Speaker Ronan, who escaped with his life!
Chapter 1810 Speaker Ronan, who escaped with his life!
When news of the recapture of Prague reached Ronan Mathernas, the newly appointed Speaker of the Immigration Council, who had just settled in a safe area and was taking a few days of rest, he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
"This matter is finally over."
To appease the accompanying members of parliament, Ronan Mathernas hosted a dinner party to help the frightened members relax.
So, in a relaxed atmosphere, upon hearing the news that Prague had been recaptured by the Punishment Forces, everyone couldn't help but raise their glasses in celebration.
Seeing the increasingly relaxed faces of the lawmakers, a shadow of gloom rose in Ronan Mathernas's heart.
This is not a sign that things are over.
Rather, it is a sign that the chaos is intensifying.
In this incident, neither the Earth Federation Forces headquarters in Chabro nor the local garrison in Prague detected the dimensional quake. They were caught off guard by the BETA and dimensional beasts that suddenly emerged from the dimensional quake.
Although Lieutenant Colonel Novak did everything he could to protect the members of parliament and some citizens who fled to the capital's airport, it came at a considerable cost.
However, with the fruits of victory already reaped by the Punishment Force, these costs are rarely discussed openly.
Moreover, constantly pursuing these costs also brings up a very serious problem.
That is, if dimensional quakes continue to occur frequently in the future, who will defend against them?
Punishment troops?
It's important to know that there's only one Punishment Unit. Although its location hasn't been announced yet, Chabro has basically assumed that the First Tokyo Metropolitan Area is one of the Punishment Unit's permanent bases.
And its permanent base in space is von Braun.
This also means that if a disaster similar to a dimensional quake were to invade the universe, the Punishment Force would have no choice but to go to the universe to suppress it.
If a dimensional quake were to occur on Earth during this time, who would Chabro and the council be able to rely on?
Titans?
A secluded valley?
Or perhaps Calaba?
The struggle between the two has essentially reached a fever pitch and is unlikely to stop until a victor emerges.
So, what about Calaba?
Looking at the combat record of the Punishment Force since its establishment, Karaba has also been involved.
Moreover, Calaba's ace pilot, the legendary hero of the One Year War, Amuro Ray, is now serving in the Punishment Force.
Thinking about this, Ronan Matheras seemed to have figured out what General Gop of the Earth Federation, who was stationed in Chabro and had never moved, was thinking.
Expansion is a crime!
Let the scale of punishment be expanded again!
Gather more elites and let them fight for humanity and for the Earth under the leadership of Colonel Ming.
Instead of getting caught up in the infighting between Titans and the Valley.
Ronan Mathernas picked up his glass, took a slow sip, and let the rich wine soothe his throat while also clearing his mind a little.
Suddenly, Ronan Mathernas remembered someone.
A figure that appeared on the Odomra.
Artesia Deacon.
This legendary woman, now enjoying immense international fame and prestige, not only possesses the power of Deikun's will but also personally participated in the One Year War, ending it as a soldier of the Earth Federation Forces. After the war, she personally killed Dekin Zabi at Deikun's cemetery. Upon her return, this legendary woman swiftly reorganized the internal affairs of the Republic of Zeon before rejoining the Punishment Force, standing as a soldier on the front lines of humanity's fight against the dimensional quake.
With such a powerful presence right in front of him, Ronan Mathernas could not ignore it.
"It seems that this is an implication from Chabro's side, or perhaps from Colonel Ming."
Ronan Mathernas sighed inwardly.
The upcoming Earth Federation Council meeting is bound to be a bloodbath.
On the Odomra, Artesia is communicating with He Ming.
"My lord. It seems that Speaker Ronan has discovered our intentions, or perhaps Chabrol's."
"Yes, Speaker Ronan is quite capable. Although he carries the same burdens as the Bister family, I believe he will make the right choice at the upcoming meeting."
Like the Bister family, the Mathernas family also bore the immense pressure brought about by that original charter.
He Ming had reason to believe that Ronan Mathernas might already know about the incident at von Braun that led to the deaths of two important members of the Vist family.
Under such circumstances, the fact that they were able to remain inactive suggests that they were also observing the actions of the Bister family.
Thus, as a descendant of the Matheras family, who also bear the original charter, Speaker Ronan might actually have discovered something.
"Sir, do you believe that Speaker Ronan is secretly supporting us?"
"Yes, that's possible. If that's the case, then the Earth Federation Council can basically achieve unified action."
He Ming nodded and then smiled.
"Of course. That's only possible after the meeting is held."
If He Ming remembers correctly, during that meeting, the general who founded the Valley was assassinated, forcing Char Aznable to officially stand on the stage and continue to lead the Valley against the Titans as its leader.
True.
With the timeline now drastically changed and factors like He Ming involved, the general in the secluded valley is unlikely to be assassinated again.
If Jamitov Hyman of the Titans had a more sensitive nose, he might have been able to smell that the enemy blocking the Titans' path was no longer the Valley, but the impending rise of Punishment.
After the battle in Prague, those councilors should have clearly seen who the true protectors of the Earth Federation are, and who the elite force is capable of crossing half the globe to fly directly from the other side of the world to Prague and provide assistance in times of crisis.
"However, I have heard some members of parliament say that we should increase investment in the Titans."
"Aldesia said with concern."
"It's alright. That's just a temporary complaint! The Titans have been able to grow so powerful not only because of the internal strife within the Federation Army, but also because of the indulgence from within the Parliament."
He Ming didn't care about that, but instead came up with an idea.
"Artesia, would you like to take advantage of the Federal Parliament meeting to show your face?"
