“Then there’s no problem with us using this program,” Finn Lewis asked.
Since it was a friendly contest, it naturally wouldn’t involve real combat.
Fortunately, current technology allowed drills to be conducted with almost perfect realism, ensuring the authenticity of war scenarios was beyond doubt.
“Of course, there’s no problem,” Alexander Rodgers affirmed with another decisive nod.
Roman Rodger also nodded, indicating he had no objections.
Only then did Finn Lewis turn his attention to Jasmine Davis.
...
Even though she had just connected and was unaware of what Finn was doing, Jasmine had one good quality: when she didn’t know something, she wouldn’t randomly express her opinions or speak out of turn.
Thus, even without knowing what had happened, Jasmine remained silent.
By this point, she had roughly understood the situation.
“Right, since that’s the case, when I say ‘casual,’ I mean it.
I won’t bully you.
Commander Jasmine won’t participate.
Instead, how about that colonel behind you?
Yes, the beautiful woman,” Finn pointed directly at the screen, indicating with his finger.
The person Finn was referring to was none other than Lucy Watson.
Lucy was indeed wearing a colonel’s uniform as part of Finn’s fleet.
In the Earth Alliance, she naturally couldn’t hold such a rank, and Lucy was part of a secret fleet that had now broken away and become independent.
This was also a covert military force, but other nations couldn’t possibly conceal any such forces because Finn wouldn’t assist them in doing so.
Thus, this force could be considered a secret weapon left behind for the Flame Nation.
At least it wouldn’t lead to mutiny or the like, and future selections would be strict, which was not something Finn had to worry about.
The middle-aged folks certainly had their ways of handling such matters, so Finn wasn’t concerned.
He was already very familiar with Lucy’s command skills.
Having seen her resume, her rise to the position of lieutenant colonel in Flame Nation—a country that valued seniority—especially as a woman, and at such a young age, was truly a testament to her substantial abilities.
It was no exaggeration to say that in this regard, Lucy was a genius, much like Tesla Mitchell was in physics.
She had risen through the ranks on the backs of many superiors she had outperformed, and after entering interstellar warfare, she even managed to seize command authority from Jasmine herself with her ability.
This alone spoke volumes of her capability.
Possessing such high intelligence, Lucy naturally understood what was happening, so when Finn spoke, especially during external communications, Lucy would not expose her position.
Upon hearing Finn’s words, Commander Roman’s face immediately turned red with anger.
In his view, Finn was outright insulting him.
“Commander Roman, I hope you aren’t feeling uncomfortable.
If you do, then go ahead and defeat all my people.
After that, I’ll have no issues taking orders from you,” Finn said coolly.
Sometimes, with these people, you need to show them your absolute power before you can earn their genuine support.
Therefore, Finn didn’t bother to show any goodwill. 𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
He had already discerned that Roman Rodger was different from Alexander and his group—Roman was a true soldier.
Though soldiers from the Federal forces might not quite match those from Earth, soldiers worldwide tend to be similar in temperament.
To win over such people, you must conquer them with strength.
Otherwise, whatever you say is pointless.
“Fine!” Roman’s expression was severe, but he didn’t refuse after Finn had put it that way.
“Luna Starfield, transmit the coordinates here.
Jasmine, have your team come over as quickly as possible; this should be the fastest route,” Finn ordered Jasmine directly via video link.
