Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 1187: Chapter 642_3

After saying this, he looked at his secretary: “There is no reason for the Southern Commander to decide the overall strategy for the Western and Northern Lines, nor is there a reason for us sitting on Holy Terra to directly interfere with frontline command decisions; this is a major taboo.”

“What’s more… advancing early and solving the Princess’s issue early is also very important. Now if I go to persuade the two of them, what will the Prime Minister and other High Lords think if they find out? Even the Prime Minister hasn’t directly intervened in military command, should I be the one to do it?”

“The Prime Minister has strongly supported the reconstruction of the Western Line main force, and he expects Sallius Warlord to lead the Sun Legion’s loyalists to achieve the most important honors and achievements. If Leroux takes it away, it will again boost the reputation of the traditional Interstellar Warriors, and the Prime Minister will not be pleased.”

Upon hearing this, his secretary suddenly understood.

If this aspect is considered, it is indeed inappropriate to persuade.

Moreover, he could also think deeply and understand another matter.

The Western Line represents the Prime Minister, the Northern Line represents the prestige of the traditional Interstellar Warriors within the Empire. This is determined by the way the two line main forces are organized and the composition of the troops. So what does the Southern Line represent? Of course, Gu Hang of the Southern Line represents Prime Minister Jia Lerd.

Precisely for this reason, the secretary was previously worried on behalf of Jia Lerd.

Both lines are about to advance into the heartland of the Ironclad, while the Southern Line is still dawdling under Commander Gu’s command. After the victory, wouldn’t all the credit go to others?

Since Mr. Gu is unwilling to advance, he should find a way to hold back the Western and Northern Lines, letting them also ’proceed steadily,’ which would be preferable.

But upon deeper reflection, it seems not to be this way.

Gu Hang of the Southern Line indeed represents Jia Lerd, but does the Western Line only represent His Excellency the Prime Minister?

No.

The catalyst for the reconstruction of the Western Line main force was exactly Jia Lerd’s defeat of former Minister of Justice, Ou Juren. This was accomplished with the support of Prime Minister Qi Bodu, and after Ou Juren’s downfall, Jia Lerd smoothly secured a High Lord seat. During the process of organizing the Western Line main force, with the Military Affairs Department being particularly close in proximity, considerable efforts were expended.

From this perspective, the success of the Western Line also signifies Jia Lerd’s success.

If so, then why persuade?

Clearly, this is the best scenario!

If Leroux’s leadership in the Northern battlefield to quell the Princess’s rebellion is considered the most significant achievement, not only the Prime Minister will be unhappy, but Jia Lerd will also be displeased. In the absence of reliance on Gu Hang, it is reasonable to pin hopes on the indeed more powerful Salius.

And if the situation changes, and the situation in the Princess Star Domain is indeed, as Gu Hang predicted, a trap with a significant threat at the back, ultimately leading to a worsening situation, Jia Lerd can also accept: I’m the one who replaced Gu Hang and issued a warning to the two commanders; it’s all your fault for not listening!

Moreover, at that time, the Southern Line will be the only one left, and it just so happens to be my brother, Jia Lerd!

Even if the worst-case scenario, which is least desired, occurs, whereby Leroux secures the highest honor, so what?

The Western Line picking up the mess left by Phoenix will inevitably have credit, which involves Jia Lerd.

The Southern Line eliminating the Alfonso Sect is a real achievement already secured, and it is undoubtedly the second greatest achievement of the entire rebellion suppression campaign.

In simple terms, Jia Lerd is the most stable person in any situation; he won’t lose out no matter what.

In such a situation, what is there to worry about?

Understanding these matters, the secretary also felt much more at ease.

He relaxed his brow, smiling as he followed behind Jia Lerd, who had already stepped out of the room, and moved to the balcony, then stepped out. There was already a hovering vehicle waiting on the tarmac.

Once on the hovering vehicle, in just a moment, they arrived at a banquet hall.

Following behind Jia Lerd, the secretary watched the Prime Minister of the Military Affairs Department engage in friendly conversations with various high-ranking officials on Holy Terra. He heard him speak of Gu Hang from time to time, praising his victory in Alfonso, commending his far-sightedness and steady approach, and his ability to stabilize a frontline.

When discussing Marshal Leroux’s attacks on Gu Hang, Jia Lerd would cleverly defend Gu Hang from multiple aspects while also praising Salius. By then, it’s uncertain who will take down Reiaductus; Leroux might indeed—just as Gu Hang warned—suffer a great loss.

The more he heard, the more the secretary felt a sense of admiration for his Prime Minister.
