The Commander's Useless Wife Is Actually a Hidden Boss!-Chapter 121 Urgent Courting

"The only ones of sufficient weight present are the commanders of the Eighth, Ninth, and Fifth Fleets, so it’ll definitely be one of the three of us," said Fu Xing.

Fu Xing could clearly see that among the commanders of the nine fleets of the Military Department, only the three of them had yet to take a clear stance.

"It appears my attitude has made some people uneasy," Fu Xing said with a light chuckle, stroking his chin and remaining calm and composed.

Even Joshua could not help but admire him; the infighting within the Royal Family had reached a fever pitch, yet Fu Xing was still as stable as Mount Tai.

"The Minister of Military Affairs has sided with Princess Theresa, while the Marshal supports the Second Prince. Their stances have become public, and the conflict is intensifying daily. The Minister and the Marshal, both isolated and underpowered, are desperately trying to win you over."

Everyone knew that Fu Xing, Commander of the Eighth Fleet, carried more weight than any other commander.

Joshua was no match, after all his father was still alive, and he was not yet Duke Romanrod.

But Fu Xing was different: his support meant not only having the backing of an entire Cosmic Fleet but also the Immolus Star System.

Every contender for the throne had begun to make their move, desperately wanting to win him over. Regardless of the means, success was all that mattered, and even if they couldn’t succeed, they couldn’t let their competitors benefit.

Now surrounded by a significant maelstrom of both military and political interest, Fu Xing appeared peaceful, handling military affairs on Capital Star.

One wrong move could lead to obliteration.

For Fu Xing, it was equally dangerous.

The outside world had already reached a consensus that Fu Xing had formed an alliance with Princess Theresa; a marriage between the two would create an unbreakable alliance. Yet, out of the blue, Major General Fu Xing announced his marriage.

But the bride was not Princess Theresa.

It was hard not to think twice about this development. freёnovelkiss.com

"What are you really thinking? If you don’t take a stand, the officers under your command and the nobles of different ranks in your fiefs cannot comfortably do so either. This situation can’t drag on forever. Even my old man sent me to gauge your intentions," said Joshua.

It seemed the outside world was truly anxious.

"The Second Prince hasn’t returned from his study tour abroad, has he? Let’s wait for him to come back! For such an important matter, how can the main character be absent?" retorted Fu Xing, deftly steering the conversation back.

The meeting began, and the topics of discussion were exactly as the two had said, well understood by everyone present. The Minister of Military Affairs himself stepped forward, expecting that this time they would surely force Major General Fu Xing to take a stance, but unexpectedly, Fu Xing still managed to find a loophole.

An oversight became the theme of today’s meeting.

The dispatch of fleets to garrison the Laniakea Battlefield with the Free Federation was agreed upon, but what no one expected was that Fu Xing would propose the Eighth Fleet be sent.

The Minister of Military Affairs couldn’t refuse this proposal, either.

Because Fu Xing had experience fighting the Free Federation!

The Laniakea Supercluster and the asteroid belt now incorporated into the territory of the Galaxy Empire were under Fu Xing’s complete command during the campaign, all the way from the territories of the Free Federation back home. This area is complex and special, of extreme significance.

Its ownership was a legacy issue, previously belonging to the Galaxy Empire.

Over five hundred years ago, the Free Federation had seized the area during a transition of imperial power in the Galaxy Empire.

Subsequent Imperial Soldiers had all yearned to retake it but never found the right opportunity or failed to seize it when it did appear.

But Fu Xing managed to do so. He had gained interstellar fame by waging war on the Laniakea Battlefield and was promoted to the youngest Major General based on his impeccable and distinguished military service.
