After Breaking Up, I Married the General-Chapter 156 - 155: In the federation 8

Chapter 156: Chapter 155: In the federation 8
Unfortunately, it happened very fast, so they couldn’t even react, and they were already in their manic state and couldn’t think clearly anymore.
After they finished their , Mela and the guides also began praising the stabilizers that Ryzel made.
They experienced how hard it was to clean up and stabilize the pollutants that suddenly entered the mental sea of their sentinels, so they knew that the stabilizers of Ryzel were even more effective than they thought.
The high stabilizers that Ryzel had just provided before he left instantly worked on the S and 2S-level sentinels.
It was also the same with the stabilizers that he made that worked on A-level sentinels and below.
The stabilizers that Ryzel made were proven to be more effective than they thought because they could actually even work on those pollutants that were five times more difficult to deal with.
And the guides also said that those pollutants that were calmed down by the stabilizers became no different than the other pollutants.
That’s why, even though some guides also cleaned up the pollutants in the minds of some of those sentinels that were affected before, they hadn’t discovered anything different.
That’s also why they were only discovering now that the pollutants that actually entered the mental sea of the sentinels because of the triggering of mass mania were tougher to deal with than the usual pollutants.
After Mervin heard what they said, he could only say that Ryzel was really amazing.
Unfortunately, even though they knew that Ryzel was really very good, they could only sigh again as he wasn’t with them.
After meeting the sentinels and guides, Mervin called the Marshal and the other higher-ups in the federation to let them know about the situation that they had just faced.
With two more mass mania triggered in an instant, all the higher-ups didn’t have a good expression.
They still didn’t even find the cause yet and only found a bit more information about it, but they’re not helpful in pinpointing the real cause of the mass mania triggering.
This time it was even worse because they discovered that another group of higher-level zergs appeared, different from the higher-level zergs that triggered the mass mania that Lewis had chased before.
So, it just means that they have to stay on guard against all the presence of high-level zergs on the battlefield because they might have what could trigger mass mania, and not just one group of high-level zergs.
So, they just confirmed that their situation had become worse, especially without the high-level stabilizers of Ryzel.
When they learned how effective his stabilizers were, it’s obvious that they all felt that it was really a great loss that they couldn’t make those high-level stabilizers without Ryzel.
And the progress of the research centers studying the high-level stabilizer that Ryzel made hadn’t made any progress yet.
So, they were urging each other to locate Ryzel and Lewis again, and they also wanted to urge the research centers for faster results even though they knew that the possibility of it being deciphered in a short time was very slim.
Without the high-level stabilizers, they would continue having more and more S-level casualties in the battlefield because they still had to send out S-level sentinels to fight high-level zergs even if they didn’t want to.
They still had to send some sentinels every time they had to fight. No matter how Mervin reduced their number to reduce casualties, additional casualties would still be inevitable if the mass mania triggering would continuously happen.
In the end, the higher-ups agreed to add more weapons to the ninth army as an addition to the weapons that were already coming.
This time, they also decided to send more weapons not just to the ninth army but to all the other armies that were in charge of different areas.
Of course, the areas responsible for guarding the edges where the zergs might attack would receive more weapons.
They were afraid that the mass mania triggering would also happen in other areas aside from the place where the ninth army was guarding.
No one disagreed with such an arrangement at all.
In fact, Mervin would prefer if the old guys involved in politics would have some disagreement just like before, where they would argue about the allocation of resources, the cost of supplies, and other things.
Before, Mervin, who was always in charge of logistics for the army, had to have a battle of words with those stubborn guys every time he asked for supplies, as the ninth army had always needed more than the other armies.
Now that they weren’t even arguing about it even though the cost of the weapons was many times higher than the cost of the supplies they requested before, it just means that they’re also afraid that the situation would continue to deteriorate, so they all agreed with the allocation of resources without any problems.
The old guys had always acted the same: if they were facing a large-scale war and he asked for supplies, they would agree and sign and send it easily.
But if the situation wasn’t dire, they would show off their skills, and Mervin had to have a long debate with them which Layton would always call a pointless battle.
Well, that’s why even though Mervin doesn’t like those old guys because they had made him suffer a lot especially when he was younger and wasn’t that good at handling them yet, he doesn’t really hate them, because at least they still knew their priorities well.
Mervin knew that a lot of them had pocketed big or small amounts of money from the federation, but they were still able to sit well in their positions because they were good at handling their jobs and wouldn’t really do things that would affect the federation in a very bad way even if they would scheme against each other a lot.
They were always looking at the big picture, so if there’s a big crisis that would affect the federation—like large-scale zerg wars and other rare situations like what they are facing now—they would be easily agreeable.
That’s why at times like this, Mervin would have actually preferred them to have debates like usual because it just means that the situation isn’t bad at all.
However, it’s really very clear that the situation would become more serious if they couldn’t solve it in a short time.
So, in the end, they all agreed that if the situation continues to worsen, then they’ll have to send suicide squads to kill the high-level zergs after they experience another mass mania triggering.
The suicide squads’ mission would be to determine the cause of the mass mania triggering and kill those high-level zergs, so that even if they might not find the cause, they’ll at least be able to kill the high-level zergs that might have been the cause.
Even though Mervin hates such an order that would really send soldiers to their deaths, he still accepted it.
Of course, they would only implement it if they really didn’t have a choice anymore.
They still had a lot of weapons that were coming, and the zergs that they were fighting now would probably be wiped out with the addition of the weapons that they would receive soon.
So, he doesn’t have to send suicide squads. But of course, he still had to prepare them in case something worse would really happen.
After their talks were done, all the politicians that were involved, including the president—left first and only the Marshal and the generals of the other armies were left.
They still had to discuss their guarding arrangement and other things that might come up because of the mass mania triggering, as well as the allocation of reinforcements and other related matters, so they didn’t leave and started discussing things after all the others left aside from those in charge of the army.
After their discussion, all the generals left, but Mervin and the Marshal still stayed a bit because Mervin wanted to ask for advice on how to better arrange the soldiers in the ninth army.
He had been handling the affairs of the ninth army with Lewis for years already, but the experience of the Marshal and the other old guys in the army were still many years more than their experience.
So even though he might know better about the situation in the army and was confident in his arrangement, he still wanted to ask for more advice this time to avoid any oversight in his arrangement that might cause more losses for the ninth army.
After talking with each other and learning some more insights from the Marshal, Mervin was already polishing his arrangement plans for the soldiers and their strategies to kill more zergs as quickly as they could.
When they were already done and he was about to say goodbye to the Marshal, Lyre came rushing in with excitement and tears in his eyes.
