Prologue: Invitation

For the inhabitants of this parallel universe, this recent year is destined to be remembered by history and written about in a big way.

If the "Fall of the Nine Prisons" at the end of 2218 is only a prelude to a few people know, then the "Eastern European Fire" campaign that followed in early February 2219 and the "Iron Curtain Flame" massacre that ended the campaign on March 29 are a good scene led by the Federation.

However, as with most four-act plays, by the third act the plot takes a big turn.

Sure enough, on May 31, 2219, a trial later known as the "Last Feast of the Union" changed everything.

That night, under the leadership of Raymond Fox, former federal undercover agent Mahaus Prato stepped onto the witness stand of the federal court in The Hague, and the two men announced in front of countless viewers around the world that the Iron Curtain was the result of the massive and indiscriminate bombing campaign that killed tens of thousands of rebels, federal troops, and innocent civilians by the Federation itself.

This case is obviously not the kind of situation that can be easily denied by labeling "conspiracy theories" or "slander".

Because long before this trial, various conspiracy theories had been circulating on the Internet, many of which were published by the federal information services themselves; They deliberately put a lot of flawed fake conspiracy theories to confuse the public, so that the grieving and angry people will become disgusted with such theories, so that those conspiracy theories that are close to the truth will also lose attention and support.

However, the revelation on May 31 is not at all a level compared to those rumors on the Internet.

Among the evidence Prato brought with him were his own identification documents, the identification documents of all federal sleepers, and every shady federal transaction and action over the past few decades.

During the live broadcast of the trial, all these things were published on the Internet, placed on almost all public platforms and private network disks, and anyone could click to view or download them at will.

The contents of the file are unbelievable and detailed, ranging from large-scale incidents to criminal offenses involving only individuals: for example, federal officials illegally opening chemical plants for political performance, resulting in a large number of deformed newborns and cancer patients in a certain area within a few years, and finally covering up the data in many ways, and even intimidating and assassinating people in the know; There are also cases where an official rapes and kills a girl on behalf of the N generation to cover up the evidence through layers of relationships and make it a headless public case.

Although these things are not directly related to the truth of the "Iron Curtain", there is always a kind of inertia in people's thinking - when you mix a false word in a thousand truths, people will feel that the fake is also true.

In the same way, when the reverse cross exposed countless pieces of verifiable black material to the people, whether it was the Iron Curtain Flame or the Bronze Curtain Flame, as long as it was exposed together, even if there was no evidence, people would assume that it was true.

So is there evidence for everything else? Most of them do, because there are still countless witnesses and countless victims in these countless events, who may have been blinded, silenced, and sent away at that time or ...... But when you put the whole truth in front of them, they will understand in an instant what they were going through.

On the other hand, in addition to the materials that broke out in Prato, Raymond also made a lot of "corroboration" from official channels, that is, the Federal Ministry of Justice, and also posted it on the Internet in public form...... After all, there have been a lot of high-level federal officials and their relevant stakeholders who have been exonerated through legal channels over the years, and it is not difficult to collect such information.

To make a long story short, in the end of the trial, in fact, the "Iron Curtain Flame" can only be regarded as a fuse, and the documents in the hands of Raymond and Prato that record the evil deeds of the Federation against the people are the real "fire".

The social contradictions that had accumulated for decades and generations, and were associated with almost every commoner-class citizen of the Commonwealth, finally erupted at one point.

After that day, the boiling public opinion began to ferment with some radical actions......

To this extent, the federal media's control and cover-up after the fact is not only useless, but also counterproductive.

Protests, demonstrations, rallies, armed resistance...... Such incidents have sprung up around the world and are likely to intensify.

The rebels that survived under the protection of the Cross—the Predators, the Cossacks, etc.—all took the opportunity to resurface; They have suddenly turned from street rats to heroes who are loved by the people.

In this favorable situation of national indignation, the scale of these organizations grew rapidly within ten months, absorbing a large number of civilian armed forces and even rebel forces of the federal army, and in less than two months they conquered a large area of territory; The Berber Soul, with a new leader, also responded to the call of the reverse cross in the African theater and advanced from North Africa to the south; In the previous battle, the Dragon County Resistance Organization "Yashan", which had barely suffered any vitality, finally rose up in August, connecting with the Eastern European battlefield.

By mid-October, the whole world was already in full swing, and except for Western Europe, where the federal power was most stable, there were cases everywhere where the middle and low-level generals of the federal army led soldiers to revolt and defect, or even directly killed the commanders and seized power.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that today's federal ...... The general trend is gone, and the defeat is decided.

Three months at a time, six months at a slower, and the federal government that has ruled the world for more than a century will be retired.

Now, it's almost time for the new forces to divide the cake......

It was also at this time that the Reverse Cross sent an invitation to all the leaders of the global resistance groups, inviting them to attend a meeting on the east coast of Star County on November 1, saying that the Reverse Cross "had important matters to discuss".

Move...... It seems to be announcing that the "end" of this old era is about to be staged.
