The Colkines' landing force was rescued, but the landing force elsewhere was not so lucky, and in the space of this day alone, the number of human casualties exceeded half a million.

Although for the higher-ups, the casualties of soldiers are just a number, but such a heavy defeat also makes them lose face.

Not only that, but when the news of the fiasco reached the Earth Federation, wave after wave of anti-war demonstrations took place for weeks, chanting slogans and demonstrating in front of the government of each administrative star, asking why the federal government was attacking a planet full of bugs, and what resources were on it, worth the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

The energy crystal, which is a treasure worth a thousand gold at the military level and even for cultivators, but unfortunately, it has almost no role in the civilian field, so in the eyes of ordinary people, the federal government has let hundreds of thousands of soldiers die on alien planets just for these dispensable things, which they cannot tolerate.

If the Earth Federation is at war with other forces at this time, and they need to improve their military power, then the ordinary people may be able to accept this, but now the Earth Federation has no enemies at all, and at this time, they attack a planet full of bugs in order to expand their armaments, and the common people can't accept it.

……

"Anti-war marches? Hehe, well, then give you a reason to go to war! Speaker Barn listened to a member of parliament's report on the demonstrations from the rostrum of the Bundestag, while a sneer curled into his lips.

……

On the eleventh day after the setback of the landing on Alpha, an asteroid accurately bypassed various orbital defenses and accurately hit the Yorker in the Newton system!

Millions of interstellar immigrants were reduced to ashes overnight, and the relevant departments of the Earth Federation accurately calculated the trajectory of this asteroid half an hour after the incident. It's from the C9 star area of Perseus!

And the Alpha Star in the C9 star region of Perseus is the current battlefield between humans and the Zerg, and the federal government issued a broadcast to the entire Federation at the first time: The Zerg have declared war on humans!

In an instant, all anti-war demonstrations stopped, and ordinary people were the most easily fooled, and the amount of information they could receive was very limited, the most important of which was federal news.

Now the Zerg have launched an attack on humanity, using an asteroid to attack the human colony planet, and causing millions of deaths, which gives the Federation a reason to continue attacking Alpha, and at the same time makes the common people feel the same hatred.

In the past, these people were anti-war, mainly because the Zerg could not threaten them, so they didn't want their children to suffer this kind of senseless loss, but now, the Zerg began to attack, they easily killed millions of people, and when their own lives were also threatened, the common people became radical!

"Kill! Kill all those bugs! ”

"Defend the Federation! Join the army to fight the enemy! ”

……

In just one night, the people's anti-war sentiment has changed 180 degrees, and the various recruitment offices of the Federal Navy have become overcrowded, especially those young people who have not retreated, they even think that this is a provocation by the Zerg, so they even came to the recruitment office without telling their families, and then boarded the spaceship to the training camp.

"Smack!" A teacup was smashed to pieces.

"These demons! They are simply not human! More ferocious than bugs! General Cohen cursed loudly with red eyes!

He is the commander-in-chief of the Alpha Star front, no one knows more about Alpha than him, and even the entire C9 star sector, in recent times, there have been no asteroids flying out of here at all, and the C9 star sector is very far away from the attacked York, unless that asteroid can make a phase jump, or it has been set off since thirty years ago, it is impossible to hit York at this time!

"General!" The adjutant stopped talking behind General Cole's back.

"I can't let these demons continue...... General Cohen clenched his fists.

"But we can't make it......," said the adjutant with a sad expression.

"I know that our strength is too weak to shake this corrupt federation, but a spark can start a prairie fire, and I'm willing to be the one who ignites the fire!" General Cohen had a smile on his face, but tears in his eyes.

"General! Your subordinates will follow you to the death! The adjutant said with tears in his eyes, he knew that continuing to follow General Cohen would lead to a path of no return, but the charisma of the great man was like this, so that you knew that you were going to die, but you were willing to follow him.

"Thank you......" General Cohen said to the adjutant.

"It's my pleasure!" The adjutant saluted General Cohen.

"Let's send the signal out." General Cohen said with a deep breath.

"Yes!" The adjutant nodded, then walked over to the console of the USS Federation Glory.

A series of encrypted instructions were sent, it was transmitted to every corner of the Federation through relay stations at all levels of the Federation, whether it was a military platform, or a civilian platform, almost everyone could receive this message, but only people who knew the code could decipher the mystery, for others, it was just a chaotic radio wave, it may be an irregular signal sent by a pulsar, or it may be an electromagnetic fluctuation emitted when a certain aircraft is destroyed.

……

On the side of the Earth Federation, a large number of young people were sent to the boot camp, these young people who lack military literacy and only have one shot of enthusiasm are not qualified for technical troops, and after simple training, they will be issued with cheap equipment such as power exoskeletons and electromagnetic rifles, and become a glorious motorized infantryman, just like the Federation hero Qin Hao!

But for the motorized infantry, in addition to the aura brought by the heroic figure Qin Hao, it actually has a very vivid nickname - cannon fodder!

Battleships set off from all corners of the Federation and flew in the direction of the Alpha Star battlefield, they were all private soldiers raised by those families, and these fleets were tightly hidden by their families on weekdays, this time, after the abundant energy crystal resources on the Alpha Star were exposed, the various families were like vicious dogs competing for food, and sent out all their hidden private fleets.

For a while, the C9 star sector of Perseus became lively, the number of large and small human warships exceeded a thousand, and it was the first time in human history that a fleet of this size was assembled, and the gravity well of Alpha Star could not even accommodate so many warships stationed at the same time!
