Chapter 1593: Chapter 1593

"So, Lord, how should we respond to them?" Ke Jisi looked at Du You and asked.

This kind of diplomacy has always been dependent on others, so their attitude could never be too tough. But this time it’s different; this time their strength is not what it used to be.

The most crucial thing is, the two sides have almost torn each other apart. If their own strength was still inadequate, they could only swallow their pride. But now, with three tier 7 individuals sitting here, there’s no need to worry about those things.

Sure enough, Du You calmly said, "Just directly refuse and criticize them harshly. Also, spread their actions through our intelligence network, I want everyone to know their true colors."

Du You’s decision has already thrown away all pretense, and the two sides are bound to be in a hostile relationship after this.

However, Du You doesn’t care. Now the entire Star Ring Alliance is in crisis, yet the people at the top don’t seem to feel it, which just conveniently allows him to act. As for them, they don’t have what it takes to touch him.

Though they also have interstellar fortresses, the frontline military doesn’t have the right to mobilize them. To use an interstellar fortress, a report must be filed to the back, and only after the Star Ring Alliance upper class approves can it be mobilized. With the current bloated system of the Star Ring Alliance, by the time the report is approved, at least two months would have passed.

Ke Jisi didn’t hesitate either and immediately replied as Du You instructed.

The rear military, a group of high officials, were still embroiled in a heated debate over benefit distribution.

At this moment, a subordinate returned with a report. A senior official took the report, glanced at it, and slammed it hard on the table. The commotion in the room came to an abrupt halt.

"What are you doing? Do you know what kind of place this is?" An old veteran shouted loudly.

"General, I know what kind of place this is, but when everyone sees this they’ll surely feel the same as I do."

Saying that, he placed the report under a machine, and soon the contents appeared on the screens in front of everyone.

"Outrageous, just a mere minor lord daring to speak to us , does he really think he can ignore us after winning a war?" Everyone’s expressions were unpleasant.

There’s nothing to be done because what Du You said was true. If it were false, they would dismiss it, but the reality of it makes their mood completely different.

"What do we do, he rejected our proposal, how should we handle him?"

"What else can we do, he wants reinforcements, but there’s none, absolutely none."

As soon as someone shouted this, others looked at him strangely. Reinforcements? What are those? Since the war began, they haven’t provided Du You’s territory with any reinforcements, whether in terms of troops, materials, or even morale. The source of thɪs content is 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖑~𝖋𝖎𝖗𝖾~𝖓𝖊𝖙

How could they block Du You in this area, they didn’t even know. Du You’s territory was built too well, from basic food to army training to warship manufacturing; it’s a complete system.

Such a comprehensive territory is the hardest to attack because it has no weaknesses.

As for a direct attack, that’s even less feasible. Unless with an interstellar fortress, with Du You’s current military power, they’re simply not a match. Besides, they also don’t dare to use the fleet.

If Du You takes control, it’ll be a real joke. Especially now with the two countries at war, if they act against their own people over words, wouldn’t that ruin their reputation? Such matters, if leaked, certainly wouldn’t be anything to boast about.

Yet, what they didn’t expect was that Du You did something even more extreme than they imagined.

Just a few days later, some shady matters on the frontlines were openly exposed by Du You through special channels to the entire Star Ring Alliance. The Star Ring Alliance is vast, so perhaps most media won’t release such information, but some still will.

Du You’s people contacted these special media and released this intel. By the time the military noticed the problem, it was too late, and over half of the alliance members already knew the news.

With the frontlines in such a state, yet those always touted as military high-ups did such things.

As a free alliance, they would never tolerate such matters. The poor military only realized the issue when the citizens began to spontaneously organize protest marches.

There’s no way out; they were already overwhelmed by the war, and hardly anyone paid attention to internal affairs.

"Damn those idiots, doing such things is one thing, but why leave so many loopholes, are they seeking death? Now how can our military salvage its reputation?" Somebody above started to grow enraged.

"The most serious thing now isn’t that, but how we solve this issue. We had just praised their merits; then they caused such a scandal in no time. And that kid, he went too far."

"Hmph, if it were me, I’d do something even more excessive."

Everyone present fell silent; they were all upper-echelon, not fools. It was one thing not to pay attention before, but now that they saw these reports, they surely understood what those at the front wanted. Simply put, they wanted to divide up someone else’s benefits. How to divide? Of course, by getting the lord killed.

They couldn’t do it themselves, so the best method was to have the Blood-colored Empire do it.

Although it’s unknown if they’ve had any contact or joint efforts with the opposing side, the nature of this is already very serious. After all, if they failed at the front, it’d be a great blow to their interests, affecting them directly.

And as for Du You, being a lord, people already sought his life, so it wouldn’t be surprising if he did anything drastic.

The only miscalculation of those at the front was underestimating Du You’s intelligence network. He could transmit all this through them directly.

And he showed no mercy to anyone, bypassing military tribunals and directly making it public.

Now, Du You has offended not just the frontline military, but also the upper level of the military. Those upper class members who originally held Du You in high regard suddenly had a very poor impression of him.

In the eyes of other upper class members, Du You has also become a thorn. Such people, in any organization, would never be allowed to climb higher. Because the higher they climb, the more trouble they create later, and no one can endure that.
