Chapter 446: Escalation

Explosions came in waves, the flames rising rapidly like cascading waves emptied in a stormy sea, and large masses of steel wreckage flew in all directions like projectiles shot from a railgun.

The space station was like a steel-armored beast that burst its belly, wrapped in flames, melted by high temperatures, torn apart by shockwaves, and finally, accompanied by a dazzling storm of light, the entire building fell apart, and after ejecting all the objects that could be ejected, it was completely reduced to a huge steel graveyard, rushing to the distant warp interceptor array with the flames that heralded death.

Zheng Hongxuan looked at the tragic scene on the big screen on the bridge with a pale face, and his body trembled.

It wasn't that he was afraid, it was because the floor was shaking slightly, and the metal shards ejected from the explosion of the space station were bombarding the surface of the battleship at extremely high speeds, disrupting the balance of the ship.

The intelligence officer reported that several ships had suffered damage of various ranges, but fortunately, there were no casualties.

Zheng Hongxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then sighed again.

He was relieved because most of the base garrison had withdrawn and the battleship had not been damaged. Sigh because these terrorists are so speechless that they don't even care about their own lives.

With all the Covenant naval warships evacuated safely, and no aircraft left during the explosion of the space station, one can imagine what will happen to those 60 terrorists.

Zheng Hongxuan didn't know that the culprit who blew up the space station was not killed in the fire, and at this moment, the captain of the Morningstar was hiding in the food storage room of a destroyer, stuffing chocolates into his mouth one by one.

He has never wronged himself, since it is something from the Star Alliance government, if he doesn't eat it for nothing, he won't eat it, who told them to take 40 billion from his account, this qiē is all their own thing, even if it's chocolate...... It's not really worth a few bucks......

…………

No one thought of it. Not long after the accident of "Karno", a sub-base of the Star Covenant Navy was once again attacked by terrorists, who were even more unlucky than Eisenhower. The entire space station was blown up.

Of course, "Karno" has 190 billion worth of immortals in storage. It's not comparable to a one-size space station at all.

These terrorists are just too rampant, this is simply a provocation, a provocation to the entire Hillenbuir region!

Public opinion was in an uproar, and I don't know who threw out the title of "Brotherhood", and in just one or two efforts, it spread throughout the entire territory of the Star Alliance, and even the people belonging to the Silver Eagle Regiment and the Phoenix Empire have heard of it.

No one, no organization, claimed responsibility for the matter, and even the Third Committee Pirates, who had always acted in a flamboyant manner, were a rare act of silence. No views were expressed on the matter.

The Covenant was furious, but it cleared their suspicions.

As a result, the smell of gunpowder in "Babylon" weakened and tended to dissipate.

However, just when the situation was gradually easing, a post suddenly appeared on a well-known military forum of "Babylon." The poster is shown as "anonymous", but no one cares about that, everyone cares about the content of the post.

The post was full of pictures and texts, and according to the details of the terrorist attack disclosed by the Star Alliance official to the media, the poster pointed out a serious suspicion. Although the masked men who attacked the space station were dressed exactly the same as they were during the previous two terrorist attacks, they were very different in detail.

The poster pointed out that the combat gestures used by the terrorists during the operation were very similar to those used by the Monyadi** team. Moreover, although the weapons they use are also made by the Charles Federation, they are different from the ones stolen by the Phoenix Empire in some details.

And also...... The terrorists who attacked "Karno" and "Ankalim" have a characteristic, they are extremely similar in height, size, and mode of action, but the group of people who attacked the Covenant naval base are different, even if they have tried to cover up, they appear very stiff, and if you look closely, you can find the difference between the individuals in the picture.

In summary, the poster believes that this group of fanatics is not the terrorists who attacked "Karno" and "Ankalim". It's an imposter!

As soon as this post appeared, it immediately caused an uproar on the Internet. Rumors swirled directly at Ambassador Eisenhower.

