Chapter 175: War Breaks Out
The war came faster than imagined, just after Ji Baiyan, who was elected as the commander-in-chief, announced a full-scale attack, the military regions began to implement the battle plan, of course, before that, the previous military commander Ji Changrui also made a rare appearance to cheer up, so the soldiers of the military region made a lot of effort and vowed to overturn the Zerg.
When the war started, some people were happy and some were worried, and the worries were naturally the residents close to the front line, who were afraid that their homes would be affected, and the businessmen were happy, and the people's enthusiasm for the consumption of daily necessities and weapons was high, such as the rice and other crops planted on the planet Yaotian were sold out, and the herbs used to produce repairs and various medical agents were in short supply.
Ling Xiyao despised his hanging appearance on his face, and his heart was also happy, Yaotian was equivalent to her ATM, the better the income, the more money she could withdraw, although she was not so short of money now, but the more the merrier. She finally stayed in Yaotian, Ji Song invited Ji Wenjin to give a lecture, but the latter obviously didn't stand on the same line with him, and after telling her to pay attention to safety, she didn't follow, and Ji Song was angry, so she simply left it alone.
The recruitment of the Yaotian Escort Team is nearing completion, and a special training base has been set up not far from the residential area, and the high-pitched slogans of men and women can be heard from afar. Next to the training base, a two-story metal hug stands quietly, which is the most "luxurious" building on the planet Yaotian, because it has two floors, and this is the newly established command and control center.
Ling Xiyao likes to stay here and pay attention to the latest developments in the war around the Federation, in general, the situation is relatively optimistic about mankind, and the military's good news is frequent, but unlike the short and dangerous war in the 102nd Military Region, this war is fought more rhythmically, steadily approaching, and gradually consuming the strength of the other party.
Just when people thought that victory was in sight, the online media suddenly broke the news of many Zerg riots and military defeats, and the news was also annotated with very real videos and pictures, in which the new warship, which was regarded as the Zerg killer, was easily besieged and annihilated by the Zerg. The people of the Federation were confused for a while, what the hell is going on? Rumors demanded explanations, and the online media did not let everyone wait too long, and wave after wave of fierce news followed, the general content is that military officials are corrupt, not to mention embezzling military funds, but also taking the opportunity to accumulate money, colluding with suppliers, shoddy and so on.
It can be said how majestic the military was before, and how embarrassed it is now, if it weren't for the fact that the front line was too dangerous, the people would have run over and throw vegetable leaves in their faces, and of course, a few media came out to clarify, but when public opinion was one-sided, no one listened to the voices of these people. When the crowd was angry, the military's reaction was very official, saying that it was investigating the Zerg riot and related ** matters, calling on all parties to remain calm, hoping that the people would believe the military, and of course the people would not buy such remarks.
"Don't you think it's too strange to happen?" Ling Xiyao touched her chin in contemplation, it was really unusual for the military, which held a lot of power, to tolerate media smearing.
"Let's see, there should be more exciting ones to come." Ji Wu made a fool of himself.
As the war tightened and news of the military's retreat continued to come, the people began to despair, and even the news of the victory of some military districts published on the official website of the Federation failed to restore their confidence.
In the control room of Yao Tianxing, Gao Hongbing ran in excitedly, took a big sip of tea, and said, "I sold another batch of weapons today, this business is really good." ”
"Isn't it, thanks to the military."
"It's a pity that we have too little grain and herbs, and now the prices on the market have increased five or six times, and they are still soaring."
"But I heard that the Dolphin Star government is stepping up the collection of personnel, and on the way back, I met a patrol and asked us what we want from Yaotian, but I refused, there are only a few people in our place, who will take care of the house."
When Ling Xiyao heard this, she raised her eyebrows, this plot is really getting more and more exciting.
At a time when the whole Union was in despair, President Wayne of the Federal Empire stood up on behalf of the federal government, and he made an impassioned statement, first criticizing the military for its improper style and deceiving the government and the people, and then saying that since the military was unreliable, the government was willing to organize troops to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and called on all non-governmental organizations to actively resist the war, and those who achieved victory could receive a series of rewards.
Although Wayne has not been president for a long time, he is undoubtedly a very inflammatory leader, the federal people are completely boiling, the name Wayne is also remembered by the world, some brain-dead compatriots, even regard him as a hero worship, following his speech, federal governments at all levels have issued statements in support of the president's decision, and said that the convoy is in place, waiting for the president's order at any time, powerful civil organizations around the country have also threatened to join the battle, several giant enterprises jumped out and are willing to support the government war, Hope for humanity seems to have returned.
The military, which has been tepid, couldn't sit still at this time, jumped out and called on the people to exercise restraint, war is not child's play, and vividly depicted the cruelty and danger of war, asking the government not to act rashly and make fun of people's lives, and the federal government is not vegetarian, so it immediately launched a counterattack, and the military was dumbfounded after several times of reply, and fell silent again, and this public opinion war still ended in defeat for the military.
"How do I think the military did it on purpose?" With Ling Xiyao's understanding of the Ji family, she shouldn't be easily seized of the initiative, it feels like she is releasing water, and she doesn't understand what its purpose is.
There are also two of President Wayne's aides, who are about to be promoted to former staff, Wayne is too high-profile, high-profile people are easy to die quickly, the two persuaded several times to no avail, and reluctantly submitted their resignations, the high-spirited Wayne did not keep it, he couldn't use it for himself, and it was pointless to stay by his side, and he was glad that the two were interested, otherwise it was unknown whether they could get out of the way.
A secret conversation is taking place in the president's office.
"Second less, the personnel from all over the country are already in place, I don't know when the new equipment will be in place?" The president, who was high in front of people, was now standing respectfully like a subordinate next to a man who was dozens of years younger than him.
"Equipment is ready to be in place, but are you sure about this war?" The man who sat casually in the president's seat asked slowly.
President Wayne smiled confidently like a fox and assured: "There is no problem, we have conducted a thorough investigation and study of the battlefields of each military region, and the personnel have undergone secret and rigorous training, coupled with the new equipment you have provided, I am sure that I will win the war." ”
The young man, apparently less optimistic than him, asked, "What about the military?" When you are facing the enemy, you do not rule out the possibility that the military will cause trouble, and it will be disgraceful to lose the war. ”
"You don't need to worry about this, the military is now infamous, as long as he dares to make any moves, I promise to expose it as soon as possible, after all, public opinion is always on our side, in case we lose the war, we can completely put the blame on the military, and the credit for winning is ours."
