Yang Ming sat in front of the console, while a group of officers, soldiers, and technicians stood behind him, watching the news footage played on the projection screen in front.
Yin Landuoxing had just suffered a bomb attack.
Smoke billowed from Gate 1 of the transportation hub station in front of the palace, and the rescue scenes broadcast from the scene were very tragic, with scenes of people crying constantly being cut into them.
Many young officers and soldiers were filled with indignation, and many technicians and ladies had red eyes.
Yang Ming frowned tightly.
What is the new federation going to do?
What kind of freedom fighter is the CIA not attacking ministers and members of the royal family but directly attacking civilians?
A few hours later, Yang Ming suddenly discovered...
Compared with the New Federation, he is still too young after all.
The situation evolved very quickly.
After the first bomb attack occurred, various news media in the Luofeng Empire received "confirmed information" in the shortest possible time.
The well-known national criminal organization [Chabon Liberal Alliance] claimed responsibility for the attack.
There is even a paragraph of a notice that the policeman wearing a hood read out to all the people of Luofeng Empire. The general meaning of the notice is:
"If the old emperor does not announce his abdication within three hours, there will be a steady stream of attacks until the sacred fire engulfs the entire Yin Landuo City."
There will be more bomb attacks to follow!
Some citizens in the central city of Yin Landuo fell into panic. Many hovercars fled frantically towards the outer city, and the transportation systems everywhere were almost paralyzed.
In response, the Home Secretary held a press conference to strongly condemn the terrorist attack.
In Yin Landuo Star, the police have stopped taking vacation and are all on duty.
A large number of royal guards stationed in Yinlanduo City and conducted a rigorous search.
Gudunmaha received the emperor's order and symbolically sent a group of small airships to patrol the sky above Yinlanduo City.
The Luofeng royal family immediately showed their firm will to fight.
In response to the tough attitude of the Royal Family of the Luofeng Empire, the second attack and the third attack broke out one after another, and they did not wait for the three-hour period.
The heavily guarded landmark buildings in Yinlanduo Star did not encounter any attacks.
On the contrary, fireballs appeared one after another in ordinary residential areas, hospitals, and transportation pipelines.
The number of civilians killed and injured in the attack skyrocketed, and the entire Yin Landuo City panicked.
When the life safety of residents is under the most direct threat, social order shows signs of rapid collapse.
It was less than three hours after the first attack.
The Fourth Fleet's early warning system issued a warning at the same time, and the space detection radar detected that a large number of ships were jumping to their vicinity.
Chief of General Staff Gudun Maha immediately ordered the entire ship to enter combat readiness!
The fourth fleet group gathered in the upper left airspace of Yin Landuo Star, each ship opened its energy shield!
Hundreds of silver-white battleships suddenly appeared in the airspace ahead.
They have streamlined lines, maintaining strong firepower while also pursuing smooth and symmetrical aesthetics.
After the jump was completed, these silver-white warships immediately formed an attack array; but their main guns were not charged, and they also opened up their full-energy shields and slowly approached Yin Landuo Star.
Yang Ming looked intently through the porthole:
Those heavy battleships surrounded by frigates and shield ships were like swans with folded wings. Their lines were beautiful, but it made people feel numb.
The flag of the New Federation appeared under the starry sky, a three-dimensional projection tens of thousands of meters high.
New Federation, Seventh Voyage Fleet!
…
Emiger star cruiser, bridge.
"captain!"
A technician shouted quickly:
"A broadcast call from the opposing fleet appeared on the international public channel!"
"Plug in and listen to what they have to say."
Yang Ming's calm voice made the officers and technicians on the bridge feel
Much more stable.
Yang Ming warned: "No need to answer proactively, they are calling our flagship."
The technician pressed a few buttons.
Directly in front of the bridge, a female general of the New Federation Empire appeared on the huge projection screen.
The female general had long, half-white hair and stood quietly on the bridge of a warship.
Behind her are the flag of the New Federation, the military flag, and the portraits of the successive commanders of the Seventh Expeditionary Fleet.
As soon as the New Federation female general opened her mouth, the galactic lingua franca with a strong New Federation accent was poured into both the inside and outside of the bridge.
"Now, we, the New Federation Galaxy Voyage 7th Fleet, have been ordered to come to your country to support you in the fight against the terrorist attacks of Chabon liberalism.
"The Shabon Liberal Organization has been listed as a terrorist organization by our country since 17 galaxies ago. With its extreme, horrific and human rights-less actions, it has tarnished the sacred freedom and democracy. This is a criminal act that our country cannot tolerate!
"In line with the general principles of combating international terrorist organizations and the regulations of the Galaxy International Security Council, your country should not refuse our assistance and must submit all data on the cities under attack to us as soon as possible.
"We promise that after receiving your data, we will stabilize the local order as soon as possible, protect the local people, and provide humanitarian assistance to the disaster-stricken citizens of Luofeng Country."
stop!
