Fang Zheng had originally intended to lead the Earth Federation himself, but after personally experiencing that meeting, he had completely given up on it.
Those bureaucrats could do nothing but pass the buck. Relying on them would be less realistic than expecting pigs to climb trees.
Thus, after returning to the Federation, Fang Zheng discussed matters with the Son of Heaven for an entire morning, then produced a solution and announced it.

However, the Reapers had come too aggressively and stunned humanity with their assault. By the time humanity had recovered its senses, it had been struggling merely to survive, so no one had thought of this for a while.
