Chapter 253: Undercurrents are surging

Mu Chen has always been a very assertive person, and he can be regarded as stable in his work, but this does not mean that his parents and sister will not worry about him.

The Space Force is a class with a high casualty rate, not only facing the growing forces of darkness, but also defending against the threat posed by Proxima Centauri. And Mu Chen's previous missions were all difficult, and several times he brushed shoulders with death, which broke his family's hearts for him.

Although Mu Chen retired from the Space Force, the family was still worried that he would go back.

Mushan came to chat with him in the middle of the night, ostensibly urging him to have a child with Laura as soon as possible, but in fact, he was also knocking on the side, hoping that he could settle down and stop doing such a dangerous job.

Counting up, it has been almost a year since he joined the Space Force, and Mu Chen is almost used to life on a battleship, and now that everything has calmed down, he is indeed a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, with Laura's company, Mu Chen can restrain the mania in her heart, but she has to grit her teeth and persist every day.

"I hope Xiaochen can accept this result soon." Makiyama closed the door and said with a long sigh.

……

Proxima Centauri came to the solar system, no matter what the purpose was, it was impossible for the Earth Federation to relax its vigilance, especially after seeing the technological level of the Proxima Centauri, everyone was full of fear of this group of advanced civilization aliens.

After the Reaper fleet returned to Earth, the Earth Federation began to have actions to strengthen the Space Force.

The most obvious is that the major fleets are massively expanding the recruitment of space warriors, and the combat and maintenance classes on space battleships have become a popular recruitment. Even rookies like Hou Ying and Richard, who have just entered the Space Force, have become sought-after, and even some students who have not yet graduated have been specially recruited to various fleets.

It is really difficult to agree with this kind of practice of eating food, the space fleet has high requirements for the crew, and those rookies are recruited into it, it is difficult to form combat effectiveness in a short period of time, but it will affect the daily operation of the battleship.

Mu Chen also learned from the news that the Earth Federation is planning to build a larger and stronger space battleship, and this new type of warship will be comparable to the Proxima Centauri super battleship in size and firepower deployment.

This makes Mu Chen even more headache, the Earth Federation is obviously making a stupid move, with the current level of human technology and manufacturing, even if it is modeled after Proxima Centauri's super warships, what use can it be? It's just a façade.

Many fleet commanders who have a good relationship have complained to Mu Chen about these things in the call, and the quality of the newly recruited crew members is obviously not as good as before, and it takes a lot of time to train and run-in, which greatly reduces the strength of the fleet.

And those new warships that are about to be put into service are also very worrying, this kind of warships are simply enlarged in size, equipped with some more laser cannons and particle beam cannons, and do not solve the power problem, and cannot sail long distances at all.

Mu Chen is not easy to express any opinions on these complaints, strictly speaking, he is no longer a member of the Space Force.

However, after Mu Chen retired from the Space Force, he became more popular in the circle of these space captains, after all, there was no entanglement of interests between them, and Mu Chen was one again

An outstanding commander, many captains regard him as a knowledgeable advisor, and always like to discuss some space force matters with him.

Mu Chen didn't feel troublesome, anyway, what he had now was time.

It's just that soon Mu Chen felt that something was wrong, the steps of the Earth Federation seemed to be too big, a new giant battleship that had just been produced had a malfunction during the sea trial, and the energy pool was overloaded and caused a fire, because most of the crew members were newcomers, and even the captain had no command experience, and the fire was not controlled in time, causing the battleship to crash in space, and a total of more than 20,000 people on the battleship were all killed, and none of them were spared.

What's worse is that in order to build up the confidence of the people, the Earth Federation also arranged a large number of media reporters to accompany the ship to cover the battleship, and when the battleship caught fire, these reporters broadcast everything that happened inside the battleship to the audience through the camera.

Countless people witnessed the whole process of this accident with their own eyes, which caused the reputation of the Earth Federation to suffer a huge blow in a short period of time.

The Federation Governor did not expect that he wanted to get more political chips through this giant warship, but he shot himself in the foot.

Not long after the accident, the chief public apologized at a press conference, claiming that the federal government's mistakes led to the tragedy, and resigned.

Mu Chen didn't expect this chief to end up like this, although he didn't gloat, he didn't have any sympathy.

