Ji Xinghe's invitation undoubtedly exacerbated the contradictions that people had temporarily chosen to ignore.
"This old bastard!"
How many angry voices there were, or who they came from, wasn't important. They knew that Ji Xinghe would certainly ignore their thoughts and opinions.
But no matter how tough Ji Xinghe's attitude was this time, even if it was more overbearing than before, it wouldn't do.
Li Zhengfan's return was a threat to Tu Yuan, and for others who were eligible to become the Federation's Commander-in-Chief, was it not also a threat?
In reality, this couldn't be considered an internal strife within the human world. Whoever became the Commander-in-Chief would still command battles. It was just that the approach and focus might differ, especially after the existence of the third civilization became known.
Essentially, this was about the choice of humanity's future direction—a careless move could lead to the extinction of mankind.
