158 Siege of Tarsonis

 The hemisphere where the city of Tarsonis is located is on the other side of the planet facing the star. The number of meteor showers is much greater than ever before. The debris of the orbital station the size of a city falls from the sky and emits when it cuts through the atmosphere.

The glory makes it look like a sun falling to the ground.

The sky is shining with bright orange spots, like dazzling new stars. These new stars are hundreds of times brighter than Polaris, and some of them are even brighter than the sun in an instant. They are battlecruisers that have fallen into low-Earth orbit.

.

The air raid sirens blaring all night long devastated the nervous nerves of the Tarsonis people. The sharp sirens and the occasional roar of explosions were higher than people's heads. The chaos and exodus from the city could no longer be stopped. The men dragged their families with them.

Driving away from the brightly lit city area with suitcases and children.

Looting of weapons stores and department stores plunged areas into a sea of ​​flames, with billowing smoke drawing more people as rebels and government forces exchanged gunfire in the city.

Chaos, screaming, crying.

On the third hour when the air raid siren was sounded, seven major cities, including the main city of Tarsonis, fell into hysterical chaos.

The sky was full of flying cars and private yachts, and the transportation network on the ground was in chaos. Car accidents, traffic jams, and resulting conflicts continued one after another. The number of casualties caused by mutual injuries and accidents soon jumped to tens of thousands.

.

Before the rebels even sent a single soldier to land on Tarsonis, order on the planet collapsed.

Even the most dedicated Tarsonis police officers didn't know whether to evacuate the crowds or prevent people from fleeing the city at this time. The deputy chief of police was furious because 70% of the Tarsonis police officers were missing, while those above him were

Busy hiding in the heavily fortified underground "conference hall" for meetings.

Due to the chaos of management and the incompetence of some officials, Tarsonis's administrative system knew nothing about the war situation except that the enemy was the rebels from Korhal.

Everyone outside the federal parliament and cabinet was confused. They didn’t know how many warships the rebel fleet parked in high-altitude orbit had. The federal naval command emphasized several times that I had the advantage, but after a few hours, the alarm still remained.

Not lifted.

Nearly all of the losses came from within Tarsonis, and the rebels simply moved the fleet into orbit. Although Korhal's rebels have not launched any form of attack on cities and large settlements, every minute

The damage caused to Tarsonis will take dozens of times longer to make up for.

Both officials and civilians were at a loss. The information they received was that a large-scale rebellion broke out on Korhal 4, but they never expected that the rebels would have the strength to raid Tarsonis.

During the four-year Kailian War, the Kaimorian Alliance only attacked the main star world of the Sara system. Their fleet did not take the initiative when fighting against the Federation Navy, and was often only able to conduct passive defense.

The Kemerian Federation also has main star worlds and mining worlds to defend, and it is impossible for the Federation government to mobilize a fleet to attack Tarsonis with all their might.

By this time, even the drunkards who loudly discussed politics and the situation in the bars began to believe that the problem of the Korhal rebels was no longer a geopolitical issue or an insurgency that would be quelled in one to two years at most.

The problem of Korhal is likely to continue to exist with the Terran Federation's regime for a long time, and the possibility of compromise between the two parties is slim. Otherwise, either the Korhal people will establish an independent regime independent of the federal government, or they will be the executioners of the Federation.

They drove out all the Korhals and killed them.

A cruel fact lies in front of the Tarsonis people who have experienced this nightmare, that is, it is not impossible for Tarsonis to fall.

...

——We never imagined that Tarsonis would fall. It was like someone told me that God was stabbed to death by assassins and that Jesus was never resurrected. Whether it was the gorgeously dressed politicians in the Federation Council who were actually in ruins,

The justices of the Federal Court wearing smelly wigs and those officials in the cabinet who were sweet-talking and full of official accents were all rushing around, shouting: Where is the carriage to take me home? Pick up my twenty lovers, and then

Bring a stack of diapers and let me run first!

While UNN morning editor Mike Liberty was still typing on the keyboard, an "earthquake" occurred. The flower pots in the office swayed and fell to the ground, the bookshelves shook, and the ceiling moved left and right.

While taking a calm sip of coffee, Mike made a note at the bottom of the document: 2489.6.21, earthquake, felt in Tarsonis City.

"Why are you still sitting here?" Anderson, the editor-in-chief of unn Universe News Network, is a middle-aged man with a wide body and a fat body. His head is bald and only two curls of black hair remain on his temples.

Anderson looked at the same thing as he passed by Mike Liberty's office carrying his briefcase, and suddenly screamed, and the layers of fat accumulated on his belly trembled with violent movements like breathing.

"The rebels are already here!" He said: "Run, Mike, do you still want to take a shot from the rebels again? Let me tell you, you can survive only because you are lucky."

"Rebels?" Mike Liberty immediately showed a horrified expression: "Anderson's, I thought it was an earthquake."

"Didn't you hear the siren?" Anderson was also very surprised. The young man didn't look panicked at all. Could it be that there was something wrong with his ears.

"I overslept." Mike shrugged. He was not worried about what the Revolutionary Army would do to him, because to be precise, he was now a Revolutionary Army soldier.

Not long ago, I joined the Van Tailen Party, and I am certified as a revolutionary comrade.

"..." Anderson was shocked by Mike's blatant fishing and being so honest, but in general, Anderson admired Mike's calmness in dealing with changes. He had this kind of character that remained unchanged despite the collapse of the mountain.

They are the ones who can appear first in dangerous situations and make big news.

Moreover, Mike's sharp and pungent writing style is something Anderson admires very much. There is always a market for news reports that emphasize authenticity.

However, just as Anderson was about to leave, there was another shocking loud noise that turned his face pale. Just outside Mike's office, a Leviathan-class battlecruiser crashed in the northern city. It could be seen even from more than ten miles away.

to the sky-high flames.

The impact point looked like a fleeting, semicircular sun. The shock wave shattered the glass of the skyscraper, peeling off the superstructure and exposing the metal frame below. The phosphorus-containing dust produced by the explosion was

The fire spread for miles and engulfed residential and commercial areas, sending plumes of smoke billowing into the sky.

"Now, the casualties must be more than 10,000 or 20,000. How many people will be burned alive."

Mike looked at the tragic scene outside the ship and shook his head: "We should send more manpower to rescue the affected civilians."

"Tarthonis is burning."
