Umbrella, The Light of Humanity - Chapter 346
Within forty-eight hours after the 3rd Fleet was crushed and defeated by the expeditionary force, the deed had spread to the entire Earth Citizens Federation, and even civilians who had no rights like “leek” knew about it.
Although the top officials of the Federation have been strictly ordering the blockade, no matter what, they can no longer cover up this matter as they did at the beginning. It is like an invisible hand controlling everything behind the network.
And the Federation, because of the collapse of the 3rd Fleet, became panic, fear, confusion and other emotions, quietly spread and spread rapidly among the people who were originally in contempt for the Zerg.
After all, there are 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 in the three-way border to eradicate the Zerg.
But in just two hours, the 3rd Fleet was gone?
How to fight this??
Did you wait a few more hours, ten hours, and the entire federal army was finished?
Because the 3rd Fleet has 240 million members! More than 200 million people were gone for two hours, which was much more tragic than the first battle between humans and the Arachi Zerg, but at this moment.
“All citizens please don’t panic, and don’t listen to rumors. At present, the federal army has not confirmed the information of the destruction of the 3rd Fleet. Please rest assured that all citizens will continue to follow up and report. Live interview with Duke Saom on winning the lottery.
“Pfft. Hahahaha!”
“Rumors? Rumors are bullshit, there are videos on the Internet!”
“Do you really take us for fools? Please don’t worry citizens, poof… Is being a citizen just to die?”
After listening to the news station host’s report on the incident of the 3rd Fleet, there was a burst of boos and ridicules in the bar, obviously very displeased with the federal government and the federal army, as well as the “citizen” word used by the host.
I saw that in this dimly lit bar hall with the accompaniment of this minor tune, many people in suits, work clothes, or casual clothes sat here to drink and have a snack after work. And fast food, teasing and bullshitting each other, and now, people are talking about the 3rd Fleet.
It is difficult to distinguish a civilian from a citizen simply by looking at the clothes, appearance and appearance. After all, only the bartender can check everyone’s ID card to make sure that the customer entering the bar is an adult, but judging from the reactions of people after listening to the news broadcast, absolutely Most of them are civilians, and even if there are citizens, they don’t dare to speak out at this time, and they have to drink to themselves.
The sky outside the window was dim, and there were many towering giant buildings, which were similar to the main cosmos metropolitan area as a whole, but there were not many car-like airships over the streets.
Although it is impossible to tell where the bar is located from the view from the window, the holographic TV hanging above the bar lobby, showing “20:21 San Diego time”, directly indicates that the 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 clothes and officers’ caps walked in. Seeing this, people’s discussion and laughter stopped abruptly, and they all turned their attention to more than a dozen soldiers walking towards the bar.
On the other hand, the soldiers were stared at and felt uncomfortable, but their professionalism made these soldiers not say anything cruel, but just stared back with more fierce eyes.
After the soldiers sat at the bar, took off their officers’ caps, and ordered their own drinks from the bartender, the atmosphere in the hall eased a little. It was business as usual, drinking and talking and teasing were staged again, but the volume of chatting between people was obviously much lower. It seemed that people still cared about the soldiers.
However, at any time, anywhere, there is never a shortage of “thorns”.
I saw two sturdy men in dirty overalls, with a height of about 1.9 meters, got up and left their original positions, deliberately sitting next to the soldiers.
One of the strong men also waved at the bartender: “Hey! Dude, I want to invite…
At the same time, another strong man was pointing at all the soldiers present in an extremely impolite way, 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 invite these thirteen cowards, a glass of vodka each, hahaha!”
“Um…” The bartender didn’t know how to answer.
“What did you say?! What a **** shit!” But a fiery corporal couldn’t bear his anger any longer, slammed down the bar table, stood up, and immediately assumed a posture of wanting to punch someone.
“Calm down! Soldier! Calm down!”
“Brother calm down!”
Fortunately, a group of comrades also got up quickly and stopped the grumpy corporal. Otherwise, he would fight with the civilians, and some people with ulterior motives would shoot a video of the fight, then the corporal’s career would be over.
“Oh, you are really a coward like a son of a bitch, just scolding you and your group of dog coins, what can you do? Ah? Hit me! Come on!”
However, the strong man pushed his nose on his face, and threw away the work uniform and jacket he took off.
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 shoot.
“This civilian, please respect yourself.” A second lieutenant packed up his uniform and stood in front of the strong man with “righteousness” and said, “You have violated Article 5 of the Federation. Now I can call the military police to arrest you. . . ”
“Arrest your mother!”
“Bang!” With a muffled sound, the strong man didn’t bother to beep any more, he punched the second lieutenant’s chin with all his might, and then went straight to work.
This time, it was equivalent to igniting the entire hall. The soldiers ignored the consequences and prepared to fight the strong men. The besieging action immediately angered many civilians who were dissatisfied with the federal government and the federal army, and a fierce conflict broke out between the two sides.
Even the bartenders, waiters, and bar owners tried to dissuade them, and almost got them involved.
As the conflict intensifies…
“Hey! Stop fighting! Stop **** fighting, watch TV as fuck!!” the bar owner yelled.
Several civilians who were just “fishing” and “paddling” the whole time immediately focused their attention on the holographic TV that had been working normally.
??!!
“Fuck! Stop fighting! Stop fighting!!”
“Watch TV! It’s the federal marshal!”
Seeing this, several civilians not only stopped fighting, but even “helped” the soldiers to stabilize everyone’s emotions.
Hearing “Federal Marshal”, and more and more people turned their attention to the holographic TV, and after seeing the content on the TV, they all stopped their fist-waving hands and found their best angle to “watch TV”. “.