After the post content prompt. Someone with a heart carefully screened it, and sure enough, they found that there was a cat hidden in it.

The people suddenly woke up to the fact that Eisenhower was really calculating!

As we all know, because there is no conclusive evidence that the "Brotherhood" is related to the Star Alliance, the final result of the attack on the "Karno" space station will definitely be inconclusive.

If you think about it from Eisenhower's standpoint, since it is believed that it was the Star Alliance government, will he give up and bow his head and admit it?

Aristocrats have always been arrogant, but at some point, this arrogance can turn into arrogance.

Therefore, Eisenhower, who was unwilling to be dormant, carefully planned such a counterattack against the Covenant government, and did not hesitate to use the spies who had been hidden in the "Babylon" border guards for many years, disguised as members of the "Brotherhood", to carry out terrorist attacks on the Covenant naval base.

And the Star Alliance officials will definitely not seriously investigate, because the experience of "Ankalim" and "Karno" will definitely subconsciously rely on the "Brotherhood" for this terrorist attack, not to mention that this will bring a turning point to the turbulent situation of "Babylon", and the Star Alliance government will wash away the stigma on its head.

In other words, the Covenant government has suffered a dumb loss, and it is still grateful, thank the "Brotherhood" for helping them clear their suspicions, and take a step back, even if the Covenant government finds out that this matter is not the "Brotherhood", I am afraid that it will be selectively blind, and those terrorists have died out, and there is no proof of death, which is destined to become a headless public case.

is worthy of being the diplomatic ambassador sent by the Monya Empire to a place like "Babylon", and he is really smart and cunning enough!

"Babylon" once again set off a wave of public opinion, and Eisenhower replaced the Covenant government and was pushed to the edge of the sword, so that the Covenant government, which was originally glad to be out of the quagmire, was once again kidnapped by public opinion, and had no choice but to make solemn representations to Eisenhower.

The Federation of Charles and the Republic of Dolanx also took the opportunity to fan the flames behind their backs in order to intensify the contradictions between the two countries.

Eisenhower was at a loss for words. He was very wronged, he was really wronged, what did the terrorist attack on the Star Covenant naval base do to him? The mess of "Karno" has not yet been cleaned up. Where does he have the energy to plan a counterattack?

In the initial stage of the fermentation of public opinion turmoil, he still wants to explain. to clarify, but under the impetus of the Charles Federation, the Republic of Dolanx, and an invisible hand, it is simply getting darker and darker.

Later, he simply stopped defending himself, but tracked down the anonymous user who first posted and slandered him through the secret channels that the Guò Monya Empire had set up in "Babylon" for so many years.

Then, at once, he came to his senses, and suddenly he realized that he was furious.

The identity of the anonymous user is unknown, but it can be traced backwards. However, it was discovered that the landing place was the Star Alliance Naval Command.

In the end, through the special channels of the navy, this spearhead went to the deputy commander's office, and its owner was none other than Temple Tempel, the deputy commander of the Star Alliance Navy who loved the more truthful? Lieutenant General Griffin.

Griffin has the motivation and ability to do so, which is more in line with his character of loving and reciprocating!

Combat gestures in line with the Monya Empire? Stiff movements of the members? An old model of Charles Federal weapons? It's all fart! Fart! Based on this, it is determined that the Monya Empire did it? This is simply slander.

The sign language of today's combat troops is inherited from the period of earth civilization, and the same Cheng dù is very high; Who stipulates that members of the "brotherhood" must have the same height and the same body type? And the old models of Charles Federal Arms Market are even more up-and-coming. It's definitely a rag that sells when you give money.

Just because he accused the Covenant government of being related to the "Brotherhood", the Covenant Navy used the excuse to blame the Monya Empire for the attack on the base. It's just too deceitful!

Thinking of this, Eisenhower almost crushed his back molars, wishing he could kill Temple as the culprit with one shot. But then, he suddenly thought of another possibility, and couldn't help but shiver.

