Let them offer their loyalty

Even though Jonas once said that he would ask for her help when he needed it, there was no way Chelsea would really wait until Jonas asked before starting to prepare.
The industry under her control had already started operating when the war broke out. What she said about investing everything in the war was not just talk, but she didn't expect that she would gain the advantage before she did it. However, before the final conclusion was made, Chelsea could only slow down the spare parts industry and switch to other things.
"But didn't I say that if I needed help..."
"I want to help you the moment you ask, instead of asking you to wait and wait."
This silenced Jonas.
"No, why are you still sitting here? Can't you go out after you finish eating?"
Not for a moment overwhelmed by the straight ball, what came to the battlefield was Jonas’ ability to change the subject!
And Chelsi narrowed her eyes slightly, finding this scene quite amusing.
"Just sit down, don't say I'm sitting here. Even if Chelsea finishes eating, I will hold Miss Chelsea's hand and get in the car. I will go with her today! Don't have any ideas about her!"
Perhaps because Shigure Ryoko saw Chelsea here and felt that Jonas could not do anything to her, she became tough. When she saw Chelsea looking at her with a smile, she felt more confident.
You see, even Miss Chelsea doesn't speak up for Jonas, so there must be nothing wrong with me!
If there is a problem, why don’t you point it out for yourself? Is this Jonas’ problem?
"I have no objection, but Ryoko, remember what you said. No matter what happens later, you have to hold my hand."
"Of course! I keep my word, especially to Miss Chelsea! No matter what happens, I will not leave!"
To show that what she said counted, Shigure Ryoko took Chelsea's hand, her heart pounding.
"Let's go."
Jonas didn't say anything. When he saw that it was almost time, he got up and left. Chelsea followed him, holding Shigure Ryoko's hand.
"Is it the same place as last time?"
"Yeah, same thing. Just go straight up. It's the same place as last time."
Shigure Ryoko's pupils dilated.
Is it true...
No, we have to retreat quickly!
But why do I feel vaguely excited?
In front of the open door of the room, Chelsea let go of Shigure Ryoko's hand and walked in: "Ryoko, you can go back, I'll be here."
Before the door closed, Shigure Ryoko seemed to vaguely see Jonas's contemptuous look.
Bang, the door closed.
Only Shigure Ryoko fell into deep thought.
Are you really going back like this?
No, she was not convinced! She had clearly agreed with Miss Chelsea...
She gritted her teeth and knocked on the door after hesitation.
The door opened, and she was greeted by Jonas's puzzled look.
"I'm just going in to get something. Wait, Miss Chelsey!"
Chelsea pulled Shigure Ryoko in. Shigure Ryoko could have clearly broken free at that moment, but after hesitating for a moment, she was still pulled in.
Chelsi's voice with a hint of laughter came from the open door.
"I knew you would knock on the door..."
"That's not what I meant. I was afraid that Miss Chelsea would be murdered, so I came to see..."
"Hmm? So you've seen it? Now go back and rest?"
"...Now that I'm here, I want to see what kind of man Miss Chelsea has chosen..."
The door slowly closed, and no other sound could be heard from inside.
Chapter 550 Until She Met Jonas
The time after joy is always satisfying.
In the morning, the company dog is already wandering the streets, ready to take public transportation to work.
Jonas woke up with a yawn and felt a weight on his shoulder. He looked down and saw Shigure Ryoko hugging him tightly. Her long hair fell on her chest, her breathing was long and steady, and there was a sweet smile on her face as she smiled in her sleep.
In her dream, she seemed to have found the warmest and most comfortable pillow in the world. She buried her head completely in Jonas' shoulder, wrapped her arms around his arms, and pressed her whole body close to him, finding the most comfortable position.
Chelsea didn't know how long she had been awake. She heard the sound of water hitting the glass in the shower room, and it sounded like she was taking a shower. Jonas got up slightly, but he didn't expect that Shigure Ryoko hugged him even tighter.
"One or two, who did you learn this habit of using others as pillows from?"
"Hmm? Ryoko is just like that. She says no, but she just needs someone to push her. Even if she really wants to do something, she won't do it unless someone pushes her from behind."
Chelsea slowly dried her hair with a hair dryer and glanced at Shigure Ryoko who still had her eyes closed: "Hasn't she woken up yet? Usually I see she can react to the slightest movement."
"Maybe he's just pretending to sleep. You can't wake up a person pretending to sleep. Maybe he'll wake up as soon as I leave."
