The Rebel Army that had occupied Paris had taken control of the federal government, seized countless government personnel as hostages, and even held the city's innocent residents hostage. They had brazenly demanded that General Revil withdraw his forces at once. With the entire city being used as a threat, Revil could no longer handle this matter through conventional means.
Even so, it was unlikely that such a problem would truly stump Revil. It could only be said that it would be somewhat troublesome to deal with; he could not possibly retreat simply because of the rebel forces' threats.
Under Xiao Ran, Revil indeed followed Xiao Ran's way of doing things and was unwilling to see innocent casualties. But under the current circumstances, sacrifices were unavoidable if they wanted to retake Paris. They could only minimize the casualties and losses as much as possible, and that was something a Special Operations team could accomplish.
A group of units equipped with the Mirage System could, given the right opportunity, accomplish what even an entire fleet would struggle to do. Carrying out special strikes like this was simply too easy for them.
The reason they had temporarily remained still was that Paris was, after all, the federation's capital. The federation's leaders were all currently guests at Satellite Integration, so they had to show those people at least a measure of respect. More importantly, they had to wait for Xiao Ran's orders and the right moment.
Within Satellite Integration, this massive upheaval had left countless people maintaining calm expressions while inwardly trembling with fear. Not long after Xiao Ran and Shanamia entered the Presidential Palace, a string of people arrived seeking an audience with Xiao Ran.
After sending Shanamia, now his wife, back to her room to rest, Xiao Ran immediately entered the study.