Because the content broadcast on TV at the moment is not a real-time interview that people never pay attention to, but a “video” of a dark-skinned and fat female federal marshal discussing matters with a group of high-ranking officials and generals in the conference room.
However, in the video content, the female federal marshal was only an admiral with outstanding achievements, and was sitting in the position of the deputy in the conference room. Sitting in the main seat was a man with white hair and a wrinkled face, who seemed to be very “kind”, “” kind” guy.
In fact, this guy is the former federal marshal who gave the order to raid the Zerg home planet, which caused the first battle of the federal army to lose and suffered heavy casualties.
Moreover, what this “amiable” former marshal discussed with a group of high-ranking officials and generals made everyone in the bar hall, including the thirteen soldiers, shudder.
“Everyone.” The former marshal’s voice was deep and his expression remained the same: “Forty-five minutes ago, we detected an asteroid from the Zerg domain, and the target was the Earth, so I hereby propose to use this asteroid. planets to save the crumbling Federation.
“Oh?” Hearing that, an admiral 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, and if we don’t make any defensive measures, tens of millions, no, hundreds of millions of innocent people will die.” The youngest general seems to have some dissent.
“Without sacrifice, there will be no victory.” The former marshal firmly said: “If there is no stimulation from external forces, the division of the Federation is inevitable, so only in this way can we save the Federation from embarrassment. Who has any objection?”
“I agree.” The current female marshal with dark skin immediately agreed.
“No.’
“I agree.’
More and more generals and high-ranking officials agreed, and even the generals who had dissent had to sigh helplessly and nod in agreement as if they violated their conscience.
“Very good.” The former marshal stood up, looked around at everyone and said, “Our priority now is to vigorously publicize the danger of Zerg and prepare for war, for the Federation!”
“For the Federation!” All the senior officials and generals stood up and saluted.
At the end of the video, the TV screen fell into a black screen, and at the same time, the bar hall also fell into a silence and a strange atmosphere.
“Hey…” The second lieutenant with blood stains on the corners of his mouth and swollen left cheek hurriedly looked at the boss and warned with a serious face: “Privately broadcast this kind of video that has been processed and synthesized to slander the leaders of the Federation. Or pictures, will be punished with life, or even the death penalty.”
“Sir, it’s not me. It’s what it suddenly played. I can’t even turn it off.” The boss wanted to cry but he explained, and kept pressing the power button of the remote control to prove himself.
“This shouldn’t be a synthetic video. It may be that a very clever hacker hacked the real-time program.” It was a network engineer who said something to the boss.
“It turns out that the Federation has already detected an asteroid!”
“I’m your mother! Lao Tzu’s sister is in Buenos Aires! You bastards! Assholes!”
“I killed you executioners!!”
At this time, people began to realize that the Federation was not “failed” to detect and defend against asteroid attacks.
So after learning the truth, both civilians and citizens pointed their finger at the thirteen soldiers present, ready to vent their anger.
“Wait.. this is fake!”
“We don’t know either!”
Looking at the angry crowd, the second lieutenant and corporal didn’t know what to do. However, these soldiers still believed that what was just played was just a composite video.
“I’m Lieutenant Jean Razak of the Hard Bone Company.” At this moment, the screen of the TV changed from black to light, showing Razak’s upper body, and the long face behind Razak, Rigo, Fros and the whole group. hard bones.
And Razak also recounted with a dignified expression: “My subordinates and I were ordered to hold the Whiskey Outpost for two hours until the arrival of the 3rd Fleet. However, with only one company and one billion, ten billion bug fight.
Ha!” Razak laughed at himself, and said angrily: “It’s okay to let an old man like me die, but my subordinates are a group of nineteen- and twenty-year-old children! This should be done for the future of mankind. Contribution, but the top officials of the Federation can let people die at will with their fingers and mouths? Can they sacrifice at will for those high-level leaders to win military merit?!”
Next, Razak scolded the top officials of the Federation as a low-level officer. The old lieutenant’s intention was that they could die in battle and sacrifice, but they should not be treated as abandoned children for entertainment and “play” by the high-level officials!
Hearing Razak’s words instantly resonated with the second lieutenant and the soldiers who were surrounded by the crowd, because…it’s true, especially the second lieutenant, who was an officer, already felt the depravity that appeared in the Federation.
It didn’t take long for the content of the screen to switch again, and it was played that Sarah and the wild wolves “assisted” the hard bones to solve the worm sea crisis. There were many wonderful moments when the wolves punched and slashed insects with a sword, and these wonderful pictures were edited. It’s very comfortable, without a trace of inconsistency.
Immediately afterwards, the screen changed to the scene of the fiasco when the 3rd Fleet encountered the expeditionary force, and there was no way to fight back. Of course, the content of the video released later did not stop there, but also revealed more disgusting insider stories of the Federation.
Although the civilians have long known that the Federation is not very good, and the citizens and soldiers are also disappointed with the Federation, but everyone calmed down and drank, ate snacks and fast food, and sat down to watch the entire video:
Disgust and disappointment are considered minor. Civilians and citizens can’t wait to join the resistance organization immediately and prepare for a demonstration to protest. The second lieutenant and corporal want to “strike” with their comrades.
Emotions have been brought to the climax by various “facts”. At this moment, people no longer care whether the video is true or not. It’s just that people don’t seem to have the guts to fight against the federation. After all, the size of the federation army is in It’s there, how to fight?
However, people don’t really need to worry about this problem, because there will be “people” who will solve the high-level federal government and federal military for them.
outside the atmosphere.
Sixteen blue vortexes representing the transition exits suddenly appeared in the space domain, which was at least 600 kilometers away from the surface.
