The 3rd Fleet was crushed and defeated by the expeditionary force. Within forty-eight hours of the defeat, the story had spread throughout the Earth Federation of Citizens, and even civilians who were like "leeks" and had no rights at all knew about it.
Although the top federal officials have been strictly enforcing a blockade, no matter what, they can no longer cover up the matter as before. It is as if there is an invisible hand controlling everything behind the network.
As for the entire Federation, because of the defeat of the 3rd Fleet, panic, fear, confusion and other emotions spread rapidly among the people who originally had a contemptuous attitude towards the Zerg.
After all, there are a total of five fleets that can be called elite by the federal army, namely the 1st to 5th fleets.
The 1st and 2nd fleets are responsible for the defense inside and outside the solar system, while the 3rd, 4th and 5th fleets are responsible for leading the remaining fleets at the three-way border to eradicate the Zerg.
But in just two hours, the 3rd Fleet was gone?
How to fight this??
Should we wait a few more hours, or ten more hours, and the entire federal army will be finished?
Because the 3rd Fleet has 240 million members! More than 200 million people died in two hours. This was much more tragic than the first battle between humans and the Araki Zerg. However, at this moment...
"All citizens please do not panic or listen to rumors. At present, the federal army has not confirmed the information about the destruction of the 3rd Fleet. Please rest assured that our station will continue to follow up the report. Next, our reporter Ryan Dinoz
Live interview with Duke Salom on his jackpot win…
…”
"Pfft...hahahaha!"
"Rumors? Rumors are nothing. There are videos on the Internet!"
"Do you really think we are fools? Citizens, please rest assured, pfft... Do you think being a citizen means you will die?"
After listening to the news station host's report on the 3rd Fleet incident, there was a burst of boos and jeers in the bar, obviously very unhappy with the federal government and federal troops, as well as the "citizen" term used by the host.
I saw that in this dimly lit bar hall with the accompaniment of this minor tune, there were many people sitting here who had nothing to do after get off work, wearing suits, work clothes, or casual clothes, drinking and having fun, and eating snacks. and fast food, teasing and gossiping about each other, but now, people are unanimously focusing on the 3rd Fleet.
It is difficult to distinguish civilians from citizens simply by looking at their clothing, appearance and appearance. After all, only the bartender can check everyone's ID to ensure whether the customers entering the bar are of age. However, judging from people's reactions after listening to the news broadcast, there are absolutely no
Most of them are civilians. Even if there are citizens, they don't dare to speak out at this time, so they can only drink and drink alone.
The sky outside the window was dim and there were many tall and huge buildings. Overall, it was similar to the urban area in the main universe. However, there were not many car-like airships above the streets.
Although it is impossible to tell where this bar is located from the view outside the window, the holographic TV hanging above the bar lobby displays "San Diego time 20:21", which directly indicates that this bar is located in San Diego, on the west coast of North America.
"Ding~"
At this time, the main entrance of the hall suddenly opened, and a group of federal soldiers wearing dark gray formal uniforms and officer hats walked in.
Seeing this, people's discussions and laughter stopped abruptly, and they all turned their attention to the dozen or so soldiers walking towards the bar.
On the other hand, the soldiers felt uncomfortable being stared at, but due to their professionalism, these soldiers did not say anything harsh and just stared back with more fierce eyes.
After the soldiers sat at the bar, took off their officer hats, and ordered their own drinks from the bartender, the atmosphere in the hall relaxed a little.
Everything went on as usual, drinking, talking and joking once again, but the volume of chatter between people was obviously much lower. It seemed that people still cared about the soldiers.
However, there is never a shortage of "thorns" at any time and in any place.
I saw two strong men in dirty overalls, both about 1.9 meters tall, getting up and leaving their original positions, deliberately sitting down next to the soldiers.
One of the strong men even waved to the bartender: "Hey! Man, I want to invite..."
While he was talking, another strong man was pointing at all the soldiers present in an extremely impolite manner, and then made a "13" gesture to the first strong man.
So the first strong man took advantage of the situation and continued to the bartender: "I want to treat these thirteen cowards to a glass of vodka each, hahaha!"