Jonas moved slightly, and Shigure Ryoko was easily shaken off, unlike the tight hug he had just had.
"Okay, so now Mr. Jonas, who possesses amazing wisdom and beat the Federation without any chance of fighting back, is leaving?"
"I've already said that relying on an insider and absolute force to push forward is not a wise move... There should be new news coming out from the company, and I should go back."
Jonas put on his clothes, and Chelsea lay down where Jonas had just been lying. She yawned and said, "I'll take a nap for a while, and wait for Ryoko to wake up. You can go do your thing first."
"Speaking of which, the Federation should also be making new moves."
.........................................
Federal, Dorothy's office.
Instead of facing the air with a poker face, Dorothy looked out the window, as she should have shown frustration or other emotions after the failure of the war against District 25.
The restless mood was not reflected in her, but was fully displayed in the Federation. Although the marches and boycotts had almost no impact on the upper-class families, they were always more annoying than ordinary scenery.
The weakness of the Misson family actually made the family's control over the Federation even stronger. When the war came, all families hoped that the Misson family would be seriously damaged, but when the Misson family really lost, they began to feel uneasy again. Of course, Dorothy could see those little moves.
Unconsciously, Dorothy's thoughts went back to the day when she got the legacy of the previous civilization. After knowing that she was chosen as a pioneer by the previous civilization, she felt uneasy, and then she was happy to be in control of her own destiny. With the idea of giving it a try, she used her own resources to make the simplest technology of the previous civilization.
At that time, she was afraid to let anyone know, so whether it was purchasing materials or forging, she did it bit by bit by herself. Not until she had completely built that little piece of technology and witnessed its power did Dorothy wake up from her dream and really felt that her destiny was in her own hands.
If you just squeeze it a little harder, it won't be like this now.
The technology tree of the previous civilization disrupted her already planned future, which she could foresee at a glance, and made it unclear again. But Dorothy could feel that although unclear, her future was not like the previous one, but was full of light.
Are accidents still rare in this era?
Even if you choose a future that you can see the end of but is not full of dangers, you might still be killed by the aftermath of an incident one day. Rather than dying like that, it is better to choose a future that is full of uncertainty but bright overall.
Hiding herself behind the scenes, she slowly developed through the technology tree of the previous civilization until the Federation had its own little shadow. Some people knew the name Dorothy, and her reputation slowly rose. Everything seemed to be developing in a good direction.
But until one day, after gaining a more comprehensive understanding of the legacy of the previous civilization, Dorothy discovered that the previous civilization technology tree, which she had originally regarded as a trump card, was using her as a pawn.
"If you want to continue using the technology tree and legacy of the previous civilization, you must obey the rigid orders left by the previous civilization and revive the previous civilization bit by bit."
Betraying the ethics that seemed like dust in the eyes of the previous civilization was not simple, but in order to avoid returning to the days when she had no say, Dorothy had no choice but to do it.
After that, when zero became one, and then one became two, things started to become easier. All permissions of the previous civilization's technology tree were open to her, and she was able to take over the previous civilization's legacy faster.
The name Dorothy became somewhat famous, and she was also moving closer to her future, present, character.
Then, she realized that there were more than one so-called pioneers, and she was not the only one favored by the goddess of luck. All the pioneers in the federation were slowly accumulating their strength and then becoming the only one.
As long as you become the only one, you will be orthodox, and the previous civilization will have no choice.
Whether before or after obtaining the legacy of the previous civilization, Dorothy felt that she must firmly grasp the initiative in her own hands.
When all kinds of chaos broke out in the Federation, the name Dorothy disappeared quietly, as if this person suddenly disappeared from the Federation, and no trace of her could be found.
Slowly developing strength in secret, collecting a list of names of possible pioneers, then crossing their names off the list one by one and receiving their legacy. After reaping the power of the pioneers in the first federation, Dorothy discovered that her name was on the list of pioneers. It was only because of her good luck and courage that she killed the pioneer in advance, otherwise she would be the one to suffer.
As long as you know the identity of the pioneer and the general route of his success, you probably won’t go wrong by following that route.
Gradually, all the pioneers in the federation disappeared, and he became the only one left.
Gradually, I achieved this position, but still hid behind the scenes.
Slowly, she made the Federation more prosperous than ever before.
Until now, when she met Jonas.
Chapter 551: I will now take over this body of civilization
After meeting Jonas, everything went wrong.