The image on the screen disappears.
A group of officers and technicians who had never experienced such a thing looked at each other in confusion.
Yang Ming was also stunned.
He was a little shocked.
I was shocked by the shamelessness and lack of limits of the New Federation.
What's this?
You have a hacker here, so we are here to help you fight the hacker. According to the international laws we have established, you cannot refuse our military login and provide us with city data.
The issue is……
These *** are the new federal agents!
Good guy, Yang Ming calls him a good guy.
Yang Ming originally thought that his battle of wits and courage with Emperor Luofeng's clan had affected many innocent soldiers, which was already a relatively selfish act.
Compared with the operations of the New Federation...
He is simply a saint!
A female officer asked in a low voice: "Captain, are they really going to arrest ***?"
Yang Ming and a group of officers turned their heads at the same time, looking like fools.
An officer nearby quickly reminded: "The *** are themselves, and the Chapeng liberalism is funded by the new federal CIA!"
"Then aren't they calling for thief to catch thief?"
"This is shameless banditry!"
"Mad! This old *** is so shameless."
Some officers cursed in a low voice, and more officers couldn't help but speak out:
"Although we in Luofeng are not strong, we cannot be bullied by them like this. If their warships enter the airspace of our First Star, our country will no longer have any dignity at all!"
"If they enter the airspace and directly bomb the surface, it will be a real disaster."
"Yin Landuo has a population of hundreds of millions, and this is the heart of our country!"
"We can't let them pass!"
Yang Ming frowned and said, "Everyone is quiet."
His voice was not loud, but it quickly became audible everywhere on the bridge.
"Remember," Yang Ming whispered, "you are soldiers. Soldiers should not participate in political games. What we have to do now is wait for orders from the headquarters."
After saying that, Yang Ming said again: "Be prepared to retreat. You know better than me, a newcomer, what is going on with the top brass of Luofeng Military."
The officers were silent.
Some people were about to speak but were stopped by the eyes of their companions.
Many officers smiled bitterly, then tried to adjust their mentality and told people around them to go back to work.
In the Luofeng Empire, the longer you serve in the army, the weaker the flame in your heart will become.
They are originally a country without ***.
Sherman
A vassal state of the empire.
That's all.
…
A few minutes later, the Fourth Fleet headquarters sent a mobilization order.
The entire fourth fleet retreated, giving up half of the airspace of Yin Landuo Star to occupy a more favorable attack position.
Yang Ming could feel that inside and outside the bridge, the group of young men and women from the Feng Empire were simmering with anger.
He was currently sitting in front of the command podium on the bridge, calmly giving instructions for the star cruiser to slowly retreat along with the surrounding battleships.
For no reason, Yang Ming also felt a sense of depression.
"This has nothing to do with me," Yang Ming reminded himself to avoid making any impulsive moves.
Now he wanted to directly order Gudunmaha to fire and have a fierce fight.
But reason told him...
Really can't beat it.
The powerful Seventh Expeditionary Fleet of the New Federation moves forward.
These graceful spaceships with smooth lines appeared in the sky above Yinlanduo City. Citizens only need to use simple telescopes or the shooting function of Internet terminals to see the outlines of huge ships.
The powerful battleship did not charge its main guns, nor did its secondary guns lock onto the ground.
Three large ships that resemble comprehensive supply ships entered the first attack sequence.
Space carrier!
Dense hatches appeared on both sides of the mothership. The hatches opened, and hundreds of ground attack boats and troop carriers flew out of the ship, assembled below the fleet, and formed an array with the national emblem of the new federation.
On the first star of a country, promote the martial virtues of the new federation.
This is undoubtedly the greatest insult to the country.
In comparison, the Luofeng Empire's counterattack pales in comparison.
Three-dimensional projections of the old emperor appeared on the roofs of various palaces in the palace, but the content of the projection was obviously recorded before, and the old emperor in the projection was obviously much younger.
The old emperor shouted to the sky:
This is the first star of the Fallen Empire, a subsidiary state of the Sherman Empire. Any attack here will be regarded as a direct attack on the Sherman Empire.
The New Federation was indifferent to this, and the attack boat formation proactively began to press down and entered the atmosphere.
At the same time, the New Federation fleet demonstrated their strong technical capabilities and intelligence and information coordination capabilities.
The speeches of the female generals that Yang Ming and the others had seen appeared on all TV stations of Yin Landuo Star and major Internet portals.
The Internet terminals in the hands of residents continuously received promotional videos for the New Federation.
The theme of the video is to preach this kind of content:
"We are here to help the residents here. The new federation loves peace and freedom. We will fight against terrorism, rescue the oppressed people, and provide humanitarian aid."
Yang Ming didn't intend to care about this kind of thing.
This has obviously risen to the level of direct confrontation between the two major powers in the galaxy, and he can't control it.
But he just didn't like these bastards, so he decided... to let Lu do some small tricks.
