, the Imperial Fleet of the Newton Star System retreated in defeat, the Federation completely captured Miloke Main Star, and seized full victory on the second star, securing control over the entire Newton Star System’s space. Internal turmoil within the Empire and the soaring morale of the Federation, all due to the defection of this Imperial Admiral.
The Federation connected Russell’s special status with the victory in the Newton Star System and the POW incident, launching a campaign of propaganda that significantly tarnished the reputation of the Imperial Family of Gazalin, leaving them isolated.
