Chapter 559: Chapter 415: Heavy Punch_1 Chapter 559: Chapter 415: Heavy Punch_1 To the Pacifist Group of the Star Union, everything that followed was nightmare in reality.
They had meticulously planned, uniting with alien forces, to try to eliminate Li Longcheng, their biggest stumbling block. Surprisingly to them, not only did Li Longcheng survive, he also captured several Batarei people!
Public opinion promptly exploded. News cross the Star Union that extraterrestrial forces had attempted to assassinate the next presidential candidate of the Star Union quickly spread. Many experts analyzed this, some even reported that the aliens attempted to assassinate Li Longcheng because they feared he would act against them if he took power.
The Pacifist Group may also have a hand in this!
In any case, when this news came out, there was a lot of talk among the public. Li Longcheng came forward to address the public, declaring that regardless of how the alien forces acted, he would never succumb to their threats. Even death could not make him surrender!
Previously in the Star Union, the support ratio between the War Advocate Group and the Pacifist Group was about 60:40, but after the news of Li Longcheng’s assassination attempt by the Batarei people was reported, the supporters of the War Advocate Group suddenly rose to over 80%. It was not only in Asia Union, Li Longcheng’s main stronghold, even in NATO, many people supported Li Longcheng’s actions.
After all, alien forces sending people to assassinate their presidential candidate, this was something basically everyone could not tolerate. And thinking inversely, since Li Longcheng was so formidable that alien forces needed to send assassins after him, it proved that if he were president of the Star Union, he certainly would not sell out humanity’s interests for the aliens!
After all, what could be more useful than the acknowledgement of the enemy?
Thus, in the subsequent election, Li Longcheng was logically elected as the first president of the Star Union. After taking office, he declared that he would not accept mediation from the Divine Assembly, and he also demanded that the Divine Assembly must hand over the real culprit behind the assassination! Otherwise, humans would absolutely not spare them!
Regarding Li Longcheng’s demands, The Divine Assembly suffered a lot. They indeed had tolerated the assassination attempt on Li Longcheng, but even the Divine Assembly knew that such things must not come to light. Their only fortunate situation was that they left no evidence, so… The Divine Assembly simply stated that they would investigate and then promptly passed the buck to the Batarei people.
The Batarei people were even more stiff-necked than the Divine Assembly, stating that there was no assassination at all. They alleged that these despicable and shameless humans kidnapped their compatriots! Hence, the Batarei people dispatched a fleet to pressurize, demanding the Star Union to unconditionally return the kidnapped Batarei citizens; otherwise, they would declare war on humans!
Li Longcheng naturally wouldn’t listen to the Batarei people’s nonsense. In fact, when he got the news from Batarei people, Li Longcheng breathed a sigh of relief.
At last, the prelude to this drama was fully prepared.
Next, it was time for the leading role to come on stage.
For Admiral Kislyov of the Star Alliance Navy, today was not a good day.
The reason was simple, as he had the new President of Star Union, Li Longcheng, and the high-ranking officers of the Chief Assembly on his warship. This made Admiral Kislyov very nervous. In fact, if anyone attacked this warship now, the entire upper-level leadership of the Star Union would be wiped out in one blow.
This situation made Kislyov very unhappy. The Star Union had many warships, why should his be chosen?
Was his luck that bad?
Just then, Li Longcheng’s voice came from behind Kislyov.
“How is it, captain? Have we reached our destination?”
“Indeed, Mr. President.”
Kislyov quickly turned around, saluting Li Longcheng.
“But I still don’t understand, why are we here?”
“You seem to be nervous?”
“Of course, Sir, after all, the entire top layer of the Star Union is here, if anything happens…… I think at least a fleet should be mobilized instead of just a single warship.”
“No need to be so nervous, my old friend.”
Seeing Kislyov’s appearance, Li Longcheng, smiling, patted him on the shoulder.
“We are in the safest place right now. No alien fleet would dare to trouble us.”
“Certainly, Sir, but…… what exactly are we here for?”
Kislyov was clueless. Li Longcheng, however, just shrugged.
“You’ll know soon…… oh, it’s almost time.”
Just as Kislyov was startled, suddenly, an urgent alarm sounded in his ear. He turned his head to look ahead, and saw an unthinkable scene – right in front of his warship, the darkness of the universe suddenly seemed to split open like a mouth, a wave-like fluctuation appearing. Immediately after, a huge, resplendent warship appeared out of nowhere!
Looking at the gigantic warship before his eyes, Kislyov paled, his hands gripping tightly, sweating coldly. Whatever else is mentioned aside, the size of this warship was far beyond his expectation.
You must know, Kislyov’s warship was the Kilimanjaro Class Dreadnought, the flagship of the Star Union First Fleet. This warship was a full 1,000 meters long, making it one of the largest warships in the Star Alliance. The warship now, however, was several times larger than his, comparable to the difference between a cat and an elephant!
