"My foundation, I believe Brother Gan has already investigated thoroughly, is just those things laid out in the open. Why bother asking me?"
Jufeng had just said "let me explain in detail," but immediately switched to discussing what was obvious, causing Ganwen to smile bitterly once again.
"This is your frankness? I think you are even more cunning than I, a professional politician."
Jufeng shrugged and said, "I've only learned a bit from Brother Gan. How about this: if you have any questions, just ask me directly."
Ganwen thought for a moment, summarizing his thoughts internally before asking, "First, how strong can your military capabilities be?"
This first question from Ganwen was crucial; only if Jufeng was strong enough militarily could he ultimately assist him. Otherwise, without the authority to speak, who would listen?
Jufeng pondered for a moment and seemed to understand what Ganwen meant by military capability. He replied, "You know I'm a Red-Class Mecha Pilot, and what outsiders don't know is that I've already entered the mid-tier."
Eight years had passed, and entering the mid-tier was indeed something many were unaware of; it was unexpected and left Ganwen astonished.
"You are now mid-tier?" Ganwen asked uncertainly.
Jufeng's thoughts drifted to the late Dragon Elder and then said, "As far as I know, my opponent tonight should also be mid-tier. If nothing unexpected happens, after today, there will still be five mid-tier individuals in the entire Cosmos."
Three elders, one youth, and one middle-aged man; now the young Cao Ke had become the middle-aged General Cao. One Dragon Elder had already passed away. The one about to battle Jufeng was a seasoned general who had once been in his prime but was now fifty-five years old. Jufeng implied that after this battle, he would take the place of the Dragon Elder.
Thus, there would still be five mid-tier individuals.
Ganwen was shocked by this news and took a while to digest it before saying, "If you truly are mid-tier, then taking over the Dragon Breaker Army should be relatively straightforward."
Jufeng showed no signs of pride because he had only just reached mid-tier. Moreover, in the Vast Universe space, a mid-tier pilot facing millions of Mecha Groups was still at risk.
He continued, "As you said, I can guarantee that I will take over the Dragon Breaker Army completely. Additionally, among my friends are some Crimson Rank and Tenth Rank individuals; my wife is also one of them. I believe you know that."
Ganwen looked at Vera, who gracefully acknowledged him with a nod. He naturally knew this but hearing it from Jufeng made the shock feel even more real.
Regarding what Jufeng said about the Crimson Rank and Tenth Rank, Ganwen really didn't know what to say.
"It sounds like the Crimson Rank and Tenth Rank are quite cheap coming from you."
Jufeng thought about the Five Polite Children White Dragon's hard training on Earth. He had complete confidence in them; martial arts experts inherently had an advantage in this regard, and they would not let him down.
"Whether you believe it or not, what I say is the truth."
Upon hearing this, Ganwen decided not to continue discussing the matter with Jufeng. Instead, he sharply posed a question.
"Leading an army is different from fighting alone. Are you sure you can command the Dragon Breaker Army well?"
Jufeng couldn't guarantee that; after all, he had only commanded in the Underworld. Yet, he still felt confident.
"No one is born knowing how to do this. You must believe that some people indeed have great talent in many areas."
Jufeng remained completely unpretentious, but this only made Ganwen feel more irritated.
Of course, he knew he couldn't defeat Jufeng.
Setting that issue aside, Ganwen continued, "I have a rough understanding of your economic strength. A company capable of entering the Top Ten in the Universe will be of great help to us."
Jufeng shook his head and said, "Not only that. Besides Universal Express, I will also establish a Huankezhao. You should know that Jiang Xue, the most renowned researcher at Huankezhao, is my friend. With your cooperation and my connections to a manufacturing giant on Earth, we have every opportunity to grow and thrive. This is something you probably never imagined."
Indeed, Ganwen was once again left speechless. He naturally knew about Jiang Xue, but considering he was just one person and had left all his technology at Huankezhao when he departed, he didn't expect it to have much impact. However, with Jufeng's words, it seemed he had already planned this out thoroughly; it would definitely make a difference.
After a moment of silence, Ganwen let out a slow sigh and said, "It seems I underestimated you."
Jufeng merely smiled and did not respond.
Ganwen continued, "The last question, we will have the same stance, right?"
His tone was serious enough that Jufeng also restrained his smile and became extremely earnest.
He reached out and took a data storage chip from Vera, then handed it to Ganwen while explaining, "This contains my investigation into the activities related to Huankezhao and the Eight Years Terrorist incident. Although there are no witnesses left, I believe it will serve unexpected purposes in your hands as politicians."
Jufeng stood up and continued, "My position is quite simple: any war initiated out of personal greed must be stopped. I know that Shangguan Wangyu feels this way, and so does Liu Lei. They are partners in this matter for their own interests, even if they can no longer get along harmoniously."
"I might as well be clear with you: my desire for power is limited to the Underworld on Earth. I have no intention of getting involved in cosmic disputes, yet I find myself unwillingly caught up in them. Until it's resolved, I cannot extricate myself. You are a speculator in this whirlpool; in chaotic times, everyone has a chance. Why should we let those who instigate wars benefit?"
"If you can one day sit in the Secretary-General position, I would be very pleased. That is my stance."
Jufeng's words moved Ganwen both logically and emotionally, prompting him to rise as well.
"Alright, since you are willing to say this, I won't hold back."
"Two years ago, when Huankezhao initiated the war, I was just an ordinary employee within the government. My original plan was to live life step by step, but unfortunately, life had no intention of following the usual rules."
"As you said, in chaotic times, everyone has a chance. Moreover, I stand on the side of justice; how could I not fight? How could I not strive?"
"Opportunities are rare in life, especially during chaotic times. But since we are caught up in it, we must fight once; it's the same principle."
Jufeng nodded. He preferred this state of Ganwen—somewhat scholarly and refined, making him approachable.
Ganwen continued, "Let me update you on the current situation in the Magellan Star System. In every aspect, our New Wave Party is at a disadvantage; there's no denying that. However, we control the revitalizing force of this society: the students."
"We have a foundation among students in the Magellan Star System and even the Large Magellanic Cloud. Although our party is small in number, our members are passionate students. In today's society, there isn't much bloodshed or killing; thus, political parties enjoy a degree of freedom. This gives us ample space and strong public opinion."
"The New Wave Party has only been established for five years; its growth has been significant over just the past two years. Now we are capable enough to stand toe-to-toe with old forces."
"Militarily, we are very weak because the soldiers only listen to the government, and the current government is still in the hands of the old forces. This is why we urgently need your support."
"When our teacher was here, we had some backing. Now that the teacher is gone, many in the military who supported us have begun to waver. We need to establish a new benchmark to regain their trust."
"So, Jufeng, please do help us."
Ganwen stood at attention and saluted with a serious expression.
Jufeng smiled gently, returned the salute, and then pulled Ganwen down to sit. "Mutual benefit is key; it's not just about your benefit or my benefit, but about benefiting the people. No one wants to live in ignorance, and everyone has a passion within them. Therefore, what we are doing will surely succeed. Even if we are weak now, the prospects are promising."
Ganwen nodded and replied, "Your words are my words."
Just as he finished speaking, thunderous applause suddenly erupted from the screen; it turned out that the long-awaited Mecha Battle Drill had begun.