She originally thought that it was unexpected enough that she went from using the previous civilization to liberate all of humanity to being used by the previous civilization and becoming a pawn to revive the previous civilization. However, she did not expect that Jonas was even more unexpected than the previous civilization.
First, Noel, who was sent to investigate District 25, was plotted against by Jonas, then Zero, who was sent to rescue Noel, was also captured, and now District 25 has raided it. It only took a short period of time for the situation to go from having a small advantage to being one-sided.
This made her feel a little desperate.
It doesn't look like District 25 started producing war machines suddenly because of the Federation's plan. It is impossible to produce fourth-generation tactical mechas of that scale in a short period of time.
This just gave District 25 an excuse to start a war, and I directly became Jonas's sex puppet.
"At first I had a vague feeling that we might be attacked by District 25, but how could it happen so quickly? Almost in an instant, was it a problem with those families, or was it that Jonas had calculated everyone's situation?"
What went wrong?
"Dorothy."
A familiar voice sounded, and Dorothy turned her head sharply. She found that it was Noel who came in with a wheelchair, and she breathed a sigh of relief: "Noel, why are you here?"
"Come out for some fresh air once in a while. I kept calling you just now, but when you didn't respond, I just came in."
Noelle looked at Dorothy worriedly. She felt that Dorothy had a heavy burden on her shoulders, but now that things had come to this, no matter what she said, she could not reverse the situation.
"Yes, you are the only one who has the key to enter my office directly. What's wrong? Why did you come here suddenly?"
Dorothy sat back in her chair. She had been showing signs of being frightened for a while, so after she heaved a sigh of relief, she glanced at the palm of her hand without leaving a trace.
"District 25 came to ask what the Federation wants to do. Do they want to continue the stalemate or return to the old way of war?"
Noelle placed her hand on her belly, observing Dorothy's expression the whole time: "Although her tone is casual and she doesn't seem to care much, she is still trying to put pressure on me."
"I see."
Dorothy interrupted Noelle, rubbed her brows, lowered her head and whispered, "Let me think about it again, let me think about it again, Noelle, give me a little more time, okay?"
Admitting one's failure may be difficult for others, but it is very easy for Dorothy. For what has happened, she has always been accustomed to thinking about how to make up for it instead of regretting what she should have done at the time.
Don't give yourself any chance to blame yourself. What has happened cannot be changed, and don't worry about what has been decided. Instead of regretting what you should have done at that time, it is better to focus on summarizing the reasons and then draw nutrients from them to make the future that can be changed even better.
At least that's what Dorothy thought.
But she still needed some time. Reason told her that she should make peace with District 25 and give Jonas enough benefits. Win-win cooperation was the best solution now. If Jonas did not want to see the Federation fall into civil strife or fight to the death with District 25, he would not have replaced her.
Dorothy's mind quickly flashed through the possibilities of being in charge of District 25.
The downside is that she will have to give up many of her original plans and arrangements. District 25 will definitely thoroughly purge the federal top brass and regard her as a thorn in their side and will not truly trust her.
She might lose control of the Federation. Although she won't be at the mercy of others, she won't be able to act freely. It is estimated that the 25th District will set up institutions that the Federation had previously set up in various places to inspect the operation of power in various places. It is estimated that everything the Missen family wants to do will be investigated.
Of course, everything has two sides.
Precisely because the two sides were originally hostile, District 25 did not understand the operation of the Federation. If it kept a low profile, it might be able to rise again under the new system.
Of course, the probability of this happening is very small, and Jonas has promised that he will not allow himself to have such an opportunity. If he wins, even if Jonas is not killed, he will imprison himself for life.
He holds the legacy of the previous civilization, which is his life-saving trump card. More importantly, District 25 still needs to rely on the resources of the Federation and will not completely destroy the Federation.
If she adapts to the situation, reaches a new cooperative relationship with District 25, and obeys Jonas with ulterior motives, it will be beneficial to both parties in the long run. She can even take the opportunity to persuade Jonas to jointly fight against the control of the previous civilization and strive for the true liberation of mankind, but she has to give the dominant power to her.
After weighing the pros and cons, Dorothy realized that accepting the rule of District 25 might be the best option for the current situation. What was important was to preserve strength, not superficial dignity.
As long as she is patient enough, the opportunity will come sooner or later. She has not completely lost the initiative, but has embarked on a new and tortuous path.
Of course, this is only based on the best case scenario.
Dignity or survival, Dorothy never hesitated on this matter.