"Uh..." The bartender didn't know how to answer the question.
"What did you say?! You fucking bastard!" However, a corporal with a hot temper could no longer bear his anger. He slammed the bar table, stood up, and immediately pretended to want to beat someone.
"Calm down! Soldier! Calm down!"
"Brother, calm down!"
Fortunately, a group of comrades also got up quickly and stopped the grumpy corporal. Otherwise, if he had fought with civilians and the fight had been videotaped by some people with ulterior motives, the corporal's career would have been over.
"Haha, you are indeed such a coward as a bitch. I just scolded you and your dog coins. What can you do? Ah? Hit me! Come on!"
However, the strong man kicked his nose into his face, threw away his work jacket, and assumed a very amateur fighting posture, constantly provoking the soldiers who were restraining their emotions.
As for the other strong man, he took out his ultra-thin mobile phone, turned on the video recording function and stood not far away to take pictures.
"This civilian, please respect yourself." A second lieutenant tidied up his uniform and stood in front of the strong man with "righteous words" and said: "You have violated Article 5 of the Federation. I can call the military police to arrest you now..."
"Arrest your mother!"
"Bang!" There was a muffled sound, and the strong man didn't bother to beep anymore. He punched the second lieutenant on the chin with all his strength, and then started doing it.
This action was equivalent to setting the entire hall on fire. The soldiers no longer paid attention to the consequences and prepared to beat up the strong men. The siege immediately angered many civilians who were already dissatisfied with the federal government and the federal army, and fierce conflicts broke out between the two sides.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Even if the bartender, waiter and bar owner tried their best to dissuade it, it was to no avail, and they almost got involved.
Just as the conflict is intensifying...
"Hey! Stop fighting! Stop fucking fighting and watch TV!" the bar owner yelled at the top of his lungs.
Several civilians who were just "fishing" and "paddling" during the entire process immediately turned their attention to the holographic TV that had been working normally.
"Fuck! Stop fighting! Stop fighting!!"
"Look at the TV! It's the federal marshal!"
Seeing this, several civilians not only stopped fighting on their own, but even "helped" the soldiers to stabilize everyone's mood.
After hearing the word "Federal Marshal" and more and more people turning their attention to the holographic TV and seeing the content played on the TV, they all stopped waving their fists and found their own best angles to "watch TV".
”.
Because the content broadcast on the TV at this moment is not a real-time interview that people would never pay attention to. Instead, it is a "video" of a dark-skinned, fat female federal marshal discussing matters with a group of high-ranking officials and generals in a conference room.
However, in the video content, the female federal marshal was only a general with outstanding meritorious service, and she was sitting in the deputy position in the conference room. The person sitting in the main position was a white-haired woman with a wrinkled face, who seemed to be very "kind".
A "nice" guy.
In fact, this guy was the former federal marshal who gave the order to raid the Zerg home planet, causing the federal army to lose the first battle and suffer heavy casualties.
Moreover, what this "affable" former marshal discussed with a group of senior officials and generals made everyone in the bar hall, including the thirteen soldiers, shudder.
"Everyone." The former marshal said in a deep voice with the same expression: "Forty-five minutes ago, we detected an asteroid from the Zerg realm, and its target was the Earth. Therefore, I hereby propose to use this asteroid to
Planet to save the crumbling Federation."
"Oh?" After hearing this, a general immediately answered: "Marshal, do you mean to start a full-scale war with the Arachi Zerg?"
"That's right." The former marshal nodded lightly.
"But Marshal, we don't know much about the Zerg. If we act rashly... we may fall into the quagmire of war. Moreover, if we don't take any defensive measures, tens of millions, no, hundreds of millions of innocent people will die." An elderly man said.
The youngest admiral seemed to have some objections.
"Without sacrifice, there is no victory." The former marshal said firmly: "If there is no stimulation from external forces, the disintegration of the Federation is inevitable. Therefore, this is the only way to save the Federation from difficulties. Who has any objections?"
"I agree." The dark-skinned current female marshal immediately agreed.
"No."
"I agree."
More and more generals and senior officials agreed, and even the generals who had objections had no choice but to sigh and nod in agreement as if they were violating their conscience.
