66. Jiang Family Saved

If Jiang Mosheng couldn't make it this time, Jiang Zhentao’s position would definitely be handed over to someone. At first, he was prepared for that and had a candidate in mind, for whom he had paved the road.

Yet apparently, his opponents not only wanted him to give up his position, but also wanted the position to be handed over to one of them. Well, these men’s plan was going to fall through.

“Old Jiang, I know you're not in high spirits, but that shouldn't hold up our schedule. What you are experiencing must be tough. We must feel the same if it falls on any of us. But we, as soldiers, must be able to take the hit and be ready to sacrifice for the Federation and the people.” said Yu Hongrui, “highly principled”.

After hearing Yu Hongrui's words, the last one of the three marshals, Tang Qixu's sarcastic smirk couldn't have been more pronounced.

Compared to the friendship Jiang Family and Yu Family shared on the surface, which was in fact broken, Tang Family and Yu Family had been on rough terms from the beginning. Tang Qixu and Yu Hongrui often held conflicting opinions. Neither one was convinced of the other. But because both held similar power, neither could take any advantage, nor suffered much loss.

Tang Qixu and Jiang Zhentao were close friends. However, on the surface, the two seldom spoke in order to keep the balance at the military headquarter.

From the start, Tang Qixu wasn’t optimistic about Jiang Mosheng and Yu Jinsheng's engagement. Not only because he didn't want Jiang Family to form a matrimonial alliance with a despicable family like Yu Family, but he was also worried that Yu Family would find fault with him in the name of Jiang Family.

Tang Qixu and Jiang Zhentao were good friends back at school. After joining the military, the two often fought side by side and had become brothers who went through fire and hot water together.

Later, after the two were elected as marshals, in order to avoid arousing suspicion, they seldom got together on the surface but were close in private.

This time Jiang Family was in trouble, Tang Qixu would not stand by with folded arms.

If Jiang Zhendao was on his own, he might not be 100% sure to get his successor elected as marshal. But with the support of Tang Qixu, Jiang Zhendao’s plan would more likely work out.

Now that Jiang Meosheng was in recovery, Jiang Family would not fall, and Jiang Zhendao’s position as marshal would not be easily coveted by others.

“Well, recently, MB78 has been hit by star pirates which seriously disturbs the peace of the Federation. How about you take care of this mission, Marshal Yu?” said Tang Qixu quietly with a faint smile.

Star pirates around MB78 were known all over the Federation for their viciousness and cruelty. All those caught by them were tortured to death. They were most hated and had caused military headquarter most headaches.

Military headquarter had sent troops to handle them, but unfortunately, they were too cunning and unpredictable so military headquarter had never succeeded in eliminating them, which was one of its biggest failures.

Hearing Tang Qixu's words, Yu Hongrui’s teeth clenched because of hatred. Leaving to eliminate star pirates at this point, especially a bunch of notorious star pirates, was not only a huge loss, but also a difficult task. When he was back, the election would be long over and his attempt so far would be futile.

He knew Tang Qixu's vicious intentions. Sending him away at this point? No way!

“Those star pirates are notorious. We are absolutely going to eliminate them. However, with a coming election, I’m worried that somebody will create difficulties. How about taking care of them. After all, the security of our Federation depends on this election. What do you say, Marshal Jiang?” said Yu Hongrui smilingly.
