Shadows of the Deep Space-Chapter 706 - 370: Thank You (5 in 1)_2

"Introduce the information about them to me."

"Alright, let’s start with those three guys. The one on the far left is called Zhou Mu, affiliated with the First Legion. His family is behind the Kamu Interstellar Group, mainly dealing in minerals, so even the big shots in the Military Department have to show them some respect. The one next to him is called Keku, affiliated with the Fourth Legion, and his family is part of the Guangwei Interstellar Transport Group, mainly engaged in interstellar shipping. The other one is called Harter, affiliated with the Seventh Legion, and his family is behind the Demukin Interstellar Biological Group, mainly dealing in pharmaceuticals."

Su Yuan patiently explained to Su Ming.

"Hmm, what about those five?"

Su Ming then turned to look at the other five quasi-generals.

"Those five don’t have much background, but the only ones to watch out for are the two sitting on the far right."

Su Yuan thought for a moment and said.

"What do you mean?"

Su Ming listened to Su Yuan’s words and looked over carefully.

Sitting in the front was a middle-aged man with dark skin, a very conspicuous scar on his face, and piercing eyes, as well as a man with slightly graying hair, muscular build, and deep-set eyes.

"The one on the left with the scar is called Elu, affiliated with the Third Legion, who just came down from the battlefield not long ago. This guy is ruthless; it’s said he killed a lot of high-level officers from the Dark Star Empire on the front lines. The other one is called Wu Fei, affiliated with the Fifth Legion, with a distinguished service record, but unfortunately no backing, so his reported military merits were cut down severely, and he’s only now rising to prominence."

Su Yuan explained to Su Ming.

"Got it."

Su Ming nodded slightly in response.

At this moment, Su Ming also heard Keku and Zhou Mu whispering.

"That guy named Su Ming, I don’t know him! But sitting next to someone like Su Ruannuan, I doubt he’s any good."

"Makes sense, half of that guy’s military merits were given by his sister Su Yao; he sure is lucky."

....

Su Ming looked at Su Yuan with a peculiar expression.

Su Yuan felt very uneasy under Su Ming’s gaze and instinctively touched his face and asked.

"Is there something dirty on my face?"

"No."

Su Ming shook his head and replied helplessly.

At this moment, a powerful sound of footsteps was heard as Admiral Taite walked in with a stern air.

Keku and others stood up one after another.

Su Ming and Su Yuan followed suit and stood up.

Everyone spoke in unison.

"General!"

"Sit down."

Admiral Taite waved his hand and then walked to the stage.

He first glanced at everyone to verify that all quasi-generals were present, then began to speak solemnly.

"Today marks the official start of your advanced courses, but before that, I want to remind you of one thing. All the content you will learn next is classified as Federation secrets, and under no circumstances should you disclose them externally. Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

Su Ming and the others responded seriously.

Taite nodded slightly, then addressed everyone.

"Today, I will explain the situation of the Three Forbidden Zones, the Federation’s strategic deployments, and information on some advanced weapons. During this process, if you have any questions, feel free to ask; I will answer them all for you! Of course, I hope you will listen attentively because, after your training, you will officially become a general. Your actions will not only decide many people’s life and death but also influence the future direction of the Federation!"

"Understood!"

Su Ming and others replied in unison.

"I won’t say much more, let’s talk about the Three Forbidden Zones: wormhole space-time, Mist Star Sea, and the Abyss of Descent! These three zones are extremely important to the Federation, as high-grade materials like Eternal Metal and Titanium Stone primarily come from these zones, and I don’t need to elaborate on the value of these materials, do I?"

Taite then snapped his fingers, and projections of the Three Forbidden Zones were instantly displayed. He raised his hand and pointed to the projection while explaining.

"The Federation’s biggest dilemma now is the extraction issue. There are simply too many monsters in the Three Forbidden Zones, and they are very formidable. Personnel responsible for extraction are frequently attacked, and the casualties are severe. Therefore, the Federation’s actual development within the Three Forbidden Zones is not significant."

"But no worries, if we can’t extract, then no one else should think about extracting. Because if the high-grade materials within the zones fall into other hands, they will undoubtedly be turned into weapons against us. Hence, the Federation Cosmic Army Headquarters has issued Forbidden Zone permits, and any ships or people appearing in the Three Forbidden Zones without a permit will be sunk without hesitation! Don’t talk to me about logic; that’s just how unreasonable and domineering we are!"

Admiral Taite said assertively to everyone.

Upon hearing Taite’s words, Su Ming and the others had expressions of surprise and intrigue.

They finally understood why both the Dark Star Empire and the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country wanted to assault the Federation; the issue lay here.

Taite and his group exerted heavy pressure here, leaving everyone breathless. As a result, opponents vented their anger back home, acting docile like grandchildren.

But it’s understandable; there are simply too many troops amassed here, and even against both the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country and the Dark Star Empire simultaneously, the position is advantageous.

Moreover, the troops stationed here constantly battle with the monsters in the Forbidden Zones, making every soldier highly capable in combat.

"Don’t be so shocked, we have strong fists, and that’s our confidence. The Federation has deployed Star Destroyers, Planet Fortresses, War Fortresses, and all kinds of space-based weapons, along with large fleets and Mech formations on every defensive line in the Three Forbidden Zones! The Cosmic Army Headquarters has accumulated numerous reserve forces behind the scenes; our troop numbers and combat strength can totally crush any faction. However, the thing to note is the monster tides of the Three Forbidden Zones. Most of the units we sacrifice each year are due to the impact of monster tides....."
