Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Past Is Over
"This is the Nuwa space carrier, and I am Wei Ran, the commander of the battleship. The front-line combat units were all wiped out, all the defenders of Pingzu Pass were killed, and there were no allied troops behind me. ”
"Repeat, behind me, there are no allies!"
The Blue Domain Fleet, which is guarding the mouth of the "Boundary River", is looking forward to the good news of victory on the front line. However, the long wait of more than 10 days was exchanged for the news that the entire army was annihilated.
"Pass the fleet, give way to the Nuwa. As soon as the battleship came in, it was blocked. ”
The Nuwa, which was moving at high speed, did not slow down until it entered the pass. The Camon fleet, which was chasing behind, slowed down significantly, and began to change energy far beyond the aiming range of the pass fleet.
The narrow part of the narrow channel of the Jiehe River is narrower than the Pingzu Pass, and the garrison guarding here vaguely remembers the widening of the gate a few months ago in order to welcome the passage of the Nuwa.
People still clearly remember how many warriors' lofty ambitions were aroused by the glossy appearance and giant physique of this super-giant space carrier when it slowly passed through the Pearl Harbor.
Now, when this battleship, which is regarded as a masterpiece in the hearts of many people, fled into the Pearl Harbor in a hurry, the shell full of holes replaced the light of the past, and the holes on the wings of the saucer were shocked by missiles. If it weren't for the exact size and call sign of the battleship, no one would believe that this was the same giant battleship that had passed here a few months ago.
Along with the giant warship, it was the people's belief in victory that fell to the altar together.
Blue Domain Home Star, in the midst of people's anxious waiting through the autumn water, the news of the front line finally came back.
The first message was encrypted and sent by Yuan Tianshu before his death: The Blue Domain Expeditionary Force has been wiped out!
From Huo Qimeng, to the directors at all levels, to the whole public, no one wants to believe the authenticity of this news. Although the army was defeated like a mountain in such a large-scale march, it was not impossible to withdraw a single battleship. Even if the whole army is really annihilated, it will not even be too late to send complete operational information and the reasons for the defeat.
"This must be a trick by the Kamon people to disturb the morale of the army!" -- In the program, military experts conducted a detailed analysis and demonstration through the comparison of troops, science and technology, and energy combined with the historical experience of the battle with Carmon, and came to such a convincing conclusion.
"Waiting for the next news to come back, it may be good news."
People have comforted themselves in this way, trying to get rid of those negative emotions, and hinting again and again that they should not believe the bad news rumors.
Along with the conclusions of analysis and argumentation, there are also rumors and rumors. There were rumors that the commander-in-chief rebelled and the whole army defected to Gokhamon; There are rumors that Carmon has actually been occupied, but Yuan Tianji and others have made the second Dewey and set himself up as king in the alien planet; The most credible rumor is that the annihilation of the whole army really happened, but he dragged all Kamon to be buried with him.
Every rumor is well-founded, the time, place, and people are clearly explained, and the causes, processes, and results are interlocking, so that people don't know which one to believe.
As a result, people can only continue to wait, as long as they can wait for the next piece of information to come back, all the rumors will be destroyed.
The second piece of information is indeed to refute the rumor that "the whole army has been annihilated". Because, this message was sent by the battleship "Nuwa" from Pingzu Pass. However, what people read is something more terrible than "total annihilation": "The fleet that invaded Kamon was killed except for the people on the Nuwa. But the battleship was not sunk, but captured by the Carmonites! ”
Along with the intelligence, there was also a large amount of operational data recorded in the command system of the Nuwa. The instructions in the communicator, the sounds of fighting and screaming on the battleship, the shelling of ray guns, airships, and battleships, as well as the final death of General Murray, the last plunder of Zeng Yuquan, and the last taunt of Rykov.
Although there is no video footage, these data are enough to show the battle situation of the day in front of everyone. Huo Qimeng is still thinking about how to distort and fabricate part of the story on the basis of established facts, so as to shirk the responsibility for the defeat. But before he could think of a countermeasure, the news from the front line spread again, and overnight, those data were made public.
Huo Qimeng, who was furious, actually fired all the people in charge of the news center system for no reason, and replaced them with his own people and began to control public opinion.
After this action of wanting to cover up, he appropriately led the spearhead of public opinion to himself. First of all, the unfortunate ones were those members of the "Soul Guard" who stood in front of the voting machine in the "Great Anti-Rebellion" movement, these speculative and upside-down elements who rose up with a wave of fanaticism, and a few months ago they were still confiscating this person's soul and confiscating that person's soul at every turn, they did not expect that retribution would come so quickly, and these people who trampled on their lives by virtue of the classic practice of "the law does not hold the people accountable" finally trampled on the soles of their feet by another group of people who were protected by the practice of "the law does not hold the people accountable" in just a few months, trampled wantonly.
"What a big rebellion, I think it's all a trick to trick us into voting to send troops in order to build up his great achievements!"
"It's not just about great things? If you look back and think about what happened before, the case of the Führer's father's murder and the death of the former director of science and technology. He's simply a murderer. The so-called war is nothing more than a pretext for him to regain power. For this excuse, he did not hesitate to drag the entire civilization to accompany the funeral. ”
"Yes, yes. And that hateful Zeng Yuquan, shouldn't he have died in Gaia a long time ago, why did he appear in the war again. actually killed the wise and loyal Chairman Yuan. ”
It's not that the group has no memories, it's just that these memories, once remembered and recalled by the group, will eventually go down in history!
