A video that was proven to be definitely not a forgery was pushed to the eyes of the people of the empire in a very short period of time.
This banquet record, which is comparable to a horror movie, quickly set off a huge tsunami in the empire's network, which was already agitated by the voice of the white ghost.
No one can describe how shocking it was to witness eight emperors of vassal states transforming into metal-skeleton robots within ten seconds.
Later generations of humans in the galaxy can only judge the huge impact this unprecedented explosive news had on the imperial system based on the subsequent impact of the banquet incident!
After the accident, the banquet immediately fell into chaos.
Foreign Affairs Bureau officials desperately tried to cover the skeletons of eight mechanical emperors;
The Emperor of the Luofeng Empire and the Chairman of the Luofeng Alliance Council, Edwang, was still shouting normally while his body was melting, and then he was pushed to the ground by the Foreign Affairs Bureau official who rushed to the side.
Eight gleaming metal skeletons, panicked nobles, anxious-looking senior officials of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, bewildered Princess Lorna and several princes formed a visually striking news composition.
The butcher knife raised by the empire was deflected by a sudden change.
Half a galaxy later, the network within the empire was slaughtered by related entries.
The empire made a prompt decision and physically cut off the network connection of the Imperial Star Circle, causing incalculable economic losses.
The empire's response was not slow.
After the banquet incident, they originally wanted to use the 'Third Natural Disaster' to guide public opinion, but a series of evidences appeared on the empire's network.
The Foreign Affairs Bureau's "Emperor Replacement Plan" document was originally leaked, and the leaker was the New Federal CIA.
——Although the CIA did not know about this.
A former official from the Empire's Foreign Affairs Bureau was found to have confessed in front of the camera in the Guel Alliance. He explained in detail how the Empire used advanced simulation robots to carry out the "Emperor Replacement Plan" to ensure that satellite countries that tended to break away from the Empire's control were always under control.
Under the high-pressure control of the empire.
The White Ghost Fans Support Association officially released the third statement, this time the statement is extremely concise:
【Unacceptable! Incomprehensible! Intolerable!】
The various vassal states of the empire, which had only held relatively restrained demonstrations before, have now completely exploded.
People frantically stormed government offices everywhere;
The armies of the client states began to mutiny one after another;
Continuously established fleets announced that they would no longer accept any orders from the 'omnic puppets'.
The Sherman Empire itself was also extremely uncomfortable.
Although the operation of the military system has not stalled;
But when the soldiers looked at the information that always appeared in front of them, many began to question their beliefs.
Previously, organizations such as the New Federal CIA and the Secret Service of the United States of America could only watch helplessly as the empire sucked blood from its affiliated countries, and it was difficult to use public opinion and external pressure to influence this process;
But at this moment, the Empire directly exposed its most vulnerable ribs, and almost half of the political systems in the galaxy stepped on the Empire's ribs to one degree or another.
A crisis of confidence quickly swept through the empire.
The great riot across the territory that the empire spent so much effort to suppress broke out again in a short period of time and became more serious.
…
"The plan is progressing smoothly."
Lu looked at Emilia, whose eyes were slightly red, and quickly reported to Yang Ming:
“The people of the Sherman Empire showed great anger towards the Emperor Replacement Plan, and the anger index far exceeded our previous estimates.
"Preliminary analysis shows that the reason why people in the Sherman Empire have such a high anger value is probably related to the empire's previous comprehensive suppression of public demonstrations. Now violent demonstrations and armed riots have occurred again across the empire, and people have once again attacked aristocratic estates and imperial local governments.
.
"It is expected that within the next six galactic hours, these violent demonstrations will reach their peak, and their destructive power will be twice that of the previous imperial riots."
Law changed the subject:
"Although the inter-star network in the Imperial Star Circle has been physically cut off, we have reserved enough servers on each planet. The intra-star network is still operating normally, and we can still guide the people at all times.
"Currently, riots have also broken out on Elendor, but the people are relatively restrained.
"A large number of people have begun to come to the palace by various means of transportation.
"Our army is also experiencing internal turmoil, but because of preparations made in advance, the officers are able to maintain restraint at this moment.
“The next things to note are:
"One, White Ghost's live broadcast can start at any time, we need to choose the right time.
"Second, Your Highness Emilia needs to deliver a speech to the entire Fallen Wind Alliance in about one galaxy hour. I hope Your Highness can adjust her mentality as soon as possible."
"Well, I'm fine."
Emilia's voice was a little hoarse:
"I've been waiting for this day for a long time... Although I can't directly avenge my brother, Luofeng can take this opportunity to achieve independence, then we..."
Yang Ming suddenly said: "Don't worry, no one will survive today."
