Enemy-occupied area within the Orion Arm, located 7 light-years from the side of the Yongdao node. The Galactic Empire's fleet actually controls 3 planetary systems here. The three occupied planets are Hanchi, Cangming, and Zaifu.

This field has not been developed for a long time, and can be regarded as a remote area of the United Empire of Iridium. Hanchi Star is a marine planet with no land at all, where the Iridium people have built two large water cities, and there is no special industry in the local area, and there are some sightseeing attributes. Cangming Star is also very humid, except for 80% of the surface area is ocean, the planet's land is mostly swampy land, with a very special biodiversity. Iridium has established a biological laboratory and research institute here, and is engaged in some biological scientific research. Father Destroyer is relatively close to a binary star system and was originally relatively dry, but the Iridians have transformed the planet's atmosphere into a large, habitable planet that is now inhabited by 70 million people and is quite self-sufficient.

The arrival of the Galactic Army has caused varying degrees of damage to these three planets. There are only two settlements in Hanjixing, a water city was destroyed by the warships of the Galactic Army in the defense, many people were killed as a result, and the other city was occupied. Cangming and Zaifu are more precisely in a state of partial occupation.

Because the power of space is in the hands of the Galactic Army, the Iridium people on the ground cannot leave. The Galactic Army doesn't have the energy to completely alienate these planetary surface facilities, especially not for soldiers to occupy from house to house. There are a large number of farms on Cangming and Zaifu, and the inhabitants live in relatively rural areas. The Galactic Army does not waste energy trying to occupy it completely, but only attacks and occupies places where there is a military threat and government effectiveness.

In fact, the Iridium soldiers stationed on the ground did not fight the enemy hard, but went underground to carry out their activities. Major cities are now strongholds of the Galactic Army, who have removed Iridium weapon platforms, destroyed many facilities, declared curfews, and fought the resistance. However, other than that, these Galactic Forces did not consider expanding the scope and extent of their occupation.

In the green water province of Zaifu, deep in the mountains and old forests, a group of Iridium Resistance members are secretly operating. Because the province of Green Water is close to Tangbao, the largest city on Zaifu Planet, which has been occupied by the Galactic Army, many residents have already fled. Although people who have become accustomed to a very privileged city life may struggle to survive after leaving the city, the Iridium people clearly do not want to be under the control of the enemy.

The resistance, though formed only on an improvised basis, was not at all loose. Iridium has a strict social organization, a lot of militarized training, and a variety of filings and emergency plans, the Iridium people are very disciplined, and it is not so difficult to form a resistance organization.

The leader of this group of resistance groups was a sheriff in the surrounding towns named Yukun. With a serious expression, he said to the resisting militia in front of him, "We have made contact with the Imperial Army, the Führer has returned, and a large number of warships have been dispatched, and a campaign to recover Zaifu will be launched at any time. ”

The crowd was very excited, high-fived or hugged each other.

But You Kun didn't have a relaxed expression at all, he said: "It's not too early to be happy, the Galactic Army was able to occupy the Father Slayer Star, mainly because they caught us off guard. The United Empire has full strength, but our territory is too large and it is difficult to defend it. Now that the Galactic Army may be defeated, they will definitely not let go of the people on the Father Tree Star easily. The Führer fears that the scum of the Galactic Army may use our Patriarch people as bargaining chips to blackmail the Imperial Army. ”

A young man said angrily: "Threatened? They have already killed many of our compatriots, and the blood of the Iridium people on their hands cannot be washed away. Iridians never compromise with their enemies, and even if all the Iridians on Father Killer are killed, the United Empire will not retreat. ”

The other also nodded: "The Iridium people have backbone, even if we die, we don't want to be their bargaining chips." ”

A middle-aged uncle who was calmer carried a heavy fire rifle and said: "The United Empire of Iridium is not one of those fledgling small civilizations, and it is too normal for everyone on a planet to die at every turn. With this kind of trick, we Iridians can't be frightened. ”

You Kun was helpless, he sighed, "I know, but we still have to try to avoid this happening. There are many places where the inhabitants are controlled by the Galactic Army, and we don't have many people and weapons, so it's hard to compete with them. But, to the best of our ability, we still want to protect our fellow citizens from bad luck. ”

He continued: "The war is about to start, and we are not many in number, but we must provide more responses to the actions of the Imperial Army, and if we can help our compatriots in the process, we must do our best." ”

With a solemn face, he said in a deep voice: "Iridium, never give in!" ”

"Iridium, never give in!"

In many places on the Father Planet and Cangming Star, many Iridium people are making the same preparations. They are not unaware that such an action of striking a stone with an egg could lead to their death. Not even the officials of the United Empire would advise them to do so, but the Iridium bloodiness must be unleashed. They have been hiding their heads and tails for a long time, and anger is accumulating in everyone's hearts, no matter how weak the individual strength is, when they come together, it is a force to be reckoned with.

At the same time, however, the earth is in a completely different situation.

Earth is the only administrative planet in the United Empire of Iridium with a high degree of autonomy, and it is even the most populous planet in the entire United Empire. However, since the Earth was taken from the original solar system by Bai Zhongchu and placed in its current location, the Earth has always been very alienated from the United Iridium Empire.

There have been some changes in its administrative structure compared to more than 20 years ago, but fundamentally it has not changed much. There are still more than 200 countries and regions in the world, and if it weren't for Bai Zhongchu taking away their military power when he formed the Star Alliance, I'm afraid that there might still be sporadic military conflicts on the earth at this time.

The earth enjoys the high civilized material standard of living of the United Empire, but the political organization still exists, and the operation of the government organization still has many characteristics of the old era.

Bai Zhongchu completed the de-aristocracy in Iridium, but in fact, because of the inheritance of power on the earth, many political families and business families here have become aristocrats on the earth. It is only because of the high material standard of living and rich spiritual culture that ordinary people are insensitive to these inequalities.