If the "attack on the naval base" is a scene that the Star Alliance officially wrote, directed, and acted in...... That would be terrible, because this can not only divert the attention of public opinion and let the Star Alliance go ashore safely from the cusp of the storm, but also make a rake and bring the water back to the water.

As for the evidence...... Why did 10 out of 10 of the garrison soldiers die when "Karno" was attacked? And the entire space station was blown up on the Covenant naval side, but the casualties were few?

Originally, the Star Alliance wanted to calm the pressure caused by the two terrorist attacks of "Ankalim" and "Karno". It is necessary to give the nations some sweetness to taste.

And this so-called "some sweetness" must be higher than a one-type space station. Sacrificing a space station in exchange for a big reversal of the situation, and not having to be seized by the hostile parties in the parliament to "take care of people's lives", smart! It's really brilliant!

Eisenhower hated itchy, but he was helpless, even if he went out, how many people believed these inferences? "Babylon" is the territory of the Star Alliance, and they have seized the opportunity, and they do not hesitate to use bitter tricks.

As a result, the misunderstanding between Monya and the Star Alliance snowballed in the smart brains of high-level officials, and the tension in "Babylon" continued to escalate, and finally even the top level of the country was involved, so that the relationship between the Monya Empire and the Star Alliance fell to a historical freezing point.

Of course, the shadow of the Charles Federation and the Republic of Dorlanx, they may not be the real murderers, but they can really be regarded as qualified accomplices, and the kung fu of sprinkling salt on the wound can be said to be the peak, taking advantage of the current good opportunity to set off a vigorous crusade of public opinion, such as: the accusation of the current situation of the Monya Empire, the denunciation of the human trafficking phenomenon of the stronghold forces belonging to the Monya, and the prostitution of the officials of the "Karno" embassy. Lodge. Young. Female, who likes to spit on alternative services such as human life......

Some neutral organizations have been indifferent, while a few sharp-minded people have begun to analyze the big picture.

From the "Ankalim" terrorist attack, to the "Somar" auction turmoil, to the outbreak of the "Karno" epidemic, to the Star Alliance naval base incident...... This qiē is like an invisible hand secretly fueling the flames, making this political storm that swept the entire territory of "Babylon" more and more intense.

Although many people understood the mystery behind the incident and knew that there was a hidden demon who was coldly watching the situation in "Babylon", no one linked this matter to Captain Tang Fang.

Because the captain who loves to drill the tip of the horns, admit death, and do not hit the south wall and never look back, is still struggling with those people in the tax bureau, he has a lot of pride in drilling a hole in the bulletproof glass on the office window without looking, and he will never give up.

And the Morningstar was honestly parked on the dock of the battleship outside the Twelfth Planet, as motionless as a stone sculpture.

40 billion is gone. Who doesn't have pain on their bodies? Therefore, Captain Tang's table is really very ordinary.

There is only one person who does not think so, she is a woman. Her name is Charlotte? Quinn, she also has another title, the Galactic Enchantress.

How chaotic the situation of "Babylon" was. No matter how treacherous it was, she didn't care, her eyes kept on the "Tang Fang" in the rest area of the administrative hall of the tax bureau, and then smiled......

This time her smile was different, not with kindness, not with a polite smile, not with a smile to vent her inner joy, but as if she had seen something interesting. In the face of novelty, I can't help but laugh.

Just like a baby who has just woken up and is still confused, seeing the wind chimes under the eaves blown by the autumn wind, some puzzled, some happy, and a little "I want to ......"

Alexia looked at her blankly as if she had met Charlotte for the first time, almost forgetting to hand over the itinerary in her hand.

In fact, logically speaking, in addition to the Galaxy Demon Queen, there should be another person who feels strange, but for various reasons, he doesn't know Tang Fang's recent situation.