"Boss," Lu said quickly, "the law may be activated at any time. Now the empire is about to explode, and the Sherman family may go to extremes."
"They will blow it up."
Yang Ming said:
"According to the rhythm of our previous deductions and proceeding step by step, whoever is anxious now will be easily ruined."
"yes."
…
Sherman Empire, Emperor Star.
The old emperor walked barefoot, walking back and forth in front of the throne.
Below, more than a dozen of the empire's core ministers were anxiously discussing something.
The senior officials of the Imperial Foreign Affairs Bureau stationed at the Imperial Star Headquarters were all kneeling on the ground at this moment, not daring to breathe.
Daphne was sitting in a corner not far away, quickly organizing and transmitting information and thinking about countermeasures.
Daphne has discovered that the logic of this massive and all-round public opinion attack is almost the same as the previous riots that continued to break out throughout the empire.
The leading force behind this is most likely the anti-imperial alliance composed of the New Federation, the United Free States, and the Guel Alliance;
What they want to achieve is to split the empire internally and make the powerful empire collapse from the inside out.
Then, why did Hanton...
Is he united with this anti-imperial alliance?
Or is he also being used by these people?
'It should be the latter.'
Daphne thought to herself, focusing on the information that was constantly scrolling in front of her.
The roar of the old emperor came from the distance:
"Bastard! Trash! A bunch of trash! What have you done behind my back!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Foreign Affairs Bureau's replacement plan is with your permission..."
"What? Do you want me, the emperor of the empire, to come out and help you take the blame and clean up the mess?"
The old emperor was even more furious:
"Are you so loyal? Is this what you do, my ministers?"
A group of ministers could only bow their heads.
The Great Elder said: "Your Majesty, now all parts of the empire have fallen into chaos again due to the impact of this incident. The Imperial Star Circle has closed the network connections between stars. Huge losses are being incurred every minute. We must find ways to appease the people as soon as possible."
The old emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and sat back on the throne.
"Great Elder, were you promoted by me?" the old emperor asked softly.
"His Majesty!"
The great elder whispered:
"Everything I have is a gift from you... But now the empire is facing the crisis of being torn apart. Please, Your Majesty, step forward to turn the tide and give a comforting speech to the people.
"Everything, everything is for the glory of the Sherman Empire!"
The old emperor sneered and sat quietly, holding his forehead.
He is also thinking of countermeasures.
Now, those old guys asked him, the emperor, to stand up. They were just using him to divert people's attention and attract people's firepower. How could he let it go?
Is there any way to resolve the current crisis?
Or, let all crises be transferred to the round table?
If there is anything we can use...
"Oh, Your Majesty."
An old voice suddenly sounded from the side.
The old emperor frowned and looked in the direction of the sound. The light projected by the three-dimensional projector intertwined the figures of the three old people.
The old emperor stood up immediately.
No way, the old man on the left is the uploaded thought body of his biological father, the former Emperor of the Sherman Empire.
The old emperor was a little embarrassed and said in a low voice: "If you have anything, you can call me over to discuss it."
"His Majesty."
The old man in the middle said:
"We deeply apologize for interrupting your government affairs.
"The empire is in trouble. The Imperial Guard system has not responded to us for a long time. We can only place our hope in Imperial Guard 2.0. Now the network connection of the Imperial Star Circle is cut off, just to allow Imperial Guard 2.0 to take over smoothly later.
“We are deeply disappointed by the incompetence of this generation of imperial central and local governments.
"Now, you must be prepared. When Emperor Guard 2.0 successfully takes over the Emperor Star Circle Network, you need to give a televised speech, and you have to find ways to encourage the people.
"You can say that the empire is now suffering from the third natural disaster. The third natural disaster has chosen to infiltrate the empire from the outside to the inside and connect the previous troubles that the empire encountered.
"have you understood?"
"I understand, grandfather," the old emperor responded with his head lowered.
The old man nodded and said slowly: "In the long history of the empire, situations that are a hundred times more dangerous than now have happened from time to time. Don't get into trouble."
"I see."
The old emperor responded, and the projections of the three old men quickly disappeared.
The old emperor's expression darkened, he sat back in his seat and began to think about countermeasures.
In the main hall of the palace, the temperature seemed to be close to freezing point.
Daphne on the side glanced here and continued to lower her head to sort out the information.
Now she has essentially taken over the tentacles.
…
Imperial Golden Star, banquet venue.
Eight metal skeletons sit in a crowded lounge.
Inside the door were the senior officials of the Foreign Affairs Bureau and a few nobles, and outside the door were hundreds of guests attending the banquet.
Revell has recovered from the shock.