The people of the Blue Regions recalled over and over again the ins and outs of the march to Carmon. From the "Great Rebellion" incident, to the "Three Strange Cases", to the incident of the Führer being forcibly elevated. The reason for the switch between the "blockade and camun strategy" and the "invasion of the Camun strategy" has been recalled, and the independence of Gaia, the antimatter planetary hijacking, and the death of the general of the sea have been recalled.
It was only then that the root cause of the failure was found: the abolition of the "Nirvana Plan"!
Huo Qimeng's support rate once again broke the record of the head of state and dropped to the lowest, this time, it was directly 0, which is unparalleled. For Huo Qimeng, what is more threatening than his approval rating is the assassination again and again.
The Führer's Mansion is no longer a safe location, starting from a dense underground military point in Zhongdu Province, through the military underground transportation pipe network, Huo Qimeng hides in the edge of the cold polar region, in an unknown underground cave.
Even so, there are still cases of people transporting food poisoning, cleaning staff assassinations, and servants leaking information, the most dangerous one is that the guards standing guard at the gate suddenly rebelled and rushed to Huo Qimeng with their guns raised. Fortunately, there was a stealth guardian next to him who blocked the ray gun.
Once an individual is convinced to be the public enemy of the whole race, all loyalty, prestige, and conviction applicable to that individual are devalued for nothing.
Huo Qimeng hid for less than three days, and the people of the whole mother planet knew his whereabouts, and the underground pipe network dedicated to transporting military facilities was breached, and the people who poured in under the banner of "eliminating harm for civilization" poured in from the passages of all latitudes under the obstruction of the guards and defenders.
Huo Qimeng, who couldn't sleep at night, seemed to have heard the cries of the people who came to take revenge, but he hadn't waited for it to really hear it. An invisible guardian beside him mutinied, and with a single shot of the ray gun, he solved the Führer's cheating life.
The past is gone, and the anger of the riot has slowly subsided with Huo Qimeng's death. The entire Blue Domain home planet was quiet for a day and a night, from the high-level directors to the common people, everyone was thinking about the future direction of civilization. People want to break their heads, overdraw all their intelligence, and can't think of any way to do it.
The starship from Gaia landed slowly, breaking the pre-dawn silence and attracting the attention of those who were meditating. As soon as Alia and the others arrived at the entrance of the hanging staircase, they felt a strange quiet atmosphere. The crowd of people who came to welcome them formed a long line that stretched all the way to the end of the Avenue of Heaven and Man, but there were no flowers and no applause. For these ecologists, people just stare, their eyes full of helplessness. Look up to the ecologists who came to their aid, as if looking up to their savior. Arya stood on top of the hanging ladder, greeting everyone's attention, and for a while, he was at a loss.
"The front line is defeated! This planet is about to be destroyed. ”
After checking the communication message, the captain finally figured out the truth and reminded Alia softly. Elia slowly disembarked, and the "Array Welcome" people volunteered to get out of the way, allowing the beloved biologist to move slowly. The development of the home planet is changing with each passing day, the surrounding buildings are more sci-fi than before they left, the Avenue of Heaven and Man is smoother than before, stepping on it, the special gelatinous material ensures absolute smoothness at the same time, its hardness and friction are also tuned to the optimal state, Alia fantasizes, the kind of vehicle called "car" is driving, and the sense of control is definitely several times higher than before.
But all this progress seems to the helpless people in front of them like useless garbage. As far as the eye can see, it looks as if the whole world has just been hit by a hurricane. The smooth roads are covered with banners, flags, clothes, and neat buildings, which are shockingly sprayed with the words "Down with Huo Qimeng" and "Civilized Scum".
Arya didn't know what to say, just walked slowly, carrying those scientific research results and the ecological resources from Gaia, and rushed to the ecological research center.
It was only then that fellow Gaia people were recalled. Recalling the actions of Dewey and Hanes, and recalling that there was once a scientist who was not good at words, he once said, "The Carmon people are not completely evolved inferior creatures, but higher creatures than us." "Orcs and bugmen may be two races" "According to the records of the Carmon people, there is a weapon called Skylight that played a great role in the last battle between gods and demons (suspected interstellar war)".
It is also recalled that there was a pioneer captain who, against the wishes of all the people of the entire civilization, decided to transport the antimatter planet to Gaia; The same captain exchanged the Camon star map he desperately obtained for the life of a scientist; It was still the captain of the ship, regardless of everyone's opposition, and with a lot of infamy, he resolutely split Gaia from the allies of the three world alliances of stars, ships, and mines, and the process was legal, and there was no military conflict!
It suddenly became clear that these two people, who had been portrayed as traitors to civilization, had long thought that such a day might come. Everything that has been done is nothing more than to ensure that if this day really comes, if the strategic plan to invade Carmon really fails, civilization will not be completely lost, and there is no power to resist.
"Huo Qimeng is dead, and the new head of state should be established. The past is gone, the past is not to blame, looking to the future, the mother planet is now urgent to have a leader to take us to resist! It was the only thing Arya could say to the crowd, she just thought the home planet should do it now.
And everyone who heard this, looked at it, in the entire Blue Domain Galaxy, who else could see clearly and see the long term than the bandit who had hijacked an antimatter planet?