The head of the federation is out of class, and the anger of the people is temporarily suppressed, but the Earth Federation cannot be left without a master for a day, and a new head of the Federation must be elected.

If it had been any time before, the various member states would have fought for this position long ago. But in the current situation, the position of the chief is a hot potato, and sitting on that position is like sitting on a volcanic crater, and no one wants to take over.

At the same time, the negative (river crab) news of the Earth Federation was also constantly exposed, and for a time the public had unprecedented doubts about this joint body of various countries.

People didn't expect that behind the glamour, there were so many shady and decaying scenes, and even the former chief minister who voluntarily left office was once again taken out to make a fuss, and the negative (river crab) news around him emerged in an endless stream, and the federal arbitration institutions began to intervene in the investigation, as long as an investigation is implemented, the former federal chief is afraid that the former federal chief will have to spend the rest of his life in prison.

Among the many accusations made by the arbitration body against the former federal governor, one has something to do with Mu Chen.

It was the previous mission of the Reaper fleet, and there was evidence that there was an unknown deal behind it, most likely a well-planned murder, and the target of the murder was General Mu Chen, who had just retired from the army.

As soon as this news came out, all netizens were boiling, and all kinds of speculations appeared on Tianwang, Western conspiracy theories and Chinese threat theories became hot topics again, and Mu Chen was also portrayed as a victim of persecution and became the object of public sympathy.

The various member states of the Earth Federation have also begun to have their own careful thoughts, after all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the current Earth Federation is probably only an empty shell, and it will not be long before it will fall apart, and getting out in time is the right choice.

For a while, there was an undercurrent, and every member state tried to grab the last value from this fallen giant, but no one was willing to take the initiative to take responsibility and help the Earth Federation tide over.

In fact, the relationship between countries is like the relationship between neighbors in an ordinary community, everyone will try their best to protect their own interests, and most of them will not care too much about the affairs of their neighbors.

The Earth Federation is like the management committee of this community, which plays the role of mediating conflicts and avoiding disputes, and uniting everyone to do something big together.

But now that the edifice of the Commission is about to collapse, the cooperative relationship between the various member states will be in name only, and this will be a disaster for all of humanity.

Although the Earth Federation has been constantly criticized, no one can deny its great role.

Take the formation of the Space Force as an example, the value of each space battleship is extremely amazing, the manufacturing cost of any space frigate is as high as hundreds of billions of star coins, and Mu Chen's space carrier is worth at least trillions of star coins, not counting the research and development costs in the early stage.

It can be said that no country is capable of forming a space fleet on its own.

The reason why the Earth Federation was able to have its own space fleet, and more than one space fleet, was because it concentrated the forces of all member countries and integrated all resources and technologies to successfully build those warships, and even had the ability to continue to develop space weapons with more warships.

But once the Earth Federation disintegrates, this cooperation will be dissolved immediately, and it is probably just wishful thinking to form another space fleet.

This situation is extremely unfavorable for the earthlings, but the leaders of various countries don't care about these at all, they just want to bite off one more piece of meat from the Earth Federation, so that they can bring back more benefits to their own countries and consolidate their positions well.

Just when the Earth Federation is going downhill, the dark forces that have been lurking in all corners of the solar system are gradually rising.

The current situation is a once-in-a-century opportunity for the dark forces, the strength of the Earth Federation's space forces has declined, and there are problems with management, so there is no flawless care to guard against them.

As a representative of the dark forces, the witch Monica took advantage of this opportunity to grab the high-end technology of the Earth Federation, and gathered a lot of talents, and her strength has been rapidly improved in a short period of time.

Even the meteorological transformation technology that Mu Chen brought back from the planet Europa for nine lifetimes finally fell into Monica's hands.

The giant of the Earth Federation is about to fall, and this has the greatest impact on the general public, riots have occurred in many countries, angry people have lost confidence in the government, and the poor in the middle and lower strata of society have also begun to resist the citizen hierarchy established by the Earth Federation in an organized manner, demanding that they be treated as they deserve.

At a time when the people of the earth are surrounded by powerful enemies, serious civil strife breaks out, the social order is destroyed, the credibility of the government is lost, and criminal acts can be seen everywhere.

As a melon-eating crowd, although Mu Chen is very anxious about such a thing, he still has the mentality of watching the excitement. Anyway, it doesn't have much impact on my family, so why do you care so much?
