Chang Weisi never dreamed that he would one day enter the Three-Body game.

He was just as shocked as 21 other representatives from the other three fleets.

They received a meeting invitation from Lin Xuan almost simultaneously, but the meeting was not held in the Dream World, but in the Three-Body game that ETO members had used before.

"Everyone, although I have never met you before, you should be familiar with me."

Lin Xuan stood on the high platform where Qin Shi Huang once stood, looking down at the 21 people below.

These representatives were all handpicked by him, and almost all of them were immortals from the three major fleets.

The Asian Fleet has 3 seats, the European Fleet has 12 governing nations, the North American Fleet has 5 major representatives, and an old friend.

The president who once served as a Wallfacer—Rediaz.

Because this was in the Three-Body Problem game, apart from Lin Xuan, the 21 people in the audience could not see each other's faces, and did not even know who was participating in the meeting.

"Lin Xuan, are you really ETO?"

Someone in the audience asked in confusion.

Lin Xuan glanced at it; the speaker was a representative from the European Fleet.

"So what if it is? Anyway, ETO has been completely wiped out. I've turned all those former ETO members into Earth warriors who are determined to resist the Trisolarans."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

That seems to make sense... Whether Lin Xuan is actually an ETO will probably remain a historical mystery for the future.

"Lin Xuan, what kind of trouble are you trying to cause this time?"

The speaker was another representative from the Asian Fleet, a man from an island nation.

"I don't like hearing that. What do you mean I'm causing trouble? Haven't you been going against PDC lately?"

No one dared to respond to this, since the three fleets were still nominally under the jurisdiction of the PDC. No matter how you responded, it would seem like you were making a political mistake.

This is a topic that cannot be touched.

Seeing that no one spoke, Lin Xuan said with amusement.

"What? Not a single official in the entire court dares to speak out?"

"Nobody's saying anything, huh? Then I'll say it. The PDC is practically shitting on your three fleets' necks, and you're still letting it get away with it?"

"If I were being bullied by PDC like this, I would have broken ties with them long ago. Why would I have to put up with it until now?"

"Especially in the last two years, look at the PDC's behavior. They've used the idea imprinting issue to suppress the Space Force and the immortals, haven't they?"

"All of you here are immortal beings, and you all have more than two hundred years left to live. Are you really going to live such a pathetic life?"

These words struck a chord with some of the people present. Although no one expressed their opinion yet, Lin Xuan could roughly guess what they were thinking from the constant shock she received.

"I have invited you all to this meeting in the Three-Body game with great sincerity, in order to ensure absolute confidentiality. None of you know who the other is or what the other is thinking. So please speak freely and say whatever you want to say."

While the Dream World is useful, after the experience of the last PDC meeting, these high-ranking military and political officials no longer dare to easily upload their consciousness into the database.

After all, doing so would be tantamount to revealing one's own thoughts as well.

Although Lin Xuan has repeatedly stated that it is extremely difficult to retrieve the memories and thoughts of one or two people from such a massive database, people are not convinced.

If this meeting had been held in the Dream World, these 21 people probably wouldn't have even come.

Finally, someone couldn't hold back any longer and spoke up in rebuttal.

"Lin Xuan, stop talking nonsense. Gabriel isn't aiming at your Reach Star, nor your Red Coast Base. If he were aiming that cannon at you every day, I'd like to see if you'd still be able to say that."

Lin Xuan glanced at it and realized that the speaker was actually the representative of the United States.

Lin Xuan used Zhi Zi to check this person's information. When Gabriel was built, this guy was one of the supporters, because at that time he was a staff officer in the strategic department of the United States.

This guy was originally supposed to be transferred to the PIA, but Thomas Wade refused, saying that the PIA didn't need a second hardliner besides him.

So this unfortunate kid ended up being assigned to the Space Force, serving as the Marine Corps Chief of Staff for the North American Fleet.

And the cannon he once advocated for building ultimately ended up dramatically aimed at himself.

"So, all you're afraid of is Gabriel?"

Everyone fell silent, but this silence was different from the previous ones; it conveyed a sense of affirmation.