…………

The conflict between Eisenhower and the "Babylon" leadership intensified, and the stronghold forces of the Monya Empire were ready to move in the Covenant border area. Mackintosh, the 6th son of Kirclough I? Stewart urgently dispatched a group of warships from the star system close to the Sulu Empire to form a combined fleet and deploy millions of troops on the border between Monya and the Star Alliance.

Mengya began to exert pressure, and the idea of the top of the empire was simple. "Karno" is the second embassy and consulate set up by the Monya Empire in the territory of the Star Alliance, but now it has been raided by a group of terrorists and killed so many guards, the Star Alliance government cannot escape the responsibility of poor protection, and must give them an explanation.

It is true that the shape of the Gampner theater is not very optimistic, and the scale of the war is getting bigger and bigger, but this does not mean that the Monya Empire will swallow its anger and allow a low-power country to survive in the gap between the countries to be humiliated.

Meanwhile. The Federation of Charles and the Republic of Dolanx, hearing this, also moved to increase the number of troops in the remote areas bordering the Star Alliance.

The smell of gunpowder is getting stronger and stronger along the border. Naturally, "Babylon", the starting point of the storm, is even more unstable, although it has not yet reached the point where everyone is in danger. But he also had a different color on his face, and he was terrified.

Under such a general trend, Wright, the ambassador of the Sulu Empire, who auctioned the transport plane at a high price of 600 billion? Peters began to lose his seat, the immortal of "Karno" was stolen, the situation of "Babylon" changed abruptly, and the situation was unstable, will it be his turn to be on the "Minor" space station next?

Since the "Brotherhood" has the intention to rob the immortals, it is naturally impossible not to be unmoved by the 600 billion high-priced transport plane, coupled with the urgency of the Star Alliance's border line, adding another fire to the already unpeaceful situation, he has no patience to wait for the arrival of the Sulu Empire's escort fleet, and he also knows that at the moment when the Mengya Empire is stationed at the border, it is impossible for the Star Alliance to casually let the Sulu Empire's fleet enter, even if it is just a regular fleet.

Wright? As the ambassador of the Sulu Empire to "Babylon", Peters is naturally not a stupid person, he played a trick of the old maze, on the surface, with more than 100 warships belonging to the embassy and consulate as the core of the escort team, and hired 2 large security fleets, nearly 1,000 warships escorted the "transport plane" to the Sulu Empire, but secretly, he mixed the real transport plane into the transport fleet of a freight company called "Kramond Group" in the United Kingdom of Tulanx to hide people's eyes. Quietly transported to the secret stronghold cultivated by the Sulu Empire in the territory of the Star Alliance.

According to his estimates, if the transport fleet is smooth, the convoy will arrive at the Covenant border area after 28, and then rendezvous with the receiving fleet that has been arranged long ago, and then safely transfer the transport plane out of the country.

Wright? Peters played a good game of "Ming Xiu Plank Road Dark Chen Cang", and almost everyone focused on the escort team composed of nearly a thousand warships, thus ignoring the unknown ordinary transport team of the United Kingdom of Turanks, which was only escorted by 160 warships.

Except for one person! A person who should have persevered and fought with the "hanging garden" tax officials!

…………

Six days later, in the invisible virtual space-time channel at the edge of the "Knaru" star system, a convoy of more than 100 ships was jumping towards the United Kingdom of Tulanx at a warp speed level of 5.8.

Taote? Kidd is a retired military officer who has been in the United Kingdom of Tulanx for several years and is a well-known cargo ship pilot in the Clarmond Group's transport fleet.

No one knew that he had another identity, besides the pilot of the cargo ship, as a spy of the Sulu Empire who had penetrated into the United Kingdom of Tulanx.

According to Wright? Peters' order, this is the last mission of his spy team, as long as the transport plane is safely escorted back home, he can live the rest of his life without worrying about food and clothing. To be continued

ps: At the end of the month, I asked for a reward, and 2 chapters of 10,000 words broke out, so it's not too much to ask for a reward
