The news that the "Hangzhou" was raided by air pirates on the route of Star Lafite in the third star field could not be suppressed. In other words, it was deliberately leaked. The news quickly spread on Skynet and was irreversible.
From brewing to fermentation stage.
The popularity quickly surpassed the news that just hit the screen that the second son of the Minister of Finance and Audit died in a car accident.
After all, it was just the death of one person or several people. If the deceased did not have the halo of the minister's father on his head, no one would even click on the news of a car accident that could happen at any time in the Federation's hundred-light-year star field.
Except for some people who are extremely politically sensitive, for ordinary people who occupy a larger number of people in the Federation, the news of air pirates attacking a starship is very different.
Of course, many times what people are concerned about is not the impact and damage caused by the unscrupulous space pirates in the Federation's abandoned star domain. In fact, a starship has a total of more than 200 people, from crew to passengers.
The fact that people may encounter disasters does not affect them much.
Intelligent creatures like human beings are very strange. If there were a large number of women or children among the people who were killed, they would spontaneously be filled with pity and anger from the bottom of their hearts.
If the majority of people who want to cross the border are adults, then their focus is not on the disappearance of a large number of lives.
Except for the family members of the passengers on board the Hangzhou who felt heartbreaking pain and rushed to the rescue points designated by the federal government in the two major southwestern galaxies at night for their families to wait for the return of their loved ones, the rest of the people were more concerned about the reasons behind this incident.
Lots of gossip details.
For example: Why did the Hangzhou enter the third star field at the risk of encountering air pirates, and what was their purpose in doing so? Another example is the origin of the famous air pirates on Lafite Star and the entanglements between their forces.
That, to the grief-stricken family members, was more like an entertainment carnival with steamed buns stained with human blood.
It's not that people are numb, it's human nature itself. When they just hear the news but don't see the cruel scenes of life gradually fading away, you want them to feel a huge sense of grief. That's a scene that can only be described in romantic novels.
Just like war, only if you experience it personally will you know how cruel it is. It seems that no matter how bloody the video and picture you can see, it is at best like a stone thrown into the pond, except for a few ripples of mercy.
, and became calm again.
However, famous air pirates like Niall and Romande were unearthed by major news media and made public the numerous crimes they had committed over the years. Each of the murders they committed was shocking.
People who are good at forgetting discovered that the air pirates are not the knights in romantic novels who fight against oppression and travel to the ends of the earth with swords. They are space bandits who kill people and take wealth on the ocean in the ancient Blue Star era. Life is in their eyes.
Like ants.
What makes some people even more frightened is that Shen Chengfeng's air pirate gang, a federal taboo, has been repeatedly mentioned by many mainstream media this time.
The "collective defection incident of the Federal Army" that had never been announced to the public ten years ago also quietly unfolded in front of the public in a way that was close to the truth.
"If a bloody wound is only allowed to grow without the courage to open it, it is more likely that pus will grow instead of healing the wound. The same principle applies to the federation and the nation." This is the person who stood in front of him.
The admiral in the small building's office said to the burly middle-aged man in a suit with a serious face in the holographic projection.
The middle-aged man was silent for a moment: "Tomorrow morning, you may encounter tremendous pressure from the People's Assembly!"
The general stood proudly: "Let's see if they have the courage to overturn the chessboard and play chess again. Head of State, believe it or not, ever since I saw that hundred-year-old agreement when I was 6 years old, I have had the courage to overthrow and smash it.
Starry sky chessboard wish. In the situation at that time, I can understand the helplessness of our ancestors. I personally am not willing to realize my personal will at the cost of mobilizing the whole people to participate in the war. However, what I want to say is, looking at
Humanity has a history of more than 10,000 years, and the bloody facts tell us that tolerance cannot bring peace, but once tolerance lasts for a long time, it becomes a habit."
"You have to understand, just as that huge enemy knows that we will never surrender, we also know that they will never let us become stronger. No matter how vast the starry sky is, for humans, it is just a jungle. This is the jungle.
law."
After saying this, the two fell into a brief silence.
"Okay! You have convinced me. I will let the Head of State's Office come forward to coordinate with the People's Assembly for this incident. I hope that ends here." The middle-aged man was silent for a moment, and finally answered with bright eyes.
He didn't seem surprised that the leader of the military would say this.
However, he is not accustomed to easily agree with the other party's point of view.
"Haha, then they have to pray first that Major General Changsun Xueqing can return safely." The corners of the admiral's lips curved with a hint of coldness.
Under the starry sky, a father protecting his calf brazenly bared his fangs at all his opponents.
He can give up his daughter for the country and the nation on the edge of war, but it does not mean that those who hurt his daughter can escape unscathed.
No one would have thought that a person who has been in such a high position for more than ten years and has learned to move among various factions to exchange interests and strive to maintain various political balances would actually have the power to overturn everything at such an important and critical moment.
courage.
If they knew, maybe they wouldn't have the courage to reach out to Changsun Xueqing.
They forgot that that man was in a high position, but he was also a soldier and a father.
Soldiers, when faced with Chi Guoguo's provocation to invade their territory, are often the first to raise their guns.
The existence of Shen Chengfeng's air pirate gang is no longer important due to the gradual revelation of the "collective defection of federal soldiers" incident, including the Hangzhou incident itself. The focus of the federal people that night was entirely on the "Defection Gate" incident.
superior.
It turned out that the Federation had encountered such a terrible security incident, and a Jiepen man actually held the high position of major general. Although his final outcome was that he was found out and sentenced to death for espionage and endangering national security, but how did he get to this point?
What about those in high positions?
The attention of countless federal people was deliberately directed by several major news media to certain high-level figures behind the scenes who were not well known to the public.
Of course, when Shen Chengfeng's air pirate gang appeared with great fanfare on Skynet and was carefully analyzed, many news media also began to build momentum on Skynet, saying that Shen Chengfeng's team spent more than a year gathering family members, but the relevant departments did nothing.
This eventually led to the disclosure of details of the ministry's escape from the federation with their families and some prisoners in charge of the prison, pointing the finger at the General Staff, which is responsible for the security supervision of the federal army.
This statement has naturally been supported by some people. With as many as two hundred soldiers and hundreds of family members and prisoners defecting, the high command of the federal army naturally has a responsibility that cannot be shied away from. Someone should stand up and take responsibility for this.
For a time, there were divergent opinions on Tianwang and it became a mess.
This night is definitely a sleepless night for the people of the Southwest Federation.
The truth seems to be coming out, but it is still unclear.
Perhaps ordinary people will never know. What they can know will be known to them. What they will not know will be covered by the fog of history, and only a corner of it will be eased as time goes by.
Slowly unfold in front of people in the future.
Or maybe, the truth of the matter will be covered up forever. In the long time, no one will pay attention to it, and it will completely become the dust of history.
This is how history, whether true or false, appears.
Even those who are experiencing these events are only experiencing the tip of the iceberg of the truth.
The stage of history is very big, and everyone can only play their own role on that stage.
Whether it is struggling to survive or trying to release the light.