Gabriel was specifically designed to deal with the three major fleets; it would be a lie to say he wasn't afraid.

Although PDC may not actually use it, having such a thing hanging around nearby makes one feel somewhat uneasy.

"If I told you I had a way to disable this cannon, would you still dare to challenge PDC?"

In an instant, Lin Xuan received more than twenty shock points.

Although Lin Xuan couldn't see the expressions on these people's faces through the game, she knew they must be very surprised.

"Lin Xuan".

It was Chang Weisi who spoke. He didn't say much, but he pointed at Lin Xuan at this moment, and the meaning was already very clear.

Lin Xuan's words have gone beyond what PDC can accept. If they get out, even if Lin Xuan is a Wallfacer, she will still be held accountable by PDC.

But Lin Xuan did not back down. He gave a wink to Radiaz in the crowd, who immediately understood and started acting as a PR troll.

“Lin Xuan, we are originally the PDC’s Space Force. It’s pointless for us to challenge the PDC,” said Rediaz.

"No point? Don't you want to break free from PDC's jurisdiction?"

"That's impossible. We still need PDC to supply us with supplies and materials."

"What's impossible about that? With the current level of human technology, Mars can be completely transformed into a second planet suitable for human habitation. In addition, the resource extraction from Phobos and Deimos would be more than enough to allow the three fleets to operate independently of Earth."

"Lin Xuan, your idea is too dangerous." This time, it wasn't Rediaz who spoke, but a representative of the European Fleet.

Lin Xuan smiled.

"What I'm saying is just a matter of time. The era of PDC is coming to an end, just like the era of the United Nations General Assembly."

"Since the start of the Crisis Era, the power held by the PDC has gradually surpassed that of various countries, leading to their increasingly inhumane approach to governance. Rather than continuing to follow such an organization, it would be better to break away from the PDC's Earth system and establish our own human political system."

"It's not the right time yet." This time it was another representative from the North American Fleet.

"Indeed, it's too early. Right now, our three fleets don't even have a single main combat ship of their own. The three fleets combined only have twenty small frigates, two transport ships and one research ship. The only cruiser, the Pioneer, will not be completed for another four months."

“That’s not a problem. All we want is for the PDC to acknowledge our independence, not to start a war with the entire planet,” Lin Xuan said.

“That’s too risky, especially since it’s fighting against our own country. I can’t accept it from either a moral or logical standpoint,” said another representative of the European fleet.

"So you mean, you've actually had the idea of ​​breaking away from PDC for a while, but nobody wanted to be the first to make the move, right?"

Everyone continued to remain silent.

Seeing this, Lin Xuan nodded slightly.

"In that case, I'll fire the first shot. But after that, does anyone dare to follow?"

"I dare!"

Rediaz then made the first move in a very cooperative manner.

The others present were all shocked, thinking to themselves, "Who is this hothead who actually dares to challenge PDC, this madwoman Lin Xuan?"

They now understood why ETO preferred to hold meetings in the Three-Body Problem game: apart from the person on stage who initiated the meeting, no one else knew your true identity.

Who knows which of the three fleets this guy comes from? If he really wants to work with Lin Xuan, and I'm in the same fleet as him, wouldn't I also suffer?

If successful, there will be retribution afterward; if it fails, the entire fleet will be wiped out.

The most crucial point is that nobody knows who will be the first to follow, or if it will be someone from their own side.

Even Chang Weisi, one of the three leaders of the Asian Fleet, began to feel uncertain.

Although there are only three of them, it's hard to say whether it's the other two, since this kind of thing looks like something an island nation representative would do.

The island nation's representative also believed that the person was Chang Weisi. After all, Lin Xuan and Chang Weisi had such a good relationship, so it was not impossible that Chang Weisi would be the first to stand up and support her.

A new chain of suspicion has thus been formed.

Ultimately, all 21 representatives expressed their opinions.

They probably never imagined that the first person to support them wouldn't be from their three major fleets, and they certainly didn't expect that Lin Xuan had been playing a double act from beginning to end, with the aim of dragging all three major fleets into the mess.
