Yang Ming smiled and said, "You flatter me."
He gathered his thoughts and said warmly:
"Although there are traces of our intervention in this matter, many times it was just going along with the flow.
"Ultimately, it's the Empire's eagerness to launch external wars to divert internal tensions that can't be suppressed and restore normal production across the Empire, while the New Federation has always been plotting to overthrow the Empire; that's the core of the issue.
"As for this mission conflict, first of all, I must apologize to all of you for causing trouble in your territory."
He acknowledged it.
The officials of the Guel Alliance didn't need to exchange looks; they already had a tacit understanding.
The benevolent-looking elderly lady smiled and said, "General Yang Ming, may I ask, what are your plans next? Can you share them with us?"
Yang Ming asked, "Are you asking this as our ally?"
