clang!

Bayonets clashed, sparks flew.

By this time, Maiceline had reached her conclusion.

"It seems that the two sides have reached an understanding."

She said, "The demon horns broke through the repulsion barrier, and the stratospheric guards dealt with the opponent's blades."

"If the situation continues to escalate, the conflict could worsen."

"Pity."

Maiceline was very disappointed.

"I originally thought I'd see [Political Commissar Iron Rain] and [Long Live Charge]!"

Eleanor's heart skipped a beat.

“What is that?” he asked.

"【Political Commissar Tieyu】is a senior battlefield officer of Hongluo."

Maiceline explained, "They usually wear grey-green military coats and close-fitting magical armor."

"Wearing a red star military cap, with a red tactical lens covering his left eye."

"It will also carry a Magic Network Communication and Tactical Computing device on its back."

"Once Political Commissar Tie Yu appears on the battlefield, he will take over the soldiers of the entire battlefield."

"Generally speaking, as long as Political Commissar Tie Yu is present, the combat effectiveness of the Red Luo soldiers can be increased by at least three times."

"In addition, Political Commissar Tie Yu will also lead the charge."

"His combat strength is even greater than that of the Stratosphere Guardians."

Eleanor nodded, understanding the gist of it.

In other words, the "Iron Rain Political Commissar" is a hero unit that transcends elite units like the "Stratosphere Guardian."

“What about the [Long Live Charge]?” Elinor asked.

"That's Zhaoyang's legion-level assault tactics."

Maiceline said, "When the charge begins, the Zhaoyang soldiers will shout slogans."

The pronunciation is similar to "[Tian Nao Hei Ka, Ban Zai!]".

"Immediately afterwards, the fear and pain of the Zhaoyang soldiers will be completely suppressed."

"The magical equipment will also be completely unrestricted and operate under overload conditions."

"Once the Long March begins, there will be no new orders during the process."

"The entire army will only advance forward according to the initial objective."

"A fight to the death!"

"So that's how it is," Eleanor thought. "So it's a hundred million jade fragments!"

But for some reason, when Eleanor saw Maicelin solemnly shouting "Long live the Emperor!", he always felt a little uneasy.

The screenings continued.

No further high-intensity battles erupted between Hong Luo and Zhao Yang afterward.

soon.

A sharp whistle rang out from behind the Zhaoyang position.

On the Red Army side, a red signal flare was also raised.

Both sides ceased hostilities and began to retreat.

The screen started flickering.

The film ends here.

The conference room lights came on.

Eleanor was still thinking that the power displayed by the two sides in this conflict was somewhat unexpected.

But it wasn't to the point of shocking the Federation.

However, at this moment, Maiceline stood up and looked at everyone in the conference room.

"Colleagues."

She said, "As everyone just saw, Hong Luo and Zhao Yang have both started their own extreme individual soldier formation plans."

"And it was put into initial practice on the battlefield."

"On the other hand, our Federation has not taken any action."

"What extreme individual soldier? You can't even see a shadow of him."

"If things continue like this, we will be in a very passive position if war breaks out again someday!"

As Maiceline finished speaking.

The military personnel present also nodded in agreement.

Maiceline is right!

Absolutely right!

At this moment, a buzz of discussion broke out in the meeting room.

"Our federation seems to have been a little too lax in this regard."

"Always being one step behind others will eventually lead to a big loss."

"Forget about the army, why can't our navy get funding either?"

"Yeah... wait! What do you mean, 'the army is fine'?"

"I suggest we put the army through a difficult time and let our navy go first!"

What are you barking like a dog?

Eleanor sensed the change in the atmosphere.

Then, seeing Louise's amused expression, he suddenly understood.

Needless to say.

This battlefield observation was definitely arranged by the military.

The purpose isn't hard to guess; they still want military funding!

They had submitted countless proposals to Congress before, only to be rejected each time.

Since the Congressional route is blocked, the only option left is to try the presidential route. If they can get Rosef's approval and her endorsement, that would be a good chance.

Submitting the budget to Congress afterward will be much easier.

At this point, military officials had begun to probe Louise's thoughts.

"Ms. Louise, what do you think?"

"We do not seek to increase military spending or expand current equipment and organizational structures."

"But at least let's allocate a budget so we can start building the Federation's Extreme Individual Soldiers, shall we?"

"We already have Hongluo and Zhaoyang, we really can't fall behind!"

Louise did not rush to express her opinion.

Instead, she looked at Eleanor and asked, "Eleanor, what do you think of this suggestion?"

I?

After a moment's thought, Eleanor understood Louise's true attitude.

I certainly can't express my opinion directly here.

Louise's ambiguous stance is not because she opposes military expansion.

It's not because the federal government currently has any extra money available.

All the money was invested in the new policy.

The federal government has not even addressed the issue of relief for its citizens.

In addition, there is a deep-rooted isolationist ideology.

If military spending is increased, it will inevitably cause a public outcry.

The military expansion was inevitable, but it couldn't happen now, at least not in 1933.

Therefore, Eleanor gave the answer without hesitation.

"That's a great suggestion, of course we'll do it!"

As soon as the words were spoken, hope immediately rose on the faces of those military officials.

They knew that although Eleanor did not hold a specific position, his influence was not to be underestimated.

Now that he has made this statement, there is hope for what will happen next.

Louise raised an eyebrow.

She wondered if Eleanor had misunderstood her meaning.

How could they make such a promise?

"but!"

Suddenly, Eleanor changed the subject.

"However, it's not something that needs to be done right now."

"This matter is extremely important! We must handle it slowly and methodically, according to the specific circumstances!"
