Watching Lieutenant General Susan on the screen, Major General Taip was constantly pondering her intentions.

The Quantum Tunnel Transport Gate could instantaneously teleport an army to any place in the universe. As a commander, Major General Taip immediately realized the strategic significance of this weapon, surpassing that of stellar-level weapons. Stellar-level weapons have immense power, but they require a long preparation time, and their energy fluctuations during the preparation period can be detected in advance. Moreover, the speed of stellar-level weapons in normal space will not exceed the speed of light, which means stellar-level weapons can only target stars with fixed orbits and cannot be used to annihilate enemy fleets.

Armies in anti-matter space can fly a distance of over a hundred light-years in about a month. If they need to fly to a place more than two thousand light years away, they need to fly in anti-matter space for sixteen or seventeen Earth months. However, using the Quantum Tunnel Transport Gate only requires an instant. This immediately made Major General Taip think of several plans to ambush the Orion humans using the time difference.

Such a groundbreaking technology surprisingly wasn't developed by the Galactic Alliance's Science Research Institute, but belongs to the wealthiest Roman family. The Roman family didn't disclose this technology to the public but instead provided three deployable Quantum Tunnel Transport Gates to President Taylor. The implication behind this, made even the politically insensitive Major General Taip feel that President Taylor and the Roman family must have reached some political agreement.

Why would Lieutenant General Susan disclose such important information to me? Major General Taip kept thinking. That's not right, Lieutenant General Susan isn't saying these things to me, but to Major General Richard of the Southern Fleet. She's representing President Taylor to extend an olive branch to the Southern Fleet. If the Southern Fleet can form a political alliance with President Taylor, then President Taylor would be willing to lend the Quantum Tunnel Transport Gates to the Southern Fleet. As for the word 'lend', in essence, it's giving the Quantum Tunnel Transport Gates to the Southern Fleet, as the Southern Fleet has never returned any borrowed weapons.

Would Major General Richard agree to President Taylor's conditions? As a traditional general of the Southern Fleet, Major General Richard's father and Homies all died in the Zeta Battle. If President Taylor supports attacking the Orion humans, Major General Richard would undoubtedly stand with President Taylor, and the Quantum Tunnel Transport Gates would become the bridge to establish a political alliance between the two.

As Major General Taip pondered this, he felt that the meaning expressed by Lieutenant General Susan was more than just these. Why did Lieutenant General Susan let me borrow two sets of Quantum Tunnel Transport Gates? Is it because...

Is it because she believes that I will make use of the Quantum Tunnel Transport Gates?

I understand now. She believes that the White Goose aliens are still in the anti-matter space, and I would need to deploy the Quantum Tunnel Transport Gates to keep up with the White Goose aliens. This is her answer to my question.

And the protagonist, I understand. Lieutenant General Susan has been talking about history, about the protagonist, making people think that the protagonist she's talking about is the White Goose alien. But in fact, the protagonist she's expressing is President Taylor. What Lieutenant General Susan wants to tell me is that we, the Southern Fleet, need to choose the real protagonist to get what we want in the era of change.

Major General Taip, looking at the leisurely Lieutenant General Susan, felt it was a bit of a pity for her to be in a military uniform. Soldiers should be more pure, not cunning like politicians.

Major General Taip was not sure if the content he understood was all that Lieutenant General Susan meant. He could only try to confirm one by one. He was most concerned about the whereabouts of the White Goose aliens. So Major General Taip asked, "Does Lieutenant General Susan believe that the White Goose aliens are still in the anti-matter space?"

Lieutenant General Susan smiled, but what she said was, "I am only responsible for assisting the Star Hunt operation. Major General Taip is the commander of the Star Hunt operation and needs to make his own decisions."

Major General Taip understood. What Lieutenant General Susan meant was that she only put forward a view. If the operation failed, Major General Taip must be the scapegoat.

Major General Taip tried to ask again, "Where does Lieutenant General Susan suggest placing the two sets of Quantum Tunnel Transport Gates?"

Major General Taip thought that Lieutenant General Susan would not answer, but he heard Lieutenant General Susan say, "I have a piece of information here. Vasily Krasnov, the most significant power in Freedom City, has already connected with the enemies on the Zeta star system."

Hearing the news about the enemies on the Zeta star system, Major General Taip's eyes narrowed, and a tangible killing intent emanated from his body. Since it was related to the Orion humans, a Quantum Tunnel Transport Gate must be placed near Freedom City.

Major General Taip asked again, "What about the other one?"

This time, Lieutenant General Susan just picked up her water glass and took a sip of water, without answering Major General Taip's question. Major General Taip knew he needed to decide where to place the other one.

After thinking for a while, Major General Taip said to Lieutenant General Susan, "I will report all of today's conversations to Major General Richard."

Lieutenant General Susan nodded with a smile and said, "Good."

She added another sentence at the end, "I believe that Major General Richard will make the right choice."

Major General Taip gave Lieutenant General Susan a deep look, did not reply, and his figure gradually disappeared from the screen.