A series of videos and pictures quickly appeared on the Internet.
The content is very simple. It is to clarify the relationship between the new federal CIA and the Chapeng liberal organization and provide some ironclad evidence of the funding relationship.
The way in which videos, pictures and text are spread is still a familiar formula - first spread virally through social software to diffuse the source of information, and then simultaneously capture the headlines of major online networks.
Although in front of the New Federation's Invincible Fleet, the people of Yin Landuo Star knew this and could not do anything.
But Yang Ming felt that at least they should know the truth.
On the other hand, the royal family...
Armored vehicles and attack airships appeared at the military base below the royal family. Tens of thousands of royal guards were mobilized and quickly deployed defenses outside the palace.
Governments at all levels in Yinlanduo City received orders to evacuate people;
However, the New Federation's fleet arrived too quickly, and the people had no choice but to take shelter nearby, and several underground cities became extremely congested.
Since Yin Landuo
After the terrorist attack on the city, only four hours later, a large number of New Federation warships completed the blockade of Yin Landuo City, and hundreds of attack ships launched a close confrontation with the royal escort.
Dozens of New Federation transport ships slowly landed on the terrain surrounding the palace, and a group of motorized infantry wearing exoskeletons and carrying flight packs quickly deployed defenses on the ground.
They surrounded the palace building from a distance.
The intention of the New Federation has been very obvious. This operation was led by a terrorist attack and directly targeted the Luofeng Empire Palace.
At this moment, the royal family shows no sign of activating the hidden anti-ship system.
…
The star cruiser Emiger.
Yang Ming couldn't stand the depressing atmosphere on the bridge, so he handed over the command to a few officers and returned to the captain's lounge.
"Law, report the movements of Luofeng's fleets."
Lu's projection immediately appeared on Yang Ming's wrist.
"They are all on standby, ignoring the royal family's emergency order."
"Where's Sherman?"
"Boss, Valkyrie is still struggling.
"Adwan urgently requested to see the powerful prince of the Sherman Empire and received his permission. The Sherman Empire fleet is being mobilized and is expected to appear in the airspace near Yinlanduo Star in an hour."
Yang Ming frowned and said, "Can the palace's protective shield last for an hour?"
"Yes, it should be possible," Lu said softly, "The New Federation has not launched a direct attack at the moment. They should also have concerns. If they directly attack the Luofeng Palace, the Sherman Empire's fleet may directly attack the New Federation fleet."
Yang Ming asked knowingly: "Will there be a war?"
"The two sides have faced off too many times in local wars. Both sides need a local victory to boost their morale and establish their positions."
Yang Ming frowned and thought.
He was really disappointed with the old emperor's performance.
From the beginning to now, Luofeng's only counterattack is public opinion counterattack, and he asked Lu to help him do it.
In front of the New Federation, the Luofeng Royal Family was like a bunch of trash. Apart from letting the guards defend themselves, there was no way to counterattack.
The eldest prince escaped to the second administrative star one step ahead of schedule.
If the royal family behaves more strongly, stands up to protect the people of the country at this moment, and awakens the soul of the country with the blood of the royal family, Luofeng may not be able to prosper again in the future...
"Forget it, I'm here to work on the planet in Luofeng, why bother worrying about all this."
"boss!"
Lu suddenly said: "There is a live broadcast on Luofeng's entire network. The source of the live broadcast comes from the palace. The new federal agents are competing with the technical team hidden inside the palace!"
Yang Ming perked up and said, "Give me the live broadcast."
Ritsu's figure disappeared, replaced by the scene outside the main hall of the palace.
The old emperor walked in full attire, wearing a crown on his head and holding a scepter in his hand. Followed by many ministers, he walked up the steps step by step and slowly reached the viewing platform at the highest point of the palace.
The guards looked solemn.
The old emperor's expression was calm but majestic.
Yang Ming narrowed his eyes slightly: "What does this old omnic want to do?"
"Uh," Lu whispered, "the palace's live broadcast signal has been blocked in a large area."
"Help him," Yang Ming whispered, "don't expose ourselves, spread his live broadcast as much as possible, don't limit it to Yin Landuo."
Lu smiled and said: "Okay boss... I used the name of Molly Miss Group to build more than 600 sets of high-performance servers in the Luofeng Empire, which just came in handy today."
"Uh, how much did it cost?"
"Well, didn't you say that if we don't occupy the high ground of public opinion, it will be occupied by the enemy?"
"Just tell me how much it cost."
"Only a few hundred million...new federal coins...most of them are rented."
Yang Ming:……
This prodigal secretary!
"Go to work," he choked angrily, and Lu quickly walked away.
.
Then, Yang Ming's expression continued to darken.
Although Lu intended to relieve the depressing atmosphere, Yang Ming was not in a good mood.
He seemed to hear the deep sigh of the planet below and the civilization attached to it.
It is clear.
This is this country's darkest moment.
"If I were faced with this situation, how should I break it?"