He followed Artero and successfully sneaked into the door. At this moment, he was hiding in the corner, looking at the Foreign Affairs Bureau officials and the robot skeleton, and for a moment he didn't know what to complain about.
The empire is really evil.
In order to control the subject countries, the empire directly replaced the emperors of the subject countries with omnics!
This is no longer a matter of breaking the moral bottom line;
This is no longer a question of whether to be a human being or not!
For a moment, Revell's remaining sense of honor disappeared.
He suddenly understood the White Ghost and why it targeted the Sherman family in this way.
Those old zombies in the empire who uploaded data to the server to extend their lifespan really didn’t do anything!
Princess Lorna complained: "Why is this happening!"
"Your Highness, you have asked this question seven times!"
A deputy director of the Foreign Affairs Bureau said angrily:
"Before we can't give you a clear answer, please don't disturb us with your screams!"
Princess Lorna glared at the person who spoke, but did not dare to attack at this time.
The skeleton of ‘Advant’ suddenly said: “Are we being targeted?”
A deputy director of the Foreign Affairs Bureau said:
"It has been found out now that you were enveloped by a special energy wave, and the materials on your body disintegrated simultaneously.
"We found some equipment above the lighting group in the banquet hall, and most of the equipment had self-destructed.
"Among the people attending the meeting, there must be spies planted by the enemy, and there is probably more than one."
"Our Military Intelligence Bureau is already working hard," Artero said hurriedly. "I have arranged enough manpower to conduct detailed investigations. However, it is difficult to obtain clear results in a short period of time."
An old man sighed: "We messed up!"
"The enemy is too cunning and has predicted our actions in advance. There must be spies within us."
"Now is not the time to assign blame, but to find solutions!"
"Everyone..."
The skeleton of ‘Advant’ spoke again:
"I wonder if I can stand up and say that we are omnics arranged by the New Federation..."
Everyone was silent.
This idea sounds good, but now, no one dares to give the order directly.
Revell suddenly said: "Why don't you admit your mistake directly to the people?"
One after another, figures turned their heads and looked over. Many old people looked at them as if they were looking at fools.
Revell spread his hands and did not continue to speak.
Artero made a gesture of listening, his expression was very ugly, and he said in a deep voice:
"I just received the news... Everyone, the real crisis of the empire has arrived. We must unite now! Use all our strength to face the next challenge!"
"Deputy Director Atro, please don't be too pretentious and tell me what happened?"
"Just now, sixteen of the emperors and government heads of the subordinate countries who attended the meeting took advantage of the chaos to leave the Imperial Star Circle and are returning to their territory."
Artero sighed:
"We can't stop them directly now, the border checkpoints are already trying to find ways to delay their return.
"Among the eight countries corresponding to the eight emperors here, six countries have already experienced armed unrest. Two countries have used the influence of the New Federation in the interstellar world to officially declare their independence and apply for political and military asylum from the New Federation.
."
"Those damn Federals!"
"Asshole! They really planned it!"
'Edwang' suddenly asked: "How is Luo Feng's situation?"
Atro immediately said: "Luofeng is the most stable situation. There is no military riot. Large-scale protests also broke out there. Your palace has been surrounded."
Lorna raised her hand to her forehead: "Who can help us now? If we can't control the situation, we will definitely be blamed by our father later, and we will lose everything..."
Prince Kinov sighed: "The best choice is to wait for orders."
‘Adwang’ lowered his head and made a thinker’s expression.
He asked: "People will hate me like this. Can I still get a simulated coat?"
There was no one around to answer.
They are all worried about something and thinking about something.
Behind Revell, a middle-aged official from the Foreign Affairs Bureau raised his hand and pulled out a few strands of his hair and put them into his mouth.
A faint wisp of gas floated out from the man's nostrils.
Revell murmured: "Is it too stuffy here? Why am I feeling dizzy?"
Before he finished speaking, several old people in the room fell down almost at the same time.
"what happened?"
"this……"
Amidst the rustling sound, the figures in the house staggered around, their minds were confused, and they were all drowsy.
The eight Emperor Omnics looked up at the corner;
After falling down, Revell reluctantly raised his head, tried to open his eyes, and saw the figure walking by in front of him.
The middle-aged official's body appeared like ripples of light and shadow, and his clothes turned into a smooth mirror... It turned into the silhouette of a woman in a few seconds!
Revell suddenly thought of something...
Liquid metal robot!
A liquid metal robot that once appeared in the empire and assassinated an entire department of the Foreign Affairs Bureau!
The robot tiptoed through the unconscious crowd, arrived at Princess Lorna, and bowed its head.
Before Revel was completely unconscious, he only saw the liquid robot turning into another 'Rona', with his finger pointed at the real Princess Lorna's head...
