Jez smiled as it seemed that Commander Tallion wanted to play some sort of Battle of quotes, she liked that Commander Talion's one flaw in his reasoning was he was wrong about wanting the President to think the idea of a reception was her idea, because as Sun Tzu said, try to manipulate the battlefield to your advantage, forcing the enemy into unfavorable positions. So it would stand to reason that the Federation or in this case Star Fleet should control the narrative, to control what the people of this world thought and saw of the Federation. One might call it taking the High Road, but either way.
“Commander Tallion you may be right but I think if you take into consideration what Sun Tzu said, about manipulating the battlefield to your advantage, forcing the enemy into an unfavorable position, then my idea makes perfect sense. Think about it , If there are unfriendly elements in the President's government and she is aware of them, she would act indigent to the idea of us asking her to a reception, I can hear her now, “The gall of these Federation rabble-rousers inviting me to a reception. I’ll go but they won’t convince me that their intentions are noble and beneficial to our world.” That way anyone in her cabinet that may be plotting against her would think that she has no intentions of cooperating and thus let their guard down. In all likelihood she wants a face to face meeting with us, but can’t openly ask, because in the eyes of her enemy she would appear weak, not to mention they may be monitoring her communication, she may be a prisoner. The enemies may need her in place long enough to bolster their forces and have a coup and once she serves her purpose, they kill her. Didn't Sun Tzu say, "All warfare is based on deception."
Jez then looked at Commander Velaul. Commander, I’m sure that you're aware that on Earth In the 1991there was a coup in the Soviet Union, the Soviet coup attempted by, Communist hardliners detained President Mikhail Gorbachev but intended to restore his authority under certain conditions, suggesting a delayed power shift rather than an immediate ousting.