"Very good." The former marshal stood up, looked around at everyone and said: "Our first priority now is to vigorously publicize the dangers of the Zerg and prepare for war, for the sake of the Federation!"
"For the Federation!" All senior officials and generals stood up and saluted.
When the video ended, the TV screen went black. At the same time, the bar hall also fell into silence and a strange atmosphere.
"Hey..." The second lieutenant, who was the most knowledgeable of all, with blood stains on the corner of his mouth and swollen left cheek, quickly looked at his boss and warned with a serious face: "Privately broadcasting this kind of video that has been processed and synthesized to slander the federal leadership or
Pictures will be punished indefinitely, or even the death penalty."
"Sir, this is not me...it suddenly played these on its own. I can't even turn it off." The boss was about to burst into tears. He explained while keeping pressing the power button on the remote control to prove himself.
"This is probably not a synthetic video, it may be a very skilled hacker who hacked the real-time program." Instead, a network engineer said something for the boss.
"It turns out that the Federation has detected the asteroid a long time ago!"
"I'm fucking your mother! My sister is in Buenos Aires! You bunch of beasts! Bastards!"
"I will kill you executioners!!"
At this time, people began to realize that the Federation was not "failed" to detect and defend against asteroid attacks. It turned out that it was "failed" to defend!
So after learning the truth, both civilians and citizens pointed their fingers at the thirteen soldiers present and prepared to vent their anger.
"Wait...this is fake!"
"We don't know either!"
Looking at the angry people, the second lieutenant and the corporal didn't know what to do. However, these soldiers still believed that what they just played was just a composite video.
"I am Lieutenant Jean Razak of the Hard Bones Company..." At this moment, the TV screen turned from black to bright, showing the upper body of Razak, as well as the long face behind Razak, Rigo, Flos and everyone
Hard bones.
And Razak also narrated with a solemn face: "My men and I received the order to hold the Whiskey Outpost for two hours until the arrival of the 3rd Fleet. However, with only one company and one billion, tens of billions
The bug battle…
Ha!" Razak laughed at himself in displeasure and said angrily: "It's okay to let an old man like me die, but my subordinates are all nineteen or twenty-year-old kids! They should have done something for the future of mankind.
Contribution, but can the federal high-level officials just use their fingers and lips to let people die at will? Can they sacrifice themselves at will just to win military honors for those high-level officials?!"
Next, Razak, as a low-level officer, angrily denounced the federal senior officials. The intention expressed by this old lieutenant was that they could die in battle and be sacrificed, but they should not be treated as entertainment and "playing" abandoned children by the senior officials!
Hearing Razak's words instantly resonated with the second lieutenant and soldiers who were surrounded by everyone, because... it's true, especially the second lieutenant as an officer, who already felt the depravity of the Federation.
Not long after, the screen content switched again, showing Sarah and the wolves "assisting" to solve the crisis in the sea of insects. There were many wonderful moments of the wolf blasting the insects with a punch and slashing the insects with a sword. These wonderful scenes were edited.
It's very comfortable, without any sense of discomfort.
Immediately afterwards, the scene changed to the scene of the disastrous defeat of the 3rd Fleet when it encountered the expeditionary force. There was no way to fight back. Of course, the content of the video released later did not end there, but also revealed more disgusting inside stories about the Federation.
Although civilians have long known that the Federation is not very good, and citizens and soldiers are also disappointed with the Federation, everyone calmed down and ate snacks and fast food while drinking. After sitting down and watching the entire video...
Disgust and disappointment were put lightly. Civilians and citizens were eager to join the resistance organization immediately and prepare for a march to protest. The second lieutenant and corporal even wanted to "strike" with their comrades.
Emotions have been heightened by various "facts" to the extreme. At this moment, people no longer care whether the video is true or false, but...
People don't seem to have the courage to confront the Federation with real swords and guns. After all, the size of the Federation army is there, how can they fight?
However, people don't actually need to worry about this problem, because there will be "someone" to deal with the top brass of the federal government and federal army for them.
outside the atmosphere.
In the cosmic domain at least 600 kilometers away from the earth's surface, sixteen blue vortices representing the jump exit suddenly appeared.
